I have stuck with CleanROM on every single device I have used. GS3, Note 2, TF300T, & Nexus 7. I can't wait for CR on my Note 3. Otherwise, I was just going to stay stock rooted.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] ronaldheld:
Scott looking forward to your Cleanrom. Will you be posting it in the N3 Android development forum when it is ready to be tested?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] YankInDaSouth:
Scott! I'm so glad to see you supporting the N3!! I was truly lost after you had to stop developing for the Note 2! I wasn't going to do the whole Safestrap/ROM thing on my N3, but this changes everything!!!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] manatti:
I was going to stay on stock but when clean rom comes, the flashing begins. Thanks Scott
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] TH3 ST1G:
Glad to see you back sir!
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigjohns97:
Uh Oh i see a download link today, can't wait to try this bad boy out.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rayhodge02:
Nice to see you support the n3 loved your rom on my n2
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Scott:
The download links are for stock rooted.

CleanROM is not out. When its out you will know.

The easiest way to stay up with what I do is follow me on Facebook and or Twitter.

Everything gets posted there first :good:

Having the most bad ass phone on the market... $700.00

Nice to see you back at it Scott, how's everything going??
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] bigjohns97:
Exact reason why i upgraded to the note 3, gotta love that s pen.

what vdi system is that?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Scott:
Back has been doing pretty good! Back in it full swing again!

VDI?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] christianpeso:
Are you using an app for Remote Desktop? If so, which one do you use?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Scott:
Microsoft one. It just got released. Before that I used a different one.

Hold on...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Scott:
Microsoft one seen in screenshots: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.rdc.android

The one I used before that until this one came out: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.rdpclient

I like the free Microsoft one better. It seems like its more fluid.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] rawdikrik:
Scott, any thoughts on supporting Sprint version? I was one of the few waiting for your note 2 rom that never came and feeling bittersweet about your note 3 announcement.

I'm willing to test for you if need be...
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] shiftr182:
FYI all, version 1.0 has been released on Scotts website. Flash away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thethotbot:
I'm very sad to admit that I updated from 4.2.2 to 4.3 on my Verizon Galaxy S4 and lost root. I made the terrible assumption that someone would root 4.3 quickly after release, but didn't want to wait to see the updates. So far, the only two solutions are:

1. Root on 4.2.2 and upgrade through this method

2. Use VROOT to root stock 4.3

This thread and this article both make me VERY wary of using VROOT, but this seems to be the only option once you do the OTA update.

Has there been any additional investigation into VROOT? Is it safe to use again, or is it a lost cause?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bjoostema:
As of right now, that is the only option that I am aware of. I am no dev, but I have been tinkering with my phones for quite some time. I personally have not encountered a single ill effect from using vroot. There is a script which completely wipes it off your phone and installs the supersu app. Ultimately, it is up to you...I did it and I'd do it again. No ill effects what so ever and it's been a few weeks-nothing wonky to report.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thethotbot:
I'm really on the fence... My fear is that I don't want to compromise my Google Account, since my whole life goes through that thing. Did you find that hidden app was installed after using VROOT?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] tech_head:
Why is there yet another thread asking the SAME question about rooting MJ7??????

Not a single thing was different on my phone. There were even some folks who ran an md5 checksum on all apps and reported that nothing was altered what so ever on any system level. I understand your concern, it took me a couple weeks before finally doing it. I really weighed it out and decided that root was important to me. Also, a good dev on the forums did it with no ill effects. I have faith in him and thus far, nothing has happened. I don't want to push you into it though. I don't even worry about it anymore since the script wipes all traces of the chinese superuser app off the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Poonbag:
I did the same thing. My life runs through my google account and I was very weary. I dont see anything strange occurring and ran malware scans on both the PC and phone and didnt find any trojans. I am assuming it is safe with the removal script posted on Rootjunky.com
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thethotbot:
I'm going for it.

