It is awesome. This is such a useful application.

Two comments:

1. Have you considered hosting your project on garage.maemo.org to facilitate both (a) collaborative development; and (b) .install-file-based updates? .deb management is cumbersome....

2. Is it possible to integrate with the Contacts application so that we can use phone numbers stored in the Contacts database? In a perfect world, I'd be able to start GCD from the Contacts application (instead of the built-in VOIP app), but that is probably impossible, so it may be on GCD's shoulders to get the contact information from Contacts and display it in a usable way....

Thanks again for helping to develop this wonderful application.

Re: Grandcentral Dialer

Wow, thanks.

1) I think its on garage already ( z2n is the admin of the project ). I believe the goal is to have this moved into the download area/extras in the not too distant future ( weeks, not months ). Short of svn I have no clue what I'm doing on garage which is why it's not there already.

2) Yes, it is possible I have the power. I played with the URI handling code and it's possible to intercept but it requires changing several system files. I believe epage is looking into pulling the contact info over d-bus into the application which seems like a cleaner approach anyways.

2a) I would like to tap the TEL uri handling so that websites that have iphone "call" buttons will bring up the number in the Dialer. I may make this a sperate app that can do more of a switchboard approach, you defining how different types of numbers get routed. the biggest issue is that anything that requires DTMF will not work through GC.

I think ( epage can correct me if I'm wrong ) but here is where we are headed.

* Name change to remove Grandcentral from the project name ( It's asking for trouble ). Depending o n how boring we all are it will probably just become "Dialer".
* Proper housing on garage/extras
* Better maemo citizen, responding to osso calls about low memory and hibernation.
* Better "offline" handling
* 770 support
* Contacts in some form

THERE ARE NO MORE INVITATIONS. GOOGLE TOOK THEM ALL AWAY FROM ALL USERS

Sorry for shouting, this question has been asked and answered in many many many places including iTT.

Since i bought it a week ago, i'm still new to N810. I have nt update firmware or OS anything except Python2.5 package installed. It's Chinook.

If you just bought your n810 a week ago did you already have a grandcentral account?

I have been waiting for them to send me an invite deal for about a week now!!! Its a little crazy to have to wait so long.

You are right the name Dialer doesn't do justice for a great tool that marriage the (some of) best of N8XX with the best of GrandCentral. Can't wait till WiMax comes to Baltimore in September, monster trio. :D

Re: Grandcentral Dialer

Been trying to get some name ideas and some I've heard include:
* Switchboard
* Operator
* Carter, Carterfone, or something like it in memory of the FCC decision

Re: Grandcentral Dialer

Here are a couple suggestions for a name

Re: Grandcentral Dialer

regarding the possibility of gpe contacts integration...is how it would be done (i hope) open gpe contacts and just tap a number and the dialer will dial it..without bringing up the dialpad?

Re: Grandcentral Dialer

There is preliminary OS2007HE support for the 770 in the trunk. I still need to play with package building on that platform, but you can run it yourself if you checkout the code, "build_script.sh os2007" and then copy the contents of "build-os2007" to your device.

Sorry, I'm not running OS2006 but if anyone is, hopefully its close enough.

The only issue I detected is a cosmetic issue with tabs. Every other tab is bogus and the tab labels are bad. This was one minor change in the glade file that is just off enough that my limited regex skills were not able to handle it (currently we transform the code to each supported platform). The "770" branch I used for experimenting has a glade file that does not have this issue since I made the changes by hand.
