Hi burt,

hope that you are changing your mind and continou to work on your great iContact version!

What about your web page?

truburt.net

I just got some strange characters

Yep, they've suspended my account for an unknown reason, despite that it's paid till November 2009 :( I've already sent a mail to the support, hope they'll fix everything soon.

And nope, I'm not going to continue iContact BE. BTW, you may try the Yota Contacts app from HTC MAX 4G device ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Pity, I like it far better than the other build.

As for Yota, too much fuss for nothing special... and way way too many minuses (I can't live with at least half of them).

Can't someone take over from truburt?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spupuz:
omg this is a big bad news :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
Bugger - well, burt, it was fun while it lasted and a great piece of software, well done & I hope you are proud of what you have accomplished.

I must (humbly) admit that I went and had a look at Phonex (www.iconsoft.com) and found it to be comparable to Burts edition with some very impressive speed improvements - btw, it isnt free, but is worth the money!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
I don't see how it is comparable.

Plus I don't like a replacement dialer, doing LESS than my stock one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mlk:
I find it comparable as it seeks to perform the same task - albeit from a slightly differing angle and once you try it for a couple of days it becomes second nature, much like iContact became.

The major benefit I found was that its speed was amazing, I have around 1k contacts and to bring up the Contacts list in iContact takes around 20-30 seconds, whereas Phonex is immediate. Also the one function I love in the dialer is the ability to touch "scroll" though the last contacts other numbers. This is a big plus as usually when I try to call a client on their landline only to find they are out of the office, it has always been a pain once the call ends to have to find them again and call the "other number".

Taking over development

I'm taking over development!

Or at least I'm going to try. MANY MANY MANY thanks to Burt for working on this app! I hope I can come at least close to filling his shoes.

See my XDA page here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=488059

See the codeplex page here: http://icontactae.codeplex.com/

Please give me some time to get the project organized. I don't have a lot of spare time. It may take a few weeks to get a beta release out. Also, please continue to seek support for iContact BE in THIS thread and not mine. Save my thread for my version when it's ready.

I consider my project to be a branch of BE (sort of how BE is a branch of iContact), not a "continuation" of BE (even though it will share the latest BE beta source code).

Not much difference as far users are concerned, but it will help keep things organized. :-)

Hello you guys...

I'm running iContact 6.4.5 BE on a WM6.1 and it runs 100%...

My issues now are:

- How can I remove one categorie? I can't find a way to delete it.

- Is it possible to create a shortcut to the old Contacts? If so, how??

How to UNmake this my default contacts app

I've seen lots of posts on making this the default contacts app, but how can I UNmake it my default? I don't want to uninstall - I just need to do this temporarily so I can access the WM default contacts app so I can change the stupid default area code from 425 to my actual area code. Help?

UPDATE: Nevermind. Figured it out. Created a link to WM original contacts app using

\windows\poutlook.exe contacts

Originally tried

\windows\poutlook.exe -contacts

(and similar variations using / and --) but this does not work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
Hi,

wonderful application! I use WAD to customise my phone, but the "contacts" aspects were fiddly/lacking.

This is *almost* perfect for me. I'm wondering if possibly, just possibly you could impliment a minor (?) change...? Or maybe someone can think of a workaround.

Basically, I have a few shortcuts which run icontact using the commandline. e.g

* opens favourites, showing the 'work' group

* opens favourites, showing 'family' group

etc.

Now my (only) problem is that, in certain instances, if icontacts been used to display one particular group of favourites BUT it hasn't been exited properly, when I run the shortcut to run icontact showing another group, it actually just opens up where it left off. i.e. it won't 'swap' favourites catagory.

I hope I'm clear.

Any ideas?

Thanks1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dody:
Where to get skins for this version ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chris5304:
I also use WAD. How do you get the command line arguments to work? I have a script which calls icontact.exe -openIn=2 and it refuses to run it. If I delete the -openIn=2 it runs icontact fine but obviously doesn't open it in missed calls which is what I want. I am running 7.0 beta of icontact and latest version of WAD.

