Set Phonebook as default

Hi,
I am trying to set the Phonebook app as my default contacts manager but of course it does not offer that option.
Anyone know whether it is even possible yet or if there is another app that can replace the stock contact manager.
Im really just looking for an easier way of scrolling through my contacts
For example iContact burt edition for windows mobile

i wish i could just find phonebook, its no longer in the market. im assuming it was removed so they could start charging for it.

it's not listed with the featured apps on mine and checking with others on the #android chan, they dont have it either.

Thats odd, I am looking at it right now maybe its because I already have it installed on my phone or because google has damned me for the time being and hasnt allowed me to see paid apps!

the featured apps right now are
Wertago, wikitude, personal safety, imap, klondike, blackjack, brain genius, pro football live, ebay, picsay, shopsavy, telegraph, bluebrush, bonsai blast, myspace.
pm me the apk of it if you would!

I would love to have the phonebook apk back, if anyone could pm me as well.

Here's phonebook app.
Here you go, just rename it back to .apk and install.

dude, you FREAKIN rock !
thank you!

So it cant actually be set as default? maybe in future updates

I think it can not be set as default at this moment. I have searched for this answer a lot, but found nothing.

jus delete your orginal phonebook, back it up first, thats what i did

Where do you find the downloaded apk from the market?

I can't compare to Phonebook, because it's been so long since I've used that app. Acontacts (totally free) is the most full featured contact app on the market IMO, and allows you to set as default when you press the call button. Good call log which can be set default and very responsive dev, as well.
Another one I've recently tried is Easy Dial Pro (ya I know Pro usually means $, but it's free, also). I heard about it in a thread here. Not quite used to it yet, but it seems really good when I played around with it. The call log may be better than aContacts. Again, you can set Easy Dial and Easy Call Log as defaults.
Hope this helped.

When you press the call button it will come up with "Launch using Dialler/Phonebook" tick the "Always use this program for this function" tickbox and select Phonebook.
If that doesn't come up then you have the dialler set as default go into applications > manage applications and then click on dialler, press the clear defaults button.

Anytime you install a new application that can be set as default, you are always prompted for which option you would like until you default it in the checkbox. Last time I tried to clear stock dialer default (user error), there was no option (donut drc63) so I had to un/reinstall my dialer app to get the list back.

[Q] Smileys button in stock Message App.

Hey all, just giving you the heads up that I am a n00b when it comes to android, however I think I have read as much as I can on this issue and can't quite find what I am looking for, so.. time to ask you guys!
When I was using the stock (2.1) firmware that came with my Galaxy S, the stock Messaging application had a button for 'Smilies' which I could use to quickly add a in a text message.( or others if I long pressed the keyboard button)
I have recently flashed the the Doc_Kalpik Froyo JP6/JPM V6 ROM.
Now when I use the 'stock' Messaging application the 'Smilies' button has been replaced by a 'carriage return' key, which don't get me wrong isn't all that bad, but I am wondering how I can change it.
I am using Swype, but from what I understand this isn't necessarily a 'keyboard thing' or a 'Rom/firmware' thing as much as it is a 'Messaging application' thing.
Apparently there is a good messaging app (Handcent) that allows me to change some of the keys on the keyboard, but I would like to try to use the stock Messaging app if possible.
I can still access the smiley menu through the 'settings' key while typing a message, but I just wan't to know if I am able to toggle this keys functionality without requiring a new keyboard/messaging app.
Thanks in advance.

I guess no one knows what I am talking about?

Next coming:
★ More languages coming... AND MORE!!
★ Hide some system apps like browser, etc coming too!!

Hi there, actually that's the idea, no one can launch this application if it's hidden.
Althoug, you don't need to go to the app drawer again and lauch from there, you can just click the app name in our application and will be lauched (previously you must unhide) and when you finish using it go and hide again.
If you any better idea would be apreciated and studied.
(We are planing that the application can be launched althoug is hidden, always from our application) but the main problem of this option is that while the app is unhiden is visible from the app draw and we can not know when the application is closed so we can hide it again...
Any idea/sugestion will be appreciated!

New Version
Hi there, we have uploaded a new version where you can do batch operations, like hide/unhide multiple applications at the same time.
Lite version does not have this, because you can only hide one application.
In the next version we will release a widget to hide/unhide groups of applications at a same time from the home, and in the lite version to hide the application you have selected.
PS: Of course any idea, comment, functionality, etc would be appreciated to improve this app.

Awesome app bro

Just in case, has Motorolla modified Android for Droid X in some way?
Thanks!

[Q] tap to move cursor failure

Hi
I've finally had my phone back from the workshop after a malfunctioning speaker.
So, I flashed Modaco's ROM from his online kitchen, and I deselected a few options, which I though I didn't need.
Now, my problem is, I can't tap on the sides to move the cursor anymore.
Which program is this function within? Is it the LG Home, LG keyboard, LG message app or something completely different.
I tried using another keyboard on stock ROM, this was no problem, so I guess the keyboard is not the reason, but what should I avoid removing in the next cooking of a ROM, if I want this function to work?
thanks in advance

oops double post as I got an error message first time - please ignore this

This feature works on my phone with MCR FR12 whilst composing an SMS or email in GMail
Goto Menu > Settings > Gesture and make sure you have "Text input field" ticked as this enables that option

I flashed the ROM again, including stock LG Home, messaging app and keyboard... works now, but still dunno which of these disables the tap function

Well it works on mine with stock rom, but lg home deactivated so we might rule that out

Yeah, I froze my LG Home when I was on stock as well. But when compiling the ROM in the Modaco kitchen, I deselected LG Home, so there was no trace of LG at all.
I also use a different messaging app as well, but could the feature be within the messaging app og keyboard, even though they aren't used. As long they are installed, the feature is there?
Considering baking a new ROM without the LG Home again, but with the messaging app and keyboard perhaps...
Haven't had the time to bake with some options, and flash, and then try another bake, and so on, yet... but will be the case someday, if someone doesn't beat me to it

the feature is in the LG keyboard.

No quick actions in SMS notifications ?

Hi all !
I'm on 12.1.A.1.201 (dipesh1502 version, rooted etc.).
I wonder why there are no quick actions (reply, mark read) in SMS notifications. I thought those where standard in Android 4.3.
I believe it might be because Sony's SMS application does not support them, so I tried to replace them with mms.apk from CM10.2, but it just crashes when I try to load it.
I also found an xposed module (SMS Xposed), but it is said that it is made for AOSP sms app also.
Any solution to have quick actions in my sms notifications ?
I do not want to use a third party SMS app though, I'd like o use either Sony's app or the AOSP app.
Thanks !
Edit : sorry, should be in Q&A section probably ?

No bro, at this moment there's no solution if you want to use stock messaging app.. Imo it's not a big prob.
Cheers.

OK thanks for answering.
Too bad, I really miss those quick actions... I guess I can live without them.
Edit : I just discovered that CM's messaging app was available on the play store. Very close to stock, and with quick actions, perfect !
