I extracted the 4.4.3 Google Dialer from the GSM variant of Eclipse v.3.3 Rom to see if it would work on stock as my dialer. To my surprise I found out that I can replace the stock dialer with this one. It also creates a shortcut in the app drawer directly to the new dialer and gets rid of the old one with close to no problems. So use the launcher of your choice, delete that Activity making widget App and get on with your life! This is the closest the stock Moto X has gotten to a full Google Dialer port.
This works on XT1058, XT1056, XT1053, XT1049, XT1060 but has not been confirmed on other variants (Yet. Let me know if this works on yours... I like to watch....) This may work on devices running 4.4.2+
Also, this probably does not activate Google Caller ID...
Prerequisites:
Root (duh)
Write Protection disabled
A root file explorer (I used ES File Explorer.... Just in case you were wondering)
A Moto X :good:
Bugs:
Probably not ART compatible (I don't use it so maybe someone could tell me)
Navigation soft keys may disappear (But I'm using Gravity Box for my keys so who knows...)
Installation:
1. Make a NANDROID!!!
2. Download this .apk file ---> https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9utJpuCI7_EekU4OWtLTzg0dHM/edit?usp=sharing
3. Using a root file explorer: Copy over to system/priv-app and overwrite Dialer.apk (the stock one)((everything is going to be ok, just breathe))
4. Set permissions of the newly copied .apk to rw- r-- r--
5. Click on the .apk and install (not sure if this helps as it gives an "app not installed" message)
6. Reboot
7. Call your mother and tell her thank you for putting up with all your shenanigans over the years

This is the first time I have EVER posted any mods or apps or anything so please be patient with me if any problems come up. And just like your grades in high school, it isn't my fault if YOU screwed this up by not following instructions.
I just installed the apk and it worked. It overwrote my current dialer and replaced it with this. I made a test call but don't know how it'll handle incoming calls. I was having issues with my stock dialer where I'd get force closes when someone called me and I missed it then I clicked their numbers and it would force close. Hopefully this fixed it.

Outgoing/incoming calls work just fine. Slightly changes the in-call ui. Looks like call waiting is working too.

Only thing I see changed is in-call dialer. Hence "slightly".
Edit: the DPI has been shrunk a bit too. Here are screenshots of the in call ui. The first two are the old dialer and the latter are the ones from the the new one.

Doesn't work, force closes with the message...

Seeing the quote chains makes me realize how indecisive I am when writing tutorials
Haha the first post is pretty much how you do it. If you've ever installed this dialer before it's pretty much the same process except for overwriting the old dialer. I just wonder why you ran into FC's.. At any rate I could add your contribution to the op

I think it just says that Google Caller ID is on (for in-call reverse lookup of businesses, Google+ members, etc.) but it actually doesn't work because that feature is handled by Teleservice.apk in the Nexus and GPE roms. Our Teleservice.apk is different and doesn't do that (in fact, it's a pain in the butt to work with) and handles more basic functionality just like any other phone. I have tried to get it to install using different methods but it always blocks calls or FC's the systemui and phone. I'm still looking though!
As for "nearby places" (business search) this works completely as all of those functions are held within the dialer itself.

Restored the app
Lauched google voice. Got to where it said configure inbox then went back back back back to exit
inbox popped right up.

This can also be done using mybackup pro. by backing up the apk and data from a phone that voice is completely set up on. Then copy the folder from /sdcard/rerware/myBackup/allappsBackups to the same location on the tablet then restore voice using mybackup pro on the tablet.
Also if you have a copy of Google voice 0.3 it will install and setup. Then you can update to newest version.

How do you restore with Titanium Backup? I backup my google voice on my phone. It creates 3 files in folder. I copy those files to where?
And then how do I proceed on G Tablet? Do I uninstall Google Voice first or how?
1. uninstall google voice on your tab
2. backup google voice on your phone with titanium backup
3. copy the 3 files from your phones titanium backup folder to your tablets titanium backup folder
4. run titanium backup, go to "backup/restore" select google voice, restore, then App&Data
5. then open gv and do the back,back thing from above

Thanks, that did it. It was ontology of the list Instead of alphabetical order.
Easiest way I found was to remove your old google voice with root explorer and then install Version 0.3 which I found in the first post here
http://www.evo4gforum.net/htc-evo-4g-apps/google-voice-0-3-4-apk-file/
I then did the setup, and it worked. First reboot it needed to be setup again. After that it has stuck.

