[General Questions and Answers] devastator83:
Hi,

I'm using a Galaxy S2, and I would like to know if it is possible (and if so: how) to change the default dialer.

I have multiple dialers (VOIP, skype, ...), and everytime i want to dial, I want to select which one to use ... Except when I'm in the car, I want to use the normal dialer (otherwise I would have to take the phone out of my pants to select the dialer).

I'm fairly experienced with Tasker, so the correct contexts are loaded. I only need to know how I can change the default dialer within 1 context.

Anyone can help ?

Gr,

Deva

Hello Deva,

I was actually looking for that. Here is what I did so far, but with no eventual success because of my need to kill default dialer.

I found out on XDA that no application will allow you to change the default application for security reasons. Android does not want any application to hijack your phone by assigning itself as a default application without your approval, or so I heard.

I wanted the voip dialer to be used in morning and the stock dialer in the evening, because of my limited daytime minutes. So I decided to use a different method. I have two dialing programs, the android stock one and a voip dialer. Using Tasker and Secure Settings (paid) I created a profile to kill the unwanted dialer during the time of the day.

Theoretically it should work fine, but when I put to practice, it did not function as I expected. I discovered that killing the default dialer in the morning actually prevented me from receiving phone calls, so I would see the calls received but instantly get rejected. It was fine at the evening though because killing/freezing the voip dialer has no harmful effect.

So the best you can achieve if you are suing this method is to create a task to freeze all other dialers but the default/stock one while you are in the car and then unfreeze them when you are not.

You post was in September 2011. If you find a solution prior to my post, please let me know: I am still looking for a solution for my case.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casper[DK]:
Hi all

Sorry if this has been posted before or if I'm in the wrong section. I've tried to learn as much as possible, but as a complete noob to Android, I'm finding it a tad unmanageable.

What happened:

So first I rooted my device with Odin and CWM6.4. I used CWM to make a backup of my device on the internal SD, as I have no external. I then installed Mobile Odin Pro and flashed first CM9, then the LFB modem, then CM10 and then GAPPS. I then reset my device, or whatever the option was called to delete everything, which the guide said was required.

I'm now running the CM10 released yesterday (06082012) and everything seems to be running well. However here are some questions, that I hope you can help me with:

1) I liked the touchwiz widget for the weather and clock. Can I get this back somehow?

2) I liked the swype keyboard and tried installing swiftkey3, but this does not have swype apparently. Can I somehow get swype again?

3) When I installed CM10, I had to delete everything, which meant I lost all my apps and their files. Is this standard when flashing? I would like to fiddle around and try some different roms/kernels, but it would get tiresome if I had to reinstall everything from scratch every time.

4) Since I got CM10 instead of stock, the screen seem to be generally much brighter and drains a lot more power from the battery. I've tried setting it on automatic, but it doesn't seem to adjust the screen brightness even if I try covering up the sensor with my finger. Does anyone know why? Is it because I'm using software which is under development or is there an easy fix?

5) I've tried getting it to transfer my contacts from facebook to my contacts on the phone, but it just doesn't seem to happen since CM10. Is there something I can try to get it working? Also before I had the option in the facebook app under app settings and could check a box here to make it sync. Now the sync option seems to be under Android homescreen --> Settings --> Accounts --> Facebook --> check to synchronize. It says it synched like 30 minutes ago, but I can't see the contacts.

Thanks a lot for any help you can provide! :)

Regards Casper
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zoot1:
Lets answer your questions one by one..

1. You cannot get tw Widgets on cm10..as it uses the framework which is different from CM10..try other widgets from the market..

2.you can download swipe by going to beta.swype.com and downloading it manually..or else install slideit pro..its also provides the same functionalitty..

3. You don't need to install everything when you reflash..use titanium backup root from play store to backup Apps+data ..and restore the apparel when you flash again..

4.might be a rom issue..remember it is still in development..

5.the settings I jb are in that way..try going to Facebook app..open the contact list..scroll up and down till al the contact pictures load..check you phone contacts again..hope it work..used to work earlier in gingerbread..

Don't mind the spelling mistakes..I am typing on a phone in a moving bus

Cheers. :)

How did you get the powercontrol widget to be clear?

