There are a lot of apks and zips which aren't working on Moto Z. This one IS working.
Just flash it with TWRP and set as default phone app.

Doesn't it works as simple apk too?

I've tried installing all the versions from apkmirror, they all fail to install. (for me at least)
Have you tried installing it?

Well this is the only working file I could find.

Just tried... If you simply extract the two apk from the zip you can install them with no issues at all... (I prefer it from flashing...)

The Contact apk is the same as you can find on Play Store, while the Telephone apk is a (lot) newer version than that available on Play Store... Thanx a lot! :highfive:

EDIT: wrong! No problem with contacts, it can be downloaded and installed from Play Store too... BUT Telephone refused to install on Z while installed fine on another MM I use... I'll investigate more on this issue...

Ok, it's possible to install single apks BUT it's needed to install jar & permissions file (& reboot before...) so, for newbies is probably better to simple flash the zip (that is ok, I've cheched...)

Main difference is that flashing after the apps can't simply be uninstalled but become part of the system since they are put in priv-apps... (ok, they can be freezer or removed by a root file manager anyway...)

I'm using it anyway... small differencies for contacts, a lot more (and interesting...!) for dialer...

Yep the dialer refused to install Everytime and the new dialer is dope.
And the zip works fine to avoid all the hustle for newbies like me
Thanks for spending your time on it :fingers-crossed:

How did you root your phone? Do you have a Verizon phone?

Why there's no option to delete a post?

There's a modded apk here, somewhere, but the problem becomes the caller id functions don't work as it needs to be signed by Google to use the correct APIs. So unless Google messes up like they did with 2.05_rc4 we'll never have an "simple apk" version.

I saw. Already installed as I said... They need the .jar and .xml of permissions ...

Anyway, the dialer is a *major* upgrade, not only a "cosmetic" one... It is a newer version than the one released with Aosp Nougat 7.1 and beneath there are some newer versions too, it is the newer one working on MM too (the others need at least v. 7.0 to work...)

Does this works on Nougat?

Nope, it doesn't work with stock android nougat on my moto z xt1650-03, retailmx. After the restart the phone wasn't able to open, not a single app was able to recover my phone app; so I applied my TWRP backup and tried again, same result. So I decided to make it work because I didn't want to delete everything again so, this is what I did:
Make sure to flash the zip, and if you can use your phone anymore, don't panic like me...
1. Erase the app via Titanium Backup pro
2. Restart the phone
3. Go to the file explorer, find the zip of the nougatdialer and extract the dialer apk
4. install it like a normal app and voila!
5. grant permissions if needed.

 

[Manish54]

I think the normal apk should work on nougat.
If not here's the nougat zip:
