Version 1.5.1 now available. It seems to be the same as version 1.5 that came out a couple of weeks back, except this version doesn't revert back to version 1 when you restart the phone - so a pretty fundamental improvement there.
thx for the news .. i'm happy i didnt got that prob from the begining
Oh yeah. Thanks for the news. Why did convert in the first place?

Not showing on my UK Galaxy S either.
Anyone have the .apk file
Mine was downloaded when I updated to JM1, I didn't have to do anything, it was just there.

Hi guys,
This is the apk for Task Manager 1.5.1. Fetched this from Samsung apps on JM8. Hope this helps!
How come it says application not installed when I try to install it?

Apologies guys, was stupid enough to upload the wrong apk! Updated my initial post with the correct one. Try it and let me know if it works better... well at least it won't be worse
wtf permissions?
I was going to install the 1.5.1 release from the Samsung app store, but finally held back: The permissions it's asking for are not quite to my liking.
This app requires each and every permission there is, e.g. change UI settings, send SMS and MMS, make telephone calls, read emails, change APN settings, change global system settings...
Did all of you ignore this, or were you shown other permission requests?

Noticed that as well, but it's the first update I installed for the Task Manager. I assumed it already had those permissions, and decided to trust Samsung. Some might argue it's not such a good idea
There are more apps in the Samsung store that require odd permissions and I just called Samsung Mobile Germany to ask the supporters why this is.
Not that I expected anything else, but what I was told is just wrong.
I was told the following:
- These applications are from Google (i.e. programmed by Google)
- These permissions are set in Google accounts
- this is no risk as the applications for 100% sure won't make calls or send SMS / MMS
This is so poor as a support answer... And a really poor programming style as well, 'cause it contradicts the idea that programmers should only require those permissions in their manifest that are acually needed.
Not gonna install that crap anyway. What if Samsungs servers are hacked and distributing modified versions of these applications? They're not gonna pay my excessive cellphone bill, should this be true, aren't they?

Hello Everyone,
Im using HTC Desire with AuraxTsense 8.1.1 and ive seen a few roms with the core android contacts app. I tried using mybackup pro to back this app up and install it but it says "application not installed". Do i need to download a .zip and use recovery to install this? where could i get those files from either an .apk or a .zip.
Thanks for any help guys.
i believe the contacts is two apks contacts and contactsprovider. And you cannot get them into a sense rom by merely installing it, theres some wierd issue with it if u try to replace the senseui's contacts with it...
I know what you mean with wanting this, but if you're willing, try a different rom to see what you like at the same time? Something AOSP built. If you search there are ways to adb push the stock contact app which is what you want, but that includes the dialer which you also need if you want the contacts.
If you're willing to experiment, try a different rom. I was on AuraxTSense 8.1.1 also, but the battery drain was totally annoying. So I went to Oxygen and I haven't looked back (and has the contact app which you want). Done 18 hours on my phone today with relatively standard usage and,went down to 32%, amazing tbh.

You can try to flash the "Android_Contacts.zip" file that is found on the mini-site I built for LeeDrOiD's ROMs. I have done so in the past (flashed through recovery) and both the HTC People AND stock Android Contacts seem to co-exist in perfect harmony It simply asks you which you'd like to launch when tapping the "Phone" button for example.
Of course it would be wise to perform a Nandroid backup first just for safety's sake!
Sense should allow all that harmonies in AOSP rom too. why dont they~~
Thanks for all the replys. im gona go try that website now!! ill post how i get on.
ok tried that but just got a load of force close messages before i could even start up the app. is there any .apk on the marketplace that would do this, or even a similar app. I know you can get it on sense cause i had it on one of the sense roms that i use. I just like AuraxTsense because of the power control in the notification area.
well actually i dont understand why do you want the android dialer? Sense dialer is what people want. Well at least i want it it, want it so much but sad it cant be used on AOSP roms.
Cause i love having to click a phone app and having my dialer/contacts/recent calls all in one app and just tabbed on the top. I dont care if its the android dialer but this is the best one ive seen laid out for what i want. Is it possible to get the samsung one or a similar app?
Ricochet I totally agree on that. The standard Android dialer app is way more functional and looks nicer too IMHO. Only thing missing is T9 search. I used Dialer One from the market when I wasnt rooted, however found it to be less snappy then a standard app.

