Well, if you have any concerns about your security you could simply use the PM feature here in XDA. I think the way you expressed yourself saying you don't trust devs in development thread sounded rough. About support, can't say about email but here I think they are responsive enough even don't owe me anything since software are provided as-is. Coffee is about that "thank you" when you throw a buck or two to remove ads from the free software that took years of work to achieve the current status of development. Life is good.
[Android Apps and Games] vertigo_2_20:
Ah, I think you misunderstood. I wasn't referring to ExDialer, it's the True Phone devs I don't trust. I was saying that in response to the person suggesting that as a replacement, simply sharing my experience with it, which is that the app itself is good, but the developers seem, to me anyways, untrustworthy, an opinion that has been reinforced by their refusal to respond to emails. And I'm happy to pay for apps, and have bought many over the years, but I also don't like supporting apps when the developers do things I don't appreciate and, worse still, don't respond to their users. If someone would make a dialer app that shared many of the great features of ExDialer and True Phone and that was open-source (ideally) or at least trustworthy, I'd happily pay for it. Unfortunately, I've yet to find one, leaving me going back and forth between using True Phone, which I'm no longer using, and ExDialer, which is dead.

Anyways, I'm going to edit my initial post to clarify which app and development team I was referring to.
[Android Apps and Games] Silvarro:
They started updating their app again after almost a year of no updates and they're pretty active in their thread on XDA developers.
[Android Apps and Games] o2l8:
Thank for sharing True Phone.

The best alternative I've seen.

It's my daily driver right now only the second app I've used that create an appointment from the context menu exists.
[Android Apps and Games] nxb:
Yea, I wouldn't trust truephone either. Facebook ads inside + russian yandex.
[Android Apps and Games] extractorx2:
Very much interested in the answer. Please Add this option, the dialer is awesome otherwise.
[Android Apps and Games] w2o4ts:
I have been using exDialer for quite a while now, and (with the addition of a 3rd party theme) I am quite happy with it. I only hope it continues to work with future Android versions, as it seems there is no development on this any more...

There is one thing I'm missing with it - same with most other dialers out there, actually.

The T9 keypad layout for my home language (Greek) follows an obsolete (and quite frankly, entirely stupid) mapping, dating back to the classic old Nokia phones (with physical keys) from the... previous century.

A more appropriate mapping would be the one adopted by HTC (virtual) keypads, that maps greek characters according to the layout followed in full QWERTY keyboards, but this unfortunately never found its way to most 3rd party apps like exDialer.

So, I've been looking for a way to change the layout of the (greek) T9 keypad. Searching in this thread has yielded no results (meaning either there really is nothing to find, or that I was just using the wrong search terms...) and going through all 266 pages hunting for this would be a rather daunting task.

Does anyone know of any method to achieve this - either discussed here, or even perhaps through some 3rd party app...?

Decompiling the app, I *was* able to find a couple of seemingly pertinent files, but without knowing (exactly) what I was doing, it felt more like groping in the dark...
[Android Apps and Games] TechGuy77:
Well Google just removed this app from the play store due to it accessing your call log because you grant it access to your call log. Duh! I chose to keep it. Now i guess the only place for updates is here. Love this dialer and paid for it.
[Android Apps and Games] Jack_Surfer:
Hello guys,

I use exdialer since the "stone age", but after exdialer being removed from Google Store, I have a strange issue.

Each and every day I have to uninstall and reinstall again the pro-key.

Besides that, to be able to use it, I'm forced to install Amazon assistant.

Next problem appeared after I installed OneUI beta and installed my apps from backup using MyBackupPro.

That is that I can't find where the confirmation of exdialer is located now :/

It doesn't even appear in the Applications in my Note 10+ settings.

How to setup the app now ??

Any help od you would be of high value for me.

Thanks a lot in advance.
[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
My custom exDialer app doesn't show call history anymore since update to LOS18.1. I try a newer version, but then I don't even see my contacts. Well, it works well for many years without updates.

Is there a way to grant call log access? Well I gave all permission, but still don't see the call history.

[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
Problem is that Android 18.1 only allow one phone app to access contacts. As the app doesn't have the dial user interface, it's not possible to answer call or end one.

Solutions: I switch to simplemobiletools dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] zadox:
I have been using exDialier (Pro) like forever. Is there an alternative ? I tried com.simplemobiletools.dialer from F-Droid and I don't like it.
[Android Apps and Games] hosjackal:
Unbelievable! You are awesome man. I bought a New phone android 11, miui12) and exdialer didnt show cantacts.

