Can you please specify what excatcly is not working in teh picture dial?

If you go to the install directory i.e \Program Files\EZdial\ and launch PictureDial.exe directly - does it work then?

Thanks,

Micha
[General Topics] MDANavymom:
If I launch directly by going into \Program Files\EZDial\PictureDial.exe, yes it does launch, but when I am in the phone and press up on d-pad for speed dial...I get the default speed dial screen.

Thanks

[General Topics] michar:
This is because the ETEN dialer uses the DPAD up for it's own use.

Unfortunately, I am not sure there is anything we can do here.

If we could add that to the menu would that be helpfull for you? Is that something that you would use? i.e right softkey and then - picture dial?
[General Topics] MDANavymom:
I don't really use the Left soft key in phone which is set for Contacts...but am wondering if I can somehow manage to get Smartkey to open the photo dialer from withing the phone...let me check on that otherwise will have to try and get the left soft key in phone program to open photo dialer.

Sorry for being such a pest.

Thanks

Hi Michar,

Thanks for your very prompt response regarding my query on screen orientation and working of Ezdial.

Just one more thing does your latest WM5 compatible version of PhonePlus III also work in landscape mode.

Sorry for repeatedly asking you these questions but you know I sort of don't like installing and uninstalling software pn my phone and therefore as far as possible I try to confirm what I want.

Hope to receive your kind response on this.

Regards
[General Topics] michar:
Sorry to say that PhonePlus will not support Landscape mode.

And no problem with bothering me, this is what the forum is all about.

We can use that to better the product for everyone's benefit.

So keep the feedback coming...

After choosing the contact and tapping 'sms' to send a message..the messaging app loads very slowly. Not sure whether its some software conflict or EZDial has problems calling up the internal messaging app.

Nice skin!

You are welcomed to send me the skin and recieve a free license!
[General Topics] srmz:
Regarding the slow opening of messaging application I think this is a problem of WM5.

What I have done is that I use PocketPlus as my task manager. Within pocketplus I have set the messaging application amongst the exception list so that it does not close when I press the X button but only minimizes. While this takes up some RAM but on the other hand the messaging application responds almost immediately.

Hope this helps

Regards
[General Topics] michar:
srmz is right on this one.

The messaging app is real heavy on the system regardless of EZdial running it or not.

You need to exclude it from 3rd party task manager such as PocketPlus or magic button or whatever, or if you use the default WM behavior, which just minimize it - you are on the safe side.

Hello Michar.. I have just found your EZDial2 and this link showing it working with the Eten Dialer.. I have been working on getting SmartDial to work in Eten with some success but it has not worked well enough for a release of the software. Seeing your Dialer app in action is very exciting and I know a lot of people who would be interested in it. I would love to skin it to incorporate it into my Eten skins.. www.paulya.com.. I'm guessing you would need to install the Eten Dialer and then install EZDialer2 over it and if that is the case is there any chance of making a "hybrid" app that includes both?

Dear Jakaroe808,

I am familiar with your site and your work as a veteran XDA-Developer forumist and you did a beautifully job there!

I guess just packaging the two software pieces in one installable package is not a problem, but....

I have never written nor tested EZdial on ETEN dialer and the fact that is works with it is still surprisingly happy for me.

I could not release a commercial software (EZdial) with something that I can not deliver proper support.

Further more, EZdial supports many languages that actually replace the keypad on the default MSFT dialer - and that does not work for ETEN.

I am sorry to say that until I fully investigate the ETEN variant, I must decline this offer officially.

I do however encourage you to skin EZdial for ETEN for the benefit of the community and the users.

It is quite simple and versatile and poeple have already start doing it.

There is a Skin Designer application in our site http://www.mesoftware.biz/ezskins.htm which you can test your skin before downloading it to the device which speed up the skinning work alot. It support QVGA, VGA and square and you can put a background image to test against - such as the ETEN dialer.

If you need some more help please let me know.

Hi, I've just sitched to wm2005 on my BA and have some strange bug with EzDial 2.0 on it. Strange, but I have this bug on every ROM I tried except TuMa's. The bug affects skinning elements (flag and active contact backgroung).

I've already described the problem in Helmi's ROM topic (here) but still no answer.

I will attach two screenshots how it looks on TuMa 1.3 and Helmi AKU.2.3

Does anybody have any idea? Please, help! I want to use Helmi's ROM because it is MUCH faster on my device.

Thanks in advance!
[General Topics] michar:
Hi gtp,

I can not think of any reason that can cause this behaviour.

Do you see any other "weird" things besides?

Does everything else function properly?

-micha
[General Topics] gtp:
michar, thanks for reply!

Absolutely everithing else works just perfect! That's why I'm totally stucked. Three ROM's I've tried have this bug but two TuMas not! Really weird... And the bug is ONLY in EzDial 2.0 and only with TWO elements. :twisted:

Ok, while I was playing with it I've tried to replace the file button_port.gif with the button_h_port.gif and vice versa. And was really surprized when the active button became normal (but dark cause it used another file) and the other buttons became ugly. So it seems like the problem is in file. I've checked the file properties and they look identical. :twisted:

I hope somebody could understand all that I'm talking about :roll:

Now I'm out to test the good file button_port.gif but changed in the graph editor. Let's see... :?
[General Topics] gtp:
I've found the solution. I cannot explain why it works but it works somehow. I just converted the files that was not displaying on my device to another format and back again with ACDSee "Save as" function. And I did nothing else. Here is the exapmles of working and not working files.

Try to find the difference between theese two files :roll:

I have installed EzDial 2 on my UK T-mobile branded MDA Vario. The keypad skin does not take over the whole keypad, just the contact buttons that appear when I start pressing the keys. I have tried a soft reset and a re-install but the skin does not appear. I downloaded the VGA skin, selected that but it still did not replace the whole keypad, however, the contact buttons were now twice the size.