How do you remove gv with root explorer?
So, I put together a couple of flashable zips for use on a stock phone. I've been using these for a little while now, and feel comfortable enough about them working to share.
Basically it just removes a bunch of stuff that comes pre-installed on your phone, and replaces your stock Sense launcher with either the stock Gingerbread launcher or Go Launcher EX.
I personally like GO the best out of all the launchers available, but until I had this phone I didn't have a piece of hardware capable of using GO to it's fullest. Now that I can, I love it.
Special thanks goes out to:
Undeadk9 for compiling the stock Gingerbread apps from Google.
computerkid23 for letting me use his update-binary file & market version.
*These mods are mostly just working examples. Someone will probably find them useful, I do, but they were primarily posted to support my info thread on edify scripting notes.
*We can see that these actions can be accomplished in a small enough file to be posted to the board as an attachment, yet this also means we rely on the user's stock software being intact.
*If someone has already removed an app, these zips will not replace them. Exception being launcher, calculator, music and if Mod02 then the market as well.
*If something has already been deleted, then it just gets ignored when the script gets to it. It won't throw an error if it tries to delete something that's not there.
On to the description of what's being done:
Here's what's removed:
-Themes, Live wallpapers
-Widgets:
Both tips widgets, all the widgets that don't work when you stop using the sense launcher.
Calculator, calendar, mail, photogrid, photo widget, setup widget and weather widget.
-Following apps:
AppSharing, Adobe Reader, Android Notes, Bejeweled, doubletwist, Flickr, Friendstream, Facebook, Picasa, Netflix, Slacker Radio, Swype, Twitter, Zinio.
-And:
Mail, Media Room, HTC Setup Wizard, Car Home, HTC Music + Enhancer, Google quick search box.
-Also:
T-Mobile TV, Name ID, App-Pack, Mobile Backup, T-Mobile Carbon Backup, Qik (video chat), Tmobile Navigator.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
What's replaced:
-Calculator...broken stock calculator replaced with the gingerbread calculator.
-Music - replaced with the stock gingerbread music app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The only difference between the two flashable zips:
In Mod 01:
-Sense launcher replaced with the stock Gingerbread launcher...keeps the stock market.
In Mod 02:
-Sense launcher replaced with GO Launcher EX, computerkid23 market replaces the stock version.
You still keep the T-Mobile "My account" app, the stock weather app, and a handful of other thngs:
-Calendar, Camera, Clock, Contacts, Flashlight, FM Radio, Gallery, GMail, Messages, Phone, polaris Office, Quick Lookup, Voice recorder and search, Weather, Wifi calling, wifi hotspot and youtube.
All stock TV connection software is still good and ready, as well as the stock browser.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Pre-requisits:
-Stock phone, no custom ROMs
-Clockworkmod 4.0.0.9
-Clockworkmod backup of your phone before flashing this zip
-Backup of any user data, such as phone numbers or notes
-Fully charged battery.
-Download and put in the main directory of your sdcard:
+ Blue6IX_Mod01 -or- Blue6IX_Mod02
To install:
-Un-plug the phone from any chargers or cables
-Reboot to recovery
-Select 'install zip from sdcard'
-Select 'choose zip from sdcard'
-Select 'Blue6IX_Mod01.zip' (( or Mod02 if thats what you downloaded ))
-Select 'Yes - Install Blue6IX_Mod01.zip'
-Press the hardware back button to get back to the main CWM menu
-Select 'reboot system now'
-IMPORTANT LAST STEP:
-Leave the phone alone for 5 minutes after it finishes booting up. Don't play with it or make it do anything, just let it sit and settle.
It's still building the data partition and re-writing your cache memory, if you play with it before this finishes you could get errors down the line. You won't see all this happening, so just be patient and wait a few minutes.
...and that's it. All done.
-ONE LAST NOTE:
* The clockworkmod backup of your data is important, as this installation file will simulate a factory reset during it's execution. This means any data that's on the phone will be wiped clean, so if you don't back it up before you start you will lose it.
Enjoy!
Reserved in case I need it.
Meantime, i'd like to say thank you to all the people working so hard to develop ROMs and software for our phone.
Thanks!

