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?

I am very interested in making my own theme and after looking around I've noticed there isn't really a good Windows Phone 7 theme. Sure, there are launchers that replicate it, but applications aren't themed. :\ Soooo, I was thinking about making one and theming a few apps to finish up the polish. Any feedback? Anyone want to help?
Apps to Theme:
Dialer / Phone
Contacts
Messages
Music Player Not just theming, but re-coding
If you think of another app please let me know!
Thanks!
They already have a large project going on this.
http://wp7android.com/apps/
i would love the dialer app and the messaging app. They already have a launcher and the music and the lock screen done. I really like the metro UI but i will pass on the launcher. Though i do use all the icons =).

yeah, and i dont think anyone will be able to make something as smooth as WP7 really is. since Microsoft has updated OpenGL 2.0 and we only have 1.0/1.1. also they have hardware acceleration as well as iphone so eh. maybe im wrong?
I used a windows 7 phone for about a month. Incredibly smooth. No lag at all. Of course that was because only 1 app was running at a time... Which is why i went back to android. Cant stand no multi tasking. Anyways, i actually really like the metro UI. If they could link the contacts and phone app together so that when you hit contacts in the phone app it would open up the wp7 contacts, that would be awesome. The launcher on android actually keeps up pretty well. The animation is alot smoother on wp7 though.

The windows 7 dialer does link to the windows 7 contacts app if u have both installed.
fede from the launcher pro team is working on porting the music app, looks awesome but afaik its still in alpha, API is on the forums if you search for it

i might go ahead and buy the apk from the wp7android people for the dailer and contacts then. Does anyone know if you can change the default dialer. Never had a replacement dialer before. By this i mean, if you go to a website and click a phone number, will it open up the wp7 dialer or the stock one?

If you have multiple dialers installed (stock plus another) it will ask you which option you want to use when you press the phone button, launch a contact, etc, and then you can set one or other as default. I've got Go Contacts which comes with a dialer, and it did this until I selected one or other. Then if you want to set it back I think you go into manage applications and clear the defaults for that app

The issue that i was having was that i used it as a stop watch and unless i was on that stop watch when it went off then it didnt go off. Caused me to be over on my lunch break and rest breaks at work toooo many times. Plus i dont like the boring launcher. Not very customizable.... yet.
it would be still cool if someone could theme gingerblur ... windows phone 7ish... like status bar icons and all... that would be hawt

Hello, I searched but didn't find an answer to this one. So here goes.
I'm not a fan of the TouchWiz dialer app in the standard ICS ROM. I've tried out some dialers from the Play Store and find that I can use them... but once a number is dialed the ancient 2.x-looking dialer reappears for the duration. Any solution?

Is your phone rooted? If it is you could probably flash a .zip for a different dialer.
Hope this helps
Thanks!

Thanks for the response, I haven't rooted yet; I'm not a total newbie when it comes to rooting as I've done it for some previous phones. I haven't taken the leap because I'm wary of losing the ability to upgrade when the official JB ROM arrives (fingers crossed).
That being said.... Perhaps I'll go for it and permanently lose the 2009-looking dialer once and for all!
Thanks again!
Hey
I would re-commend using, dialer one. It's a great surprisingly for a third party app
the dialer and the phone are two seperate things. no matter what dialer you use after dialing it is always going to go back to stock phone. third party apps take the place of contacts.apk but calls are handled by phone.apk. you will have to flash a rom with a themed phone.apk or aosp based to get the change you want.
Good to know. I'm really puzzled by how dated parts of the UI are. When my Note arrived back in August I had to do a double take. From the dark background behind shortcut names on the homescreen to the green and grey dialer I thought Gingerbread was still lurking about somewhere. I use Nova Launcher pro to make most things look like ICS but it looks like I'll have to root and flash to finish the job. For some reason it really me.
Thanks to all for the help.

I am on Touchwiz 4.4 rom and I can't stop the stock TW dialer form handling the calls.
Each dialer I install (for example: exDialer) works for typing in the number, but as soon as I click "Call", the stock dialer takes over the screen. It is the same with incoming calls - stock dialer answers them and there's no way to change it.
On top of that, because exDialer is not the default dialer, it can't clear missed calls, even though the plugin for it is installed.
I had no issues like that on ASOP roms. Is this normal with TouchWiz roms? Is there any way around it?

No there is any around it. There are 2 different apps at work here. The dialer which you use to dial the call and the phone app which is the in call screen. Not all phone files are open sourced so all you can get is a replaced dialer app.
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!

As soon as google phone provides support or i upgrade, i will be using this but the above apps are good
Ok, this is great, I have finally managed to find the pixel dialler that works for the A7, not the MM one, but the new Nougat dialler
I have the Google messaging app, Google contacts and of course the launcher.
It actually feels like a native Google phone, and I love it.
There are a few tiny exceptions, but not much.
Nearby places doesn't work in the dialler, and the pixel launcher doesn't have long press on google apps to give the sub menu.
That aside, the dialler is the pixel dialler on incoming calls (thank god)
Its fast and fluid and so much better than MyFavour which is total crap in my opinion, but there are a few touches that I do like, such ad the locker picture changer, the ultra battery saver, the screen colour modes, the rest can take a hike.
I should add, that rooting was not required at all.

I get pretty close with Nova launcher..... and it has the long press to access the sub menu on the apps that support them (and supports a dark mode).
While I do like the Google dialer and contacts better, I actually like the new Hiya addition to the ZTE dialer enough to keep the stock ZTE dialer (I really dislike the ZTE contacts).

Please check as there are 2 diallers, one is Google MM dialler, and one is N dialler.
