Hi all,
I'm looking for a dialer apo to replace the stock dialer, since the Samsung stock one doesn't even have a proper T9 dialing option.
I have tried ExDialer, and it's really good but it doesn't show Facebook profile pics in the dialer.
Does anyone know of any better dialer apps that are fast and functional?
Thanks.

Few things that come to mind:
- Dialer One
- RocketDial
- Go Contacts
- Touchpal Contacts
Let us know how you get on.
Dev Team
im currently using dev team stuff such as:
go sms
go contacts
go keyboard
go dialer
im pretty much using the same thing as you but if you install AOKP rom, it should fix your problem with the face book contacts thing as its part of the features for the rom
let me know how you go
Ex Dialer is awesome now
Dialer ONE it's my favorite
Dialer one for sure.....

Thanks guys for the replies, but I tried each one of them and NONE can pull FB pics into the dialer!
They're there in the contacts and even in the stock dialer but they simply don't show up in any of these custom apps! Other pics like google pics etc show up though....
Does it work for you? Am I doing something wrong here?
Am using hax sync. It works fine and fb pics show up on exdialer.

Ok.
How does hax sync integrate with the stock contacts? Is there another tab for it like Facebook and whatsapp or does it just sync the photos within the fb account?

Its just like another fb or whatsapp account. It also syncs high res images which is nice and in the options you can choose to have htc style notes on your google account contacts so that when you do a full wipe and re sync it remembers the linked contacts.

ex dialer
I have used almost all the available dialers and to date found the Ex dialer to be the most user friedly one with good themes as well. Its a matter of personal preference too. For someone like me the main thing is not to have to stretch my thumb to the top of the screen to press buttons specially in S3 which is bigger. All the relevent common buttons are in the lower field. Even the search button of the contacts in ex. Go dialer is also very good but for me cannot beat the Ex dialer.
If helpful ...press thanks
I believe u should go for....
- go dialer
- ex dialer
These are the best options....

Thanks for the explanation. Since it's a paid app, I just wanted to confirm.
So this app syncs phone numbers and other details too? After installing this can I completely disable the normal Facebook sync app?

I don't think it syncs contact numbers. Only pictures. For me, thats what was important as I have telephone numbers on my Google contact list for most of my fb contacts. And it syncs status updates as well. So if you click on a contacts update in hax sync it takes you directly to the contacts page on the facebook app in your phone. I have disabled contact sync on my fb phone app.

Hi there
I once saw someone's screenshot of their ui and they had their contacts with big pictures. They said they changed the DPI. How do I do this? I am using paranoidkangdroid.
Thanks

I may be mistaken, but I believe those are contacts that have been starred. Try viewing a contact, tap the star on the top right and see if it provides what you'd like. Please share if this is what you were looking for.

Not sure I know exactly what you are asking after reading other replies.... But if you want to change the dpi that's done in the ROM settings or system settings under UI.

Well the obvious solution would be to favorite all of your contacts, but that's far from ideal.
As for a legitimate solution, I am not aware of one as of now. I'll share if I come across one.

In main directory (SD card or device) create folder called Media then subfolder Audio then subfolders alarms-notifications-ringtones. then add your desired tones to folders and go to settings - tones and assign tones (ringtone, sms etc) for email you must open app and do it from settings.

There is no option in settings to assign a custom text tone for a single contact, only ringtones, thats why I created this thread to see if there was a workaround.
Thanks anyway.

Yup, one of the downsides, imo, of the stock messaging. You may not like Handcent, but there are others. Handcent has been my go-to replacement, as the others just didn't feel right. It does have emoji support, too, which is great when you have friends on ios; it's a free plugin on the market.

Actually, check your contacts. There is a custom ringtone, and right under that is a notification option to choose your custom sound.

Just been reading some reviews on the play store and it looks like the latest update has broken the app. Will wait for a while I think.

First, I take no credit for creating these beautiful backgrounds (that belongs to the photographers / cgi wizards / illustrators).
Originally I cropped all the wallpapers but in retrospect they only needed to be re-sized.
I've taken down the cropped images and uploaded the best ones uncropped. I would recommend
deleting the cropped images and getting these instead.
Thumbnail links go directly to full 1536 x 1280 image.
Click thumb, image opens in a new tab, long press to save, set wallpaper from gallery.
Enjoy..........
Thanks!!
Edit, never mind
Awh man. On the XDA app when I click save on the thumbnail its extremely low res

Oops, forgot to mention that. When downloading from phone, click thumb, new tab opens with image, long press to save, then it'll be in gallery.

If you tap the thumbnail you want, it should open a new tab with the image. Then if you long press that image, you can save it.

If you're rooted & using adfree, maybe that affects the download. I'm not sure why it's not working.
Oh well, you could always download on pc and transfer. They're all high quality and worth the trouble.
I just added 13 more so I hope you're able to get them.
I'm looking for the wallpaper from the AOSPA 4.2.2. ROM. Do you have it? Can you post it?

This works for me. Does the gallery crop these? It kinda looks like it when I try to set it as my wallpaper...
Edited original post and deleted all the cropped background images.
They look better un-cropped so I picked the best ones and only
re-sized them. I recommend deleting the cropped images and
getting these instead.
Added ten more.

It looks like it's a "Live wallpaper" and by even removing the default supplied live wallpapers, this one is not effected - it sticks.
I wish someone would make is customizable.
Any DEVs out there that wanna take this on?
i wish we could unlock the screen by waving over and then pressing anywhere on the screen
that feature was available on the note 2, saved me from pressing the home button

So has anyone at all tried removing the quick glance lwp and do an apk file PLEASE I been looking everywhere and found nothing I hope to hear from someone soon thanks.
SAME
i really want to customize this. i really want to get rid off the animation. the point of quick glance is also to preserve battery. since super amoled only lit up the pixels used. i prefer just the time and notifications light up. NO ANIMATION.

here is the APK modded glance view.apk. this is the modded version by me with all animations removed with just a simple black background. and if you want a different background. just open the .apk with 7zip or equivalent and go to /res/raw/background.png and replace it with your own imagine with identical resolution.
when you are done. go place it in /system/app
*make sure you backup your original glanceview.apk in /system/app
* restart phone right after overwriting the apk.
*phone might restart itself right after overwriting, this is normal, and it will ONLY do it once.
please only do this at your own risk.
I don't know how to...
