I hope that I am posting this in the correct sub-forum...
I installed go dialer on my rooted evo and set it on my launcher pro dock. Though it seems when I receive a phone call, it comes through myn's warmm 2.2 dialer instead of go dialer. When I go to settings>apps>manage>dialer, the clear defaults button is grayed out.
I was not asked to set the default dialer when i opened go dialer, and do not see any options in go dialer's settings to fix this.
What do?
Thanks.
try this... goto menu-settings-applications-all applications then find the stock dialer, click it, and then if you can, click on the "clear defaults" button, that should stop the phone from thinking that the stock dialer is the default one, and prompt you on which dialer you want to use when u hit the phone button
EDIT: sorry re-read the post... and see that u have already tried that....so if you go to ur app list... and click godialer. it doesn't ask you if you want the default. are you sure that your shortcut is pointed to go dialer?
The "incoming call" feature is a part of the sense dialer. It won't go away. You only use Go Dialer to make outgoing calls and look through your call history pretty much. If you're referring to after a phone call it drops you back into the sense dialer, that's unavoidable at this point as far as I know with Go Dialer.

I don't have any experience with go dialer and sense, but in Salvage-Mod it drops me back to Go Dialer after a call (it asked me once and I set it to the default).
But otherwise, in call, my screen is the AOSP gingerbread dialer, I don't think Go Dialer even has an in-call screen.
Yes, I believe this is not fixable as its the Sense dialer taking control.
boo.
I fixed it by using the paid version of "Not Call Log" and Go Dialer.
Nothing else worked. I tried all the free versions of the 'fixes' and they all stopped working or only had partial success.
Man, the stock Streak dialer is one UGLY beast. Bleh!
It was worth $1.00 to me.
Select "Contacts" instead of "Dialer" in Settings > Applications > All
Clcik "Clear defaults" then go home and press dial button.

I fear this is wrong; the "Clear defaults" button is dimmed here also on my 2.3.6 Samsung Galaxy Note. Did you try it out? Additionally, it sound like it would only apply to outgoing calls, not to incoming calls!
Thanks your suggestion worked.

I have the same problem so I ended going back to MikMik 3.11 rom flashed inverted theme and then installed ADW Launcher with ICS theme and then V6 supercharge, my Evo 4G is super responsive and fast.
Also I think since I'm using ADW Launcher as default the Sence framework does not load so you cannot get many of their widgets. I get similar widgets I use HD widgets, Pro Widget.
ICS roms are becoming much more stable now but the camera issue and no 4G are always the reason I go back to MikMik 3.11/Anthrax kernel. All I need from ISC rom is the email widget but have not been able to find any similar ones in the market.
So try MikMik 3.11 then use a different launcher.
If this help click Thank you button, I only have 1 so far.
OK Later.
it worked for me

I am running Myn's Warm 2.2, and I can't tell if this is a ROM issue or what, but when I run widgetlocker, I have a custom slider going to my SMS inbox. I dont use the default messaging app, I use handcent/go sms, but whenever I use widgetlocker to the sms inbox, it automatically opens the default app, and gives no options for the other one's.
Any ideas of what to do?
P.S. I also edited some of the .png's, dont know if that could be the issue?
Wow...2 days and no response...have you made your new messaging app the default in the system?

Is it possible the SMS slider is pointing to the "Messages" app inbox specifically? In contrast to pointing to the system default value for your assigned SMS app?
I think it may be, because the only way to get it to slide to the app i want without using the ugly shortcut of the app itself is to delete the mms.apk. But go sms doesnt show notifications w/o the stock apk. Is there a way to change it to point to the system default? I get nbo option to make an app the default through widgetlocker?
Thanks for finally responding and trying to help guys
how do I make an app the default in the system?
I sent an email to the dev, and linked him to this thread, so maybe he will post the answer here. If not, i will, just in case this issue shows up in the future.
Android's handling of the app defaults is awkward, hence the various apps on the market (including my HomeSmack) to help switching between default Home programs.
The only way to set a default app as of 2.2 is to launch it in a generic way* when there is no default set. Then you'll get the list with the checkbox to set it as a default.
So really what you need to do is clear the default, then slide the SMS slider in WidgetLocker. You should be able to clear the default by:
System Settings > Applications > All Applications > Messaging (Or whatever current default app is) > Scroll down and click Clear Defaults.
Note, you want the Clear Defaults button, not the Clear Data button.
However some vendors might set their app at a higher priority making it impossible to change the default.
The coming update for WidgetLocker will allow you to select an app shortcut and then independently change the icon. Either to your own, or one of the WidgetLocker built in slider icons.
*For the curious:
Code:
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
intent.setType("vnd.android-dir/mms-sms");
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
startActivity(intent);

Has anyone ever told you they love you? Cause I do....awesome app too!
Sent from God, who uses CM7 RC1.
I love you so much lol.
So is there a way to use that last part so I can direct the slider myself or should I just wait it (i hope short) out?
Thanks so much again for responding

I'm running 2.0 and the functionality is indeed there. However I would just recommend deleting the slider off and then re-adding it and using a shortcut. Don't know if that helps, as I highly doubt that it will show the number of unread messages.
Hey Kevin I love the app but I keep having a few problems maybe you can help.
I'm on CM7 nightly #5 and widgetlocker slows it down significantly. I also keep running into the problem of all my Widgets disappearing randomly and never coming back. The background is still there but its blank.
Love the app. Thanks

I'm also having the problem of Widgets dissappearing.... happens after upgrading to a new nightly or after a random reboot..... being able to backup settings would be very helpful.....

