I've thought about it. A simple implementation (as in just leaving the last call screen showing with indication the call was not picked up) would be simple enough, I think.

But I have some ideas about the feature I want to try out in order to make it more useful. But it will have to wait though, currently I can't spend the long hours needed for this...

When I have something I'll share with you guys. And don't hesitate do offer more suggestions! I will consider everything!

Current requests on the table:

- make UCS work with dual sim phones. The problem here is that android does not natively support it, implementation is vendor specific, and I probably need to debug a real device for this, bla bla bla

- keep SMS screen showing after replying to a SMS. This is very easy, but I'm thinking on a general overhaul of the SMS features, so I kept it on hold. May hit the next update anyway, as it is really a single line of code.

- hide your number selectively. I have to think about this one, both implementation wise, and in terms of usability.

SMS screen works fine I think, the screen missed calls for you is not a problem Thank you for your attention!

last name first

Hi,

Firstly, thanks for the nice app :good:

I want to report this feature "Last name first" working quite not right, when "Firstname" field of contact has more than 1 word.

For example,

I have a contact with 1 word in "Lastname" (LN) and 2 in "Firstname" (FN1 and FN2). When I'm calling him, with "Last name first" option enabled, I expect to see sequence LN FN1 FN2, and app shows me FN2 LN FN1.

Haven't tried with 3 or more words, but I guess it would be FN2 FN3 .. FNn LN FN1

Hey,

Correct, I replicated the behavior of CM roms, but also thought it was weird :)

If no one objects, i'll change it to what you suggest on next version.

Version 7.3.8 is out

Hey Guys,

Just released V7.3.8. No ground breaking changes, just implemented some user requests from here, namely the "Last name first" behavior when contact as multiple last names, and the SMS auto-dismiss when replying (it now doesn't).

Also updated translations (Thanks Armin!).

Cheers

Changelog:

- User Request Change: Last Name Fisrt option now shows the abolute last name first with multiple last name contacts

- User Request Change: do not auto-dismiss SMS when replying to it

- Updated translations
​

Should be available from Google Play in a couple of hours.

Cheers

Thx for this great apps! am using SGS2 jelly bean 4.1.2 and it seems that proximity Sensor doesn't activate during call (*incoming / outgoing)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I've been trying to automatically identify Samsung devices to seamlessly correct that, but apparently UCS is not doing that. If you are willing to help out, can you PM me?

Any way, to do it manually, go to the Workarounds menu in UCS settings and activate the "override proximity sensor" workaround. You should be fine then, but please come back here and confirm its fixed!

lowveld I downloaded your app for the first time today and love it. Been tinkering around with the settings and wrestling with the themes a bit but can't decide between the default theme or Big Thumbs theme. You think you could edit the Big Thumbs to display the name at the top instead of the middle? Would be perfect if the Answer and Decline buttons had a space or gap between them to look like separate buttons..maybe?

I know you're quite busy and understand if you can't but these 2 little changes would leave me no choice but to upgrade to pro!

Thanks for the time and effort on this app man keep it up

I attached a kind of before/after pics of the buttons..couldn't really edit the caller name banner though

Any chance of an option that wipes all contact pictures mappings from ucs

I know that I can wipe all application data but this will lose all the application settings also
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
I'll add it to next version wish list. Meanwhile, use a file explorer and go to:

/data/data/com.lowveld.ucs/files

(or wherever the N4 stores program data, hopefully I'll know tomorrow :) )

And delete all PNG and JPG files. That should do the trick!

[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Scratch the above request, what would be more useful would be a way of un matching the incorrect face book contact from within the face book section

So that you could clear incorrect matches and also un set the Facebook flag setting it back to use android default with one button

Does that make any sense
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
V7.4.0 is out

Ok guys,

I was working on a major overhaul of UCS, but a recent issue with facebook syncing was brought to my attention, so I was forced to update it. I also squeezed in one of the new features I am working on.

Changelog:

- Added Privacy options for both calls and SMS - check rigt-most tab on UCS settings

- Choose to hide caller name and picture until you choose to unlock the callscreen

- Choose to selectively hide text, or all contact details, on SMS screen until you unlock it

- Moved Internal Phone Syncing menu to General Settings tab on UCS settings

- FIX: issue with retrieving friend list on Facebook synchronization​

Just to translate the new feature: a user requested some means of keeping incoming calls out of prying eyes. Together with people complaining about SMS screen also being a bit "dangerous" for privacy, I implemented a "Privacy Screen".

You can:

- in calls, show the privacy screen, and force the user to press show to actually show the incoming call (together with the pciture). From this privacy screen, you can outright dismiss the call also. You can configure this to all calls, or just known contacts.

