Ciao nico can you help me solve the problem i have?

looks nice. getting some excepetions when opening some widgets.

nicolas, do you think there should be a difference performencewise due to it using flashlite instead of flash? should i start using this instead of the original FEW? and will the widgets i created be installable on this version as well?

It looks better, but probably consumes a little more CPU (or maybe not..). This version also unloads and switches to 1% CPU use when an application covers the entire screen.
Widgets you had created are not compatible, however I've incorporated your widgets onto this release (proper credit is given on an About option for each widget )
EDIT: Just so you know, I will no longer support the original FEWidgets anymore.

The idea of this first release is to debug the app... as stated on first post, its beta. Could you tell me what widgets are throwing exceptions? (do you have WM 5 or 6?)

in my case it crash while opening

That error is shown on the Setup process... it will be fixed on the next release. However the aplication still installed correctly and you should be able to select it as a today plugin.

Errors (but not exceptions)
Using stock ATT HTC Fuze rom, found a few things. First in landscape mode the background doesnt fill the screen (which is fine if there is a different bg for landscape vs portrait in the settings) and all of the widgets on the screen disappear except the lock. The only other problem i've run into is that the diamond clock appeared to get stuck in the flipping animation, went away when I drug it off the screen and then back on. Finally, as a today plugin, there is a space left at the bottom of the screen between the WM border and the plugin. Its the only plugin selected so I dont know why its doing this. Overall nice work from the last version to this one!

For the background, when on landscape (or on any page) select another background using the background switcher, and it'll change it only for that page.
I'll check the other errors, however all widgets drop fine on my omnia..

I've uploaded the sources. On the first post is the link.
I've also updated the version to 0.1.2.

Installed it on my TouchPro. I like the concept but it is way to buggy. For some reason when I chose full screen, I cant see any of the widgets. Also, the weather widget was not working, and a couple other widgets were non responsive -for example the quick dial widget wouldnt let me add any names.

still i have got problems with 0.1.2 nico

I dont know if Fullscreen works when working as a today plugin.. its a Flash Lite option that I can't remove from the menu (IThink).
The Quick Dial works for me... are your contact names in english? (using latin characters), what version of flash Lite do you have? Window Mobile 6.1? there is a bug on this widget which when you select the trash bin for selecting a contact, when returning from delete mode it wont show the plus signs but that's all I detected...

Hey everyone!
I've been fiddling with gaia recently (big thanks goes to vampirefo for the clockwork recovery image and his 2.1 build!)
I decided to fix a few annoyances that I had with the mozilla build, cause the Open C is currently my main phone and I use it every day.
So I forked gaia and over the last few days have implemented the following things:
Visuals
- Made stock icons more consistent, changed the layout a bit.
- Removed background from the search bar on the top of the screen (I think it is ugly).
- Applied the font fix to get Fira Sans back (more info: MDN link)
Browser
- Made the address bar appear when you start scrolling to the top - no more scrolling to the very top of the page to access it!
- Added "Duck Duck Go" to the search engines (you can change them in browser settings)
- Added Google suggestions to the browser address bar 'as-you-type'
[UPDATE 07/09/2014]
I updated the build, technically its not 2.1 anymore, mozilla moved to 2.2
Here is a list of the changes I made to this build:
- Added a button to lock orientation to the swipe screen
- Changed layout of the swipe screen a bit
- Long tap on shift for capslock
- Added a button to close all applications in the task manager
- Other small updates to styling
(Also added French keyboard)
Udate: Mozilla added copy - paste for text fields! also available in this build (probably not stable yet)
Keyboards in this build
English, Spanish, German, French, Russian (cyrillic)
Download
ZTE-Open-C-21(22)-modUI.zip on Google Drive [Fixed the link, sorry about that]
GitHub
I also decided to ublish my branch on github: https://github.com/YemSalat/gaia-modui feel free to fork and contribute or port to other phones.
I am currently learning Gaia architecture as I'm making changes, so some of them are a bit 'hacky', but I try to follow the conventions and prefix my stuff (css/functions/etc.) with 'modui'
Installation instructions
Make sure to backup your data!
Download zip and extract it to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/
Use .50 recovery to install by choosing restore
In recovery mode navigate to /sdcard/clockworkmod/backup/ffos_21_modUI
(backup and restore > restore from /external_sd > ffos_21_modUI > yes restore)
Then let .50 recovery restore 2.1, reboot and enjoy
For more info on .50 recovery and zte open c go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54552198&postcount=21
Let me know what you think!

