Do you need any help for a french trad ?

just put the string.xml with what you want to trad and i will do it if you want :]

Sikounette: If you want to translate you can go to my github here (http://github.com/Wysie/android_packages_apps_Contacts/tree/donut/res/). values is where all the English strings are, I'm guessing values-fr is where all the french one is. If you can translate it'd be good, thanks! To be honest I only use English myself .

I added one more preference setting, and that is the option to DISABLE number checking in Dialer. In other words, when you press menu in Dialer, you will always see all available options, even if no number is entered. The same goes for the left action button.

Also, jairomeo requested for the background of the dialer to be themeable, and I hate this lame request, so from now on, Contacts.apk is going to look like this:



Joking . Sorry camalot, grabbed the nearest picture i cound find. It is now themeable, will post more info in the first post and will update soon. I should sleep soon, gotta wake up early for my trip. Thanks jairomeo for the suggestion!

Update:
1.72 with above options out!

 

[jairomeo]

Changes:
1.72:
Added option to allow disabling of number checking for dialer. What's number checking? Basically, previously, SMS/Add To Contacts will not be shown in the Menu in Dialer unless at least one digit is entered. Also, the left action button was disabled unless one digit is entered (except for voicemail). With number checking disabled, you'll always see them in menu, and left action button will always be enabled.

Added a drawable, custom_background_dialer.png in drawable-finger to allow a themeable background in Dialer. Thanks jairomeo for the suggestion. See the following screenshot for an example:



Don't worry, the Dialer is still black background by default. Just used camalot's display pic (nearest I could find ) as an example.

Thank you for adding that!

Just upgraded to 1.7.2 and have to say fantastic work! Great new features.

Love the fact you have that quick call key next to the contacts!

Your a star fella for all your work, thanks.

Quick question. Noticed in the call log the 'Total incoming/outgoing' that when you clear the call log it clears the totals too. Is their anyway to possibly make it so that it keeps the totals even if call log is cleared? Also would it be possible to make it so you could clear the totals manually?

Just wondering as I have a monthly plan with 350 minutes call time and would like to be able to keep track of outgoing calls without having to keep my call logs all cluttered and at the start of each month reset the Total incoming/outgoing so that I could start my minutes again? (Nevermind seen you have something similar on your todo list )

Thanks!

I love it. you should keep it like that.

Just a suggestion, if "Hide Frequently Called" is checked, then the "Clear Frequently Called" menu item should be hidden.

how do i add my own picture to the background?

 

[camalot]

Something i just noticed, any way to make the setting group separators use the text for the tabs. I only ask because currently it says, for example, 'Favourites', but here in the US, the tab says 'Favorites'

 

[jairomeo]

You need to replace custom_background_dialer.png in drawable-finger

 

[Sleeepy2]

Brilliant work!
Thanks

think the update zip is messed up... too small

 

[MontAlbert]

nice update wysie, instead of working i just did a really quick half arsed theme of this to see what could be done:

i will polish it up over the weekend. until then here is what can be done

 

[jairomeo]

This is my themed dialer that I was able to finish once Wysie added the line I needed

badass, can you post a flashable .zip of that or metamorph apk?

 

[Wysie]

Vlad83: The update.zip is working properly. I tested it by downloading it after I uploaded it (all 3 mirrors, MediaFire, RS, attachment). It's around 360kb because it contains just Contacts.apk + the update script to do the necessary stuff.

Glad you all like it ! I'm off for my trip, enjoy the weekend!

 

[Wysie]

camalot: I'll take both your suggestions into account when I'm back (the Favourites naming thing and the clear freq called thing). It should be very possible . Nice ideas!

 

[holysmokesbatty]

How do I add transparency to buttons?

Sorry for my noobishness, and yes, I did do a bit of searching before the post.

 

[nyctrini3]

How do you get the update .zip to work?? Cuz not working for me either