Thanks for any help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
I've sussed it ;)

Forgive the graphics, it's a work in progress :D

I've included a few screenschots, but basically when I click on one of the contact catagories it runs a script which (a) uses vjtaskkiller to close any open instances of icontact then (b) runs icontact again, showing the appropriate favourite group.

Works perfectly, very happy with it. :)

"\Program Files\vijay555\VJTaskKiller\VJTaskKillerSilent.exe" icontact

"\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe" -favoritescat=friends -openin=1
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wlofea:
As for the missed call list, I just use WAD's built in [PHONE -> MISSED CALL LIST] option along with this dock (which appears when I hit the green phone icon at the bottom). Includes relevent notifiers so I can see what I've missed.

How can i adapt the default skin for a square screen?

I'd like to have the bottom icons for the full lenght of the screen, is it possible??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Actually, I do not plan to merge with 0.74. I would like to implement Pictures in a different way than supbro's did, I prefer current look of contact's details, and I do not like titlebar in 0.74 at all, since it is too hard to manage by fingers.

So, "burt edition v.6" won't be 0.74 be6, but will be "iContact Burt Edition 6" instead. I plan to implement many requested features there, pictures in the first place. Currently I'm on a vacation, far from my development workspace, so you could expect be6 closer to the end of July, when I'm back from vacation :)

I would like to hear your comments and requests till then, so we could make iContact even better. If you like to see any new feature in next release, please write me, I'll do my best to implement all the useful features :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Good to hear that... I think I like the burt edition better than supbro edition. Glad you're still working on this. Enjoy your vacation!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mcmike_cz:
Great

Thanks a lot...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Thank you very much Truburt, I agree with wearefree about iContact, I prefer the burt edition and would personally just prefer an exit button, the ability to use the ABC in Favs. and finally more possibility to at least see the contact address in details instead of having to go to WM Contact View.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
I use quickmenu so it assigns "OK" button to close any running apps (without conflicting the real OK function needed).

However, without quickmenu, I think if you choose "Exit on Minimize" then it should quick properly when you use "OK" button to minimize it.

I have also found that by clicking the phone icon the phone pad is brought up and icontact is closed after choosing "exit on minimize".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vigin:
great app, I'm addicted now :D

can't wait for the next version.

keep up the good work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Yeah I have iLauncher and it allows my OK button to close apps. instead of Minimizing (thats currently how I am working with iContact) but problem is my 6700 is getting on with time and the ok button needs to be pressed hard and for a bit to work and setting it to other buttons don't seem to work for me. Maybe one day I will sit down and try taking it apart (warranty is over anyways) and see if their is maybe a buildup and affecting it or just wear and tear.

Personally I don't use the phone icon in iContact at all and would love a way to have it removed from my display hit it a few times when trying to hit another icon and to close it I have to press the Red End key which closes/minimizes iContact.

Sorry for the long winded explanation.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] XTREEM|RAGE:
I have a small prob. with the new version: when i touch an contact it will go to the information of the contact, but some information is not displayed correctly in the screen. Well it some words just "fell" off the screen.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptfdmedic:
I noticed this also. In the call history words overlap also. But this is minor I guess but bugs me alittle....Great program though...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wearefree:
Yeah you reminded me how important my "OK" button is... almost too important to lose. i guess I'll use the touch screen more... but using the "OK" button is so nice.

One thing you may do is to assign another button (like button 3 or 4 or 5) to task manager, so you can pull up task manager easily and stop icontact from there.

