Hi members,
currently im making my own rom. I deleted all crappy apps and sense and added adw launcher ex and kitchen. It works great but i have a little issues:
When i type numbers at my homescreen the dialer doesn't open. I fixed this by making a shortcut to the dailer.
I know the questions sounds a little newby for you developers. But can you please help me out here?
Greetz,

When I type in numbers at my home screen, Google Search opens, not the dialer. As far as I know only on the stock ROM the dialer opens by default.
I can confirm this behavior on SuperOSR and CyanogenMod.
I deleted google search so i guess thats why nothing opens. Thanks Alex C.

Yes, it's so. But I think dialer by default is very useful function on home screen.
Not sure, but maybe it has to do with the launcher you use? I mean, when you are in home screen, you are actually in the launcher application. Just an idea.

I just came across LauncherPro Beta in the market. Man it's fast. Smoothest scrolling I have seen on any launcher.
http://www.launcherpro.com/
I'm very impressed with it
Wow! you're right, the scrolling is so much smoother than stock. I don't like the icons at the bottom though. I'm gonna try switching them with NinjaMorph
wow yeh...once the docks are customisable then this is the best launcher out there...easy
How do you activate the home screen previews?

Press home when you are on the home screen
I'm loving it. It's super fast and like the new screen selection overview
not bad, in fact, it's very good and responsive; couple of things that i'd like
1. most of you have already mentioned customizable docks (the only one i'd actually like to remove is the contact and replace it with market)
2. remove the text on the homescreens (like helixlauncher) for shortcuts/widgets
Holy crap this IS fast. Hope they make the dock a little bit like Helix2, and it'll be perfect.
Wow amazing!! A few things still need to be implemented (love walls, custom dock) but the Dev has already stated he is working on it. A few other things, there is no home icon once you're in the app drawer, you have to press the back button to access the home screens again. Also, there is no '3D effect' with the drawer scrolling.
Will be my default wall for sure after those issues are resolved. GREAT start though!
Noob question....How do you switch between launchers? I had Launcher pro activated then went to settings, manage applications and force stopped it to go back to the original I had running but now want to turn back on LauncherPro to compare and not quite sure how to do that, thanks for any help

clear defaults for the launcher, press home, and then it should ask what launcher you want to use.

On the same screen, press the 'Clear Defaults' button. Then press the home button on your phone and it should prompt you to select the launcher of your choice

Go into Settings> Applications> Manage applications> scroll to whichever launcher you have set to default, select it, then select "clear defaults." After that, when you press the Home button you'll have the choice of which launcher to use and can set your option as default.

an easier solution is to use the free app on the market called Home Switcher
i just installed it and it's very simple and easy to use; one click and you can switch default to whatever launcher you have installed
It would be great if we could get a system app version.
I think I got it, thanks!

you may want to try ADW launcher and HelixLauncher (1 or 2)
Damn. After about 30 mins of use, I've decided that Helix has some serious competition here. I've been asking arctu/Faruq to add the Sense UI style home screen previews for months now, and he just couldn't do it. This is kick ass. If only it allowed pinch gesturing to trigger the previews.
Awesome Launcher, thanks for sharing!
I have recently moved from a Palm Pre to a G1... so please be nice!
Is there a way to replace the actual dialer on this thing? I hate having to hit menu every time I want to do simple things like turn the speakerphone on and off. Is there an alternative dialer that can be installed to replace the one that my CM 6.0 RC1 ROM came with?
And in similar vein, is there a tool that has can apply various tweaks etc. to the OS? Kind of like Preware for WebOS or Advanced Configuration Tools for WM...
If you are on CM6 RC1 then you can go to Settings>Call Settings and check the Touch UI for a better interface.
Download Dialer One.
I really like aContacts. It's one of my favourite apps so far. Far better than the stock address book and dialer.

try this before you download new dialers it's head over heels better that stock (oh and select left handed mode for a less annoying hold button)
and nothing like preware all those things are built into adw launcher cyanogen settings and spare parts. themes and stuff are found here on xda
Do you know how to integrate or replace default dialer with aContacts? I removed the standard dialer in my rooted X10 and now when I had a missed call and wanted to view it, it said 'Application can't launch standard dialer. Please contact with developer.
Cheers.

Hi all
I'm looking to find an app that combines the best features of dialers and the android (or is it samsung?) contacts app.
Basically, i love being able to open up the dialer, and type in the name on an alphanumeric keyboard which is open on default. This means to find a name takes about a second, and about 2 or 3 strokes of a key.
BUT, all dialers i have tried, once you click on the contact, open up the contact, and then you still have to click "call" and "yes, i am freaking sure!".
I LOVE the feature on my stock contacts app for swiping left to message and right to call. I want that feature in a dialer app to minimize the effort required to call or sms.
Anyone able to recommend a good app that makes calling and messaging contacts a breeze?
Thanks in advance!
JonAlex
Try AContact. It has a few settings that you can fiddle with and is pretty fast.
Im using go contacts since month... its good. serves my purpose. And It got what you want if I understand properly.

