# align the label on top, depending of the size

# where does the text appear

# and the background of the label

label.selectionpreview.background=fillimage(header.png)

label.selectionpreview.background.box=0p,33p,100%,-33p

but i am getting a verrrry weird looking screen (the bacground is offset about 10 pixels from the left of the screen, revealing white space, and also about 6 pixles from the bottom of the header, also revelaing white space)

and.. the selected images dont show up

any ideas?

also.. ther is no space between the "contactpressed" letters.. that is just happenin when i paste it here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
could you send me a theme that reproduce, to make sure we're talking about the same thing? (qpouplard at gmail.com) thanks!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
just wanted to let you know that the most recent daily build (1/20/09) is working wonderfully

font rendering is beautiful... scrolling is now smoother than I ever could have imagined :D

selectlist highlight images working

all just super smooth!

thanks for all your amazing work
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
I would really like the feature to forward an SMS to other contacts and also the possibility to add several receipients to one message.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
it's being developed.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
That is really great news!! :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
Isn't it already implemented? At least in the daily build from a few days ago it is working just fine. Much appreciated as well thank you.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
found something you might like to know (not sure if youd be able to see this without a device)

when you minimize pcmc by pressing top right corner or with the symbolpanel minimize fnctn, it is no longer visible in task changers such as task facade or htc task manager.. this is not the case if you minimize by pressing the end key or by using task facade to switch apps

other than that no problems with most recent build! (it is coming to front again :D)

also.. with the latest 1/24/09 build.. the unread image seems to have been cut off somehow.. the number is out of place and the image is about half of what it should be
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
0.29 is up! enjoy!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Tene....I'm all over it!!! Your dailies have been GREAT!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
you are the man tene!

great work as always :D

by the way.. are daily builds still more updated than the v29?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
tomorow they will be ;)

there's no secret: 0.29 was the state of the code at 00:15, next daily will be a few hours later, maybe with changes (probably not, it's late), etc... I don't maintain branches.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Hey Tene,

just installed the version29. Speed is great, but the text look very ugly! my device is a qvga htc polaris!

greetings
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
can I get a screenshot?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
It looks like if there is a "shadow" on the letters! (i have the same experience when i want to use cleartype in landscape)

To see the blurry text you may have to copy the pictures to your desktop pc and look with the windows picture manager at it!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
I had another bug with version 28....i don't know if you solved it in v29. When i did a phone call the upper bar got replaced by pocketcm !! i attached another screenshot!

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] TNK2005:
new theme developing

hello! i'v draw a new theme but can't write config...

If u'r interested, please come here
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
"very ugly"?, to be honnest I can't tell the difference. And I have the feeling you switched the 0.28 and 0.29 name in your zip.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w04g005:
Sorry, you were right, i switched the names.....

okok if it looks VERY ugly or NOT VERY ugly.....but you can see a difference? My opinion is that the fonts in v29 look uglier than in v28. What disadvantages would it have to go back to the old fonts?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
As I told you, I can't really see a difference. (and the perf impact is between 150 and 300%).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
would it be possible to have pocketcm stay in the taskmanager even when minimized by button or by pressing the top right corner?

right now with most recent versions (daily and official), if it is minimized it is no longer visible in the task manager (htc task manager on today screen) or in taskfacade

would love to see this brought back!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
I agree, would also love to see this brought back!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
also, on another note, pocketcm contacts seems to be crashing a LOT lately for me.. is it because i have 4000 texts now?

because i happens when i receive an sms (at some point after I have been receiving texts for a while) or sending one (it crashes before it sends)

any ideas?

using 1.29.09 build
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
htctoucher...I never really made a corellation between PocketCM + high SMS count = PocketCM crashing on my device, but I have gotten into the habit of cleaning out my SMS files occasionally, it helps speed PocketCM up a bit and keeps things snappy...that may help your issue as well.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
its too bad because i love having all my previous texts :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I always do a PIM backup and store it on my PC, that way I can always access my older texts as well!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
thats a good idea.. but did that solve the crashing problems?

because its only really been happening with these new 29+versions
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I haven't had the crashing issues your having, but from other issues + past experience, it is just a little cleaning tip I think helps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
k because it only happens when i am sending an sms.. all of a sudden the app will close and itll be closed

although it just happened when i recieved a text too..pcmc wasnt even active it was in the background and then i got a text but pcmc didnt come to front so i looked and it appeared it had crashed!.. .. id say after about 5 back and forth it crashes..

hmm...

i am going to set up sashimi and hard reset this weekend.. see if that helps
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Let me know how that sashimi goes. I have been looking at it, but quite frankly, it looks like more work than it is worth if you haven't used it since the beginning LOL!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwaits:
I have noticed some infrequent hangs/crashes with .29 as well. Also when you minimize the app (pressing the battery in the top right corner) it is still running in the background, but the task manager will not show it. It's clearly running as it opens back up to the page I minimized at, and also receives SMS messages when they come in. Nothing extremely bad, but a little annoying.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
also, using most recent build, when activating the sms thread view from contact detail view, sent messages do not show up, but received do show up

however, when accessing the sms thread view from Contacts with SMS page, sms sent do show up and received show up

also.. when minimized its still not visible in taskmanagers :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I can't reproduce.

why do you say "still not visible"? did I mention somewhere it should be fixed?........

