Hi,
I am not sure if this is the correct forum for such a question, but I'm just shooting in the wild here. Please suggest to move it if not the right forum.
What I would like to know is that are there any replacement apps for the caller/caller ID for CM7. This is the screen that you see after you've dialed the number (or getting a call): with bluetooth, spkr, dialer, end call there. I don't know what it is exactly called, but I would like to know if there are any apps that replace it?
I'm using Go Launcher EX and everything looks so nice and smooth until you dial the number and a ugly stock Android screen with a small picture stares at you.
Your suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks.
Maybe You coud try Go contacts

Its called the "dialer". Just search "dialer" on the Market, and you will find a bunch of replacement dialers. And as mentioned above, Go Contacts is a good one. Go apps are well done, and Go Contacts has lots of themes, so you can tailor the appearance to your liking.

1. In my "contacts" section, I am missing three people (my girl and two close friends). Discovered pretty quickly that they are in my "favorites" section in the stock CM7 dialer. The strangeness comes when I remove them from my favorites, they don't return to my general contacts listing. I don't want to make a new entry for these people and have hella doubles in my synced google contacts, am I doing something wrong? Is this a bug of some kind?
2. I can't seem to find a way to "link" contacts like I used to be able to in Sense, but perhaps that was just a nicety of Sense. If there's no way, I'll just have to do some painstaking contact maintenance and clean it up for good.
Thanks in advance for the help
1. Confirm your settings under Menu->Display Options. It may not be showing all of your contacts by default. Make sure to check the actual gmail/other accounts to see if groups are unchecked..
2. Edit a contact, then press Menu->Join.

AWESOME. I kept searching in "settings," completely overlooked display options as if it weren't even there! Thank you, all problems solved!
Does anyone know how, or if it's even possible, to change the sms bubble color? They picked some of the worst colors for stock. Also, I am rooted. And yes I tried the search function first, but it is down at the moment so please don't flame me.
Download alternative sms app from the market or else you will have to theme it by yourself.
My favorite sms app is Go dev sms app. Go check it out.
I've tried some other sms apps but I actually like the stock one. I guess I'll have to do some research, but is it very hard to theme it on your own?

Don't worry mate, you posted in the right section and this is a rarely covered topic (in fact its one I battled with back on the Epic 4G). To answer your question, yes and no. Having never delved into the TW Messaging app I have no idea if you'd simply have to create and replace an image file or if we're talking massive edits. My advice would be to get a program like WinZip or 7zip and open the messaging apk with it. Look around for the images related to the bubbles and see if replacing them works.
Are there any apps/mod around that stretches the contact picture to fit the screen during an incoming/outgoing call? It is available in the X10, but not anymore in the Arc.
I've seen many apps that stretches the contact pictures, but they require reapplying of my contact pictures, and uses their caller instead of the stock. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks.
Search "Smart Caller Id" in the market. Itz free and compatible with Arc.
Thanks, but it's not really what I am looking for. After accepting outgoing/incoming calls, it goes back to the small contact picture. Also, I prefer the stock sliders.
Basically, what I am looking for is something that ONLY stretches the contact picture like in the X10, instead of the small square we are having now.
just wait until ICS releases for the xperia lineup, it'll have full resolution contact photos including the ones from Facebook integration.
Simply create a copy of your contact and associate then with the phone itself instead of any other account, then store the image you want for them in that contact.
Hope this helps as it works for me in .58 ROM
Full Screen Caller ID from the market. Its like $4 but it works like a charm

Go to facebook, go to the profiles, save the pictures one by one, transfer all of them to the SD, unmount, go to contacts app, asociate each photo with each contact, one by one. That what he said.

From my point of vie to have the full picture in dialler has to have something mod on the dialler itself. If i try to allocate a picture, no matter from where, sd card, facebook, the dialler shows only what it has in the programming language, i mean only half of the display. Dispite of this all other diallers like full screen caller id or else has his own programmed dialler to support in it. Not to include in stock dialler.
For short: somebody could modify the stock dialler or framework or else in order to have stock dialler showing full picture on dial someone or receive a call??
Hope i am not wrong.
Just got myself a GN and I was a bit disappointed with the dialer.
With my old phone I could just spelling the name of a contact and the dialer would list contacts.
GN just puts in the numbers no direct search ??
Is it some option or something I am missing or do I need another dialer??
Love the feel of it just wish I did not have to go to contacts to find a number...
The stock dialer does not support T9 Smart dial. Either use another dialer, or use the google search bar to search for the contact you want to call.
Or spend a minute amount effort and tap the search icon in the bottom left of the dialer then start typing the name. It's not really much time wasted...

I also wish the T9 dialer was built into stock Android as it is with HTC Sense, Touchwiz and MIUI.
If you would like Google to change this, star the following threads in the Android issue tracker:

While it may not be much more effort, it is quite clear that this feature is available in other stock dialers, then why not in google's own?
I also store my contacts on the sim card and if anyone has noticed, then you cannot import all contacts into phone at once. You have to manually go through all contacts which again is a sore point.
I think that is a valid point to expect in the dialer, not whether searching seperately is an option or not!

Why not synchronise your contacts with google, so if you:
1. lose your phone.
2. Phone gets broken
3. Somebody steals it
it only takes 2 minutes before you have all your contacts again.
There are a lot of Contacts apps around on the market, and i bet even 1 of them supports transferring your sim contacts to the phone.
Earlier i used GO Contacts, but they don't support ICS yet. So for now im using DW Contacts (looks ok, only used it for an hour though).

Yes and accepted, but that behaviour has been standard all along. Rather than make me select one contact at a time from my hundred contacts, that one simple click would have been better. Anyways I prefer not to upload contacts into the cloud because
1. I may not have the consent of some of the ppl that I hold details for, e.g. bosses and they may not prefer it and
2. I personally do not know who or how this data is used/accessed in which case I would rather not. And personally judging by Google's appetite for gathering our personal data, I would rather opt out. Its just me....
Sorry OP to have hijacked your thread..
Correction - User error Apologies, I have just read the manual and it does allow for an 'import all' option to copy all contacts from SIM to phone.
To bad wish they would put that in its a very nice feature I seen no reason to be left out.
Anyone know a good dialer to use instead ?? Would love one with the same look if possible ???
Perhaps it is some sort of lawsuit infringement that prohibits them to build it into the dialer. I don't think Apple has this either, right? Maybe Microsoft has the patent on it.
3rd party dialers have this feature. In fact, I just install the MIUI dialer because it is just awesome. It is in the market and not listed under "MIUI Dialer" but "e9" or something. It works great.
[Update]
exDialer
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5tb2Rvb2h1dC5kaWFsZXIiXQ..
Has a white and black theme.
Do you have the problem with it not clearing unanswered calls ???

I know from gingerbread that 3rd party apps can't clear unanswered calls. Some if the apps solves that by using the stock dialer list when selecting the notification.
Anyway its limitations in the OS and not the apps.

Heyyyy all
I am on miracle rom and the contacts app came with that lacked a lot of features which I really need on my phone
Like copying the phone number of a contact.. For that I had to select the contact edit it and then holding on the number and copy which of course is a pain
Also the contact search is >options> search.. and I want a bar on the top for speed
And when you shut the app (press back button) the app opens fresh as in... it does not open with the last searched name which is very impt for me
So to overcome all this I got go contacts
This is a good app but a ram hogger and laggy and ui is old school even with the themes
So I am looking for a contacts apk with the above features
In a nutshell
Fast
Search bar
Good UI
Number copying capabilities
Calling ppl from the name list instead of going into their profile
And many more but these are the major ones
Pls share your app and it's features
