[MOD] Dialer/Contacts.apk 2.8 Based off ChainsDD Dialer (Updated 140110)

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If call log is outdated (should not happen, just in case), or if you want to delete the call log cache for some reason, do the following and then re-open Contacts/Call log: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
Themeable background: custom_background_dialer.png in drawable-finger

Haptic feedback function
Call Log:
View total incoming/outgoing call time in call log
Show actual time in call log, instead of relative time
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
Ability to change the size of the contact picture when viewing an individual's call log
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.

Favourites:
Ability to clear frequently called numbers.
Ability to hide frequently called numbers
Misc:

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

Keyboard alternatives

Hi all!
A few days ago i found a really cool alternative keyboard to the stock one as well as to swype. Now, after i tested it for sometime, i wanted to share it with you.
So since i didn't find a thread for keyboards in here, i came to the idea to make a collection of alternative keyboards, where everyone can introduce his favourites and list the options of it.
I'll make the start:
Ultra Keyboard - a really good keyboard with loads of options, very precise swyping and, in my opinion, unmatched word suggestion. I'm using the version 5.6.3 right now.
PRO:
- faster word suggestion than swype
- in my opinion much better precision than the 2.44 version of swype (1.6 was much better, but did unfortunately expire)
- all important layouts (QWERTY, QWERTZ, AZERTY, Alphabetical, Compact Keyboard (T9), automatical switch to numeric pad, when in an appropiate field)
- many themes (presets or even self made)
- adjustable button height for perfect precision
- option to manually calibrate the keyboard
- gesture support (for example to cange dictionary language, i use it to change from english to german and back)
- built-in translation feature
- speech-to-text
- camera mode for "transparent" screen (useful if you're typing while you walk)
- easily add and delete words in your user dictionary
- much more ... just try it!
- available dictionaries: english, german, french, italian, dutch, spanish
CONTRA:
- like all good things, it's not free
Price: 2,00 € (about 2.50$)

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So that's all i remember right now. Oh, just to add that: This is no advertisement and I'm not connected to the developer in any way
So what keyboards can you suggest?

I started using HTC mod then I used Smart Keyboard PRO
this was very easy and I find that it have the most effective error correction ability. means you can trype the word but you will never touch correct key always. but touching the next key to the desired key and still you will end up getting the correct word at the end.
Then I switched to SwiftKey Keyboard
It has unique ability to lean my way of typing and suggest my next word. so far it made my typing faster.
Check it out...

I'm using SlideIT. If you choose free (demo) version it has some limitations like 10 custom words in memory. It expires after some time but then I just reinstall it and it works like a charm again...
So, long story short you have free keyboard with swyping support and tons of different languages.

HTC IME.....

Download
v27
High resolution version
High resolution version (Froyo/2.2)
Low resolution version for Android 1.6 and up
Low resolution version for Android 1.5 (no voice input)
Instructions:
Download and unzip (not flashable update.zip!)
Install the two apks (HTC_IME & Clicker) using your favorite method (via a file manager or adb install -r). Sense users shouldn't (and needn't) install Clicker.
There is no need to push anything to /system
Go to Menu, Settings, Language & Keyboard. Activate "HTC_IME mod"
To change keyboard, long press on lower left key on stock keyboard or any input field. Select input method in the menu.
See note below if you have earlier versions than v22 installed already!
Requirements:
Android
Compatible resolution screen
Compatible CPU. Sorry can't say which they are but I know some Samsung phones are not supported. This is due to the included HTC native prediction library.
Configuring my hacks
All configuration is now done in the settings dialog. No need for config files on SD card (v22 and up).
Some options modifies stuff that are set when the keyboard first loads. Thus you need to kill it for changes to take effect (or reboot).
Upgrade notes
Starting with v22 I now use my own java package name. This means that it can be installed in parallel with stock HTC_IME (no root needed on Sense).
Settings from v21 and earlier can't be read from v22 and up. You must enter them again. The user dictionary can be exported from v21 and imported into v22. Both versions can coexist during this process. This inconvenience will only happen between v21 and newer. Sorry for this, but this change will enable me do to more advanced mods in the future.
v23 has a hires Clicker. You should install it if not using Sense
Source code
Interested in how I do this? I've decided to share the sources for the mod so that the project can live on when I get tired of it. You can study it just for learning or implement your own mods. You are free to do whatever you want with if as long as you buy me a beer

Please spend a few hours trying to set it up and figure out some stuff on your own before bombarding me with questions...

Version 7: Fixed compatibility with Terminal Emulator in CyanogenMod, KB going haywire in CoPilot and word candidate list shows to low (hid active input field sometimes like in stock messaging app).

Version 5: Show voice input button for all languages instead of EN button in all keyboards that uses the same layouts as the English ones. To fix this in all other layouts, modding binary XML is required. I need help with that. Voice input seems to use your current locale if supported, and English as fallback.

