Google Dialer (old version) - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi all
I'm trying to install an old version of the Google Dialer on my Galaxy S7 SM-G930F.
I had an old dialer version (roughly 4.x) installed. Then I reset the phone and updated it from build G930FXXU2ERE8 to G930FXXS8ETC3.
They are both Android 8.0.0 but different security patches.
Now, since the new build, I am unable to install any version of the dialer, also newer ones... It keeps giving me "App not installed".
Does this have something to do with the security patch level??
Thanks for the help!
Edit: The phone is not rooted. I'm downloading the APKs from apkmirror as I have in the past when it worked just fine.

NOKIA 6 (TA-1000) September update

Hi guys,
I am new here, recently i got to know that TA-1000 is a Chinese only version and was supposed to be in China only, but somehow i got it and wasn't able to update. It was stuck on April 1st, and now it is on September 1st.
I followed a procedure by a Russian guy on this forum. I must say this site is amazing. So i made a video out of it.
Well i am not sure if i can post the video tutorial link here in the forum. Let me know if i can and i'll send you the link to do it very easily.
Looking forward.
Thanks
Mavrik

After the Hard Reset (which will delete pre-installed unnecessary apps), will I get the previous UI (swipe up to get to Main Menu)?
I can confirm that it works on Nokia 6 TA-1000. In my case I had the phone connected to the PC already when I had the flash tool open. And when I turned it off to prepare for flashing the firmware it automatically switched to Download Mode. But the GUI is changed after that. No more swipe up menu and the items in the pull down menu are way too big now.
You can install Pixel Launcher that have swipe up function.
I followed this guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441 and flashed the nokia 6 ROM linked there.
Result:
1. My phone is no longer identified as TA-1000, but as TA-1025 instead.
2. It updated itself (OTA) all the way from 7.1.1 June 2017 (through July, August, September, October, November patches) and ended as 7.1.2 November 2017 patch.
Warning:
Your mileage may vary. My phone went through few ROM flashes described below and the end result can not be guarantied.
My phone is dual SIM, 4GB RAM, 32GB storage without NFC - definitely Chinese version.
History:
I purchased the Chinese (mainland) Nokia 6 in May.
The phone came with some weird (custom) ROM without update function but with Google apps. The ROM was so messed that location services didn't work properly so applications like G maps, gett and even tinder were not able to detect device location.
I followed this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/problem-firmware-nokia-6-ta-1000-t3640667 to flash slightly modified global ROM with stock Android 7.1.1. It still missed the update and some minor issues like DOLBY not working.
Then I followed this thread to flash the original TA-1000 ROM https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/nokia-6-ta-1000-september-update-t3679882 and it went to stock locked Chinese ROM that updated (OTA) to December 2017 security patch.
It was still awful experience with custom locked apps without option to replace some of them.
So I just followed that thread, and flashed the ROM for nokia 6. I Ignored the warning about different phone model and continued.
Everything seems to be working just fine (none of the issues I encountered with other ROMs).

I really like what you have done. I also have a TA-1000 with the December patch but in 7.1.1. I had thought of flashing another rom many times, but they say that in that case it is no longer updated by OTA. If you say that OTA really works, I'm going to decide to flash it.
I also would like to know if location services are working ? With Google play update (I'm in France) I have region issue I think. When I bought it in July I had Google location history working. After some time and a Google play services update it stop working by disabling it. And share location is not showed anymore in location settings. And location history is greyed and locked. Everything is on in Google settings, I tried another account flash the phone with original firmware and as soon as I install Google play it updates it self and lock location history. It works on a ta-1033 but in France ta-1000 won't work.
I tried to cheat on GPS settings, not using my French SIM card and on. But still it disable itself.
So does flashing ta-1025 solves this issue ? ta-1025 is the Indian version ?

Share your results. OTA worked just fine. The phone updated itself (OTA) all the way from July to November patches.

TA-1025 is MENA (Middle East / North Africa) version. AFAIK, the difference between versions is in the radio bands.
My location history works perfectly fine as well as every other application using location services.