---------- Post added at 10:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 AM ----------

First off, awesome job...and I appreciate the time and effort you took to share this awesome set up with us. I do have a couple questions, maybe you can help.

For some reason, battstat pro does not want to display a widget, it just launches the settings for the widget and when I exit, there is no widget on the homescreen.

Also, bobclock and asus weather seem to be cut off, or not the same as yours. I applied the wallpaper with wallpaper wizardrii with only 1 home page and stretched to fit portrait. Maybe you have a better way to apply the wallpaper.

Also, how did you apply power control with a clear background. Below is a screenshot of my device.

Hi!

I got a titan which makes only a blank screen. Everything else seems to work fine.

Now I have to save picture from the phone. Phone is protected by usercode, but I know the code.

The problem is how to enter the code to unlock the data.

Is there any tool to control the phone via pc or any tool which will show me the the picture from the phone @ my pc?

Thanks!

[HTC Titan] drupad2drupad:
How did you end up with blank screen?

If you do not need your data you can perform hard reset by entering SPL mode.
[HTC Titan] Chris021286:
He told me that he was making a foto and then the screen suddently cames blank. It is a HW fault from LCD.

And if you take a look to my thread topic you will know that I won't hard reset the phone! :cyclops:

Thanks anyway.

One way to check will be see your Skydrive online. Most likely (if you enabled it) your latest picture would have been saved in the cloud.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lord bim:
Hi, i’m using the Franco’s Kernel and with the Franco’s kernel updater i’ve lowered the current of frequency 1305Mhz to 1250mV (the same current of the frequency 1228MHz). Also the question is, now with frequency 1305Mhz or 1228Mhz should the battery consumption the same or not?

Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feenx888:
I don't think they will use the same current. mV is voltage and is not the current. Current is Amps. And if I am not mistaken although you are using the same voltage for both frequencies 1305Mhz will use more amps (current) hence use more energy, resulting in draining the battery quicker.

Although I could be wrong on that one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lord bim:
I doubted about ampere me too, hence what's the aim changing voltage in the Kernel?

Inviato dal mio Galaxy Nexus usando Tapatalk
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Feenx888:
So that each frequency drain less juice then by default. But honestly I dont undervolt my frequencies, its fine the way franco's autocalibrate them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
So you lowered 1305MHz voltage to match the 1228MHz voltage at 1250mV. At an equal voltage, higher frequencies will use slightly more power. However, 1305MHz at 1250mV will use less power than 1305MHz at whatever default was. So undervolting will lead to some power savings, though they're extremely hard to measure.

If you're not overly familiar with undervolting, then using a kernel with Smart Reflex will do a good enough job of undervolting. It uses a moderate undervolt. Most people could lower the settings a bit below what Smart Reflex sets the voltage to, but the Smart Reflex settings tend to be stable.

For instance, I messed around with my phone and I'm running the following (using leankernel):

MHz - SR mV - Manual mV
1350 - 1250 - 1200
1200 - 1240 - 1150
920 - 1100 - 1075
700 - 1020 - 1000
350 - 840 - 825

You can see that I'm only nominally under Smart Reflex's values. I just like tweaking my phone as much as possible.

I'm not sure if Franco's kernel uses Smart Reflex or not. If it does, however, you could always allow SR to handle your undervolting so that you're sure to get a lower-than-stock-while-still-stable voltage.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lord bim:
thanks for your opinion!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
Just installed Quarx remarkable cm10 rom and am shocked at how stable and useable it is. However i have a few questions and so if you know the answers help me out please.

is there a better default launcher (basically i had cm7 set up with custom icons on the apps on the home screen and also was able to fit 5 or 6 apps across the width and am wondering is there anyway i can do this now in jelly bean)?

is there anyway i can get the app drawer to scroll down instead of sideways?

how the heck do i get rid of that annoying google search bar at the top of my home screen?

why is there no dsp audio settings for bluetooth? is this a bug or something that hasnt yet been implemeted?

