best dialer I've used. The Sammy's one is just crap.
I get a constant complaint from friends new to Android and the SGS II: "I tap the phone icon, but I don't get the dialpad - where is it??"
I guess it's not so intuitive to just scroll the pane at upper part of the screen...
The ICS (CM9 one) is better, but Dialer One is still the one I choose.

Dialer One does not work for me. Although I like the interface better, it takes to long to start. Maybe it is because I have to many contacts in my phone.
I have a stock rom installed (2.3.6)
Anyone else experienced this problem ? I am now back to the stock dialer.

Go Dialer Ex
It has some options that I missed from the Stock dialer such as vibrate on when someone picks up the phone on the other side and Speed dial.

exDialer works very well for me. I used custom one and go contacts too but this is way better.

TouchPal dialer is the one after trying many dialers, take a look, you will not regret it.

I have them and I only have the stock dialer.
Settings->Call->Call Alert->Outgoing call vibration
I don't know if those settings only affect the stock dialer or if they are system settings and affect all dialers - I think the latter.
Speed dial:
Dialer->Menu button->Speed dial setting

exDialer takes too long to load call logs and contacts. Went back to stock dialer, fast and functional.

touchwiz rom and slide to call or send messsage is the best

Stock dialler with ICS theme. Maintains functionality of stock but adds the sexiness of ICS
Prefer stock due to left/right swype on contact and SNS integration only for FB to sync contact pics. And has T9 compared to stock CM7 dialler.

Stock dialer for sure (on ICS ). go+ keyboard is a must.

exDialer
I've tried all others, but exDialers is the best one. Fast, stable and highly customizable without any unnecessary garbage ...

Owners- how integrated is touchwiz?

Hey,
On the old Touchwiz, it was heavily integrated into the phone, so much so that if you did a home replacement like LauncherPro, it still would give you the weird notification bar, etc. The dialer and contact apps were touchwiz too and couldn't be replaced.
Could one of you guys try launcherpro and tell if it does the replacement right? Or is the phone still separate in the odin images?
Thanks.

LauncherPro doesn't replace the notification bars, dialers etc. Only the launcher and the app menu I believe. I don't have a single problem with the touchwiz stuff though, and will probably go back to Touchwiz launcher too.

Ok, just one more question then, what about the settings, are they the stock settings menu or another custom UI like the old Touchwiz?
Thanks.
People have used both launcher pro and adwlauncher and they say they work perfectly fine with the phone.
Personally I'm staying with touchwiz, I love it and I love the smooth application menu, unlike other android devices where it's sluggish and strange. Also, it looks very very good, unlike the videos online, in real it's beautiful. to me anyways

Great thanks. I'll flash my nexus before deciding, but maybe Samsung got it right this time.
Sorry to be ragging on your phone guys, but touchwiz absolutely ruined the Behold 2.
yes that's what I heard that touchwiz 2222222222 ruined but the 3 is great for me. I haven't seen the 2

For those that like and use TouchWiz

I thought I just throw it out here since there are so many people complain about how bad touchwiz is.
What do you like about TouchWiz interface on Galaxy S?
One thing I really like is how music players stack up onto the pull down taskbar as well as on the lock screen where you can stop, change track and play your musics without unlocking your phone.
I only like the lock screen missed call or missed sms notification.
Other than that it's crap.
I use adw for everything else.

Sliding across the notifications bar to adjust brightness.
The Touchwiz Corporate Email client is MUCH better than stock Android. Much.
The Notification panel is the best stock panel on Android, and nothing aftermarket even comes close.
The stock Clock application has a great "Smart Alarm".
Task Manager, which is just a long-press of the Home button away.
Built in "My Files" application, no need to download something like Astro.
Memo and Mini Diary are quite useful.
Very solid SNS integration into Contacts, complete with pictures.
A pretty damned good stock dialer.
A pretty good stock keyboard (and Swype too!)
The best stock Music Player IMHO. Equalizer presets!
The best stock Video Player, bar none. Divx, MKV, AVI, it plays them all.
AllShare actually works, and is actually useful and fun.
Ability to change system fonts on the fly, and to download or create your own.
Road SMS just for ****s and giggles.
Integrated Calendar (Exchange, Google, etc.)
Car Home and Desk Home launchers are nice.
How friendly TW3.0 is to 3rd party launchers.
I'm sure there's more, but the long and short of it is, TouchWiz 3.0 is pretty damned good. I don't use the TWLauncher either, but most of that is habit, having used ADW and LauncherPro for months.

