[APP REQUEST] Social Centric Phonebook

Hello all,
I hope I'm not infringing on some forum rules by asking/posting in this format.
I am looking for a Social centric phonebook much alike the one found with HTC sense or other customized interfaces.
To be clear I'd like to find all information attached to a particular contact in 1 place. So if I get to Mr X, i'll see all text messages ever exchanged with him, his facebook, twitter, what have you page and call logs.
I've seen Phonebook 2.0 www [.] voxmobili [.] com / phonebook / which looks just about right except it appears it hasn't been launched yet.
So is there anything right now that could do the trick.
Note: My nexus is 1 week old if even and I'd rather not root for now but I'd be glad to hear about apps that'd require rooting, for future reference.
Many thanks

does what you wwant, but its not perfect. Hopefully it will improve.

That's definitely a good start thanks. I see that the latest version has FB disabled though, I'm not a big user but most of my contacts will be from there so I'm pondering a bit on whether I'll wait or install right away

Are you sure? This appears to be the same version I used to use... You have to install the 'mix-ins' seperately comprende? Or did you do that and it still didn't work? If you want, you can ***** at the dev here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=623851

[APP] SayMyName Dessert

Hello,
At the moment I'm working on a new version of SayMyName Dessert. It's my first app (but it's already on the Android Market for more than a year ) and I just can't stop developing it. Mostly, I blame my users for that. You send me feature-requests, bug-reports, good feedback, bad feedback... even donations!
Currently there are two versions of SayMyName available at the Android Market. One for Cupcakes, and one for Donuts and beyond.
With the upcoming version of SayMyName, I want to merge those versions, fix old, very annoying bugs and add some often requested features.
Why I'm telling you that? Because I need even more feedback, more testers, more contributers D) and some guys who translate my app into various languages.
So, if you want to help me, please download the attached .apk and give me some feedback / requests / whatever comes to your mind. Just leave a reply here at xda or send me a mail. (tomtasche AT gmail)
Thank you very much
Tom
P.S.: If you want to try the old, buggy version of SayMyName, feel free to search the Android Market for "SayMyName Dessert".
edit:
I forgot to mention what this app is for.
Official market-description:
"Want to know who's calling you without looking at your phone? SayMyName reads out loud the name saved in your adressbook and tells you who's calling.
- reads SMS, GMail and K9-Mail too
- very customizable
- discreet mode
- Locale Plug-in
- open-source
- supports non-latin languages too
See website for changelog, etc."
edit:
Changelog:
- reads nicknames!
- fixes, fixes, fixes.
- much more
- mute gestures
- read number-/mail-type (custom labels supported too!)
- auto translate messages (enable "translate")
- improved widget
- fixes
- pause music during speech on phones with Android 2.2
- sk, cs and de translations by David K. (thanks! )
- supports people who can't find TTS Extended in Android Market / don't have access to Android Market
Planned features in near future:
- more translations (any volunteers?)
- bluetooth (maybe I found somebody who can help me! )
edit:
If you want to help translate, download this file and translate the text between the tags:
Code:
<string name="...">TRANSLATE THIS</string>
Return the translated file to me afterwards.
Thank you very much
Tom
PS: Please let me know if you want me to mention your name / mail-address / website.

Thanks! Tell me if you miss something.

I just tried the app for SMS notifications, but it gets interrupted by the notification. I'd like the notification to come first, followed by the announce and then the message. As it is now half the announcement gets killed by the notification.
I tried setting both Reading break and speech delay to 5 (seconds?), but the announcement started immediately anyway.
The app also seems to open a TTS-channel on start, causing noticeable hiss for a couple of seconds.
And the locale-plug-in, is it a separate download? Couldn't see it in Tasker even if I force-stopped it.
Your app seems to perform all the functions I want from TTS-notifications, now I only have to wait for the engine to not sound like a broken record in my language.

Yup, that's the voice.... Froyo (CM6) on Nexus. Truth be told I don't really like the english voice either, it's just far too synthetic compared to some of the other TTS-engines out there:

Unfortunately I'm not responsible for the voice. It comes from Android, but the AT&T sample is very impressive!
I've uploaded another update at the first post, which fixes speech-delay.
Thanks

By the way, you can change the voice in "Speech settings" (linked in SayMyName). Change the "Engine" to "Pico TTS" and you'll get a female voice.

