[Q] Direct dialer tab shortcut ? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I can't seem to find any way to create this shortcut, not an app, not a shortcut, and not an activity.
I simply want to be able to enter the dialer tab directly, without going through call log or contacts.
I don't want a dialer widget on my desktop, or a different dialer.
I found this solution, but it's not good for me, because I want to use the dial pad auto complete feature (with the name prediction), so it won't help me to launch the dialer with a specific number in it.
How come the problem is so simple yet there's no solution?
(Running stock Jelly bean 4.3 on Nexus 4)
Thanks in advanced.

[Q] Show "all" calls option in stock rom contacts-log tab

Is there a modified contacts apk or is it possible to make one to have the option to show all calls in the logs tab instead of calls and text? I don't quite understand why sammy made an option for dialed, recieved, and missed calls but doesn't have an option for all of them combined. I am stock rooted and want to keep it that way(for now) and don't want to download a different style contacts app. So wondering if this is possible or is already available. Thanks
I was also wondering about this. Half the time I get confused as to why so and so called me instead of texting like usual.

[SOLVED]Create a direct shortcut for Dialer Tab

(This is for non-cyanogen roms) This is about shortcut for dialer tab under phone application -
Its annoying sometimes the default behavior of 'Phone' icon. It will launch the call log always and what I have observed that the call log takes much time to open. SO in situations like you are taking a phone number, you will launch phone application then you have to wait for some time till call log opens and then go to dialer tab to type a number...(meanwhile friends will laugh at you for the speed). LauncherPro has the shortcut for direct dial but we may not always use LauncherPro. Well, for all users facing similar problem, here is solution -
Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in india. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a wodget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Hello, thank you very much about the info. I just came to know that DesktopVisualizer is the one preventing me from direct dialing out from the the directdial shortcut widget.
My question might not be relavent to this topic but could you please give advise on how to get rid of the desktop visualizer and allow me to use direct dial again.
I have tried using DialerOne app and it gives the same result, redirecting me to stock dialpad with number... i wish i can dial it out right away.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.

[Q] Dialer/phone app (mark calls and delete them)

Hi,
does anyone know a dialer app, that has a stock Samsung Dialer functionality to mark calls in call log and then delete them? I was searching all over the net and forums, but with no luck. All they offer is "remove all calls from call log" or single call delete within menu.
Or even better, if someone could tell me, if there is a possibility to install Samsung stock dialer (4.x) to custom AOSP/AOKP/CM ROM. Because as far as I know, you cannot.
Thanks!

[Q] Open the dialer/keypad and not the last status used (Samsung)

Hi,
When I press the Samsung phone shortcut default application (to make a call or view contacts, call log etc.), it usually open the last position used i.e. if last time I used the call log, so it will open the call log (when I want to use keypad to dial….)
What to do?
I have already found a shortcut application, that point directly to 'call log', but still asking for dialer (keyboard) specific shortcut.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.erikofsweden.erikutil
I use Samsung Galaxy Alpha, but I think my question related to any Samsung phone.
PS
The 'call log' mode is default to all "all logs" yet I want it to default to all call logs"

[Q] Stock dialer name display order?

Is there any way to change the order of how the stock S6 Edge dialer displays contacts when they are calling?
I have contacts from different parts of the world with REALLY long names and the last names usually are not displayed when the person is calling.
So, basically, I want stock dialer to display Last name first and then First name. I managed to change the view in the Contacts app, but not in the dialer...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
