Well technically, Facebook itself would qualify as a "3rd party app" as you are not the developer of FB.. which is the impression I was under by reading that sentence (3rd party apps meaning FB, Twitter, etc)

However I like the app, and I will not request a refund.

Quick question - the 'intercept outgoing calls' permission - what feature is that needed for exactly? I'm sure it's probably necessary however I would like to have an explanation if you don't mind, obviously that is quite a security breach and should only be allowed to the most trusted developers.

Thank you!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
How do you think UCS is capable of detecting an outgoing call and show the fullscreen picture of the destination contact?

Ill change the text on the listing, I'm not here to try to fool anyone...

Cheers

P.S. Glad you considered me a "trusted developer "
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I watch for a long time before I install apps with permissions such as this. I've been following this thread and market ratings intermittently for months, though I have to admit I have been lazy on reading all of the comments lately

I didn't think you intended to fool anyone, simple misunderstanding on my part (perhaps could have been worded more clearly, but you are taking care of that)

Thank you for the explanation, appreciate it. Looking forward to showing off your app and sending customers your way

Noticed something weird when I choose a photo from gallery as a contact photo - it deletes the photo from my gallery! Also, I cannot find the data folder for your app on my SD card anywhere. Can you help me out here?

Also cannot use voicemail. Won't let me enter the pass code no matter what I do. Keypad is not functional during call, no matter what it does not register key presses.

This makes the app unusable for me.

Can this be corrected?

Here it works like it should, pics are still present after assigning them.

Maybe try to gather logcat information of the assignment, could be helpful for lowveld.

Check /data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files for the pics.

If you face an issue, just press back to go back to the default call screen.

Would also be helpful to gather logcat information about this one for lowveld, without the ability to reproduce it it's hard to fix, at least some debug info could be needed.

If you don't know how to gather the info, check alogcat at the play store.

Thanks, I'm familiar with logcats, appreciate the information on the data location and workaround.

Wonder why it's deleting my photos when I assign them. It's renaming them when it stores the photos in /data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files, but I guess that is to be expected. Shouldn't delete the original photo though.

If I have time I will send some logcats to the dev, rather not have to do the footwork for an app at this price point but I guess I can help out.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
There's definitely a problem with the keypad that comes up with the swipe up, I'll check it out tomorrow. I didn't bring the source code home on purpose.

And its impossible for your original pictures to be deleted. They are being streamed into memory, handled and saved somewhere else. Unless there's a serious bug in your rom that causes accessing the media store delete stuff.

No need to send logcats. At this price point I should be able to access your phone telepathicaly, no footwork involved. And if you believe "buying to support the dev " means getting the right to question my honesty, continuous *****ing about the price, and generally acting like I owe you money, all in the space of 3 posts, I'll gladly refund you.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Tectas:
I can understand what you're up to, but it is really worth the money.

And remember this apps release date is the first of this month and it already made much progress till then.

Lowveld puts much of his time into it (I guess when only the time he spends on this would count, the application would be much more expensive ;)) and he is one of the less developers who fixes an issue almost straight after it's occurrence.

And also think about how hard it is to integrate fixes for every possible issue at first stance with the big variation of devices and mods the application works on.

Let him take a look at it and I'm sure you won't be disappointed :)

Edit: ok, ignore this post.

How would bugs bunny say, that's all folks.

Has been to much.

So far this is a great app although I do have an issue of my own.......

I keep getting calls from a particular number that I'd blocked via the keypad in Endymion but the call still gets through even though it's blocked, the UCS screen then stays on even when the call times out.

Also, cannot turn off the call blocker in UCS as of last version.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Confirmed there's a problem with the call blocker options. With the change in UI I must have forgotten to connect the callbacks. What a mess...

Easy fix, but It will have to wait until tomorrow. Also direct access to the dialpad DTMF issue is not looking good. That part of the telephony manager is again locked out, and apparently only the default dialer can do that. Still heve to research a bit more though.

Cheers

Don't forget to take your time to rest, I really appreciate all you're doing, but don't forget to slow down in between, play with your boy, go to cinema or do whatever you like, except programming ;)

You already do it at your work and also do it at the nights afaik.

I really can understand your passion about it, but everyone needs a little rest, even you and I'm sure almost everyone here (and also at the desire s forum and ftl thread) could understand if you need a bit peace.

You really deserve it at my opinion.

I didn't find my posts to be insulting at any point whatsoever. Please explain where you see me "continuously *****ing about the price"? The only comment I ever made was in my last post, and was in reference of doing footwork for you. And please tell me, when did I question your honesty? When I asked what one permission was for? Attention all customers: Please don't ask any questions pertaining to permissions, even if it is just out of curiosity since we are not Devs and may just wonder something. This may be construed as questioning his honesty, even though I stated that from my observations he is a trusted developer.

Overreacting to my posts and throwing a temper tantrum, while insinuating that I am a liar ("And its impossible for your original pictures to be deleted") is probably not the best course of action.

#1. Your app IS deleting my photos from the gallery. Period. Whether you think it's possible or not. I tested this multiple times, all with the same result.

#2. I never insinuated that you have a telepathic link to my phone. I've worked with many Devs and very few needed access to my logcats to address an issue. Maybe you want to ask them what they do to fix issues? Sorry I tend to be protective of my personal data, all of which can be pulled from a logcat unless I take the time to narrow it down to the relevant data you need. Again, more work for me.

#3. When did I say you owe me money? Last I checked, I just paid you $3.99 for an app that is deleting my photos and has features that don't function correctly (yet). I don't recall every asking for money or making a statement to that effect

Now, if you're done insulting one of your customers and would like to have a respectable dialog, I can assist you with the logcats (just like I said I would do in my previous post) and maybe we can start all over.

IMO, you owe me one thing - an apology. But here's betting that I have none of that coming and plenty of unwarranted insults, as you have already shown me that you act like a child without provocation.

You can either send me a ****ing refund or respect me and we can move forward like grown men and help you fix your app, so that all Galaxy S2 users will have a properly functioning version.

Hello

I have a question about the pictures. Is it normal that when I use a third party app to link facebookpics with UCS, the quality is very bad?

Also when I link a HD picture to a random contact in the default contactlist (not trough UCS), the resolution in UCS remains very bad.

But when I link the same picture to this contact through UCS, the quality is prefect.

I use SyncMyPix as third party app.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
this is a flaw with SyncMyPix not UCS
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi,

Well, yes. When you link a picture through your contact list, android scales it down to what it thinks it a proper resolution. The problem is it was a proper resolution 4 years ago.

When you link a picture in UCS, I handle the cropping and saving, so the picture is exactly the resolution of your screen, no more, no less. This makes it look as good as it can get, and occupy the minimum space possible.

As for SyncMyPix, the problem is that app being too old, and it fetches the low resolution photos of your contacts, and you hit the same problem. Haxsync does it way better (it fetched the high resolution photos), but unfortunately it only works on ICS.

I do intend to add builtin facebook syncing capabilities to UCS, but no ETA at the moment.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] hipher:
I've been trying deleting and reinstalling the app but the problem still remains. Always the same, I can't see the picture selected to crop and zoom. If I save it, it's there. If I rotate the phone, force close.

I've recorded a log, hopefully it'll help solve this issue that makes the app unsable for me right now.

Hello out there,

I have got one major issue with UCS:

I'm not able to decline an incoming call. Tried several things (un-/reinstall, reboot, different settings in CM7). I see the button reacting on a press but then - nothing.

Please tell me how I can help to fix this. Should I try the swipe action from the paid version (which I don't have yet, because of the decline issue)? Or is this leading to the same command which is not working?

I'm wondering because I'm using the Reaper ROM :confused:. (Which is really great by the way! Never thought I can do it without Sense;))

I had to uninstall the build-in UCS first instead of updating it directly because the market told me there are some incompatibilities with the signature? Anyway... what to do?

Cheers

V 1.4.2 out (bugfixes)

Ok guys, sorry for last version issues:

1.4.2:

- Fixed issue where the call blocker settings were fixed and unchangeable for all users.

- Removed the swipe up action, the dialpad that was shown is not usable for tone dialing, and it was leading to some confusion.

- Free users now have "swipe down" action enabled to bring the default phone interface up, and you can call the dialpad from there.

- [Free users] Don't forget that apart from installing new themes, all parts of the theme manager are available for you, check it out!​

Direct dialpad access is looking very bad, but I still have to do some research. For now, I just removed the "swipe up" for it. I unlocked the "swipe down" for free users as "compensation".

The call blocker thing is fixed, and note to devs out there: When using Eclipse "auto generate stubs", it always puts a "return false" at the end. Live and learn.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
And because I'm not 15 years old...

I do owe an apology to ingenious247.

You are right, I was stressed out, mis-interpreted your posts tone, and overreacted.

Thing is, I'm getting so much abuse from users from market reviews and private emails that I'm considering pulling out the free version form market. I don't do this for a living, and I certainly don't deserve to be insulted left and right.

Put that together with working 10 hours at my regular job (also programming) and doing UCS at night, and I'm pretty much exhausted and on a short fuse.

I think I'll take Tectas' advice and take a break...

Bottom line, I'm sorry.

Cheers

Thank you for developing such a great product. I have not had any major operational issues other than the already noted keypad opportunity.

Kernal: 2.6.35.7-I897UCKK4-CORNv706

UCS: 1.4.3

I am experiencing an opportunity that when someone calls I have to press the power button to display UCS and then select Answer.

Thanks again for a great product.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I noticed that when I use either the back button or the swipe method to bring up the default dialer, I have to wait a couple of seconds before doing it - or it jumps back to the UCS screen.

So either you have to do it twice, or wait a couple of seconds before doing it. Not a big deal, just thought I would mention it.

I will continue to mess around with it and see what else I can find for you. I may have a suggestion in regard to the customizing of themes however let me explore the theme options fully first

thanks

---------- Post added at 11:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:45 AM ----------

OK, I played around with the Themes real quick, here's what I came up with

I want to be able to see the phone# when it's an unknown caller, but not when it's someone I know.

I don't see anywhere that I can theme "unknown caller", so the only way I can accomplish what I want is to use the "transparency" theme on my known contacts. Problem with that is, then you can't see the answer or decline buttons.

There's two solutions I can think of. A new theme, that makes everything transparent except the answer and decline buttons (easier solution) OR

create the ability to customize every aspect of the unknown caller profile (I am assuming more coding needed for this solution, though it may make for a more robust app)

Thoughts?

thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
This has been on my wishlist in previous posts. I am sure it will come....hopefully.

But... I have 2 themes on market that may help you. Have not posted the 2nd one here yet. But search jsmccabe78 UCS on market and you'll find them.

[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Mine too, I also believe that in the future we should hopefully see the creation of separate theme layouts for KNOWN (in contacts) and UNKNOWN callers.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Thanks, however I would like to have it where the answer and decline buttons look the same as the default ones, or something more elegant. Yours have a custom font and different look altogether, kind of a reduced image quality IMO. I'm a big HD freak, hence using this app in tghe first place.. kind of defeats the purpose if the buttons look low res

However I'm sure some will appreciate it, thanks anyway.

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Well,

1- you didn't have to uninstall anything. You just had to uncheck the first option on UCS, the one stating "Activate UCS" in big bold letters.

2- if you are saying that pressing back button, opening the dialpad from your default phone interface and punching numbers (just as its said on the app description and on the "tips and tricks" menu inside the app) it's not working, then I have something to fix.

There was a problem on v1.4.2 with the dialpad from the swipe up, that's why I removed it on 1.4.3. Please clarify if you are using an older version, or if this simply a case of misreading the instructions.

Reaper v2.2.2

Android 2.3.7

Kernel 2.6.35.14-Reaper-V1.3...

I've got the media volume box showing up and which is more relevant - the decline button does not work at all.

This has nothing to do with UCS and I don't know if this is a (known) bug in either Reaper or CM7 but during a call I'm not able to reduce the volume. I have to reduce it (say: 3 times - nothing happens) then I have to increase it 1 time and the lower volume is set (-3 + 1 = -2 ;)). Maybe this has something to do with the volume box showing up???
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Volume Box thinguy

Hey guys,

The volume bos appearing on answering calls is a known issue. If fact it's due to a workaround needed for particular cases. I'll try to restrict that workaround to those roms that actually need it, and save other people the bother.

As for people having issues with the decline button on Reaper, all I can say is that I am running UCS on Reaper for the last weeks with no issue, all tests are actually done there.

This could be because of the default (old) version that comes with Reaper V2.2.2, maybe it as not correctly uninstalled. I know that sistem-wise, there's nothing in Reaper capable of preventing UCS from working.

Hi there and thanks for the great app !

Just an idea for a simple option : Allow users to choose the position of contact infos on incoming call screen.

Because my stupid phone is displaying Google's groups contact over the contact name when I receive a call, so that I can't see it ! It do that even with the stock apps, and I was hoping to get a workaround for this with your app ! Unfortunately, my ROM keeps displaying it over your app. What's why I am dreaming of such an option ! :)

Just for info, my phone is a Sharp 102SH with stock Android 2.3.5 ROM (The only one possible in fact as it can't be permanently rooted :().

Great application. Just trying it out.

But i notice that, like with all similar applications, there always appears for a very small time the stock Call Screen when making or answering a call.

Will there be a Root Version to prevent this behavior? I think a root version is the only way to prevent this behavior completely.
