Google Dialer - Playstore

[TechTinker]

So the first non-nexus phone got the KitKat update (Moto X) And it seems like the business search feature is missing (Search in dialer, not when a unknown business calls). So either Google devided to keep this to themselves, or Moto just fked up. With the playstore getting additions such as Googles Camera, Keyboard, Calender, and Moto uploading their camera and assist app (Only for Moto X/droids though). Do you think Google will make the move to upload their KitKat dialer to the Play Store? Makes sense if Google wants dominance over say Samsung.

Google is all about search and the new dialer hits their sweet spot. Definitely see it on the play store.

I was thinking the same thing. Before I even got to your reply I went and checked, and Cannot find anything.

Most OEMs will not have Google's stock dialer in their OSes unless they are able to modify it, because the design language conflicts terribly with Sense and TouchWiz, for example.

I have no idea why Moto didn't include it, other than Google wanting to keep it Nexus-exclusive for a while, like the Google Experience Launcher.

I would like to see both the Dialer and Launcher hit the PlayStore. I see a good chance of it happening considering google have been putting up other essential apps to be downloadable and porting them to iOS.

Well atleast there is the Motorola camera: https://forums.androidcentral.com/e...details?id=com.motorola.camera&token=cXXXQSG1

There isn't actually a Google Camera, there is AOSP camera, however with Google firmwares it included the Photosphere feature which is proprietary.
