Hello all!
I've messed with Android a bit on my old Touch Pro 2, but I am definitely new to configuring it. What I want to do is set Google Voice as my default messaging program (so I can have everything going through it).
I tried doing it with the stock launcher (TouchWiz) and I also installed Launcher Pro to no avail.
I figure the setting should be in:
Settings
-Applications
--Manage Applications
---Show all
----Messaging
-----Clear Default
Unfortunately the Clear Default button is grayed out so I am unable to actually do anything there.
Anyone know how to do this or have any ideas?
(Yes I will be rooting/custom rom installing soon!)
Thanks!
Edit: I do have Google Voice installed and it works fine for voice calling.

When I click message button in contacts, it asks whether I want to use 1) messaging or 2) google voice. I can also choose one as the default from there.
I haven't pull the trigger to make google voice as my default message app yet.

I had a good search on XDA before I posted my question and this is direct with just the Nexus 4, Anyway.
I'm running PA (March build don't remember date).
I've tried clearing app data, reinstalling, messing with app settings.
I can no longer open up Google Now to automatically begin voice search, when I slide up from the home button on the softkeys to go into Google Now it used to automatically use voice search however it no longer does this, it just stopped randomly yesterday but was working early yesterday, haven't flashed anything or modified anything since long before it stopped working =\.
So my question is, how do I get it to automatically begin a voice search?
By default, accessing Google Now by sliding up from the nav ring never automatically activated voice search for me.
I suppose if you want that function, you'll need to be able to customize the shortcut on the nav ring. This is possible on CM. Not sure if it can be done on PA. Just change the Google Now shortcut to launch the app Voice Search.
1) Hey, I'm wondering if any of you was able to activate slider shortcuts on the lock screen. as soon as i set up a lock screen pin, I only got a lock to press... nothing to slide!!
2) Does swipe work on your keyboard with core apps installed? Not working for me! I didn't even have voice dictate function until i tried installing pico tts. Had to uninstall it again,but after that, the Mic was still there!

I did a dirty flash from CM10.2, and my old slider shortcuts are still there, working fine. I don't use a pin, though.
Can't help with your other question, because I deleted the stock keyboard to save space in /system. (I use Swype instead.)
about 2): strange enough, the play store doesn,t allow to install the standalone app of the android keyboard!

You mean the Google Keyboard app? That's very strange. I just tried installing it, and it works fine here.
really strange!
Hi,
I would like to change the default dialer program on my Samsung Note 3 which is rooted and installed with Xpose. I am sorry but I am new to Android and not sure how to get this done. I haven't installed any custom ROM's at the moment but thought there would have been a way to make the default dialer program. Although I tried installing many programs like "Contacts+", "RocketDialer" and others, none of them show up in the "Complete Action Using" Menu. Only the Samsung default dialer is presented.
Yes I have reset cache for all the Apps and tried the same too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your revert but only options I am getting are 3 apps, Kaspersky Av, Skype and touchwiz phone. I have already tried clearing the app for Phone as well as reset all apps.
Also downloaded "default app " from play store but no go. Any other suggestions are welcome.

I think there's either something wrong with your Xposed configurations, or you might have to try a full wipe.

Hi Nicholaschum,
Could you kindly tell me where exactly in Xposed settings do I change the dialer default app.

Have you tried disabling all Xposed modules and eliminating all possible problems?
Well the short answer based on your setup is that touchwiz will not let you change dialers. You can download them from play store but it will only be for you to call out with. If you get in coming phone calls it must be handled by touchwiz dialer.
I've been trying to get an AOSP dialer to run but no joy. I've deleted all phone apk files I've deleted all contact apk files all that happens is I loose connectivity with cell providers.
Enough googling and it seems touchwiz must have its own dialer for incoming connections.
I'll keep trying tho, never know.
Not much help I know but at least it's an answer of a sort.

For sure you can set the default SMS apps though, I have set them many times, but I use 8sms right now as it is to me the best alternative to BiteSMS on the iPhone 4 (during the old days haha!)

