[MOD] Phone.apk with complete caller image (4.3 odex/deodex)

[shaftenberg]

Hi there,

I modded the Phone.apk so that the image of the caller is seen completely now. In addition I modded the call icons slightly so that you can see them regardless of the caller image color.

Push the .apk to /system/app, set the permissions to rw-r--r-- and delete Phone.odex if you have an odexed system!
Reboot and you are done, enjoy!

Great!!! Thanks!

A question: Kitkat works in the same way as in JB? Part of the contact picture appears only?

I had the N5 a few days with the same issue so at least in 4.4 the bug is still present.
This is the 4.3 Phone.apk, don't try this in Kitkat

Thanks, I asked because I have not rooted Moto G and I wonder if this would be fixed in 4.4. Not yet my courage to root on my device, but as soon as I'll use your mod.

Thank you,

 

[Psychoferno]

I ended up not asking but need root to make this change?

 

[shaftenberg]

Yes.

 

[ferreinf]

Working fine here...
Thanks

Would you mind modding the Phone.apk for 4.4.2 KitKat?

 

[shaftenberg]

As soon as I have the time to install Kitkat: yes.
But I wait for my official sbf. Next week probably.

Hi can I ask a couple of questions:

1) Does this work on the Moto G XT1033 Dual SIM version

2) Did you compile this from the vanilla Google Android source, or some other method?

Thanks,

-S.

 

[shaftenberg]

1) don't know...
2) I decompiled the deodexed stock app with apktool

 

[eXelero]

managed to solve this issue with GravityBox module in Xposed.

I can confirm it works ok on a Dual SIM XT1033 purchased in Singapore. Thanks.

How did you do this exactly? I would like to do this for an Acer Liquid Z3 as well.

I had a go. I managed to deodex Phone.apk with apktool, and then used baksmali on Phone.odex.

./apktool if f/framework-res.apk

./apktool d Phone.apk Phone

./baksmali -a 18 -x Phone.odex -d f -o Phone/smali

I made the modification but when I tried to repackage I got the following error. Even if I make no modifications I get the same error when trying to build the .apk

./apktool b Phone Phone-deodexed.apk

Have you got gravitybox?

Have you got gravitybox?

Hi and thanks for your fast reply.
No i do not have gravity box (I have no root). Is there any possiblity to install this tweek without any root?

Thanks and regards,

Thanks and regards,

You have two options:
1. Unlock your bootloader, root your phone, install xposed framework and gravitybox module. Gravitybox has possibility to fix call photo.
So, you still able to get OTA
2. Unlock your bootloader, install CWM, flash my patch through CWM.
Now you unable to install any OTA updates when their come. Because of editing system files.
It's up to you

Hi all (and specially S0bes )

Tried your patch...response of my G : "Android update" after install...test from a call, message is "Phone apk ended"...no issue to answer, but ring is the good one for contact but no answer possibility

Here is a short overview of my G's configuration :

Rom : Unofficial carbon rom (still in 4.4.2) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2624111&nocache=1

Kernel : Latest Pink Kernel : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2634745

Full GAPPS with their updates...

I'm using full caller Id Pro...but it's a little bit buggy (nice but not 100%...) Would be nice to switch that

If you'll give me a dialer.apk from your rom I can try to fix photo. But I'm preparing for exams now and I have not so much free time to use my PC (and this damn world cup every night...). So it can take some time
