I've been trying to install the apk, but it force closes anytime you try to access the contacts app. I like the one from the Captivate because you can swipe the contact name right to call, and left to message directly. I don't like the Fascinates, which shows the text/call buttons when you swipe the contact to the right.
Any ideas out there?
I would also love to have this
I have not seen this, does anyone have a video or a link to a video on the Captivates contacts app?

It works like when you are in the fascinates messaging app. Swipe your finger right on a messaging thread and it place a call, left and it opens a message. On the vibrant it will do this in the contacts app.
Bump.........
The stock contacts app will do this also. Swiping right brings up an envelope and phone for their respective uses.

We're aware but that's not what we want. I want like the Captivate and Vibrant where I swipe right and it places a call and left opens a message.

Correct, this is the functionality I'm looking for. The contacts app on the fascinate is also a nice touch, but its an extra click. I know it may sound picky, but hey, thats why we mod our phones!
This would be awesome, that's one feature I liked about the vibrant.

I assume the one you tried (and kept FCing) was the deodexed version?

I tried taking the Contacts.apk directly from the Vibrant system dump and it didn't do anything but FC so I was thinking maybe I need the odex file also or there was more work to be done to get it running that was beyond my knowledge.
I think the reason behind the FC is because of the missing parameter for the backup assistant which verizon only offers i think. (you need subscription for this)
The swipe action works in the text message thread. Go to your text messages and swipe left or right on a name then it will either go call or text, respective direction.

It was a system dump from the i9000, I also tried the one from the Vibrant like kvaughan did. I haven't been able to find the Contacts.apk from a Captivate dump, I'm actually on vacation this week and I havent been in front of my computer too much to do some real research
OK, I've attached the Contacts.apk and ContactsProvider.apk from the deodexing of the last official (i.e. non-Froyo) Captivate ROM.
I haven't tried it (and am not quite sure what ContactsProvider *does*), so test at your own risk.
I'll take a look at implementing that & see how it goes.
Edit: The slide to call or message is a nice feature. The only issue is that the settings for Contacts.apk has SIM & ATT features. When tapping a contact on the home screen, instead of coming up like a message box (comic style), it just pops up without much kick...
Now Im new to the programing part of all this so correct me if im completely off base or if it would be to difficult. Since the feature does work in the fascinates text messaging. Would it be possible to locate the part of the code in there and implement it into the contacts. I'm not doubting that it would be extremely complex but since it is already on the fascinate it theoretically would work if that part of code could be transfered into the contacts file correct?
For some god-awful reason the Captivate Contacts.apk is dependent on the Yahoo! Stock Widget.
>_>
So you'll need at least that.
No, just use the Mesmerize Contacts. Works great on either DI01 or DJ05.

I was wondering if on a hero build you could remove the MMS.apk and just install something like Chompsms or Handcent, would you still be able to get messages without the original messaging app sitting in the background?

What I was saying was you can just open up your original messaging app and go to settings and turn off your notification and just what other messaging app you want to use. That way when you get a new message it would just notify chompsms/handcent and not the original one. Then make chompsms/handcent your default. I would do it that way so you still got the original on there but use whichever one you want. You never know if you'll run into a problem and need the original one for a back up. I hope that makes sense, I know I was rambling.

I already do that on other hero builds and it works okay, but when I get a new text I open up cleanoid (or whatever other taskkiller I feel like using) it always shows the original messaging app as a running process and I would like to completely eliminate that so I can reduce as much memory usage as possible and receive all my messages
Ok gotcha. Well I don't have a definite answer and wouldn't want to give you a wrong one, but I would assume you could just remove. Don't know if it would give you any problems down the road. The worst thing that would happen would be to either push the mms.apk back or just reflash a rom.
From what I've been told hope this helps. If you delete the mms.apk your new one will work fine but you will loose the ability to send mms as your other messaging programs still use parts of the original to function properly. You could always try freezing the original mms program with titanium back up that way out of sight out of mind but if you should ever need it again you can just defrost it.
I have been a long time fan of Vlingo for Blackberry and I read that it is now available for Android. I can't seem to find it in the market and I even went to www.vlingo.com/getvlingo. When I pull up the link it opens the market and says that there are no results for my search? Has anyone been able to successfully install this on the N1 running Froyo? If so, please enlighten me on how to do so.
Also, does this new version support Bluetooth voice dial since 2.2 has the ability now? One more thing, I did the build.prop mod to show all protected apps in the Market. Maybe that has something to do with it? If so, how do I revert this as well?

well, considering that voice to text should be available in any field that you are using the stock keyboard (i use swype, so i only turn stock on when i'm in the car), seems like vlingo is worthless
maybe i'm wrong
Thats pretty deceiving, since you can use the built-in android VR to compose emails and txt messages. I've done it many times, and it works great. I also use it to update my facebook status. As far as i can tell, there's really nothing that you CAN'T do with the built in VR, since you can use it anywhere you can use the keyboard.
Just got a reply back from support.

I got the exact same email from them about 5 minutes ago. I was solely interested in BETTER Bluetooth voice dial which they DON'T support at this time... I'm over it!
I suspect it doesn't show up in the market on Froyo devices because Google changed their voice recognition API in Froyo. They'll have to make some changes to the code and compile it with the 2.2 sdk.
I bought the app on my 2.1 Droid. The voice recognition is a lot better than Google's. I can actually use this, talk naturally, and don't have to worry about making corrections after the fact. I've got it mapped to hold on search hardware button, I say "Send an email to John Doe subject look at this message I composed this entire email without using my keyboard". It will ask me to verify the contact and email address I want to send to, let me choose to send with gmail or my exchange account, and insert the subject line and text in the message automatically. It's very slick and makes voice recognition really useful on android.