Anyway I thought now Im root Id try to remove and re install. So used root explorer to delete the talk.apk from system/app.
Then I rebooted hoping I would see talk on market - but no. So I downloaded talk from within a gapps addon (someone posted in our forum to use talk from here gapps-gb-20110503-signed) which I did.
However when I try to install, I get 'Application not installed'

The problem is you are on a odexed ROM. I.E the stock ROM, you are trying to flash a deodexed app i.e Google talk, that's not possible. You need to flash my stock ROM, pauls MCR, or Pauls Stock deodexed version. Other wise you are stuck.

I like to know things, just to know how they are done too - so I can appreciate the sentiment of wanting to know even if just for being curious.
I don't like having google talk on my phone either - but you will find that you need it to show certain apps in the google market.
You mentioned you had root explorer, which is awesome. If there was one tool you needed to pay for to really work with your phone on your phone, that is it.
Since I know you can follow along, let's look at what it takes to get rid of Gtalk.
First you have to know what the .apk file is, if it has an .odex file, and where the data directory is. Check my Reference to find that out.
Here is the entry for Google Talk:
Talk
Version: 1.3
983.17KB - /system/app/Talk.apk
/data/data/com.google.android.talk
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So we can see one .apk file, no .odex file, and one data directory.
1 - Kick up root explorer on your phone and go to /system/app and delete Talk.apk
2 - Still in root explorer, navigate to /data/data and find the folder named com.google.android.talk - delete this folder.
3 - Reboot phone into recovery mode. Once in clockworkmod:
4 - Clear cache from the main CWM menu, by selecting 'wipe cache partition' and then saying yes on the next page.
5 - Clear dalvik-cache. From the main CWM menu choose 'advanced' then 'wipe dalvik cache' then 'yes'. After it's done, hit back then 'reboot system now' from the main cwm menu.
That should be it and talk is now removed from your device.
To re-install Talk:
I attached a copy of the stock talk.apk - if you want to re-install it and were having trouble, try it this way:
1 - Download the attachment to this post, get it on your phone.
2 - Open root explorer, find Talk.apk and copy it. Paste it into /system/app
3 - Once Talk.apk is in /system/app, in root explorer long-press on it to get a menu of options. Choose permissions.
4 - Change the permissions to read:
-Owner - Checked boxes = Read + Write
-Group - Checked box = Read
-Others - Checked box = Read
-Bottom row of permissions all unchecked.
After hitting "ok" you should see that the Talk.apk permissions look like all the other files in /system/app, where it says rw-r--r-- under the file name.
5 - Exit root explorer, then reboot your phone into recovery mode.
6 - Clear cache from the main CWM menu, by selecting 'wipe cache partition' and then saying yes on the next page.
7 - Clear dalvik-cache. From the main CWM menu choose 'advanced' then 'wipe dalvik cache' then 'yes'. After it's done, hit back then 'reboot system now' from the main cwm menu.
That's it, you now have Talk re-installed on your phone.

i have a samsung galaxy s (gingerbread 2.3.3) and after doing some tweaking there was a problem with the google search widget. when i open it up it says: the application google search process com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox has stopped. i did manage to find a temporary fix for this by reinstalling the stock apk i found from a website. however every time i reboot the device the message appears again and then i have to reinstall it again to make it work. This is very annoying how can i fix this? is it some kind of autostart issue?Any help would be appreciated

Try making it a system app. Right now its probably installed as an update to the system app, but its better if it remains by itself. This can be done in many ways. You could use Titanium Backup, or simply place the app in /system/app/ (and set the permissions).
dont work

i tryed to copy and paste it using es file explorer but it said that it failed. Any ways even if i do get past that how do i set the permissions ?
Or maybe delete the whole apk with titanium backup or a root explorer, reboot and install it again.
Happened to me with apex launcher and this solved the problem

Titanium Backup - Select the app in the list and choose "integrate update into ROM".
Manual Way - Use Root Explorer, etc. to copy and paste the file in /system/app/. Make sure you mount it as R/W first. Using Root Explorer, long press the file and choose permissions. It should be set to "rw-r--r--".
Reboot after either of these methods.

