hey ya'll, so i wanted to check on the code to start messing with it, but upon opening the vcproj (vs2005), i get:

The following error has occurred during XML parsing:

-----------------------

File: C:\Documents and Settings\maki\Desktop\iContact_v0.6_source\iContact\iContact.vcproj

Line: 9

Column: 2

Error Message:

'9,00' violates enumeration constraint of '7.00 7,00 7.10 7,10 8.00 8,00'.

The attribute 'Version' with value '9,00' failed to parse.

The file 'C:\Documents and Settings\maki\Desktop\iContact_v0.6_source\iContact\iContact.vcproj' has failed to load.

---------------------

any suggestions? i don't think it's an issue of it being an 08 proj as opposed to 05, and therefore not converting .... or is it?

I installed the cab version, but when i press the soft key, there's an error saying it can't open the file icontac because is not signed with a trusted certificate.

but i can open it if i go to menu programs then icontact..it opens!!

I think it has something to do with me running a german PPC.

Program -files are stored in "/Programme", not in "/Program Files".

How can I patch it? I tried the reg-Key "Today/Keys/113" but it just works to the next soft-reset. After that it seems to be overwritten by your settings.

Edit:

Found it out myself:), will perhaps help s.o. else:

I changed

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS Changed String "1" value from "\Program Files\iContact.exe" to "\Programme\iContact.exe"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] YaTwice:
Microsoft doesn't like backward compatibility, even when the file structure is the same.

VS08 files CAN be opened in VS05, but you have to modify the version numbers.

Open the .sln file with a notepad and change:

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 10.00

to

Microsoft Visual Studio Solution File, Format Version 9.00

open the .vcproj file with notepad and change:

Version="9,00"

to

Version="8,00"

Opens with VS 2005 then, no problem.

hi,

Primarily excuse my English. Just wanted to know if there is possibility of restructuring iContact v03 because it is the version I like best pq not eat anything and is the perfect added to the system as improvement. The question of restructuring is because I have noticed that when you have many many contacts not showing all. Only the first letter draws omitting everything else and also is malfunctioning. If someone could fix this for the old version would be great. For my taste lo unico que le faltaria to this version (v03) would be the photo next to the name on the list and that when seleccionaras enter into details operating system like this today.

A greeting to all.

iContacts ROCKS!

I've been using it for a couple weeks now. Fast, and scrolls nice. (unless I'm thinking about the new scrolling feature of wm6.1) Anyway, I love it. I was looking for a way to integrate it with smartskey in the phone app. I found on a thread talking about RandomAccess (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=339507&highlight=smartskey) that with a simple edit of the registry you can make iContact your default contact manager. Make sure after you edit you give the registry plenty of time to write before doing the soft reset. It works fine on my Wizard, but your mileage may vary.

Make a backup of your registry or at least the MSCONTACTS key before you edit. Edit at your own risk, yada, yada, yada...

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"0"="Contacts"
"1"="iContact.exe"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
i'm running this on my Wizard.. and it's a wonderful application.. certainly much more comfortable than the regular WM contacts but only to people who use touch scrolling. when you scroll down using the D-PAD if you scroll continously it'll stick to the same screen and run the same contacts over and over again without flipping to the next page.. maybe that's something to change.. i prefer using the D-PAD to scroll thru my contacts.. i assume im not the only one.

thank you larna :) wonderful work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
LOL...I installed this for almost 2 weeks, and after I read your post. I realized that missing buttons for Q, X and Y. I may not use X, but I do have friends with Y...Yolanda, Yvonne. For Q, my friends..Quang(vietnamese).

Any fix for to replace these yet?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
D-pad works on my tmobile wing (with open touch v3 lite).

No problem with Q, X and Y. Only the letters that are not in the contact list are not showing up.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
yeah.. the D-PAD works.. but when you scroll without releasing it won't turn pages...

and you're right about QXY... the problem starts when you have 2 languages.. i have english and hebrew and not enough space for all the letters.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bowlopho:
um yeah it doesnt turn the page cause then you'll lose track on where you are. as you hit the bottom of the list, the next contact shoots up to the middle of the screen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
oh.. well then.. probably doens't work just for me :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lchabrot:
Good evening,

Someone wants me to make a iContact with the blue background?

Please .... And continue like that, you are genials

Thank You

Does someone have the time to go through this code and make the app skinnable? Being able to change colors would be great, but being able to do pics with transparency and all that would be even cooler.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
i hate to ask but can someone tell me how do i save the app so it can be read on my pocket pc. i opened icontact.cpp with visual studio and edited it a little bit but dont know how to save.

can someone help me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
whenever i close/exit the program, my favorites list also gets wiped. is there a way to make it stick so i dont have to keep going through and making the favorites evertime i load up the contact app/restart the phone?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
ooo right... does that Favourite Wiping for me as well :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
glad i'm not the only way. should i be glad? haha.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
well.. thank you very much :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Does the icon have pink corners for anyone else? Obviously that's supposed to be the transparent part, but it shows up as pink in both HTC touch today plugin and even in my start menu...

