Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

  • Stock calling screen can be difficult for some people to use, because the layouts and functions are differently positioned, so it depends on the phone manufacturer and i have seen some launcher apps for elderly implement their own calling window or separate calling app for that.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • When you call a number, a custom BaldPhone screen opens instead of stock, where you easily press turn on speaker, turn on earphone, mute, end call, and so on easier to use buttons than stock.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement a custom calling screen that replaces the stock Android dialer when making or receiving calls, using Android's InCallService API to handle the call UI and actions like speaker, mute, end call. Ensure the UI is simple and large buttoned for elderly users.
