V20 dialer and contacts - LG V20 Questions & Answers

My H990DS has no video call option on dialer nor contacts and that makes very difficult for my little boy to see his granddad (who is far away and not able to use any app excerpt the stock dialer to make a video call) .Can somebody who has it on his phone please try to make apk-s of these apps with es file explorer (or any other way) and upload them somewhere (and post a link) so I could try and see if it will work on my phone.Btw I know that there's a bunch of such apps on the playstore but I would like to try the stock verizon,at&t,t-mobile,h990n (and the rest of v20 army) dialers that came with our phones.Thank you

But wouldn't it be considered a development if I manage to get video call working on this phone this way?For me it certainly would.
Thanks...

Don't worry about him he just wants to be a moderator. If your in a stock or sick based ROM I would try the mod version of Google phone it's only v23 right now but it should work on a stock ROM. You might have to change the vm access number for your service to get visual voicemail to work. For example in Verizon it's *86 not the phone number of the phone. It's the only way I know to get it on stock.

Thread moved to Q&A section since this is not a development thread.
Also, please:
- there's no need to reply when someone posts in the wrong section, just use the report button on the thread and the moderators will handle it, that's it.
- there's no need to reply publicly when people act like if they were moderators. If it's true, just use the report button, like just said above.
Thanks

thanks KenKiller for the reply,
I have searched the free app market for such a software but could not find, do you know if it is available as a paid app?
ahhh I missss that auto-vibrate so much !!!!!
I loved it on my magic. no need to hold the phone on our ears until they pick up
i tried to search for it, but in the end found many more threads where people asked for this function to be removed from many other phones.
Guess it's hard to please the whole world.
Place the phone.apk from this thread onto your SD card and use APKInstaller to install it. It should overwrite your stock phone.apk and will provide you the feature set you desire.
However, I don't know if this has been attempted on a SGS before - so be ready to restore your stock ROM if it doesn't work...

Waiting for a brave soul to try this.
I'm pretty sure the Phone app that comes with SGS is quite unique. After installing launcherpro the default phone button wouldn't even work until I replaced it.

Is there any news about this issue ?
uhhhh, sounds fun, let me book mark this and try it when i have spare time to mess around with my phone
For some reason the setting for this is in Settings > Sound and Display, Vibrate for Incoming Calls which is by default unticked. I thought I saw another somewhere else, going to poke around a bit more.
Edit: Damn, can't find it. I swear I saw options for vibrating at the start and/or end and or during calls, maybe I'm getting confused with my Magic though?
I really miss that feature from my old phone. The nearest app I can find is this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-cn-cwd-callvibrate-BApt.aspx

AOSP Dialer w/ DC or Fresh??

Is it possible to use the AOSP dialer (not the HTC stock one) with DC or Froyo. Right now, every time I make a call using Google Voice or something, the HTC call screen comes up. I don't want to completely scrap Sense because I like some things like the alarm app. Is there a solution?
Yes I posted this in Q&A, but there seems to be more Q than A there.
help please
I would like this too.
bumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbumpbump
I posted a reply on the thread started in dev and moved to QA, and I'll paste it here also. Hopefully we can either combine findings or someone will know the answer:
I'm hoping to do the same thing. I like the AOSP dialer and contacts much better.
I have been able to get the AOSP calendar, calculator, clock, browser, etc. to install on DC from bugless beast, so far with no problems.
However when I install some of the phone stuff I just get FCs for everything.
I installed the following apks from bugless beast on DC:
contacts
contactsProvider
Phone
Telephony
FutureDial
And got FCs. I haven't had a chance to try any further. Anybody else have ideas?
halp plz anyone
Can anyone do it?!
I can just install this and it will replace the sense dialer and call screen?

That seems a bit harsh, considering my post with some valid information to get closer to an answer. I think if a few of us work on different ways of doing this, we will probably figure it out.
I appreciate your response, but it wasn't an answer to my question so much as a question in itself. Does anyone know how to install the AOSP Dialer?
I pulled apart the apk and I am in way over my head. Not sure what I'm doing.

i would like to see the aosp dialer too. i dont like the sense dialer at all.

I did answer how to install the AOSP dialer, it just didn't work. I'm hoping more people than me can actively try to get this to work (I work 50 hours a week and have a kid so I don't have a lot of time on my hands). I'll try to stop arguing and explain how people can work on this
The needed files are contacts, contactsprovider, and phone. However there is apparently something else needed to make them work properly. It could be adding another apk, or removing another apk, or even editing some other file (config file, framework file, etc.)
So I'm trying a post in the development section. Hopefully they don't kill it. I have included careful instructions on how to install this stuff, and my progress so far with the dialer. If other people keep trying, hopefully we can figure it out. I can say that just installing that contacts.apk will probably not work, since contactsprovider.apk is almost certainly needed.

