How to install the Nexus 5 GEL dialer on your Moto X [ROOT ONLY] - Moto X General

Haven't tried this myself since I'm not rooted but thought I would pass this along.

I am not rooted. I am on stock 4.4. I installed GEL ( latest version 0.10....) and it works fine BUT it keeps phone awake. So i uninstalled it.

This isn't GEL. This is just the GEL dialer which allows you to search for businesses within the dialer like the Nexus 5.
And yea, you need to be rooted for this to work.

Ops! My bad. I didn't see "dialer"

I installed this on my moto x and it did not change anything from the stock 4.4 dialer.

The appearance isn't going to change. Did you try looking for a business in the search field? And are you sure you aren't hitting the stock phone icon?

Yes I tried searching several businesses. And there is only one phone icon. I placed it in system/priv-app and changed permissions to 0644.

You're supposed to create a shortcut for the new dialer and make that your new phone icon.
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
1. Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
2. Choose "Shortcuts"
3. Select "Activities"
4. Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.

If you're not running a custom launcher like Nova, you can also use this app to create the shortcut:

Okay. I'm using GEL. I will do this in a few and report back. Thanks

No prob. Glad you got it working.

So I installed the APK and added a shortcut Nova Launcher and I can search for businesses and stuff just fine, but when I try to make a call in the dialer it crashes. I downloaded the apk from 2 different mirrors so that isn't the issue. I would try to flash the zip but I don't have the slightest idea how to do that.

Did you follow these steps?
2. Flash the ZIP file in a custom recovery, or copy the APK file directly into /system/priv-app.
3. If you opted to move the APK file manually, you'll need to set the permissions on the APK to 644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell.
4. Reboot your phone.

Well I got it to work somehow. I'm not entirely sure what I did differently this time but oh well.

Do you have root access?
Is there any way around if you don't have root?

Self promotion aside, I created a thread for this a while back. This dialer works flawlessly without the need for nova or an activity launcher.

I havent had any problems with root explorer. Ive used it to move files from dropbox to folders, delete bloatware, create folders for ringtones/notifications that i imported and install a few .apk's. Is there something i'm missing or should keep an eye out for?

i also was able to use it before.. not sure if the update or kernel i'm running now killed it
I was able to install but it removes messaging app from dock. Anyone else with this issue? FYI this mod app LETS you send/receive mms while on wifi
I must not be following the terminal instructions correctly. when I type the cp command line it tells me that cp is not found.

Yeah I'm running a custom touchwiz where you can edit the bottom defaults and the apps. The new Mms.apk does remove the messaging icon, but with the custom touchwiz launcher that I'm using you can put the Mms icon back.

I will post it whenever I get out of class. The only issues I had with this touchwiz launcher is that the google search widget is overally large and the samsung widgets do not load. So I deleted the samsung widgets.

So just the icon in touchwiz gets broken? Everything else works?
The custom touchwiz launcher I had didn't look right. The dock icons were smaller and widgets didn't fit the screen right. Anyone have one that doesn't have these issues

Can anyone with the know how make this into a flash zip for to be used with any ROM? I really want to stay with beanstalk rom
It's a pretty nice feature. It would be great.
I'm very interested, too!
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You know it's funny how people have different preferences. I tried it for about 15 mins and although it looked nice. It just didn't jive well with stuff. Like Facebook. I had to scroll a little slower because I couldn't see what the posts were till the animation was done. And it just didn't fit in certain places. I wish I could turn it on just on specific apps. That would be nice.

dont use the anticipated... interpolation thingy it delays the animations.
on the rom i tried it was fast and didnt take time for the content to show...
Dear members (who had the same aim as me of having those animations)
I've found something that you might wanna try.
**DO A NANDROID BACKUP FIRST**
To get listview and transition animation from android 4.3 (Nexus 7) follow the following steps:
1) Download Xposed Installer apk from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer
2) Install the apk
3) Launch app: select Framework > Install/Update > Soft reboot or Reboot (both works just the same)
4) After reboot, download XuiMod apk from here: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.zst.xposed.xuimod
5) Install the apk
6) Again, launch Xposed Installer app: select Modules > (click on the small box on the left of XuiMod if its not checked with a 'tick' )
7) Then click on XuiMod ( the area beside the checkbox )
OR
Just simply launch XuiMod app
8) ???
9) Profit.
P.S: I don't own or create these mods. make sure go to the respective thread to thank the devs

Help installing other fonts

Not too pleased with the stock font options.
I've tried a couple APKs, resulting in a load of incompatible fonts, and I'm hesitant to try the 3rd party apps and the flashback zips since we're not using full twrp out can.
Any suggestions? What do you use?
Thanks!

Font Installer from Google Play.

You can also install fonts from online and install them using this app. Right now I'm using Roboto Light Condensed. This app works great and is safe.
Doesn't require you to flash zips at all. It installs right from within the application.

Not too shabby, thanks for the share.
Curious why you can't simply add a bunch of fonts that are hot swappable.

Fix for Phone Reboot on Calls

Hey everyone! I'm not sure if this should go in general or here, so if it's in the wrong place, please feel free to move it, Mr. Mods. So there's a pretty common bug that effects people who use the stock OpenGapps package (the one that deletes AOSP dialer and replaces it with the Google Dialer), where the phone will reboot upon making or receiving a call over cellular network. Turns out, this is due to the absence of the AOSP dialer on the system! I managed to fix it by manually adding the AOSP dialer to /system/priv-app and changing permissions via Root Explorer, then rebooting. Got sick of doing it manually, so I made a flashable zip for ya'll! I flashed it as a test and it seems like it works but I haven't done it after an update yet. I'm posting it here in hopes of it helping all ya'll

For Open GApps users (and others using Google Dialer), all you need to do is set Google Dialer as the default phone app. It even says that in the TWRP log when it's flashing. You only need to set it as default once, and that's it.

I'll try it again when I install tonight's Mokee update, and report back. If it works then great! I'd really prefer only having one dialer app anyway hahaha
