If anyone uses custom dialers and don't know this one, be sure to check it out. It's the best in my opinion! With new update it is fast like HTC dialer and has T9 support.

Hi All
Been a regular reader but just joined now.
Anyway I've been trying a few custom ROMs out on my rooted HTC Hero (GSM)... many have some very good things, but many of the 2.2 ones don't have some of the features or apps I loved from 2.1, especially some of the HTC sense, or some of the apps.
So, I was wondering if anyone can recommend a custom ROM that can do/has the following:
- Based on Froyo 2.2 (want to try out the supposed performance improvements, new UI, later version of flash, etc)
- Needs the Apps2SD functionality (I believe all 2.2 based Roms have it)
- I really like the HTC flip clock/weather widget, with the animated weather as in 2.1..but haven't seen it in 2.2. Is it not available anymore? Anyway it could manually still be added?
- The 2.1 weather app.. where you can add multiple locations. 2.2 only seems to have weather/news which I dont like as much.... the option to see weather in different locations just by scrolling down was great. No other options in the market seem to do this as well, either
- In fact - most of the original HTC widgets available of on the Hero I would still like
- The 'Stocks' app found in earlier versions is missing in 2.2. I really like this app, as it's the only one I have ever found that you can add many quotes, and will work well with non-US countries (like Australia/NZ sharemarkets for example). But, it's not in found in the market and doesn't seem to be featured in 2.2?
- I also liked the way that when looking at 'people', it would summarise 'events' like birthdays and give me a taskbar notification. The 2.2 Roms I have tried so far, don't seem to have this same function anywhere..is it still available?
- I also liked the previous 'my contact card' where I could store my own details. I cant see this in 2.2 either is nit now gone? Would still love that.
Anyway, maybe I'm asking too much, but is there any custom ROM anyone can recommend, that is based on 2.2 but still has those 'good' bits from 2.1 or earlier?
Or, is there anyway I can add them myself??
I have checked out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=889299
and others, but so far haven't found anything that quite has the above...
For the Flip Clock, you can search for Fancy Widget. In the current version, the autohor redesigned ist, but with you can find the older version here on the forum -and it looked exactly like the Sense flip clock! (what also explains, why that version was removed from the market by htc) As a bonus, I find it less laggy than the original one -therefore, it replaced HTC's flip clock on my homescreen
For the rest, I think, you need a ROM with Sense, as Sense Widget don't work on non-sense Roms...
I use fancy widget as well, glad I saved the .apk file
as for the sense like widgets you are better of doing a market search you might find some similiar to them.
or just go install the custom sense froyo roms although the camera or some hardware aint working on them
Thanks, I found the older fancy widget apk so I will give that a try.
I guess I'm asking too much for a custom ROM based on 2.2, with all the HTC Sense stuff still working... will have to comprise somewhere.
I really wanna give 2.2 a decent try but a lot of the stuff I liked from 2.1 isn't there anymore in the ROM's I've seen.
Anyway thanks for the replies!

the fact is mate you want HTC Sense on 2.2 (or sounds like that), which isn't a 100% stable port on the Hero (GSM) so you can have 2.2 working perfectly and use 3rd party apps like everyone else to get the same effect, or you can use a buggy 2.2 port of HTC sense, and live with it until someone makes a good port.
Yeah I wasn't too sure what ROM's were available and what they all could or could not do, hence asking for recommendations.
Anyway I'm trying out a number of differnet ones until I find the best one for me.
Think you're right though, 2.2 with Sense isn't really available/stable yet so I think a non-sense 2.2 with addons is the way to go at this stage.
Cheers
Hi,
I trye different ROM and i think a non-sense 2.2 whith an other launcher (like LauncherPro) is better than Sense...
The ROM TastyFroyo is the faster ROM but the screen resolution is not compatible with BeautifulWidget. (2.2 non-sense)
And the FroyedVillain is awesome too and full stable! (2.2 non-sense)
The ChocolateFroyo is a 2.2 with sense but i dut test it...
You have the rom in 2.3 too!!!
Elinux ROM and TastyGinger are great but still in beta...
after installation of Swiftdroid 2.0 4M, the dialer application does not have T9 support so the calling is bit harder, i tried to install glass dialer i found here, installed it with recovery (the newest clockwork that came with the installation), it says its successful but when i restart i have the old dialer. Is this glass dialer not compatible with swiftdroid or there is problem with the clockwork? or any suggestion for good T9 dialer?
if you want a new dialer app download go contacts its a great app
Id like to have the dialer that was in Gt540 2.1 version if anyone could share it here ill be grateful, or if someone can tell me how to install the glass dialer, coz more of those custom applications are ether too colorful or slow, or just add t9 support to the one that is integrated in cm7 swiftdroid 2.0
I do too like 2.1 dialer and contacts search box, im testing quite of few , also i found a tutorial that explains how to modify themes and apps. I'll come up with something usefull i feel like working on that today.

Hi all,
I want to know is there have a chance to port HTC t9/k9 dialer search option into SGSII dialer.
HTC dialer have great search like when u search Mr Mike Scofield.
u need tap only 676459 and it will show Mr Mike Scofield.
In SGSII dialer, it wont show Mr Mike if u type 676459. because the contact(Mr Mike) have a space.
Sorry for my bad English.
You could try this app, I used it when I had my HTC Desire and ditched sense for a stock Gingerbread ROM. I found it to work pretty well:
https://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne&feature=search_result
I cant access to market. can u tell me the exact name of that app?
*Solved : It's Dialer one. UI is so bad and alittle laggy.
Dialer One is smart multilingual T9 like dialer application

but without a keyboard. just a dialer? as in 2.2 or 2.3. How it is implemented in dialertabactivity.apk
T9 Dialers supporting other character sets
Try to search for "t9 dialer russian" in the android market and get another one. The stock dialers don't support what you are looking for.
I have not tried this one, but the description and pictures look promising: EIR Fast Dialer

Good look for. But in CM7 and in MIUI embedded dialer search for other languages. So in CM9 possible.
For MIUI, see http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showt...-GR-PL-SW-DE-HU-KO-VI-CZ-SK-SL-TR-HE-AR-PE-UK)
My point was along the same lines: Other teams (like MIUI) have chosen to replace the stock dialer with something else. It is quite possible that you do the same simply by downloading another dialer (or keyboard or launcher or ...) from the market. Choice is good and you can make it. Don't have to wait for it to show up in the ROM.

It is a themed version of the ICS mms app. I like the blacks and blues much better. I haven't pm'd the creator of it. Just wondering if anyone would be able to do it.
Use go sms pro and the ICS Theme... looks nearly identical. no porting required.
I recommend Go Launcher EX too.
It also has ICS theme.
