I tried a number of things to get the Google dialer without success.
For now work with kk dialer, has anyone any idea how to get rid the TrueCaller?
Just don't use TrueCaller?

Open up the dialler and go to settings, the three dots, The top option is Truecaller you can turn it off

I gave you the advice you wanted about Truecaller. As the previous poster stated, you can disable it, or, as I advised, simply not use it. Getting offended because someone took the time out to respond is terrible manners.
You may need to be rooted to remove it and we do not know if you are rooted. We don't know if you are running a Lollipop or Marshamallow ROM either. You have not helped us to help you by not giving us your platform information.
Have you tried to install the Google Dialer from the modular GApps thread?
Be warned that they are targeted to 32bit ROMs. Do a backup!
You could also try CM Next dialer from CM C-Apps package. This also includes Truecaller, but it is trivial to disable it.
I am rooted and am on stock TOS208G with trucaller uninstalled. I replaced with caller ID & call recorder app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.callapp.contacts that I prefer.
I have found the phone does not display whose calling via contacts only by the true caller ap. Have I installed something in error or got a setting wrong please?

From what I have found, there is no caller id system on the phone without having one of the various true caller id apps installed.

Caller ID is a stock feature of any basic dialer out there (Google/AOSP etc), it should not be dependent on True Caller.
I think True Caller is still on my Swift, so I will test this later.

I don't have TrueCaller on my device afterall. The dialer is the stock Android dialer and my caller ID works without issues.
What's the packagename for TrueCaller?
Sent from my P00A using XDA Labs
I wonder if I can restart this discussion here -- I want to turn off TrueCaller, but in Google Play it says it's a System App and it does not appear at all under any name in the Settings - Apps listing (no matter whether showing or hiding system apps). What other options do I have?
I'm on Android 7.1.2. My TrueCaller has no options to either turn it off or to turn off the notifications it brings up (which is my main reason for wanting to get rid of it: for something that's blocking spam, it spams me far too much with stuff that I don't want it to do).

This should indeed be the case. Unfortunately, for us Swift (1st gen) users at least, this is now broken.
When Wileyfox migrated from CyanogenMod to Android they broke a few things along the way as well as doing a deal with the Devil aka Truecaller.
Unless your device is Truecaller enabled then caller ID simply will not work. We've tested at least two dozen dialers and contact managers (all from Google Play) and not one of them works with the Swift in its current firmware state. We even installed the APK of the Google Phone dialer (provided by WF themselves and which according to Google Play is incompatible anyway) and even this does not work.
Besides, how many dialers does a mobile ecosystem need anyway? One has to ask themselves why there are so many and why they nearly always require OTA registration to do what they offer....
But that's another matter altogether.
There are other issues too such as SMS alerts going off at full volume in the earpiece during an active voicecall; or the persistence of 'charge mode' when connecting via USB, even though MTP has been set in the developer options or from the status pull-down.
One thing it tells us is that the Swift cannot be running stock Android - otherwise these problems just would not happen. If not that, then it is that WF don't have a proper working build process or test protocol.
Either way, the Swift is damaged goods now and it might seem WF are prepared to kick it into the kerb. Probably the best option now is to try Lineage, assuming owners are savvy and even want to.
On the other hand we could band together to oblige WF to get an update released. We have been trying for months to get their attention, both before and since their buyout by STK. For those who are minded to, perhaps you would like to add your support by liking the following Facebook post:-
https://www.facebook.com/officialwileyfox/posts/1872330073078309
If enough give it the thumbs up then WF may be moved to respond. Please support this initiative if you can.
Thanks.

We think we have found a solution:-
It ought to be possible to disable Truecaller but not remove it entirely unless your phone is rooted and have other management tools. We have managed this is on our own device which is totally stock and never been tinkered with (7.1.2 Nougat, Build No: TOS257G – N2G48B).
Secondly, installing another dialler from Google Play or via APK will work but it's almost 100% likely that a further setting will need to be made: setting as the default phone app.
This can be done in two ways:-
i) Settings->Apps->Configure Apps (Gear icon in top bar).
ii) From the app drawer, drag the dialler app icon to the "App Info" drop zone at the top of the screen. Scroll down to the setting that says "Phone App" - it should be yes or no.
See attached screenshots for reference.
It seems to us that many owners think their Swift can't be used with any dialler other than Truecaller, when in fact they can; the mistake is on the part of the firmware which won't recognise another dialler by default and hence breaks the contact ID display when incoming calls are received (not to be confused with caller ID).
Hopefully this serves as a solution. :good:

I'm pretty new to WM and the THD is only my 2nd after TyTn II.
I believe there has been discussion on available software for hiding secret contact, sms and other data but none so in detail for THD.
I've tried Skb Mobile Safety Suite v2.02 but it does not work properly in WVGA. Can anyone advise what other softwares that have the following features?
Hide selective Outlook & sim contacts.
Hide selective Outlook & sim contacts from public section but accessible from password protected section.
Hide incoming/outgoing/missed call logs from these hidden contacts from public section but accessible from password protected section so that we still can return missed call.
Discreetly prompt incoming calls or missed calls from hidden contacts so that we can still choose to answer or return the call. It can be a completely discreet with no clues whatsoever or selectable silent or single ring tone, vibration, flashing icon, fake alerts etc.
Hide contact photo associated with the hidden contact.
Hide hidden contact sms or selective sms.
Hide incoming, received, sent, saved, deleted, draft sms from/to the above hidden contacts or selective sms even if contact are not hidden.
Discreet prompt for incoming sms as with incoming/missed calls.
Hide missed call sms alert from selected hidden contacts.
Hide any other data.
This is pretty self explanatory but recommendation is still welcome.
I know the wish list is exhausive but any recommendation and discussion on currently standalone software that can achieve the above features in parts or a combination of different softwares that offer part solution if not complete would be still be very much welcome. Full compatibility may not be an issue for now so long it is still passable. It will be better than having nothing at all.
In the meantime, I also hope developers would pick up the ideas above.
Cheers!

Thanks! I dig around for more info on wvga fix but I doubt Mobile Safety Suite hides sms based on selected contact at the most basic level and will require very much manual intervention. I may be wrong until I try out the fix.
If there's any appz that that hides sms based on selected phone contacts and a separate one that hides the contacts and call logs, I'll take it.
Come on everyone's so squeaky clean? Anyone has any other recommendation?
Edit:
Seems like WVGAFIX3 does not support WVGA <->QVGA which I think is required by Mobile Safety Suite.

For most of your needs, there is an app which is called Magic Call (MagicCall). Look for it.
With this app you will be able to block calls and sms from certain numbers. It is really cool.

You got it spot on! The key is being discreet and hide the tracks. I think I might have heard of similar appz for symbian. Wonder if the likes of CIAs and FBIs have such a software to stretch it abit... kidding... Actually, even if the appz/solution/workaround have some loopholes, girls being usually less IT savvy, it might still pass and I'll take it.

Thanks! Really apprecite all forms of suggestion.
Just installed and still figuring it out. It does seems complicated and also "block" don't sound very right as jan understood my requirement. Girls are like money. You won't mind if you have more and you certainly don't "block" them.
Edit:
hmoroni, MagiCall is obviously a great appz. However, I'm not too sure if it suits my needs. When creating a new rule for incoming calls for the list of selected contacts, under "Operation" tab, options for "Action1" do not seem to suggest anything that will discreetly alert me so that I can choose to answer them when it is convenient to do so. The closest option is "Ignore" but will the ring tone still sound and/or the screen will still openly announce incoming calls rather than discreetly? If it does discreetly, then I'll still have to use another appz to hide the contact from public viewing, in which case I'm not sure MagiCall will still work as the contacts may no longer be recognised by it and therefore the rules will not apply.
hmm, I am sure the functionality you want can be implemented into an application, just cross your fingers and hope that theres a cheating unfaithful pimp developer reading this thread lol
But seriously an app that can do that would most likely become very very popular, so popular in fact that eventually windows mobile would gain 99% of the male market segment, and the remaining 1% would be on the FruitIphone

Then perhaps I should write to M$? Bill Gate$ might already have a ready made appz. If not, it does sound like a great biz strategy. He should rope both of us in as advisers.
I've been doing lots of searching and reading. There might be some appz that do what I want in parts but the searching and reading gets very tedious and short of trying each and every appz, I can only begin to understand them a little here and there before I think the appz is worth a try. Surely, there should be something that come close. Anyone?
I heard about apps that hides calls but i cannot find it...so me interested aswel
anyone got the solution 4 thiss??? hahaha... kinda need it rite now.... hahaha
It is really strange that there is no such application for WM devices. I know there are some apps for Symbian OS who are successfully working this what you are looking for.

I just played for a while with a Samsung Galaxy S3 smartphone, which is awesome.
A friend of mine, showed me all its "Motions" features, which i've found preety awesome, and right away this question came into my mind :
Is is possible to write an app to reproduce those motions in every phone that has the needed sensors and providers ?
For those who don't know which are the motions in play, here are some examples :
1 - Swype hand on screen to take a screenshot
2 - Face the phone down to silence call or music
3 - Put the phone on the "ear" to call the "focused" contact on the contacts list, or, call it if you have a sms of the contact opened by the time you put it in your ear
Those are some of the features that are "motion-triggered".
Is there any way to write an simple app that runs in background and "intercept" those tasks in every aplication possible, or this is only possible because of the integration between all the "Touchwizz framework" and their components ?
Thanks in advance

All right, so teorically it is possible to develop a bg service that polls for those events and handles them, ok.
But, what about the second part :
Once those events are intercepted by the bg service, is there any way i can achieve this feature : (?)
1. Service checks if the contact app is in foreground
2. If it is, service checks if there is any contact picked on the contacts app
3. If there is a "focused/picked" contact, service get's its number and starts a call to this contact
Same features should work for SMS app for example.
Is this achievable without such integration as there is on the whole "Touchwizz" framework for example ?
I mean, can my "third party" app fetch this kind of information of the contacts app for instance ?
Thanks mate

This seems to be a Stand alone app.
I am not willing to write a "Caller" app, i want to be able send those "stocks apps", signals based on the sensor events.
E.g : Once i turn the face the phone down, it hangs the call. (But this would be done by a background service, not by the "App that was selected as default, and is receiving the calls". Got it ?)
That app runs as a background service.. Use the trial version of it for free..

With that thought ... some pieces of the puzzle may not have been installed. Who knows lol. There is a lot more going on for native support. This has nothing to do with SIP calls, we all know that SIP, Google Voice Skype Video Chat/calls, bluetooth blah blah blah .... work.

Because tablets are not phones, there are features that have been removed or work differently on tablets. Be aware of the following things that may impact your application.

I have a Samsung Galaxy SIII and just made my first NFC-steps using some Samsung TecTiles tabs.
After trying a few NFC apps from the Google play, I have a few basic questions.
While basic functions like p.ex. switching Bluetooth are available in all apps, other functions like p.ex. showing a pop-up, text-to-speech or calendar functions are only available in only in one particular app.
Is there a predefined set of nfc-functions for any given android version or the app-author is basically free to program any function he can think of?
I tried to import a tag in one app which i previously have written with another app. This didn't always succeed. I could understand that there is a problem with importing special functions which are unknow to an app, but at least the basic tag and the basic functions should be recognised by all nfc-apps.
As the nfc-apps progress, will we see new functions/possibilities or will it stay about at the present level as the available functions are limited by android?
My device is locked, mainly because it was mandatory by a VPN installation.
Is there a way to unlock it 'automatically' thru NFC? I know this can be a security issue, but it would be so handy just p.ex. to put the phone in the car-holder and it would automatically go to the home screen or the car screen, and also during driving its annoying when the device has a time lock and needs to be unlocked in the middle of an intersection......
What is the power consumption of the nfc-module in the S3?
Thanks for your input.

There is a set of predefined nfc-functions, (like open a webpage, vcard, open an app..) but this set is very very limited and even the mentioned Bluetooth function is not included .... in fact, bluetooth needs a little hacking, because the official api does not support to turn on bluetooth without asking the user .....so basically a developer can (/ has to!) implement every function he wants, but in reality a lot of functions are blocked on non-rooted devices, because android defined them as security related....
I tried to import a tag in one app which i previously have written with another app. This didn't always succeed.

As mentioned the basic set is very limited.... it´s based on the nfc forum specifications and using nfc to control your device, is something these guys never had in mind ....so, sure you could use some standard nfc writer and write a webpage on a tag..... and this should be something every nfc device (not only android, but also blackberry, windows phone etc...) could handle .... but if you want to control your device, you need a more sophisticated app .... and there is no way to import a tag from one app to another ...
As the nfc-apps progress, will we see new functions/possibilities or will it stay about at the present level as the available functions are limited by android?

The functions are limited by android .... and my feeling is, that with every android update it get´s more limited! --> on Gingerbread, nfc was enabled while screen was off --> a function they skipped with ICS (ok, again, on a rooted device you could change the NFC.apk, to re-enable it) ... the last JB update declared the airplane modes as a security feature ... so no luck with airplane mode since 4.2 ...only to mention 2 examples ...don´t get me wrong, I don´t think it will stay at the present level, but it´s definitiv not in googles focus yet .... personally, I have a lot of new functions and use cases on my ToDo list, so I would say it´s just the beginning

Hi,
I use continuous glucose monitoring to monitor my blood sugar, as I am a type 1 diabetic. The CGM I use uses Bluetooth to sync with an app (Medtronic's Guardian Connect app) and gives blood sugar data, safety alerts etc., but this app is only compatible with selected Android phones, which doesn't include any Oneplus phones. I really like the Oneplus 7t so I would rather not sell it if possible, so I was thinking of trying to make it compatible with the Oneplus and removing the phone model block. This has been done before with a different medical manufacturer's CGM app ( https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/help/medical-app-compatibility-t4015519 ), so I think it should be possible. Given my lack of programming ability, I was wondering if there are resources anywhere that might help with learning how to do this? Obviously they're not going to tell me "This is how you make this specific app work", but I'm just hoping to find some general resources on this type of coding. I have searched around with no success as I am not sure where to look. I gather it would take more than simply changing the buildprop file to trick the app into thinking it's a compatible phone.
Thanks.
Would help to know the app and what issues you're having. Is it not showing up in the play store? Does it give an error?

I am able to download it, but when I open it it says "incompatible with your device", as it's only officially compatible with a limited subsection of Android phones (https://guardianconnect.medtronic-diabetes-mena.com/en_gb/app-compatibility). However, the Dexcom app that I linked in the first post also has limited compatibility, yet people have managed to get it to work with other android phones, so I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be possible for me to do the same.
I can't link URLs properly yet as I'm a new user, so I had to add those spaces in the links.

Hello. Just wanted to inform you that I inserted the working links on your behalf (at least I assumed so).
I hope you'll find a solution for the issue soon.

Thanks for that
I have diabetes and want to use this app for checking my blood glucose level continiously on my oneplus 8pro phone but the app says its not compatible with the device. I don't know how to solve this problem.
Is there anybody who can help us with this?
Have you you guys tried to email the developer of the app to fix this?

Yep, they weren't helpful at all though, unfortunately - they just gave a generic "keep an eye on the compatible device list" response. In the end I gave up and sold a Oneplus and got a Samsung.
Hi!
I just had contact with medtronic Belgium and they said; the more people call us the more 'problem cases' go to the IT'ers in America. So they mean how faster the problem will be solved so just give them a call
Greetings

How can we fake the phone ID for an app?

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
Can't use unlocked bootloader or rooted phones for medical apps as less secure

https://apkpure.com/developer/Medtronic%2C%20Inc.
Here is the list of all Medtronic's apps. Download the APK, then select the file from your Downloads folder in the Files app.
You may be prompted about the app being from an unknown source or risk to your device. Ignore the warning, tap OK, yes, or allow if prompted.
Hope this helps and as the post above already said I would consider calling Medtronic customer service and asking them to make the app available to all phones.

Was actually hoping for a work around to use on phones that are not on the compatible list, i.e. for the app to not check for phone compatibility before starting.

I second this; rooted OnePlus 8 Pro running an A12 custom ROM
Personally I've actually come pretty close and was able to hide both Root and Developer Options from being detected using XPrivacyLua, but was unable to get MagiskProps working properly to get around the final "Your Phone is Incompatible" by spoofing as a Google Pixel (one of the primary "approved" devices) message, even after trying multiple older APKs combined with clearing data/cache

Thanks.
Actually the logic behind limiting the compatible devices boggles my mind because, other than replicating the screen of the insulin pump and sending data downloaded from the pump to health care providers, the app does not allow pump to accept commands from external devices. So I do not see what the concern is with allowing more devices to use the app...

There is no logic, just retarded medical industry bureaucracy BS.
I've contacted customer support multiple times and asked them the same question, only to get the same useless response of pretending to "pass on my feedback".
It's actually one of the reasons I wanna find out how to work around the problem even more; like who needs them to take proper control of a medical device that I own.
Would also be amazing to get a Wear OS app that displays the same or similar information to the app, but I don't see that being made by Medtronic for at least a decade.

Hi! Im struggling with getting this app working on my rooted xiaomi. Do you remember how exactly did you bypass those checks with xprivacylua?
