doest install on xperia x10

Refuses to install on x10 mini

works on my samsung galaxy s, however after clicking the pickup call button, i still have to unlock it the basic way (Slide it) to listen to the call. Is there anyway to disable that?

anyway to make the caller pic bigger like on the iphone

finally, a decent app works perfect on the htc evo with no problems,
would be a nice to customize the answer and end buttons so it goes well with peoples themes etc.
but good job dev.

This feature is planned for the full release, along with many other customizations. The current version is 0.7.9.1 so I recommend you download from the market, as it includes an automatic crash reporter to help me sort out bugs and other fixes.
I have found a much better way of overriding the incoming call screen (sort of hacky right now) which will be implemented in version 0.8.0. This will make the app much more stable and efficient and the call screen will open much more consistently.
Also included in version 0.7.9.1 is the addition of admob ad banners on the settings page (there are NO banners on the actual call screen). This is mostly to support the development of this app during its beta stages. Eventually the app will be paid with the possibility of a free, ad-supported version. The paid version will not be appearing very soon, though, as the app is far from ready. Keep in mind, the beta versions of this app do not represent the final product. They are only for feedback and testing. Thanks

Awesome application!!!

Sweet! Also, just a question. I see the Google Code page has a Source tab but there's nothing in it. Is this going to be Open Source or is that tab showing just an accident?
EDIT: Just saw you plan a paid version, so I doubt you're releasing the source. Carry on!

Has Google Voice text option been added yet? I don't have texted on my normal number.

Not to insult his skills... but an hour may be a bit too soon to expect it done.

Not just SMS, but a blacklist straight to VM would be nice. Looks nice so far!

[APP][2.1+] RingDuration v4.0 [UPDATE:March 24]

Do you ever get missed calls and wonder if they were important or just “hang up calls”?
RingDuration is an Android app that shows you exactly how long your phone was ringing, for incoming and missed calls.
Also features a handy (optional!) taskbar notification to quickly show you the latest calls, right from the notification window!
For example, some people tend to call you and hang up without giving you a chance to answer; now you can catch them in the act! Or consider an unusually long ring time could mean an urgent call you missed.
Note: RingDuration supports multiple languages. Want your language featured in the app as well? Contact us to help translate!
Features
Simple and easy to use
Ready to use right out of the box – No configuration necessary (actual box sold separately )
Enhanced notification window – View latest missed calls quickly right from the notification window. See our screenshots!
Fun Badges – Who is your Most Determined Caller? Who will get The Speedy Award?
Minimal resource use – There is no process running in the background, no services to slow down your device – RingDuration is active only briefly during an incoming call, and of course, when you use the main app.
Safe to use – No dangerous or suspicious permissions. RingDuration does not require a rooted phone, nor does it require dialing permissions. Therefore you can rest assured RingDuration will not misbehave.
Call them back quickly - Optionally, dial back right from the app. Note that this does NOT require dialing permissions; RingDuration will bring up your system dialer and automatically fill in the number, so you can check, confirm, cancel or change the call.
Highly configurable – Easily tweak RingDuration to work exactly the way you want it.
If you like our app, please help us with a good rating and comment in Google Play. There's nothing quite like knowing our efforts help someone out there, and it gives us the motivation to continue
Support
If you run into any problems using RingDuration, please tell us and we'll do our best to help. As you probably know, it's not possible to provide support through Google Play- so contact me directly either at elemris.com/contact-us or here on XDA. Thanks for your feedback and support!

Nice. But can you make one by which we can give a missed call? I mean, an app that automatically disconnects an outgoing call after a few rings.

Thanks
Can't you just dial normally and press the End Call button whenever you want? Or did you mean something else?

Elemris, Thanks for this. Have been using it for a while now, but just came in to thank you
And of course, (as with all thanks) make a request too!
Would it be possible to call back the person by clicking on the line in the logs or call the last caller by clicking on the item in the drop down notification? Not necessary but maybe useful. Don't bother if its a pain and/or the app size is going to increase drastically.
Another thing is ... I normally change/update my rom quite often. Would be nice if after a change or update, when RingDuration is activated any time either manually or by a missed call, the call log is updated. That is, the previous missed calls are automatically picked up from the call log.
Thanks once again

I can't say no to such a nice request and a good idea So I'll prioritize this feature request.

Interesting as well, I'll see what can be done about it.
Thank you for the feedback!

