[APP][ICS+] ContactsNotification +Sidebar v2.00 Final

[APP][ICS+] ContactsNotification +Sidebar v2.00 Final - Android Apps and Games

I present here a new app.
It allows you to choose up to eight contacts, which will be shown in a notification or a configurable sidebar. Tapping the contacts will allow you to call, message, whatsapp, email or many other things. This allows a faster workflow when you need to call someone when you are doing other things.
Just install the apk, open the Contacts Notification app, choose your contacts and press update.
The notification will automatically appear after a reboot, so you only need to do this once or to change your favorite contacts.
I promise I am not storing or doing anything with your contacts.
Market link:
Contacts notification +sidebar
Custom themes:Go to your sdcard, folder ContactsNotification/overlays.
There create a folder, for example, mytheme.
Into that theme add a border.png, sms.png and phone.png file. They must be 500x500px png files. pohne.png and sms.png must have border if you want it to show. A sample file, called "holo by dapaua.zip" is included.
To show the sidebar (if enabled) , just slide your finger over the trigger area.
Code:
TASKER support.
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ACTION_NAME
Where ACTION_NAME is:
POST_NOTIFICATION. Posts or refreshes the notification
HIDE_NOTIFICATION. Hides the notification
ENABLE_SET_A. Enables contact set A. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
ENABLE_SET_B. Enables contact set B. Use POST_NOTIFICATION afterwards
Use of this command line with Tasker:
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_A.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_A
Create a new task, call it CN_enable_B.
Add an action of the type Script - Run Shell.
in command , type:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B ; am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action POST_NOTIFICATION
if you are using the sidebar, type only:
am startservice -a com.dapaua.contactsnotification.ACTIONS -e action ENABLE_SET_B
Use these two tasks to change the sets on the notification. You can use it with a timer, or position, or whatever. I am not going to explain how tasker works. I implemented this because I was asked to and I found it interesting.

HISTORY
Version1.1 has some cosmetic changes in the notification.
-----
Version1.2a:
-Up to 6 contacts can now be added. Small screens may show really small icons for last contacts.

-Slightly nicer settings screen.

Should show facebook too. It should show all linked accounts and services for the contacts.
I'll add screenshots next week.

Updates
I added the market link, it'll work in some hours, according to google. Also added the required screenshots. Enjoy.

Nice idea but shame it's only for ICS. I still have Atrix on Gingerbread. :/

Cute and quick!
Since no text is displayed, for most contacts, I only have the default avatar-icon. So it alternates two gray-scales but that does not tell me the contacts.
For contacts with no avatar or picture, could have or text (may be option with pic as well!) or a way to choose one of a few icons. Of course, I should just take some pictures and use them.
BTW, one of Nokia's weird half-touch GUIs used such a scheme for its contacts.

You are right, I am thinking about showing text for contacts with no picture.
But you should definitely add pictures to your contacts. They will show on all your android devices, and even on your computer if you use gmail. I know that it is a time investment to set all your contact info, merging all contacts (you know "dad home", "dad mobile" ) . But it will make your phone much more useful if you do.
I didn't know Nokia phones did that.
Thanks for the suggestions.

I just checked out both your apps at the play store. Great ideas and potential.
Keep up!

I don't know if it's just my phone/set up (Evo 4G, Evervolv JB nightly 02/18/2013), but when I tap the icon in the notification drawer, I have to pull the drawer up manually to get to that contact; if this is how it's supposed to work, it'd be helpful if it automatically pulled the shade up so your contact is waiting there for you. Other than that, cool app and very handy!

It should automatically fold the notification drawer. It did in my trials. I don't know why is it not working for you.

Another idea: Than 4-5 would be too much but the alternative for those who really do want more would be ... slide 'em. I think Nokia's widget works that way.

I could add more contacts, I just thought four were enough. In my screen more than four wouldn't fit, though.
I cannot make them slide, because notifcations cannot be laterally scrolled. They can be expanded in JB, but I don't have a JB phone to try it, and the emulator doesn't really work properly.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Nice app! I have two feature requests:
1. Can you remove the icon in status bar? I like to see the carrier name and on my AT&T Samsung GS3 your app icon replaces that.
2. Could you add a feature to configure a default action for a contact such as "call mobile" or "call home" or "sms", etc? I'd like to just hit the icon and have it start dialing. If you can do this you want want to add some overlay text or an icon to indicate the action (a phone or text icon).

