Version 7.2.0 out

Ok guys,

I just updated Google Play with version 7.2.0, which means it should be available on your phones for update in a couple of hours.

This update introduces something I've been long working on: my own implementation of the ICS-like MultiWave widget (AKA the Ring lockscreen). To make it compatible with everything from android 2.1 and up, I had to basically implement everything myself, here's a screenshot:

Note that with this interface you have direct access to "mute ringer" and "decline with SMS" options, previously only available with swipe actions turned on. For new installations, this will be the default interface.

I also added an option to change Callscreen Interfaces right on the Main settings, including a on-the-fly preview of the current one. SOme people missed the option that you could change between rotary-tab-buttons.

Changelog:

- Added new Ring Picker call interface, with direct access to "mute ringer" and "decline with SMS" functions

- Added "Main Call Interface" option to Main Settings, with visual preview of the current choice

- Updated theming engine to support the new Ring Picker, updated all Elegance themes to also theme it

- Added option to reset the default pictures for known/unknown contacts to the original UCS defaults​

Enjoy!

Cheers

P.S. There are some new strings for the new Callscreen menu, so if the usual (great) translators could lend a hand, it would be great!

P.P.P.S. I also updated all Elegance themes to also theme the new Ring interface

I ask you to make a debug version of the log of the error!
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
like the app . downloaded the latest version from google play. but for me it first shows the stock dialer for few secs and then goes into this full screen call screen. What's the solution for this ? I'm on ICS 4.0.3 , all stock, SGS2.

Help ?
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
No solution that's how Android and UCS work!
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
unfortunately, happens to us all, this 'feature' is explained at length already in this thread.

@lowveld

Maybe a good idea to move your previous detailed explanation of above to #2.

I'm also still getting failures of the backup, it ends in seconds producing an output file which is too small for it to have worked correctly, but I don't get any error.

Suspect that it's as a result of my contacts but cant diagnose what..

Any chance when you have some time of another backup debug version...?

[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
Another query !

I'm still ok with the first stock then UCS, but is there a way to modify an existing theme. I mean what I'm trying to say is change the behavior of the buttons between single click to slider to long press ? I really hate the sliding tab interface look, something I want is a Push button look but the buttons working as slider ( left and right ). Possible ?

kudos to the app :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Xabiman:
Hi! All problems have gone installing Facebook app. Sorry, I didnt know it was necesary for running UCS. Thank you very much!
[Android Apps and Games] hauntedhunter:
1. when you dial someone, shouldn't the call timer start from the moment the call connects ? is there a fix planned for this or it can't be ?

2. any feedback on the ability to tweak the button's behavior ?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I know what the error is, a "out of memory" when opening the bitmap. I can try building a workaround version just for you, but I won't release it publicly, as it will reduce picture quality when cropping the pictures...

Yep, I'll dig it up and move the explanation to one of the first posts. Not that I expect anyone will read it anyway... :)

As for the backup/restore thing, I'll take a look into it again. I'm obviously missing some border condition...

Well, it actually shouldn't be necessary. But the Facebook APIs provided by Facebook themselves are a bit on the shi*** side, and it's them causing the problem, as they expect to find the app on the system. When they don't find, they should work anyway with web authentication, but that's not working for everyone...

The start time on outgoing calls is a long standing issue. At first I did it like that on purpose, because it's the way my land line phone works. When useres complained, I tried to change it and realized I couldn't.

Like the explanation on "why the standard android interface comes up first", there are limitations preventing me of detecting when the call is picked up on the other side, I can only detect when the call actually starts: on incoming, it's when you pick up the call, on outgoing, it's when you dial the number. All the other very useful phone events are only available to system apps... And I don't mean you can move UCS to /system and it will work, it must be signed with the platform vendor encryption key.

Regarding your app

Hi,

I am Dr Krishna,I would like to bring to your kind notice that y'day i installed your Ultimate Screen Caller ID through google play(lite version). The application is Awesome,i liked it very much & I thought of purchasing it. But i have certain issues regarding it. Like when an call comes to my mobile,first the default dialler screen pop-ups & it takes nearly 6-7 seconds to get your Ultimate Screen Caller ID. This irritates me a lot. So I request you to kindly give me the solution regarding this. If really this problem is fixed, definately I am going to purchase the product.

