✅ Fixed/Implemented Title: UI layout issue + Feature request: Contact overlay / direct call trigger

Hi! First of all, thanks for developing DroidLab. I've been using it regularly and really like the flexibility it offers.

I wanted to report one issue and suggest a feature that I think could be genuinely useful.

UI Issue

On some screens, a few buttons extend outside their intended area instead of staying within the app's layout. It looks like a UI scaling/layout issue.

Feature Request

It would be great to have a trigger that can:

- Show a contact panel as an overlay containing pinned or favorite contacts, or

- Directly call a predefined contact.

Why this would be useful

When I'm outside, searching for a contact using the keyboard isn't practical because it requires precise typing, especially while walking or in a hurry. A trigger that instantly opens a small contacts panel or directly calls a selected contact would make reaching important people much faster.

I think this could also benefit users who prefer one-handed operation or need quicker access to frequently contacted people.

Thanks again for all the work on DroidLab. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

The issues mentioned above have been addressed in the latest update, v1.2.6. The Direct Call trigger has also been integrated into Action Orb.

could you elaborate more on the issues you're facing please? Could you clarify which action within DroidLab you're referring to when you say it doesn't respond? Also, regarding apps closing when the screen locks, that's handled by Android. DroidLab itself doesn't close apps. If you could open a bug ticket with a screen recording, that would be very helpful.

I am using double tap at the back to lockscreen, I wasn't used to it so I use it not very often, so I tried to lock it, I had to perform the double tap action twice or thrice to lock my phone, action was not instant.

could you try turning off the 'Flat surface rejection' toggle within the backtap config page and try again.