Looks really good. Runs good. Only issue i noticed ist that the browser has issues with Facebook mobile version.
A friend of mine runs Firefox nightly build on PC there he had some issue with Facebook too.

Thanks for the feedback!
I'll check on that.

your build seems less buggy than vampirefo, but the lag when disable "App Transition" is still there.
edit, other bug:
- After login firefox account for the first time, its not auto login for the firefox marketplace, so i need to login again on ff marketplace

Thanks for your build, I really like that UI. :good:
I've been using it for a couple of days, so far I'm quite happy with it.
This is a list of some of the issues I encountered :
camera is not working: the app runs but the screen is black and no shot can be taken
App suspending setting is not taken into account: once turned off apps are still suspended
light sensor is not working: no dimming as with stock ffos
keyboard first caracter is not taken into account when typing
same lag as a_tumiwa when App transition is disabled

That isn't exclusive to YemSalat's build. My vanilla Mozilla provided images on my Flame do the same thing for the first pressed character.

I'm currently building the latest gaia and it works well for the most part, however I'm not going to release it just yet.
I also included some of my own updates:
- added "Lock orientation" button to the swipe screen. (thinking of adding mute button as well)
- changed the layot of swipe screen a bit
According to team meet-ups (I'm following them on mailing list) - in the next week the browsing experience is gonna undergo quite a few changes, and they are going to get rid of the current default browser completely.

Yep the app transition lag is a known bug and already fired on bugzilla.

Thanks for the feedback!
- The Camera IS working for me. If someone else can check on that and report back - would be good.
- Will look into it
- Is there a light sensor on Open C??
- Yep, keyboard first character as Saijin_Naib noted is a gaia bug, will hopefully be fixed soon.
- See above
Also, it would be great if everybody who finds issues with builds would post them on bugzilla, they will have more chances of getting fixed that way.
I'll update this build in the next couple days and let you know.

Concerning the light sensor (and maybe the camera as well), AFAIK there are different variants of that phone, mine was bought from a french store.
BTW, would you mind adding a french keyboard layout please?
Would it be possible to have a GPS switch on the swipe screen?
I will look into bugzilla.
Thanks again. :good:

The camera issue is reported in the ticket 1055515 on B2G bugzilla (cannot post link yet as a new forum member) it seems that most phones having this issue come from Leclerc, which is where I got my open c.

İs firefoxOS is still developing?

The camera is working fine for me (stock 1.3 , your 2.1 , vampirefo 2.1, vampirefo 1.4)..... bad quality but i think it is hardware sensor problem
Light Sensor is the one for screen brightness adjust automatically? when i set it, i dont see it work properly...
edit:
Looks like this phone doesnt have Light Sensor at all?

No I don't think it does.

The variant of the Open C I own does have a light sensor for adjusting the brightness, it worked fine with the stock FFOS 1.3

That's a rather specific device, unfortunately I can't promise that everything's gonna work on it in the next builds.
By the way - it would really help if you reported it on bugzilla, I am pretty certain I couldn't screw that up, so it must be there regression.

could you put "clear all" button in task manager for your next build? dont know if it possible...
thanks

I can't promise for the next build, but definitely putting this one on the TODO list.

just installed this, thanks a lot.
it was my first install on my first phone. impressed how easy it was with clockworkmod et al.
thanks for putting this together and doing all the work for me.
no bugs encountert til now.
camera works
keyboard works

A little update everyone.
Sorry I still haven't updated the build - I keep merging Mozilla's branch and while they fix a lot of issues, they also introduce new ones, for example there was no way to dial a phone number more then once, but that got fixed.
I added everything that I wanted to add so far and the 'Close all' button to the task manager.
Another big news - Mozilla is moving its master branch from 2.1 to 2.2! This means that 2.1 won't be getting new features apart from bugfixes, which is good cause it means its more stable now.
I will upload the new build today (Australia time, so it may be tomorrow for you )

