Is there anyway to get rid of the stupid Motorola Dialer and load any of the T-9 Dialing HTC Dialer's? I've seen and tried AtakePhone and DialerOne and don't really care for them.
You can't load any of the HTC dialer apps because they all tie into the Sense framework.

Just out of curiosity... what didn't you like about DialerOne? I've been using it for a bit and, while not as good as the HTC options, I find it much better than the Moto Dialer.
I liked Dialer1 on my Eris, but really love the stock dialer on the DX
Has anyone been able to set dialer one as default dialer? Also after you start it the screen will go to contacts no matter what the setting is.

I downloaded Dialer one and install yesterday with no problem.
First time I went to the dialer, the launcher asked which dialer, and allowed me to set dialer one as default. Been working fine so far.
Dialer One rocks! I love how I can use the keypad to find a contact. That was the one thing I missed having since upgrading my O2.

For those like me that cant live without the practicality of the predictive text and contact of Sense but still like to experiment with every new gingerbread that comes out, this is what I found. GoDialer and HintKeys. They are free on the market and work pretty well for me, much like sense predictive text. If somebody find a better alternative than those apps, please let me know. Thnx and enjoy.

Im sorry, the go dialer app is included when you download Go Contacts... that's what you wanna look for in the market.

i prefer AContact by movesti than those dialers... IMHO its great
Cool, I'm gonna check that one too. For now the Go thingies are working great. Goto go 2 compare..cya...and thnx.

Hello everyone,
The only thing I miss from sense is that lovely proprietary T9 dialer, I've tried using 3rd party apps like rocket dial but I always like having core apps like the dialer cooked into the rom, it just works better as such. If anyone could point me in the direction of such an app it would be appreciated, if it had the stock 2.3 dialer icon that would be great also thanks in advance, cheers!

Or Dialer One.

Try rocketdial (free trial) or, Go Contacts (free). Nice interface, very polished.

TouchPal is also a nice dialler

Hey all,
Pretty into,my new D3 so far, but I'm not thrilled with Moto's stock SMS app. I'd like to use the go or enter keys to send, and possibly a nicer looking chat thread. Maybe with pictures for the contacts. What are you guys using?

I like the stock one.. just think the send button and the new paragraph buttons should be switched.

I've been using Handcent since I first got my OG Droid and still am on the D3. It is much better than the stock app.

Get Handcent and the Darkness theme for it. It's money!
I use GO SMS PRO and it works well. Made my own dark theme using the theme editor. It's free and has no ads like Handcent. Plus I feel like the settings are more organized and look more stock. Handcent is a little too colorful and iPhone-y for me.
Another GoSMS user here. Loving the experience so far.
Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Thanks, guys. Will be trying GoSMS tonight. I tried handcent in the past, but I just didn't like the look and theming was a hassle. Keep it coming if you have any more suggestions.
Don't forget to download the Theme Maker. You can use any template and redesign the conversation windows to your likings. It's too bad it doesn't let you change everything, but find a good template to start on and you should be satisfied with the results.
I'm sorry, but Handcent looks like crap. All the themes are low res and poorly done.
I'm using CM7 2.3.5 AOSP mms
Yep

same for me, but i notice with the droid3, when i select a background image for the msg conversations my choices are
1: I chose gallery and it gives me a POS blurry image.
or 2: astro filemanager lets me crop the image but it dosnt show and it changes my home screen bg
is there any fix for this??? or has anyone found a better app?
When I type in txt the "n's" gets left out, sometimes. A "space" is in place of the N. Annoying.
Another vote for GO SMS. Also check out the Transparent Space Theme for Go Sms (And also for Go Launcher EX)

I removed Visual Voicemail and I'd like a dialer that doesn't have that butoon, or one that would link to google voice instead. I know the holics dialer doesn't have that issue, but I was going through the holics rom, can't figure out which APK I need to replace, and I don't know that it would work or not. Any suggestions?

