At last my Axon 7 with stock Nougat feel (almost) - ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

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.

Windows Phone 7 Theme

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

How to show notification bar on other launchers??

I've been trying out every launcher under the sun and decided to settle on the Google Now launcher, which is totally sweet as you can just say Ok Google soon as you unlock your watch which is very cool.... However, how on earth do you get to see the notification bar??? Every launcher except stock and OUI2 hide it for some reason... anyone have any ideas??
I use both the Google Now launcher and stock (I don't like OUI at all). I switch between OK Google and stock for the notification bar. Some use an app to display notifications, but there are reportedly issues with swiping down with it installed, etc. SwipeStatusBar or something like that.

I find there are some issues with the Now Launcher and compared it with Nova Prime...
Now Launcher
Pros:
OK Google hot word works soon as you unlock your phone (Best feature ever!)
Now Cards when you swipe left....
Cons:
Can't seem to easily add another page
Scrolling is a bit laggy and not quite as sensitive, seems to try and open an app quite a bit, you have to be quite deliberate with your page scrolls.
Nova Launcher Prime:
Pros:
You can resize icons & remove app names to save space.
Very fast page scrolling
Seems to be easier to add widgets I like "One More Clock" widget...
Cons:
Can't say "OK Google, order me pizza!" ;(
Is there a Google Now widget or something???

you can set nova with ok google commands or in that case whatever you want to say like "ok phone listen to me..." by using an app called tasker and an app called autovoice. Look on youtube and you can find some great tutorials.
I did a bit of digging around and found SwipeStatusBar to be a good app for Apex - I made the adjustment so it fits on the top right of my screen.
I got the name from someone on here, but I've forgotten who - sorry!

A material design dialer replacement 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?

Which dialer?

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!

Ok I have done it, Samsung S9+ after 10 years of HTC ..shocked!

Hi there
Some days ago I have sadly changed my HTC One M9 Plus after 3 and half years of service, the last of a 10 years experience with HTC from the HD2...what a sad situation about the brand.
Anyway I have bought a Samsung S9 Plus which seems not bad at all but I have some questions about it:
1) I have seen that is it possible to change the resoution of the screen, currently I'm on 2220*1080 but I could go for 2960*1440, anyway some widget already have small text, I have tried the upper resolution and a lot of things (icons etc) doesn't seems define enough to support it. What do you suggest?
2) I miss some HTC hystorc widget like the weather flip-clock and the contact widget for making quick call, do you know if there is a chance to install them on the samsung?
3) Is that possible to change the disposition of the system lower key (home, back and multitasking) ?
4) Is that possible to wake up the phone from the always on with a double tap?
5) Is that possible to have a wallpaper for the home and a different wallpaper for the all apps menu?
Welcome over from HTC. I too was a fan of their products until the last 4 years.
1. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Screen Resolution -> Select WQHD+ although will use more battery.
2. Download Sense Flip or Flipv2 from marketplace.
3. Yes, Settings -> Display -> Navigation Bar on the bottom -> Select your preferred order.
4. Not entirely sure if it's possible.
5. Not entirely sure. I prefer using a different launcher like Nova Launcher and use it to mimic Google as much as possible.
Hi there!
Thanks you very much for your answears!
I have tried the 2 widget that emulates the HTC flip clock but I don't I guess it's not the same thing as the original, also the have a low resolution for this phone.
I have also searched a contact widget to add photo of favorites contacts for quick calls, I have found some but they all are too much small for the resolution of the S9+

Use edge panel for favorite contacts with their photos, otherwise you have stock contacts widget which works just fine
Ok edge panel is nice otherwise the contact widget add too much small photo of your contact and also also you need to manually add one by one, you cannot have a table
