UnInstalling PrimeContact

Hi,

I was using PrimeContact happily for last one month. But now it is giving problem while browing through the contact list. It starts scrolling on its own and then hangs the mobile. I uninstalled the software and now if i click on Contacts button, it says "PrimeContact.exe not found". Can anybody help me uninstall this completely and access my contacts as it was before installing PrimeContact. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugglesquop:
to fix the soft button problem, you can use Schap's Advanced configuration tools. Availible here:

If you click on 'menu' then Key Settings, you can set what runs from the soft keys, and what they are called :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delaner:
was trying to figure out how to uninstall... I guess I was typing in the wrong search keywords because it's all nicely detailed here...

Just to put it in again for anybody else that has troubles like I did, install the latest cab for your device and softreset. Go to settings>remove programs> remove it, softreset. Then install the RemoveSoftKey.cab and that will get rid of the "SSContacts". =)

I need to give props to the guy that made this thing, although it didn't work for me, it has a lot of potential and he's awesome at responding. My bad for searching poorly before. (Shows you I'm a TOTAL NOOB.) ;)

Thanks man, and good luck! =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] delaner:
Scratch that... see my thread above about uninstalling SSContact 1.1.3 if you need to like I did for my WM6 Tilt. =)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
I agree with LordDeath. If you can't get the scrolling to act like iContact's scrolling, than i suggest you forget about the scrolling for now and try to implement this app with other things....like maybe a list of mp3's or movies in a folder :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
posted new version :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
I like how my app is working so I'll not touch scrolling procedure more, if you like it well, otherwise you can try to configure the scroll and graphics as you prefer and if you still don't like you are free to not use it ;) I'll not do a mp3 or movie list in this app, I have my todo list to respect and I'm spending my hours of my time developing this app as I like, but suggestions are always welcome.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mcgogo:
Hello Guybrush

your Application is very good i use Larnas contact program but he stop adding new furnctions. The scrolling of your program is now good as in larnas. But when i tap the screen to scroll and then tap again the contact is selected. In larna version the sceen stop and then if the screen is tapped again is the contact selected is possible implement thist function.

1. tap the screen to scroll

2. second tap stop the screen

3. last tap select the contact.

sorry for my english and thank you for a reply
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sx1-doc:
me again

hi Guybrush

as mcgogo said it will be nice to have this settings ( to shoose the first tap ,scrooling,select,or dial).

thanks .
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
It already works like this but it only paint each time u are over an item but to activate it you should double tap or keep finger pressed for a while.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sx1-doc:
if its possible from the settings to :

set the first tap to scroll .

set second tap to select contact.

that will be cool.

thanks for the good prog.

PPC-DOC
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
new version, the main change is that all settings are stored into registry at this key

HKLM/SOFTWARE/ScrollingStone

you have to delete it manually when you decide to delete the program, sorry :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
My 5 cents:

- This software will be great when finished.

- Sms button doenst make much sence, what people usually do is write the message first and then add one or severall receivers.

- A big button in the right of the contact name to make direct call that works should be great (waiting patiently).

- I can make some icons for the software if you'd like (see http://twolf.sytes.net to see some of my work), I'd really like to help...

As soon as you can make the actual call by clicking the button or the contact this software will ROCK!

