I just the G5 and it's a pretty solid phone so far...just waiting on my tempered glass and case. One of the worst things about the phone, for me, is the insanely ugly dialer. I had a G2 before this that I had a great ROM on, but the G5's dialer is awful-looking. I love the material design.
Anyone have any recommendations on a dialer to use?

This is the Google Dialer app I use. Just install it and then set it as the default phone app in the settings menu

I don't know about all of you, but the default Blur dialer is roughly 10,000,000 times better than WyContacts that is packaged with CM7. I can't stand the piece of crap anymore. It doesn't allow you to tap a number and have it pull in the dialer so it can be modified, the contact integration is wonky, the favorites list is shoddy... basically I hate it if you can't tell.
Is there a way to either get the stock Dialer from Gingerbread (from the n1 or ns), the Blur dialer, or some other dialer that supports the same feature set as the default or Blur ones?
Help?

Thanks, I guess. I thought it would be inferred I have already been searching around and not found a good alternative, else I wouldn't have bothered posting
Use go dialler in combination with go contacts, I'm sure you'll like it.

Thanks, this one seems to be the closest one available. It's only missing the "Recommended" Favorites. However, where most of these dialers are only 60% of what I want, Go Dialer is more like 80% what I want. None of the other free ones on the Market are very good at all.

Go Dialer is indeed great! but the problem is that missed calls are generated and not cleared unless explicitly swiped or cleared with button.

I can only dream until we can get it ported properly to lg g2. Icons seem huge same with app drawer. :victory:
Yea I saw a video where they made them a little bigger.

Does the "OK Google" command work for you? Does touching and holding ur finger pop out the ability to change wallpaper and add widgets come out? If it does, when you try to change wallpaper does it crash?
Just a few issues I had on mine. LG spoiled me with the customizations.

Some widgets are being shown that are not installed but others work fine. Adding a wallpaper by holding down and selecting wallpaper is broken had to by using gallery. OK Google spoken command does work thanks to the snapdragon 800 but Google search crashes :/
The icons are GIGANTIC.
It hurts my eyes and I feel like Google thinks were all blind.

If your "OK Google" is not working... Try this.
Go into Now setting
, then Voice Settings. Go to "Offline Speech Recognition" and then either redownload or update your language. I did this and it works flawlessly now.

How do I shut this OFF, I mean COMPLETELY OFF... I do NOT want my phone listening to me all the time.
Knock on Dead
I set this up quickly, but then killed it because it disabled knock on. Also the nav bar was still the LG one so it kind of looked weird to me. And yes the icons were garrishly large. I liked the 5x5 grid on the stock launcher and this made me feel like I was using a Fischer Price launcher with the huge buttons. The killing blow for me was that I could not switch easily back to stock launcher and had to uninstall the new 4.4 launcher.
if it could work with Knock on, I might give it another go. (unless I was doing something wrong and there s a way to make it work.)

Everything works, even OK Google!
Only downside is that transitions can be a little laggy..

to get nexus 5 camera, and launcher + many other nexus 5 apps. Unfortunately camera only goes up to 8 Mpix and the buttons are mostly obscured by the soft keys, but it is still usable. But it does have photo sphere. Experiment by pressing just above the soft keys to activate functions and learn how to use it since the actual icons are blocked.

Knock on isn't disabled by a launcher. It still works. But to knock off the screen you have to taps twice in the status bar.

If you long press in the middle of the screen you get the options to pop up as well.
So, can "OK google" be installed by itself? Or does it require apks other than google search? What I'm curious about is, does it fully integrate with calender, etc.?And for those that did install it, how is the battery with it on? Can it be turned off, or does it require uninstall?
I have the launcher installed and the Google search and play services. But I cannot for the life of me get OK Google to work.

eh, it's still not a smooth, non-choppy launcher. idk why, but these stock android launchers still randomly get choppy when switching between pages, even if they're not filled with widgets or icons.
Hi,
I flashed the Note 3 Launcher, the original one I previously had on 4.3 had the ability to hide apps in app drawer, but the N3 one doesnt. Can someone guide me on how to hide them without an app? Or can someone modify it?
Please I dont want another launcher, just the N3 launcher with this ability. Thanks

No frikin idea why they got rid of that...there's like 10 apps I always hide from the drawer...I'm using the LG G2 launcher till that feature is brought back..its pretty solid. Except for the lock screen settings which don't work.don't need em anyways since the functionality isn't there.

That doesn't hide apps... it disables them (and hides them). We need something that only hides the app for example I want to hide the SuperSU app, adaway app... which Samsungs built in hide apps allowed us to do.
Here's the note 3 twizz launcher with blue text by Claude. It has the ability to hide apps as well. If not you could always use nova launcher

Hi Mate ,
I was looking for something like this for the I9500 ( S4) , this works on the S4 with Omega V19 but it disables the app and when you ask to see the dsabled apps it FC , where you got this from, looks promising needs polishing but looks good
Many of you probably know this dialer app already, but i didn't until today.
I just couldn't stand the original dialer for Z Ultra and found this dialer app on play store and I thought I just post it here just in case anyone on the same boat with me. For me, it looks amazing and works better.

I found this too. Added Google Now as I have on all my phones and the next thing I knew I had Google search on every screen and a permanent page for Google now!!
I searched everywhere - there is no uninstall button - I think Google are breaking their own Android rules!!
Novo Launcher was the only way to cover it up rather than remove it.

try using Action Launcher 3, is way better than the stock launcher and visually is the same as the new "pixel launcher". you can hide the google search bar, or use it as an icon only, for my is good enough.

Try Nova Launcher.
