Is it possible to always have screen on when using "My tracks"?
Thanks
sadly, no.
but you can set it in the android settings (the manual way)
or use 3d party app/widget

Hi,
I am trying to set the Phonebook app as my default contacts manager but of course it does not offer that option.
Anyone know whether it is even possible yet or if there is another app that can replace the stock contact manager.
Im really just looking for an easier way of scrolling through my contacts
For example iContact burt edition for windows mobile
i wish i could just find phonebook, its no longer in the market. im assuming it was removed so they could start charging for it.

it's not listed with the featured apps on mine and checking with others on the #android chan, they dont have it either.
Thats odd, I am looking at it right now maybe its because I already have it installed on my phone or because google has damned me for the time being and hasnt allowed me to see paid apps!
the featured apps right now are
Wertago, wikitude, personal safety, imap, klondike, blackjack, brain genius, pro football live, ebay, picsay, shopsavy, telegraph, bluebrush, bonsai blast, myspace.
pm me the apk of it if you would!
I would love to have the phonebook apk back, if anyone could pm me as well.
Here's phonebook app.
Here you go, just rename it back to .apk and install.

dude, you FREAKIN rock !
thank you!
So it cant actually be set as default? maybe in future updates
I think it can not be set as default at this moment. I have searched for this answer a lot, but found nothing.
jus delete your orginal phonebook, back it up first, thats what i did
Where do you find the downloaded apk from the market?
I can't compare to Phonebook, because it's been so long since I've used that app. Acontacts (totally free) is the most full featured contact app on the market IMO, and allows you to set as default when you press the call button. Good call log which can be set default and very responsive dev, as well.
Another one I've recently tried is Easy Dial Pro (ya I know Pro usually means $, but it's free, also). I heard about it in a thread here. Not quite used to it yet, but it seems really good when I played around with it. The call log may be better than aContacts. Again, you can set Easy Dial and Easy Call Log as defaults.
Hope this helped.
When you press the call button it will come up with "Launch using Dialler/Phonebook" tick the "Always use this program for this function" tickbox and select Phonebook.
If that doesn't come up then you have the dialler set as default go into applications > manage applications and then click on dialler, press the clear defaults button.

Anytime you install a new application that can be set as default, you are always prompted for which option you would like until you default it in the checkbox. Last time I tried to clear stock dialer default (user error), there was no option (donut drc63) so I had to un/reinstall my dialer app to get the list back.
I was wondering if there was a one touch lock app. I guess in a way it's similar to the iphone? Just press the widget and the phone's lockscreen engages. I dont want to press the power button all the time. I also have the screen on the quickest time out but sometimes find my phone doing weird things in my pocket lol. I've tried as many apps I could find but none of them seem to fit my needs.
I found one that does what I want but according to the reviews, people have problems with it and can't uninstall it. I dont really wanna take that chance.
Description from appbrain:
Lock Screen Widget
Locks your phone with one click iPhone-style.
Before uninstalling widget make sure to disable admin permissions in Location & security > Select device admin > Lock Screen Widget
So does anyone know of such an app?
Also how does one go about disabling the admin permissions in android 2.1 if I do decide to install the lock screen widget?
Thanks
I've got that installed. Works great. My power button stopped working when I replaced my digitizer.

You quoted the name of the app and instructions for how to use it................. search the market for "Lock Screen Widget" ..............
So I did but did you read the reviews? People can't uninstall it. I dont know about you but I can't find the admin permissions if I do need to uninstall it (obviously our phone doesnt have "location and security" it just has location and security listed separately but no "select device admin"). Maybe I'm looking under the wrong setting? Maybe I should've said I'm looking for something similar...

I installed it and was able to uninstall it as well. The instructions are right on the market page for the widget about disabling it in 'Select Device Administrators', but I have no idea why you wouldn't have that option.
Are you using the stock rom?
Yes I am using the stock rom. I'm guessing the device admin is in froyo.
I guess maybe I should get CM6 lol..
thanks for the info

You can use Tasker to build your own widget for this.

It seems to me that as smartphones are mostly phones, and after that everything else. so i was wondering if there is a mod, app or somesuch that opens my dialer as soon as i unlock my screen, so when i open my phone it automatically opens the dialer. if anyone can recommend some thing like this, it'd be greatly appreciated .
You should take a look at Tasker (look it up on the forums). You can normally create a profile which opens the dialer once the screen turns on.

Hi guys
So, I got one of these 4x global last summer, and I'm very happy with this phone, but I have an issue with the vertical swipe to answer incoming calls
I'm used to the "normal" horizontal swipe from my previous phones (I had some Samsungs, and a couple of Sony's Xperia, still have an old Z1 compact when my 4x runs out of battery), and I just can't get used to this vertical swipe.
I did a search on google play apps for some call screen apps, and installed some 10 or so, but none of them worked well
My phone is running the stock Marshmallow 8.2.18.0 (by the way, it should have been already updated, but the update tool says there's no updates available)
Did any of you had the same issue? How did you solve it?
Regards
Antonio (Portugal)
Olá amigo
You're using MIUI's default phone app? Most of today's phone interface uses vertical swipe to answer calls. There's no setting available to change that from the app itself.
Maybe try to change the phone app, download from play store and see which one is good for you.

Yes man, I did it on MIUI 9 of my brother's. But it didn't help!
I remember on the older models you could get small apps. Is there a way I could get them on this phone?
I'm running omnirom rooted with magisk.
- tried installing the framework however nothing happens.
Thanks

Hi bro as In you know when you press the sqaure button and your recent apps come up there used to be buttons where they would pop up a mini window version of the app for example browser... It would open a mini window that you can move around ontop of the app you're already on.
"Floating apps" I don't want to install 3rd party application
I've attached a screenshot of a 3rd party app but it's exactly like this

That's the free form mode from Android Nougat
The Internet told me something about floatingapps, but as far as I know it got replaced by the split screen in AOSP.

Man that was a good feature. I'll just use the 3rd party app instead.
Thanks again
