2. mobile data works on the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4, I don't know about any other phones.

3. Read-only system partition will be the default, Click packages will install into a read-write user space. Enabling developer mode will set the system partition to read-write as well and give you apt again.

4. Yup, whether it's installed or not, on the phone or on the desktop, you can always find your apps in the Dash.

5. I don't think there was ever any code written for the twitter app, but you can bzr branch lp:ubuntu-twitter-app (same with lp:ubuntu-facebook-app). We still ship the Twitter webapp in the default device image, and that's the one Twitter wanted people to use.

6. The GMail webapp works, yes.

7. Come hang out in #ubuntu-app-devel and #ubuntu-touch on Freenode IRC. Last week, this week and next week we're picking one app per day to focus on with new contributors, so it's a great time to get involved: http://developer.ubuntu.com/2013/07/announcing-the-ubuntu-core-apps-hack-days/

And of course I should mention that if you happen to be at the XDA Developers Conference in Miami next month, I'll be there running a workshop on developing Ubuntu Touch applications and will be happy to answer any and all questions.

5. i tried to download it on my laptop via terminal. it worked, but when i opened it, nothing was there :D just a Label saying "Twitter". You were right.

6. Are all apps gonna be webapps? Or is it just because it's not released yet? Because these Webapps are horrible! All of them.

7. Thank You very much! I'll follow the hackdays :D

Here's another program in the style of RingtoneX and Caller-ID.

Magician users might already know it, because I started telling about it here. But I think it's a bit too well hidden there, and I'd like to know if it works on other devices as well...

Ringtones seem to work fine on MDAc with a reasonable number of contacts, while I've got a feedback it doesn't work on an MDA II with over 500 contacts. I don't know whether it's because of the device or the number of contacts, so just try if it works for you, and give me some feedback...

SMS notification sounds should work on all devices, but it might need a soft reset to activate the messaging plug-in. This plug-in can be used by other programmers as well: If you create a registry key with <window title>=<window handle> (as DWord) in HKLM\Software\Mort\SMSNotify\Windows, you'll receive a WM_COPYDATA with a string containing "SMS\n<sender>\n<text>" whenever an SMS comes in...

Oh, btw: As all my other programs, this will remain free, but I gratefully accept PayPal donations to mort@sto-helit.de...

Hi Mort,

would you be so kind to upload some screenshots of your application? I would like to see, how the program's gui is done.

TIA,

[General Topics] Mort:
Here you are...

Don't expect too much, it's been made to work for me, not to look pretty... ;)

The call and sms popups are not modified, i.e. the one of Windows is used. I only replace the registry entry for the ringtone resp. sms notification sound...
[General Topics] Bubisch:
Your App is great! Are there any changes to Ver. 0.5?
[General Topics] Mort:
The SMS sound is reset a second after the notification was handled and on exit, so it won't set the most recently used one as default on next startup.

Addionally, there are now three "pseudo" categories for all other numbers: contacts without assigned number (either direct or by category), unknown numbers, and calls with supressed numbers. The sounds for these categories are set to the currently used ones as defaults until the category settings are saved.
[General Topics] ezzkht:
Mort, you are just GREAT!

Thanks 8)
[General Topics] alkandery75:
It is really amazing specially changin SMS tone :shock: .... Keep it up.... I hope if you could....:

- Include all rings under Windows folder and sub folders cause there is no need to copy all tones in /Windows to /Windows/Rings...

- The ability to set Tones in Storage Card.

- The ability to listen to the Tone before setting it.

- The ability to view the Recent Caller Name not only number...

I will keep testing it and let you know ASAP :D ... Waiting for your next release :P , do not be late :wink: ...
[General Topics] Mort:
In fact, the SMS tone even was more easy to achieve...

Both of this is not possible as such, because the Windows call program doesn't support paths in the used registry values. (That's why RingtoneX copies the files of other folders to \Windows\Rings...)

