Tried the 0.7 - the first iContact experience for me and yes - ABC grid or ABC.. on the right side is really missed. For now I returned to HTC Random Access.

Hope to see alphabet selection back in some future release, because other than that, it's great and really fast on my TyTN II with WM6.1.

Hi people,

Doug asked permission to use the name iContact in his release and i allowed him of course. I won't be releasing new versions anymore as i don't have ppc device anymore (i'm using iphone now).

As from screenshots, i think iContact looks better than ever (great work Doug) and i'm sure Doug will reimplement "ABC grid" feature, couse there are so many requests for that.

I would actually suggest setting up a SVN repository on ProjectLocker so more people could contribute to it.

I´m back to 0.5, i really like the 2 features in this version

1. tab on unused space to go back

2. ABC pad

The first one is really comfortable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eniway:
I agree that it needs a button to exit the app but not automatically close it. What if you want to send another sms to a different person? Maybe an option perhaps whether you want to have the app automatically close after a call or sms.

I agree 100%
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fgth90:
+1

I'm back to 0.6 for ABC pad, add contacts and option favorites.

It would be better with the option "tap on unused space to go back" because it's easy when you're in free hands in your car to navigate in the menus.

Hope god will hear us. Nice work on design of version 0.7, keep efforts, it's marvelous.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
the scrolling and kinetic response of 0.7 is better than 0.6. also, the response to a click.. is much smoother. when you clicked a contact in 0.6 it would have had to be a percise click or it would just center the list.. now when you click anywhere on the contact it would open the screen. thats a VERY VERY important upgrade due to comfortability issues.

again i implore you, besides than adding the ABC grid, to add the options to close iContact after placing a call, and having an option to change the theme according to the time of day. those 2 options might just be the reasons, for me, to switch from 0.6 to 0.7 indefinately.

thank you. GREAT work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rwertz14:
Lets give Doug some time to get the ABC grid implemented back into the program. This was his first releasse and it looks great. This is the direction I was hoping this program would go once someone took it on. And I personally think he is doing an awesome job with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharper4:
Very nice application. Like others, I've noticed that if I'm scrolling through a lot of names that it will sometimes accidentally "click" on the name instead of continuing to scroll. I think its just a learning curve for me though since I have found that as long as my finger moves a further distance (as opposed to a quick flick) that it recognized I meant to scroll instead of select. I love the ABC button.

This "settings.ini" is a great way to customize the app. I just switched "Favorites" to "Family" and it auto-uses that category to pull up family members. Very cool!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amad99:
Hey very nice app....

I've been using this since it has been in its early stages of development, and it's very easy to use.

I was wondering if it is possible in the next update to add the address of the person in the details section? I know you can press show summary but it would be much nicer if it was inside the app...

Thanks in advance, even though i might not have much say......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] met67:
Well, I would kill for contact list caching :-)

Thanks for this great app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'm planning on doing that next, after the settings editor. It's my #1 desire, actually; but I thought people might have more fun with a settings editor.

Hi

Im using this wonderful addon on my Samsung SGH I780. Everything works, except under all contacts there are listed only those who have msn email entered.

Any idea .. did i missed settings somewhere?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] met67:
So I'll have to wait, you are the boss :-)

Speaking of wishes, I would like (if possible) an option to turn off the screen after starting a phone call: I use this option in S2U2 for incoming calls and is great (this way I avoid starting stuff with my ear and, moreover, my Artemis screen has a fastidious buzz...).

Also more color settings in skin file would be useful (i.e. separating the background color of selected entries from the background of the detail screen).

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] keko001:
it is very nicely put together not does it not sensitive enough,especially if you tap the name scrolling works fine.it is also possible to see and photograph in addition to possibly having a small number

difficult to select contact

Dear supbro,

Thanks very much for your great app. I've been using 0.76 in my HTC diamond for over two weeks without major issues. The only thing I experience is the selection of a particular contact entry after I scroll to the correct page. I ususally need to tap several times before the entry is selected. Please advise any setting I need to take to improve the situation.

UPDATE : OFFICIAL LAUNCH THREAD​

iPhloki Theme for iContact 0.76 (supbro version)

Here's the default PNG modified, I'll post my settings.ini too if you can't tweak your own.

Thanks to supbro for his rad fork of the original source. (make an iLauncher too dammit :D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Nice, clean skin! BTW, all QVGA skins will work with VGA too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snachez:
Cheers man. One last niggling issue I have is the font appears to double-up when using the d-pad to scroll through the list, like so:

(see below) kinda fixed to

Is this some font setting I'm missing or a known bug ? Any help would be appreciated.

Edit : I can 'fake' transparency by setting ListItemSelectedShadow the same colour as the mid-gradient value of ListItemSelectedBackground1&2 , but would still like to know if there's any font settings to disable shadows etc in your version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlimDan22:
Just wanted to say that i reallly love the work you have been doing with icontact since larna stopped working on it

i have been noticing there are alot of other versions of icontact, which is goood but can be confusing sometimes

maybe you should rename yours to iContact "The Original" or somethingg lol

just a suggesstion :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
It's not a known bug, it's a feature. This creates a shadow effect on the selected item. But it does look funny when the shadow color and text shadow are the same as in your example. I can check if you leave out the ListItemSelectedShadow item from the skin, and if so, not display it. That should be easy, I'll add that to the next version.

