[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
This is an amazing app and idea. As much as I enjoy the default call screen we've all been around, I dislike the look of the new ICS call screen. This makes me happy along with every friend I had over last night. 6 different devices got this call screen just because I showed it to them. Flip to reject was a big hit.

A few things I would like to see though,

I don't want to see the stock call screen, at all. Not even for a second. Kept a few of my friends from using it. Said it's not clean enough.

Also, if there was a way you could put all the options (speaker, dialpad, bluetooth, hold, etc) into a pulldown menu, that would IMHO, complete this call screen. Just swipe down on the top gray box and BAM, everythings there. That would be fresh...

I would like to make a theme for this, would you be kind enough to provide me with the skeleton?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

As for your points:

- There's no way I can remove the stock call screen with a simple apk, it just can't be done. With root privileges and a lot of balls, I could try some stuff, but I would never release such a thing into the wild, as with all the variations out there, I would probably bootloop a good percentage of devices. This belongs on "rom cooking" territory. I myself will try to do this on one of my roms, but it is definitely not for general purpose use.

- You can access all your call options and extras by pressing back and going to the default call screen. I thought this was a good idea, but some people are not liking it. But I'll revisit this. At least, a loudspeaker button must be added to the interface for people with hands-free kits while driving.

- The theming as it is now is quite simple. Feel free (you and anyone else) to take the current 2 themes and take them apart, build whatever you want from them. Any doubts, just PM me. BUT be aware that the theming engine is an area where I do want to change some stuff (for added capabilities, of course), so I may change the themes structure in the near future. Fair warning...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
Sounds good and understandable. Maybe another version could be released for root users...

The clean look should not be altered. Having everything in a pulldown would be amazing and would retain the clean aesthetics...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I'm also toying with the idea of swipe gestures. Like "swipe up" for loudspeaker, "down" to default call screen, etc..

Anyone wanting to do feature requests/suggestions at this point, feel free to do it! There are limitation to what can be done, but I take every suggestion as valid. You guys are the users...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Pleas,e upload me the apk and I can suggest things. Market says it's incompatible. Let me at least try it and see if it works
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Sorry for not answering sooner. Just added the latest apk to post #3 on this thread. I'll keep it synced with the latest version on market.

I'm curious about your device, as someone already complained it wasn't working. Let me know how it goes!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I will test now. I will edit later with my device specs and if worked or not.

EDIT: Tapatalk says it's a attachment and has 195 bytes. I think you made something wrong with the upload.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
No, something's wrong with XDA attachments. Just tried, and although it says it's the correct size, the download is trash.

Anyway, just replaced the attachment to a link on a private server of a friend.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
OK. Did a little test. Worked PERFECT. I just want a ICS theme as default now...

The Pro version is quite expensive, in my opinion... But it worked.

This is the first custom call screen that worked.

I won't use that much now, 'cause I don't have HD pictures to use. Maybe when I get my Xperia S, I will take HD pictures and use it.

I don't know if this is a missing feature of from the Pro version, but use the stock picture is a good when you don't have any other...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Glad it worked out. :)

Yes, using the stock picture as default is on the pro version. Together with something like haxsync, you can make UCS use your contacts facebook pics.

As for the price... Well, it did take (and is taking) all my free time for a loooong time. Plus, I think the Free version is feature packed. To my knowledge, I am the only one that doesn't put a contact limit, or adds or timeouts or whatever on the free version.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
I already use HaxSync (going to leave it for a while in 1 month 'cause Xperia S is still on GB).

For the price, as I am only 15, it's hard to me to buy a lot of things... And almost every app that costs more that 5 reais (a little bit more than US$ 2.50) is expensive, only a few of them really worth it.

I think I will talk to my mom in the future, to see if she allows me to put her credit card on Google :D

Anyway, keep the good work. Will keep following here to see how everything is going.
[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
I have never heard of HaxSync. What is it and where do I find it?

Great job on making me feel like a noob. Lol

Sent from me CM7 Nightly HTC Vision using XDA App that needs to show signatures
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Hahaha. HaxSync is a app that syncs your contacts from Facebook and download their photos and status to your contacts on phone. It can sync calendar and birthdays to Calendar app too. Only for ICS. You can find it on GPlay.
[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
Oh that wont help me, I'm on GB.

Thanks for the information though.

New feature on the works: suggestions?

Hey Guys,

After a bit of brainstorming with Ingenious, a nifty new feature came to mind: Preset Configurations. The idea is to provide the user with a one-touch configuration of UCS, and changing on the fly between configurations.

I'm still working on the implementation, but I'd like to hear from you how you use UCS, and what kind of configurations you would like. Just imagine you install UCS from scratch, and apart from setting contact pictures (of course), what steps you take to make it "yours". Things like hiding interface elements, setting up swipe gestures, etc. Anything goes!

PROBLEM with HTC ONE X

Hello,

I want to congratulate you, because I think that your app is the best of all!! My friend has UCS and it works perfect but I have also the FULL VERSION PAID version of the app but it doesn't work! I have HTC One X and I know that android 4.1.1 Sense 4+ stock no root has a more protection. The application works but when I press the button to answer the application works correctly in terms of graphics but it really does not answer the call and the phone from which you called, continues to call!! When I open it, an ALLERT MESSAGE explains this:

"UCS detected you're running it on a HTC One Series phone. This message is to warn you that the upcoming HTC update to JellyBean will breack the Answer function of the app. This will only affect HTC phones running the Stock HTC JellyBean Sense Rom, non-rooted. If your phone is rooted, simply activate the root workaround for answer and you will have no problems. I will keep trying to find a way around the problem, but for now I couldn't find another way. The iusse will affect every app that tries to answer call, not only this application, but I prefer to let you know in advance".

I hope I managed to explain the problem and I hope that you will update it!! Thanks very much!!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi there,

Well, the alert message pretty much explains all: HTC phones running stock HTC Sense 4+ roms on Jelly Bean cannot use the "Answer" function on UCS, unless they turn on the root workaround for answer on the Workarounds menu.

Of course this is not ideal, but it has been almost 4 months now since I detected the problem, and still could not find a way around it. Also, it's not only UCS, but every similar app.

Note that this is specific for HTC roms, other Jelly Bean devices, or even HTC phones running other Jelly Bean roms (like Cyanogen) have no issues at all.

I won't go into details, but the problem is caused by an unfortunate conjugation of changes introduced in JB and HTC changes introduced on their side...

Cheers

Thanks very much!! You've been very thorough! You've been very thorough! I am very sorry to know that I can not use your application, because it is the best app I've found! I hope that this situation will change in the future ...

Re: [APP][2.1+][3 FEV 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Sensor

Not currently, sorry.

I've been playing with an option to show detailed contact information on request during a call, but its not ready yet, and it won't be on next release probably.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
Holy crap, I just got my Nexus 4 and the difference between this phone and my previous SGS2 is incredible. No more stock pic at all, it goes right to my UCS! Great job man.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Yes, I have one also, and can vouch for the performance there.

On older phones you may still see the stock interface flashing, but nowhere near has long has before version 9.0.0. On the N4 and SGS3 and probably most recent phones, the loading time is pretty much instant.

V9.1.0 beta-0

Ok guys,

I've been trying out some ideas, and I still want to check some more stuff before I release the update, but the current build is pretty solid already. So, I'm sharing here:

Changelog:

- Added "Smart Info": for personalized known contacts, automatically hide name, number and CID block background

- Added "Profiles" feature: one touch configuration of UCS behavior

- Added option to use different default pictures for unknown contacts on incoming and outgoing calls

- Added workaround option for dual-sim phones to be able to choose sim card on outgoing calls

- FIX: allow notifications to be pulled down if the status bar is not hidden in call screens
​

There are no actual bug fixes, only additions. Well, there's that notification pull down thing but that was not actually a bug, but a user complained so now it's there.

I really like the "Smart Info" thing. You can find the new option to override the default unknown picture for incoming/outgoing on "Call Settings -> Default Pictures"

Download: newer version available up ahead

Let me know of what you think of the current build, and of any other stuff you think should be included.

Cheers

About Translation service : the administration could be the first time a little bit tricky, especially when you add some new strings. Got some messed up translation strings in the past. So backup is always good before...

Btw, tested the lasted beta on my 10.1 tablet and the layout was really, really great :D

Re: [APP][2.1+][3 FEV 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Sensor

Hello. Loving the new features and reorganisations. Here is an interesting feature request.... Although Probably just for me....

As i mentioned before I'm still having some difficulty with the swipe/gesture actions when answering the phone. Unlike my previous device it always takes me multiple attempts to answer a call on the N4... which can be embarrassing/annoying if I'm in work meetings or the office.

So I'd like either additional call interfaces or an option on the existing ones

All of these current call interface options (Call settings->main call interface) have answer on the left where as I've always swiped to the right to answer.

Is there any chance you could provide the option to configure or switch the answer to right on the various options... Especially the ring picker?

I know that I could use the existing ones and try to learn to press the other buttons, I tried once and hung up every incoming call!

Much appreciated. Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
That's actual an old idea that somehow I never thought off again. Let me see what I can come up with in terms of current interface customization.

As for new interfaces (e.g. the pull-down tab someone had suggested), I have a couple in mind but those features are frozen until I check some internal stuff and architecture choices I made on the (long long) past. Current implementation doesn't scale very well, I can't keep adding new ones without sooner or later shooting myself on the foot.

9.1.0 beta-1

Ok guys, here goes the current build:

Cumulative Changelog:

- Added "Smart Info": for personalized known contacts, automatically hide name, number and CID block background

- Added "Profiles" feature: one touch configuration of UCS behavior

- Added option to invert position of Answer and Decline buttons on Rotary, Sliding Tab, and Push Buttons interfaces

- Added option to use different default pictures for unknown contacts on incoming and outgoing calls

- Added workaround option for dual-sim phones to be able to choose sim card on outgoing calls

- FIX: allow notifications to be pulled down if the status bar is not hidden in call screens
​

Comparing to the last build (beta-0), this one allows inverting the placement of answer and reject buttons on Rotary, Sliding Tab, and Push Buttons interfaces. Full customization of the ring picker (e.g. choosing which of the 4 targets are where) will come, but it will take me a while longer to do.

