Funny, I am actually running the Play Store version. I thought you had pushed the most recent update already lol

I am still having zero issues so far. I've been sending extra texts/making extra calls just to see if it will eventually mess up.. nope, works perfectly. Tried rebooting to see if that made anything happen, nope.. works just fine.

Yeah the share feature is sweet, I am loving that.

I will keep you posted. I'm going to buy this on my wife's phone this weekend when I have time to set her up. She's running a Galaxy S2 on CM10 so I will see how things go with that and report back.

I am on stock 4.1.1 btw.. rooted and debloated via Titanium as I cannot stand the crapware T-Mobile and Samsung load on their phones

Re: [APP][2.1+][10 JAN 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

Yes, the Google play current version is top notch, and the result of months of improvements and bug fixes.

That's why I'm taking so long with this new version. A complete break with so many aspects that the potential for screwing up is big.

Can you try running the latest apk I posted and tell me what you think?

Is there a way of accessing the dial pad for outgoing calls? When I try to call a number with an automated receptionist I can't choose any of the options currently.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
You have to press the back button to bring up the stock interface.

It's impossible for me to provide a dialpad capable of injecting audio into the call, which is what you need to use automated systems.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] pickarooney:
Ah, thanks, that should work. :)

What is included in the new version that I am not getting in the Play Store version?

I will try the new version on my wife's GS2 this weekend, I don't want to start from scratch on my phone if something goes awry (I just returned to stock 4.1.1 from CM10 and have done a bunch of hacks to get my phone "perfect")

But I will surely try the new version on her phone for you and report back. If anything does not work properly I will run a logcat for you as well
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The changelog I posted with the apk says pretty much everything. You can install over what you have, you won't loose anything. Plus, you can always revert back to V8.1.1 without loosing anything also.

Mainly the difference is in speed, more theme customization options, a re-arrangement of some options, new reply with sms templates, and a a lot of bugfixes.

Here's the current build: removed, updated on post #964

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
When you say I can revert back, are you referring to making a backup in Titanium or is there another way to revert back within the app itself?

I can of course revert back with Titanium, just sometimes things don't always completely "fix" (left over data on SD, who knows..) I suppose I can run a nandroid real quick just in case and revert back that way. Just takes a little longer

I will install it in a few, just got to work and need to do a few things first. Give me about 30 minutes
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
No, I really mean you just have to install 8.1.1 over the PR4 version again, all data is kept. But take a nandroid just in case, UCS is completelly "nandroid safe" as long as you are restoring to the same phone and ROM installation (don't do it across roms, even if it's the same but a different installation).

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
When I run nandroids I back/restore up the entire phone, so no worries. Just finished, downloading and installing now.

---------- Post added at 08:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

first thing I noticed was that big, red call timer right in the middle of the screen.. eww

I disabled that. Would like to be able to have the call timer, but perhaps at the very bottom or top of the screen, no idea why it would be right in the middle of the caller's picture.

Not a big deal to me, as I really have no need for a timer (unlimited everything..) but for those that want to use it, I can't imagine they would want it right in the middle of the caller's picture. Placement doesn't make sense to me

Also the red is unattractive IMO. White should be an option maybe?

Still testing, hang tight.
[Android Apps and Games] dip1991:
does it works with 2.3.6?because in my micromax a50 none of caller app work.
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
install it and test it out!

lowveld - here's how I have mine set up

Transparent theme, swipe right to accept call, swipe left to reject. Picture to stay active during call

So basically all I see is the picture, nothing else (that's how I like it..)

When I accepted the call (which, btw, UCS showed INSTANTLY when my phone rang, perfect) I was then able to hang up by swiping left.. works great

Waiting on some people to text me back to test that, will advise.

So far it looks flawless. Still exploring the menus
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The timer was already there on V8.1.1, and unless I made a serious mistake, it was on the same place (maybe I was defaulting it to off, but if so, it was an error).

But with this version, you can go into the Theme tab, and simply override the color of the timer, the caller name and the caller number (new features). Also, you can simply turn off the timer on Call Settings -> Callscreen Interface.

I have some micromax users, but I have no idea if it will work for you. Why don't you just try it out?
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Also - like the new unknown default much better than the previous. I still opt to use my own custom one that I design (I change them periodically) but I wanted to give you kudos on the new one. It's nice. Here's the one I use right now (only because I didn't have time to create a nicer one yesterday)
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
I think the difference is, in the new version the timer defaults to "on". I never even knew there was one before, it must be "off" by default in the market version.

But the placement is still odd to me. Why would anyone want to cover up the HD photo with a time right in the middle? To each their own I guess.

