[MOD] Dialer/Contacts.apk 2.8 Based off ChainsDD Dialer (Updated 140110)

[Amon_RA]

I would update the Installation instructions as follows :

adb remount
adb shell rm -r /system/app/Contacts.*
adb shell rm -r /data/dalvik-cache/[email protected]@[email protected]
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

It could be that some commands will return an error because the directory or file is not found (depending on the previous installation), just ignore those.

Edit : People with apps2sd and dalvik-cache on SD will have to update the above commands to fit their installation ofcourse...

I still have that stupid bug with the Letter Slider in the contacts list...
the letters are not in sequence when scrolling

I think who have a CM mod does not have this problem but with TheOfficial I always had this bug.
any idea why this happen?
Thanks
Xenio

Very nice the dial button in the contact list...
thanks again

xenio2000: I don't have the bug, never did and can't debug as a result . I'm on Amon's ROM. I've seen through the code briefly for the pictures part and there seems to be nth in there that's causing it to jump. I'll check it out again tmr.

Thanks, glad you like it .

 

[xenio2000]

I think it is a bug related not to the code itself but how it is compiled...because the same apk works in some rom and not in others.
I never figure it out... Cyanogen got that problem a long time ago... maybe you can ask to him some tip

 

[Wysie]

Are you saying it's fixed in Cyan's ROM? I'll check with him when I wake up .Time to sleep!

 

[cashless]

Installed, works GREAT! I love seeing the exact time in the call log! Brilliant!!!!

Nope I am saying that there was that problem in his rom a long time ago and he fixed it.

sorry. not good with adb. any help w/terminal or console instructions would be much appreciated!

I LOVE the call button in the contacts. Minor addition but it makes a MAJOR difference. Now, if only you and ChainsDD can merge your projects

Use the zip file in the OP and update in recovery. POW!

 

[Wysie]

Actually ChainsDD and I are merging in a way. My prefs are taken from his, and some of his code is from my github.

I'm just not familiar enough with github to work on the same project, I think I'll screw it up . For now, I try to pull new code from his whenever he's added them (it'll be stated), and work on the features I think are important for my personal use .

Thanks for the comments on the green call button, glad you guys liked it. I always found it kind of stupid that I've to tap once before I can make a call, thus the reason for it.

damngood98: Use the update.zip version for now. Will update later . Just woke up, a little lazy .

Thank you for the Dialer. One request, is their anyway you could theme the dialer. Like Phonebook to use a colored background instead of black ?

 

[Wysie]

timal: You can just theme it as per any other apk, replace the drawables inside?

 

[Estyle]

thx..lol..

 

[FatBoyExtraordinaire]

2 quick questions. 1. If we download the apk, can we just install it from say Astro and it will work, replacing the current dialer on our rom, without having to use terminal? and 2. Will this work on Wes Garner's Build 9? Thanks in advance

Any help with this? Hate to be a pain, but just went through a little bit to get my phone back up and running and hate to "F" it up again by making a mistake.

FatBoyExtraordinaire: You can download the update.zip version, and flash it like a ROM.

I've heard installing using Astro works, but I've never done that personally, and would advice against it. Do a Nandroid beforehand if you're worried .

Any chance someone would post a mirror for the latest update.zip?
Cant download rapidshare....tmo.
Thanks!

Htcclay: It is attached as well.

I didn't notice in the change log or in the thread but does this correct the issue with FC when you click the Dialer and the keyboard of the dream is open?
