hi,i use this sofeware today,

i found it is very funny.

but there are some problems in my phone with this sofeware.

1.when i use the sms panel,i can put out the virtual keyboard,but sometime when i click the virtual keyboard ,it will disappear.

and i click the sofeware bottom,the virtual keyboard will come out again.

2.in the dialing panel,i can input the numbers and the symbol:* # too, but i can't input the C button when i need to delete the number.the C button doesn't work.

my device is HTC touch pro.

how can i fix it to normal?

thank you!

Hi!

Same with my prophet. Delete conversation won't do a thing.

tene stopped development because his phone died. Anyone got a new one and can donate his old mobile? ;o)

Maybe as a late xmas gift?

Cheers,

Alex
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
This bug should be fixed in 0.28... however the current 0.28 build is far from stable... and without proper phone to test it's quite hard (and useless to me).

Let's hope some HTC device will be "on sales" in january ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] pachwald:
Hi tene!

Great to hear you're still working on pocketcm!

Happy new year,

Alex
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thehellraiser:
BRILLIANT !,

AWESOME job ..

I really like your work. Hats off to you :) .

I wanna DONATE but not know how can i do that.

I'm from India. I don't have credit card, only have debit cards. Hope I'll find a way or need help.

28 behaving a lil weird for me

sms bubbles do not render as they used to

..the fill doesnt seem to be in the right place

and the separators are under the letters (a,b,c..)

would it be possible to upload v27 in the old version place?

thanks

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
with what theme?...............

(getting a little bit tired of always asking the same question)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
sorry!

custom theme i havent uploaded this one

ill attach for you ;)

cant uppad from device for some reason..

ill upload it in a couple hours.. but the theme worked fine with v27 i only got the two problems i mentioned when i switched to v28
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
meaning: your theme is probably bugged, and instead of fixing it you want to go back to previous version? :p

I'm guessing your margin is wrong, too short. Previous version were drawing the background before the image, now the image are drawn first, it allow to make transparent overlay (applying a shadow to an image for instance).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
hmm.. good point :D

ill take a look at dream when i get to my computer and fix mine and let you know if i have any problems
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Also, you're right the height of the separator isn't taken into account, will be fixed for next release.

And for 0.27, every previous release is available here: http://www.pocketcm.com/olddl.php

However, that would also be great to have some feedback about the change/improvement you see... I thought that a skinner like you would be happy to see the dev mode and the cache options, as well as the way to specify theme setting, to avoid 20 versions of the same theme with only minor change... :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
yeah i have been looking forward to these features for a while!

you just caught me at a bad time.. Im a lil burnt out at the moment for skinning :D

if I had the energy I would love to put my themes that have multiple SMS bubbles etc together into one :p (this is possible now right?)

I'll be checking it out soon ..that cache option will definitely come on handy

great work as always

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Yes, now it's possible!

I would advise you to read the doc (I've just updated) and look at the Dream theme to see how it's done...

tene,

for any reason in dump.txt localization strings are not shown in 0.28 dump.

None of them. So I cannot update language file to the latest strings.

Any suggestion or can you just post the latest strings introduced

with 0.28.

When I install cab version the version shows 0.29 and the settings dialogue is screwed.

When I use the zip version it shows 0.28 and it works. Bug in install version?

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Indeed it's bugged, I attached the latest version. It will "work again" in 0.29.

And you're right it seems the cab is broken... :'(
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
The attached dump also does not have the local infos inside:

Just need the few new strings like developer mode, No Header, cache disable

and SMS counter type(s). Or a dump with included loc data :D

Btw, what exactly does the "No header" option?

Olioaglio

P.S. Yes, deletion of SMS, contacts etc. work again in 0.28
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Sure about that?...

No header and SMS counter type are theme dependant so you'll find them in Dream.zip...

Tried it? what's at the top of the screen?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eta_vu:
Possible bug

Tene,

I'm using version .28 and I have it on a Sprint Mogul with a DCD ROM 3.2.6. My theme is the black one which comes with the install. When I have my hardware keyboard out type a text and send it, close out pocketcm and I'm back @ my home screen when I slide the keyboard shut and go back to portrait mode for some reason pocketcm opens back up.

Any idea what could cause this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
how do you "close out" pocketcm?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eta_vu:
Well I minimize and not necessarily close out.

I tap the top right corner and it is also always running because it's added on my exclusive list of programs to run.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
When you say 'Exclusive list' is that an app that keeps certain apps running at all times, or just your terminology for your important apps? I ask because I am looking for something to keep PocketCM running all the time, it seems to close a lot on my Omnia (not due to the app itself, due to others).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
For those who want, I've added a "daily/automated" build page, so you can test "the very last version".

--> http://www.pocketcm.com/daily.php
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
Just noticed this and think its a nice idea.

Just a quick suggestion though (if it's easy to implement), it may be a good idea to have that date / timestamp in the filename on download for later reference.

EDIT: oops nvm just noticed that it is indeed in the filename of the cab, I was just looking at the zip that it is contained in.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
yes, but its fixed in daily 0.28.31 thanks

ok, thanks. will try to implement this to iOlio 4.1 theme.

ah, got it now... thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
OK..I installed the latest build on my Omnia i910 WM6.1 and have a couple issues that happen with PocketCM. When I go into the settings and chose a skin, I keep getting the screen that is image 1 (the word in the top corner is my carrier name garbled) and I can't do anything with it at all. Image number 2 illustrates how it shows in my task manager, and I can't kill PocketCM with it either, I have to do a reset and it is back to the dream skin (which I really don't care for, I keep trying to get the black skin again).

Image 3 isn't really a bug, and I thought I heard it mentiond before, but after installation of .28 my device still says .27. I know I have the current version because I have the 'No Header' option (which I love BTW)!!!!

edit...OK after about 10 minutes my task manager can kill PocketCM!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
can you test the ZIP version (after removing the pocketcm folder from your device).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I would be more than happy to, I am going to uninstall, delete the program folder and the reg string for PocketCM tonight. When you say 'ZIP version' Do you mean the exe to install via ActiveSync?

P.S. Just curious...the 'no header' option is excellent, will that be available in the Black theme eventually?

Thanks for the attention to my post!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] baudac:
I too have a sprint mogul, using v0.28 and having this same incident.

a) Minimizing pocketcm in the background to work with other application,

b) sliding to open/close the hardware keyboard will bring back up the minimized pocketcm to the front, regardless of what application I am working with. I will test out the "bring pocketCM to front" option. Maybe this have some kind of correlation to it. :confused:

c) This behavior will not happen if I completely exit pocketcm from taskbar manager.

Also is there a way to change the 24hr clock to 12hr format? I am not sure if it's theme related, I am using olio v4.0 theme atm.

Thank you tene for all your effort. :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] badwolf:
if i have default app selected then it opening kb and typing brings up pocket cm on my touch pro....
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jok3sta:
im having the same problem with my touch pro. No mTter what options i have selected, pocketcm opens up when i open the keyboard
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
should be fixed in next build
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
OK Tene....I just installed the EXE and so-far so-good. I can switch themes no problem. I'll see how it reacts to SMS soon, but it opens + closes pretty well! I will keep an eye on it, and look forward to a possible Black theme with the two tweaks you added to Dream!!!

Thanks again!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
Not theme related, it seems unfortunately not possible yet to change.

Maybe tene makes it also possible sometime...:p

Btw, I plan to release iOlio 4.1 with new 0.28 functions today. stay tuned

tene, latest daily runs perfect ATM

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] baudac:
v 0.28 does the same thing. Either closing the "X" on pocketCM when its not on full screen mode or closing the "X" on the task menu, they will give an error.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] zard:
not sure why but when I try to download the cab versions of keyboard and contacts, I only get zip files with two text files in it.

looking forward to test the daily cab builds.

thanks.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
should be ok now
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] baudac:
tene,

I am happy to report back on a 6800 mogul, the daily/automated" build page, has rid the bug when you slide open the hardware keyboard.

