I'm completely revising the code, so I'll check out the possibility. What strikes me as more weird is what to do with the caller photo? Rotate it too? It would look weird, but so does seeing someone's face sideways.

What do you guys think?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Rotating the photo looks really bad. Cutting also, how about adding a second photo for landscape to each contact? Yes a lot of work, and but.... ;)
[Android Apps and Games] darklord20k:
Conflict with stock miui's caller, it can't intercept above stock at all :(
[Android Apps and Games] spoks:
In my opinion it shouldn't be so bad.

Only "bad thing" will be - photo will not be full screen. But this also shouldn't be problem, because in area of "free place" would be other information (call duration, buttons? ... etc.).

Second photo is bad idea.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
It depends where do you cut the photos or which kind of photos you use. Some of mine a very "special" and if the app do the cutting automatically these kind of photos looks really really bad ;) But if we have a choise not using rotated pictures, all is fine...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The problem with addin another photo just for landscape mode is not the code, but the added complexity when setting up the app. Basically when adding any picture, you would have another decision level, saying if it would be for landscape or portrait, then do the appropriate cropping. Any facebook-imported picture would have to be manually cropped, etc.

Honestly, this doesn't seem very user friendly, and it might turn off users. UCS already has so much stuff in it that's kind of intimidating, and I'm half convinced that most users don't even find out most options. But let's see...

On a different note, I'm reworking the interface, adding some tabs to make navigation easier. Looks like this:

Also, I'm adding an option to the phone syncer: "Sync as you go", that will make each picture you add to UCS immediately be synced back to android internal database so it can be used on other apps.

What do you guys think?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Legobricke:
That would be perfect!

The only other request I personally have would to add in an overall facebook sync list... Being that once you sync your friends list, have it compare it to your internal contact list and then bring up a menu list of all the contacts with their facebook contact... From that list you can pick the ones you want to link.... Those that don't match a contact in the facebook list can be added as they are normally.

The reason I ask for this is that I have 321 contacts and it can take me quite a while to manually link my contact to each facebook contact.

Lego
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Let me see what I can do about it. There are 2 different approaches that I can think off, still maintaining a foolproof linking (e.g. not aooutolinking, as it could lead to potentially disastrous effects: imagine answering your boss thinking he was a beer-pal :) ):

1: provide a list of only single match contacts, I mean, those who exactly match name by name with a facebook contact. Then you could accept each one instantly.

2: provide a list with possible matches, eg: contacts with possible multiple matches on facebook. Then you would have to choose from the list of possibles and then accept.

Option 2 is pretty much what happens when you go through the actual facebook-dedicated contact list for facebook linking, it just removes all the contacts that have no match whatsoever.

What option do you think best?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Legobricke:
Probably easier to go the option1 route....

That alone would save me allot of time as I have had Facebook de-authorize and when I go back and authorize it, it de-links some of not all the UCS contacts...

As this is not an issue with UCS, it is an issue with the Facebook app.

As for contacts that don't get set up in option 1, the current procedure for linking works fine...

New interface looks great, but better than the old one. About landscape photos let's session the results what happens when you implement the function. I think there are not many good possibilities ;) If I have a choice to unselect this feature it's okay ;) And if you use your phone in Tablet Modus all the time, you will have all photos in the way you want them...
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
The new UI looks good.

Don't believe that landscape mode is worth the effort unless you simply force rotated the existing image, which wouldn't look good, so would take away from the whole purpose of the application so don't bother -sorry but my opinion.

My opinion is to go with option 1 from the syncing choices in the post above.

You could even consider a two stage setup initial linking process, which first does the option 1 (auto links identical 1 to 1 matches) and then presents you with the option 2 contracts as a list (excluding all matched from option 1) so that you can setup or exclude all that remain unlinked.

Also like the idea of the sync as you go addition.

I also suspect the complexity of the product will now begin to confuse newcomers as I know it does me on occasion every now and again. You could consider getting around this by adding an automated setup wizard that guides the user through each of the necessary setup screens/stages on the correct order, so that they could fully setup UCS.

This may also reduce the number of confused questions and posts from users who don't setup the application properly on install as you would hopefully guarantee that all the necessary stages of setup would be performed inn the correct order. Appreciate that this might mean more work, but you'd surely only linking existing functions together through the wizard.

Thoughts? Cheers

Strange one off issue on latest version of UCS and Fallout

When refreshing the FB friends list, it completed successfully, but the toast line was left on screen and wouldn't be removed. I run apex launcher, but even restarting that and running the fast reboot application didn't resolve it, it needed a reboot!

Although can't get it to happen again, just thought I'd report it.

[Android Apps and Games] spoks:
That's what I thought about. I don't know how APP could make rotation, but in any case, it would be better than nothing.

I agree that this could be switchable function.

Beta 7.0.0 version

Ok guys,

Here you go:

outdated: final version is out

Changelog:

- Redesigned User Interface

- Added "I Feel Lucky" option to Facebook integration: attempt to automatch phone contacts to Facebook friends automatically (licensed only)

- Added "Sync As You Go" option to Phone Syncer: automatically sync android internal pictures when you assign new ones in UCS

- Fixed issue with auto-cropping to square aspect-ratio for internal phone syncing
​

I'm still considering if the landscape mode is feasible/worth it. And the "Setup Wizard" idea from Ben was great! Now implementing it will be a pain...

Tell me what you think of the current status!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
New interface looks great.

Unfortunately I do not use the other new features (no FB account - never ever ;) and do not use the auto resync of UCS because I use another app for updating my Google pictures in perfect square format as I want it)

PS: Please dont' forget to publish the new string files for translation ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

Here are the 2 usual files, this time there's an extra on the arrays:

Thanks!

[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
My phone (TMobile g2) doesn't seem to like this app. I tried to get it to work for some time and even switched my ROM a few times. Thinking I don't have enough memory. The screen will stay black throughout the entire time someone is trying to call me. It will show the call screen when the call goes to Voicemail and then just hangs there. Eventually, I will try again. This is quite impressive and just has an amazing look so I'm sad to not be using it now. The stock ics call screen is just so ugly...
[Android Apps and Games] spoks:
:fingers-crossed: Please, make positive decision :fingers-crossed:

Actually, in my case this option is main reason to considering of app purchase.

At least ... some Beta version of landscape mode?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
You know that you can crop your pics and rotate them to be in landscape?
[Android Apps and Games] spoks:
:rolleyes: that is not solution. I know, that I can also leave phone in vertical position...
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
I know, but someone likes to use the phone always in Tablet modus, so this could be an easy solution. :)

V7.0.0 Released

Ok Guys,

Version 7.0.0 is out on Google Play. It's pretty much the same as in the previous beta, plus the updated translations and some minor adjustments (a couple of options cheanged places to make them more visible).

Changelog:

- Redesigned User Interface

- Added "I Feel Lucky" option to Facebook integration: attempt to automatch phone contacts to Facebook friends automatically (licensed only)

- Added "Sync As You Go" option to Phone Syncer: automatically sync android internal pictures when you assign new ones in UCS

- Fixed issue with auto-cropping to square aspect-ratio for internal phone syncing

As for the pending ideas:

- landscape mode is still "under study" mode

- Setup Wizard is under "How the hell will I do it" mode

Cheers!

Well the v7 of UCS would be great, I've always had a fan of it... but now... how the #&@! sync with my facebook account, if I press "Sync Friends List" or "Sync Pictures Now!"... it stucks :S... the app says my friends list had refreshed, but nothing happened :S
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The first thing you need to do is:

- sync friend list

This will let UCS know who your Facebook friends are withou always having to ask Facebook. The next thing you do is actually link some Facebook friends to your phone contacts:

- link your contacts (on Facebook tab)

You can also use the contact manager for this, or the new "I feel lucky" option. Each timed you link a contact his photo gets downloaded. The "sync all" option is only needed to check if the Facebook friend photo changed, and download it if needed. But the important thing is that that option only acts on phone contacts you already have linked. Why? Because you wouldn't want to automatically download a couple of thousand pictures unless you are going to use them. :)

Yes, UCS needs a setup wizard...

Cheers

Ok, it's important that we are speaking of the same issues. I just unauthorized UCS from facebook, installed the app fresh, re-authorized, and synced with no issues. So can you guys follow a test procedure?

1: Uninstall UCS, and install this version: View attachment UltimateCallScreen.apk

2: Go to the facebook tab and press "Sync friend list"

3: in the facebook tab, press "link your contacts"

4: press any contact

What happens? Does a popup box with facebook friends show, or does a message telling you to sync your friend list show?

Please let me know the answer!

Well, I tried it as soon as you wrote that post.

And the what I made :

- Uninstalled, the app ( + did a datawipe before )

- Dowloaded the specific app

- Installed it

And in the end : Nothing -.-

I did it just as you told me...but in the " Step number 2 " part it just stucks... nothing happening, no popups at all. It shows the Friend list updated" message, and then it freeze out. But in the v6.xx when I pressed the "Sync Pictures Now!" button the facebook login window popped up, but now ... nothing it says "All pictures uodated" and the same problem... it freezes out, than I cannot link at all.. because it says I have to syny my facebook friends ...

Ok guys, I managed to reproduce your problem, sort of... The issue was that the facebook authorization page for mobile apps could not be reached. It seems to be a random problem, and it's working fine at the moment.

This seems to affect only the case where you have to authorize the app, basically on a new UCS installation. After authorization is successful the pictures download fine no matter what.

There really is nothing I can do about this, so please keep trying and report back when you manage to login.

I tested the app on both Gingerbread and ICS with no problems. Also some WiFi routers may block the authorization, so you can try to do it while over a 3G connection, and preferrably after a reboot (to clean routing cache).

Cheers

Well it could be several problems that I thinked over during a walk. It could be the rom's fault in my mimmi ... ooor I sheared the net with my laptop via adhoc ... the problem is that i can't try 3G connection, because I don't have it ( yet :D ), causing money issues.

Hey,

After some more investigation, one possible solution for your issue can be installing the official Facebook For Android app from Google Play. If you have it installed, the authentication requests from UCS are handled from the app. and it seems to circumvent connectivity issues.

Do you guys already have it installed? And if not, can you try it out and report back?

Hey guys,

I just bought the UCS and I'm loving It!

Only problem: I can't change the theme. I press the button to apply but nothing happens.

Any help?

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi there,

After you choose the theme, you can preview what it looks like with "Preview Current Theme" just below the "Choose Theme" button.

I just tried it, and it's working fine. The problem probably is that both the rotary buttons (default) and sliding buttons remain un-themed (I have to update both UCS theme engine and all themes for that). So it might just be that the theme you're choosing just looks much like the default on the Caller ID block.

Try the following:

1. Go to Call Settings->Callscreen Interface and click the first option, "Answer/Decline interface"

2. Choose "Push Buttons"

3. Try changing themes again and see if it's more obvious.

Alternatively, themes very distinctive like "Sketch" should be immediately obvious even without changing to push buttons.

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers

Hi,

I searched this topic, but I have not found an answer to this question:

Is it possible to setup sms screen to mark sms as unread for the system when I choose dismiss? I can't figure out how to do it - choosing dismiss only hides UCS sms screen, but I have to go android sms app and read the message in order for the notification to disappear...

Hi I'm new here.. I want to ask about wrong caller id. I'm using UCS along with go launcher. When incoming call the screen switches between launcher screen, default screen & UCS screen (with wrong caller id). Sometimes just switches between default screen & UCS (but with wrong caller id again). I want to ask could I disable go launcher screen & default screen (or is there any way) so I just see only UCS screen with the right caller id?

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
If I understand correctly, UCS is crashing when you pick a picture from the gallery. There are still some crashes like that, although I managed to optimize most of the process (the first UCS versions were a lot more demanding).

Probably it's an "out of memory" error. I'm constantly trying to optimize the picture handling, but some lower-end phones still struggle with it. I'm sorry to say that for the time being, I have no solution for you, but I am planning to re-write the entire image-handling code, but it could take some time...

Can you provide me some more details on when the crashes happen? In the current version (7.1.1) I fixed an issue where if you stayed some time at the "preview contact" screen, the app would crash. I'm still going through the code checking if the issue could appear somewhere else also.

People where the pictures suddenly appear assigned to wrong contacts: probably your google account re-synced your phone, assigning different internal IDs to what you had. It should not do that, but it already happened to a lot of people a couple of months back. Two possible solutions:

- Clear the app data and setup UCS all over again. This would be the safe choice.

- Backup your current data (in UCS backup), clean your app data in android, then restore your backup in UCS. UCS will try to match names to your new IDs, but it could be tricky.

I have seen it happen before, and to my knowledge that's a very specific situation:

- you're running Sense 4

- it has something to do with dialing directly from the call log. I think it happens when dialing back to a missed call number, but not sure if always.

At the time I couldn't debug it, as it was on a friends phone and I still hadn't built Fallout. Thanks for bringing it up, I'll look it up!
