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.

Hi guys,
This is the first app that we share with the xda community.
Our goal is to create a different experience using SMS following Google+ and Google Now UI style. Starting from stock Messaging app, we add some cool features and a clean user interface.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=crometh.android.nowsms
Features
Popup on new messages
Unread messages reminder
Notifications quick actions
List animations
Emoji support
Extra themes
Theme personalization
MMS (Beta)
Strip accented char function
Note
At the moment Now SMS requires stock sms app to work correctly.
MMS support is still in beta test, we'll appreciate all feedback.
Thank you
Crometh Team

Wifi Calling SMS/MMS support?
I have 4.1.2 on a T989 using a TW interface only because my home has no coverage and I use WiFi Calling as my sole means for voice, sms, mms. Would this still function? Specifically the MMS portion, as no 3rd party app yet recognizes that my WiFi is used for MMS and it tries to fire up my 3G/4G connection (which doesn't exist).
I am asking because I can't get it to work, or maybe I've not set up a particular setting correctly yet. APN changes needed to get it to work maybe?
Like the looks if this, good job

No, dual sim support is not officially supported by android so there ins't public api. Dual sim implementation is customized by every manufacturer and/or every device and is not simple to find documentation about it

FIXED VELVET LINK in original post it was in. Sorry. It's late here and I'm tired. Copying and pasting defeated me.
As for Search not working, it doesn't basically right now. Don't forget, we don't have 4.4 so some things will only work fully when we update. However, I read this that one guy did to apparently fix it
"If Google Now/Search is force closing on you...
Go to Settings > Language and Input > Language
And change it to "Espanol (Espana)" (Another language may work, but I tried it with this one)
Go back home, and try to make a search. If you don't know Spanish, say "me hablo espanol" (me hah-blow s-pan-yole)
Go back to Settings and change it back to English. See if this works.
It fixed it for me." I cannot say it does or doesn't work at all however.

I presume that will be a physical part of 4.4 itself, and not just the launcher app. As the transparent bars are a part of the rom itself in 4.4 I think.

Just tried all these, the launcher, Google now, and Hangouts work.
Touchless control still works with the new version of Now.
Hangouts seems a little slow to send SMS, but that might be my specific conversation list, as they are all huge amounts of messages. Emoji are present in Hangouts and send fine.
Launcher runs incredibly smooth and flawlessly.
I don't see a difference between the stock gallery app on my moto x and the new one. Camera works, but the buttons are stretched off the screen and selecting photosphere crashes the app.
OK, now use Google now. Force close.

Probably not, it was designed specifically for the Nexus 5 so something like that makes sense to be off. Why would you want to replace your Moto X camera with the N5 one anyway? you would lose specific Moto X features.
Is this possible? I have a non activated T-Mobile sim in the 2014 Moto X Pure Edition on 5.0
I only use google voice with hangouts to make and receive calls. I want to be able to hit a number online and have it call with Hangouts. Instead it only give me the option to call with the default dialer or Viber. I have SMS set as default so I recieve that directly through Hangouts. Not sure what im doing wrong with the dialer.
Try installing Google Voice onto your phone. The hangouts dialer is just an add-on to Hangouts, and not really a standalone app. It becomes a shortcut in the app drawer to Hangouts. Hope this helps and update us on an answer!

Yeah I have Google Voice on the phone as well.
OK. Go into settings and find Application Manager. Then scroll to All and look for the Dialer.apk and clear its defaults. Or just drag the phone icon on the home screen to the top and should give option to view App Info, which will tell you what app it is.

Thanks for the reply. I did that but clear defaults is greyed out so I can't click on it. Says no defaults set. I downloaded default app editor. For the calling option there's only phone and viber but for messaging hangouts is on the list. I need hangouts on the list for calling
Just received the hangouts dialer update this morning. Still can't set as default but it did enable me to touch a number online and call with Hangouts Dialer. Good enough!
