The changes that came with the recent updates are really AWESOME. But only one request please regarding the Call Screen, if you could u make an option to enable the avatars to be shown in big different shapes when placing an incoming call? Just the same way like the photos show.. THANKS A LOT.
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
Sorry for bringing that up again. Nobody any idea...?
[Android Apps and Games] dejan16v:
Good job.

Works great so far.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
There is no such option.

System Integration -> Bluetooth only means that all sim association rules will apply only when Bluetooth is currently active.

What's the point of using SIM1 on bluetooth and SIM2 in all other cases?
[Android Apps and Games] dejan16v:
My experience with bluetooth in car for making calls:

- if I have chosen contact which is assigned in Sim contact association works fine!

- if contact is not using Sim contact association it waits for me to choose Sim

This can be overcomed by setting default sim for calls!
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
Thank you very much for answering.

I think this is a misunderstanding.

I always like to have the sim selection dialog when I'm calling (no automatic sim selection).

But when I'm connected to my cars hand free (Bluetooth) the app should automatically select sim1 since the car handsfree cannot answer the sim selection dialog and the call fails.

But if i understand correctly, i can associate a sim for each contact. If i select "Bluetooth only" it will use the association, if not i will get the dialog. I will test today!

Thanks again for the great app and your support.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
i like the new 'timer in hangup button' feature. could you consider removing the timer at the top? thanks for this great app.
[Android Apps and Games] Wrapp:
Comming back to my my bluetooth problem, I found a solution.

In DualSim I set

-Standard Sim : Always ask

I'm connected to my cars handsfree bluetooth and I set the option

System Integration (Apply sim associations to all outgoing calls on system level)

--> On Bluetooth only --> I still get the Sim selection dialog

--> Except Bluetooth --> TruePhone automatically selects SIm1 , which is set in the Andoird settings (this is the system level, right?) when calling from handsfree and gives the dialog when callling from mobile directly

Except Bluetooth behaviour is exactly what I want.

Could it be that the meaning of this setting is simply swapped??

Anyway, I can life with that. This makes TP my perfect calling solution.
[Android Apps and Games] trveller72:
Thank you for continuing to improve this application. I am using it for years.

One thing with the call screens:

My phone is OP7t. When I set to use the TP screens, when I hang up, the TP call screen close, but the OP call screen is still showing for a few seconds. I tried to disable the OP phone app, but then one day, after a restart of the phone, I couldn't answer the calls, or if I was calling, couldn't hang up.

I am not sure if I explained this well, so if you need more details I'll be happy to help.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
good that you found a solution. here's a screenshot about extended configuration.

"Nightly build" April 05, 2020

download

* Completely removed any visual delays when starting the app from any app icon (Phone, Contacts, Favorites) or shortcut

* Removed top text line in Ongoing call screen when Hangup call timer is on

* Added Avatars options (old name Colored Avatars), now it's possible to display 2 first letters instead of one

* Reworked Tabs options - simply review in settings

* Added Default tab option - starting application tab when you start from the main app icon (Phone)

* Fixed freezing bug when answering incoming calls as well as the problem with invalid call duration (e.g. 1h30 minutes from the beginning)

'undo' brings back everything

:cool:. 'cos your app is so so rich in features, not everything will be noticed immediately. here's another request to help 'improve' usage of your great app. hope you'll not get annoyed by such requests.

in call history, one can delete individual records by swiping right. however, 'undo' brings back everything - not just the last deleted record. if, on clicking the recycle bin icon, there are check boxes and 'select all' option, one could first select all and then un-check the records one needs to keep. thanks.

[Android Apps and Games] dvhttn:
On the 'block list' setting. Would it be possible to add 'choose a contact group' rather than just a contact and/or number? I keep a collection of blocked numbers under a single group and it makes it much easier to add them to a call blocking app/dialler blocker.

Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Yes, we'll publish it till the end of April
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Guys, our current Blacklist is just a simple redirect to voicemail, it's not actual blocking.

We will completely rework it to get it work like a normal blacklist.

We need some time to make True Phone real Caller ID and spam detector for unknown numbers.

It's a huge task, so please don't expect it to be available soon, maybe in the end of 2020

Hello guys!

If you want to help us translating True Phone you're welcome.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] jegoadres:
I paid for the app long time ago but I want to pay again for Your effort and excellent work.

I just need two things.

1. Please give me option to completely turn off avatars in incoming\outgoing call screen. Just black background will do.

2. Please make separate option for app theme (white) and incoming\outgoing call screen which I prefer to be black.

How can I contribute?
[Android Apps and Games] mach07:
Installed. I did not enjoy it. The design is kinda "kitkat" it did not match my OneUI thingy. Some workflows too were not the way I want things done. Thanks for it, but no.

