Hi all,
I started this thread in order to gain more feedback on the changes/additions I've made to ChainsDD's dialer. Ultimately I believe all the changes he and I make will become one build . Actually I've posted the changes on ChainsDD's thread, but I figured it will probably get a little messy over time, thus the reason for this.
For those of you who have used my previous versions, and are experiencing issues with no image for the left action button, settings no saving, FCs, etc. try this before installing:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.contacts/shared_prefs
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/shared_prefs
There are 2 zip files, one's the apk (for people who hate to reboot and like commands, like me), and one's the update.zip version (for people who hate commands and like to reboot ):
Installation instructions (Amon_RA's):
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Contacts.*
adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.contacts/shared_prefs
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/shared_prefs
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
Or you can simply reboot to recovery mode and flash the update version.
If call log is outdated (should not happen, just in case), or if you want to delete the call log cache for some reason, do the following and then re-open Contacts/Call log:
Code:
adb remount
adb shell rm /data/data/com.android.contacts/files/idCache.dat
Credits:
ChainsDD of course, for backporting it! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=594194
rac2030, for open-sourcing NavStarter. I adapted his code to enable navigation from the contact info. Thanks dude!
geesun, for sending me his group call logging code, and x140dan, for helping me get in touch with geesun. Thanks guys!
Features:
Dialer:
Ability to set certain programs for voicemail

Show contact pictures in call log
Hide the green dial button, when this is hidden, tapping on the arrows showing incoming/outgoing/missed call will dial the number instead. That is, they replace the function of the green dial button.

Ability to clear all logs of a particular type (missed, incoming, outgoing)
Call logs are now grouped

