[Q] Lollipop dialer - General Questions and Answers

Hello All,
I just updated my gs4 to lollipop 5.0 and think the dialer and contacts screen is god awful. I downloaded a dialer/contacts app from the play store to take care of the stock one but how do I change the incoming call screen?
My phone's not rooted if that helps.

[Q] Lollipop's launcher on Kitkat???

Hey guys, so I have Kitkat 4.4.4 installed on my Nexus 5 (for a lot of reasons, battery is much better, faster, and I love the Kitkat material design better than Lollipop).. But today, Play Store showed me an update for Google's application, so I updated it, and ever since I did that, I have Lollipop's launcher even though I'm using Kitkat o__o, so weird, do you have any information about this guys? (see screenshots).
Thanks

Is it Google Now Launcher? If so the app isn't linked to your Android version.

That's not a Lollipop feature. The Google Now Launcher was available for KitKat devices as well. It might have debuted with the Nexus 5.

It's because Google Now Launcher and Google Now are linked somehow. At first I was also stay on Kitkat and my appdrawer background was transparent. When I install Google Now from 5.0 system dump appdrawer became white.
Regards, Zagor
P.S. There is no Kitkat material design.
Okay guys thanks
I'm a noob when it comes to these stuff so pardon me xD
Is there no way I can get my usual transparent app drawer? I hate the white one.

You can flash 4.4.4 and do not install updates for google apps (launcher, velvet and prebuiltgsmcore for sure) - others maybe (also hangouts no, because it will ask for prebuiltgsmcore to update and than Google+ will fc.. Eh - better no to update any of google apps in that case.

In CM12 there's no tw tweaks, we want aosp dialer on TW.
I found very good alternative of AOSP dialer.
This is much better than stock TW phone app.
Check out "Simpler Dialer - Android L UI"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simpler.dialer
There a lot of Contacts App alternatives but incoming / outgoing call screen doesn't change. TW call screen stays.

Stock messaging app

Hello,my carrier (Rogers) recently pushed the lollipop update however the stock messaging app does not provide heads up notifications so I have to use hangouts in order to get them. Is there a fix for this? I prefer the look of the stock messaging app.
No.. Only if there is some mod for it, you can probably find it. Just google it

Complete replacement of Samsung Dialer

I love the Google Dialer, the way it displays picture is awesome. In front of it, Samsung dialer is ugly.
So, is there any method to completely the Samsung dialer with Google or similar AOSP dialer?
I know there are many apps available in the market which although replaces the contacts and call log screen, but when it comes to dialing the number, it reverts to stock dialer.
I have Note 5 running Moar 2.2.
Any views?

That's the page I used. Works absolutely fine on my sprint note 5 using rooted deodexed stock mm ROM.
Thanks, will try that after upgrading to MM.
Update: Flashed MM Rom and also flashed the Google dialer. Working fine and no FC however, whenever there is incoming call, it is not recognizing the name already stored in the contacts. But, when I look at the log, the names appearing properly.
I have given all the permission to Google dialer and contacts.
Any fix?
Update: Well I flashed the ROM again due to some other issue and after that I flashed the Google dialer zip.
Now all working fine. Thanks all
My kid loves to see her Grandpa's Pics when she or they call
Just wanted to let you know that with Marshmallow we now have the ability to choose the dialer the system uses. I was able to install the Google Dialer apk and set it as default. I'm not rooted and it's working well ☺

BIG caller ID photo

I'm using Google phone on my OG pixel. But the contact photo is too small in call UI. Is there any other phone app with BIG contact photo when in call?
Disable the current phone app and install Google Phone 4.2.136732862 which is the last version of the Google Dialer app with big picture UI.
You can get it here https://www.apkmirror.com/uploads/page/3/?q=google-phone