Alright.... I just did it. I used Sandboxie on my computer to temporarily install the Chinese program (just to be safe), and everything on my phone now looks like it's fine. I'll keep a close eye on my accounts, and have enabled Two Step Authorization on my Google Account. I'll still be super bummed out if it ends up VROOT is collecting personal data, but I just couldn't bring myself to wait for root any longer. :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jhom52:
I'm curious to know if the developers of vroot have removed the data mining features from the more recent versions?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] vanvalks:
Has anyone been able to get the smart dialer from the Nexus 5 working on the Moto X? I have a Nexus 5 and and the smart search feature in the dialer was actually really nice to use. For those who don't realize what I am talking about- this is the feature in the dialer where you can search "AutoZone" within the dialer and it will pull up the 3 listings closest to you. Also when you call local businesses it displays their name and picture instead of just the phone number.

I'm trying to decide between the Moto X or the N5 and it is such a hard decision every little thing is factoring in. Thanks!

Edit:

Some people later in the thread have had success with this dialer apk in the download link below:

[Moto X Themes and Apps] builtboosted:
Let me tell you from my own experience. I bought a nexus 5 moments after launch. Upon receiving it, I liked it but its really barley different from the nexus 4 (which I was coming from) other than kit Kat. Fast forward 3 weeks, I sold my nexus and bought a moto x. I'm much happier with this device. Its way more innovative than the nexus 5. Touchless control and active display are amazing. As far as hardware I notice no difference. The display is just as good but in a different way. And the camera may not be better but takes good pictures. Overall I'm 100% happy with my decision and will never look back.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] vanvalks:
Thanks for weighing in there. I actually think the Nexus 5 is an amazing phone. Each phone has pros and cons. The Smart Dialer being a pro of the Nexus 5 since I was actually using the feature. So back to my original question, anyone? anyone?

I'm guessing it is more than just installing the N5 dialer apk otherwise it would be readily available for install.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
The dialer is available with directions for some other phones. I tried and it didn't work on the Moto X though. I'd love to figure out how to get it.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] EVOSerb:
How's the new dialer any different from Google now? I mean besides the caller id feature i can just Google "autozone" and it will give me the all info like a dialer. Enlighten me lol
[Moto X Themes and Apps] tw1tch175:
Less steps and a bit cleaner but honestly it really isn't much and I wouldn't let it effect my decision that's for sure.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] vanvalks:
Feels more like you are searching for someone in your contact list vs. googling the number. Time wise it is probably the same if you are quick with google now. It is nice having the functionality in the dialer app vs switching over to google now if I am already in the dialer. The caller id feature is what I really like about it though. Say yesterday I called Autozone and then I need to call them again today, I can completely skip over opening google now and repeating the search process, just go straight to my history, see the name and location of the Autozone (especially helpful I I had called multiple locations) I called and click to call, no searching, no trying to remember what time of day I called them yesterday, what number it was, etc.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Jamolah:
If you called autozone the it would be in your call log either way.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dobbs3x:
What if you call Autozone and they don't have the part and you need to call Carquest or napa. I can see how the smart dialing could be convenient.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ajftl:
Different is that u can search for business right from dialer and get results. Its like yellow pages built in in your dialer.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
I could be wrong but I think we are missing an .odex file that is supposed to go with the GoogleDialer.apk into /system/priv-app. I could be wrong, but I swore I read that somewhere...just wish I could find/remember where.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
I already tried that and it still doesn't show up in the app drawer.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] vanvalks:
With the new dialer it would be labeled in the history as AutoZone + location info, with the stock dialer all you see is the number, so if you have called many numbers that are not in your contacts then good luck remember which number was AutoZone in your history.

Anyhow I switched back to my Nexus 5 anyway as I decided I liked it better than the Moto X, so for me this thread is now a moot point.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
What I find weird is that my Phone icon didn't change to the Kit Kat style icon after the actual Kit Kat update, but once I installed the GoogleDialer.apk, it changed. Hmmmm......
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
That's strange. Mine didn't change at all after adding the google dialer. Permissions are correct.

