Does anyone else find the dialer in ICS a bit of a disappointment? The keypad search doesn't seem to work very well (e.g. typing "JOH" doesn't show all contacts with "JOH" somewhere in their name). The favourite contacts page shows over-sized icons so that only 4 will fit on a page.
Can anyone recommend a good replacement dialer for ICS?
GoContacts is the best
I can recommend exDialer. It has a nice and clean interface and support for themes. Also, it seems to be stable. I have been using it for 3 weeks or so and didn't see a single crash or malfunction.
Exdialer is the best no doubts!
I am using AOKP Based JB (JellyBAM) since a couple of days.
The standard Contacts editor and Dialer are looking awfully and I am searching for a way to customize them.
I found the app exDialer, which looks much better, supports swipe function to make a call, but during the call I still see the ugly default screen. Also, if I try to edit any of the contacts, it uses the default contact editor, which I think is much uglier than GB.
Anybody that can help me with such mods or themes that might make it look better?
Thanks!
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.
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/themes-apps/themes-note-4-blacked-ui-kk-4-4-4-mod-t2922662 going to try this and see if it works
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?
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).

Ok here it is, it's a Google drive link but I can confirm it's legit as it's working fine for me.
Please check as there are 2 diallers, one is Google MM dialler, and one is N dialler.
