Replace MIUI dialer - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
Is it possible to replace the standard MiUi dialer / contacts by Go Contacts? I like the Go Contacts because of the looks and the fact that you can see the phone numbers beneath every contact.
When I look at the system apps, I see the following: contacts and dialer, dialer, contacts, google contacts, maybe more related. MIUIandroid 2.3.7. Which apps do I have to remove and or replace within the rom?
Does it even work or can you just use it beside the standard dialer?
I already removed the dialer and "Contacts and dialer", but that left me with a system that couldn't make dials at all.
TIA

[REQUEST] [DIALER] Sense dialer app (or similiar)

I'm looking for a sense dialer app (or similar). Basically, one that will query contacts AND the call log as you dial. Do any exist?
don't think so. but you can search for NubDialer in the market - made by Wysie. Or you can also try the dialer one. it's something quite similar to sense dialer.

Dialer One doesn't query the call log or tell you the number you are calling (e.g., mobile, work, etc.). I just checked and NubDialer doesn't either.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
has anyone found an app to do this yet?

current version of dialer one does all these things.
Re: Sense dialer app (or similiar)
the search widget does this too. as you type it searches your contacts.

This isn't accurate. If I called 1234567890 a week ago, but it isn't in my phonebook, I cannot type 456 in DialerOne and have it retrieve that record. He has thrown in a new "group by call log" which will sort the query results by most frequently called, but that is it.

Right... but again - not looking for contacts... Looking for call log.
me too.
i tried "dailer one" and its not bad. it searches for contacts while you dial. but i dont like the ui.
i would prefer something more sense like...
does somebody know where to find it?
maybe if somebody could pull it from a sense rom?
EDIT: actually the ui of dialer one is far better if you set the the system wallpaper as background.
i think dialer one will become my phone app;-)

I'm working on making a theme to sense dialer, I will make a thread for it today
As all HTC apps need & use HTC's framework, none of them can be used on a normal Android ROM. The only way is installing a Sense ROM. But as people told you, Dialer One & NubDialer are the best dialers out there.

[REQUEST] Dialer app

Is there any dialer app which resembles the SE 2.1 dialer app (with dialer, call log, contacts and favourites, and allows to add new contacts directly, etc)?
I have just found Youlu. Looks nice. Any other ideas?
I am using "Dialer One" and it is good.
youlu address book......it's the besttttttttttttt
I installed youlu yesterday and today have deleted all other phonebook/dialer/calllog applications. Youlu no doubt is excellent and has a cool widget too.
I also like the youlu dialer, but there is one problem.
Because I wanted to fix my lowres contact pictures, I have linked all pictures to my facebook account and until now I have not found any app that can show these pics.
I don't want to change the pictures for +200 contacts again to use this app.
Is there anyone who has found a different dialer app that can show the facebook pictures ?

I'm enjoying Youlu too. However, I have a problem. When I dial a number ou select a contact in it, it opens SE blue background dialer. Should it be like that?

You can set the facebook pictures directly to your contacts with syncmypix. Then every phonebook will show them. The app also has a high res setting.

No, it shouldn't be like that.
Delete the defaults for Youlu (in Settings->Applications->Management) and repeat the action, when prompted select Youlu as default.

I tried, but didn't work. Any clue? My x10 is a 2.1 version...Keep using the low resolution picture when I dialed a number, I didn't have the same problem back in 1.6
is there a dialer which allows conference calling my old tilt2 i could have 6 callers at once.

Uninstalled, reinstalled, but there was no option to choose it as default... Did I miss anything?
Being old skool, i'd like a answer/ reject button not a slider like on stock 2.1. Is there a way of doing this. I currently run Dialer One and its awesome, just not the answer slide bar...

2.1 dialer is the best, I really don't understand why they abandoned it.

CM Dailer

Hey,
Quick question. I am using an incredible for a while in replacement of my X. I just loaded up CM and was playing around with it. Just a quick question about the dialer. Is there anyway that the dialer can search contacts as you type in the number or name similar to the 2.2.1 dialer on the Droid X?
Or is there any alternative dialer that I can swap in for it that has this functionality ?
Thanks in advance
Dial One or Dialer One something, it's an app from the market.
I always just go to contacts and tap the search hard button and type in the first few letters of their names
check out youlu...works great
Is there any way to port the stock htc dailer into cm or are there to many framework depedencies?

Have Contacts Show While Dialing?

Does anyone know if the Phone.apk/Contacts.apk can be changed to work how older versions of the Dialer worked, where as you dialed, contacts would show on the screen, so you could quickly find the contact. In the newer versions of Froyo/GB, it looks like it only allows you to dial the number but contacts don't show up.
Try using Go Contacts/Go Dialer. When you dial it shows the contacts as you dial like the old version of the dialer used to do
You could also try TouchPal or Dialer One, both will suit your purpose.
I really want this too. Seems insane to remove from the stock dialer.
It would be a great feature to see incorporated into new roms.

That was never the stock dialer.
For instance on galaxy s devices its part of touchwiz

It was stock on my Nexus One... it showed whatever the default contact pic was for both incoming and outgoing calls. On G2x stock dialer I just have the Bugdroid.

Are you sync'ing your contacts with Google? If so, you can manage the images there.
