Google Dialer - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

Trying to get Google Dialer working with no luck. I have read (can't find it now) that with the S5 to get Google Dialer working correctly we need not only the *.apk, but also a lib file. Anyone have anything on this? Would really like to get this working.

I'd say it's not a good sign if you google a topic and can't find it

[REQ] Gtalk apk

My market doesnt work because im not longer have Gtalk installed, I deleted it without even knowing it myself... first i though it was Gmail who caused this but then I read stuff on the net that Gtalk was associated with it.
Anyone able to upload the apk so i can install it
The ones that ive found on the old threads doesnt work :/
Thanks in advance (will thankbutton as well )

You won't get video calling due to processor support dough.
i don't think the gtalk app is the actual problem, as i deleted it myselfs and everything is ok.
But there are other packages related to gtalk like gtalk.framework (or sth like that) that you should not delete.
ilarrain, thanks, made installed gtalk now!
blade2011, you are right! I just installed it and it seems like it didnt work out...

Google Now Partially Working

I'm on ConROM v4 (Senseless), and I just got Google Now partially working on my Rezound. The search works by typing but trying to use voice keeps crashing.
No guarantees, but here's what I did:
1. Downloaded the apk here
2. Used Titanium Backup to uninstall Google Search.
3. Removed the Search Bar widget from my homescreen.
4. Install the apk. Reboot
5. Add the search widget back.
6. It's ask to Authorize to your account twice. Agree to both.
7. Use the text search widget. Trying the microphone crashes the app.
Curious if the geniuses here can get voice working.
More Information here and here

I can confirm that it works on SlimROM 1.6
Be interesting to see if we can get voice working. With dev's dropping left and right, I can only hope.
There's a few threads elsewhere on XDA about it, one way involves doing build.prop edits, voice is still screwed across the board though.

My guess is the voice component requires the newer API, but it could also just be Sense screwing things up...

That's not the problem. There are build.prop editing threads that change the devices api version, but voice is still shot.

That's because you're not really changing the API at all, just what version it reports. Making it show a higher number does not actually mean your device supports the higher API version!
You can change the version string to make Gingerbread report as Android 4.1 - again, this will not actually bring any Android 4.1 features to gingerbread.

Google Dialer

Has anyone installed and tried Google Dialer on this phone yet? If so which apk did you use? Any problems?
What google dialer are you talking about? It already has the stock dialer from aosp on the phone.

Has built in caller id and you can type in names of nearby places to call stores and such.
I have and works perfectly.

Is there anything special needed? Root? Disabling the stock dialer?
No, I have it installed but I have 2 phone apps in app drawer, you can't disable the phone app that comes with the phone.
Just tried it. Moto assist does not work using the Google dialer. So when I'm home, the phone no longer let's me answer the phone with voice activation. I use that more than I'd use the Google dialer features, thanks for posting the apk though.

Thanks for the link and info!
Any time I do the location search at the top of the dialer in the APK I get a force close of the dialer. For instance I can type "Home Depot", as soon as I press on the result to select it I get a FC.

I'm pretty sure you need more than just the dialer apk to get that functionality.
I was looking for a way to have that functionality as well, and after a little research I found out that the location search on the dialer is an exclusive feature for Nexus and Google Play devices :crying: . I had that on my Galaxy S4 GPE and I liked that feature too. Found a post on Android Police explaining on how to make it work on other devices, but a lot of bugs can happen.

I've updated to Android 5.0 out of the box when I got my phone few days ago. - This morning I've installed the 1.1 Dialer APK linked in this thread, however, something did not work, when I pull up the app info on the only icon in the drawer it tells me version 5.0-10.
However, if I go into Settings > Apps > (Downloaded Tab) I see Dialer 1.1 is installed, under (All) I still see Dialer, and version lists 5.0-10 - The 5.0-10 is the stock moto one for Android 5.0, and this one does not have the caller ID, reverse look-up.
I might try disabling the 5.0-10, but from what I understand, that messes with the phone in a big way?

I'm not sure what can happen if you disable the stock dialer app, maybe prevent you from making/receiving phone calls if you don't have another dialer app installed? That's just my guess though, never actually did it to check. Were you able to make the location feature work?

I was unable to get the Caller ID to work, the phone shows me that they are both installed ( Settings > Apps ) - however, the one that came with the stock/factory ROM is preventing the 1.1 version for loading/showing at all in the apps list, so short of disabling the stock one (which I understand is not something one should be doing), I can't even open/access the offloaded one (Dialer 1.1)
I might get brave and disable the stock dialer, see if the Dialer 1.1 surfaces in the apps list.

I think that no major issues should arise as long as you just freeze the app and not uninstall it with titanium backup, but again, that's just my wild guess haha. Anyway, leave us posted about your findings.

OK - Got it Working!!! - Not Really, it crashes.
Step #1 - Download/Install the APK from this post
(will need a file manager to browse the phone to where the APK was downloaded to)
Step #2 - Create shortcut for Google Dialer 1.1 that you just installed using QuickShortcutMaker
Detailed instructions are HERE - Start at Step #3 on that page.
(Stock Dialer should be the only one showing in app drawer, you need to make a shortcut for the Google Dialer 1.1)
Step #3 - Win!!!
Some Pictures as Proof in Puddin
Stock Moto X Lollipop 5.0 Dialer / Settings
Nexus Android 5.x Dialer (Dialer 1.1) / Settings / Results
Google Dialer 1.1 shortcut above Stock Dialer shortcut.
Since trying this app initially, I've rooted my phone, and I've tried to follow steps outlined in (http://htc-one.wonderhowto.com/how-to/install-new-kitkat-4-4-3-dialer-your-htc-one-0155515/), specifically Step 2 - Where the app is installed in /system/priv-app/ folders - I am sad to report this does not work still on MotoX
As previous users suggested, there are probably those other services the Dialer depends on that need to be installed.
I'll update if I find a solution.
I don't know if it matters but I had a Nexus 6 before getting my Moto X. The Google Dialer was version 2.0. I didn't grab the APK before returning it but I'm sure it could be pulled from the factory image.
I was unable to make this work, root/non-root.

