Google Phone (Dialer app) - submitted by [MENTION=4997933]occtec[/MENTION]:

----

Here's a tested & working fix for crashing, blank-screening in-call and permission issues for Google Dialer, downloaded from the PlayStore.

(1) Download app from Play Store

(2) Grant all permissions to the app (Settings->Apps->Phone-> Permissions-> check all)

(3) Uninstall default dialer system app (disable, freeze using titanium or use a debloater)

(4) Reboot

(5) Move downloaded Google Phone to /system (you can use 'system app mover' from play store. Make

sure to download and install busybox prior to using this app, if you havent got it already)

(6) Reboot

(7) Open Settings->Apps->Phone->Phone app-> Phone app again-> Select Phone as default.

DONE.

[MENTION=5061138]androcraze[/MENTION] good to see you made you own thread, very informative and helpful. I hope you dont mind but i posted a fix that you posted back in another thread for the Google Dialer fix, i've just edited it slightly but your fix definitely works. Here's my post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=68580518&postcount=1564

Keep up the good work :good:

Cheers
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Sounds like a "tips" section is in order. I'll make something in Post #3 for now. Thank you for the walkthrough.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] occtec:
Sounds like a good idea :good:
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] MattDN93:
This thread was definitely necessary - one post in another thread wasn't enough to get proper oversight in your work. Thanks for this! Your scripts work great for me, as well as the DeltaDroid Base GApps.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sidlogsin:
Thanks for coming up with this idea.

It would be really great if you can make a script that can delete aosp launcher as well. As in under the name "Extreme"

Just saying. [MENTION=5061138]androcraze[/MENTION] **Cheers**
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
I'd rather include removing the launcher in the "Maximum" version. Do most folks who install the GApps also install the Google launcher?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sidlogsin:
I think giving users an option to keep aosp launcher would be better. Otherwise maximum will have to come with a Big Warning on launcher installation imo.

Really appreciate your prompt reply. :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
I don't like "Extreme"....

"Maximum", "Medium", "Minimum", "M.......m".

"Mayhem".

Is there anything else that can be scrubbed (to be replaced by something else)?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sidlogsin:
Mayhem is cool.

'Magnum' ,If it is ok. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
In firearms nomenclature, "Maximum" is greater than "Magnum"; the .357 Maximum is larger and packs more punch than the .357 Magnum.

I'll stick with Mayhem, and I'll need a walkthrough on installing the Google Launcher.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sidlogsin:
Let me know if I can contribute in anyway.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
"I need a walkthrough on installing the Google Launcher."
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] sidlogsin:
I am afraid to speak beyond my capabilities. But I usually flash in this order :

Rom > Debloater script > Pixel Launcher / Google Launcher package > GApps Package (Delta Droid or Open Gapps , both of them works Ok.)

I face no issues following these steps. I've tried these with Santhosh build as well as other nougat roms.

Can't say about marshmallow roms.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Mattski:
This is so cool, thank you so much!

Used it to remove AOSP Bloatware, from the Nougat AOSP Rom for Nexus 5, and then I had room to install G apps mini over micro. Yay! :)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Changes for 20161015 (All scripts):

Mayhem, Maximum, Medium, Minimum:

- Removed "BasicDreams" from the debloating scripts. It's not wallpaper bloat, and it removes functionality without offering a suitable replacement.

Medium:

- Added removal of AOSP Keyboard (LatinIME) and added suggested link to AnySoftKeyboard. LatinIME has features that are broken (swipe, for one), and AnySoft Keyboard is feature-rich in every way.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Co.Tibi:
[MENTION=5061138]androcraze[/MENTION] is there a way for me to edit the Maximum debloater so that it will not remove the keyboard. Or can you tell me how do I install the google keyboard as a system app. thanks
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Putting the keyboard in the /system partition is difficult due to the libraries involved.

I'm guessing you're running into a chicken-vs-egg scenario, where you can't do anything without the keyboard. You should be debloating AFTER you install the replacement apps, not at first.

You've some options if you can't debloat after:

1. Sideload the keyboard APK with a PC (enable Settings -> Security -> Unknown sources). This VIDEO shows how to do it with a PC and TWRP. This XDA THREAD also has a walk-though using ADB.

2. Modify, or get a debloater that does what you want it to do. I'm sending you a PM.

Sideloading APKs via ADB is so easy.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] Co.Tibi:
I find it difficult to add a different account without a keyboard. I should add the account (user) before debloating... I know it can be done even without a keyboard, but still... I would prefer it if the keyboard would be part of the system apps.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
hello guys.

Im using this asop by Santhosh on nexus 5

i wanted to get rid of stock app messaging notification but i couldn't.I have tried disabling notification in app settings then also tried every possible way to disable notification while goin into phone settings and then apps.

Tried to force stop the app

tried to block any permissions but all in vain.

whenever new sms arrives, pop up of messaging app is bound to show along with default app.

i tried different sms apps like Textra ,chompsms,evolve but stock messaging pop-up always do Pop Up.

is there a way i can delete it or any other way.

someone suggested i can freeze this stock messaging app with titanium backup.Well i did tried titanium backup too and tried to freeze it..it didn't work.

then tried to uninstall it this app with titanium backup and still it didn't work.

then i tried CM14 and again tried with titanium backup same thing..freeze and uninstall but in vain.

so now my question is if i try this deltadroid apps will i be able to get rid of stock messaging app?

btw i must tell that both the times i installed PICO APPS.

is there any other way?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
What GApps do you have installed?

What Stock Apps do you want to remove? Just AOSP Messenger?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
i installed PICO GAPPS both the times and i just have problem with stock aosp messenger.

just want to uninstall it or disable popup notification.

thx for helping
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
If AOSP Messaging is the ***ONLY*** app you want debloated, I'll PM you a link.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
yeah man ONLY aosp app i want to debloat.

i downloaded the file...what next?

should i run it like a script in TWRP recovery
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Yep.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
well i haven't tried this scripts before so i tell you what i did..

rebooted in twrp recovery

clicked on install..

and then choose zip file u gave me

and after reboot i still got 2 POP UPS..one from stock messaging app one from CHOMP sms.which was just like before.

tell me if i did anything wrong.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Your issue isn't AOSP Messaging then.

Use a file manager, and look for:

/system/app/messaging/messaging.apk

or

/system/priv-app/messaging/messaging.apk (you shouldn't see this)

If either aren't there, it's another issue.

You have Google Messenger, Google Hangouts, or some other messaging app installed.

For fun, remove Chomp, go to Contacts, pull-up a friend, and see if you have the option to send a text (should be to the right of their phone number). See what pops up.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
in es file explorer there is no folder named messaging neither in /system/app/ nor in /system/priv-app/.i even enabled to show hidden files.

i havent installed Google Messenger, Google Hangouts ..only chomp sms.

now i just uninstalled chomp sms and when i try to send sms via contacts this msg pops up.

and when i click on reset ,same msg pop ups.if i click on sms same thing happens..
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
That's interesting.

As WhatsApp can send SMS texts, your issue of duplicate notifications falls on either WhatsApp or Chomp.

See if there's a setting in WhatsApp to disable SMS notifications. Could be a bug in Chomp too.

Have you looked at QK SMS?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
whats app have no sms notification and as i mentioned before i even tried Textra sms,evolve sms,imessaing and many more apps but other notification along with Default sms always do pop up.

i haven't tried QK SMS though.

weird thing is its the same SMS pop up with aosp and cm14.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Try just having Chomp without WhatsApp.

Chomp was nice, but I prefer the stock messaging. QK SMS is nice too; both are open source.

Here's something:

http://forums.androidcentral.com/an...help-duplicate-mesages-handcent-chompsms.html

"I think I found out what the issue was...

1. In the ChompSMS or Handcent application, I had Notifications turned on, because I wanted to be notfied as they came in.

2. In addtion to the notifications being on in the appliation, I also had the "Quick Reply & Compose" setting enabled as well.

So, when a txt msg came in, I got the notifications pop-up box on the home screen...AND the Quick Reply box...hence my duplicate messages.

The Fix for Me: I unchecked the Quick Reply & Compose setting in the application. Now I only get the one Notification box when a message comes in. Frankly I would have been happy with just a notification in the notification bar... and the LED flashing. I'm not sure why they wouldnt allow you to just have that.... "

well this fix didn't work.

i installed chomp sms again and disabled notification.

yes notification of chomp sms is disabled but that is not what i wanted.Rather vice versa,i wanted to have chomp sms popup and disable stock messaging.

i guess there is not solution for me yet.

im ready to flash rom from scratch again but im still unsure it is goin to help or not.

but androcraze for helping.

i hope there is any fix.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
I'm confused.... Is it fixed? I'm guessing no.

