Hi, recently observed.. The app is taking long time to invoke, compared to initial version ( without all the new goodies), I think its may be bz of automatic recent apps listing in the app, when we opened it.

Can you please check it with and without recent apps feature, if there is a notable differences? if you can provide both options, I am happy to test from my side.

Thank you :)

Here's a launcher that includes T9 dialer by default, maybe you can take inspiration from this? Personally I like it, but Go Launcher Ex remains my launcher as it has the ability to lock the screen, so that you dont accidently remove apps/widgets/shortcuts from the home screen, and it has an app tray.

New version with contact search released ! :cyclops:
[Android Apps and Games] deej_roamer:
Crashed on my phone for the first few Times now working a lot better!

I liked the only 9 digit layout better, Abhishek

12 buttons take up too much screeen!

Contact Search seems flawless

Way to go BRO!

Waiting for a widget now!
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I am glad you like it, but if you could share more about the steps that led to the crash i could make it more stable, thanks :
[Android Apps and Games] deej_roamer:
I did nothing, After I installed, opened from play store, the app opened, crashed...Opened from launcher next, the app opened, crashed, Happened Five Times and then app opened and is working fine since!
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I'll still do some stress test to see if I can replicate it ! :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] Magicman500:
Every time I try to use this app, it will pause for at least two seconds after the initial keypress, and then it's hit or miss on whether it lags again after that.

Also, it would be nice if this searched your music, too.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I'll look into it , thanks for letting me know !

d2vzw running the latest Slimkat weekly (Stock Slimkat kernel) and no other lag present at the time, by the way. Forgot to mention that, sorry.
[Android Apps and Games] Stoyicker:
Good, but some feedback/suggestions

Remove the vibration when going out. Or at least make an option in Settings for it.

You have a lot of space in the top that you don't use. Why don't you add a Settings button, in the top right for example, move the Clear functionality to where the Settings button currently is and leave number 1 without alternative functionality? Ease of use would increase, I think.
[Android Apps and Games] shivadow:
Samsung galaxy s3 i9300 4.3 mk6 stock rom. Opened the app. Pressed 5 and the app closed. Otherwise it worked.

Brilliant idea but it needs an option to disable vibration and it needs to be brought to the front ie a searchbar widget or a plugin for Google now.
[Android Apps and Games] mrayzrocks:
Please Add these

A very very good app. This is amazing! We want to buy the pro version.

However, me and my friends who tried this app have requests.

1. Please add # button under number 9 and backspace button under # button. the exit button is not much needed because we can simply exit the app by using home key or capacitive back buttons.

2. Replace the settings button with asterisk button. settings should only appear when we press the menu button... :D

the reason is for the app to act as a complete replacement for the dialer in all our phones.

it would be the best and the most useful app ever if you will do it.,,:D

It will replace most apps in our phones.. :D
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I am working on the complete dialer soon to be released , your wishes will soon be granted ! thanks for your feedback , its much appreciated ! :highfive::highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] KriXou:
The auto completion doesn't work when contacts have accent (string comparison adjustment needed) :)

Otherwise, great idea there!

Great app. Saw the post on xda feed and immediately bought the pro version to support.

Been using the app Appdialer for much of the same thing, and honestly like his interface better, but it doesn't search on contacts.

A few suggestions:

- option to disable vibration

- option to change font or use Standart android font on default

- when showing contacts show mobile phone number first. Right now when I search a name I have to scroll a lot to reach the main phone number because emails and other phones appear first. Or enable users to select what info to show (for example only default phone number)

- a nice option would be a large widget 4x4 so the app would be always available in the home screen.

Great promise on the app. Congrats
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
Thanks so much for your support, I am uploading a new version with vibration option and some crash fixes right now , I will be done with the phone numbers in a few days, the widget will take time but is in the making , thanks ! :)

I'd love to have a black and white theme to match KitKat visual style.

Keep up the good work, dev!

One visual glitch I noticed: the vertical space should be organized to let users read full contacts rows, while now the third contact is always cut.

See picture (red dashed line): that edge should be lowered a tiny bit...
[Android Apps and Games] palombasso:
New suggestion:

Show the Last few apps and contacts selected when opening instead of showing a black screen.

It will make it faster to access the most used links.

Thanks again for the great app.
[Android Apps and Games] sirdigitalpython:
Awesome work so far...

One improvement...