I tried that and it somewhat worked. The dialer comes up but the contacts aren't there. The favorites and call logs are populated though. I'm using an HD rom though so I'm not sure it's the same (RCmixHD)
Tust found "TouchPal Smart Dialer" in the market. The main screen is a mix of HTC with Android Contacts tabs at the top. Gonna try this out to test functionality, but the layout is awesome!
Thanks man, that app is exactly what i wanted.
Hi.
On pure Android 4.4.2, like CyanogenMOD 11 or nexus phones, when you swype all the way to the left you get to a google now screen.
Is there a way to add this very same screen, to be accessed on this very same way to the stock Android 4.4.2 from Samsung?
If not, is there a way to install Google Now Launcher on this phone? This is not the Google Now version, I'm not looking to make it a google now version due to some (few) things that I like on Touchwiz, like the multi screen, and don't want to lose some apps, like the shealth.
Btw, no root installed yet.
Thank you.

It says my device is not compatible. Maybe because it's not the Galaxy S4 Google Edition?
Any other way of creating that window?
Thank you.

Hi Indie,
OK have now installed Omega Rom, restored my backed up 'data' in so all my settings, etc are back and all is good except....
Would it be possible to add an option (maybe on install) to remove the Samsung bloatware? (S-Voice, S-Planner, Quick Connect, Samsung Internet Browser)
All that stuff that is there but nobody ever uses [I use google now which has voice, and google calendar]
S-Planner is the worst because when disabled it just keeps and ongoing notification telling you its disabled (REALLY ANNOYING)
I'd be a fully happy man if this could be done in the next update,
Cheers!

I just took the update to Nougat and I hate the little window that comes up when I receive a call on the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. On Marshmallow, I had installed an old version of the Google Dialer ( v 2..05.07_rc4 I believe) but I am having trouble disabling the default dialer on Nougat. Does anyone know if it is possible to disable the default Samsung dialer on Nougat and use the Google Dialer (any version)? Or am I wasting my time?
Thanks!
re dialer
I didn't like the all white dialer in Nougat so I installed the material dark theme and that made both
the dialer and drop down menus look better. I would like the pixel dialer or something similar however
the one's I have tried (apk's) crashed.

Do you know of a way to make the notification drop down tray dark? Every theme I try doesn't change the notification drop down.

The quick menus are dark however the notifications are not. I notice now the blue led notification doesn't seem to be
working either. Short answer no.
I did get the led notifications to work after adding an app (light manager). I expect if I erase and reset it would work but
I don't want to do that at the moment.
There is an updated version of Google Phone that works on S7E Nougat. Search for "Google Phone 4.1.135571529-nonnexus" on apkmirror. It might not be the most current version (which is 8.x) but it still works and might not be as whacky for you as the Samsung dialer. Please note that you need to also download the Google Contacts app, because if you want to disable the Samsung dialer you are actually disabling the Samsung Contacts app as this is the actual "phone" app that shows up in your app drawer. If you want to disable the Samsung phone and contacts apps make sure to not disable any of the apps listed as "phone".
Hope this helps!

So then which apps do I disable to get rid of the Samsung dialer and contacts apps?
Also, what version of Google Contacts do I download?
Thanks!

Once installed you have to go to application settings and grant all permissions then choose this as default calling app

I disabled "Contacts" com.samsung.android.contacts the one with the orange icon and just that app only. I then downloaded the most current version of the dialer and I then downloaded Google Contacts version 1.6.20 which is the most current version.

Great! Thank you.
Were you able to get search results working in the dialer? That seems to be the only thing I'm lacking. Otherwise, this is awesome. Thanks again!

Is there any newer version of this dialer that syncs with contacts? Right now, the "contacts" portion of the dialer app shows every contact I've ever contacted ever rather than the customized list I have in my separate contacts app.
Thanks!

Hello,
Using an s7 g930f and wanting to replace the samsung dialer with the google phone dialer. The version I have is v8, I'm wanting to have ViLTE video calling ability, I'm using a rooted tw rom. I've read that the minimum version needed for the dialer is v13 or newer, I have not found a version that works on my s7, does anyone have this working?
Thanks.
