hey guys.
this is one of my favorite apps. I've been running it since I had my Evo 3D nearly two years ago...and i'm still running it on the Note II. I thought some of you may be interested.
this is a themed, modded version of Video Caller Id (Free)
What I did was theme most of the image files to match the JellyBomb black/ICS blue look. Even now that I don't have JellyBomb I still love the look. I also made a few .xml changes so the layout of the information on the screen is a little better than the original.
YOUTUBE VIDEO
here is a YouTube video showing the app, the settings and some of the video ringtones i'm also including in this thread.

INSTRUCTIONS
Code:
To Install:
Copy VideoCallerID.apk to /system/app/
Set permissions to RW-R--R--
Reboot. Enjoy.
---
Recommended Settings:
Activate the service = checked
Float video-view = unchecked
Use monitoring = checked
Opening delay option = 100ms (for Note II), 400ms (for S3), increase if the app doesn't start up when you get a call.
Ringer view = customize to your liking, I have all checked
Sound
- Video without sound = to your liking, I have it unchecked
- Maximum volume = to your liking, I have it checked
- Mute ringtone = unchecked (and set your ringtone on the phone's settings to silent, this works much better than having the app mute the ringtone for you)
- Say contact name = to your liking, I have it unchecked
---
How to use:
When you open the app, you see your contacts. You can set individual video ringtones per contact:
- Next to the contact's name, click on the Andy icon with the + sign, and then choose select video file.
- Browse to your video and select it.
- Now you can click on the contact's name and preview and change options for that specific contact
To set system-wide video ringtone:
- Click on the wrench icon on the top right
- Click on Default video
- Choose a default video for all contacts (with the exception of those with custom video ringtones)
- Choose a default video for unknown/blocked callers
- You can also preview whatever video is already set by pressing on the icon for that video.

Quick question max does it only use one ringtone or does it play the contacts custom tone as well. And I wonder if it can be tweaked to work on my evo as while

It works as the original did. You can set videon ringtones for each contact and a general one.
All I have done are aesthetic changes.

So when answering do u still have to answer the call twice? Like if u slide to answer or decline, does the default answer screen POP up next and u have to answer or decline the call again?

No? I never had that issue...I think it may be a side effect from the opening delay setting under the options. I have mine set to 0 and I can answer and decline calls just by using the app.

Can anyone else confirm that u don't have to answer twice. I've had the pay for version of this app, damn near since it came out, and I've always had to answer twice. I wonder is the widget locker app that ur using changing this. I've tried changing the delay to 0ms, and I still have to answer twice. I haven't tried out this "revised version" because u said u just changed the aesthetics. But if i get more confirmation, that this is working, I'll definitely give it a try.

Exactly. I asked as well and the op said that u don't have to answer twice to accept calls. I too have the paid version. I'm about to try this and see what happens. I also have widget locker so I'll see what happens and post my results.
Edit: okay so after doing some testing with the app. I can confirm that u still have to answer the call twice. Even with widget locker it doesn't seem to override the default ringer. And I couldn't get the android man to play either. I had to pick my own videos that I made myself. Great app but having to slide to answer once and press the accept button again is a little annoying at times.
Sent from my Beastly EVO.. And did I mention it has 3D?
guys I saw the comments here and this issue is also on the market comments.
I have never tried the paid version. using this version, I have no problems.
however, I don't have the rosie sense installed. I use Widgetlocker and Launcherpro. I use easywake on widgetlocker so the htc lockscreen is disabled.
my settings in the video caller app are as follows:
Activate service = checked
Use monitoring = checked
Opening delay option = 0 ms
video without sound = unchecked
maximum volume = checked
mute ringtone = checked
Under ringer view I have:
all options checked except "swipe to answer" and "use hardware buttons"
----
I don't know if this will make any difference for you. as I said, the app works flawlessly for me. hope it works well for you too.
please let me know if it works.
MAN THIS IS AWESOME, hella funny i got a dancing droid now lol....
EDIT 1: i don't have to answer twice on my evo 3d..... just saying works flawless

First off this is not my app. I went back to the vibrant for a bit and found this. It works perfect on the MT4G so I figured I'd show it to you guys.
It was made by avdaga and his original thread is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=918945
Pretty much it's what the 3D gallery should do. Not just sway the pictures when you move the phone but actually scroll through them.
*If you have the aosp 3D gallery installed already you'll need to uninstall it before installing this one.
Heres the original post:

Hi there,
For a school project I have modified the Gallery3D application to enable scrolling, zooming etc by using the accelerometer.
I have made a short demonstration which can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2xYkblRYPcY
The mod is based on CyanogenMod-android_packages_apps_Gallery3D-a63279d.
It would be very cool to use scrolling for the selection of pictures within the album grid, so one could open/close the picture by shaking... However, the sourcecode was not so well documented and we couldn't find some functions that would help us implementing this... I must note, the source contains 50+ classes, we have only looked into a few.
For installation instruction check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=752007
Current Functionality added
VolDown: en/disable motion (disabled by default)
Gallery:
● Scroll by tilting
● Reset to first by shaking
Image view:
● Next/Prev by tilting L/R
● Zoom in/out by tilting U/D
● Reset zoom by shaking
With some help I hope to add the following in the future:
● In grid mode: Select center image
● In grid mode: Open image by shaking
● In grid mode: Prevent scrolling out of the grid range
● In picture mode: return to album by shaking
● In picture mode: initialize zooming at current tilt angle, and zoom from there by holding an overlay button (next to the zoomin/zoomout overlay buttons)
If anyone could help me a hand with the image selection, e.g. by giving me a direction where to find functions for this, I'd be very greatfull!
I'm wondering what you think about it, your questions/remarks are very welcome

oh and on a side note I never saw you post those icons i sent you... i couldnt remember if you asked me to just send you links straight to the flashables though lol sometimes I just lost in piles of msgs

I dont remember ever getting the icons, I was just thinking about that yesterday. Maybe I missed the PM or something. I will have to go back and look. I was just playing with my buddies Vibrant. He just put the Froyo update on and was wondering if the lag fix would work. it is so laggy compared to the Glacier. I couldn't believe it. I didnt think his screen seemed much better than mine (good screen) and his seemed kinda color tinted. I dont watch movies or anything like that, I am sure there is a big difference there. I probably couldnt watch a movie on it anyways, that would require me not messing with it for like 2 hours and that aint happening. lol
Hey I saw you were making a zip for that guy in the other thread with the batt icons...YOU ROCK PACK!!! Thanks for everything!!!
Ha...when I posted this you had posted 420 times....I guess I know what I have to do!!
ill resend em to ya... no big deal... I always lose stuff in the ridicules number of messages i have lol
side note: lol after I saw your post I tried not to make another for a while because of that (and i dont even smoke anymore lol) just though it was funny as hell... I didn't notice until you posted that...
Thanks pack works great!!

The reason for that is because it is made from the original gallery app. So when you try to install it your device thinks your installing a duplicate application and denies it.

