[Q] Setting Google Voice as Default Messaging App

Hello all!
I've messed with Android a bit on my old Touch Pro 2, but I am definitely new to configuring it. What I want to do is set Google Voice as my default messaging program (so I can have everything going through it).
I tried doing it with the stock launcher (TouchWiz) and I also installed Launcher Pro to no avail.
I figure the setting should be in:
Settings
-Applications
--Manage Applications
---Show all
----Messaging
-----Clear Default
Unfortunately the Clear Default button is grayed out so I am unable to actually do anything there.
Anyone know how to do this or have any ideas?
(Yes I will be rooting/custom rom installing soon!)
Thanks!
Edit: I do have Google Voice installed and it works fine for voice calling.

When I click message button in contacts, it asks whether I want to use 1) messaging or 2) google voice. I can also choose one as the default from there.
I haven't pull the trigger to make google voice as my default message app yet.

Aryamod 7.2 problems

I have 2 problems with the ROM that I can't find a fix for:
1) I can't open the action memo. I press it and nothing happens. If I manually go in s note and acces the memos from there it closes the app as well, all of a sudden without any error or notice message.
I can write the memos from the air command but the little pin button that makes the notes into little widgets on the screen is also gone. I just reflashed the ROM again and the problem persists.
2)This is more of a question then a problem. In lockscreen or when I pull down the notification there are those informations about the phone, model number battery and so on. Is there anyway I can turn that off?
Many thanks in advance!

you didnt find answer in the ROM thread?

Google dialer with OOS?

Has anyone managed to get Google dialer working in their OP5? I've installed TWRP and tried following the guide to install it on the OP3, but with no luck. It says installation successful when I install the framework in TWRP, but the APK installation fails and says my device isn't compatible.
I'm thinking I may have to delete some system apps to make room, I e deleted the Easter egg and some wallpaper. Still no joy.

Google Dialer + Caller ID on OP5
Hi Guys, I would also really appreciate to have the Google Dialer on my OP5 because of the enhanced Caller ID feature. Is anyone able to port it?
Kind regards

There's a v7.0 of the Google Phone 7.0 APK here http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...61421-nonnexus-android-apk-download/download/
I installed it and it works.

If you want full functionality, like spam blocking and reporting, and an up to date app, you need to have TWRP and flash this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=3907762&d=1476815806 (Google Dialer Framework Support)
and then use APK mirror to download and install the newest official Google Phone APK.
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/
Then freeze the default Dialer app, and set the Google one as default.
Been using it since I got the phone.

Why the background of the call is green and not blue as the original?
I have installed the Google Dialer on my OP5 and when I am calling or receiving an incoming call the background of the UI is green...

If you mean this like in my screenshot, I would say its normal?! Or am I wrong?

Yes this was the color... But I have solved it and switched to blue. BTW, Oxygen OS has removed the feature to choose color to each sim card, so I have done it by using Nova launcher features. Found a solution in XDA... If I will find it I will copy and paste the relevant thread here

You can change color by changing color of the SIM card but OOS has removed this feature -_-

OOS has removed this feature but you can also do it
here you are:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/themes/guide-sim-color-changer-oos-t3615913

Yep i just find another guide, instead of Nova Launcher you can install an "Activity launcher" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher and launch com.qualcomm.qti.simsettings.SimSettingsActivity
Just tried it, it works!

They said both of these options work if you install the Magisk version of the Google dialer. It can found posted earlier in this thread.
I did not test them though.

Can someone help me out? I installed Google Dialer v7 form apkmirror and everything works great except I can't answer or decline a phone call from notification. I press answer and nothing happens. I have to go to full call screen and swipe up. Anyone else has this issue? I have phone app set as default and permission to modify settings. I am not rooted. If anyone figured this out I appreciate a response. Thanks.

Yes you have this bug only in notifications mode, not in the full screen phone call. For that, just double tap at the top of the "Answer / Hang Up" buttons (Caller name/picture) and app switch in full mode and you can accept or reject your call

Alternative launcher can't lock screen ?

Hi everyone!
I found this very annoying problem with my LG G6 when I use an alternative launcher and I activate the gesture double tap to lock screen the phone show me a message with write that this option is not allowed !
Nova launcher have a smart solutions like turn the stand by at 5 sec after the double tap ...it's work but not best solution in addition not all launcher have this options...
LG G6 have in stock the options double tap to awake/sleep ... Why launcher can't works with this ?
I really want fix this annoying problem I hope without root ...
Thanks in advance

I don't have root and use Nova and can unlock my phone with a double tab.
Have you made Nova a system administrator?

