Finally! Someone made a great dialer app where you can make the phone keys huge. No more fiddling around with dialer one to search for a contact when in the car!
Check out angeldialer... it is super fast and free.. and you can make the buttons huge

Been using this for a while after discovering that the stock dialer did not search contacts using the keys as letters - a la HTC.
Not the best looking dialer but very practical.
Ray Dialer is working well on my Streak. Big buttons, T9, contact photos, fast.
Ray dialer FTW
thanks!

Rocket Dialer is good.
Go contact is best

Is there a way to completely disable the stock dialer with any of these? I used one a few weeks ago, and when I hung up the phone call, it was on the stock dialer. If I am forced to still see the stock one, I'll just continue to use it... I hate being on the phone as a phone (hence, i buy one i can text on and use for email and internetting), so it's not a big enough problem to use the stock one.
I know you used to be able to make a different dialer the default, but after 2.1 I'm fairly sure you have to remove the stock one completely if you want to replace it. Don't know how to do that though, will have to look around.
I am interested in this too. I installed some custom dialers and some of them are very nice, but I don't like going back to stock dialer after finishing call...
I guess, you can remove stock dialer with Titanium backup (requires root), but I am not sure if you can do that. I guess, you should not remove it.
Don't uninstall phone.apk. I tried that. Had to restore my phone. It's not a funny, haha problem that you can just restore in titanium from a backup. It cripples your phone.

Are there any replacements for phone.apk? I am assuming this is the phone itself, which occasionally crashes on me. Fortunately while hanging up the call most of the time, but still...
i think phone.apk is built only for ur phone, it handles the antenna and such
I love that app. Thanks krad!

Not Call Log
I tried No Call Log and it didn't work.
It still goes back to the hideous default Streak dialer.

Free version only works for incoming calls. Did you run the app and check the settings? I have mine set to go to the home screen after both incoming and outgoing calls and it works. I have tried other options such as last activity.
Yes, that was it. I used the free version.
I found this:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosix.callend&feature=related_apps
Combining On Call End and Ray Dialer has made me happy.
donalgodon,
Thanks for sharing the free alternative. The return to the phone app after a call is an Android behavior that should be user selectable.
Thanks for the free app suggestion. It works great have mine setup to go back to home page.

Hi
I find that dialling from s2 lacks following
1. In keypad, it sorts either first name or last name, not both. Very disappointing.
2. When we click contacts from home menu, it does not give option of default num key pad. Only default key board comes when we hit search bar.
Any option, suggestion on this. I find dialling too slow.

Well thats the way it works. Do you know one thing, say you have to call John, you just have to dial 5646. I like this feature so much.

If you want to dial someone, open the dialer, not the contacts.
Sort by both names?? Do tell..
Why do you need the numberpad to open from contacts??
Open contacts, swipe contact, you're calling. What's "too slow" about that?
When we open dialer, and say I search a person with last name, his or her name will not pop.
When in contact, for searching, we need to pop up the keyboard. A dialer pad auto pop would have made it fast.
I know it cannot work like qwerty, but in my earlier dial pad of htc, sorting of both names was there.
My earlier e72 too lacked this, but, in a firmware update it was fixed.
Else I have to remember and change many first name.
My query make sence. When we dial, it should be quick to reach to no.

So you want to be able to search both names, not sort them.
It doesn't do containing text searches - it only searches for names that begin with what you type. Just bare that in mind and you can't go wrong. It is fast and easy - it's just different from what you've used before so you have to learn how to use it correctly.
I'm gonna borrow this thread a bit actually. I'm using dialer one since it has all the options I need, but right now I need to get a hold of the stock dialer for entering a USSD code (for disabling fast dormancy).
I've tried entering it in dialer one, but it just said "connection error or invalid MMI-code". I reckon this is since I'm trying to enter it from a third party app. So, trying to find the stock samsung dialer I go. I've checked both phone app and contacts app but cannot for the poop in me find the dialer pad. (You know the 0-9 + * and # keyboard). All I find are call logs, contacts and groups. But nothing about a dialer. I know I saw it somewhere when I first got this phone, but now I can't find it.
Any help?

Have you tried scrolling the tabs at the top of the screen? The dialer is on the far left.
Haha, thank you. I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. And of course it now worked like a charm. Have a good one.
Still not able to find a perfect dialler
Curious to see which one other SGS2 users use...
Get GO Contact. It comes with a dialer and both apps are really good. One thing I'm VERY happy to finally have is a dialer that searches within names whilst I dial a number, not just the beginning of the name.
Alternatively, get an AOSP ROM so you're using the stock Android dialer. It's simple, but still better than the Samsung one.
I use and recommend rocketdial. It had a good t9 engine for smart dials.
Regards.

For me the smart dial feature on the stock dialer was not satisfying (only one predefined number per contact to call). On GO Contact its way better solved than on stock
Stock dialer is a joke. Try to dial by typing numbers to get last name.

I just love the stock dialer sliding. That's the main reason I switched back to a Touchwiz based ROM from a CM7 Nightly.
Also I love the stock Calendar, Clock, Task Manger on long HomeKey press.
Hmmm..will never like the stock dialler if one has tired sense dialler I guess....
The only thing I still misses from sense...
Thanks for your valuable suggestions, but go dialler is driving me nuts..it never searches on my linked contacts properly...say I have linked my bros FB profile with google contacts...go dialler always searches with the facebook name...in google contacts the name is "bro" and I have set the defaults in contacts also..but go dialler does not give results if I type bro...
Hope I am clear here..stock dialler and dialler one searches properly..so far dialer one is the best for me...but appearance sucks and just feels out of place when ever I open it.
Any trick to solve my problem with go dialler? Pls advice

Guys I've also migrated from sense to the SGSII and I highly recommend trying out Dialer One (it's free) - check out the options when setting it up. It can also T9 search by name, number (and other info) and also in the call log...
Touchpal is by far the best dialers i have used.
Youlu is also nice one.
The Dialer always FC now.
actually dialer FC with showing COntracts stopped working, but actually the contacts is workign fine. the real problem is with dialer only. looks like it has problem in reading the call log and also with T9 contacts.
urgently need a solution for this otherwise we canot continue using this rom.

