Google Dialer which Firmware Region? - Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers

Hello,
can anybody tell me in which customized firmware region I have the google dialer instead the sony dialer?
I am on Customized EU (actual 55.0.A.10.26 Android 9) and have the sony one.
Or do the new Android 10 update convert the dialer to the google one?
Thanks,
Horwarth

Not sure but you can download direct from Play Store once you get Android 10 update and set as default. You can't uninstall the Sony dialer which would be fine if it allowed dark theme but it doesn't.

I'm on Android 10 with customized NOBA firmware, and it still has the Sony dialer by default.
I downloaded Google Contacts from the Play Store and Google Phone from APKMirror and I use those as my default contacts/phone apps.

Ok, thanks for this information. To sideload the google phone apk is my solution nr. 2
On the Sony Talk Forum a Mod mentioned, that there is one official customized firmware version with google phone and google contacts preinstalled.
I am going to find this one

I got an answer from an Sony mod in another forum, and he told me that the google dialer is pre-installed in the vodafone customization:
1319-5068 Vodafone LC Not Net Locked
Do you guys know, if it is possible to flash this on my device?
I am from Austria, have a unlocked customized-EU firmware, so what are the disadvantages if I flash this customized vodafone firmware?
Thanks

you maybe will see some vodaphone branding with the start up, so what's the point of have Google dailer pre installed you can easy download at the store!
I switch always through some roms never had problems with flashing them ther are no disadvantages besides have some other bloatware or u have to download the internet settings which is no big deal.

Thanks, yes with Android 9 the Google phone app was not compatible.
I got OTA 10 today, now I got it from playstore, thx.
Only problem is that the missed calls icon does not go away, but this ok until fix from Google is coming

[Q]Stock ICS roms and languages

Hi all,
As you can see here, there is unfortunately no ICS stock on sammobile.com for the french version.
However, there is one for UK version (and others). Obviously those versions have multiple languages, including mine.
So do you know why there are localized versions ? Are they mandatory ? (or could i simply take one from a neighboor country?)
Thanks all
You can surely flash UK version or Italian as well and when Installing choose Your own language.
I'm from Finland and my rom is originally Italian, no problems with language issue.

Try samsung-updates com
samsung-updates com has many Stock ROMS from various countries, which you can filter by device type. Unfortunately, I have been unable to download any from there since yesterday, as the download fails after a couple of hours.
If you can select the language you want using any country's ROM then I guess the country code just affects Samsungs OTA rollouts and which extra Apps come pre-installed and how they are configured.
Edit: I just installed the USA 4.04 Rom (XAB) on my Canadian (XAC) Tab. Since my Samsung account is registered to a Canadian Tab, Samsung Apps gives me an error if I try to sign in there, but otherwise it works. I'll put the XAC Rom on when I finally manage to download it.

Thanks for your answer !

In great need of assistance

Hello,
I own a Huawei Honor 5x (KIW-AL10) and it seems to be the chinese version.
The problem is i cannot sync contacts or get google apps by default. It's really annoying. Plus some chinese words here and there, even if the language is set to english.
My question is : how safe would be flashing a stock ROM, but for a different version of the phone (USA, Europe).
Has anyone did this before ? And if so, what ROM and where to download it from ? I would like to receive Marshallow update too.
Thank you

Unreleased ROM for my region

So I have ordered my Pocophone F1 a few days ago and found that you can install google camera on it, but the most updated one needs a certain ROM version or higher to be able to use it, so I went searching on xiaomi forums and found that, that specific rom version Global Stable ROM V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI i'snt released in my country Kindly Note- This update V10.1.3.0.PEJMIFI not released to SOUTH KOREA & PORTUGUESE so this is where my questions surge...
Is there any way that this update shows up OTA, like per example, if I change my region, will it make the update show on the ota update app?
If not, can I flash it and will I still get OTA updates ?
Why is the ROM not released in my region ?
And can me getting this ROM on my phone affect anything ? Like data connection, language or apps ?
Thank you!

Oppo Find X with CPH1871TW_11_A.12 Global Version or not?

Hi Guys,
I owned my Oppo Find X some months ago. Through a webshop in switzerland.
It was titled as Oppo Find X 128GB Global. I payed like 200$ more for that global version.
As I unpacked it, I saw that there was a transparent case inside, just like in the Chinese Versions. According to my information, i thought the global version has no case supplied.
And also the american standard of the charger was inside and a little adapter for europe.
I started the phone and saw the casual Google setup, same like every other Android. Everything was working, Google Assistant, Google Play so I didn't thought about global or not. There were just 2 chinese Apps installed (some Social Network), I deleted them.
Some days later I noticed, that I'm not receiving Notifications from all apps. So I wanted to add some apps more for background activity (as I had read the global version should support 9 apps at once) but after 5 it told me with a message that there could only be set 5 apps.
I started reading more threads about it and saw that there is an CPH1871EX version (europe?) which should be the global version and mine looks like to be the taiwan version. I was also stuck on ColorOS v5.1 and there was no update shown on v5.2 until yesterday where I used a VPN to connect to taiwan, then I received the v5.2.
So my question, have I been fooled? Did I got an chinese Version with installed google apps?
Do I have now to connect to taiwan, everytime I want to check for an OS update?
Is there a way to switch to EX, does it even matter?
What does the A.12 on the end mean, and why didn't I got directly the A29(which is the newest I think)
Oh and a total different question, do we know if every Find X will get ColorOS 6, or just chinese?
Thanks in advance for your support

Hi. I have CPH1875, when we will have Pie?
I do think you got the global version but it was specific to Taiwan for some reason. I have the Australian version and it came with a case so I don't think that's an issue. I also have the 5 startup app limit. CPH1875EX.

Cant install country specific apps

I have a Note 8 (N950FXXU7DSJ1) which I purchased in Saudi Arabia.
I am now living in Philippines and having trouble installing country or region specific apps like Gcash and Angkas. Every time I have to download the apk and install it from the file browser. Whenever there is a new version I have to find the new apk and repeat the process. Its annoying and sometime buggy.
I would like to be able to install aps limited to South East Asia region and to Europe (Croatia) where I am from. What can I do to open the phone to be able to install these apps via Google Playstore?
