wake-up screen problem

I'm a licensed user UCS HD and really love it.

If the screen is on everything run smooth well. If the screen is off (deep sleep), when the phone is ringing the screen remains off and I need to push home button to see (and answer) the caller. It is terribly :(

I use Widget Locker and also disabled it because I thought that is a conflict with this application. No it isn't.

Any help?

P.S. I am ready to help with romanian language if you need my help.

how can i bring the dailpad?

thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
it depends if you've configured swipe actions, if you haven't then you can use the back button to get your normal dialer, I'd suggest that you read the Tips&Tricks section in app for a guide
[Android Apps and Games] beanboy07:
I have this as well with a little twist. When on bluetooth and I have to use the dialer for an keypress, I lose sound from the bluetooth. It still shows it as being connected on the speaker options but I have to choose the phone and then the bluetooth to hear again on the bluetooth. What gives you think?
[Android Apps and Games] icStatic:
I love the concept of the app but I'm having trouble getting the Facebook integration to work (and I have too many contacts to do it manually). I bought a pro license to support the dev though.

When I press the Sync Friends List button in the Facebook section I got a little toast message about starting sync but that's all that happened. When I press Sync Pictures button it again brings up a starting and finishing toast message but returns almost immediately with no pictures synced.

I use SyncMyPix to get high quality contact pics but even with 'Use UCS photos only' the app seems to be ignoring all my photos. :(

I checked logcat but I'm not seeing any errors. If you want me to run a special build with additional logging I can do that. I also see a few comments on the market about the issue too.

I've got a HTC One X btw - I've seen the issue on both stock and also Villain ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi there,

First, thanks for buying! :) Now let me explain how the facebook integration on UCS should work:

- All the "Sync Friends" button does is building a list with all your current FB friends, that will be usable on the rest of UCS. For instance, I actually built a check in the contact manager that if you try to link a facebook contact before syncing the friendlist, it will give you a warning. But imagine you build your list. Then you add a new friend. You go to the contact manager, and when you try to link a contact, the new friend won't appear on the list (until you resync the firendlist). This is for performance issues.

- The "Sync Pictures" only syncs pictures of facebook friends that you have actually linked to some of your phone contacts. If you haven't linked any contact at all, it will do nothing. It will also download only pictures that have changed. That is, UCS checks if the facebook picture is the same already on the phone, and it it is, just keeps what it had to save bandwidth.

- Note that there is no automatic contact-facebook linking. I would really love to have this in UCS, specially because HTC Sense roms do it almost perfectly, but I haven't figured out a way (yet) to do it reliably

Now for the other part: If you uncheck the "Use UCS photos only", UCS should use your already-existent contact photos, or the default UCS HD if none was found. If you keep the option checked, only pictures defined inside UCS will be used (including the ones synced from facebook). If it is not working this way for you, then it is definitelly a bug and I'll look into it.

Keep in touch!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
New version V4.0.0 is out

Ok,

I upped the major version number to mark the "translatable" status of UCS. Plus the new SMS options and the fully configurable swipe gestures make for a big update in usability.

Changelog:

- New: Reject call with SMS. Only accessible with swipe gesture, to keep the interface clean.

- New: Ultimate SMS Screen can flip through all your SMS messages. Only accessible with swipe gesture

- Swipe actions are now fully configurable

- In calls, any swipe can be configured to reject, answer, reject with SMS, and default phone interface.

- In SMS, any swipe can be configured to dismiss, reply to the SMS, view previous and view next SMS

- Portuguese translation

- German translation
​

It could take sometime until Google Play makes the update visible.

A special thanks to everyone offering to translate! As new translations come in, I'll update the market version. For know, it goes with Portugues (for obvious reasons), and German, courtesy of user_99. Thanks mate!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] oprah winfrey:
Just updated and multiple SMS is working great, thanks a lot! Popup 7 is now disabled as this is far more beautiful.
[Android Apps and Games] Schrotty35:
Great App but only 2-3 themes :-( . Please more Themes :p .
[Android Apps and Games] icStatic:
Thanks for the quick response!

I did a bit more poking around and confirmed that facebook is 'linked' to my contacts - as in my contact page for the people without photos has a link to their facebook profile on it. For a lot of people even the default contact picture is not showing (the one I see if I look at Contacts in Gmail). Could this be an issue with the new version of Sense on my phone doing something non-standard?

Now, here is where it gets interesting. If I go to a contact page, edit the contact and set the image source to be 'Google' and not Facebook, then I DO get a contact picture showing up (albeit super low res).

Again, let me know if I can provide any more info. I'd really like to avoid doing all my contacts manually if possible!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Updated to V4.0.1 - bugfix

Ok, rookie mistake, null pointer exception when swiping without having configured swipe.

Took me all day to figure out, because noone actually complained. But I eventually noticed a bug report on Google Play automated system and couldn't believe it. Many many users must have had problems.

Anyway, fix is out, sorry for the inconvenience...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
love this app, happy so far with my purchase! if there was only a way to move the name+number further down it would be complete imo.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
It can be done with theming only. I plan to reserve a couple of days to build new themes. If you have any requests about item positioning, or images you would want used as background/buttons, just post here, or PM me!

Sent by pigeon
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
My personal preference for a theme would be an ICS type colored theme (light blue/white).

Caller Name + Caller# would be under the picture with the Answer/Decline buttons underneath.

Putting the speaker button on the bottom left side (near the answer button) would seal the deal!.
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
surely you don't need buttons, swipe gestures remove the reliance on them.

Swyped from my DesireS
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Found a small graphic glitch: UCS contact app - after selection a picture: the buttons for "Rotate" and "Save" are overlapping.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Got it. It's happening on the translations, the button width is determined by the text on it. As the words Rotate" and "save" can be bigger on non-english, the buttons may end up overlapping. Marked for next update, together with your other fixes!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
LOL, ok - that makes sense. We Germans like longer words ;-)
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
Version: latest on play store

Licenced user

After 59sec during call the timer starts again from 0.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Yep, confirmed
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
V 4.1.0 out

Ok guys, no major new features, just stability fixes, memory improvements, and a Finnish translation courtesy of Sick1. Thanks mate! And thanks to user_99 for thoroughly testing the translation, pointing me out the issues, and improving on the amazing work he had already done.

Changelog:

- Fixed bluetooth disconnect on certain situations

- Fixed display not turning on on incoming calls for certain devices

- Several memory optimizations, specially on loading images

- Swipe preferences automatically show whatever is configured currently

- Improved ICS compatibility

- Improved German and Portuguese translations

- Added Finnish translation​

People who have issues loading big images or rotating them, please upgrade to this version and give some feedback if it's better now.

Cheers

--- edit ---

I can't reproduce the previous reports about the call timer reseting to 0, I'll have to investigate further what could go wrong...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Thx for the update. Like the infos about swipes.

Unfortunately I got FC when I try to click "SMS Theme Manager"

"DEFAULT" is not translated and app name for "UCS Contacts" also still in English.

Sorry...

BTW, where is the location of backups. Maybe I've missed this information.

Yep, already here. after 0:59 -> 0:00 use GB 2.3.6 Custom ROM
[Android Apps and Games] dreadflopp:
Having the same problem. Also using htc one x.
[Android Apps and Games] pdppdp:
I still have the problem that many contacts don't have phone numbers and no pictures are shown/saved.

Also the sms ui doesn't show up on incoming sms (it's activated in settings).

I'm running AOKP and android 4.0.4
[Android Apps and Games] Sick1:
Confirming these too... And if its not big thing, its just that im running Miui 2.4.20 GB currently and it doesnt support Finnish language i prefer, the possibility to change UCS language via option would be awesome :) . I tested "Locale Select" app from market and it works quite fine forcing my locale to Finland,making UCS show Finnish translations, but downside is some of the system apps turns chinese again :D .Also of-topic if someone knows an app that can change individual app locale/language different would be cool!

Peace
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Unfortunately the backup function isn't fully working currently, its on the fix list.

There is a workaround using Titanium Backup, which works even when switching ROMs and even when upgrading android versions (GB->ICS), but I've only tested it on a clean install. (credit to lowveld for this solution)

Prerequisite:

You must have previously used Titanium Backup to backup all of your apps (both system + user along with their data) where you have a working UCS configuration.

Steps

1) perform full wipe and install ROM

2) Do not sign in to your Google Account (as you don't wan't contacts sync'd - yet)

3) install Titanium Backup (you'll need a ROM that comes with Titanium Backup or simply keep the apk on your SD)

4) use TB to restore the system app (with data) - [Contacts/Calls] Contact Storage

5) use TB to restore the user app (with data) - UltimateCallScreen and UCS HD Pro license (if you paid for it!)

You should now be able to enter your Google account details and sync your contacts as you would normally, but as they are there already, sync'ing them shouldn't alter the usc mappings. This process has worked for me from GB Sense (Endy) to both GB (Reaper) and also to ICS (AOKP )

Note:

I also found the directory /sdcard/ucs_temp that appears to contain most of my contact pictures (FB ones are appended by _F_) it looks like its left behind by UCS at some point?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Just fixed the SMS theme manager crash and the Contacts app name not being translated. I really must stop coding at 3AM...

