Google Stock Dialer/Contacts apks

Here's the stock google dialer and contacts app I pulled from my nexus 6 when i had it. It's not the motorola framework dialer and contacts, but pure google stock. They are in separate folders. I've also have a few that I've pulled from the web as well. I hate the ugly skin that lg uses, and miss the true material look from Google.
You HAVE to be rooted for these to even remotely work. Use root explorer or whatever app you use, mount rw and install as system apk (go to system>priv-app). Folder will need rwxr-xr-x permissions. Give app r-r-rw permissions. So far, contacts are working and I've gotten the google in-call ui to work by placing the apk in the lg in-call ui after renaming the original lg-ui. Can't get the dialer to install. LG skin is deeply rooted in thier framework, so it's kind of a pain. I'll keep digging into this to make some progress. In the mean time, if anyone else wants to chip in and help out, please do so.
In the link to my drive folder there will be 4 files. One of them is a flashable zip named GoogleContactsDialer (credits to whoever put this zip together. Wasn't me). Another should be the dialer in non flashable zip, and the other files are the respective standalone apks. I would suggest flashing the flashable zip, as it has the libs folder included.

**UPDATE**
Ok everyone, I have a quick second to give an update (getting up at 0430 is killing me right now lol) on things in reference to the dialer. Make sure you are using the flashable zip. The separate apks are ok, but the zip makes things easier.
Basically most hassle free method I have used to get it to be the primary dialer and contacts app is by using TB to freeze these 2 LG Dialer and Contact applications that are listed below.
*Call 4.60.79.10
*Contacts 4.56.18
I'm using KLWP and Nova for most of my homescreens. I'm linking the Google dialer apk to whatever phone KLWP icon using Nova Activities>Google Dialer>Phone(com.android.dialer.DialtactsActivity; make sure you select this one). For those that use Zooper, the same method would apply.
In reference to getting the dialer icon to show up in the app drawer on its own, I'm still working on that.

Got it to install. The Google dialer works too. The LG dialer kind of takes over every now and then.

Glad it worked for you. I used the flashable zip, but can't get the dialer to install. What did you to get it running? The contacts app works for me, but like you said the LG UI takes control sometimes. I may remove the LG call/contacts apks and see if google will run by default. Of course, I'll back everything up before I do.

What launcher are you using? I'm using the Google launcher with xposed. I also downloaded nova to use the activities widget to set the Google dialer.

Sorry guys that I've been MIA. Work and personal life have been really busy. I didn't remove the LG apk but just froze them with TB. So far the LG Contacts app doesn't override which is good, and I've set Google Contacts as my default. I'm trying True Caller but honestly don't like it. The Google dialer kicks in but it's random, and it doesn't show in my Nova app drawer. I'll get back to working on this when things slow down for me.

I am, for now, stuck at the dialer. Not enough time to play with it and, as you mentioned, it is not showing up as an installed app in the launcher. What did you do to get a launcher icon for it? I am running the latest Nova beta for now.

I wonder if one you that's had success with this might be able to offer some assistance...I flashed the Google contacts and dialer zip and froze the two LG files recommended by the OP and all call functionality was disabled. I could launch the Google dialer but could not receive calls. Did I miss a step?

Like you said, it is working - mostly. I no longer see the dreaded LG dialer (yippee!) but a couple of minor anomalies remain.
On an incoming call I do not get a full scree caller id and swipe to answer as I did on the N4 device;
Like you, I had to use Nova to create the desktop icon (which is no big deal I suppose);
When I bring up the dialer I see a "Speed Dial" tab but I don't see all my favorites (starred contacts). I tried clearing cache and data for the dialer but is not showing me the same starred contacts as the Contacts app;
Other than the above it seems to work quite well.
[ EDIT ] It seems that there is a difference between the contacts storage that LG maintains and what Google Contacts/Dialer maintains. I cleared data and cache for both, the LG Dialer and the LG Contacts app - note that in my case they were both frozen so I had to use ROM Toolbox to do this - and had the system re-sync contacts with Google. All of the sudden ALL my favorites show up as expected and, incoming caller Id is now displaying as it did on the old Nexus 4. Yippee! Apparently some minor issues can be corrected by reinitializing the contacts database on the phone.

Did you start out with a clean, well working system or could it have remnants of previous attempts to install a dialer? Most of my troubles came from the fact that I missed to clean somethng up from a previous attempt.
Essentially, I did not do much different from the OP. Starting with a clean system (I backup frequently with TWRP when I experiment with new things!) I flashed the zip file, rebooted, created the desktop icon for phone, froze the 2 LG modules with TiBu. I also copied the Google Dialer apk to the LGInCallUI folder in priv-app and renamed (but not deleted) the LG version which did not seem to make any difference to usage (I was hoping for a full screen caller Id).
As noted above, it seems to be working quite nicely with the 3 1 caveats I listed.

Any way to get Google Assistant on OOS without Nova Launcher?

Hey guys, I really want to run GA but don't like Nova due to not having the left google now side card available. I'll be using a Pixel Launcher zip. Is there any way this is possible with the OP3 on latest OOS? Thanks

U can get GA by using an xposed module called assistant enabler. I'm on oos 3.2.6 and am able to use it but one issue I'm facing is that it doesn't retain my voice training. Whenever I say ok Google, it prompts me to train it. Gotta find a solution.

If you got root, then just add the following lines at the end of your build.prop.
ro.product.model=Pixel XL
ro.opa.eligible_device=true
After that, force close your google app, clear it's data and reboot. And you should have your google assistant working.
Note: this would actually show up your phone as Oneplus Pixel XL in every place. Not that it breaks anything but just an aesthetic trade-off.

Installed the module on latest community build and got the assistant working but I have the same retraining problem.

I've also have the same issue with voice training.

I found out a solution from Xposed Assistant Enabler topic. Some users posted that upgrading Google app to 6.8.x beta version solved the issue. I googled for beta google app and installed one. Then I followed Sabissimo's instructions and got it working. Sometimes though I get a blank screen even though the assistant works fine in the background. Like when I say OK Google I don't get any notification window. Only taskbar changes color but still the assistant works and opens up things normally on the screen.
These are the instructions I followed: (I had to update Google app to a beta version before I got it working)

Disable assistant in module settings.
Go to voice settings.

Replace Samsung's Phone app with Google's Phone app

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to replace Samsungs built-in phone app with Google's phone app.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218

Also if rooted you can install the Google phone framework to install it from the play store. This will also allow the spam filter to work correctly... Which it doesn't with that link previously posted.

Awesome! I'm sick of how slow the Samsung dialer is....hopefully this is better.

Question [CLOSED] How to degoogle?

What is the easiest way to degoogle? How to remove GMS, GSF and other clutter without breaking phone calling or messaging?
Danke!

Temporarily disabling Google play Services for starters. If you disable it with an adb edit you'll lose access to Playstore and Gmail.
Depends how nuts you want to go...
I use a package disabler on my Samsung so it's easy to enable/disable them. I kill Google backup Transport, AR Core, speech to text, calendar and a bunch more.

Depends on what you mean by "de-google". Completely getting rid of Google including Play Services (+ Google Services Framework) for a full Google wipe, will require signature spoofing your device and replacing with MicroG.

com.google.android.gms.policy, I would not touch. Google play Services can safely be temporarily disabled in app settings without major issues. Google play Services, Backup Transport and Playstore are the major offenders.
While Backup Transport could be probably uninstalled with no impact the others would likely haunt you. Package disabling is easier do and correct when there's an issue... which isn't uncommon
As Andrologic pointed out extensive work arounds will be needed. You may nonetheless still lose full functionality and have problems with some apps.
Once you get it optimized by whatever means you choose to use, Do Not update the bloody thing or you will likely be starting all over. Probably with less options and a loss in overall functionality.

No clue what you're talking about. Google Play Services is needed for Playstore, Gmail and other apps to run. It wasn't retired with Android 10,11 or 12, it's a core Google service.
This may help.

I use whatever comes in handy to find a solution including cross platforming with other brands, models and firmware versions, successfully.
You don't ever see me posting this type of thread unless I found a solution. There are limits to my patience. Good luck.

Question Get rid of Samsung Call

I haven't used a Samsung phone in a while (my last one was the S6 Edge) and I must say that OneUI's settings management is a mess.
Maybe I'm stupid, but it seems impossible to override the default calling application.
I installed Google Dialer, but every call using Google's app launches Samsung's app (I did override both "default app" settings to Google Dialer)
I tried with the magisk Google Dialer Framework module but the result is the same
Is it impossible to replace it or am I missing something important?

try to disable it with adb if that's possible
the samsung call apps are "com.samsung.android.app.telephonyui" and "com.samsung.android.app.incallui"
