Re: suggestions

It is possible to add any function to this button. But it would require additional coding. I don't use FingerClix because it does not have Russian keyboard.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: suggestions

I've uploaded a new built to:

http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupNewENG.rar (only English version).

This build allows you to use joystick right/left to press "Next"/"Back" buttons, pressing joystick down in "Phone" main dialog is mapped to "Contacts" button, and archive includes a program that can be mapped to the "contacts" button.

If you have already installed a previous version of the program you should not uninstall it. This Setup would correctly update the old build.

Known problems:

Uninstall is not working yet. To manually uninstall program you should delete file "\Windows\StartUp\CprogHook.exe", reboot, then uninstall should process fine.

Joystick keys are processed when they are pressed, but normal "Phone" application processes them on "keyup" message (i.e. on release). This can potentially cause duplicated keypresses.

Don't work in my spanish version of XDA2 (TSM500) ... Is corectly installed in the Startup (Inicio en spanish version) folder, but no new appears in my phone ... Why?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
This is because I don't know the name of a "Phone" window in spanish :)

This version works only in Russian and English OSes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wouterk:
Hi Mamaich,

Looks promisign this hack you made. Only I can't install the new version. When I open the archive (with PowerArchiver) I can only see a text file. Maybe there is something wrong with the archive?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oveeneman:
Wow, Mamaich, thats a real nice handy app. Is there any way to set this button to one specific number? But even more importantly, which would be very very nice, if you could make this button to switch to HANDSFREE

on, by pressing the button? Possible?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thumper:
YESSS!!! Please? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
mamaich, that is fantastic! What a great idea! No need for a clunky T9 dialler now. THANK YOU!

One comment: contacts that have a company name only (and no first/last name) are listed with no name at all in the list. Also, people's names are listed in lastname, firstname order.

Could you make the list display configurable? I prefer John Smith to Smith John, and could you display the company name if there is no personal name?

Perhaps you could provide a list of name display options? :)

Thanks again

Cannot Apply This Excellent Utility

I am very new to this game, but have followed this thread with great interest. The problem is, I cannot locate the two files, cproghook and Phonehook anywhere on my device. I am running a XDA 2, ROM 1.72.00WWE, radio vesion 1.17.00, Ext ROM version 1.72.181.

I copied the new files into the Windows folder on my device anyway. I have noticed that a 'Contacts' option is now in my 'Settings, System' page, but there is no change to the phone skin.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vijay555:
Ideas

I'd love to have a little alphabet bar (left side, or top/bottom?) to jump to contacts as well.

And perhaps the option to remap left and right to Page Up/Down. That would make this GREAT, but it's already exceptionally useful. Thanks all for your efforts.

Is it possible to launch this app independantly of the phone app? (ie is there an executable we can launch, to save having to look at cprog.exe at all)?

I think merging this code with D9 might make an app that could entirely replace the intellidialler.

Thanks again all.

Vijay

Re: Cannot Apply This Excellent Utility

From what I understand these progs would only be there if you previously installed maimachs extensions. I just hard reset my device recently so I didnt find them either. Just follow the instructions and dont forget to download the cproghook.exe mentioned earlier in this thread and put it in windows/startup.

Hope this helps.....hope this is right

Re: Usage Problem

First off I agree, great work guys.

Allelimo, how about something like this for adding the 'ABC' search?

Where the ABC floats while the rest scrolls under it. I have no idea if that would be possible or not it. Also is it possible to change the thumbs of the faceless guy in the green jacket to other icons for individual contacts?

Keep up the excellent work.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dmmh:
I really would like a option to be able to deselect certain categories from being included in the category browser of this phone extention.

I have installed the SMS Auto Hide program, which works by adding a category 'hide' and assign it to the people you want to hide sms's from, but its pointless if it will show the category in the phone extention ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dmmh:
I have a problem.....the program doesnt start always...which is odd. If it is there on startup and I want to use the phone application later, the 'contacts' button often is missing. When I activate it manually via file explorer it works ok though

any ideas?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mondunal:
Awesome. Simply awesome.

Have just installed the german version posted by axbl a while ago.

Many many thanks, mamaich.

This turns my XDA mini into a real, practical phone. Before this, I was, uhm, almost considering shaping my fingernail stylus-like just to avoid having to pull out the stylus each time I want to make a call... :shock:

But now all is well.

My opinion on the ABC-buttons/sorting: Don't need them. My contacts are categorized, so there aren't too many in each category to scroll through comfortably. If there are some that I want to get to quickly, I create a special category for them with a name like aaquick.

Thanks again...

ABC search on contacts

yes i agree...this cproghook is a great tool but I have about 100 contacts and if I to call someone who's name begins with say, "S" then i have to scroll all the way down to S. Are there plans to put an ABC index feature in? would be very useful!

Thanks

Mamaich Phone Extension on WM5

To all those asking about whether this works on the Magician or Universal, I can tell you:

This does NOT work on WM5! :cry:

The phone pad doesn't have the same spare button as WM2003, so there's no way of getting to Mamaich's program from the phone screen.

This is a major bummer. :evil:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Mamaich Phone Extension on WM5

I know this, but I don't have time to rewrite it for WM5. When I'll do that it would replace the "contacts" softkey in a Phone app.

Re: Mamaich Phone Extension on WM5

Mamaich, you are still our one true god here, so we will wait patiently as your loyal subjects until you're able to bring yourself back from more important matters to once again attend to our humble needs. 8)

However, we bloody miss ya! This program was by far the most important piece of software that I had on my XDA2 and boy, does WM5 need something as well. :evil: Microsoft's evil WM5 gnomes obviously never need to make phone calls from their dungeon otherwise they'd have realised how pathetic their phone interface is. :roll:

My post was intended only as a clear guide for others; not a criticism of you or your program. :oops:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] page3:
Seconded. I REALLY look forward to this application when the developer has time to make it WM5 compatible. I never used the on-screen button so am not bothered about that, a hard-button is much better for one-handed dialling. On the JAM it used to be the select button, on the Exec that wouldn't be sensible but I'm sure another button could be found.