When you refer to "DEFAULT" not being translated I suppose you are referring to the theme related lists? If so, for the moment it stays that way, because translating it would mean a lot of code change on the theming engine (that string is used in several key points as fallback).

Sorry for the issues guys...

P.S. Update should be available shortly on Play

P.P.S: On the good side, already had confirmation that bluetooth issues are gone, and people that previously simply couldn't load big photos or rotate them are now without issues.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Great will test and report back...

Problem after trying to update via google play I got always the old one and after that I see that an update is available but I cannot update... Maybe a Version conflict in google paly because you use the same number 4.1.0?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I upped the version to V4.1.1. Google Play is a really ****ty platform, just give it some time to wake up and smell the coffee. It's allways messy immediatly after an update.

I just updated mine and got V4.1.1 though...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Thx mate. Got the new files. :)

Tried now the inbuild restore function. When I hit the button "Restore" Popup message says: "UCS Backup", "Backing up all your data, this could take a long time. Do not panic, when finished, this alert box will automatically be closed" not "UCS Backup", "Restoring your backup, this could take a long time. Don not panic, when finished, this alert box will automatically be closed"

BTW, does Restore function work? App is showing this message now more than 15 minutes???
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey,

Backup/restore is not working for all people, and it's due for a full re-approach to the problem. See a post from Ben yesterday with a workaround for this (using titanium backup).

By the way, the issue is that the backup is not being created properly, the zip is not properly closed, and when trying to restore, UCS stalls uncompressing the archive.

I'm sorry, I do plan to fix this...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
No problem, but the workaround do not help if I've troubles with google play store. So I made a backup and deinstalled UCS after reboot I made a reinstallation and tried to restore backup. Did not work so made all setting again ;)

BTW, could it be that when I want to select a picture to a contact via "Select image from gallery" button the following message box title for German "Komplett mit" is hard coded, because I do not found this string in my language file?

Preview of theme for contacts not SMS also shows "Your Contact" means still in English, not German. Buttons are fine ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I opened your file before adding to the project to check if it was the last version and noticed you had forgotten to translate that on (still was "complete action using").

So went to google and translated "complete with" into german, it spit out htat string. :) If it's not the correct way to say it, just tell me and I'll change it.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Nice. Thx mate. I also recodnised that I missed that line. Now it's more clear for me ;)

Use "Vorgang abschließen mit" instead of Google translation ;)

Send a new German translation too.

BTW, can you send me a new complete strings.xml file for 4.1.1 via email...
[Android Apps and Games] Sick1:
After few days testing with finnish translation, everything seems to be PERFECT!!! Love this app now that i fixed my Miui to finnish language too using language packs from other roms... Only thing i need still is backup/restore function fully working and this is the most important app im running! Thanks Lowveld, and remember if you update things and strings im happy to update this finnish languagepack for sure!!!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

I decided to follow a different approach on future updates. Unless it's bugfixes, I'll post incremental updates with new features here first. I had complaints that I update the market version too much... :S

Anyway, I still have to re-do the backup/restore thing. But I'll probably post here today a version with facebook integration improvements. I added a dedicated contact list just for facebook linking. Here's how it's working currently:

- User presses a "link friends" option in "Facebook Integration" menu

- A contact list, much like the contact manager shows up

- Click a picture, UCS shows a list of suggested facebook friends (based on name pattern matching), it there's a friend with the exact same name, only that one shows. If there are no suggestions, the full list shows.

- If you're not happy with the suggestions, there's a "full list" buttin on the dialog that shows all friends (just like the current 4.1.1 version)

- Click the friend you want and you're done, UCS jumps back to the contact list (in the position you were).

It's still not automatic, but it's a hell of a lot easier and faster than the current method through the general contact manager. And you can still use the "old way", I also included the suggestions there.

What do you guys think?

Cheers

@backup/restore function fully working

+1

Current is really dangerous. Tried to restore my backup and got a complete mess up. After an 30 min waiting I stopped the process and got a crash and some of my local saved pictures got deleted! Not a big deal because I've backuped them, but...
[Android Apps and Games] Sick1:
Uuuuu! Sound good man! Probably unnecessary to inform that i have this thing that someone else here had too that my stock dialer and UCS are fighting together when i receive a call? It seems to possibly only happen when device is at sleep... But cant confirm. I try to check a logcat. So it "flashes" back and forth and stock seems to be the winner :D .Doesnt happen in outgoing calls.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Ah!!!! Was waiting for someone to show up with that behavior here on XDA, as it seems to be pretty rare and I cannot reproduce it!

They keep flashing back and forth and never stop? Or does after a couple of times the stock dialer "win"? Are you up for a bit of beta-testing?

Can you tell me your exact setup, which rom you are running and etc? As you have a desire S I can probably setup my phone just like yours and see what happens!

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] mgerbasio:
I keep my phone in my top pocket and bought this app to avoid having my phone answer a call automatically while I'm on another call due to the answer button. I'm still having that problem, can the time for the button press be extended? Maybe an option to remove the buttons and replace with a dedicated "up" swipe to answer and "down" to reject with that shown on the screen.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Got it for one time. Finished my first call and exactly at this moment got a new one. I saw both screens rotating (some seconds) and finally used my swipe gesture to catch the call - or I was only lucky that I could talk with the new caller. Don't really know ;)

GB 2.3.6 Custom ROM, Samsung stock phone.apk - Galaxy Note

With this it happens

later on ive added:

And yes it flashes few times then stays stock!

4.2.0 beta1 - backup/restore fixed, facebook linking improved

Ok guys,

Here's the newest in-progress build:

--old link, see some posts further for new version--

Changelog:

- Added new Facebook linking method: direct access to facebook linking through dedicated contact list in "Facebook Integration" menu, "Link your contacts" option

- Facebook smart syncing: UCS does a name-pattern analysis on contact names, and offers suggestions on which facebook friends could be linked to a given contact

- Fixed bug in Backup/Restore function where it could simply not work on certain situations

- Improved Restore function, much MUCH faster now

- More memory optimizations
​

I think I got everything right with the backup/restore, but the problem is always what I don't think off... So just in case, do a backup of UCS with titanium.

Note that previous backup files are no longer valid, as I had to change the method itself. For testing the feature, here's my suggestion:

- Install this version

- Use the backup function to create a backup

- Uninstall UCS from your phone, then reinstall (this version of course) so it's a clean base

- Use Restore function

Also, try out the new facebook thing if you're licensed. It's 20 times faster to link all your contacts now.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Progress....

GOOD

OK loving the new facebook integration matching! great stuff :D

On a positive some FB pictures that wouldn't sync before do now :)...(although some still fail to sync).:confused:

BAD

Massive - backup file created far too quickly and is 0bytes.... :(:confused: therefore obviously couldn't try restore..... :(

tiny - one of my FB friends never show in the list....even if you refresh it

tiny - FB friends list are still sorted by case rather than A-Z (ie A-Z then a-z)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

That 0 bytes thing was certainly not expected, got some thinking to do...

I admit to have completely forgotten about the case sensitive sorting, my bad...

Cheers!

P.S. Reports, even bad ones, are always welcome guys!
[Android Apps and Games] Sick1:
Same thing, backup not workin. New facebook integration thing is really awesome!!!!! Thanks for that. Dont know what you did and maybe too early to say but 3 phone calls received and no flashing dialers yet.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Also same 0 byte backup not working. About FB feature, sorry I do not use FB ;)

How about translation? Any new lines in this beta available which I cannot catch because I cannot test e.g. FB features?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Didn't do anything related to that... Must be something that happens sort of randomly, the worst kind of issue... Believe me, I', almos glad when something consistently crashes, it means it's traceable.

Hey mate, I got your translations, will already be on next builds. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
4.2.0b2 - backup/restore fixed?

Ok, thanks to Ben for testing, here goes beta 2 with backup/restore working (don't dare tellimg me I said this before! ;P)

http://desworks.de/android/UCS/UltimateCallScreen4.2.0.b2.apk

Cheers!

P.S. The issue was I didn't account for the default known/unknown contacts picture case when backing up.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Link not working - 404 error
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Sorry, just fixed it...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Version V4.2.0 final is out

Ok guys,

First, let me thank you for all the help you've given, specially with the backup/restore function. After the latest beta I still needed some debug, and Ben Pyett helped me a great deal: without your help mate, I would probably have released another buggy version, convinced that "this time it's fine!".

Anyway, as this fixed a known issue, I synced the market version to what we had here, and then some.

Changelog:

New Facebook Fast Linking: direct access to facebook linking from "Facebook Integration" menu

- New Facebook Smart Syncing: UCS does a name-pattern analysis on contact names, and offers suggestions on which Facebook friends could be linked to a given contact

- Added "Download Themes" button in "Theme Manager" for fast and easy access to UCS themes.

- Fixed bug in Backup/Restore function where it could simply not work on certain situations

- Improved Restore function, much, MUCH faster now​

Not on the changelog, and almost as an afterthought (I was going to completely slip my mind again), the Facebook friend list is now case insensitive, addressing a long-time-issue from Ben.

Hope you enjoy! As always, market could take a while to update-kick-it-self, so I'm posting here a direct link:

http://desworks.de/android/UCS/UltimateCallScreen.apk

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Nice, something new to play ;)

Please could you be so kind and send me the new translation lines for new features. Some text is in English and needs to be translated...