The new feature is available on the menu where you choose the call interface "Call Settings -> Main Call Interface". Right at the bottom there's a "Customize Interface" section that will change based on the interface you currently have chosen.

Download: Final version available on Google Play

V9.1.0 Final Released

Ok guys,

Final version is out. Full changelog from V9.0.0:

Changelog:

- Added "Smart Info": for personalized known contacts, automatically hide name, number and CID block background

- Added "Profiles" feature: one touch configuration of UCS behavior

- Added full costumization of Ring Picker interface targets, you define what each button does

- Added option to invert position of Answer and Decline buttons on Rotary, Sliding Tab, and Push Buttons interfaces

- Added option to use different default pictures for unknown contacts on incoming and outgoing calls

- Added workaround option for dual-sim phones to be able to choose sim card on outgoing calls

- Privacy Screen now supports sensor actions (turn to mute ringer or hang up call)

- FIX: allow USSD type messages to correctly show

- FIX: allow notifications to be pulled down if the status bar is not hidden in call screens

- minor bugfixes and optimizations​

Comparing to last beta, this version already includes full customization of the Ring Picker targets. I also went through some feedback people sent me (Thanks Gabor!) and fixed some stuff: Privacy Screen now supports sensor actions (as it should), and there was an issue that if you pressed the back button while a call was ringing, the Missed Call Screen would be shown.

There is also a workaround for dual sim phone users who couldn't pick the sim card to use on outgoing calls (has to be manually activated), and USSD messages should now display correctly.

Other than that there were some more optimizations, which pave the way to more interfaces on the future.

The update should be available on Google Play in a couple of hours, as soon as Google processes it.

Hey,

I am preparing (as always) the next update. One of the things I've been meaning to do for a long time was revamp the detailed contact screen (when you press the contact on contact manager).

It's now looking like this:

What do you guys think?

As for new features, this is what is currently working:

- Fixed issue with call answering on some phones

- Added text color customization to SMS Theme Manager

- Added option to exclude contacts from UCS

- Themes now also apply to Privacy Screen

- Fix contact preview wrongly applying Smart Info for non-personalized contacts

Any thoughts?

Ok guys,

No point on sitting on the code at this stage. Here goes the current build:

Changelog up to now:

- Fixed issue with call answering on some phones

- Added text color customization to SMS Theme Manager

- Added option to exclude contacts from UCS

- Themes now also apply to Privacy Screen

- Re-designed Detailed Contact view on Contact Manager

- Fix contact preview wrongly applying Smart Info for non-personalized contacts​

Download: removed - final version 9.2.0 released on Google Play

If someone has issues with call answering on this build, please let me know immediately. I addressed an issue for a user, but want to make sure I didn't screw it up for someone else.

The "Exclude Contact" feature and SMS text color customization were also requests from users.

And do let me know what you think about the Detailed Contact view layout. I spent a ridiculous amount of time fine tuning it. You wouldn't believe how hard it was for me to put a picture on the left side of the spinner, and align everything.

Hey!

There's a short tutorial on post #3 of this thread, but it's very incomplete by now. After this next update, I'll take a break from actual development and clean up old issues like these:

- Provide adequate instructions and a sample theme project ready for Eclipse

- Set up that translation service user99 mentioned

If you mean HTC phones running stock HTC roms with Sense and Android 4.1 and above, unfortunately no.

For those, the only way is to use the root workaround on the workarounds menu. It shouldn't be much of a problem here in XDA given what we usually do to our phones...

If I ever get that issue fixed, I will immediately post it here and update UCS. Believe me...

V9.2.0 is out

Ok guys, 9.2.0 is out.

Changelog:

- Added new Heads Up Display compact call interface, custom position available

- Added new HUD Profile

- Added text color customization to SMS Theme Manager

- Added option to exclude contacts from UCS

- Themes now also apply to Privacy Screen

- Re-designed Detailed Contact view on Contact Manager

- Fixed issue with call answering on some phones

- Fix contact preview wrongly applying Smart Info for non-personalized contacts​

My favorite part of this release id the HUD, mainly because it's been on my mind since the Missed Call Screen implementation, but I never did find the time to go through with it. Also there were implementation-specific issues that prevented me from safely adding new interfaces, but those were changed on 9.1.0.

So, give the HUD a shot, and note that you can position in on the bottom, top, or middle of the screen.

As usual, it could take a couple of hours before the update is available from Play.

About the stretching, they are .9.pngs, that should never happen... What phone are you running UCS on? Is it the Arc S on your sig with PA installed?

The not translated strings on the theme preview I confirm, it was already there but I never noticed it. I'll get on to it!
