UCS on dual sim phone

Hi, I just installed UCS on ZTE v970 dual sim phone

And, I think, there is a small issue - there is no information on call screen on which number is coming call.

Or is it somewhere any option I didn't found?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
You mean, you want to see which SIM card is used for this incomming call?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Stock Android does not support multiple SIM cards. What manufacturers do is change Android to do it, but there is no standard: every manufacturer does it how he wants it. So, there is no way I can provide that information, short of getting my hand on every dual-sim phone, decompile the system, and see how it is being done for that particular phone...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Wywern.pl:
Yes, thats exactly what I want to do.

On my ROM - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1856578, I can see this. But the call screen isn't very pretty there ;), so I whould like to make UCS working
[Android Apps and Games] loich67:

How can I do to help you to translate you're application in French (if you want of course) ?

Re: [APP][2.1+][7 MAR 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Sensor

what functions are there in the widget?

Sent from my supercharged :tank:
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
It's just toggles to activate UCS for:

- incoming

- outgoing

- sms

- call blocker

- privacy mode

Avoids digging up through the settings when you want to use the call blocker at least, and also instant turn on privacy mode when you are on a public place. Not ground breaking by all means, but useful, I think...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Soltek.fr:
Hi,

Thanks for this app !

I tested the free version during this week-end. One thing preventing me from buying it : there is no possibility to choose the time before the screen turns of after receiving a call or SMS.

It would be nice if you could choose it regardless of the time of extinction of the general screen phone.

(sorry for my bad english)

UCS V9.2.2 is out

Hey guys,

Today I released a minor update, V9.2.2. Mainly it addresses a couple of rare bugs that have been reported to Google. But, breaking with tradition, I did include a new feature in a minor version update: the control widget.

Also, a big thanks to Loic, who translated UCS to French. This version also includes his translation.

Changelog:

- Added UCS Control Widget for toggling UCS functions on/off (incoming, outgoing, SMS, call blocker and Privacy mode)

- Fixed call answer bug for some phones

- Added French Translation (Thanks Loic!)

- Minor bugfixes​

I released it this afternoon, so this time it is already available for download/upgrade on Google Play.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Aaaaaannnnddd again, 9.2.3

Sorry guys,

Apparently on older specific devices, a simple java statement is causing V9.2.2 to be un-openable. This is apparently restricted to Gingerbread and below, and specific phone manufacturers. You got to love fragmentation...

Anyway, 9.2.3 simply removes the offending, and perfectly legitimate, statement. It was only there to facilitate my local debugging anyway...

Sorry to those affected, update should be available in a couple of hours.

Cheers

P.S. If it sounds like I'm a bit pissed at Google right now, that's because I am.

Re: [APP][2.1+][18 MAR 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

I'm sorry but I don't understand what you are saying...

You click where exactly and what popup opens? UCS doesn't need to be the default app for anything: you click the UCS icon, and UCS settings opens. Is even this not working for you?
[Android Apps and Games] timolen:
Is it just me or the new HUD can't be configured whether to show or not the caller name or number?

Also, the call timer starts right after i dial the number not after the person who I want to speak to, answers.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Yes, currently the HUD does not follow the hide number/name rules of the other interfaces. I have to revise the layout before I allow that, plus the compact layout is great for showing all info without wasting space.

The call timer thing is a recurrent request, but the answer stays the same: unfixable

The reason for the timer behavior on outgoing calls is that Android does not allow external apps to follow the call state like the stock app does. I get notifications for: call started (dialed out), call ended. That's why on outgoing calls I have to start the timer immediately. On incoming calls I have a extra state: phone ringing, call answered, call ended. That's why there I can count the call time properly.

Cheers

[ROM][JB:4.1.2] ParanoidAndroid 2.57 (FXP based) related problem

Good day.

Registered version 9.2.3, SE Xperia Pro (iyokan),[ROM][JB:4.1.2] ParanoidAndroid 2.57 (FXP based)http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2095361

Very long delay before Fullscreen Caller ID appears on incoming call. Can't and a call (root or not) & massive CPU consumption with root method. And not very stable, sms screen may appear, or not from time to time, and so on... even as a system & excluded app registered.

No such problem on stock based rom's.

Any ideas?

P.S. Any way, realy best Caller ID app on market(design+functionality, on stock, unfortunately...)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

First, do not use the root workarounds for answer/decline unless you really need them. The "normal" method is much faster (and cleaner), the workarounds are for setups where this does not work at all!

Second, no need to move the app to /system, it does not help (again, unless for people with answer/decline not working at all)

As for issues with a specific ROM, I can't really control them... I can tell you that I'm currently running AOKP on my phone with no issues at all. I did try PA a couple of months back but didn't like it. I'll try installing it again on my phone and check if there's some issue specific to PA itself. But if it's a conjugation of PA and your particular phone, I have no way to help...

The fact that UCS works on your stock ROM seems to indicate that some PA customization is causing issues. I know they intercept a lot of system calls to handle those DPI changes and global gestures...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] per4rator:
Thanks!

Clean & clear!

I'l try AOKP.

UCS Theme Template

Hello,

Just got around to doing something long overdue: a UCS theme template, ready to be imported into Eclipse. I still want to do some more checking, and then I'll post it here.

I know that a source code example is not exactly user-friendly, but it is the way to get the most out of the theme. Yes, you can just open any theme and start replacing images, but for things like element spacing, text size and etc, you really need to compile a new theme.

Just to do a preliminary test, I built a theme with the template, here are some screenshots:

Link (PAID!!!): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ucs.theme.darktexture

I published this one non-free on Google Play, just to probe if there is any interest out there for paid themes. And because I spent a stupid amount of time with this mini-project and Photoshop. :P The theme is "UCS Dark Texture".

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
AW: [APP][2.1+][18 MAR 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

Unfortunately I am too stupid for using Eclipse and so I can not create my own templates. Any plan to make themes in a more user friendl way? :D
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
Re: [APP][2.1+][18 MAR 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

Do you know how to decompile?

-------------

Also...the newest versions are fantastic! so fast!

one issue that is not an issue....

I have Google voice installed. Every phone call I make I need to select by phone or Google phone. But UCS pops up and I have to for back, make my choice and then UCS goes back on. Anyway to allow Google voice selection to shoe up on top of it before UCS? A not so big issue.....but thought I'd share!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Well, you can always use a compiled theme and just replace images inside the zip file. Any other changes you want to do, just tell me and I'll do them for you.

But McCabe's suggestion below is probably easiest:

There are some toolkits around XDA to decompile/recompile apks (mostly used by ROM modders). If you use that, when you decompile you'll have access to everything inside the theme that you need (pictures in .9 png are also decompiled, plus the xml files). There's no actual java code inside the themes, so no need to touch the smali (may sound complicated, but it really isn't).

Problem with this is that if you want to publish your themes, it get's more complicated due to the signing process.

But one thing: Google builds an "ADT - android development tools" bundle, with eclipse, all plugins, and the Android SDK already included. You literally only have to unzip the bundle and you are good to go! If you want to go this way and need help, just email me and I'll walk you through it.

McCabe:

Regarding the Google Voice thing: Go to the workarounds menu and turn the "Dual SIM workaround" option on. I should (and probably will) get rid of the workaround and make it default for everyone. The cost is a fraction of time on outgoing callscreen boot time, but it "fixes" a lot of situations, not necessarily related to dual SIM.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Thx for the suggestions.

I think it's ok for me opnly to change some images. Need only a Theme with default font (nothing special - best is a system font). Only want to have the buttons in the same style as my ROM Theme. Means Black & Yellow or Black & Green ;)
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Is there a theme available which also change the ring picker images? I have tried Carbon theme and it works but not for dealer ring mode...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Yes, this last one. But it's paid, don't buy it because of that!

The theme template allows changing all elements on all interfaces, including:

- buttons, cid and buttons background

- sliding tab interface targets

- ring picker targets, ring, and the helper arrows

- rotary dial targets, and the dial itself

And more. It basically aplies every element possible, just to show what's possible. Its also butt ugly. :)

Let me just run some more checks, I'll probably post it still today. I'll post the source project, and also the compiled output for the eclipse-impaired.

Cheers

P.S. And all Elegance themes change the ring picker targets already, you can start with one of them...

Theme Template source and apk added to post #3

Ok guys,

Just added the template and the apk to post 3. I tried to annotate the xml files as much as possible. Take particular attention to integers.xml, and all xml files in res/drawable. Do not change the names of these files, they contain pointers to the actual pictures (which you can change), but UCS theming engine looks specifically for those filenames.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
worked like a charm. thanks, mate!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Many thx, for that. Tried to change the images and it works ;)

So far so good.

Unfortunately this template uses another front and places the Contact name and phone number not to the same postiion as the default theme.

Default shows on top first name follwed by number with normal font.

This template uses another font and places the conatact name in the middle of the screen and the number on the left side.

So may I ask you can I fix this by myself with changing something in one of the xml files or could you be so kind and make again a new template with standard font and name and phone number top placed ? :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
You can replace the font yourself, just replace the file in the assets folder. Pick any TTF font file, give it that name, and just put it there.

As I said, the template changes the placement of things just to show its possible, but the result is really ugly :)

The only way to change that is with the decompiled xml files. I'll build another one based on the default UCS, and email it to you. But not today, sorry... I'm off to a wedding.

Cheers

P.S. if you delete the font file in assets folder, ucs will use the default font!

500.000 Thanks

Hey guys,

UCS turned 1 year old on last March 31st. What started as my mini-side-project for one of my ROMs, quickly evolved into something much much bigger. Those first couple of months were hectic. Just to give you a notion: 2 monts later, by the end of May, UCS had reached version 5.0.0, and 33 updates. Comparing the feature list on version 1.0.0 with what we have now, and specially the internals of UCS, is mind blowing.

Today UCS has reached 500.000 downloads. Believe me when I say that not on my wildest dreams had I evert thought of reaching a number like this. I want to thank each and everyone on this thread, for all the input, ideas, and just plain selfless help so many of you provide.

I don't consider UCS my own anymore, there's too much of you in it for that. And I thank you for that. For making UCS much more than I could ever hope to on my own.

Cheers, and may we all be here for the 1.000.000 mark!

V9.4.0 is out

Ok Guys,

Just released V9.4.0 to Google Play. This time is nothing major, just some stuff that kept being pushed back for one reason or another.

Changelog:

- Added configurable delay on Call Screen exit to allow laggy stock interface to finish (Call Settings -> Callscreen Interface)

- UCS now displays phone numbers formated according to your country (option to disable included in Call Settings -> Callscreen Interface)

- Added option to manually crop facebook pictures when linking individual contacts​

The "delay on exit" thing is a request from a surprisingly high number of (very vocal) Russian users. Thing is, UCS is now faster than the stock interface, and sometimes when you finish a call, UCS goes away and you are still able to see the stock interface. This option allows you to fine-tune how long UCS should hang around after call end, if it bothers you.

Update should be available in a couple of hours.

Cheers!

I'm having issues getting findme to work. I configured the key as a 4 digit number and sent myself a text message with that number and my phone just vibrates when I have the volume muted. It never activates "Findme".

Ok, I got it to work. I tried to email myself a text at vtext.com with the numbers and it didn't work. I also tried verizons vtext website and that didn't work either. I would get the text but the alarm wouldn't sound. But when someone texted me from their phone it worked.

I don't see how this is very helpful if you need someone else to text you. Because how can you tell them to text you if you can't find your phone? Anyway to fix this so it likes email addresses as "from".

when you email yourself it has blah@blah.com 5582

as the text message... the 5582 being the sample number. It doesn't just give you the 5582 in the text message. Same goes from the vtext website.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I made Findme to only trigger if the key is at the SMS very start as a precaution against accidental triggering. But I can easily change it to trigger if the key is anywhere on the text. I'll put that as an option maybe...

I'll also change the key method to accept all kind of characters instead of numbers only, that should make accidentally triggering harder.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] warwagon19792:
Cool that would be awesome. You could have have it look at the start of the text directly following an email address. Which is how all text messages show up if sent from email. Just have it ignore the email and look for the text. This way you are still only looking for the number and it would ignore all other text messages.

Version number altered from 9.4.0 to 9.4.1 (23/04/2013) on GooglePlay without any changelog. Any comments?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

It was preventive actions against 3 FCs reported in Google play, no change in functions or anything else.

When it's stuff like this I usually forego the change log, instead of adding "stability improvements" which is meaningless for anyone else.

The issues are quite rare, they were single reports.

Hello, Unfortunately due to a "Error retrieving information from server.[RPC:S-5:AEC-0]" being encountered by my Play (google market) updates, I was forced to remove and then re add my Google account.

Haven't had to relink all my contacts for quite some time, ie several iterations of UCS and must say the various additions and tweaksthat have been made in that time, especially the one touch unlink FB contacts process made what I thought was going to be a arduous timely process an absolute breeze - Bravo!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks man. Yes, I think the current status of the several contact-linking options is a good compromise between flexibility and ease of use.

That "one touch FB unlink", and specially having it trigger itself after "I feel lucky" were a huge advantage that I think went almost completely under the radar. In my case, after that combo I only have to manually configure a handful of contacts, but mileage may vary.

Best of luck for the coming month count down, and keep cool!

Hey Guys,

Yesterday I released V9.5.1 on Google Play. This version addresses some requests from users (more exit delay values, and adding the "reject with SMS" button to HUD), and I also changed some things: on new installs the default interface is the HUD instead of the Ring Picker, and I took out the Contact Manager launcher from the phone app drawer.

The Contact Manager launcher was a regular source of confusion. Users either though it was the main UCS app (and complained they could't figure out how to configure it), or thought it was a dialer and complained it didn't work. As the contact manager is available form the main UCS settings, right at the top, the launcher was redundant anyway.

There are also the usual small bugfixes (addressing Google Play rare reports) and performance improvements.

If you are wondering where 9.5.0 is, it's on my computer's trash can, where it belongs (it lasted for 3 hours on Google Play last night, and had a nasty FC on callscreen previews). I have to stop coding at night...

Changelog

- Changed default interface on new installs to HUD

- Added "Reject With SMS" button to HUD on incoming calls

- Removed Contact Manager shortcut from phone app drawer

- Increased possible call exit delay values to accommodate slower phones

- Performance improvements​

Cheers!

Hey!

No, not a single one this time. But I have been thinking more and more about the UCS settings interface, and the model of the app itself.

Actually based on the signature, you are running either the stock HTC JellyBean rom, or some derivative.

I wrote a post about this some pages back: you MUST use the "root workaround for answer" for now.

This is valid for any Sense rom and android bigger than 4.1.0. Also, dont bother trying similar apps, nobody found a solution...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
In Tapatalk you don't see any signature... :D
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Actually it was Tapatalk that added what I needed: "Sent from my Desire X". :)

Anyway, the issue with HTC sense ROMs and Jellybean is in my opinion unsolvable. It only applies to Sense ROMs though, not to the phone itself...

You probably don't remember, but you even translated a warning for HTC users into German last September, when I predicted the issue. All I had to do was look into the JB source code and I instantly knew HTC would break, well before any ROM even existed...
