Hi,
im lookin for some info on changin the size(making it slightly larger in size) and function of the bluetooth icon on my Imate jam, i was hoping to make it a tap, tap+hold icon, so that tap would activate/deactivate BT an tap+hold would go to further settings. anyone heard of anything like this going around, id prefer to customize the original rather than using a 3rd party fix unless it fixes the original directly. any suggestions as to how i might go about this would be well appreciated.
while im at
anyone heard of a way to make the stock calendar always open on a certain view?..ie always open to month view even when closed from a different view. i know if you close it it will retain the last setting but i usually select day from month and edit then close..which sets the view to day..... i assume it would probably be a reg edit but i couldnt find anything in the even mentionin the calendar. again any help would be welcome.
thanks Speedn

Haven't heard of something like that, but maybe this is a useful alternative for you:
Try buzz_lightyear's SwitchIt (look at this post). With thisyou can place shortcuts on your today screen which allow you to control your bluetooth settings. Besides switching bluetooth on/off/discoverable you also can switch on/off your devices infrared. It runs perfectly on my MDA compact.
I'm working on a little frontend, which will allow you to control all your connection settings on one single page (see also at the above mentioned post).

Hi all,
This project started out as my basic mod of SpellDial (by Lawrence Greenfield, thanks for making it open-source) initially, but I've since made quite a number of changes to it.
It is now able to search by both name and number, and you can always use the "#" key to denote a space. Most of the other changes I made are under the hood, but I've attached a few screenshots so you know what you're getting.
Lastly, there are a couple of bugs, among them I believe it only works properly with Nexus One. I've yet to finish up all the mdpi images, and I've also not updated the code for SDK3/4 and below (Cupcake, Donut).
Download: Search "NubDial" on the Android Market.
Source: http://code.google.com/p/nubdial/
Request/Help Needed:
I hope that this will become a community project (but I doubt I'll be able to do much since sch's getting really bz), and would appreciate if someone could come up with a nicer design that still fits the Android look . If you have, please post your mock-up or send them to me , actual 9-patch/images will be awesome.
Change Log:
1.82:
Added patch by seidler2547 to support accented characters.
Added patch by qingcai to speed up performance (I changed the delay slightly).
Should not show up on Donut/Cupcake Markets anymore.
1.81:
Fixed another FC bug. Thanks to xiutian for running the test version and providing me with logs !
1.8:
Fixed a FC bug when searching for some contacts.
1.7:
Added pref to auto-hide the dialpad on fling action .
Also, fling up/down on the dialpad to show/hide it.
1.6:
QuickContacts picture
1.51:
Fixed hyphen bug again.
1.5:
Added "Add to contacts" to Menu options
Highlighting now works across dashes (Please report)
Able to set as default Dial app now (Tested with SMS widget)
Enabled fast scroll for the contacts list (similar to default contacts, you've the fat tab to hold and drag down)
1.4:
Fixes a regression bug with name matching
*Should* fix hyphen bug
1.3:
Added preference to match any number sequence, not just from the start
1.2:
Bug fixes
1.1/1.0:
I forgot
To Do:

Long pressing on menu for the soft keyboard messes up the layout. Any ideas?
Looks awesome!! Where's the download link? Thanks for your work
You're fast. I normally post once when there's a lot of stuff already before I edit it to add more . Link's up .