Does it work by any chance?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
No, it doesn't have the features like the Nexus 5, just the typical Kit Kat dialer. I'm downloading the Neux 5 system dump and going to play around.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
I'm thinking it's some lib files or something missing.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
I pretty sure you're right. I removed the Dialer.apk and .odex and Renamed the GoogleDialer to just Dialer. No "Phone" in the app drawer but when I clicked on someones number in the contacts, it made a call. Renamed it back to GoogleDialer, same result. Replaced Dialer.apk and .odex, took the TeleService.apk and .odex from the Nexus 5 dump and replaced the originals. The dialer's settings FC'd on me. Hmmmm........damn it!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
No one else seems to be trying. Keep it up. I'm sure there's a way.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] matt99017d:
Keep up the good work!

I'd try if I knew what the hell I was doing. I don't even know where to start!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
I'm going to keep trying a little at a time but I don't want to get any hopes up. Not having a custom recovery for backing up makes me a little leery on what I can and can not do, without having to flash back to square 1. But I'll do what I can to TRY and figure it out.

Correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't we have to port over Contacts and Telephony provider since they're dependents?

Messed with all the contacts apk's, telephony apk's, dialer apk's, as well as the .odex files, etc. etc. etc. and can't get it. Lost contacts, dialer, and signal at various points. This is becoming an obsession. Lol
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
I'm not sure if 4.4.1 fixes anything but I've heard from a few friends with the N5 that the new dialer is a little buggy and they prefer the old one. This has made me slow down on trying to get it working.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Talguy:
So it sounds like the smart dialer is another N5 exclusive?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] kolyan:
did you try just flashing the zip ?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] SovietKommando:
Although I would love to have the google dialer, the thing that really bug me right now is that Phone still has the 4.3 icon, not 4.4's. Is there any way to just change the icon without a custom launcher? (I prefer to use GEL)
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dobbs3x:
In not positive but I believe GEL only comes installed on the nexus 5. If you updated your moto x to 4.4 you still wouldn't have GEL you would have to download it separate and install it.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] SovietKommando:
Oh I know. I was saying that I currently use GEL and prefer that over other launchers, so I don't want to have to use a custom launcher like Nova or something just to change the dialer icon.

Download "Icon Changer Free" by Juyeong in the Play Store and "Android 4.4 Kitkat Theme" by Gaurav Mantri. You can choose to create a new Phone icon using the KK icon from the theme.

On another note, I still haven't gotten any closer to figuring the dialer out BUT I missed a call today and when I clicked on it in my notifications, I got the choice to use "Dialer" or "Google Dialer" to view the missed call. I chose "Google Dialer" and hit "Always", and sure as sh#t there was the Google Dialer with Google Caller ID/Search at the top that worked when I typed in auto repair. The Always option did not stick however, but "Google Dialer" does pop up as a choice with every missed call I try to view. This is starting to pi$$ me off. Lol

Just taking the GoogleDialer.apk, putting it in /system/priv-app and setting permissions to rw-r-r (as instructed by that OP) does not work. I've tried it myself. I have the apk there now and the dialer does not have the Google ID/Search option.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Talguy:
Do you thinking renaming the factory dialer to something else and naming the google dialer to the factory name would make it work?

Edit: Looks like Android Police has a nice article on how to install the google dialer via a flashable zip. I guess you need to be rooted an unlocked to do it. Looks like I'll be unlocking my phone this weekend

I tried the androidpolice method. On moto x the dialer doesn't show unless you use nova and create a shortcut.

Holy crap why didn't I think of that, it's alive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:28 AM ----------

Tried renaming, along with a lot of other ideas, and so far the only thing that has worked is using Nova Launcher to make a shortcut like the AP article you posted said to do, thanks for that btw.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] cmo220:
I'm surprised I didn't think of that either. Probably because I use the Google experience launcher but I just figured out a way to make that work too.

I downloaded an app from the store called activity launcher. Open that up and change the settings to all activities. Then scroll to Google dialer. Long press the first phone option listed and select create shortcut.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] clavin78:
Thanks man. That's a way better solution since I like the Google launcher
[Moto X Themes and Apps] atomb:
there is an app in the market called QuickShortcutmaker that also works for creating a shortcut on your launcher of choice. Couldn't get the new app the accept calls though. Maybe something to do with teleservice.apk not communicating with the new version.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dems86:
Nice, followed the instructions on the Android Police article and got the Google Dialer running just fine. So awesome being able to search for business numbers without habving to go into Now.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] dems86:
Make sure you are under activities for "Google Dialer" not "Dialer". They will both be there. I made the initial mistake of just adding a shortcut from "Dialier" activities before realizing my mistake, DOH
[Moto X Themes and Apps] kolyan:
Dialer is the stock I know, Google Dialer is what's installed.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] zgroten:
I've created a shortcut to it from nova but clicking on any search results in a force close of Google Dialer. Anyone else? A fix?

