Does anyone know if there is a way to install the dialer that searches? I believe I was told recently it is a Nexus only feature that allows you to search for a store/business by typing in the name of the business and it will show a list of addresses and phone numbers right from the dialer.
I have had it on my phones (sideloaded) in the past and I was hoping to see it on the L update, but no such luck.
Use Nexus L dialer. There are many sites to download it as: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/download-new-apps-apks-android-5-0-lollipop-preview-images/. But remember: the dialer indeed enable you to search sites but it is not a replacement for Moto phone functionality. So you must keep original phone.apk and dialer.apk in the system.
Thanks for the info, how do I install this on a non-rooted (VZW) Moto X? Cannot access root to push the .so file and the apk won't install.

You cant. Root is required when dealing with .so files

In fact I have previous version of Moto x (2013) and I used various Nexus apps many times. I still have Nexus dialer even inverted and it works flawlessly. I believe that it could be installed on 2014 model too if it is compatible with lollipop.
I found the last version of dialer and tried it on my phone. It works and it should work on 2014 as well. I attached the zip. Try this:
Unzip the file and push it with appropriate explorer (as root explorer or similar) to the file where original dialer exist (mine is system/priv-apps). Change permissions to rw-r-r and reboot.
If your launcher supports activities find phone (new) and pin it to the home screen. Otherwise download Anycut form Google Play and find it in its activities.
If this method wouldn't work it means that there is no lollipop Google Phone apk available for downloading yet. It's just a question of time to get one.
In meantime and if you don't have rooted phone you can find a phone app which supports global contacts search. The most popular is CallApp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.callapp.contacts).

I've gotten the previous dialer to work. It's the new one (2.0) that I can't get to work. The one on the site you linked. I was wondering if you had any luck with that.
I didn't. But if you had previous Google dialer working on Lollipop, do you expect significant improvements with 2.0?

I have always been big fan of Google Wallet. I had it working on my Note 2, S3, etc. I recently pick up Xperia Z and wanted to see if i was able to get it to work. Last night, i went to 7/11 and bought a drink, the guy behind me was blown away just the fact that i use the phone to pay it..I am on ATT. I've search in the app section for google wallet and no thread about it and wanted to share my experience.
I want to let you all know that i take no credit for this. All information i got is from that XDA and from prereq step 2. Also if you are on corp email, i would suggest remove it and re add after you get google wallet working.
Warning..if you don't know what you doing, please don't do this. this can cause bootloop and many other stuff. Precautionary, please back up..back up...
Here is how i got it to work.
PreReq
1) Phone rooted
2) go here and download latest google release from Modaco. Currently it should be r96-v13.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1769083
3) root expolorer - please use this only otherwise you will get boot loop. For more information, follow thread in prereq 2.
Setup
1) Use root explorer and mount as r/w
2) go to /system/ and look for build.prop
3) open with text editor in Root explorer
4) within the file, search look for ro.xxxx, not ro.sem.xxx. look for exactly below.
ro.product.device=c6603
ro.product.name=c6603-1270-7689
ro.product.model=c6603
and replace with
ro.product.model=Galaxy Nexus
ro.product.name=yakju
ro.product.device=maguro
5) put the application from prereq step 2 to /system/apps and set permission to 644
6) go to setting,more and check nfc and under wallet select google
7) reboot
8) launch google wallet and follow direction
9) after you get google wallet to work then launch root explorer
10) go to /system and rename the build.prop to build.prop.ori
11) rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
12) reboot
13) money
Please note that i did the exact step and it work for me. I have the xperia z c6603 and i am on ATT. Again i take no credit but just reading up on xda. IF anything, thanks OP in the link i provided.
I am using Xperia Z on Straight Talk, I just installed Google Wallet from Play Store, however, I got a" Google Wallet is not yet available for your device or mobile network"

I have this problem after I try to install google wallet
Also what is mean set permission to 644???
In root explorer hold down on file and go to permissions
4 is read
5 is read/execute (execute is always needed for directories)
6 is read/write
7 is read, write, and execute
The first number is Owner, the second is Group, and the third is Other. Thus 644 is
Read Read Read
Write

can you do a video on this? and does this work on T-Mobile on C6602?
9) after you get google wallet to work then launch root explorer
10) go to /system and rename the build.prop to build.prop.ori
11) rename build.prop.bak to build.prop
I did steps 9-11 and changing build.prop BACK to the Sony settings breaks Google Wallet again, you need to keep the modified version w/ the Google Nexus settings for it to work after a reboot. I tested this and can confirm it works.
Works like a charm!
Works as advertised except that you may not need to download the Google wallet app from modaco as stated above. I did a search on playstore and got the latest version of Google wallet and at first, it allowed me to download it and install but I couldn't use it. I then just changed the name of the model, device etc... and rebooted and it worked!!
Cheers.

