It has changed in 0.24, use:

# to set all image as mirror

image.*.ismirror=1

# to set sms picture (new in 0.24)

image.contactsms.ismirror=1

# to set contact detail picture

image.contactdetail.ismirror=1

However, it won't make the default contact picture (the one shown when there is no contact picture) mirrored, you need to specify a background that contain the mirrored image. Or you can use the new image background setting to ask PocketCM to create the mirror for you, for instance:

image.contactdetail.nopicture.background=fillimage(person.png,mirror)

This way, you can really specify any combination you may want...

... and by the way, 0.24 is out, enjoy!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
I am having some problems using PocketCM of most any version. For one, I can not select a ringer that I want. Without PocketCM installed I can select any .mp3 that I have made and I used to be able to with pocketCM until...well i think after pocketcm .19 maybe. Ok so I can ignore that, however when I try to use pocketCM to load up a picture for a contact, active sync screams error and refuses to transfer teh changes. PocketCM is the only contact manager I have used that actually makes the contact pictures look right and not distorted but active sync won't have any of it. So I tried iContact, it is decent however the contact pictures are all distorted when I I add them to my favorites list on the cube which pocketcm doesn't do...anymore. So if the standard included program is used I get ringers and active sync works. If i use PocketCM, the pictures look good but can't select any customized ringers and active sync won't work and if I try iContact, pictures look wrong but I can select custom ringers and active sync works. Can I get someone to put the best of both icontact and pocketcm together so I can have a functioning contact manager???

Love the -sms option. Thank you. :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ptfdmedic:
Really nice. But can we please allow for a 12hr clock. I hate the 24hr clock. All new versions of iContacts allow for this now. Otherwise I like it better then iContracts. Nice Work....

Can you tell me how to use thi option. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] joshrys:
can anyone confirm that the SMS progress bar is working better in this version? with .23 it took almost 10 seconds to send a msg. I went back to version .20b and it takes only 1-2 seconds (no progress bar).

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Thanks for the update. Great to see command line arguments finally made it in :)

But is it just me, or only the -sms option works? I can't get any other argument to work: with -contacts, -phone and -favorite options PocketCM just launches in last used view instead of one specified in the shortcut.

Can anyone confirm this?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] itesla:
dial pad??? I think I saw this once but don't know how to get to it. It seems like it just did a filter too, didn't dial the phone. It would be cool if you could dial the number.

Could you make it a dial pad replacement too (show the keypad, history, etc...).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
my shortcut

Can someone make a shortcut to the sms.

Also can some help me to change the font large and pics and move company name under the number.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ycimpir:
a little problem..

maybe it's a bug :D

when I look to SMS list, it shows also incoming calls ..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] boyet804:
u can disable it from the settings
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ycimpir:
ok..

thx a lot bro :cool:
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] littlerain:
Use Resco Explorer to make a shortcut. The path must be: "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe" - sms
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mr_deimos:
Or even better - use Total Commander (unlike resco explorer, it's free).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aih1977:
THANKS GUYS!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] eazy2001x:
The only thing I would add is the possibility to add a signature, cut and past into the send SMS box and the ability to send multiple recipients e-mails. This way I can completely stop using outlook.

of and some type of switches so we can program external applications to use this program. Like pocketcm -c to go to contacts, pocketcm -sms to send a sms message, etc..

Yeah I know I’m asking for a lot and thanks for your help today.. I was able to update my theme and it looks good.. I’ll post it tomorrow some time.

I can't wait to get to my PC later and try to skin this thing. I really need to get my hands on an emulator though. I am still stuck on versio .15 (I believe) because I can't figure out skinning the background and menu buttons to pics...not just colors!! Not complaining though, I think the version I am on now is fantastic, and if I can ever get this version to look the way I like, I think I am in for a HUGE treat!!!!!!

Version 24 bug.

the sms threader for most of my contacts is loading sent or received messages. this is very buggy in the version.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Huey85:
A bump for any more VGA skins for PocketCM? Thanks in advance. I've got the blue iphone-ish one installed but would love to see some more.. the stock Contacts manager on WM6.1 in the HTC Touch Diamond is pathetic.. scrolling with thumb/finger just doesnt work.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Bugs

I don't know what it is but the memory drain on this program is stout. It starts out at 2.53mb and within an hour, of no use, is up to 3.4mb and climbing. I would figure that a program as good as this would have "some" memory consumption but to consume then leak/drain is causing me fits.

Also, when I look a contact up and send a new sms them for the first time the following conversations are alerted with the sms bubble but do not appear in the threading. I have to close out and go back in to see them.

