change phone dialer ?

IS it possible to change the phone dialer software ?
I have the t-mobile uk phone dialer right now, it seems pretty damm basic, would have thought there are better ones out there, or plugins at least ?
Can anyone put me in the right direction ?

Search for 'eten dialer' and .. 'smart dial'

I know this is not a vote, but in terms of usability (both size of the keys and screen contrast), Vilem has not steered you wrong. This is the best dialer that I've used.
However - keep in mind there is no landscape verison yet, AFAIK.

I second that.

Cheers. Installed
NOTE: Landscape is also available now. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48325
Just one problem for me, I still get crappy t-mobile logo, but I am on vodafone, would love to remove or change that. Any ideas.

Weird, you shound't have the logo once you have eten dialer installed.
Anyway, see if this helps

hamin, your the man, this does the trick, although having hard time as it seems to alter the colours, but I can live with that.
Thanks man.

Gotta' agree -- the Eten phone dialer is THE way to go. I've been using it for quite some time now. I don't think I could EVERgo back to the original phone dialer. . . bigger buttons, custom skins ... couldn't ask for anything any better!!

Single button issue?

I am not trying to troll, but I am genuinely curious.
I've played with a NC at B&N and it seems like a pretty sweet little tablet for the money, but how is this thing gonna run a custom build of android if it only has one button on the front?
Has anybody been able to make a version of android that works with a single button?

Check the forums here.....now that this is rooted, a bunch of us are already running a wide array of apps with no issues.

The other soft buttons are screen the bottom of the screen in all non full screen apps. Works quite well actually.

Nice!
I've already got an ipad, but I'd buy one of these just to fool with if it gets enough support on here.

Now you can remap the vol + and vol - to back and menu.

I'll be quite honest, IMO this is one of the best Android Tablets out right now. It by far has the best screen in class. There will be support

The single button issue has been overcome in this post:

Then what about adjusting the volume? Can't software buttons be implemented like on the Archos 70?

How can I remove this ?

I believe the only way to get rid of blinkfeed at the moment is to use a different launcher. If you use sense your stuck with it. You can make it so it's not your homepage though.

Thanks for the reply man. I did move it all the way to the right just to get it out of my way lol. But with only 5 screens (im use to 7) its kind of a waste of space. Theres other stuff i could use that screen for. If i knew where it was located maybe i could decompile, remove and recompile. Thanks for the response man,

You're welcome That's really my only problem with this phone. Even though I am starting to get used to it and use it more, I really wish HTC would have made it optional instead of forcing it on us.

Have you gone into the settings and enabled other sources? I hated Blinkfeed until I realized you could get stuff from all sorts of things like mags, websites, sports, news, etc.
But yeah, third party launcher is the only way to "disable" it.

It's not possible to remove blinkfeed from sense. The person who said you have to use a different launcher is correct.

I'd echo the note of using a different launcher. If you are particularly fond of the Sense launcher though, you can always add more home screens and change the default homescreen to point elsewhere (say, screen #3 or so). Blinkfeed will always be on screen #1, but you can ignore it this way.
Of course, many alternative launchers won't work with Sense's widgets, so be sure you're aware of that before you make the jump to any particular one! I do believe I saw that there was some work on hiding blinkfeed, though; unfortunately, it doesn't seem like it's a simple fix.

Yeah, its literally embedded into the launcher...its hard coded in.

Have you tried setting it up for your interest? I thought it would be annoying at first and was very annoying for the first couple days and almost installed a different launcher. Till one day I started messing around with it and now I use it daily. It's nice to be caught up on what's going on with technology and science without having to search the web for the highlights. Saves a lot of time.
I get this question a lot working at sprint. Customers come in all the time asking how to get rid of it. Instead of showing them different launchers I show them how to set it up and they all walk out happy without wanting a different launcher.
This is something new and very exciting for smartphone owners. But I do agree it would be nice to at least have the option to remove it for the people that buy a smartphone and only want to make calls with it.

Google+ and Flipboard are far superior tools if you're looking to keep up to date, but for casual reading it's pretty hard to argue with something that's built in.

[Tip] Coping with new notification quick settings

Hello,
Some (most?) of us dislike the new layout of the quick settings, just thought I'd share a tip I discovered by accident.
If you place your thumb on the LEFT of the bar and hold it for 1 second, the bar will appear for a bit. drag it down and you'll get your notifications. if you do the same on the RIGHT you'll get quick settings. it's a great way to avoid an extra keypress or using two fingers to swipe down (who thought that would be a good idea?!)

This has already been talked about.
Personally I really like the new style, I imagine there are a lot of people that do, they just don't shout as loud as those that complain.

I don't dislike it really, I'm just used to the old way. I'm sure it'll grow on me with time.

Yes, that's true.
It always takes people time to get used to change, but if we didn't have it we would still be playing snake on a nokia 7730

I love the new style, the old one was horrible(a little more practical though)

Possible to reverse swich and back hardware buttons no root?

know I can do this with root? there is the all in one gestures app but it uses to much battery it seems... I'm coming to the Samsung world from using nexus so the reversed buttons are confusing...

You mean swap the capacitive buttons?
It should be possible by modifying the key file, but come on really?
It's the same with my htc and my tab, buts it's no big deal.
In any case you need root.

ya too bad Google couldn't standardize these... I know it's fairly minor but sucks to have 2 devices with different buttons...

Nothing to do with Google, it's Samsung being backward as usual.

I meant that Google should enforce the buttons to keep the ui consistent across all the manufacturers...
found a OK solution just hold tab upside down then buttons are at least on right side.. also easier to hear speakers when they fire up...
