That of the Alternative dialers for Android is a recurring topic within the our group Telegram. Until recently it was not easy to answer this question. In the last period, however, something is starting to move. Let's see together some alternatives for those who do not want to use the main dialer for any reason.
The dialer, for those who don't know, is the application used to make phone calls. If you have an Android, in Italian it is normally simply called "Telephone” and is the one that handles calls and sometimes even spam calls.
Alternative Android dialers
Simple Dialer
Open source
The first application we suggest is called Simple Dialer, And Open source 1 and it's part of the package Simple Mobile Tools of which we talk often. It's very simple and has tons of options. You can customize its colors, manage blocked numbers and have quick calls associated with a number. You can also choose which tab appears first when the app opens and group calls with the same number.
Koler
Open source
Koler it's another application Open source 2 very interesting, it came out of the beta version not long ago and it seems to work reasonably well. It will easily read your contact list and has several options available. In fact, you can block all calls and SMS from unknown numbers or from numbers chosen by you. It's possible too change the color of the application, choose what you want to appear first (contacts or recent calls).
OpenContacts
Open source
We already had way of knowing this beautiful application Open source 3 which, basically, allows you to hide contacts from other apps. In addition to this, however, it also allows you to manage incoming and outgoing calls and has its own internal dialer. However, it will be used to make the actual call the Phone application default. It is still interesting to use to manage calls while taking this last thing into account. You can only find it on F-Droid.
Emerald Dialer
Open source
Also in this case, as in the previous one, we were unable to set it as the default application and the pre-installed Telephone app was still used. However it is a dialer Open source 4 which allows quick calls and the use of two different themes. Nothing exceptional anyway and it hasn't been updated for over a year.
There are many other dialers available in the Google Play store we haven't found anyone without it tracers and therefore they will not be reported in this article.
Impossible in this article not to also mention Yet Another Call Blocker, the excellent application Open source 5 to block unwanted calls! Absolutely unmissable.