- In SMS, you can choose to hide the text only, or go overboard and hide contact name and picture also. Again, pressing the Show button leads you to the regular SMS interface

Apart from this, there is the Facebook fix. Facebook changed (again) some stuff without warning, and the friendlist would never be successfully pulled. Existing UCS users would not notice it unless they re-synced the list, but it would never work for new users.

And that's it. I'll keep on working on the rest of the stuff, and eventually release 8.0.0. Again, I was hoping for a bigger bang, but was forced into a intermediate release.

Cheers

P.S. As always, google play should make the update available on a couple of hours. But they have been screwing up more than usual lately, so it could take longer.
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Sounds really nice. Send me the changes for translating....
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Sure man, thanks a lot! I was actually thinking on sending them out to you before the big update, but as I mentioned, this was kind of forced.

Let me just recheck the English originals, I already noticed something that should not have gone out like that. I'll send you the files tonight.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
What do you guys think?

Still work in progress, but you get the idea...

[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Nice. Take it as it is if I can change the background ;)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Of course:)

It follows the common UCS rules. Shows per contact picture, or default known/unknown.
[Android Apps and Games] ben_pyett:
Change the screen shot? that's stunning, looking good!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks. I'm pretty satisfied with the current status, every button you see works, including the dismiss actually removing the call from the system log.

Now it's just providing the usual array of customizations, and on to the rest of planned features. Including your "reset contact" thingy.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] kalandrak:
I have the next problem. During a incoming call the original call-screens appear during 2 or 3 seconds, and then appears the UCS's screen. Any idea?

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] User_99:
Not a bug. That's how the app & android works. Read the thread and you will see that this was reported in the past.
[Android Apps and Games] kalandrak:
Thanks, but I dont have too much time to read 51 pages. So thanks for the info.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
There's a very long post of mine explaining that somewhere in this thread.

Although some delay will always be there, and the stock call screen will always show first, I have a couple of ideas to minimize the delay. Currently testing them out.

Cheers

Missed calls now also have privacy options, now for the theming interface
[Android Apps and Games] zohan99:
Love this app, been a user from day 1!

Quick question. All of a sudden, when I get a call the screen dims almost completely! I haven't touched the settings, and didn't find anything in the settings.

Any idea how to fix it?
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Thanks mate!

As for your issue, I never heard of anything similar. I don't do anything to the screen brightness, at least knowingly.

Just to make sure it's not some weird interaction between your rom and UCS, can you try using it with the "proximity workaround" both turned on and off to see if there is any difference?

Also please make sure that it does not also happen with the stock interface (just disable UCS for incoming/outgoing for a quick test), it could be some global setting in your rom for power saving or whatever.

Cheers

yup, same problem with stock interface.. this is pretty strange...

Ultimate caller screen

Hi,

Since I upgraded my HOX to JB, I'm not able to answer calls using the app.

I'm able to reject, mute or send mail but not answer.

any idea ?
[Android Apps and Games] genusswurzel:
I think it's look grate!!!

(Meen the background)

Can you please share a downloadlink???

Sorry for bad English :rolleyes:
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey,

Unfortunately I know what's going on, and the only option available for you is turning on the "root workaround for answer".

I thought the app was detecting HTC devices and warning users about this...

This problem is limited to HTC devices running JB Sense Roms. I currently haven't found a way around it except root (that's when I added the workaround menu).

Let me know if the root workaround does it for you!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] liorsol1:
Updates regarding this issue

Thanks for the reply. I have an update regarding this issue.

I've testes the same with caller ID of Rockerdial and have the same problem. the only way I'm able to answer a call is using the phone basic mechanizem.

regarind the root workaround. I' ve tried it. my HOX is not rooted so I'm no able to turn this feature on. I get an error message that I do not have root permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Yes, I doubt that anyone has found the solution for your problem no matter the app.

I saw it coming back in September, and included a warning in UCS that upon detecting HTC devices, upgrading to JB would break answer. Apparently the warning did not show for you?

I spent 2 weeks exclusively trying to find a non-root loophole, but was unsuccessful.

Sorry...
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Version 8.0.0 is out

Ok guys,

This is by far the biggest single update I did in months. Regarding old issues, I think I finally fixed the rare FCs some users had when using/rotating big pictures.

