Anyone have a working .some Google Phone Dialer ? - LG G6 Questions and Answers

I prefer the stock Google Phone dialer over all others. I tried to install several different .APK from the website with all the Google Phone downloads. But none of them would install or work.

I've been running Google Dialer with LG G6 for a couple of weeks... here's what I did...
1. Install the APK from this thread: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412
2. After installation, go into Settings, General, Phone Management, Apps.
3. Click the three dots menu and select Configure Apps.
4. Select Phone App, and change that over to the Phone with the blue background (the alternative is LG's Contacts) and click OK.
5. Click on the Special Access at the bottom of that screen. Select Modify System Settings and find the Phone app. Grant it rights to modify system settings.
6. I like to explicitly grant the phone app permissions now, rather than waiting for it later. So I granted all permissions up-front. Back out to the Apps screen and find the Phone app. Click permissions and flip the slider to the right to enable all permissions.
7. Launch the phone app and sign-in to your google account.
You may want to swap out the phone on the lock-screen and launcher as well...

I have not been able to swap out the phone shortcut on the lockscreen unfortunately. It seems the stock phone app is a default that can't be changed.
Thanks for the guide by the way. The stock phone app was aweful. Any way to get the Google contacts app too?

I installed google contact from APKMirror and it works like a charm…
I tried the same with google dialier, but it disappeared after being called once ! Will try again.

I have the APKMirror install of Google Dialer working just fine. Didn't run into the issue with dialer disappearing. However, I installed the Dialer from the XDA Forum that I referred to in a previous post.

I was able to swap out the phone by going to Settings, Display, Lock Screen, Shortcuts. From there tap on the phone icon (defaults to the far left) and an app list pops up. You need to select the "Phone" app with the blue icon - the green one is the LG-native phone app.

Thanks for the quick guide , it worked great. Finding it slightly sluggish for some reason though
The lock screen shortcut option only appears if you disable screen pin/fingerprint

Thanks, works great!

I am unable to change that default phone shortcut on the lockscreen no matter what I do.

I've always used Google Dialer v3.xxxx rc4 (forget the exact version but it's 3.something rc4), which is the latest version that is able to properly look up phone numbers of places by name on all my non-Nexus/Pixel devices

Hey Gewecht what colour is your in call back ground? I have a LG G6 I get a quick flash of the nice Google blue then it turns a not so nice Turquoise green.
I tried the work around in the Google Dialer main post but no luck as the G6 has no option to change the sim back ground colour. I'm guessing the only way is to disable the stock phone app which the option is greyed out!!
Cheers.

How do I make it so when I receive a call on my lock screen the blue color fills the top notification area and the navigation area at the bottom? See screenshot.

You go to the Settings app, go to Display settings, tap on App Scaling, find the app (it would be in 16:7.9 aspect ration) and tap it, and thusly make it a forced 18:9 aspect ratio. After this, your application should be formatted to support the LG G6's 18:9 display. Trust me, I had to do this with Lawnchair Launcher and a Pixel 2 Launcher (mod) in order to get it to all fit. I hope this helps you ??.

noticed when using voltage control:
- back then i only see 200mhz,400,800 and 1.4ghz always utilized. now i can see 400mhz,700 and 1.1ghz,1.2,1.3 being utilized as well. i haven't seen this happen in previous roms from long hours of use and gaming. oh btw, governor used is still pegasusq,i/o is cfq, min 200mhz max 1.4ghz
- pop-up player now resizable. clicking on it will now just pause the video and not return to full screen like it did.
- thanks trc
- CELL STANDY REPORTING BUG FINALLY FIXED. thanks bala high roller baby baby bay
minor bug:
- settings > date and time > when you uncheck 24 hour format the settings(gear) icon on notification bar moves to the right because A.M. or P.M. large font moves the icon to the right. They need to fix this, it's kinda annoying. for me only half of the gear is seen but still clickable. for many, they can't even see the gear because it's pushed to the right.
no such problem on landscape mode.
- GPS confirmed working.
Looking for Voice command for apps? like shoot for camera? answer or reject for calls?
it's not in settings > language anymore. it's in s-voice's settings now.
it is more accurate now, like in music player when you say "previous" sometimes it understands as "pause" kinda like hearing only the "vious" that sounds like "pause". it wasn't accurate with "volume down" back then, only "volume up". now it can distinguish clearly.
BTW, you don't to enable s-voice to be able to use those voice commands. you just need to enable them in s-voice's settings.
wondering what Disable HW overlays is in settings > developer options? description is Always use GPU for screen compositing.
this could help you understand.