Excellent.
A slightly more convoluted feature request: Do you think it would be possible to change the TTS-language based on which contact a text message comes from? Say for instance if the contacts had TTS=en_US or TTS=sv_SE or any other preferred language in the notes-section?
The reason for this request is of course that I receive messages in different languages depending on the contact, so if I just decide on a language half the time it'll sound even worse than necessary.

Thanks for the hint, but it doesn't seem to work. Probably because I don't use EN/FR/DE/ES.

When I tried the old version from the market the notifications didn't pause the music or podcasts so the text reading was down out by the audio. Using btunes for music and google listen for podcasts. Any progress on this?

Android should pause your music automatically if there's a notification-sound. But I'll see if I can pause music too. Thanks.

Can't get any of these to work on my x10 mini (Android 1.6). Old version from Market works fine but when I install these and try to open them I get a popup saying "The requested item could not be found".
Any idea what's going on Tom?
EDIT: Tried the earlier .6.3 and it seems the app is trying to search the Market for "pname:com.google.tts" doesn't find anything matching that though and just sticks on that screen
EDIT 2: Couldn't find the files on Market but the newest version of it is here:

Hi Viber Team,
Registered for Beta-testing and installed the APK... can't go past the "enter your phone number and press 'Continue':" screen.
@noop
Tab, ACE , S2, Wildfire S

Viber is very similar to whatsapp. Unlike Skype, viber no need to sign in. Work like whatsapp. Been a while iPhone is having it.

After subscribing at http://eepurl.com/bW1Ln you simply need to wait several weeks from our invitation email. Once you get it, you will be asked to fill out a form verifying the same details as the original subscription, and then you will be sent to download the APK and complete your installation.
If you get the APK without following this exact procedure (in the *exact* same order), you will NOT be able to activate.
Our waiting list is long, so a little more patience is needed

i am using for 3 days now on wifi and seems good sometimes echo and sometimes clear sound i guess depend on the connection.

Hi viber team,
i have been a viber beta tester for android for some time now.

There should be no problem recognizing users from other countries. Please specify what country you and your friend abroad live in, and provide me with the number FORMAT of both you and your friend.

i'm a viber beta tester in italy.
I'm using viber with galaxy tab. Works very good both in 3g or in Wifi. I can call viber user crossing platform. From Galaxy to iphone 4 and viceversa. Message works too.
Actually the only thing that not works "very well" is Notification Icon that suddenly re-appear even if i have select "no notification in status bar".
The autoupdate of Viber contact and the last one the calling popup that stay behind the opened application. If i'm on opera or other application i can hear the call ring but i have to close opera to see the viber application with button to answer or reject.
But i'm very satisfied of Viber as a beta.

Well its works great on my galaxy tab I have had only 3 crashes so far but that was when I was on froyo .... also before u update any of the viber beta update make sure u uninstall the old version or u will get force close ...
When will tablet version be added or would I say full supported if I may ask pls ??

Hi Viber folks!
I subscribed to beta few weeks ago.
I had an Archos 70it at that time, and app was not working
Now i changed to a Toshiba Folio 100, and would to try it again.
I just download the viber apk file, installed, but it is still not working (not start)... is it viber working just in presence of a phone module?
Because if so, it will be very pity! Besides, Skype and Fring works like a charm...
EDIT:
My toshiba Folio is mounting a 2.2 version of android...

I think i found what's the problem:
I got the confimation email for subscription, but never received email for download from Viber..

Hi,
Thanks for developing such a great app... I love it.. and it's working fine on my Tab.. I do have a question though.. when will Viber support Bluetooth headsets?
thanks!

1. @riccardoroma - we are aware of the notification icon bug. we fixed that, and it will be implemented in the next beta version.
2. full support for tablet - we don't know yet. For now we are focusing on fixing general bugs with all devices, so it might take a little while.
3. @spino1970 - In order to activate Viber, you need subscribe to be a beta-tester, get the confirmation email, then wait (several weeks) for our INVITATION email. inside that mail you will have a form to fill, and only then you will be able to download the APK (if you get the APK without this process, you won't be able to complete your installation). We ask for your patience
4. About bluetooth - we haven't fully tested the integration of Viber with BT. it will work better and better in future versions.