As for new features, read the changelog and them try them out:

Changelog:

- Added Fullscreen Missed Calls Notifications

- Notification screen allows swipe actions, dismiss, callback, and reply with SMS

- Added optional on-screen "mute" button during calls

- Added Privacy Options also to Fullscreen notifications

- Optimizations on image handling: should solve rare issues with FC on loading or rotating pictures

- Increased picture quality when using existing android contact pictures on ICS and above (Licensed only)

- Increased functions on Contact Manager detailed view: click picture now offers also options to reset contact, reset facebook linking, using current internal contact picture as source, and syncing the current UCS picture to internal Android database

- Added dedicated Un-link menu to Facebook options. Single press any facebook contact to clear association. Great for errors after using "I Feel Lucky" Option
​

I'd like to thank everyone who had an hand in helping with this, from the suggestions of Joe Sebo and Ben, to the tireless German translation efforts of Armin (even more because as soon as he finished something, I added more stuff).

Cheers, I'm off to a Christmas shopping spree...

P.S. As usual, it should take a couple of hours until Google Play makes the update available

Two Feature Requests -

(apologies if these are already available functionalities -- I swear I've looked)

1. Would it be possible to DIASBLE the SMS Fullscreen receiver function while you're actually IN the default texting app? I ask because my friends are talkative, and will often text me WHILE i'm responding to the previous text. When that happens, I'm taken OUT of the default texting app and into the Fullscreen SMS Receiver, which gets a bit irritating after a while. (SMS Popup has a similar function, I believe)

2. Is it at all possible to set up the app so that when I ASSOCIATE a facebook profile with a contact, I can then edit/crop the photo manually? I occasionally associate a contact, and get the half of the picture without them, or something similar.

One last question -- is it possible to respond to texts from WITHIN UCS itself? Or is it solely designed to take you to the default app for responses? Not a feature request, just wondering.

Thanks a TON for the app -- it's EASILY the best in its class, and getting better with every update (which is far from how it usually goes)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello,

Number 1 is a bit tricky, let me think about it before I say anything.

Number 2 is fairly easy, its actually implemented on the standalone syncer part of of UCS to fine tune Facebook pictures before syncing internal contacts. I can safely guarantee I can make it part of next version (unless some critical bug pops up).

As for internal SMS composing, I could do it. But honestly, at the moment any effort would easily be beaten by any dedicated SMS app features. So until/if ever i build something worth showing on this regard, default SMS app it is. :)

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hey,

Found out what's wrong with your buttons, although it shouldn't happen at all. By the the way, they should actually be there, but invisible.

Anyway, will be fixed next update.

Hello!

Is there a way the ANSWER call to be made like in MIUI rom - with a slide down gesture to answer and slide up for reject? I am aware UCS supports these gestures and I am using them and there is no turning back but it would be amazing if it there is a visualization for them.
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hi,

Yes, you can use those gestures. And you have apparently found that out. :)

So what do you mean by visualization?
[Android Apps and Games] heavencanwait:
Let me explain... When you set up the UCS and there is a page where the user is prompted to choose between rotary, slider, buttons. I am proposing you to offer yet another choice to answer call for users, like in the picture:

I think this is the most classy way to answer calls and I am using a "slide down" gesture anyway. But it would be an even more awesome application if it had the graphic behind the gesture.

post scriptum: I know I can make an image that says "slide down to answer" and has some cool background but if the text actually moves with the gesture, it would kick so much ass.

Thank you for your attention. One can tell you are a great developer. :)
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
OK, i got it. It has nothing to do with swipe gestures, it's a new interface, just like the others.

It's very limited in that way. What about drag down to answer, up to decline?

No promises, but I'll look into it. There's another interface I want to implement also.

I'll probably release a minor update shortly, just the Spanish translations and the fix for Lesha's button issues. No new features.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:

Answer not working

Hi Lowveld (and other forum members),

as my nickname already says, I'm a prowed owner of a Mobistel Cynus T1. It is a dual-Sim phone running stock ANDROID 4.0.4.

I found this really nice app, but I'm having some problems using it. Everything works fine so far, however I'm not able to accept calls with the UCS screen. I'm able to reject them, but if I try to accept a call, the screen changes to the in-call-screen, but the phone keeps ringing. I have to hit the back button and accept it with the original call screen.

My phone is rooted, so I tried the root-helper for answer, but still no success. I can not accept calls with UCS. Not with the buttons and also not with a swipe gesture. It looks like UCS is thinking the call is accepted while it isn't.

I search this thread for a possible answer, but was not able to retrieve one, or I did not come up with the right search words.

Regards

Andreas

[Android Apps and Games] lowveld:
Hello there,

There are so many phones and vendor android modifications out there that there are bound to be problems with some.

There are no log creation utilities in UCS, but I always try to fix issues with help from the users themselves.

If you are willing, I can compile debug versions just for you, and hopefully we can fix it together. If so, just drop me a PM and we can continue this off thread.

It would be particularly great because I know UCS as issues with dual sim phones, but i could never get a user to help out :)

Cheers
