Other manufacturers has AOSP as a base and add their own apps on top so they do most likely not build their dialer apps on a AOSP dialer fork.
dhhdjbd Yes I am in a user profile.
I was under the impression that you were only supposed to use the owner profile to install software.
So now I'd have to either leave the phone in the owner profile for receiving calls, or switch to the owner profile in order to block the call (then switch back--just like turning on the hot spot).
By the way if it's a text, I can block it from within the text app, as a user, so it's obviously possible to implement this.
In fact I was intending to gripe that I had to clear phone call notifications every time i switched to owner even though I had received the calls as a user. I guess I won't bother griping about that; the issue is far broader than that.

Daily driving the Owner profile is fine. Doing so you will still be running the most private and secure smartphone out there.
Daily driving a secondary user profile is choosing to accept some increased friction and inconvenience for an increase in security and privacy.

No, and user installed apps in the Owner profile do not have additional access based on being in the Owner user. It's not a desktop OS. The advantage of using a secondary user for your main usage is that it doesn't have to be unlocked after boot for basic usage of the phone. In a situation where you don't want your data available, you could still unlock Owner. We don't recommend that most people avoid using the Owner user as their main profile but rather there's a high threat model niche where it can make sense to use a secondary user as your main profile for the ability to keep it at rest more.

The benefits are essentially limited to being able to use the phone with the bulk of your data at rest. People get the wrong idea about it based on concepts from desktop operating systems without a comparable privacy/security model which are not applicable.
