Possible Bug

I think I may have found a bug or conflict with your dialer and an app called Contact Owner. It's the app where it puts the contact information on your lockscreen so if you ever lose your phone or whatever, the owner info is right there on the screen. I say it's your dialer and not a rom error because I have (and was before having to wipe and start over. Not because of this, 'cause of an sd failure) used this on my current rom (WG) before and had not had this problem.

As for the problem, with this app you have to choose a contact whose information you want to show on the screen. The app loads fine, but when trying to select a contact a "Sorry!, The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." error pops up and forces you a step IN to the app. Instead of backing you out to the home, it's almost as if it's like "let's try again" and puts you on another Select Contact screen. Try to select a contact and another "Sorry!, The process android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." shows up. Then after accepting the FC, the entire phone turn black and you have to wait for your homescreens to reload, icons and all. It only happens when trying to select a contact so I guess there is something in contact portion of the dialer that is causing a hiccup. Hope that was enough information for you to see if it is the dialer or possibly something else altogether causing this. Thanks for all your work.

FBE: A log cat will be useful. I've a feeling it's fixed together with the bug adair reported. Can you try an older version, say 1.8? :)

Anyway, I'm trying to get the feature requested by xenio in. If i can't get it done by tonight I'll release the bug fixed version first :).
[G1 Android Development] :
Damn I go off for some sleep and already another update, Wysie for president! :D
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
xenio: I've good news for you :D.

Release with all the reported bugs fixed in a while.

shadowch31: Lol :P. I'm coding as much as I can before Christmas, and then school's starting soon :(.
[G1 Android Development] :
Alphabetized contacts! I could kiss you!

But I won't.

Not into man love! :eek:

:D :D :D
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
i know this is is a long shot but i have to ask.

i'm a lefty and it's very difficult for me to use contacts.

you think it's possible to have the option to choose the scroll bar and the green arrow to be on the left?

it will be a life saver!!

Thanks

Groups

Report: noticed that if I edit a contact, open the "group" option, click "ok" to back out.... if I go right back in, my "group lists" are duplicated and will continue to duplicate if I go back in.

Also... not all of the groups I just made in Gmail are in sync, only one shows... is this just a google thing?

Thanks, I love your work... making android that much better
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Fixed the duplicate issue. Thanks for reporting.

All the groups are shown on my side, except for the default Google created groups (Friends, Family, etc.)
[G1 Android Development] acrawl1:
Ok cool... that makes sense. Those are the ones I cant see. The one I created I can see. GREAT!!!! Thanks, you're the best.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
acrawl1: Yeah :(. More info: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=1632

mrjay: I'll look at it but it's low priority, hope you understand.
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Wysie - I noticed if you display the dialer during a call, it's the stock one, not your modified one. Also, the green phone (call) icon doesn't work on any of the lists. I'm using the 1.96 update.

EDIT: The green call icon doesn't work on the "Call Log" list only.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Neejay: I know about the green call button bug. It's fixed already, releasing 2.0 in a moment with a bunch of goodies :).

The dialer during the call is controlled by Phone.apk, not Contacts.apk :).
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
That will require serious re-coding of the Dialer portion, doubt I'll do that. I recommend Easy Dial Pro if you're looking for something like the HTC-dialer.
[G1 Android Development] :
With all the work you have put in over the last few months fella you deserve to take a break. Thanks you for all the wonderful work you have been doing for us all and I'm sure I speak on behalf of everyone when I say...

THANK YOU!

And hope you have a great christmas and an even better new year, tis people like you that makes the G1 worth owning!
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Ah, ok. So there's no way around it? Or is it at least a simple way around it?

+1 - Take a break. lol Enjoy the holidays, you don't 'OWE' us anything. :D
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Neejay: The modded Phone.apk by cytown or the one by xenio has the Eclair layout (but without the bottom 3 action buttons). I'm not too sure what Eclair's one looks like, you've any screens? :) The green dial button bug is fixed in 2.0 already :P.