But your suggestion works perfect. Thanks a lot.

Still i couldnt use exdialer for calling... but when first call asked me which dialer you want to choose, i chose Google dialer. So problem solved. I use exdialer for managing contacts, call history and swipe to call etc. instead of exdialer, Google contacts app calls the number.
[Android Apps and Games] chukundeda:
Ok, if someone still has a problem with exDialer contacts and call history, this is the method that I used on custom Android 11 (AICP).

I installed exDialer 1.98 and set all asked permissions. The contacts were not visible but after rebooting the device they show up. Now the problem still was with call history. I Install plugin for missing calls from exDialer's settings. Then I went into device settings and under all applications found exDialer, go to permission settings to check if everything is enabled and then under call history permission tap on "Show all apps with this permission". Then I disable this permission for the default call dialer (also if you have some other installed) and boom...call history's back. I suppose this method can be used also on Android 10 or 9 if you have the same problem.

Note: Leave contacts premission for default dialer active.

Cheers...😉
[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
Somehow I could manage:

-Set ExDialer to standard app, show everything, call not possible!

-Change back to simple dialer and removed permission call history from other app, only ExDialer as you say.

1) After reboot it get lost and I have to set again.

2) Somehow it works only with simple dialer as standard app. System dialer not work:

"Denying clipboard access to com.modoohut.dialer, application is not in focus nor is it a system service for user 0"

Same log when ExDialer set as standard app, no call possible.

Thanks for the workaround, I will try with Vers. 1.95 on LineagesOS 18.

Edit:

This Morning missed call, but call history not updated...

With workaround I get it on the list, but really inconvenient.

Then delet the call from list was not possible.
[Android Apps and Games] chukundeda:
Try with installing plugin for missing calls. You will find option for plugins in exDialer settings.

Also, leave contacts premission for default dialer, turn off the other
[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
It's not working...

On Android 11 only one phone app is working, unfortunately. As soon as I have to choose a dialer to make a call, it set the app to default and the call history in ExDialer will not get updated anymore. The Plugin doesn't ask for root and can't add the setting. Well, if the call history doesn't get updated, I don't have to delete anyway...
[Android Apps and Games] chukundeda:
I don't know man. I use it every day and have no issues at all. It maybe depends of kernel version and phone model. I have Moto Z3 Play wirh custom AICP android 11 ROM installed and routed with Magisk latest version app 23.0
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
No problem with the update of the call log on my Xiaomi MI 11 Ultra EU model running Andoid 11.
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
I was using exDialer for many years and was very happy with it. Today I updated my LineageOS to 18.1 and found out that this broke exDialer (no call history).

I tried removing the call history permission from all other apps, but there are other apps I use that need this permission, so I could not make exDialer work as needed.

I was looking for alternative apps (probably installed 20 today) but could not find the alternative that meet my need.

The feature I’m looking for are:

The app does not insist on making itself the default dialer (as this disables the built-in call recorder).

Option to set the language of the T9 dialer keypad (my system is in English, but my contacts are in my local language).

The option to set speed dial.

I would also like the swipe for call as in exDialer (but this probably too much to ask)

Do you know of a good alternative that have these features?
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
Yes, try this, the best alternative so far.

[App][4.0+] True Phone - Best Dialer & Contact manager replacement

[App][4.0+] True Phone Dialer & Contacts & Call Recorder True Phone has arrived to replace your stock dialer and contact manager and bring your dialing experience to the next level! It's the only one dialer app with full contact management...

xdaforums.com
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
Thanks,

But this app also change the default dailer, so I loose the call recording :(
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
True Phone has embedded call recording (anyway, one must try if that function works well for his phone).

Official EEA Rom no longer has an internal call recording function available in the Google dialer (as no Xiaomi dialer is included), so an external app is anyway required for recording.
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
Thank you!! I switched to True Phone.

The call recording is tured off by default.

To turn it on go to settings -> Incomming/Ongoing calls ->call recording :

1) Enbale call recording = on

2) Recording app = system app

This will switch to the LineageOS dialer once you press the record, and start the recoding using the build in tool.

The only thing that I miss from exDialer is swipe to call, but the world is not perfect :)
[Android Apps and Games] themissionimpossible:
You could ask for this feature to the developer in the True Phone thread.:)
[Android Apps and Games] chukundeda:
Hello! Just to edit my post #2664, for those how couldn't manage to get call history in exdialer on some custom ROMs with Android 11.

