Actually, I meant more of the design side, do you need any elements (buttons/layout etc) designed? I can design elements/icons/layouts for you.
Unfortunately I'm trying to keep things fairly simple so the only thing I can think of is an updated icon (kind of weird the Dialcentral icon being for POTS).
If you want to help me with several of my projects, I could also use an icon for The One Ring, some buttons for ejpi, and a new icon for Quicknote

Can you send me the original Dialcentral icon? what about the buttons, I have a suttle look in mind that may be a bit nicer than the original, up to you though.

I took your advice and exported my contacts list from GV to a google.csv file. It speeds up the process immensely, however there seems to be an issue with the way the csv is being translated. Can you make it so that it displays similarly to how it does when you get the list from the website? If you want a screen shot of what I'm seeing let me know I'm not sure how else to explain it.
**Enhancement Request**
If the contacts are being loaded from a local file, allow the contacts to be displayed while you are logging in to google voice.
**CSV File location change request**
Ok it was not overly difficult for me to move the CSV file to where it needed to go, but someone not versed at all in Linux will not be able to use this feature without a lot of heart ache. Plus if I update my list I will want an easy means of doing it on the N810. Can you make the directory on the internal memory of the device instead of ~.dialcentral/contacts to /media/mmc1/contacts or similar?
Let me know what you like or dislike so I can file it accordingly. Thanks for looking
What I am trying to get is a quick way of dialing the numbers I call most in the quickest way...
Even through the GV web interface I have to scroll through a list of contacts to get to the one I want.
Most of the time opening DC on the N8x0, going to contacts, selecting the number etc.... is good enough.
What I's like to see is a 1 (maybe 2) click to call.
Don't know if this helps, but if you rename the contacts you want to call often to look like !name, they will filter to the top of the list in DialCentral and be easy to find.

I'm not too concerned about Dialcentral using stock icons on buttons, I was more interested in the ones for my calculator where I had to do a lot of button design.

I would actually consider this an enhancement request since I'm using the information you are giving me (this point is debatable, I know, but I didn't originally write CSV handling for GV but for another source of my contacts). I could possibly put in some hacks specially for GV exports. I'd recommend either opening it up in a spreadsheet program and modifying the column titles, or filing me an enhancement request (or both).

This would probably require massive reworking of Dialcentral (partially due to the heritage of supporting both GV and GC, partially due to my safety checking to make sure we don't attempt something while note logged in). For the amount of work I'm unsure how much benefit would be gained. You are free to file it (like anything) but you'll have to sell me on it a little more.

I do admit it isn't the best for non-advanced users. (one of those itches needing scratches for a very particular use case of my own) Rather than hard coding to the memory card, I think I'd rather have an "import" option. Either way, I'd encourage you to file one on this.
