I'm unfortunately stuck with the stock Motorola launcher (anything else causes way too much slowdown), so I'm on stock android 4.1.2 rooted. I'm just looking for a function like with the Poweramp pro key, to just hide it upon reboot or something. Thanks a ton.

Theme change

Hi,

Silly question maybe, but could you please explain how to apply themes downloaded from Google Play? When I choose another theme but Default, and apply it only buttons change but not the default picture with the bench!

I have a Galaxy Note 2.

Thanks in advance!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Regarding the SMS, UCS is failing to interpret the email address as a phone number, which is actually correct. Even if I parsed the caller ID as a email adress, currently the "reply" functions either send an SMS or call back the number, which wouldn't work for a email address anyway. Let me think abou this some more...

The outgoing call notification sounds good, I'll look into adding it on next version. Thanks!

I'll have to look into that brightness change setting. It does sound good, and it could actually be easy. Or not.. I'll give it a go, and thanks for the suggestion!

This request pops up once in a while. Usually I answer just what Ben did: use your launcher. But I understand that it could actually be usefull, specially if I decide to add an extrra laucnher (I kin of miss the direct shortcut to the contact manager). To be honest, I don't know how to do it, but I'll investigate, it could be handy...

The default pictures are not part of the themes. Go to the "Appearance" tab in UCS, and tap the last option, "Default Pictures and Videos". There you cand change the defaults for known and unknown contacts separately. This allows you far more leeway than making them part of the themes.

And I just came back from vacations last week. I updated to 10.0.4 with only very minor performance tweaks, but I'm ready to start on new features implementation. As always, any suggestions are welcome!

Cheers

Hi

I've been using Fullscren Caller ID for some years now, but I find it too laggy..

I'm still trying out Ultimate Call. But there's one option I didn't see: is it possible to choose a picture from the contact's facebook gallery ?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Yes, such a function is included. You can sync your FB contact pictures...

help screen timeout

i love this caller id but the screen display stays on all th time when on a call

i would appreciate if someone could help me thanks :)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
If you mean that the screen does not turn off when you put the phone to your hear, please go to the Workarounds menu. There's an option there "Override proximity sensor" that should be on by default, please try turning it off.

[Android Apps and Games] gerald_s:
Thank you very much for paying attention to my suggestion AND implementing it already. It works perfect on my HTC One.

There's a feature in the settings which is closing UCS after answering a call. It goes back to the standard caller app, Maybe this helps.

Hey! I haven't had time to put up the usual "release notice" here in XDA, it was 3 A.M. when I published V10.1.0 and I just wanted to crawl to bed.

V10.1.0 released

Ok guys,

Last night I published UCS V10.1.0. This time it contains 2 user requests: changing phone brightness to maximum (and then back) when on a call, and a dedicated setting in the call blocker to block private numbers (those calls where the number is hidden, usually salesmen or similarly annoying people).

Changelog:

- Added option to block calls with hidden numbers

- Added option to force screen full brightness on calls (find it on "Call Settings"->"Callscreen Interface"). Option is On by default, and brightness is restored when call ends.​

There are some other things I'm working on, but they may take a while, so I published what was ready.

Enjoy!

P.S. I can't stress this enough: many UCS features are direct requests from users. If you would like something, let me know, I always take a serious look at it!
[Android Apps and Games] Varelka:
Pracuję nad tym!!! Working hard on it.:p
[Android Apps and Games] yohappy:
Gerald I have seen that option too but I like the caller I'd interface not the default one that's why I paid for this one.

I hope Lowveld can be done soon

Hello,

I am using your applications. Before I tried also some other apps for Full screen calling, but I like your the most. Although I still have some questions:

-I am experiencing some delay when I answer call. When my phone is ringing (HD photo of caller is displayed), I press button to answer the phone, also counter is activated, but I can hear caller after few seconds. What is the reasong. I am using Xperia Ray with ICS with custom rom Xperia Ultimate HD

-Is it possible to use UCS only for contacts that have photo associated. I found setting that UCS is not used for unknown numbers, but what about those contacts that do not have photo?

