Where does it create the keys? do i have to restart the phone? I have no other software other then what came with the phone if I need something else
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] niceorange:
I am also using wm6 if that makes a difference
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NexVision:
Im running WM6 as well and no problems here is info on the loaction.

To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created

Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx.

my default contact

I have added mine to the start menu ... not the START UP menu !!

So I just go to Start button it and it's there.

I have choosen this over other " Contact skins" ... I showed it to 20 popel here at work ( IT support ) .. and they all said this one was the best looking contact manager .. but it would be nice if there was an add button, and you could see addresses etc.. Mind you saying that .. other PIM's .. link to the " default outlook" PIM... and then when you close the outlook pim .. it goes back .. I'm sure folk would be happy to test and help develop this fab programme

Hi Nadavi,

Did install sdkcert.cab, but it still dont work.

- Installed sdkcert.cab

- Soft Reset

- Installed iContact.cab

- Soft Reset

Same error message.

It´s no big hassel, but would have been nice to replaced the orginal contact´s list:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Nadavi:
Install the SDKCERT and without SR install my cab file.

details..blank

When i click one contact.. i can see only GSM Phone & home phone.. no other details.. and when i click on the name again.. the full details is blank. i can see only white screen in the Summary Page?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mobile-n3rd:
Thank you!

Hey! I really like this nice peace of program! Version 4 really fits to the style of my phone! The only thing i would really appreciate would be a built in "page" for every contact with Address and an option to call, send email or sms out of the contact list just like in "FingerFriendlyFriends" (which is also good but i dont want a keyboard and theres no "look what i can do with my thumb" feeling).

I really like the smooth flow of your program and would like to use it as standard without allways beeing remembered that when i want to dial a number i found in this great looking contact list... that ugly ms "at least it works" outlook thing pops up and ruins my eyecandy...

I think i'm not the only one having this NEED :)

Thank you for everything you've done and will do in the future (i hope)!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cagarrinho:
I install your Cab file and all work correctly, now i want to roll back and i uninstall icontact but i cant open the regular contact, can you tech-me how?

what i need to change use the standard contacts program?

Tank you!

I just found right now!!

For Windows as default CM (default):

[HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai\:MSCONTACTS]

"1" value = ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] powerwoot:
This icontact is a really really good app, it is enabled us to search contacts by single handed. However got to uninstall it, after monitoring the program memory indicator bar keep on increasing everytime icontact being open. Tried to free the ram and clean any running hidden apps using wktask and memaid but not much help, only soft reset the device will do.

Uninstalling icontact no such strange behavior happened. BTW, I am using atom black with WM6.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NexVision:
Had the same problem here I uninstalled and am now using pocketcm 1.16 and I love it scrolling is not as smooth but it is fully loaded not the same concept as this though and icontact is a contact viewer pocketcm is a contact manager.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tivorocks:
Actually this did not work for me. After the registry edit to ":MSOUTLOOK contacts", launching CONTACTS via the Start Menu gave me an error message with the red "x" of death. I have been searching and can't find the defaut WM6 CONTACTS program. CALENDAR.exe is under \Windows\ but the only thing I can find that resembles the CONTACTS program is also under \Windows\ and is CONTACTS.cmd file. But this isn't the correct file.

I have reinstalled iContacts v0.3 which just fine for me. Can someone help me get the WM6 Start Menu icon linked back to the default WM6 CONTACTS program?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Create a text file (eg. Contacts.txt), paste this into it:

21#:MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000

Then transfer it to your device and change its extension to .lnk (so Contacts.txt becomes Contacts.lnk) - now it should launch standard outlook contacts list. If it does, just put it into your start menu.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tivorocks:
Thank you I'll do it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mikenico:
newbie

hi I have installed Icontacts and the phone list comes ok,but how do i make a call from the list,sorry bit dumb as new to this.any help would be great

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] 32str8:
UPDATE v0.4, 09.11.2007.

This version should fix a bug or two, but may introduce some as well. It should fix the most obvious bug with contact name length.

It also introduces a way to look into contact details. But is merely a test and isn't very usable at the moment. Tapping on the contact name will open standard pocket outlook contact details.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spino_ooo:
change icon?

hello all,

the standard icon associated with the program is not much significant.

