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!

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.

Use at your own risk. I'm not a developer and won't be responsible for any damage you might experience using procedures described bellow. I’ve just adapted the method; all credit goes to Nexus 5 developer hello00.
I always believed that the power consumption is one of the most important issues regarding mobile phones. If you live dynamically you simply don’t have everywhere opportunity to charge your phone. And then you find it empty when you need it most. Not to mention that considering possibility not going through the full day with a single charge is unacceptable for me.
One of the most amazing features of the AMOLED screens is zero consumption with totally black color. And then came KitKat which put everything on shiny white color. It could be nice (in matters of taste, there can be no disputes), but besides it drains the battery you are not always in the mood to get a beam of bright light into your eyes.
So I made a little research in the direction to turn my screen back to black without fatal intervention to the stock ROM. I’m rooted, have bloatware removed, on art and so far I managed to made the following alternations:
I replaced the boot logo with attached one and removed the bootanimation. For replacing the boot logo I used Moto x toolkit, the bootanimation I simply delete from data/local/moodle (it is possible to replace it with the custom one as well).
I also replaced the Moto’s SMS and dialer with those from Google Nexus (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2519733). Now I have fully functional Google dialer and both apps in black. Short manual if someone is interested (you must be rooted and have one of root managers installed - e.g. root explorer):
1. SMS. Do not delete stock app. Rename it adding .bak or move it to sd or to the computer just in case you want it back.
Take any of the SMS zip files according to your choice from the site above. Extract it and find Mms_Signed in the system/priv-app. Copy Mms_Signed.apk to the Phone – SD. In Root explorer (or equal manager) change rights to rw and copy Mms_Signed.apk to the system/priv-app. Change permissions to rw-r-r. Reboot and find the new SMS app in the application drawer. That’s it.
2. GOOGLE DIALER. Do not delete, remove or freeze anything!!! Copy desired zip from above site to the computer and unzip it. Find both files GoogleDialer.apk and GoogleDialer.odex (if you’re not deodexed) in the system/priv-app and copy them to SD. In Root explorer (or equal manager) change rights to rw and copy both files to the system/priv-app. Change permissions for both to rw-r-r. Reboot. In your launcher (if supports, I use Holo HD, otherwise get Anycut or similar app) open activities, find first Phone activity and start it. You should have the Google Dialer of your choice activated.
I’m attaching screenshots and applications I use.
Thanks the inverted dialer looks awesome.

Would you make a version of this compatible with the standard Dialer? You realize the MotoX doesn't have the Google Dialer. I liked this one:

Sorry, unfortunatelly I'm not a developer, but I'm sure that someone can make it leaning on Nexus variants. But then, why won't you give the GN dialer a shot? It's virtually Moto x dialer + goodies. Like searching business directly in dialer or finding information about people who you calling due to the data from any website or social app?
Thanks for this. I followed your directions after reboot I opened anycut and there is no phone activity. I had the plain bright white Google dialer working on my X just fine. After replacing and changing permission and reboot it doesn't acknowledge these. I put the old Google dialer back and rebooted and it's back like it was. Not sure how to get these great looking inverted Google dialers to work.

Hi,
did you find the Google Dialer in activities? If you did and chose it, the dropdown menu should appeared and the first activity which has Phone in the name should be selected. If you didn't find that, the Google Dialer wasn't activated properly. After installation and reboot, did you see the notice that 1 application has been upgraded or something like that?

I didn't see that notification that an app was updating which I thought odd because I've inverted a lot of my apps and always got that after reboot. Just to be sure, I remove the old dialer and odex, replace with the inverted ones, fix permission, reboot, etc. Do I leave them named googledialer? I had an issue when I put the regular white google dialer on where it needed to be renamed to just "dialer". I tried it both ways though. I'm hoping I just missed something

Keeping the name Google dialer is OK. But tell me, when you say that pushing the black dialer doesn't cause any app update and you can't activate it, what about the ordinary white Google dialer? How did you manage to install and enable it? Did you get it in the Application drawer or had to find it in activities?

With the other Google dialer I swapped out the dialer apk and renamed it dialer rebooted and it was there. The file I used didn't have an odex file just an apk. I'm wondering since I replaced the dialer with the Google one of trying to install a different one is causing a conflict. Though, even after I remove the old Google dialer it still doesn't give the apps upgrading message. I.. ugh don't know what I did with the stock dialer apk. I put it somewhere but can't find it. Wondering if I put out back how it was it shouldn't cause a conflict. Not having an unlocked BL shouldn't be an issue I don't think. Thanks for your help.
Okay, I figured it out. Since I installed the generic Google dialer before the inverted one together they're causing conflicts obviously. Alone this apk and odex won't work. Got it to work freezing the white dialer but had no way to end calls. Basically I need the moto x's stock dialer.apk . I have no idea where I put it when I switched. Searched all over. If anyone has it you'd make my day.
UPDATE. Got the stock dialer back now and have the inverted Google dialer calling. Force closes after a call is placed. Going to clear data and see if that fixes it. This has become an obsession... I've played around so much that now I have to figure out how to make it work like others have.

You likely generated a conflict between two Google dialer apps. If I were you, I'd clean up everything and start form the beggining. Firstly I'd get the original dialer into function, install it, set permission, clean data and cache and reboot. Then, when I have original dialer totally working, I'd push solely the black apk and odex to the system, set permissions and reboot. That should do the job.

Thanks for the advice. I put the stock dialer back. It's one from the att ROM I download and pulled out. Set permissions, cleared data, reboot. It updates on reboot though no icon is shown. I add it on my desktop with activity and launch it. Opens fine, alas when I dial a number it goes off on a fc death cycle, the only way to end the call it's through my status bar. I think that when I put the white Google dialer in I must of done something. It works fine when I put it back. The white google dialer was just an apk, no other files were included in the download and it functions as a stand alone dialer starting and ending calls all as one. I had to rename it dialer to make it work. Something in that changed it. Oh well, can't restore backups with my locked bootloader so I don't want to fiddle too much with it. I have the white Google dialer apk that functions all as one of you want to see it. Thanks again for the help.
UPDATE: I got it working! There was something wrong with the stock dialer apk I found. I dug around on my computer and found my old one. Switched some stuff out, changed 644, then yad yad..it works great. Thanks so much for the help. Oh, does the caller ID work for you?
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?

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.
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.

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!

I have the same issue. I had to delete the theme. I also noticed that even though I was running Google launcher the Samsung theme was still part of the launcher. Home page was Google launcher but settings and calendar still had the theme. I went back to default theme TouchWiz and my Google launcher home screen stays the same but the settings menu changed and the calendar. So I guess you can run the themes with a different launcher installed it all seems half thought out. It really screwed my phone up until I did a reboot.
