Recently NYCMate app creators broke ties with their partner and as a result had to roll back to an older (crappier) version of their app. They promise to build it back up, bigger and better, but for the time being I'm happier with the old product.
I'm a big fan of the "Update All" feature in the market, but if I'm not going to update NYCMate, I'm forced to update every app one-by-one like the old days. Is there a way to have the market ignore updates for one app, and still be able to Update All?
This is for the Android market if I didn't make that clear.
Facebook Messenger has recently added a feature like Instagram Story called Messenger Day, and with their latest update today, they added message reactions (screenshots attached).
I wanted to get rid of both these features, and revert to an earlier version (also attached), so I uninstalled it and reinstalled an older apk I found online.
Although, despite auto updates being disabled from the Play Store, it updates on its own. On digging through permissions, I found that the app has permission to request install packages.
If someone can patch the older version, or provide a link to a patched apk, I'd be grateful, as these added features are extremely annoying.
Thank you.

I do not know if you have already solved it, but there are currently procedures to eliminate what you mention, check the threads please.
I've successfully installed Google Dialer from APK Mirror, it even updates using Play Store (now I'm on version 14.0.176716531) I gave it all permissions, set up as default call app and it works almost flawlessly. Almost, because there is few second ringtone delay on incoming call, maybe 3-4 second. Not really deal breaker for me but annoying thing.
Anyone faced with such problem?
Does your in-call time counter works normally? Mine displays millions of minutes...
Thanks! & Some Help...
Hi Rufik,
That was very helpful. I got -- Google Phone 7.0.140861421-nonnexus (noarch) (nodpi) (Android 6.0+) -- from APKMirror. And it works great on my Huawei Mate 9 (L29) running OEM Android 7.0 from the factory.
One problem with Google Phone 7.0.140861421 is notification bubbles... sometimes they work and sometimes not. Any suggestions to get them to work?
Also, how were you able to get Google Phone 7.0.140861421 to upgrade to 14.0.176716531. I can not get past 7.0.140861421. I have tried newer Google Dialers/Phones and they will not install on my Mate 9. Any suggestions? What versions should I look for? Also, how were you able to get the Play Store OTA upgrade to the Google Phone? I have tried, but no success.
Best Regards,
Jim
Sorry for link, it points to old version 7.
Navigate to newest version 14 nodpi arm64 https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/googl...le-phone-14-0-176716531-android-apk-download/ and install it.
Please let me know if it works fine, especially ringtone possible delay.
@N100GL You can also install v14 version but previous build, like https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-14-0-175904292-release/ and check if you can update from Play Store (do a restart after installation!).
Thanks - But Does Not Work
Thank youd for your quick reply and your help!
No don't be sorry -> Google Phone 7.0.140861421-nonnexus (noarch) (nodpi) (Android 6.0+) -> works just fine. The only issue is that it is old and the bubble alerts.
The other two link you listed above, do not install on my phone (Mate 9 L29 Android 7.0 factory OS). They get all the to the last step of installation and then it says "This app is not compatible with your phone." They start the installation process, and can see the Google Phone 7.0.140861421 already installed, they agree to do an update, but choke in the end.
Now the Google phone apps that I have been able to run on my phone are the "-nonnexus (noarch) (nodpi)" APK files. I have not been able to get any of the (arm64) or (arm) and (nodpi) to run on my phone. There seems to be something special with the "-nonnexus (noarch)" files, but I don't what it is.
Am I missing something? Should I try something else? Thanks in advance.
I remember that I flashed (TWRP) Google Dialer Support Framework from here according to this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-dialer-t3557412 (Workaround section). Give it a try and report please.
Thanks Rufik!
Actually, I found the same article last night and downloaded + installed the Google Phone APK 11.0.164102751 -- and it work great.
No problems what so ever... other than the lack of missed-call and voicemail notification bubbles. I have heard that this might be a Nougat problem, which is fixed in Oreo. I am using Nova Launcher and Tesla Unread, which is great for notification bubbles on every other application, except for Google Phone - which does not seem to display the bubbles. Google Phone used display (with and without Nova Launcher + Tesla Unread) the notification bubbles just fine, but not on version 7.xxxx or 11.xxxxx. Any thoughts or suggestions?
The only version I tried is v14. No problem with call log or missed calls. No problem with contacts also.
I suggest you to try v13 or v14 and give it all possible permissions. Older versions could have problems you described.
I don't care about bubbles edition, sorry.
Some idea - the ability to install Google Dialer form play store depends on Google Dialer Support Framework. Try to flash it (twrp), restart and check play store.

Yes, the same here. But I don't care about it. The only problem is ringtone delay for me, it forces me to drop Google Dialer and use stock one (that I don't like).
OK, it looks like after update to Oreo (8.0.0.361) delay is gone, Google Dialer v15 (patched, from xda) works fine for me
Edit: I've managed to flash Google Dialer Support Framework and then install Dialer from Play Store successfully. Framework is from Open GApps Android 8.0 ARM64 (pico edition), just repacked to my twrp flashable zip. Works only with Oreo (tested on my C432 8.0.0.361).
When we get Magisk working on Oreo then I'll make magisk module

Google's New Smartphone's OS Android P. Recently Developer Preview has been released and it came with so many great features. Like screenshot editor, new notification shade, direct reply from notification and it supports every messaging platform - facebook, messenger, hangout, whatsapp, skype, telegram, instagram etc. Not all device will get this new Android P update. But if you want to use that new features on your current android phone now, then install new features in your phone right now without root.
Installation :
Go to Play Store and Search "Material Notification Shade" and install it.
Caution : *Not Material Notification Status*
After install, allow all permission and enjoy the features. You dont need to do anything else, because direct reply mode is already done in that app. Facebook messenger, whatsapp every social app message you can reply without opening the app like Android P.
Screenshot is in the attachment.
I could even give the video tutorial link but i'm not allowed to do that yet as that's from Youtube.
Anyway you face any problems, feel free to comment that, I'll to catch you asap.
Enjoy Android P.
Hey everyone,
I foolishly deleted Google Phone from my phone on One UI and now, when I check the Play Store, it is not even listed. I also have Light Flow installed and had to revert to the legacy app for a phone on Android 6.0 or older. I believe although this is Android 9.0, it's somehow registering as something considerably older.
Any ideas on a phone APK that will install? I tried a few from APK Mirror but none of them would install. I also tried the new Pixel dialer and the same results.
In the worst case, I'll just continue to use the Samsung stock dialer, but would really prefer the Google on, especially since the icons look better using the new Pixel Launcher.
Thanks!
**Edit** I don't know how to delete this thread so instead, I'll link to the new pixel dialer that worked for me on Android Pie Beta after I deleted Google Phone and it was found to be incompatible on media fire searching for Google_Phone_8.0.148481159__Patched__%281%29.apk
I'm on ZRJ9 Pie Beta and the newest v26 from this thread is working for me just fine
