Replace Dialer App - Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] Can I link stock app icon for a third party app

Stock email app does not work for my work email, so I am using another third party email app. problem is the icon does not fit into my theme. The stock email app icon does. I could replace the icon in the app drawable but when I change theme it does not change with the theme.
So my question is, in the maifest file is there a way to point "android:icon" to some thing like "android.email.icon" instead of default @drawable/icon.png. I would appreciate any other suggestions if it is not possible.
You could decompile the app, and swap the icon.png file.
There is a good chance it will work.
Thanks for your reply. Your solution works for the current theme. But when I change the theme it still have the same icon. I want default email' s icon to splurge automatically to my app.

ExDialer defaut app

Helo
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.

How to change default dialer app.

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?
SM-N915G
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.

disable app badge notifications on non-Samsung devices using stock Android ROM

I was looking for help disabling the app badge notifications for non-Samsung devices. All the searching I have done seems to point at changing launchers. I would like to figure out how to modify the stock rom. What I have tried so far is using ROM Toolbox Pro to disable the 'NotificationBroadcastReceiver' in the 'Advanced Freeze' section on an app that has the app badge notification. The app badge notification went away for a few minutes and then came back. Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated!
NOTE: I was thinking I might have to edit some .smali files of the app in question. If so, I use APK Editor Pro to disassemble APK files right from my device.
What do you mean by 'app badge notifications'? Notifications in system bar, or, for example, the number of unread messages for some messenger app that appears on the desktop?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The red bubble with the number that shows up on some app icons like Facebook, Messages, and even on folders if you have folders set up.
Hm, then I don't know either, my only option would be to change launcher as well.
I'm hoping there is a way to disable them by editing the smali code. I am learning smali now, seems similar to visual basic

Dual-SIM Dialer and Messaging

Hi all. I just added a second number to my phone (Galaxy S21). This is my first experience with dual sims.
What dialers and texting apps would you recommend for use with two numbers on the same phone?
What I really want is to have two separate apps (or two instances/variants of the same app?) handle the separate numbers. So: have two phone icons on my home screen and two messaging icons on my home screen. One phone icon opens a dialer dedicated to one number. Ditto for text messaging. I can imagine an app that can make this possible by using widgets instead of direct app icons, but I'm not sure that such an app exists.
Appreciate your thoughts.