I can do both things and I think these are very good ideas. I'll implement them if I find some time. I'm a bit busy right now, but for sure I'll add these options.
Thank you very much!

Great app with a lot of potential.
Some suggestions (also mentioned by some other users)
1.Give option to show or not the icon in taskbar
2.Allow to choose default actions when icon is pressed for direct calling
3.Give option to show selected contacts OR latest contacts from call log (it will give the program a call notification function also) !
4.Fix the total look especially in the settings and a quick way to access them (maybe put small settings icon-half size,before the 5 contact pictures.
5.Translate it If you want Greek i can do it for you
Thanks and keep up the good work :good:

Tried both the apk on here and also from the Play Store, both had the same problem. Could just be the ROM I'm using, still a cool app, I'll keep up with the versions to come!

Please 2.3.6 gaaxy ace s5830c version.
The version on play store its not compatible with galaxy ace 2.3.6

On my Galaxy Note 1, with ICS, I'm sorry to say it won't open the contact. It hangs and hangs and eventually I have to fc contacts.

It happens with Galaxy note 1, I tried with one and the same thing happened. It is because some sort of bug in samsung Contacts app, that's why it is contacts that FC and not my app. I don't know how to fix or go around that bug. I am sorry.

[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!

Ability to take a picture with the camera directly when adding/editing a contact. Screenshot: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5239577&postcount=352
Added copy to context menu when viewing a contact so you can copy a contact's number, address, email, etc. directly. Thanks to vinz0r for suggestion.
Added preference to hide all "Text/SMS" actions except for mobile numbers. Thanks to nolageek for suggestion.

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:

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

MIUI for Beginners[/CENTER]
Source: http://en.miui.com/a-10.html
Already flashed MIUI ROM? OK, pick up your phone now, let’s start our happy journey of MIUI ROM.
The first step: selecting apps
Various apps will greatly enrich your cell phone, so firstly let’s select the apps to your taste. Use the Android Market and download what you would like. If you are using a backup app and restoring apps from a previous ROM, only restore the apps and not the data. Otherwise that will create a lot of force close issues.
Tip: How to copy files from the computer to the phone? First connect your phone to your computer via data cable, pull down the notification panel from the top of the phone, click “USB connected”, and then click "Turn on USB storage”.
After copying, do not forget to select the option of “Turn off USB storage”, otherwise "File Manager” in the phone will not be able to find the sd card, as it is being occupied by the computer.
Now I have a lot of apps, how to put them in order?
All apps successfully installed are listed on the desktop, however, they may not be in the order you want, how to put them in order?
Long press an app icon and then you may move it freely. When it is moved to the screen border, the screen will automatically switch to the next screen.
How to add a screen? Use two fingers to pinch on the desktop to enter screen thumbnail mode. Then you may add or delete screens.
How to delete an app? Long press the app icon you want to delete, drag it on top of the trash box and click OK to delete it.
The second step: let's make your phone different.
A phone without style is nothing remarkable, so let’s make your phone different!
Changing wallpaper: Click Menu button on the desktop, select “Change Wallpaper” to replace the wallpaper. In addition to the existing wallpaper in the phone, thousands of pieces of wallpaper are also available online.
Changing theme: Themes make great changes to your interface style. Click “Theme Manager” on the desktop to select the theme you like. Also, more online themes are available online.
Selecting ringtones and more: click “Settings” on the desktop to set call and notification ringtones. In “Personalization” under “Personal” tab, you may find more options.
The third step: it’s time for some advanced techniques!
Well, you are no longer a beginner now, so let’s learn some advanced techniques.
Adding widgets on the desktop: press the Menu button on the desktop, select "Edit Mode", and then click the icon on the upper right corner to access the interface of “Add Widgets”. Choose your favorite widget on the top, and then drag it to the screen below.
Using folders to manage desktop apps: in the interface of “Add Widgets”, drag [Folder] to the desktop. You may drag multiple apps into folders to classify them. After opening the folder, you may click the edit icon in the upper left corner to rename the folder.

On the panel are listed the most commonly used toggles, you may click to quickly enable or disable a toggle. Long press on the icon will launch the settings for that icon.

yes there is a fix in rom manager aswell

Think my thread I opened for this can be shut now I guess!
Where did the aGPS fix come from?
Ephumuris.