This error is because the nand partition isn't mounted yet. Issue "adb remount" before.
It will clearly work with a rooted EVO Rom. See the thread below for an example:

Yes, it certainly CAN work. I wish some of the people that have made it work in those ROMs would follow up with us and let us know.
Most interesting thing so far: in that thread I posted in the dev section, someone said it worked with pre 1.47 OTA ROMs. I'm hoping to try a few things soon to see when it does or doesn't work.
Fresh 0.53 is a Pre 1.47 Rom. I've been trying with that for almost a month. I even tried porting over the files you listed in your other thread. All I get is force closes.

Stock Dialer on MT4G?!

I was wondering is there any way to change the Dialer to stock one.
to be exact:
I know there are ways to change Contacts and Lock Screen to froyo one. But even if you do so, when you get a phone call (someone is calling you) you will see the htc Dialer with the "Drag down to answer" instead of froyo style.
I really want this since if the phone is in your pocket and someone calls you, while taking the phone out you may decline or answer the call!!!
Any help and idea is appreciated
Thanks

You just need to drag up the bar instead of dragging it down to decline a call. BTW wrong section.
Hope this helps!
I highly doubt that you can do change it. Main reason is that it's too tightly integrated into system (I mean half of the crap is in the com.htc.resources.apk!). I can try messing with it a little bit but I seriously don't think that it would work. And even if it works... you will still see Sense-style answer/decline on the locksreen because... yep... framework is highly modified.
Give me few hours, I'll push some files.
Edit: Actually, never mind, I'm not even going to attempt it... it's not going to work.
Please post questions in Q&A section.

How-To: Fix No Pics and Fix Voice Reply on Google Now

Google Now: NO Voice reply or Picture showing up work around.
This is for anyone who cannot get a voice to reply for anything in Google Now (that includes weather), and also for people who cant get a picture for Google Now cards. The reason for why voice does not work is because the languages are mixed in settings. I used to have Google Now as English Canada, but voice as English US. Unfortunately, I cannot use English Canada, so I had to set them all to English US.
This is how I did it:
1. Go into System settings > Language and Input
2. Make sure Language is set to English (US)
3. Make sure Google voice typing is checked and set to Automatic
4. Click on Voice Search underneath SPEECH. Make sure Language is set to English (US) and Speech Output is set to always speak
5. Go into Text-to-speech output. Click on the Google Text-to.. settings icon. Language should be set to English US.
6. Test voice by going into Google Now and asking it the weather. It should reply! Note: For weather, the voice always replies, which is why you should test weather.
7. Click Thanks if this helped
Picture not showing up for cards: This is pretty easy.
1. Go into Google Now
2. Click on Settings>Privacy and Accounts> and check off "Search on google.com"
3. Test it by asking a question that has a picture. For example: "How tall is Kobe Bryant?" The picture should now show up.
4. Click Thanks if this helped
Any questions, just Private Message me. ^.^ or post in the thread.
PS. This workaround worked for me, on CM10 v8 Alpha Preview by FE with the Gapps from OP and Devil 1.0.4 Test3 JB kernel. Also, for pictures, one other user reported that he did not get the "search on google.com" option. Please test it out and tell me if it works, THANK YOU! Also, click thanks if I helped ;D
Feedback please? Does it work? Yes, no? Click "Thanks" if it helped?
tested it, still no pic shown
Thats strange. It works 100% for me on any ROM. If I go into Google Now > Settings > Privacy and accounts > Check "Search on google.com" (bottom blurb says "Using www.google.com instead of your local domain (www.google.ca), the picture shows up perfectly. If I uncheck that, no picture shows up. Im sorry if im unable to help, but thats how I managed to get it working. I really dont know why its not working for you, sorry. :/
Mine doesn't have the option to search Google etc in privacy, however I am able to get pics.
Followed steps and speak back feature works great!

