Brilliant work Larna....

Hi Larna. I too have a VGA device (Ameo/Athena) and my wife has a VGA Universal. Both have your iContacts app on the soft-key as default now.

Thank you so much for a brilliant little app. It's perfect as is for us. Thanks again. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Then the next version would be too perfect for you ? ;) hehe, just kidding...

Thank YOU very much... :)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daxliniere:
Oh man, I couldn't have resisted saying that either :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] normel:

how you configure iContacts app on the soft key? i'm little bit confused.. btw, i'm using spb mobile shell.. TIA..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] normel:
Larna, thanks for this beautiful app.. keep it up..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Igor01:
The app (which I very much would like to use) doesn't seem to do anything on my Trinity, it won't run at all. After launching it all I get is a momentary blinking of the display, then everything slows down. Tried the v. 01 too with the same result. Tried the versions with softkeys, without them and just the app with just the softkeys cab, exactly the same problem each time.

Running a Trinity with MUN's WM6 ROM. I'd appreciate any suggestions, the app seems like a must-have. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Hi Igor01,

I must say that i don't have a clue why the app isn't working for you. it might be because wm6, but today i flashed my wizard with wm6, and the app works normally on it. So, .... I'm really sorry, but i don't think i can help you ini any way. Maybe some more experienced forum members might be able to help you.

Good luck,

larna

Just installed onto my Hermes and it runs great! This is really cool.

There is an effort to get the HTCTouch stuff running on the other HTC phones. The problem with the Touchflo is that there is something new with the screen (pressure sensitivity) on the new Touch that isn't on the other phones.

There is an effort to possibly just emulate this. Obviously you have done some good work on the finger scrolling stuff! You might want to contact these guys and see if you can help them in their effort. If they can't get the HTC Touchflo working natively, then perhaps you can help them out in attempting to "emulate" it!

http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/hermes-black-rom-announcements/9739-black-iv-shadow-preview-7.html

Here are my $0.02 for improvements on the app:

1) Ability to adjust the size of the text so that you can get more or less contacts on the screen at once.

2) Color configurability. It would be nice to be able to configure the background color (currently white) to another one and the font and divider color (currently black) to whatever you want. It would be really nice to be able to set it to have a black background with white or green text! Plus this way I can get it to match whatever themes I may have on my device.

Awesome work here, and you've obviously gotten the hard part of it done, and done nicely!

Hey Larna

I just thought most had only used it on qVGA devices and saw the requests for VGA, I have since installed it on my Axim X51v and it works great, just need to change the size of the Font (I have it set small - so I am hoping it is this rather than the app).

Cheers

Jace
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
Any other features you will be adding to your new release?

oh and find something that u can get donated through. I'd pitch in for sure (if you give customize options to change font size..hehe)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCApache:
Hey Larna

Here are some pics of iContact

Here's iContact on my Apache (PPC-6700)

iContact on Axim X51v

Now the text on my Ax is small, too small to actually click on with my finger only with a styles, however on my Apache it is sweet, can scroll and then click on a contact with finger etc...

If I can have the text a bit bigger for my Axim it would be great, tried to change the screen text size as I stated before, as I have set as small (changed to larger) made no difference. the screen shot of my Axim doesn't really show actually how small it is, imagine it it a size & half smaller than actually shown.

Cheers

wm2003 icontact

Hi!

This program is really amazing!

I have wm2003se device. The only, but big problem is with it is, that if i open it, it works fine. Then i tap on te x button, and it goes to the background. When i start again, then a NEW icontatct.exe starts, instead of the still running one in the background.

Can you helpome with this? Tanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] burningwheels:
Black color scheme

I really like the app. I have set up my Vario II aka Hermes with a complete black user interface. Is it possible to compile a version of your application with an inverted color scheme? I mean white letter on a black background? Thanx in advance!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
@PPCApache

Thx for posting images. Currently you can't do anything to solve your problem. But i can tell you'll be quite pleased with next version ;)

@ermike

I am aware of that problem. I hope it will get fixed with next version.

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Again, wait till the next version, it'll make you happy. :)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCApache:
Well it's still a great little app, Awesome news on the new version, any ETA on when you are likely to release it?

Cheers

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
No :) I'd rather not speak about timeframes yet :)

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Hmmm... Something mysteriously tells me that it will be released ...

... when it is written as so.

hehe.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brain21:
Here's another idea...

What about a check box for "One Touch dialing"?

Basically if there is only 1 phone number, instead of getting the contact info when clicking on the name, when you click on the name it automatically dials the number? This would mean that if you want to get to the list and text message someone you would have to run the feature off, obviously, or enter in a 2nd phone number for that contact.

