[Q] Dialer contact search

Hi, I can't find a way to search contacts while typing their name or number in the stock dialer.
I mean, if I type the first two digits of my gf number in my old i5500, it showed her name. Is it possible on this device to do the same, without resorting to external apps (like I'm doing right now with aContacts)?
Thanks.
My Nexus S, for your info, is a i9023 SCLCD, rooted, using NSCollab.

There are few dialer apps on the market that do this. Dialer one, Go Contacts and dialer 2 are 3 that I have used. Also do a search for T9 Dialer. Enjoy, cheers.

Yeah, I know. Did you actually read my post?
I'm using aContacts, I was just wondering if it was possibile to do this in the stock dialer, or there was a modded dialer apk, who knows

Sorry I did it but I guess I read it too quickly or you edited it while I was typing. Hope you find an answer.

No problem Thanks for the help anyway!

You can hit the search key when on the contacts tab, but that's as close as you'll get without using a 3rd party app.

I see. That's funny, because a low-end phone like the i5500 had this really useful feature integrated in the OS. Go figure.

Yeah, I don't get it either.
I've become quite fond of GO Contacts, though.

I just tried mydialer, it is smokin fast. I like go as well. Bummer that GB doesn't have this as stock.

Go Contacts is better than aContacts, thanks It's even better than default contacts

VZW GS3 and Emoji

Alright well i just decided to root my phone and unlock the boot loader as well as loading liquidsmooths 4.1.2 ROM on here.. now my question is. how am i supposed to send emoji? like i can see emoji now but i see no option to send them.. that kind of defeats the whole purpose am i right?
also is there a way to change it from displaying Jellybean emoji to IOS 6 native emoji? i kind of prefer the look of those.
last question.. this is off topic but i'd like to change my boot loader image from liquid smooths back to the annoying Verizon LTE one, does anyone have the flashable zip for that?

hit the menu key and click "insert emoji" and then tap the order of the emoji you want and then hit the button at the bottom of the emoji window (should be OK or Send or something like that)
as far as the other 2 questions go, not sure about the native ios6 emoji as i don't really care cuz i only have 1 friend that uses emoji so i never paid too close attention, in my incredible 2 flashing days, devs had to cook native emoji support into it by modifying files...and shouldn't rom toolbox or that one app that has different boot images have that on there?

ahh i see thank you but that only works in the messaging app.. i was sort of wondering if it was part of the keyboard because i'd like to use it in other apps.

Playstore

I know that there are some custom keyboards from the play store that you can install that have that option. Like Go keyboard.

[Q] Dirty Unicorn questions

Flashed my S3 SGH-I747 with Dirty Unicorns and im loving it! its great so far but i do have some questions.
First is about using the voice features. I have the google app downloaded and i got the phone search to work but was wondering if there's a way to set it to come up when you double click the home button? I also cant seem to get the voice settings work in the messaging app. is there a way to fix that?
Second is about the lock screen wallpaper. It is the weirdest set up i've ever seen. How can i adjust the size of a picture or to adjust the wallpaper settings so that i can fit my custom images?
thats all i can really think of right now and any help is greatly appreciated!

[Q] Changing in-call/phone app

I've been using a Galaxy S3 for the last 3 years. I was happy with it but decided to upgrade to the One plus One.
I really don't like the default kitkat phone app. I don't like the contacts or the in-call screen. The buttons on the in-call app are too small. I really like the Galaxy s3 phone app and contacts app.
Is there anything that I can do to change the default apps? I installed GO SMS, and I really like it. I like the contacts part of that app too. I've tried RocketDial but I don't like the dialer app and the in-call screen is the default kitkat screen.
Could someone please help me with this??

All you can do is keep testing dialer apps until you find one you like.

I've tried two dialer apps and neither of them changed the in-call screen. Any suggestions??

You can't change the in-call screen. This is what Android actually looks like, you're used to a skinned version of it.

How can I skin that screen? Does anyone have any tutorials on that. I'm not opposed to designing something myself if I could learn how to do it?
I just really hate the default in-call screen. The buttons are too close together and too small at the bottom.

I'm trying exDialer, it's not bad.

You would have to rip the apks apart and redo them from the ground up. Not an easy job at all and still very limited

How to add shortcuts to the lockscreen?

Hi,
Can you guys tell me how to add shortcuts to the lockscreen? I could not find the option anywhere.
Thanks for your help.

As far as I know, the only way is to use xposed. Option not available in standard settings.

Dang. Samsung truely became Apple's ***** on this one. The phone looks the same and now works the same.
I haven't rooted yet and I wanna wait a little bit and see how the Android and Samsung Pay work first before rooting.
Do you know any way to add the flash light on the home screen?

Xposed is the way I have always added that, but I have not tried it yet on the note 5, sorry!