So this is the official MIUI build? Not based on the Quarx rom?

I LOVE it THANKS

What is the difference between this version and MiuiAndroid.com version?
Is any of these official?
[EDIT] Found the answer to the second question on en.miui.com
The following are unofficial versions of MIUI ROM made by MIUI fans.Please let us express our heartfelt thanks to them! Please note that unofficial ROMs are not tested by official MIUI Developer Team, so be careful with your choice.

I'm installing this for now anyway, seeing how it runs, if it's a dud, then I will go back to AOSP UK 2.2 if I can? Wonder if MIUI will keep to there 'Update every week' promise. lol, thanks anyway

Themes force closing for me on this...did a fresh install (wiped data/cache/davlik). I thought the OP stated that theme manager was fixed.

There's a fix in the first post of the original thread in their forum. He already said that the support for this ROM will be given there.

I don't see the fix on the first page of this post (maybe it's buried, wouldn't be the first time I missed something as my wife will testify to). Anyway, here is is (taken from the official site of MIUI.US).

Text Aide started out as a simple Xposed module called Text Xposed to add 3 options (Define, Search and Share) to the Contextual Action Bar when some text was selected while typing.
But now it has a lot of features which do not require Xposed at all.
â€¢ Define Picking up from xDictionary by @perseus0807, this displays the definition of the selected word as a pop-up. Ideal when you are reading an e-book or a news article and find it rather distracting to open a dictionary app again and again.
There are two ways to do this without Xposed
â€¢ First is to activate a feature called "Copy to define" from the settings. As the name suggests, you just have to select some text and hit the copy button.
It can be easily paused from the notification when you don't need it.
Enabling the + button shows you a pop-up with the copied text, which is useful in apps like WhatsApp where a word can't be selected singularly from the chats
â€¢ Second is to share the text and select Define
â€¢ Third is to use the homescreen widget
â€¢ For Play Books you can also use "Web search" feature. And for Moon+, FB Reader dictionary feature choose "ColorDict"
â€¢ Offline definitions available in 5 languages currently: English, French, German, Italian and Spanish
â€¢ For more languages you can use my app Dict Aide which supports StarDict dictionary packs
â€¢ Online thesaurus with a list of synonyms and antonyms
â€¢ In addition to that, you can quickly switch to Wikipedia for additional information and Wiktionary for languages that currently do not have offline access. You can do this in any language! Just modify it in the settings.
â€¢ Expand This gives you system wide text expansion. You can define a macro (shortcut) like @addhome to type your full home address! Very useful if you type something often.
Just set a shortcut and let Text Aide do the rest!
â€¢ Search You can add a list of your favourite search engines and access them quickly from a sidebar. Also includes a floating browser
â€¢ First way is to use Copy Aide and enable the search button from the notification.
â€¢ Second is to share the text and then select 'Enhanced Search' from the dialog
â€¢ Third is to use the search button in AOSP (based) browsers or apps like Wikipedia.
â€¢ It can also be done using the homescreen widget
â€¢ Share You can do the following things by sharing text
â€¢ Copy - As the name suggests, you can copy it from the share menu
This will also be shown in browser selection menu (when you tap on a link).
â€¢ Dial You can use the shared text to place a call.
â€¢ Open As URL - This allows you to open the selected text in the web browser as a URL/link (if it's valid).
â€¢ Speak Using this feature, you can make (almost) any text on your device speak using TTS engine.
This can be very useful if you're learning a new language!
Please watch the video for a good demo on how to use it.
Xposed gives you additional control. You can double tap a TextView (which means fields like WhatsApp chat bubbles, YouTube comments, Play store description,etc) to force selection.
This, however, has some limitations and might not work in all apps.
You will also get all the five buttons (Define, Dial, Search+, Share & Speak) in the contextual action bar on selecting some text in most apps.
For Chrome, you can use my module called Chrome Selection Patch
Browsers like Dolphin, Opera, etc are not supported
Installation
Download from Play Store or Xposed repository and install as any other app
Known Bugs
Overflow button gets camouflaged if the background of action bar is white (Android bug)
Selection handles and paste button overlap the overflow menu
Anything else? Let me know
To Do
HTC Compatibility
Add more search engines
Upload to Github for translations, etc
Browser support
Thesaurus

