[Q] How do I port Sense dialer to vanilla/MIUI? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I love everything about vanilla and MIUI except the dialers. I use the T9 searching on the sense dialer (which is the only reason i use sense) to dial numbers every day. I have tried Market dialer replacements and they are not great. Could i just extract the sense dialer APK? or is there more to it than that? Instruction is appreciated :-\

bump for this thread. I am also looking for a way to get the sense dialer installed on my cyanogen mod release. This is the only thing useful to me in sense.

Can I assume both of you have tried Dialer One in the market? I suppose visually it may not be quite as nice as the sense dialer, but functionally it is far superior to most anything out there.

The answer is no. you can't use a sense dialer on aosp. There is a whole lot more to the sense dialer than just the apk. Too many other files. I suggest ray dialer. free from market. Also in the realm of MIUI we will have t9 dialer in todays release...

+1 on Dialer One. I miss the built-in speed dial and predictive 'pre dial' capability from stock Sense ROMs. This free app does a superb job of replacing that functionality. It also replaces the dialer in the ROM when it is set as the default.

Can't get that to work (replace the default dialer) how did you do that? EDIT: found it!
I'm using Youlu Address Book and CM6.1 and what I did was dropped a shortcut to Youlu on the desktop, then if you pick it up and drop it in place, you can set a custom icon for it (I chose the phone icon from the Gingerbread icon pack I'm using for ADW Launcher). Then I dropped it down on the favorites bar.

Stock aosp dialer?

Is there a way to replace a sense dialer with a aosp dialer? If so how can someone link me to the dialer, as far as installing would you delete the sense dialer and replace it with the aosp dialer. Also would there be a problem syncing social networking contacts to an aosp dialer on a sense rom? I deleted sense from ava 10, am running aosp boot animation and also the aosp lockscreen.

there is a dialer in market called youlu that looks like aosp dialer not the prettiest skin but work on all roms you incall screen is still sense use remap rosie to change dialer button
I would think that the only way to get the actual aosp dialer would be to run a remove sense script. If you're gonna do this you should just get an aosp rom. Also, with the social network integration, the aosp dialer has some, but not nearly as much as sense so if you want that I would stick with sense.
I just asked the opposite question.. I like the sense dialer more then the AOSP dialer.. too funny.. to each their own..

[Q] Question to all you rom freaks out there

Hey Guys and Girls,
I love roms,I am always flashing new ones but I have an idea and I need help getting it.So I like sense but love gingerbread,the thing i love about sense is the lock screen where i can drag the apps to the bubble.Thats pretty much it,so I want to have gingerbread as my actual home screen,app screen,and for my keyboard.I know this sounds pretty crazy but can anyone help me find a rom or apps that can help my obtain this.Answers to this quetion would be very appreciated
install a sense rom then install a launcher from the market

Agile lock from the market is a nice sense 3.0 lockscreen clone. Its still inferior as the software is a little edgy and there aren't any sms previews like the sense 3.0 one has. I currently use this with CM7 along with sms popup from the market and it works great.
Otherwise download a stable sense rom with the sense 3.0 lockscreen (Nils Gingersense, Synergy) and use a different launcher.
There's also SupraROM which is an AOSP Sense 3.0 mix, but I'm not sure if it has the sense lockscreen.

I know when I ran MIUI about a month ago there was a Sense ring lockscreen you could install in Theme Manager. The downside was I couldn't figure out how to pick what apps other than the ones it gave you. Maybe that's changed, not sure there.

Ah right, I forgot about this option.
I do believe that they can be changed. You have to edit a text file though so its not as easy as HTC makes it. There's a MIUI lockscreen thread with a few of those sense ring lockscreen alternatives. However they all have one thing in common: when releasing the ring, the screen immediately unlocks. No cool "fly through the ring" effect.

