[dialer-app] Improve frequent call interaction

There's at least two other ways to dial frequently used numbers quickly:-

1) In the today scope, scroll up and your most recent contacts are there, tap one, tap call.
2) in the dialer app, swipe up from the bottom to find recent calls, swipe up, tap one, call

From UX perspective the first impression, the first days are much important than the others. You are right, the today scope has a better way to call, but the beginner user (which I am) naturally try to use the dialer if he want to start a call. And it is so uneasy now. If the developer team create some new button (two actually), the user experience will much better. I hope, it is not too big request. BTW I can create those buttons myself, but is there way to apply a patch to a core app? What is the way of this?

This has been discussed with design. The plan is to have another section on "Recents" view of dialer with "Frequently Called" and remove Frequently Called from the Contacts view. The current plan proposed by design is the following:

To dial a frequently called number:
The interaction would be, dialer->recents->frequently called->tap the number

To dial a favorite the interaction would be:
dialer->contacts->favorites->tap the number

Can you (designers) write me, what will the default tab of dialer app? Will you create a wireframe before the real implementation?

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
