[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
I've been using Go Dialler/Contacts for well over a year, previously on my HTC desire and it had the same issue back then where it wouldn't register the cleared missed calls, so if you got a missed call, it would say 1 missed call, then you would check the missed call and the notification would go. Then if you got another missed call (and only 1) it would then say 2 missed calls, this would go on and on until you restarted the phone. On the desire I solved this by putting the app in system/app with root explorer.

Another annoyance is that when you dial or try to save a number, it automatically puts spaces between digits where country/area code are. I like to keep my numbers all in the same format, that means no spaces or anything, so just +XXXXXXXXXX

I use my phone for business so save a lot of numbers, this is going to be a pain to have to edit each number while saving a contact.

So just wondering, since go dialler/contacts hasn't been updated since nov '12, is there any newer and better alternatives that work the same way with the dialler predictions (and having latest dialled show up smartly when composing new message in GO SMS also - this is handy!) but which don't have the annoyances?

Any feedback appreciated!

I am new to the world of Android, having previously been a RIM and iOS user. However, since coming over to Android and seeing the open nature of the platform...loving it. Anyway, back to the matter in hand....Contacts+ works brilliantly, I would suggest giving it a look :good:
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
I use 'ExDialer & Contacts' app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tb2Rvb2h1dC5kaWFsZXIiXQ..

Very simply themable dialler and contacts app.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know what this means?

"This is a trial version with 7 days trial period. When the trial period expired, you will be asked to buy PRO version. You can still keep trying if you haven't decided to buy"

So is it free to keep using or what? Do they keep bugging you to upgrade/pay?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coxie:
I don't have experience of it,but I would guess you will get nags to upgrade, although with what frequency I couldn't say. I think that is one of the reasons I stuck with contacts+...it's free! That and the integration with FB, it's merge facility etc
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Going to try out exdialer first I think, seems to have a lot of recommendations from what I've seen, first impressions are good anyway and it's solved the issue of the number having the spaced put automatically. I think the missed call issue might be in every dialler so I might have to put it in system app
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
Is free but every 7 days when you next open the dialler it will show a screen asking if you want to buy the full version.

Very easy to ignore if you don't want to pay for the full version.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
thanks, every 7 days, so 52 notifications a year, hmm, seems a bit much :D
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
It used to come up daily but i think the developer changed it to 7 days because too many people complained!
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Thanks, I'll give it a trial anyway and see how it fares.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negus40:
Try Dialer One, a very nice app.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Thanks, it actually turns out that ex dialler doesn't solve the issue with numbers being automatically formatted with spaces etc :( also, the add contact screen is a bit messy of exdialler, I find go contacts better in that regard, go may even be slightly faster?

Would anyone know how to get around the auto formatting at all? There's an option in exdialler not to use area codes or something which I thought would help but it doesn't.
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashsam:
I don't find a problem with the spaces in the numbers so can't help with that one!

Regarding the add contact, when I click on the + button to add a contact it takes me to my default Motorola add contact screen (which is also messy!) so I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that.

When you add a contact is it taking to you an ex dialler add contact screen?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Yes, I downloaded Ex Dialler and Contacts (I'm not sure if there's a simple "ex dialer" link without the contacts?) but now I can choose either ex dialer contacts or go contacts. Unless ex dialer is using the motorola contacts?
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Have now tried dialer1 and contacts+.

Contacts+ is a bit overkill for me and not customisable to get rid of contact pictures, change font etc so it just looks too clunky for me.

I'm very happy with Dialer 1, but there's two things I miss from Go Contacts:

1) The ability to search part names, so say for example you had a contact saved with a long, easily forgetable name, something like josternberg and you could never remember it, but you knew part of his name was "stern", that if you type 78376 it would show up. Unfortunately at the moment it doesn't, but it does in other aps (Go Contacts/Dialer and Contacts+). This would be especially useful for anyone who has saved contacts without putting spaces between certain words. So imagine I had a few hundred android developers phone numbers and saved them as: androiddevappname, I could get to all dialer contacts by typing "342537" for dialer, even though it's surrounded by other characters.

2) Alphabet scrolling in the contact window. At the moment there's only a little green bar that can be scrolled down/up. In Go Contacts/Dialer, there was a permanent alphabet sidebar (small but capable) which you could hit any letter to get to that section of your contacts. I've over 1,000 contacts saved with a sequential first name code starting with VTA (for my business) and after saving a new contact, I used to be able to quickly to the letter "w" scroll up a step and check that the new contact I saved was there, two actions but without the alphabet bar it's going to take a bit of scrolling to get there.

Also waiting on the release of light theme :)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] negus40:
I am pretty sure you can enable smart dialing in dialerOne settings...
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
Thanks negus, yes dialer1 does have smart dialing, but will only work at the start of each name, so say if I had you saved in my phone as "xdaforum negus40", I'd be able to find you by numbering in N E G U S or X D A, but not by numbering in U S 4 0 or F O R U M. I sent the dialer 1 team an email which they replied to quickly saying they'll look into adding these functions :)

how can i update hboot of my htc desire x..?? plzz help
[HTC Desire X] Leon:
Maybe just to update to jelly bean ?
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
Yes, there are 3 ways

1. Softwate/OTA update from HTC (Officially)

2. S-OFF your Desire X and use a modified P66IMG.zip to manually flash hboot update.

3. Use an RUU for Hboot update (if available)

Regards

Yasir
[HTC Desire X] Twisthor:
As far as i know option two (S-OFF) isn't possible for Desire X as of yet, and option three (a JB RUU) hasen't been released.

