Google Dialer for Galaxy S4 I9500 - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Google Dialer has a great feature which pulls up caller identification information from Google+ pages.
Google Dialer apk has already been ripped off from Nexus devices and are available for download. However I could not get it working on my Galaxy S4 I9500 device.
Even though I followed all the instructions on this post goo.gl/5YPwnF , when I open the dialer it force closes instantly.
I would appreciate if the Google Dialer is ported to Galaxy S4.
Thank You.

same **** different day.
the stock dialer is so freaking ugly, I don't even want to whip out ma phone to get dem numbers.
But it must be possible to replace the stock one,
Anyone?

Voice to text

Hi All,
I'm new to android and have just purchased the Samsung Galaxy S. Can anyone tell me if it has voice to text like the nexus one or desire ?
yes under settings you can enable it.. but app has to support it.
Hmm i can't seem to find it. I want to be able to use speech to text for things like SMS messages.
I can see an app called "Voice Text" in the market - do I need to buy this first ? It's got terrible reviews.
I cannot find it either.
The Nexus One came with a voice recognition keyboard and voice search. Were these Android 2.1 standard or were they specific to the N1?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I want to know as well. I think the Evo's feature on this is great, to speak out a text reply if driving is great.
My guess is they are 2.1 standard (I read voice input EVERYWHERE is a feature). However Samsung have replaced the standard android keyboard with their own, and Swype does not have that feature (yet, I looked it up and they said they will be adding the microphone button very soon)
You may be able to install the default keyboard for android?
Supposedly this is a feature of Android 2.1, but for some reason Samsung seems to have left it out.
I purchased Better Keyboard, which allows you to enable the mic/input button on the keyboard, but when you press it you get an error message that your phone does not have the voice recognition engine installed.
You can use the Samsung Apps on the SGS to install VLingo for free (it's $9.99 in the Market), but you have to use the crappy vlingo keyboard to get the mic button that works.
Very disappointed to see this feature missing from the SGS. Supposedly the SGS version of Swype is getting a mic input button, so I wonder if the newer JWM2 ROM floating around has that in Swype and includes voice recognition.
Edit: this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=712100 has a link to a working version of the voice search. I've installed it and it works.
Some are reporting that installing Google Search by Voice from the Market corrects this issue. I can't validate since that app doesn't show in the Market on either my Nexus One or my Galaxy S.

[Q] phone dialer

Maybe I am overlooking it, but is there a phone dial pad in cyanogenmod 10.1? I have used it with
google talk and some other apps in an older cyanogenmod version but I upgraded to 10.1
and cannot find the dial pad, or is it no longer there? Thanks for any help.

S-Finder for CM12.1 Rom Pleasseeee.....

I love S-Finder feature of touchwiz lollipop. But i don't like touchwiz... So I'm using CM12.1 by frapeti on my i9500.
I don't find any other phone search app as efficient as S-Finder. Because i guess it is contextual search (search within apps). It gives results of deepest links of almost any app installed on ur phone.
Like search for some text in a note saved in the Evernote app.. And also search for artist in google play..
Also search for some files in ES file manager.. Then search for tickets booked in bookmyshow app..
Im very much addicted to this functionality but then i now switched to CM12.1. Even google now cant search for the deepest links...
It cant get me the results from Evernote like 3rd party apps.
If not 'S-Finder', atleast any other alternative to it if anybody has been using??
I'm in dire need of it...
Thank you.. 
Porting Samsung features to an AOSP ROM will never happen. The features rely on changes made to framework-res.apk and SystemUI.apk and those changes are both too extensive and undocumented to port.
If you're looking for an alternative and don't want to use Google Now, search for Microsoft Cortana and try it. Personally, I prefer Google Now.

ROM with Google Dialer/Caller ID?

Is there a good stable ROM for the S5 that incorporates the Google Dialer and caller ID? It's one of my favorite features and I really miss it. I was just given a G5 that had a CID starting with 15 so I'm set to fool around with it. Thanks
You can install Google official Phone app that includes IncallUI and Dialer, it works on marshmallow stock

Google Voice Keyboard missing dropbox for alternative word choices

My apologies if this is the wrong forum, but my problem just started on my new Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone. If there's a better place for it, admins please feel free to move this post.
I've been using an LG G6 for the past couple of years, and when I use the Google Voice Keyboard to dictate to my phone, it has always provided me with a drop box of alternate word choices after transcribing my speech to text. It does this by underlining a word that it thinks might be transcribed incorrectly, and when you click on the underlined word, a list of alternative words appears in a drop down box.
Just this past week, I upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S10+, and I find this feature seems to be missing entirely from the Google Voice Keyboard. I've tried using GBoard and the default Samsung keyboard, and I even installed TouchPal, but I can't seem to get this functionality to appear. I've done multiple Google searches to find out how to turn this on, and can find nothing! I can't be the only person with this problem, right? What am I missing?
I did do some detective work on my LG G6, and it seems the functionality appears in the Google Messages app when typing a message, but it doesn't appear when I'm putting text into a Google Keep note, so I don't know if this functionality varies by app. However, when I try to input a new message into Google Messages app on my Galaxy S10+, that functionality is missing, so it doesn't seem to be only an app issue.
Can anyone give me any suggestions or a solution? I've attached a photo of the functionality I'm describing.
Thanks!
