PLEASE VISIT THE AUTHOR'S SITE ABOVE FOR DOWNLOAD OF THIS GREAT UPDATED FILE! I HAVE INCLUDED SCREENSHOTS OF THIS PROGRAM BELOW FOR YOUR VIEWING PLEASURE!
Description:
PocketCM is a finger friendly contact application for PDA phone, it will allow you to scroll to you list of contacts, call them and edit them.
Actually it's the rewrite in native of ContactManager, a .NET version of a finger friendly contact.
Are you using a VGA device? You'll need to download and install a VGA theme here.
If you are using a device with a 240px square screen, you'll need the a theme that support this screen size.
What's different from other contact application:
It can be used with fingers, no need to get your stylus. Finding contact with your finger is really easy, it's different than other software: if you press you finger on the left or right border of the screen it will allow you to select the letter you're searching for, release the finger, it will show you the contact starting with this letter. Why does it work? Human being cannot point directly to the right letter on a small screen, however human are very precise while moving their finger. So you press the screen, see the feedback, adjust the position to the right letter... and you're done!
It's animated: the list scroll with your finger in a natural movement, the transition between contact detail and contact list are animated.
You can set contact as favorites, they will appear in the favorite list, perfect to get a quicklist of contacts under the finger.
You can edit your contact picture from the software, simply tap on the contact picture.
You can customize about everything by changing the setting.ini: color, font, background image, etc...
From ContactManager here's what's new/modified:
- Native version: this version doesn't use .NET compact framework, it's written in C++.
- Faster version: I've put some time improving performance, on my device, it goes quite well, tell me about you.
- Faster display: drawing is also optimized, however, it may have some issue for advanced theming, tell me about it.
- New fade effect while calling/edit conact/set picture, this offer a better transition between application, tell me what you think.
- Contact update if added/changed/deleted from other application (including activesync).
- Memory footprint: No more .NET crap, picture of contact should also take less memory.
- Ability to remove contact picture.
- Edit contact now goes to edit page directly.
- New contact now goes to edit page directly.
- New theme packaging (a theme in one file instead of many).
- Letter bar between contact.
- New setting for non latin alphabet (coming with localization but now it's technically possible).
- SMS conversation panel: hitting SMS button now goes to an SMS page. It will allow to send an SMS display previous conversation with this contact...
Installation instruction:
- Create a new folder on your device.
- Unzip the content of the zip.
- Launch PocketCM.exe.
Note:
To close PocketCM Contacts, press for 250 ms to phone button at the bottom right of the screen. To minimize PocketCM Contacts, tap in the upper right corner.
To send SMS using PocketCM Contact, you have to hold the send button for at least 250 ms. It's a feature (that will be enhanced in future version) to avoid accidentaly send of messages.