2.1
Quick fix update
- Improved pop-up: Smaller size and better padding. Must look much better now
2.0
Major Release!
The Define framework has been revamped completely!
It was previously based on xDictionary's code, and hence used "WordNet" database for definitions. Unfortunately, it lacked many words, as you must have experienced.
Now, Text Xposed has switched to Livio's Dictionary Provider code.
Advantages
- The most obvious advantage is that the module's size has shrunk to ~50 KB.
- The defintion is now displayed using WebView, so you can pinch to zoom and select text inside it to copy or share
- Livio's dictionary is very comprehensive. You can even search for small words like is, that, etc. And it gives you etymology, synonyms, translations, etc along with the defintion!
- The module and dictionary app complement each other really well. You have a different UI to search for words, when Text Xposed is not accessible.
- You get proper and direct updates for the dictionary from Play store and I don't have to worry about maintaining the dictionary.
- Livio provides more dictionary packs for Italian, French, German and Spanish. Support for these will be added eventually, but low priority for now.
If there are many requests, I might do it earlier though.
Other Changes
- Toast is now gone. Although, it is possible to extract a part of the definition, I felt the main chunks were still too big for a toast.
- I will, however add a time-out option for the pop-up.
- HTC compatibility implemented. Need some more feedback though
- Code Cleanup
TL;DR - Just tell me what to do
- Ok so first of all, delete the "xdictionary" folder. It is no longer needed.
- Then you need Livio dictionary. Either download from here, or press the Define button after a reboot. It will show you a dialog with the link
1.1
- Fixed Define for some devices
- Changed toast for dictionary data copy confirmation
- Other minor changes
1.0
- Initial

Chrome Selection Patch
This an add-on module which allows you enable Search and Share in edit fields of Chrome
AND Search in Incognito mode.
If Text Aide is installed as well, Define, Dial & Search+ will also be available.
Available in Xposed repository

By “pops up” you mean next to the paste button?
And yes web view needs define option. Added to my to-do list! But some browsers use custom action bars. Might not work with those

I meant the screenshot in my first post. The app I'm using there is WhatsApp. And since you have a Nexus, it should work without any problem.
I'll take a look at your log
Were the dictionary files copied properly. You should've seen a “Done” toast appear?

screenshots
here some screen shots just in case

i did say successfully installed ,it is 33mb 9 files . and i can define the word test within ur app .

Oh yes you did mention that. I'm sorry. Very late here and I'm sleepy
And I don't think there are any errors related to this module in your log. Will have a look again in the morning.