Read my post above yours. This is what they were referring to.
As far as froyo support, I may be wrong: http://blog.vlingo.com/2010/05/android-22-froyo-support-for-vlingo.html
Bottom line is that as soon as Android Market flips the switch and recognizes the 2.2 OS as an officially released OS, Vlingo will show up as available for download. We'll certainly let you know once Android Market makes the change, and all you Froyo pioneers will be free to download Vlingo at your leisure.

So the only difference is that you can create and send an email without actually opening the Gmail app?
That's still false advertising as you can indeed Compose an email through voice.
If they made a distinction between "open apps using your voice", then it would be correct. But the way they are phrasing it is totally false.
I bought it, mapped it to long-press search button. The very first time I used it, it worked perfectly. "Text Google Weather [my zip code]" and sure enough, Handcent opened and the TXT was 100% correct. That was the only time it worked though. Everything else was close, but enough off I had to manually input something (find the correct contact or change the body of the message). Wasn't very impressed with it at all.

It doesn't unlock the screen. It pops up in front of widget locker instead of waiting for me to unlock it like it does by default. I tried the whole trying to figure it out through installed apps thing too. Even tried finding it before the names changed in running apps list. Not happening.

I have never once said it unlocks the screen. And it never unlocks the phone on any setting. It does turn the screen on by default but I turned that off long ago. the problem is when I turn the screen on sms popup sits on top of the lockscreen with widgetlocker. Widgetlocker has an option but you need the actually system name such as "com.handcent.nextsms" to handcent. I just need that one little line of text to fix this. Just don't know what it is for sms popup.

All you had to do to get that line was navigate to /data/app with root explorer and find SMS popup.
net.everythingandroid.smspopup-1.apk
Its a liveable issue. It doesn't wake the screen at least but I know there has to be a way to figure it out. Its probably not even that hard but I don't know enough about programming or how android works to do so. I've been on vacation since the issue started and getting on a plane home now. Hopefully ill be able to figure it out with a better workspace blah.
Edit: either you posted that while I was typing or im blind. I actually tried that my device just showed smspopup.apk I thank you very much sir.

Is there any way to get the old Droid 2 widgets to work on the Droid 4?
Or maybe I just need an alternative. I found it really handy to use a contact widget, in a 1x1 form. When clicked it would present a list of the known phone numbers for a contact and then dial whichever one was selected.
I don't really like the wide banner favorite contact widget. It's nice, it's just not for me.
If I create a shortcut app action from contacts I get that annoying drop-down menu. It's a row of icons showng call, contact, text, e-mail, chat or navigate. Again, this is a handy thing but not what I'd like.
I just want the old Moto widget. It made it very easy to have a single icon on the home page for a person, but still present a simple drop-down of phone numbers. Very handy when using the phone in the car dock.
So is there a way to use those old widgets on the D4? Or alternatives?

It looks like the closest thing you can do for now is a direct dial for each number, but that looks like it's not what you're looking for because you'd have a separate icon for each number.
If you could find a system dump from a D2 maybe you could add that functionality by installing the correct apk. Not sure though.

Possibly. If you can find the correct .apk on your droid 2, upload it to dropbox, download from dropbox on your D4, then install the apk. I really have NO idea if that would actually work but it might be worth a try.
Or, Bluetooth transfer the file between phones........ or email...
But, those old Motorola apps usually needed every other blur app all working together to work... But good luck

I find the LG dialler requires more finger presses. But I'm coming from the Song Xperia dialler.
New call: Go to dialler. Possibly not on the call tab so click that. Start to type name and some suggests come up. Click on the [v]. Select the person/number to call. And now the bit that annoys me, press the call button. If I click on number why not just call them, why show number and wait for me to press another button?
Call back: So I missed a call. Go to dialler, go to call logs, click on the call I missed. Show the contact details. WTF? So now I click the phone icon and call. Yes I know there is a little call icon but I'm used to clicking a phone number and it dials it. Not have to locate one tenth of the call log line to start a call.
Anyway, I'll get used to it but I do think I have to do more work for simple calls versus other diallers.
Wow. That is as clear and concise an answer as I could ask for. I wish my wife would answer simple questions like that, but I have to ask her twenty follow-up questions just to get an answer to the first one! So, I do see what you mean, and I have found it at least a little annoying myself. I guess I just accepted it as the way it is. Never really thought to look for a different dialer, but by golly it just might be worth a look now. Thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I hope you type much faster than I do, but I use Swype keyboard.
Does the original Dialer needs to be uninstalled first before installing Google-Dialer 3.00?
-> If yes, where to get that original Dialer found and uninstalled?
How about if Google-Dialer will be updated in future to 3.xx?
- Auto-Update or manual update needed?
- Link to webside to be able to always have the latest version installed?

Ive had no issues with this. Been using it for a week or so & has been flawless.
Also been working for me with no issues. Combined with the Google Contacts app and then Calendar, Clock, and Calculator, throw an icon pack into Nova, and I seriously feels like I'm stock. Very very happy.
as soon as i click on the icon i get "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" message.
There are several versions out there. It would be helpful if ya'll would specify which version is or is not working. I am running the 2.05.07_rc4 with no issues. I haven't tried the 3.0 version yet.
