is it me or is the ICS dialer EXTREMELY laggy opening and the xt9 dialing is always being on dial presses. GB roms = click on dialer and instant opening, this one i have to wait up to 3/4 seconds.
Yes, I have also had some lag from opening up the ICS dialer. I use Apex launched and I set the double-tap gesture to open up the dialer and it is kind of slow. BTW, it's hilarious when you say 3/4 a second as if that was so slow haha. All joking aside I know what you mean though, it would be nice if it was instant.

he meant 3 to 4 seconds, not three-fourths of a second.
Same problem here started a couple days ago. Whats even slower is getting the call log to show up. That's takes another 1-2 seconds. Weird.

Seems like deleting call list fixes the lag for me, although i wish it never would show text in the CALL LOG! makes no sense and fills up way to earily for me

I really really hated this on my GS2 and was so pleased they stopped listing texts in the "call log" on stock Galaxy Note gb. Now it's back on the ICS ROM....
I have definitely noticed some serious lag all around in the phone app. Takes too long to load, favorites is laggy when loading up and it feels like forever waiting for the call ended screen to go away.
Thanks for the clear call log suggestion. Will
try this.
Update: app is a little more snappy after clearing call log. Favorites still a little laggy and call ended screen shows for way too long.

Yes it does make it a little faster. Something is def screwy with the phone apk as I even got it to fc by trying to add a favorite. Do launchers have anything to do with it? I'm on Apex as Nova gave me nothing but lag. Maybe I will try TW for the hell of it.

You can hide text messages from the call log by Menu --> View By --> All calls. It makes the call log come up instantly, but the dialer still takes 3-4 seconds to load.

Is that the launcher that CM team uses for CM9 ? If so that was a sweet launcher.
Edit: yup it is CM9 launcher. Loving it. Thanks

This is not good. I'm using stock GB and experiencing couple of second delay on dialer. I was really hoping ICS would fix this. I hate keep mentioning my iPhone experience but iPhone dialer was very fast and phone experience was much better overall...
Hi guys, give a try to Ray Dialer free app on market, seems to open very fast even if is not in memory , but leeks some functions like contacts, favotites and the option to add a new contact without having to call it.

Hey, which battery app is that? I have battery indicator which is fine but it takes up a slot in the notification bar. I like the one you have that just takes the spot of vibrant's battery meter.

I been using Go Launcher for a while now and I'm running trigger final. When I go to my contacts and choose a contact to dial, it takes forever to finally dial the number. I've noticed that if I hit the back button or the home button it helps a little bit. I've tried deleting old text messages as well as clearing my call list, but it's only temporary and not enough to fix my problem. Does anyone else have this issue or found a fix for it? anything would be appreciated.

ex dialer rocks, but it still doesn't solve my lag issues when dialing a call. The screen still freezes and I have to wait as much as 30 seconds for the call to finally send.
Did you try clearing the cache for Dialer?
System Settings -> Applications -> All -> Dialer -> Clear Cache
I haven't really had lag problems, but that's helped when the dialer force closed when entering a number.
Yeah tried that too. I'm actually really starting to think it's go launcher. I deleted it and it made my phone real zippy and responsive. I'm just not a fan of the stock launcher. But getting rid of my custom launcher seemed to solve it. So I figured, screw it and jumped on zenwich. I can live without GPS.

Go Launcher used to be on of my favorites, but it's getting way too flashy for its own good regarding the Vibrant. Too much going on for the old girl as far as I'm concerned.
If you haven't flashed to ICZen yet I highly suggest the Holo launcher if you're still on Froyo. Ice Cream Sandwhich looks and a good portion of the functionality; absolutely love it. Grab that with something like Ex Dialer and I think you'd be good.
I been running icszen for s while now. Very pleased with it as you said. No more lag with the dialer. It's got a couple bugs, but I'm up for upgrade now.

Sense 4.0 is smooth, but I've noticed that the app drawer consistently lags whenever I open it. The only time this doesn't occur is when I open it multiple times in succession. It happened on both stock and rooted roms, even with the dual core mod, power saver off, and charlmeleon Rom ultra smooth Rosie. It's annoying the crap out of me because the rest of the phone is so smooth.Has anyone else experienced this?

Weird..I have had mine now since late May and never any lag what so ever. But now I am running fresh 1.0 with Nova launcher, maybe try that setup, I have used the crap out of mine, running hard every day and never a hickup except for last weekend but that was due to east coast storm that knocked out the Telco.

try settings/developer options and uncheck animations
Yeah I've used apex launcher before, and there was no lag, but I want to have sense. I found a partial fix though. If you change the animation scale to .5x then opening the app drawer is a little more smooth. Hopefully jelly bean will fix this, but I don't plan on waiting for htc's ota update so it probably won't matter to me by then.

I have a feeling it has to do with the CPU ramping up to par for the system to use it. I know someone said it still lags with dual core mods etc.etc. but isn't our phone running the ondemand governor by default? The CPU could be at 384 on the home screen and then shoot up to 1.5 during the little stutter moment of opening the app drawer. I could be way off on this but that's how I'm understanding it

Samsung dialers used to include a function where you could slide right over a contact to call and slide left to message them. They removed this a while ago and changed to the default android behavior, so I switched to using exdialer since it retained this. Just the other day, exdialer was updated and no longer does this in the contacts (still works in the recent call list) . I've looked around a bit for another app that has this functionality, but I can't seem to find one.
Anyone know of one out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Any and every Samsung TW(touchwiz) based rom has this function. Shostock, Aberration, all TW roms. Cm9,AOSP and AOKP roms DO NOT have this feature. So you need to try a TW rom, I dual boot Shostock2 and Aberration, and both have this feature.
He's talking about alternative dialer apps if I'm not mistaken. I don't use any, so unfortunately i can't help.
exDialer in the Play store. It's free and has the swipe to call/SMS functionality you're looking for.

Nope, as the op mentioned, it was removed in the latest update (or at least doesn't work correctly on JB ). The toggle is still in the settings, and it works from the call history, but swiping left or right in contacts just changes pages.

It still works in exDialer. You have to click the button in preferences to allow swiping to dial from contacts. I've just tried it and confirmed it still works. However, I don't know how it worked before as I've never used it before today, so not sure if it's a new setting previously unavailable.
Also, I'm running Task's AOKP JB. Make sure you set a # as default, too, the first time you try it for each person.

Yep, I'm an idiot. There are actually TWO toggles to enable swipe a contact to dial. The one towards the top of the list is for the dialer only, and then there is another one lower in the list for contacts.
Thanks JankAU for pushing me to figure this out - it had been a moderate annoyance. Hope this also helps out the OP.
