i am not sure if you all will agree with my idea, but its something that I would like to see. if you use handcent SMS you know that one of the features is quick compose. this allows you to send an SMS from almost any app without needing to switch apps. this is very convenient! i know we are able to do multitasking and switching between apps is not that hard, but there are some apps that, if you press the home button, the app will stop working, you cant resume or the app will crash. An example is Ex Zeus. so just wondering if anyone knows an app similar to what i am asking for or knows if its being designed? i wish i could reroute handcent sms quick compose feature to use google voice instead but thats not possible. i dont think it would be too difficult to design, but i have no idea! let me know what you guys think.
Sms popup on the market.

i didnt see a quick compose option. only a quick reply. am i overlooking it?
Nevermind this is about Google voice. It doesn't work with voice. But the quick reply option is in additional settings
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...

I also wrote several times cootek, without any reply...
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!

Thanks for helping, but I actually found an archive of older builds, remembered which build it was (1.7.22) and found the ringtones/notifications inside the /media folder. All is good.
P.S. Here's the notification for anyone interested.

I'm sorry if I posted in this wrong thread. I'm a noob, I recently migrated from ios and I was wondering if I could disable to the text message preview in the notification bar. I've dug deep into both hangout and messages settings as well as the privacy settings and can't seem to find it. I want it to simply say "text message" rather than previewing the entire message. Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately, there isn't a way to do this on the stock Google apps (Hangouts and Messages). You would have to download third party apps to access such feature. I strongly recommend you to start with Textra.
You can try "8sms" it´s based on Stock messaging app and it have the option to disable the preview for the incoming messges.

On 5.1.7 with Google dialer but cannot selected managed favorites in DnD menu? Was working under 5.1.5 which is the last time I checked?
Anybody else
I don't understand. Are you saying that you can't manage your favorites contacts in DnD menu, or that you can't make DnD ring for your favorites contacts ?
In first case, I didn't seen such an option in 5.1.5/6/7
Second case : it's working ont 5.1.7, without any issue here.

Oh. OK. I'm on 5.1.7, and I've this Manage favourite contacts menu working without issue.

Do you have the standard dialer or Google Dialer? That's the only thing I can think may be interfering with it