I updated the .ico if you want to put it into the source trunk.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bereda:
any one no how to make the right soft key open this program?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
easiest way is to run this lil program that lets you remap the left and right soft keys. jsut unzip it and run it on your ppc. no need to install
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
You need to set the build mode to release; right click on the project name (iContact) and the choose build. Once the project has been built you need to go into the project folder: you should see a folder called something like "Pocket PC 2003 (ARMV4)". Inside of that choose the release folder and you should see your .exe file that you need to bring over to you device.

I'm not going to post a how-to for this because I feel that if you are going to delve into the programming world you should go research on your own how to fully utilize the tools.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
Don't know if ya'll have solved this but i had the same problem at first. I was running iContact from my storage card. Once I moved it to the device it works fine.

My 2 cents.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
well thanks thats all i needed
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
just moved it off my storage card and onto the device and it works now. thank you.

Hopefully someone can change the default colors

it would be cool for it to match my Theme =]

Im guessing the ThemeSupport.CPP is what needs to be modified

I was looking through it , and it seems the colors are in standard decimal colors

but im not familiar with programming so i would have no idea how to export it to an exe or anything after changeing the colors :confused:

thats what iv been looking at

its called the Themesupport file

its easily changeable but i just have no idea if it would work lol or how to archive it back into an .EXE

i have no experience in programming at all, its all in C++ from my guessing so hopefully someone can help out
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
yeah ive tried changeing all the colors from there and it still stays black
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlimDan22:
What i was trying to figure out is the

if Type == THEME_DAY

and the

if Type == THEME_NIGHT

in the Themesupport file

im lost
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
yeah how do we know what being used
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlimDan22:
im guessing its two separate themes or used to be

i remember the old version used to be white
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kidnamedAlbert:
yeah thats what i going for. and the seperator bars to be blue

Suggestions/requests

Firsy of all:GREAT APP !

Could you or somebody add the possibility to go back to the contact list by pressing left soft button instead of having to move all the way up to top of screen and use right button for something like egg. edit

add the possibility of a qwerty keyboard

Thanx, i love it
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lchabrot:
I love this program, and I would have liked me to do someone with a blue background ...

Is this possible?

Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nicxor:
This program is really cool ! graphicaly the presentation is nice too

but we doesn't see the photos of the contacts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
Ah the dualing themes...

In ContactList.cpp the theme is hard coded to "20", its around line 1407. So the default is the night theme. While it is really really rough code I was able to have the device grab the device time and compare it against a day start and end time in the settings.ini file. So I can get the Day Theme (white backgrounds black text: easier to read in bright light) between the time I set and after that it dumps to the night theme.

I've added the .exe for folks to try out. You need to add the following to your settings.ini file

[theme_details]
day_start=6
day_end=21

***the time reads off in 24 hour format, so just choose the hour you want the day to start and the hour you want it to end...here i shows the day starting at 6am and ending at 9pm.***

I modified the ThemeSupport.cpp file to suit my tastes, its just a bit different from the original.

I have also included the 2 modified .cpp files in the zip for anyone who wants to build from here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlimDan22:
It would be pretty cool if someone used the source code to make an app like this for text messages

like itext or something lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sdtasch:
Excellent App.

Tried a couple different ones out there, this is the best for me & easiest to use. I'm not a programer so I wouldn't know where to begin. But maybe someone out there could do this.

1. When you see your list of names no phone number shows up. it would be a nice feature (sometime you just want to see a number without all the button pushes.

2. When you actually choose a contact to view it would be nice to see an address if one is present in the contact. Also catagory if one is present. Any notes you have for a contact may be asking too much.

3. Filtering, say business vs personal.

I have seen the Add New Contact posts & do agree. Some one did mention about the alphabet thing on favorites. If you add Add New Contact to favorites the letters between names shows up. Unfortunatly the entire alphabet shows up where you have no favorites listed.

Great work on the app. It definetly is easier than the damn scroll bar.

