If you bother to read just two pages prior to your question you'll see people have discussed this problem extensively and came up with a solution.

Excellent help on the color changing. The link for the color reference was a HUGE help. It was tough to see contacts in bright light with the dark background.

The only difference between this and the regular one is that, this one will not replace the default contact app.

@supbro :

1. No need for a translation on the Categories field. Mine actually does NOT work if I translate it, need to keep the English one

2. Why don't you move the Favorites translation to the language file? Will make it easy to install new versions without messing our settings

is there a way to change the animation effect for details screen back to the orginial in the settings? I liked the old way better.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mod'Em:
This application is phenomenal, thank you for your continued development. I however am managing to crash it regularly for some reason. I have a lot of contacts (hundreds), not sure if that is a factor.

When I'm scrolling through the full contact list sometimes and move my finger to "catch" it and stop the scrolling, an item is highlighted in blue but not opened, and it locks up the program until I restart it.

Any tips?

Currently running shogunmark's DeathV4 ROM on an AT&T Tilt.

Cheers,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Well, 0.73 "burt edition" is ready. Changes:

- Included multilingual keyboard support made by kab earlier in this thread

- Newly added contact now appears in the list

- You can delete contacts (see EnableDetailsMenu)

- Faster scroll response time

- You can scroll contact details

- KbdShowTime and KbdHideTime settings in settings.ini

Defaults to 200 and 100 accordingly.

Specifies duration of keyboard pop-up and hide animation. Set it to 0 to disable keyboard animation.

- ShowMenuInDetails setting

Defaults to 1.

When 1, bottom menu bar will be shown in Contact Details mode, as usual. When 0, bottom menu bar will not be visible in Contact Details mode. IMHO, menu bar is not really useful in Details mode.

- EnableMouseGestures and MouseGesturesMaxTime settings

Defaults to 1 and 800 accordingly.

When EnableMouseGestures is 1, mouse and stylus gestures are enabled. It means that you can move your finger across the screen from one side to other to do some action. Currently, there are only two gestures supported:

1. Move finger horizontally from the right side of the screen to the left side in Contact Details mode, that will close Details and return you to contacts list. Same as 'Back' button at top left.

2. Move finger from right to left in Keyboard mode, this should close the keyboard.

Currently, length of a 'line' that you do with a finger should be at least 40% of screen width, to avoid false gestures.

MouseGesturesMaxTime is a max time of a single gesture, if you push the screen for more than that time, gesture is ignored. Feel free to tune it to your preferences. If you find that you dial a number instead of going back by a gesture, try to set MouseGesturesMaxTime to, e.g., 1300 ms. Or try to move your finger faster

- EnableScrollAcceleration - repeat the scroll while scrolling to get scrolling faster :)

- EnableDetailsMenu - if 1, enables a new menu in Contact Details. NOT bottom one. Click a down arrow at the top-right of the screen to display the menu. It will contain View, Edit, Delete and Favorite items with appropriate actions. Delete will require confirmation.

- ScrollThresh setting in settings.ini

Defaults to 3.

Min mouse move by Y to initiate scroll, in pixels.

I've noticed that it is difficult to click a contact by finger sometimes, it often scrolls rather than clicks. Increase this parameter and you will get easier finger control. I've set it to 8 at my settings.ini.

- ScrollBounceTime - duration of 'bounce' animation when scrolling off the screen.

- ScrollSearchTime - duration of scrolling to selected letter.

- Some redraws have been removed to improve graphics speed.

Cheers!

UPD: "burt edition" v.2: bugfixes, Call History now supports collapsing of repeated items (CollapseRepeatsInHistory setting). Call History now also supports gestures 'left to right' and 'right to left' to switch between All - Incoming - Outgoing - Missed calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
All in all the burt edition has many great improvements, the best is to hide the menu in details, show details menu, and scroll acceleration.

However, there still a few bugs, carried from the original version:

1) ExitOnAction works as intended, but if I enable this and click on the blank area of the contact details, icontact quits instead of bring me back to the contact list.

2) The first letter and last letter are not shown when doing the vertical scrolling, but that's really minor because the areas are still reachable

3) Could you implement the 12 hr format?

