Welcome to xda-dev,
Please, do a search before and read the manual of your device ...
Have a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/faq.php?faq=vb3_board_usage
Some answers, cause I'm a nice guy :
1- No, without if you have to use HardSPL hacked before.
2- Yes, go to your phone settings.
3- By pressing and holding the hang-up button.
Etc ...
Thanks again for your fast replies!
For Keylock, when i hold and press tha hangup button, it will go to silent & vibrate mode instead...
Can I create a new folder in SMS inbox?
Yes
Tap on Messages tab. Tap on All Messages. Tap on Menu - Tools Manage Folders
Use your stylus.. place it on Inbox hold it there for a few seconds.
Pop up menu - New Folder
I selected all of the messages but the "Manage Folders" still cannot be selected..
Can i change the sms tone to my own mp3 tones?
Thanks!
Hi kawatsu,

After installing this profile you will be able to say "Ok Google, call" followed by <the name of any contact or ph#>. Google Home will then make the call from your cell phone and turn on the speakerphone.
Video Demo
Part 1.
1. Download and install Tasker, AutoContacts BETA, and Pushover apps. Also download the Make_Call.prf.xml (you will make use of this file in Part 3.)
2. Open AutoContacts, grant all permissions and allow it to load your contacts (I recommend that you upgrade to the full, paid version or you will only have access to a limited number of contacts).
3. Open Pushover and create an account (it’s free).
Part 2.
1. Go to IFTTT.com and create the following applet:
a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a Phrase with a Text Ingredient”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “please call $”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok, calling $ from your phone”
b. “That” – Pushover channel - “Send a Pushover notification”
i. Under “Title” enter “call”
ii. Under “Device” select your device’s name. You can leave, or change, the other default entries according to your preference.
Part 3.
1. Place the “Make Call” xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part.1.
3. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
You can now say “Ok Google, call" followed by <the name of your contact>. Your phone will place the call and turn on your speakerphone. Enjoy!
**Important**
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker, AutoContacts, and Pushover or your device may disable these apps when idle.

When I get google home to call someone it calls 9n my phone but dosent put it on speaker and when I click on speaker it goes through my phone speakers not GH.
I was testing for a friend this works perfectly. How do I go about uninstalling all of this to go back to original operation? I've uninstalled all the apps but Google assistant will no longer query from my phone, it won't look up number on web and dial out from my phone. Now it just says it's calling and sits there. When I say OK goggle call xxxx it should do a lookup of contacts or out on web and then dial out. What is calling xxxx but that's it no dialing or lookup is occurring.

I logged into ifttt site I turn off and deleted the applet. I can now make calls out when the contacts are stored in my phone or in Google contacts. What it still won't do is search online for number and dial out.
That has nothing to do with this hack. You may want to search the Google home forums for help with that.
Closing thread as a native calling function has now been added to Google Home.

***12/15/2017*** The method below has been replaced with the following improved method: Text Messaging with Google Home and AutoVoice
**Updated 5/27/2017**
After installing this profile you will be able to say "OK Google, text <name of any contact or a ph#>" followed by "message" then <the body of your message>.
Video Demo - 1
Video Demo - 2
Part 1.
1. Download and install the Tasker, AutoContacts BETA and Pushover apps. Also download the Send_Message.prf.xml (you will make use of this file in Part 3).
2. Open AutoContacts, grant all permissions and allow it to load your contacts (I recommend that you upgrade to the full, paid version or you will only have access to a limited number of contacts).
3. Open Pushover and create an account (it’s free).
Part 2.
1. Go to IFTTT.com and create the following two applets:
Applet# 1:
a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a Phrase with a Text Ingredient”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “please text $”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok, text $ , would you like to send this message”
b. “That” – Pushover channel - “Send a Pushover notification”
i. Under “Title” enter “text”
ii. Under “Device” select your device’s name. You can leave, or change, the other default entries according to your preference.
Applet# 2:
a. “This” – Google Assistant channel - “Say a simple phrase”
i. Under “What do you want to say?” – Enter “please send message”
ii. Under “What do you want the Assistant to say in response?” – Enter “ok, sending message”
b. “That” – Pushover channel - “Send a Pushover notification”
i. Under “Title” enter “text”
ii. Under "Message" enter "send"
iii. Under “Device” select your device’s name. You can leave, or change, the other default entries according to your preference.
Part 3.
1. Place the "Send_Message” xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
3. Back-out of Tasker to save the profile. Done!
To send a text message, use the following command format:
1. “Ok Google, text <name of your contact> "message" <followed by the body of your text message>." GH will read back your message and ask if you want to send it.
2. Say "Ok Google, send message" to send or, restate your message to make corrections. Enjoy!
**Important**
- You must say the word "message" after you state the name of the contact to message and before you state the actual message body! The Tasker profile identifies the word "message" as the "splitter/separator" between the name of your contact or ph# and the body of your text message.
- Turn off battery optimization for Tasker, AutoContacts, and Pushover or your device may disable these apps when idle.