Want to skin it?.....
gIMpSTa said:
I have created an "online kitchen" of sorts for creating custom skinned, signed, HTC_IME high and low res apk files. This means you guys can very easily create your own skins and customize the ones I've created!
What is this?
A website you can visit on your computer or directly from your phone that will let you a> create a custom skinned keyboard based off of any of the images currently in the library (various colored keys, backgrounds, etc) with whatever text color you want and b> customize existing "skins" (will be known as "presets") however your heats desire.
Currently, it should be considered very beta. All the features that are here should be working 100%.
Why beta, that sounds scary?
It's beta for a couple of reasons, 1 because it's currently UGLY as sin (concentrated on features and back end first) and 2 because I'm actively working on it which means it could break at any time.
What is the point of this?
Besides the fact that you can now customize the hell out of the way your keyboard looks, it drastically reduces the amount of work I have to do in the future. Currently, i'm uploading 46 pre-themed apk files for every single update. While this isn't really a big deal since I automated the process, it slows down how quickly I can put up updates. With this new method, all I have to do is upload the original unthemed keyboard apk and classes.dex for each new version and my work is done!
Everything else:
If you select a preset, you will still be asked to choose each portion of the keyboard (background, buttons, text color etc). The image with the yellow border around it (you'll see what I mean) is the default "piece" for the preset.
One last thing, depending on server load it could take anywhere from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to generate the keyboard. Most of the time I suspect it will be < 1 minute tho.
I don't mind if you use this to generate a keyboard and include it with something (theme/morph) or post it somewhere, just give due credit
URL for HIGH RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themer/
URL for LOW RES online kitchen: http://www.gimpsta.com/themerlo/
Current feature list / changelog:
Start from a "preset" (any of my current themes) and change any component of it.
Choose any of my current backgrounds
Choose any of my current primary/function key styles
Choose any of my current "symbol sets"
Choose any of my current space bar logo/images
Upload your own spacebar logo
Choose any color text for letters and alternate characters
Built in bug reporting/feature requests (for new image sets, for example)
Choose any color for background image
Preview keyboard before generating it
Option to see/reuse all skins you have generated
Option to see/reuse last 25 skins anyone has generated
Choose any color for symbol sets
Added lowres kitchen
Added option to choose between 1.5 only and 1.6+ low res versions in low res kitchen.
Added v25 froyo version.
Added all v26 versions to kitchen!
Added all v27 versions to kitchen!
Added v27-froyo lowres version to kitchen!
New option: Create your own primary/function keys is FINALLY here!

I think the same, i just started looking for other swyping keyboards because the latest release of Swype is a big step backwards from version 1.6 regarding accuracy and speed. But i'm glad I started looking, there are a lot of better keyboards out there, and right now ultra keyboard seems perfect for me

It works for me.

installed ultra
can anyone please tell me the perfect settings for ultra..
the settings section looks mess for me...
i feel it very complicated...
i got used to swype...
so any of you please tell me the exact settings to be put in ultra to make it more better than swype!

I tried Ultra too...
I didn't like it so, i'm with swype till gets out of bet and will cost money.
After, i'll have to decide which one i will use.
What i don't like about swype is the small selection of dictonaries while for Ultra probably you can create your own.

Well, for a start, just the keyboard options that you find here:
- Enable tracing. That's the swipe option in Ultra keyboard.
- set key height to a value that fits you perfect. Just try writing a few sentences till it feels right.
- Choose your Layout (QWERTZ, QWERTY, Compact (T9), AZERTY, Alphabetical)
Now, the other options (you find them, if you scroll the options bar on the keyboard horizontally, symbol is two crossed tools ):
- under "Typing" you can calibrate the keyboard so that you're able to hit the keys precisely. Calibrate both portrait and landscape mode.
- Under "Gestures" you can set, well, gestures There are a lot of options, I use a swipe down to chose my second dictionary. Set it to whatever you like
- under "Suggestions" you can choose to add contact names to the dictionary or blacklist words you don't need.
- note that Ultra keyboard repeats letters if you pause over a key, that's different than Swype is doing. You can enable/disable that under "Tracing"
That's some points I can think of right now. If there is something you want to change/ do or if you don't understand, just ask
Cheers

when i "trace" lol it always comes up as LOL and then id have to select the undercase option, how do i get it to stop automatically capitalizing my "lol"s?

Is the Theme Manager fix for 1.6.10? Because the title of the thread talks about 1.6.3

Thank you for your support!

Please support japanese!

Japanese language pack has been finished by GO DEV TEAM.It will be released soon.
You can pay attention to our blog:http://gokeyboard.goforandroid.com/archives/category/language-pack?lang=enThanks!

What about Brazilian Portuguese?

I saw this thread earlier and said I gotta check it out. Well I did and it's great. I already use go launcher and SMS so I figured this would be good as well. Was always looking for a good t9 keyboard. HTC keyboard ain't horrible but this one seems to be a lot better with predictions.
Thank you very much and all your work is appreciated.

Thanks for your support.

Updates are available!

Updates are available now~

what is multi-touch point?
if that means its a multi-touch keyboard, its not? i tried pressing a letter at and then another while still keeping the first letter pressed, and it only detects the first one.

PLEASE add a Neon theme

Please add multi-touch support.

Wow, this keyboard has improved a LOT recently. Japanese support is something I really want in a keyboard, as well as good English support, so I don't have to switch constantly. This one fits the bill. Are there more themes other than the 5 or so included in the settings menu, or is that it?
I particularly like that you can set the haptic feedback as short as you want. With many keyboards, the buzz is just too strong so I turn it off. I set it to the absolute minimum on this app, and it's just a mere suggestion of a vibrate, that you hardly even notice consciously, but still provides some tactile response to hitting a key. Nice.

loving go keyboard !!!
also .. i love all GO APPS ... i only dont use go score heheh
but please , could there be an option to " show landscape as default " ? even if phone has auto rotation disabled ? ( like web browser option ).
also a quick keyboard key to switch from landscape to portrait and vice versa.
THANKS !!

How can I use the spell check features? I have been making spelling mistakes on purpose and the suggestions are nowhere near the intended word, i.e I type "kat" and go keyboard corrects to "later" instead of cat or offering suggestions.

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 just came across this; not exactly Rocket Dialer, but should suffice for novelty purposes: Old School Dialer.

It is there now, please try again .

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.
