OK, I have tried for 2 days now to find a dialer replacement that will work. I have had varying success but nothing that actually works for both incoming and outgoing calls.
A handful off apps would work for outgoing calls, but in order to do that I had to replace the default dialer to the 3rd party one and when I do that, all incoming calls ring once and then go to voice mail.
The main issue as I see it is the "in call" screen. This is the screen that can not be rendered at 4k and therefore crashes. Most 3rd party dialers are simply a different interface with which to select your call but once you click "call" the phone executes the call using the standard "in call" screen and you get the crash.
I have found a few dialer replacements with their own "in call" screens and they work for outgoing calls, but i can not get the phone to let the 3rd party dialer app take the incoming call, so it's only half the solution.
I am going to keep searching and trying combinations of things and will update the thread as I know more, but it's starting to look bleak. I need someone to build a 4k dialer. I will pay good money if it actually works.

Ok, I tried everything again, using the dialer you recommended, and revoked all permissins from the stock dialer, and did a force stop on it and it works. I do not hvae the option to disable the stock dialer, but I did force stop it. My guess is it will start back up again maybe on a reboot and then I will force stop it again.
Also, I think the 807 was part of the solution for whatever reason.
thanks again!
Update #2....
I had to change the density as with 807 my settings app kept crashing. I just used the UI on the phone, under display, display size and took it down one rung. I set the density to 807 with adb, then went in the UI and dropped it one notch. Everything works perfectly now.