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
How do you measure memory usage? what you mean by "no use"? what theme are you using?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] forforce:
Can somebody please make a VGA theme for this program, I love it but I can`t use it and I think that I`m not the only one.Great app but we need a VGA theme too. Thanx
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
I use a task manager to measure the amount of memory and CPU usage the program is using. No use refers to the program running but not actively using it. The theme either the one you created standard or an iphone theme by EDS or iOlio. Most recent was just with the standard theme.

Thanks,

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] yerp:
thanks for the update tene.....i've been using the app since version .22, good stuff...

one thing i have noticed since my device got a WM6.1 update though...when entering an sms conversation, the messages are still loaded remote(other persons messages) first, then local(my messages). i understood this in WM6 as the sms was not threaded and needed to be ordered by pocketcm, but i thought that this would change with threaded sms in WM6.1....no big deal, the app is still the best.

keep up the good work!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Still looking for a helpful solution if anyone can help? Is my post count to low or something? Also is there a way to force programs to use PCM to send text and receive text? Seriously, it's like I use it to send but then when I get a text it switches to the default text messenger.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jim256:
hey, sorry that you never received a response earlier. all i can say is that that is very strange and that a simple hard reset may very well do the trick. hard reset, connect to active sync and just sync maybe one small item (like notes or something), then if that goes well, install pcm 24 and try again. soft-reset after installing and dont install/change/set-up ANYTHING else...just to try and narrow down the problem.

sorry good luck!

EDIT: also, what rom and such are you running?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Hi thanks for trying to help.

Hard reset doesn't change anything. The problem still exists. If I remove PocketCM, then everything is normal to include distorted pictures and active sync works fine. I did notice that active sync works if I don't select the sync files option.

My biggest complaint really now is simply that I can't select custom ringers and I can't seem to get the touch to use PocketCM as the default texting program. What I mean is, I can select contacts on teh bottom left and pocketcm will come up. I can send a text no problem. But if I close it out, or the phone goes to sleep and I get a reply text, it reverts to the default texting program. Rather annoying. Am I missing something? Do I need to do something someplace to make every program that can text know that PocketCM is the only one to use?

Oh and I am using the just released new rom for the HTC Touch that activated the GPS and Windows 6.1. So an official rom.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nolageek:
not sure if this would be a feature of ContactCM or if there's something else that does this... but after syncing with Outlook (the only way I could figure out to transfer conacts from one phone to another) the Names that had multiple numbers are all duplicated --- one for each phone number. I know this is a common problem (I had this problem with my Razr) --- is there any way to merge them? Could this be a future option in ContactCM?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] illcaptive:
I noticed that v 24 has a hard time pulling up the threaded sms otherwise i love that its faster and still easy to use.

joe
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] :
Same problem here. Ipaq 6945 wm5. I had previously custom ringtones in WMA format selected, and only hear the default phone ringtone on all calls now. In the contact, I can still see my custom ringtone selection, it just doesn't play it for whatever reason.

Btw, even with the problem above, this is still the best contacts program i've used.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
i opened a thread on tene's forum regarding this issue. please post it there so he knows it's a common problem: http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?15,10912
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ManuTouch:
Yeah I am having the same problem. Sometimes it shows them, sometimes it doesn't. They come and disappear as it pleases, and it's not like I have a huge amount of messages on my phone currently, I cleared them all out before installing PocketCM, and yet it has a hard time dealing with 20 messages total on the phone....I think he tried to speed things up and the thing went haywire with the limiting he did.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
Hmmm, I guess there isn't much in the way of support then? Or is the dev on vacation? Would really like for teh dev to acknowledge if these are bugs or intentional things.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Synned:
I can't seem to get all of the cmd parameters working. I am using batterystatus to launch them, and I have on that is PocketCM.exe -sms and one that is PocketCM.exe -contacts. The sms will work and open up SMS every time, but the contacts one just opens up whatever was open last.

Any ideas?

Does anyone know where the favorites are stored?

I want ot backup my favorites before doing a hard reset.

I found nothing in the registry.

All I stumbled upon was the contacts.cache, there is a switch before an contact favorite/not favorite.

Editing that works, at least some time, but this is not the only place where this information is stored. If I delete this cache my favorites are still there...

Any help would be highly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wardy:
Jeez man this is a FREE app that is always going through updates and its evolved into one of the best if not the best FREE contacts app around .

Show some respect please
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] machmandp:
Whooopps thanks

I missed the update :)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Look! its a free program jack. If he doesn't want to provide an ounce of support he doesn't have to. He doesn't even have to alert you that he doesn't want to help you. He doesn't have to be nice, polite, kind or thoughtful. It is the golden rule. "He who holds the gold makes the rules". The reality is Tene is all of the above and he does provide support. It may not be on the timing you prefer or way in which you want it but who are you to go bustin balls on something that is free. If your frustrated that you can't get it to work thats understandable but at the end of the day you have 2 choices accept it the way it is and continue to look for a solution or don't use it. You have not rights here. This isn't communism!! You can't force the guy to work for little or nothing. It has been by experience that when it is free is when people complain the most.

