Thanks Mamaich, just downloaded and tested. Results below:

Options 1, 2 & 3 worked great.

Option 4 other settings work but the bind a program does not (for myself anyways), also the search only searches the storage card not the device directories.

Option 5 works to close your program but still does not close the phone program (is their a way to assign the closeall.unload function to this key-would this work)

Would be nice to have (what do you and everyone else think) about having the contacts in a table format such as follows:

[All Contacts ][No Categories]

[Friends & Family][Work ]

Clients	][Business ]

Personal	][Vendors ]

Hi,iggy

The Option 5 works in my device

Re: Option 5 works to close your program but still does not

It closes the Default Phone program as well? If so I've got to figure out what is wrong.

I notice you have an XDA II, is it working for anyone else with an XDA I? If it is then is may be a sotware conflict.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JoseF:
Hi,

Yes it closes.

I´m running a qtek 2020. It works 100%

Mamaich,

GREAT new version. All works (havent tried contact remap).

:D

:?: BUT: Would like better readable font. Bold would do too (I use the app in car, where with direct sunlight on the screen the glare makes the text hard to read)

Keep up the good work :!:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
I'll fix the directories in the next build.

Binding worked for me. Have you checked "bind a programm to the button" option?

It closes the phone program on my device. If the call is active you have to press this button twice - first to cancel the call and second to close a window.

I'll try to add a font selection option to the next build.

Making contacts as a table would require to rewrite my GUI code completely, so I would not add this feature. But if someone would write such a code (in C++), I'll use it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Completely understand, would it be possible to then increase the box size to easier use with your thumb?

Now being able to close with the End Key makes your app. indispensable. Thank you again. Great work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
Mamaich, this is possibly the most useful little hack I've ever seen for the XDA2. Your contacts add-on for the phone is now indespensible for me, so I would like to offer my huge thanks and congratulations on a job well done!

Now if only you could fix the appalling direction pad button ;) I could perhaps control your software more accurately!

(Actually, joking aside - I'm thinking as I write - it might be useful if you could let us disable the left-right control of the list so we only use the 'Back/Next' buttons at the bottom of the screen to move through the categories. At the moment I often accidentally press left/right on the direction pad as I'm scrolling up/down looking for a category or contact and this takes me to a different screen. If I could choose to have your software ignore left/right button presses I would find it much more reliable. Just a thought. :) )
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j_metselaars:
Could anyone please mail me this softwarepiece? I tried to download, but I really can't reach the server! Hope anyone can help me!!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] j_metselaars:
Thanx!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
I'll make this an option. I'll try to make dial/hangup hardware buttons work as next/back.

I'll try to add a font selection to my program and the box size would increase automatically if you select a large font. But this can look ugly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mindracing:
This app is coming on just great. Definately a saleable item IMHO!

I would like to be able to skin the buttons. Could this be done?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edsub:
Mamaich: PLEASE make assignment of call/hangup buttons configurable. Personally I would not like such an assignment.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] atkhobby:
Page up/down?

Hi,

First of all let me congratulate you with a great add-in!

One thing I would much like to see is page up/down screen buttons. I use categories but some of those still contain quite a number of names/companies. Would it be possible to place two additional keys in the bottom of the screen like this?

<Back> <PgUp> <PgDn> <Next>

It should be room enough....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] UniqueTouch:
mamaich just wanted to thank you for such a wonderful utility.

Now I can use my XDAII with one hand to make calls :)

I'm not sure if you are taking requests but in case you are can you look into this for me...

My contacts do not have "Catergories" set, so when I press on "Contacts" on the phone I get presented with the choice of "All Contacts" or "No Catergories". Maybe in the distant future I may caterogise my contacts, but at the moment this creates an extra press for me.

Would it possible for you to make this in option with the settings part you have made already for (first/last,last/first). Just to have a tick box with show "All Contacts" by default.

Would be great if you could add this, and i'm sure others may want the choice too.

At the end of they day, it's you application and it's up to you.

Either way, I just want to thank you again for making this application :)

P.s. 1st post here as I just found this forum via google.

Any chance of you porting it over to 2002 OS?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Can't get it to work

No. But I can provide source code if someone is willing to do this.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edsub:
Just a tip for all using Mamaich's super-tool.

Scrolling can be done via tthe D-pad.

When you have to scroll a lot, maybe it is an idea to create (sub) categories per (group of) letters (A, B, C, ....)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lummac:
How do you install this programm?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] edsub:
just run the exe on your pc.

Active sync will take car of the copy & install on the MDAII.