(by the way, now I say it: in theory it should be fixed).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwaits:
I can't reproduce the SMS sent message issue either, seems to work normal either way you access it for me. As for the not showing in task manager issue, do you mean it will be fixed in .30? Thanks very much for a great app tene, much appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
yes, it should be fixed in 0.30 (and no, there is no release date for 0.30...)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwaits:
Good deal, thanks tene. No problem, it's not a serious issue, just an odd one.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajskhan:
Is there any cab to make it integrate into TF3d?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonno:
Just some feedback in relation to frequent crashes … I'm using PocketCM Contact V0.29 on a SE Xperia X1 with wvga display. Switching from portrait to landscape mode always causes PCM Contacts to crash. Really annoying when its running in background and I switch to landscape mode in another application or to use the slide out keyboard. Other than that I thinks its a fabulous app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aonavy:
how can I get the black theme?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwaits:
It won't exactly integrate into TF3D, but if it is installed and set as the default app in the options of PocketCM Contacts it will launch when you go to the All People softkey option. Also if it is running and minimized (not closed) it will pop up on SMS messages if it is set as the default SMS app as well. Just have to remember to launch it after a restart of your phone.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] fwaits:
Go to http://www.pocketcm.com and look for the Get Themes link under Contacts or search the forums here for some custom ones that may not be there.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aonavy:
aswsome thank you
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aonavy:
how do you enable the theme? ive unzipped it to the folder

edit:found it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
just to let you know.. i am very happy! :D

latest pocketcm daily build has fixed the issue with it hiding from task managers when minimized.. now it is always visible!

only problems now are still the crashing.. it crashes aLOT and often.. usually when I am sending a text (after sending maybe 4 or 5), but sometimes also when i receive... really really hope this gets fixed, never used to crash at all!

also, seems to send the sms, but then it crashes..

very nice!

thanks again .. you are the man

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
Great app and I love 0.29 version!

One thing that I would really love is the possibility to search contacts when sending sms to multiple recipients or forwarding an sms.

It would also be great to have alphabetic search as you have when you are browsing all contacts.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
alright.. so i hard reset my phone recently, and decided to not restore all my texts/call logs

my phone is running much better, and more importantly.. PCMC IS NOT CRASHING! EVER!

also, my smss load instantly now, even though i only have a hundred or so at this point.. its better than having the to load the 8000 (inbox and outbox combined) i have before!

so my recommendation is to just delete text messages!

great work tene.. now i have no problems with pcmc.. so i guess it was not the fault of you but of me the user! (which I kind of assumed)

thanks again

youre the man

htctoucher

by the way..not sure if you have noticed yet, but since you upload on the daily, it probably doesnt matter.. but 1/4/09 build had no pocketcm.exe file in the zip
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
What is the current status of the work? :)

I've downloaded daily build yesterday but PocketCM didn't show up when a new SMS arrived although I had it minimized.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -Vulture-:
Hey tene, htctoucher send me here. First, thanks for this great program, i really enjoy it! But I have a slight problem with adapting his nice PocketCM skin from QVGA to WQVGA.

He resized all graphics to WQVGA and i included them in the skin zip file. The ini files in the skin package are the same than the QVGA variant.

Now everything looks ok, except the detailbackground.png in contact details. The file itself ist 400 pixels in height, but its rendered to short (Details.jpg).

And in landscape, well, take a look at the other jpgs i attached. The graphics are all correctly sized, the are just rendered incorrectly.

I think there are some changes i need to make in the settings.ini, right?

Thanks for any help you can give me!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I would start by looking at all box setting that contains value around 300, 300p or 600 and see if they mean something.

Also it's probably better to make your theme resolution aware:

- 1p is 1px on Q(W)VGA, and 2px on (W)VGA.

- 100% is the width or height of the screen no matter the device.

- negative size take the size from bottom/right border

Once it's working, and if htctoucher agree, it could be great to post the theme on my website.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] -Vulture-:
Ok tene, thanks for the info. Ill try my best, but at the moment i have to learn for my last test in my study, so time is short. But i will definately look into it.:)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] lufc:
great program thanks for the update
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
just thought you would like to know

most recent daily builds crash whenever there is an animation ..eg switching pages

other than that great work as always!thanks

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
Hi tene,

I've been a long time user of PocketCM and it's working great on my new Xperia X1, but, with 1 slight issue. Whenever I rotate the screen, PocketCM jumps to the front. Everything works smoothly in PCM, however it's just this one little bug (not super annoying, I just have to manually close PCM). It never used to do this in any older versions that I had.

Forgive me if it was addressed already, but I searched this thread and the forums and came up with nothing.

