[APP] WhoIsIt Lite (Free)-Contact-Specific Ringtones (Gmail, SMS, MMS, GTalk, GVoice)

Hi All,
I just published WhoIsIt Lite to the Market. This is a free version of WhoIsIt which offers a subset of features found in the paid version.
WhoIsIt Lite will allow you to define contact-specific ringtones for phone calls, Gmail, SMS, MMS, GTalk, GVoice, and K-9. You can also configure WhoIsIt to provide spoken announcements for your notifications as well as define contact-specific vibrations for each of these notifications.
Please give it a try and post your feedback.
Thanks!
Andy

Tried the app. Looks very good
WOuld love to see - Ability to test the vibration on selection , like ringtones.

Thanks for the feedback! If you have any other suggestions, please let me know. Some of the other features that I'm considering are:
Group Notifications
Gmail Label Notifications
LED Color Control for Contacts

Alert for a word in subject for k9 and gmail wouldt be great!
I mean when there is a special word like fire or something in subject it should play a different alert sound for emails

Nice ;D i like it

I just downloaded this and after playing with it for a few minutes I think this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. I love the fact that I can now set different ringtones for my notifications. I have alway thought it annoying that I had to have only one tone for all notifications. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU.

seems like an awesome app..will try it

will this override any settings from go sms?? i have custom led & sms ringtone from that but i would love just the individual caller feature

Could somebody provide details about CPU/RAM/Battery usage by this app ?
Thanks !

I still love this app. Thanks for the development.

Ok I found my first little glitch. I downloaded the pay version today. In the preferences I set default notification to silent and assigned a SMS tone and clicked the manage sms check box. Now when I get a text it plays the tone I assigned and some unknown tone I cant even find on my phone. I then went into settings and force stopped the program and rebooted but I am still having the same problem.
Any Ideas?

Everything is perfect about this app except for one thing: vibration selection.
Why can I not use the phone default vibration for anything except "Default Phone Vibration?" I am forced to use the -. vibration styles for my Google Talk preferences. Putting in ---- does not give me a long vibration, but instead, four distinct - vibrations.
Is it possible for you to update the app and allow for us to select "Phone Default" for all vibration settings? I would much prefer the default long continuous vibration offered by my phone.

Is there a voice mail on screen notifier?

I can't seem to find it.

There's one in the top notification bar.
Call yourself and leave a voicemail and see where it pops-up.

Yes.
Is there a way to add a notifications Icon to the homescreen?

Google voice
Is the only method I have found in stock mode to provide iPhone style push voice mail notification. It takes it a step further though and also provides a transcription of the voice mail. I wouldn't depend upon the transcription though, especially if you have callers that have a foreign language accent . Still pretty cool though. I have the google voice widget on my home screen. Provides the voice mail notification(s), the last callers contact pic if a contact, and the first few words of the transcription. The widget is only 3x1 so doesn't take up a lot of room.

It looks like there's a "Voicemail Notifier" app on the Android Market, but it's not guaranteed to work with all phones or all networks.

I believe Tasker might let you pop up notifications or set alarms or whatever based on a voice mail. Check out this link for some examples.

Voice mail and missed call notification on the homescreen
In the third row is Google Voice Widget. In the bottom row 5th widget is missed call notification counter from Elixer. If no missed calls it is green. It replicates the HTC "Phone" icon (depress it and it acts like "Phone").

Where did you find the Elixer app. It's exactly what I need.

@ volumnus, it's in market.

Just use what you need. BTW a word of warning, if you use Current Widget along w/ Elixer, it'll make the phone randomly reboot. I found this out the hard way.

Free at Amazon today

Executive Assistant App normally $6.49 is free today at Amazon App store. It has one, along with centralized widget for other notifications if desired. IMO its better looking / not as cheesy as the green elixer one.

[Q] Why can't I find an email client on Android that rivals those on iOS?

I'm not posting this to start any sort of flame-wars or anything.
Coming from iOS, one of the best things about any iOS e-mail client (be it Sparrow or Mail.app) is that HTML formatted email looks exactly like it's supposed to. It's not cluttered up or squeezed to the width of the screen. I've yet to see a client on Android that does this properly (GMail is probably the worst in this regard).
Google did a great job with Chrome; the page loads zoomed out and when you zoom in, you just enlarge a piece of the page without reflowing anything. Is there such a mail client for Android that does the same sort of thing and just makes an HTML-formatted email look good?

Anyone? I'm really interested in a good email client if there is one.