Contacts:
Navigate directly from contact info (works with M4ps and rooted Maps, it doesn't make sense actually, if you're rooted you shouldn't be running M4ps).
Show dial button in Contacts/Favourites, saving you one step before you call the person.
Add/remove contacts from Groups I've tested this quite extensively. It works when creating a new contact or when editing an existing one.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5273344&postcount=6186
ALWAYS read the changelog! Might save you from updating sometimes .
If you like what I do, buy me a beer!
To Do:
Dialer:
Landscape dialer? (I need a mock-up that looks good.)
Call Log:
Call log enhancements (Set the monthly incoming/outgoing call limits and warn accordingly.)
Contacts:
Add navigate option to context menu
Quick contact? (still thinking of how to implement it)
Misc:
Allow styles in preferences? (xenio's suggestions)
Known Bugs:
Not really a bug, but a limitation of Android currently. Friends, Family, Colleagues and the other Google-created Contact groups can't be shown. More info and workarounds here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1632
Any suggestions?
Changes:
2.8
Fixed bug at http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=999
Added German translations, thanks to thiasB!
Patched Call Logs by niuchl. It's supposed to be faster. Do report if it's faster/slow/bugs anything. His implementation does NOT make use of a HashTable or any cache.
2.7
- Cleaned up some code.
- Added an option in Contacts to auto-hide the keyboard when scrolling. Useful for those who use the virtual keyboard often (like myself) to search for names.
2.62
- Added menu option to show all groups or show only contacts with phone
numbers. Requested by explosivo2k2 (Twitter).
- Enabled fast scrolling for call log, and individual call log details.
2.61:
- Fixed a bug. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=783
- Added various clearing logs function when viewing an individual's call log. Press menu or long press on number to see them. Preferences may be implemented in future.
- Layout of individual's call log is changed. Time and date is now the focus instead of number. Also added labels for the number type.
- Cleaned up code quite a lot.
2.6:
- Call log should now load much faster.
- Some layout tweaks here and there
- Special thanks goes out to shadowch31 and lilithpro for testing! And everyone else who helped of course.
- Unknown numbers, private numbers and payphone numbers are now grouped together. Unknown as in you can't see the number, not those numbers which are not saved.
2.51:
- Fine-tuned the group call logging portion layout.
- Also, most of the contacts should group properly now. I did some workarounds to get most of them to group. Android's PhoneNumberUtils can't seem to compare numbers properly all the time, which kinda sucks. In addition to using PhoneNumberUtils.compare(), I also queried and pulled out the id of the Person (Contact). Lastly, I wrote a sloppy method which compares the last 8 digits of numbers, and if they are equal, they are grouped together.
- Also, my previous functions of "Remove all [Number]" was bugged. Again, I can't do much due to PhoneNumberUtils not working perfectly, but it should remove all numbers now, as long as they are 8 digits or more. Previously, if you had:
91234567, +6591234567, and 010891234567. and you selected "Remove all 91234567", only 91234567 will be removed, and the other 2 with country codes will not. It now works as expected, but the code is honestly not the best way possible. Unfortunately I am unfamiliar with country codes and such .
- Cleaned up the code, most of the strings are now in strings.xml.
- Ability to view call log directly from a contact.
- The dialog shown when copying a number, address, etc. now contains the address itself, instead of the word "address"
- Added more options to the context menu when viewing an individual's call log
- The incoming/outgoing/missed call icon when viewing an individual's call log will now dial the number of that particular entry.
- I should've called it 2.6. Lol.
2.5:
Rebased call log portion of Contacts.apk on geesun's code for grouping of call logs. In other words, call logs are now grouped!
Some minor code changes.
Preferences to set contact picture size when viewing call log is in as well.
2.34:
Fixed issues with Groups management in general when the group names contain special characters such as single quotes (').
2.33:
Added some prefs to hide labels/numbers for Call Log, Contacts and
Favourites.
Also, when viewing a contact, you can now copy the name by long-pressing
on it.
2.32:
Fixed a self-introduced FC bug which happens if you choose a contact picture by using the Gallery/photo picker, and cancel it halfway.
Fixed an AOSP bug with "Display Groups" in Contacts always having an index off. See comments in github code for more information.
2.31
Fixed a bug whereby the temporary file created when taking a photo (for adding/editing of contact) will not get deleted if the user chooses to cancel his actions halfway.
Added copy when viewing a Contact information. Everything is copiable except for Ringtone and Groups. Thanks to vinz0r for suggestion. Screens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5242285&postcount=362
Added preference for showing "Text" action for mobile numbers only. The code was actually 1/2 done already, I believe by ChainsDD! Thanks to nolageek for suggestion.
2.3:
Fixed a bug with the first group not showing up when editing a Contact's group membership. For example, if you have College, Fun, and XDA as your groups, College will not show up. Thanks to G1sanju for reporting. It's an old bug, since the first time groups management was implemented actually.
Added the ability to take a picture using the camera directly (instead of selecting from Gallery only) when adding/editing a contact. Again, thanks to G1sanju for suggesting. Screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5239577&postcount=352
2.21:
Added more options for the clearing of call logs. You can now clear all incoming, all outgoing or all missed calls. Thanks to xdan for the suggestion. Screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5232303&postcount=325
2.2:
Fixed a tiny bug when adding/removing a contact from groups.
Reduced haptic feedback from 50ms to 30ms so your fingers are no longer hurt .
Implemented ability to Manage Groups. You can now Add, Delete, and Remove groups. System Groups and Starred in Android are shown, but are not editable though. Access this by pressing Menu in either Contacts or Favourites. Screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5229669&postcount=308
Updated preferences, you can choose whether you are asked before deleting groups.
2.11:
"Fixed" an FC when viewing certain contacts. Not really mine or AOSP's code, but rather some apps are saving Contact data wrongly. More info here: http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=890
2.10:
Added haptic feedback for dialer. Thanks to truemagic for the suggestion.
Fixed some layout bugs from the alphabetical separator backport.
2.01:
Fixed an FC bug which occurred if you try to make a "Direct Dial" or "Direct Message" shortcut. Thanks to g1lol for reporting.
Separators are now shown only in "Contacts" tab, and not anywhere else (eg, when creating a "Direct Dial" and you're asked to pick a contact).
Using some more code from AOSP master.
2.0:
Fixed groups being shown duplicated when editing contacts. Thanks to acrawl1 for reporting.
Fixed FC bug when adding contacts, and green dial button not dialing in call log. Self-introduced bug :X. Thanks adair for reporting.
A few other layout tweaks, and some minor code changes. Eg. Green dial button was shown when adding contacts, fixed it already.
Alphabetical separators in Contacts. It's changeable, in case you don't like it. Screenshot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5204491&postcount=187
1.96:
Show contact pictures/Show dial button is now an individual setting for each tab (so you can customize it to your liking)
Keypad #1 can now be set to dial the usual voicemail, while Left Action Button does something else, eg. Google Voice. Thanks A|G for the suggestion.
No longer need to restart app to show/hide contact pictures.
Contact pictures can now be shown in call log. Green dial button can be hidden. In the case where green dial button is hidden, the incoming/outgoing/missed call arrows will replace the dial function, so you don't really miss out on anything. See pic for explanation:
More screens here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5202381&postcount=171
1.95:
Fixed the FC bug with Dream users when they slide out the keyboard while editting a contact. Thanks to shadowch31 for the logcats .
Don't have to update if you're using Sapphire/Magic. Important for Dream users.
1.94:
Fixed the issue with the digits colours not being set properly. Thanks MontAlbert for the help!
Contact picture size when viewing a contact is now configurable.
Cleaned up preferences, thanks camalot for the suggestion.
Added an About, thanks xiutian for the suggestion.
Screenshots: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5198786&postcount=128
1.92:
Fixed a bug which caused a contacts to be removed from all groups if you editted his info without choosing the "Groups" option (forgot to load the info).
1.91:
Added ability to use custom colors. (Screens/Info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5192706&postcount=86)
1.9:
Fixed a couple of FC bugs introduced with the group feature.
Added preferences to allow switching of digits colours. (Screens: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5191698&postcount=79)
1.8:
Clear Frequently Called is now hidden when "Hide Frequently Called" is selected. Thanks camalot for suggestion.
Setting group separators now use the same text as tabs (consistency, won't have Favorites in tabs and FavoUrites in settings anymore). Thanks again to camalot for the suggestion.
Added ability to add/remove contact from groups. I've tested it quite extensively, still, please report any bugs. Take note that even though you can deselect a contact from "My Contacts", the Contacts.apk by default (AOSP code) will always add it back to My Contacts. I *may* remove "My Contacts" from the list in future, but that's a low priority.
1.72:
Added option to allow disabling of number checking for dialer. What's number checking? Basically, previously, SMS/Add To Contacts will not be shown in the Menu in Dialer unless at least one digit is entered. Also, the left action button was disabled unless one digit is entered (except for voicemail). With number checking disabled, you'll always see them in menu, and left action button will always be enabled.
Added a drawable, custom_background_dialer.png in drawable-finger to allow a themeable background in Dialer. Thanks jairomeo for the suggestion. See the following screenshot for an example:
Don't worry, the Dialer is still black background by default. Just used camalot's display pic (nearest I could find ) as an example.
1.71:
Minor update to allow user to choose if he wants to be prompted before clearing frequently called.
1.7:
Added settings to hide contact pictures in contacts. Requires a restart of Contacts app though. Will fix in future (lowest-priority )
Added ability to show seconds as well when using exact times for call log.
Clear frequently called numbers is now available.
Added preference setting to hide frequently called numbers altogether.
Cleaned up the layout for Contacts a little (especially when hiding contact pictures).
1.62:
Small bugfix to fix the GTalk status icon in Contacts .
1.6:
Added call button beside for Contacts. Only contacts with numbers will have the dial button (see attached screenshot for idea). Also implemented it into preferences in case you want to turn it off. Note that this affects Favourites as well.
1.53:
Added ChainsDD's preferences. It's much better implemented than my previous one . Also has the same voicemail handlers as his now.
1.52:
Fixed a FC bug that some people reported. Thanks to regunus for the logcat, and a friend of mine for testing .
1.51:
Added the drawable for navigation (by me, I suck at graphics but hey.)
Fixed a small bug with Navigation showing even if Maps installed does not support it (non-issue really, everyone should be on 3.3.1 by now).
1.5:
Navigate to... is now an option when viewing a contact.
1.4:
Implemented function to clear all call logs of a particular name or number.
1.3 (151209):
Implemented a menu item to show total call time so far. Also added a prompt before call log is cleared. Screenshots added.
1.2:
Call log now shows actual time instead of relative time. For now it will default to 12 or 24-hour depending on your system settings. May make it an option to have configurable formatting options in future.
1.1:
Didn't know that github files were incomplete. Fixed.
Added new drawables for the SMS function.
Re-wrote SharedPrefs portion. Bug with Dialer not reading settings should hopefully be fixed now.
1.0:
Changed the version naming
Added SMS as an option for the left action button (in addition to voicemail and add to contacts).
141209:
Long-press on "Dial" button now activates voice dialer as well.
Delete button remains disabled until at least one number is entered. However, there's a known bug with this (see below).
As of 131209:
Added sensor-based rotation
Added preferences panel so you can choose whether to use voicemail or "add to contacts" for left action button
Recoded the "1", it'll show a voicemail symbol if you have voicemail. Also, long-pressing it if you do not have voicemail no longer does anything.