We released version 2 of RingDuration. This release includes dialing functionality based on Paparasee's suggestion, and some other improvements. If anyone doesn't like dialing, you can choose what to do when you click a log entry via a new setting. Currently options are either to dial back, or to do nothing; there may be more options in the future.
It's important to note that we implemented dialing in a safe way- RingDuration does NOT dial by itself, it invokes the system dialer. That means the user gets the chance to confirm the call, so no accidental calls. Also, I am personally suspicious of apps that request "Dialing Permissions", so RingDuration will never request them.
The new version is now on the Android Market (http://market.android.com/details?id=com.elemris.ringduration) - check it out and let us know what you think!

New update release
New release!
Added a setting to let you change the FONT SIZE in the call log.
Faster loading, optimized screen layouts (to developers: try the new Android Lint, it's very useful).
Lots of minor fixes and internal updates

Just installed on my Dads so he can see if i was just ringing for a call-back or to really reach him
Like it so far!

New version - RingDuration 3.0
Hello, a new version is now live on the Android Market.
This is version 3.0, a major release with plenty of fixes and improvement:
New "Fun Badges" - find out who your Most Determined Caller is, and who gets The Speedy Award!
Complete rewrite of data storage - more efficient, supports larger call logs. NOTE: Old RingDuration log entries will NOT transfer to the new version.
"Share" RingDuration with friends! Just click menu button.
Added Hebrew language translation.
"Clear Log" action no longer requires application restart.
Lots of other smaller improvements
This release turned out to pack more features than we planned... we hope you'll enjoy it
As of version 3.0, RingDuration fully supports multiple languages, and we now accept language translations.
Want RingDuration in your language too? Contact us to help translate it!
If you like our app, please help us with a good rating and comment in the Market. There's nothing quite like knowing our efforts help someone out there, and it gives us the motivation to continue. Thank you for your continued support!

Seen using CN 1.0.0 B2 till the latest version. No complain and No regret to use this as my daily notifier. Rated this thread and Google Play 5 star for appreciation.
Once again. Keep up the good work!

I have been looking for this! Installed, testing, will see how it goes. I am more than willing to buy / donate when an app proves that it works. Thank you

Hi, thanks for this good app. Please continue the good work.
I noticed a bug since the latest update: now I was forced to close the reminder window because it was stuck (either if you click snooze or dismiss, it's the same problem).
Before this update, the reminder window closed itself properly, just after you clicked snooze or dismiss.
Hope you can fix this.
Best regards.

I had that too! It needed to presses to dismiss and then it did an FC. I thought it was my humble little phone.
And it is fixed! Outstanding, great support.
The other feature I really appreciate is that the Notifier works on calendars that are not visible. I have one named "hidden" that has daily reminders of little things that I forget, but the Notifier picks up ALL alarms in ALL calendars.
Perfect app, more than I had hoped it would do. I bought the unlock, thank you

[APP][Android 2.3+] Simplest Reminder

I forget things quite easily so I have been using my phone for years to help me remember about certain tasks I need to do. I tried few applications but did not fall in love with any. They are often too complex and require too many steps to create a reminder / note.
Therefore I decided to make my own. I learned the basics of Android development and spent 2 months developing "Simplest Reminder". I was working on and off and only during my free time which was just a few hours a day at most.
Without further delay I present my first android application :laugh:
It is available for free, with NO ads, in the Play Store:
Here are the screenshots:

If you notice any issues please let me know instead of leaving 1 star review. I will get back to you and solve the issue ASAP.
If you can think of any improvements don't hesitate to post them here.
Again, app is available for free without any ads here

UPDATE, May 22: I now have a donation version of my application in store. It is located here: Simplest Reminder (Donate)
If you like my application please consider buying the "donate version". Both apps have the same features so buying my app ($ 0.99) is just a way of saying Thank You for my hard work.
UPDATE, October 16 2013: Donate version has just became PRO version with new, exciting features based on user feedback. Simplicity has not been compromised but functionality has been greatly improved.
It is available at the same URL: Simplest Reminder Pro so that anybody who donated to me gets free upgrade. Thanks to the bunch of you who supported me with nice words and especially those who bought my app! I hope you all enjoy the new features
Here is a list of new features in the Pro version:
- Recurring reminders. Choose between daily, weekly, monthly, or annually
- Pop Up dialog. This can be disabled in Settings
- New, analog style Time and Date pickers inspired by Google Calendar's app
- Self-repeating reminders. Reminder will repeat itself every 10 minutes so you don't miss it. This can be disabled or interval can be changed in Settings
- LED light notifications. This can also be disabled in Settings
- Swipe notification away to delete reminder. This can also be disabled in Settings
- Swipe notification away to dismiss recurring reminder
- Help screen
- Improved user interface and performance
Pro screenshots:
UPDATE, October 17: APK for free version uploaded as per user request. This is for people who can't use Google Play for any reason.
UPDATE, October 18: Version 1.8 of the Simplest Reminder Free has been released. I refreshed the looks to be as nice as the look in the Pro version. I updated the screenshots in this thread.
UPDATE, Nov 12 2014: Version 2.1.1 of the Simplest Reminder Free has been released. I fixed bunched of things and added minor improvements such as ability to choose more sounds.
Pro version now has Pop Up dialog option.
UPDATE, Dec 2 2014: Version 2.6.2 of the Simplest Reminder Pro has been released. I added new, analog style Time and Date pickers inspired by Google Calendar's app. They make picking date and time much easier and they look great too! I attached new screenshots.
Thanks for your interest!

