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.

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!!

I figured out how to fix this awhile ago, and posted the fix to the Vodafone forum. Basically I have overwritten the background "bubble" so that the text can clearly be read.
Attached is the manila file. Just use Total Commander to place this (unzipped) file in your Windows folder on the device.

I have used the black 'fix' theme rather than flashing my VF uk one (agreed the red is stunningly bad!).
Would doing a full flash rather than a theme give me any benefits, eg speed or memory usage etc ?

Well for me it wasnt just the bubble but i dont think a big white background suites the phone as its black and silver... and you cant have a black background or dark one because all the text is well, Black...
Well the official WWE Rom is newere than the vodafone one so probably has some fixes, can't say its any difference speed wise as its just as responsive and average memory is 50%...
the main advantage is that you get the HTC WVGA YouTube application back which vodafone took out. if you download the google one its only really crap bd quality clips... if you install any other youtube application from say the Diamond2 it breaks the video gallery as it messes up the filters...

Hi, just today I received the official update to Android 4.1.2, and thinking it might actually be a good thing I updated it (oh silly me).
So, update went ok and... I absolutely HATED it.
Is there any way I can go back to my previous Android version? Which I believe was either 4.0.3 or 4.0.4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Whats wrong with 4.1.2 ?

Indeed, what could be so bad?
I wouldn't know where to start. The Lock Screen now has new icons for sound/vibrate and a new horrible distorted font for the time. Which is, you know, allright, I can get past that. Right on my Home Screen they changed several widgets - to worse - like the google search toolbar and the calendar, the ones I use the most. The calendar no longer has the option to display a tiny calendar instead of displaying my next events.
What else can I say? The interface in general has gotten a lot worse - and I don't just say this as a spoiled consumer but as a programmer. Lots of new icons are now much much uglier than before, and some almost seem like they were from a previous version instead of a new upgraded one (like the On/Off swich). Some applications are so bad I'm embarassed FOR them, like the new People application. It used to be pretty, dark background, contacts' pictures displayed nicely, etc... now its a white and baby-blue almost "metro" style app, contacts' pictures distorted... so disapointing. Looks like something someone did it as their fisrt android application and Google by mistake put it here.
Some new stuff that I didn't care about - new app for managing Files, but I already had QuickOffice, so it's just a waste of space.
When you slide the notification bar it now dims the screen progressively - also didn't care for that, I kinda liked the way it used to be.
The new Galery IMHO is SO much worse than the other one. I liked having the little bar in the bottom of the screen to fast foward through the pictures, now I don't have it anymore.
After all of this I have avoided using my phone at all. But the one thing I can not get past is the new keyboard. I have absolutely NO idea how this one is so ****ty. I used to type everything so fast and it would autocorrect me (and correct to the right words) and the prediction system was awesome too. Now I just get autocorrected into some weird acronyms that have NO meaning at least in the language I'm using them, like BWM, TR, etc etc... So I have to type every word like 3 times until I can finally get it right.

I want to downgrade too, I'm on Vodafone France 4.1.2, and I need to return to 4.0.4 Telcel Mexico, for warranty purposes, my phone speakers are useless now and I need a exchange or a new phone.

Having just come from the JB is out thread and the grumbling there I can't help but think you might be right. I have Jellybean on a Nexus 7 and aren't very excited about what it might bring to my Razr i? I'm on GB retail and may stick with ICS - more so as doubt there would be any backtracking? Not like ICS is bad anyway on the razr i. Only lag I get is with the circles widget, which I quite like. Use Nova and the lag disappears, as does the circles widget

Really? I do use the Circles widgets (also one of my favorites) and I haveno lag at all (now on JB and before on ICS).
Although I have noticed the battery is not lasting quite as much as it used to. Might update that list on why I hate JB.

hey simbad im from mexico too. in my case i killed my razr i going to ics telcel. i tooked it to telcel center. but i will be charged some money cause of the bootloader unlocked. but this monday will be shipped back to me. right now theres no way to go back to ics from jb so i guess we have to wait a little til some one knows how. good luck with ur i.
i'm at jelly bean retail brazil now, but every time i try to downgrade to ICS I had soft bricks because i'm only flashing recovery and system via fastboot, but im getting stuck at the bootloader unlocked sign... ideas? I think that the motobp and boot images are responsible of the hardbrick, maybe?

Is it lag - what happens is I either unlock the phone or during use I drop back to desktop and the desktop takes a second or two to rebuild. I have the circles widget, rain alarm pro and UK weather widget running out first page. Not a deal breaker though.