Well I think no ... If you don't have this problem.. could you please tell me how do this? Thanks in advance

I wish I could, but I've never had this problem - I've used Nova for a few years, starting on my G4 and it has always just allowed the double tap function, and no different on my G6.
I'd start though by going into the Phone Settings screen > Fingerprints and Security > Phone Administrators and enabling Nova Launcher as admin. If that doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.

I tried your solution but now there's another kind of problem if I activate permission I can't unlock the phone with the sensor finger print ! It's unlock only with pin
Do you have the same ?

Do you use free or paid version of Nova Launcher?

I use the pay version but I have the same problem with all alternative launcher tsf shell for example...
I'm really the only one ?

Are you sure it isn't just asking you to unlock with a PIN for the first time?

I found this post, don't know if it will work not using Nova right now Quote: Go to gestures and click double tap to lockscreen and then choose root. It does work. If your having problems or dont have root, choose to set it as an administrator.

I already set like an administrator but it doesn't work ...

No it ask me everytime I lock with double tap

I found another strange thing .... When I lock phone with double tap on status bar all works perfectly..when I lock it doing double tap in other point of screen it doesn't work ...

Only remaining ideas I have then are to clear the data and the cache of Nova, then uninstall it (as well as any other Nova related apps you have like Tesla, Nova Prime etc). Reboot the phone, then reinstall Nova from the Play Store, then (if you have it) reinstall Nova Prime from the Play Store too.
Press the Home button (circle on the bottom of the screen) and when it asks you which launcher you want to use, select Nova and open it to then go through all the settings. Make sure you allow any permissions it asks for, and follow through with the set up. Then, once that's all done, make sure you make Nova an administrator as per my earlier post.
Hopefully that'll work!

Here is workaround for Tasker users:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=73462212

I read on the web that this annoying problem it's made because a security level introduced nougat that not allow to app to lock the screen ...
Anyway thanks to kulvetti now I solved this problem ! The solution using tasker it's perfect!!
Many many thanks!

Give a try to cm launcher and lockscreen. They provide better lockscreen and more customizations.

chinese Headunit Android 9.1

I bought a Chinese HU off of Amazon. I tried contacting the seller and haven't heard back.
Model #DS01P102S01C26
ZYC-9in DaZhong 8227L-A9.1
I'm trying to find firmware for this. It was made for a VW Jetta/Golf/Passat.
I cant find the wiki some others have mentioned in other posts related to the factory settings. I am able to get into factory setting using the 8888 code. I would like to know what each setting does before I start messing with them. Such as the power option, "On" and "Remember last". The radio clock keeps the last time the car was on, not the current time (edit: Fixed clock). I also need to find some information about changing the interface buttons to what I want or using a launcher that can still use the FM Radio.

I installed a couple of launchers to try out. Carwebguru so far is my favorite, but it has its limitations. I can't link native "phone", "radio", or "videos" apks.
I installed Nova Launcher Prime to try and build my own themed launcher but the same thing has happened. Can't find the native apps. I tried creating a widget with the menu and selecting the Nova actions, apps actions, and shortcut actions. I found the phone and etc. apps but when I would tap the icons nothing would happen.
I have tried to install other phone and contact apps ie. Phone by Google and an app called Contacts. The apps opens and my contacts are there, but when I tap on a contact I get an error at the bottoms that says something like "app isn't installed" or "No app to open contact". I am able to make calls using "Hey Google" and telling it to call a contact. Why does carwebguru give the options to use these shortcuts to things it can't use?
I can live without FM radio since I can save a collection of music and stream some.

Try this radio.apk. I used it in FCC launcher and it works on my Pumpkin Single DIN. Speedfire is still working on integrating into his quickplayer in FCC.
Go to this link and look for the posting by Darkow on that page for the APK

I'm going to give it a try when I get off work. I was trying to get Nova launcher to open the radio app, but that didn't happen. I did find the Bluetooth for calls and music though.

How did you get the Bluetooth to work in a launcher. I am missing that functionality.

I used Nova launcher to find the system apk for the Bluetooth. My head unit has Bluetooth music, phone calls, and contacts all in one. I will have to see what it was called. Once I found it in Nova launcher, I was able to locate it in carwebguru in order to add it to the home screen.
Edit: the name of the app was: com.ts.MainU

I bounced back to the standard launcher to get a base idea of what it will do. It has a dialer and phone connection, but it does not seem to be able to use Google contacts as the phone book and launcher. What are you using for a contact list?
