I accidentally bumped a thread in the Desire forum in my searches on this same topic...
Anyway, I'm wondering if it's possible to include T9 style contact searches in the standard AOSP dialer. It's pretty much the only feature I miss from Sense, and I'm hesitant to go back to a Sense ROM just for that. I've tried every dialer / contacts replacement I could stand to look at from the Market, and none of them quite meet the mark.
Any replies (even telling me it's impossible and to give up my DREAMS) are appreciated, thanks!
Dialer One or Smart Dialer don't have what you seek?

they both have really great T9 contact searches, I just strongly disliked the visual style of both
thankfully I got pointed to the ThunderShed CM7 mod, which has the stock dialer's visual style that I love so much, as well as built-in T9 contact searching, so I'm pretty happy
thanks for the reply though!

Hey Guys. I need help.
I am using Darchdroid 2.7 and everthing is AMAZING!
Everything but the keyboard
I am glad there's finally a Voice Input option, but the keyboard looks horribe. And I know it isn't supposed to be like that because the old one doesn't.
See attachments for examples. The first two are the ones with voice from Darch's Google ****s and the last is the original eclair keyboard. As you can see, the sidebars and the bottom strip are weird.
I told Darch, and he asked me to get someone to fix it (unfortunately, I can't cause I dont know how)!
Please anyone. Thanks in advance.
Guys! Does no one have a fix??
just download and use the htc keyboard! i find it much better
Hmm.. and how might I do that?? And does it lag like it did on Stock Hero?
Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to q&a
look for the htc ime xda mod keyboard, search for it on the forums and you shouldnt experience any lag with it
Ok so I basically tried all keyboards that are on the market.. I have swype and slide it as well.. But I find myself going back and forth between all my keyboards and can not get comfortable sticking with one. I use a keyboard for like a week, if that, and switch to another one or search for hopefully a newest one. Its like I can't find one that suits me..
Does anybody have any recommendations on this??
Thanks for your help =)

I find Swype the easiest...Anyway keyboard choice is just everyone's personal preference. Just use one you find comfortable.
I like swype but don't like how you have to go over certain letters twice for a particular word such as; "choosing", "messages", " button", etc...
If I had to pick between SlideIt or Swype, I would have to go with SlideIT.. But I don't like how you have to press the "?123" button for symbols and numbers.
I agree that swype is easier, but I guess I'm jus to picky lol..
swype for me as well. but i saw something about this guy installing the droid x keyboard on his nexus. it has multi touch... i believe he also got the apk somewhere in here.

You don't have to go over them twice. You can just scribble on the letter. Go look at swype hints and tips. They got some really neat things to speed up texting.
But I use swype or better keyboard.

I forgot I was in a Nexus forum. :X I probably need to take my post-happy self back to the Dream. Either way, go look at their tips and tricks. If you can memorize them all and learn to use them out of habit... NO ONE you know without Swype will be able to text faster than you.
AS for built in keyboard, I like it. It has NICE response speed and when every other keyboard lags, it doesn't. Like you said, though, the keys are just too small. :|

I too am a fan of swype. Although the Desire keyboard is a pretty nice alternative...

... Hahahaha! that made my night, i needed that laugh lmao
i knew the basics of swype and had swype for awhile now and i guess i didnt know about other tricks and what not, thanks for sheadin some light on that.. ill go check them out now.. im sure its on the swype website, so thats where ill look first =]
Again, thanks! i hope i can get used to this swype thing because i find myself thinking where to slide my finger when using slideit and swype.. when i just use a regular keyboard my fingers seem to jus "flow" like its just reaction (if that makes sense).. i know where all the keys are based on memory so i dont think about it when i type, swype on the other hand.. I do lol.
Im sure its just a learning curve.. so when i get frustrated doing swype, ill stick to it and not switch to another keyboard so itll become 2nd nature..
... All in all i appreciate it man, ima go check out the tips now lol
Time to beat that record!! haha.. =]

... I didnt know like 85% of what i just saw about swype!! HOT DAM!
Im really gonna push myself into learning Swype to its full potential now! OMG...
Swype is faster in portrait mode, plus it feels very natural once you're used to it. On the downside, typos are a pain to redo, usually requiring you to retype the whole thing. Plus, there's almost no spellcheck ability.
In landscape, I can type faster with Better Keyboard. I'd wish they'd incorporate the punction in the suggestion bar, but I'm good with press and hold.
I love Swype. I switched to it about a week ago and I can type really fast!!
I was using HTC_IME and I still might be using it if it supported multitouch. I'm waiting for the Droix X keyboard to be ported over, that looks promising.

