The dialer does not appear to work in multi-window mode; I can do the initial dialing, but at connection, it switches to full-screen... preventing multi-window. If I go back to the dialer in multi-window, it starts a new call; I cannot enter meeting IDs, for example.
So the best benefit of multi-window isn't available - long meeting ids in the dialer.
Are there dialers that do work in multi-window, or a hack?

I am using the google dialer app on nougat. I can open multi window and dial without problems. After connecting it will not go to full screen, but the only option I have is to hang up.

Here is my question: I would like to set up a text message shortcut on my home screen using the "direct message" shortcut for a specific contact, BUT I would like the shortcut to open directly into voice control so I can just begin talking (as opposed to opening into the text thread, then having to tap the box to bring up the keyboard, then having to tap the voice control icon).
Also, I know about the voice control app (say "text Rob" then start speaking your message). I want to cut out the "To" part of the equation because Google Voice very often gets that part wrong and I end up having to manually change the recipient info.
Thanks guys!
Anyone?

I like how in the stock dialer, when you select a contact, you swipe left to SMS or swipe right to call, quite slick. However, this doesnt seem to work for the favorites (as long as I use grid view i/o list view). When I tap on a favorite, it brings up the contact profile (w/ all the phone numbers, email addresses etc) instead of dialing by default; very inconvenient, esp when you're in a rush to call from the street. Am I missing a setting?
I've tried using exDialer instead; almost perfect except it doesn't clear missed call notifications (you still need to open the stock dialer to clear that) and doesn't show your call log as clearly (just one entry/contact, instead of showing all recent inbound/outbound/missed calls as distinct records). Is there any way around both of these issues?
It would be really cool if there was a way to do these things with apps or any other way. I just collected a few which I think of as most important.
Keep screen awake in chosen apps (eg fitness, maps, notes, ...)
End calls using the watch and change speaker mode while in a call
Lock mode for showering
Disable the wake up gesture (wrist movement) without disabling notifications
Choose not to go back to home screen when the display times out
Remove notifications from the watch face so you can finally use analogue ones (the notifications will only show when you swipe down or get a new notification from certain apps --> eg sms will still show when you get one, but weather etc won't)
I linked the threads / posts of the people who posted the idea first. This thread is just to collect them
Edit:
Ok so number 1 - 3 can be done with:
N1 - Swipify
N2 - Dialer for Android Wear or Speed Dial for Android Wear
N3 - Wear My Launcher
So I just upgraded from a Galaxy Nexus on 4.2.2 to the Nexus 6 on 5.1. The dialer for 5.1 is the worst. I have searched Google Play for a Jelly Bean Dialer, but nothing exists. Does anybody know of a dialer that's worth running?
Features I'm looking for that Jelly Bean's Dialer has:
Recent calls list displays caller's picture, name, phone number, incoming/outgoing calls, date/time of call and two "single select" options for each caller: option 1, dial the caller and option 2: view more call details
Dialing screen with large DIAL and HANGUP buttons instead of that tiny dime sized button in the 5.1 dialer.
Swipe between recent calls and dialer instead of the tiny dime sized dialer that must be selected in the 5.1 dialer.
Call history/recent calls list that scrolls forever without having to hit a button to "view full call history"
Thanks for the help.
I have an app that calls Ooma voicemail for a different # and then plays back the message out loud. When I retrieve a message, I know there will frequently be a phone number which I'll want to write down. I'm trying to use the split window to give me a half window of QuickMemo in which I would like to write the number being spoken through the player.
I put a split window shortcut on the bottom of the screen. However, no matter when I turn on the split window (before or after accessing the Ooma app), I get a panel of options: when I choose Quick Memo, it fills the screen (instead of halving it), and turns off the playback of the Ooma Voicemail. Seems to me there should be a way...but I can't find it.
I can see that actually, I'm trying to keep three apps open: the Ooma voicemail app, the playmusic app and then, the quickmemo app. Might there be a way before I revert to find a pen?
Thanks.