And you can always go to the forum on is site and list your concern.

If you cause Tene to stop developing I am sure you will have a million users looking to make your intrails your extrails.!!!:D

v0.24-SMS Counter and Character Counter

Bug??

Same problems as previos version. I must switch back to 0.21.

First the SMS Character Counter in my theme appears on bottom right over the send button. In v0.24 it stays on top in the middle. I dont know why.

Second the SMS Counter dont work. Sometimes I get an sms and I tap on SMS than on the contact with the incoming sms and nothing shows. And the SMS Counter counts undefinied numbers. I get an sms an sometimes it will add 5 or more sms.

Thats not all it add countings on all contacts with sms.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] aceracer24:
FFS, get off your high horse. There was no disrespect what so ever. Simple questions, supported or not, vacation or not, would like to know if these problems people have had were bugs or not. Free or pay, it's still a dev's responsibility to give some sort of support and of course that support varies based on many factors but the point remains...all that was asked was a simple yes or no. I didn't demand anything and I didn't abuse him verbally or otherwise. Considering the date I initially asked and the time a NEGETIVE ATTITUDE response from the dev was given, I think I had given a HUGE amount of time and was extremely patient for an answer and of course what I get instead is this kind of response....? Thank you anyway but I guess considering this little episode, this is not the place for me. Thank you for the hard work on the apps.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] g00ndu:
Chill out, man.....

I can understand your intention, but the choice of words used can be better. I have tried some programs and subsequently uninstall them (not because they are not good, but there were conflicts and no one is able to help). It's not their fault, since they are developing programs based on their devices. And I feel they are already doing us a great favour by sharing them with us.

Let's give them some recognition, shall we? :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wardy:
Ok , you are using windows mobile 6.1 and the programme runs and was tested on Windows mobile 6 . 6.1 has built in threaded sms and this maybe a conflict in itself. I have a problem with my touch diamond where the app closes when I try and access the menu on the bottom bar.

So my stance is its probably windows mobie 6.1 . Phrases like FFS and using CAPITALS in your threads and comments like 'have I not made enough posts or something 'are probably the reason why you got such a negative response .

Sorry I could not be of further help but the latest upgrade (Win Mo 6.1)you did has probably not helped . Likewise with me I can't use this great app at the moment but will wait for the next release.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I don't think WM6.1 is the cause of the issue as the items are stored in a very similar way, just displayed differently.

With the Diamond, it may be an issue of the VGA screen, and the skin you have.

You can always turn of threaded SMS and see if that makes a difference (there is a nice GUI for that somewhere)

The reason I say this is that I have no issues with it running on 6.1 with threaded SMS on my Prophet.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] wardy:
Many thanks will try that
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
Jackass! your entiled to nothing and dev had no responsibility whatsoever to you or anyone else.

can i do command lines in grumps' iphone launcher?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] curious george:
You absolutely should be able to. You may not be able to use the configurator to do so but you can definately do it by manually editing the settings.ini.

if that doesnt work then create a .lnk file with note pad and then point your icon to that.

good luck!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] extraducksauce:
how would i do the command line for grumps? in other words, what is the format.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
The favorite flag is stored inside the contact database as a custom property. (the name is "isfavorite2" or something like that). I have no idea how it can be backuped easily with a backup software (I generally copy the whole file, but I'm not a big fan of hard reset either).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] gundalbert:
Maybe a noob question... but how is this file called? Pim.vol ?

Anyway, thx for your reply. Now I know where to search for a solution.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] l3v5y:
I think it is called PIM.vol, but, after you hard reset, it gets recreated, so you'll have to rename the new one before copying the one with your data over it.

Main Contact Screen Problem

I've been trying different themes and seems that the main contact page always gives my problem.

The Default photo is always not shown

It always shows a grey box.

The grey box is always misaligned.

My device is QVGA.

Any ideas how to solve this issue?

It seems that the only theme where the photo is showing correctly is the Black theme that comes with the installation.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
That's probably because you're using pre 0.24 theme. It changed in 0.24 to be more coherent with the rest (and allow nicer stuff like mirroring). If you wait a little there should be some updated theme that should come soon.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
0.25 is up, enjoy!

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
It should be the case, please soft reset your device.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] tene:
Without much more information it's unlikely to be fixed, can you find a pattern? does it happen with every contact? etc....
