Thanks I will do that. Just out of curiosity, what is it that people like about the non-sense dialer? Seems like quite a few more steps to call a contact, but I must be missing something as I'm sure a lot of people use that dialer.
I have rarely used an aosp rom, so I am not very used to the dialer. but there are definite things I like about the aosp dialer over the sense dialer.
the sense dialer is nice for typing in letters to search, but the aosp dialer does this too.
in the aosp dialer, hit the contacts tab and then hold the menu key and it pulls up the keyboard - then just type the name or first couple of letters it works just like sense. no need for 2 dialers - go try it.
what I do not like about sense is that it always puts your contacts or history on top of the dialer. what happens to me is that when I pull up my dialer I accidentally place a call to someone in my history. history also always covers up favorites in the dialer, yet there is a history tab, why do I need this. favorites are covered by history but there is no favorites tab. so I need to use the favorite widgets or direct dial or something, I like that except for the fact that I have to use it that way.
I would really like the sense dialer if it did not put any contacts on top of the dialer keys until I started to type a name.
in sense you need people and the dialer. with aosp you only need the dialer.
I think most people do not know they can pull up the keyboard by holding menu. this is not just for the aosp dialer, it works just about everywhere.
the sense dialer is nice as its quick to search, but people like me with fat fingers that mis key a lot it can be frustrating to make accidental calls. aosp does the same stuff, just not as quick to search.
so I have been really liking this rom, I may have to try handcent again. I am also getting pretty bad battery life. tho I have used the phone a lot. I had my my email checking every 15 minutes - oops. but is there a way to set email to check for longer then every hour? or do I need to use another app?
what kernels have you guys been using with this? or where can I find some aosp kernel?
And though i'm not normally an aosp guy, this thing looks good. i will give this a go and see how it runs. let y'all know later tomorrow.
