[Q] Looking perfect Dialer (with Facebook contact search) without HTC Sense ROM

I'm looking for those two specifications from a Dialer:
Search into Facebook contact
Search number in the middle
By search number in the middle, I mean if I start dialing 555 it would show me number 0785556767 by example.
Dialer one has those two specifications but only with HTC Sense ROM, with non Sense ROM, it doesn't look into the Facebook contact
So I'm looking for:
a way to make Dialer One working with non Sense ROM for Facebook search into contact
another Dialer that would look for Facebook contact and search number in the middle with a non Sense ROM
a non Sense ROM that would allow any of the two above
Thanks,
Nickwe.
You may try with aTAKEphONE. The last version is 1.25
"- Search company (!) and notes (!) fields.
- Search (filter) call log list by text.
- Jump to a specific date in the call log.
- Schedule calls as entries in your Calendar.
- Search for contact in a super fast & sophisticated way -
using a T9-like mechanism (e.g. to search for "John" simply
tap the "JKL", "MNO", "GHI", "MNO" buttons)"

DON'T POST YOUR QUESTIONS IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION!
Do you not think the mod of this forum (Who also is a mod for 5 other devices) has better things to do than constantly moving all your '[Q]' threads?
Thank you,

Good question. Most general queries end up in development these days :/
Is it not also bad forum etiquette to clog up threads with unrelated posts?
And yes, I'm aware of the irony.

How to search unread posts only under certain device subforum

How to search unread posts only under certain device subforum?
Its possible to seach messages since last visit under certain subforum(+its subforums) but search needs phrase. What is working instead of *** ?
Also I think I did not see possibility to configure RSS feed as to my liking.

Forums/lagacy devices issues

Hi admin
Could you please do away with the lagacy device forum and just organize the main forum index by device manufacture that will make the forum more cleaner looking and also install cloudflare plugin its free to speed up loading times etc. The lagacy forum is the most pointless thing iv ever saw. That can also impact no new user sign ups because possible new users can't see there handset on the forum index where its meant to be. If admin wants just clone the forums in a different directory and let me at it to speed it up and organize it to make it cleaner
Thanks admin

Lets start :- 1) Redirecting
a) Search - When search for any reason is failing, redirect to an xda page with a google search engine and "xda" prefixed in front (will get same results as XDA search engine and mostly Google will be seldom down)
b) New User to a guidance page with agree button before redirecting back to posting panel for posting in specific forums​2) XDA Yellow Pages :- Directory - by xsenman​3) Announcements;- streaming banner or one line message about problems / announcements in "Announcements header". ( members will not get excited/irritated or make numerous posts concerning it when NO information is given about it.)​4) We want HTTPS by nikwen​will be added when more are in

Can add this one too -> Alternative to 10 post rule

[Q] Question re forum vs. subforum, subscribed vs. participated

I am not sure if the android app (I am using the premium app) is taking a different path than the XDA website... but there are things that are different between them and it is making it very difficult and confusing to seamlessly move from the app to the website, or back.
On the app, there is a sidebar with, among other items, a line that says "Subscriptions" followed by number in parentheses. Above that line there is a line/option for "Participated" .
If you select "Subscriptions", and you will get a list of Forums and Subforums you have subscribed to. It is easy to "Subscribe" to a forum (or subforum), as the dropdown menu has an option to Subscribe.
Before continuing, this is how I see the logical breakdown of forums, subforums and threads:
Forum (example HTC ONE (or VERIZON HTC ONE if it exists)) ==>
Subforum(example: HTC ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting) ==>​Thread(example: Help! I bricked my phone!!!).​
In the app, when you select "Participated" you are presented with every thread in which you have added a comment.
However, on the website, when I navigate to the forum (not a subforum) and I want to "Subscribe" to it, I cannot find any way to do so on that page (the main forum page). I notice however, that if you go to one a subforums (see example above), you have the option there to subscribe to that subforum. However, like the app, I would like to have quick access to all subforums for a particular device.
I have "subscribed" to them from the mobile app, but they are not showing up once I am at my laptop... the only subscriptions that appear anywhere (without having to go to a dedicated page with subscibed threads, etc.) is in the right sidebar under the three tabs entitled "MESSAGES THREADS FORUMS." Here (for me) it shows I am subscribed to one subforum that I accidentally subscribed to 3 years ago (from the app I believe). The app too, correctly shows I am subscribed to this subforum. But there is no where on the website that shows the Forums I am subscribed—which the app does (as described above).
With the number of forums for devices growing to several hundred why is there not just a way to create a bookmark to go directly to the forum that you have already added as a subscribed forum/a favorite??? I swear I think every time I have come to this webpage I have to navigate down past 90 devices to find the forum I want (google XDA XYZ Device works, but there should be a way on the forum landing page). A way to find "bookmarked' forums. I use the work bookmark" because using the word "subscribe" with "forum" is actually confusing. You already have an option to subscribe to a thread on the website (and the app). And further, a subscription to a thread will send you email updates when there have been new comments to that thread. However, you do not need email notifications to a forum, nor even a subforum... you just need a quick way to navigate to them.
Further confusing the "thread subscription" component of "subscribing" is that now the app has "Participated" (as mentioned above) which I find helpful as no action is required; it automatically allows you to quickly find a thread where you have contributed or asked a question. But this is not available (or easily locatable) on the website....
Can we get the ability to create a favorite or a bookmark to a Forum or Subforum?
I understand that subscribing to threads still makes sense as people may want to be notified or have quick access to a thread which is being updated, but in which they have not made a comment. I think we just need to add a new category to "favorite" or "bookmark" a forum or subforum, and then have threads subscribed to, and threads in which we have participated.
I think in the past few years (and you guys would know!) more people use the app than before... So I think by modifying things as set forth above, it will allow increased usability of XDA overall. XDA has always had to manage and structure/organize a huge amount of information... and I have always found it quite difficult.. Only recently with the options have I noticed more productivity (although I cannot say for certain how "recent" these changes are....
Either way, I hope you can make the app and the site consistent... and preferably let the app's above-mentioned features lead the way.
Thank you...

Wow, that's a lot of questions!
I definitely won't be able to answer them all at once, so I will just answer the ones I can.
1. In answer to the question "Where are the Participated threads on the website?", just do [your_username's_profile] > Statistics > See all posts by [your_username]. It does essentially the same thing as Participated does in the app.
EDIT- More answers to come... when and if I have time!
