I have a friend who has an older Droid.
I think he is Android 2.2.3
If you were going to suggest a Contacts/Dialer app that is as good or better than the Note3 Contacts app, what would you suggest?
the default one is not bad...
but if you really want to third party Dialer/Contracts app, Callapp very good.

I'm trying to stay away from anything that GO Dev Team is doing... so the answer is no.
That being said, the only third party dialer I've used and still using is Callapp
Contacts+ is excellent

I would suggest exDialer&Contacts. This is by far the best and the smoothest dialer with contacts for android. It has so many useful features, just check it out in the play store

Hey guys, i'm going to be purchasing an xperia play (my first android/smart phone whoo!) soon and I've done my fair share of research over this phone and i've gone to the verion store to check it out, and i like it a lot, but there's just one thing that bothers me. What happened to the app drawer? I know it's stock gingerbread therefore it should have the same app drawer that the Nexus S has, but it doesn't seem the same, the reason I say this is because when you scroll up and down through the apps, it doesn't give you that "cube" like effect, what happened?

does that really matter? there is a million launchers on the market that can emulate that cube effect in the app draw, and imo have much better effects too, just download one

Download the Gingerbread launcher, push it to /system/app and delete the default launcher. Problem solved This isnt ios You know
I don't have the Verizon edition so could be COMPLETELY wrong but perhaps it's enable-able in a settings?
Even if not the other comments are right - think of it this way. It's not that it doesn't have the cube effect, it's that you need to install it via the market - Launcher Pro or Gingerbread Launcher should both have it (ADW too maybe?)
If you get that phone you can definitely get the effect your looking for

Sounds more like it would be a property in the Launcher2.apk file. You can extract it and search if you want.

So I recently flashed a new AOSP rom and to my surprise I could no longer add a facebook account under the accounts option. After doing some more research I found that Google has "switched" it off so it will no longer let you add a facebook account.

Friendcaster app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=uk.co.senab.blueNotifyFree&hl=en
Only reason i liked it was cause there picture would pop up without me having to do anything but nothing i can live without
Think it has anything to do with them trying to integrate G+ more and have people use that to sync contacts ? I don't personally use G+ but do like Facebook pics in my contacts..

Well this certainly does explain why I haven't been able to fix the contact sync; I thought it was just me, lol.

I tried that once and it kept giving me the notifications over and over again for messages I received even after I read them..kind of annoying. Other then that it worked ok I guess.
Did you turn off notifications.
Sent from my PG06100 using XDA
No why would I do that? I like to know when I have a message but not over and over again for the same message I already read...

Sparksco is an AOSP user majorly so you bring up FriendStream to him and he'll probably just give you the middle finger

There's two types of Friendstreams. There's one on Sense roms that I like and works flawlessly without the annoying notifications. Then there's another one from the market that does have annoying messages. On aosp roms you have to use the one from the market. The notifications don't always start doing that right away but after awhile they do. It's a bug in the app itself. Stop acting like I don't know WTF I'm talking about!

Yeah when I do run sense it works great. Edited OP for AOSP roms!
Facebook contact integration hasn't worked for me properly for a long time on AOSP. But this integration works fine on Sense.
Side note: One thing I learned when I worked at Facebook is that Google HATES Facebook.
Unrelated: I also noticed that Waze isn't as good at getting a GPS lock on AOSP as it is on Sense. I think that's a bug in Waze though.

Hi,
Im not very keen on the Samsung or any of the dialer and contacts apps that are available. i came from a Nexus 4 and miss the stock apps.
Could some one please port these over to the S4 or upload the stock Android 4.2.2 Dialer and Contacts apk's ?

Bump, and also in the same boat.
I came from HTC Sense, and find the Samsung dialer very not nice.
I hope we can have something ported onto the S4...

Do you mean stock android dialer in a touchwiz rom?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
In my case I mean the TouchWiz dialer. (EDIT, to clarify, I mean I dont like the TW dialer, sorry about the confusion..)
The HTC Sense dialer is much more functional and intuitive. It shows you a keypad and your last calls ( and much further down the list, ALL your contacts) on the same screen, and by typing the number/letters, it narrows down the list to the desired contact (whether on the last calls log, AND/OR in your contact list). Its all done on one screen. To do the same thing on TW I have to jump through 3 different tabs or 5-6 key presses.
Also for contacts with multiple numbers, a side swipe scroll through the available numbers.
Plus a few other featureless and tricks makes the Sense dialer a lot easier to use, try it if you get a chance and you'll see what I mean.
Any one if the HTC dialer is ported, or possible to install/use on TW?

I've tried it but its just not the same as the stock android dialer and contacts.
I'm also badly expecting stock dialer, contacts, clock and messaging ...
It would be better that Somebody could create the stock Dialer, contacts and message apk ...
it will be highly appreciated if someone can post a flashable zip adding stock jelly bean dialer, contact and messaging app to touchwiz. Its like having the best of both worlds

Thats a shame :/ I prefer the good ol' Nexus Gallery over Photos app. Also coming from an LG that has a stock email app, it would be nice to have one like that so I dont have to use Gmail for everything.
Does anyone know how I can get the old Gallery app installed again?

Do you or anyone have a link for the apk? Searching through Google just gives me tons of broken or spam links

I agree. I love google photos, but just to see what's on the phone only, it's nice
to use a different app (although Google Photos is organized a lot better now).

BTW this has been google's push for some time now. i personally don't care for the photo app as it makes it too difficult to get to recently taken photos, images on the device, but i like its features and integration with online services.
Or get the Cyanogen gallery ... http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/cyanog.../cyanogen-gallery-2-0-0-android-apk-download/

I have to admit I don't understand why Moto (or any OEM for that matter) give us a stock SMS app when it seems to be inferior to Google's Messenger app. Are there any advantages to using it? Especially since you can't disable it, we're all kind of stuck with it even if we don't use it.
it's a stock android messaging app. just download google messenger and make it as default app then.

Oh I know. I'm just wondering why they put their own messaging app if Google already makes a better one. I'm wondering if there's a reason for that,

"better" is subjective. I consider them both inferior to Textra, but not everyone shares that opinion of course.

Oh yeah of course. But I'm comparing features from stock to Google's Messenger (quick replies and such). I'm just wondering if there's any advantage to using the stock app. I'm thinking it's a little useless, as a company, to build your own when the AOSP version is great and Google's Messenger too.