BTW, I'm running Wisbar Advance 3 + Wisbar Advance Desktop 2, on the Xperia X1.

Thanks in advance for any insight that you can give!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] klockers:
Hi Tene,

On feature I would love is that after you have deleted a conversation you would return to "Contacts with SMS"-view and the contact would be deleted from the SMS view because you just deleted the entire conversation.

What happens is that I stay in the same SMS-view for this specific contact and when I press the back-button the contact still remains in the "Contacts with SMS"-view and I have to refresh the page in order to remove this contact from SMS-view.

Do you follow me? :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] don_pipo:
Dark Diamond updated!

Hi PocketCM users,

I've updated Dark Diamond skin and created a topic aswell: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=484413

Hope to see your comments there. :)

See you.

Next stable release?

I pulled down a copy yesterday (2/20/09) and it fixed the keyboard sliding problem. It has a few other rough edges, though (UI weirdness in the options screen, won't display at all after changing options until I reboot, "FPS:1" in the upper left corner, etc.).

Can you drop a note in here next time you have a tested version? Also, if you'd like any screen shots of the things I described, just let me know & I'll post them. I'm happy to help with testing, but I don't want to tell you things you already know.

Other than that, I love the app. The finger navigation is great, being able to mark people as "favorite" is a wonderful feature.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
I've noticed quite a few of the issues barrytytnii reports as well.

When rotating screen (opening keyboard on wizard), it also seems to through off the skin a bit. There is extra space at the top.

Most apps seem to hide the soft keyboard automatically when i type on the Wizard hardware keyboard. This doesn't happen with PocketCM.

Regarding the settings.ini file others were talking about. I had problems in previous versions, now I just tweak the black skin to my own taste.

Great program BTW. Thanks!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] utak3r:
This 0.16 with a light skin is really fast.

Just some tweak of the black skin - lightened up a bit, plus tweaked second line color to be more readable. Very light skin, doesn't eat up resources.

Polish language :D

@tene, if you could make a "back" button wider... it's very short, even english word doesn't fit in ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cAnArdtichAud:
In fact every language had the problem for the back button...

This is my translation : ' <-- '
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eldoume:
hello, i don't know how to change the language?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] utak3r:
You have to put you MyLanguage.lang.ini into PCM directory, then choose Options -> Language.

Can you release the SMS threader on its own? I'm already using Sunnysoft Contacts which I love a love, but would like your SMS threader app. Thanks!

Happy tapping not working in pocketcm..

is it posible to fix this?

Thanx.

Still love the speed and stability!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eman3316@optonline.net:

This is a great program!! Thanks a lot and my compliments for the development. Microsoft could use someone like you.

i am getting crashes with daily builds whenever i try to switch pages (ie from all contacts view to contact detail view

hope this will be fixed soon as it makes the app unusable!

don't use the daily build............

or at least read the warning... http://www.pocketcm.com/daily.php

EDIT:

todays build report:

..when trying to minimize pcmc by pressing the top right corner it doesnt crash but slows down my device for some reason and have to soft reset

..upon loading more sms in sms thread view (loading more than were already visible), pcmc crashes

just thought you would like to know, i test each daily build and then go back to the most stable daily i have used

i test for you :D

again, thanks for the great app amd continuing to make it even more amazing

I just installed the 0.29, and realized contact the program always gets activated when I slide out the kayboard, is there a fix for it??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] scar45:
I have an Xperia X1 and have realized the same behavior as you described with v0.29.

I have since switched to the March 04 daily build, but I am also experiencing the issue where switching pages causes the phone to crash, or PCM to use 100% CPU.

I'm sure tene is aware of this, and I'll be anxiously awaiting the next daily build to see if these issues are fixed.

Thanks for a great app tene!

Hi..

This is a very long thread and Im not sure if my answer is somewhere buried within..

can someone point me in the direction or let me know how I can make PocketCM Contacts the default program.. so when I press the phone button this program comes up.. or get a txt/sms message ect..

thanks in advance..

Samsung Omnia I910 with Current version of PocketCM Contacts w/Dark Diamond II v3 skin.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bokechukwu1:
which build is the most stable that you have used and i saw on the pocketcm website forum that if you delete the text file contact.cache that it help reduce the crashes atleast, im not sure if it completely gets rid of it
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Sean D.:
???

Care to elaborate, on this, or post a link to that thread. Please?! :confused:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] youngsien:
i tested the daily build 0.30.16 , i found some bug:

1. i've received sms from 7887 (only 4digit number) but in pocketcm sms it says i receive sms from one of my contact name with 7887 in the last digit of her number. But in original sms application it shows the sms received from the right number (7887)

2. can we send new sms to a new contact that is not on our contact list?

3. it shows wrong clock in the contact list page, but it is ok in the option page, anything wrong with this? i'm using pocket cm with dark diamond 0.94 themes

anyway, this apps is good, just please increase it's speed, thanks n keep working
