Details

The dialer is currently part of an umbrella app called 'communications'. This app does not just contain the dialer code, it also contains contacts, first-run-setup and the facebook integration code.

Because this is all merged into one app, the communications app needs more permissions than it needs to, is more complex than it needs to be and has a bigger attack surface than it needs to have. For example there is no need for the Dialer to have the systemXHR or wifi-manage or browser settings.

From a security point of view, the dialer should be extracted from the communications app and talk to other apps through WebActivities or system messages.

This will also make the code simpler and easier to maintain and understand.
