How To Install The Google Dialer And Contacts On OnePlus 5

OnePlus, in all its smartphones, uses the Oxygen OS which is based on Android. It is a proprietary OS of OnePlus and it offers additional functionalities like gestures and themes. However, the problem with Oxygen OS is that it does not support Stock Android apps. Which means you cannot install the Google dialer or the Contacts app.

Even though the dialer app that comes with the OnePlus 5 works fine, it lacks some of the features that the Google dialer offers. For instance, the Google dialer allows you to answer or decline calls from the notification. Also, the Google contacts is a better choice if you want to backup all of your contacts to the cloud.

So, here is a step by step guide on how to install and use the Google Dialer and Contacts app on your OnePlus5.
