I have to make phone calls all day long. To make a call I always pull up the dialer and dial people using T9. When I get to the contact I want it does not give all the contacts phone numbers and it just decides which number to call and it usually is not choose the number I want to dial. Anyone know how to over come this horrible flawed software
Stock patched Google Dialer v15. Search for it here on XDA. Also install Google Contacts app from Play Store. After that you can disable LG's phone dialer and contacts by disabling "Contacts.apk" using LG package manager (paid) or using PC and ADB shell.
I'm surprised anyone uses a stock dialer. I'm accustomed to using, e.g. TrueCaller. There are many replacement dialers that add more features.

Why surprised? I don't use the phone for work or business, and only call the same few friends and family members, so stock dialer is fine.
I'm using an older version of the Google Phone dialer app, which was the last one that I could get to install without any compatibility issues and all features working. It was noted in a thread in this forum, I think, or it was linked from that rather popular article about turning your V30 into a Pixel. No visual voicemail tab unfortunately but place search works (which I used a lot).

Is your phone rooted? I installed LG Package Disabler on my stock V30. After installing Google Dialer and making it default, I tried to disable Contacts. apk with package disabler. There is no save button in the menu. When I exited the app, and reopened it, the check marks were gone and Contacts was not disabled. What simple step am I missing? Does your phone have to be rooted?

Requires Xposed Framework!
This module forces Google Search to show over a lockscreen. This does not include GEL since that's a security risk in a way (use App Settings if you believe otherwise).
This module also fixes Google Voice Search failing when launched while the screen is off (using the Pebble smartwatch in my case).
Compatibility:
Jelly Bean or any other means of having the new Google Search.
Source:
The mod is open source: https://github.com/MohammadAG/Xposed-Secure-Google-Search
You may NOT distribute this app on the Play Store, paid or free.

Yes, Xposed reports an error of incorrect name after hitting Download. You are missing the "r" in the word "search" for the package name.

Just gave that a shot! The issue with starting is still persisting though. I have to open google search once (It'll play both the starting recording sound and then immediately after the recording cancel sound), then press back (App is unresponsive) and then open it again and it works as intended.

Yeah, I was aiming to fix that (and I have, but I guess it's a timing issue).
Does it happen when you launch Google Search with the screen off or on the lockscreen? I only handle it for the former since that's when it happens for me.
I tried with no luck getting this work using tasker to launch the voice activity when i plugged in my charger over my pattern lock screen. am I missing something?
EDIT: Missed the part about xposed app settings needed. Problem solved thanks!!
This is working pretty good for me.
I am waking the device using Secure Settings and then launching Google Search.
Would it be possible create another module similar to this but for Google Maps?

I cannot get this working, using nexus 5 on stock 4.4.2 rooted, I installed, activated in Xposed and reboot. I have app settings installed, am I supposed to put "show when locked" on for the secure google voice search app or on the actual google search app? I assume if I put on the actual google search app the whole launcher will show on the lockscreen which I do not really want for obvious reasons. Please help!

I read the first post again and I think I misintepreted what it meant the first time I read it. It says it does not include GEL, I thought that meant it does not include GEL meaning it will not install GEL (google experience launcher). I think it means it does not work if your phone uses GEL (which the Nexus 5 does) as it would put the entire launcher on the lockscreen. Seems we cannot use on Nexus 5 or any other device that has the GEL installed. Too bad :crying:

Ah. Thanks. I interpreted it as it would not work if GEL was your launcher. Since I use an alternative (Nova), I was hopeful. Looks like the integration into GEL is too deep on the Nexus 5 so this tweak is out. Too bad. Would love to have this. Thanks for the reply.

Nothing would show up on your lockscreen just by installing this, its a module for Xposed that allows Google Search to open while your screen is locked, without having to unlock it first.
I'm trying to use this on a Galaxy S3 to have Voice Search behave the same as the S-Voice defaults and open through the lockscreen on home button double-tap.
It will open Voice Search through the lockscreen, but the mic doesnt stay on to listen for your input. Any suggestions?
I've also tried to figure out a way in Tasker but cant get it right.
I know there's an app called "Home2Shortcut"...but thats not a very elegant workaround.
I am looking for a way to use it with the s-view cover. I managed to set up Google Now and get rid of s-voice. But now it will activate Google Now and after a couple seconds I lose connection, because s-view cover has a very short time out and that's not changeable..

Hi guys,
I have Amlogic S812 streamer Xtreamer Wonder and it's running on 4.4.2 Android.
In the Settings menu there is no possibility (no menu at all) to add another Google account in addition to the one that was created initially. As a result all Google apps such Play Market, Gmail, Drive etc, working with one and only account without ability to switch to another one if needed. It's especially limiting with Paid apps which was bought under different accounts...
I tried to search all over the internet for the similar issue, but surprisingly did not found any ...
All the rest functionality is as usual, I also have root, thanks to the Rooting Guide by C3C076
Any help is very appreciated!
This is how Settings menu looks like :
Unfortunately, this firmware disable this feature.
So, to change google account, you have to use adb tool and remove /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db file (if box is root) and add another account.
If box isn't root, you have to factory reset this box to add new account

Thanks for your answer water275, but is what you mean is just removing existing and adding a new one, but there still will be only one account ?
I tried to use few different apps which can manage existing accounts and I had there the option to remove account, but not to add. So in order to remove i think i can use this way, instead of adb. But what about to have multiple accounts? Absolutely impossible ?
What is interesting is that those account management apps allowed me to go into sync options for existing accounts. So it looks like the Xtreamer just hiding required functionality (menus) and not completely removed them. I was thinking in direction of xml files which are responsible for menu layouts, but i have not too much knowledge with them...
You can use Gmail. When you slide left panel in, there's an arrow next to your profile name. When you expand it you will see "Manage accounts" menu option.
Alternatively you can use my simple app (attached) I created for this purpose.

