Hi guys,
I've been searching and looking for a solution to my problem for days but I'm unable to find one. I hope that someone will be able to help me on this forum.
I'm running Wolf's Custom 2.3 rom on my xperia x10. I would like to change the stock dialer/contacts app but I'm not getting the option to set as default my 3rd party app. I tried downloading a different 3rd party app but still I'm not getting the option to set them as default.
There is nothing under the stock dialer set as default so I can't really understand why it's taking over and I'm not getting the option to set my 3rd party app as default.
Is there something I can do manually to override the stock dialer and to set contapps or go contacts as default?
Thanks
Ok so I dont know if this is common knowledge but on the stock launcher and go launcher there seems to be no way to access the " Phone" application . However when I installed Adw EX launcher it magically appeared allowing me to dial there. However when i go into the app drawer there is no sign of a " Phone " app. Is there any way i can get the apk to be accessible in the app drawer ( of any of the launchers )
screenshot of *magically appeared* please..
I didnt think their was a phone anywhere, maybe SIP / Internet calling.
try "any cut" app, select cusom acivity, should show a long list of available acions/intents/apps which can be launched,etc.
what would you with a dialer anyway?
If you want VOIP try GrooveIP, one of the best.
Here are the screenshots of my findings. I used groveip for a good while but now I use Talkatone .. Essentially the same but with more features. When I click call , the call goes through Talkatone but u like the interface of this dialer better
Not sure what model your usimg but its always been there. Just grab it from the app drawer.

probably same as 6200 but obviously only connects through VOIP/SIP.
are you rooted? if so, try browsing to /system/app and find and install phone.apk, (must already be installed, but re-installing might cause it to show up in app drawer)and contacts.apk as well.
Stock Launcher may very well have the .apks hidden...or...maybe you ned to have a VOIP/SIP/internet calling account signed in or enabled in settings first?
I got a new OnePlus One and found out that I can't have the direct dial shortcut to call out automatically. It shows the stock dialer with the number to be dialed instead. This also happens when I use 3rd party dialer like Dialer One, ExDialer etc. All of them, when call is made, will just show the stock dialer with number to be dialed and stay there...
I have searched through the internet and couldn't find the solution for this. Anybody has any idea on how to solve this problem.
I'm using Cyanogen 11S 44R with Go Launcher and Dialer One (i've tried with and without Dialer One and Go Launcher installed still the same problem...)
Thank you very much in advance.
Best thing is u can report the dev....u can change the theme using layers manager if u don't like the stock theme..thats all I can say..

Hello, it seems that new lollipop build b532 keeps changing sms app back to default (huawei contacts) even if the new app (choms sms) is set as default in the default app menu in settings (tha app is additionally set to be 'trusted').
What's going on here??
Each time I leave my phone for a while, my default application is changed to huawei one:-/
Is there any way to set it once for all to 3rd party app?
Have you tried adding it to protected apps? So it doesn't close after you turn off your screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes, didn't help
Hmm... It would be a bit risky, but what would happen if you froze/disable (or even uninstall, but make a backup of the apk) the Huawei messaging app?
unfortunately it's not possible as the app is also dialer and contacts manager (all at once:/)
As above ..
I'm setting up a Huawei P10 Plus for someone and I'm a little rusty on Android. It's running the latest version of their EMUI software, 9.1.0 on Android Version 9.
I'm also using the latest version of Nova Launcher.
What i've done is this ..
Long press home screen.
Select "Widgets"
Scroll down to "Contacts" and select "Quick Message".
Long press on that and drag to home screen.
Choose contact.
When I tap the newly created widget, it always opens up the stock android messaging app regardless of what i've got set as my default SMS app. If I go to Settings->Apps->Default Apps and select "Textra", which is the preferred SMS option of the person i'm setting the phone up for, I get the usual warning but I tap on "Change" anyway.
I've tried installing Chomp and Pulse SMS and setting them as the default app and it still always uses the stock messaging app for the widget.
Am I doing anything wrong ?. Thanks.
Thanks for all the replies, It's taken me this long to get through them all ..
Anyway, I've fixed it. It turns out that the contacts app that I was using was the default Huawei one, so it didn't have the functionality to create the direct messaging widgets.
I installed the default google contacts app from the play store and I can now create the widgets exactly as I need. I'm happy for this thread to be closed now, but thanks again the the huge outpouring of support and suggestions ..