But can can modify the path for the ringtones in the registry. It's stored in the Value "Directory" of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring. MortRing uses this value, too (because I use \Storage\Ring).

But currently, MortRing will list ALL contained files of this directory, as I didn't want to limit it too much. Thus, setting it to \Windows would make choosing a ringtone taking quite a while...

Currently, all I could do would be opening the file, so it's played by WMP or the "Pictures" application (which also plays MMF, MID, and some other audio codecs...). I don't know of a simple way to play anything but WAV directly in my app.

Technically, that would be no problem, but I think the default "missed calls" list is far better for this. The output's mostly for debugging reasons anyway...
[General Topics] casper131:
Guys, the most sophisticated gadget I ever had prior to owning the Magician is a Sony Ericsson P800. Judging by how confused I am with the Magician's set message alert tone / ringtone capability as it is now, kindly explain, as you would explain it to a child, how Mort's program works.

Thanks!
[General Topics] Mort:
After installation, the program's in the autostart folder. After a soft reset, you'll see a tray icon that looks like a cell phone.

If you tap this icon, a popup menu appears. The most important entries are "Contacts" and "Categories".

In "Categories" you can assign ring- and sms tones to the contact categories. If a contact has multiple categories, the order of the list in this dialog is used. I.e., if a contact has both "Private" and "Friends", it will take the "Friends" settings if it's in the list prior to "Private".

In "Contacts" you can assign ring- and sms tones to single contacts, thus overriding the category settings. The currently used category ringtone (or "*other contacts*") is shown there if no specific contact ringtone is set. To remove a contact ringtone (and this way restoring the category setting), press the fitting "X" button ("X"=remove). It's only activated if a contact ringtone's assigned.

Hmmm so after 500 contacts we should start deleting HAHAHHA :D I think this is not such a big issue and with your skill you'll probably figure it out. So the best of luck Mort. Great App... BTW I am using v0.5d with 445 Contacts :P

Hey Mort

This is a great program.

I am using it on my XDA Mini and it's so much better than the CallID program that comes with the phone.

Good work.
[General Topics] Timmeh:
Mort you are great.

I now use this, MortSaver and MortPlayer!

Whats the latest version of MortSaver by the way?
[General Topics] Mort:
b32.

It now uses the SMS notification of MortRing, which should improve stability in this area a lot...
[General Topics] PH:
Mort,

Great idea, and certainly easier to use than Photo Contacts. Only issue I've noticed on my Mini is that MortRing does not show certain people in Contacts list (in MortRing), and the ring tone seems to be incorrect during the call (it uses one a few categories down), whereas it is correct in the Contact list. I have under 300 contacts, but some may have multiple entries, which may cause it to exceed 500 I suppose.

Any fixes?

BTW, you don't by any chance have an offspring named Susan, do you?
[General Topics] Mort:
That's strage... Are they shown if you "Search" them?

If the correct one is shown in the "Recent call" message of MortRing (popup menu), it's probably the timing problem. I don't have a good and working solution for that currently... It seems like the only way would be to kill and restart the system's call program, but that's quite risky - if something goes wrong, you won't notice the call at all...

Not in RL... ;)
[General Topics] Eddieh31:
hey is it possible to update this program so it does not unload itself from memory everytime i launch another program or run a backup (stop processes option is turned off). having to restart the option manually is frustrating.

i have a PDA2K with 30 MB free with Rom 1.40
[General Topics] Mort:
In theory, it shouldn't be stopped as it is. Either something's going wrong on your system, or your free memory is very small...

Are you sure it's really unloaded? Hidden windows aren't shown in most task lists. As long as the tray icon is visible and works, all is fine...

Anyway, here's a version which ignores WM_CLOSE, which should help in most "automatically closed" cases.

It also includes another approach to use lineSetAppPriority. Please tell me whether it works or if you get additional "unknow" entries in the call history again...
[General Topics] PH:
Yes, they show up in a search, but not in list.