Cool to know you can change the color, that's a plus. Can you adjust transparency? Transparency and location adjustment options would make the timer awesome IMO. If I could have a timer that looked almost like a watermark and I could choose location I might use it. Otherwise it just interferes with the beauty of UCS for me..

---------- Post added at 08:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:53 AM ----------

One other thing I did notice, and this was true for the market version as well, when I 'dismiss' the text message it does not remove the notification from my status bar. Not a big deal really, just something I wanted to mention. I don't know if this is because I use a pattern lock and that prevents UCS from dismissing the message entirely, or it is a limitation of the app itself.

Other than that, text seems to be working fine. Continuing with testing..
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
The timer is where it is because it's supposed to have the caller name and number above it. But I'll have a look into the layout to see if it would be easy to auto adjust the position if the user is hiding the rest.

Anyway, even if I do this, it won't work with the transparent theme. BUT, you can achieve the same result by going into the theme tab, and hide all the stuff you don't want to see (timer, mute and mic button must be hidden in Call Settings -> CallScreen interface).

No promises though.

What *should* be possible is for me to add an alpha channel to the color customization options, so you can have the semi-transparent timer (and name/number).

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Re: [APP][2.1+][10 JAN 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

Not necessary for me, just some thoughts. Honestly I like everything the way it is. Alpha channel yes, position not so important if I can make it more transparent. But these are minor things, not necessarily worth all the coding lol. The app is fantastic as is.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Ok, current status:

- If you hide the entire CID block, the call timer will be auto-moved to the top

- All color options now have a alpha slider

This is it for adjustments. It's an official lock down until release . :)

Cheers, and thank you all guys for the input!
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Sweet. Let me know if you need anything else specific to be tested

Re: [APP][2.1+][10 JAN 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

I wasn't using the share function. I went into the UCS contacts, chose a contact, touched the picture, chose Quickpic, chose picture, got FC. Repeated same procedure (however I was still within the app after the force close), worked.

---------- Post added at 02:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 PM ----------

Also, one request you *may* want to consider for future updates:

The ability to specify 'default' contact pictures for unknown callers for both incoming and outgoing

I mean, I want to be able to see something entirely different when I am making an outgoing call to an unknown number.. not the same picture I use for incoming unkown calls

Let me know if that makes sense
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I still can't reproduce it, but can you be more specific about when it crashes?

1- when you press the pic in the gallery

2- when you rotate it or something like that

3- when you press the save button

My guess is number 3, as it is the sensitive spot.

As for different defaults for incoming and outgoing, it's trivial from a technical point of view, but it would make the configuration a bit confusing. But I'm open to suggestions!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
It's when I touch the picture in Quickpic, never makes it to the part where you can select "save"

unfortunately, the process com.lowveld.ucs has stopped

I either hit back button or click "ok" on the FC message, then I am back in the UCS contacts screen. Select the same contact, the same picture, no issue.

I am only able to reproduce this once every 10 times or so, I don't understand why.

I did notice that one time it happened, I accidentally hit the "select from camera" first, back button, then "select from gallery" and got the FC when choosing the pic in Quickpic. However, I have not been able to reproduce that again despite several attempts.

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:14 PM ----------

I am thinking that perhaps some time has to go by in between attempts to reproduce it. I'm not sure, this is just theory, but it seems that if the UCS contacts is still active in Android memory the problem does not persist. After some time goes by, it appears I am able to reproduce the issue.

Let me continue to test this theory
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
That got me stumped. Any chance of a logcat?
[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
Let me reproduce it again, and then I will run one for you and email it.

*edit* still unable to reproduce. I'm sure I will be able to at some point, once I do I will capture the log and send it

UCS V9.0.0-PR8 Final?

Ok guys,

Find attached the current, and I hope last, build. Regarding the issues reported with rare FCs when assigning pictures, I went at it from all sides, and I think I reduced the chance (if not eradicated it) from it to happen.

This version also has (even more) speed improvements, but at this point it may not even be noticeable. The callscreen is pretty much instant on my phone.

I also fixed an issue where in the standalone syncer, if you chose to manually crop Facebook pics after downloading them, UCS wouldn't allow it. This bug was introduced in version V8.1.0, but apparently it's not a widely used feature, as no one reported it.

Another important and long standing issue solved: there was a possibility of wrongly identifying who was calling if you had multiple contacts with the EXACT same name. Although far fetched, it could cause problems (think call blocker). That is also solved now.

