I am using AOKP Based JB (JellyBAM) since a couple of days.
The standard Contacts editor and Dialer are looking awfully and I am searching for a way to customize them.
I found the app exDialer, which looks much better, supports swipe function to make a call, but during the call I still see the ugly default screen. Also, if I try to edit any of the contacts, it uses the default contact editor, which I think is much uglier than GB.
Anybody that can help me with such mods or themes that might make it look better?
Thanks!
Hi guys,
I've had the streak for a while now and still se as main phone but one thing I still can't get around is the dialler.
I'm still using Stage as I prefer it to others, I like the widgets and the home widget with most used apps but the dialer is poor.
I've downloaded others and set them as default but when I press the phone on home screen it still launches stock.
Any ideas?
AFAIK the dialer is hard-coded with Stage UI. Change the launcher and you can customize the dialer. But you then won't be able to use the Stage UI widgets.
Just changing the question a bit - want to flash a new dialer ( launcher-holo/other )

Ok, Let me extend the question to suit my case here.
I am on DSC 2.2 now, and I wish the dialer was something like Lxdroid 0.2 ROM, or someother dialer which supports T9 & a better call log ( with exact time and call times) than the stock one.
How do I flash only another dialer over the current one?
I am already trying to replace the Battery icon in status bar ( as given in hundertains thread - on replacing stock battery less-informative icon by percentage icon).
Thank you.
Sony.
That's a horse of a different color, since DSC by default doesn't use the Stage UI. You can flash a new dialer over the old, so long as the dialer comes from the same base ROM. For example, you cannot take the modified Olleh/DSC-compatible dialer from Touch of ICS/Traveller ICS and use it on a Cyanogenmod ROM. I tried it and lost phone capability until I restored the Cyanogenmod dialer. LexDroid I believe is based off Cyanogenmod, thus you cannot take it's dialer and move it to DSC and have it work.
A better option is to install one of the dialer replacements from the Play Store.
I swear I have asked this before, but is there a way to use the stock Google dialer on CM? I don't really like the CM one. I am using exdialer right now, but I don't really like it, either.
I'm fairly certain that the "CM" dialer is the stock AOSP dialer. Are you thinking of the stock Samsung dialer (the hideous mess that it is)?

Yep, I think you're right actually. There are some features of the TW contacts app that I like, such as slide left/right to call/text, and T9. I mistook that for the Google dialer.
Are there any dialer replacement for android at all? I'd like to have one that resembles google's dialer , I installed simpler contacts , simple dialer, ex dialer and they all seem to work until I try to make a call, then they "redirect me" to the stock samsung dialer which is not only ugly but it makes me crazy because after I hang up takes like 3 seconds to go back to the homescreen, any ideas?

No exdialer also uses the samsung dialer when you make an actual call :crying:
Probably because Samsung dialer is embedded in seccontacts but as soon call trying to connect it goes to legacyincallui
Samsung have end call screen which lasting for couple of seconds (probably 1.2 to 1.9 seconds depends on condition it gets disconnected. So solution can be by removing that call end layout with modifying layout or reduce end call screen timeout with smali level editing. In both case not easy if you are not Pro with this stuff.

I think that dialer. It looks and works almost like lollipop dialer. Try it!
Edit: KK Phone https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kk.dialer
I use this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simpler.dialer&hl=en
The Dev also has a contacts app with an embedded dialer: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simpler.contacts&hl=en
The Sammy dialing screen is embedded; I'm not sure there's an app that really gets around this. Modding is the better solution but Sammy has so many variants that the development effort on devices is fractured -- I've yet to see a theme that covers all the basic apps (systemUI, dialer, contacts, S Planner, etc) to give them a proper Material Design makeover. If there were just one or two variants of the device, I'm pretty sure we'd have already seen more extensive theming and modding.

That's the same app I use simpler contacts and that's what I was afraid to hear, that there's no way to prevent the phone from using the stock dialer when you make calls
I'm hoping we will get the Galaxy s6 dialer which it's a bit better and specially that we will get the s6's theme engine with the 5.1.1 update but so far there have been no rom leaks so I don't what to think anymore.
Is there any update on this issue yet?
I have tried to use Wanam Xposed to code this out but it will not work.
You can change the ugly white UI in the settings menu which is something at least.
But the stock dialer color will not change.
Does anyone know of a mod to flash back to the dark Jelly Bean dialer?

Just to mention it, if you use any of the 5.1.1 roms, the note5 dialer works prefect on it. Just over right old and set permissions. It is also much, much closer to the aosp one with very few changes. I won't be home until tonight but will try and post it later if anyone wants it.

True Phone is the best.
Any simple way to change the dialer colour. Im on Note 4 N10G on downgraded Kitkat 4.4.4. The JB dialer had a black background when the call is dialling which changed to green when the call connected. But in this stock dialer the background remains green even before the call connects

KK dialer bro. Check it on Google play
KK like other dialers only provides interface BEFORE call is dialled. Once dialled it goes to stock dialer interface.

If you've got Marshmallow, try Google dialer from the N developer preview which can also be set as default; search for Google Phone in ApkMirror.com. True material design and overall stability are the keywords

Ur talking about the call ui. That's kind of difficult to change.

Anybody ever found a solution for OP to bypass stock dialer when actually calling? I absolutely can't stand the stock dialer for functional reasons, not aesthetic ones. The mute button right next to call end?!? What kind of smart idea was that? I'm on 1-hour conference calls all day long, and often mute. A smidge off and then I'm stuck redialing a [email protected]** conference code again. Horrible user experience design. Call end should be isolated far from other common buttons. Anyway, back to the topic, any way to replace or bypass stock dialer... and particularly without root, for those of us who want to still be able to use mobile wallet and banking apps?
Hi,
I've been using exdialer for three years now, but lately I got tired of it. Its main problem for me is that it does not seem to replace completely the stock dialer. Each time I get a call, the background colors are the same light ones used by the stock dialer and also the caller ID photo does not cover the entire screen. Is there any more modern dialer? I'd like someone better integrated, with more complete theming options and a full caller ID picture. Feel free to post a screenshot,if possible. Thanks!