Off topic, but for what it's worth, I'm having terrific results with WL in combination with an app called "No Lock" which disables the stock lock screen. No Root necessary.
I am rooted though running SkyRaider and now Warm 2.2 with Sense 2.0. I was always having problems with WL locking up my screen when the cpu got going and I was turning my screen on and off a lot quickly. Lots of black screens and such but never any problems without WL. So I run "No Lock" and WL runs perfectly.
Off topic, but good info and testing none the less.
Im currently using cm7 rc4 and loving it. I was using miui for the last 6 months, it was great till it started rebooting twice a day. I also used calkins before that.
The only thing I miss from those roms is the search function in dialer. Where you select the letter you want from the dial pad and it sorts through the names in your contacts. I hate having to scroll through several hundred names. The favorites is close, but still not close enough to what Im looking for.
Thanks
Try "go contacts" in the market or "dialer one".

Sent from my HTC Hero CDMA using XDA App
Thanks, tried dialer one, it works perfect.
Its a trade off. In the aosp dialer you can hit the search button to search contacts. You can do this in dialer one and go contacts but they don't search through all fields of contact info like the stock app does. If you're like me and store job titles and company names with your contacts this can be a useful feature. I myself have come to rely on it. Its just pressing 1 extra button.
thanks for the tip on dialer one, but man is it ugly!
edit: go contacts is much nicer! i didn't even try it because of the +1 post for dialer one.
Dialer one has several color schemes for the background. In addition, you can customize colors of nearly everything on the screen (digits, letters under digits, contacts, 2nd row under contacts, etc..)
Although I use gosms, go contacts didn't appeal much to me..
Go contacts is SWEET. Go devs know what they're doing.
I would love if CM7 added this
Just download Go contacts. Works just as well as the Sense Dialer. Also, hitting the hardware search key on the AOSP dialer will do it to. Inconvenient, but still just one click away.
I installed a new dialer on my Arc. Please advise how to set it as default, thanks.
go into the applications menu in settings and find the stock dialer app.. select clear defaults, next time you select to royal a contact it will ask you which app to use.

Not 100% sure, but it could be a part of the contacts app.. try clearing defaults in there..won't do any harm if I'm wrong!

Which third party dialers do folks recommend? I'm really missing the HTC dialer which will lookup numbers if you start typing in either a name or number, the SE xperia arc dialer is just pants.
I am using " Go Dialer", it work just fine with intelligent dialer and possible to change theme outlook
Was using dialer one for a while, and it was great. Then the app got updated and all of a sudden required permissions for just about everything on the phone - didnt trust the author, so uninstalled.
Currently using... um... dialer2, which from the name i'm guessing is a response to the bloatware and permissions creep of dialerone. It's a nice simple fast t9 dialer, it's free, and it works great.
Touchpal dialer works best for me.
Sent from my arc or optimus 2x
Thanks folks! let me check these out!
Go Contacts is the best and I think I tried all. They have different themes and the default Go Theme goes well with Arc's dark blue colors. It will be even better if someone can develop a theme for this dialer which will make it look exactly like Arc dialer.
@piercewei
Did you manage to find the stock dialer app in the end? Which one is it? As I'm also having trouble finding it. The contacts app on my phone doesn't have clear defaults button enabled.
Tried to set rocketdial as default instead of "contacts" .. doesnt do the trick.
Cant find any "default" dialers at all on xperia arc.
How do you guys really do when you change the dialer? do you live with the stock dialer at incoming calls and during calls?

I'd really want to know the answer to this question! I'm struggling with the same problem with Xperia Pro.
The Sony Ericsson default dialer sucks, but I'm unable to make a third party dialer THE DEFAULT dialer.
Any help would be useful!
How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.
Hi
I hope someone can help me with the problem I've got with Go Launcher Ex.
When I go into the Preferences of Go Launcher Ex and open Visual Settings, I noticed that just under where it says Visual Settings, it now says "Partial Interface". The sections under Visual Settings are now just Background, Icon, Font and Indicator, I'm sure the sections were different before, I'm sure there was a section about Go Locker but that's gone now. I don't know what's happened to the Visual Settings and why it now says "Partial Interface" when I open it.
I have uninstalled both Go Launcher Ex and Go Locker, then I reinstalled them both but that made no difference, the problem is still there.
Has anyone else had this problem, if so, do you know what's caused it and whether it can be sorted out?
Please help. Thank you.
Best wishes

There are 3 tabs on the menu dialog box...
I have had GO Launcher EX for about 5 days now, my visual settings menu has always been just as you describe.
In order to do any settings changes on GO locker, I do Menu>Plugins tab>Go Locker>Settings

Hi
Thanks for replying to my post and letting me know you have the same Visual Settings.
I have recently found out that the changes were made by the GO app devs and that it's not a problem as I first thought.
Thanks again.
