thanks KenKiller for the reply,
I have searched the free app market for such a software but could not find, do you know if it is available as a paid app?

ahhh I missss that auto-vibrate so much !!!!!
I loved it on my magic. no need to hold the phone on our ears until they pick up

i tried to search for it, but in the end found many more threads where people asked for this function to be removed from many other phones.
Guess it's hard to please the whole world.

Place the phone.apk from this thread onto your SD card and use APKInstaller to install it. It should overwrite your stock phone.apk and will provide you the feature set you desire.
However, I don't know if this has been attempted on a SGS before - so be ready to restore your stock ROM if it doesn't work...

Waiting for a brave soul to try this.
I'm pretty sure the Phone app that comes with SGS is quite unique. After installing launcherpro the default phone button wouldn't even work until I replaced it.

Thanks for your help, I will do it once i get my SGS

Is there any news about this issue ?

uhhhh, sounds fun, let me book mark this and try it when i have spare time to mess around with my phone

For some reason the setting for this is in Settings > Sound and Display, Vibrate for Incoming Calls which is by default unticked. I thought I saw another somewhere else, going to poke around a bit more.
Edit: Damn, can't find it. I swear I saw options for vibrating at the start and/or end and or during calls, maybe I'm getting confused with my Magic though?

I really miss that feature from my old phone. The nearest app I can find is this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-cn-cwd-callvibrate-BApt.aspx

Do all/most of the custom roms have the dialer enabled?

I want to use the built-in dialer for sip, which is inaccessible in stock. part of the reason I want this is I want to use bluetooth and still haven't found a voip/sip app that supports bluetooth. Others say grooveip works fine, but I'm Canadian so no use.
Or is there an easy method of enabling in stock now? I read before of some method where you had to change the dpi and do some other things and then add your sip credentials and then modify the dpi back.
But I'm curious to know if most custom roms have it enabled.

I'd also be interested getting the stock dialer for sip. Preferably in Stock rom.

do you mean the phone.apk ?

Thanks, but the thing is phone.apk is already there, part of the Android system, it's just disabled somehow. And not the typical way that can be unfrozen.

This post describes the method of enabling the sip dialer. A little clunky but doesn't sound too hard, haven't tried it yet though. He mentions bluetooth is a little shaky which is disappointing. Does bluetooth just suck in general with android or what?
But anyone who is running a custom rom, can you tell me if the dialer is enabled, if so, what are you running?

4.2 has really irked me and I'm looking again at installing a custom rom, probably cyanogen as that's what I ran on my old nook color.
So can someone running cyanogen or any custom rom tell me if the dialer is enabled?

I've ran lots of custom roms and haven't seen a dialer once. We've never had 3G.

Can you not download Go Contacts. This comes with a dialer. I've used this successfully to make and receive phone calls on the Nexus 7 in conjunction with tablet talk and a Bluetooth headphone.

Thank you for answering! Now at least I know custom roms don't have it, but it's disappointing. You mention we don't have 3g I know that, and that's probably the logic why google disables it. But carriers also disable things like that to prevent voip usage, so it's kind of irrating, and surprising that custom roms wouldn't enable it either. Especially since I know it was there on cm7 on my nook which didn't even have a mic. I put in my sip creditentials in cm7 just to test a call and it worked fine, but again obviously it had no mic. I thought oh well, next tablet. Well now I have the next tablet and I was somewhat hoping google wouldn't do what the carriers typically do. I think it also avoids confusion because people think it's a phone as well, but why not at least have a developer option to enable sip dialing or something.
I may request on the cyanogen mod forrums if they could please enable it.

Bottom-right icon missing... why?

Hello guys,
With the latest update of Nexus 7 2012 (android 4.4.2), the bottom-right icon, disappears after I turn off the tablet. Why?
In fact, when I turn it on, the icon is missing and there is a space to put another one.
I was wondering if someone has the latest version of Google Experience Launcher, maybe after a new update they changed something.
I'm not using the default launcher anymore, but I use the Nexus 5 launcher It's more fluid, imo.
Thank you
Davide.

If you had searched you would have seen this discussed many times and it seems to be a common problem with GLE.

Ok and how can I fix it? thanks!

I don't use GLE. Search and read the threads and you'll find your answer, but don't be so lazy.

I have previously searched and I haven't found anything... this is why I am asking you, I'm not lazy so please leave impoliteness out of this thread

There is still no fix for this as it is a problem with the launcher itself. You can use a 3rd party launcher like Nova for the time being.

Replacing Phone Dialer on Nougat?