Also, it rid the crashes when clicking on the "X" button. When you minimize pocketcm it will completely close itself out from the task manager tray thus freeing memory usage.

The loading time seems to be alot faster.

I let you know if anything changes. Donation on its way..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Thanks for reporting this!

I've got rid of a few nasty memory bug that could be the root cause of lot of issue like that... let's hope I don't manage to break stuff later ;)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
Tene...I decided to try out the Daily build version, and I must say...I don't have the skin issue I had with the last version's CAB install, and the opening/bringing to the front of the device seems to be lightning fast right now. What took about 10-15 seconds before loads in just a few seconds (if that long) I will continue to keep an eye on it!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
Minor skinning problem

hi tene,

i am nearly finished with converting the iOlio theme to be fully compliant

to the PCM 0.28 new features like SMS counter and No Header.

Unfortunately there's one last nasty bug which prevents me from releasing

the new version. As you can see on the screenshot attached, I was not able

to find the theme setting for getting the blue line (below the contact picture)

10p(ixels) upwards to match the No Headers more space correctly.

This is really driving me MAAAAD. Tried for hours now...

Could you please post the solution (settings code line) for this item here

in the thread or by PM?

Thanks in advance m8,

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
without your theme, I can't help. There is "one setting to set to make it right" I'm afraid.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
OK, so I will attach it here and hope you do me the favour to examine it?!

I wanted to avoid to post a prerelease version, bc then there would be

a buggy version floating around maybe, but...

As you can see in the screenshot there's the position problem,

which only occurs if header is off. This is because the line does not

move up and I can't find the correct setting(s).

Thanks for help in advance,

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
You could also send it by mail.

You're telling: if noheader is on, let's move up the button list (the one containing call, sms, mail...) a bit up, which make sense... but you're never setting the position of the button back, edit, note and more... neither the background for those button.

you have to set:

button.contactdetail.back.box=0,142p,25%,172p

button.contactdetail.edit.box=25%,142p,50%,172p

button.contactdetail.note.box=50%,142p,75%,172p

button.contactdetail.more.box=75%,142p,100%,172p

label.contactdetail.buttons.box=0,142p,100%,100%

Also I see there are still:

show_contact_images_in_list=1

bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=1

In your theme... there are useless, and user memory for nothing (small amount however).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
Thanks a lot tene, :D

edited/added the options and it works now as it should.

Also thanks for headsup with the useless lines. Deleted them.

I will further test iOlio 4.1 this day and then hopefully release it

in this evening along with an updated German language localization file.

Cheers,

I've tried v 0.28 and when I recieive an SMS PocketCM does not show up even though I've only minimized it.

Anyone else with this problem?

tene..

would you be willing to look at my theme and possibly let me know why I am having the following issues:

..when pressing the back button (upperleft corner) in sms view or contact detail, there is a strange redrawing issue that happens.. ull have to see it to understand

..i cant seem to hide the note header (unfocused)

..i cant find the settings to change the addcontact list settings (when you add a new contact by typing a new number with the phonepad and then selecting "add ##" (if you do this youll see there is a white box with mine)

..how do you change the image corresponding to the "only unread count" think in custom settings (youll see it in my theme)

..why do I have two "SMS Count" settings when I have set it up to be one for sms count and one for sms history?

..switching between landscape and portrait messes up the bottom icons in contact list view and other stuff like the number in phonepadedit view and some other views (seems the settings stick, they dont change for landscape/portrait) - this is more of a bug i think

by the way i am using v0.29.40

would u be willing?..ill attach just in case

also.. sweet addition of multiple sms (would there be a possibility of adding option to send to a category?)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
also by the way.. saving any edits to a contact results in a crash

i dont know if this is a problem with new versions.. but setting contact pictures with pcm contact now makes the fullscreen in s2u2 blurry.. never used to do this...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I didn't look at all of them, but I think that's just the order that is not right: you define an option that will change somme setting, the option get loaded... and further in your settings.ini your override the change. I don't have the time right now to look at your other issue.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Olioaglio:
htchtoucher:

Perhaps you will find the one or other answer by examining/comparing

yours with my recent theme settings...