You keep on saying "stock messaging". You have no "stock messaging". That's been removed. Your duplicates are solely from Chomp.

With the struggling you're doing, I'd look for another app. QK SMS is nice. I'm really happy with the AOSP Messaging app. Signal was nice, but difficult to manage/transfer the messages to another client. SMS is supposed to be simple; some of the feature-laden SMS clients out there destroy the simplicity of texting.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
nope...it aint.

i wanted NO notification for stock messaging but i keep getting POP ups from sms.

it was working fine with marshmallow.but since i installed Nougat 7 aosp and CM14 problem occurs on both the roms.

its very irritating .
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Might be a Nougat issue too.

Too many folks are enamored with Nougat on the N5. It still needs much work.

My MM AlmostVanillaAOSP is pretty basic, but it works ;)
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
sorry for replying late

i just tried QKsms but i still got 2 notifications.

anyhow do u think it could have been issue with PICOGApps i installed?

what would u advice?

should i go with mini GApps or higher version where there is no stock messanger but google messenger.what u think?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
If you only have ***ONE*** SMS app installed, and no matter what app that is, you continue to get duplicate messages, it's probably a ROM issue. I don't know what else it could be.

I'll advise to verify your APN settings. You shouldn't have to set them through your SMS app, only through the Android settings. You could be running into an MMS issue, with conflicting APN info. Dunno.

I don't think it's GApps; GApps usually have little to do with SMS.

My advice:

- do a full wipe, reinstall the ROM.

- don't install GApps yet.

- Try the AOSP Messaging App.... see if it gives duplicates.

- Use the Messaging removal zip I sent.

- Sideload the QK SMS APK from F-Droid.

- See if you get duplicates with QK SMS.

- If all goes well, install the Delta GApps as listed in post #2, following the directions there.

- Install WhatsApp from the PlayStore

- Try sending an SMS, see if you get duplicates.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
thanks for these instructions..this is exactly what i needed.and another thx when u add new lines.although just pressing ENTER doesn't really takes much time but it makes lot of difference.

few questions now.

why u prefered QK SMS?reason i don't want to use is as it don't have blacklist which i needed most.

and STOCK messaging app have very tiny close button of Popups,that is why its so annoying.

which chomp or any other sms service done these job very well.like with chomp sms if i click on DONE ,then its read.

another question is that i also read somewhere that we shouldn't restore apps using other softwares like titanium etc.i saved apks of the programs even chomp sms,so i install them.means there is difference between restoring and installing an app.AM i right?

anyhow

well surely i try to do as u suggested,but after a while as i'm busy for few days and i will update how it goes.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:

I don't prefer QK SMS; I prefer AOSP Messaging. I recommend QK SMS because:

1. It's open source, and the authors embrace the GPL.

2. You can download it from a reliable source (F-Droid) as an APK.

3. It's devoid of ads.

4. It's a messaging app with a solid reputation for reliability and support.

If you like Chomp SMS (and you seem to), then use it. I'm trying to eliminate variables, and adding and subtracting things one at a time is better than throwing everything in at once. QK SMS is based-on AOSP Messaging, and has predictable, expected behavior. Chomp has been proprietary since before the Gingerbread days; it's performance and bugs can vary from device to device, and Android revision.

I don't use backup programs. I install once a month (as ROM security updates release); I'm not constantly flashing and updating. My phone is my daily driver, and I need stability over features. I have a folder on my PC that I can quickly transfer to my Android phone's storage. I update the contents as needed prior to flashing a new ROM. This is a rough listing of the folder contents:

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] iam1simpleguy:
thx for your suggestion.

its funny how i wanted to ask ,how to show directory folder list of PHONE?, as mine seems to have so many folders of previous installations as i wanted to ask you what to delete and what not to ?but u just shared your phones directory list.

i will like to tell you one more thing which i just recall that after only flashing rom and picogapps i checked stock messaging and disabled notification and it worked.it didn't show any notification.then i installed chomp sms and checked many times and it was working fine.

means no double notification ,only single notification from chomp sms.then later on i started installing rest of the apps.

so this time i think i might have to check each time before i install new app to be sure what might be creating conflict with stock messaging app.Maybe whatsapp or maybe telegram.

lets see

i will update you when i install new rom.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thenetvines:
Guys, I installed the latest factory image as of today, and I want a debloating solution that will remove all unnecessary apps so that I can choose if I want them from the Play Store.