Btw, I've finished the strings for pt_BR. It is 100% done, thanks for the app, but not for me. Take care!
[Android Apps and Games] jazzh:
Just wanted to say thanks for this great up which i paid for several years ago.

Last month I bought a new car with Bluetooth enabled and I have a slight delay when I'm trying to use my car's Bluetooth system. The delay is because of the calling list which takes some time to be downloaded from the phone to the car before displaying on the multimedia screen.

I think it would be useful if there was a setting at call history tab to limit entries for 100 besides 1000.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
"Nightly build" 11.04.2020

Download

* Hide after call behavior is changed to On successful call, Always and Never

* Added option to pick default avatar for all contacts with no photo. Setings -> Contacts -> Avatars

* Fixed various bugs

Added Record call button - works in test mode for now

1. No UI, no settings, just the button to Turn on / off

2. Output format is m4a for now

3. Recording is off by default. You need to proceed into Settings -> Incoming / Ongoing call screens -> Buttons and add Record button manually

4. Output files are now storing in sdcard\data\TruePhone-Recordings. The only way to listen is manual.

How Record works

1. If we have CAPTURE_VOICE_OUTPUT system permission we always record from line

2. If we don't have it, but your Android is 8- we also try to record from line

3. If we failed with prev. options we record from Mic

To get Record work from line (Android 9-10-11):

1. You need your device to be rooted and Magisk Manager installed ^)

2. Remove True Phone, if you made it system app manually remove it from system partition too!

3. Reboot your device

4. Install the following magisk module

5. Reboot your deivce

6. Install the latest nightly build

7. Reboot again

8. You done! Don't make True Phone system app after installing magisk module, it may cause unexpected system behavior

9. After that you may update True Phone as usual, you will not need to do anything else after 1st install of magisk-module. Magisk module has the same app name and signature as True Phone. The only reason you need to uninstall True Phone, install magisk and then install True Phone again is a potential system problem with providing us system permission. You may try to install magisk module only, and then just update True Phone without clean install, but it way not work.

To get Record work from line (Android 6-7-8):

1. Completely the same steps as for Android 9-10-11

2. If you're unable to do that, just hope that recording from line will simply work. If it is not, the only possible way to record is Mic

call recording works fine

wow! features getting added by the release. keep it up. call recording works fine for me.

hopefully all 3rd party call recording apps can be discarded now. and, any rom can be used.

i wish o/p format can be (.amr, or) the smallest file size possible, without loss of clarity. :highfive:
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
It's nice to see that you are working so hard.

Thank you.

However introdicing a call recorder functionality is tricky. I've been using call recorder (skvalex and others) for many years. And I can tell you that lately keeping them working by their devs has become a very difficult and time consuming job.

I want point out that such a functionality could at some point overwhelm you. Because basically you're now making 2 apps inside of one.

It depends on how deep you'd want to go into it of course.

This could cause delays in the core True Phone development as a phone app.

Thanks again.
[Android Apps and Games] m0han:
i hope that does not happen. the dev must have implemented call recording facility based on requests received from users of his app. judging by the number of releases he has done over the past few weeks there does not seem to be any delay in core development.
[Android Apps and Games] dancrow:
[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION] amazing work, beautiful application, very useful.

One more suggestion please.

Is it possible to have an option to show on the incoming call screen the call history (2 or 3 of the last calls) for the contact which is calling?*

Thanks!*
[Android Apps and Games] jed84:
[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION]

Polish translation for incoming/ongoing calls received from private number is incorrect.

String: '(Zablokowany)'

(blocked)

should be replaced by: 'Numer prywatny'

(private number)
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
We also work on integration TP with Skvalex right now.

It means that you will be able to directly control Skvalex from TP as well as we will provide additional stability for Skvalex CR (100% guarantee that System will not kill CR during recording) with more information about a call which is being recorded (SIM information, for example).

I'm not sure about other popular recorders like ACR or CUBE ACR. Seems like the most stable recorder is Skvalex, and we already have direct communication link with it's author, so our integration it's just a matter of time :cool:
[Android Apps and Games] jed84:
[MENTION=4502297]exisapps[/MENTION]

Any chance to revamp the design slightly?

Even if more work would be needed, as for now I would say the removal of the extra borders would make the design cleaner and slightly more modern:

It's simple, isn't it?) Just don't use settings.
[Android Apps and Games] tiho5:
That's great.