Regards

Feature required - any font definition

Hi. I have long been looking for just such a solution - a caller ID application with full screen contact picture,

but most important the bigger font for caller name and number. It's because the original font is too small

and I wear glasses. But even setting the biggest font in UCS settings it is still too small for me.

Can you please enable setting of any font installed on the device with any possible font size?

Generally speaking UCS is a great application on my Galaxy Note, a must have application.

Thanks a lot for your hard work.:)

V10.1.1 released

Hey guys,

Just updated UCS to V10.1.1 in Google Play. It's a minor revision, containing some small changes that each by themselves did not justify bothering all users with an upgrade, but now altogether I consider it worthy.

Changelog:

- Fixed issue with overriding colors in SMS themes

- Updated French translation (Thanks Loic!)

- Performance improvements​

The major stuff is still in the oven. :)

First, I love this app an it's fantastic. Thank you for creating a great product!

Second, I would love a template that has black SMS/contact text. I know that I can override the template, but I would like the template itself to have black SMS/contact text. I've searched high and low, but haven't found any templates like this. Am I able to create my own? If so, how?

Lastly,

The SMS background: It displays the fool length of the phone (up to the button block). Is it possible for this to be displayed ONLY the length of the SMS message? That way the background will only display behind text, not the entire length of the screen.

Thanks!

Hello

I'd like to ask about an issue I have with your caller id software. I installed it, tried and tested it. Unfortunately I notice a big issue which prevents me from using it. The problem is I that I can not answer the call. When I pull the middle dot to the earphone Icon screen changes to the one with two red earphones (which is the scrren that appears after you answer the call). Unfortunately I noticed the call is not answered. The callers phone still rings.

Do you have a solution for this?

Thank you for your answer and regards,

Caller ID problem

I had the same problem on my HTC ONE X. the only solution I found is to root the device. After rooting the device use the root solution provided with the settings of the application.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

Both the problem with HTC and the solution are spot on, thanks for explaining liorsol1!

The problem with HTC devices appears on stock Roms with android equal or above 4.1, and there is nothing I can do about it. The only option for now is the root workaround on UCS workarounds menu.

Of course that if I could, I would fix it...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] jankoinmetka:
First thank you for your answer, second, sorry to here nothing is posiible to do in this case. I found your dialler very usefull with the options it has. I have problems now with Android 4.3 on HTC ONE and Sense 5 since HTC switched from famous ring to regular 2 buttons or slide caller. In the last mont since I have ONE (before I had ONE X with 4.1 and Sense 4+) I have problems with answering calls and incidental unlocks. Before I did not have any. Now I need to be careful with how I grasp the phone because the slide way of answering can answer the call when I don't want.

Also 2 buttons answering does the same. Previous ring theme asked for specific movement which could not happen coincidently. I could have phone in the pocket or take it in my hand any way and I could not accept call or unlock the phone. Same is with your caller. Theme with four sides and dot in the middle prevents coincidental answering/unlocking. That why I like it very much. I checked some other callers and are not as good as yours which has also many options.

So, it wuld be good to do something in the future to overcome HTC Sense. I'm sure many HTC users are now very unsatisfied with the Sense 5 and would be glad to have othr option.

I'm not a developer, but somehow I can not understand that nothing can be done (or maybe I don't want to accept it) which sadness me.

However, keep up the good work and further improve your great caller and wish you to make one for the HTC.

UCS V10.2.0 released

Hey guys,

I just updated UCS to version 10.2.0 in Google Play. This version is a major overhaul in aesthetics, switching to a light theme (please let me know what you think of the new look).

Also, there are some fixes of old issues that went unnoticed, and a major fix for all 4.4 KitKat compatibility: VideoID was not working at all, at least for newly assigned contacts.