The new bug:

The menu bar doesn't show the correct section till an item is selected then returned. If I switch from contacts to history on the menu bar, still contacts button is highlighted. Then I choose any call in the history, and return to the history section, the history button on menu bar is highlighted.

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] EnsconcE:
The burt edition has indeed got many improvements. But i have encountered some bugs. First of all, in landscape mode, the right side is not always displayed correctly. Variating in width, a bar in the color of the background is displayed over the icons. The icons are accessible by tapping, but the are partly or completely not displayed. And sometimes the contact details left side is displayed at the right when you return to the main screen.

It also sometimes happens when i scroll the list, a contact get selected and opened. Maybe the tapping is too sensitive?

Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
I haven't been keeping up with all of these updates from others on here (i.e. burt, and others). I just downloaded burts version and haven't installed yet.

But has anyone come up with a way to show the contact picture, both in list view and in detail view??? Kind of like how pocketCM display's a picture on the right in list view and a bigger picture on the top left in detail view. This would complete this program!!!

how to add/edit contacts in iContacts?

Does anyone known how I can change/add/edit contacts in my contacts list with iContacts 0.73?

Reason for asking is that the app i downloaded, automatically links all"contacts" buttons to iContacts. This means I can no longer edit/add/change my contacts on my phone. How can I overcome this?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
#1 and #3 are fixed in iContact 0.74 already. I don't understand what you mean by #2... I can scroll to the first letter and the last letter when I try it... ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can edit and add contacts already. To add a contact... touch "add new contact" in list view. To edit a contact, in details view, touch the contact name again. Delete is coming with v0.74. Or if you don't want to wait, it appears that "Burt Edition" already has a delete capability.

Contact pictures are also coming with v0.74, as promised.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Okay, I like the BE-Edition, but I've noticed a bug. When pressing Favourites-Icon, Favs came up but the bottom graphic don't change until I open a contact a go back. Same when switching from Favs to contact list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, that's a bug, already fixed, need to get home to build :)

Anxious to see 0.74, changes seem quite nice.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
I'm asking myself, why supbro and truburt don't put their brains together to develop only one version :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Supbro's version is the main. I'm coding quite occasionally, do changes for myself only and am not ready to do regular development. I've been popping up recently just because I've installed original iContact 0.71 a week ago and liked it a lot. Just wanted some improvements to get more comfort.

Still, my changes are available to anyone, and I hope that the best ideas will find their place in supbro's version. It depends also on your appreciation :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nihil0:
In the v0.73be version, if I select the first contact in the favorites tab, not the appropriate phone number appears, but the normal contacts list tab will be started. The second contact in the favorites tab works normal, and after touching it, the call number will be shown.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Okay, but I found another bug in your edition. When selecting favs/calls the first of the contacts aren't selectable.

One suggestion: Would be nice if the details menu available too, when open contact from favs/calls.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
0.73 "burt edition" v.2:

- bugfixes (bottom menu selection, first item selection, etc)

- Call History now supports collapsing of repeated items (CollapseRepeatsInHistory setting)

- Call History now also supports gestures 'left to right' and 'right to left' to switch between All - Incoming - Outgoing - Missed calls. Just try it :)

My previous post is updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Original #2:

2) The first letter and last letter are not shown when doing the vertical scrolling, but that's really minor because the areas are still reachable

Well, I have contacts starts with number 4, then 5, then letters but not everyone in the alphabet and last letter is Z. When I do the vertical scrolling, I can move my finger to the very top and contacts start with 4 will show up, but the index on the center top of the screen will only end in number 5. If I scroll my finger on the right to the very bottom, only letter Y shows up in the top center even though all contacts with Z still show up. Like I said it's really minor, if you can't find where this bug is then forget it.

Wow, 0.74 is coming with contact pictures! How nice...Anxiously waiting...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Excellent burt, first item selection and bottom menu navagation fixed.

Love the call history addition. - all working fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildSioux:
To subpro and burt. Good job on these updates. I also wonder why there isnt one central program for the two changes that you are making.

Another thing I wonder if could be made possible is to make the edit mode icontact internal instead of going to WM? Pointui 1.5a version had this capability with its internal contacts and was really nice.

I look forward to .74 with contacts pictures!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
Thx subpro and burt! Good job! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] delaner:
Supbro! Thanks man, 0.73 is ridic. Haven't tried yours yet, Burt.