No, the recent call list the wrong tone as well. The funny thing is that it's a tone that is use for a totally different category; if it had not been recognised, it would have played a different tune.
[General Topics] PRTEQ:
No I want to remove the Phone Contact not yours.

I thougth tha MortRunner was to improve tha voice comand program but I don't know how to use it.

What is your webpage?
[General Topics] Mort:
It's a setup program for the desktop, i.e. you have to execute it there. It'll be installed by ActiveSync then.

I don't know about VoiceCommand. I think it might be handy to run MortRunner scripts with VoiceCommand (e.g. to "Click" on the message icon or enter recipients in a new message), but there's no direct connection. But I found MortRunner's often used in combination with other programs like PhoneAlarm, PocketZenPhone, GoFast (tool for MN|5), and such.

My page's www.sto-helit.de, but the English part's still "very basic" currently. (Well, at least the download section works...)

Suggestion/Request

Dear Mort,

If possible, a CAB file would be great to have. To carry around on a flash card and be able to reinstall in case of emergency. :)
[General Topics] PRTEQ:
hi. the only way to use a song as a ringtone is puting it in the windows/rings file? because it take to much memory space. or maybe some of you know how to cut a song and copy only 30 seconds of the son in the windows/rings file, is that possible ?

Please advise.
[General Topics] GerooTech:
Choosing a ringtone

i am wondering why, when i am trying to choose a ring toon for an account or a group it lists all files in the windows directory, but if i am choosing a ringtoon for sms it is only display the supported files.
[General Topics] bulalo:
Hi Mort,

MortRing is GREAT! Thanks for the great program. Might I suggest one feature?

a) photo contacts (both for incoming/outgoing calls and sms) - so that i can totally disable this bloody buggy caller id which came with my 02 mini. the only reason i still use it is its photo-contact feature (which supports animated gifs, btw)

Hope that it's not too much of a task. But no worries, MortRing in itself is a wonderful add-on!

Cheers and more power!
[General Topics] Mort:
Well, combined answers again... ;)

(Most of them will be in the FAQ I've planned anyway...)

- A CAB file will come, but as long as MortRing's in beta state, it's a bit annoying to create and upload both variations every time...

- The ringtone directory can be changed with a registry entry. I currently don't know it my mind, but it's been mentioned multiple times in this thread, so it shouldn't be too hard to find. However, you shouldn't place it on storage card, since there's a high risk it's not accessable if the device's powered on by an incoming call (that's also why I don't add this feature to MortRing - it's just too risky for unexperienced users...).

- The supported file types for SMS signals are equal on every PE PPC I know, but the ones for ringtones aren't. That's why I show all files in the ringtone directory (so the supported types are available in any case), but all only the supported for SMS.

- Sorry, any enhancement to the phone popup (like photo contacts) isn't possible, because I don't replace the default ring application but only set the ringtone in time to replace it.
[General Topics] MTL:
Thanks Mort! The applauding crowds roar in excitement ... :)

Hello

I found that MortRing cause crashs with Call SMS Blocker (CSB - a freeware). When both of them are active, the CSB works only 1st time after it start. From 2nd time, it will not work until a restart

Could you please try to find the solution. CSB can be found in xda-developer too

Thank much

hi!

mortring supports the REG hack for Ringtones

--

Ringtone Hack:

Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\

Under Directory change it into \Storage\Rings[or sny folder you want but the storage works best imo]

--

yes you can cut songs to 30 secs to save space. try mp3 direct cut (freeware) you can also convert them to wma to save more space.

Working on WM5.0?

First of all, I have to say this is a GREAT program! It's a MUST-HAVE for all xda owners! & Thanx for making it FREE, Mort!

I had it on 2003SE, and it was working great. Sometimes I'd get the incorrect tone when somebody calls. But I discovered that if you exit the program, and restart it, and then refresh contacts, this will solve the problem. I remember ages ago when I used PhoneExt (on 2003), I had a similar problem, and solved it in this way too. It seems that the OS wants this kinds of programs to be loaded last (maybe?).

