Tired of your old contact list? Want a new T9 dialer? Try out AContact, a fully customizable contact app with a brand new dialer. AContact is the only Contact manager that has a smooth scrollable user interface, so you never have to reach to the top of the screen to switch between tabs.
Features:
* T9 search/dialer pad.
* Customizable screens, mix & match functions you like.
* Adjustable text size, small or big as you wish.
* The only dialer app with full group support for Google account.
* Customizable contact list.
* Three keyboard style in contact list: collapsible bottom keyboard, right side vertical IPhone like keyboard, no keyboard.
* Filterable call history, favorite contact list.
* Delete/Clean call log by contact name or number.
Attached with this thread is a beta version of the next release. We would like to know how everyone think about this.
If you want to install the one from Google's Android Market(previous version), just search "movesti" in android market, then look for AContact.
Very very nice application you have got here. A huge improvement on the stock android interface, and much better than any other contact app I have used, including HTC dialer I would happily buy this on the market when it becomes a fully complete application. The only suggestion/amendment I would make, its to have the android status bar enabled as standard (not full screen mode) I think it may confuse less tech savvy users.

Yeah, We thought about this as well. The problem is, on some small screens, there won't be much space left if not in full screen mode. Probably we should set a default value based on the screen resolution of user's phone.
Wow, probably the best I've used.
I think I saw this app a few months ago when it had a blue ui that I wasn't really a fan of and no icon. Whatever the case, this looks and works amazing (and I'm a big fan of applications that you can swipe through like this). And the dialer feels really nice as well.
Great job.

Yeah, we posted a while back in the themes forum, asking for some idea of themes. Now this is implemented in the app.
Its a great dialer! However i would like to suggest adding company name in the T9 search fields, and adding it in the contact details which are displayed in dialer screen.
This would be great!

We have plans to add more support for displaying extra information. You would be able to select what information to display together with contact names, company name, email address etc...

Looks good. I'd like to suggest having seperate icons for the dialer tab and the contacts tab. Would make it more useful when putting it on the launcher dock.
Other than that, great work!

Good idea, will add that in the next releases.
Unusable on froyo dell streak. App will not go to portrait mode. Stuck in landscape.
Would also like clearer dialpad with better contrast

Sorry landscape is not supported right now. A lot work need to be done in order to support that.
A (maybe known) bug: When calling to a contact from the dialer screen with a single tap - its calling the first phone number. Its not reading the default (primary) number from contacts database.

When there is no input in the dialer, it shows the recent call log, and if you press the dial button then, it'll call that number in the log, as the dialer assumes you are calling an entry from the call log.
If you input some texts into the dialer, a matched contact list will show up, if you press to call any contact then, it'll call that contact's primary number.

I agree - that's a possible behavior. The other way is when I input some text, and there is a match - first check if there's a recent call, and if that's true - offer that number; if false offer contacts primary number.
Anyway this is not the case for me.
Scenario:
Contact with a home and mobile number;
Search for that contact
Dialer offers to dial home number, but the mobile number is set as a primary number.
The primary number is set through Sense.

I see what you mean.
Right now, when you input some digits, what happens is
1. contact display name is searched,
2. contact number is searched.
Your call history is not searched (We should change to include that as well)
For your problem, the primary number dialing, we'll go and find a htc sense see if that happens. Probably there is some difference between sense and google's default implementation.
Anyway, will let you know when we figure that out.
Very nice work indeed!
I hope you can make a version what can totally replace the AOSP stock version - this one is way more superior!
A few additions:
- Add Facebook and Twitter accounts' contacts' images syncing - for now, any other contact than the GMail ones have no image (stock image)
- Add option for special sorting of names, and special name display. Like, here in Hungary, we say "Smith Jonathan" (translated name) instead of "Jonathan Smith" or "Smith, Jonathan". The best would be if it could be controlled by language files. Also, I am going to make the Hungarian language, want it?
- The favorite screen's selection has the good old Android background light-up. Can you remove that?
For now, that's all the problem I've found, but still experimenting around it

Thanks for the suggestions. They are all good ones
* For Facebook and twitter contacts, we still have to invest some more time, but it will be there.
* We already have support for sorting by first & last name, no name display though, we plan to add that very soon.
* We plan to add more language support after we implement themes, it would be great if we can use some help. Could you send a email to us [email protected] so we know how to reach you then.
* what is the " good old Android background light-up"?
Another HTC Sense (maybe) related bug:
I keep my contacts synced with my google account and facebook for htc sense. But in phonebook (people) options I've set the view option - only show google contacts. So the result is I can not see facebook contacts in htc or acontact dialer. Nothings wrong here.
But...:
Let's say I have John A. - a facebook contact
I have also John B. - a google contact.
So I am searching for John from dialer screen.
There's a result - John B.
When I select John B. its calling John A.
It may create some awkward situations

That looks like a big problem - calling the wrong number.
Could you send us an email [email protected] so we can keep track of this problem.
We don't have facebook access here so can't test it.
For the primary number problem, I have tested it on htc desire, 2.1 android, it's showing two entries for two different numbers. Not sure how to make it one entry. Will try to find other phones to test.
Hi guys
Has anyone noticed that when searching for a contact (T9 search) in samsung stock dialer, the search function it only lists the first number for a contact if they have more than 1 applied to their card. Problem is you can't view other numbers, it just immediately starts dialing that one number instead if you try to select it ( there is no way to select and see the other numbers)
I have contact with 3-4 numbers so its annoying me. I know there is Dialer One, Go contacts etc but none of them have the clean interface the stock dialer has .
If you click the contact photo it shows all the numbers.
At least my one does....
I'd hate to bring up an old thread, but I used the magical search button and found this thread.
I have this problem, too, and it's really annoying.
Pressing the contact photo doesn't bring up the rest of the numbers for me.
If it helps, my contacts are synced via my google account, and I have a feeling this doesn't happen for contacts locally stored on the phone.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
I'm currently using a different dialer, but I'd prefer to stick to Samsung's dialer if possible.
I'm looking for a dialer app for my urbane that I can call my voicemail and enter the password from my watch while using my Bluetooth headset so I don't have to pull my phone out. Everyone one that I've found will only initiate the call but then I have to emter the password on the phone.
Thanks for your suggestions
I am not sure but I think you are looking for this app

Try Dialer for Android Wear by DGApps. It is a launcher for an app which lets you dial a number, call a contact form your contacts or recent list on your phone. It's free on Google play.