No problem . tomorrow is another day . hopefully we'll find out what went wrong . thanks a lot & good night.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
[Q]: What is the difference between Textra and Google Messenger?
[A]: A Comprehensive and Thorough User Level Comparison Review of Google's "Messenger" VS Delicious Inc.'s "Textra SMS"
It has also occurred to me that many users don't actually know the difference between the two (other than the fact that Textra comes with a dark skin default which is changeable). So I have taken the time to compare the many different abilities and functions that each app provides in comparison to each other (at user level).
I hope that you find this informative enough to make a decision in the future as to which you would prefer. So without further delay, I present to you my review.
Now many of you may not care about the messaging app as you've selected Hangouts to be your default SMS receiver. For those of you like myself however that prefer SMS messages to be kept separate from hangouts, this may be of good use to you.
So to the Left we have Messenger and to the Right we have Textra.
Right off the bat you will notice that Textra does a full system theme where your status bar coloring is altered to reflect the theme (as with most of our apps including our Kit Kat stock Message) where as in Messenger it remains untouched.
You will also notice that the contact icons in Messenger are slightly larger than those appearing in Textra which I personally feel would limit the amount of text being displayed due to the "create a new message" button covering the last recent message. Yet the font is slightly larger in that of the Textra app making it easier to read which is what we care about most in a messaging app.
Both layouts appear to be nearly identical with exception to color.
Here we have an example where a single message has been long pressed.
In Messenger, the message selected is indicated by a slight discoloration of the field in which the text inhabits along with changing the contact icon to a Blue Checkmark (which only deselects the message if pressed). Notice also the create a new message icon disappears (as it is not needed for this current function).
In Textra, the message selected is indicated by a highlighted check mark that shuffles in from the left of the message (shuffling the message dates to the right off screen). Additionally, the create a new message button in the bottom right corner becomes a grayed out Checkmark which when pressed, changes color and selects every message currently in the chat summary. However, there is no Archive function built into Textra as there is in Messenger which for some of you, very well may be a deal breaker as you may actually use that function (I don't).
The options that appear above in Messenger are that of cancel (go back), Archive, Delete, and options.
The options that appear above in Textra are that of cancel (go back) Silence notifications, delete, and options.
In the following two images, we see what a multi message selections looks like in both Messenger on the left, and Textra on the right.
Immediately in Messenger, the options button vanishes and converts into simply silence notifications (as that is apparently the only multi message function it can perform).
However in Textra, the options to silence, delete, and "options" remain.
I have gone and deselected one of the messages in both Messenger and Textra so that we can compare and explore the options that are presented for a selected message (since it disappears in Messenger if multiple messages are selected). However, I have included the multi selected messages in Textra also so that you can see the options remain unchanged.
To the left, Messenger displays the only options to be Silencing notifications (which for some reason was not available until multi messages were selected) Add contact which adds the person to your contacts if not already, and block or “blacklisting” (which prevents you from receiving their messages).
To the Right, Textra displays Notifications Settings, Bubble Color settings, Delivery Report settings, Signatures, and black listing. Keep in mind also that silencing notifications is already present in the main window as well.
Since we pretty much already know what Notifications off, add contact, and block do, we will go over them through Textra while we explore the additional options it has to offer in the next images to follow.
We now are looking at the notifications settings specifically for the selected messages. What you will notice, is that in Textra you can define message/people specific themes, options, and settings.
In here you can enable or disable notifications on the main page.
Tap Notifications allow you to select the action to be taken when you tap a message notification from that specific message/person. You can choose to open a floating quick reply window that will disappear after you send a message and resume whatever activity you were currently doing, or you can have it open textra like most stock messaging apps will do.
Floating notifications settings will allow you to decide the duration of the pop up notification for that specific contact (should you decide to have pop up notifications in the previous setting)
Notification Icon Settings allows you to decide what color that selected contact/message should appear in. As you can see, there are 44 different color options to choose from (wow!)
LED Blink Color is an awesome option for phones that support it. You have the ability to specify what color your selected message/contact should appear in when you have received a message from them. While our device doesn't support every color listed, I have taken the liberty of providing you with the huge variety of LED colors that actually do work for our device: Green & Red.
Default Notification sound although "says" Ringtone, actually pulls from your notifications folder (like it's supposed to).
Vibrate Settings allow you to set specific vibration instructions for that particular selected contact/message.
Now, if you've elected to allow vibrations, you can go so far as to even select contact/message specific vibrate patterns!
Wake Up Screen options allow you to decide whether or not a message from that particularly selected individual should wake your phone and turn screen on or not.
Repeat notifications let's you decide how often your phone should harass you for not checking or acknowledging the newly received message per contact/person. Hey if it's mom you may actually want it to keep telling you her message is waiting to be seen
This ends all the options available for Notifications.
Backing out now we select the option to go into Bubble Colors for the specific contact/message. You can decide what color your text bubbles should be in, and what color their text bubbles should be in. Check it out, you have 42 color options
This ends the options available for Bubbles.
Backing out now we select the option for Delivery Reports