Thank you ^_^
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
hi twolf, first of all thanks, I'm glad you like my work.. I wish too that it'll be nice when finished... I'm working a bit everyday on it and it's growing day by day... in few days I've done very much progress so soon I hope to release the first alfa version that can be more usable... When? I don't know yet.. I've to be satisfied and see this piece of code is enogh stable.. nobody is reporting me bugs or problems for now and that's good but there's still much work to do, I'm not a an expert developer so I need time to learn and apply and it take me off many hours (I think MSDN is my biggest friend now) and I've also other things to do... btw I wish to release a usable version soon. Regarding SMS button right now I was reading how access message application but I'm not sure of it maybe it's not really usefull and it use 32 pixel in lenght of precious screen (I still have to solve trouble with very long names because i think is bad trunch them) so i could take off SMS icon and find for it another solution maybe using some keys to change quick application to be launched... but for now it's only a idea ;) about the big button for direct call it is in project and I'll do it. Regarding graphics at the moment I don't have much time to think about it, I would also make nice round bitmap keys for the keyboard and add settings to customize colors but I'll not do it soon. If you want give your contribute and drawing some icons, you are welcome, I'm open in suggestions, let me see and if I like I'll use.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aleksander100:
i have some queries as now i have wm 2003 se and soon might get 2m5.0 so now as i ve seen why dont u make it in such a way that once the contact is selected it i ll be blue and not black and the abc index on right but not left or make it self adjustable that will be gr8 i am also makin a beautiful theme of iphone i can get u the link.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] sx1-doc:
its hard

still trying to convince my self to use it.

but when ever i run icontact and scroll with it i change my mind.

i hope that you will make some settings so we can change the way of scrooling like the icontact.

10x
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
@aleksander100 i 'cause prefer black than blue as i prefer index on the left

@sx1-doc, try to disable graphics and see difference with iContact without graphics and try to change settings by yourself to have a scrolling as you like. You are still free to don't use it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
So this was my ideia for the icons:

If the bitmaps and colors would be files aside the executable, maybe you can even create icon themes for it.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
too heavy graphics :) think during a scroll it have to be redraw 50 times in a second... and pocket pc is only a little ARM 400 Mhz :) anyway thanks :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
oh well... maybe you can just use the icon then, since it only appears as you select a contact, it should be ok...

I can send you in vectorial format, or you can tell me the pixel dimensions and prefered extension type.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
ok, try to take some icons for phoen as a bitmap uhmmm 48x48 with background FF00FF I don't need it aliased because i want the background uniform to set a transparency so it have to be perfect border around then I'll try it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
my alfa version is ready... now i can display contacts and takes direct call... i need another bit of test before post it :P
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nmeister:
I am having a problem with contacts that have company names. It displays the company name instead of the contact name itself. I also have a few contacts that do not even show up on the list. Is there any way to have the contact list wrap? If I am at the top of the list and want to get to 'v' I have to scroll to the bottom, if I am at the bottom and want to get to 'a' I need to scroll all the way up. I think wrapping would be a nice feature to look at in the future.

Great work so far by the way.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
First Alfa Released :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
New bugs in WM2003:

Settings aren't saved.

Scrolling is much heavier (when you try to drag the list it focuses automatically in the name from the list you pressed to drag)

The buttons on the right still don't work

You have to click twice on the name for it to start the call, and even that is not easy to make it work, it takes several clicks to start a call, sometimes it jumps to the properties of the contact.

Please don't get me wrong, you are doing a great job, these are just bugs I report from WM2003.

Keep up the good work.

If you'd like I can make an icon for the contact (on the left of the name) or you can use the smile I already made, so it would have the smile on the left and the pocket pc icon on the right to make the call (only visible when selected, to ease the scroll).

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
Sorry but I can't test on WM 2003 :) the focus on first tap is normal, double click have some trouble, try to press the screen for a while instead :) settings look strange =) have a look in registry at the key HKLM/SOFTWARE/ScrollingStone/ the icons on the right works but only phone call...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
ok...

Regarding the HKLM/SOFTWARE/ScrollingStone/ settings, i've changed the settings manually with a reg editor and even then, when I openned the program again it all reverts back to the default...wierd.

:/
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
if u set them manually with wrong values it automatically change them with original default values :) it's really strange this issue... u have this trouble with all settings or just some of them ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
I just changed the ones marked with the number 1 to the number 0, shount this have worked?

They all change back to 1.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
The tapping of the contacts is not working well. It takes about 5-7 taps before going to the contact info.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aleksander100:
hey why dont u make it in a such a way that once u select a contact it turns blue.and alphabet stuff on right side not left it wud be really gr8 of u if u make it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
it's not an iphone scroller, I'll not do it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
Someone can check registry settings in Windows Mobile 2003 if they stored or not ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aleksander100:
I agree with u same error on my wm2003se device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
new update.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] YoLoLo:
And this one is really good smelling, because you can dial with it !

