Hi thank you for this little wonder, I for sure will use it instead of the "build in contact manager".

I have made a danish translation (it's in your own forum), and in this I included the danish letters æ ø and å, so they show up nicely in the index on the left side of the screen - so for mee it is OK now.

Maybe it is me that dont know how to use this program properly, but if I want to add a new contact, I have to choose an excisting contact, then tap on the blue part next to the picture, then a list with these items appear: new, show, edit, picture, add to fav, ect. Here I choose new and can make a new contact.

For me it would be more logical if it was possible to add a new contact from the main menu, maybe by clicking on the letter, or pressing for 5 sec on the screen at the same point would start the "add new contact".

Thanks so much Belfazar!

One thing though, 'contact_secondline_formatting' was allready commented out. However, 'contact_font_secondline=12' was not, so i'll try the settings now.

EDIT: I sitll get the numbers shwoing underneat my contacts. The scrolling is definately not as smooth as it used to be.

Hey tene, I can't seem to get "separator_image" to work. No matter what combination of commenting and stuff I use, the image never displays. Am I missing something?

separator_item_height=23

separator_text_color=255,255,255

separator_image=separator_image.png

contact_separator_line_color=234,176,0

From what I have messed around with, it seems like you can only change the colour at the minute.

While ContactManager 0.11 loads fully in 25 s, this PocketCM 0.5 loads in 51 s. Clearly, this is not how it should be. FYI, this is my configuration:

- BatteryStatus 1.04.203 beta4, max CPU speed set to 273 MHz
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
how many contacts? how many contact with picture?

waht do you call fully load? all contact with all picture?

for me it's more from 25 seconds, to 2/3 to get contact list, 4/6 to get contact with picture.

What problem?

The point that tene is trying to make is that you ask for help without describing your problem... How can he help you if you don't provide enough information?

(and I guess being rude won't be of any help)

BUG

When you select a contact with whom you dont have any SMS conversations with, it shows the message 'no sms conversations' or something to that effect.

would just like to point out that the text is off the screen!

also, is there any plans to introduce into the program some sort of always there 'minimize' button, or a hardware button mapped to minimise it like say the right soft key?

thanx

fantastic software by the way!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] E_Shinobi:
I went back to 0.12 again, the changes in 0.13 are very well worked in, but seem too much for me... I liked the unread/read switching by just tapping the message.

Still I think this is adorable work and more than microsoft has come up with, so thank you for your efforts.

*Features request*

Hi there, just chiming in, great program, enjoy it very much.

A few changes I'd like to see, maybe others could chime in if they agree or disagree.

Revert back to the version .12 where read/unread is done by tapping.

I've been having issues with they keyboard coming up once, then going away after I type. Is there a way to map the SIP so we cna presss it more conveniently, perhaps the Phone button can do both (such as t9)?

That's it really, a great progrma over all. Thank you very much for all the hard work you've put into this.

email only contacts dont show

The title says it all. I have quite a few contacts whoa are email only, and the software doesn't see them. Other than that great program. It works really well, so well in fact that I did not read the entire thread to see if this issue has been mentioned in the past. Is there a work around, or is this aknown problem?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Bellfazar:
There's a setting in Settings.ini called hide_contact_without_phone. Check to see if the theme you're using has that set to 1.

You've really got an attitude problem. Consider posting less unless you decide to be helpful instead of demanding.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] anheuer:
I agree,

Just a tap was nicer to change the sms read/unread status.

in this version when i change the status i need to go back one screen and go in the sms screen again to actually see the text is changed to read status.

i also likes it better when the minimize button was on the lower right button.

don't really see the value of the function the button has now.

And when i minimize it my tapping the right upper corner, i also select what ever was under it (a contact or add new contact ect.)

Maybe a nice idea to make a file or settings menu to assign these things our selfs??

Keep up the good work..

Issue with HTC Home 2.0

Hi all, and thanks to Tene for this great app.

Searched the thread but don't found related info about this issue i have.

I've tested the last version PocketCM 0.13 in my Hermes with WM6 ROM. I'm using WM6 from this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=329642. The app works great, but have found a little issue while i load PocketCM into memory and try to use the HTC Home Launcher. If i load PocketCM in memory executing it, and keep in memory, the HTC Home launcher don't work. Also, other parts of HTC Home gives me error, like the wheater or favourits ppl.

If i unload PocketCM, HTC Home launcher works fine...

Strange issue. Someone see this one?

Thanks in advance for the help...

Regards.

i m using xda2s running Helmi WM6

To me, i prefer without the sms support, i installed as much software as i could and memory almost full, when running Pocket CM, its kind of lag. I sincerely requested may b i can hv a option to use Pocket CM without a sms support. Eventually Pocket CM is a vry cool app, thanks for the hardwork.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
I believe you can have what you want in one of two ways:

1. Use an older version of the app from the pocketcm website

2. Delete the file smsintercept.dll - haven't tried this, so I don't know what will happen. I assume the app will just stop picking up incoming SMS
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] !Kernel Panic!:
great app!!!! I love finger scrolling....because I'm on my 5th stylus...atleast I can't lose all my fingers.

am I doing something wrong?...when I try to create a new contact thru pocketCM I keep receiving the error message when trying to save new contact "An unexpected error has occurred in this program"...has this happened to anyone else? I also have icontact installed if that matters.

