Question Can I use 'Google Phone' app on my PRO-I ? - Sony Xperia Pro-I

Greetings! noob here.
Just got my new phone PRO-I (android 12), but really want to use Google Phone app on it.
So I install Google Phone in Playstore, set it as default phone app.
open app / make phonecalls / edit / settings all works well, but if there's a incoming call, my phone just rings and nothing pop up so no way to pick up the phonecall.
I try to disable the system default phone app (com.sonymobile.android.dialer), but nothing changes.
Seems that system needs some other modules, Google Dialer Framework Libary or something else?
So is there anyway I can use Google Dialer?
Have a nice day!

Google Phone and Text App both were implemented as the default apps in Xperia 1 mk2 onward so you should have them by default already.... no need to install G.Phone app from Play store

[Q] Please help turn off popups with lollipop

Hello,
I am on a paging notification system that needs to wake me as it usually goes off at 2 or 4 AM. I set my sound for a long loud song that will wake even me should it go off. However I get a popup with lollipop of the text message. This popup stops the MP3 from playing the moment it comes up. When I clear the popup the song continues which does me no good.
How do I disable the popup.
In the setting for the system you are using is there a disablbe popup box. What app afe you using
Hello,
I'm using google Messenger for texting but even if I uninstall it and use the default android Messaging, I still get the same pop up. Under Messaging (default texting app - no others installed yet) = Notifications - all boxes are unchecked and I still get the popup. I'm pretty sure this is only since Lollipop (official from Verizon).
I didnt have that prob when i used it. Go to your app manager and go thru the running apps an see if there is anything that u didnt install running in the background if not there then check all apps it maybe some bloatware hidden in your apps

So you have lollipop installed and when you receive texts you don't get the popup?
Exactly and make sure popup is disable in the notification settings for your msg
You are correct! It was dragon causing the issue!
Coo was it something you downloaded or did it download on it own

I installed the latest dragon right after getting Lollipop. I was really hoping voice dial would be more accurate with lollipop but it is just as bad as before. Dragon is about 90% accurate whereas voice dial via android native is at best 60% accurate for me. Strangely voice command on my old MS Windows 6? about a decade was more accurate than dragon IMHO. FYI I'm not from another country and I don't have a southern twang or a lisp. Android voice dial and the lack of customization for incoming texts by person are its two biggest weaknesses as far as my needs go.

Change Stock Dialer

Been trying to change the stock dialer to True Phone and keep getting sent up blind alleys and going round in cirlcles. Been into Apps - Conigure Apps - Default Apps - Phone App, changed it and the phone still dials out through stock and lists 'no defaults set' in the True Phone app, despite it being listed as the default dialer under Default Apps.
Also, while listed as 'phone' in the app drawer, there is no listing under 'phone' in the app list for the stock dialer, including system apps.
Also tried changing default at app level but settings are greyed out.
Am I missing something obvious here?
Yeah, I'm not sure if there's anything you can do. BTW, as for the phone app, they are in /system/priv-app/LGTeleService, LGTelephony Provider, LGTelecom. Chances are you can't make calls without those tho?

Love this phone but this dialer is horrible. Any suggestions on a fix

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?

can I use google phone on A5 2017 canada

Hello I found an article that claims I can use Google phone as the default phone app on my galaxy at 2017 sma520w. I downloaded that APK and enabled unknown sources. Installed and clicked done. Then I went to settings app default apps and set phone default to Google phone. I then went to the settings app looked for Google phone to set permissions and it's not listed there. If I go to app show system app it's shown there and it says no default set. Once again when I go to default app Page phone is shown as Google phone the default. If I open Google phone go to settings and call it opens Samsung phone. If I use one of my contacts through Google phone it asks me what app I want to use to make the call but the only options are Skype and Samsung
I recently was upgraded from the SM-A520W to a SM-A530W myself. From personal experience with the A5, it has some limitations on the Canadian Network's unfortunately. Closest I was able to successfully install alongside the Samsung programming was Google Contact's. Mind you I was also not really chasing every available "app download" site outside of Google Play.
Based on your post, it went quite different than what I am used to used to seeing as I side load on to our big screen TV from Samsung & a Telus "knockoff" of snow Android TV box both.
1st I would recommend downloading the app "X-plore" from Play Store. Powerful yet simple to use as it had 2 screen's (just for those unaware) while not being loaded with ad's. Reason being is that it can do a search of your device & has a feature to look at the HASH Tag without a purchase. Okay that may not be as useful unless you have a copy of what that should be, but it does help still.
2nd thing is it can install a app for you without needing to wonder where it disappeared to. Many of my side loads show on the next screen after being installed, whatever permission they want while staying put instead of chasing it around.
Your aware that on the A5 that Samsung put the "Messages" app as both TEXT & PHONE right? That could be tripping you up on the final step of setting s nee default...

