If you read the thread in the link it says that the dialer icon will disappear. There is a workaround in there as well. I presume making a shortcut on the homescreen . . .

I installed on Xdabebbs ROM and can't seem to get it working either...do I need to freeze the LG Dialer?

Doesn't seem to do anything on my CloudyPro
[G2 Themes and Apps] gmannji:
Works on my cloudystock. All you got to do is to do it manually by copying the app in your /system/priv-app directory. Set the permission to 644 (rw-r-r) and restart. Then you got to do like what 60nine said in previous post using nova launcher (don't know about other launchers though) to make it appear in your home screen.

The calling screen still uses the stock LG dialer so i guess you can't disable the stock dialer.

How can I add a shortcut on unlock screen?
[G2 Themes and Apps] krija:
Install this app, run it and add root privilegs: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ccswe.appmanager

1) Scroll down for Google Dialer app and click on it. Check the box and click on Show/Hide icon(s) button.

2) The icon of the google dialer will appear in stock launcher or 3rd party launchers and you can add shortcut to lockscreen too.

I have this dialer working on the latest xdabbeb ROM for VS980. Been using it since the day the apk was made available. Zero issues or crashes.
[G2 Themes and Apps] picaso86:
Work on stock - Rooted G2. If you are using Nova, just create a shortcut using "Activities" and select "Google Dialer" and then "Phone" (first one)
[G2 Themes and Apps] toaom2:
To get it to work properly with no force closes on 4.4.2 I first installed 1.01 from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319196848

Then upgraded to 1.1 from the apk mentioned in the original article. Had to do the described tricks to make it show up where it's supposed to be. In order to make it the "defautl dialer" for incoming calls I turned off the Floating call answer option when another app is open in the phone settings.
[G2 Themes and Apps] mgolder:
Yep, worked just fine for me on stock, rooted with Nova. Had to create the shortcut away from my dock though and then move it to it mind. Bit weird. Also, pressing the bottom left button (presumably for recent calls etc, just closes the app (not a force close as such).
[G2 Themes and Apps] xstahsie:
How did you get yours to work? I have the same ROM from xdabbeb ; however, when I drop the oak into the priv-app folder, changed permission, and reboot nothing happens.

Update: Disregard. I downloaded an app from Google Play called "Activity Launcher" and was able to create the Google Dialer "Phone" shortcut for use on my G2 stock launcher.
[G2 Themes and Apps] mojo6911:
Has anyone figured out how to replace the stock dialer for incoming calls? I replaced it just fine for outgoing, but can't override the G2 default dialer for incoming calls.

[G2 Themes and Apps] skghosh.mail:
That dialer pops up along with the stock dialer. I manually pushed the apk in priv app fodder and face permissions in my ZenFone 5.

I have a question. What if we collected all the necessary apks (dialer, contacts, telephony etc) from stock lollipop and replaced the stock ones with those, with proper permissions of course. Well it work flawlessly then?

Hi Everyone,

Does anyone know how the Comm Manager in the newer roms quickly disables push email? Is this information stored in the registry or is there an API call that it uses? I'd like to program a small app to do this so non-HTC devices can enjoy the quick push enable/disable.

Thanks,

Rk29xx ImageTools V2.1 by wendal (I download it here at 4. (it's without "su" and "Superuser.apk"))

(Alternatively you can use RK3xxx Firmware Tools by SergioPoverony)

First check the "dd.out/backup.img" with a HexEditor to determine whether there is information in it (first 4 characters "RKAF") or only zeros (HEX "FF") what means it is empty...

If there is this information in it, you will perhaps* have the complete ROM in it, which will include the loader and parameter files and you can use "wendal tools" to extract it...

1. Put the "backup.img" into the wendal tools directory and rename it to "wendal.img"

2. Start the "Runme.bat",

Steps for MMC based devices

Thanks for the info. Don't know why it hadn't occur to me to use dd for taking the image.

This works great for MTD based devices but does nothing for MMC based devices.:(

Never fear, I found the answer in an old post from lavero.burgos on repartitioning a Nook tablet.

Turns out if you use the parted from the CM team you can acquire the partition information you need.

Here is a shorthand of the previous instructions as they apply to MMC devices:

Req:

USB Drivers for your device

ADB installed and in your path

Appropriately sized USB cable for your device

microSD card

GNU parted

a rooted device

Prep:

make directory "firmware-img" on SD Card

make directory "tools" on SD Card

copy parted to tools directory on SD Card

Remove SD Card safely from PC

put SD Card into rooted device

Collect Info:

Run the commands below (one per line)

adb shell

su (if not already root user)

cp /mnt/<sd card mount point>/tools/parted /system/bin

cat /proc/partitions

parted /dev/block/mmcblk0

print

make note of the partition number and name for the partitions you wish to dump​

quit

Dumping ROM:

Run dd as defined below each partition you wan to dump, the <partition path> will be /dev/block/mmcblk0p<partition number>.

dd if=<partition path> of=/mnt/<sd card mount point>/firmware-img/<partition name>.img

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Oddly enough, after upgrading to 4.4.3 by flashing the system, radio and boot partitions via fastboot, only 58 of my 130 apps need to be upgraded after a dalvik wipe, or a switch to ART.

This is odd, as a normal dalvik wipe, or runtime switch should trigger all the apps to require upgrading on startup.

Can anyone tell me what's going on? I am not experiencing any issues yet like FCs and what not, but this is still strange none the less.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Does the same thing happen if you delete the files manually and reboot?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Yeah it does. Very strange.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Maybe it's only creating cache for apps that need to run on startup and other apps only create cache when launched
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
I was thinking that too. It doesnt seem to matter, because both ART and DALVIK only compile for the same apps it seems (59 in my case).

Could android be telling it to only compile for certain apps, and skip others? Very strange that this would be the case. Phone feels fine and there are no issues I can see so far.

I am stock, rooted, custom recovery, and thats it. No xposed, no mods, nothing.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Oh, well if your Rom is odex, then it won't need dalvik cache for all apps anyway
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Hmm interesting I guess this could be the answer, but does this also explain why ART fails to compile all the apps?

Currently both ART and Dalvik compile a smaller number of apps than I have installed. The 1st time I switched to ART after the update, it compiled all the apps... then i switched back to dalvik and it compiled 59 of em... then another switch to ART would only cause 59 to be compiled.

Very weird. I think the system is doing this for a reason, but I am not sure which reason that is.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
I can't speak about art. Dalvik-cache contains the information that is otherwise contained in .odex so if. Odex exists, there's no need to build a cache for that app
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Haul:
New in 4.4.3: https://android.googlesource.com/platform/dalvik/+/36e356c

If an .odex file already exists, then Android won't try to build a new file on boot after you switch from ART to Dalvik. Although it's not explicitly mentioned, I'd assume the same handling happens after you clear the Dalvik cache.

Ok, thank you. I just downloaded version 2.0 now, but there seems to be a problem with it. I tried the Check if device connected properly option. First of all, when the CMD opens, it closes automatically before I can read anything, and then I get the prompt "Proceed?". I click "No" but it kept showing up again. I clicked "Yes" and I found it doing all of the other commands one after another and repeated again when it finished, and I couldn't stop it except from Task Manager. Luckily, I didn't have my phone plugged in (which may be the cause of all this :D )

Secondly, It would be great if you had an auto-update feature so that I don't have to go to this thread and download the new version, delete the old one, every time you make an update.
