Guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to change the touchwiz default phone application, when clicking on this I would like to launch exdialer search contacts / get dialpad rather than the stock phone application.
Is there any way to do this (rooted or non-rooted)..
Cheers
I would also like to know if this is possible.
Thank you
Maybe with tasker you can set a command?
Tasker looks like an interesting option

It's the only thing that comes to mind but I never could get myself to learn how to use Tasker effectively

Has anyone fixed this issue yet?
I can't stand the stock dialer's UI. JB's dark themed dialer was such an improvement.
I have tried Wanam to try and code it out but not working there either although it did fix the main settings menu.
Desperately need a fix for the disgusting white dialer app as all 3rd party dialers use the stock samsung base code.

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.

Hello all,
Wondering if someone can help me here...
I have spent a considerable of time modifying the Skyrocket and I must say it was worth it! I do use Go Launcher Pro and it really is quite impressive.
With that said, I do use other screen widgets but do use a few Go applications. One of them that I just installed is Go SMS. I absolutely love this and have set everything just about right. However, I don't like one particular feature and it seem it is simply not possible to change it (for obvious reasons). That is the auto reply option. I've tested it for hours and it does work quite well. Only a couple of times it did not execute. However, what I would like is a way to change that default auto reply text? Is there a way? Yes, I can add some custom text but that default "(From GO SMS auto reply)" still appears. I just can't seem to take it out.
Wondering if someone knows how to do this?
Much appreciated!

I would love to know that, too. Also more text to this auto-reply would be fine ...
You might be better off contacting the go dev team. There might be a way to do it but I am pretty sure if there is no setting for it in the app, you will have to decompile, hack and recompile the app...

Go software is crap. Huge ram usage and way too many cached images. My suggestion is dump go and use something like nova or apex and use handcent if you want a different messaging app. The aosp one is nice, it has popup in cm ROMs

Really, has anyone figured it out? For example if I install ExDialer and get a missed call notification, I always have to choose the default app to view it. It seems impossible to set ExDialer (or any other 3rd party app) as the default for opening the call history. There is always the extra tap to choose the app.
Anyone, solution? I have read the whole internet and can't find the workaround.
I can't get to really like the new KitKat dialer, want to use ExDialer ...
What happens if you freeze the stock dialer?

Well, there's two things that can be disabled. One is the Phone app. The other is the Google Dialer app. If I disable Phone then there's no difference. If I disable the Dialer app then I can open the missed calls well with exDialer but if there's an incoming call then there's no sign of it except for the led being on (I assume the Google Dialer app is responsible for displaying incoming calls and the answer/decline buttons).
So I must have the Google Dialer app running but that means I can't use ExDialer.

I've spent countless hours trying to figure this out. I've lost my hopes. There is no way to do that. I've even been flashing several different roms to test this out. Can't believe so few people are actually discussing this.
Not getting my S6 until Monday, but two of the first things I plan on doing are installing the Google Now Launcher, and the Google Keyboard. As a long time Nexus user, hopefully this will get me as close to that vanilla android feel as possible.
So my question is...has anyone installed those apps? How is it running? Anything else you can do to make it as vanilla feeling as possible?
the problem with the google launcher is the samsung icons stay, you have to wait for a lollipop theme to be available on the gs6 theme store
I use nova launcher and a LP icon pack. i also set the animations in nova to be LP and the google now search as LP style

That was my other thought. Haven't used Nova Launcher in a while...but might be using now just for the lollipop icons. Looks like lollipop icons comes baked into nova launcher now, awesome.
How about Google Now? Would be awesome to get it via swipe to the left in nova...but doesn't look like that's possible. Any suggestions for that?

I actually use the stock LP icons in nova. Looks fine for me. I dont use google now because the lack of customization, the icons/drawer are too big.
Heres my homepage

Looks good. Any good ways to mess with the pulldown and quick settings? Seems like the notification shade and settings pages are the only thing that will be "touchwiz" at that point.

No way to mess with the look of them, thatd be related to rooting/roms/mods
I did remove any quick setting toggles so there would only be 5 that i use regularly

I can live with that. Does the built in themes affect the look though? Can set a different theme to mess with the shade, and then use Nova.

I'm waiting for other themes so i can find one I like. But I would imagine the system themes from samsung would affect the look of everything else, and then the launcher would be overtop and be the "visual" styling for stock android
One thing I'm missing is the priority setting for notifications. Stock android you could set volume profile to priority and get only calls/texts from starred/priority contacts. Then could also set an auto time interval

Hopefully the built-in themer will get a lot of support so we have a lot of choices.
Samsung has some built in do not disturb stuff though right? On my nexus 5 I use "Nights keeper" at night so I get phone calls, but everything else is silent. Can set whitelists and everything.
The google keyboard is a touch laggy at times on the GS6 for me, specifically when swipe/slide typing. So are third party launchers. It's very small though. Some won't notice it I bet

The themes do change the shade, and practically every other aspect of the look, except the icons as mentioned, if you're using other than stock launcher.
I am using the latest nova launcher.

I feel pretty confident that this will take off and be Hugh...Plus for the themers it probably will make their work easier since it will probably come with some sort of themer package. This is one of the best parts of the phone is the ability to make it look different!

is there a way to disable stock dialer on this damn thing? tried everything. tried in the settings, doesn't work, still pops up when i make a call with another dialer. tried going to contacts and dialing from the contacts, selected another app as default dialer. nope. still stock dialer pops up.
is there a away to do this without package disabler?
Without root, not likely. There's a way to get package disabler free but not going to promote how to do that.
you can go to the theme store and get a pure android or whatever you like theme
and itll change everything even keybord
Google. There's a free PC based package disabler that's better than the app.

The material theme for the dialer looks awesome. Go into the Samsung store they got a dark theme that themes the dialer and settings menu.. Everything. Made my phone look great!
