Google Dialer - Verizon LG G3

Will we be a key to use Google dialer with the G3. It's kit Kat and I thought that was a kit Kat feature..

Yes the google dialer works great. You must be rooted, and manually install the googledialer.apk into System/priv app, set permissions, reboot. Then you must create a shortcut to the app via a launcher (like nova) as the icon will not appear in your app drawer. I'm running it now, works great.

What version are you using? And link if you have one? Thanks

Did you try and disable the stock dialer so you only have the google dialer?

---

No, and do not do that either, it will fail on the lg software. This is the only current method while running the stock rom and will probably be the only method.

Anything special you had to do? I've put the apk in the correct location and changed the permissions and rebooted and using Apex I try to use shortcut and nothing shows up. I just check App Manager and it's listed.
Update: Never mind got it working. Forgot to install.

Wtf, lg pulled the doodle option for writing on pictures! I used the phone
/ Com.android.dialer.dialactsactivity option under nova activities.

So just to confirm, this will only replace outgoing but incoming will use stock correct?

No, it just adds another dialer (with location search - nice) . Your in call action will remain lg.

Thanks. 1 last question...is there a way to turn the dialer into white? or do you have a link to an inverted version?

---

Hey Duck- Does the Google Dialer have the call blocking feature?

No. It's just the interface prior to pressing send (just like any playstore dialer). After that the lgTeleService.apk takes over...

The fundamental settings are still using the LG dialer...
