I ran into this issue with my G1, and the workarounds were kludgy at best. is there any possibility of getting the HTC Dialer from say - the droid eris - on the nexus one? I had it with my g1 on the rogers rom, but lost some key functionality(for me anyways). Since the nexus one isn't carrier specific, I'm going to assume that there aren't going to be too many roms floating around.
So does anyone else feel like this is a HUGE miss on htc's part? The android dialer is 'ok', but it's so much easier to dial the first 2 or 3 letters of someone's first and last name and have it pop up in a list rather than go to my favorite tabs and scroll up and down looking for who i want to call.
Granted, this is google's baby, so it's free of outside software, but come one. They can't honestly think the shipped android dialer is better...could they?
I'd love to hear someone chime in and say that they've got it running, but seeing as how the htc frameworks are rooted incredibly deep into the os, i'll assume that's a no-go. I'll settle for some feedback though. Does anyone miss this feature?
No, the android 2.1 dialer is way better than HTC's version.
Tip: You can search for users in the general search tool. Just press the search button, and start typing the name. A lot faster than browsing through the contact list.

Superdial doesn't work on 2.1 either
I'd been using the free app superdialer from the market for this same functionality. Unfortunately it isn't working with the 2.1 contacts list quite yet
t9 contact search on the dialer itself is indispensable. I don't know why this isn't part of the stock dialer.

Search only pulls info from first and last name.

Better ? And in which way because I can't see it ?
Try StarContact
I agree with the OP. I don't understand why Google doesn't offer T9 support on the default dialer. It is in my top 5 frustrations with Android.
That said, I've been using StarContact (in the market) since it first came out for the G1. It works on the Nexus as well. The HTC dialer is still better, and I loved it when I had the Rogers rom on my G1. Too bad that rom stopped at 1.5.
spelldial from market works with 2.1 now and is amazing.
Start asking your questions in the right sub-forum (Q&A) (Theme) or even in (General), or simply search.......This isn't a developmental subject, Thank you.
Final result will be a ban for you up too 3 days.
If you persist on posting in wrong forums.
Thread Trashed!!
Rule that apply:
1. Search before posting
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
Some questions just keep popping up over and over. Please use the 'search function with google' in the menu above each and every page in the forum.
its still here lol
yup. missing that t9 capability that's nice in the htc dialer... the android one seems rather empty of features...
I'm getting really sick of all of the people who won't post their questions in the right forum. Also, I'm sick of people asking how to get HTC proprietary apks to work on the Nexus. If I can get a dump of a sense UI on 2.0 or later with the right screen resolution I will port it. Until then, you can't get HTC apps to work on the Nexus. So quit asking, please.

What he said.
Also, turn off "Web Search" and "Music" in settings for the Google Search
widget, and you'll have a very fast, handy way of getting into contacts from
the home screen. Turning off "Web Search" only turns off Web Suggestions btw.
Type in whatever you want and hit enter and it'll take you to the browser.
PS: Yes, this is the wrong section, but this had to be said
Well I think a ban is a bit harsh. It would take less time to just move the thread and close it vs posting a huge post... which can be equally wasteful. Being a new upcoming N1 owner and new to Android, all of this is new to me as well. I think the Development forum would be accurate IMO.
Anyway. Good thing this thread wasn't deleted because it has some useful information. My neighbor has a N1 and it was one thing that I noticed it lacked. SpellDial looks like a good fix until Google adds this functionality in the stock dialer. Also, good info on the Google Search options, I'll try that too.
An app called dial one brings this. It's free in the market and works excellent.
It's Dialer One and it rocks

Great app indeed
I'm new to developing apps and I want to make apps to submit to the market. What do I need to do start making .... ie - tools and codes, etc.. I want to make a clock app and maybe some other crazy ideas I got. Also once I make it how do I submit to the android market to maybe make money? Also do free apps have to have ads in them?

If you have to ask this question you should probably think twice about writing apps.

Oh so if you're worthy of writing apps it will just pop in your head one day? I fail to see how this response is helpful or how it makes one feel welcome in the XDA forums.
As far as the OPs question, I would not know how to respond as I have never attempted to write an app but I am sure if you do some searching you will find help in these forums. I can assure you that not all members are quick to insult and unwilling to help.
first, read this.
second, go here.
those should give you a good place to start.
hope it goes well for you!
In order to start writing applications for Android, you will want to learn Java...that said, you can start tinkering before you have to learn too much.

Hello World for Android.
Once you've covered those bases, you might google "android development tutorials"...
Is there anyone here that can produce a detailed guide for using the search feature?
I am not being a smart ass either. It seems to be an utter pain in the ass for me to use.
All BS aside I would benefit from a few examples as well.
Are you talking about when you press the search button?
I am talking about the search feature in these forums
I agree! I also find it near impossible to actually find anything your looking for on search.

To he honest I almost never use the search feature in these forums but I will almost always find the answer I'm looking for. What I find that works is Google. If you're looking for something, we'll use an sbf for example, just search key terms. For this example I'd search Droid x 2.3.340 sbf or whatever system version I needed.
Is this what you were looking for?
Hi Guys and Girls,
I'll apologise now if this is in the wrong place or if it's already been mentioned but I couldn't find any real info so I thought I'd create a thread..
I've recently bought a Nexus 7 having only ever owned HTC phones and I'm pretty disappointed in the default mail app that comes with the Nexus.
I've seen some forums of people trying to port the HTC Mail.apk with no success as I believe the Sense framework has to be on the device for this to work but I'm just wondering if anyone out there is creating an HTC based Mail app to work on all devices?
I'm hoping that it's pssible but unfortunately I have no developer skills whatsoever so I can;t do anything about it.
I'm sure if an app like this was to be created there would be quite a lot of interest as the others I've tried, K-9, Touchdown, etc just don't come close enough.
Please can someone let me know if this is already in producctn of if it can be created.. I'm sure the good people of XDA can whip up some sort of fund if there is enough backing.
Thanks for your time.
Terryd1980.
Hi, any solution for this? I'm also looking for a HTC like mail app. My biggest problem right now is the calendar preview of invites. The stock app shows the meeting request without the date and time and the preview button takes you to the calendar with wrong date. Total joke.
I just bought my first ever Android device. This SGY is far not the best ever phone, but it was cheap and I kind of see it as a toy :laugh:
I wonder how to have a cROM with my native language? All cROMs I can see here are in english. This is doable but not convinient. There was already a thread with a similar question but the answer is unreadable and the link isn't working anymore.

Is there a "change language in cROMs for dummies" somewhere - or can we create one here?

Translate the ROM
there are many guides over CDA to help, not too hard too

somehow it is hard. Most things shown in google are related to music CDs or a political party in Germany. If I add "android" it tells me how to play CDA music on android phones.
I don't think this is what I am looking for.
But "translate the ROM" helped. I found this thread here
jBART - BurgerZ Android ROM Tools --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1736409
I will have a closer look at this.
Thank you.
If anything better is around (or jBART not working for Galaxy Y) please let me know. Thanks.

SGY has a small screen.. and X and C are close on the keyboard. :|