I've implemented these changes myself and I still had some issues sadly ^^
Mostly with voice recognition. But thank you for the contribution!
bro, its working now, finally figured it out where those stuff is located, its working like charm now, but without cards.
I think you may need to use them a bit more. I always get cards. And I think it also depends what you ask it Weather should always have a card. (99% sure)

Hmm, I know this sounds stupid, but is your volume at max? It didnt work for me once because my volume was down lol. Major fail on my part.
Also, could you tell me your settings on Voice in Google Now settings?
It should be Language: Default - English(US), Speech Output: Always Speak. (The other two are block offensive words and Hotword detection which are both checked, but they shouldnt make a difference either way)
Other settings to be aware of are:
-Make sure profiles is off (some profiles might have silent activated)
-Settings>Language and Input>Language, English (US)
Unfortunately, Im not on the same rom as you are right now, (Im on RemICS - JB) so we have some different settings in the Language and Input part, but I'll make a backup and flash PA 360 and try to make google now voice stop working to see what settings are stopping yours. I apologize for this thread of not being much help to you. If you manage to get it working before I can find which settings are messing it up, then kudos to you, and please share your new findings so I can update the thread. Really, I dont know why half the community has it working and the other half doesnt.

Google Dialer - On LG G3

Greetings XDA Members,
I've searched for quite some time, with limited success on keeping a stock rom along with Google Dialer. The best of both worlds if you will, that would allow great features without the loss of another. It was always a debate between using a AOSP rom at the loss of the camera, or sticking to stock and working with xposed to change settings to an agreeable state. With endless google searches, forums read, and opinions given by others; they all seemed to end with "Not Possible". Well, with some trial and error I have found a workable solution that will allow the Google Dialer to replace the stock dialer, and also allow for "In-callui" to replace the stock one.
It also needs to be mentioned, that I cannot guarantee this will work with your variant, custom rom, or other items not factored into the equation. Though this has worked for me without fail on the ATT Model D850 on Cloudy 2.5 but there are a few details to note. The "In-callUI" will show for both Incoming & Outgoing calls, but you will first see your stock one come up for a brief second or so and switch over. For me, this isn't an issue as I don't immediately answer or hang up when a call completes. Some of the items recommended in the prerequisite are optional and provide other ways to find/adjust permissions, or freeze/delete applications (Stock dialer). I'm not personally an avid developer, but if you have any questions I've been able to gain a great deal of knowledge over the years with hands on experience with the Android operating system. Feel free to ask any questions that may come up, and I'll be happy to assist if possible.
Pre-requisites;
LG G3 - Rooted
Custom Recovery with knowledge on Flashing ZIP files.
Root Explorer / File Manager
Nova Launcher / App to launch an activity.
Titanium Backup (recommended to backup Dialer and other applications in case of damage)
Included in the attachments is the file GoogleStockDialerAndMms. This file is a flashable zip that will automatically adjust the permissions necessary to make calls. It's highly recommended that you make a backup of your current rom with TWRP/CWM in case any issues arise. As this adds two files to your system directory, there is always a chance that an error can occur.
If you choose the route of Nova, you can create a shortcut to an activity. Below I've included a screenshot of which activity needs to be chosen in order to use Google Dialer.
Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
Choose "Shortcuts"
Select "Activities"
Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are. If you choose to do attempt this, I highly recommend against uninstalling and instead move to FREEZING the phone applications with Titanium Backup or similar root enabled application.
747 views, and 44 downloads. Hopefully everything has been smooth for everyone attempted. Please leave feedback if you have any issues.
Good to see it's over 1200 views and counting. If anyone has any issues, feel free to reply so they can be addressed.
hi @Eruvion, just wanted to check if we get the search feature with your google dialer? or does this depend on the country you live in? thanks.

thanks, i will try it once im back home.
yesterday i installed the apk from apkmirror and created a shortcut for google dialer. everything worked as should other that the tab in the most left, i think thats the call history. the dialer FC anytime that icon was touched.
Good job on this even if Im already running an AOSP based ROM, I dont need this.
But you took time writing and explaining everything so thanked all your posts,
Have a nice day

i flashed the zip and everything seems to be working fine. i am also able to search close by businesses, i typed pizza and it showed me the closest pizza places.
the only FC i am getting is in settings when i tap call settings-voicemail, call waiting. i don't use that so its ok for me. thanks again.
also i did not have to create a shortcut, the app icon was there after restart.

Doesn't work here....either when triggered from a Nova Settings widget or from the icon in the launcher. Instant force close. I can try to grab a log if you think it'll help?
D852, running Dene_Bluesman's rom (basically stock LG 5.0.1)
Edit - wonder if its because the rom version i'm using is odexed? Going to try the deodexed version and report back....
Edit 2 - nope still crashes instantly. Super frustrating! Please let me know if a log will help! @Eruvion
I want to try this on my lg G2, is there any reason you think it might not work? Anything that would make this zip specific to the G3?
+1 on this. would like to see if we can get this to work on Cloudy for G2.
Hi
This thread seem's a bit dead. Anyway i have flashed this file and it works. I am on N&N 1.3 rom. It's a stock mm based rom.
