Installing apk is all I did to get it working.
Maybe bad apk? Wipe broken google dialer and install apk below.
If it doesn't work, can you explain what happens when you try to launch?

What actions, specifically? Just opening up contact list? Viewing a specific contact?
Did you disable apps like the default dialer?

I was making sure you didn't disable them. Sorry for the confusion...
Seems odd it FCs...doesn't happen to me. I'm assuming all your contacts causes it to FC? If there are certain ones that don't FC, check the contact (one that causes to crash google)with stock app and see if somethings off. You don't see something like the one you see in the screenshot?
I can't help you further than that. Wait for others to comment this thread.
Good luck!

every time i click on a contact, either in the contact list or in the recent calls I get an Fc

FC also if I dial a number from the dialpad

I am trying to make it work on my z1 compact.
first it was fc-ing on dialing any number or contact. it also closes when i hit the recent calls tab.
I copied manually the app to system/priv-app, and ser permission rw-r-r. now i can dial, i can receive phone calls, but i cannot access recent calls.
i will try removing stock sony dialer.
P.S. removing stock dialer from priv-app turns into no signal on the phone.
i moved it back.
On startup, i get an fc from Google dialer, but afterwards it is working ok, minus the recent calls list.
Any ideas?
P.S.2 i disabled it. The in call menu is still the main phone app - sony. So i gave up on it.

Material MMS APK(AOSP)

Here is the MMS APK that has material design, yes it has quick reply.
I have pulled this APK from Euphoria ROM for my own use, but I thought some of you may wish to use it.

Isnt that apk the same thing as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging ?

Yea but this is XDA. It's way to easy to install or update an app via the Play Store. XDA-style, we unlock the bootloader, install the new ROM, rip the apk of the app, then host it on a filesharing service. :highfive:

This is not the same app, the one you linked is the Google Messenger application, what I have posted is the AOSP MMS APK. This is the MMS apk you all are familiar with from CyanogenMod, but with a material design like the new Google Messenger app.
Was this actually updated with material on aosp or did someone customize it.
Thanks for the app link. It's so much better than the Google messenger. I couldn't stand not having the enter key and all the random colors for people.
Thanks for the apk, I have an issue. After I install and set as default messenger app I get a "wrong APN" popup on the screen that won't clear. I'm on Sprint, any ideas?

hmm. well this one works on nonrooted phone. just the apn issue. once i pull out my sim card, the apn setting comes back, but disappears when the sim card is inserted.
I need to figure something out. The stock messenger sucks badly.

Try the following:
Set hangouts as default messaging app -> open hangouts settings -> change MMS apn to something other than what is selected by default -> change default messaging app back to original.

[2.11.508]Get Whatsapp Calling Feature[WORLDWIDE][LOLLIPOP]

Hey Guys, you all must be knowing that Whatsapp is testing call feature as reported by a reddit user.
[UPDATE 1] I am aware of a similar thread but it does not address the problem of no contacts.
I followed the thread and discovered that the thread started was the only one to have that feature working properly. It is believed that whomever he calls, gets the same feature too but the opposite person needs to have Lollipop as well as the latest(2.11.508) apk too from the website of whatsapp. Other user reported that using terminator and root access, one can get the calling tab enabled but the issue is no one can see other contacts and my bet is that none of the contacts would have the latest apk as well as lollipop loaded up. So, I've got an idea through which we can enable the feature and help others get the feature too. Try to follow the given steps.
Whats Needed?
-Rooted Lollipop(Stock or Custom ROM would do)
-Latest apk from here
-Terminal from Playstore
-PM me to get my contact number and add me to your contacts(To test out the feature)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Steps to follow(Make sure you follow them in order and correctly):
1) Make a Backup of your current chats if you want your chats to be maintained.
2)Uninstall your current version of Whatsapp (Necessary Step, do not try to update through intsalling the latest apk over current version)
3)Install the latest apk you downloaded.
4)Verify your number, restore your chats if you want and start whatsapp.
5)Close Whatsapp and remove it from recents too.
6)Start Terminal and type the following commands without double quotes:
"su" - At this point, it would ask for root permission. Allow it.
"am start -n com.whatsapp/com.whatsapp.HomeActivity" - This would start Whatsapp with 3 tabs namely Calls, Chats and Contacts.
7)Head on to contacts tab and message me from there. I would also add you to my contacts and see if I could call you or not and if it works, we all would get the feature permanently! :highfive:
[UPDATE 2]It has been confirmed that this method does not work for now but at least keep your contacts list updated with someone having lollipop and following the same procedure so that you may come to know when you are also eligible to test out the feature.
Credit goes to pradnesh07 and Tropiux from Reddit.
Unfortunately all this does is show you the tabs. No contacts will show up as you haven't got the feature enabled still. Someone with it needs to call you I believe
I enabled it but no contacts are showing up to call...how to call anyone ?