OP.. seriously. If you want to make a thread and have [TAGS] like there's actually info here... than you have to provide some info. Right now your more asking a question and waiting to see what people say. You need to have something of relevant info if anyone is gonna take this thread seriously. I came in here thinking I could see a cool rundown of what Jelly Bean is bringing to the table, but nah. just another, mislabled topic thread title, with no useful information. This one's easy.. just freaking google your thread title and give us a nice little sneak peak at the features packed in buttery jelly beans! ... for god sake! :crying:
*EDIT* maybe the OP can edit his post after users have chimed in?

When taking pictures you get a white border around it indicating that a photo was taken
In apps manager the text on the tabs is smaller and you can swipe sideways to change between downloaded and all. I didn't notice this in ICS
The window to choose which program to use to open a file/default is new (see screenshots)
A whole bunch of new widgets; favourite apps, favourite settings,, favourite contacts, dialler, simple alarm, smart switch, turn off all sounds.
mnt is now called storage
Overscroll glow is now bigger
In app info window there is a check box for notifications
Wi Fi direct is not a separate item in settings but is under menu in the wi-fi window

your issue #3, i can relate because i had that issue right after i installed jb.
i was so excited after it succesfully installed that i went to exploring it right away.
wiping data on cwm solved that issue and i guess will do the same for the rest of those issues.

Note 3 LMT/PIE Discussuon

Any questions, tips, etc? Let's talk here.
Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk
Thanks for the help on the pie controls! I really appreciate it, it's just something I never really used on the Nexus, nor used the LMT itself. But without a pure AOSP build, I feel it needs tweaked a bit to get back to a little more familiar grounds. (No Nexus 5 on Verizon .. grrr)
I think I was getting myself confused a bit thinking those tweaks could give me our 3 normal softkeys to replace my physical and capacitive ones. I know it was possible on the Note 2 from reading but it didn't seem to happen without a bit of troubles. Either way, I am rooted now and have removed some of the bloat apps. I am now considering going back into the custom realm on ROMS.
Thanks for the tips!
Im trying to map a shortcut for screenshots but so far none of them have worked.

maybe i can just find an app and map that.
Nevermind updated to the newest build and screenshot is an option.
Is the default input device #4 the best for N3?
I replaced 1 pie button and the other defaults went missing, any way around that, I would like to replace them one at a time?
When blacklisting apps I have to scroll through ~400 app list to remove non ui sys services then select one at a time, is the list a file somewhere that can be edited by other means?

I'm not sure what you mean by 'default input device'. As you set up PIE you can customize the number of tiles (up to 5) and have up to 2 levels of tiles, for a total of 10 possible shortcuts. The first level is set by default to be Android navigation buttons (soft buttons), 'back', 'home', 'menu', 'search', 'multitasking'.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
If these defaults have gone missing, or there are less than 5, PIE will reduce the number of 'buttons' that show up when activated, i.e. graphic UI will be adjusted
I could reduce each level of PIE down to 1 'button' if I choose.
Now that I'm thinking in this context, I'm guessing that is what you mean by "default input devices". If I am reading you right, you can set up to 5 and there will be no issue for the Note 3, likewise say that you only wanted three 'buttons' or 'input devices" (Home, Back, Menu) that wouldn't be a problem either. PIE will adjust the Graphic UI to match your settings, there won't be 5 'buttons' on screen if you only set 3 of them. I hope I'm being clear?

Honestly I don't blacklist any apps from from PIE
Can I ask why you want to Blacklist an application? Once I set the apps I want in my PIE I don't worry about the other apps I have installed on my device. I set those to be my most used apps, for the particular device om setting up. For instance, my Note 3 2nd level PIE app shortcuts are these
I have them set, and if I need to change them I just sift through the apps and replace them (I agree it does take some time to load, but once you have it set as you launch PIE it is seamless). I guess I don't understand why you want to Blacklist an application, when you only need to set the ones you want to have appear on the PIE launcher. Not that you need to validate your reasons to me, unfortunately I don't use this feature myself so I don't think I can be very helpful about this. Hopefully someone else might be able to lend some advice.
Let me know if I was on target about your question on setting the 'buttons' up.

Input device below, default is #4:
The reason I asked is the only pie position that works is bottom center, at first the default right worked but once I changed it, I can't put it back and have it work.
I guess the button setup as you described isn't so bad.

Oh, gotcha. Gesture input is a different set of features in LMT and not invloved with the the operation of PIE. This allows you to set actions that will launch when you complete a gesture.
Much like PIE once you select one of these options it will take you to the list where you can select the action to be completed.
You don't need to set any of this up in order to use PIE, The default for all gestures is 'None'.