Knowing how much work skvalex has done and is doing for his app I was amazed that you were willing to do it yourself. And now that I know that the call recorder part will be already taken care off by the best (indeed his call recorder is the top) I'm sure you are going to have plenty of time to work on the true phone part of this joint venture proper!

Excellent initiative and the first one (AFAIK) of it's kind to combine a phone app with a call recorder app!

auto call recording does not work for me. tried first with 'incoming enabled' and then with both 'incoming and outgoing enabled'. restarted app as well as phone. manual recording works ok. would you consider other formats so that file size is the smallest possible (.amr?)? thanks.

p.s.: does the dump.zip contain details that would reveal one's private info like phone no., imei no. etc.? if so, what would be the bare info required to investigate the matter?

[Android Apps and Games] Nokono:

[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Why? Every nightly build is stable. The only thing that could work wrong belongs to options we're working on right now.

So last 2 build was almost all about call recording and we continue to work on it.

There is a restriction for all beta-versions. They will work for 60 days and after that True Phone will start to inform you that it's outdated. This restriction works for beta-versions only. Right after we flush the update to Google Play it will be completely OK. You just need to update from GP in regular way. Update in GP will be available in 2 weeks from now.
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
It's our simple mistake.

The filter works independently for each option. I.e. to record all calls from unknown numbers you should set Incoming + Outgoing + Unknown. If you want to record everything you should enable all.

This is why there is no effect when you set the filter into Incoming calls. You also need to select at least one from Contacts or Unknown numbers.

I will improve it to avoid these mistakes automatically :laugh:
[Android Apps and Games] DonAndress:
It's not a matter of builds being stable. I tend to settle for versions which work for me. I usually don't need more options than the version I settle for (I use 3 years old apps now). But I observe the "what's new" section. Well in my experience new version / feature make an app heavier and slower. I don't want that.

Fair enough, thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] erkange:
Working on Turkish...
[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Not with True Phone, i guess. Instead, we made it faster, really. For example, we completely removed any app opening delays and "strange" animations when you switch between contacts, favorites and call history using different app icons and shortcuts.

We did not announce that here, because we always take care on speed, memory/battery usage and so on. Our original goal was to work as faster as we can, this is why True Phone works worthily even if you have 20k+ contacts. Don't believe - prove by yourself in synthetic test if you want ^)

"Nightly build" 17.04.2020

Download

* Added Recording app option. Available apps: True Phone, Call Recorder - SKVALEX, System phone app

* Added 1st-phase integration with SKVALEX. In order to get it work you need the latest version of Call Recorder to be installed.

* Added option to switch into system phone app by pressing Record button during a call in True Phone interface. You will be unable to get back to True Phone ongoing call screen until current call session is ended

* Added more settings for True Phone built-in call recorder, including output format and sampling rate

If you choose True Phone to record your calls

* Please don't play with different call recorders at the same time (i.e. if you have ACR or SKVALEX installed disable them first)

* Please enable True Phone accessibility service in system settings if you have Android 10 on-board but don't have root and our magisk module installed

* If your records completely silenced or if you have any other recording problems please proceed into True Phone call recording settings and try to change output format and sample rate

* If you have our magisk module installed please reboot your device after update!

If you're encountering any strange behavior while using True Phone, please immediately send us a log via Settings -> Report a bug. It will greatly speed up our fixing response. Thanks!

what's the procedure to do a clean install? i read somewhere thus: phone settings --> apps & notifications --> *app* settings --> force stop --> storage & cache -

clear both

--> uninstall.

but, i can't get uninstall icon for true phone, maybe due to the fact that it is 'system' on account of 'call recording'. however, can't delete 'HbDialer' in /system/priv-app/.

please suggest the procedure to do a clean install of each build of your app. i prefer to do that and then restore settings. what do you think? i hope to run 'Nightly build 17.04.2020' soon. should i disable/delete magisk module, reboot, install new build, install magisk module and reboot before first run? i ask 'cos, somewhere down the line, call recording stopped working for me.

Great job, amazing work with the last beta update, including call records.

Some suggestions, if I may:

1. Using call record option, on my Note 10+, it's only working with "Call Recorder" app. The record of the call is on by default, from the start. Is it possible to change that, so we can choose when to activate the recording during the call, by simply pressing the record button on the incoming call screen?

2. Please add an extra option, for the incoming call screen, to show call/message log, date and time of the last call in history, like in attached picture.

Thanks a lot and keep up the good work!

[Android Apps and Games] exisapps:
Usually not. But it depends on the situation after which the dump is being created. Dump file itself has very limited size, so you can't use your phone for a whole day and get the entire log. Occasionally there may be a phone number of a single contact, if you create the dump right after a call, for example.
