I wrote this in 30 minutes after working with all of these 4 applications for the past week. It's not complete nor full. But it certainly give a good perspective. Since I wrote it in 30 minutes and I'm in a hurry now, execuse me for typos or spelling mistakes from fast mind-straight-to-the-keyboard typing. lol.
PhonePlus 2
========
PROS:
* Excellent quick one hand 9 dialing mode.
* Integrated with the green button of the phone (BIG BIG plus)
CONS:
* No SMS support (Finger Clix and Extended phone are great)
* No picture of the caller (even though a picture is associated with my PDA2K internal AI app).
* The call hostiry viewer is premitive.
Finger Clix 2
========
PROS:
* SMS Support - When you find a contact, you can click on the big SMS button and it automatically opens the WM2003SE built-in SMS apps with the number there. So it's convenient for SMS sending.
* The SMS that is sent is kept in the Sent items of the built in WM messaging app. So everything is logged (because it uses the built in SMS app)
* Good Caller Photo support - Very nice feature is that the program automatically displays (even during the search) the picture of my contact straight from the internal AI app that comes with the PDA2K. Certainly cool feature. You can easily dial someone even when XXXVING as you see his big picture contact right on the screen, you don't even have to read his name.
* Has a dedicated program for creating skins. This is great.
* Nice Call history with easy switching between outgoing, incoming or missed calls.
* When you get a contact with many pgone numbers, you can choose to make a phone number a 'default' for future uses through the default button,
* The vibrate on tap is a nice feature.
* Nice built-in skin chooser (although I didn't find more than 3 skins out there, but i didn't look hard either)
* Has a button called PLUG-IN which supports internal plugins from software already installed on your PPC (for example: Faxing or easily assigning a photo to the contact you've just selected)
CONS:
* BIG BIG drawback is that it doesn't support my PDA2K green phone cutton! Even when in the app, to dial, you still have to use the on screen phone button. This is a pitty.
* I didn't like the fact that switching between ABC and numbers requires 2 presses, one to go to a selection screen and another to select the righ input type method.
* The human engineering is good, but can be better. For example, when I see a contact on the screen already, I would rather prefer to access the plugins button right from the screen and not have to press the contact info button on the left first.
* Clicking to go to the contacts app, only support the built in premitive pocket outlook contact app and does not support programs such as Pocket Informant or Agena Fusion.
Extended Phone 2.50
===========
PROS:
* Screen displays by default the last call, it's time start/end and duration. Also has 'Hide Call' button to hide it. It also displays the GSM provider you're connected to.
* Easy SMS sending with customizable keyboard for quick entry. BIG SMS buttons make it very easy. Overall very good human engineering here.
* Nice button locks the dialer though not very useful as hardware keys are not locked.
CONS:
* No support for photos (finger clix is great in this regard - that it supports photos from the itnernal pda2k app).
* Does NOT support the green answer button on my PDA2K (BIG DRAWBACK)
IntelliDial
========
Not much to say, except that PhonePlus2, FingerClix2 and Extended Phone all beats this program easily. it's worth mentioning the badly designed small window that automatically searches as you tap (the 9method) And of course the plus that it integrates with the green button (actually it is the green button..)
MY OWN CONCLUSION:
===============
Keep in mind this review isn't thorough or accurate, but it's the way I see it after installing all the apps on my machine and playing around with them for the past several days it's just the say I see it.
All of these apps are far from perfect. It's not like they all have the same features just implemented differently. Each of them has it's own features and unfortunately lacks good features from the others. If one was to take and implement all of these features it would make for the perfect dialer.
As for what is the best app among these 4 ? Well, it depands on which
feature is important to each one of us, so it's very individual. Again, the perfect would be a combination of all of them, but unfortunately it's a dream. My choice so far is the FINGER CLIX 2.0 for the more overall benefits than all other programs I've seen so far.
I would like to hear comments from guys here on what their choice is.
And mostly from people who tried ALL of these applications and not just one of them. They would be able to make a better choice and judgmenet.
Assuming one is happy with the default dialler that comes with the phone, is there any app that works with this dialler that allows the assigning of different ring tones to individual callers?
Thanks!

Hi Sorci,
I favor for FingerClix alwell. :lol:
I tried them all and FingerClix doesn't support the green answer button but it is a very stable program. Something I couldn't say from some of the other programs!
Wouter
Thanks for all replies. I guess the other programs are not stable. I just tried this progrm Potala Telly, it's very nice and has great potential. BUT like the other programs, it lacks very very important features, like the QUICK 9DIAL, it is very slow even when no other program is run, and it already crashed once.
for me, I prefer the built-in dialer!
Nothing will fit all your needs
we need one with a speakerphone button

You've probably discovered this already; go to Tools under Phone, look for Options, look under Ring Type.
I would like to hear your ideas for Bada modifications, what things do you want to see done to Bada?
Everything and anything goes! (within reason)
My wishlist.
-
Delete some unneeded "Icons"... because I can remove Facebook, Twitter ...
But few JAVA Midlets are somewhere protected against remove.
I was able to delete jar, jad, Icon but Icon still there in menu
Where is the Database entry to clear?
Preinstalled Widget too...
-
120 Apps Limit...
Hmm, there are other ways to replace ... BUT why 120 Apps are Maximum?
-
Developer signed Apps are only 1 possible to activate...
bada SDK Samples for instance...
Via Broker.exe Install seems more then 1 work at the same time... Why?
And how to expand to install more then 1 App at same time.
-
Filemanager bada App with Access to internal Filesystem.
I'm sure that Samsung will not allow this on their Store... but is it possible.
Someone told their are no APIs to access internal folder...
maybe invetigation of apps_compressed.bin will help to find "Commands"...
-
Folder delete in internal FS
I can create folder with PSAS, but can't delete. They are writeprotected.
More ideas hopefully later...
Best Regards
well for instance i wanna change the keyboard to either htc or iphone.... this one is too crammy like congested.... wanna have a spacious potrait keyboard......... and with universal setting like if i wanna activate predective text it should apply everywhere... not just in messages........ and it should always stay on..........
secondly i wud like to see more UI modifications beyond just themes...... like changing the status bar or the way notifications occur and stuff........... custom roms maybe... variety is a good thing...
I'd like to see:
Ability to create widgets or widget like apps using system parameters..
For eg: GPRS data, browser bookmarks, setting wallpapers etc..
Customization of the top Notification Panel buttons.
Filemanager Drag and Drop to move files and folders
A memory cleanup application.
Big Aspect sized thumbnails for videos.. now we cannot distinguish videos in thumb view.
More Right click options in files/folders - i.e., Click and Hold to show Menu options to Move/Copy/Delete/Rename/Open with/etc..
I'd like to see shortcuts (with names) like on Android and continous autofocus in the video cam !
My ideas or things I want in Bada
Here are my ideas :
1. Ability to replace whole UI like Android.
2. Folders in Menu.
3. Text-reflow in Browser.
5. Unlimited Menu pages and Home screens.
6. Unlimited SMS storage (why you want to restrict us to 1300 on a SMARTPHONE )
7. Sending Group SMS to any number of people (can be very useful for certain type of
businesses. Did u think about it Sammy ?)
8. Auto-hide of Notification bar and Lower bar after certain amount of time or on Tap.
9. Different Wallpapers on every home screen.
10. Better animations.
11. Smaller icons. 4x5 grid with an option to change to suit consumers' taste.
12. Notification Drop down to have buttons for APN, Brightnesss.
13. In-built Backup-Restore app for all phone data. User should be able to select to what he
wants to backup or restore.
14. Highly efficient GPS. (I would not like to buy a BMW whose tires I have to fix. I have
paid for it, btw.)
15. Better Facebook(with chat), Twitter and IM app atleast Gtalk. Current one plainly sucks
16. Various bugs in Messaging to be fixed.
17. Select all and Mark as read option in Email app.
18. Universal availability of Social Hub Premium.
19. A little better sound output through speakers (it is based on personal taste only )
20. Text-reflow and Pinch-to-zoom in Email app.
21. Soft buttons for Menu and Back.
22. All applications to have Exit button.
more to come.................
Out of all these I have already solved 7th but then everybody can't make changes to the file system.
Yes, I do love Bada and its potential. Its simplicity is killing feature
Thanks !
I think user experience would benefit by implementing GPU acceleration in UI and browser as in IOS and Windows phone 7.

Hi all. @TigerCourage on AF I play with the camera settings file "CamSetting.ini" in folder "Registry" can be seen with the program "sTune" (I started some new options "IntelligentAuto" I do not know what does). There is also an option to focus on video recording "RecordFocusMode" from "0" to "2" default "0". Try setting but do backup before (right click and copy).

Hey how you copy a file because the file copied to the phone is only by drag and drop. If you are able to copy my files when you start the camera will see the icon "sA" without restarting the phone. Otherwise the effect of the settings I have attached the file with changed sound of shooting

Yes I copied by drag and drop and I've seen your "sA" icon at the beginning but the continous autofocus is nowhere to be seen...
Is there anyway to save camera shoot images in uncompressed format so that the quality of captured images will be maximum?
I would like to have a "fast-access" GPS button - next to the mute button ("green" menu). I'm really sure that this function will be very popular!

about ur 7 th point (group sms to any no. of people).. this can be done using stune... jst modify the ini of messages settings there the limit is set to 10.. i dont remember the exact folder

I would like to have more keyboard languages (with T9 or whatever it's called on the Wave).
I have seen a friend of mine with a Wave from Vodafone, and he has 30+ langage/keyboard optinons. On my wave (normal German FW) I have about 10. No Cyrillic characters, no Chinese, no Arabian...
How am I supposed to use the full functionality of such a wonderful phone if i can't write an email to a friend /business associate in Russia for example.
I could grump about it a few more pages, but the essence should already be clear
P.S. AFAIK the languages are stored in the CSC flash file, so it's not so easy to "just add" some in, but I hope someone from samsung might also see this and think about it.
Android.=D
If i where a moderator or administrator i would ban that guy for inciting flame wars...
Hi All,
Have a Touch Pro 2, I think I need to flash my ROM as having some small issues right now (won't go into power save, just dims the screen. Keep getting data call disconnect messages even though I can browse web just fine)
On Verizon.
I would just install the standard MR3 ROM except for one problem - I HATE the Sense interface - I use the 6.1 interface for everything (on 6.5). From what I understand MR 2 and 3 remove the old fashioned 6.1 today screen.
My needs are pretty simple:
-The 6.1 style today screen
-Microsoft reader
-Opera browser
-POP email
-Active sync/direct push email (for work)
-Goggle Maps with GPS (been using Quick GPS)
-WiFi sharing (a big reason I'm not upgrading to Win7 or Driod)
-media player for the occasional podcast (downloaded with Opera)
-BattClock (great little battery bar add on)
-Awesome Start to get rid of the ridiculous honeycomb menu
-as a phone.
That's about it - I do use the built in zoom bar which works with the version of Opera in the ROM.
Is there a better ROM for me than MR1?
A final question - Can I unlock the phone and install just the radio update from MR3 without mucking up anything? Trying to get the 'fixs' of the ;atter MR's without the stupid restriction on the interface.
Thanks in advance!
hey guys.
this is one of my favorite apps. I've been running it since I had an 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.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCtXHmIasyQ
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.
