[APP] TouchPal Contacts 4.3.0 on steroids - Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]

Guys, here it is the new TouchPal Contacts version 4.3.0 patched to clear missed call notification, with an added bonus (over the previous one): it doesn't require NotiGo anymore!
Also, since in this new version the background service uses low ram (5mb in my case), i didn't disable it.
Upcoming patches:
- add translations (i'll do the italian one, please translate the strings.xml file and post it so that i can add it in the new releases)
- customizable number formatting
Installation:
Simply install the zip from CWM recovery!
[THE FOLLOWING IS VALID FOR THE OLD VERSION ONLY]
Hi to all,
I like very much Touchpal Dialer, but it had some problems for me to be my daily dialer:
it launches a background service that eats 10-15 MB of precious ram (other similar apps don't have any bg service);
it does not clear missed call notifications (on Gingerbread, as all non stock dialers), and you cannot move it as a system app (e.g. using Titanium Backup) because doing so it crashes
it (like many other dialers) does not open when i tap on a missed call notification...
So I patched this app to work as it should be out of the... market!
I changed the service so that now it runs only when TouchPal is open;
I added support for NotiGo, so now TouchPal clears missed calls notifications also on Gingerbread.
But for this to work you have to install NotiGo (see the first post) and install TouchPal after that.
Finally, I added support for the Galaxy missed call notification, so you can finally open TouchPal's call log when tapping on a missed call, instead of the built in (crap) call log.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the techs this is what I've done:
In SmartDialerService, method ensureService(), I replaced the call to startService() with bindService(), because every TouchPal activity calls ensureService on creation;
In SmartDialerService I added a new method askForStop() to shut down the service when no TouchPal activity is using it, and added a call to this in the onDestroy() method of every TouchPal activity;
In DialerActivity and CallLogActivity I added the call to NotiGo to clear the notifications;
In the AndroidManifest.xml I added an intent support for the action"com.sec.android.app.dialertab.calllog.DetailViewActivity", which is broadcasted when you tap a missed call notification. Also, obviously, added permission support for NotiGo ("thinkpanda.permission.CLEAR_MISSED_CALL")
For further details, please decompile the apk and compare the smali files to the original ones.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please give me feedback on this mod, and if you like it hit Thanks!

Does it display any error? I have not MIUI so i can't test.
But we can test if it is a problem of touchpal or of the builtin contacts app.
If you can install AnyCut (or a similar app) from the market, try to add a new shortcut ("Make your own") using these parameters (without quotes):
Action: "android.intent.action.INSERT"
Type: "vnd.android.cursor.dir/contact"
Then go to the home screen and tap on the new shortcut.
If it doesn't open the "Add Contact" dialog, there should be some problem with the builtin contacts app.

This app replaces the app from market, is it?
Then if we use your app we can't update Touchpal from Market without loosing "steroid"?

cannot install NotiGo.
SOLVED: Gotta use edify's one

Yes you should be able to update it from market.
Obviously doing so you lose all the customization I made.
I wrote to Cootek asking them to integrate my mods in the dialer, since they can do it in minutes.
So far no answers...

It's a pity, since I like TouchPal Dialer so much, but these "features" i don't like are always there, and ...no reply from them ever.
Thank you for your "version", anyhow: I like it!

[App] Google Voice Catcher for MIUI (updated 3/12/2011)

UPDATE: Version 1.1 is prettier and now launches straight to the Google Voice inbox without the delay from Version 1.0.
Here is a simple app I created that will allow Google Voice to be launched from the message icon on the MIUI lockscreen. I use it with this ROM here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=915527
Usage:
Install the attached APK.
Lock your phone.
Unlock your phone from the MIUI lockscreen by swiping with the message icon on the right.
In the "Complete action using" dialog, check "Use by default for this action" and select "Inbox"
You're done! Now whenever your unlock your phone with the message icon, it should launch straight to the Google Voice inbox.
You may need to uninstall any previous versions of the app, since they were signed with the debug keys. To do so, navigate through the following:
Settings -> Programs -> Manage Applications -> Downloaded -> com.ayuforever.googlevoicecatcher -> Uninstall​
For anyone who's interested, the reason that Google Voice isn't available by default from the lockscreen message icon is that it doesn't have the intent filter for the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. This app registers the needed intent filter and in turn launches the Google Voice app.
This is really cool.
How hard is it to change the lock screen icon designations?
Is it possible to change one of the icons to be a search icon, so that when you unlock with it, it launches a search keyboard?
p
lets try this again.

