Current Stable Version: 11.0.164102751

Current Beta Version: 13.0.170513131 Bubble Edition

Latest Update: 04/10/2017

I have taken the Google Phone APK from APK Mirror and modified it to work on any Marshmallow or newer Android Device. Credit goes to Kolda_CZ for originally doing this.

I CANNOT guarantee that this will work on your device/ROM as Google Phone is built for stock android, issues may arise on your device which I do not have the expertise to debug/fix. Also, please read the Know Issues section below AND search through the thread for previous posts about your issue before posting. Thanks.

If you have a Custom Recovery (e.g. TWRP) please DO NOT use this patched app. Follow the 2nd option in Workarounds section below.

Troubleshooting

Make sure to disable your stock phone app as much as possible and/or remove it's system permissions. (Also 'InCallUI', which is a system app).

If sound during calls does not work after update, reboot device.

@Bacb is posting APKs with a fix for Samsung Devices' Notifications & Force Close issues, follow his posts in the thread replies

Workarounds

Basically, Google Play Services is needed to link up with the app for Spam Caller ID & Nearby Places to work. To make the APK install-able on any device, I have to modify it. To modify it, I have to sign it with my own key. Signing it with my own key causes Google Play Services to force close the app (as it can see it has been modified), so I have to disable the link. This means these features cannot work on a modified APK.

There are only two way to get the features on non-Google devices:

EITHER Get a non-nexus APK from Google which is signed in-house with their key (so the app doesn't force close on launch) Best you're gonna get is this: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/ Version 7.0 with everything working, lacks any changes since 7.0 (basically "Message Why You Called" & PAW mode)

OR Have a custom recovery with flashing capabilities. Flash Google Dialer Support (Framework) then install the latest unmodified Google Phone APK: http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/

Extra Info

I have tested this on my OnePlus 3 running Oxygen OS Beta 25 (Android 8.0).