So we're just left with option one. Do i miss something?
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
yes, youre left with option one
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:

thanxx guyz for suport.....i had rooted desire x....nd its had a hboot version 1.20....plzz help me tp update it......
[HTC Desire X] neXus PRIME:
You can only update hboot via OTA update, and for that, you need stock Rom, like it was before rooting, and stock recovery. Then you'll get the hboot update to 1.24 and then 1.25 hopefully.
[HTC Desire X] Yashrajsoni05:
Thanks bro...

is anyone besides V6 maniac working on the s-off ? I woulda thought s-off would be one of the first few things people would of worked on after disabling write protection and rooting the phone or am I wrong ?
[HTC Desire X] hell_lock:
s-off involves high risk of bricking the device thats why devs stay from it and its very hard to attain s-off as it requires lot of hardware knowledge.. leavin aside some fancy mods, we can still do alot of development without s-off
[HTC Desire X] azraelcelt:
S-OFF

ohok didnt realise it was that hard to do also when a device is bricked due to this does that mean using a JTAG recovery thing, (I saw one of the guys in the elegancia rom post meantion this) would not recover a bricked phone ?
[HTC Desire X] mindlesSheep:
jtag should allways be able to recover any bricked device (thats kinda point of using it)
[HTC Desire X] azraelcelt:
oohk just got the idea that it didnt always work although the JTAG thing I was looking at did several things like S-OFF supercid etc

so it means i have to put stock ROM back tom my phone to get the officaly rom included the 1.25 hboot? or iam stupid ?:D

You're not stupid, just not reading much.

Yes, you need a stock ROM with everything intact (not even a single file is missing).

I recently tried an experiment. My bro Huawei phone got ota but as he had modified system apps, the ota failed. His ota also had firmware and hboot update (89mb)

I opened the ota zip, in updater script removed all assert checks, and then flashed ota, and it completed, even his firmware and hboot got updated. Have we ever tried fooling HTC stock recovery ?

It was not working for One X ... so I believe the same for DX ... the write protection thingy.

First thing, and i don't pretend to be rude, write your question in the right way.

There are Forum Rules for all of US.

The second one, the download mode, is by pressing volume DOWN(not up)+HOME+POWER. The one you are choosing as far as i comprehend by you спасибоwords, leads totCWM (either stock or 3d party one).

The third, if you somehow managed to downgrade to ICS(4.0.4), just press OTA update

Cheers!

Actually when the phone boot on ICS 4.0.4 the volume up button is working and the volume down button is not working.

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has tried and tested the removal of bloatware apps from their Razr I XT890 running 4.12?

I'd be interested in cleaning the phone up a bit just to make it less crowded, I like to use real calc instead of stock calculator, go sms instead of stock messaging, zeam launcher instead of stock launcher etc etc.

I'm quite a novice when it comes to the technical side of things so would be too afraid to start deleting system apps incase they messed something up.

If anyone has seen a list compiled and could share, that would be great. Also, would it be Razr I specific, or would a general 4.12 safe removal list be safe to follow?

Any feedback appreciated :)

[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucki_X:
I think that for you would be easier use Titanium Backup or SystemAppRemover (need root acces) to remove apps.

If you want use the zip file you have to unlock bootloader and flash CWM. In CWM you can install zip files. # you must put in front of the line where is written desired app. Updater-script you can fing in the zip file /META-INF/com/google/android/

Thanks again, I actually have my phone rooted and was able to apply the debloater, however I don't want to remove everything so will restore the backup I took before trying it, I tried install the zip file with the edited script (with the # in front of the ones I wanted to keep) but it failed to install via recovery so I must be doing it wrong :(

I extracted the script file, opened with wordpad, edited, closed and saved, put it uncompressed back into the zip and tried it.

that failed, so I tried open directly from the zip, edit, close and save and flash that too but that failed too :( the original unedited one doesn't fail.

The error I get is something referring to error in zip file.

Do not use WordPad. Edify scripts require line endings to be linux style (LF only). Wordpad converts them to windows style (CR LF). Use another editor; I recommend notepad2-mod (set syntax highlighting, F12, to shell script)
[RAZR i Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cormie:
See I edited and saved in wordpad and wasn't prompted to save in any other format, do you think it still saved in CR LF?

In the same script and another edit, I think I pasted something from somewhere else and went to save, but then it prompted me to save in the wordpad format itself (rtf I think it was) which I didn't, when I simply added a # or two, it just prompted to save without asking for format so it appeared to save as it was and not change anything? So you reckon it still changed it to the non-readable CRLF?

Would basic windows notepad be ok to edit it instead of having to download notepad 2?