When adding Add New Contact to favorites the alphabet grid does exist (you just don't see the abc in lower right coner).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
this is BY FAR the best contacts prog i know.. and thank you for it.. again i remind you, single clicks on the D-PAD up and down move thru contact pages but if you try to run the D-PAD continously it will stay on the same page.. it makes it hard for running the contact list fast for those who're not up to using it as a touch software.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TacoLoco:
cool the new version now runs on my axim x51V wm6.1!

only two little things.. it starts a bit slow but then it is operating very smooth! and the second question, should it run in fullscreen? on my device the start/taskbar is visible! would be great if you could fix that :D

hi

very simple en great software. thanks

i use "sms-chat" for sms, how is possible to link this application, on default sms program in Icontact

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
That really depends on wether or not you can "hook into" sms-chat. With the current implementation we start the tmail.exe program and pass it the parameters for sms and the number we want to send to.

If SMS-Chat has an API (and documentation) for this I'm sure it can be coded in.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KeithXP:
Send email

Just installed this great app on my shiny new O2 Orbit II, and love it.

Got a problem with sending emails though; choosing to send a contact an email just takes me to the messaging centre, it doesn't start an new message addressed to the contact. I searched the forum for a fix and found the stuff about fixing the settings.ini file:

[main]

;E-mail account name from pocket outlook

email_account=Outlook E-mail

I've tried

email_account=Activesync

email_account="Outlook E-mail"

But none works. Does anyone know how to fix this?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zote:
Why you dont publish source code on sourceforge, google code, codeplex or other. I think use some of those service will be better to community.

I am using push mail on HTC Touch, and it works using:

Really great apps, lean and great design
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
Like ilovechina posted; you may want to try spelling it ActiveSync. I just tested this on my phone and it is case sensitive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KeithXP:
Great - you fixed it for me. It seems it is completely case sensitive then, because

Activesync did not work, but following your post I tried ActiveSync and now it works fine.

settings.ini not regognized

hi folks,

i discovered that the settings.ini is not regognized if the file is on the StorageCard. Put the whole application into the Main-Memory and everything works fine. Translation and favotites will work.

+++ VPAFan +++
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
I set up iContact to close whenever you call, email, or sms a contact. I usually don't need to have it running once I'm done doing one of the above tasks. So here is the .exe file if anyone else wants the same functionality.

This also contains the enable "time of day" theme switcher.

So, the default is to switch between the 2 themes; to change that or to change the times the following code MUST be in your settings.ini

[theme_details]
; switch_theme 1=true 0=false
switch_theme=1
day_start=6
day_end=21

As you can see by the comment you set the switch_theme variable to 1 or 0. If you disable the theme switching you get the dark theme.

My brain isn't firing fully today so I hope this makes sense. If not I'll rewrite it.

thanks man.. that's actually a really good idea :)

I was wondering if anyone is actively developing this product. If no one was I was going to take the reins and add some new features, such as theme support, snapshots, address and catagories etc.

If you do, please try to keep it true to icontact and not be like pocketcm. Remember it's a contact application not the kitchen sink.

Does anyone have a version of icontact where the ABC button is in a different place? On my Tilt the button to show/hide the on screen keyboard is overlaying the ABC button.

is sim contact supported

is sim contact supported? the application is great but wat i js need is the support for sim contact as well. meaning to say i can dial my sim contact from icontact
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Linked25:
Absolutely. IMHO PocketCM was ruined the second he started integrating everything else with no option to remove it. I LOVE his contact app, but I feel the SMS is clunky,slow and not very usable on my devise.

I like that icontact is so simple (and fast), just would like a coupe small tweaks added to make it a little more usable. Things I would like to add off that bat is.

1. Address, notes, picture and category when pulling up a contact.

b. Remove headers from favorites page (option)

III. an option similiar to PCM that lets you slide down the sides to scroll to different letters (I love that about pcm, brilliant) (Option)

4. Full screen (Option)

now, with that said, I am a VB developer at heart so it's gonna take me a little to get my head around another language. So don't expect changes too too quickly.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trapped.somewhere:
Really nice move man, i like it.. can you please make it run in full screen, then add two softkeys.. the right one to exit and the left is options where you can call or sms any highlighted contact??? PLEASE :)

interesting...what color was iContact before, and what version are you using? The original or one of the theme hacked ones I put up? The "day" (white/gray) is about the same color as the keyboard you mentioned.

I don't remember, but I think I am running v0.6. The background was all black.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
Ok I installed it and iContact still behaves the way I have it set; changing the color scheme based on the time of day. THe original version of iContact posted at the start of this thread defaults to the black theme. If you installed either of the versions I have posted then you will see a white/gray theme in the day and the black one at night.

Check your settings.ini file for the following

[theme_details]
; switch_theme 1=true 0=false
switch_theme=1
day_start=6
day_end=21

If you see this than you will get the time based color themes, if you don't want this set the switch_theme=0.

If you don't have this then try adding it and see what happens, again set the switch_theme=0 and back to see what happens.

The default behavior I added is to switch the themes.

Hope this get to the root of the problem.