Hey Teadious. What country are you in, if I may ask. I can enable it. For now only US and Poland are enabled. The reason is that my app uses this time format: 12/25/2013 which is standard in the US but not other countries (not even in Poland but I enabled Poland because other tester is there )
Thanks again for your interest.
EDIT: I enabled ALL countries. It will take couple hours for the changes to take effect.

I love this app! :cyclops:

Thank You all for the support. In just one day the number of installations went from 6 to 24! Awesome.

I spent few hours recently trying to find a very frustrating bug in my application that was causing reminders not to go off under certain circumstances.
I found a potential issue, fixed it and pushed updated version 1.2 to the Google Play yesterday.
I really hope that it will permanently fix it! However, if for any reason a reminder doesn't go off for you it would be very helpful if you could provide some details here or PM me (version 1.2 and up only).
Thanks!
EDIT: Just pushed version 1.3 to the market because there still was a bug. Third time a charm... Hope it is gone for good!

Today I pushed 2 updates to the market.
Version 1.4 is meant to put an end to the mysterious bug causing reminders not to go off (I am 100% confident I nailed it this time and it turns out it was not even a bug but rather a missing feature, lol - simply put, the alarms were not set after phone reboot [Android OS removes all alarms on phone reboot])
Version 1.5 introduces new option in the settings panel - now you can decide if screen should be turned on when reminder goes off.

Thanks for sharing your work!
A nice feature would be, if we can decide Yes/no Notification Sound per reminder.
So one is with notification sound as set up in settings, one without because of not beeing so important.

While this is a nice feature, I don't think I will be implementing anything that would add complexity or increase number of taps required to create a reminder. The main goal of my application is being the simplest to use out of all reminder applications in the market.
There are many great applications in the market that have all that complexity and extra features including colors, note priority, sound per reminder, vibration per reminder, repeatable reminders etc. The reason why I don't use those apps is because setting up a reminder takes a minute or so.
I realize that limiting the number of features in my app may turn some users away but at the same time I am confident that it will be appealing to users who expect mobile apps to be simple and intuitive to use.
With all that being said, I really appreciate your feedback and please keep it coming. I may actually build another application based on Simplest Reminder that would have whole bunch of additional features.

Will give it a try! Teamed up with NotifyMe or such, could be very useful indeed.

Nice app, but how hard would it be to add some sort of calender view when picking a date?
So instead of scrolling, you just tap the date/day.
Would that make the app more complex?

can I get an .apk? I don't always have an active internet connection.

Great app, but I'm afraid that U.S. date format does my head in...

looks great!
going to try this on my s 3 i9300 with Paranoid Android 3.00 )

Awesome, just awesome and it looks beautfiul!
Thank you so much!

[APP][PREVIEW - released]Knock Me! - When silence can't speak!

UPDATE B: A new version is Up on Google Play Store as well as in this post's attachements (Knock Me Preview - revision 3)!
What's New?
#1 The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously.
#2 Uses system contact picker for assigning a contact to a knock word in "Selected Contacts" mode.
UPDATE A: Preview Version is Up on Google Play Store as well as in this post's attachements!
Important Instruction for this preview version: The knock word has to be sent without any spaces in the beginning or end, I noticed that some phone keyboards add spaces at the end of the word when you hit the auto-suggested word. This will be taken care of automatically in next update.
THE VIDEO:
Hi All! This is preview of an App I recently created, temporarily named as, Knock Me! - When silence can't speak!

