CM10: How to set home screen shortcut to dial a number - Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G

Hi All,
I have CM10 working nicely.
I'd like to be able to have a homescreen shortcut that will dial a phone# without more prompts or clicks. i.e. One button dials the mobile# of a particular contact.
Is there something built-in or a recommended app that can handle that?
Thanks much,
Mark

There is a widget built in called direct dial

Call Log

How Can I keep my call log forever?
I think the default setting I currently have is limited to 500 calls.
Thanx
well I installed an app that upload all my call log to my Google calendar in real time. its brilliant. I created a separate calendar called "my calls" and now I have a permanent complete history of all missed and received calls. its a free app call "call track" or something.
but I don't know if you can extend the built in call log length. mine seems to go back 30 days which makes my list freaking enormous.

Anybody got the apk for CallTrack? Doesn't show in Market for me...
yeah I just double checked and its called "call track", free in the market. I guess it doesn't show up in the market for you? its a great app exactly what would help you.

Call log

Is there any way to remove messages from the call log? I want to able to see sent/received/missed calls without having to scroll through all the texts I've sent that day. None of my previous phones have ever included messages in the call log. It's a bloody nuisance

I believe that's an Android thing. You could always use a custom Dialer and call log app... search the market.
go to logs, press the touchkey in the left and under view by option select ur preferable option..
also, give callLog+ from the market a whirl.
Thanks guys. Can't find callLog+ in the market. Can anyone recommend something similar?

[Q] Samsung Dialer/SMS functions in JB ROM?

On samsung stock roms (froyo/GB) if you ware in contacts/or mms/or phone you could drag your contact and swipe left for making phone call, and swipe right to send message (or maybe it was the other way). Is there an addon to JB ROM which gives you this kind of functionality?
Somebody suggested to install TW, but it only gave me launcher, and i'm using nova and like it. I really miss this feature in JB/ICS roms.
exDialer app from Play Store has these features. Works fine in JB

Yep, I use exdialer, but it have no integration with sms/mms app. but thx for answer
What do you mean no integration? On exDialer contacts, swiping right will call, and swiping left will send sms to the contact.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app
Yes, but on mms apk you can't swipe to make a call, or can you?
No, but tapping on the contact within sms/mms app can allow you to call.
I didn't notice swiping contact within sms/mms will call the contact in GB.

[Q] Always send a single contact direct to voicemail?

I have a Droid Bionic on Verizon running Android 4.0.4. Does anyone know how I can go about sending certain contacts direct to voicemail and vise versa? I've been reading forums all day, talking about a send to voicemail option under the contact, but I can't seem to find that option in my contacts. Does anyone know how can do this for an individual contact without having to call Verizon or use their web page?

I'm using Eclipse and I go to the Contacts App, tape the contact, tap the menu button, then check "All Calls to Voicemail." I'm not sure if it's the same or different on stock Bionic.
Blocker is a free app from the okay store that should work. You can create profiles and blacklists which will take specific actions on calls from specific contacts. Works well for me

Calls Blacklist by Vlad Lee will do something like that to. I seem to remember that the stock contacts app can do that too - but its somewhat hidden and I forget how its done.

It works exactly the same way in stock ICS.

Direct Message widget on Null Rom?

So when I click on the widget it brings me titanium backup for some reason. I think I remember someone posting an apk...maybe a contacts apk that made it work.....anybody recall that?

The preinstalled widget on nulls rom that says "Direct Message"......I can get Direct Call to work but when i press on the direct message widget it takes me to Titanium backup form some reason....
as far as i know, you can't message from gear yet. direct dial do work, but not messaging.
Direct messaging ? I dont recall anything like this..
You sure you didnt have AOSP messages installed or something ? Cause I didnt include anything related to texts/messages..
If i look in my available widgets i also have an option for direct message. When i put it on the desktop with a contact selected it just says "App isn't installed". I'm assuming that direct dial only works if you have gearmanager installed on your phone? I tried to setup a contact and it just shows the dialing screen and doesn't do anything on the phone.

Could be apart of contacts in that case.. must includes a direct message widget also.
The direct dial should work fine, when the gear initiates a call it makes it on the host phone.

I believe it is. There is a direct message and a direct dial widget right next to each other.
I still have the issue where when I select either of them my contacts come up blank. I have contacts on the watch, they just do not show on that widget. They used to.
Any ideas?

I tried the direct dial, worked fine.. make sure you add your contacts to the aosp contacts app in your app drawer it does not pull your contacts from your phone.
Although direct message does not work.. I believe because there is no messaging app installed.
Add to the contacts in my app drawer

Odd post. Didn't mean that...I will try to figure out how to do that. May have been a fluke but I never had to add them. They all just came over...

Yeah i understand what your saying about having not messaging app installed but i thought maybe it would be possible to give you the option to send a predefined message or s voice message. For some reason when I click on it it opens Titanium Backup. not a huge deal just thought it would be cool to click on the widget and send an s voice message or predefined message I had saved

Thats weird man, no idea what could be causing that.. In reality nothing has changed in that department since the last update..
In regards to predefined text replys, I believe there is a APK Samsung have included for this already.. In theory if we could call that popup in a app, perhaps you could select a reply...
Im just spit balling tho, I haven't tested or even looked at it yet.
If you want to see what im talking about create a shortcut using novalauncher to "Select reply".
EDIT: Decided to have a look of the source of the reply apk I mentioned, sadly thats not going to work ! Back to the drawing board.

Your the best F0mey....not a big deal...i was just messing with it and thought it was strange it brought me to titanium backup and then thought how it would be cool if i could send an svoice message or predefined text but its not really a necessity.
