How to use the dialer
1/ Launch and use from the widget
- From the ABC Dialer Contact Widget, tap on the “ABC Dialer” button to launch the ABC Dialer (if the widget is not installed on your home screen, see how to configure and use the contact widget) :
- Once the ABC Dialer application is launched, you are able to search your contacts for a phone number. Use the special keyboard to enter one or more letters (the search filter). One tap on a letter adds the left letter, for example ‘A’. A double tap or a long tap on a letter adds the right letter, for example ‘Z’. A list appears that shows all the contacts which fullname contains the filter, for example here all the contacts which fullname contains the ‘len’ syllable. Each contact shows up with its photo (you might have to configure photos in your contacts directory using the Contacts application of your phone before configuring the widget). A contact may appear multiple times if multiple phone numbers are configured for it (for example, a contact with a Home phone number and a Mobile phone number appears twice).
- Tap on a contact entry to call the dialer with the phone number associated to this entry :

Tap on the "Restore default" to restore the default preferences (QWERTY layout and "green" look and feel) :