Using root explorer I cut and replaced the htcdialer.apk and my phone process kept crashing. Why?
EDIT: A reboot fixed the issue, but now i Have no dialer. WTF?
Did you install the apk or did you swap it?
I swapped it. I got it fixed using nandroid but it's the stock one with the stupid visual voice mail button

If you're swapping this apk, make sure you're also setting permissions to RW/R/R. That said, I found the .smali method that's calling VVM, I'm trying to figure out if I can make it launch Google Voice instead. Probably not that smart though.
Edit: Turns out I am that smart. I got it to launch Google Voice, but it launches to a blank screen, rather than your VM Inbox...working on it though. I'll figure it out..
Edit 2: Got it launching to GV Inbox. Changing the icon now.
Here is a flashable package for a modded HtcDialer.apk that includes the following changes:
-ATT VVM icon changed to GV icon
-GV icon launches GV inbox
I'd recommend a backup first... but I have confirmed it working for me

On the stock att rom making changes. I want to get the aosp lockscreen active. I read if you deleted HtcLockscreen.apk it would automatically to trigger the default aosp lockscreen. However I did just that using titanium backup and I still have the sense lockscreen. Anyone know something I don't? Thanks
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using Tapatalk 2
I'm using the PureVelocity custom rom, which has Sense, but it has the Advanced Settings app (looks just like LeeDroid Tweaks), which offers to activate the AOSP lockscreen instead of the sense lockscreen. I wonder if you can use that app to achieve this? I use (and really like) the AOSP lockscreen feature.
Seeing that you mentioned your HtcLockScreen.apk, I looked for mine. I was wondering if Advanced Settings app simply replaces the HtcLockScreen.apk with the appropriate AOSP one? Mine is 1.07mb and has an MD5 of fe31e3aaf782ce16b74ea5c08007ac25
I figured it out! Delete HtcLockscreen.apk and idlescreen_base.apk and reboot, and aosp all the way!

So apparently the HTC lockscreen is just an overlay. Maybe just maybe there is a full aosp rom underneath all the sense bs

One of the things I noticed also. When phone rings, I have to do the AOSP unlock screen, then hit to answer the call. Not *too* huge a deal for me... It's easy to get over because I love how stable this rom is.

I was just going to say, that won't work for calls. I'd recommend using Holics 1.2 (not 1.3) as it has an AT&T build.prop. The LeeDroid tweeks allow you to use the AOSP screen without any issues. Not sure what it does different, but it works.

Actually I had Holics on before, and the aosp option in Lee Droid tweaks did the same thing, unless it's fixed now

I only tried it out for a few minutes (I prefer the sense version for quick access to multiple items), but I thought I tested the calls and they worked... Now that I think of it, it's entirely possible I'm thinking back to my brief stint with the de-sensed rom... In which case, Wajee might me able to tell you what you need to do to properly remove the HTC lockscreen crap to make it work 100%.
I'm still on Holics 1.2 so I'll try it out for you right now.

Aye, as you thought, you have to unlock to accept a call if the screen is already locked. Works fine if the phone is unlocked when a call is placed or received though.
I think the issue is how sense receives calls. If you notice, you have the screen on and receive a call, then you'll have answer and ignore buttons. However if your phones locked you'll have call and ignore lockscreen shortcuts that you have to drag into a ring. I'm thinking it because the dialer is basically attached to the lockscreen, so the screen is still locked but it shows dialer information on it. Similar to how if you have a missed call, or the text it'll show you a picture of the caller on the lockscreen, or how it'll show weather information in the morning. I think the best solution would be an app that would auto unlocked the screen when receiving a call, or a custom aosp lockscreen that would show dialer information on it. I've been googling but all I'm finding is xda threads from other sense 3.6 phones that are having the same issue and people looking for solutions just like me.

I mainly want it because while I like the sense lockscreen, rosie is a "Just Ok" launcher. I like being able to use nova and apex, I want instant camera access. You can still use the lockscreen shortcuts with a different launcher, but rosie will continue to run and use resources and occasionally you'll find yourself on the rosie home screen, for no apparent reason. Usually happens to me when closing apps with the back button. I froze rosie with TB but guess what? Yep lockscreen shortcuts no longer work.
This is really what the worst part about sense is. It's literally a system wide machine that won't work right without all its parts.

Dear friend, you can try "HD Caller ID" from Play store, it is light weight but can do what you want
