X ealier question

ok...so I read here you cannot send a text message so I do not want it to replace my normal contacts list but is there an icon that can go on the face of the phone....I use a wing so when I want to use it I can access it easier then using file explorer.......you know where the comm manager and all that stuff is at the bottom...a little icon perhaps???? Also when I open the/a contact which version is it that opens the regular contact form....I think I would prefer that version :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sakul84:
is there a way to install iContact into the phone?

It is just exe file which launches the application without instaling. that way I can not find it in my "programs" menu. If I want to launch it I have to find the exe file manually.

I tried to modify the registry so I can assign the right softkey to the iContact, but I always get a message that the device cant open the application because it is not signed with a trusted certificate...can somebody help me with this?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] santocha:
I have a P3300 with WM6, and the aplication runs very good. After instalation soft reset. I use the right button on the screen (contacts) and open IContact.

I just ask for groups of contacts, in a new release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iustinn:
Great APP!

Doesn't run good on VGA (640x480 like eten x650) and WM6 pro.

:((

Maybe if we are good larna will make it work ? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] hav0c:
Nice app. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the_rebel:
Thanks for creating iContact. This has been my contact manager since the day i found it (it has replaced PocketCM as PocketCM is heavy on resources).

Please always keep it as lightweight. Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bkazm:
Great app - it is exactly what my phone needed. Lightweight, fast, responsive, and looks good too.

One minor request that has been mentioned before - can an SMS feature be added? Not a whole program, just something that starts the WM6.1 sms app and fills in the user's phone#?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rajismine:
Why does it show only 1 contact number per person.

I mean i have 2-3 numbers for a number of contacts but it shows only one.

Can we fix this

Defects on the display

Dear Larna

Thanks for your nice work & I'm reli obsessed by the iphone alike skin when running the icontact. I've tried installing v0.3 to v0.5 with the chic black color background, however, some blank black grids appear on the top of the page when I run the icontact & it becomes normal when scrolling down to alphabet "D". Then I installed the oldest verion of v0.2 with white color background but w/o the nice/useful keyboard, it functions normally. I reli love the newer version with black color background/keyboard pop-up. Can u help me to solve this problem?

FYI, I'm using HTC Touch Cruise with WM6 Professional in Chinese traditional language.

Thanks so much in advance!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] vsitterding:
I had the same problem. I did a search for Icontacts cab file because that's all I can run on my device and get to work and found a cab version of this software. Ran it and it runs perfectly!!! I love this program :) I'm running version 2.0 though because I need to be able to select contact and send text message. I would prefer to have the black newer version but have to be able to send a text!!! AWESOME PROGRAM!!!! looks great runs fast and doesn't take up all your memory to run!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] rfarnell:
Do you have a link for the cab file?

Make sure that iContact.exe is in your Windows folder. I did this reg. edit and it works perfectly. I did not get any error message about not being a signed certificate or whatever. I love this program, very simply, very smooth, thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] slyaii:
thanks for the icontact

thanks for your hard work on this. appreciate the hard work and love for this application.

I know that some want SMS. that would be cool.

can you add a special feature on iContact such that if you type in a letter it will sort it out to the neareast person. maybe place it on top of ABC so that I can pull up a keypad to type in. Thanks!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Fresh2Death:
wow!! i love this WAY BETTER THAN POCKETCM!!!!!!! nice job!!! wasnt even expecting this!

iContact startup problem...

hey there,

iContact 0.5 worked perfect for a few days. But now, as I start up iContact it

just shows me the top bar a black screen and the bottom bar.

The only thing that appears ist the abc button on the right bottom. If I push it, i some weird grids appear.

And thats it. :-(

I love this prog so please help me.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gotvitamink:
awesome

Tihs software is awesome. I've been using it since 0.2 i think. It has come a very long way i love it haha.

a sidenote - If i have notes for a contact, the notes display under the icontact's "details view" (The screen where you tap to dial a number) If the note is long it gets cut off and if u tap on it, the program returns back to the list of contacts. It's not a biggie, and it doesnt bother me, but i'm just bringing it up in case no one has noticed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] myownregister:
thanks aneto for posting this quick fix for non-phone pda. works perfectly on my old ipaq hx2495! :)

most of all, thank you larna for this new update! i hope you can somehow integrate this small fix into your eagerly awaited v0.6 project culmination. imho, this is simply the best contacts app amongst all phones, smartphones, and pdas (even a lot better than xphone's)! :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lupes5:
i love the program...im having one problem tho

when minimizing the program, and reopening it, the program eats up memory....so much so that if i continuously open and minimize the program, my memory will eventually drop down to 8mb where the program stops working....

if i end task, then i get all my memory back, and the program runs fine again
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
Just installed this program for the first time (can't believe I missed it as I'm on these boards every day!), and I am loving it! I do have an HTC Universal, and the scrolling performance could be better, and the fonts seem to be in low resolution.

Also, when I click a contacts name, I cannot see their details, only notes, and to get to view their details, I have to click the notes tab, then the Edit softkey. There are no softkeys when on the details tab, which I find to be odd.

I know the program is in v0.5 right now, so I'm just pointing these bugs (which are always expected) in hopes that they will be fixed in future versions. I want to use this program forever!