EDIT: Oh yes and what has happened to the ability to long press the buttons like search that will launch a custom action?

and rather than start a new thread... just in case i decide to bail back to cm7 kang will i need to install the froyo kernal first in recovery? for info purposes i am using a red lense defy and the gingerbread kernal i flashed before installing cm10 is the first time i have ever flashed a kernal.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Siben Nayak:
Launcher

Use Apex Launcher..much better than the stock launcher...u can also remove the search bar in this one :cowboy:
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
thanks for that will give it a bash

anybody else know the answers to the other stuff.

edit:

ok wow i have just installed apex launcher and i have to say it is gonna take a good evening of sorting out there are that many options. i like it. so cheers buddy.

however i am getting this horrible lag when using the phone. sometimes it is taking upwards of five seconds for the phone to acknowledge a touch. it is extremely frustrating especially coming from c7 kang when everything and i mean everything was virtually instant. not sure if this is sort of normal expected behaviour considering cm10 is only a few weeks old but if it carries on and despite the fact i love it i will be forced to return to cm7.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rabe3ab:
you can use nova launcher it is very beautiful.

dsp setting can be reached from the music player app or from google play music app

for other tweaks, you should wait for the new nightly ROMs to bring

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marco.michel:
I've tried both. The latest quarx rom and now i'm on epys lates rom.

I'm use the holo launcher hd - it's optimized for jb and works perfect.

In both roms is the dsp manager present. For bluetooth settings you have to scroll right.

The ability for the buttons can be found in epys last build. I didn't found them on quarxs 08/04 build.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
in your experience would you say epys is more stable than quarx.

i think part of my problem is that i used titanium back up to install a fair few apps with there data and maybe if i hadnt i wouldnt be encountering so many slow downs and lag but i hasten to add that i was already seeing it on the rom before i restored the apps so i dont want to blame it totally.

by the way i have found the bluetooth settings so thanks mate. i simply opened the app and it was there so i aint sure how i missed them first time off!!!

no you are right quarx build doesnt have the buttons set up as yet.

i may do a wipe and start again and may even try epys build but epy seems to be busy with other things and i dont want to be using a rom that is no longer supported. if i do i will give holo launcher a bash although i am mighty impressed with apex. already i have been able to set up the homescreen as before and the app drawer is back to one long vertical scrolling list. so we are getting there.

what i dont seem to notice is any sort of hwa going on in fact my experience is the phone runs a lot choppier and slower than when i was using cm7.

another alternative is to go back to cm7 and use one of the ics themes which in all honesty doesnt seem like a bad option to me. i will decide over the weekend when i have some time to play around. thankfully thanks to the recovery it is pretty painles to switch between builds once you have set them up.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
hmm that looks great cheers mate. i will give that a try some time very soon. dont know how i missed that... thats what happens when you stop keeping up to date with development for a few months. once i had skanks cm7 installed and the phone just ran so so so well i just ceased to pay any attention to what was happening.

not read past the initial post but there it says it is for ics but i am taking it is also compatible with jelly bean?

Jelly powered.Defy
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rockmonkey1973:
ok i can only imagine i have screwed something up using titanium back up because the lag is actually making the phone unuseable. i simply havent had time to fix it but i will have tomrrow and the first thing i am gonna do is a full wipe. i think i am also going to try running both epys and quarx and also use both the froyo and gingerbread kernals and see which combination works best. i am also going to remove titanium back up. if it cant handle restoring user apps and the data between platforms then it is of no use to me because google will reinstall all the apps on its own.

so i must have simply screwed it up because nobody would use the rom if it was as bad as it is on my phone. i also dont like the no wifi tethering deal. that is something that is extremely handy and if it doesnt work then even if i can get cm10 running smooth as silk then i will most likely not use it as a daily. another bug bear is the lack of flash support. i use the iplayer a lot and the fact that one needs flash to use it means jelly bean may be a step too far. i guess i want to get it running properly because it annoys me when things dont work right and by my very nature i am forced to try to fix it (it is almost a genetic defect of mine). however as i say if i cant use wifi tethering and flash then i probably wont run it as the rom i use daily.

does anyone know if ics is the same? is wifi tethering also broke with cm9?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AnTerNoZ:
in CM10 u can use some tehter-app from PlayStore, someone in dev thread say it worked. CM9 is the same as CM10 for me with tethering, but I really don't use it more than twice in three month.

titanium backup is bad if u restore more than the apk on CM10 nightlys, it totally ruins the system if u came from other ROM, had the same issue. I use it for apps that not from PlayStore, it's ok for that.