Got problem with making payment.
Hey mad, im not sure u can help but I do need advise here. Mine is c6602 and im on tmobile 4g. I do all the steps except steps 9 to 11. The build.prop need to be kept as edited to make it work so I can open the app. Finally I get it and I tried the app. See a little yellow title that unsupported device on top. I added and selected my credit card. Then I went to office depot and tried it. With data network on, I make payment and everything go throught and it seemed I got transaction declined. I dont know what is the problem here. Is the rooted z rejeted by wallet recently or. Because of the carrier or the store system?
I really want to use the app so if u know the solution here plz show us.
Sorry to dig up an old thread. I have done this with every ROM I've installed on my Z and it worked every time. I am on AT&T, but I'm not sure if that matters. I even have a corporate Gmail account on this phone and it was unaffected by this process.
If you have trouble, you need to start all the way over. Remove the app from /system/app, fix your build.prop, and reboot. Then start at step one. It works even when you change your build.prop back to the Sony values if you follow the process correctly.
I have Niaboc's ExistenZe Ultra installed, Android 4.2.2, and this still works, just tested now.
If you get tired of the Play Store offering to update it, use Titanium Backup to disassociate it with the Market. You may have to do this several times, but it will stick eventually.
I should mention that com.android.phone complains and fc's a couple times at boot now, but it doesn't seem to cause any ongoing problems. Calls and SMS work just fine. All networking and telephony works as expected.
This same process worked on my Xperia ZL, my Xperia Acro S, and my Galaxy Note 1. Oh, and my Nexus 7. And the Note 2 while I had it.

I'm not sure if the exposed modules and framework are compatible with this phone or not, but you could try installing the exposed framework and the google wallet patch module.

Did you just needed the smartaction apk, or also system files to make it work on the Moto X? I have migrated from Razr I to Moto X; and the only thing I really miss is SmartActions.. If just installing the apk would give it back, it would be really great; Assist is just brrr..
By any chance; link to Smartactions apk?

Well, as you stated that you are still with motto band , I think you don't need any extra system file. Download the zip file , extract it , put the files in their proper positions according to the sub folder in extracted folder. If any file already exist in system don't replace it.Try and give feedback. I am not taking any credit or responsibility of it. I have tested in non moto device and it works except the location. If you able to get logcat then you can find which system file is needed for location access. Pl. Give feedback.

Hello.
I would like to use these two apps on my device (Nexus 4), but they are incompatible and I can't download them.
For about 3 hours I have searched for ways to download these two apks but have ultimately failed to do so.
Google provided no help, as they appear to be uploaded nowhere else on the internet, for me to download.
I have tried changing build.prop (=> no effect), I have tried downloading via the chrome extension APK Downloader (=> requires the Device ID of a Moto X, which I do not own), I have tried using Market Helper (=> outdated, only offers SGS3 and HTC One X as replacement options).
In short nothing works.
I would be very grateful if someone were to upload these two apk and give me the link.
It should be very simple to download them using a Moto X, as the only thing you have to do is simply grab them from the play store and then just extract the apks (using an app similar to Fast Uninstaller to create an .apk backup of it).
Thank you

I don't yet have an X so I can't help, but it's worth mentioning that even if someone provides the APK's they probably will not work because they're dependent upon framework changes that Motorola made for the X.
As an alternative to Motorola Connect you might consider trying "Mighty Text".

Follow the instructions to backup and then flash the AOSP dialer and contacts in TWRP. This worked perfectly for me on my Turbo.
Works great. Thanks!
I'm considering flashing this. Then I got to looking at these apps in the play store. Of course it shows that they're incompatible with all my devices, but my question is to ask if after flashing this, has anyone tried updating to the updated apps that are in the Play Store? Of course if I don't get a response in the next few minutes, I'll probably give it a shot anyway. After a nandroid, naturally.
I was able to get the contacts to install and initiated, and the dialer installed, according to Aroma, but for some reason, it wouldn't initiate. I suspect it's something to do with it being CM. I recall that CM somehow broke the dialer compatibility, back in either 10 or 11...

The original write up didn't pan out for me. I renamed the stock dialer and contacts, extracted the ones from the .zip and put them in the folder where dialer and contacts were. System>priv-apps>Dialer/Contacts. I then rebooted and they seem to be working, time will tell. There doesn't appear to be the oft desired Call Blocking. I think that's only on the newer versions, Marshmallow only. The newest versions of these apps that are on the Play Store won't work either, as they're MM only.