You were right, I am using pie all the time now. It really shines for multi task where you can switch from one app to another directly, without going through recent first. Thanks for the turn on!

LMT/PIE is really cool and I just wanted to drop in to let you guys know about an app that's very similar called Switchr
He recently implemented an "Arc" style that's just like PIE, and which one you choose to use is just preference IMO
Big difference is the "Live switching" just imagine using PIE but as you swipe over your overlay icons, the foreground app changes instantly vs PIE where you have to release your finger to trigger the switching
To clarify, By blacklisting an app in LMT/Pie you aren't saying don't show up in the choices of apps. You are telling pie controls to not work or appear when using certain apps. So if i didn't want it to appear in Internet so I can still use its pie controls, I could black list Internet.
I don't use the feature but some people do. I never use ISA or gestures. But have been using pie since beans in the s3. Had it in my note 3 a day after the first root exploit came out after launch. So Worth it

Nubia Z11 tips and tricks

Hello everyone. We had better to write the tips and trips of our Nubia Z11 phones. You can find some tips in main subject but it is hard to find in all those messages. This headline should be for little tricks and tips for our phone. For example:
How to prevent Cell Broadcast in Nubia Z11:
If you get annoying cell broadcast messages, especially while you are travelling, you can not stop those messages with ordinary ways.
To stop cell broadcast message (hucresel mesaj) install NoBloat Free app from Play Store. That free app can stop nubia apps and broadcast message center. Open app and find com.android.cellbroadcastreceiver service in "System Apps". Select it and "disable". Cell messages will stop after restart.

(I also disabled Neosafe, Neoshare, nubiapark, nubia roaming, appcenter apps with NoBloat. )
How to change lock screen gallery pictures:
First, you must select wallpaper type of lock screen in setttings/lockscreen settings/Lock screen style/-> GalleryLockScreen
Lock the screen with power button.
Turn on the screen with power button again and after you see the picture, double tap to screen to see more options. Sellect settings icon down the screen. You can add gallery in this screen. Unfortunately, i guess Nubia is not working with this option because i have only 20 lock screen pictures and it does not load new pictures.
Any idea how to remove the Chinese widget on the left of the default home screen?

After disabling Neosafe with NoBloat, you have to lock whatsapp to get notifications. I disabled neosafe app and i made whatsapp a system app with titanium backup. But after that whatssapp gives notifications about 20 minutes late. When you lock whatsapp, you get notifications immediately. Even after screen is off after 30 minutes.
To lock an app, press and hold main central button, slide down the app you want to lock. You will see a lock icon next to app's name. By this way you always get notifications.
PS: I'm talking about 1.54 rom (1.48 and 1.53 have the same issue). Somehow some phones give notification without any issue.
PS2: Do not forget to enable notifications of an app in Notification Center in Settings menu.
When you fastly tap your screen 5 times, it makes a screen broken animation and sound. Not a feature but interesting. (rom 1.54)
You can long press home key and turn flashlight on in lock screen. So you dont have to unlock your phone to reach flash when needed. To turn this on, enter settings / other / Accessibility / lock screen fast open flashlight (check)

Hi I have a question. How can I change the lockscreen wallpaper ? I have downloaded a new theme over the nubia theme store and the lockscreen picture is ugly as f...ck. Is there any option to change that?
Is it possible to find the picture in root browser and replace it with another picture?
Many thanks
I changed without problem from gallery. I open picture click to settings and set like wallpaper and set like wallpaper lockscreen. You can change from main screen thru long press on display and set too.
Oh man thank you a lot. Thats was my fault... I have freezed the stock Gallery app from nubia with TB. (shame)
So i was not able to have this Option. Lockscreen Wallpaper
Many thanks now it worked. I was also able to find a workaround whithout the Gallery app. But with the Gallery app its quiet simple-
Thank you alot.

You can try for example quickpic app. In this app you can set wallpaper.
Yes wallpapers can be set over quickpic but not the lock screen wallpaper .. This option is only available in the default gallery app I think

Textra Doesn't display all the way to the top?

Hey guys,
I use textra as my standard messaging app. It seems like it gets cut off on the s8's display, not going all the way to the top. It leaves a black space between the top of the app and the notification bar. Not sure if this is a textra issue that needs to get updated or an app viewing setting somewhere in the s8 that I'm missing. Either way it sure would be nice if that dead space went away lol
Anybody know any tricks?
Cheers!
Edit: Apps this happens in I've found so far
Textra
theChive
Various banking apps
I'm thinking it's something with the individual apps not being able to display in a certain aspect ratio? Dunno.
A little extra testing showed that this is independent of launcher used. I didn't think it would have an effect but figured I would give it a shot anyways. I used the google now launcher with no difference.
Try Settings, display, full screen apps. Toggle the individual program to be full screen. Should solve the problem.

