I installed a third party dialing app and want to get rid of the Vivo dialer as it won’t stop acting as the default dialer.
I have used ADB regularly to remove apps so I am familiar with the process. My question is - There are four pre-installed phone apps. Not sure if I should delete all four or just the actual dialer app.
They are:
Phone – com.android.dialer
Phone – com.android.phone
Phone Management – com.android.incallui
Phone Service – com.android.server.telecom
Phone/Messaging Storage – com. Android.providers.telephony
Thanks for any help or insight you can provide.

Deleting only [com.android.dialer] will work well for third-party apps.
it's not working also, DO NOT uninstall com.android.phone
I am adding myself to this thread, as I regularly use Google Dialer on other phones with ROMs more dev-friendly.
I installed the patched apk from Xda but when I receive a call, it's still showing the default Vivo dialer.
I replaced it in the default apps and also applied all the security permissions to app and in security center, but still no success.
Any idea?

Then try activity launcher method.
Install activity launcher app
Open app select all activities in the drop down at top
Scroll down and navigate to settings in the list
Open settings and check for Default App and click on it
Default app window will be launched.
Now select phone from there and select the dialer u wish to use.

no, at least for me i didn´t use adb for changing the stock phone app.
The activity launcher method didn't work on my Chinese NEX with Android 8 but it works very well after I upgraded to Android 9.
Thanks for the guidance, it works perfectly NEX 3
Download activity launcher from App Store
Search for settings
Look for default apps
Select the new dialer app as default
Done
Note: you have to ensure that all permissions and notifications are activated for the new dialer app
It works for me with my Nex 3
There are multiple apps by the same name as "Activity launcher"
can anyone please tell me which is the correct one?
I want to change default dialer of Vivo Y55
Thanks

UPDATE: Version 1.1 is prettier and now launches straight to the Google Voice inbox without the delay from Version 1.0.
Here is a simple app I created that will allow Google Voice to be launched from the message icon on the MIUI lockscreen. I use it with this ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527
Usage:
Install the attached APK.
Lock your phone.
Unlock your phone from the MIUI lockscreen by swiping with the message icon on the right.
In the "Complete action using" dialog, check "Use by default for this action" and select "Inbox"
You're done! Now whenever your unlock your phone with the message icon, it should launch straight to the Google Voice inbox.
You may need to uninstall any previous versions of the app, since they were signed with the debug keys. To do so, navigate through the following:
Settings -> Programs -> Manage Applications -> Downloaded -> com.ayuforever.googlevoicecatcher -> Uninstall
For anyone who's interested, the reason that Google Voice isn't available by default from the lockscreen message icon is that it doesn't have the intent filter for the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. This app registers the needed intent filter and in turn launches the Google Voice app.
This is really cool.
How hard is it to change the lock screen icon designations?
Is it possible to change one of the icons to be a search icon, so that when you unlock with it, it launches a search keyboard?
p
lets try this again.

All I wrote was an app that catches an intent that Google Voice didn't already catch. Changing the icons on the lock screen? You'd have to ask the MIUI devs about that.

I don't understand what means. You are making the messaging icon point at another process or app?

The messaging icon starts the activity for the default intent of the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. While the stock messaging app and other apps like Handcent register this intent, the Google Voice app does not.
All this app does is register the necessary intent and then start Google Voice.
It doesn't do any sort of modding to the MIUI lockscreen at all.
how do I uninstall it? thanks in advance
I don't have to wait long for google voice to open I use swiftkey it opens quick for me thanks

Google Voice for calling
Have any of you gotten Google Voice making calls to work? So far the dialer doesn't seem to want to route my calls through Google Voice... :-/
Ran across this today. Wonderful stuff. Works perfectly after setup.
Edit: Working on Samsung Captivate
Thanks.
Working great so far with Rod's miui mod!
I've been wanting something like this for a long time.