Changelog:

- Updated UI to new light look

- Fixed VideoID for android 4.4 devices

- Missed Call Screen no longer deletes calls from Call Log

- Fixed minor issues in SMS theming

- Performance improvements​

Again, please let me know what you think of the new look, I went for a clean and modern look (yes, I'm converted to white).

Cheers!

[Android Apps and Games] jeanluc1701@hotmail.com:
Same for me, choice is the better option
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I hear you... :)

To be honest, my idea was to make it configurable but I gave up halfway due to technical difficulties. Anyway, as all the feedback as been for the Dark UI, I'll either succeed in making it configurable, or I'll revert the all app to Dark. I'll get on it as soon as I can, it could take a couple of days before I either succeed or give up.

And thank you all for the feedback guys!
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
It's really bad that there is no general value in Android SDK for something like ' UI_color=light ' or ' UI_color=dark ' for easy switching :p
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Actuality it sort of exists, but it's overcomplicated and it doesn't work properly to boot.

It's impossible to change theme app-wide on the fly, you have to do it activity-based. So if you don't think this stuff up before you start coding anything at all, you're screwed.

But the good news is that I made a lot of progress yesterday night, I'm confident on a very short term update.

UCS V10.2.1 released

Ok guys,

I just updated Google Play with UCS version 10.2.1. I finally managed to build UCS with a solid themable UI, so we now can choose between the Dark and Light UI on the fly (although apparently only I want the light one :) ).

The new option is under the "Appearance" tab, right at the bottom, and acts as a switch: you just tap it to go back and forth between the themes. The default UI on install is Dark.

I hope you enjoy, it was harder than I imagined at first, but also rewarding when it all came together.

Cheers!

P.S. As always, Google Play should take a couple of hours until the update is available on your phones
[Android Apps and Games] gregy1403:
Sorry for not reading all these pages .. i just wonder if we can have a caller FB status displayed over caller picture?

Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Sorry, not at the moment. But I did play around with the notion, it didn't seem to hard. Only major drawbacks are giving the info while keeping the interface clean, and having the users re-authirize UCS in Facebook with increased permissions.

Also, it could mean dropping support for android 2.1 (yes, it's supported at the moment).

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Hello, must come clean (in thread).

Two things, firstly, I've changed my mind and have now switched to light themes, as I agree I prefer a consistent UI theme across the phone and light does now match the look taken Google across their applications, the only dark exception being the settings screens, but that's quite a clean functional spilt.

Secondly, I'm afraid to say I've stopped using your full screen call display as I'm happy with the cataclysm standard stock look (in all honesty I rarely use the phone to make calls anyway). I'm really loving the clean functional stock look and feel.

I'm still using all the picture syncing facilities of the application as they're very helpful and will continue to.

I'll probably switch back again in the future and will watch for further updates with interest.

Cheers Ben.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey Ben,

Well, I kind of guessed that when the first thing you commented on when I sent you the first Light beta was the setup wizard, which only pops up in new installs :)

I understand your "decision", you have been using UCS for almost 2 years now, something new is always tempting at the very least.

But apart from the call screen per se, UCS will certainly be useful for setting the pictures for other apps. Don't forget to set Sync as You Go on, so everything gets exported automatically, and also set the crop aspect ratio to square, it will look better in stock interfaces.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
I hadn't actually decided at that point just simply hadn't had the opportunity to re setup UCS on the new device. ;)

Bug for me.

Good day.

Mr. lowveld

Thank You for a brilliant app.

A little bug for me. If i try to make preview of known/unknown contact, i'm getting stuck on incoming call screen preview . I can press buttons ( and can see they bean pressed), but can't get read of that preview screen. Even if power key pressed. But if an incoming call happened, i can answer or drop it ordinary.

This bug may occur during incoming call too. But no so frequently.

MK16i. [ROM][Arc/ArcS/Pro][2.3.7] Gin2KitKat v3.0.0 [OTA][MultiBoot-Aware] UCS 10.2.1 licensed.