Allow to enter phone number NOT in contacts... Instead of nothing found... Call or save... Please

Edit although thinking about it..you can't actually dial any phone number with it as 1 clears it.....

[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
sorry for the choppy UI , m gonna improve it in the upcoming releases.

The next release is gonna have recent apps and contacts. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] miljbee:
Great work, I am a long time user of app dialer, and I find your app is great because it allow contact search.

But in my opinion, there are a few things to improve :

1 - I don't like the font you used. Please propose something closer to android. The Roboto fonts are great.

2 - AppDialer seems to be faster than The Dial. Obviously, searching contacts might add some delay. But perhaps, you can find tricks to get better performance. You could start by searching the apps and display the results, then searching the contacts.

3 - Displaying the recent apps and/or most used when launching the dial would also be great, But I think you are already on it.

4 - For the contacts results, I would prefer to not have multiple results for the same contact. Instead, display only one entry for a contact and bring the contact details when touching it.

Thanks for reading !
[Android Apps and Games] coolz2:
Looks nice, but could you remove ads at test version?
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I've already reverted the fonts to default android in the next version, and the performance recommendation you just gave is exactly what I figured this evening, i was waiting until all load to populate whereas I could partial populate the faster app search, thanks for your feedback :good: gonna take some days to release tho, wanna release a fail proof release this time.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
Yep ! on it :)
[Android Apps and Games] deej_roamer:
I think long press on 1 should be clear option

Latest Update

New version with Phone Dialer, Recent Apps/Contacts and Pure Black Skin just released. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] sirdigitalpython:
That's the one ... V3 is way better... All works intuitively ...

It still feels a bit slow... Maybe

Add some kind of wait to the actual search. Say i rapidly type 2 7 6 (bro) the if the app waited until i stop dialing... then searched? Dunno really just thinking out loud...

Good job

[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
Well that will work , but this android cursors work so slow with loads of data, imma trying to better it , let see how fast i can make it ! thanks for ur feedback !
[Android Apps and Games] zemega:
You can't build a database for your app to refer to? At least its once in a while slow, instead of slow every time.
[Android Apps and Games] hansip87:
Come to think about it, i have idea for you. Why don't make the space above the keypad as two tabbed pages and swipeable? So the one on the left is contact, the right one is for app. So you don't have to load them at the same time. You just have to swipe to the left/right to change mode. Oherwise it's really a great app especially for the elderly. Keep the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
Testing v3 now, working good so far.

Will report back any feedback...

Feedback S4 mini (gt-i9195) with stock launcher

Cheers and thanks to the developer for this great app.

I tested with the previous version and now with the V3 with the same issue:

If the app is already running in the background the Dial'em All can't bring the app to front.

IE if I already have used firefox and if I search for it using Dial'em All, the icon will appear and after pressing on the Firefox icon the Dial will close and I am redirected to the home screen.

Using rooted S4 mini (gt-i9195) with stock launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
That is strange cuz I can bring the background apps to front in the exact state they were in, can someone else pls confirm this behaviour ?
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
That was my initial implementation, a swipeable screen but i ended up this way, imma try some optimization , if it doesn't work i might have to try that as well. thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] Giocarro:
Working correctly here: if an app is in background and I run it from Dial'em All, it is brought to front.
[Android Apps and Games] llapao:
Do you want me to make a special test or use a debug apk in order to trace my issue? Please note that regarding contacts and apps that I don't have running it works flawlessly.

I did reinstall the app and I cleaned the cache/data before i reported it.

I forgot to mention that I am using 4.2.2

Once again thank you luciferabby for all your effort.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I will have to get my hands on ur phone model and test it , I will get back to you if i need your help or when I fix it , thanks for pointing out the issue :)

Version 4 now released :

* Faster than ever search *

* Quicker Start Up *

* Lag Reduction *
[Android Apps and Games] llapao:
Hello, with this version the issue I posted in the thread before is now solved.

This means that this is now my main usage app in my phone.

KUDOS to the developer.
[Android Apps and Games] deej_roamer:
So far so good!

Does it do a real time search or searches a pre created database?
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
Both, creates a DB on install however from the next time keeps updating the Db in the background as u type making it fairly real time.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
that saves me some additional efforts. :p
[Android Apps and Games] Magicman500:
It's still lagging 1-2 seconds for every keypress on the newest version. It might even be worse, actually.

If I double tap "4" I end up waiting 3 or 4 seconds until it shows any results. This occurs with every key, including the backspace.