When was the last time you lost your phone in your room and you kept calling it just to realize that you had put it on deep silent mode or when was the last time you were so busy that you checked your silent phone after a long time to see a stack of missed call notifications? Well worry no more, I have got a cool little App for you. So the idea is that, let's assume one of your friend has been calling you, your phone is silent and it's really urgent for him/her to contact you. So what he/she can do is send a knock word via SMS, the word could be - "urgent". Once the SMS is received by you, the next time when he/she calls you, your phone will ring ONLY for his/her number irrespective of your phone's sound setting.
couple of screenshots of the beta version is attached with this post, please check it out, any feedback will be much appreciated, including App name suggestion!
As of now, the features of the App are:
You can set 'knock words' for either all of your contacts, or starred contacts only, or for selected contacts.
You can change the active time of a knock word, that is, once a Knock word is received via SMS, the time for which the App will allow the number to ring your phone could be set by user.
You can set different keyword for different contacts.
Additional feature in future version:
When a call is received from a person multiple times, the phone will automatically send an SMS stating that the user's phone is now in silent/vibrate mode and if it's urgent he/she may send an SMS "urgent" and then call to ring.
Checking for pattern of words in SMS.
Configure the sound volume to ring at.
History of contacts who used knock words
History of contacts who have been trying to reach you a lot of times but didn't use Knock words (most likely that they don't know about it.)
You may expect integration with WhatsApp and other services' messages as an option.
The working App has been developed, to check it out in action, your call is at this thread tomorrow and your knock word is 'knock me!'.

can u add youtube video review about this app?

Yes, sure, I will have a video of the App in action uploaded soon. I have a SMS pack to spare a lot of SMSs

Waiting Eagerly

Wow, great idea. I am using already Extreme Call Blocker to do some similar things but this is a great idea to block specific people.
One other idea is to add time slots in it (good also for a good sleep, I have some people who like to call or send text messages during the night )

Knock me?

I really like the idea. Here's a suggestion
When the word is received and the ringer activates, would we have the ability to set ringer level or will it be set to high.

Knock me!

Ha! Thanks for Knocking the thread!
I was improving the code for a better UI/UX. I am afraid I may not be able to complete what I intended to do since the creation of the thread. So I have decided to launch the App in its current state with a 'Preview' tag slapped on. Will be available in next few hours.
@Rinoceros, either I am confused by your idea or you have misunderstand the idea of the App. Anyways, please do visit this thread in few hours and try out the App.
@rickmatic, very nice suggestion!

Knock Me!

Looks great, can't wait to try it out.
Edit : wondering if there's a possibility if you can include/integrate whatsapp texts into this along with sms.. Sorry if it's a stupid question, not sure how exactly it works

Knock me!....up? Wait what!? [emoji85]
Love the idea alone! Would be extremely useful for everyone. Can't wait to try the app out! [emoji106]

The preview version is up!
The App's size will be significantly reduced when I remove the 'Preview' tag from the App.
@Aditya Srinidhi, no, that's a very valid question/suggestion. I also initially thought of that, it's possible to integrate with WhatsApp messages but as a side effect, the App will have to run in background most of the time, I will look into how can I provide that integration with minimum resource consumption. May be, I will keep it as an option.

Updated First post with a new .apk with some bug fixes. Please re-download if you had downloaded the initial version.

UPDATE: Knock Me! is now live on Google Play Store, download to receive automatic updates! And oh don't forget it's a preview version, rate accordingly

@Minions_Army and others, I have added a video showing the working of the App in the first post, check it out and try out the App while I prepare to bundle features for next update.

New update
Hey Guys! I am just done with a new update. The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously. And the App may be ready for daily usage (you tell me.)
While it will be up on Google Play Store in a couple of hours, I would like to get some suggestions from the community. Apart from the feature to let callers activate knock word through messages on WhatsApp, I would like to in what direction this App could go towards in terms of feature.
I was thinking of this idea, if the App is installed in your friends/contacts phones, you will be able to search 'their' phone's contact database for a particular number, say you received a call from xxx-xxx-xxx number and now you want to check if it's saved in any of your friends phone. Once found, the App will list the different names with which the number is saved in your different friends' phones without revealing the source of each name.
Please let me know what you think about the idea and also suggest me anything you have in your mind.

New version is up on Google Play Store as well as in the first post! I consider this version good enough for daily use, but again is it? (You tell me!)
What's New?
#1 The app will now be able to handle knock word activation by several callers simultaneously.
#2 Uses system contact picker for assigning a contact to a knock word in "Selected Contacts" mode.