Pleae read the whole op - lots of good info - flashable zip packages below - The undo zip flashes back sounds from Frost, but no matter what you are using, you will just be replacing system sounds. I built this for Frost, try on others at your own risk.
I worked hard on this, spent a good bit of time editing and properly maximizing sound to increase clarity and reduce audio clutter - if you are going to use these sounds for something, at least credit me...
First of all credit goes to xtone for inspiring to do this with his Linda mod, and I am glad to finally give something to the community that has helped me so much. Thanks also to Team Whiskey who has breathed new life into my phone, you guys rule!
If you installed another theme on top of your rom it may have changed your compatability by changing sounds or the way they are called for. I am only supporting the rom/theme that I am using. Really, you probably wont cause the apocalypse, you are just overwriting audio files with different audio files that have the same name so they are called for correctly.
Confirmed also working on:
Simply Honey 2.4 - all sounds - Thanks takev215!
Bionix Frost/ update 1/ update 2- all sounds - since release - Thanks Me!
Bionix V 1.3 - all sounds (low playback on unlock sound) - since release - Thanks willsnews! Confirmed on 1.3.1 - 3/1/11 - Thanks Shaul305!
Bionix V 1.2.1 - all sounds (low playback on unlock sound) - since release - Thanks Me!
Axura 2.3.1 - all sounds - 2/21/11 - Thanks jrathbun27!
Trigger version ? - all sounds - Thanks stncldtex! Trigger 2.7 - 3/6/11 - all sounds - Thanks t4runner13!
Changelog
Final - 3/19/11
File now attached to post, 2.0 revert still works. Links at the bottom.
Added requests for calendar, weather, and XDA notifications. Enjoy it jangst123!
Removed call dropped sound because it sometimes is called for when you hang up, or someone hangs up before you.
The 5 on the dialer is not terrible, and although it annoyed me, it is not being changed. Too much work would go into it, and I would have to edit all the sounds to match in the dialer.
Last update. Next will be a seperate post for a version compatible with CM7. Have fun with it...
Project Linda 2.0 - 2/28/11
New post for revamped version.
Changed name to Project Linda instead of being rom specific, because of various rom compatability reported.
Many sounds changed for better phonetics and cadence.
All sounds compressed and maximized to -0.1db, and a touch of reverb added to make it pop - resulting in much louder, clearer sounds.
Shutdown sound edited to playback slower toward the end and sound like Linda is actually shutting down.
Bionix V 1.3 - 2/26/11 - The low playback on the unlock sound still exists in Bionix V 1.3
Re-added sounds for additional lockscreens - unlock works for puzzle, glass, and epic only.
Ringtones and notifications now flash to system, so they will not show up as media files in your media player anymore...
Frost - 2/24/11
Cleaned up and changed op.
Now packaged in flashable zip, also a revert zip is available.
Added call dropped sound "Communications failure - call dropped"
Added error message by request "My logic is undeniable" - Enjoy it willsnews!
Removed other lock screen sounds since Frost lock is AOSP only.
Low playback on the unlock sound has been fixed in Frost. Nothing has been fixed with the files, the rom itself has fixed the playback issue. Issue remains in all other roms that had the problem.
1.1 - 2/21/11
Fixed typo in one of the low battery sounds causing it to not work
Changed "Linda Notification" name to "Linda Message" to accomodate the addition of new sounds
Added individual notifications for email, im, and voicemail
Added cool shutdown sound in the battery and charging folder(It's a surprise, at least I think it is cool...)
1.0 - 2/20/11 - First release
First of all credit goes to xtone for inspiring to do this with his Linda mod, and I am glad to finally give something to the community that has helped me so much. Thanks also to Team Whiskey who has breathed new life into my phone, you guys rule!
This is an almost complete "Audio Theme" of Linda replacing many system sounds with her voice.
The following sounds are included, and some were kind of tricky getting the cadence and phonetics correct...
Dialer - all numbers are spoken , star says "Star", pound says "Pound" 0 says "Zero" Obviously, audible touch tones must be enabled in sound settings.
Locking and unlocking - Lock says "Lock engaged" every time. Unlock says "Lock disengaged" ONLY on the puzzle, glass, and epic unlocks. Obviously, screen lock sounds must be enabled in settings.
Battery and charging - Plugging in the charger says "External power source detected, battery charging initiated." I know it is different from xtones, it was my personal preference. I made these for myself and decided to share them. A low battery will say "Battery level critical, please connect external power source"
Ringtones and notifications - The Linda ringtone says "Incoming cellular transmission, please initialize communications" a delay has been placed in the beginning so it does not get chopped off by the ascending ringtone crap. The notification says "A new message has arrived"
Installation instructions - Put file on root of sd card and flash in recovery. The revert replaces the sounds back from Frost. The notifications and the ringtone though, you will have to remove on your own. If you don't like them, just dont select them. The amount of space they take up is extremely small.
Download revert - http://www.mediafire.com/?lvuazv2fqua35dv
Have fun!
I love it it's great star field live wallpaper+ glass theme+ linda audio theme loving the look and sounds of my phone !

Okay I found a way to be enable the camera shutter option on the camera app. You have to be rooted and I used root explorer.
1.) Open root explorer
2.) go to System folder
3.) Enable R/W ability
4.) Hold down on build.prop and open in text editor mode
5.) Look for 'ro.media.capture.shuttertone' without quotes
6.) It will say 0 change it to 1
7.) Click the menu button and choose save and exit.
8.) Reboot - not sure if you need to, but I did.
9.) Open the camera app and click menu, settings.
10.) You will now have the option to enable or disable the shutter sound.
Pics provided. Please thank me if this is helpful.
Side note, there are a lot of options in the build prop, but the interesting part is there is a whole section for LTE settings, and it keeps refering to verizon wireless at least thats what I think VZW stands for.
It worked. for some reason when I first had my phone it made the shutter sound. Than somehow it went away. Now I applid your fix and I can enable it or disable it. Thanks.
Simply brilliant.
I've also noticed a ro.camcorder.videoModes=false parameter. Wonder what that does if set to true.
It requires a reboot, but it works really well. There are quite a few options in build.prop. Wonder if there are any other tweaks.

Makes sense that they were disabled then.
But the shutter sound option was a great find. Never understood why camera phones needed that. There is no shutter so why does there need to be a fake sound? I know some old schoolers might like it and I don't mind it as an option, but why remove the option to enable/disable it. Stupid motoblur.

Re: the shutter sound is actually a requirement in many states (lot of creepers out there to keep up w/ evolving technology, i guess lol).
Re: add'l build prop tweaks I've found so far -
1) LCD Density setting *ro.sf.lcd_density"* (default is 240, you can go as low as 200 w/o causing conflict w/ system apps)
2) dalvik.vm.heapsize_48m (default is 48, can set as high as 64 w/o causing conflict w/ system apps, and as low as 32m). I'd personally leave this setting alone until development on this progresses, not sure how much of an impact this would have w/ stock kernel and other configurations. I put it @ 64m and ran w/ it for a few hours and noticed no significant improvements.
Awesome directions - worked great on my phone - LOVE the no sound click. So easy a newb can do it!

Ugh, stupid politicians making stupid unenforceable policies. Don't they have better things to deal with.
A determined pervert could simply do this hack or tape over the speaker with a thick cloth (like velour).
On the other hand, being able to turn off the shutter sounds have many very legit purposes. I personally use my camera to take pictures of notes during conferences and to take pictures of books in the library. Also, when I did community theatre, I would take pictures of my audio patchbay so I could check my hookups whenever we needed to change mics for whatever reason backstage during the show.
Thank you. Much better fix than "disable STREAM_SYSTEM_ENFORCED" solution.
Anyway to disable the beep sound and vibrate whenever I power down my phone?
Thinking of making a rom. Based on cm7. (NO BLUR CRAP!) I like features of a lot of roms but HATE all the god awful theme crap people put on everything like these battery circles and all the ****ty looking mish mash of crap. I want my phone to look Android. Not like a ricer Honda.
So:
What features would you like to see in a rom?
What are you favorite features that you commonly use but don't see in a rom that looks good?
Keep in mind this will most likely be cm7 based with a lot if extras....

I love cm7 beta but here's what I'd like to see changed:
1. Push button to answer phone instead of swipe to unlock, or at least a settings to choose either.
2. a better 1% batter indicator, as of now, cm7 has the number next to a small green bar, I'd like to see the number inside a battery icon.
3. email client is weak, especially direct dial from email. Currently can't direct dial number included in header. This sucks for business users
4. a cleaner sms user interface. why do I have the droidbot in every text I send, would like to see it streamlined.
5. Vlingo assistant is years ahead of google voice search and should be used as the default voice search.
6. Keep Theme Chooser and all mods under Cyanogen Settings.
Thats all I can think of now but will add more later if I think of any.
MIUI?

I know it's asking for a lot but the only thing I want in any ROM is working hdmi mirroring. Just a suggestion

I like:
The lower auto screen brightness tweak that was added into Homebase.
End call widget on homescreen or hold down a capacitive button at the bottom.
I like the toggles in the status bar for wifi and stuff but wish the status bar was about and inch with toggles and maybe end call toggle visible instead of having to slide it down.
Tap to unlock or tap to answer.
Disable data/wifi option on screen off.
Maybe I'm just slow but I've noticed a few apps built into this phone that are hidden from the Sense launcher but not when I use the AOSP gingerbread launcher. I've seen Fb Chat, Quick lookup, car mode, mirror, and I'm sure there are others. Does anyone know why these can't be accessed from the Sense launcher? It seems really weird to me haha.
You can access some apps like mirror and car panel if you hit the bottom right search button from any screen and type "mirror", for example. You can then tap on the app there. I believe facebook chat is only available as a widget...
Is there a list of these hidden apps or apps not seen by sense?
I don't know... Good question. It would be great if someone can post them here. I wonder what other goodies they are hiding.

Just do a search in your phone for 'Chat' and you find Fb Chat.
Fb Chat comes up. Open it.
Winning.
The only other one that I saw not mentioned was "SIM Toolkit." When I tried to run it, a message popped up, stating that "SIM Toolkit is not ready."
I have noticed that in both ADWLauncher EX and Launcher Pro Plus, you can put a kinda cool camcorder icon on your home screen but it doesn't show in Sense.

I'm still looking for the answer to this. I just hit search, type fb, and open it.
Then to go back into it, just pull down the notification bar, and tap it again when I need.
I don't even know how to make sure it stays in memory!
The Fb Chat widget put my phone into an infinite bootloop and I had to reset my phone. So I'm not using that thing again.
ya it would be nice to be able to use quick lookup and flashlight in my quicklaunch think on lockscreen
You can use the app Any Cut to make a shortcut. I've also read you can do it with a file explorer. I did it with Any Cut.

Don't know how I've never heard of Any Cut with the thousands of apps I've installed and/or deleted over the years. Great suggestion