I love TW3.0 I've tried all other launchers and they dont really compare to the functionality that TW3.0 offers altho most of the launchers are just home screen and application drawer replacements.
My only gripe is that samsung should have added a msg counter on the messaging icon like on the wave... everything else is great for me!
Nothing of these things have to do with touchwiz. Im on launcher pro and can do the same. The only thing missing are the samsung widgets.
Ps. On launcher pro you get msg and call counter in the dock icons
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
What i like in TW3.0 is that apps are divided to pages. I don't like scrolling, scrolling and scrolling to find my apps in other launchers. I know on which page i have app that i need right now so i jump quickly there and launch it.
I tried ADW Launcher and LauncherPro but don´t like them. They feel a lot more incomplete and slower compared to TW3. I can´t complain about the speed of TW3 and i really like the the Screenlock, and the notifications for missed calls and sms
Twlauncher isn't the only part of the phone that's changed by TouchWiz, as listed above.
I also use LauncherPro, mainly because I prefer its vertical sliding application list, but the notification icons and integration with media players is nice. I have no argument with the lock screen either - again, the music player integration is useful. The Task Manager in newer builds is also pretty decent and good to see in a stock ROM.
The TouchWiz customisations you can't remove/bypass are pretty good, and because you can change default handlers in Android, it's no big deal to use alternative launchers and applications. I was concerned about not having HTC Sense, but happy with this.
I currently switched from LauncherPro to TouchWiz recently, just because I like variation. I might use ADW instead next week. There's nothing bad about TouchWiz to make me not use it. Nice to see other people supporting the stock software.
TouchWiz 3.0 is Good!!
I am not sure why there is so much of TouchWiz hate. But once one would come out of the "only Sense/ADW is good", they would really see what all functionalities have been added to TouchWiz to make it look good and actually work well.
I really like it.
And I really wonder if Sense can do this much!!

This works on Launcher Pro too, it's not unique to TW

Just download an alternative like Launcher Pro or ADW and Home Switcher to easily switch between them.

That's just an application, irrespective of the launcher. Switch launcher and that is still there.

As above, stock applications, not launcher specific.

Agreed!
I like certain aspect of TW, sort of like the horizontal scroll applications page but wish there was a way to reorder things alphabetically without clearing the data. Manually sorting applications according to type etc. is useful but then sort of duplicates what the home screens are for. Like the icon display on TW as well with their button backgrounds as opposed to plain icons in Launcher Pro.
I think touchwiz is pretty good, one cool feature is sliding your finger left or right on a contact either calls them or composes s message! Until someone ports Sense to the SGS ill stick to touchwiz

I don't "like" touchwiz, but don't hate it either. The widgets that come with it are pretty cool. I like the people(social networking) and the yahoo finance widgets in particular.

That is a feature of the contacts manager, not Touch Wiz. It works the same under a different launcher.
No greyish pull up tab underneath? Never liked that bit.

I agree with you, but what do you mean by this? How do you adjust the brightness from the notifications bar?
This is probably some new addition like the task manager, right? I'm still using the JF3-firmware...
Think the touchwiz is pretty well thought out. I actually like it better then Sense tbh even though I figured I would miss sense after switchin to the sgs.

I love touchwiz that when I slide, if I touched the app icons first for like 0.2 sec and slide, it will still give me a slide.
If I do it on ADW or LauncherPro, it will act like I'm holding that icon. Like I hold icons from drawer to place at home screen.
I don't know how to explain this, my english is not very good. Hope you understand.

