I use SMS popup for notifications yes.

Hi to all,
Maybe I misunderstand the purpose of this app or its not working as intended.
I just tried calling from one of my phones to my nexus 4 and ive entered that number that I'm calling from to the list of contacts so that it wouldn't show. However:
1. The app actually allows the incoming call to be displayed. Maybe that's intended but I was thinking it would just give you information of whatever you configured it to say. Let's say I configured it to say "app update" but instead of that I'm getting normal phonecall and number is displayed.
2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.
3. Yes the call doesn't show in call log.
Apart from that UI is very well done. But I'm not sure if its intended behaviour or I'm missing something. Let's say I didn't want someone to see who's calling me and instead her a notification of whatever I assigned to it. Not sure if I expressed myself clear but it's early version so maybe more features will come.
Thanks to dev

For an incoming call, you will see caller's number, name (if it's in your phone book), picture (if it's in your phone book).
If you don't want to show name/picture, just remove it out from your phone book
If you want to show "app update", please rename that contact in your phone book to "app update".
Sorry that Shady Contacts does not modify your phone book in that way
2. The number is actually visible in notification menu and plus it shows additional icon of "app update". However when you press on the number on the notification menu it will take you to the app.

Jelly MIUI JLM First Edition

Sorry but due to issues between me and xda I will no longer have anything here on xda. I will be posting on other forums so come find me there. I refuse to be part of a forum who will not follow it's own rules and regulations.
Peace,
Love, and

So I have been using this ugly stock miui launcher for one reason. I heard from that the jelly bean miui really sucks some juice. These shots were after a 1 1/2 hours of almost constant use. As you can see in the pictures my signal sucks when I am inside, I am using wifi and this phone is active. At the rate I am going the battery will last about 8 hours for an 3500 mA extended battery. Now that might sound steep but under the same conditions other jb roms can be as little as 4 hours. Now for real world life I would say the average stock battery should run 8 or more hours with normal use and decent signal.
Now there are special feature in the MIUI that are not in the normal MIUI that you might want to know about. First off if you remember DND well that has changed to Firewall and for those new to this here is what it does.
You can setup multiple types of filters for calls and text
You have a white list, black list, plus anti-stranger mode (non address book block)
anti-private mode (privite numbers are filtered)
keyword spam filter. All these settings effect call, sms, and mms
Once the filters are set then you can setup a blocking schedule with a start and stop time or all day
You can also manually turn it off and on
There is built in screen capture by a toggle or keystroke combo
You can lock the screen buttons (home, menu, back, search)
There is a guard mode that requires a password to see gallery, sms, mms, call log and some other things
You also have built in 2way call recording with any kernel
You place the call click on the tools option on the dialer and you have multiple options on of which is record
It also comes with network assistant to monitor data usage
You can set a limit and then it will automatically block data usage when that limit is reached along with notifications when you are close to your limit
A built in backup program which saves all your apps/app data, settings, permissions, sms, mms, call logs the works
MIUI's superuser app call permissions managers it allows root access
but also monitors all the apps permissions such as sms, call, phone state, call monitoring, contacts, call logs, positioning (course and fine position), and phone id
You for each thing you can allow, ask, or deny access for each app
Then you have themes which unlike other roms you can mix and match parts such as
lockscreen, wallpapers, icons, status bar, boot animation, sms app, dialer, fonts
With sounds and wallpapers you can even use your own off the sd card or music player.
Oh yeah lets not forget since it is based off an miui.us build there is the miui.us toolbox
Status bar settings
center clock
hide am/pm
single bars (for non fans of having both 1x and 3x signal bars like in the old donut and cupcake days)
Custom carrier label
custom carrier logo (if you dont want a lable how about a picture)
change colors of
clock
carrier lable
signal bars
wifi icon
battery icon
or set all above to one color
also reset back to white
launcher settings (for stock launcher only)
hide status bar
hide icon text
resize widges (custom widget sizes)
There is a cpu tuner with typical features
abd over wifi
battery calibration tool
android id tool
invoke media scaner option
screen dpi
and this thing call fan-nav that i have not figured out yet
oh and this crazy desktop mode thing for the stock launcher you have to see the video of this it is weird
So talk about a feature packed rom. And if your not a fan of that ios style launcher you can just load on your favorite launcher and still get almost every feature of miui.
All this and more can now be found on a server near you!!
Peace,
Love, and
Happiness

also mine

Woot Woot!!This ones mine,nice work Jlmancuso.

Mine... and here's proof on a factory battery life.. BTW this miui ROCKS....