Hi tene.

I have a little request / idea:

is it possible to have the following behaviour:

press the "contacts" button -> run PocketCM

press and hold the "contacts" button -> run voice speed dial

thanks,

Giuseppe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Not that I know of, and it's a WM related matter, not PocketCM. I don't have any control over what's happening before PCM starts.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] randomelements:
You need to create it.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fasgiu:
yes I could but I don't want to install another program (which needs .NET too) to map just 1 button. And I think that soft buttons can't be managed by Hbutton.

to Tene. I thought that you could manage the button pressing just after pocketCM starting but it seems not to be possible. thank you any way.

Feature Request

Tene,

Great app!!! I thought I read somewhere that this was still considered an alpha. Heck, if half the actual apps I have seen had half the engineering and support as your alpha I would be floored.

Anyway, a couple of requests if you don't mind.

--The simple sms mark read/unread as in v.12. Then press and hold for additional delete etc options.

--A direct .lnk (or whatever) to the "unread" sms threader(As is inside your program where the notification comes up showing unread). That would allow from a launcher to go straight to the unread.

--A direct .lnk (or whatever) to the sms threader in general.(not just unread)

--Simplier close vs minimize. Lots of confusion here in this post.

--Maybe someone could develop a configuator for the customizable parts of the software. Lots of steps here for the layman with editing .ini's..(BTW, I have no clue how to, just figured someone might be good at it)

--Allow an intial set up of the SIP that sticks. Then if the user wants to go back and change it later they can.

Please don't smack me too hard here. Just humble observations.

Thanks for the awesome app.

CG
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DJ_Nitro:
You don't need to install the fat compact framework, I didn't.

Compact framework is needed to open the configurator, but you can do that directly in the registry, check the second post on the Hbutton thread and you'll find everything you need to do it.:D

Cache problem

Hi,

I have some weird cache problem.

When the cache file exist and I load the application, it takes several seconds to load, in which all names appear as "???? ??". After it loads, all name are displayed correctly.

If I delete the cache file, all names load instantly.

Any idea why?

Thanks.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fette_ente:
You made my day :) Really enjoy this great tool :) It looks awesome when it slides to a contact after selecting it! Is there a way to use this old navigation tool with the popping up letter box from ContactManager 0.11?

That would be reaaly great. Maybe put it in the upper right corner? In my oppinion the bar on the left is not that handy!?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I don't see what you mean?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fette_ente:
ah sry mixed the programs, thought it was also one of yours. I ment http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=303045 the thing with the popping up letter box. I really enyoed that feature but it do love the sliding contact page too. Would be great to have both :) maybe you like the idea...could be an optional feature?

btw woow very fast answere :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I personally don't like it, so it's unlikely to happen soon. I prefer the phonepad approach for searching, and the index, for getting fast to a specific position while looking at contacts.

By the way 0.14 is up... as always, if the first people downloading it, can give some feedback about it working or not (however, as always, please wait a little before shooting at feature, test, use, experiment first!).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freakflow:
Just downloaded the new 0.14 version...when I run it it works but it's just a blank white "theme" - when I scroll my contacts on teh edge the letters don't appear.

Anyone else getting this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:
Same problem here. And I can't find the option menu to choose the theme because when I hold the phone button I got 4 blank buttons.

Marshall
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Strange, please provide more info: did you use the zip or cab version?

What's in your pocketcm folder?

What happen if you click the phonepad button, and choose option (the second icon from the left) then try to choose a theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
seems the touch.cmt wasnt in the cab version. Going into the pocketcm folder reveals as much, but downloading the zip package and just copying/pasting that file is enough to make it work.

quite an improvement over .13, finally i can move from .11!

non-fullscreen is pretty broken, but i suspect you know as much and it was just to appease the whiners. Thanks for the hard work, my favorite app, with pocketCM keyboard. easily the 2 most used things on my phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
The cab is fixed.

Fullscreen doesn't appear that broken to me. I mean, it's not as usable as the fullscreen version, but broken? what's broken?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lazyboy0172:
i guess broken was a harsh way to put it.

when clicking on a contact the contact options page, the name is almost cut off by the top bar, then in sms mode non-fullscreen, the send button and bottom bar is half black/half gray, and when tapping to start typing the send button becomes extremely cut off and only a sliver (though still works) and the text box is only big enough to fit 1 line of text on it (still 160 characters of coarse, just harder to read through your message before sending it)

so broken was probably the wrong way to put it, because everything works, it may just not as cosmetically nice/functional?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
bug with SMS and keyboard will be fixed in next release.

