Nexus 4 (i guess Jellybean) contact app? what's with this?

The stock app for your contacts is the People app. The people app is fine, sure, but it doesn't really match the dialer at all. I'd prefer to not use the dialer to choose my contacts to text message, but the people app looks like it's created for an entirely different UI. Is there an ICS contacts app that is black like the ICS dialer?

I know it might not be a big deal to some, but I'd prefer a shortcut/app that takes me directly to the contacts section within the dialer.

I don't know. But I agree with you, it's weird...and no sir...i don't like it.

With that said, I never use the contacts app. I just use the contacts tab in the dialer.

Someone suggested this and I've been using it; use the Google Search bar. Start typing your contact's info and it will pop up... why the dialer doesn't have T9 is also beyond me. After a bit of a search I was considering .

Google search bar is what I use and ask others to use lol. So much faster

The Google search bar is definitely good, but it still pulls up the oddly made people app :-(

Google's attempt at integrating their own app with Now? At least it will only show contacts with letters matching your search, from there it's one tap to select the contact, a second to place your call.

I use Go Contacts and Dialer. You can define what you want to come up first in Go Dialer. Contacts, last calls, Dialer pad etc. Plus access any of these from within the Dialer.