Edit: I've got it working through the flashing method. Those of you doing the apk method make sure you put it into system/priv-app
[Moto X Themes and Apps] clavin78:
I'm not really impressed with it. Its not really a search, maybe its not supposed to be. Idk. If you search Chinese food then it will only give results if those words are in the name. You have to know the name of the place you want.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] SovietKommando:
Oh wow thank you for this!
[Moto X Themes and Apps] kolyan:
I see my mistake. Priv-app....I put it in regular app folder

So does Google called ID work for anyone?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] Rockinronnie7:
I am rooted on Verizon Moto X (not DE) and the dialer installs but does not have the search ability or the caller ID as well. Did you use the apk method or the flash method from the Android Police article?
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
If u don't have a DE, then u can not flash. Download the .apk, move it to /system/priv-app, fix permissions to rw-r-r, (using Nova launcher) add a shortcut through Nova Actions choosing Google Dialer and the first listing it has for "Phone", or use one of the apps already mentioned in the thread, to make a shortcut using a different launcher.

This is the only way to get it to work on the Moto X right now.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] dobbs3x:
If you have a non DE you can flash, you just need an unlocked boot loader and a custom recovery, and you don't need a DE to have those .
[Moto X Themes and Apps] jimmiet:
I should have mentioned IF u can unlock ur bootloader, u can flash. Unless ur on VZW and can't unlock ur bootloader like myself.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] TheWhiteChallenger:
Actually that not quite accurate either. SafeStarp can flash these types of mods w/o issues, you just cant flash kernals, Recoveries, and stuff like that.

Has anyone figured out how to get the GoogleDialer to be the default dialer for incoming calls? Would be nice to have the Google Caller ID feature. Going to app settings and clearing defaults doesn't work, its grayed out : \
[Moto X Themes and Apps] SovietKommando:
Use another phone to call yourself and let it go to voicemail. Once it goes to voicemail hang up and the call will show up as missed, then tap the notification and select Google Dialer as the default app. It might take a few tries to get it to stick but eventually it did for me.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] c19932:
tried that many times. The choosing box popped up everything and it never sticks =[
[Moto X Themes and Apps] ThatFrigginAzn:
For those that are familiar with the Android Police article for dialer install and want to have Google Dialer work without Nova Launcher, there is an app in the Play Store called Activity Launcher that does what Nova does.

The easiest way to go from no dialer to dialer would be to flash the zip in recovery then install Activity Launcher from the Play Store. Once you open it there should be Phone in the list. Select and hold for options, then select add shortcut. Voila, working dialer on home screen, and one step closer to emulating the Nexus 5.

For people that are rooted nit should be very simple. All I did was download Eclipse ROM and extract the Google dialer apk from /system/priv-app/ and copy it you your system/priv-app/ folder. Make sure you delete your old dialer.apk and fix the permissions on the new google dialer.

[Moto X Themes and Apps] stacio88:
Alright, it's very simple

1. Download a copy of the GoogleDialer.apk (Google it, there's plenty floating around the web)

2. Delete you Dialer.apk from your /system/priv-app/ folder (its not needed, why yowpuld you need two dialers ?)

3. Copy the the GoogleDialer.apk into your /system/priv-app/ folder and fix the permision (rw-r-r)

4. Reboot your phone and it should work.(make sure Google location reporting is on for it to work.)

I'm running Google Experience Launcher and I had to do no such thing as creating a shortcut.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] c19932:
I removed the old dialer and now when I make or receive a call, there is no phone call interface.

I don't mind keeping the old dialer, it's just that I want the Google dialer to be the default so I can use Google caller ID.
[Moto X Themes and Apps] billyx1:
