What I'm wondering if a dev here can do, or if it can be done, is take the theme options from the Messaging app (background choices and bubble choices) and give those options into the current Google Voice app? I would absolutely love to see that done.
I think there already exist a better solution (so long as you're rooted) https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mdrtools.apps.gvintegration&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tZHJ0b29scy5hcHBzLmd2aW50ZWdyYXRpb24iXQ..
It allows you to send GV SMS (Through Google instead of through your carrier) via the stock SMS app.
Thanks for that. I'll look into it.

I tried this.... seems to really kill the battery. Works well other than that!!
Hi
I did try to Google but couldn't find the answer....
Is it possible to choose the default messenger per Contact (not global default messger App?)
For example, for some of my contacts I would like to use WhatsApp, and for others SMSPro.
When I chose to send a message to the respective contact (from the address book), the appropriate app should be launched.
Any help would be most appreciated. This has been nagging me for sometime.
Thanks in advance

Firstly, thanks for replying to my query. Now for the reason....
For my contacts who are availabe on WhatsApp I would like to use it, for the rest I would like to use normal messaging app.
(Others may even want to extend it to other similar apps too.)
I'm not 100% sure, but i don't think you can. Unless you just don't choose a default message app. Then everyone you wanted to send a text message, a box will pop up asking which app you want to use. I think.

Thanx, this is what I do right now but is quite annoying. I guess I will use the WhatApp app directly for the few contacts that use this specifically.
Would be a great option to have.
I could think a similar aspect for the dialer app too. Use Google Voice, default dialer, ....

Hi Lohtse,
Sorry! We had copied and pasted an ellipsized link. It's fixed now. Thanks! We have seen some issues on Xiaomi devices. We are working on them.
Regarding Refresh button, if you press the Inbox button again, it should refresh the inbox if there has been any new messages. Please let us know if this is not
what happens on your device. Once again, thank you very much!

Hi Lohtse,
Xiaomi devices allow only the default SMS app to access the SMS. Can you go to the Settings and change it (i.e., change the setting so it will not block other apps from accessing the SMS)? After doing this, please run Drextee Messenger again. Please let us know if it works properly or not. Thank you very much!

how would you suggest I do this as I have it ALREADY set to Handcent!
And that would not explain why it work sometimes but not others!
Also my partner has the Asus Zenwatch and Xiaomi Note 2 and no such issues!

Hi Lohtse,
Thank you very much for the information!
> how would you suggest I do this as I have it ALREADY set to Handcent!
If there is any option in the settings to block apps from accessing SMS, please toggle it to allow Drextee to access the SMS.
Otherwise, you can set Drextee Messenger as the default SMS app and open it on your watch
a few times to see if it crashes. Then, on your phone you can set the default SMS app back to Handcent.
Another test that you can do is the following,
send an email or Google Hangout to yourself. When you see the Drextee notification on your watch, open it and reply to it.
This will open Drextee Messenger on your watch. Please let us know if it crashes or not.
At this point, our best guess is that Drextee can't access the SMS inbox on your phone.
Once again thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience!

Hi Lohtse,
Do you mean it works after rebooting your phone or your watch?
We had a lengthy discussion about this issue today. It is possible that your phone OS kills the service which was started by Drextee. When you open Drextee on your watch, it tries to restart the service on your phone, but somehow it fails. Can you kindly do the following experiment and tell us what happens?
- Before opening the app on your watch, tap on the Drextee icon on your phone to open it. Then, open the app on your watch and see if it crashes.
Once again sorry for the inconvenience!

if it was the phone then My partner would have the SAME issue with her Xiaomi NOTE 2 and Zenwatch.
As to working it will work fro a short period after I reboot phone then will Force Close.
Now your experiment. It FC's but after SEVERAL attempt it opens(PHONE APP).... open on watch and then have to wait several minutes and if am lucky it refreshs the inbox....
"This application is not compatible with any of your devices" this is what I get in Google Play Store. I am using stock 6.0.1 firmware on Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and stock firmware 6.0.1 on Sony Smartwatch 3.

Hi Sapiora,
We do support Samsung Galaxy Note 4, but the app cannot be downloaded from Bulgaria. The reason is that we don't support Bulgarian alphabet at the moment, hence the restriction. Sorry for the inconvenience and sorry that Google Play Store error message is not clear. I will contact you once when we add support for Bulgarian alphabet.
Thank you very much. I will expect that.

Hi Lohtse,
Thank you very much for doing the experiment! Although you and your partner have the same type of phone, the settings and the versions of libraries running on two phones might be different.
We have been trying to roost cause the bug, but no luck so far. We have released a new version. Please let us know if by any chance it fixes your problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience!

ok installed and testing but FC'd soon as I did a reboot of phone and fc'd 6 times before it would let me open app on phone!
Well this the latest version is a little useless... been installed over 15 hours and never shown a text when its arrived nor does the inbox display ANYTHING either.. It is BLANK and refreshing does nothing!
Have uninstalled and reinstalled and same issues as mention in this and last post.. Partner now has SAME issues and hers was working fine before(as stated earlier)

seems deleting app cache and date then uninstalling and reinstalling corrects the issue
Hi guys,
I'm having trouble with the OOS Dialer, as a huge number of contacts show up twice or thrice despite being spelled exactly the same. Therefore I'm looking for a way to
a) solve that problem (already tried merge contacts, cleared app data etc.)
b) bypass it by using an alternative Dialer.
Requirements would be absolute stock-ish look & feel and the problem either doesn't exist or the good old custom rom way options (where you have much more option within the dialer app: Merge contacts, only show contacts with phone numbers, etc...).
Any hints?
Try Google Phone.

Truephone dialer... Only free for 7 days though
So I have a Z Fold 3 in Australia, purchased directly from Samsung. Several months ago I got call recording working in the Samsung dialler app, by changing the CRC of the phone and installing an Indonesian version of Android.
I'd prefer to use the google phone dialler app, but call recording isn't showing as an option. I've read everywhere that it only works if you have the google dialler comes preinstalled on your phone. So I guess my question is, why can we not just have an apk made of this "preinstalled" version of Google dialler so we can use call recording?
Also open to other ideas on how to get call recording to work in Google dialler.
Thanks

Simple answer: Because it's illegal in a lot of countries ...
And this https://www.xda-developers.com/google-kill-third-party-call-recording-apps-android/
ACR Phone works
Yes, I'm aware of the legality complexities. Perhaps I complicated things in my inital post. To simplify I have one question:
* If there was someone who has Google Phone (dialer) preinstalled on their device from India or another country where recording is allowed (and enabled) - could they do an export of that app? And then could one just import / install that onto their phone?
I don't know the ins & outs of how the export is done... but is it possible?

ACR does work. You just need to be more open to more possibilities and not just go to Play Store like a NPC.
I already bought ACR but, Google fuxed it up so it didnt work anymore unless on Android 5 to 9.
then I actually found one of the comments on Play Store that Aptoide version works.
I tried it on Android 12 and now on Android 13. It records both sides of conversation.
Just be advised that the instalation package will need to install Aptoide Store first, which, once inside, takes you to install page of ACR.
IMPORTANT:
*TURN OFF Updates inside the ACR app Settings, so that Google doesnt interfere. I also
**TURNED ON the setting that it asks me after the call "Whether to save the recording or not". Thats how l know it works and reminds me to check the functionality
You are welcome.
