sense dial pad search on cm7

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".

+1 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.

Sense Widgets on CM7?

hi!
I'm currently using Revolution, and tried out CM7 for a bit.
The only thing that bothers me about CM7 are the following;
No people widget, the dialer is not too good (no T9 to search for people).
Other than that, I can't no reason that Revolution is better than CM7.
What I'm asking is, are there Widgets that can replace the sense's people widget, and dialer so that I can search quicker for the person I want to call?
Thanks!

There are widgets on the Market that can replace nearly everything from Sense.
Concerning dialer, that's the only thing keeping me on Sense. There simply isn't a perfect dialer out there that suits my needs. They either: cannot search accented characters, cannot search spaces, cannot search in the middle of a name, cannot search with numbers and names at the same time, ugly as hell, slow as hell, have some weird bugs that bother me. Simply put: I tried each and every one of them out there and ALL of them have one or more of issues listed. HTC Dialer is far from perfect, but at least its issues are balanced out.

Can you point me to the right direction regarding the widgets from market? So far I've not found one that is good enough for me =(

if your on cm7, download launcher pro from the market and buy the plus pakage. it comes with calendar, sms, twitter, facebook gmail scrolling widgets thats resemble sense's widgets. you can even find themed versions in the android general thread

[Q] Smart Dialler

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..

[SLOVED] Galaxy Nexus change the default dialer?

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

[Q] Stock Dialer on 551?

Anyone got the Stock Lollipop dialer and contacts working with the 551 that come with Nexus devices or CM?

I have ripped GoodleDialler and GoogleContacts apk from my old Galaxy S4 Google edition rom and made a flashable zip.
Flashed it in recovery and than froze default Asus Dialler.
Seems to be working, but its bit weird.
When you open dialler it's minimized (you can see strange recent calls log screen). At the bottom there are minimised Speed Dial , Recent and Contact Tabs. I need to swipe up to see them
Also when searching contacts the Google id search thingy is not working (like you type pizza and it should find closes pizzas places based on your location...)
And contacts photos are not right - first 30% of photo is ok than its distorted.
I have received and made phone calls fine.