I am having the exact same problem and would like a fix without reindralling rom. I have tried clearing dsta for all relating to dialer, phone and contacts, but no help. As soon as i hit phone, dialer crashes and after 10 seconds it says that contacts has stopped working.
Also when first installed the android keyboard crashed all the time and had to switch to smart keyboard.
I m having the same problem too. I thk when the call log has reached a certain amount of storage. The dialer will start crashing. I've experienced twice. The first time I juz try to ti- backup and flash the rom again. But juz now I face the same problem again, don't wanna flash the rom everything to fix it. Any solution to it?? Thx. I've tried to wipe all cache and even clear data of the application contacts, however is useless...
Hope there will be some fix for it as I really prefer 1.1 instead of 1.2 onwards...
Thx for answering!!!
Have you tried upgrading to v1.4? when i installed, triple wipe i did the main rom, then gapps, rebooted recovery, installed siyahkernel and it all works for me

It's known problem with RR 1.1 & T9 dialer - if you used the search tool you would know (I had the same exact problem)... Anyway, the problem occurs when you reject a call, once it's F-ed there's no going back (tried reinstalling the apk, TB-it - NOTHING). If you dont want to reflash you can use exDialer from the market, that's what I did then OR upgrade to 1.4, you wont regret - hope this helped (Excuse my bad english)

I've tried 1.3 before but there are several things that i don't like, such as the toggles style of notification bar, the fm radio is removed, camera can't save pics in sd card, can't chg the font style, etc. Thaz why i prefer to stay at 1.1 ...

Glad I helped . Anyway you can use the other "afterbootxxxxxxx.zip" file without T9, that way you can be rude and rejecting calls without FC's afterwards but you'll lose T9 func.
Oh juz saw someone posted in gs2root.com, say when having the contacts fc, can solved by clearing data of "contacts storage", only drawback is lost all the call logs ... but I m not sure is it refering same issue ... wanna know does it work?? (I haven't tried it yet)
Ok, so, I was having the same problem. I tried opening the dialer app information (holding the app icon) and then i cleared the data, it's working perfectly, no drawbacks that I could notice

T9 ? I believe that feature was abandoned years ago in most phones... there's no T9 on Z2
1995 called, they want their technology back.
Yeah lets cry about every little thing now..
Abandoned years ago? lol, not even close. Actually T9 with predictive lookup is still the fastest way (least clicks) to get to a number that isn't on speed dial if you know what you're doing. Fast and easy doesn't go out of style and obviously most people and the OEMs agree since I haven't had a phone that doesn't do T9 yet and I get a new flagship phone every time one comes along that I like better than the one I already have. I'm curious what phones don't have it because I'm not running into any without it. With that said there are dialers available on the market with a wide range of features that are IMO better than any I've come across OEM mostly due to increased options so I'd look there for the weapon of my choice.
Wait a minute..
I believe T9 is there on my Z2. For instance, I type 326435 to search "daniel" and it works.
Is that what you're looking for?
I can confirm that T9 works with the dialer.
That is strange. Cause it doesn't work on mine
Works on my z2 too. Maybe clear data for your contacts app?

Hi,
I just got my Z2 from Starhub. I am trying to dial my contacts by matching against names, but it can only match against numbers only too.
Did you manage to find a solution around this?

Just because a feature doesn't work for you, means that it sucks. Tried the Daniel thing that was earlier posted and it works fine. Try it in safe mode?

The fact of the matter is that the "daniel" thing didn't work for me, and accordingly to one other person in Singapore too. Maybe the Z2 sold in Singapore is different? The fact is that if I type "326435" it shows no contacts found in the stock dialer but in the 3rd party dialer it shows up Daniel. I have tried alot of things including deleting the dialer data, deleting and recreating all my contacts etc. But none works. This is a very basic feature of a dialer as I do not believe anybody will whip out a dialer and search for his contacts using the contact number. Hence by not being able to perform such a basic feature, it sucks! Sorry for being blunt.
To add on, I have taken a few screenshots to demonstrate what the phone is showing, vs what the 3rd party dialer is showing (DialApp). If somebody can post screenshots to show that their Z2 stock dialer can really show "Daniel" when they type "326435", I would be really surprised that this feature works differently.
1. First screenshot shows the stock dialer highlighting only the numbers which match 326 as I type.
2. 2nd screenshot shows that no contacts were found after typing 326435
3. 3rd screenshot shows that Daniel was highlighted when I typed 326435 using the 3rd party dialer
Working perfectly...i can find my contacts name dialing their corresponding letters,,,not a single problem
Try force stopping/disabling then reenabling it?

My Z2 is D6503 and it Daniel comes out fine. Daniel seems like such a common name.
I noticed from your 2nd screen shot, there's a space after 4 digits and then followed with the other 2 ie 3264 35 Could that be the reason.
When I type 6 numbers, they are grouped as one and not split into 2 like in your picture.
Does other more than 4 numbers also get split?