2. cannot set up pop3 for aol. "cannot connect to server"
Both work fine on 1.2

Did you try signing in to gmail on wifi or 3g?
Whatever you did - can you please try again the other way and report back?
Just to clarify - its only occuring when signing in through the browser, right?
Signing in through email app should work fine if you set servers to imap.gmail.com and smtp.gmail.com respectively.

yep, quite unusual .... I think landscape mode makes a lot of sense for an automation app, because you can see the whole scheme at one glance and the left to right flow feels more natural (at least for left to right reading people) .... the app could handle portrait mode as well, but after some UI tests I decided to make landscape the only mode ... theoretically I could change that with a few lines of code .... so, if the majority of users want a portrait mode, you will get it .. perhaps i should start a poll .... or everybody could give some feedback here
... let´s say additional portrait 1 : landscape 0

I appreciate your feedback very much :good:
As mentioned, I played around with the UI a lot. I have just installed an old prototype with portrait still enabled (but nothing optimized) and took some screenshots . It looks ok when you have several events and activities ... but a little bit weird for simple schemes .... ok, I think I could optimize it a bit, but personally I definitively prefer the landscape mode ....
However, if users prefer portrait mode I could add it ....

Yep, landscape is definitively my favorite ....But we seem to be in the minority ... so I will enable portrait via the next update .... so everybody could use it in their favorite mode

Is it possible to change Preferred Network Type or APN with this app? If not, is it something that can potentially be added in a future release or are apps in general not capable of doing this?

Very good Question
There is no official API for this available, but in the past you could hack around similar restrictions with reflection, root and other workarounds (and I still do it for some features like the airplane mode). If I remember it right, you could toogle the preferedNetworkType via an app on older Android versions. I never implemented this feature within my other app ReTag (first release for Android 2.3) , because it never was stable ...it worked on some devices and android version but didn´t work on others ....With each Android version Google implements new restrictions, so it´s getting harder and harder for apps accessing basic functions. From my point of view the problem is the broken and static permission system on android. It´s broken since day 1 and instead of fixing it or implementing something completely new, Google tries to block everything "security" related .... The solution would be simple: provide official API and a stable permission system that enables the user to decide if an app should be able to access this API (on runtime, not before installation) .... just my 2 cents ....
Bottom line: No, afaik it´s not possible to reliable change the PreferedNetworkType or APN via a 3rd party app on newer android versions.

Update 0.8.6
update 0.8.6 just uploaded to Google Play ... could take some time until it´s available
What´s new:
- MOBILE DATA toggle for Android 5.+ Lollipop --> that was a b**'*h !!! --> latest Expert Plugin + latest SuperSu required!
- Aauuto shortcuts --> you can put serveral shortcuts within a folder on your homescreen

Any feedback for the new Lollipop Mobile Data toggle ???
Google blocks the mobile data toggle in Lollipop and I had to use some new workarounds to hack around this .... I wonder if you found any issues :fingers-crossed:

Hmm ,
not much feedback so far, everything seems stable ... a few small issues and only 2 error reports ... I think, I could release the 1.0 version end of January .... so, please report your issues and feature requests till the end of next week and I could probably implement/ solve them for the official (non-beta) 1.0 release ....
btw. nobody so far mentioned the colors .... I like them, but I expected some uproar ....so, last chance before 1.0 ;-P

I've been playing around with it for a bit and so far I like it :good: I'll report back if I find anything.

Update 0.9.1
Update 0.9.1 (still beta ) just released to google play
This is a extremely tricky update:
2G/3G/LTE :
-Support for 2G/3G/LTE toggle --> Root Required! ... works without issues on my testing devices, but sim related things are always tricky, so you can find it within the Labs section
Plugin API:
-Experimental support for external setting/activity plugins (Locale/Tasker compatible) --> Extremely cool and tricky ---> just use Locale/ Tasker compatible setting plugins with Aauuto ...
The API isn´t public and I would do a lot of things different, but using standard automation plugins makes a lot of sense .... I had to guess a lot of things within this API, so probably not all plugins are working .... especially older and not longer maintained plugins may not work .... tested some plugins and most of them work ....
Feedback which plugin works/ doesn´t work is very welcome ! (Seems that some plugins block other apps than Tasker/Locale ... )

Bugfix update 0.9.1.2 just uploaded to Google Play ....
Should fix a lot of external plugin issues ... found some sort of "legacy mode" .... Greenify and Pushbullet should work now .... also a bunch of other plugins ....in fact, every plugin I tested seems to work now ...
Feedback (plugin working/not working ) highly appreciated .... also some 2G/3G/LTE toggle feedback would be nice

There is a security code for rom, which given to beta testers. Crack will let us baypass this code.