Div033 is correct on the MIUI sense 3.0 lockscreens, they look pretty much identical but lack the fancy animation.
I'm not sure what the OP means by this:

By gingerbread, do you mean the stock AOSP look? Because if so, you could use agile lock on CM7, like has already been mentioned, or maybe try the synergy rom with the warm theme. It has the sense 3.0 lockscreen but is themed with quite a few AOSP gingerbread elements.

[Q] sense contacts,dialer,call log on cm7

As the title says...is it possible? I really like CM7, its faster, cleaner ...etc. but i'm addicted to sense contacts,dialer,call log..
yes, its possible, but it won't be sense, rather sense like.
yes yes, only this i really want from sense...how can i do that ?
You cannot use sense things in AOSP roms. If you want sense things, use sense. Stop, full stop, finish!
I too have moved from Sense to aosp, and found that, while some features can be replicated with other apps, others are impossible. I've managed to recreate the functionality(even the looks in some cases) for: clock widget, lock screen, contacts widget, agenda widget. The other day I've found an app called ex dialer. It looks very simillar to MIUI. It looks better than the asop version of the same apps. By using a custom launcher, you can re-create icons. With cm7 theme manager you could even apply a sense like theme.
I've tried a few Sense ROMs and was deterred by some lagginess. I'm currently using Revolution 2.0 DATA++ and I'm very happy with it.
I agree CM7 is fast as is Oxygen, but like you I prefer the Sense bits. Others I know hate it. To each his (or her) own!

Sense dialer has no alternative, bar none. On top of that, alternative dialers have no permission to clear notification bar icons (ie. missed calls) on Gingerbread.

is that true? is it because sense is that much integrated in android? It's a pitty since this is the only thing that annoys me quite a lot when using cm7 for example. I think there is no proper dialer available that is as good and I found it quite weird that the dialer in stock is so limited!

[Q] What stock app have you replaced in ICS?

All,
Just wondering what stock app have you replaced in ICS? ie sms, launcher, dialer, browser... and why?
I'm trying to stay pure ICS and so far I'm digging what came with ICS but just curious what everyone has replaced on their phone. Not even gonna root.."YET"
Thanks!
None, ICS's stock apps are great.
Only thing I have replaced if the music app, I find it a bit ugly, especially the widget. So I'm using Ubermusic

For me, I only replaced the stock keyboard with Swiftkey X....though I wish Swiftkey X can use the Voice to txt like stock.
Dialer with exdialer + ICS theme.
Why? The dialer stinks, does't have t9 name lookup.
Even entering a number does't suggest numbers matching the pattern.
exdialer fixes all this, and with the ICS theme maintains the UX
I use ADW EX Launcher, because I'm so used to it and I want my appdrawer to scroll vertically. Another benefit is that ADW can backup and restore its settings and that comes in handy, if you have to factory reset the GN.
Not (yet) rooted by the way.
The stock music app does not find my music, so I installed PowerAMP and that works just fine.

+1 my friend. I'm so used with the sense dialer and really missed t9 lookup. Now it's better.
I also replaced stock launcher with Nova Launcher. It's almost identical with the original, but has much more functionality.
Music ---------------> POWER AMP.

Been using Go SMS Pro because of T-Mobile's MMS issues: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386797
I've only swapped the default messaging app for gosms pro. More notification options. It let's me set the LED notification color, change the vibrate pattern and a few other things.

[Q] Stock dialer, contact app?

I'm using the newest FrostyJB ROM and I like it. Stock with enhancements.
However, I don't like the Samsung dialer/contact manager app.
Is there a way I can flash the stock JellyBean one?
I don't think AOSP Dialer and Contact will work without edits done to them.
I remember a dev for the Vibrant community ported the GingerBread AOSP Dialer and Contacts to our TouchWhiz ROMs, so it's probably possible.
Just need the right person to do it.
You can always try Google Play apps, just make sure not to delete your native ones.
well, if you like the Gingerbread contacts and dialer you'll find that the exDialer is pretty close to that
and you could also change the preferences in it so it would fit even more - slide left\right for call\sms
hope it helps
