Does anyone know if you can substitute an animation for a picture on the incoming call screen?
[Android Apps and Games] Hekademos:
I searched the thread and couldnt find an answer to this.

Is there a way to set all contacts to default as their facebook pic?

I can bear to do it individually
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
UCS uses pictures for the call screen. If you asking about using videos instead of pictures, currently it is not supported. Not to say it won't be available in the near future...

The problem with that is that UCS needs to know which Facebook profile belongs to your Phone contact. There is no 100% logical connection in native android, so you have to match them yourself.

UCS does make it easier by trying to filter the most possible Facebook friends, but you still have to confirm that it is correct. For Licensed users there is the "I Feel Lucky" option on the Facebook tab of UCS. This function goes through all your phone contacts and uses a conservative algorithm to try auto-matching. When it finishes it presents you with a list of all contacts that wants to link to facebook, and lets you tap on the wrong ones to remove. The resulting ones are automatically set to use the facebook pictures as default.

As a case study, that option for me correctly links 96 out of 123 possible phone contacts to the facebook profiles.

One problem I notice that the time stamp on the SMS screen, when the app catches a message, does not use the 24-hour format when the phone's 24-hour format is selected. It displays AM and PM time format. Or the setting is there but I miss it?
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I would flip if you could implement it. That's a whole 'nother level!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Stay tuned... ;)

One issue i'm having is after installing the latest version of GoSMS (updated May 14th) with GoSMS installed ultimate call screen can't capture SMS messages. :(
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
That app is overly aggressive to others. So, open GoSMS, get into it's settings, and:

Uncheck Basic->enable popup window

Uncheck*Basic -> New message notification

Uncheck Advanced-> Receive Settings -> Disable other message notification

That should take care of your issues...
[Android Apps and Games] bsbharath1987:
Awesome app, just what I was looking for. For me, It would be perfect if this replaces the dialer totally :D Any plans of including a dialer screen into this?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I played around with the notion, and I plan to eventually. But not on a near future. Anything I could add now would be half baked to say the least.

There are still a lot of things in my development roadmap for UCS before I go down that road.

REALLY GOOD! keep up the good work :p
[Android Apps and Games] Yovee:
Hey lowveld,

I'm using UCS with your pro license on my Nexus 4 running ParanoidAndroid. I'm unable to get the speakerphone working through UCS. When I click the button, audio is still coming from it's normal source. I need to swipe back and click the speakerphone on the default call window to get the speakerphone working. Any ideas? My apologies if you've already answered this question.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey! No, haven't heard of that before. But I also have a N4, so hopefully I'll be able to check out the issue.

But I can tell you already its working properly under CM10.1.

I'll get back to you tomorrow, have to get some sleep now.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] warwagon19792:
That fixed it. AWESOME! Thanks! Didn't know about that setting!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
You wouldn't believe the grief I get from GoSMS users. Also Handcent causes issues to other apps, including UCS.

So, anyone using these apps and wanting UCS to work properly with SMS, get in touch with me. It's possible to configure them to work, and play nice with others (as they should)...

Cheers

Hey Lowveld,

I installed version 9.5.1 on the HTC DX (JB). I can not receive calls using the call interface of your apk. When I use back button this will allow me to access all standard function and everything is correct. Please help me.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
If you mean the answer function is not working, that is a Sense JB issue. I wrote a post about it 1 or 2 pages back on this thread.

Basically you have to use the root workaround for answer with your current ROM. If you switch to a non-Sense ROM, everything is fine.
[Android Apps and Games] xsara:
O'K, thanks. You propose "root workaround for answer" for now .But what about in the case no root. Are you going to solve this problem in the near future?
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
my understanding as lowveld just said is that he needs the root workaround to avoid an inherent issue which currently exists with sense JB ROMs.
[Android Apps and Games] Toxmax:
Nice, this will come in handy!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Ben is correct. Currently there is no way to answer the calls in Sense ROMs on Jelly Bean. I know exactly what the issue is, and can't find a "legal" way around it, hence the root workaround.

I've been aware of the issue since September, even before any Sense JB ROM existed. As soon as the JB AOSP source code was available, I immediately noticed the conflict with HTC.

At a ROM level, I can fix it. I mean, I can hack the rom to allow UCS to work properly. At an app level, there simply is no way. The conflicting Sense framework feature is not accessible to outside apps. I tried everything I could think off (and learned a lot in the process), but to my knowledge it can't be done.

Also, the problem is of course not exclusive to UCS. There isn't a single app out there capable of accepting calls on these ROMs.

Sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] poopsicles:
it might be easier to implement animated gif instead of a video. Google+ app has rudimentary gif implementation.. just a suggestion. that would definitely make this an easy purchase for most skeptics (my self included)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Actually Video ID is already implemented and working fine for me, but I only tested on my phone. I need to give it a go on my backup device for compatibility tests, and also tie up some loose ends.

I'll post a beta version here when ready, should take a couple of days more.

Just notixed an error

There is time counter on the call screen. But it counts only when screen is on, when I take a phone to ear and screen goes off, the couter stops.

Or is it just on my phone?

9.6.0 beta-0: Video ID

Ok guys,

I'm posting a beta version here for anyone interested in giving the new features a go. It hasn't been extensively tested apart from on my phone, so if you notice any strange behavior, let me know as soon as possible.

This version implements something that a lot of people have asked me to do: Video ID. Although at the beginning I didn't really understood why you wanted it, I must admit once I got to coding and using it, it is fun. :)

Changelog:

- Fullscreen Video ID capability added

- Configure contacts to use a personalized video as caller ID

- Choose from 3 fullscreen video modes: fit, stretch, or zoom and crop

- Use sound from video ID as ringtone, or keep the normal ringtone

- Define default Video IDs for known and unknown contacts separately (LICENSED)
​

Some notes and explanations on how to use:

- on the main UCS settings tab, there is now a "Video ID Settings" option. Here you can define how the videos display within 3 options:

1. "Zoom and Crop to fullscreen" zooms the video without distorting the aspect ration, and crops the minimum enough so it occupies all the screen. The video is centered, so the part in the middle will show

2. "Stretch to fullscreen". This simply stretches or shrinks height and width of the video until it is full screen, This distorts the original video.

3. "Fit Video". This fits the entire video, non distorting, on the screen. It puts black borders on whatever sides the original video does not fit

On the "Video ID Settings" option you can also choose if when a incoming call comes in, you want to use wither the video sound or whatever ringtone you are currently using. On outgoing calls the video sound is always muted so as not to interfere with the call, and on incoming calls the video gets muted when you answer the call.

Inside Call Settings, tap the "Default Pictures and Videos" option to set default videos for known and unknown contacts. You can choose to toggle between picture and video defaults for either contact type. This feature is for Licensed users only.

To assign video IDs to contacts, use the UCS Contact Manager. Tap the picture and there is now another button "Video ID", that takes you to whatever app you want to choose the video. Back in the detailed contact view, you can still toggle between the several types of contact IDs, and Video ID was added.

And I think that's it. It is still work in progress, but I think it's already quite nice!

Hello, just recently started to use the block caller functionality to screen those annoying sales numbers.

Slight issue though is that once I have a number blocked and configured when they ring again the ringer still sounds for a very short time before the call is silently rejected. So it's working but unfortunately not quickly enough. So I get the first notes of the ring tone then it's blocked and shows as rejected in the call history.

Any thoughts
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I try to intercept the calls as soon as possible, but it seems it still is not fast enough in your case. Let me run some tests on my side and see if something could be delaying it, and if I can speed it up somehow.

Shouldn't you be biting your nails waiting for the big moment already?

There is also the root of my phone. Giving authority to the implementation of the UCS manager but still not answer the call.

I wrote about that issue you told me about three times on the last three pages of this thread. Please take look into those posts. I looked at issues. I'm sorry but I could not.

I did as you said, has authorized the application root, the phone rings, the other party hang up when I fall decline. When I say the answer, the phone starts to count seconds like answered. turn on the phone continues to ring.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
That could be a problem with your superuser binary. Please make sure that:

- Update SuperUser, or SuperSU, or whatever thing you use

- Inside that app, please make sure to update the su binary

There are some versions around with a bug in it... I just tested the workaround on mine, and it's working fine.

Bluetooth problem

Works great but interferes with my Bluetooth. The phone connects in the car but calls don't go through the car speaker. I have to talk through the phone. Interestingly I was on the phone walking to my car, started the car, and it switched over to Bluetooth without any problem. But when I hung up and tried to dial another number it reverted back to me having to pick up the phone to talk even though I could see the phone connected on the dash display. Any thoughts on this?

Version 9.6.0 released

Ok guys,

Just released version 9.6.0 to Google Play, and it is already available for download/upgrade. This version is pretty much all about the new main feature, and new options that came with it: Video ID.

Changelog:

- Fullscreen Video ID capability added

- Configure contacts to use a personalized video as caller ID

- Choose from 3 fullscreen video modes: fit, stretch, or zoom and crop, personalizable per contact

- Use sound from video ID as ringtone, or keep the normal ringtone, personalizable per contact

- Define default Video IDs for known and unknown contacts separately (LICENSED)​

Regarding the latest beta I posted here, somethings changed: video type and ringtone override are now personalizable per contact. It made sense, because if you will want to hear the video sound as ringtone will surely highly depend on the video. These new options are available on the Contact detailed view, after you tap a contact on UCS COntact Manager.

I also added a video section to the defaults menu. Here you can define default Video IDs for known and unknow callers, together with it's video mode and ringtone override. But beware these new default options are only for licensed users.

I hope you enjoy!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
excellent app, however few issues

1. crashes often, dont know why.

2. it takes a while to open it after i recieve a call, the stock dialer stays up for a few seconds(usually end up picking the call with stock)

3. am also not able to get the circular theme that you have on the screenshot, sort of the holo locker thing.

any suggestions will be great
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The circular thing is not a theme, its the Ring Picker interface. In UCS you can use all interfaces (buttons, rotary, HUD, ...) Independent of the theme.

Take a look into Call screen Interface on UCS settings.
[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
i do not see an option to choose/select the interface, any suggestion ?

Also when i try to pick a call, it dsnt allow me to, after a few seconds it says USC has stopped working and then i get the stock dialer.

i have v5.1.0
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
V5.1.0????? That's way too old, I can't help you with that... Please upgrade to latest, 9.6.0, there's been so many bugfixes and new features since V5.x.x!
[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
dang !! thanks a lot, now i feel like an idiot, givint it a try right away, btw, i hope i can upgrade from 5.1.0 to 9.6 w/o any issues
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Yes, no problem in upgrading from old versions.

By the way, please share your thoughts on what you think of the new version. It will be interesting hearing from someone jumping from such a old version instead of doing smaller steps!
[Android Apps and Games] arnabasu:
the new interface is great, just love it, the random crashes no longer appear, excellent job. the locked screen alerts are amazing, and yes i got teh ring thingy, thats what i was looking for.

few queries thou

1. the timer starts from the time the number has been dialed and not when the call has been recieved, so the durations do not match.

2. the stock dialer always shows up for a few seconds before the UCSHD screen comes up.

3. image sync isnt complete, i mean i wanted to choose the FB profile pics for anybody on my contact list, but i think i am doing something wrong, will keep playing with it.

overall, a lot better than what i was using. keep up the good work.

facebook contacts missing

Hi there,

I just stumbled upon this app last night and played around with it long enough to be convinced to check out the licensed features. It's a pretty useful app with a lot of configuration, just how I like it.

The one thing that doesnt seem to work for me is the facebook synch. I initially synched my account and then went through the list to link some contacts manually. I encountered that a couple of my contacts don't even show up in the synched list. Resynched a couple of times, reinstalled the app,....nothing seems to help. I am using the official facebook app.

Somebody noticed the same behavior? Is there already a solution for this?

Cheers,

Chris
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

Do you mean the Facebook friend list is not showing some of your friends? If so, that's a first... That list comes directly from Facebook itself, but I'll check if some API of theirs has changed.

But notice that when you link a contact in UCS, the first list of Facebook friends is the "suggested list", not all contacts are shown. There's a button on the dialog to show all facebook friends if none of the suggestions are good.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] morle4ever:
Hi,

Yes, I am talking about full Facebook friend list, not the suggested list. It is just a handful of contacts that are missing and they don't even have unusual names or characters...