I haven't yet seen ANY keyboard on my Nexus (2.1, stock, not rooted) work with multitouch.. I use HTC IME that was modified from here to include smileys and a few other things.. Works well for me.
If you looking for a non swype style keyboard, I really like Smart Keyboard Pro. Its my daily driver, although I do also have Swype installed.
EMAIL me if you interested in trying a black or blue themed swype.
(if you are having problems with it not composing an email correct you can hover or right click the link.)
more colors will come as needed
Go to my swype link in my sig for more screen shots of colors to come. These will all be converted to TB soon enough.

SCREENSHOTS
Also:
to avoid the htc pop up when selecting a word to change in swype. Instead of tapping the word twice, only tap inside the word, then tap the swype icon to bring up the word choice window.
Original images for mine were based of previous swypes made by Bilbobrian
I hope it does, cuz I registered my last phone on swype beta...
If it comes preloaded there is no need to worry about all the swype beta stuff. Plus it allows everyone who is going to make full themes able to include themes for swype also.
the htc evo had an update to include swype so Im almost positive that the thunderbolt will... I mean the dam my touch slide has swype stock
Just picked one up.....oddly...no swype!

Why is it odd? It was never advertised to have it @[email protected]
Has HTC ever launched a phone with it? Seems like they make a deal with swype later in the game.
anyhow.. as much as it sucks that they didnt include it... wont stop everyone from having it.
I need to reset up my dropbox it seems. I have an apk that might work, was built for the inc, but since the inc has the same resolution it shouldnt be a problem.
Anyone wanna try it out? send me a pm or email.
Also if anyone was part of the old beta, and still has the apk on your old phone, try installing it on the TB, if it works could you send it my way, I could make a few themed apks from it.
I wont beable to post direct links to the themed apks, cause that would be warez ... but I'll do what I can.
open Beta
The beta is open get in while you can!
https://beta.swype.com/
Im already part of the beta, but im still on the X and it wont download to my phone, because i cant get past the DISABLE SWYPE part
I installed the Swype Beta and it appears to not insert spaces automatically in the Sense SMS app. Emails works fine.
Kind of a deal breaker for me, since I liketohavespacesinmysentences.
Check you settings in swype make sure the spaces option is endless

It's enabled because it works fine in the email app.
I also noticed the same thing in sense sms, I use handcent anyway. I was able to enable the beta on both my fascinate and tb.
i hope that its a bug that can be fixed. i actually like the sense apps. damn cant wait till they root the phone and we can get android 2.3 on here.. native SIP calling over 4G will be awesome
No Swype
Picked my Thunderbolt up this morning and I will say 4G-LTE is DAMN FAST.
Phone didn't come with Swype but the beta is still open to the public and I just went and installed it and it's working just fine.
Seems the auto-spacing and auto-capitalization is definitely a bug on the Thunderbolt as well.
It actually was advertised and Verizon covered up the swype on the display with DLNA stickers.

Davezaff, we got a lot in common, TB, fascinate, xoom, just sucks I am not in a 4g area.
it looks like there are several known issues already popping up in the beta bug reporting forum.

To be expected, as it happens with every new phone.
I have full confidence the chefs around here will be cooking up some superb replacements in short order.
hi everybody
i need a dialer like dialer htc sense for my phone.i raealy need smart dilaer and search in my contact when i am dial any number like sms search...i use elelinux 6.2...can you help me?can you port phone.apk from other rom and install?i see phone.apk in wildfire 2.2 without htc sense rom...
sorry by writing
tnx
Hi there
You can try Dialer One, or Youlu adress book.
Both have smart dialing.
I'm unsure if dialer can be porter to AOSP/CM..as sense apps require sense
I've tested many smart dialers like the Sense's one, but any of them is as good as this made by hTC. They're too slow, at least on Heroes
thanks so much
you could try touchpal dialer bin using it for a while now and i like the way it looks

Yeah, the latest version of TouchPal is really nice. Much better than any of the alternatives I've tried.

Touchpal is awesome....but nothing beats the original sense UI.
Very good looking and fast on my Hero with CM7.
One thing that annoys me with external dialer apps is that when I miss a call it stays missed in the status bar even after I open it and return the call with Touchpal.
This problem is being fixed by opening the native "phone" app.
No searching for a solution on this one
Cheers!

Dialer2 works smoothly on my hero
hi guys, since I'm back to kk for some time (pretty frustrated with all other sony "updates"...) I am looking for a nice dialer replacement including also its own InCallUI (stock ones are so bad and sluggish....) but can't find any in xda do you know any?
I am using right now a third app from the store (true dialer) which is very nice, but it does NOT have its own InCallUI, so the sony one is still used and don't like that.. do you guys know any good full dialer replacement solution for kk? for LP there are, but not for KK
TIA!
Anyone, I'm also curious?
