Google Phone app - OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers

Has anybody been able to install the Google Phone app?
I've been using it for years on Nexus/Pixel devices and I can't stand the OnePlus app. Especially having a separate voicemail app.
I've tried downloading a bunch of different versions from apkmirror, but none of them will install. They all end with "app not installed".
I'm on a totally stock T-Mobile OP7 pro. I didn't think I'd need to unlock the bootloader or root it just to install a phone app, but I could be wrong.

Tried this?

Hm. I only want the Google dialer if I can get call screening.

Nope, didn't think to search the entire forum. Just searched the OP7 forum, lol. My bad.
Thanks!
Jetfire, apparently there is a way, it's mentioned in the thread. I'm still reading up on it but it looks like it's possible to have everything working except voicemail.

You can install the framework from magisk, and then download and install the latest apk from the web. It works fine (I tried it but like stock better).

Separate voicemail is a Tmobile issue. Verizon for instance has voicemail in the 1+ dialer and it's not even certified for Verizon. The Google Dialer VM doesn't work though. It might if I made it a system app.

[Q] T-Mobile Visual Voicemail Incompatible?

So earlier today I switched to the T-Mobile $30/month prepaid plan and ported my number from AT&T. The voice and data are both working just fine. I'm just having one small problem, that being T-Mobile Visual Voicemail. I want to install T-Mobile Visual Voicemail so I don't have to use up minutes calling the voicemail system, however when I navigate to T-Mobile Visual Voicemail in the Google Play Store, it says "This app is incompatible with your device." Why does it say its incompatible? I checked under my Google Play Account, it has my device listed as T-Mobile, and I tried signing out and signing back in on my phone just in case but to no avail. Are other Nexus owners having this problem? Could it be that T-Mobile Visual Voicemail is incompatible with Android 4.4.2 (I just received the update this afternoon)? I noticed on GP that a new version of T-Mobile VV was released just today, so I would think it would have support for the latest version of Android. Does anyone have any ideas? If anyone else has had this problem have you figured out a way around it? Thanks a lot for your help.
Tmobile is saying they haven't updated the app yet to be compatible with KK. However, if you search around on this forum the apk is available and works swell. GL!

Weird, I've had VVM on my Nexus 5 ever since I got it, and it's always worked.. can't remember if I installed it from Play or from Helium, though.
Here is the link for the VM apk
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2541207
Use the above post's link to download the APK and transfer to the Nexus 5, then use ES File Explorer (or similar) to install - and you should be good.

Thanks, I just sideloaded it and it works perfectly. I don't know why they're blocking it on Google Play. I don't think the one Rykochet put on Dropbox is even the latest version and yet it works. Come on T-Mobile, get your act together, I dumped AT&T for you.
Weird
I installed it directly from Google play and it's worked fine since the first day I got my nexus.
I'm not rooted and haven't sideloaded anything.
I downloaded it from Google Play the first day i got the phone. Two weeks later i rooted it and by then it was blocked on Play. I just downloaded the APK right on to the phone and opened it. The phone asked me if I wanted to install, said yes and it's been fine ever since

Suicide inducing Dialer App

Ahem...
Let me start by saying that this device is definitely up there with the finest when it comes to build quality. I mean, this thing is smooth, beautifully machined, great screen, great sound quality, ad nauseam etc etc...
But! The dialer app looks like it's rendered in Netscape Navigator (yeah, I'm old). Not only is it impractical as F**K but why does it not default to my Favorites like every single modern phone out there?
Why does it insist to always show the SIM slot number next to every single contact entry, even though I only have one of those creepy micro soul/wallet suckers?
Why is the incoming call such a nightmarish affair and don't even get me started on the ongoing call screen. Ho God, the buttons, where have they hidden all the buttons?? Ho the humanity (or lack thereof in this case)...
Honestly, this thing creeps me out! I've started to dread the time when I hear my ringtone and just start doing my little mantra: please let it go to voice mail, please please please... You get the idea.
I'm like a phreaking Freddy Kruger victim, can't fall asleep or IT will ring!!!
In short... And yes, I understand the thread could be a lot less tl;dr, has anyone tried to sideload the Google phone app?
Many thanks in advance.

Pixel dial app, you might not be able to use this
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
I don't want to recommend another I haven't used but there are about a hundred in the store.

Thanks for the recommendation but yeah, it's classified as "not compatible" with device.
I've tried/read about a bunch of others and most push data to their servers (contacts list, etc).
Been reading about past efforts on other HTC devices to use the Gdialer but it seems to crash, a lot.
To get the google dialer, your best bet is to use magisk and install the google framework to be able to install it off the playstore.
I've done it on my htc 10 and it seems to work perfectly fine (tried it with stock rom, "stock" rom, and with leedroid which has the option in aroma installer to use it from the getgo) I definitely won't change it back and will probably do the same thing once I get my u11+

i've installed several versions of the Google Dialer on my rooted U11+ and they all FC when i attempt to open the app. I installed the framework zip and included the Magisk module but no luck getting it to work. attached is a Logcat specific to the Google Phone app: not sure this is enough info or in the right format; however, i would appreciate an interpretation of the issue from someone more knowledgeable than me. thanks.

