Google Phone app support - Request
Volodesi
Level 3
Google seems to be letting other non-Google phones download their Phone app from the Play Store. Can we get support for it on ROG Phone 2? It has better features and integrates better. It doesn't appear as a support device on the Play Store and the latest APK fails to install.
"XDA dug deeper and found that the Phone app requires the dialer's shared library to be present on the phone, which it is not on Samsung and OnePlus devices."
Even the Zenfone 6 can install it.
As someone pointed out in the comments. Here is the reason to have it over any other Phone app.

Does it have call recording ?
I do not know if it does or not. It's not a feature that I would even use.
I would use my Google Hangouts to make the call if I wanted to record it. Which is easy for me to do since I use Google Fi on my phone.

This is a very desired feature. Can we get get this for ROG2?
All it needs is adding the library. Zenfone 6 already has this.
@Anders_ASUS please can you get this included. The Google spam and caller ID feature is very good. It also has the floating icon feature which allows for multi tasking, which is very beneficial in this work from home situation.
Thank you and look forward.
Also we would love the heads-up notification
Why not just use Google apps? we will get more updates on the apps. We have to wait so long before updates and so on and that may make the updates go live faster with less work for the asus team. And don't make the locked! I want to be able to use what ever app I want and don't want to have stuff that's useless.
Most Google apps work already
The only one that is not compatible with ROG2 is Google phone app. Interestingly it is compatible with zenfone 6 but not rog2 even though the two are quite similar in software.
I know they work but I will be able to deactivate asus own apps. I don't see any reason to use them, Google or other companies have more stuff better looking and better working apps.
No, google doesnt support that. And secondly even if they did, it wouldnt work on as Call recording requires system access (meaning only preloaded system apps can do it).
And to answer why ROG2 doesnt have it - please be patient.
Edit: it is not like this working is a very common thing. Far from all devices will support Google Phone app.
Thank you for the reply. Looking forward to a positive confirmation :-)
Then atleast improve the default dialer with heads up notification. Nobody likes the intrusive full screen call notification (except some fan boys ofcourse).
Hi @CH_ASUS
sorry to follow up; any feedback on this? Can we expect this being included in a future update (ability to install google dialer)?
thanks in advance
Google phone is beta testing call record feature, perfect time to add support for Google dialer in Rog 2
Default dailer have heads up display...
Phone > settings > Call settings > use heads-up notification
Thanks, but this dosen't work as expected.
Please add Google dialer support, because the default dialer app is garbage and @ASUS is not ready to improve at any cost.
@CH_ASUS Pls enable this feature
Need spam Identification via Google dialer app
Awesome. This now works in latest update. Thank you folks!!!!
Awesome. ASUS should be more vocal with their updates
Nice. I installed it and it seems to be working fine.