Re: suggestions

Mamaich, nice work. You are right a bit querky at times, once I have use the contacts then close all running programs, sometimes when I press the green dial button just your contact appear instead of the dial pad, not sure if you are somehow remapping the Green button (this would be great since several people have been looking for this feature) or just residual memory calls.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mtbsoft:
Hi Mamaich,

Congratulations on an excellent utility - why no-one thought of it before is beyond me. I love the way it uses the installed phone skin too.

I agree with SiliconS about the need for the display options - perhaps you could initially set it to use the "File As" property (visible in Outlook/PI) of the contacts then make it more configurable later?

Can't get it to work

Mamaich, when I try installing the application (English, whether the old or the new build), after installation I see nothing - no entry in Programs, no changes to the phone dialer. When I reboot, I get a message saying 'CProgHook' or something like it not found.

I have an XDA I with Pocket PC 2002.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edsub:
Mamaich, What a GREAT addition. I allready spent looking to a T9 dialer, but found all those apps to hve more cons than pros. This utility just does what I want!

Only thing I really would like to see is a more quick access to individual names (maybe even via a T9 like way).

Some of my contacts categories have >200 contacts, and scrolling isnt too handy then

Best thing is that you integrate very well with the standard dialer!!!!

Other useful places for 'Contacts' button

Hello Mamaich,

Great Hack - I use all the time. :D

How difficult would it be to add a contacts button to the call divert/ forward screen? That way you would be able to divert to a number in the adress book - without having to type the number in manually, or resort to copy and pasting.

I'm only beginning progamming for the pocket pc at the moment - but if you have a few pointers about how this could be done then I would try it myself?

Keep up the good work.

PS - This is my first post to a forum, so treat me gently if I've made mistakes.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Other useful places for 'Contacts' button

As far as I remember this screen does not have empty buttons I can hook.

I've uploaded new builds of this program:

http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupFL.exe - this version displays contact's name like "John Smith" (i.e. first name first).

http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupLF.exe - this version displays "Smith John"

http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupRUS.exe - russian version

New features:

This build should work on Italian version of Windows,

the "Contacts" window now closes automatically if not used for 15 seconds,

company name is displayed if both first and last names of contact are empty.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Cyber-mate:
Mamaich, the button is great and very useful. But what happens when evertime I close the phone application as terminate, and I go back to open the phone application, I lose that button unless I manually click on the file thru file xplorer? Any debugging?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
You should not close Phone application. If you minimize it, the button would not disappear. Just place cprog.exe to the exclusion list of a program you use to terminate running applications. Or use PocketPlus as a task manager, it does not conflict with my program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
Hope it's just me, but at the moment the address you've given (http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/SetupFL.exe) isn't working for me, and neither is the domain mamaich.kasone.com. I get a 'Website unavailable / DNS error'.

Anyone else finding this or is it just me? The rest of the Internet works fine, as you can see. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GoldenSands:
Yep, link is not working, although I had downloaded it already few days ago!

Mamaich, the extra button feature is really nice. I got few comments and few suggestions:

1- When I click on "Contacts" buttone, it takes about 2 to 3 seconds until it goes to the "Contacts" list, is this ok? I mean would it be possible to reduce the time?

2- Would you think about another alternative of "Conacts" Button? like:

A- One hot contact name "home" or any other contact so the user would set us at his choice, and it will be displayed there and will be used as a hot key to dial the desired contact every time.

B- Or the button refers to a function like Call forwarding to a certain number!

These are just suggestions, and I really appreciate your good efforts and work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mindracing:

Thanks mamaich.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
The link is working now. Probably the site was temporarily down.

Maybe you have too many contacts or lots of programs running in the background? I'll try to speedup my code.

I'll add some customisation settings for this button when I'll have time. For example I'll add an ability to run any program you like when you press this button. I cannot make call forwarding because I don't know how to force Phone application to do that.

You need not. The program correctly updates its previous versions.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Mamaich, any possibility to get an exit button that actually closes the phone program or as you said an programmable button that you can assign any app. you want to. This would be an excellent option (closing with the stylus is a royal pain. Or if Elir is will to let you know how he was able to get ExtendedPhone to close using the CallEnd key that would be even better.

Also found that if you are the list then use the Right side of the D-Pad to go to next that works great but if you are at the number to dial and press the right D-Pad it dials the number but then goes to call history. I notice if you use your next button it calls the number then goes back to the phone screen. Any way to make this work the same with the D-Pad.

Really amazing hack.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] GoldenSands:
Thank you mamaich, will look forward for the new update.

Take care.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
I've uploaded a new build to http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/cproghook.rar

New in this version:

- increased autoclose timeout of contacts window to 30 seconds,

- fixed a bug that dialing with right arrow opened "call history" window,

- fixed a bug causing "contacts" window to stop responding to joystick,

- added control panel applet that allows you to change program settings (select language, bind any program to the "contacts" button, ...),

- the "hangup" hardware button is hooked and it tries to close the active window when there is no call in progress, otherwise it terminates the call. Program simulates the stilus click over the "close" button in the top-right corner of the screen. This would close active program if PocketPlus (or similar task manager) is installed and minimize program if not.

- uninstall is now working.

Supported OSes: english, russian, italian.

Interface languages: english, russian