Congrats !!!

Some remarks :

I still have the font problem when i use looooooonnnnnnnggggg names ;)

I would like to have another sort method enabled : "File as..."

(maybe it's normal), but the send SMS function is returning a "not implemented" message :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
yeah sms doesn't works... this is still an alfa version with troubles :) for long names I still don't have a solution because i don't want to trunc them and don't like to display in two lines... so maybe I should take off one icon...

about File As... I'll see in future.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
WM2003 version doesn't work. Can't find component or missing library. Previous version worked but buggy. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
hi gabbyg... really strange... try this (attachment in first page)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Same problem. :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Still doesnt save settings. but the double click on the call icon works, at least most of the time, I think it has something to do with the place where the phone number is...strange.

Is the contact list a file I can access? I'd like to try to make some sort of application in flash...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
gabbyg, I can only say you that in emulator works... maybe is your fault... someone can confirm my app doesn't work on Windows Mobile 2003 ?

twolf, double tap should be very near the screen to work well... press slow release and press again, i didn't check yet registry issue on 2003 as you can read in history post :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
registry in 2003 is fixed now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Just tried the latest one and still doesn't work. I went back to the 20070522 release and that one works. The newer files are smaller than the first one and so maybe a library dll or something is missing which mobile 2003 doesn't have.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
it works on my qtek s100 wm2003se...

the settings are saved now.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
well i know :) gabbyg, I can try only in emulator if works there should works in your phone too. I didn't cut libraries and other... so I really think there is something wrong in your phone... I'm sorry but i have too few information about your issue and can't help you more.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Hey, how did you get a PPC emulator. If can, can you upload it or is it not freeware??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
you need eMbedded Visual C++ and pocketpc 2003 SDK u can download them from microsoft website.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aleksander100:
awesome new version for wm2003se works gr8 saves settings really great and i wished if u wub make the abc index on right side and a bit darker blue and once contact select it shud be blue and not black.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
@aleksander100 I'll not put abc index on right side and i'll not change color to blue, if you like that wait iphone come out. I'm not doing an iphone clone
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
My PDA is not 2003se. Just plain 2003 so maybe try emulating on 2003 or even 2002.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
you said lastest version works for you was 2205 right ? In this case maybe 2003 don't like phone's API for direct call... in this case i'm sorry but you can't use my program.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
first beta released... this will be my last version for a while to give you time to use, test, found issues, think suggestions and everything else. If you want pay me an icecream (summer is coming and I've made my room really hot working front computer :P) look my signature or history post, meanwhile I'll continue to think new features solve currently issue and improve the application to make it better, in future release. Thanks for all support you can give me.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shreedharcva:
One Big problem is, If there are no contacts in PIM, and only Sim contacts are there, then the app shows only title bar and taskbar, no middle content.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
I Know that, it's not a issue, SIM contacts aren't supported by this application and if Pocket outlook haven't contacts to show, there's nothing to paint. and i don't use to paint background window 'cause it should be unusefull in normal use of app:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
did a quick hack to make it work on 2003 pocketpc. I used Executability Check program and discovered that SSContact needed some files like aygshell.dll and most specially phone.dll. I installed a fake aygshell.dll and renamed it to phone.dll. Then I clicked on SSContact and it worked.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
try to ask phone.dll to someone that have a 2003SE... maybe now program start but i think u can't make a direct call... but I'm glad you solved your problem.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aleksander100:
yep i cud make a direct call from wm2003se once i press on the icon
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
not you but gabbyg, he's not using a 2003 SE but a 2003
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
I can't make a call. I don't have a pda phone. just a plain vanilla pda so the call is not important for me. just the look of emulating the iPhone is cool. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
well so i hope you enjoy it :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Everything works now, I had to configure the scroll settings a bit to be smoother in my pocket and removed all the icons execpt the call icon (nice one, btw), also I had to change half my contact list to have the call number in the mobile area and the name in the first/last area, otherwise it would be listed incorrecly and wouldnt even make the call on double click.

