I like just about almost everything about the vanilla ROM except the dialer. Default dialer doesn't have intelligent search and speed dial, i tried Dialer One, its better, but i am still more used to the sense dialer.. Soo.. i wanted to ask is there some sort of APK to get the Sense dialer?
I'm also interested for this I'm using the EzHero Rom and always when I'm calling I press "on hold" with my ear
This might do it - http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shsh.android.atakephone
It's not free but is supposed to be good and has speed dial etc...
Doesn't have multilangual T9 like Sense, i am russian and most of my contacts are on russian and its pretty critical for me.
Next.
Dialer one will do it...has search etc
Once again, t9 is not multilangual, i had contacted developer about this and he said he have plans on how to implement this. Please note, the topic subject is not to find alternative, but rather integrate original sense caller into vanillarom.

I am interested as well if anything has come up yet.
Has anybody tried to pull Phone.apk and Contacts.apk from the ZTE Blade ROM? That has a Sense-like dialer, infact almost identical, just a copy. As it's a Vanilla ROM, it'll probably work with any of our CM 6.2 ROM's.
EDIT: Pulled the ZTE Blade/Orange San Fransisco Phone/Contacts/ContactProvider/TelephonyProvider apk's
http://db.tt/Qpx7qY3 - Phone.apk
http://db.tt/mrdDrCb - Contacts.apk
http://db.tt/OuZ4Gqq - ContactsProvider.apk
http://db.tt/F6o13dS - TelephonyProvider.apk
I'm not sure if these can be installed or not, as they are from an Android 2.1 build, maybe a bit of apk editing is needed.
Just install aDialer from market.
Same main features as dialer one but wayyyyyyyyy faster

Dialer2 is a really good dialer that only came out recently
DialerOne and NubDial are soooooo slow...
Youlu address book blows both out the water!
and basic answer - no, there is no way to get any of the sense apps like it's dialer to run in a non-sense rom.
you must use an alternative dialer as has been suggested. I love youlu
but I don't know about language stuff - you have to try them I guess.
After reading some weird ideas about not letting people who've posted less than ten times post i thought i better trawl the 'lesser' threads for something i can chip in to, just in case i need to ask a question or post in future...
so i was looking at dialers and i randomly found 'touchPal smart dialer' - free on the market, user interface is....okay actually, speed is...okay too. not that i have masses of experience but it also looks closer to the sense dialer than i've seen yet.
Might be a worth a look if you really miss the sense dialer.

'ere since May '10
Youlu Address Book (includes SMS/MMS app) and Dialer2 are my favourite. Both are pretty fast, good interface and have T9 search.
I'm feeling the Youlu Address Book love. I've tried most dialler's available and this one isn't perfect but seems overall the best for my needs.
Youlu is fast, but I wish it would be without the sms app. I will try the Dialer2 mentioned above, because DialerOne is too slow.
'TouchPal smart dialer' is def the way forward in my opinion. Has anyone else tried it?
it seems to be ever so slightly faster than dialer2 and the interface is nicer - more sense like.
1st of all in my previous post I've said aDialer when I've ment Dialer2, my mistake - mixed up the name.
2nd of all when I search market for touchpal I get 4 apps with chineese desc only. No comments on any app, no opinion no anything in the market app. Looks a bit scarry.

Sorry, cant quote the links, as I'm a 'bad' new user
And is there ANY Dialer, that is as quick as the Sense one? (and has smart dianling ) I'v tried most of the mentioned Apps in this thread, but all were way slower, than the Sense dialer... but as I want to get a custom Rom, I'm also looking for a replacement

anyone know where to get the cab for the smart dialer program? it helps to ease my dialing names? Somehow missing from my kaiser dutty new rom.......
Not sure what you mean by smart dialer but the dialer that was in Dutty's 19199 rom is available on the second posts of his 209 build. I searched the forums and didn't come up with much. Try searching:
smartdialingwm5_257.cab
Are you sure it's not in there? You might just need to enable it.
Dont know what you are looking for exactly, I use this one on a stock AT&T ROM
screenshots and CAB attached.
tyguy its exectly what i needed.......but how come its not included in the roms?? thanks alott
Everybody likes different dialers I know even some who like the original one coming with the AT&T ROM.
It's the same as with "what's included in ROMs". I'm fine for now with a bloatware free installed 2nd gen AT&T (beside the power sucking radio) and the SPB products and would rather like to see "plain pale ROMs" with just the major fixes (like camera fix) and perhaps a good task manager and HTC Audio. Everything else can be installed, though a little bit more work (or configure UC), but at least only what I like. Not that an HTC Home, Weather, etc. is bad but that's my opinion

I thought this was what I was looking for... but it does not have a Speed Dial button... what gives?
Please tell me that you are kidding! Set speed dial up in the options and LOONG press the number. 1 is voicemal per default.
Edit:
It's "menu" (right softkey) - speeddial in case you are lost...
Honestly, did not know that worked... thank you!
links removed.
it does look good but my personal preferance is not to make my device look like an iphone otherwise id of brought one.good work though.
This Looks Great!
Well done!
very cute, great work snachez
if you're going to use HTCHome plugin, then there is no need for a SMS/messaging icon - its already built into that plugin
how did you set icons on your today screen like that. i really like your theme and those icons seems very functional. i want just that today screen and other skins but not all the extra software
ok ultimate launcher. nvm
sanchez, the more i look at those images, the more i can see myself using that theme. it looks very functional. i like. i will give it a try when it comes out
snachez,
Am so glad you's taking part in talk like a pirate day... Arrr!
Psi
looks good. when is it gonna be available?
I really like this, it still had the Dark Kaiser style, with some Iphone-y sensibilties lol. Definity one to keep tabs on, good work
Edit - 100 posts, baby!
I like the look, it would be nice if you would consider using Throttle Launcher as another base to do a version.
There are several advantages to using TL:
1 - Its highly user configurable (everyone has different apps they want to access).
2 - It has really nice thumb scrolling
3 - It can easily load the HTC Home screen plugin (and others) on any of its Pages.
4 - It will soon have its own customizable readers and calendar.
Which gives it a much stronger all around integrated interface.
Question - does your dialer have the redial problem most custom dialer have?

