Wonder what is happening with this project? App is no longer in Play Store. Any information why has it been removed?
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
the authors are back at developing.

ppl follow them in the 4pda forums

They are now trying to work it out with google to get it back in the playstore.

No one knows if it will be allowed back in the sore soon.
[Android Apps and Games] Kaler:
From my understanding, the dev was just at the point of getting back to this project but first has to deal with the latest play store rules.
[Android Apps and Games] solitarios.lupus:
Its googles new rules about anything dealing with sms or phone calls has to be the default dialer or sms app And as no app can take over the full dialer then most will go away.
[Android Apps and Games] dejan16v:
Still best dual sim dialer.
[Android Apps and Games] trveller72:
Agree
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Agree.

Btw, does anyone know how to remove Cyrillic font from dialer pads?
[Android Apps and Games] Kaler:
Go to settings, dialpad and disable secondary language
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Thx, that's it. :)
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
What do you mean no app can take over full dialer? What can in take over then, half of the dialer?

Is it some kind of new rule from Google?

If so then it's stupid. The power of Android is the ability to modify/replace everything. Instead of inventing new stupid and blocking rules Google should test new apps they admit to the store. Apple can do it they could too.

If the devs decide to work on this app any further, I hope there will be an off the store version with full replacement...
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Let me explain it to you. The whole dialer is 2 apks. The dialer and the phone apk. One controls the number pad the other is the call screen and everything that deals with incoming calls.

https://www.xda-developers.com/google-restriction-sms-call-log-permissions/

You can have freedom or security. And we have seen that security is more important. Also if Google did that, then apps like this one would have never been allowed in. Apple and Android can be compared only as much as a human and a whale.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Yeah I get that.

And why exactly we can't have both?

Are all devs robbers, hackers, phishers etc?

I've been using true phone for about 3 years now and didn't see higher bills for example...

I still believe it's a matter of testing apps before you admit them to the store.

Sorry, didn't get this part.

I'm terms of systems yes, in terms of sh*t apps security validation - not really...

I have visual defect On Xiaomi mi 8 - app not in full screen. Between phone bottom edge and app window is big black stripe. https://failiem.lv/u/hw6j2npp#/
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Have you ever tried to publish an app? Sometimes it can take months before an app passes apples tests. With the number of apps Android sees this would be almost impossible for Google.

You miss one major point in the matter. Apple is an OS developer and has been since day 1. Google is a data collection and sale company. To put in perspective a Google dev has been quoted as saying "users on average only use 2.5 hours or SOT and get less then a dozen notifications a day" you want to leave your safety in their hands? Not to mention they micro manage like they are stupid. None of them work on a whole app. So you wiumd have to pass the app across like 10 teams. Would be almost impossible. Thousands of apps a day are sent up to the play store. Let's not forget Apple controls everything. Google does not. Each oem rom is as different as can be. A perfect example is almost no 2 oems use the same frameworks files in the shipped rom. (they use their own proprietary replacement files.

As for having both. If you don't know the answer to that then you have bigger concerns. Here is the only way you will be secure. Makes the OS, right down to the bootloader. Then all the apps and use your own server to host your private VPN. The you maybe safe.

Are all developers scum? Nope not at all. But it only takes one. All it takes is one bad app targeting the right area and people and well being from Poland (I grand parents came over in the 60s) you can imagine what a nut job like Stalin or the Big H himself got their hands on this tech.
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
I have version 1.7.1 runing on a OnePlus 5t, Android P. In the DualSim options I can find an option to use the system settings for Sim selection when I'm connected to Bluetooth (System settings=Sim1 for calls). Could it be that this option doesn't work anymore in Android P?

My car hands free equipment doesn't allow me to select between the Sims, so I want Sim1 for all outgoing calls when I'm connected to bluetooth, but I want to be asked (Sim1 or Sim2) if not connected..

Thanks, W
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Yes but you might be missing how much money Google has. I still think that if they wanted, they could do it easily. It's just cheaper to set rules like that...

Oh boy, have you just gone sideways here...

No but I'm getting more and more convinced to start coding...
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
They don't have nearly the amount it would need. Do you know how much a good dev costs? Let alone a security specialist?

Not at all. Look at the millions of apps removed that were nothing more then malware.

By all means. There are great tutorials all over. Ask any question.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Well I'm not an expert but AFAIK nobody hires device to test apps. Testers are for that exercise.

Wait what? Are you saying that you are a Dev and can help me with hiccups I might encounter? :)
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I have been doing app, rom and os development for over 20 years. I used to mod this site for a decade. (let's just say me and xda disagree on the direction) I build my roms for every device I use except my main. (work reasons) so I can help where needed. But don't believe what I say. Look it up. You can view my whole history here.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
But not android, I suppose? ;)
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
I have 6 apps on the playstore made to help developers. I have worked with some of the best teams here.

Now I will end this with if you want help learning then start with c+ or Java. Then come back.
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
Oh relax. I was referring to 20 years of development but android doesn't exist that long.

I think Java will be my choice. I hope this will not mean any limitations vs C++.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Yeah the android bit has only been the last decade. Android is just the OS come lately. I have been in xda through 3 such OSs.

Oh no you will learn a bit of both over time. And some kotlin I think is what Google is calling it. (I prefer c++ myself)

Thank You, I did disable it but on a preview, it was shown again and thought it can't be turned off - Thank You again!
[Android Apps and Games] vesiri:
Great app. Kudos to its creators. Been running it for years as my default.

I do remember there was another dialer app prior to this one.. Can't remember the name. It was similar in how customisable true phone is. It was suddenly discontinued and in a forum someone recommended true phone as a replacement. Anyone know which app I'm talking about??
[Android Apps and Games] Babbsack:
Maybe Pixel Phone? :)

Great app. I like it so much, that I've just paid for it ;)

How can I change the color of the background in the new Caller ID when someone is calling me?

[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
try changing colour of sim card in settings --> network & internet --> sim cards. or, in true phone settings --> dual sim
[Android Apps and Games] longu:
Thanks, it works, but is it the only way to change it? There are very limited options to choose from. I wanted to have the background black, but no matter which icon I choose it's not even close.

Regards
[Android Apps and Games] Fafner76:
Too bad it doesn't seem to be able to intercept calls launched from BT (for example a Car system) and forward them to the configured SIM. System integration is obviously set to "always".

Works fine for calls launched from the phone itself.

Fortunately, there's a workaround for this: I set SmartUnlock to keep my phone unlocked when connected to my car, this way I can start calls using "Ok Google" (Voice Match isn't an option to unlock it as it's not supported for my language). "Ok Google" does in fact turn on the screen and display the home screen. From there, starting a call works just like if I started it from the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Max1306:
Hello!

Since the last update there is the Caller Id. I deactivated it. However,

"permission granted" is ticked. Have my contacts been uploaded? Caller ID

uses the data from the address books of the users, isn't it? Or am I wrong?

Max

Hallo! Nach dem jüngsten update gibt es Caller ID, was ich abgeschaltet habe. Es ist aber "permission granted" angehakt. Wurde jetzt mein Adressbuch hochgeladen? Caller ID zeigt doch Namen zu Nummern an, welche einer Datenbank der hochgeladenen Adressbücher der Nutzer entnommen wird. Oder liege ich da falsch?

Max
[Android Apps and Games] Babbsack:
Hello Max, only english,, please!
[Android Apps and Games] Fafner76:
My bad, setting S10+'s SIM options to "always ask" instead of "SIM1" solves it.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
Mine is black. But may be because I've chosen "true dark" theme in true phone settings, appearance.
[Android Apps and Games] trveller72:
I think caller ID refers to the way the caller ID is shown on the screen and is using the data from the phone.
[Android Apps and Games] Fafner76:
I'm 99% sure that CallerID/Dialer thing was added just to be able to get the app to the Store again. I seem to remember a recent restriction only allow apps to access some stuff if they're meant as dialers.

They'd just need to refine it a bit, overlapping the statusbar isn't a nice thing to see.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
You're right.

And as long as they leave the option to get it disabled, then it's fine by me. This way we could always use the stock caller if we like.
[Android Apps and Games] kost7:
So, is there a way to use the new version without making it the default dialer? Cause I couldn't find it, and had to revert to 1.7.1.
[Android Apps and Games] raven6679:
Settings » Caller ID » Enable Called ID - disable it.
[Android Apps and Games] kost7:
Thanks, but still if you set Google phone as default dialer then you can't use True Phone.
[Android Apps and Games] trveller72:
Isn't this only for the way the caller ID is displayed on incoming calls?

I think is just to set how the screen will look (like theme) when getting a call.
[Android Apps and Games] raven6679:
Sorry if I got this wrong.

I've assumed, that you were asking about True Phone "incoming call" new screen.
[Android Apps and Games] zelendel:
Simple answer is no. It's time to make a choice.
[Android Apps and Games] kost7:
Figured as much ? And I did: I'll stay at the previous version.
[Android Apps and Games] IMTREX:
Unfortunately! I have the same issue. I run 1.7.1 paired with a call blocker, which I need to set as default phone app.

So I also stay with the older paid version.

Since the last update (on May 7th) I do not have missed call notification at all [Galaxy S8+]. Does anyone has this kind of issue?

Please note: it's not about clearing missed calls notifications. The problem is: there are no notifications about missed calls at all.

p.s.

Tried all sort of combinations in Settings -> Behavior -> Missed call notification.

Tried reinstalling the app.

I also use phone blocker, but I followed instruction in previous messag to disable Called ID which allowed me to set phone blocker as default app and keep using True Phone (1.7.8)

Hello,

Currently I am using True phone 1.7.8 rev 97 and I have a lot of problems.

First when I end a call the screen remains unchanged (as the conversation is still going on). I have to try to restart the phone and then I can back to the "Desktop" .

Some times the phone shows the old look of the dialer some times the new one. The old one is better because there is more options (record the conversation, write a note ...)

During the call, the screen brightens is automatically set to 100%. Why?

Is there a way to solve this problems or to go back to the old version of the app?

The phone is Redmi Note 4 4/64.
[Android Apps and Games] IMTREX:
Solved by TomVintage's instructions few posts up. Thank you! Excellent app!
[Android Apps and Games] menshen:
Thanks for this app, I've just buy it. A question, is it possible to select contacts tab by default. I mean, when app starts I would like showing contacts tab instead of recents tab. I didn't found this setting...

And another suggestion. Is it possible to show contacts and favorites in the same tab? Like samsung default contacts app, where favorites contacts and on the top.

Thank you very much. A great job!

Notification in v1.7.8

Hi ,

I'm a long time True-Phone user running the paid, ad-free version on my last 3 phones already :)

With the current version and True-Phone wanting to be the default phone app ( which I granted ) , I completely lost all missed call notifications :(

As a current workaround , I have unchecked the " check for default" in True Phone and reset my default phone app to the original one to get my notifications back , but nevertheless, I would prefer True Phone being the default , IF Notifications would work :)

Why ?

- Because I do prefer the screen layout of True Phone on an incoming call

- If the notifications were handled directly by True Phone , then the bubble for missed call would work correctly as-well ( as opposed to currently showing on the default Samsung Phone app )

Keep up the great work , and I truly hope that issue with notifications is fixable :)

Cheers,

Claude
[Android Apps and Games] mrmidnight888:
Hey amazing app!! This is perfect for me.

Just wondering is there any way to see incoming/outgoing text messages as well under the call log?

I remember back in the old samsung touchwiz days you could see ALL incoming and outgoing calls/messages all under the call log. Not sure if samsung still has this but it would be great if the app supports it!!

I text and call a lot so it would be very helpful for me to have it all in 1 place.
[Android Apps and Games] maxip:
Been using this for a while and really like it. However I've never been able to get Masks working in dual sim mode meaning thst I occasionally phone a work number from personal sim. I'm not going to use groups as I frequently update contacts.

Work has some 'short' codes for dialling that I can use - for example, all employees have an internal 8 digit number starting in 37. So if I create a new mask that's says if number starts in 37, use Sim 2. I created a mask but can't get it to work - I've tried 37, 37* but no joy.

Any guidance on how to get this working appreciated.

true light theme - bright blue font colour

Using the "true light" theme, incoming call numbers or caller IDs are displayed using a bright blue font colour on a white background, making those numbers/IDs nearly impossible to see. Can this bright blue font colour be changed by the user?
[Android Apps and Games] Cryptostasis:
After the last update I don't see the buttons on the dialer anymore (picture attached). Is it a bug? Can I do something to fix it? I have used the app for a long time now, and I don't want to change it. Thanks.