Thanking you,

Regards,

Dr Krishna

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Anyone having issues with FCs on saving pictures, or on any other operation, can someone please capture a logcat of it happening and send it to me?

I will do everything I can to fix any compatibility issue, but not having the problematic devices, I rely on users to provide the debug information.

Apparently Motorola devices are the black sheep of the bunch. After three 1 star reviews on market, I just blocked the Bionic. Anyone wanting to genuinely help instead of bashing me without giving me a chance to do something, post here or just PM me.

Hey Lowveld, guess what? Your UCS made it to the XDA Portal page. Congratulations man!!!

Here's an excerpt : "Do you wear glasses? Is your vision not as good as it could be? Do you like seeing huge pictures of your friends so you are reminded of what they look like when they call? Do you have “friends” who use iPhones and brag about their awesome answer screen? Well, XDA Senior Member lowveld has a solution for you..."

I have the Razr MAXX and I was attempting to DL this in the market and it states my device is not compatible. I would love to try out this app, even test for you. You can pm of you would like the help. I used to test when I had a bb. I have the XDA app so I hope I would get the message if you do decide to contact me. I'm extremely interested in trying this app out.

V 1.2.2 is out

Hey guys,

This is mainly to try and fix the issues some people are reporting. I'm getting bashed in the market reviews, not even given time to actually try to fix whatever it is.

The issue is most probably low VM heap size for certain devices. I tried some workarounds, and got UCS to work with as low as 24Mb heap size. This is what V1.2.2 is about, no new features.

Changelog V1.2.2:

- Tried a workaround for devices with low VM Heap values: most of the issues reported are due to this. FCs on saving pictures should stop now, if you have at least 24Mb of heap size!​

Again, I'm getting bashed without a chance. I doubt there are many developers out there capable of answering this sort of issue in 4 hours, so give me a break.

If you like what you are getting, please rate accordingly on market, or this app will soon fall into oblivion.

Cheers

P.S. With the fix, I unlocked the RAZRR and Bionic, so users of that, please report back if it's working now.

I love when people groan it doesn't work then don't want to help fix it. XD
[Android Apps and Games] PoedelPCS:
This app sounds promising. Using a custom r0m on my sony xperia mini pro but still having the default call screen this might be something for me.

Currently I am using smart answer call to handle my incoming calls. As my hands are not always clean when working I like the feature to accept a call by just moving the phone to my ear and let proximity sensor accept the call. This is what SAC besides some other features does. But the developer wanted to integrate more features that make the fone behave strange in certain combinations of feature activations. Though I was in good contact with the dev and even translated it to German I got no feedback anymore and the developement seems to be stuck.

So I do not know, if you lowveld, want to integrate some of these feautures into your app.

My favourites:

* Accept call by proximity sensor

* Loudspeaker by turning on the back - instead of screen down as your app does

or Loudspeaker handled by proximity: at ear internatl, away external

* Hang up call by flipping screen down

SAC currently even hangs up when ph0ne at my ear. App should request proximity as well

I hope I forgot none *G*

I'll keep an eye on it, mate :D

The Licensed version let's you use whatever you have on your phone contact list, and scales them to fullscreen. Meaning that if your photos are low quality, it won't look good.

Hey Martin,

What rom are you running nowadays? You're the first Desire S I heard off with problems. Can you capture a logcat of the FC and send it to me? As I actually own a DS I can install whatever you have and try to reproduce it.

[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
unfortunately google doesn't do us any favors here as even if you load high quality images through your phone into your google contacts, when then upload to google they lose quality, so next time your wipe and sync your phone you get poor image quality back.

I found this out the painful way - when it was too late, so this app is a saviour, allows you to load, store and use quality images throughout!

Great App (and a little "but")

First thank you for a really nice app, it's exactly what I was looking for.

A little downside was the price. I like to support developers of good apps, but seeing that the price has changed from 1,99 € to 3,99 € (which was the price I payed yesterday) made me feel a little bit fooled.

But then again, I don't know how much time and effort you've already put into this, so I guess the higher price is much more adequate. And in my opinion, people should get payed well for good work, so I hope you get a fair amount of money from this :). Thanx again and keep up the nice work :good:.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi there,

First, thanks a lot for buying! But let me explain the pricing of the UCS license, as I definitely don't want anyone to feel fooled...

