Google Now Launcher on ZF2 Dialer missing

[stogie5150]

I installed google now launcher and the dialer app is missing. My ZF shows that the launcher is active, but no little blue dialer icon, and the dialer app is most definitely Asus. Anyone had this issue?

So if you open the App Drawer, there's no "Phone" app present?

Nope. I ended up going back to the Asus launcher, I'll force myself to get used to it...LOL

Sorry, I'm a bit confused--are you saying that there is no Phone/Dialer app whatsoever when you use the Google Now Launcher, or that you only see the ASUS Dialer app when you were hoping to see the Google Dialer app?

Sounded like my old Nexus 4. I'm purely speculating here but I believed at the time that it was a bug due to Google's 5.0 software. My phone app dispeared after the update to 5.0.
Just disable the launcher or clear it's data if you can and see if that helps.

I only saw the ASUS dialer app. Its cool though, I will get used to it, or not, the way its chewing up battery I'll be moving on to something else very soon anyway.
