Hi.
I'm have an HTC desire with oxygen 2.1.1 (android 2.3). I always change my dencity from 240 to 200, but unlike most 3td party apps, android apps does not fit its size to the current dencity. For an exemple the dialer pad. So I installed another dialer that does, but the phone still uses the stock dialer pad during calls.
Is there a way to fix or replace the stock phone.apk and contact.apk So that I have a working dialer pad during calls also?

Is it possible to replace the HTC dialer and the contacts app with the stock android one?
I like everything about the Sense based roms except the dialer and contacts app. My biggest problem is the lack of "favorites" section. I also find it takes fewer presses to call someone on the stock dialer.
I tried removing HTC dialer and contacts and pushing wysie's contacts by adb, with no success on VillainRom 3.3. It removed the HTC ones but Eris dump does not accept stock contacts.apk. I downloaded Dialer One from market, which is somewhat closer to stock app.
I am looking at buying an Arc, Neo or Ray but I need Smart Dialling.
I am new to Android. Do I need to be worried about the lack of smart dialling on the Xperia or can I just download a new dialler?
If I install a new dialler then will it launch from the standard Xperia UI dialler button or will I have to launch it like an app?
Are all 3rd party Smart Diallers pretty much universal in Android or would I need to ensure I got one that worked for the Xperia? (it is a slightly odd resolution).
Anyone running the standard ROM but with a custom Dialler? Which one?
Thanks for the replies
It turns out that the above devices have text search for contacts and SMS. So even though it is oddly missing from the dialler I guess you can achieve the same result from contacts (just without the convenient hardware button).
Try Go Contacts
I have been using Go Contacts for a while and it seems to be very stable and it work really well with my arc.
There are plenty of dialer available in market. Dialer one and go dialer are my favorite.
You will have to launch it like an app. If you use go launcher..you can even assign dialer app to standard icon.

Dialer One used to be the best T9 dialler, but it's become bloated and asks for way too many permissions.
I now use dialer2, which is fast, small and works perfectly well on my Arc (as does every other app i've tried - android apps tend to be pretty resolution agnostic).
If I install a new dialler then will it launch from the standard Xperia UI dialler button or will I have to launch it like an app?

The standard Xperia button is just a shortcut which launches an app. You can easily swap out shortcuts in the dockbar in the Xperia UI just by drag&drop, so it's a piece of cake to replace it.
Once you install a 3rd party dialer, any other apps which require a dialer will cause a pop-up screen to appear asking you to choose between the Xperia's stock dialer and the new 3rd party one. You can choose one of these to be the default and that will stop the popup from recurring.
Also check out TouchPal Dialer (from the makers of TouchPal Keyboard).
Ders also angel dialer...does a pretty good job..

Hello ,
Is there any way to increase the font size of the incoming call ID?
Meaning that for instance, when in car and the phone rings, it's difficult to read the number is the caller is unknown or the name of the caller without bringing the phone to a close distance. A friend of mine, owner of an Iphone, has much bigger font fot incoming calls that it's more convenient. I want to change only the incoming call ID font size, not the overall font size of the phone via spareparts.
Is there such a possibility ?

You could either edit the voicedialer file yourself or simply use a third party app. I prefer you to use the 2nd method.

Which third part app would you recommend? I had searched the Market, but could not find any suitable.
I'm not (never) using one but I can recommend you the Fullscreen Caller ID. The interface can be fully customized especially the font size.

Thanks pal, the HD Fullscreen Caller Id did that !
How can I change the default dialler for SGN so I can use Dialer one or Go Contact EX? it wont come up with the action request pop up.
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.
Hello mate
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I get stock!!
kinldy ask all readers/users for help. To disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks guys
Ciao

Try exdialer, it's an miui dialer with very fast startup and almost instant t9 search