If I'm not totally mistaken, I would suggest to associate a dedicated icon in a next release of the executable.

In the meantime, is anybody aware of a method to associate a different icon?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
You can change any icon or bitmap in just about any program using software called resource hacker (google for it). Just make sure that the new icon you supply is in the same format as original icon (size, number of colors). And don' forget to backup the executable file before modifying it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] spino_ooo:
hi, that kind of programs are able to "open" only win32 executables.

it you open a wm executable with, for instance, reshack or XN Resource Editor, the file is empty, no editable resources.

As of now I did not find any editor explicitly suitable for wm executables.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Well, i've modified ppcProfiles Pro, which is a WM5 app to match my today theme ;)

I just checked and it seems that iContact simply has no icon or other resources compiled in at all - that's why it shows up as empty in reshacker. But it does work for other apps :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] akastixx:
i like this app alot.

i prefer 0.3 so i use that. i've installed it on a 6700 i used to have and my 6800. i bought a 6700 for my brother and when i install 0.3 and run it, it acts weird. when you press "ABC" at the bottom, instead of one grid popping up, multiple grids appear (the screen doesnt refresh as the grid "grows") and when you let go of the button or choose a letter, the grids don't go away. I remember it happening before, but I can't remember what I did to fix it. any suggestions anyone?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Hi akastixx,

Have you tried the 0.4 version? Does it act the same way?

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hekokimushi:
good work Larna

any chance to have iContact v0.5 to have

- the photos of the profile to display once selected as well??

- more contact's info : address, birthday, e-mail,

- an alphabetic bar on the right hand side (as seen on iPhone or video below)

- editing function on the expanded profile

- favorites, missed calls, function to send SMS from the expanded profile (like funContacts)

- and one big delete button at the bottom

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbAA5LAEAdI

and would yourself or A_C can develop a dialing skin as well??

i love to programme but i don't know what tools to use.

1 more question on S2U2, after accepting a call (slide or YES/NO) the S2U2.exe quits. so i can never see the S2A End Key. I am using a HTC touch. also in the Caller ID option, when select Full screen, the quality of the Full Screen pic is low even with a high res pic. any chance to fix that please??

thanks in advance.

nelson
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
I think you're in the wrong thread if you're looking for S2U2 support :)

However, regarding iContact, my goal is to make an application for fast and cool finding of contacts. So i don't plan to add lots of features that don't mean too much to me. And i really don't have that much free time to add any features at all.

I'm working on other projects, other than my pay job, like multitouch applications, work productivity and few other interesting, but more simple stuff. None of them related to PocketPC. :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splal:
Ever think of making iContact opensource? that way other developers can carry on with your work?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] user_x:
The iContact.exe-file does not contain any resources, hence ResourceHacker won't show any. You can still add an icon if you like. This is how to do it if you have an icon-file (example.ico) at hand:

Open iContact.exe with ResourceHacker, then choose "Action > Add new Resource" from the menu. Push the "Open file with new resource"-button and browse to your icon-file. Upon choosing an icon-file the "Resource Type" will default to "ICONGROUP". Add a "Resource Name" of your choice and hit "Add Resource". Save the exe-file. Done.

I like the application a lot, but am unable to close it through WkTask's (v.1.1.7.3b) close-button on an LG-KS20. Instead I have to terminate the application. That's sad. Everything else - the scrolling, the look, the letter-grid, the size - is just great.

I'm definitely looking forward to future releases (it would be nice if the right-bottom field of the letter grid, which as of now is empty, could be used as a close-button).

BUG REPORT

It's COOL

I can't close the program prorperly at once.

I have to close the program in the control panel..

Plz fix it..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Christian72D:
It won´t display work-numbers with my contacts and i´m also not able to close this app.

But it´s the fastest way i ever saw to browse my contects. So i´d love to see further minimal enhancement.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo3D:
Feature Request

THANK YOU VERY MUCH for this app!! It kicks butt and way better than the original HTC scroll engine.

Would it be possible to move the "ABC" alphabet-direct-shortcut hotzone from the bottom right of the screen to the top right? Then, we can still run TouchFlo and the finger action to bring up the "ABC" screen won't also bring up the TouchFlo cube.

Other than that, it's great! I don't think we need photos on this thing, that would slow down the smoothness of this. Remember, the iPod runs on a 667Mhz cpu and the Touch is only 400Mhz.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo3D:
Can anyone confirm this? When I tap a contact, it only shows mobile & home contact details.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gotvitamink:
For me, when I tap a contact's name, their "gsm private" and "home" phone numbers show up. On that screen, when you tap their name above the numbers, it opens up the standard outlook details.

Hope that answers your question.

-K
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo3D:
Thanks that works.

BTW, I just installed and tested the contacts app from pocketcm.com and I must say that it's a very comprehensive app. However, its design and scrolling isn't as polished as iContacts. I think the perfect contacts app would be a merger of these two.

Any hopes of that? :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Don't think so - iContact is designed to be small and fast, while pocketCM is packet with features, but rather bulky, and last i tested it, it took ages to load - works best if you keep it open all the time, and just minimize it, and that takes up precious RAM.

I like iContact for what it is - just a simple but extremely easy to use and eyecandy app ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fougiama:
sniff

Thanks...

So it doesn't work on LG KS20... snifff or it work on Qtek S200...!!!

Are you the same problem ??? thanx (and happy new year)

(I'm sorry for ma english... i'm just french. lol)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ejoy:
My brother is trying to get your iContacts program to work with his Mogul. It runs and works great, but currently the only way to run it is to use File Explorer and manually run the program .exe. Is there any way to install it on the phone as a program, so we can remap his buttons to use iContact with the touch of a single button??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
All you have to do is to create a shortcut to iContact.exe somewhere in your start menu, and you will be able to map icontacts by buttons applet in control panel. Or you can install softkey applet to map it to one of the Today screen softkeys.

Total commander and most other file explorers will allow you to create shortcuts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cacahahacaca:
Actually, pocketCM loading times have been greatly improved. You should try out the latest version 0.18 ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cacahahacaca:
Actually, only the Sprint Touch runs at 400Mhz. The other HTC Touches run at 201 Mhz. Though you can always overclock a little.... :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hekokimushi:
Touch is only 201MHz isn't it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Not to mention that some people use it on Wizards with stock clock @195Mhz

And still, it works great and incredibly smooth.

I think contact photos are really not that needed. If someone wants pictures, go grab the pocketCM. If (like me) you just want the ease of use, simplicity and speed - iContact is the best app around :)

Thanks for that, Larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ToyoZa:
Can anyone tell me how to hack the dialer? I want it to open iContact when I press "Contacts" button instead of the regular one. I'm using xv6700 with Helmi's WM6. :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mikelevel:
still development?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Not very much i'm afraid, but as with other things, i may pick it up someday again to add few features. That is, if i find some free time. :)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Mikelevel:
i hope you find free time. i love icontact :)

Little feature request:

- Add some method to translate or translations (if you want a spanish translator , here i am ;))

- in info screen buttons to call , videocall, sms and mms

With this 2 things icontact will be perfect for me.

Thanks for all
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xander803:
Memory leak

I'm also experiencing a huge memory leak. Everytime I minimize and reopen the application it will suck about 500kb without releasing it. Has the developer addressed the issue? I'm using the most recent .4 version. I find the program excellent and it's exactly what I'm looking for but in its current state I don't think I can use it. I'm using wm6 on a htc herald. Perhaps it's something isolated to wm6?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bib_x:
I have a problem with icontact too:

I have a Xda orbit 2 (HTC Tocuh Cruise) with the original HTC-Cube.

I can´t except the icontact.exe in the cube, because there is no Task running with this name.

Any idea?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Splal:
Why don't you make the project open source or pass it to another developer
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jerod429:
Thanks Larna

Larna, This is one of the coolest apps I've tried on my Wing. Thanks for the hard work and I'll be looking forward to all updates in the future. I'm Lovin' the bottom right alpha-app!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] s14tam:
Larna, this is an awesome app. Currently not useble for me though because of the memory issue. I have a htc herald p4350 with Touch-IT ROM and the program will not terminate with the X or end keys so it will consume more and more memory everytime i launch it.

I think if you could add an option for a way to terminate the program after a contact is launched then it would be perfect! Please Please keep up the good work!