The Crack could be a virus or something sinister. From when did android need a Crack?
Don't try it out Or do it with a great risk!

Every beta tester gets a unique code to use at the startup of the rom. The crack bypasses that.

That's something unique, a new information for me.

Well as long as it is harmless, it is fine.
I'd Just been a bit doubtful since a lot of sites would have Crack with Trojans in many sites. That's all

It is very smooth and minimal, not many apps installed. But most important is that it is Multirom compatible. It had MiUI type horizontal launcher, permissions manager, custom UC styled browser, Baidu IME, a custom market, Google play store and some chinese app I couldn't guess at. I havent installed many apps so its is quite responsive. And there is no quick settings in the notification drop down.

[WIDGET][YotaPhone2]Yota Toolbelt 1.0.4

Introduction
What is it?
Yota Toolbelt is my stab at developing something useful for the Yotaphone 2. It's a functional widget for the back screen, combined with a simple front screen widget. It has been tested on the latest Lollipop firmware (1.44).
What it does?
- The front screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring mode with a single click.
- The back screen widget allows you to toggle mirroring, wifi, Bluetooth, wifi tethering, ringer mode and YotaEnergy. Additionally you can place shortcuts to URLs to open your favorite websites quickly.
- The new "Contact list" action allows you to browse your contact list, make calls and send SMS's from it.

Installation instructions
I'm not going to bother putting this on Google Play because of the extra work with little benefit, so you have to install the apk manually. Here's how:
1. Check "allow installation of apps from unkown sources" from Settings - Security so that you can install the file.
2. Download the apk file and put it on your phone, or download it to your phone directly.
3. Open the apk file with some file manager and install it.
After this you can add the front screen widget like you would add any widget, by long pressing your home screen, selecting widgets, and then dragging the "Yota Toolbelt" on your home screen.
The back screen widget can be added from Yotahub.