Haha I actually JUST happened to be checking the forums (which I don't check so often). Looking good and I just tested it out on the Market. Smooth so far, but after a call ends it unfortunately does not go back to the app, but instead it goes to the stock Dialer. I know that's probably difficult to intertwine and you're aware, but just thought I'd post about it!
a good start
Wysie,
I've been following your development of the contacts apk and now this t9 dialer is adds function not currently available on stock dialer. A good start.
Is there any way to merge this dialer into the stock nexus one phone app?
Jonathan
^^ yes this would be cool
Nice idea. I would like to see this tool rolled into your Wycontacts Eclair apk.
Some quick feedback - I am getting FC when searching for a number/contact that either begins with 2 (ABC) or 6 (MNO). This is repeatable and happens every time. I have rebooted and still get FC whenever the 2 or 6 are entered first. Searching with the other keys works as expected. Can I send you any log files that might help in remedying this? My sig has the ROM and kernel details for reference.
Thank-you
works just fine. It wod be cool the app open by dobbel tap on tracbal
Great work .... but can you do the following?
1) Change the icon to represent the standard Dialler Icon?
2) Have the option within the dialler to goto the other tabs, or better still implement this into the standard dialler?
Thanks for your work !
Hi guys, thanks for the support and comments.
Integrating into the system Contacts app is definitely possible, but I'm afraid I lack the time to do that. Moreover it's not high on my priority list.
I made the icon, so nope, not gonna change it . Sorry.
Check out my to do for what's coming next, as well as currently known bugs (would be good if someone can propose a fix).
That's all. Updated a new version to Market which fixes some minor bugs.
A new icon would be nice. Don't get me wrong, but the current one looks strange. You've made a great app, why spoil it with a fugly icon?
Anyway, it would be great if the app searched contact numbers with wildcards, i.e. if I have a number with an international code (+44xxxxxxxxx), I could search it without having to enter +44.
bro wonderful stuff!
feels good using sg products..
May I add in some suggestions to make it even better...
- Add Speeddial (long press a number to dial a assigned contact?)
- Give options to show default number only and hide the rest
- integrate with call log
if all these is made possible, I will uninstall acontacts and use yrs =)
request
Wysie. awesome work but i have one request. it seems it does not find any sequence of digits, it has to search from the begining of each number. when i remeber numbers i dont start with the area code first (as i assume many people dont) so this app would be perfect if it searched for the sequence in any part of the numbers. once again, beautiful app i would pay for it if it had this feature. (and maybe a nicer icon that matched the 2.1 stock ui a little better)
1951 360-5555
insead of
1951 360-5555
i feel like i made zero sense here i hope i got through. lol
To filter out country code at the start is something I want to do but have yet to think of...
Just uploaded 1.3 on the Market which has an option to allow searching from anywhere in the number . Does not filter by country code, it simply matches any subsequence of numbers.
Thanks for the updated version .... I'd love to see the contact photo built into the left of the name too .... just like it is all over the 2.1 phone app.
the prefix issue is how caller id matching works for incoming calls, only the last 6 or 7 digits of the number is searched for.
I am not sure you would want this on a dialer though? for example sometimes I cant remember a name but i can remember the town and therefore dialling code eg tradesmen in the town where my holiday home is so on my winmo phone i would type in just the dialing code to bring a list of contacts in that area.
Anyway I stopped putting in the international prefix on numbers now, the last few times i went abroad it seems that the networks are smart enough to know your roaming and where your have roamed from so no need of idd prefix when dialing back to your home country.

Sorry wysie but im with this guy, I would love to use this as my replacement default dialer but putting this on my homescreen makes it pretty ugly. Looks like a game of sudoku tbh lol trying atm to change the icon with bettercut but having problems.
very nice update, I just wanted to login here to the forum to suggest to you that it searches anywhere in the number
Thank you very much.
Another suggestion: Is it possible to integrate contact picture ? That would be superb
Thanks again for all your work.
Bug report x2:
My Nexus One uses US locale I think but all my numbers are saved as +4670155778 etc. So when the first hyphen appears it'll throw the search off as it appear to search with the added hyphen.
Also, when having language code in numbers (as all my numbers have) you remove the leading zero: +4670155778 is actually 070155778. Please have it match a search for 070155778 as 70155778 to fix this.
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.
~Native Texan (Mike)
please I need too a solution for these
Not sure if this is even possible but was wondering if anyone knew if there is a way to change the icons in the Sense mail tab for the different accounts. I was thinking of maybe having the service logo or something like that.
Thanks in advance.
I don't think its possible. It would be quite difficult to configure if it was.
I like how I can make a shortcut of a certain person on your homescreen, but I don't like how I can rename it on the homescreen. For instance...my home phone and wife's cell is under one contact, so when I make the shortcut they both say the same thing. So I'm curious if there's an app or widget that would keep the similar style but allow me to rename it on the homescreen.
file this in the 1 of 2 things that do not exist for some unknown reason.
A good contact widget and a google voice widget are just non existent, IMO. I am not a developer in the least, so I think we are stuck wishing or settling for apps like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
I think it does what you want, sort of, but it just doesn't "LOOK GOOD"
This one looks better, but still not what I was wanting....
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.phonepony.frequentcontacts
Maybe?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.moxier.swiftcontacts
Or you can just buy Launcher Pro, as it comes with an awesome contact widget (same as HTC Sense basically).
There was a "contact widget" that is very similar to this and I don't like it. Just looking for something that shows the profile pic and I can rename to "Home" or "Wife's Cell" instead of two instances of "Wife"
BetterCut solution?
You can do this with BetterCut ($1.99 in the market)... you can set up a direct dial shortcut and select wife cell # change the label to whatever you want, e.g. "wife cell" or "wife work", and choose an icon for it including a photo you've taken (make sure you crop the photo you want square first or it will distort when used as the icon)...
What I am not sure of is if there is anyway to tie it too the friendstream facebook or G-mail icon though...
Hope this helps you though
PS... anyone know how many posts I need in order to link or avoid the 5 min between post n00b restrictions? Obviously I can search for this too, just curious.
I just came across this. Thanks!!

I have never found an answer to this question, but I think it's actually a forum-wide rule, perhaps to prevent server overload. I still have search restrictions. For me, it just gives me time to review all of my results.
