[Q] Is it possible to have the Stock 2.2 "phone" button behavior using ADW Launcher?
In 2.2, the phone button on the default launcher remembers the last "tab" you were on in the phone app (instead of always going to the phone tab it would remember if you were last on the Phone / Call log / Contacts / Favorites tab. The standard widget "phone" you can add always sends you to the phone tab.
I would love to use ADW again, but for me the always going to the "phone" tab dialer is a deal breaker. I have searched for an answer here and on Google, but could not find anything related to this issue. Any help would be appreciated.
Dialer One has that option (among tons of other options), if you want to try it.
I will give Dialer One a try and see how I like it.
I was hoping that the answer was easy, since it is obviously a widget that the default android launcher uses. I figured I was just not seeing it in the widget list or it was a shortcut that was obscure.
It is rare that I can't find what I am looking for on this site, but a couple of things are eluding me.
I have a Captivate running Cognition v2.3b2.
First:
Dial by Name: The Captivate dialer seems to only search from left to right when trying to dial a contact by name. I checked a friend's Epic 4G and it finds the pattern anywhere in the contacts name (even if i dial "mit", "jon smith" will be returned as a result to choose from). This is also how WinMo worked and I really miss that functionality.
How can I use the Epic 4G dialer on the Captivate (with 2.2)?
Second:
Stock Lock Slider: The Driod X has a lock slider that sets the phone to vibrate, rather than silent. Can this be used on the Captivate?
Thanks
It seems like I figured #2 out. I remember playing with the settings on the old Cognition ROMS without any luck. But, now it seems to work.
Settings --> Sound --> Vibrate = 'Only in Silent Mode' or 'Always'
Any thoughts on #1? Could that be as simple as a setting change too
Thanks
I just flashed Cognition v2.4 which is based on a Vibrant ROM and the dialer now searches first and last name (regardless of how I have the contacts sorted). It won't find any pattern like the Epic does, but it is good enough for me.
The Dialer is DialerTabActivity.apk inside /system/app.
You could try pulling the Epic 4G one and overwriting it.
I do not know what this would result in. Worth trying.
Hi,
I would like to have the Windows Call because the HTC Call is ugly. thank you
It's called the dialer. You can't delete it, but you can disable it via a registry change & restart.
HKLM:Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled=1
Change to 0, this will disable HTC's Dialer skin & enable the default WM Dialer. It supposedly saves 10+MB of RAM.
Note, this might effect your Topbar signal Icons as the default WM Dialer uses icons from shellres.192.dll instead of the phcanOverbmp.dll that HTC's Dialer uses.
Never thought of doing that but I made the change. I like the Windows dialer better too and it doesn't have that bit of lag that the HTC dialer does when you push the phone button. Thanks!
Keep in mind that you lose some important options - for example the WM dialer doesn't support video calling.
Also, the proximity sensor doesn't work with the WM default dialer too. You can always change that registry back to 1 though & restart again to get the HTC Dialer back.
Thanks again guys. I don't do video calling with my limited data plan but losing the proximity sensor functionality will be an inconvenince so I'm changing back to the HTC dialer.

I'm unsure, because the service would be still working. It's worth a try.
BTW I do not care about those "Thanks buttons". It's my hobby to help people, just like others helped me years ago.
It'sd normal to click thanks when someone help us i think
I find : Delete everything in htc volume
Great that it worked for you I had this strange feeling, that this could be connected.
Thanks,
How can I put the default calculator?
Thank you
Hi All
Is there a way to create speed dail in ICS???
I'm using AOKP 4.0.3 beta2.1 build23.
and I'm really missing the option to "slide" over some contact in order to call\sms
is there a way to put it back even with external app???
You can use an external dialer like Dialer One for speed dial.
There's also the "Direct Dial" widget
thank you all
I hate the stock sms/mms apk (and i usually love it)
You can't set the max size for mms (whick is 3kB )
You can't change smilies key to new line key
Can't import/export sms from /sdcard/messages/smsXXX.db (had this feature on Acer E350)
No pop-up (CM10 feature)
Will the devs patch this apk ? Thanks

LOL just install an alternative keyboard app from the Play Store. Not that hard is it?
This is what is called user preference. You being the user don't prefer the stock MMS/SMS tools.
As a consumer this leave you with a few options. Return the phone. Or, like any other Power User that buys an andriod, go to the market and find one you do like?
I mean sheesh...Its like I am not even on XDA some days.
You serious OP?
-import your messages via an app
-use an alternate sms/mms app that supports pop up
-use a different keyboard

See me after class.