-Doug
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snachez:
Thanks heaps. Its nothing major, practically the single one & only issue I have with the entire app. Thanks for looking into next version ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Trident:
I just found something called iContact 1.02.

Is this a beta or something to do with this app?

It's in the PPCGeeks ROM kitchen, right below v0.71.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SlimDan22:
No its not a beta its just a different version of icontact by a different person

i wish they would have renamed it something different though, its very misleading
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hamansan:
I like this program. So user friendly and easy to use. Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spookydownunder:
Hi there, using iContact and love it, way more user friendly than original contacts list.

One question. Is there a way to tell phone to start iContact in background whenever phone starts up, and or to always have it running in the background? Either from scratch or a soft reset, as this would reduce time to open it that first time. Which is about the only gripe at moment. Not that it's exactly a big gripe :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snachez:
You can place a shortcut in the \windows\startup\ folder.

How long does it take for you to launch ? It's under half a second on a kasier..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nagrom Nniuq:
I am having the same issue a few other people mentioned. That is that after using this app the biotouch cube on my HTC Touch stops working until I soft reset. At least 3 other people have mentioned this but I haven't seen a fix mentioned. Any ideas anyone?

Also, this didn't happen on WinMo 6.0, only now that 6.1 is out. So it is something that changed in the 6.1 update that made PCM, iContact, etc make the cube stop working.

If there's anything I can do to help fix this, let me know.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gondagol:
Great Work !

Can you please add Exit feature in this program ? It's hard to get out of the program and once we get out, it runs in the background and eats up the memory ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stains2k:
Plz, update for Korean, as well

It is enclosed for Korean.

No korean, here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can update the ExitOnMinimize setting in settings.ini. Then to minimize (or exit), you simply touch the titlebar. The next version will have a settings editor to make it easier to configure these settings without having to edit any files.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I think this must be for a different version of iContact. Your file includes several keys that shouldn't be there such as: "detailsdelwarningt", "detailsdelwarning", "outgoinghdr", "missedhdr", "incominghdr", "favremovewarningt", "favremovewarning", or "back". Also, yours is missing some that should be there, such as "mobile", "home", "work", "company", "car", etc.

I would like to add the korean language though, please use the template found on my website:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I'm working on caching the lists so startup should be much faster. That'll be in the next, next version, after the settings editor. You could speed it up now by deleting the contacts you never call :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spookydownunder:
Cheers, I'll give that a go. I guess I just make shortcut to iContact.exe and that's as simple as.

Only second or so, I just have a lot of contacts because I sync with Outlook that has work numbers (old and new) and multiple numbers/emails for everyone. But if already started then hopefully speed that up.

Looking forward to the new cached version. Keep up the good work, and thanks.

Cheers.

***Edit****

Snachez, just tried putting in start up, and works great....up to a point. Now it starts up when phone does, but stays open on screen, so that once started you are looking at contacts and not home screen. Is there any way to change the settings so that it starts minimised?

Cheers, Steve

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deCorvett:
Hi,

Firstly, Great job!!!!

Just wanna tell you some improvements you could do for VGA devices.

The first one, skins look very pixelated on VGA devices. It will be better if icontact admits 480x240 png files, instead of 240x120.

Second one, I find contact details touch areas too small. It's difficult for me to tap the contact's phone (i.e.) with my fingers.

Finally, Is there any way to translate "favorites" title? It doesn't appear on the language's file.

By the way... great job!!!

Thank you!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deCorvett:
Forgetn the last about "Favorites". I saw how to change it.

Just to mention that playing with skins, ther is not a way to customize favorites in general contact list. They always appears yellow colorized, and with white background (i.e.) turns them unreadable.

Another thing I find a little annoying, is that contact details page isn't fully customizable in colours.

And about text sizes, it would be great when text is bigger than its container that the application would select a smaller font size.

Just a few suggestions...:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Yes there is, in the default skin it's "ListItemFavoriteText=ffff00"

Which color isn't customizable?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Coudy:
Vcard

Hi,

how to send contacts as vCard trought BT, IrDA os SMS ?

My Dear Friend Laurent,

My Sincerest Gratitude,

Snachez
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Autourdupc:
Thank you very much for your prompt request...

When I saw the quantity of post in this thread, I tought it was simple to ask than to read !

I did not understood it was only an "nterface". So it's good for me and I will try it.

Best regards,

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] t0k0m0k0:
it works with non phone devices

just a quick message for non pda-phone users, they can use this program just by adding the missing dlls in the icontact folder (PHONE.dll and sms.dll at least)...

it works for me ;)

yet it would be perfect if last call button could be removed for us (non phone users), and with all contact fields displayed in details (not only phone and email)...

and this real contact manager could replace the ugly wm default contact manager... :D

(i know the response for pocketCM development... i just hope that another similar CM will be usable...)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] covflyer:
This is a great application. Thank you.