Thanks for the comments. I haven't played with TL at all so far, but once I'm satisfied with this release and get bored, I'm sure I'll need something else to occupy my time The youtube vids look pretty cool.
As for the dialer, its Paul DeGroots version - I never need redial so I'm not sure, but there are a few known flaws with a dll thats being worked on presently I believe.
It looks great! Please keep us updated with any news.
I really like the looks of it all. If i was going to re-flash my Tilt sounds like it would make sense to do a lite version and then add this it when available. Does that make sense? Is there one that you know of that has some/most/any of this already included?

Yep, UL and some customised iphone-like icons I've gathered from around the web. The links on the HTC Home sms/email counters do take you to the relevant screens, but I also have two other email accounts set up on the device so I find it useful to have access to those at a push of a button from the front screen (and the menu->sync option syncs all the boxes , not just the default one)
You'll be able to easily change it using the UL preferences to suit your tastes.

I'm not much into flashing actual ROMs personally, so I plan on releasing this theme with all the cab packages required (once I've got permission from the various authors of course.) - as well as an online update repository making all the cabs easier to find in one place.
This can be installed over a default factory ROM to make it behave the way I feel a device of this great capability should be accessed.
I'm thinking maybe a sashimi script ? Any ideas ?
Any of the commercial software I use will be substituted with trial versions and require purchase if you want to use it permanently, or swapped easily to the program of your choice.
sounds good. can't wait.
Yes I agree Looks good Like the icons they aren't as cartoony as the iphones go for it !!
preview update (13.09.08)
Updated with a few more screens & swapped from HTC Weather to Rumbals Diamond WeatherPanel (great stuff, support his work!), a new SPB Calc skin I just finished and changed over to Kies Carbon Keyboard skin for the time being. Reload the image in the first post if you'd like to see the changes.

hi guys i have just updated my rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=506533
and it has a old style incoming call screen also a really small dialer any one got any good apps i could use... thanks for any info.. helps if there free apps thanks
Great ROM...
I've tried that particular ROM myself, it's really good. The dialer you're refering to is the default Microsoft dialer. You've probably been using a ROM with the HTC dialer, which has bigger buttons and is easier on the eye. If I remember right, there is a reason why the ROM has the default dialer... something to do with the new lock screen I think?
Have a browse throught the forum where you got the ROM, the answer is there somewhere
Its in the second post of the ROM thread:
- HTC like dialer skin -
I said I was working on something new. Well, here it is!
First of all, you MUST be running Ivan's 0.7 or 0.5.4. This may work on other roms, but I have NOT tested it.
In short, this removes rosie. To be safe, make a nandroid before you install it. All Widgets/Sense Homescreen/all extra sense related apps are removed. A Full list is at the link below. It returns the phone to close to stock android. I'll be updating soon with a few more features.
More info at here.
Thanks!
EDIT :
figured out what it does.
thanks!
trying it now. Can't wait for it. Thanks for all your hard work!!
noob question! r u ready? whats senseless? is sence the main os thing kinds? on my task manager htc sence is like the main os, do u replace it with like aHome ir somthing like that?
sense is the overlay that HTC made for the phone. with the nice shiny user interface. senseless removes all of that and uses the stock android look, which many people find nicer. senseless also deletes any HTC sense releated apps that wont be used so the phone runs smoother.
thanks i really appreciate that help. im new to the android scene. its a little small due to all the different phones runnind different tweaks but i love the community so far. not like the psp or iphone one but i deffenitly like it, everyones friendly
Really looking forward to trying this out when I get home. First I have to install Ivan's, but this is exactly what I have been looking for.
You said it basically removes rosie, is that all? I could do that with root explorer, couldn't I?
thank you for this. applied this to my fav ROM instead of searching through root explorer for each sense apk. this made my fav rom a lil faster. thanks again for ur hard work
Works on Ivan's 0.81T2.
Now if can hack the incoming call screen it will be perfect.....
Is there any way to replace the HTC dialer on a Sense ROM with the Vanilla dialer? Dialer One has a TON of flaws (can't even call 911, let alone program the phone with it) that the vanilla dialer doesn't. Thanks in advance!

Instead of search search search, why don't you read read read?
"This Metamorph theme will change the buttons on the HTC dialer and the Phone apks to look more like the vanilla dialer. After appyling, you will get a FC on the phone.apk, but then it will go away and everything will be fine."
All this does is skin the HTC Dialer to look like the Vanilla Dialer. What my question was is if you can replace the HTC Dialer with the Vanilla dialer, and yes, I did search, thank you. I have seen some posts saying that it isn't thought to be possible, but that doesn't mean it is, nor that someone may know something else.
Had you not been so short with the search comment, I would never be this short back, but thanks, anyways.

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).
You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

Ahh, maybe that was the issue. I tried pulling them from a Cyanogen ROM (I think) and it didn't work. I'll give her a shot. Thanks!