All I wrote was an app that catches an intent that Google Voice didn't already catch. Changing the icons on the lock screen? You'd have to ask the MIUI devs about that.

I don't understand what means. You are making the messaging icon point at another process or app?
ok installed and it doesn't do any thing? WTF?

22350 said:

Click to collapse
The messaging icon starts the activity for the default intent of the "vnd.android-dir/mms-sms" mimetype. While the stock messaging app and other apps like Handcent register this intent, the Google Voice app does not.
All this app does is register the necessary intent and then start Google Voice.
It doesn't do any sort of modding to the MIUI lockscreen at all.
how do I uninstall it? thanks in advance
I don't have to wait long for google voice to open I use swiftkey it opens quick for me thanks

Google Voice for calling
Have any of you gotten Google Voice making calls to work? So far the dialer doesn't seem to want to route my calls through Google Voice... :-/
Ran across this today. Wonderful stuff. Works perfectly after setup.
Edit: Working on Samsung Captivate
Thanks.
Working great so far with Rod's miui mod!
I've been wanting something like this for a long time.

How did you solve this? I need GV for international calling.
EDIT: I figured it out. Go into settings > Programs > Call Settings and enable 3rd party access under the phone security section
thanks.
This works so well...thanks! You are great! Now if only I could get 5 point lockscreen to recognize Google Music
This works perfectly - Samsung Fascinate on miui 1.9.x

[APP] PerApp -- change a few per-app settings

Official release is in Google Play.
PerApp is a simple open source app that lets you set a few settings for individual apps. Specifically as of 1.03:
- orientation
- volume boost (Android 2.3+)
- screen timeout time
- CPU speed [root]
- font size
- input method [root]
I have a pre-release version here, with source code in the repository.
I wrote it because there is one app that I wanted to be able to lock the screen orientation for. I knew there is an app in the Market that does that, but I didn't like a recent review of it, so I wrote my own.
I am sure Tasker does all of this and more, but I prefer to use a simple, small and cheap app.
Only the CPU settings use root.
I posted 0.03 which should work better with the never show notification icon option.
Nice this is exactly what i searched changing the volume of one app.
i dowloadet the version PerApp003.apk start the program and after aktivating it and caling the programm again, my screen rests black and i get after +- 10sec the message: Unfortunately, PerApp has stopped.
any posibility to find a error log that can help to find the problem ?
the error coms on a Samsung Galaxy S 2 on 4.03
sorry for bad english

Yeah, install Android Log Collector, run Per App, and right after the crash go to Log Collector and email me (arpruss at gmail dot com) your log. I have yet to see private stuff in a log, but if you're really careful you can email the log to yourself first, look through it, and then forward it to me.

ok its done, hope you can find the problem
EDIT: Works great now on gs2 4.0.3 big thx to arpruss
ICS problem fixed, confirmed with user.
I recommend everyone switch to 0.04 as it does stuff The Right Way.
I posted 0.06 which improves an audio boost issue.
I just added:
- CPU min/max speed changing on a per app basis (needs root); you need to go to Menu | Settings to activate it, though.
- Jelly Bean support (needs root, as in JB one doesn't get the READ_LOGS permission without root; on ICS and below root is not needed).
Just put out 0.08, fixing bug in CPU speed adjust.
Can you add per-app GPS setting?

Great idea!
I made some UI improvements in 0.09. Now in the apps list it shows some info about how apps were customized. Moreover, if you edit defaults, you get an option to reset all apps to default in respect of one of the settings.
Great work!
I suggest separating apps that had their settings changed from the ones with the default settings or puting them on top for easy access...
A change log in the OP would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
color me impressed. I've been using tasker to do such things but I'd like it in a seperate app, especially if I can export those settings later (apply them to other phones maybe?)
It would be very usefull if you can set DPI perapp.

But not all everyone likes CyanogenMod based roms
Does the volume boost work the other way around and can you use it on system apps? I'd really like to lower the volume of incoming facebook messages and the camera shutter since it doesn't seem to be affected by changing any sounds except for silent mode.
nice app
:good:
Great app. Any plans for releasing it in Play store?

