CallBar is a tweak quite old released in Cydia a few weeks ago for iPhone terminals. Using it, we eliminate the interface that appears when we have an incoming call on our phones, the screen being replaced with a banner-type notification displayed at the top of the screen. In the clip above we have a presentation of version 1.0 of the tweak, a version that was released a few days ago in Cydia's BigBoss repo. The tweak allows us to reject/accept a call through that banner, turn on/off the loudspeaker and mute a call, all without closing any application we have open at the time of receiving the call.
Here's what's new in CallBar 1.0:
- Added option to answer telephone calls in-place
- Added methods and UI for handling telephony calls in-place
- Added dial-out option using callbar (Assign an activator action to bring down callbar and dial a new number)
- Removed answer-decline buttons, you now answer by swiping right and decline by swiping left on the callbar.
- Added tap to show/hide in-call buttons. Tap callbar while in an active call to trigger.
- Added tap to open related call application. Tap the application icon on the left.
- Removed silence button, you now silence the call using the sleep button. (as for native calls)
- Added dial-out buttons: Favorites, Recents, Contacts, Keypad
- Added the following call management buttons: Mute, Speaker, Add Call, Keypad, Bluetooth, Hold Call, Swap Calls, Merge Calls.
- Callbar is now aware of a second incoming call and allows call-swapping/merging.
- The keypad can be used for both sending DTMF tones while in a call or dialing out a number when idle.
- Fixed several bugs.
- Improved memory usage.
- Removed methods for ringing applications (Anyring, ToneFXs etc). We now provide an API for developers for this.
- Improved UI and graphics experience
- Added application for managing settings.
CallBar works with phone calls received through the Phone application, but also with calls received through FaceTime, Skype or Viber. CallBar only works with iOS 5, as it happens with current versions, and starting today you can buy it from Cydia.