Changelog
Code:
Current changelog: 2015-07-11
Version 1.0.4
- [NEW] Toggle for Wifi tethering.
- [NEW] Toggle for ringer mode: Normal/Vibrate (Toggling silent mode is simply not possible on Lollipop - Thanks Google!)
- [CHANGE] Added shortcuts to related system settings on long press to all but the Mirror widget in the config utility.
Old change logs:
Code:
Version 1.0.3
- [NEW] General settings for Contact list. These settings affect ALL INSTANCES of contact lists.
---- Choose the sort order
---- Choose name format
---- Choose dialer (EPD / mirrored). This should be changed only if you are having trouble making calls from the Contact list.
---- Lock EPD automatically when calling from Contact list to prevent accidental presses.
- [NEW] Added fast scroll support for the Contact list
- [FIX] Fixed Contact list not always closing after sending SMS or making a call
- [FIX] Fixed Mirror widget starting in incorrect state when mirrored.
Version 1.0.2
- [NEW] Contact list
- [FIX] Fixed a bug where widgets would not react after a while
Version 1.0.1
- [NEW] More advanced configuration utility
- [NEW] Battery level monitor / YotaEnergy toggle
- [NEW] Support for bookmark shortcuts that can be opened in EPD browser
or the default system browser in mirrored mode
- [NEW] Support for all widget sizes
- [NEW] Support for white theme
- [CHANGE] Changed the graphics to follow Yota's icons more closely.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Known issues
- This Widget requires Lollipop to work. No backwards compatibility.
- The battery widget doesn't have push effect. Also, toggling YotaEnergy on takes surprisingly long time. There's nothing I can do about that.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
FAQ
The graphics.. They look.. ehrm..
- Awesome, right!? I'm a programmer, not an artist. If someone wants to create new graphics for the widget, I am very willing to change them. Each button should be the same size, at least 140x140px.
What are all these permissions?
- Bluetooth/Wifi/Network permissions are required for toggling wifi and Bluetooth directly without the system's dialogs.
- The vibration permission allows the buttons to vibrate on click.
- The READ_CONTACTS permission is for the new contact list portion, allowing it to list your contacts.
- The PHONE_CALL permission is for making a call using the front screen's dialer.
- The READ_PHONE_STATE is used for making the "lock EPD on dial" function work
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
For developers
I had to do some serious reverse engineering to figure out how to activate and deactivate the mirroring and YotaEnergy, so to save everyone's time, here's how to do it:
Activate mirroring from front screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_MANUAL");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Activate mirroring from back screen:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START_FROM_BS");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
Deactivate mirroring:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To check is mirroring on right now, and to lock the EPD (asynchronous):
Code:
ServiceConnection mConnection = new ServiceConnection() {
public void onServiceConnected(ComponentName className, IBinder service) {
IFrameworkService mService = IFrameworkService.Stub.asInterface(service);
boolean isMirroringOn = mService.isMirroringOn();
mService.lockBackScreen();
}
public void onServiceDisconnected(ComponentName className) {}
};
Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.GET_SERVICE_BINDER").setPackage("com.yotadevices.yotaphone2.bsmanager");
context.getApplicationContext().bindService(i, mConnection, Context.BIND_AUTO_CREATE);
//Remember to unbind when you don't need the service anymore
To detect when mirroring is started, listen for the following broadcast:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_START
To detect when mirroring ends, listen for both of these broadcasts:
Code:
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP_MANUAL
yotaphone.intent.action.MIRRORING_STOP
To turn YotaEnergy on:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_START");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To turn YotaEnergy off:
Code:
final Intent i = new Intent("yotaphone.intent.action.POWERSAVE_STOP");
context.sendBroadcast(i);
To open Yota's EPD browser:
Code:
Intent i = new Intent();
i.setComponent(new ComponentName("com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser", "com.yotadevices.yotaphone.yd_browser.BSBrowser"));
i.putExtra("URL_TO_OPEN", "http://www.google.com");
context.startService(i);

Suggest features
I am open to suggestions for functions to add. Functions I've considered:
Flashlight - this one's doable, but it seems a little pointless. How are you going to turn the flashlight on in the dark when there's no backlight on the EPD?
Volume/Vibrate/Silent toggle - Probably doable, but requires some work so that it's easy to use.
Rotation lock - Not sure about this, but pointless anyway. The rear screen doesn't support horizontal view in the first place, unless you're mirroring, and then you might as well use widgets on your front screen.
Airplane mode - This one requires root access, and is quite hacky to implement.
NFC toggle - Cannot be done without root.
GPS toggle - Cannot be done without root.
Any ideas?

Thanks for doing this.
You might want to add Hotspot and data network
Would you be able to add Shortcuts? That would be very useful and its a shame the stock app does not allow this.

I'll look into your suggestions. I think the hotspot function required root access, and that is not very user friendly.
About the shortcuts - Isn't the stock Apps Launcher widget exactly what you're looking for?

the stock app allows links to apps only. Shortcuts are a subset of apps that can be added to the desktop. Eg in Google Maps you can create a shortcut on your homescreen that starts directions to a pre set destination. Or eg Chrome allows shortcuts to websites to be placed on the homescreen.
Edit: This may be beyond the scope of this widget. Apologies

Ah, I see. I've never used these before.
It is possible yes, but the biggest issue here is how you create and associate them to the widget. By default the shortcuts are created by the applications, like Chrome and Google Maps, and those applications send the shortcut Intent to the Launcher application. There is no way of telling the system that the shortcut should show up on this widget.
It probably could be possible to create these shortcuts manually for supported applications, like Chrome, but that would require quite a lot of work.

Nice work @Jeopardy! Thanks for sharing some dev notes too, might be useful for future widgets/apps.
PS You could officially kick off the "YotaPhone Original Android Development" device subforum with your widget (0 threads there now).