In this case, I need a European ROM for flashing. Radio band is not the same that MENA version.

The ROM has nothing to do with radio bands. It's the HW difference.
For example TA-1000 does not have NFC and no ROM will fix it.
The ROM that linked in my post is for TA-102x and TA-103x.
There will be no difference in functionality between international ROMs. Only Chinese is different.
Well, I shall try then to install the ROM . As I have the Chinese version I guess it will disable NFC, and may be led support ? I will post the result next week here ASAP.
Then I will install the rom ta-102x in my ta-1000. Cross our fingers
It has worked!!! Thank you very much!!! Now I have a fully operational TA-1025, which has all the updates down to 7.1.2 by OTA. I had been thinking about flashing another ROM for a long time, but I did not dare if OTA updates failed.
I only find a defect. the apps of the Chinese version have disappeared. There is no backup app, gallery, or music. They have been replaced by google. Is it possible to get the apps from the Chinese version?

It's not a defect, it's a blessing
The launcher is still some semi custom version.
If you are interested in Chinese apps, you should probably flash the TA-1000 ROM from this thread - it has all the custom apps including contacts, phone, calendar, music etc.
A small update: today I've got the December 2017 security patch was really hopping to see Oreo update which was promised to land this year.

Hello sir, I found ur post is interesting, I would like ask some questions if I may:
1. Which ROM I need to download, the one in the first page of this thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/development/nokia-6-official-firmware-mena-region-t3664441) or other pages? Since currently that thread have 49 pages so I confused which one I should download.
2. After download the ROM and flash it with OST Tool, the apps and data will be wiped out? Is it required to do a hard reset? Currently I have TA-1000 which at December Updates and since I flashed to the original chinese stock ROM I never do hard reset and working with my old data and apps just fine until.
3. Have you try the beta labs to try the Oreo update? Since right now TA-1000 model is unable to register. If like u said that the ROM could change the registered variant (from TA-1000 to TA-10xx) then probably it could pass the beta labs verification.
Looking forward for ur respose, if anyone would also like to help pls reply this message. Thank you.

One UI beta for unlocked S8 snapdragon model

I may be late to the party on this one, but after installing Samsung+ 11.2.5.0 on my unlocked Galaxy s8 snapdragon model g950u1, I was able to enroll in the beta, i am downloading it now and will be installing it. Hopefully this will help some of you looking to get into the beta without having to use odin to flash it.
What's built you have ? In on CRL2 and enroll and not update shows available
What's built you have ? In on CRL2 and enroll and not update shows available. And what time take when you register for the beta to show you a update ?

I went from CRL2, and after I installed the app it took roughly 5 mins for the banner to come up saying Samsung one ui beta. It was a 1.5 gig instal and seems pretty stable. Only issue I ran into was, I factory reset after installing it, and Google play got stuck for about and hour trying to install an update from the playstore. I force closed the app, wiped cache and data and it resumed restoring my apps. Everything else is working fine.
Why can't I install Samsung + or samsung members on my S8 G950U ?
can u check if there is a scene optimiser option given in camera settings/camera modes or not??
Does anyone have the Beta update to load it manually?
Looking for the ZSAB to ZSAI update for snapdragon unlocked s8+

Magisk v 22 update

Hi All,
I wonder if any of you , who use stock Oreo 8.0 rooted, have updated Magisk to the latest v22? If you have done so, would you mind sharing how it went?
TIA
Most software comes with an event log for each update. This record shows what was changed, deleted, or added, if there was nothing told specifically about your phone, or OS, then it is probably the same as it's former stable version.

Solution to 'AppIntegrity' preventing sideload on factory android 13 device?

Hi there!
First, a little bit of background: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-recorder-sideload-failed-verification-android-11/
I have been trying to install Google Recorder on my Galaxy A14 5G that came preinstalled with Android 13, and thus Play Services version 22.02.14. All the fixes I have seen involve reverting your play services version to factory (before android 11) but my factory version is newer then that. I was thinking of sideloading an older version of Play Services, but I don't know whether that would work or wreck my phone. Can someone please give me some guidance on this?
Thanks
