Replacing the dialer or phone app

[Droid_Nut]

How would I go about replacing the Q5 dialer with the Q3 dialer? I tried it with TITBU by freezing and installing the APK but it failed?

Actually TITBU did downgrade the dialer, but it looks the same, so blocking must be at the kernel level?

Hey! The version of the messaging app only changes features. The UI is all serverside, hence why google can suddenly change messages back to its original theme.

So you are saying the messaging app decides what features the phone app has?

Yes. Doesn't affect UI unless it is a really old version.
