Dialer, that rules 'em all

Hey.
So I've been looking or a dialer that basically supports all the features that Sense's one does:
- searching by name/surname/phone number
- displaying photo/facebook photo/gmail photo not just photo as most of available dialers do.
- scope through contacts
The one that almost supports all of them is TouchPal, but it seems that it does not show contact avatar from linked facebook account :?
Do you have any alternative?

I like GoContacts

Try Youlu Address Book..
Very nice dialer application...available free on Market

I tried them all, and none of them are perfect. They always miss one key aspect that Sense dialer handles very well and it's the only app I'm missing to switch to CM7. They either:
1) are terribly slow with T9 search through contacts or going through log or don't have scrolling handles to quickly scroll to certain letters
2) cannot search phone numbers
3) cannot search with accented characters and spaces
4) cannot search in the middle of the names
5) duplicating the output, if contacts have more phone numbers

Try GoContacts, as Fizzler73 suggested. Works very nicely for me since the post
Can search with accented character and spaces, middle names too and phones too
btw. I prefer to have duplicated contact when multiple numbers are present - that way I can tap on number I want to dial and I'm ready to talk. No additional selecting needed.

TouchPal actually supports facebook profile pictures, Since Android 2.2 the option to make data become private was added and facebook in it's never ending quest to annoy it's users marked ALL of it's data as private, so only stock apps ran by user 0 can access it...
this however is easily fixable all you have to do is modify the contacts table to not restrict fb contacts, here's the post with instructions.

Try Angel Dialer/Fast Dialer/Dialer One
i currently use Angel Dialer, but i have been using Fast Dialer for some time. its fast and works perfectly on CM7 Nexus One

A capable dialer / contacts app needed!! Please help!

Hello,
I am desperately looking for a dialer / contacts app, which has the following features:
- Display the Names of contacts, TOGETHER with their phone numbers.
- Provide a detailed call summary (time of outgoing calls / incoming calls, all calls, SMS counter!)
- Has the ability to allow calls and SMS messages ONLY for certain contacts, so that only a few people can disturb me while I'm sleeping.
I don't care if this will be a paid or a free app.
I'm new to Android, my previous phone had WM 6.1 and I'm really DESPERATE how poor the contacts and dialer of Android are!!! I don't need a 4.3" screen to see the names of my contacts as HUGE banners, but to see as much info as possible on the screen (like the phone numbers of my contacts!!) Nokia had this in 1998 !!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot for all your replies and I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong thread.

i don't know if this will do all that your asking but ex dialer is really good, my friend likes go dialer/contacts. i hope this helps.

Hello,
thank you VERY MUCH for your reply!! I'll give your recommendation a try!!
Meanwhile, I have tested several application and Rocket Dialer is the closest one to my expectations.
I'm using just the contacts app. For dialing/keypad, the original app is OK, I found out that it has at
least counters for outgoing and incoming calls, no SMS counter though.
For blocking calls, I've downloaded Call Blocker, which has a whitelist, this is all I needed. I can put
2 numbers on the white list and disable all other incoming calls.
Thanks again!

Hello,
I've checked this ex Dialer and it's really potatic... Again ONLY names of the contacts and no option to change this.
There is also another program - DW Contacts. This is really a high-end app with a lot of options and highly customizable. I didn't find a way to display all the letters on one side of the screen for faster index search, as Rocket Dialer has it.
So, for me, Rocket Dialer is OK.

Try "Dialer One" by Yermek Zhumagulov. It displays "contacts, TOGETHER with their phone numbers", the way you want. You can have different colors for the contact and the phone nos. Seleting two stand-out colors, I found it very easy to read them against the dark background (selectable). Pretty cool and very fast. I'd been trying many dialers and uninstalled all of them after spending half-an-hour with this one.

Thanks a lot! I have looked at the screenshots on google play. It would do, but I prefer Rocket Dialer. It has many amazing options, together with the black list Thanks anyway! Now I'm searching for a task manager to be able to list all running processes and kill them

True Phone from Hamster Beat alternatives needed

True Phone Dialer & Contacts - Apps on Google Play
Powerful T9 phone and contact manager with dual SIM support and call recorder
play.google.com
I have been using True Phone Dialer & Contacts from Hamster Beat for the past 6 years and it has been amazing.
It has some usual features such as customisation of incoming screen and T9 searching however its most important feature for me has been Dual SIM support and masking or contact binding.
I have two carriers in my phone with free unlimited same carrier calling so I have created rules to only call those carrier numbers from their own SIM card which has cut my phone bill by 70% atleast.
Also another amazing feature it directly calling unknown (not saved in my contacts) numbers through WhatsApp from my call history.
Past few months some features such as WhatsApp direct dialing have stopped working, also many of my contacts are missing from the contact list.
After trying to contact the developer past few months (paid customer) I have given up, the developer is based in russia so not sure if he is even in business anymore.
Can the good folks here at XDA please recommend alternatives (especially with DUAL SIM support as mentioned above)?
Thanks in advance