Thanks for the support guys! If there're bug please report them :P.
[G1 Android Development] camalot:
Ok, I just found Bump for android, and was messing with it, and it doesn't seem to work with the modded contacts. You have to select a contact to setup your information, but when i select a contact, nothing happens.

can anyone else confirm this or is it just me? If you need anything from me, let me know...

Edit: I attached the logcat
[G1 Android Development] ilostchild:
I leave for part of a day and your on 2.0! dang man your awsome and great work! loving your mod for contacts
[G1 Android Development] acrawl1:
THIS UPDATE IS THE TRUTH....

Your work is excellent... take a break. Happy Holidays @ Wysie and everyone else
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
camalot: Looking at the logcat I can't find any reference to Contacts. Can you try with an older version? Or maybe the stock Contacts.apk? Thanks :).
[G1 Android Development] 2dorr:
Thank you for the good job. Marry Christmas to everyone!
[G1 Android Development] QUEDRO:
Force Close when I press dial button
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
QUEDRO: Logcat? Also, detail the steps you took. What dial button? Dialer? Contacts? Call log? Favourites? Please understand I can't fix a bug without knowing how you got it. Thanks :).
[G1 Android Development] :
Works fine for me.
[G1 Android Development] ilostchild:
I jus updated to 2.0! and i hit every call button on there call log contacts favorites all work great!
[G1 Android Development] QUEDRO:
OK, so I was getting FC on green button press in Favorites and Contacts. I think I fixed it. I went to Settings/ Application/Manage Apps/Contacts (0.94MB) , Uninstall Updates. Now Contacts app has only 288KB.

WORKS FINE!!!

THANKS Wysie and Co for ur work

PS: sorry for the previous post...
[G1 Android Development] mrjay:
really appreciated man. whenever you have time.

thanks and merry christmas
[G1 Android Development] nolageek:
Awesome. Can you add an on screen search, like StarContact? (see attached)

That would pretty much make this perfect, IMHO. LOVE THIS.
[G1 Android Development] Chahk:
Better yet, search like aContacts. It filters by letters AND numbers at the same time.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I co-sign all this! This is fantastic and before I could even check to see if it was a bug on my behalf, you have 2.0 out to fix it and add new stuff. Fricking amazing man!!!! Enjoy your holidays because we all here appreciate the early present!!!
[G1 Android Development] chilln73:
This new contacts is becoming a work art.

A real masterpiece.
[G1 Android Development] _Kyros_:
This Mod is great, thanks for all the hard work...by the way I thought this came with the ability to combine the same contacts in Call Log with History, that would be a great addition so the Call Log won't get filled up so quickly.
[G1 Android Development] sivaavis:
Thanks

Good one there. Only two more things to be incorporated to make this the best dialer out there

-- grouping of call log by contact

-- T9 search by name and number.

This can easily beat easy dial pro, superdial, dialer+,star contact and acontacts once these two features are added.

Thanks again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all.
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
yes!... wow thank you again and again... :D
[G1 Android Development] :
He is waiting for the code from geesun to see how to do it I think.

Also he is working on creating editable groups which will be a massive bonus for all!

If you check back over the last few pages all this has been covered :D
[G1 Android Development] :
Not sure about a T9 search personally, now it is alphabetized its slick as hell and easy to navigate to the contact you need and can't say I've ever used search a contact by number. Seems to defeat the point of naming them to me :D
[G1 Android Development] gamin92:
+1 ! Completely agree with that !
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
Links are dead anyone have a mirror?
[G1 Android Development] camalot:
First post has the files attached. They are working
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
mediafire seems to be down. I just checked with http://downforeveryoneorjustme.com and it's not me ;)
[G1 Android Development] Jerzeeloon:
It must be mediafire I tried downloading a file from another site and got the same message,hope they fix soon,I want to update,still using wysie 1.72
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Here is a mirror for you all.
[G1 Android Development] Sleeepy2:
FYI just updated to Cyanogen 4.2.10.1 and it already has 2.0 included :D
[G1 Android Development] darvo:
The only reason I'm not upgrading to Donut is because of the default dialer app. When you got used to the easiness of HTC's smart dialer, there is no way to go back to the android dialer.