Here you can decide if you want to receive a report for a MMS or SMS message successfully received by the end user's device to which you sent a message to. Very handy for those who claim they never got your message or simply informative to you for those who honestly didn't receive it and perhaps should be called.
This ends the options available for Delivery Reports.
Backing out now we select the option for Signatures to be displayed in your messages to these specifically selected individuals. After having opted to include a message, you can edit and create your own. Note that after confirming your new signature, the signature displayed looks overwritten but a quick back out and back in to the Settings will provide you with visual proof of the correct change. (This is likely a glitch they are probably working out).
This ends the options available for Signatures.
Backing out and selecting the Blacklist option will immediately BlackList (block) those messages selected from ever being received to your device again. Don't worry however, as this can be undone by going to the main settings for the app outside of these message specific options we've explored through this review. Pay no mind to the fact that I just blacklisted my mother-in-law by "accident"
Deselecting all the contacts in both Messenger (Hey what was this app for again?) and Textra, we are now able to enter their Primary App Options via the same options button to the top right of both apps.
Notice that since Messenger has Archive functions, you are able to go into your Archived Messages as seen in the image above. Since I don't have any messages archived, none will appear but if you had used it to Archive them, that is where you would find them. This is the same feature that is present in Google Hangouts where you can archive a conversation for later viewing (and to keep it out of your primary chat summary).
On the main page you will see a search button (magnifying glass). Perhaps you had a conversation with someone a long time ago in your messages about a certain topic but can't remember who it was or when it took place. To easily recall that conversation, you can type in a word or phrase used in the message as indicated in these examples.
A very crucial thing here to note, is that Messenger will only highlight and provide you with the very last time the subject was ever discussed and take you back to that moment in time via clicking on it.
Textra however, will display a brief message from each and every time that particular subject was discussed and take you to that exact moment in time you were looking for by clicking on the specific search result.
Since it will be extremely brief, due to the minimal activity taking place in this app, we will go ahead and explore the main options taking place in Google's Messenger App first.
As you can see, aside from having 0 message specific settings, only very little remains for any of the global settings. Whether or not you want notifications for all incoming messages, one specific sound for all, whether or not all vibrate or don't, and your typical MMS settings which appear in every MMS app.
Now in Textra's Main Global Options/Settings, we see all the following choices.
Many of these you recognize from the per message/contact options/settings we covered earlier. These will be the primary settings to take place globally in no settings are specified per contact/message.
We will only cover those that were not covered in the individual settings.
Under the "About" option, selecting "What's New?" will give us a detailed change log for all the advancements Textra has made per release.
Enable Debugging is set for times when Textra provides support to you for an issue related to their app (wow)
Tell your friends allows you to share the playstore link for this app via a variety of different sharing options.
Resync Textra does what it says: Basically re-syncs all your messages should you have strayed away experimenting with other apps that intercept messages and wish to return to stability It will re-sync everything for you without changing any of your settings.
This ends the About Options.
Backing back out into Settings you'll notice a support button. Click this and you will have the option to contact the developers directly with any issues you may have that aren't listed in their provided Q&A/FAQ listed below. They also provide a button to tap to link directly to their Feedback Forum (yeah, they have one).
This ends the Support Options.
Backing back out into the main Settings, there is a Customize Look menu. Here you can change the text size of the fonts being viewed as presented in the image above.
You can also change the Dark Mode Settings to "Off", Dark (default) and Black.
In Theme color, you can change the overal theme color of the entire app! You have 40 selectable themes to choose form. Take notice of the checkmark and circle color of each theme you select. It is the color of your secondary colors like menu option font color, check boxes, etc.
Under the Default Notifications Settings, the only difference you'll see that wasn't discussed before is whether or not floating notifications will appear while the phone is both locked and unlocked (or duration of the notifications).
All the other settings are global and as mentioned before, work for all those who don't have individually set settings.
This ends our exploration of the Settings options.
Now, we go into a message as it appears in Messenger.
Uh oh, my chat window with my buddy Justin is in Pink and White?? Gee thanks Google.. Apparently, Google thought it would be cute to pre-select random theme colors per conversation in your messages. There is no way to change the color options as they appear in this conversation nor can you change any of your chat bubble colors or font sizes.
Long pressing a message as indicated in the second picture above yields a couple options. Delete that single post, return to the chat, Forward that post to another contact, or information regarding that post (type, from, to, sent, received).
There is no multi selection option, there is no swiping side to side for additional options or navigations. However options for the entire message is present without post selection.
Now in Textra, I'm happy to say that I have assigned this theme to the chat with my buddy and I.
Pressing on his image pulls up his personal info and gives me the option to call.
Swiping from left to right in the chat window sends me right back into my main chat summary.
Swiping from right to left however, will display the exact time and date of every sent and received message regardless of the time interval between as indicated in the 3rd image.
Long pressing a message gives me the option to multi-select individual posts where I can either trash them, send them all as a new message to someone in my contacts, forward the messages to another contact, copy the text, lock the individual posts, or share in an email Man I love options!
This concludes my review of both Textra VS Messenger.
I hope you have found it enlightening and will have taught you how to operate either app like a pro by the time Lollipop roms surface.
Guess now I should go and un-blackllist my Mother-In-Law