So, here's the apk:

---EDIT--- Removed apk, final version is out (finally)

Please, by all means, flood me with feedback. I don't think I can do much more for this version, everything is as optimized as it gets, and all my tests went OK. But as it is such a big update, I'm still reluctant to release it without confirmation from older device owners.

Plus I will be out of the country on work next week, and I don't want to be in a position of not being able to fix any issues appearing after release.

Cheers, and thanks to all for the support!

Hey ho, just switched Roms and noticed a minor graphical bug at the setup wizard.

The last swipe actions is hidden below the next and previous buttons (but still clickable [no I can't scroll down further]).

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Aaaaaaand.... V9.0.0 out on Google Play

Ok guys,

I realized the way I was handling this, I would take ages releasing (if) the update. Plus, apart from the speed and architecture improvements, the feedback from you guys made me detect and fix issues that are actually on the V8.1.1 version.

So I could release V9, or start fixing stuff on the old V8.1.1 code and update it to 8.2.0, as knowing there are fixable bugs and doing nothing is never really an option for me. I decided to take the bullet, gave one final round of testing (V9 passed with flying colors), and release the build on Google Play some 10 minutes ago.

The released version is not exactly what I posted before, because I did give my paranoia some breeding space: this version is prepared to also be compiled with the old architecture if something bad happens.

So, the changelog:

- Drastic performance improvement on caller ID display: should be almost instant

- Re-organized existing call settings for more logical configuration

- Optional override of theme colors for name, number and call time (I hear you...)

- Removed possibility of custom separate themes for unknown contacts. There is only one default theme for everyone

- Still possible to define per-contact themes, still possible to personalize theme differently for known and unknown contacts

- Added option to use up to 3 SMS templates for "Reject With SMS" function, with internal sending from UCS

- Fixed issue where in some phones the ringing would stop

- Improved real-time contact matching on call-related functions

- Several performance optimizations

- Several rare-bugs fixes​

The update should take a couple of hours to be generally available on Google Play.

Thanks to everyone who contributed, from here and directly by email. These have been some hectic weeks, but I think the result was worth it.

Cheers, and enjoy!

I'm in bloody Internet hell on a hotel in Spain. I won't be very active (if active at all) in these circumstances until I get home on the weekend.

I don't think you will have many issues with the current version, at least from my experience.

UCS

Hello there

New poster here :)

I just bought the UCS licence, and i´m having quite some troubles regarding the facebook pics sync. Everytime i try to associate a contact to his FB picture , pops up a messa saying i must sync the list through the FB integration menu. I do that ( only the first option is available) and then nothing happens...

My Phone is an Alcatel OneTouch 995

Sorry for the English, but it´s not my native language :)

[Android Apps and Games] ingenious247:
You can assign Facebook photos with a much easier method:

Simply go into your FB app, find the picture you want, and "share" it to UCS then pick your contact. Done!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Re: [APP][2.1+][10 JAN 2013] Ultimate Call Screen HD [HD Caller ID/Call Blocker/Senso

Also Facebook did some changes today. When l logged in from my phone, it locked my account until I answered some security stuff.

The reason was apparently I was logging in from a new device, thing is, of course I had used this device before.

I advise everyone logging into Facebook through the official app and check that the account is OK.

Note that this has nothing to do with ucs per se.

Cheers

P.S. also, madmak, please make sure you are not using some weird 3rd party Facebook app to save bandwidth. There was a case some time ago that was caused by it: if you have a Facebook app, it must provide the authorization screen UCS needs when you use it the first time. Please try installing the official Facebook app, and let me know how it goes.

Is it possible to active UCS only for some contact (and not for the rest)?

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Not currently, but I'm open to suggestions... Again, as in some other suggestions, it's technically simple to implement, but it will add yet more confusing options to the end user....

Thanks for that.

In fact, it would be great if I could deactivate (by default) UCS when I use the voicemail. Easier to use the keypad and to keep the loudspeaker on. When I phone the voicemail, if I activate the loudspeaker through UCS and I press back the use the keypad, the loudspeaker is not on anymore.

I hope I'm clear enough to understand.

[Android Apps and Games] jsmccabe78:
how great! very nicely done, mate.

small bug that i haven't seen mentioned - when i give someone a new pic, it all works great, but when scrolling in the theme manager it does not change. now when i click on the contact, it shows the new pic, but just not with scrolling. just shows the default. not the end of the world, but something though you should know.

also, as mentioned previously would love to go back to the part of the alphabet i left after editing a contact.

an awesome addition, but unsure how hard/ realistic it would be - have a dialpad button feature. would be sweet.

off to buy the full version. you have any problems taking apart a theme of yours to make my own?
