[req] T9 contact search in AOSP stock dialer

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!

[Q] dark theme z1, possible?

Not possible, unless sony added this feature in their stock roms... this would require changing\Modifying a lot of system apps...

[Q] What is your favorite lockscreen?

I'm getting tired of the stock lock screen on the SP, so just wondering what are your favorite lock screen apps to use? I've tried widgetlocker before but not my type of thing.
I really loved the lockscreen of Gingerbread and ICS Xperia devices (If anyone knows how to get these lockscreens on Xperia SP please share!)
Sorry if this is in the wrong thread.

pretty photo is not suit me
i like use some simple picture with diffrent color or style,change sometimes for example when spring to summer

I also seriously love the ICS lockscreen.someone said that it will be very difficult to port it on our XSP.too sad i hope that someone will port it.

Android 4.2.2 Lockscreen with widgets, like Dash Clock, the best looking and useful widget for 4.2.2 :good:

cm10.1 lockscreen is the best.

I agree, Vanilla Android lockscreen is one of the best after having a Galaxy Nexus for a while, but I've gotten bored of that lol.

4.3 android dialer and camera?

Has anyone figured out how to get the stock android (aka not touchwiz) dialer and camera?

For your camera to have the ''original android'' look, I suggest you use an app.
You can use Nexus Camera (free) Some time ago, I used Camera JB+, and I really liked it (paid)
(I would love to give you the links from the PlayStore, but since I am a new user I can't post links yet
Regarding the dialer.. on 4.1.2 this was possible using the JKay mod, I'm not sure if you are familiar with it? It is a theme modification. At this very moment, there is no JKay available for 4.3, but people are working on it.
I hope this can help you with your questions.

Decent Lollipop/other lockscreen replacements

I got this phone (full disclosure: S6 Active) to replace my nexus 5 that stopped holding a charge. So far I really like it and through the Samsung theme store and Nova launcher, etc, I've been able to add enough stock Android to my phone to make it wonderful.
The lone area that I have NOT been able to get decent satisfaction is in finding a quality lockscreen replacement app. Ideally I'd love one that was an exact mirror of Lollipop and I tried a few that I found poking around the app store and they were either buggy messes or had very intrusive ads. I also tried Next lockscreen and have currently settled on Hi Lockscreen which, while adequate, isn't perfect.
The stock S6 lockscreen is crippled by being both ugly and not nearly as functional as I'd like (highlight a notification and then swipe? no thanks) so I'd like to find something better than both it and Hi Lockscreen. I'd be extra happy if I can interact (like delete gmails, etc.) with notifications from the lockscreen and not just open up into the app like in stock Lollipop but that's not a dealbreaker.
I'm willing to give anything a try - I look forward to your suggestions.
Thanks!

I used to use cover lock screen a lot on my N5. It's different and pretty cool

I just downloaded CM locker and it's great so far. It also works with phones fingerprint sensors (regular S6 that I have).

I tried cm locker and didn't care for it much. I've settled on acDisplay so far.
