Hold the contact icon and slide it there. Then it will ask what icon u want to use and done
Thanks for the response, I was wondering this too.

How do I remove the stock shortcuts that are at the bottom of the screen with Launcher Pro> i can easily add in others, for a total of 15, but I want to remove some of the ones that are pre-installed.

Just hold your finger down on them until the menu pops up. If you want fewer dock screens (5 or 10 icons instead of 15 as you scroll) you can change that in menu > preferences > dock settings > number of docks.
I'm wondering what is everyone using since the cm6 dialer doesn't search contacts as you type their name in T9 format. Or is there a setting I'm missing.

Dialer one off the market has all of those sense features
Yeah, I've tried it but it's slow and doesn't have any of the tabs on top like call log, contacts, favorites.
I'm not sure why the developer didn't choose to replace the default dialer with his and instead added a dialer. This creates a problem because after dialing and conversation is over the default dialer is shown.
I started this thread thinking the CM6 developer responsible for dialer app would take this as a request to the default dialer if anything.
Can we install the old sense dialer if we have the apk or will it not work since it isn't a sense rom?
I usually just hit the search button once I open the dialer to find the contact I'm looking for.
And as for returning to the dialer after a call, there is a setting in the preferences for this. There's also a setting in the main call settings for returning to the call log after a call.

It won't work: no sense apps will work on AOSP since there's not HTC framework.

turn off the "Display contacts photo" setting and that should take care of the slowness. it doesn't have tabs at the top, but you can swipe left and right on the list to change views.

Thanks, that helped with the speed I didn't know about the swiping either.
What about the buttons. Don't you guys find them to be too much against each other? I like the default dialer better. It "seems" like you are less likely to hot the wrong key.
Hi!
I'm using GoLauncher on 2.3.3 rooted.
I changed my Wallpaper on Homescreen, but this wallpaper is not set as default wallpaper on every screen for eg. when I push the dial-pad button, the wallpaper changes back o the Sony Ericcson default one (the blue one).
Same happens when I start the settings.
Is there a way to set my wallpaper as a "global" wallpaper?
Thx a lot!
Set it as default in golauncher and you are done Oo

When you say the dial pad button, you mean the dialer right? you cant change the background for the dialer, setting or sms app, to change it you will have to edit the SemcGenericUxpRes.apk in /system/framework
You also need to change it in framework-res.apk, it's called semc.bg. There's also one for landscape/horizontal wich name I can't recall right now.
Regards Dousan...
damn... thats's exactly what i mean...
so I need to change these files everytime I would like to chamge my BG?
Maybe I just started to like the blue BG....

Yes that's correct, if you want match your homescreen wall with system app walls

is it just me or is it complete crap?
to look up a number in contacts requires several screens/button pushes - this is majorly annoying
once a call is connected you have to hit a button to then hit the speaker - why not put that on the connected call screen?
slow
laggy
i came from a n1 with cm7 on it.

dude you must be high if you go in the app drawer there is a contacts icon thats it not seven screens, and if you in the dialer just hit menu at the bottom and theres a peoples icon with all your contacts not seven screens. you obviously dont know how to use the phone lol......also you can turn speaker on before the call even connects wich is also on the connected call screen
Also you can just go to phone and start typing the person's name.
So 326 would bring up all starting with "dan"
If you don't want to call the primary number just tap the contact details icon then tap the other number you want.
It's probably the best dialer I've used, so quick and easy.

Try touch pal dialer from market. It is much better, and free.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.cootek.smartdialer&feature=search_result
It's the best dialer I've ever used, and so is the People app Love it. This is why I love Sense. Dunno what drugs you've taken
Nah, i'm in the same boat as the OP.
the n1 dialer was better, more efficient. The sense dialer has too much to scroll through.
Maybe after I get used to it , it will get better.

You SCROLL through the dialer? Why?
This thread is so funny to me because I use the Sense UI for the dialer alone, it is superior to the AOSP dialer in every way.
Indeed this dialer is a much requested feature in other roms. Haven't used a faster one, and I came from cm7
There's absolutely 0 reason to ever scroll through anything in it

Exactly.. I don't know how much easier it can get than opening the dialer and hitting the first letter or 2 of the persons name you are calling...
Every stock ROM I use I always download TouchPal dialer because of it's sense-like features. I hate having to scroll through the contacts to find the person i'm trying to call with the stock dialer.