I received an invitation for Viper test Android version from the Software installation has completed and test capabilities.
But when 2 days the SDCard and backup my entire file corrupt. And Viper application and SMS activation code are missing from re-flash ROM.
I would like to know how I can install this Viper application and send activation code for me again. And then I tried to downloading the Viper application from the email that was sent for me sometime.
>>> To download the beta version of Viber for Android, follow this link:
>>> h t t p : / / w w w . v i b e r . c o m / a n d r o i d - b e t a /

When you click a link appears registration page I've put information until then, it has text below.
>>> “The Viber Beta for Android can only be accessed with a single phone number.
>>> You will be able to use Viber with more numbers when it is officially released for Android.

@tivgnos
Try installing Viber and enter the exact same telephone number as the one you originally registered with.
Otherwise, I'm afraid there isn't really a way for me to help you other than subscribing to be a beta tester again

Ok, I already installed and received activation code.

[Q] Skype 2.1.0.46

Hi everyone.
I'm having an unusual mistake on my Xperia Play, I'm currently running Skype 2.0.0.47 mod app obtained from here (XDA developers) which allow the Xperia Play to make video calls, but today while on the market I noticed there is a Skype Update to version 2.1.0.46 which officially support Xperia Play.
So I thought, OK, maybe is time to left the mod and jump to the official App to that supports my PLAY, but after downloading the file and while trying to install it the file my phone prompt a message :
ERROR Package was not signed correctly
So I wasn't updated at all, I'm still running on 2.0.0.47 mod , but I was wondering if it is a mistake on Skype side while compiling the app, or if it is because of my set is currently running a Modded Skype app?
I read all the comments on the app section, and nobody is complaining about that, in fact nobody is commenting about it working on the Xperia Play... can you guys give it a try and let me know if yours worked fine?
I'm running on Gingerbread (Updated via SEUS) not rooted nor flashed, R800a.
Thanks

You have to uninstall the XDA-provided version first. So to say, the system finds that the Skype of the market and the XDA-provided Skype are incompatible, and it won't allow you to update one with the other.
One big dev, supercurio, has said that this system is retarded, as it implies that people who use pirated apps would have to uninstall them, and lose the data if the app can't back it up on the SD card, if they decide to "go legal" and buy it from the Market. It's not an issue in Skype, because it is free, but paid-for apps suffer.

I just "thanked" you, Uninstalling Modded Skype right now.

The official app is good now? It supports video calls? Should I also update from the xda one?

Yes it is,
version 2.1.0.046 is up on the market right now and it is working on the xperia play in a "OFFICIAL" manner
You can update it but you first need to remove the XDA modded app, it will show an error if you don't remove the modded app, and fore close the installation.
I did it, and it worked

I installed the new Skype Version and Videocalls works fine on my Play now, but only in Landscape Mode! It this a Bug or all here have the same "problem" here?

It isn't a bug, its a design limitation/stupidity. Honestly... What were they thinking with sideways FFC support. >_< I hope they will accept either an option or implement sensor checking for rotation.

really dissapointed they have not made this HC compatable.
i'm gonna have to wait to see is someone will unlock this version to allow all devices to try video

So which is better to use? The xda one or official updated one?

The official one IMO. The main reason to use patched Skype is because it is patched to support devices that it officially doesn't. Once your phone is officially able to use Skype, there's no reason why you should bother with patched versions.

Patched one has easy exit button and remembers the password for quick sign in - I believe the official one does not do it. That's the main reason for patched one with me.
Some other tweaks are disabling sign-in sound and colour icon to indicate your status which can be also useful. Possibly bluetooth is supported too but I have not tested it.

Funny... I had patched version 2.0.0.47 and it didn't remember the password, nor have an exit button... that's why I Didn't felt any difference... you may have the 2.0.0.45 patched version instead...
Maybe we can ask the devs, to patch the official version to have this setup also. It will be amazing to have the exit button.
also do anyone knows a workaround to prevent the skype to start on the background everytime I get online via Wifi or 3g... getting tired of that.!

I am not sure what it means, since I don't have the ROM installed. I am waiting for this sync issue to be sorted out; it's a deal-breaker for me.
Even I understood it the same as you, perhaps you're in a better position to understand the discussion in that thread (link). Check out the last post in that page.
