Google dialer for G4 root ( no recovery )

[titeloo]

If like me you unlik the original LG g4 dialer.
You can use this one from nexus original Google dialer 1.1

Unzip fil and use root explorer for copy it ( root/system/priv-app)
644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell
Reboot
And your new icon will be on the drawer.

Doesn't seem to work for me? App doesn't show after reboot


Edit: Permissions needed to be 0755

You copy the dialer folder on priv-app after unzip ?

 

[marcadam]

Doesn't work for me either.

It works fine what was missed is that in order to get it working you need to set the proper permissions on folder and apk. Thing is that there's no way to make Google dialer the default phone app. And there's a dual pop-up when receiving calls as well as both Google dialer and LG phone in call ui pops up when dialing and ending calls.

Do you mean that you get two pop ups when receiving a phone call or hanging up?

the google dialer cover lg original dialer screen but in notfication bar you will see two line on from lg dialer and on other from google dialer.
Is not perfect but for me better than orginal dialer

Could you freeze the stock one via TB to stop the 2 apps trying to handle calls?

That sounds like a great idea and a possible solution. I may try it. Thanks for the idea

 

[rldev]

Hmm. I copy the folder using Root File Manager to root/system/priv-app
But it doesn't show up.

 

[llaugerm]

Ok which apk I need to freeze in Titanium back up?

Tried that with Titanium, you cannot freeze the default dialer/in call UI, doing so will cause you to no be able to answer an incoming call. Call is the app responsible for popping up the LG incall UI, once you freeze that when you receive a call the phone will ring but you will have no way of answering the call. Also freezing the default phone you lose the ability to view contacts.

 

[bobloadmire]

there has to be a file somewhere that is pointing Android to which app to use for answering calls.

I just used this on my G2 and it works, thanks!

I couldn't get this to work using the folders which unzipped from the file.

I finally did get it to work by copying the apk directly into the priv-app folder, and giving it the permissions suggested above.

Working great.

Working great.

Also, I've got RRO layers working on every app on my G4 except settings.

This works perfectly, thank you!!!!