thanks for posting this great tip but I have a problem
I've setup everything as per your instructions, my GH understands the voice commands I give it, but no text message is actually sent
I wonder if there is some setup of autocontacts that I need to do? I'm new to tasker so don't fully understand how it all works together
edit: I got it to work, needed to upgrade autocontacts to the beta version. thanks again for all your great GH tips

My bad, I forgot to mention and link to the BETA version of AutoContacts. Glad that you figured it out. OP updated.
Thanks for the guide, I followed it and ran into the same problem as the first comment. I realized I also did not have the beta version of AutoContacts so I followed your link to download it and ran into a message on GooglePlay saying "Your account isn't currently eligible for this app's testing program" Is there anyway to get added to this or make regular AutoContacts to work with the rest of the set up?
Thanks

I have never encountered that issue. Try going here to sign up for BETA and see if that works: https://joaoapps.com/beta-testing/
I have followed every single step and on the tasker profile keeps giving me an error on the Variable Split.
Variable split: can't split unset value to set %pushovermesssage
Do I need to be rooted to use it? I have the galaxy s8
thanks

You don't need root. Make certain that you are phrasing your message properly, i.e. "text <name> message <body of your message>" Open the pushover app and confirm the message is coming over correctly.

I checked the pushover app and it is coming over correctly but I always get a message on my own phone from anonymous with the text % pushovermessage2.
When I run the pushover task in tasker I get an error in line 6

That doesn't help me. I need to see the message coming over from IFTTT to pushover like this:
I'm having a similar issue. Pushover is receiving the messages but the phone is not sending the texts.

I suspect the issue is user error which is why I need the screenshot to confirm. mrniceguy1849 never posted the screenshot when requested.

I guess but it's strange that we both have the same exact 'user error'. I was fiddling with it all night last night and couldn't get it to work properly. I'd post screenshots if I could.
I think the problem people are having is they're not saying "message" after they say the contact name and before the text content. If you watch the video, the formula is:
Hey Google text <contact> message <text contents>
Hey Google send message
If you never say "message" the program never knows that you stopped saying the contact name and started the message body.

Exactly!
I'm getting unknown plugin for autocontacts, is there a fix/reason for that?

Hi. I noticed that the reply program works correctly only when I initiate a text conversation. I cannot just say "reply with" after receiving and listening to a text from a random person. The reply message will end up going to the last person I initiated a text conversation with. Nothing wrong, just something to keep in mind for whoever is reading this.

You should be able to use the "reply with $" command after receiving a random text message from any contact or ph#. It works for me each time.

I wonder if it's because my applets have "Reply with $" where my r is capitalized, but pushover has reply in lowercase under title? I tried changing my 3 options of saying it to lower case "r" and Google replies as if she was actually replying to me. Sounds weird. It wasn't understanding my command, more like a response to my "reply with."
**Updated 4/23/2017**
After installing this profile you will be able to say "Ok Google, who called?" and have GH tell you the name or ph# of the last caller.

i. Leave the "Title" field blank.
ii. Enter "missed call" in the message field.
iii. Select your device in the Device field. You can customize all other fields according to your preferences.
Part 3.
1. Place the Who_Called_.prf.xml file in your device’s Tasker/profiles folder (if these folders do not exist then create them).
2. Open Tasker and long-press “Profiles,” then select “Import” and import the xml file from Part 1.
