I am rooted and using CM6. If I remember correctly, in the stock Phone app you could start hitting the numbers and while you are typing on the top part, it would start scrolling names from your contact that may be a potential fit for what you have typed. The phone app with CM6 doesn't do this. Is there a way to use the stock phone app with cm6?
No, this function isn't supported with the AOSP dialer. There are probably some dialers on the Android Market that have this feature (though I'm not sure). To my knowledge, there is no way to mod the AOSP dialer to do this.

Hitting the search key allows for this, I never knew it but works quite well. Dialer one might help you too.
As far as typing numbers ... not sure. But names, thus numbers, are shown ...
Dialer one is often recommended though.

I stand corrected. That's not quite what the Sense dialer does, but it does the trick. Consider yourself thanked when I get to a computer.

Thx, I didn't know the search button did the name search in contacts.
I downloaded Dialer One and its just about there. It does do the name typing but it doesn't search if I type a number i.e. if I have a contact Elizabeth with phone 517-555-1212.. if I start by hitting "3" Elizabeth comes up but if I start by hitting "5" it doesn't.
But Dialer One seems pretty neat.. gonna try using it..
thank you

Last night I made the decision to use CM7 on my rooted device. Its working better than I expected. I don't miss any of the HTC bloat. Except one thing.
Before when I used the physical keyboard to type, there was this bar which appeared which gave me choices of words it thought I wanted and the ability to add custom words.
Is there a way of restoring this or a similar app I can use?

I dont think youcan get the htc keyboard in CM7, yet! I uae swiftkey from the market. The word prediction is awesome.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I second Swiftkey, its prediction is fantastic. The only options missing are having it not automatically insert a space after punctuation and having it not try to predict when typing numbers. The first isn't a big issue really, but if you type numbers a lot it gets annoying when it tries to guess what number you're typing.
Well i was here to add another vote for Swiftkey,.... but.... just tried the HTC IME,.... and it works fine,... with prediction in on the hardware keyboard. Note.... you may have to reboot or something as the prediction didnt work straight away,... hmmm... actuali, not working here either, but definitely working fine for sms. Search for HTC IME.
Huh?.... now it is working here. Odd.

Thanks all. After a search, now I knew what I was searching for, I found the solution. Still trying to get it to work properly though.

Apologies for not linking to it.
I have ticked all the boxes that relate to prediction in settings. ..... I have found that just pressing on the cursor with my finger before I start typing enables the predictions. Give that a try.
Yes! Excellent. That works everytime. Its annoying yes, but at least it works. Hope this problem is fixed soon.
Hey All,
I came from the miui rom on my DHD and one thing i loved about it i am missing in android 4.0.
when going to the dialer, and typing a number, it also did name searches.
Is this possible in 4.0 or did they fail by not building this simple feature?
example: dialing 2539 would bring up Alex from my contacts.
i dont wanne go in my contacts, then search, then call.
just type a few numbers to have it filter my contacts and immediately dial.
Thanks.
I miss this too... I know taht on older androids you can use Go dialer&Go contacts to get this functionality but don't know if work on ICS also I would like use stock dialer design but with this "T9" functionality...
unfortunately no..
this has been the behavior of the stock dialers in every AOSP rom.. very annoying!
Yeah, miss it too, very annoying! Was so much quicker before, having to do it this new way just feels slow and clunky.
Can you not search by contact numbers using the google search bar at the top? Im waiting for a replacement phone so I cant check but I thought they added that feature in ICS.
Mark.
I am currently using Dialer One purely for the T9 search feature, looks like CM9 will have it on board though: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10843
looks good

Please help.
I have been using CM7 and lately the BCM version of ICS. On BCM im missing functionality that i used to have when stock/CM7. I don't know what this functionality is officially called so hard to search for it etc. Its things like:
-On any app where there's text (not just text message editior/text editor etc) you can select it and then tap the selection to copy text to clipboard. (exists in CM7)
- On web browser just tapping a phone number brings up dial prompt, tapping an address goes straight to maps and searches for it. (wondeing if former is part of Sense, later might have been ICS??)
Anyone know the official names for this stuff and whether it will ultimately be supported in BCM?. I am perhaps niavely thinking CM9 would incvlude all functionality from CM7??

You are naively thinking this is the right subforum to post this into.
Very helpful.
Any constrcutive comments?
Cm9 is a work in progress, it will get more features, but copying all cm7 features wasn't the objective, they wanted to give a more polished presentation this time..........for such features, i say you wait for aokp ROM to do that, coz those guys pack the ROM with teeny tiny features, you can search for more info comparing cm9 aokp.....

Thanks Yasir, I'll take a look for that.
ok I just moved from a HTC sensation to the S III, I am really disliking the dialer. Now I am trying out GO DailerEx and it seems pretty good...BUT, when I am in a call it goes back to the samsung dialer until i end the call and hit the back button. Anyone know of a goo0d dailer that completely replaces the samsung junky one? Or know how to replace with Go SMS fully?
I think they all must do that. Same thing happens to me on exDialer
I think this is built into ICS+. I just upgraded from an OG Evo 4G and IIRC GoDialer was completely skinnable, it let me choose the answer/hangup button style, position, etc. Maybe we must wait for an update?
Non sequitur: Is it just me or does XDA have some of the most difficult image verifcations on the internet? I have to click refresh like fifteen times to get something that even resembles words.
The dialers are just that, dialers. They dial the number then let the built-in phone application handle the phone call. You would have to replace the system phone app completely.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda premium
Okay... Is that possible? Can they go dialer be cooked in to a rom and loose the Samsung crap completely or is there another all in one dialer/app?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
You know, I did set GoContacts, GoSMS, and the other Go apps as system apps using Titanium Backup. That was on Gingerbread though, so I make no guarantees. I haven't done it on ICS because there's been no issues with the Go apps dismissing notifications. The only way to remove them was the system remove dialog then a reboot after that.
I don't think setting them as system apps will do what you want. The best bet is to try to replace the samsung dialer with an AOSP one, but I'm not certain how you would do that.

Dialers on AOKP do the same. So no escape.
Just wonder why do you hate Samsung dialer? It's better than stock Android or AOKP.
Hi all,
Is there an alternative to the stock dialer for the SIII? Couple of things I don't like about the stock one if anyone knows any fixes for it that I'm not aware of.
When using the keypad to enter the name or number of the person you want to call, my old phone's dialer would suggest people or numbers based on recent or frequent calls so I can punch in a few letters or numbers and who I want to call would normally be at the top of the list and i can just click the name and it would call. The SIII doesn't seem to do that.
Also, this dialer seems pretty sluggish sometimes when working with dialer screens (dialing the chosen number, opening pull down menu, going between tabs, etc.).
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Yea man you type the first number(letter) it pulls a name and next to that name it shows an arrow pointing down with the list of names for that letter. Works great
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. Knew about the arrow thing but just looking for something more intuitive. When you open up the list of names there doesn't seem to be any logical order to it and the ones at the top are usually names I rarely call. You would think the most used or recently called names would be at the top. Plus my phone seems sluggish when trying to open that list of names.
Thanks,
Ho'okani
App store search for dialer will answer your questions.

My favorite is exDialer paired with exDialer ICS Theme. Both free ON Google Play.
Thanks. Trying out exDialer and seems to be pretty good so far.

Any AOSP rom for that matter, the dialer on AOSP roms are really good. But if you want to stay on the default rom, I'd +1 exdialer for its customization options and speed. I think there are modified stock roms with the AOSP dialer, but I'm not too sure/can't find them at the moment.