I just took the update to Nougat and I hate the little window that comes up when I receive a call on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. On Marshmallow, I had installed an old version of the Google Dialer ( v 2..05.07_rc4 I believe) but I am having trouble disabling the default dialer on Nougat. Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the default Samsung dialer on Nougat and use the Google Dialer (any version)? Or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!

re dialer
I didn't like the all white dialer in Nougat so I installed the material dark theme and that made both
the dialer and drop down menus look better. I would like the pixel dialer or something similar however
the one's I have tried (apk's) crashed.

Do you know of a way to make the notification drop down tray dark? Every theme I try doesn't change the notification drop down.

The quick menus are dark however the notifications are not. I notice now the blue led notification doesn't seem to be
working either. Short answer no.
I did get the led notifications to work after adding an app (light manager). I expect if I erase and reset it would work but
I don't want to do that at the moment.

There is an updated version of Google Phone that works on S7E Nougat. Search for "Google Phone 4.1.135571529-nonnexus" on apkmirror. It might not be the most current version (which is 8.x) but it still works and might not be as whacky for you as the Samsung dialer. Please note that you need to also download the Google Contacts app, because if you want to disable the Samsung dialer you are actually disabling the Samsung Contacts app as this is the actual "phone" app that shows up in your app drawer. If you want to disable the Samsung phone and contacts apps make sure to not disable any of the apps listed as "phone".
Hope this helps!

So then which apps do I disable to get rid of the Samsung dialer and contacts apps?
Also, what version of Google Contacts do I download?

Once installed you have to go to application settings and grant all permissions then choose this as default calling app

I disabled "Contacts" com.samsung.android.contacts the one with the orange icon and just that app only. I then downloaded the most current version of the dialer and I then downloaded Google Contacts version 1.6.20 which is the most current version.

Great! Thank you.
Were you able to get search results working in the dialer? That seems to be the only thing I'm lacking. Otherwise, this is awesome. Thanks again!

Is there any newer version of this dialer that syncs with contacts? Right now, the "contacts" portion of the dialer app shows every contact I've ever contacted ever rather than the customized list I have in my separate contacts app.
Thanks!

Hello,
Using an s7 g930f and wanting to replace the samsung dialer with the google phone dialer. The version I have is v8, I'm wanting to have ViLTE video calling ability, I'm using a rooted tw rom. I've read that the minimum version needed for the dialer is v13 or newer, I have not found a version that works on my s7, does anyone have this working?
Thanks.
Dave.

Please help - Alternative Phone App needed - do you know one?

Hi, My friend has the Note 7 Global Lavender version, like me, he is 82 years old and is having some trouble with answering calls because of the not-so-easy to use green phone slider. Even I sometimes have problem with this one.
So can someone help me with an alternative and a small guide on how to install it(if not like other Apps) and set it as default, so when call comes in that is the one he see? There is no need to change anything else.
Please don't refer me to google, the problem is not that there aren't any Apps but that there are too many of them, and I can't try them all until i find one without a slider but where you just push the green button to answer call - He is starting to regret he bought this phone, as it is not so friendly for old people.
I hope someone here can help.

Thank you, and yes it looks like what I wanted though it is a very sophisticated app with a lot more functions than I wanted, maybe too much - it is still for an elderly man. Also looks like there have been some complaints that you get more spam calls after you use Truecaller and that they upload your data to their servers for everyone to see - not for me!
I like to hear other options if there are some Preferebly close to the stock dialer, but without slide and only push or an option to set it yourself. And not one that takes advantage of people.
Thank you

You could try google dialer apk from apkmirror.com, it has a simple slide gesture to answer and end calls and isn't too bloated with useless features

Thank you for your answer, I will look at it but would prefer to avoid slide since that is the problem. The Note 7 has slide, but its not easy to use not even for me and I have had many phones with "slide dialer".
Finding "push button" dialer has proven to be some of a challenge, also when you take in mind it should be one not stealing your data
Hope someone can come up with a solution for this

Guess not, but i found this one and it might do the trick, testing next week when my friend available: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.luckyme.dadapp2
Update: forget the app above - it works just after install but doesn't do anything when pushing the Answer button. After that it never pop up anymore . Uninstalled it!

If you can root the device and install google dialer framework , you can set the google phone app which has better slider : you just need to slide up, holding the phone icon isn't necessary. And custom roms can also be easier for him as compared to miui.
anyways, i wonder if you could find a feature in miui that makes the incoming calls screen always in 'heads up' mode. That way he just needs to touch the accept or reject. I m not sure if miui provides that

I'm sorry and tank you for your input, but I'm not rooting his phone to solve this - too many things can go wrong because you have to unlock bootloader and then install TWRP first before you can root - or so the guide here on XDA states.
I hope for a different solution
