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.

my problem is I couldnt find the stocked dialer in application menu...
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!

This worked! Ive been trying unsuccessfully on my MT3G without any luck. Doing this fixed it all. Thanks for the suggestion!
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.

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.

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 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
hey is it possible to speed up the phone dialer and messaging apps? i mean the **** is way too slow wen i open each of them up. well actually the phone dialer is the worst 1. anything but third party apps would help.
Try exdialer, it's an miui dialer with very fast startup and almost instant t9 search

Is there any way to outfit the Jellybean keyboard with emojis support like on the iPhone? Currently I can only use emojis in SMS and MMS running codename with a quick emoji button enabled.

You'd have to either get a themed keyboard or download a different keyboard from the playstore
If you have the AOKP ROM, in the Messaging App, you can turn on Emoji's and use them just like the iPhone. You can also insert them.

I'm running codename and I have that enabled and have a button on then side to insert without the need to go into the menu. However I'm interested in something that's universal and could be used with any app such as instagram and Facebook.

I dont know any personally, since I dont really use emoticons, but the one that comes to mind is the go keyboard, it has an emoji plugin, which i think should be what you are after
Hi,
I dont't like Sonys Dialer, Contacts and Incall apps. Is it possible to replace them with Androids original apps?
I tryied it yesterday and could replace Phone and Contacts but the Incall app stayed stock. I couldn't replace it.
Is it possible? How can I do it?

You're gonna need to root your phone for something like this to work. My suggestion would be to just skip the original ROM entirely and just install AOSP or CM11.