You have not read the instructions and stuff need properly. Have you?
You need lollipop update first. Then you need someone in your contacts who has enabled these tabs with terminal.
I'm already running lollipop... Did u have enabled the call feature ?

[APP] Google Dialer

This is a modified dialer apk, and root is NOT required. All credit for this goes to those mentioned in the original OP.
I know this is in the S6 forums, but it is confirmed (by me) working on G5.

Works great. Thank you
Does this app actually make the call or is it just a dialer that opens the LG app soon as you hit send? I'm just looking for a solution to the stock app because it turns hot pink when you hang up... It's the only thing about this phone that I don't like. It's driving me crazy ?

Goto Settings > Apps > *Touch the 3 dots in the top right corner* and select Configure Apps > Default Apps > Phone App > *Select the Google Dialer. It will be listed as simply "Phone"
I have not tested this for incoming calls just yet, but for outgoing, it will skip the stock dialer completely. Hope this helps.

so no caller ID though... I wonder if the Tmobile Name ID feature will still work
Well standard caller ID works.. I will have to wait till an unknown number calls me to test the rest.

Stupid question maybe, but what exactly do you find wrong with the stock G5 dialer app, and what makes the Google dialer more desirable?
TIA

It's more visually pleasing? For people who really want a stock Google experience, it's one more thing to get you closer to that. With this and the Contacts app installable from APK Mirror, I'm officially using all the stock Marshmallow apps for everything but my Exchange email.

I find the LG dialler requires more finger presses. But I'm coming from the Song Xperia dialler.
New call: Go to dialler. Possibly not on the call tab so click that. Start to type name and some suggests come up. Click on the [v]. Select the person/number to call. And now the bit that annoys me, press the call button. If I click on number why not just call them, why show number and wait for me to press another button?
Call back: So I missed a call. Go to dialler, go to call logs, click on the call I missed. Show the contact details. WTF? So now I click the phone icon and call. Yes I know there is a little call icon but I'm used to clicking a phone number and it dials it. Not have to locate one tenth of the call log line to start a call.
Anyway, I'll get used to it but I do think I have to do more work for simple calls versus other diallers.
Wow. That is as clear and concise an answer as I could ask for. I wish my wife would answer simple questions like that, but I have to ask her twenty follow-up questions just to get an answer to the first one! So, I do see what you mean, and I have found it at least a little annoying myself. I guess I just accepted it as the way it is. Never really thought to look for a different dialer, but by golly it just might be worth a look now. Thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I hope you type much faster than I do, but I use Swype keyboard.
Does the original Dialer needs to be uninstalled first before installing Google-Dialer 3.00?
-> If yes, where to get that original Dialer found and uninstalled?
How about if Google-Dialer will be updated in future to 3.xx?
- Auto-Update or manual update needed?
- Link to webside to be able to always have the latest version installed?
Thx
It's crashing on me. Where can I get one that works?
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Ive had no issues with this. Been using it for a week or so & has been flawless.
Also been working for me with no issues. Combined with the Google Contacts app and then Calendar, Clock, and Calculator, throw an icon pack into Nova, and I seriously feels like I'm stock. Very very happy.
as soon as i click on the icon i get "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" message.
There are several versions out there. It would be helpful if ya'll would specify which version is or is not working. I am running the 2.05.07_rc4 with no issues. I haven't tried the 3.0 version yet.

Tmobile apps keep creating shortcuts on home page

The Name ID and Visual Voicemail app keep creating shortcuts on my homepage. Anybody else having this issue or something similar? I've deleted the shortcuts multiple times, but after a reboot bammm there they are again.
edit: disabled Name ID and of course that no longer does it - that is useless anyway. Visual voicemail on the other hand is pretty crucial, tried uninstalling and reinstalling. No go, still re-adds to home page after reboot.

Ya it sucks, I still haven't found a solution. I'm hoping once the trial period for voice to text is over that it'll stop doing this. I'm doubtful, but I can't think of any solutions right now. Glad to know I'm not the only one with the problem though.
Edit: Manually ended trial. Removed from home screen, rebooted, and it came back once more. Very annoying.

If this works, obviously you'll have to set your TW launcher up from scratch.

Dialer problems

Hi, I have a strange problem with my p10.
When I call somebody, the dialer on the notification bar continuously disappears and appears, preventing me from accessing the call interface and hunging up the call, and when i get called the phone rings but i cant answer because the interface doesn't even appear. I already tried to use another dialer app, but the problem remains.
Thanks in advance!
Sorry if the grammar isn't perfect, but english is not my native language.
Hello,
I have the same issue since this morning and I am getting mad with this !
I tried everything I could but no solution was found yet on my side.

thanks in advance and keep safe.

After that, everything goes back to normal.