Hello. I'm looking to buy a Mi 5 and would like to ask some questions before I take the leap.
1. How is the bootloader unlock procedure? Is it known to be problematic or causing any issues with ultimately not being able to unlock the bootloader?
2. Watching reviews I've noticed a huge black gap in between the bezel and the actual screen (I'm talking about this). Does it really look like that or is that a MIUI-only thing?
3. What webshops would you recommend considering I'm from Europe (Croatia)? Which of them are the best overall?
Thanks in advance.
1. Its not easy, bit if you follow the guides on the miui forum, you will be fine. Just prepare yourself and read a lot. And be prepared for the supplier custom rom.
2. Yes there is a black gap.
3. I bought mine at geekbuying. Not sure about the others, but banggood and gearbest are good also. Check this one https://www.kimovil.com/en/where-to-buy-xiaomi-mi5-64gb

1. "And be prepared for the supplier custom rom". What exactly do you mean by "supplier custom rom"?
Regarding custom ROMs, do they all support all of the editions (Standard, Prime & Pro) perfectly?
As for the black gap you may check out the black variant.

In what way should I be "prepared"? Did you mean: just to know that I might have that rom installed (which is easily fixable with the link you sent)?
The black bezel is around 1mm,its not a problem and if you buy white phone(64 gb cost as much as black 32gb one)and some black case,you wont notice it that much, bootloader unlock is easy just fallow the steps, I received the unlock permission in around 3 days,plus there are a lot custom Roms,i bought mine from AliExpress for 250 eur 64gb white around 4 months(deam,time flies ) and so far no problems, I recommend it,but it's your your choice

Is the LED notification and capacitive buttons are too bright in dark?
DutchMan_1990 said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I never give them any thought. So my answer would be no. It's usually adequately bright.
Regarding the other questions:
Unlocking and flashing another rom was easy for me. The only problem was waiting for the permission from xiaomi (3 days) and then wasting a whole day trying to figure out why the pc wouldn't recognize my phone and realizing it was the cable. After that, I had lineage OS running in minutes.
The black edge is there for any rom. Honestly, I think you're gonna learn to ignore it the same way we ignore ads on a website.
---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------
Also, I got it from Gearbest. They take their time but it's overall a good service. Even got a refund for the malfunctioning cable I mentioned before. The phone was constantly under heavy discounts and I got it for relatively cheap.
Considering your points I would say, Yes it's a bit tough to get the boot loader unlocked. Again it's not tough too. You just need to apply for unlocking. Then they will reply you in 3-7 days. ( For me it took 4 days) then it's easy.
You just need to be in beta/developer rom. D O N E
Yes there's a black gap. As I'm using the white variant I know it well. But trust me it doesn't look cheap.
As I'm from Asia so I can suggest you any online shop. But you can Aliexpress.
( Few extra words. If you're a camera freak and tale much photo on low light then maybe it's not for you. It's good but not that good.)

Yeah they are bright,you can clearly see them even on bright day,but they wont mind you at night as well as i think they adjust the brightness according to the screen,well i think so maybe not,but they are not that bright at night to mind you when you use the phone.

Yop,
1. Very easy. There are a lot of topics to guide you.
2. Yes there some "black margin"
3. I live in France so I use Phonedroid but I think it's just for french resident and it's more expensive (due to the french VAT) but for us it's more easy to contact them if we have some problem.

True Hardware DC dimming
I own a Black Shark 3 Pro wich ''was'' great for my health.
I recently had a "light bleed" problem when enabling the Always On Display feature, or when the fingerprintscanner popped up. After i gave my Imei and SN to Tradingshengzen (the company where i bought it) they remotely solved the problem?️... Yes, remotely.
The problem is, that before i contacted Tradingzhengzen i updated the phone from MP2 to MP4 (the latest update) in the hope it would solve the problem. It didn't. What the update did do was exactly what i was afraid of, it made it ****ing impossible for me to look at. Your ****ing ''True Hardware DC Dimming'' function you so proudley advertise (THE ONLY REASON I BOUGHT A 800 EURO PHONE) is now ''useless'' crap. I experience as expected after updating any phone serious Migraines and heavy Eyestrain. These health issues control my life for over 15 years now, at least.
The update altered the PWM frequency. I can trow the phone away now. Why do you ADVERTISE Eye Comfort Certification and TRUE HARDWARE DC DIMMING if you are going to make it useless after an update. I cant't use the service app nor the black forum app because it's in CHINESE because i own a Chinese version with a Chinese ROM.
Black Shark, like any other phone manufacturer, GO **** yourself, thank you for your great service, Lies and Bull**** tech. You're all the same.
