I don't know about all of you, but the default Blur dialer is roughly 10,000,000 times better than WyContacts that is packaged with CM7. I can't stand the piece of crap anymore. It doesn't allow you to tap a number and have it pull in the dialer so it can be modified, the contact integration is wonky, the favorites list is shoddy... basically I hate it if you can't tell.
Is there a way to either get the stock Dialer from Gingerbread (from the n1 or ns), the Blur dialer, or some other dialer that supports the same feature set as the default or Blur ones?
Help?

Thanks, I guess. I thought it would be inferred I have already been searching around and not found a good alternative, else I wouldn't have bothered posting
Use go dialler in combination with go contacts, I'm sure you'll like it.

Thanks, this one seems to be the closest one available. It's only missing the "Recommended" Favorites. However, where most of these dialers are only 60% of what I want, Go Dialer is more like 80% what I want. None of the other free ones on the Market are very good at all.

Go Dialer is indeed great! but the problem is that missed calls are generated and not cleared unless explicitly swiped or cleared with button.

is it me or is the ICS dialer EXTREMELY laggy opening and the xt9 dialing is always being on dial presses. GB roms = click on dialer and instant opening, this one i have to wait up to 3/4 seconds.
Yes, I have also had some lag from opening up the ICS dialer. I use Apex launched and I set the double-tap gesture to open up the dialer and it is kind of slow. BTW, it's hilarious when you say 3/4 a second as if that was so slow haha. All joking aside I know what you mean though, it would be nice if it was instant.

he meant 3 to 4 seconds, not three-fourths of a second.
Same problem here started a couple days ago. Whats even slower is getting the call log to show up. That's takes another 1-2 seconds. Weird.

Seems like deleting call list fixes the lag for me, although i wish it never would show text in the CALL LOG! makes no sense and fills up way to earily for me

I really really hated this on my GS2 and was so pleased they stopped listing texts in the "call log" on stock Galaxy Note gb. Now it's back on the ICS ROM....
I have definitely noticed some serious lag all around in the phone app. Takes too long to load, favorites is laggy when loading up and it feels like forever waiting for the call ended screen to go away.
Thanks for the clear call log suggestion. Will
try this.
Update: app is a little more snappy after clearing call log. Favorites still a little laggy and call ended screen shows for way too long.

Yes it does make it a little faster. Something is def screwy with the phone apk as I even got it to fc by trying to add a favorite. Do launchers have anything to do with it? I'm on Apex as Nova gave me nothing but lag. Maybe I will try TW for the hell of it.

You can hide text messages from the call log by Menu --> View By --> All calls. It makes the call log come up instantly, but the dialer still takes 3-4 seconds to load.

Is that the launcher that CM team uses for CM9 ? If so that was a sweet launcher.
Edit: yup it is CM9 launcher. Loving it. Thanks
Right on, glad I could help
This is not good. I'm using stock GB and experiencing couple of second delay on dialer. I was really hoping ICS would fix this. I hate keep mentioning my iPhone experience but iPhone dialer was very fast and phone experience was much better overall...
Hi guys, give a try to Ray Dialer free app on market, seems to open very fast even if is not in memory , but leeks some functions like contacts, favotites and the option to add a new contact without having to call it.
Samsung dialers used to include a function where you could slide right over a contact to call and slide left to message them. They removed this a while ago and changed to the default android behavior, so I switched to using exdialer since it retained this. Just the other day, exdialer was updated and no longer does this in the contacts (still works in the recent call list) . I've looked around a bit for another app that has this functionality, but I can't seem to find one.
Anyone know of one out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Any and every Samsung TW(touchwiz) based rom has this function. Shostock, Aberration, all TW roms. Cm9,AOSP and AOKP roms DO NOT have this feature. So you need to try a TW rom, I dual boot Shostock2 and Aberration, and both have this feature.
He's talking about alternative dialer apps if I'm not mistaken. I don't use any, so unfortunately i can't help.
exDialer in the Play store. It's free and has the swipe to call/SMS functionality you're looking for.

Nope, as the op mentioned, it was removed in the latest update (or at least doesn't work correctly on JB ). The toggle is still in the settings, and it works from the call history, but swiping left or right in contacts just changes pages.

It still works in exDialer. You have to click the button in preferences to allow swiping to dial from contacts. I've just tried it and confirmed it still works. However, I don't know how it worked before as I've never used it before today, so not sure if it's a new setting previously unavailable.
Also, I'm running Task's AOKP JB. Make sure you set a # as default, too, the first time you try it for each person.

Yep, I'm an idiot. There are actually TWO toggles to enable swipe a contact to dial. The one towards the top of the list is for the dialer only, and then there is another one lower in the list for contacts.
Thanks JankAU for pushing me to figure this out - it had been a moderate annoyance. Hope this also helps out the OP.

No worries, brother. We've got bigger issues, like keeping Task around, ya know? And to be honest, I thought you were right the first time because I was swiping from history. I had to figure it out as well, so it worked out for both of us!

Thanks for this! I got the update through play store last evening. To be honest i'm not a huge fan of the new style, it seems very much like the iPhone version of google maps, which i'm not a fan of. I really dislike how the menu button doesn't do anything.
I went back to the old Google maps. Not a fan of the new one at all.

One for work and one for home. Really helpful for everyday I work. I know if I gotta bust A$$ and get moving or can take it easy and just go about my morning. Really hope they bring that back.

I haven't seen anyone talk about this launcher, but it is awesome. Yes, you have to pay for it, but with the amount of customizations available it's well worth it. I know I'm a newb around here, and this post may not be taken seriously, but I thought I'd try to get a great dev paid to keep up such great work. Best feature that I've been looking for for over a year is being able to put widgets inside a folder on your home screen.
And that's my 2 cents. Please don't be too harsh, remember I'm a newb around here.

This is the "Tasker" of launchers. It's incredibly powerful & customizable. Just a bit of a learning curve. But much like with Tasker, once you do a few things, the rest gets a lot easier to figure out.
I actually got frustrated the first time I tried the free Lightning Launcher. And gave up on it the first day.
Read your thread and got the ambition to try it out again.
Really glad I did.
Nova Prime has been outstanding for me, but I was missing some customization options and Nova Prime developer team has not responded to my inquiries. So I'm going to double-down and watch a couple Lightning Launcher videos and figure it out.
I really, really like that it lets you have multiple home screen/profile setups. So if I'm right, I can pull up a different homescreen setup for each Tasker profile I have set up.
Also, there are profile/themes you can download from Play Store that give you some pre-arranged fancy-ass customization. Just to get you started.
Tsf shell is the best launcher I've found.

Not for the faint of heart...
I love Lightning Launcher and can't say I did the first 5 times I tried it. At first, it is very intimidating for those that are used to the normal/simple way of laying out your homescreen/desktop. I have tried pretty much every launcher out there and love the benefits everyone provides, but have to admit, they are all essentially the same ole desktop, offering nothing truly innovative.
If you want to see the power of LLX, are worried about bugs and improvements, check the Google plus community: https://plus.google.com/115359051724948606262/
Again, this is only for those experienced enough that want something absolutely unique. If you are content with basic folders, simply swiping left/right and having the normal desktop setup this wont be for you. If you actually want freedom to make your desktop look the way you want, give LL a try.

I haven't had any problems with it at all. The customization is still amazing, and everyone in the g+ forum is nice and helpful.
