Howdy,
Just moved to OnePlus, excited to set up the phone.
What dialer / contact manager app do most of you use? The default?
On my previous phone I had Simpler installed, but not sure I'm in love with it. Wouldn't mind an app that lets me back up contacts without sharing all the data with Google.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

I used to Google dialer and contacts.
But I switched to OOS dialer. With oos dialer, you get the custom vibration for ringtones and can call record.
I use Smart Notify for dialer, sms and notifications management. This cooperate with google contacts (or some other of your choice) and with phone app oop-stock (with call recording). This is super combination..

Ha, thank you for encouraging me to look at the stock app again.
At first I thought there was no "dark theme" in the Oxygen OS dialer, but when I turned the entire phone's dark in settings, the dialer went dark too.
I think I'll try that for a while, as well as other suggestions on the thread.
I use True Caller to avoid spam/scam calls. I'm very content with how it works

Check the market for it. It's all kinds of awesome. Ignore the fact that the market description is in Chinese, it's very cool.
Been using Youlou since upgrading to 2.1 a few weeks ago. I must say it's a really slick address book.
this is way faster then stock froyo address book ...just missing option to create shortcut for direct dialer
looks good. i think i will try this one
How can I use this app as default dialer? I need it because I want to see the counter for missed calls?
I love this app too. The widget shows missed calls BTW the widget is awesome.

It's frustrating, this app.
It's rad, the UI looks awesome. It pretends to be so functional... But it's so far from it.
No * or # key, really? I get that it's chinese, but come on. How many users have to request it in the comments before you just add the damn things?
I don't want to have to add a widget to homescreen. There isn't room for it. Make the app fully functional without it (aka show missed calls).
Doesn't sync with facebook.
Doesn't thread together contacts (like say if you had a regular phone and a google voice phone already in your contacts... in the default I can just thread the two together, in Youlu I have to delete one and then add the other to the contact manually)
Pictures are sometimes there for my favs, sometimes not. I even re add a picture or change the picture. It sometimes takes the app opening closing like 5 times before it appears, and then it can leave just as easily.
After all that I'm still struggling to remove it from my phone, but being realistic, this thing isn't a dialer. It's just not. It's a cool UI that pretends to be one, while missing a half a dozen key components.
Sometimes I wonder if the stock dialer was something that was actually ****ty, and then the current stock dialer came out with a hip name and was third party, how crazy would people go for that? It has everything.

I have no choice but to completely agree irish22022 it's a very nice looking UI and I enjoyed it quite a lot until I was trying to get in touch with customer service (*611) or check the balance on my phone (#BAL) it's extremely frustrating to be missing these two key digits, almost a showstopper however I keep using it hoping they will eventually add what we need. As far as for only allowing one account that doesn't bother me so much because I have all of my contacts backed up to one Google account which only made sense to me, so that doesn't bother me so much. However the * and # issue really needs to be corrected.
has the inter-grated sms thing still there, i can t get rid of it!

you can open the sms client in the app drawer that appears after installation, go to settings, and disable everything.
It's still ridiculous that they install that on your computer along with the address book. Should definitely be a seperate app.
Just update is now acceptinf # &*
It has been the fastest smart dialer for me-even faster than dialer one. I would still like it if you could search within the call log and/or the contact list as well.

Unfortunately the last version also installs a default SMS app which is worse than Handcent....

Agreed. I don't like the fact it installs an SMS client, as I already have and prefer Handcent. At least you can disable it.

are you at least in the sms client? it looks nothing like the phone book. If it's not in your app drawer, open up the dialer, go to contacts, click on a contact, and click the envelope rather then the dialer (if you don't see the envelope, then go to settings and look for the option to include a text shortcut for your contacts). This defaults to youlu's sms client. From there, hit the menu button, click settings and disable notifications.
You can't uninstall the sms app, but you can silence it so you don't know it's there. And you also can't change the default sms app within youlu phone book, it will always open up their sms app.

I recently installed the newest paranoid android ROM and im loving it. It uses the stock google messaging app and there isnt an option to enable recurring notifications of a missed text, call or MMS.
im looking for a way to do this. Ive already tried a few things.
1. handcent - i dont like the app.
2. GO SMS - i dont like the app.
pop up notifier was suggested, but im looking for a different route before falling back on that.
any help? thanks in advance.

You should give NoLed a try.
It was initially thought for phones without notification LED, but has also the features you want.

hi, samsung g935f dialer how to Change miui dialer ?
Install an alternate dialer from Google Play Store that is similar to MIUI one. There's no easy way to replace the embeded dialer as it's tied to other parts of the ROM (call ui, system ui, framework res, and so on)

call screen, does not change ?
Call screen is usually separate from dialer. In some ROMs they are even different apks.
If you install a different dialer, usually just the contacts/dialer is changed, the call screen (incall ui) remains the stock one. In order to have that changed, you need to be rooted and have several other things replaced. Also a different incall ui has to be generated at ROM build time as it is depending on system ui and framework res. You can't just replace files from another ROM.

is there any other dialer mod according to S7 edge ? my telephone is rooted.

Everytime I make a call, there is a notification (unread call) in call history (the middle tab). Do you have that too?

Nope, only for missed calls. Try to set all the permissions for the app and set it for default dialer if you haven't done this already.

That is strange. All permissions are set and Phone app is on default. Still when making a phonecall I get an unread count in call history. Running stock 6.0.1 + root
On 5.1.7 with Google dialer but cannot selected managed favorites in DnD menu? Was working under 5.1.5 which is the last time I checked?
Anybody else
I don't understand. Are you saying that you can't manage your favorites contacts in DnD menu, or that you can't make DnD ring for your favorites contacts ?
In first case, I didn't seen such an option in 5.1.5/6/7
Second case : it's working ont 5.1.7, without any issue here.

Can't manage them in DnD, used to be able to on earlier version. Can of course add/remove in contacts but menu is meant to allow it
Oh. OK. I'm on 5.1.7, and I've this Manage favourite contacts menu working without issue.
In french, but the menu is here. And give me the possibility to remove a favourite, or add another.

Do you have the standard dialer or Google Dialer? That's the only thing I can think may be interfering with it

Now you ask me, I though that the standard (stock from OOS) was the google one.
I'm with the stock OOS one.

Removed Google Dialer and reinstalled OOS one and manage favs in DnD is working, go figure
Why has OPO dumped their own OOS caller for Google phones app?
Google Dialer is superior. Probably the reason.

Is it? It probably phones home quite a lot though.
True phone dialer is the absolute best I've ever used. Granted I miss the call screening from my old pixel but that's the only reason I'd keep a Google dialer

The contacts app, totally sucks. It's the most unreadable app out there. The sms app, looks too stuffed for a simple sms app. Avoid. And yes, the probablity of them to phone home is high.