Olioaglio
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] syrguy1969:
I am working off the 1-11 daily build, and I have to admit Tene...it is getting faster. I don't know if it is my imagination or not, but even from being closed, the contacts + SMS are loading a lot faster. Another thing I notice is that the new SMS are showing before all the information is in the buffer (past SMS, images...) and THAT I like, sometimes if the app isn't open when a new text comes in with the older version I would sit and wait a while before I got to it, but now I can at least see and reply to the message before the app is even fully loaded!!!!

The only things I can thing of that would make this better is to have the new skin options in the black theme as well (I am sure that is coming though), and an option to ativate an SPB Watcher-type action....basically have PocketCM always running, even to the extent of automatically starting again if closed in error or by the system!!!

So great work, the daily builds are going great!!!!

(I am on a WM 6.1 Omnia i910 BTW)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Thanks for the feedback: however remember it's daily build, for instance, in one of them, send sms to more than one contact was basically sending SMS to all of your contact... :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
i guess i dont really understand how it works.. i looked at your dream theme, and it seems you also override the changes in your settings.ini.. isnt that necessary since ther needs to be something in the changes' place if the change isnt activated?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
take the content of your ini file, copy/paste them at the exact same location you have your "custom.setting" line. That's how PocketCM does internally.

After he load line by line... and in your case, there are many time the same line, only the last one is considered as the value.

In my theme it works, because I define variable (the $ stuff) that are defined at the top, then redefined when applying the setting, the only after they are used...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
ahhh i get it.. simply moved all of it to the bottom of the settings.ini file.. worked :D

thanks a ton for that fix

now i am having issues with the selectlist.. tried to add in ur dream lines but couldnt change the selected items and the header was non existanat.. has it changed?

----it seems the select list is broken in v28+.. highlighted images do not show up

.......also in recent daily builds the header is broken in select lists

....also.. issues with the sms bubbles loading (each sms loads twice with newest daily builds)

..biggest gripe: pocketcm doesnt come to front anymore!!

thot youd like to know

great work as always

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] bbonzz:
Same for me (Blackstone, using daily 0.28.15, but the same with all the other builds)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
great work tene as always

my only issue with newest daily builds is that the selectlists have issues with headers and selected images

also more importantly pocketcm no longer comes to front even with that function enabled

cant wait for these to be fixed! :D

thanks

htctoucher
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
I don't see what you mean?

That's the kind of things for which I need... a device :s

By the way, next version should render text a lot faster... which lead to great performance improvement while scrolling list.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] htctoucher:
wish i could donate one to you :D

it seems even with the default dream theme in the select list (for company, country, changing the sms count in custom settings etc) the selected images do not work (you select something but you cant tell becasue there is no image overlay that shows up.. even if it is defined in settings.ini)

sounds good abou the text rendering! cant wait.. and wish i could help you with the "to front" issue becuase that is really the only big issue!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
are you sure you set it right? Most theme aren't working because it was bugged before.

No you have to define:

list.*.item.background=

list.*.item.background.highlighted=

list.*.item.background.highlighted.selected=

list.*.item.background.selected=

highlighted means it the current one, selected means it's selected.

Also the new select dialog show the selection in the header, for that you have the:

# align the label on top, depending of the size

label.selectionpreview.box=auto(top)

# where does the text appear

label.selectionpreview.text.box=0p,4p,100%,-4p

# and the background of the label

label.selectionpreview.background=fillalpha(#FFFFFF,126)

It seems to work for me, but I haven't really tested it "a lot".