A good email competitor that I personally use is Gmail. I love its simplicity and just slickness of getting the job done. Not only that, but it label things which can be useful. I personally think the Gmail app is the best competitor for any iOS email app right now at the moment.

Did that answer your question?

Check out Enhanced Email or Maildroid.

IMO, the best email app for Android is K-9. You can set it up any way you want. Works with APG if you need encryption.

No, not really. I see GMail as one of the worst client on Android if you try to look at any HTML formatted email. It seems to butcher those emails 9 times out of 10. I tried K-9 a while ago, and I don't know of its changed or not. Enhanced mail was better than Gmail as far as formatting, but still not up to par with the iOS mail clients.
Do you know what I mean?

I can't be the only one who's had this issue.

Did you check out Enhanced Email as I suggested? It displays HTML nicely for me.

Here's the same email from both phones. The iPhone displays it properly and zoomed out regardless of orientation. Enhanced Email does not, and I cannot zoom out any further.

EE displays HTML properly to me, in full intended size. I sometimes have to turn to landscape to see everything without scrolling side-to-side, sometimes not, but again, to me that's proper behavior.
If email is shown shrunk to fit in portrait mode as in your example, it's often unreadable, too small. Your iPhone example would soon drive me crazy.
I suppose the ultimate compromise solution would be for the email to be auto-reformatted to fit like a browser does. I don't know of a mobile email client that does that. Possibly Maildroid will.

GMail is byfar the best, but if you don't use gmail as your primary, try K9

Email Apps

Looking for some help here regarding versions of email apps/clients.
I am currently using Embryo 6.1 which includes Email 4.0 (or at least that was it says in application management). The icon is a white envelope with a blue "@" symbol on it. It does work fine with exchange accounts. I just don't like how things are laid out as much.
Most other ROMs I have used so far have either included a version with "exchange" which I really don't know the version but I do know the icon is again a white envelope that is open with a yellow card coming out of it, the card has an "@" symbol on it. See the image below.

What version of email is this, I have always seen it referred to as "exchange email?" My googling has not been very productive to answer what version or even the name, only yielded some images with the icon above.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but it may give you an alternate you prefer. I've used Touchdown for a year for my exchange account. I love it - it is very similar to having Outlook on your phone. 30 day trial. http://nitrodesk.com/

+1 for K9-Mail. It works, just works, does what it's supposed to do, all the time, every time. Push emails, poll, whatever it just works.

Why don't you just use the aosp mail? Imho really it's the best e-mail app and if you have an msn/hotmail/outlook account it beats their mail app to the ground (yuk).
It's easy to replace stock email with it. I would suggest you extract the version from CM7/9/10 zip depending on the version of your FW.

New Gmail Leaked Screenshots - Features Show A New UI, Pinned And Snoozed Messages

SOURCE : Kickedface
Email is one of those things that you either see as a necessary evil that consumes more of your day than it needs to, or it’s something you ignore completely until you absolutely have to use it. Anyone who says they actually enjoy using email is probably suffering from a digital variant of Stockholm Syndrome, but over the last year there have been several apps that have made the experience a lot more bearable. Gmail is high up on that list. Now it looks like Google is exploring ways to make email something people actually want to use.

At first glance it looks a lot like Gmail as you know it now, but with a few key differences that radically change how the email client is used. For starters, there are a lot more tabs to separate all of your email into. Currently the groups are Social, Promotions, Forums, and Updates. This version of Gmail includes Travel, Purchases, and Finance to the mix, with the same basic properties that the existing five tabs currently have, In your primary Inbox, you’ll see these grouped both in the side menu and at the top of your inbox if there are new messages for those categories.
There’s also a new Pinned feature, which functions exactly as you’d expect.
You can pin an email if you want it to stay floating at the top of your Inbox, and there’s a toggle switch for when you want to see your pinned emails and when you want those messages to go back to their original point in the Inbox. This looks like it would be a great deal more useful than the current star system, which doesn’t appear in this UI at all.
Your emails can also be Snoozed in this new UI. Snoozing an email means it appears as read until the timer goes off, when it will then float to the top of your Inbox as an unread email. You can choose to snooze an email for a couple of hours or several weeks depending on your need, and you can snooze messages over and over again if you choose to.
This is not very likely a final version of Gmail. These shots are the result of Google trying out new features to see what will work for Gmail before making them available to the public. It’s pretty clear that Google’s goal with each of these features is to make email something you can better organize and manipulate to serve your needs, which in turn gives them a better idea of what information you think is important for Google Now and other services. Hopefully we get to see more than a couple of these features in the real world soon.