Thanks for the great work!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bobyglez:
hi, a suggestion.

hi, i installed this program in my q tek 9100, it woks ok, but still needs to have a mode to minimize it, ant to introduce new contacts, the presentation is very good congratulations.

robertcgb@hotmail.com
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zeo2k:
That happened to me because I had a contact that didn't begin with a letter, but with a symbol. The program can only organize all your contacts by the alphabets.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] erichss:
I installed it, well rather it's an EXE that runs, it does not actually intall (which means it's hard to make a quick way to access besides going to "file manager" and navigating to the location.

Any plans to make this a "installed program" so it will be able to be added to various laumcher plugins that only look for installed programs?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cdcase:
milion thanks

in version 0.6 in suggest to read the contacts from sim card and more customize

of fonts and colors and create shortcut in today screen

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Beefheart:
Brilliant little app that I have been using since 0.3. I love the improvement now that allows dialing from the application itself where as previously I was using it to select the contact then dialing from the standard WM6 contact application - not ideal. I have it set up to run off my unused Explorer button on my Orbit, it works a treat. Not sure why people are bothered about minimizing when it starts so fast (unlike bloatware like Vito Fun Contacts which takes about 10 seconds). I just start it when needed then close it with my Orbit's 'OK' button when the call is finished.

Well done that man and keep up the good work. Better than any commercial contacts application in my view.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] EQUiLiiBRiUM:
I'm Curious how People Are Adding New Contacts with this App. I love this app and Its great and the new version is Bad Ass with the new features that People actually requested....

I would Like to Request a New Contact Button maybe on the Abc "Letter Page" or Right above where "A" Starts.....

To add a new contact I have to send what Ever # it is a Txt and then save them from SMS lol

How do you ADD a NEW CONTACT ?!?

Testing Results on Icontact :

This app is Great ! it was buggy b4. Sometimes the scrolling is a lil hesitant but its Pretty responsive one you get it going........NEW CONTACT would be nice lol .....I also notice I contact completely Takes over the icons for regular contact icons, not a Real big problem But something I noticed.

I"m running this on a AT&T Tilt running WM6.1

Keep up the good Work.

This install also makes the registry change to make it the default contact app, which may or may not be the desired result. Personally it wasn't as I use PocketCM for that and had to redo the registry edit.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jackbnymbl:
When I try to run it, it now says "cannot find iContact or one of it's components". How do I fix this? What is icontact dependant on?

Larna:

I know that your program is meant for touchscreen users, but I did want to try it on my BlackJack II (Landscape QVGA, WM6 Standard) as I'd like to replace WM6's default contact manager. Much to my surprise it ran and navigation with my scroll wheel and 5 way navigation was very slick. However, the program didn't run fullscreen, I only got the top half of the program shown it seems. Any ideas? I'll post a screenshot when I get home.

But at first glance it looks usable even for WM6 standard users if it displayed correctly. Nice work!

I love the applications.

There only a few problems I've encountered:

1 In HTC home the sms-inbox button doesn't start up pocketCM but the default sms screen

2 When you type a sms it doesn't automaticly use capitals when needed.

3 When I get a pop-up for a new sms and press 'answer' it launches the default sms reply screen as well.

4 And the hard call button does not work

Hopefully someone knows a solution

Sorry for my bad english anyway.

you realize both i contact version and thread are seriously outdated.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kunz:
Hey Guybrush =)

Great work on the scroller! Its coming out nicely. Any chance you could release the source of how your version of the scroller works as it is? It'd help the rest of us understand how the momentum based scrolling effect is achieved :)

Contacts v0.1 - smal fixes

In the spirit of releasing apps (btw, good jub Guybrush, it's coming along really nicely) I'm releasing something which is, i hope, better version of Contacts.

So, let's call it Contacts v0.1

I made some changes on the way scrolling behaves and i would like to hear everyones opinion about these changes. Also, app is no more a "dialog" but a window now, so it can be minimized. It also responds to the red hang-up button.

Information that is displayed is sorted by "File As". That would also be something to test and see if it solves "empty lines" problem.

Also, clicking on the list to stop the scrolling doesn't automatically select contact, it just stops the scrolling. Another tap s required to select a contact.

As for wm2003 support i'm currently working on that. It will happen, knowing that POOM is supported, but not today. Be patient ;)

Another bug that is still unresolved is landscape orientation. That comes after wm2003 support :)

And that's it. I really appreciate your comments and they really help a lot. So comment. Often ;)

Thx,

larna

Thanks Larna for the new o1 zip.

I can,t really tell the difference, I couldn't get the second tap to select to work, just one tap for me.

But I love the scroller, I really like the simplicity of it.

Is it possible to make a today screen scroller, no side bar or tabs. Would be good for me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
someone have problems with this ? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Hi uniqueboy,

second tap is required while the list is scrolling. In the first version, when the list was scrolling, the tap wouldn't just stop the scrolling, but also select the contact. Now, hopefully it just stops the scrolling. So, to select a contact, another tap is required. That is how it's intended to be, and it is how works for me. If it's different, then it is a BUG. :)

Regarding today screen finger scrolling... I'm very positive that it can be done, but that's a whole new project. I'd be very glad to offer my help to anyone to attacks that beast ;)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] uniqueboy:
Thanks Larna, I found my problem.

I have a very short contacts list at the moment, the software is working correctly.

I was just holding my phone and looking at the today screen thinking about the possibilities of finger scrolling and my mind started to real with possibilities, like scrolling up to a photo dialler up again to phone pad, down to a pile of finger sized shortcuts or even scrolling and zooming into apps like a today deepfish or picsel browser.