Unfortunately, i don't understand how to change the skin. I download a new one, find it in file explorer - my device, click on it but it just comes up as a picture in picture viewer. Where am I going wrong?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
In the "Settings.ini", you need to change the name of the skin to whatever you skin is called (eg, "default" gives you the default skin, WM7 gives you the skin called WM7 if it's present.). You need to copy the skin (ini and image) into the iContact folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] covflyer:
Forgive me, I'm a newbie. How do I go into settings.ini?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] snachez:
You can copy the file using activesync to you computer, edit and save, then copy back.

The file is found on your device in /program files/iContact/settings.ini
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatnai:
Would love to see this too, so I can quickly see if I have a physical address without clicking show summary.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] covflyer:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] covflyer:

You need to copy it to your PC, and then edit it and copy it back.

I wish u can type a name in because i have over 1,000 contacts. also it would be nice to also have the text messaging option in it with the thread. kinda like pocketcm or cmpocket.25
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ijordans1:
i wish that you can type in the i contact like other icontact type programs. its just quicker to get to a name like i have over 1500 numbers in my phone and it makes it easier to get to the number.

also

do you have a program that can thread sms messaging? I have a t mobile wing. also can you have it where you can delete contacts and things of that nature like pocketcm.25
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] l3v5y:
This is not supposed to be PocketCM. If you like PocketCMs features, use it rather than this.

Unless supbro changes his mind, this is purely a contacts application, and not an SMS/whatever else application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mouzak:
THANKS, very good program, it's make my wizard very easy on phone mode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
You can delete contacts and things of that nature by clicking "show summary" from the contact's detail screen in iContact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Vulpix:
Umm, any reason why after visiting your icontact website, it just says 0.8 coming soon? No download links whatsoever...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Agamemmnon:
In ApptoDate was a Update to version 0.799, but if i make the Update it was stil the old one version 0.76???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
Well, version 0.8 is coming out soon. It's just not as easy as flipping a switch.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
New Version, 0.8! With Settings Editor

I'd like to announce a new version, 0.8. The best new feature is the Settings Editor, with the same look and feel as iContact itself.

Also included, an iPhone lookalike skin!

The skin file has been altered a little bit, with 4 pixels added to the bottom, for canvas background. Also, the battery section has been modified. For the skinners, please start with the new skin from v0.8.

For those having trouble with changing your skin, or other settings, now it should be super simple!

The next version will have list caching, to speed up the loading of the different lists.

Enjoy!

It looks like you're using a skin that was written for an older version of iContact, 0.74 I believe. You can ask the author to update the skin for v0.8.

In the latest versions of icontact, after you make a phone call (or sms, etc), when you return to icontact. It returns to the "Details" page of a contact - which is exactly where you left it-

Is there a way to have it return to the "all contacts" or "favorites" view instead?

This would avoid an extra operation to get back to the contact list...

The older versions of icontact did this....

Sorry if this was asked already, but I couldnt find it in the 100+ pages...

Yes, I am having this bug with iContact v0.8. If I load the HTC cube and access the contact list, iContact would load. Once you exit iContact, HTC Cube will still be accessible but once you exit this instance of HTC Cube and then reload HTC Cube, it would freeze. All background process seems to be working but just the HTC Cube interface is locked up.

Could it be because of HTC Cube's setting contact mapping? Will there be a fix for this?

How to remove again?

I gave iContact 0.8 a shot and I like it very much. But it's not really suitable to use on my Dash as my Dash (HTC S620) is a non-touch device.

So I tried to remove it from my SmartPhone by using Settings - Remove Programs without any luck.

Is there any way to remove iContact so I can use my orginal WM 6.1 contacts app again?

Take care,

Is it possible to change favorite text color (red text color) in all contact list even black not red, like in the version 0.7x.

Thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Great work!

However I have (small) issues using it on my Touch Pro... Some of those may have been asked before but it is hard to follow a 106 page thread (even with search).

1) Looks like QVGA right? Moving to support VGA any time soon? (is it a matter of skin?)

2) Will it be able to have more than 30 letters to use for search? Some people have many contacts in latin (English) alphabet and in local (my case, Greek) alphabet.

3) *** IMPORTANT *** Is it possible to make it work through TF3D (when someone clicks to see all contacts)???

4) Where is the close/minimize button? I can close the program clicking on the battery icon (top right) but this is counter intuitive.

5) ...in fact it would be very preferable to just keep the original WM top bar (esp. for VGA devices) - pleeeease?

6) Is there anything missing that is in the original WM contacts app? (esp. for Diamond and Touch Pro)

Thank you! Keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jakub_w:
i've searched the whole thread, how do you add/remove a favourite??

also, found a bug in the settings of 0.8

-when selecting which favorite category to view, between favorite and throttlephotodial, once throttlephotodial is selected, there is no option to switch it back to "favorite" mode
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bootheresa:
Just open the contact you want to make a favorite and touch the star in the upper right hand corner. It will turn yellow it is now a favorite. BOO
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
The categories displayed are only ones in which you have at least one contact in that category. So if you have no contacts in the "Favorites" category, it won't show up in the list. This is a limitation of the Windows Mobile API.