I recently upgraded to WM5.0, and I'm using Mortring 0.97, but I can't get it to work. The Windows Default tone keeps sounding, even though I have assigned a diff tone under the Sounds & Notifications. Have anyone got it working on WM5.0 (specifically 1.60C)?

Even tho WM5.0 allows individual ringtones in the contacts, it does not allow for indiv SMS tones... which is why MortRing is so great! Plus the fact that you can assign it to categories instead of painstakingly assigning it to each contact.

Not working again :(

:cry: :cry: :cry:

After trying out many different applications (installing & uninstalling), my XDA2 was starting to get slow & act wierd. So I decided to do a full hard-reset.

After that, I could not get mortring to work anymore.. :( :cry: . I even installed it on a clean system (installed immed after the hard reset). But everytime, I get the default ringing tone. When I click the recent number under mortring, it shows the correct number (and name) and even the correct wav file. But the sound that comes out is the default tone.

My sms tones are correct, however. So I got a half-working Mortring. It works for the incoming sms, but not for the ringtones.

Can anybody who has Mortring working be kind enough to list what is listed in these registry keys:

HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\ringtone0

HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring

UPDATE

:D :D It's Working again!! :D :D

I was tinkering around in the registry over the weekend; and re-discovered the change that I made to make it work. :idea: :idea:

I had initially set my ring directory to /windows/ring. Apparently, WM5.0 doesn't like that. With this setting, if u go to notifications and try to set the ringer to jig.wma or the others, u will not be able to do so. In fact, u can no longer exit from this window. If you have added your own files, it will allow u to select them, but would not remember them. Therefore, the default ringer always come on.

So, I changed the directory back to /windows/ and voila! it works. The drawback is that when you select the ringer tones under Mortring, it lists the entire /windows directory. It's quite a pain to have to choose from the hundreds of files.

(I am almost certain I had tried this before I posted my previous thread, but at that time, it didn't work... maybe I made a mistake somewhere)

To MORT: is there anyway you can change the prog so it only looks for .wav, or .wma, or mp3 files in the /windows directory? Just like for the SMS tones.

Wm2005 Version ?

Hi Mort

I've just upgraed to the Universal running WM2005 and Mortring lists all the files in the windows directory as the registry is set to \windows

However, in WM2005 ringtones are also picked up from My Documents on the storage card without changing the registry.

Any chance of an update to support WM2005.

problems saving / restoring information

Hello,

I'm using MortRing 0.97 on my QTEK-S100 and I have two problems.

1st.)

If I assign a ringtone to a contact and later I assign a ringtone to the contact category, the contact ringtone is reassigned to the new category ring.

In my opinion the ringtone of the contact is prioritary more than category ringtone and overwrite is not correct.

2nd.)

If I assign ringtones, the mortring soft creates two files at the install directory: "contacts" and "categories".

If I assign a ringtone to any contacts or categories, and later I select the exit option on the main menu, or I executes a soft reset,

and later I executes the mortring software (automatically from the windows start menu or manually from the install directory), and I select the contacts or categories option from the menu (to assign a new ringtone, for example), when I exit from the mortring contacts menu or categories menu, the software set the size of these files to zero and the previously assigned ring's are unset.

I have detected when I open the contact (or categories) menu option after a reset (by a soft reset or an normal exit) the previously assigned rings are prefixed with "->". This rings are unset when I exit from the rings assignation menu.

I'm confussed :(

Thank's

[General Topics] Putra:
Yes, Mortring 0.97 does not yet work on the Dopod 818 pro. I too have just recently upgraded to the Dopod from Xda2, and to my dismay, Mortring does not work. Strange, as my old Xda2 was also running WM5.0 (Buzz's 1.6C). When there's an incoming call, the tone set under *number supressed* is always played. When I click recent number under Mortring, it shows "unknown" even though it is clearly in my contacts.

SMS tones work fine, though...
