Have just upgraded my SGSII to the latest stock samsung firmware and rooted it.
The only thing I dont like apart from the overloaded bloat is the dialler. When you press favourites they come up as pictures and I keep dialling them by mistake, prefer the old style names not pictures.
Can this be changed or could I flash a new dialler/logs/favourites?

I use exDialer from the play store instead of the stock dialer and I am quite happy with it. Perhaps worth a try.

I just switched from a 2.1 ROM (BeHero I believe it was) to the Elelinux_Froyo_2.2_v1.5 ROM on my Hero. One thing I miss is the 2.1 dialer, you know the one where you could enter for example "2662" and it would find all contacts with the letters "anna" and/or with number containing 2662. I really liked that. Dialer One does the same thing, but it is very laggy and slow.
I want the one to the right:

First I thought it was Sence-specific, but after flashing the above ROM but with Sence included, I realised this was not the case.
Anyone know if this is possible?
Dialer one from market has T9. Froyo is AOSP and it has the default Google Dialer.
another suggestion nubdial
This question has been asked EXTREMELY many times AND it's in the wrong section...
Another suggestion is to post in the right place as this is not development... Lol sorry it just gets on peoples nerves so thought i'd jump in there before someone else does
Lol bummer seems i was too late
Haha...

you can take the dialer from 2.1 and put it in your rom?
if yes you can try with adb filemanager or update.
but i dont know...
Moved to Q&A as not development

i had the same problem as i was on elelinux froyo 1.4. i thought that dialer one and nubdial were just two ****ty piececes of software. than i flashed froydVillain and OMFG they both worked brilliantly, no lags, nothing... also everything was just so much better in FV.
i think you should try too.
Yep, i use dialer one and it works perfectly. Another app you might want to try (instead of stock android contacts) is phonebook 2.0. downloaded it y/day and its amazing, syncs facebook pics too. Also shows activity, such as calls, messages, facebook updates, lets you reply. Anyway its way better then stock android contact IMO.
These two apps made me feel a lot better about going to froyo without htc apps.
I'm soon getting a vibrant and since I've already seen an internationl galaxy s, I've gotten to like the way it handles contacts (swype left and right for sms, calling) and the widgets for social integration.
I've seen that most custom roms get rid of touchwiz, and I don't like the launcher since it looks iphonish (ugly ) but I wonder if custom roms keep the other stock stuff like the dialer, contacts, widgets, etc.
Could anyone clarify this for me please?
Yup some of them do.

with some roms there is a app they include called bloater. Thats all the stock items removed but can be reinstalled.

I think 99%, if not 100% of the roms use the stock samsung dialer and contacts.
That's great to hear (ok, read )! Thanks guys.
Then you're not losing much going to custom roms, going to try em as soon as I can.
Hey guys,
i rooted my phone some days ago, threw everything that's Samsung out of it (Gallery, Calendar, Tasks, the hubs etc.) and replaced it with stock ICS stuff. However, I haven't found a way to replace the samsung dialer or the contacts app with their resective AOSP equivalents. Is there a way to do that?

yes its there to replace, but from my past it will often give you problems over time. so its better to use some alternative dialers or simply you can try some custom aokp/aosp roms.
Use custom ROM which is based of Samsung with themed as aosp.
Do a search for aospcontactsmms.zip I used to have it but stopped using it due to it causing problems with the built in blacklist.

Thanks for the replies So far, I'm really impressed by how well everything works, even after removing some Apps Like all the hubs, chat, samungs e-mail and calendar app etc.
I really thought i would run into problems, since this is the first time i rooted an android phone and messed around with it. I will now try to replace the contacts app etc., and if that causes problems I'll go for cm9...or is there a ROM that's even closer to "stock ics"?
Stock ics .... Look under Android development.
Greetings everybody,
As the title suggests, I want to switch to using a custom rom as my daily driver,
First I like the stock android look better than touchwiz's, and having the ability to tweak my phone to my liking is tempting.
But there are a few things holding me back from doing that, I've tried using AOKP 4.2.2 ROM a few days ago but went back to the factory setup immediately after for a few reasons:
1- Camera's auto-focus has gotten slow and faulty, and the quality of the images worsened.
2- I couldn't sync facebook with my contacts (profile pictures show on contacts).
3- Many apps that came built in with samsung's touchwiz were removed and I had to download similar ones from the play store (music player, fm radio, file browser etc... I also found that setting up my ringtone is a bit fiddly.
If somebody could help me find a way to address some of these problems that's be very much appreciated.
Thanks in a advance!
I'm sorry I'm gonna post it on Q&A, just delete it from here.

Quality of images can't be solved, but auto focus is solved in the recent nightlies
Use haxsync or uber sync for fb contacts
The samsung apps need the framework (touchwiz) and will not work on AOSP

Use touchwiz based roms , you ll have the exact same stock look and feel and better performance , the apps you wanted will be present in them and they will mostly be stable , so you wont have any problems , plus you ll have root so you can do all the tweaking you wanted and are interested in
Go to this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2220154 - look at roms under samsung base Enjoy! Welcome to Rooting , Youre never going back !
I had the same thing but I just kept flashing roms to see wich I like best. Seems sotmax seems ok for now im just waitin for a 4.2 rom wich does not drain my battery while I setup my phone and apps. (I found out if I read properly it might be kernel related and that there is no official good kernel for the 4.2 android.)

Hi Newbie needs some help, got a samsung galaxy young this model.
smartphone/GT-S6310ZWTTL Australia Telstra model
Not sure if it differs to other models, seems there maybe two youngs about. anyhow i like this phone mostly because of size and having a hard home button. But what is annoying is when i type a text message using 3x4 keyboard there is a horrible wait/lag for the curser to move on up. It takes forever compared to other phones, I tried using textra App sms app and no good, since that works well on another phone friend has Hauwiee 210y Pro. Is there any way i can speed this typing experience up, tried cache clear to no go...I'm a fast type so this is very frustrating. . Are all samsung phones like this, or just ones with with a Low Ram?...or is it the phone itself?...Should i put a Custom Rom on it, if so what one...Cheers :good:
You could try (I would reccommend) the Custom ROM. You need to have your device rooted for this!
NB! Google is your friend

Any other way besides a rom?, how often do samsung do updates
Try restoring the phone and disable unwanted apps.