I noticed a couple of things while I'm playing around with this.. didn't want to say anything until I cut down my contacts a bit. Done that now, so that doesn't have anything to do with it...

Sometimes I have to "chase" a contact...? Anybody else notice this? Might just be that might touchflo sensitivity is too high, but sometimes I have to tap a few times to get a contact to come up and they fly up and down the screen in the process... I can usually get it, eventually, but it's weird how some come on the first tap and others don't...

When I click an e-mail address, takes me to messaging, not to a new e-mail. Is that something in my settings? I don't think it is; can't find it if it is.

AWESOME app though, man... thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
We have different ideas as to what's perfect. I would opt for fewer customizations and truburt would opt for more choices. So it'd be difficult to agree on what to do with it. It's no big deal though; thanks, truburt, for making your updates public! Most of his updates from v0.72be I've added to 0.74: faster response for lower MHz devices, removal of the bottom menu from details screen. So, in a way we are working together :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
oic, the list indicator, ok, got it. thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Its Great.

Would just like to say thanks to everyone that puts in the time to develop and provide feedback, this is great, just updated from 0.6 to 7.3.

Not sure If I have missed some thing, but how do you delete a contact, In 0.6 you could get the details (from the original windows contacts) and select delete but with 7.3 once you select a contact there's no delete in the menu?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] [kab]:
well. truburt offer some changes, which i did not use too (like geistures), but this can be usefull for someone else!

and moreover, all changes, like CollapseRepeatsInHistory are:

- optional (disabled by default).

- not affect to program speed (because there only one IF inside code and all this code is skipped and not executed).

so, i still missing why you ingore them (this changes did not have bugs and did not change you original program behaviour by default).

ps. in call history, if contact string is too long - it's overlap time of call. please, strip contact string just before time of call. thanks!

Quick update of 0.73 "burt edition", now ed.3:

+ Details menu now is available for Favorites too

+ Call History type (all, missed, incoming, outgoing) now can be switched not only by right-left and left-right gestures, but also by clicking on the Call History button in bottom menu while in Call History.

+ minor bugfixes (such as string updates, etc)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Deletion is supported in my edition through Contact Details -> down arrow at right-top corner -> Delete button. Available when EnableDetailsMenu option is 1.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uiskibum:
I am going to go out on a limb and assume by icon you mean "softkey". Well it requires a registry change to get iContact to open when you hit the soft key. If you tell me if Contacts is on your left or right softkey I'll give you the step by step. But this does require you to get a registry editor on your phone.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Good work! Nearly perfect if we can choose 12 hr format :)

Well, the vertical scroll shows the first letter correctly but "Z" is still not shown even contacts with Z showed up. No big deal though.

Kudos on the categorized call history. If possible I prefer a little icon or indication that the call is outgoing or incoming directly on the call history.

Couple of things:

1) When switch to outgoing/incoming/missed in call history and doing vertical scrolling, the fonts are too big; words like today:outgoing are cut off both at the front and at the end.

2) (Not a bug) When CollapseRepeatsInHistory, only calls with same length of the same contact are collapse, not all calls to the same contact are collapsed. It's not a bug, it's just different than what I was expecting :) Sometimes when I have say more than 6 collapsed into one, the details section didn't have enough to display all the call times though.

Keep up the good work!

In one of my contacts there's a 'car phone' (I'm not sure the correct text in WM in English) and it's not shown in details.

I also tested some others that are not shown:

- Company phone

- Radiotel (I don't know if I'll use it someday, but...)

- Assist. phone (I think is for the assistent phone)

- Fax Numbers

I wish that categories and Nickname could be shown on details.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
I already know that :)

You would have to look at the attachment there you can find should "German 4 iContact0.73 (BurtsEdition 3.1 compatible).cab". Do not unpack it, just copy it to your device and start it via filemanager. Now it should install. So, no seperate lng.file needed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Do the list scrolls when you move your finger over the right side of the screen? There is a bug in original 0.73 where preceding letter has appeared while scrolling. E.g. when you actually scroll to P letter, preceding O letter appears at the top. This will be fixed in 0.74, and is already fixed in "burt edition v3.1" which you can find earlier in this thread.