I'm now using it instead of the default contact software, thank you.

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
good I'm glad you like, tell me your settings for scrolling, I'm curious to know them... as you can see only just taking off the small icon there's a big improvment in scrolling... also display the mobile phone number take off resource in fact more thing it have to paint and more scroll procedure is heavy because during the scroll it have to paint the screen 50 times in a second. That's why is needed a quick pda with a fast processor and good chip video.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
Your app workings pretty smoothly on my Wizard, almost similiar to larna's, after changing some of the scrolling options. Can you put an option to stop displaying the phone number of the contacts??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Here you go:

So, can this be checked on or off in the settings of future releases?

;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freeyayo50:
These are the settings for my device....with about 110 contacts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] xpking:
some problems here...

1. if a contact contains home number only, it will not display

2. some of my contacts display office number but the contact contains office and mobile number

3. if a contact contains company, the name shows the company's name instead of the person's name..

also, i find it hard to display the details from sscontact

i clicked the contacts twice, sometime it will show details sometimes not...why?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
@xpking

some problems here...

1. if a contact contains home number only, it will not display

-- yeah it only show mobile number and only call mobile number :)

2. some of my contacts display office number but the contact contains office and mobile number

-- for company contacts it display only one number

business number for company

mobile number for contact

3. if a contact contains company, the name shows the company's name instead of the person's name..

-- yes because I prefer to show the company instead name :)

also, i find it hard to display the details from sscontact

i clicked the contacts twice, sometime it will show details sometimes not...why?

-- double tap have to be very short press - release - press without pull out finger :) but i already changed it, for next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tizzi:
2 problems

1/ When I start the application, i can only scroll down the list, cannot scroll up at the beginning? Strange

2/ When i press call and sms button.... It took very long to start the others application....

Can you fix that!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
List isn't circular so u can't scroll up at beginning but only down, it's impossible with standard microsoft components do a circular list, It's could be possible doing instead a listview a circular code of items but that's need a very long job and I don't want do it.

I don't have a sms button, I'll check if it possible... but i don't think there's much to improve there..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Can you add an option to disable the selection bar when scrolling? that might speed it up a bit. Say give it a split second delay for it to be selected so that if you scroll, it will not highlight until you stop and select it a bit longer. Hope you understand what I mean. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
Selection Bar ?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gtech:
Hi Guys,

Well very interested in this proggy, but I must be having a "blond" moment as I cannot get it to do anything.

Using Axim X51V WM5, downloaded the archive, extract the file "Scrollingstone.exe" and no matter where I put it or run it from it does nothing....when running it from PDA I get a quick system bleep but nothing.

I am obviously missing something here :-) a little guidance please!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
the black bar that appears as soon as I touch the screen. larna's icontact doesn't show the selection bar until stopped and selected. I think if you allow the program to scroll first, maybe the initial response may be faster. Everything else works great. it's just the initial response that bothers me a bit. thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
the next version will be much better than this one, I've added some new features, solved bugs and many other improvements ;) I'm not ready to release it yet, because I want relase it as first version and there is still some works to do btw beta is fully working, I don't know when I can finish the first release because I need time but I have to study for my exams and work to cash some money. I don't think to take off the black selection during the scroll but i'll think on it... If I do u'll see in next version :) About Initial Response that should be solved in next version... List at start doesn't have a focus... and that isn't good :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Guybrush:
@gabbyg, I have added your request :) now I don't show selection during the scroll and it's ok.... I'm proud of this new version :) It's very very smooth like Larna's app ;) I've solved many problems... added also File As sorting... two different themes (for now) new icons... new options and I love it... I think soon i could release 1.0 version not beta :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] twolf:
Cant wait for it, then... :)

Again, if you need any icons or themes, I'll be glad to help.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gabbyg:
Well thank you. Congratulations then.