Presents the Official
MIUI RELEASE
Donate to the man responsible to the EVO Gingerbread Build: StiffSpliff
StiffSpliff NEVER asked me to do this but we have to show some respect for his time. Donations keep Dev's from having to charge for sites and other things you see other Dev's doing now a days
I am not connected to these Paypal account's at all in fact I've only donated to it! Linked straight to StiffSpliff aka the man behind this
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
Welcome to the Original XDA support thread for the MIUI HTC EVO 4G and the Official XDA support thread for the MIUI.US version of the HTC EVO 4G port!
MIUI is an extraordinary ROM presented and ported all over the world. We are a worldwide family and this thread supports all HTC EVO 4G MIUI global users. Recent changes have led to the development of two separate HTC EVO 4G MIUI ports. In the interest of providing the most relevant and highest quality support, this thread offers specific support for the ORIGINAL version of the MIUI HTC EVO 4G ROM, which resides at MIUI.US. We will continue to discuss and support general questions about MIUI, however; if you are using the MIUI-devs version of the HTC EVO 4G port and need specific help with that port, we recommend posting your questions in the MIUI-devs home thread. Of course we would welcome you to join us on the Original port here at XDA or at MIUI.US.
As this XDA thread is comprised primarily of original MIUI users running the MIUI.US port it may be difficult for most of us to trouble shoot for a different version. With that stated, MIUI.US is built on cooperation, community and inclusion and we will do our best to assist any and all MIUI enthusiast regardless of port version, release date or handset. MIUI.US is the continuation of a tradition and a new beginning for MIUI on the HTC EVO 4G. Welcome to our community, we are glad you are here and hope you will join us in building the best community on the net!
Your XDA-MIUI.US HTC EVO 4G support team [Stiffspliff, Tyzing, EndlessDissent, Jasonk75 and Just_s & Manup for his amazing graphics, themes and our banner]
Kernel Info: Generally MIUI uses the CM7 stock kernel. Of course others can be used. For more info on the CM7 kernel and CM7 visit: http://bit.ly/z3Cz2O
[BUGS] Official Bugs Report Thread [GB][Fresh Start]
Unable to download from market
Solution: Open the "downloads" app from your homescreen, hit menu, and select download using wifi network. Then hit menu again, and re-select download using mobile network.
No 4G/WIMAX
Stop Asking, its in the works PS Stop asking
The illegible text bug (3rd party apps)
Solution: This is due to the Chinese devs at miui.com slowly implementing the new UI.
(using root explorer as an example)
Go to menu - settings - programs - manage applications - root explorer
Scroll down to "Compatibility mode" and toggle.
This will make root explorer usable.
This workaround may not work on all apps!
It's annoying, yes, but it's what we have at the moment.
Screen flashing black/white when scrolling
Solution: Toggle compatibility mode for that app. If it's on, turn it off. If it's off, turn it on.
No 720P video
Waiting for the Chinese to implement this. Or for CM to implement this. Currently not available on any cm7 or miui supported phone.
Some apps force closing i.e. Engadget, Mint.com, (tried uninstalling and re installing from market)
Solution: try running in compatibility mode, some apps are not 2.3 ready.
No FM Radio App
Solution: None Yet
GPS Menu Settings GPS Fix (Just_s Guide)
menu-settings-personal-my location
use wireless networks - ON (your wifi must be on, doesn't have to be connected)
use gps satellites- ON
see of gps works, if not, go back to same menu
go to gps configuration
in NTP server address, add a 0. in front, to make it 0.north-america.pool.ntp.org
supl server address: supl.google.com
supl server port: 7276
hit ok
**If you are in the US you can alternately set the NTP SERVER ADDRESS to us.pool.ntp.org. Elsewhere in North America should leave it as stiffspliff recommends above. Other countries should see this link: http://www.pool.ntp.org/en/use.html and note the 4th paragraph.
GPS Status & Toolbox Fix
Download 'GPS Status & Toolbox' from Market
Enable GPS
Open GPS Status & Toolbox
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Reset
Menu > Tools > Manage A-GPS state > Download
Menu > Tools > Compass calibration > follow popup directions
I know that these have helped several users and are much simpler and faster than the ##GPSCLRX# fix so they can be a good place to start.

MIUI for Beginners
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.
Click Net Disk on the desktop, and you’ll see MIUI has prepared a variety of amazing apps for you, including notes, audios, videos and IM and so on. You are free to choose and install what you like! (Please make sure your phone is connected to wifi.)
> You may also download more apps in electronic markets. You need to install the corresponding market (some can be downloaded in “Net Disk”), and then go get more apps.
> I’d like to install apps downloaded from the computer, what should I do? First copy the downloaded file (.apk) into your SD card. Then pick up your phone, click “File Manager” on the desktop, find the file you copied and click to install it.
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.
> Using toggles panel to improve efficiency: drag the notification panel down from the top, click "Toggles" to go to the toggles panel (It goes to the toggles panel in default of notice.) 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.
> Guest mode: enable the “Guest Mode” toggle in the panel, and your calls and text messages logs will be hidden, and all installed applications cannot be removed. You may have a try when you need to show your phone to guests or children.
> Importing contacts or binding accounts: you may use some apps to import a batch of contacts, or bind Google account directly in "Settings"> "Personal"> "Accounts & Sync Settings" to sync contacts at any time.
> How to print screens? Press "Menu" key and "Volume Down" key at the same time to print a screen. The printed image is saved in the directory of MIUI in the sd card.
> How to copy files from the computer without using the data cable? In case of a wifi connection, enter “File Manager” on the desktop, select the tab of "Remote Administration" to start the service, and then you will get an address. Enter the given address on the computer, then you may copy files without using a data cable!

MIUI In The News
MIUI is far from a "basement app" here is some news from MIUI:
http://technode.com/2011/04/14/rumour-lei-jun’s-miui-android-rom-teams-up-with-guess-who/
Lei Jun is ex-Kingsoft CEO (like Microsoft), co-founder of Joyo.com (sold to Amazon), now Chairman of Great Wall Club and Angel Investor. His newer product, MIUI under his start-up Xiaomi, is stirring rumours about an OEM partnership.
MIUI is a 3rd party Android ROM tailored for the Chinese market. Think about it like a layer on top of your Windows OS on your computer, to make it more customised and personal, but on mobile. From their website it says it enables faster dialling, better security and a big library of themes and skins.
Last weekend at a developer conference there was some chatter about MIUI partnering with a big OEM. We can speculate it could be with Samsung, Motorola or LG because all are bringing their Android phones into the Chinese market. We have reason to suspect the OEM partner is Motorola because as an American based OEM, they know less about Chinese user behaviour compared to Korean based Samsung or LG. It has also been reported that Dianxin, another Android ROM incubated under Innovation Works is partnering with Sharp. Motorola needs to make a good impression to stand out in China, where competition with other Android phone’s is fierce