Other than that, it's something that can be fixed through theme.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Marshall07:

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
Possible Bug or Nice New Functionality?

Hey Tene,

Always nice to have a new version of a favourite toy to play with, especially with the weekend here!

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or a feature - I didn't spot it in the change list, but as my wife will confirm, I'm not the most observant!

If I press and hold the phone icon for a short while and then release it, the second level of icons appears briefly and the app automatically minimises. If I press, hold and then slide over to one of the second set of icons, I can select that option and all is well.

Is this by design? If so, it's a nice feature. I'm slightly dubious because the top right corner minimise still works, but this could merely be evolution.

Great job as always though.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It's a feature.

A change from last version, no minimize is the default, the option to the left is close. There is a setting that I will document soon that allow you to choose between default to close and default to hide.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
I'm still having troubles witht the settings file. How do I...

1) change the size of the font of the name/first row on the scrolling list? One of these used to work but no longer does.

contact_font_header=20,bold

contact_font=20,bold

2) how do I make the background not use image? I just want it to be black, will this override the theme file background images?

background_color=0,0,0

#portrait_background_image_list=bg.bmp

#landscape_background_image_list=lbg.bmp

Hi tene, I have a bug on my position indicator, it won't pass R. Thanks for your work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] freakflow:
Thanks for the quick fix on the .cab install. It's working now =)

The following is a list of issues I've come across:

1. I'm using Happy Tappy Keyboard and when I try to SMS the keyboard pops up but when I type no text appears in the message field

2. When I hold on the Phone button, and try to exit/minimize etc etc, the application just closes the application.

That's it for now. Other than that, awesome app!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonpaq:
PocketCM is looking good and improving beyond CM. Is there any way this can be made compatable with non-phone wm6 devices? (Yes, I'm begging!!). The missing components in the error message are probably any libraries you are using for phone features. Any way to have it ignore the missing files so it can at least start on non-phones?

Tene,

Is it in the works to be able to use the dial pad in PocketCM to enter a phone number and then call straight from the program? Almost like a dialpad skin but just using what you have already done with a send/end button?

company directory contacts

I love this program but have one issue. Working in a company with 24000 colleagues I use the possibility to search contacts in the company‘s exchange directory a lot.

The wm6 buildin contacts automatically shows this search option when I type a part of a name that is not in my own contaclist.

I can‘t find this option in pocketcm. Is it not there or can‘t I find it?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Gustopher:
You might want to look at post #1019 to see if it's the same feature I asked about. Pressing and holding the phone icon, then releasing has a default behaviour to minimise the app. Press, hold and then slide across to one of the other icons allows you to select that option.

Neat feature, but apologies if this isn't the issue you are raising.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] dutchman71:
Looks like the new version is ignoring my settings.ini. Can anyone confirm the same behavior?

Just wanted to thanks to Tene for his hard work !!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] RaptorRVL:
Works very nice this version! Keeps getting better and better.

I do have 2 issues though which are already kinda mentioned before:

1- When I press the phone button (bottom right) and the menu appears, and then I release the app minimizes.

Is this intended behaviour? If so, this is kinda nasty for me because when I move up to the settings icon (as example) it sometimes opens my Touch's 3D Cube. So it's very hard to keep the screen pressed and moving up without getting that cube thingy. When moving quite fast it also seems to trigger another gesture from side to side.

2- When using happy tapping keyboard no text appears in the text box when writing an sms.

Other than that, great app. Wouldn't trade it in for anything else!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] DvTonder:
Tene,

An amazing application. I have now switched over to using it full time for contacts and sms management. THANK YOU!

I did also notice the 'problem' with holding the phone button down - after a short time I see the menu options show up but when I lift my finger the app immediately minimizes. I like this - now I can use the screen to minimize and after getting used to the sliding action to get to the options etc. I am finding it a great design choice.

Really like the way the SIP now shows when you start a SMS, was like that in .12 and I really missed it in .13, also like having the 'hold to mark read' option back.

A small 'donation' is coming your way as a thank you!

Keep up the development.

Is there any way to get rid of the bottom butons?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] iggy:
Nicely done Tene, only minor issues I noticed is the Index shows the letter that is the top contact in the list not the contact you are currently on (i.e. if I have a short list and my contact name it Zoe, the index shows I am on T because it is looking at the contact on top of the list not the contact I am actually on.

And just two other small items, keyboard comes up excellent but does not retract and when in SMS and Notes would be great to have an easier way to get back to the contact other than reaching for the top left arrow (something at the bottom would be good (or at least the D-Pad).

Otherwise I am in agreement, now being used full time.

Need less to metion features available in this .14 version which I really missed in 0.13 and sticked to .12 for all these days.I couldn't resist my myself appreceating the feature with couple of up&down bumps at the end of scrolling. Dude you are THE man of graphics.Nice job

I like minimize feature. Nice balance between space , feature and usabilty.