Will this work after I installed a factory image?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
The short answer is "no".

The OP lists all of the applications removed, and they're all AOSP apps included with custom AOSP ROMs. These scripts won't remove ANY factory image Google apps.

Instead of a factory ROM, why not just install a custom ROM? You could certainly look at AlmostVanillaAOSP; I've heard the developer has tweaked the ROM enough to make it quite serviceable:

http://xdaforums.com/google-nexus-5/development/rom-almostvanillaaosp-t3477224
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] thenetvines:
Wow, how are you this fast? Thanks very much for the info, I'll go ahead and try the ROM out.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I just wanted to pop in here and mention a little bit of an issue I stumbled across.

If you replace the AOSP keyboard with an alternative which is not Google keyboard and decide to encrypt your phone, the encryption screen will not recognize the third party keyboard. Meaning you'll have no keyboard with which to unlock the encryption screen.

Thankfully I still had USB debugging on and was able to install the AOSP keyboard through ADB.

The longer story is that I'm running your Almost Vanilla AOSP (and by the way, thank you so much for that ROM) without GAPPS. Set myself up, ran the medium debloater, and was thrilled to have all the stuff I don't use cleanly removed. Until I went to encrypt and found myself rather screwed.

Anyways, just wanted to mention that and thank you again for your ROM and scripts. I love them (and my N5) to death. :D
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Thanks for the feedback on this. I use the AnySoft keyboard, but I don't encrypt.

Did you make your alternate keyboard "default" under Settings -> Language & input ? Making the keyboard default is certainly an issue when installing the Google Keyboard.

EDIT: You must install and configure the replacement apps BEFORE running the debloat scripts
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
Mhmm! Did both of those things. For whatever reason the encrypt screen just does not like AnySoft. I haven't tried any other third-party keyboards and have gone back to the AOSP one.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Dunno. I'll do a search and see if anything pops up. Just odd.

What happens if you have both keyboards installed, and have AnySoft set as default. Will the encrypt screen work then?

It might be an issue where the encrypt screen is looking for a keyboard in /system instead of /data.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] :
I think that might be it, honestly.

When I initially reinstalled the AOSP keyboard through ADB (with AnySoft still set as the default from before the reboot), it worked well enough to enter the password. It did hang for a bit though before the keyboard popped up.
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] jonathanjr321:
thanks for you zip i need help please my keyboard and options are missing lol

---------- Post added at 10:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 PM ----------

any one fix keyboards?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Which debloater did you install?

I have in the directions to download the apps you want (to replace), then run the debloater.

An easy fix would be to log into your Gmail account on a PC, then push the GBoard or AnySoft keyboard from the Play Store to your device; you don't have to type a thing, only approve the prompts.

You could also download a keyboard and install via PC using ADB.

Does that help?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
Another option would be to download the GBoard keyboard from here:

https://xdaforums.com/android/software/app-minimal-gapps-gapps-lp-20150107-1-t2997368

Then copy it from a PC directly to storage on the phone via USB, then flash it via TWRP.

[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] ThinnerMetalX:
Does this work also on Oreo ROM?
[Nexus 5 Themes and Apps] androcraze:
It should. The scripts remove AOSP-based apps, and their locations haven't changed under Oreo.

Just run the script AFTER you've installed the apps you're using to replace the AOSP versions.

[Sharp Aquos Crystal] UltimaXtreme:
Latest version is 2.8.7.0. Nothing else has been compiled. Keeping in mind, we didn't achieve root for S7232 until the last couple months, and right now, it can't be publicly linked due to tewilove owning it and no one except tewilove having permission to direct-link it.

At this point, the objective is to get where UberLaggyDarwin got previously, and manage a compile of CyanogenMod over the existing build of 4.4.2 on the device. It still appears to be vague as to whether it's using fastboot or not, it's just inaccessible. Regardless, it should be possible.

ULD got CM12 running on the Aquos Crystal, which would fit for the build of TWRP we have available. Beyond that, we'd need newer unoff builds of TWRP, and more people willing to render CM12.1, CM13, etc. I do wonder what CyanogenMod 13 would be like on the Aquos Crystal... probably poorly optimized :P