Historically, on the first 2 months since release, UCS was 2,99€. At that point, UCS didn't have nearly all the functions it has today. Things like Facebook syncing, internal syncing, full theming, prefix call blocink, weren't implemented at that time.

I then increased the price of the license to 3,99€, to also reflect the time I put into it. You are right, I spent and spend a lot of time making UCS what it is today, and I am constantly improving it. Incidentally, 3,99€ was the price that "competition" apps were charging, with way less features and not (in my own biased opinion) nearly as good as UCS.

Now to what got you confused, and feeling fooled: Back in August, UCS reached 200.000 installations. That was a big deal for me, I hadn't expected that level of success. So I put UCS license on temporary sale with 50% off, and users that installed the current-at-the-time UCS version were warned of this: if you buy the license now, it's only 1,99€. There wasn't a end date to the sale, but when I felt it was going on for a good amount of time (it lasted a month), I changed back the price to the original. I also released a new UCS version were the Sale warning was out, so as not to confuse new users.

So I'm guessing you had that particular version installed, and when you went to buy, the price was higher. It's been like that for almost 2 months now...

I'm sorry if I confused you, but I do think that for what it does, and taking a look at the alternatives, UCS license is priced very very nicely...

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Jagutherrschaften:
Thank you for your detailed answer. Don't worry, maybe "fooled" was not the best word to express what I wanted to say. "Confused" would have been better.

I am absolutely satisfied with your app and it's really worth every cent, I don't regret buying it :D.

Greetings mate.

Been a bit. Need to update my themes!

finally am getting back into things. Your application is fantastic but switched to a Samsung SG3 and some changes:

1- ucs always open though I wish it not to on unknown callers. Thought I marked this correctly. Thoughts?

2- the screen sensor doesnt work with ucs so when I talk the screen is on wasting battery but I hit things with my cheek. I keep hanging up on folks! Ideas?

Also..something I mentioned a while back...anyway to get #s to read (###)###-#### and not #######?

V7.3.3 Is out

Hey guys,

I just released V7.3.3, and realized I missed announcing v7.3.2 here. Here's the changelog for this version:

Changelog

- Fixed issue with proximity sensor not turning off screen during call (SGS3 and possibly other phones)

- Fixed wrong call duration indication on some devices

- Fixed possible issues with unknown phone callers causing rare crashes

- Fixed layout issue on SMS. SMS now adjusts to the presence or not of buttons.

- Added configurable font size for calls/SMS​

The main thing here is fixing the screen off/on due to the proximity sensor, which was not working for some devices, particularly the SGS3. I'd like to thank jsmccabe78 and Alexis Carballo for test-driving my attempts at solving the issue. I really couldn't possibly have fixed it without their help (and SGS3s :)).

As a by-product, I'm confident I also solved the wrong call time some people were experiencing (at least on outgoing calls).

Also, due to popular demand, I added the possibility to change font size for the callscreen (name, number and buttons) and for the SMS sceren (SMS body text only, the rest looked weird and would mess up the layout). And speaking about the layout, also fixed the sms overlaying the buttons, which was introduced on last version but I hadn't noticed it.

Hope you enjoy!

Cheers

P.S. About the fonts, for now it's only the size, but I'm considering more customization possibilities for future versions.

In any case, please make the effort to write in English. I only speak 2 languages, and Russian is not one of them...

But back to the problem: you are suffering from "out of memory" issues when assigning pictures, which is a problem I am aware off, but cannot reproduce myself. Do you want to help out testing stuff to solve the issue?

Hello.

With the last 2 updates and the ability to change font size has made my theme's fonts seem massive... and not fitting. Is on the smallest size in the UCS settings. Best way to fix? Changing my theme?

Also with latest addition screen sensor not working - stays on with entire call.

Cheers.

J
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey,

Don't change the themes, I obviously screwed up somewhere, let me check first.

As for the sensor thing, last update tried to identify Samsung users and turn off the workaround for all others. Maybe I failed to identify yours, and also turned it off. Can you check in the Workarounds menu if the option is checked, and check it if needed?

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
the worksarounds was key; sorry i missed it - screen is working great.

will take apart your themes and compare to mine; need to update anyways.

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Still my bad that I turned the workaround off for you...

As for the font size, I think I figured out the issue, and I'll try to fix it tonight. Meanwhile a workaround is to specify a default font size on the theme. You can use one of the Elegance theme as reference while I don't update the theming guide.
