-------------------------

Call Informer is a Caller ID enhancement that shows additional contact details on the Android incoming and (optionally) outgoing Caller ID screens.

Call Informer can show:
- Nickname*
- Company
- Job Title
- Email address/Domain (NEW)
- City, State†
- Country†
- Group association (NEW)
- Notes
*Note: Nickname only exists on Android 2.0 and higher.
†Note: Android versions below 2.0 don't separate the address fields, so the entire Address field is displayed on older versions.

Call Informer differs from apps like Caller ID by Whitepages, TrueCaller, and Mr. Number Caller ID. These apps look for the information on the Internet, while Call Informer shows you the information you have already saved in your contacts. This means Call Informer will work on CDMA phones when the other apps can't.

No Internet connection is needed! The extra information is read from your address book. Call Informer does not try to find this information--you need to manually update your contacts for the details to show on your call screens.

FEATURES:
- Show in a translucent box or inline below the name and number
- Set the font color and size
- Optionally tap caller details to open Contact entry (new)
- Optionally tap to hide/show caller details
- Reposition the display to suit your phone (with preview)
- Optionally show on outgoing calls
- Show during conversation, or hide when answered
- Designed to be small and efficient
- Call Informer Preferences app in app drawer will allow you to report any Force Closes you have had; also allows you to send me a debug log in the event of a problem

REQUIREMENTS:
- Must subscribe to your cellular carrier's Caller ID service. Without this, Call Informer will be unable to determine who is calling you! Most US carriers include this automatically, users in other countries should check your cellular plan. BOTTOM LINE: If your calls come in as "UNKNOWN" instead of a phone number, Call Informer WILL NOT work for you (Thanks @joey)
- HTC SENSE: Call Informer may overlap your existing Incoming Call screen info; I am working on some workarounds for this. For now I recommend turning on the solid background option, and use the Vertical Position preference screen to adjust the display for the best fit. You can still interact with whatever is behind Call Informer--it is just a visual overlap.