The other thing is if you're comfortable touch with your finger nail, the entire title bar of icontact will minimize the app (or close if you select the minimize to close).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Zakkoholic:
First of all enjoy your well deserved vacation, truburt ! ;)

Second of all... keep up the excellent work on Burt Edition. This version of iContact is loads better than Supbro's version. I'm already looking forward to Edition 6 ! :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chihliouma:
Just one suggestionn when you cook version 6; is it possible to use the icons instead of text word for those items such as "mobile", "fax", home".etc when you choose anyone of the contacts ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Thanks, nice idea, though it may decrease performance. I guess I'll make it as an option so you can choose what you like.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lycox:
Sounds good. Maybe include these icons in the graphic file, so that the designers have the option to manipulate them to fit their needs.

the same for me ....

your version is also clearly to read (ex: in and outgoing icons, ok button,...)

my wish would be, that i can fully exchange pocketcm, but that i would vote for a "sms management" like in pocketcm, because so there i see who wrote me sms and the answers from me ....

is this hard to include this feature (sms contact manager) like in pocketcm ?

skin for idialer to match grzenio's icontact skin

I partially adapted the original idialer 0.5 skin file to better match grzenio's vga skin for icontact BE. I only changed the background colors and bottom bar icons. Perhaps someone likes this - so I put this in public...

this is a skin for idialer 0.5, not for icontact!

The skin file has to be manually changed on your pda: a how-to is included in the attached zip (readme.txt), I also included the original skin for restore.

hey burtcom,

in supbro's iContacts, when you click the Call button from the View Contact screen and it uses iDialer to actually dial out. It seems like the BurtEdition uses the phone's internal dialer to actually dial out. Is it possible to have it use the dialer you set up in iContactCfg to be used to actually dial the number, rather than having it only call the dialer when you hit the dialpad button? Does that make sense?

Also, I'm trying to change the skin and the problem I have is that in history screen, the time of calls is not displayed whole, it is too big to fit i.e. "2.45 pm" is seen as ".45 p" Is there a way to

A) change time format to normal 24 hrs so it displays 14:45 w/o am/pm

B) make the "field" for time wider

C) display am/pm in second line

D) reduce font of time (this could be easiest but it is already too small and I can't find in skn file which line controls it)

Hey truburt,

can you add a sim contact support for icontact? I m already suffering here with my HTC 3600 becoz everytime i need to use my stylus to find a contact. I really appreciate if you could do that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrpiggae:
That's where it gets tricky...it would make iContact bigger and more sluggish. The exact opposite of why so many of us love iContact now. It's small, lean and fast.

I've tried PocketCM many times and have always ended up getting rid of it. It simply tries to do too much, and that is it's greatest downfall.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Completely agree, please no SMS inclusion. Just tried the new PocketCM and removed it after 10mins. No way I am changing from iContact.

is there a way to use Icontact on the XDA Diamond?

-it needs a VGA skin.... is there such a skin?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
is there a way to search by letter typing.. or just by scrolling up and down?... i like on the default dialer on the HTC TOUCH... u can type in letters for a name or company and it pulls up the contact.. i think they call that smart dialing.. but the only issue is that u cannot open contact to retrieve information

is it also possible to open a contact and sms there number or address ... to another person ...

incase someone needs a number or address?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Smart - dialing, not yet but you can use the keyboard (right icon) to bring you to the letter (i.e. J, then scroll through the contacts under J).

SMS yes, open the contact to the details screen and to the right of the Mobile # u will see SMS just tap that and it will open to a new SMS but u will have to type the info out yourself.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iTouch24:
dam i struck out on both of my requests... lol

how does the icontact search... ? can u customize it

lets say i know the guys name is mike ... dont remember his last name...

but his last name is programed in my contact... when u hit M ... does it bring up all the first, last , company names emails ... with a leading M ?

and the sms issue ....

if i go to mikes name and hit sms it will open up a window to sms him.. but i stil have to type in the number or address that he is looking for ..... blaaa

the palmOS def needs an operating system update but boy that operating system had a program to do whatever u needed .. takephone was my fav contacts program for palm

Feature Request

I don't want to see sms threading included. I think it is whats causing the memory hoggin in PocketCM.

I would like to see the configuator have an option to change the width for the letter jumping along right side. Right now I have to use my fingernail to get it to pop up. About 40 pixels works good for me.

Picture support for both the general scroll list and contact selection would be great. It would be good if the picture size and therefore the row heights were customizable to allow for large pictures or small pictures based on the user preference.

The category view scrolling is much much slower then general scrolling in contacts.

Where would I go about picking up a white(iphone) based skin for this version. I can't use the dark.
