Google Phone app support - Request

[Volodesi]

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.
Google Phone app now available on Play Store for some non-Pixel phones"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.

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.

Then atleast improve the default dialer with heads up notification. Nobody likes the intrusive full screen call notification (except some fan boys ofcourse).

Edit: it is not like this working is a very common thing. Far from all devices will support Google Phone app.

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