As mentioned before, T9 contact search is very useful and it would be a good thing if it could be implemented. As Rogers won't be upgrading to Donut for their Dream/Magic, it would be the best of both worlds!

Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] chucky80:
great mod Wysie

This is awesome! just flashed this mod over htcclay rom and I must say that I love this better than any other out there. Thanks a lot Wysie!
[G1 Android Development] bfreexxx:
me too

i'm using "the official donut" too, and the slider starts with the letter "u" in the "a" section. any fix for this bug yet?

i love all the other features. this has turned into a the best dialer and contacts app. good work!
[G1 Android Development] :
bug report 2.0:

-Force close (FC) on Messaging pressing the contact icon to the right of recipient bar.

I've reverted back to 1.9.5 which works fine (couldn't find 1.9.6 to test it out)

Thanks for tis great addon.

edit: FYI, I'm on cyanogen donut 4.2.10.1 :D
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
truemagic: I don't get your explanation, could you explain more in detail? Where does it occur? Call log, Contacts, Dialer or Favourites? How does it occur? Please detail the exact steps you've taken to reproduce it. Thanks!

For the scrolling bug, cyanogen has replied to my github on how to compile it against his build environment a while ago, but I've yet to go through it properly. Also, may I know if those with the scrolling bug are using CyanMod or WG (or something based on Cyan)? My main question is, if I were to compile it using his build environment, will it affect other ROMs?

Update:

truemagic: I think I know what you're talking about. I don't use Messaging, that's why. Haha. Give me a day or so I'll fix it :).

Update #2:

truemagic: Forget my previous update, what're you talking about? :X
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Not to "thread drop" but I have that error as well and hope I can help explain. It's basically like the bug I had posted back on 1.96, although 2.0 fixed it in regards to the app Contact Owner, so that's kind of weird. Basically, when using the native messaging app and you want to compose a new message, if you click the little "contact" icon next to the "To:" field to bring up a list of your contacts, it causes the acore force close and causes the screen to go black and takes a few seconds to reload the home screen.

Again weird, because it would do the same thing with Contact Owner on earlier versions, but 2.0 doesn't do it. However, the messaging bug has happened on both 1.96 and 2.0. I guess it's the way each app handles gathering contacts.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
FBE: My Messaging app does not have a little contact icon next to the "to:" field? :( Screenshots and logcat would be good. Are you on Cyan or using a modded Mms.apk? I'm quite sure it's the fault with my app, but without what you're saying in my Mms.apk I can't do anything. Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] :
I don't have that either Wysie, was gonna test and logcat. Me thinks they have modded mms or possibly using a messaging client .:confused:
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Heh lol. Either way a logcat from them will be good.
[G1 Android Development] 2dorr:
Today I got an error when I pressed the green phone on the right side on a name in Contacts - the process ended unexpectedly. When I clicked the second time it called the person in the Contacts. Also I noticed some lag when I scroll down in the Contacts. There is lag also when I scroll down with the gray alphabet letter selector.
[G1 Android Development] :
Would be nice if people included proper information, hell it is suppose to be christmas! lmfao

Give a dev a christmas present today, give them useful info!

:D
[G1 Android Development] :
Not experienced any unexpected using the green call button, has this happened only the once or everytime? And always had a little lag but nothing to bad. I always find loading the contacts first thing when phone is switch on or been in sleep for hours. They open quicker and less lag during the rest of the day.
[G1 Android Development] g1lol:
Wysie,

everything works great..except one issue....

When I try to create a Shortcut for Direct call on Home it breaks.

Try Selecting Long press Home-->Shortcut-->Direct Call.

Then I get an error saying.."acore.android" force close.

Info- I am on CM 4.2.10.1 (fresh update after Wipe without any issues).

Do u need any Log for this?

U really rock dude.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Thanks for the report g1lol. I can reproduce it, will fix it asap.
[G1 Android Development] 2dorr:
It happened only one time to crash.
[G1 Android Development] :
In that case I would say it was just one of them little things. If I open browser and click back immediately my phone restarts 1 out of ten times lol one of them little things that just seem to pop up out of nowhere to annoy us every now and then.