Sorry, you are right. I got confused because of launching that app on my phone which runs lollipop. It unfortunately behaves differently on KitKat.
I'll try your app on my android stick in car, there is also 4.4.2 just to compare, but as i said earlier even that menu that your app shows is not available from the usual settings menu, so it seems like Xtreamer just hiding these menus for some reasons.

For some reason on my Android stick in the car your app can't be installed. I have Install and Cancel buttons, but Install not clickable. I'll try similar app from the store later.
Found solution !
The reason is that Xtreamer installed custom Gmail app that is not asking for update and installed as a system app (you can't uninstall it in usual way). This app have no option to add/manage account as I shown on the screenshots above.
Thanks to ROOT i was able to remove that app completely from /system/apps , and installed official Gmail app from the store. In the official app there is full managing functionality for accounts and i was able to add multiple gmails there.
I highly recommend to uninstall pre-installed Drive and Youtube apps too.
In the general settings menu of Android there is still no manage account section, but at least I can get there through Gmail now.
Thanks to everybody for your help !
Hi Everyone.
I just purchased a Verizon LG V30 VS996 and I have been installing all of my apps and setting up phone.
Last night I removed a bunch of apps using ADB that I thought were not needed (im sure most were not), but I realized this morning I have no contacts in Google Contacts. I deleted the built in contacts app last night. I cant add any contacts, when I try to it says No App was found to handle this function.
Does anyone have the Stock contacts or dialer apk from LG so I can reinstall it and have access to all my contacts again.
I prefer not to factory reset and set everything up from scratch again.
Thanks,
Ben

So what have I accidentally uninstalled through ADB that may have caused my contacts to disappear and not be able to add any new contacts in ?

No idea. You shouldn't delete things without knowing what they are. Contacts app is exactly that. A contacts app, plus dialer. Contacts aren't stored in any dialer.
Did you delete Contacts Storage? Any sync or cloud service apps? Any Google services?
Try a factory reset.

I believe I deleted something called cloud, but the icon was red leading me to believe it was Verizon bloat and not something necessary. Didn't delete anything Google and don't think any thing with the sync related.
If you had disabled it with package disabler, you could simply re-enable it. Deleting with ADB doesn't really accomplish anything. It doesn't give you more space to use. You only have access to the user partition to install/store data. Those apps removed via ADB are in the system partition.
So, disabling with package disabler or using ADB has the same effect for a non-rooted user -- EXCEPT when you need to add something back you messed up your phone by deleting... in that case, simply disabled wins every time as it's an easy fix.
I haven't disabled anything on my V30+ and my phone runs fast. But then I have the open market LG US998, which has no carrier bloatware.

It's a package disable. It disables packages (ie apps). Have you never went into the settings and disabled an app before? Because that's what it does.

What @partylikeaninjastar said. The "package disabler" (app disabler) disables apps. The difference is it lets you also disable SYSTEM APPS which non-rooted users can't easily do. Carriers like Verizon often make their bloatware be "system" apps so they can't easily be disabled like user apps.
But the danger is there are essential or at least quite useful apps you should not disable. And they are NOT classified as "essential" or "useful". They are just all there. LGSetup Wizard controls Always on Display. It's not just for "setup". Stuff like that.
say, sprint s9 here, has anyone been able to get the smart call spam caller id working on a carrier branded phone ?? the unlocked has this option available. i had it on my branded s7 and it was a nice feature.

i found under apps system apps smartcall, phone and contacts permission off, not sure what this alone would do
does a shortcut to com.android.phone.com/com.android.phone.smartcall.SmartCallSettings need to be created somehow ??
any information or feedback would be great. debating just installing hiya and calling it a day.
Smart Call
I used the app Shortcut Master to Launch com.android.phone.smartcall.SmartCallSettings, it opens the dialog and you can enable the setting. You can also launch perms dialogs with com.samsung.android.smartcallprovider.ui.PermissionDialogActivity
There is also another toggle you can launch com.android.phone.smartcall.WhoWhoServiceSettingActivity - not sure what this is.
In any case, even using these settings / checking system app Smart Call, I was not able to turn on the feature.
Along with switching on smart call, I also installed the attached app. Make sure to open the app at least once to give the app permissions. You may need to restart your phone after installing the app.

Well, worst case it won't work. I'll install it later and see what happens. I haven't gotten any junk calls for several days, so I'm probably due to get a bunch of them.
Edit: Well, I tried it, but no joy. The app started up, asked for permissions, but then just sat there with a spinning circle. Doesn't appear it's going to load.
I was wondering if anyone with the Find N can test to see if they can change the default apps and see if it sticks?
I always use Google Messages and Dialler and was hoping I was able to change them as have it stick. I know the issues with the Launcher and I am concerned that it will be the same with these other apps.
On a side note has anyone been able to get Android Auto to work?
What would the dab command be to set the default sms ?

So here's the deal, don't remove the default messaging app or replace it with Google messages. It won't work the way you think it will. I was able to remove the default messaging app via adb. You'll be able to set the Google messaging app to default. The issue is, every time you get a text, you'll get a pop-up saying something like "your default messaging app was changed back due to security". It'll do this every time you get a new text.

Yes. I gave up. Using oppos now.
Ah that is not great, does it allow RCS messaging at all? That may be a deal breaker for me!
There IS an option but only for heytap users only...
I received mine and the limitations are too great. The hardware is awesome, but is ruined by horrible software that is locked down so strictly. The messaging and Android Auto issues were the things that made the decision easy.
If this ever gets a International release I will be all over it, but unfortunately I cannot handle the limits.