Alternatively, you can open the exe with winrar and extract the appropiate .cab to put it in your extended rom (so the tool gets installed after the next hard-reset.

Re: Can't get it to work

That would be helpful. I haven't programmed for the Pocket PC yet, but I plan to take it up.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Can't get it to work

I've updated archive http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/cproghook.rar

New in this build:

- added "Téléphone" window hook (not tested, I assume that "é" has 0x00E9 code in unicode),

- left/right joystick buttons no longer behave as back/next buttons (but you can return the old behaviour with "enable left/right joystick buttons" option),

- green hardware button now works as "next", red as "back" or closes the "contacts" window. When "hangup in contacts works as "back"" option is on - red works as "back", when off - it closes the "contacts" window.

- "groups" window is not shown when there are no groups used (not tested).

Known bugs:

- only storage card directories are shown in "bind a program to a button" dialog. But you can type any path in the edit box.

- PocketPC sometimes hangs just after reboot when my program starts. Another reboot usually helps.

Todo:

- PageUp/PageDown buttons,

- font selection,

- skins,

- language packs.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
mamaich, this just gets better and better! I love the fact that I can use the green button to move onwards through the categories and contacts, and finally press it to dial the chosen number! Very cool indeed. The Hangup button works perfectly in every situation - this is probably the most useful side-effect of your excellent little prog. :D :D :D

I have one more leeeetle suggestion though: :) Even when there is only one number for a selected contact it would be useful (to me) to see that number before I dial it. At the moment if a contact has only one number and I press the 'Next' screen button or the green HW button my XDA2 dials the number automatically without showing me what it's dialling. I dunno how other people feel about this but the program is now so easy to use that there is no need to keep the number of button presses to a minimum, so this final press is still useful.

@ Edsub:

How do I create sub-categories for my contacts? I didn't realise I could do this but in one of your earlier posts you suggest this method for people who have a long list of categories. At the moment I think I can only put contacts into one (or more) of a list of categories, which are then displayed by mamaich's app. Thanks in advance! :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Hello Mamaich, SiliconS has a good idea here with respect to point 1.

With respect to Point 2, Edsub I created new categories using 4 letters ABCD, etc. and deleted them from but when I started Mamaich's contacts program it show the old and new categories, anyway to change this?

Or, Mamaich is their a way to only show categories that are not empty?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Sorry another question, is it possible to set it that pressing the centre of the D-Pad starts contacts? Anyone think this is good\bad?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sacaman:
@mamaich

I try it but he dont work in french OS

can you try for the hex code for the Téléphone (é) in this site

http://www.asciitable.com/

thanks for you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
I've updated archive http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/cproghook.rar

In this version:

- french OS should be supported now

- file selection is now done with shareware version of tgetfile.dll (http://tillanosoft.com/ce/tgetfile.html), so you can map any EXE file located anywhere to the "contacts" button

- added an option to ignore categories for contacts (this is off by default)

- added an option to show a phone number even when contact has only one number (this is off by default)

- added a small help file for control panel applet

- red button no longer produces "beep" sound when used to close an active window

- pressing the joystic centre in "Phone" application or moving it down activates the "Contacts"

- hopefully program no longer hangs on startup.

Mamaich, exxxxcellent, I am satisfied. Unless like Zendrui you can get it to make coffee. Great Job.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] interestingfellow:
Hi ya'll.

Thank you Mamaich!

Ok, I do have one and a half problems.

Problem 1:

I can't keep your program running, and when it stops, I have to uninstall/reinstall in order to get it to work.

If I softreset, your prog doesn't reload (after the initial softreset)

If I click on the icons (with or without the phone app running) nothing happens.

I don't think it's pocketnav, becuase your app is still running after I use Pnav to kill all processes, and then relaunch the phone.

UPDATE: I have a cproghook help and cfg file ,and two cprog (93k and 14b) files in my windows dir, as well as cproghook in my startup folder.

I also have MS$, Pocketnav, IIWPO, agile messanger, td launch, convertce, pocket tv remote, sys. snapshot, regedit, and a few games from lumpi's kitchen installed. Other than that, I re-organized my programs folder structure. Would moving the shortcut to the phone from programs to //programs/phone/ effect phone extension?

Any suggestions/ideas???