[APP]QSlide on the LG G2: A quick way to access frequently-used tools

Simple access to functions that usually sit in a 'tools' folder on your home screen
LG is using the G2 as a platform*for launching many new software features, one of which is QSlide — a new way to use small utility apps quickly without pulling you away from whatever else you're doing. Not to be confused with "Slide Aside" (that's a full-app multitasking feature), QSlide is a collection of apps launched from the notification shade that pop up over your current activity so you can multitask in a different way.
Simply pull down the notification shade and tap one of the handful of available options under the quick settings: Richnote, Videos, Email, Phone, Voice Mate, File Manager, Calendar or Calculator. A small windowed app will pop up without exiting your current app, letting you quickly get a task done and go back to the first. If you need to reference something else while you have a QSlide app open, just use the slider at the top of the window to change the transparency.
Once you've set the app to be transparent, you can interact with anything that is "underneath" it just as if it wasn't there. Go copy text, reference a web page or whatever else and then come back to your Richnote or Calculator entry. The apps can also be expanded to a full screen with just one tap. QSlide is an interesting feature that can save you from having a "tools' folder on your home screen for these common functions. Hang tight after the break for a video walkthrough of using QSlide on the LG G2.

This might sound strange but qslide is easily the most disappointing feature ive encountered so far. The fact that you can only use the ****tier LG versions of Google apps is a travesty. I only use the gmail client for multiple reasons, same with Google calendar. But alas LG decided to make their most powerful phone gimped by simple software limitations. I hope someone can hack a qslide app that would allow us to add non LG apps.

Completely agree! It uses up too much space when I can only use the phone and calculator. And you can't totally get rid of it either. I'd love the function if at least gmail and google calendar were options.

Qslide does have a toggle switch with the rest of the toggles. It removes the row of apps below the toggle row in the pull down.

There is actually a buid.prop line that sets the amount of apps you can open in qslide. Let me edit it and I'll report back
The line in the build prop you can edit is the following:
ro.lge.qslide.max.window=2 (2 is the default)

In your notification pull down, at the top, is your row of toggle buttons. Below that is the row of qslide apps. There is a qslide toggle button that will add or remove the row of qslide apps. The qslide toggle should be with the rest of the toggles, unless you edited the toggles and removed it. I've attached a picture to show the qslide button at the top.

Devlop! Thanks! When I got the phone and set it up in didn't understand Qslide, left it out, then wondered why those idiots at LG didn't give us a way to hide that row. I, evidently, am the idiot, lol ?

Only difference I see between the Verizon and Tmo variants is that one says Memo (Tmo) and the Verizon version calls it "Rich Note" (I removed Voice Mate from my phone completely)
EDIT: I also see Verizon has no Calendar OR Browser in their qslide app.
But, I know Verizon doesn't have the Browser app. Theirs comes with Chrome. Which I wager to bet it's because the Browser has flash enabled and that eats up data QUICK (Hey I've watch some pay per views on one of my favorite streaming site from my phone a couple of times)

[APP][TUT] Google Dialer in Moto X

GOOGLE DIALER
Google's Dialer With Built-in Search Is Exclusive To Nexus And GPE Devices, But You Can Install It Manually On Other KitKat ROMs
DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! THE XDA-DEVELOPERS FORUM AND I WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE!
Of all the announced*new features of the Nexus 5 and Android 4.4/KiKat, one of the cooler ones was a new dialer colloquially known as the "KitKat dialer." It features a revamped UI and includes the ability to search for businesses, contacts, etc. right from inside the dialer. It also features*internet-based caller ID. The name "KitKat dialer," however, is not entirely accurate.
Background:
Google Dialer (its official name) is not technically part of KitKat because it is not included in AOSP. It is a closed-source alternative to the regular AOSP dialer, much in the way that Google Play Music replaces the AOSP music app and Chrome replaces the AOSP browser. The name "KitKat dialer" refers to the fact that Google launched it on the Nexus 5, which was KitKat's launch device.

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Unlike one of the other new apps introduced alongside KitKat, the Google Experience Launcher -*which is a Nexus 5 exclusive*- Google actually saw fit to release its revamped dialer application to other Nexus and Google Play Edition phones. Unfortunately, outside of that universe the dialer is unavailable, at least officially. At some time down the road, Google could easily decide to offer it through the Play Store but there's no indication of that happening in the foreseeable future. Until that day arrives, you can install it manually.
Installation Procedure:
Before beginning, you must be rooted and running either an official or custom KitKat ROM on your phone. Google Dialer will not install on any version of Android prior to 4.4.
Download either the APK file or the flashable ZIP file using the links at the bottom of this post. The APK was pulled directly from a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.2.Flash the ZIP file in a custom recovery, or copy the APK file directly into /system/priv-app.If you opted to move the APK file manually, you'll need to set the permissions on the APK to 644 after moving it into its proper folder. Do this either through your file manager app or via a shell.Reboot your phone.
Possible Problems And Questions:
During tests on various phones and settings, found some issues that are worth mentioning, and some questions that some of you will probably have.
Can this be installed without root?
This question can only be answered with another question. Do you want to be able to make calls? While yes, the app can be installed without root, it requires permissions that are only available to apps that are signed with a platform key or installed in /system/priv-app. What that means in practical terms is that if you install the app without root, the actual searching function will work, but you will not be able to make calls.
I installed the app but the icon doesn't show up in my app. What can I do?
If this happens on your phone, the only solution we found was to use Nova Launcher because it has a feature that allows you to run a specific activity within an app. To set this up:
01-Within Nova Launcher, long-press on the home screen.
02-Choose "Shortcuts"
03-Select "Activities"
04-Find "Google Dialer" in the list, then tap to open it up, and select "Phone" (use the first one in the list)
This will put a shortcut to the dialer on your home screen. At this stage, you can use this to access Google Dialer. It's not the cleanest solution, but it does work.
Can I disable my default dialer?
The short answer is no. As a general rule, you will need to keep your present dialer enabled in order to receive calls. The long answer is that on some phones you might be able to disable your stock dialer, but on others you definitely cannot. Feel free to try it on your own device and let us know what your results are.
Download:
Here are both a flashable ZIP file as well as the lone APK file. If you want to flash in recovery, use the ZIP file. If old-school is more your thing, download the APK and put it in /system/priv-app manually.