I love the Sense dialer/contact apps. I wish those and the sense lockscreen will be ported to CM7 when it is released.

Its cause I usually hit the contacts shortcut as opposed to the phone shortcut.

Well don't
Ok say you prefer the people app to the dialer, once it's open, select the search bar at the top and tap out the first few letters of the contact you want, select it from the list and dial from there.
No scrolling.
Or just get used to using the phone dialer as you're meant to. The people app is really meant for managing contacts.

I hate the sense dialer/contacts also and prefer the AOSP version however with either dialer you can just type the person's name and the contact will appear....scrolling is for old people....

I agree with you. Though for me, it's not the dialer...it's the seemingly random way that the phone will store a saved number...sometimes to the phone, sometimes to the SIM, and sometimes completely hidden and not able to be found until you start manually typing a number into the dialer, at which time it shows you that it *does* know the contact you're trying to reach, it just won't let you find it any other way.
Then there's the joy of syncing, especially with multiple gmail accounts, and having 3-4-5 copies of the SAME CONTACT and having to manually delete them all. I think my monochrome Nokia 3310 had a better contact interface.
Dunno if this is just my A2, but whenever I try to make a stock email account shortcut to Launcher Pro's dock, the shortcut appears on the homescreen instead of the dock o.o
It sometimes even says that the homescreen crashed and I need to force close it (which doesn't do anything)
Anyone else experiencing this problem?
Could anybody try this out (it takes like a minute if you have a stock email account) and see if they get the same results? Reboot and reinstall don't seem to fix the problem, and I haven't read about anything similar =/
Didn't want to make another thread just for this questions:
What is the best size of wallpapers for the A2? I remember reading somewhere it's 1080 x 960, just want to make sure~
Thanks~
Ive been looking at launchers to get just posted a thread to but I think the Launcher doesnt work for the gmail app on 2.3.5 not sure if thats the one ur using tho
I have been using my gmail in the dock with zero problems using launcher pro. What email app are you trying to install. I see a icon for both the gmail and a email in my dock options?

The gmail app works fine, but the stock email app doesn't. I have 2 accounts on my stock email, and I want them both on the dock. I try to add a shortcut to my stock email accounts, but the shortcuts end up going on the homescreen for some reason =/
See if this will help you, long press on the dock icon that you want to change, should result in a option to change shortcut, choose that, select shortcut, choose applications, then choose your email app of choice, then you can either use the default icon or the launcher pro icon in the dock. Hopefully that will help you.

choose custom short cut, activities, expand messaging and select the launcher for the email account
---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 AM ----------
ok, i see what you problem is, lol
that's weird, it just keeps popping on the homescreen instead of the dock.
the best i can get to work with LP is to have a link to the universal inbox, which will show messages and emails from all accounts.
to get that, long press the dock icon where you want the link, change shortcut, select activities, scroll down until you see 2 entries for "universal inbox", click the second entry and select the activity com.motorola.blur.messaging.universal.UniversalInboxActivity
then you can select an icon.
there has to be an activity associated with each individual box though, i just can't find it. you can build a custom LP activity though if you know what the activity for each inbox is.

oh so I see it wasen't just my phone that was doing this lol
Yea, I was going to
Change Shortcut -> Email -> Choose account
and the shortcut would pop up on the homescreen =/
hm, maybe the name of the activity will be similar to the Universal Inbox, except it has some part to it to identify which account to go to?
If you have your email accounts set up with the stock email app on the phone you can create a shortcut on the dock with the method I described and it will work. Hope you get it figured out

yes you can, in fact, they will already be setup. however, you can only view 1 account with it. you can set which account you want to see by setting it as the default account in the email app

Wait, is this occuring with the regular dock as well? I only tried it with the Launcher Pro dock, so dunno if you can dock stock email accounts on the original dock..
If you CAN dock them on the original dock, wouldn't I have to contact the devs of Launcher Pro?

yep, fede will have to look into that, but i doubt he will update LP for this since it only effects 1 device and he hasn't touched LP in a while.
but, you can dock them on the stock home and i can dock it on ADW