Awesome mod man, love it!
remove data worked perfectly now.
Ive been meaning to ask a dev working on this to see if this feature is hard to add or not. and in no way shape or form do i want my phone to be like an iphone but i like the feature. when you put the phone up to your ear the light goes out and when you move it down to hit the buttons it lights back up. Is this easy to code?
Jrbourque: From what I know iPhone does it using a proximity sensor, something which Magic and Dream does not have . Check out cytown's Phone.apk thread, I think someone asked for it before, there's some info there.

Thanks Wysie the v1.52 is working very well for me now.
Xenio
Thanks xenio! Finally figured out the FC !
hi.
when selecting mms as an option, the picture for the left action changes, but the button does nothing.
also, i get options for other voicemail handlers, even though they are not installed.
Hi pershoot,
The button will do something if you input at least one number . Secondly, I have yet to implement ChainsDD checking of voicemail handlers (low priority) for now. I'll get to that once I've added some more functions to my liking . Thanks!

yup, thx
could you also add phonefusion visual voicemail as an option, if it is not too much trouble?
pershoot: as what chainsdd said, we need the logcat with the intent . we'll definitely add it in once we get it .
Binary100100: For some reason your comment made me lol :X. I think I'm tired .
Can you please add the ability to consolidate the same names/numbers in the call log into one entry. For instance if number 123-456-7890 calls me 3 times, there would only be one entry, when clicked it would show all three and all the regular options (call, edit contact, etc) Some dialers on the market do this and was wondering if this can be accomplished here. Its very convenient and organizes the call log nicely. Thanks.
2 quick questions. 1. If we download the apk, can we just install it from say Astro and it will work, replacing the current dialer on our rom, without having to use terminal? and 2. Will this work on Wes Garner's Build 9? Thanks in advance

Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start]
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet

Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)
> You may also download more apps in electronic markets. You need to install the corresponding market (some can be downloaded in “Net Disk”), and then go get more apps.
> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
> Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
> How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
> How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
> Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
> Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
> Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
> Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
> Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.

> Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
> How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the sd card.

Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

MIUI In The News
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

No. Wimax LEDs are used for notifications. That's the LED on the right side of the ear piece.
And the team is getting prepared with the kernel.

Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME
Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager
Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow

Theme suggestion/request
Couldn't find a forum on your website, so I'll put this here and maybe someone ten times more capable than I will write it for you LOVE THIS APP.
I'd love to see an 'old school' theme for us middle-aged farts who grew up with rotary dial phones and granddads who worked on the old mechanical switching equipment. A skin which turns the dial pad into the old rotary style, and if you wanted to get really fancy, when you hit the <call> button it plays a little animation which rotates the ring and clicks in the patterns of the number entered. I know there are similiar apps out there that do this, but not one that works WITHIN Rocket Dialer.

That is cool , actually we considered about that style before but current design only works for square dial buttons ... May add the old school style in future.
Thanks for giving suggestions here .

I've been using RocketDial for awhile. It works very well after you take the time to go through the custom settings to tweak things the way you want.
My only problem is I have never figured out a way to change the "Dialing" background. It has a picture of a flower.
I can change the caller ID background but I can't figure out how to change the "Dialing" background. Can anyone help?
Okay, I finally figured it out. See attached screenshots that walk you through it, and the final screenshot which shows my new (custom) background picture.
Ultimate Call Screen HD
HD Full Screen Caller ID, Video Caller ID, Fullscreen SMS receiver and Call Blocker. The most complete fullscreen caller ID replacement and phone toolbox on Google Play, feature leader on its class, UCS is much more than a simple call ID app with big pictures. UCS combines:
- Fullscreen Caller ID replacement with true HD pictures of your contacts
- Full Screen Video ID
- FullScreen SMS notifications
- Fullscreen SMS Browser, including threaded mode
- Fullscreen Missed Calls notifications
- Unprecedented theming options, including 11 free themes
- Contact picture manager
- Call Blocker
- Sensor-base actions such as rejecting calls by turning the phone screen-down
- AND configurable swipe gestures just to be sure you handle your phone any way you want to.
As recommended on www.lifehacker.com:
"The features of this app are almost too numerous to list, but if you use your phone to make phone calls (you know, that thing it was originally intended for), it's a must-have."

In one app, you get:
- Choose pictures from gallery, camera or link to Facebook friends using their HD profile pictures
- Choose Videos from your gallery to use as full screen caller ID
- Apply pictures to contacts directly from your gallery, with the android "share" function. Just choose "Add to UCS"!
- Answer calls with buttons, sliding buttons, rotary buttons, swipe gestures... You choose!
- Configure your phone to hangup calls, put on speaker or mute ringer simply by turning the phone screen-down!
- Swipe gestures (reject and answer calls, reject with sms, reply to sms, ...)
- Fully featured Call blocker
- Fullscreen SMS receiver
- Fullscreen Missed Calls Notifications, with dismiss, callback and answer functions, and configurable swipe gestures
- Complete theme support for both call and SMS screens, personalizable per contact
- Picture syncing of HD pictures to phone internal contacts
- Privacy Screen: hide incoming call and SMS details from prying eyes until it's safe to pick-up/read
Advanced Features:
- Use your current android contact picture as fullscreen caller ID (Licensed only!)
- Selectively enable only for outgoing/incoming calls
- Sync your android contact database to use your UCS-defined callscreen HD pictures, or batch-upload a set of pictures from your sdcard
- Hide parts of the call screen for cleaner interface.
- Option to make incoming SMS show above lockscreen, including turning the screen on
- Missed calls viewer
- You can ALWAYS go back to the default phone interface during a call, simply by pressing the phone "Back" while on a call
- Much MUCH more! Take a look through the available settings!
Getting Started and Important Notes
- To use the dialpad and other in-call functions, press the "Back" button on a call to bring up the default phone interface! Due to security restrictions imposed by Google, it's impossible for me to provide a working dialer during an ongoing non-VoIP call.
- In version V5.0.0 and upwards, the model of the free version changed due to userbase request. Almost all functions are available, but there is a personalizable contact limit.

- Added a "Tips and Tricks" section to preferences.
V 1.2.4
- fixed the issue where some people would get the status bar cover part of the caller name. There should be no fullscreen issues now.
- When you press back on Contact Manager or Theme Manager, you will now go back to UCS Preferences (would exit UCS before)
- Remember position on contact list: when you exit a detailed contact view, the list will start from that contact, not from the beginning. (yes, was annoying)
- Press visual feedback on UCS buttons (change color when pressed)
V 1.2.3
- Option to show on-screen "set on loudspeaker" button
- Option to show/hide status bar on lockscreen: people with problems where the status bar shows anyway, and hides part of the caller ID, set this OFF as a workaround!
- Option to give haptic feedback (vibrate) on UCS key presses
- FIX: Hopefully motorola people will stop having FCs when saving pictures
- Optimized memory footprint
- Removed unnecessary "save" option after saving an image on the editor
V 1.2.0
- Added theming capability, and a Theme Manager, for Licensed users only! Search for "UCS Suave theme" in google play to see it in action, and I will be doing a lot more themes in the near future.
- Changed answer/call buttons for a more polished look.
- Fixed issues with rare random crashes while viewing detailed contact info.
V 1.1.0:
- Removed restriction on editing pictures only on portrait, it now serves as simple rotate feature: turn the phone to landscape when editing pictures, and on saving, UCS will rotate the visible area to portrait. So UCS still shows exactly what you cropped and are seeing, plus it rotated the original image.
- Fixed race condition that lead to a very "rare" FC (thanks to whoever reported the crash to google play)
- Changed application icon
V 1.0.1:
- Restrict image editing and cropping to portrait mode to avoid FC until I rework it
V 1.0.0:
- Initial release
Theming guide
This is a tutorial on how to build themes for UCS. You will need the Android SDK and Eclipse installed and setup.
I provide an Eclipse project which you can use as base and example to give you a quick startup. Note that there are other ways to do this without eclipse, but I won't get into that. But it is not enough to open the apk and just drop images into there (unless you decompile it, recompile it, and sign it). Well, at least not enough to use the full power of the theming engine: you won't be able to change text size, element position, and other stuff without recompiling.
Take the attached eclipse project and import it. (please don't ask how to do this, there are numerous tutorials on how to setup eclipse/android SDK, and that is not the purpose of this post/thread).
Template Eclipse Project: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.tar.gz
Alternatively, here is the compiled apk from the project above: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.apk
The apk is useful if you just want to change some images, and also if you use some of the toolkits around here in xda to decompile/compile apks. In fact, you don't actually need Eclipse to completely change the template: use something like ApkManager, and just decompile the apk.
The theming does not involve java programming, that's why it works so nice with a decompiler: no smali editing. All you need for theming is replacing drawables, and editing xml files.
When starting, take a look at the files in:
res/drawables/
res/values/
The xml files in the drawables folder point to the actual images in /res/drawable-hdpi, and those are what you want to change
The xml files in res/values control everything from text color to element placing. Take special attention to integers.xml, I inserted comments on it to make clearer what every key does.
Play around with this, run it with the "run as android application" command with your phone connected to your PC if you're using Eclipse. Getting the offsets just the way you wanto to can be tricky.
When you're done, just export as signed application and share it here if you feel like it!
Cheers
As always....brilliant.....

Great work like ever, tried it on latest reaper and it will become my default call screen
Great work lowveld! Using it on reaper now, but just to clarify, if i want to turn on speaker and so on I have to go back to the default one?
I don't know how you do it, you're way to talented dude
Cheers!

Yep, I believe that you must hit the back button to return to normal dialer and then enable speaker from there.
Great. Will check it on my sgsii und give you feedback

Is it too early for future functionality requests?
Please incorporate a backup and restore option, so that the custom linkages and pictures can be saved across ROMs. In the meantime how can I manually backup these, will titanium do? or is there an SD card directory?

You can safely backup with titanium and restore to the same rom with no issues. Across roms you can't do that, because the internal android contact database changes.
Its never too early for requests, ill try to figure out a way around this!

One thing i would like to see on ucs is the ability to rotate the pictures, if I'm allowed to make a feature request.
I came across this, because i have a picture i rotated myself at the gallery, but if i import it to ucs it isn't rotated, i know it can easily be solved with another app, but it would be nice if ucs takes to rotation from gallery or if i would be able to rotate it myself.

Ben, let me rephrase my earlier answer: if you use titanium to restore both the contacts database and UCS, when restoring both to another rom all should be ok with UCS internal contact mapping. But you know how I feel about restoring system data across roms, so I'll try to come up with a better solution.

Hey mate!
Well, I will surely look into this. Plus, your request lead me to identify the first bug in ICS, and I just uploaded version V1.0.1 because of you, so thanks for that! (the bug was that if you tried using the image editor/cropper on landscape mode, it would FC on saving the image).
But I got a bit confused about your "maybe to crop them" part of the request. Currently you can zoom in and out of any picture, move it around, and when saving, UCS will crop the image to what is showing on the screen (minus the buttons of course). You can use either the in-screen zoom buttons, or regular multi-touch (pinch to zoom), and simple dragging to move the picture around.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough about this before...
Cheers
Excellent, a new version
In response to the rotate request, it's +1 that world be really useful
Crop not needed, as you said already multi touch, although it would be good if when you're on the resize image screen, if there were lines at the top and bottom of the screen indicating the size that the image has to be stretched to, as I like the top and bottom that show the calling number and buttons not to also have the image behind (hope that makes sense).

backup/restore question
Does the UCS app make and store a copy of the edited pictures or simply keep a link to the original pictures?
As, I've created a new directory on my sd card simply for my UCS pictures, so could any backup function you create simply map the existing contacts to their UCS contact picture file path, it would be incredible if it would also remember the sizing settings for each image.

Hey,
Yeah, I think I got what you meant. Showing guidelines to tell the user where the caller ID interface elements will actually show would be possible, I guess. But it would be a pain for you to align the picture. Actually I never thought that it could be used that way (with black headers and footers instead of fullscreen pic).
Anyway, what about a compromise meanwhile: I give the option to instead of those semi-transparent rectangles that show beneath the buttons and contact numbers/names, paint it black. What do you think? The end result will be what you want, I guess, but you should scale the images to fullscreen, and sort of guess where the black will be.
The reason I'm reluctant to add guidelines or whatever to the cropper, is because I'm trying to figure out a way to let the user change the position of those elements on the call screen, and it would become inconsistent on that case. Ok, I'm rambling now...
Cheers

UCS saves the final cropped image you assign to a contact, and that's the one that will be used from there on. You can even delete the original, no harm done.
There's no need for you to create another backup dir on the sdcard: the saved files are on the app own directory, and will be saved by Titanium backup. If you still want to keep sort of a catalog of what you use, so clean installs of UCS on other roms go faster, just copy the .jpg files from /data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files
Mapping the picture to contacts is a different matter, and the main difficulty regarding a save/restore functionality. I'll have to really think hard on how to achieve this...
Cheers, and thanks for the input!
On thinking about it, forget about guidelines, just don't make the backgrounds at the top and bottom of the screen semi transparent, if possible make this colour/transparency configurable through options? I'd prefer none so you gave full screen pictures, with number and buttons simply overlaid, you could even have the colour of the text of the calling number configurable
Last request for today, promise, night

Fair enough. Let me see what I can do
Cheers, and good night.
I present here a new app.
It allows you to choose up to eight contacts, which will be shown in a notification or a configurable sidebar. Tapping the contacts will allow you to call, message, whatsapp, email or many other things. This allows a faster workflow when you need to call someone when you are doing other things.
Just install the apk, open the Contacts Notification app, choose your contacts and press update.
The notification will automatically appear after a reboot, so you only need to do this once or to change your favorite contacts.
I promise I am not storing or doing anything with your contacts.
Market link:
Contacts notification +sidebar
Custom themes:Go to your sdcard, folder ContactsNotification/overlays.
There create a folder, for example, mytheme.
Into that theme add a border.png, sms.png and phone.png file. They must be 500x500px png files. pohne.png and sms.png must have border if you want it to show. A sample file, called "holo by dapaua.zip" is included.
To show the sidebar (if enabled) , just slide your finger over the trigger area.
Code:
TASKER support.
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ACTION_NAME
Where ACTION_NAME is:
POST_NOTIFICATION. Posts or refreshes the notification
HIDE_NOTIFICATION. Hides the notification
ENABLE_SET_A. Enables contact set A. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
ENABLE_SET_B. Enables contact set B. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
Use of this command line with Tasker:
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_A.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_B.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B
Use these two tasks to change the sets on the notification. You can use it with a timer, or position, or whatever. I am not going to explain how tasker works. I implemented this because I was asked to and I found it interesting.

Should show facebook too. It should show all linked accounts and services for the contacts.
I'll add screenshots next week.
Updates
I added the market link, it'll work in some hours, according to google. Also added the required screenshots. Enjoy.
Nice idea but shame it's only for ICS. I still have Atrix on Gingerbread. :/
Cute and quick!
Since no text is displayed, for most contacts, I only have the default avatar-icon. So it alternates two gray-scales but that does not tell me the contacts.
For contacts with no avatar or picture, could have or text (may be option with pic as well!) or a way to choose one of a few icons. Of course, I should just take some pictures and use them.
BTW, one of Nokia's weird half-touch GUIs used such a scheme for its contacts.

You are right, I am thinking about showing text for contacts with no picture.
But you should definitely add pictures to your contacts. They will show on all your android devices, and even on your computer if you use gmail. I know that it is a time investment to set all your contact info, merging all contacts (you know "dad home", "dad mobile" ) . But it will make your phone much more useful if you do.
I didn't know Nokia phones did that.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I just checked out both your apps at the play store. Great ideas and potential.
Keep up!
I don't know if it's just my phone/set up (Evo 4G, Evervolv JB nightly 02/18/2013), but when I tap the icon in the notification drawer, I have to pull the drawer up manually to get to that contact; if this is how it's supposed to work, it'd be helpful if it automatically pulled the shade up so your contact is waiting there for you. Other than that, cool app and very handy!

It should automatically fold the notification drawer. It did in my trials. I don't know why is it not working for you.
Another idea: Than 4-5 would be too much but the alternative for those who really do want more would be ... slide 'em. I think Nokia's widget works that way.

I could add more contacts, I just thought four were enough. In my screen more than four wouldn't fit, though.
I cannot make them slide, because notifcations cannot be laterally scrolled. They can be expanded in JB, but I don't have a JB phone to try it, and the emulator doesn't really work properly.
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nice app! I have two feature requests:
1. Can you remove the icon in status bar? I like to see the carrier name and on my AT&T Samsung GS3 your app icon replaces that.
2. Could you add a feature to configure a default action for a contact such as "call mobile" or "call home" or "sms", etc? I'd like to just hit the icon and have it start dialing. If you can do this you want want to add some overlay text or an icon to indicate the action (a phone or text icon).

