What are you all using for dialer apps? The one with the ROM, or something else. I'm wondering, because this is the first ROM i've used that didn't have a black/block list for incoming calls and SMSs, to prevent spam and sales calls, etc. Are there perhaps plans to add this feature later, or is it considered bloat? Either way, it's something i could really use, so in the mean time at least, does anyone have any recommendations for an alternative dialer compatible with Exodus? Thanks!

you do realize exodus is in beta right?
Umm, Exodus is based on AOSP, at least the exodus marshmallow. If you do use open-gapps along with the rom, the stock package, you do get stock google dialer, which basically supports blocking and much more..

Has anyone flashed either Cyanogen or Enomther's "custom" ROMS? Just wondering if there is some sort of pressing reason why I would want to.
That is a good question.
For me it would be Cyanogens as he has incorporated multitouch I believe.
For the increase in functionality.
Tethering would be a good reason.
Enom makes theming easier!
Yeah, same here. Tethering hands down is a really critical application. I'm not big into themes, but they made it easy for those too if you are.
Custom roms usually have a bunch of neat functionalities that don't come stock.
For instance, on the G1 we had a modified phone.apk, which had the ability to blacklist callers. I love that feature so much and hope it will come to the nexus. Basically you put in someones number and it will hang up the call on the other end, without sending them to voicemail. It just hangs up and dead air. Bonus is you get no notification of the missed call either, and with no voicemail you can always say I didn't know you called to your boss... atleast that is how I do it... did it i guess.
Please work on the Phone.apk!

that sounds like an excellent app... any idea when the Cyanogen rom will be released..
i rooted and unlocked my N1 yesterday, little scary the first time but i did ok, Im anxious to do it again.
i rooted my n1 with custom room MoDaCo custom ROM 1.2 and i love it. of course the added feature of wireless tethering makes a world of a difference and multitouch is great too. im just now looking for new apk to install to keep my N1 in tip-top-shape
right...but I can add the wireless tether on my own via code.google.com. however, I get what you all are saying. thanks for the information

As I have been flashing ROMs I've noticed many come with the Phone.apk. My Tab is a tablet, and not a phone so I want to remove it all. But when I tried to through adb it renders my data service useless. So would someone please tell me exactly how this is done?
Strange that you want to delete it
You could take a custom launcher and hide it from the drawer.

I don't see how.. I have a phone to make calls from. I have a tablet for web browsing.
I'm not wanting to hide it though. I want to remove it.
As far as I know the only way to fully remove the dialer functionality would be to cook your own rom without it. The only other thing I can think of is maybe taking the phone.apk from a standard tmo build and using that (I am fairly sure the default build still has a phone.apk as to my knowledge it is needed for radio services to function). Having said that I use mine as a phone so not gonna mess around to test it myself and my apologies if it doesn't/wont work. As a side note phone.apk is less then 4mb not sure why it would be a huge concern.

My contacts app has the dialer in it. And on some ROMs I get a voicemail notification. I suppose I could find a contacts apk without it. But if I'm going through all that I might as well get rid of the whole thing. I just don't see the reason behind needing to use a tablet as a phone, you know?

The "simple" solution would be to go back to your stock ROM, but that's likely not really an acceptable solution as the performance of the stock ROMs tends to be pretty poor in comparison to the later development builds.
So, you are likely to be left with removing or replacing certain components from your desired ROM with the stock TMo variants (as has been previously mentioned) on a trial and error basis to determine what works and what does not. It's doubtful that you'll find anyone who can tell you *exactly* what you want to do, because it seems that most US Tabs users are looking to re-enable the phone functionality that was artificially crippled by the US carriers.
I seldom use my Tabs phone functionality, but I have used it (makes a great speakerphone for conference calls!), and I would always rather have more functionality than less.

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.
Hi everyone,
Can someone help me change the default dialer and contacts app? Coming from the iOS land, I find this extreme "blackness" of the default dialer really ugly, and thus I'm desperately trying to get rid of it by using either Contacts+ or Go Contacts. The thing is that every time I make or receive a phone call, the phone defaults to the stock dialer. After some googling around, I couldn't find any definite answers as to whether this is possible.
Many suggested going to App Management, locate the Contacts app and press the "Clear Defaults" button (same for Phone app). Unfortunately that button for both apps is disabled for me.
Any suggestions? Has anyone managed to successfully use another dialer?
Thanks in advance!
You're confusing the dialer app with what you see in call, which is separate. You can change the in call graphics with a change of framework/systemui but it takes a bit of work. Swapping the dialer app for something like ExDialer or Go Dialer won't do anything to what you see once the call is taking place.

So essentially, all these dialer apps *have* to revert to the default "in-call" screen simply because they do not support their own? Is this an Android limitation one has to live with, or is there some sort of work around?
It's a limitation of Android. The look and behaviour in call is a fundamental part of the OS, rather than something that can be changed with an APK.

That explains why I couldn't find anything on that subject. Thanks a lot!
There's nothing stopping you using a custom rom though which may be different. At the moment you're seeing the touchwiz one. If you put stock android on there instead it'd be different, on HTC and Sony phones it'd be different again, etc. Nothing is limited on android, so long as you know enough to be able to edit it. Get root access, and get talking to some custom rom developers who may be able to give you a bit of an insight on how you'd do it. It's not impossible.
Is this available somehow? I know there are threads for the S3, but I don't see anything out yet for the S4. Anyone know of any apps that will record without speakerphone? I have tried everyone I can find, even the Galaxy specific app.
If not an app, then a ROM, modified SecPhone file.. anything?

Might I suggest porting your carrier number to Google Voice? GV integrates well with Sprint, and you have the option of recording calls made through it by pressing a button at any time during the call. And it brings with it plenty of other awesome options.

Good idea. The only thing keeping me from this right now is the early cancellation fee that would happen when I port the number. I'll look through the GV feature list and see if it is worth it.

What cancellation fee? Sprint doesn't charge you anything...they want to encourage integration with Google Voice. And Google certainly doesn't charge you anything. It took me literally ten seconds and cost me nothing.

Yeah, I posted that before completely reading the article I was looking at. I was thinking that a cancellation fee would be charged because that line is technically being taken away from them. But since you are getting another line at the same time, they don't count it as cancellation.
That being said, Google Voice's recording feature will not work for my needs for 2 reasons: (based on the feature lists and articles I read. If this is outdated or inaccurate, feel free to correct me)
1. You can only record outgoing calls. I need to be able to record both calls.
2. When you hit the record button, Google Voice alerts both parties that the call is being recorded. I need it to be anonymous. (Disclaimer before I get hounded about legal issues and privacy: Yes, I understand that there are legal considerations here. My attorney and I have both looked at the laws of my state, and what I am going to be doing is completely legal here. Both I and the other caller reside in the same state.)
Any other ideas for recording on the S4?

Sorry, beats me. I mean, I know other apps exist, but I have not tested them out such that I could speak to their quality or compatibility.
You could install this ROM to have the Call Recorder option.
