[UPDATED!] City AND State of Area Code on Incoming Call Screen [VZW Support Added!]

Since I'm using S2U2's caller ID screen, it appears this cab is not working.

That is to be expected. This only works with default HTC dialers that show the caller location.

I am not trying to be rude...but could you explain everything I need to make this work. I must be missing something.

Thanks,

Just install the cab. The XML does the magic for you

Yeah, I fully expected it. Wasn't complaining. It did work on my Tilt 2 for the few days before I installed S2U2. I haven't removed it in case I decide to stop using the S2U2 caller ID function. Thanks for the work.=D>

No problem. If S2U2 adds that functionality, I'd imagine it would look at the same reg entries for the data. But I doubt that's on the top of the developer's to-do list :P

Exactly why I might stop using it. The stock dialer presents a fairly good-sized caller ID pic, unlike the LG Incite I was using that gave you a teeny-tiny pic that was nearly useless.

2. I spoofed my phone number to get the examples pictured below. The (710) area code is reserved for government use ONLY [so I hope I didn't dig my own grave my spoofing my number to that!]
3. As you know, an area code can cover a massive number of cities. I used the most recent area code database, which listed every city covered by the area code. Within each area code, the largest metropolitan cities were indicated. I mapped the coverage of the area code and selected the most central of the major cities. Therefore the reported location gives a general idea of where the number originates from.
4. I am receiving reports from many VZW ROM users that the location information is not shown on the incoming call screen. Please see below for a fix.

I skimmed over the list a few times to check for spelling mistakes/typos, but it is possible that I missed something. If you get an incoming call and, for example, it says "Toldeo, Ohio" instead of "Toledo, Ohio", or perhaps the location information is too long and therefore cutoff the screen, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! I will update the tweak to ensure the mistake is corrected.

[For any Texas A&M Aggie fans, a user requested a tweak to the 979 area code, which I have posted here.]

ok and?

I was just saying that I don't like the wide range, not narrow enough for me. I don't need you to quote something I have already seen.

Once again, I gave thanks for the hard work put into this, its just not for me.
