After disableing the HTC Sense UI I no longer have a dialer. Is there a way to add the stock android dialer or really any other dialer while Sense is disabled?
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.

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!
I have been using CM 7 for a while now, but, one thing I miss the most from a Sense based Rom is the Smart dialer. I have tried Dialer One, It is Ok but it is quite as good as the stock sense dialer. Does anyone have a suggestion for a replacement Dialer?
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