Actually it may be Gin2KitKat ROM related.

I saw some similar bug reports on 4PDA with 2.3.7

Thank You.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey man,

During preview all the interface buttons are disabled on purpose. The way to get out of preview is simply pressing the phone "back" button, not the power one. Have you tried this?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] jankoinmetka:

I was hoping with this update your software will start working on the HTC. Unfortunately not. I'm still hoping...

For shure.

But my MK16i has not any onscreen button, only hard button, and it is not work. Not even "home" key.

P.S. i start using your UCS from v.8
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Well, that is weird. I assume the back button is working on other apps? Please tell me more details about your UCS configuration, such as which interface you are using and etc. Are you able to back out of UCS during a regular call, is the problem limited to the preview?

On the next update I'll make pressing any onscreen UCS button exit preview mode, just in case.

UCS V10.3.0 released

Hey guys,

Just updated UCS to V10.3.0 on Google Play. This one introduces something that I have looking to do (in a safe way) for long: contact manager is now a standalone tab on UCS settings. I also optimized the way the list is created, plus added some visual feedback of the current contact status.

There were a couple of bugfixes also: one user noted that when setting a default video ID for known contacts, it would be used even if the contact was personalized, it is now fixed. There were also some low-impact issues I gathered from crash reports in Google Play, mainly due to some KitKat code migration that did not play well with older devices. And my favourite: when using the Dark UI, the facebook friends popups had white text on white background, making them very hard to use.

Changelog:

- Contact manager now has its own tab on Settings, including Fast Scroll and visual status indicators

- More efficient contact lists

- Fixed issue with default Video ID for known contacts showing even if contact was personalized

- Fixed visibility issues on Facebook lists when using Dark UI​

Enjoy!

Thanx!!!
[Android Apps and Games] jazee:
I just installed after trying many Caller ID and Call Block programs. I like this one best but am not able to figure out the following (still using basic.)

- How do you access the Call Blocker Blacklist to add/remove numbers? I can't find the function anywhere? Can you easily select numbers from call log to add?

- The slider allows you to accept, reject, mute, or message the caller. What about adding the current caller to the blocked caller blacklist? How?

Thanks!

Exit to Home Screen

When a call ends and the app exits it brings up the last used app even if I was done using that app and had gone back to the home screen. I can't find the option in the settings to change where you get directed after the app closes. I think there is a setting to go to last app, home screen, screen you were previously on, etc. I want it to go back to the screen that I was last on. Anyone know how to change that?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
That behavior is intentional. The idea is that the user is always able to back out to the stock dialer, to access functions that ucs cannot provide, such as the in-call dial pad.

To add people to the block list, use the contact manager. Tap the contact you want, and just choose the option. Also take a look into the dedicated call blocker options, where you can define if the list is black or white, choose to block unknown or private numbers, etc.

This being said, the call blocker part of the app is long overdue for a overhaul, and I will be working on it soon...

That behavior has nothing to do with the app, and I can guarantee you there is no such option available on the app. What you are experiencing can be due to either the ROM or the launcher you are using... The activity stack (which are the open apps at the moment, and defines what to show when a app closes) is generally not something that any app messes with (even if it wanted to), so I'm inclined to blame it on the ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] voondabar:
Thank you for your reply. That makes sense although I cannot for the life of me figure out what would be causing it. It seems like I have seen the setting somewhere though. I have a Nexus 5 on the Stock ROM using Nova Launcher, EX dialer, and UCS but can't find it in any settings including the Nova Launcher and System Settings. Any idea where the option would be?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
No, and I have almost the exact same setup as you, apart from running Catalyst instead of stock, and I use the stock dialer.

I did notice that sometimes when backing out from a app, I briefly see another one that should be on the background, but it gets closed almost immediately. I always blamed it on Nova, as I'm running a beta version...