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpiggae:
Anyone know of a way to skin this program? That would be very nice.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] drpiety:
not working on Orbit2/touch cruise. at second launch it looks like matrix, screen black lots of boxes and no contacts shown.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaY87:
Please don't give up this project.

Like this app very much!

:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Takiyon:
Unfortunately it does not work with my Blue Angel. I would have loved to see it. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kavuraki:
Hi guys;

when i need to use this programme should i run it by file explorer? or is there any other way like making shortcut on today screen? sorry, i'm a newbie pda user.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mrpiggae:
I have iContact set to the "Contacts" button (right softkey) on my today screen. Here's how:

Place iContact.exe in the /Programs Files folder on your device. Get Schaps Registry Editor from here on the forum. Now go here:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/113

...if key 113 doesn't exist then you'll need to create it by holding the stylus down and choosing to create a new key and name it "113". Now open that key and create a new value. Leave the name as default but change the value to "Contacts" (without parenthesis) (of course, if that key already existed you can just leave this value alone). Now create a new value and change the name from "Default" to "Open" and make sure the type is "String". Now change the "Value" to "/Program Files/iContact.exe" (without parenthesis) (again, if the 113 key already existed for you then you'll just need to modify this value).

That should do it. You should now have iContact as your default contact app being launched from your right soft key. I put the standard contact app in my start menu so I could also easily access that one to add new contacts and what not.

Now, you said you were a newbie, so be warned: Altering your registry can severely damage your device, so do so ONLY if what I wrote makes perfectly clear sense to you. You can PM me if you'd like some extra help.

Hope I could help.

-D.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Aqrab:
cant close this app

and need to improve

please update it :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EQUiLiiBRiUM:
Yes ! Last thing that should Happen is for this app to Stop. I was hoping with good Production and More features people would Soon Cook this into there Roms.... I'd be willing to Donate for an OEM Package for when I make My own Roms

things I'd Like to see in this App:

*All #'s Listed in stead of Just the Mobile #

*A Picture to come up with the details when you Click on a Name

* The ABC at Corner that Controls COntacts A-Z to be Stationnary when Pressed and then to go back to Icontacts.

All in All GREAT APP please continue....:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Krnboi037:
hey how do i install icontacts because when i doulbe click the Exe it only shows MYfaves
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] inestain:
no new version?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Jimbo73:
I have a Hermes100 and have downloaded ver 0.4 and it does not work at all...

I get broken lines, and that is all really.... It would be great if its works?

Any ideas anyone....?????
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anushian:
* Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS

* Change "String 1" value from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts to "\Program Files\iContact.exe". (or wherever you installed the icontacts.exe to)

Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.

Hope this helps. I did this for my HTC Wizard and it worked well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] alipendier:
I just tried this on WM5 and there is no value under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS. I am using the Nargz iPhone eten dialer, any ideas? Thanks:cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jadephyre:
this is a cool app :)

and now that i'm on WM6, i can actually use it :)

please don't stop developing it, it looks very promising.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] inneyeseakay:
any chance someone can post or email the cab? when i dl the zip, it says its corupted
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xvicx:
Wow this is a realy cool app! Keep'up your wonderfull work. thank for sharing what you have done
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] polos13:
wow very cool app and very easy to use

works fine on my touch cruise

thanks man !!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo3D:
the animation, smoothness and speed of this thing kicks butt over pocketcm.

has development on this stopped?

that would be sad. :(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PaSSoA:
Absolutely love iContact, tried pocketcm but found it too unfriendly and complicated, all I was looking for was a contact manager that scrolls and dials normally when selected, didn't need the fancy sms or phone functions.

Hope the development of this continues :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
Can't wait for the next version, I hope it comes soon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Neo3D:
Actually, if this app allowed you to go directly to the default contact page when you touch the name, that would be good enough for me.

Right now, it takes 2 touches to get there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boolat:
hello

use htc3600 Faman 3.3

How to install iContact V0.4 ?

thx help
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bigshape:
i much prefer the interface of icontact to pocketcm - looks a lot smoother.

i'm using the 0.3 version still as i prefered the way it goes directly into the contacts rather than having to tap twice as some other people have stated.

also, is there a way to add a new contact?

i have editde the registry so that the dialer uses icontact but now it is not possible to go into the standard contacts program to add a contact...