One thing I liked about my old Sony phone was that if I set up a contact and there was only 1 number associated with it, when I clicked on it it would automatically dial that number. If there were multiple numbers, it would take to to a menu listing the numbers and you could select from there. Same thing also worked w/ voice dialing, but that's beyond the scope of this obviously.

Also, the ability to change the font face to another installed font would be cool as well.

As is, it works wonderfully. My first choice in options would be the color options that I emntioned a couple of pages back though.

Brain21
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Again, my old idea is an option:

,,,or even a tab could appear when you click a name, where you can press a new button to make the call, if the contact has another number (I dont think thats very usuall) a second tab could exist or a second button.

Another alternative (if you dont want to appear too "windowish") is to use the same tecnique as the "slide to unlock" tool also here in this forum to start the call... So it would be a vertical scroll to search the contact list and a horizontal scroll to make a call.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jdl1306:
Ummm... I think you'll find that most people make good use of home/mobile/work numbers and DO have multiple numbers per contact stored!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
I agree. :D

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
When selecting the contactee, the phone number selection screen comes up. It pops up pretty fast. So why are u guys requesting an alternative way to pull up these numbers?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] PPCApache:
(w) Totally agree bowlopho, it opens very fast on my Apache (PPC-6700). so pls don't add any guff to it...

Cheers

Jace

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] robertn:
the only thing i miss is 4 buttons at the bottom of the screen with shortcuts to speed dial, call history, keypad and voicemail. maybe a 5th button to add a new contact. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] JaZ86:
GREAT JOB!! Much better then the stock one, specially with use of finger instead of stylus :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] brain21:
Re: the multiple contacts thing...

Hey man, it's only a suggestion, "don't be sh*tting on my art"! :)

Category Filter

Great app works flwalessly on my hermes, just one sugestion if possible could you ad a catergory filter at the top, touch an icon then select a category from the drop down list. currently as it is it works great but it takes too long to scroll through 500 contacts

Manay thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] daxliniere:
Congrats on all the publicity, Larna!

Goes to show how wonderful the world thinks your app is! :)

im having almost the same problem with this one, as i am with sscontact...i dont understand it, i used the cab installer, it told me that this was made for an earlier version of wm, yet im running wm5?!

when i click icontact, it opens, but is blank..I wish i could try this!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
Do you have contacts on your device or on SIM card?

Because, app only reads contacts from device.

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Igor01:
Have you tried copying all your contacts from SIM to the device itself? The program will not see the SIM contacts, it will check only the entries in the Contacts on the device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] the1stkujo:

when I try to delete a contact from iContacts it actually deletes the contact but make iContact freeze. Running WM5 on a xv6700. Any suggestions.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NeoPheus:
No, not really...

But it would be possible if larna releases the component :)

I built a iPhone MP3-Player that works perfectly! And the only part that I need now is the scrolling feature!

So larna, are you going to release it?? Please :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] larna:
I don't think I'll release component. When list becomes more featured and stable i might think about it again. :)

larna
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] NeoPheus:
Hm Ok...

couldnt you post the source of a simple scolling procedure (without POOM)...

This is gonna be difficult because of the whole drawing and so on....

Thanks ~Neo

for some reason icontact no longer works for me. it was working fine last night and even mapped it in my iphone gui. i installed the icontact + soft key update and some other iphoneish appls but when i woke up and tried everything again, it stopped working. is there something stuck in the registry that is preventing it from working even though ive reinstalled and soft reset tons of times?

when i run icontact, the top bar shows icontact so i guess its running the program, but nothing shows up on the screen! its driving me mad!!

thanks!

EDIT: ok, something is definately wrong because ive tried GuyBrush's SS Contacts for WM 5 and 6 and all i get is a white screen. ARGH!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zaidam:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] soaptray:
Very neat little app, I like it.

My only request would be to sort the contacts by the company name...

Perhaps you could scroll company names in this fasion, and a tap on the company name expands to the people in that company, and finally the tap on the person would go to their contact. Good work over all.

how do I remove icontacts from the soft key. I have the 8525 and it don't have a softkey option. Is there any way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bowlopho:
why don't u read the past few pages?

search the forum for the program softkey applet
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ShadowVlican:
pros:

-works much smoother than "SSContact 1.1.0!! - (updated 12/06/07)"

-contact list is properly sorted according to "File As" settings

cons:

-no ABC index (even though SSContact's implementation is ineffective)

it's be great if you could implement some sort of ABC index for those with many contacts (scrolling through 100, let alone 500, contacts is a pain)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] k2e15:
I second the ABC index I think that would look great also maybe a different backround besides white... a light Gray or black on white or something to spice it up a little bit..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ShadowVlican:
or heck make it WM5/6 theme colour aware (so it changes colour automatically in accordance with the theme's colour, just like the original Contacts does)
