yeah with the samsung dialer ,if you lose the screen during conversation, its hard to hang up. I need to open up another dialer and call new number then end call.

You can end a call from the status bar. Just pull it down when a call is in progress

If you have a blank screen press the on-off button to restore screen... works for me.

Yes I miss iconsoft as well. I had it on my touch HD and loved it. The stock dialer on samsung is like a joke. Its pretty amateurish.
For full screen caller id search it in the market. There is an app which does that. I use it and like it a lot. Its a paid app by the way ~3.99$

It ´d be a good ideia if we could port HTC Dialer...

NEWBIE Question (YES I DID A SEARCH FIRST!)

Is it possible to change the outgoing font for emails? I send a lot of email for work & sometimes need to get a point across or highlight information. I'd like to be able to change the sent font on my EVO.
Does anybody know if this is possible? I've scoured the settings menu and haven't found anything...maybe I wasn't looking hard enough?
I have Search throughout this forum and nothing.
Thanks in advance.

Nope, using the HTC app it looks like you can only change the font size.

is there an app that might let me do this? (bold text, Underline, Etc...

[Q] How to change notification vibrate pattern?

I want to change the notification vibrate pattern so its not so long. I'm not talking about using a 3rd party app to change an sms vibrate pattern. I am looking for a way to change this at the base of the rom so any notification, whether it be for email or other apps like wordfeud, it will be my custom pattern. So if anyone knows what file I need to edit I would really appreciate it!
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App

can anyone please help me out with this? i tried looking thru the rom but couldn't really find which file i'm looking for...
does anyone know if it takes editing an xml? or maybe build.prop? or framework-res? i have chompsms custom vibrate pattern to what i want it to be but i would like my regular notifications (wordfeud, google voice, gmail, facebook, etc) to be the same as my chompsms custom vibrate pattern but without using a 3rd party app because those are usually limited to phone calls and sms notifications.

Not sure where this can be set in the ROM itself, but I do know you can use Tasker to vibrate any pattern you want whenever you have a new notification (along with other things). Not as clean a solution as being able to change the default vibrate pattern (and Tasker is a paid app), but if you can't find anything else, could be a solution...

try sms popup, it isnt anything like chomp or handcent simply because all it is notfication and a really simple popup window. you can set the vibrate pattern, change the blink rate of the LED and change the icon. its really nice and i think youll find it great. there isnt a different inbox like chomp. its free in the market

Check out "led me know".
It does a lot of what you've mentioned on a "per app" basis.

Is the SIP Switch Widgetwhat you're searching for?

Dial by name?

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.

Yea I'm sure it works but I'd rather not announce who im calling to the whole room sometimes... dial by voice has its benefits but its just not for me I guess..

I'm also using exContacts along with Desktop VisualizeR to replace the stock dialer/contacts launch icons. That way it looks stock but opens the extools.

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.