[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone

[GUIDE] Getting notifications back after GMS install hack on Huawei phone
This is the method that I used to get notifications back on my P40Pro+ after a GMS hack install. I am not saying it will work for everyone and indeed if you need Google location tools on all the time, dont follow this but if your not too worried, then have a read. It has been taken from other guides out there and a little bit of my own for testing. It can be reversed and backed out of it you dont like it but as I keep getting questions on Facebook about how I done it, I thought I would share it with you too.
In this method you will need :
Huawei multitool V8 from here
Push Notification Tester from Playstore here or wherever you get your apps from
Disabling GSF
Disable Google Services Framework (GSF) using Huawei Multitool v8.
Using this tool on a Windows PC, you will find a section in the Modifications section for disabling apps on a adb connected phone to the app. Connect your phone and select show system apps and look for 'com.google.android.gsf' and select 'disable'.
See image below attached 'Multitool V8 Disabled app'
I disable (GSF) using this as it is easier for me than to use icebox or other freezer apps.
To test notifications are now working
Once disabled check that you can now receive notifications by opening Push Notification Tester installed from Playstore before starting this, will allow you to test notifications. With GSF disabled, they should now work as they should. See attached screen shots below 1-4.
Another way to test them is to just send your self an email. Just make sure you have notifications set in the setting menu first. You can try the notification tester in Outlook but does time out a lot but perseverance can prove it works but an email to your self is just as good. See screen shots 6 and 7 for where this is in the outlook help pages. Screenshot 8 shows Outlook notifications working.
The reason this works I believe is that most apps relying on GMS, their notifications work through GSF and with the GMS hack, they can't, so by disabling GSF, they can use their own default route again, through themselves.
The downside is that with GSF disabled, Google Playstore no longer works and also Google location history, there may be more but it has no real affect unless you rely on them (I dont). Maps still work with directions, Waze too but not your history or phone location via Google. Find you phone via Huawei still works obviously, so you still have other options. Of course, you can use Aurora Playstore instead or any other playstore option and if you have paid apps through Googles Playstore, then you can go to GSF in settings/apps on your phone and enable GSF (see screen shot 5 below) or via the Multi tool V8 again, download your paid app update etc and then disable it via multitool v8 after to get notifications back.
Thanks for the guide, wierd issue for me. Once my phone is conencted, and i disable the service via the Multi Tool, i still have access to the Playstore.
Going to apps -> system prcoesses, it doesnt have the disabled text next to the process. if i click on it, it says "Enable" and "Force Stop". Which initially leads me to think this has been disabled. Then once i go to Push Notification Tester, it fails on step 3 - Register for Push Notifications.
You should not have Playstore access. You dont have any work accounts installed? They have 2 gsf's etc. I would use the muti tool to check for disabled apps. It should show gsf.
May be re do?
I am able to enable and use Playstore, then disable it again to get notifications back at will, so you should too.

I think I know the issue. I have installed GSM the old way (which used to work). If you look at the start of this video he shows two devices ( both with GSM) one which fails the notification tester app, and one which passes. He then uses the icebox method to grt notifications on the phone which passes the tests
https://youtu.be/A4889MUA9EQ
I think I may have to factory reset and use this new method ??
Good luck and if you do, please let us know what method is currently working.
Can you please check for me, if it's possible to install the game jw alive with this method? Offer 5€ via Paypal for this. Just write your Email via PM

As of today, i can confirm that this method works for notifications, just make sure to restart your device after disabling / enabling.
As for the push notifications, gmail not working for me, outlook works. other apps works too, but from time to time it doesnt push properly, maybe battery optimisation or something i dont know. any idea for this issue?
anyone have any updates on this? I too have the problem - random notifications come in (usually a bunch coupled together)....Trying to figure out a real solution. Any one have any luck?

@Sathelp -> When you say this at the previous quote message, you really can tell that I can disabled and then enable GSF to receive notifications and then use Play Store ?? Right ??
Will have message issues that "Google requires an action ... etc" and I must reinstall all GMS if I enable GSF again ??
My guide was based on A10 at launch. I used the G app with a back date to get my GMS before it was blocked. Using that at the time worked fine. Disable GMS using adb command enabled notifications as they worked through HMS. I just enabled GMS to run playstore, get and update apps and then disable it for normal use.
As I have not downgraded or used googlefyer etc, I can't say how it will work with these newer methods.
The idea of the workaround to deactivate GSF for receiving push notifications emerged in April or Mai 2020. Over half a year has passed now... Maybe there is a better solution now to have GSF activated and get all push notifications? It would still be great to have a working play store and the notifications!
Any progress in that matter? Any new ideas?

We're looking for something at this thread, we can keep GSF unfrozen and get push notificacions ... but after 12 hours Play Protect errors started to appear.
There are at least two users that they haven't this issue and all it works fine ...
How to get notification without freezing GSF
Below is a third version of the guide (ok, it's 3.5). As of January, 15th I've added great finding by @Seresseran1. Thanks man! The below guide will provide you with fully working Google services, play store will work, push notifications will...
forum.xda-developers.com
This sounds great, thx
And because this doesn't work on all devices yet:
Maybe another possible solution could be to let the desired apps only *think* that GSF is not available. So that they try using their own default route again...
But hot could that be accomplished. Maybe via App Cloner?