How do I get the EzDial skin to take over the whole keypad.

Thanks.
[General Topics] michar:
keycare,

EZdial does not replace the default skin.

It adds a bar containing the contacts when you start punching the keypad but it will not replace the keypad itself.

If you installed on of the language packs, it will replace the english marking on the keys but again -- not the skin.

-micha

Thanks for putting my mind at rest.

Does that mean I can apply a 3rd party skin. I like the blue one in this thread, do you know where I can get it?

[General Topics] gtp:
michar,

you should know what the message on the screenshot means :wink:

cause I had it a few times when trying to open phone app and I saw someone has this error too. There was no any software installed except EzDial 2.0, helmi's ROM was just installed.

In my case, removing of Camera_Detect from startup solved the problem (I HOPE!) but I didn't see it for a couple of days.

Could you please clarify what could be the root of the problem?
[General Topics] michar:
gtp,

EZdial, as you may notice, "attach" itself to the default phone application.

The error you see means either:

1. the phone app is not running when ezdial is loaded

2. the installation is corrupted and you are missing a DLL

Since I guess you tried un-install and install it leaves you with the first problem.

For some reason EZdial is either loaded before the phone (called cprog.exe) or the phone dialer is not loaded at all before first use (which I can not see how it would come to happen).

We debated what to do in such a case -- should we wait for the phone to load? Launch the phone from within EZdial?

There is no good answer since interfering with the dialer work (which is integrated too deep with the device OS unfortunately) may cause a lot of problems. So for the time we did not do anything but show an error and bail out.

Wonder how the ROM difference work to effect the dialer or that camera thing contirute ofr that matter.

Well, let me know if the problem persists, I may build a special version to test the problem.

Micha
[General Topics] gtp:
michar,

Thanks for your reply! I guess your suggestion about loading EzDial before Phone app is the answer and that's why removing Camera_Detect from startup solved the problem. It looks like Camer_Detect launching increasing the time of loading the whole system so it could be the reason.

Anyway, I do not see that error-message for a few days after removing that Camera_Detect thing so I'll let you know if it will come again.

[One (M8) General] Div033:
Aw man, it looks like they're taking a page out of Samsung's book and using silly gimmicks to help sell devices. On the other hand, it worked for Samsung so...

Idk. I can't see myself using the refocus/3d tool on pictures I take. I don't really need that functionality - I'd prefer to have higher resolution photos. At first I thought I'd be fine cutting my MPs in half til someone on this board brought up the work schedule example where being able to zoom in was crucial to being able to read a snapshot of a schedule. I use my camera for stuff like that all the time.

I suppose I will withhold judgement til reviews start popping up with camera comparisons. Despite all this, there is one certainty in my mind: I absolutely will not buy a GS5.

-Call recorder that records both ways?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascy:
About two months ago I purchased an LG G2 F320S which is really good, except for one thing that's really annoying me: because it's a Korean variant, I'm unable to silence the camera when taking a picture.

I've rooted my phone and tried installing LGCamera.apk from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2670972

Given the poster of the apps seems to have the D802 variant, which I believe gives you the option of silencing the camera when taking a picture, I would have expected that installing this APK to provide me the same option. However, after placing the APK and ODEX files in the priv-app directory and restarting, my camera still has no option to silence it (the same 4 shutter sound options).

I have seen some flashable camera packages posted on here which also contain native libraries, but I don't see how these help because the sound files are contained in the APK (also, I don't have a custom recovery flashed as I nearly bricked the phone permanently the last time I tried - had even managed to mess up download mode). I've previously unzipped the APK and tried to remove or change the sound files, but it looks like the resources are signed in some manifest file so that changing them isn't possible without going through the process of creating a signed package (and I would assume you'd need LG's private key in order to achieve that, rather than being allowed to sign your own). What does flashing the C/C++ native libraries give you?

The most annoying thing is that the shutter sound wouldn't even stop a determined perve, as there are camera apps in the Play Store which just save the screen preview (ie full HD image, in the case of the G2) as a photo without making a sound, so the whole thing is just pointless and annoying.

Can anyone provide me with information or pointers to information on how to get rid of the stupid shutter sound on the F320S variant while being able to take 13 megapixel pictures? I am a C# developer and am not a complete stranger to Linux or Java, so feel free to be technical. Even just some information on why my bundled camera APK will install, but others won't (though some will when you restart the device after placing them in the priv-app folder when the phone does an 'installing update' thing) would be useful to know.

Thanks in advance!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MichaelFreeman:
I have a UK EE LG G2 and I can assure you that that trying to silence the camera click doe NOT work! By all accounts you need to 'root' the phone and delete 'cameraclick.ogg' (which I believe is only accessible when in root (which you appear to have?)

.

Michael
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickfury:
A Bit of an off-topic thing, but i am facing the same problem on my Lg g3 as well.

Removing the camera_click.ogg from the system>media>audio>ui folder does not do the trick.

The actual LGCamera.apk will need to be decompiled and the audio file contained in the res>raw folder will need to be replaced with a silent one.

However i do not know the exact procedure to recompile and re-sign the apk again
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ascy:
Exactly the issue, so I've given up on it. In fact, I removed root entirely (not an easy job) as it was preventing updates.

I had tried replacing the sound files in the camera app, but the package needs to be signed. I would assume that just signing the package isn't enough, but that it would need to be signed by an LG authorised key for it to be recognised.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickfury:
Just to let you know the new G3 Tweakbox Xposed Module works like a charm and silences all the annoying camera sounds. Time to root again I guess lol