Hi everybody.
Today I present here a Samsung s3 like lockscreen replacement which will actually replace your default lockscreen and you'll never need to launch that app after a reboot to activate it (I know its too annoying :-\ )
HERE I WANT TO MENTION THAT I HAVEN'T CREATED THIS APP. I'M ONLY SHARING IT HERE
This, let me tell u, is the BEST lockscreen out there to get you rid of that default one. Also this doesn't consume your ram as go locker and others do so you won't sacrifice performance for beauty. What else could you want !!!!
Here's how to go about it :-
1. Download the apk file from the attachments.
2. Install the apk as a system app (IF U DONT KNOW HOW TO then first install it as user app and then use titanium backurp to convert it to a system app )
3. After the installation long touch on ur desktop.
4. Choose the following - Shortcuts>Activities>Touch the name "unlock screen">Choose the second activity.
5. Touch the icon that just appeared and first enable the lockscreen.
6. Now choose the Set sceen lock option and choose swipe.
7. Now u can change wallpapers and shortcuts to be shown on the lockscreen as u wish.
Although there aren't many features here but this lockscreen is permanent and will not affect performance at all.
Congrats !!!! You've just set up your phone's lockscreen to be completely like Samsung GS3.
Whenever you want to disable the lockscreen or uninstall the app all u need to for is disable the screen from the settings of the app and then uninstall.
If u have any queries, post them here and I'll answer u as soon as possible.
I have also attached some screenshots for u to see if you're unable to understand anything. Also if you like the app then post it here and rate the thread well. (I can't force you to thank me but if you liked the app then why not )
ENJOY THE BEAUTY.........
DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF THIS HELPED YOU
I've installed it as system app but when I long-press my desktop there is no "Activities" option under "shortcuts". :crying:
Edit: I've managed to get it working by downloading a shortcut creator app from the playstore. It's nice but I stick to my default lockscreen because of two things:
1. The app still shows under my running applications consuming around 2-6mb of RAM acceptable but;
2. It does not have notifications for unread sms and missed calls?
Thanks still.

Thanks for trying the app. The problem is that I didn't write the code so I can't really help that shortcut issue. Anyway I'm trying to find a workaround so maybe this'll be fixed soon.

Hi, I just tried giving a missed call to my phone and found that it does show a notification which is a semi-transparent round icon at the centre of the screen. Also u can add a shortcut to the call log app for direct access to missed calls and a message icon for messages.
Hi can you help me again? I uninstalled this app without deactivating it as device administrator, it went well except for a few expected forced closes which was easily resolved by rebooting my device. A few days after I wanted to give this app another shot, installed it as system app but when I try to create a shortcut I only have one activity to choose from that is "settings". It still activates as my locker but I wanted it to be a device administrator again. By not being a device admin my default locker shows up for while during boot-up until the app loads and takes over the lock. When it as installed as a device admin it was instant upon boot. Hope you can help solve my problem which is primarily why doesn't it show up among the device administrator choices anymore?

Hello. This app (being installed as a system app) doesnt need to be a system administrator. Also you can't install an app that has the status of system administrator without disabling it. Therefore I assume that you've missed something in the description. As or the problem of the other locker app taking over, the simplest solution would be to uninstall that app. Post again here if this didn't solve the issue.
Hello, thanks for the reply. After days of having this app as my default lockscreen, my "complaints" are probably not worth it (especially the device administrator thingy ^^). It's working flawlessly, default lock is not showing up anymore. So it stays as my default lockscreen. And by the way there is a missed SMS notification after all. Again thank you! :good:

Hi,
I've tried nearly 10-12 apps to do this but no one could do it. Just the Launchify app did something that i want.
The problem is when you create a direct dial shortcut to notification drawer/bar it does not do the calling when you tab.
It gives different errors according to the app. One is saying can't find the app the other gives more spesific error ( Attached).
What must i do to change the permissions with root or terminator framework etc? Or why is this happening? Can someone help?
Thanks.

B103 also sounds like it would be an incredibly old firmware, I'd suggest updating to NXT-L29C185B320 which has brought about fixes for quite a few bugs (most notably the delayed notifications issue) and added a few features.

How to remove tha phone icon from the home display ?
I do not like the deafult phone app, and I already installed another one from the playstore. But I am not able to remove the icon of the default app !!!!!! Very weared .
I hope I will not have to live with it...
Best bet is to install custom rom or unofficial build. Be able to get latest and greatest for mate 8.
Still some annoying small issues that hasn't been fixed. Like the black on dark notification text.

Is anyone know why gboard and a couple of my apps revert back to their settings to default?
My ROG Phone 5 is no root, bootloader locked, and every permission on the apps setting is allowed
I even uninstall gboard via adb and re-download via playstore but still revert back
I've the same problem but I couldn't fix this up.
Unistalling&reinstalling or rolling back to previos versions of gboard can't solve the problem.

Are you using twin apps? If yes, that's the problem, you should remove any twin apps and the gboard won't revert it settings anymore.
You can use app called "Island" to replace the twin app functionality.

Would it also work to add Gboard to both with the same settings?
Did a little digging and found someone that had the same idea and confirmed it was working. if you configure Gboard within Twin Apps, it will save those settings.

Are you referring to the Island app? Unfortunately, the gboard installed on the Island workspace is different from the main workspace, but you can apply the same settings like on the main workspace.
Yeah, I know that used double of storage for gboard, but getting gboard reverts itself everytime is annoying.

No. I was suggesting a way to avoid installing redundant apps with a relatively simple and low-cost workaround. If you save the Gboard settings from inside Twin Apps, they don't reset.
