is there a dialer modification out there which can look for contacts by typing the numbers on the dialpad?
i had this feature in all my last wm phones. on the streak i always have to go for contacts and search for a contact.
hope you know what i mean..
for example i want to get a phonecall to "DAVID" i will choose the numbers 328 and so on and it gets a filtered list with the contact that match the numbers...
thanks for all replies...
Dialer One will do it
gesture search, free from google will do it.
Thanks... Dialer one solves it. But is there way to set it as standard dialer when i hit the phone button on the lower screen in froyo? Dialer one has only a setting for a shortcut on the status bar.
If your using Steve's froyo and adw you can just add the dialer one shortcut to your homescreen then drag and drop it on the default phone icon next to the tray button

I lost my green Phone icon in ADW.
It used to take me to my main dial screen from which I could select contacts etc. Since, it isn't an app, I cannot just drag it out off my app drawer. Also none of the custom actions seem to match so far.
I could still use "contacts" directly, but I like the way that dialer worked best.
I want to it back, preferably without wiping or reinstalling ADW. Any suggestions?

Simply drag "Phone" from app drawer to home screen and then to launch bar.
(Flabbergasted as to how I didn't see this. I did look for precisely this initially)
Looking to add 4-6 direct dial or direct sms icons to one slot on the notification drop down menu.
The key is that it uses the contacts picture or a graphic of choosing..
It should be able to just dial or open sms from the menu... not open a widget.
Is this an app?
I currently use power controls. Have used dg quickset...
Anyone know?

I haven't installed it, so don't have person experience. And it looks like you can only put one shortcut in each row, but I could be wrong.
thanks.. I have tried that app, but I am looking for mulitple contacts on one notification line
I'm running stock GB update with no moods, unrooted. It seems as though ADW is having some glitches with my quick contacts. I have 8 of them set up on a homescreen in their smallest form 1x1. Sometimes when I run an app or the phone goes to sleep, when I look at the screen again the contacts icons are slightly enlarged with a grey bar along the bottom with two dark grey thumbnail like buttons. When I press the contact, instead of quick dialing like I have them set for, it brings up the copntact menu for text, email, or call. Anyone having this issue or know what the cause may be? Any help appreciated.

I'm pretty sure this is the wrong section since this is an app, not atrix specific
I like how in the stock dialer, when you select a contact, you swipe left to SMS or swipe right to call, quite slick. However, this doesnt seem to work for the favorites (as long as I use grid view i/o list view). When I tap on a favorite, it brings up the contact profile (w/ all the phone numbers, email addresses etc) instead of dialing by default; very inconvenient, esp when you're in a rush to call from the street. Am I missing a setting?
I've tried using exDialer instead; almost perfect except it doesn't clear missed call notifications (you still need to open the stock dialer to clear that) and doesn't show your call log as clearly (just one entry/contact, instead of showing all recent inbound/outbound/missed calls as distinct records). Is there any way around both of these issues?
On my Z1 homescreen I have a couple of direct dial shortcuts and the icons are taken from the contact photo.
I have tried to set these up on my Z2 but I'm just getting default avatar icons.
Anyone know how to get contact photos associated with these shortcuts?
I must have known once but can't seem to work it out now...............ah, .the joys of old age.
(If I add a contact to the homescreen that brings the icon with it but then when you press the desktop icon you get contact details displayed, ie its not a one-touch to dial someone)
Hello,
Did you find the solution? I was hitting the same issue.
Thanks,
