I am very sorry to hear you cannot do exactly what you want with the telephony features but it is still true that you can replace core apps. Like I explained in another thread, we removed APIs that we felt we would not be comfortable maintaining forever. I know it's annoying but it's better for everybody involved if we do it right.
We are definitely interested in hearing your feedback. Please file bugs to tell us what features are missing or what features you need to implement what you want.