here it is guys, the newest Gmail 4.2 Reported to be working for Android 4.0+, rooted devices only. If you are having issues with 'waiting to sync', clear app data under settings and try again
Installation Option 1:
uwdus said:
Uninstalled old apk with Titanium -> Reboot -> Installed new Gmail apk with explorer -> Reboot - Done
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installation Option 2:
The Gmail 4.2 APK is signed by Google, but with a different key than the one in the Play Store (we checked the signatures - they differ). One is probably the test key and the other the production key. For this reason, you can't simply install it as an update and therefore need to be rooted with the ability to mount the /system directory for writing in order to remove the existing Gmail APK.
OK, let's get down to it. You'll probably need ADB installed on your computer (here's an easy way that doesn't require downloading the Android SDK). There is a chance that this might work without ADB by just removing the APKs mentioned below and installing the new one, but it didn't seem to work reliably for everyone. This should, though:
1. Download Gmail 4.2 from one of the mirrors above.
2. Rename it to Gmail2.apk.
3. Make a Nandroid backup in case something goes wrong (this is always a good thing to do before messing with your device).
4. Delete (or move if you want to save the APKs) all other versions of Gmail. Usually there are 2 or 3 copies. One will be in /system/app (that's the original Gmail that was pre-installed on the device) and there may be a few in /data/app (these are the updates installed from the Play Store). They'll be called "Gmail.apk," or "com.google.android.gm-[number].apk," An easy way to tell is to look for the Gmail icon.
5. You may need to delete the .odex files matching the APKs in step 4 too, if you have them. Neither I nor Artem had to do this, but there are many different ROMs out there, and we're trying to cover all bases. Ignore this step and only come back to it if something doesn't work later.
6. Reboot. Once you do, you should have no Gmail as far as Android is concerned.
7. You can try to install the Gmail 4.2 APK you downloaded at this point by tapping it in your favorite file explorer (move the APK to your device first, of course). If that doesn't work, or if you prefer ADB, fire up a command line and type adb install Gmail2.apk.
If you get an error message, you probably didn't delete all copies of Gmail. If you don't feel like playing with ADB for Step 7, I've also gotten it to work by just copying the APK to /data/app, but that's not as fool proof as "ADB install".

So you didnt have to go through all the steps outlined in the first post?
If someone can invert this, it would so awesome!
Works fine by doing what Uwdus said, just uninstall the old gmail with titanium backup and then use a root explorer to push the new one to system/app and reboot.
I just renamed the gmail .apk and .odex to .bak and .odex.bak respectively in es explorer, and rebooted. Than I moved the Gmail2.apk to /system/app, fixed permissions, and installed. One more reboot and wala - she was up and running! Thanks for this, very sweet!

It really is most easy to uninstall with titanium backup. Restart device and install new gmail.

yeah wasn't there either in system or user (odd i know)
but i found out the reason i couldn't copy it to the system/app folder was because i apparently didn't have enough space in my system folder (had to give up hellpaper :'-( )

Kind of inverted
Just picked up the semi inverted 4.2 made by TeamBaked. Even though I prefer a full inverted app, I must say the white background in the email is actually easier to read. Anyway, check it out (I would post a link but I am not sure I am allowed to).
And installing was a breeze. As others mentioned, uninstall via TiBackup then install...loving the swipe feature.
This is a leaked version from Android 4.2
There are new features and seems to be working on Android 4.0+
Enjoy! Not my work, I take no credit, just passing it along
Hows everyone liking it? Swipe to delete is great! Any bugs out there?

great, did the same for me, so i used titanium to un-install gmail and then tried to install it, still get an error. Now ti is not restoring my gmail.
Uninstall Gmail with TB.
REBOOT.
Install 4.2 Gmail
I had that same error at first too. You have to Reboot after uninstalling with TB before you install the new one

I personally used root explorer and changed the original gmail apk to Gmail2.bak (yours may either be in system/app or data/app) mine was in data/app because im using AOSP, for stock touchwiz it might be in system/app. For AOSP its probably going to be named com.gmail.apk or something along the lines of that. Anyways after you delete/rename your original one move the 4.2 Gmail2.apk to system/app, set the permissions and reboot. It MUST be in system/app and you have to set the permissions and reboot for it to work

Gotta lock this up,the new app is considered warez. Google doesn't want this being distributed.