Flashing the .zip wasn't panning out for me. When I did it that way, I didn't have a dialing app. I could go to contacts and initiate a call from there, and it would ring through, but there wasn't an interface for the ongoing call. I couldn't close the line. I removed the .apks from the .zip and placed them in the appropriate folders then rebooted. Really only had one incoming call, yesterday, and it was fine. I don't think that we have video call though, not that I've ever used it, but I didn't notice the icon for it.
Can somebody help me out? I'm trying to figure out the difference between the 5.1 stock contacts and the Google contacts zipped with the Google dialer in the OP. I'm comparing the 2 side by side on my phone and I swear I cant find a difference. I know the Google dialer has differences I am specifically asking about the contacts app. Thanks.

couldn't get this to work on my droid. i tried the OP way by deleting the folders and letting the flash repopulate them, but the problem is that the zip's folders aren't 'contacts' and 'dialer', but rather 'googlecontacts' and 'googledialer'. i tried to flash and then to rename the contacts and dialer apks, and replace them with the new ones, but i still didn't have a dialer to speak of on my phone after reboot.
anyone find another way that works? i would really love to have this dialer...
I renamed the .apks inside of the Contact and Dialer folders to .bak, then flashed this file.
By the way, I believe that these Google .apks have been updated, but I don't have a clue how to make a flashable .zip. Anyone want to have a go at it?

Odd, in the flashable .zip, and as installed, mine drills down as: priv-app>GoogleDialer>GoogleDialer.apk. The structure is the same when I drill down into the .zip file that I keep because I have to rename and flash it again after ROM updates. I can't help you beyond that. Beyond my abilities.
If you are running CM 13, download the latest version of gapps stock from open gapps project. You will have Google Dialer. They have white listed our device"quark" as compatible.
Once flashed make sure that you set the app as default in your app settings.

Hello, I tried this on my S6 Edge Plus running 6.0.1 but ended up in a boot loop on the boot animation.
Steps I followed were:
Copy the com.google.android.dialer.apk to /system/priv-app/Telephone/com.google.android.dialer.apk and chmod 644
Copy the com.google.android.contacts.apk to /system/priv-app/Contacts/com.google.android.contacts.apk and chmod 644
Copy the com.google.android.dialer.support.jar to /system/framework/com.google.android.dialer.support and chmod 644
Did I miss any particular step?

Thanks for the quick reply.
I managed to get it working by flashing the Zip using TWRP.
I suppose the only difference is that it asked me to Wipe Cache after installing the zip, something that i didn't do while installing manually.
I could restore my /system partition and try again... but i guess the goal was to have the Google Dialer.. and that is what I have now
I'm getting similar results to what you got, no HUD and crash when accessing the Call Settings, any luck with any of those two?
EDIT: So I went through the log cat and found that when the user taps the Call Settings or the Emergency Call (on the lock screen) and intent is fired to launch the corresponding activity. For the call settings menu, the intent is android.telecom.action.SHOW_CALL_SETTINGS and there is no activity on the samsung version of android that listens to this intent so we get an FC.
I went through some of the source code and found that the activity for the call settings is named CallFeaturesSetting found in com.android.phone.
Looking at the manifest.xml of Google Dialer app, there is no such activity. This can only mean that a copy of com.android.phone.apk is expected to be present on the phone for the google dialer to run properly.

Yeah i have no idea why the Callnotification banner doesnt work. Framework didn't help too. There seems to be something missing. There is a mod for Sony devices where excactly this works but for LP. Maybe there are some hints there.
Edit:
Yeah copying the framework should work indeed if i look at the other mods but maybe something that samsung modified permits it from doing so. The changed many things, maybe this is the issue.

So this marks the end of my trying to fix this issue.
I managed to get the Call Settings But broke everything else
com.android.phone is not a standalone package, it comes in the TeleServices.apk file in /system/priv-app
As I suspected, the samsung version lacks the activities that the Google Dialer looks for.
I extracted the TeleServices.apk from a nexus 6p image and compared the two. Again as expected the google version has the required activity.
Another thing to note is that the Samsung Version is 13.2MB while the Google Version is just 3.2MB
Since they can't both be active on the device, replacing the samsung version by the google version fixes the call settings issue. But the phone doesn't register on the network.
in theory once can compile an app from AOSP with a different signature to allow the call settings to handle the activity required by the call settings app, or simply launch the settings activity of the default samsung dialer.
Any way.. just an update.
