[Q] Replace Stock Dialer with AOSP - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know there are some apps that do this but I would also like to change the interface of incoming calls and that kind of stuff. Anyway of doing this?
I've seen some threads about doing so with other phones, with mixed results. Any tips are appreciated.

"easiest" way would be to flash a custom ROM

yea i've been trying some of the roms but am just fed up with the minor annoyances, and with Xposed I can make most of the changes I want. I was hoping to be able to change the dialer within the stock rom

Threaded email?

Hi all,
I've been looking into various more roms today and have noticed that some more 'flashy' roms include the feature 'threaded email'. This sounds very useful to me as I really dislike WM's Outlook (the blocking of images, blocking of scrolling right, etc!) - this sounds like it could make things more tolerable.
I'd, however, much prefer to flash with a 'stock like' minimalistic rom, like CleanEX UDT 4.28 and add such tweaks myself but I can't for the life of me find a thread which describes how to do this, just that 'it can't be done' threads from 2008!
Could anyone point me in the right direction, provide a reg entry or cab, etc?
Help's much appreciated!
Bump!

[Q] A MIUI ROM with multi-lingual T9 support? (aka. "I can't find the ROM for me")

[Q] A MIUI ROM with multi-lingual T9 support? (aka. "I can't find the ROM for me")
Hello everyone.
I keep playing around with my phone, trying all sorts of ROMs. As you can read in my sig, the "main" ROM I use is WinMo6.5 Energy, which, as far as WinMo ROMs go, is pretty darn sweet.
But I'd really REALLY like to give NAND Android a go.
Unfortunately, every version I try seems to have something missing, and I'm having a hard time finding one that's "just right". Especially since the features I'm looking for aren't at all so bizarre I think.
Sense ROMs lack "cleanliness" due to the graphical glitches. I know it's not the chefs fault, but until HTC kindly releases the source code, I think I'd rather stay clear of those.
Typhoon Cyn ROMs are smooth and fast, but the really interesting loader features require me to make a purchase. It's not an expensive application, but I'm a "try before you buy" sort of person. I can't really tell if I'd like to use it unless I keep using it on my phone for a few days first.
And finally, there's MIUI ROMs, which are awesome except for one, main thing: they lack a localized T9 dialer. I'm from Poland, and as you could expect, I've got a bunch of people in my contacts list who have weird letters like Ś or Ł in their names and NOT being able to dial their numbers (EDIT: dial their numbers "quickly" I should add) is a huge problem.
The only thing I found so far is this: http://forums.miuiandroid.com/showthread.php?7898-MOD-Multilanguage-T9-dialer-(ES-RU-GR-PL)
However, this doesn't seem to work: it installs fine, and then... nothing. An earlier version of this mod, which required manual install via recovery, DID enable the T9 dialer, but one of the main settings app would constantly FC afterwards.
There's also a small matter of MIUI ROMs having trouble with the theme manager and no smooth "flip" animation. Both of these are minor complaints however.
So... the question I'm laboriously trying to get to is this: Is there a MIUI ROM for the HD2 which would have a multilingual T9 dialer buil-in? If not, has anyone managed to get that mod working with any recent MIUI ROM on XDA and if so, how? Finally, perhaps some kind soul read my post and thought "ahh, I know exactly what this lad needs"... in which case, please share this knowledge.

[Q] Any way to enter the dialer codes in AOSP?

Does anybody know any way to getting into the AOSP dialer codes? I know they're not built in to the ROMs as of now but are there any work around ways? Any apps?
I found this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626638 and it seems like it would be something we could use if the right scripts were used. Any help?

Number format on caller ID

Hey everyone. I'm having an issue and hoping someone can help me figure out how to fix it.
So, I flashed an international rom that I really like. I set everything up including installing all of my apps and tweaking all of the settings. But, I noticed that there is an issue when receiving an incoming call (I am in the US and am referring calls from US numbers). All of the calls are showing up like this: "+8005551000".
This appears to be rooted in the Android system itself and isn't just a setting I can change in the UI. So, I was hoping if someone knew of a way to change the format from "+8005551000" to the US style of "(800) 555-1000" on the caller id screen. If not, does anyone at least know where the source for this resides in the Android system? I think the rom developer would be willing to help me, but he isn't sure where to look for this functionality.
Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
shingy

Call Back Option Like Stock Dialer

Hi guys,
Apologies ahead of time if this is not the current forum to post this thread under. Please let me know and I'll post accordingly.
I recently rooted and installed a new ROM on my SG5 - Blisspop ROM. Awesome ROM with more features than I know what to do with!
One minor problem I found is that when you hang up a call or get disconnected for whatever reason, there is no follow option that occurs like it does in the stock dialer app - message/call back/add to contacts. This can be a huge headache when dealing with work related conference calls as I would have to go back to the dialer and edit call before dialing + add the respective extension.
I was looking around for a dialer that does this but all I could find is links to auto-redial apps which is not what I am looking for - I was not sure what to even call it - "call back feature". Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe I am missing a setting but it does not seem like there is such an option.
Your help is greatly appreciated! Thank you