In regards to incoming calls, I used rocket dialer and was able to see their screen. Touchwiz wasn't invoked. But when trying to make outgoing calls, although rocket dialer is invoked for call logs and contacts, as soon as I hit the call button, touchwiz is invoked.
I guess the option then is to use custom roms which I dint want to install.
Hey there,
I have a Mate 8 Chinese version. Build Number NXT-AL10C00B592. My Phone is rooted.
My goal is to replace the HiVoice with the Google Assistant.
What I've done so far:
- Remove the HiVoice App described as here https://forum.xda-developers.com/p9/how-to/how-to-replace-hivoice-vocal-assistant-t3465522/amp/
Even this was a P9 article, I gave it a try. Well.. the HiVoice is gone now.
- Installed the Google app, configured the speech assistant. In order to do this I had to set the Google Assistant as default assistant in my app settings. (apps - settings - default app - assistant - assistant-app =Google). Once this was done I was able to press the Home-Button to activate the Google Assistant. Awesome.. I thought so.. after approx. 15 minutes, it wasn't working anymore. The default assistant app was set to None..
So I thought it is maybe because of the Depp-sleep-device-idle Huawei-special-whatever.. so I tried to disable this one via adb.. works fine.. my WhatsApp messages arrive immediately,even if the app is closed.. yay, but that was not my goal..
I am at the end of my knowledge. Do you guys have any idea how to set the Google Assistant as default permanently? Maybe there is a config file that I could modify or something..
Thanks mates,
Shyarly
I'm experiencing the same problem here, and I'm also looking for solutions. I tried using Ice Box and successfully disabledthe Hivoice App. After playing around for a while Iwould say that force stopping the Google app would reset the assist app to none. I tried setting the assist app to Cortana and force closing it but the setting remains. On the other hand however, In my experience on a global model it seems the Google app (as a system app) cannot be force stopped, unless you disable and re-enable it, which also causes the assist app to be reset. maybe there's a switch that makes the google app persistent, and I hope that helps.
I seem to be able to solve this issue, but I'm on EMUI 8.1 and on P20Pro, not sure if it's suitable for your case - probably it's the same case for all recent Huawei phones (Chinese ver.) so I just post it here:
1. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Advanced > Set write system setting to "Yes".
2. On the same page, change the Google app launch to "Manage manually" and turn on Auto-launch, Secondary launch, and Run in background.
3. If you still have HiVoice installed, just turn off the write system setting permission on HiVoice in case it's overwriting the Google voice command.
I have checked in an hour or two so far, tried to restart my phone too, the default app for voice is still with Google and "OK Google" works smoothly. Still with one flaw, once you call the Google assistance, don't close/clean it otherwise the setting will be reset.
Thanks to Ronald.Cheng I have followed your first step and decided to add my own steps and so far I have been using my phone for whole day and even restare how I modified the setting.
1. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Set write system setting to "Yes".
2. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Battery > uncheck "close after the screen locked"
If it is possible, repeat 2. On assistant
I hope it works with your Huawei.
Same problem unsolved
Hello,
I have a honor note 10 (Chinese mui 8.2) and the same problem. First I struggled to install and use Google assistant and had to force enable it, and now it works until it resets itself. I followed the instructions below but I doesn't seem to do anything. Is there any way I can make Google a system app or with similar rights using adb or whatever ?

Doing the following only worked for me:
1. Go to settings > Apps & notifications > Apps > Google > Advanced > Set write system setting to "Yes"
Thanks much.

Sorry in advance if this was something easily found by googling, but all I get is "note 9 (useless) tips and tricks".
To the point. No matter what phone app I set as default, I still get the default call screen. Is there some way I can change it? I would really like to have the google phone call screen or truecaller's.

No solution for this?
Did you try with Google phone mod?

Still the default call screen. I even disabled the default phone app, but then I had no call screen at all )
Works on my end. Installed modded g dialer... Settings/apps/default apps/set default calling app......pops up google dialer instead of sammy (personally I prefer it, but just tested for you cause I was intrigued)

I don't know why, but this time, when I changed the default dialer, it worked on changing the call screen as well.
Help changing in call screen to a photo if possible
Is there a app that can do this or can someone design something that can
did you try the permission settings with the phone app you want, i.e., always allow etc?
Need a way to change in-call screen
Someone needs to create a way to do this on the note 9.:angel:
