Hello,

Busy, yes, lazy, never. But I did take my time to make sure what I was dealing with before making any pointless announcements.

Unfortunately FB completely changed not only the API (which I did fix in no time) but also fundamentally changed what kind of info external apps can get to. As of May, the only info *any* Facebook connected app can get, is from friends of yours that are using that same app already.

If you think about how UCS works, this renders Facebook useless. How many of your friends already use UCS? Those are the ones UCS can get the picture off. I did spend a lot of time trying to work around this, hence the silence. Unfortunately it is not possible, and I will be removing the functionality completely in an upcoming update.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
That is FB. A lot of devs removed the sync feature from their apps becouse of that...

I paid for this app when I got Samsung Galaxy Note 2. It's work well till now. And then I get Samsung Galaxy Note4 (N910C) with Lollipop rom. Then the app won't work anymore with all stock rom or custom rom. So I uninstall it and watting for the new update. Hope it will solve the problem.

I am using the paid version for years now and it Always worked well on my galaxy S2, but since I own a LG G3 I have an issue with the contact manager.

When i select a photo from my gallery and add it to a contact all seems well, but after a few hours the default picture is back. Reinstalled, and tried a few other things but nothing helps...
[Android Apps and Games] AndrOmega:
yes this is happening to me

but the developer lost interest in this app....:(

Call contact pictures keep disappearing.

Hi.

I'm getting frustrated.

I've not had problems with UCS previously, but it is giving them now.

Fresh install onto a new phone, a Galaxy S6 running Android 5.1.1.

After spending time setting UCS up, it loses the vast majority of contact pics. A restore puts them back, but once I've closed the app, they disappear. I have done several restores, but it loses them all.

I've put in contact pictures from scratch several times, done a back-up of them, but they disappear, leaving my chosen default picture.

Is this something that is known to you or is it something new?

I love the app, but it's not working as it should.

Thank you for your time,
[Android Apps and Games] mariconjo:
This is exactly the problem more people seem to have, and the most frustrating is that the developer doesn't answer to e-mails or posts so far.
[Android Apps and Games] TazR6:
Thank you

For the reply.

I will keep my fingers crossed then, but will not hold my breath.

[Android Apps and Games] mariconjo:
Still trying to find out what the problem is with UCS. I noticed that all my contacts with a mobile number loose the attached photo. All contacts with a normal number (=not a mobile) like 'home' or 'work' keep the chosen photo. Very strange!
[Android Apps and Games] shudron:
It does not work. Why?

I can't answer incoming calls on Lenovo A536. Only decline calls.

I have a license from play market but no result.

Other phones (Motorola, ZTE, Philips) use it without problems.
[Android Apps and Games] wdevil10:
Hi again, just wondering if you can sort a problem for tapas os phone? My problem is still the same, can't identify incoming call. So, every incoming call will be just shown as unknown caller. Apart from that, everything works just fine. No problem with outgoing call, the contacts and picture shown correctly. Only for the incoming call that has a problem. I think UCS can't read contact from stock contact. Can you please solve the problem? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] mariconjo:
I had to uninstall UCS completly because if I get an incoming call the Phone does not play the ringtone! I tried everything but nothing helped. Now I uninstalled UCS and everything is fine again.

Hola, tengo un problema con la app Ultimate Caller ID Screen HD. La tengo instalada desde hace más de un año, con licencia, pero empezó a presentar problemas con la sincronización de contactos de facebook (dejó de sincronizar tanto los contactos como las fotos). La desinstalé y la volví a instalar para ver si resolvía el problema, y ahora resulta que no sincroniza directamente NINGUN contacto. ¿Cómo resuelvo este problema? Gracias.

Ultimate Caller ID Screen HD

Hello, I LOVE your app, great job.

I'm trying to do something similar but I have issues on android version 5 and up with the accept button...

any suggestions?
[Android Apps and Games] Wywern.pl:
Did you tested backup/restore within the app?

For me its not working properly. Every time after restore I get wrong photos assigned to other contacts then they was before backup
[Android Apps and Games] TazR6:
I gave up on it months ago.

It had potential to be brilliant, but the Dev seems to have lost interest in it.

It is a shame, as I loved it when it worked.

Video Calling

I just got my wife a Samsung S7 and I bought the Note 7. Both are running Marshmallow 6.01. One of the options when you call someone is Video Calling from the contact screen. (its a green camera) This is similar to Skype but built into the dialer.

What I want to do, is when a Video call comes in, it automatically reverts back to the stock dialer so I can accept the video call. Is that possible?

My work around is to do use the back button, but that is only if I know a video call is coming in.. which right now UCS does not show that.

Am I missing something here?

---------- Post added at 02:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:26 PM ----------

Facebook:

I am on a new Note 7 running 6.01.

When I go to Facebook, I see the Ultimate Call Screen HD listed under Apps. On my Note 7, I enabled all permissions for the App.

I have Facebook Android version installed and it seem to be working.

I have HD picture assigned to about 30 of my contacts. I want to keep those.

But I want the rest of the pictures populated with as high quality Facebook pics as I can.

On UCS, I clicked "Sync Friends List Now!" and it appears like it ran.

I went to Setting, Contact list, and I will click people I know i have on Facebook and it keeps going to the default UCS HD pic. It never finds any Facebook pics.

What am I doing wrong here?

How come, on my HTC10 running Android 7, when I answer an incoming call the buttons changes to Hangup but the caller is not connected and the phone keeps ringing.

Nice guide. Is the template provided in the guide the 'Default Theme'? If not, is there any chance of providing a copy of it as an alternative (base) theme to use? I'm looking to convert/make it a light(er) theme.

buttonblock_height greater then 100 dpi

Hi,

I’m trying to build an custom template. Is there a possibility to set the buttonblock_height greater then 100 dpi. If I set cidblock_height to 200 dpi, it works, but not for the buttonblock_height. The reason is, that I want to set the answer and reject button height to 200 dpi.

Is there maybe any solution to do this? It is for old persons, to make it easier for them to answer phone calls on android.

Thanks for any solution.

ChristophKi

Both, the buttonblock and the cidblock are set to 200 in the integers.xml

But as you can see, the buttonblock is smaller than the cidblock.

I think the development stopped...
[Android Apps and Games] christophKi:
It has already been discussed that the app on android 5 and above no longer works.

It was also written about the fact that the facebook api has changed and therefore the facebook synchronization is no longer supported.

I suppose life goes on and things change BUT ...

It would be nice if there was some indication of lack of development or support on the Play Store page, ESPECIALLY on the purchase page of the Pro key, no?

According to the Play Store there was an update made available not that long ago (although I don't know what it entailed) however the "cannot answer calls" complaints seem to be going on for quite some time now.

Something seemingly unfair about that, don't you agree?
[Android Apps and Games] avatar1961:
Wish I would have found this thread before I paid for the app! Only app I've found that ALMOST works. I'm sure he would have gotten the rest working if he would not have given up on the project. Kinda pissed that I paid for an app that is not supported though.
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
a glitch:

CM7 rom.

When lockscreen is on UCS does not show. It will once I unlock but seems to defeat the purpose; seems UCS only works as intended if unlocked.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Working fine here. Do you have a security unlock feature enabled? Like pattern unlocking or such? That could cause issues with other windows getting above the key lock.

Cheers

P.S. Just fixed the fullscreen issues that some people were having (the status bar overlaying), update coming in a very short time.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
V 1.2.4 is out

This one addresses some stuff you were asking. It also fixes the "status bar on fullscreen issue". No workarounds needed, should work fine everywhere.

Changelog:

1.2.4:

- fixed the issue where some people would get the status bar cover part of the caller name. There should be no fullscreen issues now.

- When you press back on Contact Manager or Theme Manager, you will now go back to UCS Preferences (would exit UCS before)

- Remember position on contact list: when you exit a detailed contact view, the list will start from that contact, not from the beginning. (yes, was annoying)

- Press visual feedback on UCS buttons (change color when pressed)
​

Enjoy!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
You're a nonstop machine lowveld! Take a break :)

I still have the same issues though, it takes about 5-6 seconds now for UCS to pop up, the calls even have time to get connected.

And the hangup button doesn't work at all.

I'm on Reaper :)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
still haven't gotten an answer regarding the few second lag until the picture shows up. Also, after updating to 1.2.4 I am getting a FC almost every 2nd contact picture I try to update.

"Unfortunately, the process com.lowveld.ucs has stopped"

Running Hydrogen 10.04 ICS
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi,

As for the default screen showing up before UCS, I can do nothing about it. Here's what I already replied to a similar request on this thread:

- Unfortunately there's no way I could remove the default phone app, at least with an apk with no root privileges. Also what I would have to do would wildly vary from device to device, so I could never release it on market. There are lots of other reasons I wouldn't do that even if I could (some of the stuff the it does I cannot reproduce due to post-2.3 restrictions). But I could play around with that on a particular ROM, such as, let's say, Reaper.

The time that UCS takes to show depends on the broadcast sent by the system letting now that there is a call. That is highly rom-dependent, can't do anything about it.

About your FCs: It was working fine on V1.2.3? I didn't touch that part of the code on this update. Also, can you capture a logcat of the crash and send it to me? It's the only way I can actually help, or else I'm blind here...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
thanks for the quick reply. I was getting the FC on 1.2.3 as well.

In regards to capturing a logcat, sorry but I'm a complete noob and have no idea how to do that.. :(
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Just install this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xtralogic.android.logcollector&feature=related_apps

After a crash, open the app. It will capture the log, and you can choose to email it to me.

This is a great app, very simple to use, and I highly recommend everyone with issues to do the same so I can help you!

You can use the email I have for contact on UCS google play page.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
installed the app, but when I open it after a crash and send myself a log by mail, this is all that comes up..

Let me know how it goes!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
problem is def on my end.. I can't get any logs created from this software as well. Maybe it has to do with the speedmod kernel..
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Well, then apps are out of the question. There's the old school way: installing the android sdk, connecting a usb cable and capturing the log on a terminal. That will work for sure, but is way too advanced if you have no prior knowledge of the stuff.

Thanks for trying to help though! Maybe someone with the same problem will be able to send me the log...

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Hello,

Now, you might find this an odd request, but is there any chance you could up load the original buttons that came with the original version of the application before you themed them - possibly make it another theme - called boring_default :D as I think that I like them the most - you can never account for taste!

There the ones used in your latest publicity shoots! ;)

Thanks Ben
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
:D

You got it mate. You're the last person I would thought of asking for this. The new ones are straight from Endy... ;)

Cheers

P.S. I'll create a theme for you, and I'll PM you for testing. You wanted no transparency beneath buttons can caller ID, right? Just black or fully transparent?
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Ahhh, you remembered...:D

Yep, total transparency at both the top and bottom would be ideal for me! After all you don't really need to see the name or number as ultimately you have a full screen picture of the caller!?

You may want to consider including not showing name and number (along with the top transparency) as separately configurable options from within the preferences?
[Android Apps and Games] mikosss:

Great work, bro!
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
Hey lowveld, it's me again! :)

This is my current status with UCS!

* I uninstalled and reinstalled and now UCS pops up much faster, on outgoing calls that is! On incoming calls the delay is still 5-6 seconds, I'm not using any pin code or other locks, just wanted you to know.

* I don't know if you replied or not regarding the hangup button not working

When i press it there's no vibration, but i can see that the buttons is beeing pressed as is changes color.

* On outgoing calls the hangup button is visible when I'm in a call (as it should be)

but in incoming calls after I've answered the Answer and Decline buttons are still there during the call.

Just a little report, let me know if there's anything i can do (I've installed Alogcat now :)

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate, sorry for not answering you sooner... I haven't forgotten you, and as I'm also running reaper, we'll get to the bottom of it.

Just playing with my son now, I'll get back to you later...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] DJKristof:
Hello

Is there an other app to sync facebook pics? I'm using the CM 7.2 ROM so I guess HaxSync doesnt work here.

Also, isnt it nice to create sliding buttons to answer or reject? And maybe with an option to turn them on or off in the configurationlist.

Just an idea :p.

Nice work btw!
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
No worries man! Just play with your son, this can totally wait! I spent the evening myself with my son after I got home, that's quality time!
[Android Apps and Games] philosophics:
So what are your thoughts on putting everything in a pull down menu and leaving the call screen with the clean look it has as is?

Loud speaker, mute, hold, Bluetooth, etc. above a full dial pad instead of an option to show dial pad, it's already there in the pull down menu...
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
I used syncmypix just before changing to this application, you should find it on google

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
now i like the idea of that full multi option pull down menu, but why would you want half of the screen covered with a key pad? surely that would be absolutely pointless on a full screen caller display application?

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[Android Apps and Games] e2zippo:
It's a good idea, keep the screen clean, and put the other stuff in a drop-down or drop-up menu.
[Android Apps and Games] Tectas:
The dropdown also sounds good to me, but remember, the app is still not far from it's initial release, additional features will come, but which i guess lowveld even doesn't know yet, let him take his time to get into it, as i know him as a developer, he don't want to provide half baked solutions.

Use the back button, if you need something additional meanwhile.

But what i don't get, why you want a dialpad, this is a callscreen no dialer.

The only somehow similar feature that makes sense to me, would be a contacts shortcut, but the dialpad i can't understand, Sry.

Edit: Now i got why you want i dialpad, service lines, sry that i forgot about it before :)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey guys,

All suggestions are valid, but I do agree that a dialpad is a bit overboard. Another thing to consider is what can and cannot be done

- in android 2.3 a LOT of restrictions were made to TelephonyManager class when hacked from a non-system apk.

This is why similar apps simply stopped working and could not even pick up a call. So I have to see what is actually possible.

Another thing is that UCS is 10 days old on the wild. Agreed it took a lot longer to develop the initial release, but when it did come out, I had almost as much trouble fixing compatibility issues. Now it all seems to be coming along, but there are still some issues (people complaining about random crashes cropping pictures, seems SGS2 related). So I will keep adding stuff, but for now the main driver is making what we have work for everybody.

Cheers

--- edit ---

Plus I want to get FTL V3.0.0 out this weekend the latest. I'm all excited about it :)
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
Played more today and realize that for me it takes 3-4 rings before picking showing up. No special key lock. So did try with Go locker and same thing. Any ideas?

And sorry you're getting panned. People have not idea the work one puts in. Always amazes me when a product is free that people are so quick to judge. Off to vote for what it's worth...
[Android Apps and Games] mapheG2:
Would be way cooler if this app can import the FB profile pictures and not lose any of the quality. NOW THAT WOULD BE SUPER COOL.
[Android Apps and Games] bobs79:
Cool

The facebook idea would be good, with the option to update them, as people change the FB pictures all the time : )
[Android Apps and Games] Andy3105:
I tried to use Syncmypix for this and it didn't work, works great elsewhere but not here, any thoughts on getting a sync function into the app Lowveld?

---------- Post added at 10:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 AM ----------

Never mind, sorted it out now, I echo the remarks above about importing and upscaling etc...
[Android Apps and Games] The.Dark.God:
Just wanted to mention I really appreciate the work that went in to fixing the Motorola compatibility issue and how responsive you've been to the community in general. I bought the license and am using the app full time now, it's awesome!

I'm hoping to see some more themes made up for it, and access to some of the standard dialer functions somehow, but since other people have mentioned those things I'm sure down the road we'll see some cool stuff. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
speaking of themes... if there is interest I can explain how I made mine. Anyone want a tut?

Cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Don't want to make themes, as I don't have time neither knowledge, but I would suggest a Sony UI theme and a stock ICS theme.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

Never did get around to explaining how to do it, but you caught up fast enough. :)

Next UCS version you'll also be able to theme the text color, probably the text font, and I'm still looking into theming the positioning of the elements (that could be trickier).

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] AlkaDragos:
Nice piece of work. Works fine on my Galaxy Mini ICS 4.0.4. Setting pictures works fine, same as app main functions. Sometimes it takes more than 1, 2 seconds that the call screen to show up, but i think that depends on device and it's specific settings, CPU frequency, number of applications running and others...Anyway it's a nice application and i would like to see this finished including most of the basic functions like dialpad and a mute/speaker button(better design :-D heh) and maybe a simple timer would be nice. Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
i know i said this about ten posts ago, but why would you want a dial pad? This isn't meant to be a dialer replacement, besides there is no way (IMO) that anyone will manage to beat the sense dialer for functionality and looks. Besides why would you want a dial pad blocking half the screen, when this is meant to be a full screen call application?

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[Android Apps and Games] Felimenta97:
Man, you misunderstood EVERYTHING... The dialer is for, for example, companie calls. Don't know on other countries, but in Brazil, when we call to a Company Service Center, everything is divided on categories and sub-categories, and we have to press a few numbers on dialer to choose which categories we want. And it don't need to take half screen, it would be a slider (bottom to top, or top to botton) or some few buttons, so then we actually see the dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Easy there with the caps mate...

What's wrong with pressing "back" while on UCS and press the dial pad button on your standard phone interface? It's exactly the same number of steps, and a truckload less of trouble for me. Just saying...

Cheers
