Hi Camel,

this mean, in tab "phone" or "history" -> press "menu key" ->
there can be "history filter" -> then show the items: "missed calls/incomming calls/ outgoing calls / blocked calls" and on every one there can be set the flag On/off
and user can select, which one to display.
If I understand you correctly, there will be pre-settable flags or option toggles to control which elements are displayed in the Calls History list.
Personally, I wouldn't like this proposal. It seems too limited and too laborious, any time you wish to obtain a different view.
Let me refer you to what other phone makers do. My personal phone is a Nokia. I have stuck with Nokia since my very first cellphone, as I have always found their interface to be better and more logical than many others. I have also used Motorola (old), Ericsson (which died after a short time), Samsung and others. Although I can still say I prefer the Nokia menus, all the phones had the ability to choose (select) the type of Call History List to display, from a menu. There was no need to set any options or toggles. You always had the choice, from the Call History menu, to view Missed calls now, or Dialled calls then. In my current Nokia, I even have a Quick-access shortcut to my Missed Calls list.
Having only one list, which has to be "programmed" to be one type or another would be very cumbersome.
At worst, I would want to see an Android popup Menu option (say "Calls List") which when selected, opens another menu which offers: Missed, Received, Blocked, Called.
Choosing any one of those will then display the list, filtered as requested. (I see very little value in an option of being able to display mixed types, such as Called and Missed together, so don't think Mixed lists are necessary.)
Alternatively (or, better additionally, user controllable), retain the newly introduced button bar, with 4 options instead of the current three. I suggest that it starts with all the buttons "Off", and the list is displayed unfiltered.
Pressing any button will cause the list to be re-displayed, filtered according to the button that was pressed. Thus, you would start with the entire list of all Recent Calls. If you press the Missed Calls icon, you'll get the list of only Missed calls. The relevant button should illuminate (I suggest the button background change from grey to maybe Orange), showing which list is being displayed. Nothing too complex there. Pressing any other button will cause the list to be re-filtered, according to the button selected. The previous button would automatically be turned off. Pressing any On button again could cause it to turn Off, thereby displaying the whole list once more.
No doubt, there are other ways this could be done...

I'm not quite sure what you mean here. Are you referring to my earlier suggestion that the "lights and icons" be replaced just with bigger icons? My intention was not to use any additional space (above what has already been taken by the new bar), just get rid of the green "lights" and make the icons bigger, as dwp has shown, here:

I think these could be made bigger yet, without needing to increase the height of the button bar.
Or, are you saying the button bar itself uses too much space? I wouldn't agree. The additional functionality makes up for it by dramatically cutting the size of each list (generally speaking).
That's my 2 cents worth. Hopefully, others will add to this.
Cheers,
Al
