[Q] dialer & launcher suggestion? - Streak 5 Themes and Apps

Guys,
I Really need a stable, minimal, fast launcher & dialer combo for my streak.
My trusty Go launcher+dialer are creating a mess for past two weeks!:crying:
I am expecting a few interview calls soon!
I really dont want my dear streaky to let me down by goofing up!
I am on DSC 1.3
Rest all apps run fine.
It just goes so nuts with the Go Dialer/Launcher screens! :grrrr:
Thank you folks!
Sony.

Holo launcher trying it out!
Stock dialer - means - I lose the T9 functionality?
Thanks for the quick response!

I think I have some disconnect!
I dont get any settings on "dialer" - stock.
( stock - you mean the android huge full screen dialer right? )

press the menu (center led button) u will see setting ui if not then i think it is only for CM7 users...

I use exDialer from Market. Good App with nice UI (themes) and T9 support.
Contactmanagement is also included. You can find it in the market.
As launcher I use ssLauncher.

Tried the exdialer - but - it lags a lott! Does it run fine with you?
ssLauncher - hmmm
Is it smoother than Holo launcher? - I am using it now- its very lightweight.
Thanks,
Sony.

Hi,
ExDialer works fine for me. I use it since a half year. Only problem: clearing missed calls, but you can fix it in the settings.
I didn't use Holo-Launcher since now, so I can't say if ssLauncher is smoother. What I like is that ssLauncher is highly customizable.
An other dialer suggestion is dw contacts & dialer. Looks not so good (in my opinion), but has a lot of features (especialy the Pro-version).
Hope I could help.
MfG & Gut Pfad

I did try it - twice!
But- it was one of the 5 things I uninstalled - when I was having really terrible battery life! ( and now - battery life is much better! )

I am still using Holo-Launcher.
still not tried ssLauncher - but when I do get tired/bored of the Holo - this one I will try - thanks!

Yes - you did! thank you (overdue!)

I was also thinking - don't we have flashable phone apks or zips?
that way - we will not keep switching between "installed" dialer and the "default" calling screen + dialer also!
Is it not so easy - or is there some catch?
for e.g. in my DSC 1.4 ROM - I wish the stock dialer was ICS stock ( with T9 support )- I wouldn't need another dialer then!
Any pointers?
Cheers!
Sony.

i tried this couple of minutes ago, but with all due respect...touchwiz isn´t that good. I dont like it at all. I need more config-options than touchwiz can deliver (0)
but still, good work
Nice work dude
work's just fine taking a look on it, and deciding wether to use Launcher Pro, Arc Launcher or this one
very same to me

It hides the 4th line aplications under dock.
I will add in first post.
Edit: Its just a matter of organization, i deleted previus versions.
The tip is to dont keep more than 12 icons in eatch screem.

[Q] Stock SE SMS/Dialer/Contact for CM7 ?

Hi !
Everything is in the title
I'm looking for SE stock apps to use them as replacement for SMS/dialer/contact, because I don't like the ones built in CM6/7. So, is there anyone who have managed to use them with CM7 ?
Thanks you in advance
BTW : The stock 4 corners launcher would be nice too
(Or maybe we should wait for the next x10 mini/pro and get the new rom to butcher it and port it to our phone :/)
I am looking for it too please
T9
Can't help you on the stock progs, but, take a look at Go SMS Pro and TouchPal Dialer. I found them way better than both CM and stock dialers/sms

Indeed, Touchpad dialer is fine, even if the fonts are very small :-/
Go Sms seems good too, not totally at my taste, because again of the fonts' size, but it would do the job

Well.. small screen - small fonts
Have you figured what to do with with the in-call screen? When I use in-call dialpad (to browse throught voice menus) the bottom rows (7890) are hidden ...
I use external keyboard for that..
Any ideas?
Thanks
Not a clue :-S, sorry

About that, we know now why SE did choose the four corners ui xD ... To gain some place for things like a dialer :-S

is there a different phone.apk ?

hi all
im playing with cm7
its awesome - bit faster than kj2
but i loved the functionally of the phone app in touchwiz
slide the contact to call or message , search bar on top instead of having to click through options etc
is there a way to get the phone apk .. i heard it relies on the TW framework
if so
then is there another phone apk i can use ?
thanks
The TW dialer will not work with CM. Look for dialer's in the Market instead. There are several choices.
E.g. Touchpal or Dialer One.
Touchpal:

[Q] I9300 Jellybean "LAG" when opening DIALLER @ CONTACTS

Hi all !
I have been using many different custom jellybean rome over the last month or so and have realised that they all have a noticable lag when you try to open the dialler or contacts from the home page especially for the 1st time or after you open the task manager and kill all running apps.
Does anyone have a explanation or fix for this as its really frustrating me and looks bad when someone wants you to add there number into your phone and see how slow it is to do so ....
Some of the roms i have used are : Criskelo, Dragon, Omega, Turkbey, Wanam lite to name a few.
Look forward to your feedback !

its normal! but if it bothers you that much, try any AOSP or AOKP rom.. they're fast! none of the AOSP or AOKP roms have this issue..

Thanks for your reply but what are these AOSP or AOKP roms & what does the abbreviation stand ?
Android open source project & android open kang project.
AOSP is the 'rom' originally released by google.
AOKP is a rom based on AOSP but with some additions.
Many thanks to both your replies !
So there is no fix for this lag in the normal jelly bean roms?

Exactly the same for me. The dialer, call log and favourites contacts performance is a pain in the... I can't understand how a firmware is realesed where one of the most important apk is not working properly. My solution has been exdialer (which is working flawlessly).
sometimes I think, this is the difference between Samsung and Apple products (I hate to admit that)

Yes, ex dialer, nova launcher. ... did i buy galaxy s3 or some zte blade? !?!
Does anyone have the solution for this? Now I'm on 4.1.2, and the lag is still there, I can't believe , didn't anybody complain about it? Samsung doesn't have an answer for that? Is it impossible to make a fix?

it is because contacts & dialer are not kept in memory. There is a big thread in the General section about it already. Solution till now as I understood: use for instance exDialer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1807819
+ 'Whitelist 'Dialer/Contacts' on/off toggle (make sure Contacts stay in memory.. removes the lag!)

Exactly the same here. Even stock jb has this Lag. Such a fix will be a huge improvement.
i just tried deluxe settings but it doesnt seems for me to do the trick. i am on omega v37.

it has nothing to do with quad core ...
if u install cm 10.1 it opens instant too. its just the bad software that runs on the quad core. and u think the phone boosts up all cores just for opening dialer? play heavy games on both device than u got the true power of that phone

AOSP 4.2.2 Phone.apk alternative

I am searching a PHONE alternative (one you see during a call) , I really liked Samsung phone but can't find even one replacement (there are ones only for the contacts and dialer).
I wish there was a Samsung look alike phone for AOSP.
I am with ParanoidAndroid 3.15 ROM on i9100.
Also I miss the green highlight on the notification bar during a call.
If someone know how to write such an phone.apk app, I will pay him nicely.

You can try exdialer & contacts.. It's a stand alone app but you can set it to default and it works. Looks very nice, miui stile

A good thing about exdialer is the theme support. So there are many different good working themes. I used exdialer a long time on my lg l9 with a holo theme. Works good stable, fast and Battery friendly. The green lighted StatusBar... I have no idea. When i am on homescreen during a call, so i can pulldown the statusbar and can click hang on or can go back to the telephon screen. Thats enough for me. SGS2 - RevoltJB4.3 - android 4.2.2 - cm10.1 and aosp and Paranoid based rom
I want the in-call app replacement, not a dialer replacment like eXdialer etc...
