I found a way to disable the integration with Android dialer that seems to work, though it requires a rooted device and a root file explorer (like Root Browser) unless there's some other way to do it.
- Launch Root Browser (or any other root file explorer)
- Navigate to the root directory of your phone (in Root Browser tap the home icon in the top left corner of the screen)
- Navigate to the /data/data/com.freedompop.phone/shared_prefs/ folder
- Tap com.freedompop.phone_preferences.xml file, then RB Text Editor (if using Root Browser)
- Scroll to the bottom of the file and tap the end of the second line (before </map>), then press enter
- Either manually type or copy and paste the following text:
<boolean name="integrate_with_native_dialer" value="false" />
- Save the file (the floppy icon on the top right corner of Root Browser) then press back and restart your phone
- Launch the Settings app, then go to Apps, then go to the FreedomPop Messaging app and press Force Stop, then press OK.
- You should be able to use the regular dialer now.
