Hi Folks:
I am a developer and developed a contact widget that could put all your contacts on your homescreen, and bring up the QuickContact dialog when user click a contact. The app has a free already available on the Goolge Play Store for a long time. The source code is availalbe on Github.
My widget is welcomed by most of users, however got some serious problems on Sony Xperia devices. The QuickContact dialog seems not poping up and freezes user's homescreen untill they hit the Back button.This is the line for bringining up the Quick Contact dialog for a particular contact:
QuickContact.showQuickContact(context, intent.getSourceBounds(), uri, ContactsContract.QuickContact.MODE_SMALL, null);
I noticed that Sony UI does have a similar QuickContact dialog and wondering how I could use that?

do u see that section?
/and about xperia's problem : add new widget to homescreen and then choose contact, select which contact u want to see in the homescreen
and done!

wrong thread dude
Moved to Q&A
I will really appreciate if anyone could provide some help here
Hey, I found the solution.
you get the contactUri wrong in your ContactAccessor.java, you use: Uri contactUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId);
what works for me: Uri contactUri = ContactsContract.Contacts.getLookupUri(context.getContentResolver(), ContentUris.withAppendedId(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI, contactId));
Btw, your code was great help for me, thank you for that!

Thanks so much for the help! I have made the changes according to your suggestion: https://github.com/yuyang226/ContactsWidgetICS/commit/40820b9d49eff16b06050f3c1614c2911f429dbf.
I have also build a binary apk for anyone to try it out: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6712710/ContactsWidgetICS.apk.
Finally, may I know which Xperia device you are using and which Android version are you using? I will publish this build to Play store if it works.
Looks like the previous change not working for Samsung Touchwiz, and I have made further changes to fix that problem: https://github.com/yuyang226/ContactsWidgetICS/commit/822127ccf504b397fb747faedbac92a0ce42a5d6
Please try this build instead: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/6712710/ContactsWidgetICS.apk

Hey I haven't tested your app, I'm just using the same approach The original code worked on nexus7,nexus S, sony tipo, but it wasn't working on the sony sola.
The one I wrote worked on all four, I only have these devices right now. I'll test this, because my app uses the quickcontact too, and I would like it work on all the devices.
It seems to me, problem is, that non-stock devices use the contactUri somehow differently. Will test it, and report back!

Thank you buddy! Just let me know after you test my build. It is a shame for Sony that they changed the way how QuickContact dialog works.

Your version works on the sony sola, tipo, nexus7 and nexus S. So, touch wiz needs some extra love too...that's just great...
I don't know why they are doing this, but it's a pain in the a$$. Anyway, I hope this works now on all the rest of the devices!
Thx for making your code available!! As I said, it was a great starting point
edit: forget to say the android version: sola and tipo run on 4.04, nexus 7 on the latest 4.2, and nexus s on 4.1

thanks for the test report, and my app can finally support Sony devices!
Hi,
looking to this image in attachment, seems that new Z3 compact has a new home with more large icons (or it's due to display size +0.3 inches?)
I have this impression...
And again,
when it's available, someone can upload new wallpaper?
Thanks in advance

take a look at Z3 or Z1 or Z themes and apps section
that is for Z3, we were asking for Z3C as no extra resolution mods needed, both are 720p displays, regardless of their physical size
Thread about Wallpaper was opened here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/themes-apps/wallpapers-xperia-z3-stock-wallpapers-t2867515
are good even for our Z1C...
Thanks to JanM RS (myth) about his fast answer!!

Hello all,
I was hoping someone can assist with acquiring this theme so I can add it to my non xperia phone. This theme is based on the Dark Souls series and is for Japanese Xperia phones only. But, I've come to the best community to help me out to get it to my non xperia phone.

It would help if u tell us the brand of your non xperia phone, a bit.
And I say a bit, because it's most likely not possible since u need to port the whole xperia framework to apply xperia themes.
Another option is to contact the Dev and ask if u can use his theme as a base for a theme designed for your non xperia phone, but be aware that it is gonna eat up all of your free time to make it work on your non xperia device.

I have a japanese account.I will download and upload it since it's free
Update :here is the link.if anyone needs another app from japanese store just pm me

I really like my mi band 4, bought it from xiaomi official shop in Budapest for equivalent of 35$ and I have found the price phenomenal for the features.
I liked the way we can change watche faces but it will be awesome if xiaomi or any dev can release an editor on android so we can customise on the go by making our own designs.
There is a tool on PC but it's not easy to use.
As this band is relatively new I still hope such easy editors will come on android
Technically it's probably possible, but I doubt that anyone will bother. It's just too cumbersome to create a WF on a phone. For a simple custom watch face (different background picture) you can already use Mi Fit or Notify & Fitness. For anything more complicated just boot up your PC and do the magic there.
Btw. not sure which tool you have in mind, but I doubt that there can be anything more simple (yet offering all the possible features) than this https://amazfitwatchfaces.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=29&t=890