http://technode.com/2011/01/13/why-xiaomi-raised-35millions-to-design-a-real-phone/
Xiaomi is an iPhone/Android development company invested by Lei Jun, the board chairman of UCWeb, the leading Chinese mobile browser; ex-executive director of Kingsoft; co-founder of Joyo.com which is sold to Amazon at 2004. We used to report that,
Xiaomi has raised another round of $35million from Morningside Venture and Qiming Venture partner. The valuation of Xiaomi is reported at $200million.
$200million valuation?! Seriously, as an iPhone/Android development company, Xiaomi is able to attract that much of attention and money, which sounds insane. I could not get it, until yesterday two friends both confirmed with me, Xiaomi is not just about designing mobile applications, but designing a phone, I mean a real phone.
Looking at Lei Jun’s recent investment, I am totally impressed,
UCWeb – the leading Mobile browser (our previous coverage);
Xiaomi – one of the most promising iPhone/Android development company which already released several applications including Xiaomi Reader (iBooks like) and Miliao (a copycat of Kik);
MIUI – Android-based mobile OS;
Xiaomi Phone?!
So Lei Jun has the mobile operating system, the browser and the applications, once there is a nice phone, he actually is able to reach all the important sectors in future’s mobile phone industry. Smart!
The rumor says that the phone will come into the market in Q3, 2011. Is Lei Jun building a Chinese Apple?

Drag the file to your SD/MIUI/THEME
Then you'll see the theme in the theme manager
Also make sure you did a full wipe. Some of these issues have been fixed in the ROM that should be released tonight or tomorrow

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'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.
This app makes use of gesture as privacy protection. You can have secret gestures to answer or reject the phone and no other people can do so. Besides, you may choose what kind of information will be shown on the calling screen, such as:
- Caller photo
- Caller name
- Caller Nickname
- Caller organization
- Caller organization Title
More than that, you can apply the control to all incoming calls or only to those contact persons you have selected for protection.
ACG also bring cosmetic changes convenience to your device. The caller photo is shown in full screen with scrolling effects. All existing contact photos are still usable no matter what your phone’s screen resolution is. The touch buttons are removed from the incoming call screen to prevent accidental answer or reject. Also, long swiping slide bars are gone. One hand operation is possible as you can easily define custom gestures by a thumb. There is a built-in practice blackboard for you to get familiar with the gesture drawing.
ACG is compatible with Android 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3.x. It has been tested in different brands and models such as HTC, and Sony. Tuning options are available to suit the needs of various devices to achieve the best performance.
Bonus feature: Don’t Disturb Mode

Some users are asking about the ad blocker comes with their custom ROM and which affects ACG to run. It is quite easy to fix. The idea is to restore the /system/etc/hosts file back to the original as in the stock ROMs. I usually use the rootexplorer to edit the hosts file after installing a custom ROM. Just remove all lines EXCEPT the following:

Advanced Features:
- Use your current android contact picture as fullscreen caller ID (Licensed only!)
- Selectively enable only for outgoing/incoming calls
- Sync your android contact database to use your UCS-defined callscreen HD pictures, or batch-upload a set of pictures from your sdcard

- Missed calls viewer
- You can ALWAYS go back to the default phone interface during a call, simply by pressing the phone "Back" while on a call
- Much MUCH more! Take a look through the available settings!
Getting Started and Important Notes
- To use the dialpad and other in-call functions, press the "Back" button on a call to bring up the default phone interface! Due to security restrictions imposed by Google, it's impossible for me to provide a working dialer during an ongoing non-VoIP call.
- In version V5.0.0 and upwards, the model of the free version changed due to userbase request. Almost all functions are available, but there is a personalizable contact limit.

Theming guide
This is a tutorial on how to build themes for UCS. You will need the Android SDK and Eclipse installed and setup.
I provide an Eclipse project which you can use as base and example to give you a quick startup. Note that there are other ways to do this without eclipse, but I won't get into that. But it is not enough to open the apk and just drop images into there (unless you decompile it, recompile it, and sign it). Well, at least not enough to use the full power of the theming engine: you won't be able to change text size, element position, and other stuff without recompiling.
Take the attached eclipse project and import it. (please don't ask how to do this, there are numerous tutorials on how to setup eclipse/android SDK, and that is not the purpose of this post/thread).
Template Eclipse Project: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.tar.gz
Alternatively, here is the compiled apk from the project above: View attachment UCS_Template_Theme.1.0.0.apk
The apk is useful if you just want to change some images, and also if you use some of the toolkits around here in xda to decompile/compile apks. In fact, you don't actually need Eclipse to completely change the template: use something like ApkManager, and just decompile the apk.
The theming does not involve java programming, that's why it works so nice with a decompiler: no smali editing. All you need for theming is replacing drawables, and editing xml files.
When starting, take a look at the files in:
res/drawables/
res/values/
The xml files in the drawables folder point to the actual images in /res/drawable-hdpi, and those are what you want to change
The xml files in res/values control everything from text color to element placing. Take special attention to integers.xml, I inserted comments on it to make clearer what every key does.
Play around with this, run it with the "run as android application" command with your phone connected to your PC if you're using Eclipse. Getting the offsets just the way you wanto to can be tricky.
When you're done, just export as signed application and share it here if you feel like it!
Cheers
As always....brilliant.....

