Change default "Complete action using" dialers and sms apps

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.

how to remove peeking notification?

how to remove headsup or peeking notifications ? on the LG G6 THANKS.

I don't have any peeking notifications unless you're talking about the phone call popup that shows when you're using the phone

When I get a text or any message the notification comes down on the screen I just want to remove that feature of it showing up on the screen while I'm doing something

Okay no what about other apps? I use Hangouts fpr my texting and it doesn't​ have this option. Any ideas?

The same question for me. I have peeking with whatsapp also, even if whatsapp has this option and by default has always been disabled. I don't like peek notifications I would like to understand how to remove them by phone options, not by app.

I managed to find that option. It's available in Facebook, or Facebook Messenger or in Facebook Messenger "Lite" too, but it's not available in Whatsapp that is my main interest
Can you check whatsapp?

This adb command works for sure
adb shell settings put global heads_up_notifications_enabled 0

I'm on AT&T and don't get these. Any way to activate them?

three applications can do it without root :

This was driving me nuts too, for Google Hangouts. Tried "Do No Disturb". Didn't work. Very frustrating when using the phone full screen in landscape mode.

Oreo Phone dialer changed

In Nougat 7.1.2 when using dual sims, the Green call button showed the two carriers you were using and you'd just press which one to start the call...
Now in Oreo the Green call button is the typical round circle, and when you tap it, now you get a popup window that says, 'Call with', showing both the carriers and you click on one.
Has anyone using dual sim cards noticed this? I really don't like this popup window and the extra step involved here, and would love to have the option the way it was in Nougat, if possible...

Request the APK of the Nougat version of the phone app from someone who has Nougat installed. Install it, and disable the Oreo version of the phone app.

Pls go to settings --> network and internet --> sim cards --> unders calls select preffered carrier.. that's all

What DoR3M3 wants is, the phone dialer should always show two "call" buttons for two sims,
So that he can easily choose irrespective of what's there selected in settings
Nougat dialer had that, which even i loved... In oreo its removed.
Me too want it back.

Yes someone understands! Why developers remove great UI options, I'll never understand! LOL
After all, doesn't anyone remember the day Popups came to town? Well, now some bone head developer makes this into a popup window choice, as if a popup anywhere is acceptable...
By the way, who removed this, Google or Xiaomi? We need to seriously round up the troops and get this bloody put back the way it was, because it was better!

I think it's Google.
A bad move...
If I figure out how to get it back/ or at least an alternative, I'll let you know

To clear some air. On Nougat, community and user criticised Google and Xiaomi for using AOSP code to build AOSP Ron when this phone was mentioned to be Google supported. Meaning, Nougat' dialer is directly from AOSP code and that supports dual call options.
On Oreo, Google and Xiaomi move comeletly to Google software and that is why now you see Google dialer(does not support dual call option like on AOSP) And messages app replaced. To name a few.
Hope this helps. In case you need the desired Dialer, try ZenUi dialer from playstore. It is great alternative from ASUS

Yeah, it's true. Earlier in N, I could delete call log of an individual in batch with an ease, but in O, I'm forced to delete it one by one, which is tiresome and irritating.

But did you noticed, even if you call from the other sim from ZenUi dialer. The call is made from the preferred sim.

@Eshwar123 thanks, I hope you or someone can figure out how to put it back...

This being AndroidOne, I thought ASOP would be correct, not Google...
I wonder if using the Feedback app is good, anyone use it? I'd rather not send something directly through the phone for security reasons... hmm Mi Community has a Feedback section on the forum, or maybe best just to email them... [email protected]

How to change the call screen?

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.

Up
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:

Phone app bug on OB8

Ever since I upgraded to OB8, I'm experiencing a weird and very annoying bug. On every incoming or outgoing call, my phone app gets automatically "minimized" as if home button is always pressed. What I always see is the little green pill on top left which I have to always press to bring back the phone app. I have no idea how to fix this. Please anyone help. I'm on international version and unrooted.
Thanks

try google dialer and see if it happens theres a patched apk somewhere around here. also might be the picture in picture settings under settings> app> phone/dialer.

Thank you for your feedback! I tried Google dialer in the past, it was always preferred until the VM stopped working, then I was forced to switch back to stock dialer. I also checked the PIP settings but the phone app it's not listed there. I guess I'll switch to Google dialer in interim. Thank you.

It's so bad that at times I don't even get the incoming call and people report calls go straight to VM. This needs to be fixed ASAP

Yeah same here on Google phone