Thank you. Yeah I was wondering for the right place to put this. Now that you mentioned it, I guess the proper place would be the Original Android Development, but to put it there now would require a moderator.

Since I am using the "default" black theme I would prefer to have an option to switch between "black" and "white" version. I already created the changed images to basically switch your images to "all transparent" with white icons and a white circle around them for "pressed status". Since I am a new user I can't attach them to the post yet. Can you tell me a way to share them with you?
Besides that: can you share the sources of your widget to allow us to build upon it ourselves?
Thanks for your work on this!

I just sent you a private message about those images.
I'll consider sharing the source later. At the moment it is rather messy and very much hardcoded. I am currently rewriting the configuration Activity to allow rearranging of the icons and adding some new functions. It will take some time for me to finish this to a level I'm satisfied with.

I just released an update which addresses your idea of shortcuts for system's default browser (Chrome) and EPD's browser. Now the widget's framework is so flexible that it is very easy to add new shortcut targets. The only problem (still) is that the shortcuts have to be created manually from the widget, which means relatively complex dialogs. Shortcuts for browser is extremely handy, but can you think of some other app whose shortcuts would be as useful?

That was to be expected. I don't think they included the SDK library until Lollipop. Sorry.

Major update
Okay, here's a new update for you guys.
First off, the minor (but important fixes) include fixing nonresponsive buttons if the device has been inactive for a long time, and some minor optimizations.
The big new function is a fully functional contacts list! I had been working on this for a while, waiting for Yota to update their caller app so I wouldn't have to do it. But it seems they are busy doing something else. So I became impatient and decided to include it here, as it needs an EPD widget anyway to launch it. So just add the contact list widget to the toolbelt from options, open it from the back screen, and you can browse all your contacts (with phone numbers) and then call them directly from the EPD. It also supports sending SMS's, but the catch is that it uses the front screen SMS editor via mirroring, not Yota's sleek EPD editor. The reason for this is there's no way to hook up to Yota's editor.
While I was building this update I also noticed quite serious security flaw in Yota's EPD dialer app. By default if you want to make a phone call from your app you need to add android.permission.CALL_PHONE to your manifest. However, I found out that Yota has left their EPD dialer app completely open for any app to ask for immediate phone call (like mine does), without any permissions what-so-ever. What were they thinking?
It also became frustratingly clear how bad the SDK is at the moment. The documentation is nonexistent, and you cannot even create dialogs. So many workarounds had to be made to make this work nicely.
But anyways, let me hear your opinions and experiences. There's bound to be some bugs somewhere and there's plenty of room to expand the contact list portion, provided I have the time.

Looking forward to trying the newest version. Thanks for building this!
You might want to consider contacting the Indiegogo campaign folks, as it looks like you've earned yourself a free phone. I can't post the link because I guess I'm too new a user on here, but if you look at the updates and scroll down to "25 days ago":
FYI: If anyone successfully develops an application or service to work natively for the "always on" display I will reward them with a YotaPhone 2 for FREE at the end of the campaign!

Wow, might as well try it. Thanks for the info!

Hi thanks for standing in where yota appear to lack
just downloaded and installed but although the contacts list works well the phone dialer doesnt but i do have a call confirm slider app (used to stop wrongly dialed numbers) which could block this (it does the same with yota dialer)
only way i have managed to work around this is to mirror the android dialer app but would be nice if you could? do anything?
like your commitment to develop - think you should look at a donate function somewhere..would buy you a coffee or two for your efforts
regards

Basically what I do, is ask the official EPD dialer to make the phone call for me. If your call confirm slider app blocks the yota dialer, it will also block this. I guess you cannot add exceptions to the caller app? (Probably not, knowing Android's telephony API...)
An ugly workaround for your specific case would be for me to turn mirroring on when you press the call-button from my contacts list, and then ask the system's default dialer to make the call. Then your call confirm slider app would show up normally in the mirrored mode and you could finish the call. I might consider adding this later on as a setting somewhere, but no promises. It would be a lot cleaner if the mirroring mode would not be needed to finish the call, because turning it on takes quite a while and is a hassle to deal with when trying to do simple actions.
What is the name of the app you are using? I'll take a look.