@highflights,
make sure you are on the correct firmware 3.32 and i would do full wipe before flashing the rom again, then you should be good to go buddy.

it is not normal for the effects to be running slow, what effects are you talking about? what rom have you had installed before flashing this one, or are you just updating from another version of miui.............................sudeki300

the V4 themes nearly work fully except status bar icons, they only work fully on the ASOP release, this is because of the change in sense file system. for instance there used to be a carrier icon in the systemui file that could easily be changed. but know the carrier is written in text on a xml file. most other bits work on V4 themes but not the best bits like status bar mods...................................sudeki300

Available options:
Minimize all apps after an app was restarted
Duration of the monitoring intervall
Donation:
No self-promotion in the app.
More than 3 apps could be selected
Bring back last visible app after starting an app
Start apps, even not ever running since system startup
You support this app and further development!
Play Store: http://tinyurl.com/m94esbw
Changelog : In-app or http://tinyurl.com/kyzfjmp (Google Tranlator bar on the top)

My personal intension to create this app:
I'm using the messenger Trillian which has random FCs. Now Cerulean Studios has"pimped" the UI in a way I don't like. So I have to use the old version with known bugs.
To not miss messages anymore, i restart Trillian after crashes with this app
Now i'm using it also for daily crashes of WhatsApp

Per-app? A global option "restart apps only of screen is on" would be much easier
So if the time interval is set to 20 minutes, the app check every 20minutes if the selected apps are still running and if they dont, keep running start them again?
Do i get this right?

Yes.
I think "20" is a good value
* you do not miss messages etc to long
* not many checks of the apps, no impact to battery (20 min -> 72 cheks/day)
But you could set whatever you need

Just pushed to Play Store. The logfile shows "sleeping" if

I would like the option to restart apps minimized without reverting to the homescreen. Please separate these choices.

That's not possible, due Android does not provide the "minimize" of an app
No minimizing

How about returning to previous active app instead of homescreen then? Returning to the homescreen interrupts ongoing use of the phone.

Great idea, i will check if it is possible to get the current focused app. But it could be that there is a short (<1 second) interruption anyway

Just released to Play Store. This needs a new permission "GET_TASKS".
Also added a notification if a app was restarted
I've just added strings for translation to the first post. If you attach here a translation, please send me you email address via PM.

Cool app
I, too, wish they would've kept Trillian looking like that old school Gingerbread style, but it's hard to expect them not to upgrade the UI, I guess...

just bought Mate 8 NXT-L29C185B103

Although I have been using android phones sinec many years( all types). but I am having difficulties to adopt to that one :
1-Not able to download any app from playstore .??? The progress bar keeps going from lefyto right but no progress at all for long times ...The WiFi signail is strong .
2- Not able to find the Arabic language on the device, not able to display the menus in Arabic like all Androis device I used before.
For Arabic menus open
Settings
Advanced Settings
Language & Region
B103 also sounds like it would be an incredibly old firmware, I'd suggest updating to NXT-L29C185B320 which has brought about fixes for quite a few bugs (most notably the delayed notifications issue) and added a few features.

I already upgraded to B180 via air as B320 is not avilable yet . How can I upgrade to B320 ? It is official ?
How to remove tha phone icon from the home display ?
I do not like the deafult phone app, and I already installed another one from the playstore. But I am not able to remove the icon of the default app !!!!!! Very weared .
I hope I will not have to live with it...
Best bet is to install custom rom or unofficial build. Be able to get latest and greatest for mate 8.
Still some annoying small issues that hasn't been fixed. Like the black on dark notification text.

It is official, have a look at the thread where I was originally asking about it: update-l29c185bxx I left instructions on how I did an in-place upgrade to keep my data/settings

I will have a look on this.
I have another problem and it may be related to this ROM, as I have never faced on any android pkone ever befor. I am using blue mail for my gmail account and maildroid for my business account which on a private server.
In all phones i used before, I was having a push notifications easily, but now and for the same 2 apps I have been using for years, the mail is not received unless I manually open the app.
Is not this starnge ?

The battery saving feature is preventing these apps from running on the background. Go to
Settings
----Apps
Then select the app that you want and in (Notification) select allow notifications and then go back to the previous menu and go to (Battery) and turn on the first two buttons if they are off
Power-intensive prompt
Keep running after screen off

Thanks man. It worked for the maildroid app ( where my server and domain is on private co.). But did not work for Bluemail !!!! Ofcourse I made the same steps exactly ...
Ok try this one.
Go to
* Settings
* Accounts
If Bluemail is there then Choose (Menu) button
Put a tick next to (Auto-sync) data

It is too ugly to use. to change the launcher do the following
Settings
Apps
Advanced (Button)
Default app settings
Launcher
Then choose the launcher that you want.