Great work like ever, tried it on latest reaper and it will become my default call screen
Great work lowveld! Using it on reaper now, but just to clarify, if i want to turn on speaker and so on I have to go back to the default one?
I don't know how you do it, you're way to talented dude
Cheers!

Yep, I believe that you must hit the back button to return to normal dialer and then enable speaker from there.
Great. Will check it on my sgsii und give you feedback

earlier failure to post was obviously a tapatalk (xda app) issue. Already loving this application....
Is it too early for future functionality requests?
Please incorporate a backup and restore option, so that the custom linkages and pictures can be saved across ROMs. In the meantime how can I manually backup these, will titanium do? or is there an SD card directory?

You can safely backup with titanium and restore to the same rom with no issues. Across roms you can't do that, because the internal android contact database changes.
Its never too early for requests, ill try to figure out a way around this!

One thing i would like to see on ucs is the ability to rotate the pictures, if I'm allowed to make a feature request.
I came across this, because i have a picture i rotated myself at the gallery, but if i import it to ucs it isn't rotated, i know it can easily be solved with another app, but it would be nice if ucs takes to rotation from gallery or if i would be able to rotate it myself.

Ben, let me rephrase my earlier answer: if you use titanium to restore both the contacts database and UCS, when restoring both to another rom all should be ok with UCS internal contact mapping. But you know how I feel about restoring system data across roms, so I'll try to come up with a better solution.

Hey mate!
Well, I will surely look into this. Plus, your request lead me to identify the first bug in ICS, and I just uploaded version V1.0.1 because of you, so thanks for that! (the bug was that if you tried using the image editor/cropper on landscape mode, it would FC on saving the image).
But I got a bit confused about your "maybe to crop them" part of the request. Currently you can zoom in and out of any picture, move it around, and when saving, UCS will crop the image to what is showing on the screen (minus the buttons of course). You can use either the in-screen zoom buttons, or regular multi-touch (pinch to zoom), and simple dragging to move the picture around.
Maybe I wasn't clear enough about this before...
Cheers
Excellent, a new version
In response to the rotate request, it's +1 that world be really useful
Crop not needed, as you said already multi touch, although it would be good if when you're on the resize image screen, if there were lines at the top and bottom of the screen indicating the size that the image has to be stretched to, as I like the top and bottom that show the calling number and buttons not to also have the image behind (hope that makes sense).

backup/restore question
Does the UCS app make and store a copy of the edited pictures or simply keep a link to the original pictures?
As, I've created a new directory on my sd card simply for my UCS pictures, so could any backup function you create simply map the existing contacts to their UCS contact picture file path, it would be incredible if it would also remember the sizing settings for each image.

Hey,
Yeah, I think I got what you meant. Showing guidelines to tell the user where the caller ID interface elements will actually show would be possible, I guess. But it would be a pain for you to align the picture. Actually I never thought that it could be used that way (with black headers and footers instead of fullscreen pic).
Anyway, what about a compromise meanwhile: I give the option to instead of those semi-transparent rectangles that show beneath the buttons and contact numbers/names, paint it black. What do you think? The end result will be what you want, I guess, but you should scale the images to fullscreen, and sort of guess where the black will be.
The reason I'm reluctant to add guidelines or whatever to the cropper, is because I'm trying to figure out a way to let the user change the position of those elements on the call screen, and it would become inconsistent on that case. Ok, I'm rambling now...
Cheers

UCS saves the final cropped image you assign to a contact, and that's the one that will be used from there on. You can even delete the original, no harm done.
There's no need for you to create another backup dir on the sdcard: the saved files are on the app own directory, and will be saved by Titanium backup. If you still want to keep sort of a catalog of what you use, so clean installs of UCS on other roms go faster, just copy the .jpg files from /data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files
Mapping the picture to contacts is a different matter, and the main difficulty regarding a save/restore functionality. I'll have to really think hard on how to achieve this...
Cheers, and thanks for the input!
On thinking about it, forget about guidelines, just don't make the backgrounds at the top and bottom of the screen semi transparent, if possible make this colour/transparency configurable through options? I'd prefer none so you gave full screen pictures, with number and buttons simply overlaid, you could even have the colour of the text of the calling number configurable
Last request for today, promise, night