Thx
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
This application is great. Many settings to customize it to your preferences. Working great on Xperia ION with ICS 4.0.4 One thing though... I am trying over and over to reproduce the look of the call screen in the play store page, the one in the right side with the dog with the green and red buttons with a space area between them. The buttons are flat, there is a background block and it looks great. The problem is that when i try to reproduce it on the app itself with the default theme the buttons have this gradation and are not flat. I have searched through the available themes but nothing. Is there a theme that i haven't noticed (and i tried the bigthumbs theme, which stacks side by side the buttons without space), or do you plan on releasing a theme like this? As far as i can tell is just a change in the png files for the buttons.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey! That was the very first look of UCS, 1 year ago and when it didn't even support themes. :) It didn't last long, and I changed the buttons and layout to what you get now by default.

I'll try to dig up the original png files and layout, and build a theme with it!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] andreaspe:
That's gonna be simply GREAT! Thank you so much! For me that look is the best out of all. Simple clean and minimal and that space really makes the difference. I suppose its not gonna be much of a trouble to put it together! Im gonna stay posted!
[Android Apps and Games] Varelka:
Guys, hi all!!! Where can I obtain file with saved current configuration? Must replace device and wanna know, where is my config is... Thank you!!!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Use the backup/restore function, on 1st tab of UCS settings. Copying files around won't do what you want, because when changing phones the databases will change, and all contacts links will be messed up.

How to use existing low-res contact pics

Hi everyone,

This is truly a great app, but so far I've been unable to instruct the app to use the existing low-resolution picture for those phonebook contacts how already have one. Do I have to associate for each contact a different high-resolution picture through UCS HD?

Also, can someone explain what the sync function does? I'm afraid to try it out and accidentally messing up my phonebook contacts if I don't know how it works.

Thanks a lot!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

To use the existing low-resolution picture for those phonebook contacts how already have one, you must have the License installed. Then just go to the Plugins tab, tap the "Phonebook Pictures Plugin", and turn that option there.

As for the sync functions, they export whatever picture you have set in UCS to the phone contact in android. Some users have reported issues with the standalone syncer, but no issue was ever reported with the "normal" individual sync. To try it out, pic a contact in UCS contact manager, give it a HD picture, tap the picture agaim, and tap "Export to android". If you open your contacts app, that contact now uses the same picture as UCS.

The "SYnc as you go" option automatically does that each time you assign a picture to a contact in UCS, and it's the easiest way to keep everything in sync.

Cheers

V9.7.0-beta-5

Ok guys,

I'm always working on the next UCS version, and when there are any major features I try to release early versions here, so here's the current build! But first, let me explain a bit one of the new features:

- I kept receiving complaints that the SMS thing was not good enough, that you only could use it when receiving a SMS, and you could only see the last one

The last part was not correct, but most people never notice that you can set up gestures to swipe to older SMS. Nevertheless, the other complaints were valid enough (and the swipe thing could be more obvious, I admit). So I decided to tackle it. And went over the top.

Changelog:

- Added SMS Browser: fast view of all SMS, tap to go fullscreen, accessible directly from your phone app drawer

- SMS Browser supports threaded mode (tap options to set it). When in thread mode, fullscreen viewer cycles through thread only

- Re-designed fullscreen SMS viewer to use HUD interface, added next and previous SMS buttons, and also a "callback" function

- Re-designed app icons, and some in-app graphics

- Fixed crash if user removed video from phone and it was being used by UCS

- Fixed issue with multiple calls

- Performance improvements

- Minor bugfixes
​

I started with a simple shortcut to access the latest sms. Then decided It would be nice to choose which one you wanted to see first. Then though it would be nice to be able to go through conversations only. Then etc etc. When I stopped coding, I was approaching a full blown SMS app and stopped.

Anyway, I hope you like it. Please do try it, and give me some feedback! The browser has its own icon on the app drawer, it is not accessible from the "normal" UCS settings. If you tap the options menu, you can switch to threaded mode, and you can set your own picture (important in threaded mode to separate your SMS from the others).

I also changed the app icons. Any feedback on that is also more than welcome, as I'm "artistically challenged" :).

New Icons:

9.7.0-beta5 Download Link: removed, stable release already on Google Play

Enjoy!

P.S. To the usual suspects: there are a few new strings, but not many. I'll be sending out the xml files when I'm sure I won't add anything else!
[Android Apps and Games] luk.zaleckas:
Looks very cool, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:

[Android Apps and Games] luk.zaleckas:
