3.5 Contacts/SmartDialer working

[sfaure03]

Note:

I just loaded a rom with smartdialer working AND the contacts button AND ##codes working.

I still need to do some considerable testing. However if you will all just be patitent I will share all, and explain what I did etc. Remember, took me a couple hours to post corrections for the USB, and it was a full share. stay with me. I think I might have this.

I will also work with IMCokeman to release a newer base kitchen that includes the changes, assuming they dont generate more problems.

!!!!!!!!! YEA !!!!!!!!!

EDIT:

Assuming the latest build worked, i will post a rom image shortly for testing.. Waiting on the boot now. My intent here is for those who can to test these 3 functionalities agains a BASE 3.5 rom (The one we released right after fixing USB). This test phase is to check whether the phone is STABLE, while providing these 3 functionalities. You're help in testing against those items is/will be appreciated. However this is NOT a rom to cross test all the other jillion possible combinations implementations. This rom will ONLY have TotalCommander and the smart dialer loaded to it {cause the whole phone is useless w/o Total Commander}. Ok.. The boot just finished.. be back in a few.

4:19CST: YEP.. It worked.. wrapping for others to test momentarily....

4:29CST: Ok.. Its there in my directory. appropriately named. I'm looking for testing while i drive home.

4:41CST: Be aware, the rom posted comes pre-setup for Sprint. Verizon will have to wait until we base kitchen this. You do NOT need to load any sprint specific cabs on the one i posted.


Patience is a virtue.

That is outstanding! I knew one of you guys would figure it out!

Oh sweet nectar of life! BOO-YA!

Waiting patiently...trying to contain excitement...

OMG you have to post the details NOW NOW NOW

Yeah - ok, not really.

+1 for the success, take your time posting it. I think I am in the ballpark for the bluetooth stuff if we can track down the missing bits from the kitchen as well.

Thats awesome...I'll second (or whatever number i happend to be) the thanks for all the hard/good work..

Hopefully this fix will be final... What are the other issues keeping 3.5 from being bug free, other than the lack of a bluetooth dun profile???

I hope this means I can load my contacts from pre-AKU 3.x, currently I my contacts are blank b/c I get tried of loading them after each flash. Otherwise great work, I'll sit by the computer or the PPC(woww EVDO) and wait for my WOW to start now!

Just out of curiousity why is the smartdialer so important fo all of you? I found it intrusive as it would cover the screen when using the dialpad say when entering extension or CC numbers or the like. I do all my calling with voice command and never really saw the need for it. Is there a feature or aspect I am missing form it?

Also what is the change "contact button" as in what button and what was it not doing in other roms?

Good job on the solution BTW, this is in no means a put down for the fix, just figured it would be a grat place to ask these questions as it will most likley be read by a lot of people wanting these

You can NOT use the PIM volume from pre 3.x releases. You have to refresh them from an exchange server. Thats allready been addressed on the entire 3.x release line.

I personally love the smart dial. I'm just starting to use VC, but as of now the smart dial option is how i dial all of my contacts.