My Phone:

d2vzw (Galaxy S3) running SlimKat 4.8 weekly (Will try with the 5.1 weekly when it comes out soon), stock kernel, no other lag present at the time.

Let me know if I can help in any way.

Also, I'd like to echo my feature suggestion of searching music as well! Perhaps add a setting to decide what the app searches? For example, disable contact search, so it would only search music and apps, or only search apps, etc.
[Android Apps and Games] Loota:

Went to download from Play Store, it downloaded and then I got: Unknown error code during application install "-24"
[Android Apps and Games] ifonuser78:
First off, I'm really happy that you are developing this app as it is exactly (feature wise) what I was looking for.

AppDialer Pro is my most-used app and the only way of launching an app on my phone (home screen is empty). AppDialer will be called upon a gesture by GMD (swipe from bottom). Anyway, as much as I like the app searching part I was looking for a T9 contacts dialer and nothing has been really interesting, I'd prefer using the standard phone dialer.

Your app integrates the app + contact part nicely, but it looks terrible (font, UI layout). :silly:

Does it remember frequently launched apps? For example with AppDialer I only need to press 4 (for G) and Gmail will pop up first, although it is alphabetically behind other apps starting with G but I use it much more often.
[Android Apps and Games] FuzeLearner:
Thanks for a great app, I really like it. If it included the ability to search for and start Tasker tasks, it would be the ultimate quick search launcher. Here is what I found on a quick Google search ( http://tasker.dinglisch.net/invoketasks.html). If interested in integration that link should help. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
wom, this is app i alway looking! Thanks you so much. i found one bug: every time i press number 9, then press any key, it will force close. But only with rom have walkman, i think it error with letter W (because in my country-Viet Nam, W will be Ư if i turn on vietkey). Hope you can fix this bug on next version! Thanks you so much again
[Android Apps and Games] ceccadroid:
Very nice app! I love the idea of searching through app and contacts at the same time.

Just two requests :)

Do you think it would be possible to have a transparent background?

Do you think it would be possible, clicking on a contact's mobile number, to choose if make a call, send an sms or send a message via Whatassp (or similar)?
[Android Apps and Games] oldman20:
Same my mind! and more option: themes, ex...
[Android Apps and Games] CrackedMe:
awesome something I was looking for desperately

---------- Post added at 10:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:58 PM ----------

I found a problem . Contacts show only towards the top side of the app and if there no matching app the bottom part stays empty . I think you should utilise the complete space . Also, the contact I was searching for stayed way below in the search results because the app showed all the fields of same contact .

It would be possible to search for contacts not only in the "name field"? I mean searching also in company and note. This is necessary (for me at least) because I don't remember the name of the person but remember the company or somthing I've putted in the note field..

Hi could you check with the new version, n let me know if it works.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
check out the new version with music search.
[Android Apps and Games] CAL7:
No. The Play Store doesn't allow me to download it to my Z2 Tablet (SGP511). If I find the app in a browser, it explicitly says it is not compatible with that device.

I do get it on my Z1 Compact phone. FWIW, I have copied the apk from my phone to tablet and installed it just fine. On the tablet, it is a little "outsized", meaning it stretches from side edge to side edge and would be more comfortable to use if it were more compact. For instance, the extra space gives an awkward positioning of the numeric and alphabetic characters on the keypad. See my screenshot:
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:
I hadn't really designed it for a tab, I thot the issue was because the app required telephony permissions which is an issue with tabs, but given that it still wont let you install means its the layout , so thank you for this screenshot, I can now go ahead and solve this issue , I will surely have the layout fixed for tabs.
[Android Apps and Games] palombasso:
Hi,

I bought the pro version since the first release and it keeps getting better.

The recent update with the call history panel is great, but I have a few suggestions because a few mags keep me from using it as my main dial:

- I'd like an option to select which information should be displayed for contact results. For example I don't want email addresses showing, only telephone numbers.

- if not possible to hide info through an option at least I think the first result for each contact should be it's default phone number.

- on the call history panel, if the contact is Unknown the number should be displayed. Now it's not very useful because you just see a lot of Unknown entries with no differentiation.

Congrats again. There's nothing like this app.
[Android Apps and Games] luciferabby:

been following your work since it started & it's been very impressive.

i've finally jumped ship to making this my main app :)

is it possible to have an option, where you can choose if you want dial-em-all to open as an overlay over other apps instead of how it is now - as a separate app on a new window ?

anyhow thanks for your work!
