So, out of curiosity, at this point what are his choices?


https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.and... . This is the "Google Dialer".

This is one example; there are dozens more.


The Google Dialer only works on Stock Android. Which is a shame.


Only from the Play Store. The APK can be installed on any device with the same architecture as it's built for. I have it on my LG G4.


Ahh, good point, I forgot about sideloading.


This could be fixed if Google considers this a problem.

Remember when they added Google calendar to Play to fight Samsungs BS?


To be fair, the "Samsung BS" was them trying to setup a separate ecosystem that was just as good in case they needed to break from Google. I really hope Samsung does this at some point too. I feel there are enough people that don't want eyeProducts that we'd finally see some innovation in 3rd party markets ... or everyone would just install Samsung/Google/Amazon stores ..