Problem 1/2:

LUMPISTEPHAN --->Please add this app to your kitchen! :D

Sorry if it's already there, I don't recall seeing it last time I cooked
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
No

If cproghook.exe is hanging in the process list, this means that cprog.exe (a "Phone" program) is not started or my program cannot hook it or there is a heavy CPU load. cproghook terminates itself after injecting new button into "Phone" application, so if you kill and restart "Phone" my button would disappear. It would reappear after you start cproghook.exe or reboot.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
I would try removing PocketNav, i've notice that the RedKey close does not work when PocketNav is working, maybe the same problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dangel:
Not working at all since i upgrade to 1.72 ROM :( Was very nice before tho (thanks!)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] SiliconS:
It's working for me, dangel. I just upgraded to O2 UK ROM 1.72 and this wonderful little tool is still working perfectly.

More than this, when I use the SRS tool to go into landscape mode, mamaich's Red-phone-button-closes-current-window feature still works! Good job!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Blackolive:
takes a long time

Hi. Great app thanks, only two issues. I have lots of contacts (more than 1000) and both scrolling and moving between screens takes a long time (5secs + to get the the categories screen when I hit contact button etc). Can it be made faster?

second issue - lots of my contacts are email only, they dont have phone numbers. Can they be excluded from the list somehow?

I am new to this all - first time PDA owner.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TurboPirk:
...a deutsch version would also be nice... =)

Hello mamaich,

I'd be glad to try your hack too. Would it be very difficult to integrate support for a "Telefon" labeled prog? Or maybe a registry key that can be set according to the program label?

Big thanks if you can integrate it during your next hack session =)

Greetings

hi there....very good app u got there..

just a silly question...how can i uninstall ur app to update it?

as i tried varies ways to just update it straightaway it doesn't seems to work...

the problem will prompt "file in use \windows\startup\cproghook.exe is use or ROM."

tried to delete the file it says in use......

I have tried doing it in flight mode as well...doesn't work with me

hope u can help..thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mangal:
i think u have to move the file out of the startup folder, then soft reset and try uninstall it again... --- b sure to delete it later...

if not still, i recommend to rename the startup folder to something else, then soft reset and try uninstall it again -- later delete the file from the renamed startup folder, and rename the startup folder back to normal...

hope this helps...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zoom:
the problem is that the startup folder apparently is "Locked" cannot be deleted
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mangal:
try my 2nd choice - rename the startup folder.. i know the file in the startup folder is locked, but if u try renaming the whole folder, it's ok.. then del. the file,and rename the startup folder back to normal...

Small bug with latest version

Thanks so much for an excellent and useful tool. I would be happy to make a donoation to you to support the development of this application. My problem is with categories. When I lookup by categories items sometimes end up in two categories. My categories where this happens are "business" and "personal business". Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mamaich:
Re: Small bug with latest version

I don't understand.

I don't have time to support this program. I can give the full source code to anyone willing to continue working on it. The code is written in C++ and is rather ugly.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pocket Me:
Hi mamaich, I think your program is very useful.What a pity that you cannot keep developing. I really want it to be improved continuously. So could you pls send me your source code (in C++) . I will study and keep developing it (if I can) comply with the rules: "this program is based and improved on source code from mamaich".

I'm going to improve some features:

-Fixing the display of contact list window in land scape mode (WM2003SE).

-Improving the options window GUI.

-Developing the quick scroll buttons and the search function in contact list window.

-Option to enable/disable using D-PAD to launch program.

-And more features are based on user opinions...

Thanks for your considering!

Remove/uninstall 'First Last Telephone Extension' by Mamaich

How do I remove / uninstall ‘First Last’ Telephone extension program from my imate? Each time I try to uninstall, it stops since “ \Windows\phonehook.dll “ is in use or read only. I tried finding this file by using file explorer but cant see it in the windows directory. Please advise

I installed the latest version in this thread, but for some reason I cannot use the control app. I can only find a file called ctlpnl in the windows folder, which is the control pannel file guess. But opening it manually does not do anything, e.g. I cannot open it, nothing happens. I also can find no options tab or anything in the contacts screen itself, so I have no way of using all the nice functions Mamaich put in there, only the standard app as it is after installing. Any tips please? thanks in advance!

CANT Get the program working on my XDA II

Hi Mamiach,

I wish I can use this program. I have gone through all the postings and i am keen to try this application. I hv down loaded first the rar. file and then tried with the exe file . In both i get error saying not a valid windows CE application.

Is it because I hv 2002 on my XDA II..?

How can I use the program. (I am new to XDA and all this software stuff ) Pl help.

Thanks

Re: CANT Get the program working on my XDA II

My program supports WM2003 SE and first edition, it is incompatible with older versions. You may try to use a hex editor like HIEW and edit "OS version" field in CprogHook.exe and phonehook.dll files of my program and change them to 3.0. This may help.