Problem solved! No idea why this is an option I need to check. Bought the phone for a full screen, why would i not wanna utilize that full screen? lol
Programs aren't made to this aspect ratio yet. There could be glitches. You choose full screen you deal with the consequences.

Have you noticed when you receive a text message and you click on it from the notification screen it makes you swipe to open still? I have the AT&T version and this annoys me.
Like any notification you tap it and instead of opening the phone it goes to a blurry screen and makes you swipe again.
yeah, I wish apps went all the way by default when you install them, and if they don't work that way, I can go in an turn off. I have to go in and turn them all on at the beginning which is annoying.

I just watched your video closely. So you are talking about opening the textra message from the lock screen by double tapping? yeah, mine makes me unlock the phone too. I have iris scanner and FP setup. so if I double tap the message from the lockscreen, I have to unlock the phone first to see it or reply to it. I think that's pretty standard.
You can setup reply boxes on the lock screen. I haven't played with it much but I think it'll let you reply with a locked phone. Check out the heads up floating notification section under "when locked"

did you not have lockscreen security setup on your pixel? I know on my OnePlus One running 7.1.2, if I don't have any lockscreen security (just set to swipe), I can do what you are trying to do. But I think anytime you setup a pin, pattern, fp, etc., you have to insert in those unlocking methods first.
OR, did you have some kind of smart unlock setup on your Pixel that you haven't on your S8 yet? like proximity (home), connection (bluetooth or wifi), etc?

TS10 - No sound from Navigation App

Hello guys,
I am using TS10 (Model with eight cores and 8 GB RAM), everything was working fine, but a problem appeared a few days ago.
There is no sound from any Navigation app (alerts, route directions, etc.).
The music is getting volume gets low when the Navigation app is trying to reproduce a sound, and after that, it gets to the average level as it should be, and this way was working fine.
However, the problem is that there is no sound from the navigation app.
Is there a way to fix that?
The model that I am using: (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000575734624.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.0.0.8b0118029doI2H)

Hi,
So the problem is in Settings > Navigation app.
When I select an app that should be used for Navigation as default, the app I choose has no sound.
I tried Waze and Google Maps, and iGO:
When I select Waze as a default navigation application - Google Maps have sound and works great.
The opposite is when I select Google Maps as a default navigation application - Waze has sound and works great.
For a test, I tried to select YouTube as a Navigation, and it also had no sound when I opened it.
So the problem is the default navigation app in Settings.
Is there a way to fix that?
Thank you!

Hey, this usually happens when you try to open the app directly from it's icon
You should have a navigation icon that will redirect you to WAZE , and then it will work with sound

Unfortunately, no.
When I set a default app for navigation, it opens as you say from the Navi icon, but there is no sound.

You should look into the settings. Somewhere should be a setting to set the volume of the navigation.

I completely understand you, however the volume of Navi is set to max.
It was working fine a week ago, but something changed, maybe a bug.
Try writing in waze search ##@resetapp
Here is a video demonstration of the problem - setting different apps as a default Navi app, and they lost their sound also.
My seller suggested restoring the factory settings, and when I did that, the problem was solved for around 30 minutes.
After that, it appeared again.
I've got similar problem. Have you tried update firmware? You don't have newest possible. There is FW from November
I use OSMand in mine. I had no sound at all, but I noticed an error message "cannot initialise Speech". This lead me to go into Google Play and install the Google-tts service for my language. Since then, I have announcements. In fact I had so many announcements I had to disable most of them so I could hear the music.

Yes, I am using the latest TS10 update. It is interesting that after a factory reset, it worked for around 20-30 mins, and then it bugged again.

Go to Android settings -> Apps and notifications -> Advanced -> Apps with special permissions -> Access to notifications -> Uncheck "Google" option.
For some reason that service has broken notification chanel in Android sound output

Interesting.
One another attempt to access to "Access to notifications" menu:
1. Install Google
2. Install "Heads - up notifications" and open it:
Heads-up Notifications - Apps on Google Play
Get the new heads-up notifications from Android Lollipop on any device!
play.google.com
3. Click green button "Turn on/off notifications"
4. It should open lost menu where you will be able uncheck "Google" option.
5. Uninstall "Heads-up notifications" app, you don't need it anymore