Great app with a lot of potential.
Some suggestions (also mentioned by some other users)
1.Give option to show or not the icon in taskbar
2.Allow to choose default actions when icon is pressed for direct calling
3.Give option to show selected contacts OR latest contacts from call log (it will give the program a call notification function also) !
4.Fix the total look especially in the settings and a quick way to access them (maybe put small settings icon-half size,before the 5 contact pictures.
5.Translate it If you want Greek i can do it for you
Thanks and keep up the good work :good:

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
[Q]: What is the difference between Textra and Google Messenger?
[A]: A Comprehensive and Thorough User Level Comparison Review of Google's "Messenger" VS Delicious Inc.'s "Textra SMS"
It has also occurred to me that many users don't actually know the difference between the two (other than the fact that Textra comes with a dark skin default which is changeable). So I have taken the time to compare the many different abilities and functions that each app provides in comparison to each other (at user level).
I hope that you find this informative enough to make a decision in the future as to which you would prefer. So without further delay, I present to you my review.
Now many of you may not care about the messaging app as you've selected Hangouts to be your default SMS receiver. For those of you like myself however that prefer SMS messages to be kept separate from hangouts, this may be of good use to you.
So to the Left we have Messenger and to the Right we have Textra.
Right off the bat you will notice that Textra does a full system theme where your status bar coloring is altered to reflect the theme (as with most of our apps including our Kit Kat stock Message) where as in Messenger it remains untouched.
You will also notice that the contact icons in Messenger are slightly larger than those appearing in Textra which I personally feel would limit the amount of text being displayed due to the "create a new message" button covering the last recent message. Yet the font is slightly larger in that of the Textra app making it easier to read which is what we care about most in a messaging app.
Both layouts appear to be nearly identical with exception to color.
Here we have an example where a single message has been long pressed.
In Messenger, the message selected is indicated by a slight discoloration of the field in which the text inhabits along with changing the contact icon to a Blue Checkmark (which only deselects the message if pressed). Notice also the create a new message icon disappears (as it is not needed for this current function).
In Textra, the message selected is indicated by a highlighted check mark that shuffles in from the left of the message (shuffling the message dates to the right off screen). Additionally, the create a new message button in the bottom right corner becomes a grayed out Checkmark which when pressed, changes color and selects every message currently in the chat summary. However, there is no Archive function built into Textra as there is in Messenger which for some of you, very well may be a deal breaker as you may actually use that function (I don't).
The options that appear above in Messenger are that of cancel (go back), Archive, Delete, and options.
The options that appear above in Textra are that of cancel (go back) Silence notifications, delete, and options.
In the following two images, we see what a multi message selections looks like in both Messenger on the left, and Textra on the right.
Immediately in Messenger, the options button vanishes and converts into simply silence notifications (as that is apparently the only multi message function it can perform).
However in Textra, the options to silence, delete, and "options" remain.
I have gone and deselected one of the messages in both Messenger and Textra so that we can compare and explore the options that are presented for a selected message (since it disappears in Messenger if multiple messages are selected). However, I have included the multi selected messages in Textra also so that you can see the options remain unchanged.
To the left, Messenger displays the only options to be Silencing notifications (which for some reason was not available until multi messages were selected) Add contact which adds the person to your contacts if not already, and block or “blacklisting” (which prevents you from receiving their messages).
To the Right, Textra displays Notifications Settings, Bubble Color settings, Delivery Report settings, Signatures, and black listing. Keep in mind also that silencing notifications is already present in the main window as well.
Since we pretty much already know what Notifications off, add contact, and block do, we will go over them through Textra while we explore the additional options it has to offer in the next images to follow.
We now are looking at the notifications settings specifically for the selected messages. What you will notice, is that in Textra you can define message/people specific themes, options, and settings.
In here you can enable or disable notifications on the main page.
Tap Notifications allow you to select the action to be taken when you tap a message notification from that specific message/person. You can choose to open a floating quick reply window that will disappear after you send a message and resume whatever activity you were currently doing, or you can have it open textra like most stock messaging apps will do.
Floating notifications settings will allow you to decide the duration of the pop up notification for that specific contact (should you decide to have pop up notifications in the previous setting)
Notification Icon Settings allows you to decide what color that selected contact/message should appear in. As you can see, there are 44 different color options to choose from (wow!)
LED Blink Color is an awesome option for phones that support it. You have the ability to specify what color your selected message/contact should appear in when you have received a message from them. While our device doesn't support every color listed, I have taken the liberty of providing you with the huge variety of LED colors that actually do work for our device: Green & Red.
Default Notification sound although "says" Ringtone, actually pulls from your notifications folder (like it's supposed to).
Vibrate Settings allow you to set specific vibration instructions for that particular selected contact/message.
Now, if you've elected to allow vibrations, you can go so far as to even select contact/message specific vibrate patterns!
Wake Up Screen options allow you to decide whether or not a message from that particularly selected individual should wake your phone and turn screen on or not.
Repeat notifications let's you decide how often your phone should harass you for not checking or acknowledging the newly received message per contact/person. Hey if it's mom you may actually want it to keep telling you her message is waiting to be seen
This ends all the options available for Notifications.
Backing out now we select the option to go into Bubble Colors for the specific contact/message. You can decide what color your text bubbles should be in, and what color their text bubbles should be in. Check it out, you have 42 color options
This ends the options available for Bubbles.
Backing out now we select the option for Delivery Reports
Here you can decide if you want to receive a report for a MMS or SMS message successfully received by the end user's device to which you sent a message to. Very handy for those who claim they never got your message or simply informative to you for those who honestly didn't receive it and perhaps should be called.
This ends the options available for Delivery Reports.
Backing out now we select the option for Signatures to be displayed in your messages to these specifically selected individuals. After having opted to include a message, you can edit and create your own. Note that after confirming your new signature, the signature displayed looks overwritten but a quick back out and back in to the Settings will provide you with visual proof of the correct change. (This is likely a glitch they are probably working out).
This ends the options available for Signatures.
Backing out and selecting the Blacklist option will immediately BlackList (block) those messages selected from ever being received to your device again. Don't worry however, as this can be undone by going to the main settings for the app outside of these message specific options we've explored through this review. Pay no mind to the fact that I just blacklisted my mother-in-law by "accident"
Deselecting all the contacts in both Messenger (Hey what was this app for again?) and Textra, we are now able to enter their Primary App Options via the same options button to the top right of both apps.
Notice that since Messenger has Archive functions, you are able to go into your Archived Messages as seen in the image above. Since I don't have any messages archived, none will appear but if you had used it to Archive them, that is where you would find them. This is the same feature that is present in Google Hangouts where you can archive a conversation for later viewing (and to keep it out of your primary chat summary).
On the main page you will see a search button (magnifying glass). Perhaps you had a conversation with someone a long time ago in your messages about a certain topic but can't remember who it was or when it took place. To easily recall that conversation, you can type in a word or phrase used in the message as indicated in these examples.
A very crucial thing here to note, is that Messenger will only highlight and provide you with the very last time the subject was ever discussed and take you back to that moment in time via clicking on it.
Textra however, will display a brief message from each and every time that particular subject was discussed and take you to that exact moment in time you were looking for by clicking on the specific search result.
Since it will be extremely brief, due to the minimal activity taking place in this app, we will go ahead and explore the main options taking place in Google's Messenger App first.
As you can see, aside from having 0 message specific settings, only very little remains for any of the global settings. Whether or not you want notifications for all incoming messages, one specific sound for all, whether or not all vibrate or don't, and your typical MMS settings which appear in every MMS app.
Now in Textra's Main Global Options/Settings, we see all the following choices.
Many of these you recognize from the per message/contact options/settings we covered earlier. These will be the primary settings to take place globally in no settings are specified per contact/message.
We will only cover those that were not covered in the individual settings.
Under the "About" option, selecting "What's New?" will give us a detailed change log for all the advancements Textra has made per release.
Enable Debugging is set for times when Textra provides support to you for an issue related to their app (wow)
Tell your friends allows you to share the playstore link for this app via a variety of different sharing options.
Resync Textra does what it says: Basically re-syncs all your messages should you have strayed away experimenting with other apps that intercept messages and wish to return to stability It will re-sync everything for you without changing any of your settings.
This ends the About Options.
Backing back out into Settings you'll notice a support button. Click this and you will have the option to contact the developers directly with any issues you may have that aren't listed in their provided Q&A/FAQ listed below. They also provide a button to tap to link directly to their Feedback Forum (yeah, they have one).
This ends the Support Options.
Backing back out into the main Settings, there is a Customize Look menu. Here you can change the text size of the fonts being viewed as presented in the image above.
You can also change the Dark Mode Settings to "Off", Dark (default) and Black.
In Theme color, you can change the overal theme color of the entire app! You have 40 selectable themes to choose form. Take notice of the checkmark and circle color of each theme you select. It is the color of your secondary colors like menu option font color, check boxes, etc.
Under the Default Notifications Settings, the only difference you'll see that wasn't discussed before is whether or not floating notifications will appear while the phone is both locked and unlocked (or duration of the notifications).
All the other settings are global and as mentioned before, work for all those who don't have individually set settings.
This ends our exploration of the Settings options.
Now, we go into a message as it appears in Messenger.
Uh oh, my chat window with my buddy Justin is in Pink and White?? Gee thanks Google.. Apparently, Google thought it would be cute to pre-select random theme colors per conversation in your messages. There is no way to change the color options as they appear in this conversation nor can you change any of your chat bubble colors or font sizes.
Long pressing a message as indicated in the second picture above yields a couple options. Delete that single post, return to the chat, Forward that post to another contact, or information regarding that post (type, from, to, sent, received).
There is no multi selection option, there is no swiping side to side for additional options or navigations. However options for the entire message is present without post selection.
Now in Textra, I'm happy to say that I have assigned this theme to the chat with my buddy and I.
Pressing on his image pulls up his personal info and gives me the option to call.
Swiping from left to right in the chat window sends me right back into my main chat summary.
Swiping from right to left however, will display the exact time and date of every sent and received message regardless of the time interval between as indicated in the 3rd image.
Long pressing a message gives me the option to multi-select individual posts where I can either trash them, send them all as a new message to someone in my contacts, forward the messages to another contact, copy the text, lock the individual posts, or share in an email Man I love options!
This concludes my review of both Textra VS Messenger.
I hope you have found it enlightening and will have taught you how to operate either app like a pro by the time Lollipop roms surface.
Guess now I should go and un-blackllist my Mother-In-Law