changing the bottom dock

ok, i have an evo now, LOVVEE IT, but also looking at picking up an epic and giving evo to gf. but the one biggest thing thats killing me on the epic is not being able to customize the bottom dock, i dont use messaging, i use google voice and would need that at the bottom.
is their any way to change those icons? (WITHOUT USING ANOTHER LAUNCHER, I like the touchwiz UI, and dont wanna use adw or launcherpro etc...)
I heard this feature was removed from the current UI. Apparently there were some problems with touchwiz 3.0, and they removed a few features to get rid of a few of the bugs..
Touchwiz on the epic is essentially stripped down compared to the Vibrant and captivate... although this may change with the 2.2 update..
so it doesnt have ANY way? not even with root? ah. that kills it for me, i dont even touch the messaging app, idk the last time i did...
I'm just curious why not use the messaging app las time i tried google voice it was too slow.
well i have multiple phones and GV is PERFECT for it, and yeah GV used to be HORRIBLE, but now they have push sms, so its pretty instant, and i cant text from my pc etc... the ONLY downside to gv is no mms yet. idk i just REALLY dont want a app on a dock that im never gonna touch..
I love my evo very good, no problems, honestly the draw to the epic for me is the touchwiz fetures, not so much the UI itsself, but the unique features. the speed and the screen.
just not sure if its worth going from an evo to epic
Touchwiz 3.0 does not support landscape thats why they used 2.5. You may be able to change this later on if a developer can port touchwiz 3.0 but then you would not have landscape support in touchwiz.
This is the 4th thread about this exact issue
Solution here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=770529
Just download Handcent. When you hit the messaging icon at the bottom it will ask you if you want to use the stock app or Handcent (then you can check - remember this choice). Now whenever you hit the SMS icon (it will still appear to be the same...). It will open Handcent.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This might work for the other buttons as well, if you clear the defaults in said applications. That is done under the Settings > Applications, find the app and hit the "Clear Defaults" button.
How does using Handcent fix anything for those of us that want the bottom dock button to launch Google Voice?
Did you read the question?
Use launcher pro, u can add and remove icons/programs from the dock

Part of the ROM, the theme, or the app???

Hey guys,
Im new to the forums but i've been trying out roms for a little while. First stock -> zapX -> rubiX blurry -> apex -> rubiX focused -> and now fission 2.5.7 (blacked out)
I liked apex the best but recently I was getting reboots. W/o changing the clocking or voltage or anything..
Any way, fission and rubix seem a little faster and I really like the fission download manager thing. Real simple.
I also like their version of the email app. Very nice.
To the point now,
The dialer is awesome (black theme with green highlights)
The rotary unlock is off the chain
The contact listing - im not a fan of the way the image thumbs are displayed ( looks choppy and the 3 side border looks weird to me)
During a phone call the facebook image shown looks to be a blowup of the tiny contact thumb. Apex used another sized thumb I believe. Way more aesthetically pleasing
The txt messaging in both fission and rubiX is not customizable at all! Not anything like the dialer or contact listing. I don't like how it looks as if im in MSN or IRC
I don't mean to offend any devs, I love you guys. And im not asking for features.
How would I combine the parts that I liked from each rom? I mean, is the dial pad in fission and rubix part of the theme or the phone app? Or is it part of the rom somehow? The contact listing is in the same window as the dialer but could I change the way it looks with a theme or ninjamorph or something?
Also the txt messaging.. I liked the one in apex WAY better. But I don't know if I could just grab the apk and put it in fission.. is it just an apk id replace or is it tied to other things?
Sorry for the massive post and obvious ambiguity. Thanks for any help.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Try searching the market for the alternate apps that you want. For messaging I would suggest that you look up handcent because it is highly customizable and you should be able to make it look how you want
As for the others, I haven't really looked for those yet, but if I find anything that might help you I'll post it
Can't stand handcent or gosms.. I just loaded liberty today tho and the messaging is at least black now. I can live w. that. I just hope that someone fixes the in-call pictures because they are all blown up and NASTY!

cyanogen mod with rosie/sense

is it possible to somehow add rosie on top of cyanogenmod? all i really want is the lockscreen, and (especially) the dialer. i was told the apps wont work without the sense framework but i was wondering if it was possible to add/merge that with cyanogenmod.. or get atleast the dialer without all the hassle?
ive tried third-party smart dialers but nothing compares to HTC's version

no its not possible..
but workarounds.........
1.for launcher.. use he launcher. and select sense like homescreen from bunch.
2.use widget locker, you can get sense 2.1 like lockscreen
3. there is a dailer in the market like in sense , i forgot the name..
search for dialers ....
4. overall, use nt sense theme with cm theme engine..
and thus u'll get most sense features.
im already using ntsense
i guess dialerone is the closest i can get..until android comes out with a smart dialer of its own?
ill check out widget locker