@Wysie

This isn't a bug or anything just an observation, maybe the way its suppose to for all I know but when I click on Contacts on my home screen then go to favourites and hit back then open contacts again it is still in favourites.

Would it be possible for it to return to the contacts screen when re-opening?
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
g1lol: The bug has been fixed, will upload in a while.

In the meantime, I need some feedback. Would you all like to see the alphabet separators in every other mode (such as when adding someone to Direct Dial shortcut, Direct Message shortcut), or only when in "Contacts" tab?

I'm asking because as of now, I'm showing the separators in every mode except for "Favourites". In the master AOSP code, separators are shown only in "Contacts" tab.
[G1 Android Development] :
Contacts only for me fella.
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
do you have the fix on your git repo?
[G1 Android Development] aaronkt:
I get a force close whenever i push the call button. Doesn't matter who im calling. I have also tried to just hold down the 1 button for voicemail and it still force closes.

The only solution i have found for this is to restore a switchrom backup.
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
pershoot: Yes actually. I'll be releasing 2.01 in a while. Still looking through some code.

Also, can someone with a Droid take a screenshot of the list while in the "Contacts" tab? I'm asking because I realized that with the backporting/addition of the code from master to allow the alphbetical separators to happen, the separator/lines between each contact has become thicker. I'm wondering if this is intentional or not. Someone with a Droid, please help :). Thanks!
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
2.01 is out with the bug reported by g1lol fixed :).
[G1 Android Development] pershoot:
yup, thx.

........
[G1 Android Development] g1lol:
Thanks for the quick update man. u rock. where do u get they enthu...energy so much...keep up.

yes, we just need the separaters in contacts.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
I'm using WG's Build which of course is based off of Cyan's rom which I do believe has a modified mms structure. I've included some screenshots and a number by number process of what happens:

1.

The main screen of my default messaging app

2.

Going into to compose a new message. That little icon to the top right is what I was talking about.

3.

This is what happens when you press that button.

4.

This is the black screen you get after accepting the force close.

5.

This is home crashing after the black screen. This doesn't happen everytime, just when it takes too long to reload Home.

Hope that helps out some.

Here's a link to my logcat that followed the crash. File too big to upload here apparently.

http://www.mediafire.com/?mzzy5kiq2qw

In due time my friend. Had to wrap the little one's presents last night and couldn't get around to it in time. lol
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Dammit Wysie, you are too good and quick! lol I take all this time to craft that doggone post just to happen to glance at the thread title and notice it's now 2.01. Of course I immediately download and flash it and guess what problem no longer exists. I swear you fix problems quicker than I run into one. Next time I see an issue, I'mma just wait 5 minutes and see it be resolved! lol Thanks again for all the great work.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
Can someone post a mirror for the new version .. mediafire is acting uber gay right now ....appreciate it
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
There's a direct link to it in the first post.
[G1 Android Development] Chosen_on184:
the direct link send me to mediafire to download .. however mediafire from some reason is acting up and wont download .. hence why i am asking to reup on another site ...mega upload maybe ... if you have it can do that plz
[G1 Android Development] g1lol:
I too had the problem with mediafire. But Just go to the direct link on the first page. It is just above his signature. Just right click and do "Save as".
[G1 Android Development] Booker-T:
Editing Groups for the contact has a minor problem.

The list cannot show all the Groups
[G1 Android Development] daveid:
Odd, I am running Cyan's 4.2.10.1 and I can press that little button (never even knew it existed though, as I always just type out the first two letters of the contact I am messaging) without any issues.
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Yeah, it was an issue, but 2.01 has seemed to fix this problem already.
[G1 Android Development] :
Thanks Wysie, v2.0.1 fixed the old issue I reported earlier (FC on Messaging contacts), it's working great now, you're the man!! :D

Santa wish list: :D

I was wondering, is it possible to add haptic feedback to the Dialer just like the HTC dialer? That would be a nice feature if possible :D
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
truemagic, FBE: Actually I half-suspected that the Messaging bug will be fixed with 2.01, but I couldn't confirm (since I lack the feature in my unmodded Messaging app), and am glad it's fixed now :D. Thanks for the report.

truemagic: Haptic feedback has been added. Releasing in a while. I made it just for you :P.