Nope, you can't swipe to dial or message in Go contact
I'd go for "Dialer One", but it's a matter of taste.
I'd ALSO go for dialer one.. in fact i used dialer one for a while.. but i didn't like:
1. No swipe to dial/message function, meaning that it was not an ideal replacement for stock contacts
2. Shows all numbers of a contact as separate contacts. I have 6 friends called matt, which means when i type in matt, it shows me over 20 phone numbers for matts. fail.
I will give go contacts a try...
Is the only reason why the swipe to dial/call function has not been added to all these dialers because the devs haven't thought of it? if so, what a huge oversight. If not, why not??
If the stock contacts app opened with an alphanumberic keyboard, i would consider it the best dialer.
Keep suggestions rolling people!

AFAIK, the stock SGS 'dialer' can search for contact name. like say matt, you can dial in 6288 (for matt). however, a little problem with the dialer is that you can't swipe to call except for log and favourite list.
The stock contact include a search bar at the top when you open it. It should do what you want to do.
Have you tried RocketDialer?
i tried rocket dialer today. it does have some nice features, although having a price isn't one of them. I live in South Africa and can't pay for these things cos google wont let me!
I really like the look and feel of the stock contact app, and could easily replace the dialer with an alphanumeric keyboard, but the reality is that having to hit the searchbar, and then type in someone's name on a portrait qwerty keyboard doesn't make me happy like the T9 dialers.
I would PAY (if i could) if someone tweaked the stock contacts app to include a dialer.
Hi, I was just wondering if it would be possible to replace the sense phone.apk with the default android one. I have s-off and root but I'm not sure if just switching the apk would break the phone?
Thanks in advance
You can't brick your phone. Install the default android launcher .apk, press the home button, select it. Then remove the stock launcher.
hey sorry not the launcher apk i mean the call one that pops up when you are in a call. It has a white background and a picture of a green android thing with the name or number of the person you are calling.
Ive heard that this is the phone.apk but it is tied into more than just the dialer app so replacing it could have bad effects on the phone.
As far as I know that phone.apk does not exits. Its included in the launcher. And at a second thought, I believe that that dialer would pop up in potrait mode, not in landscape so you would rotate your phone to see the number. Try the free launchers avaible in Android Market.

hello, the launcher has nothing to do with the dialer!!!
i use awd launcher but the dialer & contacs are still from the stock rom!
- Ahem, may I?
First of all the launcher is an application that represents a shell which displays your usability options. Let's make some comparisons as it's easier this way.
Imagine that your phone is a PC running Windows. Now, if you don't have the explorer.exe process running, which is a shell, you won't have the task bar, start button, icons on the desktop, can't access programs/games, etc. Your options are very limited and you cannot use almost any features, except the fact that since it's an OS based on different applications, the dialer screen will appear when receiving a phone call, alarm clock will be displayed and so on.
So basically you only need the Launcher to see the list of applications and to be able to run them. That's about it. The themes on the other hand, affect the icons, wallpaper and launcher's graphics. That's it.
Every other application has it's own graphics and appearance style.
*the text below is an assumption*
As for the screen you are trying to remove/clear, well that's a different problem. It might be the dialer application that has this screen and without the application you won't be able to dial any numbers and cause a various number of problems.
*the text above is an assumption*
- Thank you for your attention.
I think I will just have a go at replacing it and keep a backup in cwm in case something goes wrong. I'll let you guys know how it goes

Replacing it shouldn't break anything. Removing it, will.
Gave it a go by replacing the sense phone.apk with the one from cm7 in the zasa build but all it did was create a force close loop.
Hi,
I did a search on this forum, but it did not ended up with the desired results.
I installed Fallout 4.3 with kernel v6. I installed ADW.launcher and theme Andriodphone7. Worked well. After a short wile I wanted to use sence and set it to default. After that I am not able to use ADW launcher anymore.
It does not show up under Apps or task manager downloaded Apps. If I want to download it it say's it's already installed. I uninstalled ADW and reboot and reinstalled. After it's installed I do not get the button open only remove.
I updated Fallout 4.3 to V5 and still no luck.
Any idea what I can do so I can use ADW again with fallout?
Thanks
Go to Apps in Settings, find HTC Launcher and press "clear defaults" or something like that.
Then when you press the home capacitive button it will ask which launcher to use. Then you can set a default as well

And that did the trick. I wasn't aware I could delete the default setting in Apps. Things you learn on a Friday
Thanks a lot I love this setting.
btw, Thanks for the kernel is works like a fully charged fazer :good:
Great!
