I seem to remember reading a post but cannot seem to find the info now that I need it. I would like a program that will allow me to setup different notifications for SMS based on who they come from. Like assigned ringtones for phone callers. Anyone know of an app that will do this I would be grateful to hear from you.
Thanks.
Hi all,
Does anyone know if it is possible to log all the calls that have been made and make them show up on the calander? I saw someone with a mac that had an app that did a similar thing.
Any help appreciated!
Here it is:
Called Call Calendar. I use it and love it. Warning, though: if you make/receive lots of calls, it makes for LOTS of entries in your calendar. But it's pretty cool

Thanks for that, I gave that a go... I installed the cab but how do I configure it/get it to work? It didnt create a program icon or anything and if I execute it from inside the program files folder it doesn't seem to do anything.
Never mind got it work...just needed to reset and make a call.
Many thanks!
Can I arrange the contacts in the favorites list in my own way or is it only possible to get it alphabetically?
/Carl
I would like to know that too.
But i doubt we can re-arrange them....too bad
Google on Contact Changer v1.3
or dowload at: http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Business/Address-book/Contact-Changer-56806.shtml
Doesn't that just change their display name not their display order?
Anyone else that might know a solution?
Hey guys,
I am currently struggling with tasker. I have made a dozen of trials myself but can't get it to work so far.
I want the following to happen.
Whenever someone texts me, tasker checks if the contact is added or not (pretty easy: Does the contact have a name or just a number starting wiht a '+' sign?)
If the contact is a number, then auto add him to my contact list and name him for example "a".
How can I do it? Either everytime someone new texts me or I want to fire up whatsapp and then let tasker go thru my whole conversation list and add people that are not added yet
Hello guys,
I was looking for kids mode like the one from Samsung. Unfortunately my kid's phone is not samsung and i wasnt able to port the application to work on Sony Device.
The main reason for this is that they had a Dialer application for kids which shows no phone number but ONLY the name of the mother/father contacts while calling. I want to use this function to make the phone more secure in case is stolen or robbed. As well it offers to block any other incoming calls except the selected ones.
@ktmom suggested me to try with a Tasker. I've never been experience a similar software for this kind of things.
Could you please gimme some advices or help regarding my needs and suggest me from where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ho [emoji16]
The plan I would start with is to create a shortcut on the desktop or a notification with call mom (or dad) buttons. Then use tasker to directly dial the numbers (as variables) without having them entered into the phone's contacts.
The trick is the dialer history will keep a history of called numbers, but I think that can be deleted; though we may need one or two plugins to tasker to achieve that reliably.
If this is in line with your goals, then I'll be happy to create a task or two to handle this that you can import. That is easier than teething to develop it yourself as a beginner.
I'm at the airport waiting for my daughter's flight, but let me know if this will work, or any ideas you have.
Sure, let's do it like that with your help. And in the process of developing we can sharpen it.
BTW thank you so much for your help and patience. I do really appreciate your help. ????
I actually just got home. Is there a timeframe for this? I'm thinking Christmas or similar. Otherwise I'll spend some time this weekend to come up with something for you.
This is just a basic set of tasks to create quick dialers to Mom and Dad, without needing the numbers to have been entered into the contacts app.
One task, "create shortcuts", sets two of Tasker's quick setting tiles. One will call Dad, the other will call Mom. The use of the quick settings tiles should help prevent accidental calls and still be convenient.
After importing the linked project, go to the device's quick settings editor and drag the first two Tasker tiles into the active area. The tasks won't actually appear set to the tiles until they are in the active area.
The task, "create shortcuts" should run on import of this project, performing the configuration mentioned above; associating the tiles with the "call mom" and "call dad" tasks.
The icons are set in the respective "call mom" or "call dad" task. To change the icon, enter the task then tap the icon at the bottom and select a new one. The "create shortcuts" task may need to be run again (manually) to update the tile's icon.
You must go to the "dialer" task and edit the value in the "To" field within the first two actions to the appropriate phone numbers.
The left facing arrow at the top left of the screen exits out of the task and saves the changes. You should also make a habit of tapping the checkmark [emoji736] at the top of the screen after saving a task, which saves the changes to Tasker. That checkmark is available only when there are changes to be saved.
This is just a start, hoping to get feedback if this is the right direction for you.

Hey,
thanks a lot for the time you spent for this.
I've tested it and it calls with no issues.
Now we have to make the phone numbers to disappear. Can we put a fixed custom title? This is because it uses the name written in the contact list.
BTW is there an option to drop an icon on the desktop of the phone?
Thanks again for your great help!

Yes, we can create a desktop shortcut. Instead of the tiles?
What do you mean "it uses the name in the contact list"? Do you mean in the call history?
I meant that when I run the call from the tasker it uses the name from the contact book/history. This is not big issue, but it just wondering if it's possible.
Thank you

That is the relationship the phone app has with the contact app. You have to remove the names from the contact app.
I'm confused. I thought the goal here is to obfuscate the phone numbers so if the phone is picked up by a "stranger", the numbers are not evident.
If I was, for example, a stalker, and I took the child's phone to get phone numbers, the first place I would look is in the contacts app. The second place is in the call log. Can you help me understand what is and isn't necessary here.
To create the task to remove the call's history from the history, I have to sort out the contentrovider structure for the phone database. I've explored the text messaging DB, but I need to be on my computer to find the phone DB structure.