Judging only from past experience with another phone, you need to make sure to set the google dialer as the default dialer app in the settings, and of course also allow permissions for the app.

agreed. i should have mentioned that all permissions were set and the app was set as the default Phone app. no luck though, it still FCs when i launch the app (Google Phone). thanks for your reply.
Try this one of you have Google framework installed : https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-7-0-140861421-nonnexus-release/
Then, update it via play store. The only message I get is that my phone is incompatible when I start the app but it's working anyway.

thanks, but i tried that route already. version 7 works with an occassional freeze. updating to the the newest version via the Play Store works, but the newly installed (v15) Google Dialer app still FC's when i launch the dialer to make a call. one reason i need to use the Google Dialer is because press-and-hold the #1 on the htc dialer does not dial my voicemail. voicemail number is configured but it doesn't work with the htc phone app. works just fine with the Truecaller and Google Dialer. currently using a combination of Truecaller (using dialer to initate calls) and the Google Dialer app for in-call activity (set as default Phone app): i initiate a call via Truecaller and it connects using Google Dialer. Using SwiftBlack substratum theme for both apps.
Is there any way to install the Google Dialer app without root on a Dual SIM U11+ ?
I tried all the official versions 7.x-8.1 from APK Mirror and none of them could install, incompatibility error during install.
Is there any other possibility with G Dialer ?
OR an alternative dialer from Play Store ?

Tried that version as well and it freezes when I open it. The other version 15 FCs on my U11+. Error in logcat says "ActivityTrigger: activityStartTrigger: not whiteListedcom.google.android.dialer/com.google.android.dialer.extensions.GoogleDialtactsActivity/2015437" and I have no idea what this means.

@Galactus thanks for replying. i believe i resolved my issue: it was a permissions issue that - for some reason - the request to approve did not appear when i installed version 15 (from apkmirror) on my device. i decided to factory reset my device add my google account (so i can use the nearby places feature), then install Google Dialer V15. i get the "This device is not supported ..." nag at first launch of the dialer, but that's ok. so far, all is working well and i'm good to go now. stopped working...ugh!

Has anybody got the Pixel Dialer working on the OP7P?

I was able to install the Google Phone application from APKmirror (https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-phone/google-phone-33-0-249138098-release/) working on my OP7P, but it is missing the visual voicemail plus I would love to have the Pixel call screening functionality. I am rooted and have the Google phone framework installed, but I cannot figure out how to get the Pixel dialer working. Has anybody figured this out? Any suggestions?
Thanks

I appreciate it. I see that this doesn't have spam call filtering and there is no mention of pixel specific features like call screening. Is this any different than installing the Google dialer framework and the Google phone application off of the play store?

I too am desperately looking for call screening functionality on my oneplus, but have yet to find anything. The only difference between that apk and the one on playstore is compatibility. One will work, one won't.

Did you figure anything out I tried a few different Google dialers and I can't get my visual voicemail to work. the stock one sucks. It only actually lets me read the voicemail when it's a notification but when I go in the actual OS dialer all I can do is listen to it. I sure hope they fix that in an update later. Maybe it's because it's not actually for Verizon completely
How about using Google Voice for visual voicemail?

If you are rooted you can install the Google dialer framework for Magisk
Here is a link for the github: https://github.com/Magisk-Modules-Repo/GoogleDialerFramework
After you install that and reboot you can install the Google dialer off apkmirror and then it will even update through the playstore after that.

I tried that the other day everything works except for visual voicemail.
Edit. Okay I was finally able to get Google dialer and visual voicemail to work. I had to install a really old version of dialer from the APK mirror . everything seems to work I just get a message every time I open it saying it might not be compatible. I also did not install the framework. On some of my other trials I tried the framework but I think you guys are going to find out when you try to uninstall that you're going to have a bad time.

OP7P, VoLTE and Google Dialer, and Blocking Spam

Hi - I used to use the Google Dialer on my OP3T.
The Google Dialer (Beta version) is incredibly useful, because I have the option to block all calls that aren't in my Contacts list. Considering that I can get a dozen spam calls a day, that functionality is almost mandatory.
Sadly, the Google Dialer apparently doesn't appear to be compatible with the OP7P - At least, the Google Dialer isn't available in the Google Play Store on my OP7P.
Now, I could side-load the Google Dialer, but I'm wondering if it will break something in the OP7P telephony as a result. Also, does the Google Dialer support VoLTE?
Hopefully, a guru out there knows!

I found the solution.
The problem is that OP doesn't install the Google Dialer Framework as part of the OOS system. There is a downloadable Magisk Module for the Google Dialer Framework. Once I installed that, the latest Google Dialer Beta with Spam Protection installed properly on my OP7P.
Cheers!

This worked to install without anything else special. Turned on spam protection in settings. But is there anything else I need to do for it to work?
I am not rooted so no magisk modules.

New P40 Pro owner. Canadian edition. I have a few questions

So, I have not had to do any roms of apks in a few years.... so I have a few questions, please and thank you!!
Is there a rom that already has the playstore installed? So I can have gmail etc much easier with updates etc...
or am I better off installing indivual apk files for the apps I want? If so, where do I get legit apk files, current apk files....
I hope and assume, I can make this bell p40 pro... work like a normal android phone.
Thanks for your patience and please, let me know
I'm with Telus. Googlefier makes it easier to install Play Store, but keep in mind Google Pay will not work. You will also have to 'downgrade' your EMUI to v .131 to install Google services - follow this guide.
Now, to get EMUI updates working again, I had to force the update to .148. The updates kicked in and now I'm on EMUI 11. I'm not sure if Bell will operate the same, but I'm guessing this may be the case for you too.
Overall, things are working very well, but I do miss Google Pay. Android Auto works fine, and I'm able to restore all of my Google Play purchases. 'Hey Google' doesn't work, but Google Assistant does.
Hope that helps to start.

That sounds like you may have forgotten to open the LZ-Play app (with the Chinese text) an accepted everything. Check that first.
