Essential Dialer APK

[MinimalistChris]

I have a bit of a favor for those with root on the stock Essential ROM...

I'm on Lineage OS now, but I forgot to grab the Essential Dialer APK before I switched over. Since that dialer is essentially the Google Dialer, I know it should work fine on Lineage. I'm just hesitant to grab it from APK Mirror because there are so many versions of it that I don't know which would even be compatible.

Thanks for any help! Love this community!!!

Maybe i´m wrong but after you installed Lineage and Gapps open Google Play Store and search for the Google Dialer. Its the same apk and thru Google Play Store you get the right vision, automatically.

it's the stock google dialer. for whatever reason, all the google functions still work on essential. not sure why, because non-google phones if you side load it, the search functions don't work.

It's weird. On Lineage, the Play store doesn't give me the Dialer in any results. So as a result, I tried just sideloading the latest compatible version from APK Mirror and it made my phone go a bit crazy. Perhaps I'll just use the regular Dialer that comes loaded with Lineage. Thanks guys.

On lineage, I installed the stock Google phone app because I wanted spam blocking. The phone app worked fine, I was able to make it the default app, and spam filtering worked... Until I rebooted and got repeat errors that wouldn't let the os load, effectively soft bricking the phone. I had to re install lineage. Just an fyi

When I installed Lineage and did a restore, it automatically downloaded the Google Dialer from the Playstore for me.

The phone apk the comes on essential's stock ROM is Google's dialer apk. When you install any LOS or AOSP based ROM you are getting the EXACT same thing. Lineage likes to use an older version of it, reasons why idk, but if you install Gapps you will get Google dialer out of the box and will be able to update to the latest version. Even the stock launcher, quickstep, is used in most of these ROMS, as well as on essential phone, stock ROM. You didn't miss getting anything installing Gapps does add apks and features that don't come stock on essential's stock ROM, along with whatever features the custom ROM you picked may have added but speaking strictly and specifically about the dialer itself it is exactly the same as Google Dialer APK

You're close... But wrong...

Any "LOS or AOSP" ROM is supposed to ship with the AOSP dialer... Because of its OSS nature...

The Google dialer is the AOSP dialer... But with much proprietary code added...

This should not ship with "any LOS or AOSP" ROM... Though it does... Because people can't read instructions on how to flash on A/B devices...

Anything associated with Google services... Is supposed to come via a GAPPS package...
