Hi everyone,
I want to use DW contacts and phone App as my default dialer.
I installed the app but how to make this the default dialer app.
I looked into Application Manager under the ALL tab, and managed to remove the dialer app as default, but then couldn't see where to make DW dialer, as the default app.
I've searched for hours.
The only current solution is to put the DW dialer icon on the edge panel and remove the default one. But I can't seem to get the Dialer icon on the bottom left of the display to link to DW dialer, meaning setting DW as the default dialer. Every time i press the icon only the default android/samsung dialer comes up.
Anyone know where/how to edit the app drawer shortcuts?
Maybe I will root again and try to do this and edit some setting in the system. ie build.prop ? (I haven't re-rooted since installing stock lollipop) Or is there another way?

Has anyone found a solution?
All 3rd party dialers use the stock samsung dialer as their base.
You can only choose the stock dialer or skype as the default when making or receiving a call.
Is there any mod anyone has heard about to flash the stock dark themed JB dialer?
I hate the stupid white UI of the KK and LP dialers.

I installed handcent and now when I get a text I get 2 notifications. How do I delete the at&t app? In titanium backup I only see the ability to remove the preferences but not the program itself.
Also I am running launcher pro and I want to use my tw app drawer icon but its not available when I go to change the icon. How do I get it on there? I can use other tw icons for other apps, just not this one.
Thx

Open Messaging, and on the main list of all your threads hit Menu then settings and disable Notification.
I had the same issue. Don't delete the messaging app. (I don't know if you should or shouldn't, so I wouldn't), just disable the notifications.
Edit: Gotten from here: http://www.handcent.com/Faq.php
It's an excellent sms replacement imo.
I want to know how to set a custom shortcut icon. Im running ADW EX and I know you can add a custom shortcut then click the picture, problem is I am running a theme and I want to use Go SMS with the themed stock messaging icon. Where are those icons located? Is there a way to get to those icons somehow or do i have to extract them? If my question doesnt make sense ill try to clear it up. Thanks!

easiest way is desktop visualizer free app on the market.
Sent from 1.5GHz CM7 Nexus S.
ok ill give that a go. Does anyone know the path to locate the system icons? So I can choose them in the appropiate app.
Edit: Ok so i gave desktop visualizer a go and its exactly what i want. HOWEVER when i choose the messaging icon and the nthe application Go SMS it still brings up the default messaging icon instead of the the themed messaging icon. Any ideas?
hi guys,
ive just installed handcent sms (could be any particular messages app) and i want to use handcent instead of the optimus 3d's original sms app. i turned off notifications of the original sms app, however, the quick launch bar will still show a "1" if a new sms comes in, AND it also starts the original sms app.
i would like to have the quick launch bar sms symbol start the handcent sms app instead of the original app. is there any way to do that?
thanks!
Do a backup then delete the messaging apk from the system/app folder. Can't remember what it's called though. it'll most likely have a messaging icon.
then set handcent as the default and restart your phone. worked on my last android phone so should work on the O3D
that did not work. after renaming the messaing apk from systemapp folder, the home launcher crasher. afterwards the messaging symbol in the quick starter was gone, however, no way it got replaced by handcent (tried rebooting, setting as standard).
now i renamed the messaging apk to its original name again but still the quick starter place for messages is empty.
i think this means there is a config file for the quick starter somewhere, that says which apk at which position. after the home screen detected that some apk was missing, it removed it from that config file. we need to look for that file.
try to freeze the messanging apk with AntTek app manager, don't uninstall...just freeze it
do that in Handcent SMS
setting -> application setting
1 - Root your phone if its not rooted
2 - Download Root Uninstaller
3 - Backup Messaging aka mms.apk and Messaging Widget aka messagewidget.apk ( both are in green as the message icon )
4 - Unintall both of them ....
Works for me and hope it works for you too

I have a LG G3 and i want to use Exdialer because i dont like the skin of the defaut dialer
Exdialer run perfectly except when i make a call or answer to a call it is the defaut dialer of LG.. There is a solution for have Exdialer for all ?
Thanks
I am sorry but when i go to manage applications and set defaut to exdialer its grey i cant do anything..
ExDialer is only a dialer app. It does not change the incoming or outgoing call screens - which are handled by the system framework. Themeing/changing them requires framework level changes.
Dialer apps can only go so far as to provide you with the dialing screen and/or contact management.
The default Sony dialer app pops up during each call even after I installed another dialer (Dialer One from apk).
The app always blends in some 'creatively' designed background patterns - and make the actual Name of the caller unreadable; depending on the color which seems to be changing by chance.
How can one get rid of the Sony Dialer?
If the dialer app is a system app then it might not be removable. However its also possible that theres a setting somewhere.
An option is installling a Custom Rom with its own dialer app.