Xposed / Gravity Box (KK) is able to do that.
I have my status bar in a nice green-themed color, and I just LOVE having network upload/download speeds in the status bar itself....
Good Luck

So if your leaving the original dialer in place this means incoming calls will not get the benefit of the google dialer caller id... correct?

I'm still testing it, but I believe with a automator function as Tasker can solve this. Create a specific profile and choose which app should run for receiving calls. Come on trying!

NO NO didnt mean to sound like I was complaining was simply trying to outline what it could and could not do in this configuration. The search feature that lets you find local places in the dialer works great and getting rid of that ugly themed 443 dialer are huge plusses all by themselves

Got it bro. Relax! No problem! Actually installed it last night and to tell the truth and hardly mechi. I know it works! If he does not receive the call because the existence of the default dialer, just automate it into action when the phone rings and disable the standard for receipt of calls.

This dialer is included by default in 4.4.3. Isn't it?

At least in my Moto X update was not not. Already running 4.4.3 and has no options Google Dialer. From what I researched this dialer is unique to Nexus. But it is working on my device now.

Agreed the 443 dialer is the same dialer as 442 just themed differently with white and bright blue, no addition google features.

If you miss a call and then choose the google dialer history, does the history button in the google dialer start working?

The same way you would make any app your default SMS app. Two ways:
1. Open app click on 'Settings' in menu and then click the preference at the top that says "SMS Disabled"
2. Go to device settings, 'Wireless & Networks' > 'More...' > Default SMS App

Please add message templates with swipe gestures from cm

I'll get to that. Should be simple enough.
B10 is on first post with quick reply from notification

Just 2 requests for this awesome app pleaseee!!
1. Android Wear support.
2. Please add support for MMS over JUST WiFi (no data needed), Sprint and T-Mobile support this and the Dev of 8sms has it implemented perfectly!
I can test both for you also if you'd like :good:

Just wanted to say, love the app. Finally a messaging app that is simple, clean and quick. I really prefer the default messenger but hated the contact pictures that Android forces. Glad to see them taken out.
Keep up the good work.

Can you add the blue theme that was in the playstore app ? and the possibility to disable android stock green emoticone, they're so much anoying and i think that most of people prefer ascii smiley and emoji (that already included )

Please add an option to have NO SLIDING at all. And please add translucent statusbar color and round text bubbles?

Great app! Looks and works excellent. If I may make 1 suggestion, can the action bar (create new message, settings) be moved to the bottom of the app screen? Its easier to reach with my thumb when I'm on the go. I've seen other MMS apps using it that way so I hope its possible. Thanks.

Please include more options for MMS like auto save images and auto-enable data from mobile networks. I can't use this app since I can't automatically receive MMS. I think the only app that have such options is textra, and thats what I use.

Yes I'll be doing a lot of work on theming again soon. There were some other things I had to take care of and I figured the two themes provided would be enough for the time being. I will add a no sliding option as well, I've had numerous requests for it.

I'm not sure what you mean. I could save MMS to sdcard automatically. But the app already auto retrieves MMS.

When someone send me a MMS I got to have my mobile data (3g/4g/LTE ) activated to receive immediately that MMS, or else, only when I enable mobile data I will receive it.
I have tested with a lot of SMS apps and textra was the only one that have that option for MMS: turn mobile data on ( for automatically turn it on, receive MMS, and turn it off).

Ah gotcha. So you leave your mobile data off normally and would have the app turn it on just to download the MMS then back off again. That should be fairly easy to do.

I feel like it would be preferable to be notified of the mms and have the option to download it when you choose. But we'll see what I come up with.
Also, B12 is on the first post. Please read the changelog

Great app but often miss notifications. Both my gf and I are experiencing this issue. Running stock moto x on 4.4.2.
Oops sorry didn't realize this is different from the play store version. Will give this a go! Thanks