After trying and using AICP custom ROM for about 2 months, I decide to try LineageOS 18.1 also. I flash it yesterday and I face with the same problem like others and standard procedure that I describe earlier, didn't manage to help. But, I was persistent and determined to solve that problem. And I solve it....😉

All you got to do, after going through all steps I describe before is, go to phone Settings, then manage applications. There you will find default apps, open it and under Phone App change default to exDialer. I instantly get back call history, without reboot or any other action.

I hope this will finally help everyone who has been using exdialer for years and doesn't want to change it for alternative applications, just like me.

Chears!
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
@chukundeda thanks for the update!

I must also say that "True Phone" is a great replacement I could not find any thing that I miss from exDailer.

It have both call recording and swipe to call/text. (you need to dig deep in the settings).

And True Phone is active active app with last update from Mar 13 2021
[Android Apps and Games] tiniwings:
Swipe to call/message option is present in True Phone app.

[Android Apps and Games] Seraph|:
Hey everyone,

I have an issue with my exdialer and that only happened a few days ago...

When I tap on a missed call notification it directs me to the default Samsung phone app instead of exdialer.

I have exdialer set as default and it was all working out fine until today. I´ve tried to uncheck exDialer and then check it back, as default phone app. I´ve tried clearing chache on both exDialer and Samsung phone app. Turned off the smartphone and cleaned cache and then turn back on.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] shiret:
Man, what a good app that is f&^%$d up by Android...

True Phone is nice, but the simplicity of exDialer... And the themes.

[Android Apps and Games] jamus28:
In Android 11, exdialer can no longer read the clipboard. Copying and pasting phone numbers has become a chore , especially when the text field does not appear until you dial a digit.

Any fixes for the clipboard issue?
[Android Apps and Games] zohar_ml:
Just make yourself a favour and move to "True Phone"
[Android Apps and Games] Thoadi:
I try ContactsX now, seems like a good alternative. Looks new and still have bugs in layout and missing features (swipe to call / send message). But has detailed history (with filters) and switch between phonebooks (friends / work) is easy and quick (no change in settings required). It possible to change all colours (except the one's still a bug I think, but hope it will get fixed).
[Android Apps and Games] son70:
me too. i'm so used to exdialer, so spoilt by the simplicity of it. Go get True Phone Dialer & Contacts & Call Recorder > then get in there to reconfigure the T9. Mine works as good as ExDialer now
[Android Apps and Games] son70:
Agree... next closest thing to the smart predictive t9
[Android Apps and Games] Strange Lola:
Hey, I hope I'm not too late for this... I have the same problem with Exdialer with Android 11. I own 2 phones with this OS and in one the app works great as usual and in the other (and sadly my main phone) it doesn't show call history... I could never make that work... So I had to uninstall exdialer. After years and years of using it I had to change my dialer.

I installed a zillion and they're all either awful or useless... Until I rememberdd about this dialer I tried before Exdialer called RocketDial and it works just fine. It's similar to Exdialer in a lot of ways. You even can find themes for it and they're the same as the ones for Exdialer (in case you like to use themes).

The only bad thing is that the app is no longer on the Play Store (just as Exdialer), so you have to install it via apk. But other than that, there's no major problem.

One difference with Exdialer is that is a bit less customizable in some ways (i.e. You can't change the dial pad size and stuff). But it does have a lot of customizations... And of course, swipe to call or text works (you can even swipe in the dial pad to call or txt the contacts in your speed dial).

Anyway, I hope this helps someone... I will always miss Exdialer, but RocketDial is a nice alternative.

Have a good one!

Hey. I've been using the original ExDialer for ~15 years. I like it very much, so I paid for Pro long time ago. Recently switched from Samsung s10e to s23. Samsung Smart Switch transferred the ExDialer app and black ICS theme. After some fiddling with settings it works as usual. Version 198. Android 14, One UI 6.1

The only problem - my Pro key has gone missing. Not so big deal, I could buy it again ... but how? :) Without thinking much I chose the Pro trial 5 days. Now I get the "Trial period expired, tap to activate the PRO" notice. Not possible obviously. Any ideas?

Also, it has been so long that I don't remember anymore - is there any advantage with PRO, no ads?
[Android Apps and Games] Mattte1:
Halllo! New problem... On Samsung S24 Ultra no way to install PRO key. So, no more avible on Play store. Do we have a solution?
