[Q] Switch Dialer and Lock Slider

[itsallwright]

It is rare that I can't find what I am looking for on this site, but a couple of things are eluding me.

I have a Captivate running Cognition v2.3b2.

First:
Dial by Name: The Captivate dialer seems to only search from left to right when trying to dial a contact by name. I checked a friend's Epic 4G and it finds the pattern anywhere in the contacts name (even if i dial "mit", "jon smith" will be returned as a result to choose from). This is also how WinMo worked and I really miss that functionality.

How can I use the Epic 4G dialer on the Captivate (with 2.2)?


Second:
Stock Lock Slider: The Driod X has a lock slider that sets the phone to vibrate, rather than silent. Can this be used on the Captivate?


Thanks

It seems like I figured #2 out. I remember playing with the settings on the old Cognition ROMS without any luck. But, now it seems to work.

Settings --> Sound --> Vibrate = 'Only in Silent Mode' or 'Always'

Any thoughts on #1? Could that be as simple as a setting change too

Thanks

I just flashed Cognition v2.4 which is based on a Vibrant ROM and the dialer now searches first and last name (regardless of how I have the contacts sorted). It won't find any pattern like the Epic does, but it is good enough for me.

The Dialer is DialerTabActivity.apk inside /system/app.

You could try pulling the Epic 4G one and overwriting it.

I do not know what this would result in. Worth trying.
