It works

Hey. Thanks to all the posts here and to whoever posted that zip which flashes the Google dialer.

I made a flashable zip which deletes the truecaller apk, CM dialer and in call UI (DialerNext and INCallUINext) and replaces it with the dialer/call UI from the most recent CM 12.1 Nightly. Main advantage is that it has more forward/reverse lookup features and I think maybe also call recording depending on your location (doesn't seem to work in the USA but I managed to record a call in the UK).

I'm sharing it here for whoever is interested but flash at your own risk. Please note, it only worked for me on a clean flash so you will probably need to factory reset to get it to work. If you try a dirty flash you may end up without a dialer.

Let me know how it goes.

How did you "clean install"? The only way you end up without a dialer is if you dirty flash or fail to do a full factory reset (wipe cache, dalvik and data) before flashing this. So try again with a full wipe.

I went into TWRP>Wipe>Advanced wipe and cleared Dalvik cache, system, data and cache. Then went and installed cm 12.1-Y0G4PAS1N0. Performed the setup and then flashed the zip file, rebooted to no dialer.

Don't perform the setup! That's not considered clean flashing the mod. You were fine initially TWRP>Wipe>Advanced>clear Dalvik/system/data/cache>install cm 12.1-Y0G4PAS1N0. Then install the mod immediately while still in recovery without rebooting in between. Then reboot and setup your phone.

That worked, thank you! Just curious though, why does performing the setup mess it up?

I'm not sure but I'm guessing that during setup the system configures itself to use whatever dialer is installed at the time of first boot. When you remove it it disappears.

Is there any way to go back to truecaller dialer
You'll have to factory reset (wipe cache/dalvik/data/system in recovery) and then reflash the stock ROM.

OK I have a question or did ibdo something wrong. I flashed the Google dialer bit now it won't theme anymore. Is there one that does?

I think it's normal because most themes are set to theme the stock apk

Is there any way to get true caller integrated dialer on other CM based ROMs?

I'm using unofficial cos12.1 which has dialer without true caller. I need true caller..

Plz help
