Vanilla Dialer? - Droid Eris Themes and Apps

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!

smart dialer

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!

Great question about porting apps/programs back and forth though roms

Ok I been reading these forums for quite some time now over and over I'm always reading that this here feature or that app can't be add to that Rom because it needs to be a Google or HTC Rom. For example the IM app can't be added to any HTC Rom do to the frame work and other stuff but can easily be installed on the Google Roms. My question is shouldn't we be able to take a lot of features/apps of these HTC Roms and and with a few libs and build on another HTC build. Example. I'm running Haykuro's 5.0.2h shouldn't I be able to take features/apps/libs from hero and port some things over or vice versa? I'm just asking cause I love 5.0.2h cause its stable and the features are one of a kind flake the zoom on the camcorder no othee Rom has it that ive seen but I love the contact sync with Facebook that hero has and some other things. Id k could just port them over to each other it would be a great Rom can it be done they both HTC roms ?
Just bout every rom now has zoom for the camcorder and camera. I haven't found a rom that doesn't.
I dont remember it on the hero rom, the cupcake adp roms ( i didnt try jf's) i just flash back from ion which didnt have it, haykuro's 5.0.2g didnt have it, i mean i can go on for days. They didnt have zoom for the camcorder i have videos i have made but back to the question please. If you not going to post an answer you can keep your 2 cent and move to the next post and waste your time there thank you.
i like your question and idea, i hope u actually get some constructive feedback now instead of hearing how this that or this..good lookin out

Thanks alot man for the support I was just reading how some people took the Exchange emailing app/libs from the Rogers Rom and put it on their phone so there's got be quite easy to take features from hero and maybe even donut (if its HTC) and put them on my 5.0.2g

I'm on hero and have zoom, been on the dudes build (cupcake) and that has zoom. I mean I can go on for days to. And to answer your question as long as its the same based rom (htc or google) you should be able to port over.
Ok well if its so easy as people say then im wondering why people are having such a hard time porting over apps widgets, programs, etc from hero (not rosie). I would like to have the text, stock, weather widget, the contacts that sync with facebook, the browser with flash, and many more "hero" features on 5.0.2h. I mean they all htc frame work and i know some programs depend on the frame work of the rom but there has to be a easy way around it for non developers like me and others. Also if someone does know of a way can you show steps in the terminal emulator I'm in the hospital and don't have my laptop with me

The stuff you want ported over can't be done yet. If you want the weather widget they have one that looks like it but not the same.

need a bit of advice on some apps..

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:

Replacing the original Contacts and SMS interface

I just got a second hand Touch Pro and flashed an official 6.1 ROM obtained from htc.com on it. I managed to change a lot of the disgusting interfaces, but I couldn't find a solution for SMS and Contacts.
I was wondering, are there ways to somehow change the interface of those without flashing my ROM? I know apps like Easy Contact and stuff, but they don't seem to be fully replaceable (as in, Easy Contact will show up in the "Contacts" button in TF3D instead of the original Windows Contacts)
I know I'm asking for a question that I'm pretty sure everybody would ask. I swear though, I searched for the whole day but I could sadly find nothing related, so... help me out a little bit here?
Thanks in advanced!
sms to be
just search for sms skins i found some on this site the other day and they look way better
.
the lattest energy rom
here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536751
in its SMS its like the iphones with the blue and green speech bubbles
also it makes the phone alot faster with no lag
Thanks for the recommendations, but I don't think i really want to flash my ROM right now...
Are there any Contact skins?

Sense like dialer on vanilla ROM?

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