MultiWindow

Hello, Does anyone know how to manage the apps in multiwindow. I would like to get rid of some of the stock apps in there with some apps that Ive dwnladed from the play store. I am rooted, and running a custom recovery with ZV6 rom.
Thanks
Also, have another quick question that doesn't really pertain to multiwindow but I hate to start a new thread for just one question. Is our G3 capable of using the new wifi frequency? I believe its the 802.11ac I googled this but have not been able to find the answer.
Also, I checked enable voice recorder in I believe in G3 tweaksbox but when I make a voice recording and try to play it back, it keeps saying unsupported file type. What do I use to listen to my recording?

For you wifi and voice recording question, I dont know about that. But as far as multiwindow apps, I you want it to show ALL of your apps instead of just the stock ones...you have to go to build.prop and its a line that says "persist.splitwindow.support_all" and change it from false to true. That way you'll get all of your apps to show, I dont know about it NOT showing certain ones, but at least that way you'll get more than just your stock apps in split window.

Just to let you know, after reading the thread myself, I did not get the app from the playstore, I downloaded the free version (apk file) from the thread above. and installed it to my phone.

You don't need to use the Flex multiwindow. We have it on our phone. I've already made the mod on both Barren and BarRin.
I made a flashable build.prop for ZV6 It has multiwindow and some other tweaks. If you want to use it it's here. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95784891001614835

Replacing stock dialer doesn't show incoming calls

Hello guys.
My main question is: what kind of system app decide which dialer will show the incoming calls?
I will shortly explain the situation. I have a smartwatch (zeblaze blitz with Android 5.1, no Android Wear, rooted) that has a bug in stock dialer, so I need to replace it.
I installed some dialers from play store, but they were using stock dialer for calls, so nothing.
I used root to install Google Dialer (put it in priv-app folder). It's working fine, except one thing.
When I get incoming calls, stock dialer shows up. If I answer, I hear nothing. I need to open Google dialer manually to talk.
If I uninstall or freeze stock dialer, on incoming calls, it rings but nothing appears at all. I need to open Google dialer manually to answer.
It seems some "setting" decide that incoming calls need to be shown by the default dialer, even if another one is set up to be used to talk.
Does anyone has an idea how to change this setting eventually?
Have you tried the resetting the default association in settings apps stock dialer?
Edit minor text fixes.

Stock dialer doesn't have any association. Also, I think the associations would be automatically deleted when I uninstall it.
So unfortunately I think it's not about the stock dialer. I think there is some other app or setting that redirects to the dialer.
I have some additional information to share, if someone has the patience to try to help
The following are apps that i found that I think could be involved in this issue (app name, package name and size)
In /system/priv-app
TelephonyProvider.apk com.android.providers.telephony 1,6MB
TeleService.apk com.android.phone 2,1MB
Telecom.apk com.android.server.telecom 1,1MB
In /system/app
AutoDialer.apk com.example 44KB
BSPTelephonyDevTool.apk com.mtk.telephony 88KB
The stock dialer that I'm trying to replace is
Dialer.apk com.android.dialer 5,1MB
Does anyone have an idea?
Your issue is that many of the drivers for the device and radio are programmed to that dialer apk. It's the same all over android. You would have to build a rom from source to change it.

Probably, but I have no idea how to do it.
For now, I would like to find apks from other MTK6580 device to make some tests. Maybe I'll have some luck with no need to build an entire rom.
Any idea where could I find stock Dialer.apk and TeleService.apk of any MTK6580 lollipop device? Is there an appropriate section on this forum for this?

Your chip is not gonna matter. As it will need the main frameworks from the rom that dialer and other apks came from. Then you will also need the radio files that work with that dialer. There is no real way to cheat getting around this. It only makes it harder due to the chip itself. Mtk are lousy at providing any info which means most kernels for those devices don't have the source posted.

For sure you are right, but I was now thinking just to replace the stock dialer with another stock dialer from another similar device.
I have some stupid bug (when I call or answer on call, I cannot hear anything, then I need to exit the dialer app and restart to hear the call), and what it really matters is to get rid of it. I'm not really interested in Google Dialer or any other.
So, maybe, if I can find another dialer with the same package name, as all stock dialer should have (com.android.dialer.apk), I could maybe solve without requiring programming skills that I don't have.

You are confused on your issue. From what you just said I would honestly say the issue is not your dialer app. It's your radio/modem (do phones even still use modems lol) this is what really controls calls. Sounds like it's crashing and not restarting. If you can get root a logcat would pinpoint it.
You could try a clean flash of the latest software.

I really am, no doubt.
The fact is that when I answer, although I can't hear anything, they can hear me on the other side. It looks like some "service" of the dialer just stays on background, without crashing, and I need to recall it by opening the dialer app.
Also, the really strange thing is that, if I am using a bluetooth headset, I can hear perfectly and I have no problem at all.
For this reason I was not thinking of some issue about those kind od service you say... Phone line is working!
I have root, how can I take a useful logcat?
Thank you very much for help