Update: 2.1 out :).
[G1 Android Development] :
Hoho....THANK YOU so much!!!

Must say this is the "major" change eh(as I name it), lol :D

will try it in a while.......can't wait to be impressed:D
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
How's the haptic feedback truemagic? Is it too long, too short, or just right? Right now it's at 50ms. Btw, 2.11 is out, but do not update unless you've some weird FCs with certain contacts.
[G1 Android Development] amack10:
Cam someone tell mee how to install this. I downloaded the update.zip wnt into recoveery and it said it was bad. Then I tried the apk.zip. and can't install it. It won't leet me unsiz so I reenamed .apk and it won't install
[G1 Android Development] camalot:
The first post explains how to install the apk

adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Contacts.*
adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Contacts.apk@classes.dex
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.contacts/shared_prefs
adb shell rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/shared_prefs
adb push Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
[G1 Android Development] amack10:
Is theree a way to do it in terminal or recovery consel
[G1 Android Development] david1171:
in recovery console with the Contacts.apk on the root of your sdcard

mount system
mount sdcard
rm -r /system/app/Contacts.*
rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/system@app@Contacts.apk@classes.dex
rm -r /data/data/com.android.contacts/shared_prefs
rm -r /data/data/com.android.providers.contacts/shared_prefs
cp /sdcard/Contacts.apk /system/app/Contacts.apk
reboot
[G1 Android Development] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Thanks for the update! lol
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Hi guys,

Those of you having the issue with the scrolling bug, I've compiled a version using Cyanogen's build environment, can you all test it and let me know?

Link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/nqby2n3ktzj/Contacts_wysie2.11_test_apk.zip

Unzip it first! Thanks :).
[G1 Android Development] Neejay:
Is this just for people with Cyanogen ROMs? I tried it, but it said verification failed. Sorry if it's not obvious to me. lol

EDIT: Sorry, I just realized it's the .apk, and not the actual "update_signed.zip".
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Neejay: Nope, not just for cyan's ROM. I compiled against his build environment :D. Hm, you've to unzip it first.
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
@Wysie

Can we have another Tab with Smart Dialer in that.

Just like HTC Smart Dialer as Default Dialer I have more then 1800 Contacts Searching is Pain Dialer Number or Pushing the Name is Easiest in SmartDial or aContact (Free Software in Market)
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
Nope, still broken letters, also the alphabetical separator is in a crazy order, it starts with "U"... :(

Check my signature for the rom I am using. I have contacted Enom, I am waiting for an answer.

If the problem is in the Framework-res.apk, I think that Contacts.apk and Framework must be compiled in the same build enviroment.

Xenio
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
stupid question

not to be an idiot,but....

is this contacts.apk the entire dialer app?

i see its the fix for fc on trying to add direct dial shortcuts, and like the screenshots i saw...i think the answer to my question is yes, but name of apk has me guessing
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Dialer/Call log/Contacts/Favourites, and a whole lot of other stuffs (such as Direct Dial shortcut) are all under Contacts.apk :).
[G1 Android Development] tnpapadakos:
sweet, thanks
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
xenio2000: Maybe you can check with Enomther if he has done anything to framework? He can just pull my code and compile anyway ;). I always push to github :D.
[G1 Android Development] xenio2000:
@wysie

Yep, Enom is checking your Contacts.apk adn probably he will include it in next release of his TheOfficial Rom, I have informed him about the Framework-res.apk.

Thanks again.

Xenio
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
That's good news :)!
[G1 Android Development] hetaldp:
@Wysie

Any Developments for Smart Dial (T9) Dialers
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Nope. None planned for now either... I've been a little busy with other things recently, and more importantly I want to finish up the groups functionality.
[G1 Android Development] :
:D Wysie is my hero! Lol
[G1 Android Development] Wysie:
Also, I'm looking at a way to "simulate" the quick contacts function. Giving it a try tonight maybe :).
