PPC BUILD 1.0.520; Smartphone 1.0.511

THis build has a new added feature - for those that want vibration but your device would not vibrate (due to OEM code), you can now select the proper code until your device vibrates - (see FAQ/Help Tutorial for details).

Also added is some safety checks for proper unicode culture support - IMSMS is culture specific - if your device does not provide the proper culture information, IMSMS will exit with a message.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

PPC/Smartphone BUILD 1.0.530

THis build has a new added feature - for those that want vibration but your device would not vibrate (due to OEM code), you can now select the proper code until your device vibrates - (see FAQ/Help Tutorial for details).

Added "refresh log display" - those who have custom skins can now see your updated skin instantly - no need to send/receive messages in order to view your skin template modifications. (See MENU->CHAT LOGS->REFRESH LOG DISPLAY)

Also added is some safety checks for proper unicode culture support - IMSMS is culture specific - if your device does not provide the proper culture information, IMSMS will exit with a message.

Thanks and Happy Holidays,

[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
thanks :) I just added yet another feature - to aid in those who want to see their chat log modifications update instantly.
[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
That's key! You mean when I edit colors and format, it will change right away so I don't have to wait to get a text from each individual log?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
YES - this was long overdue - I didn't get a chance to get to it - because I was dealing with IME issues- but I just went ahead and added it in. It's been tested and working fine -

Give it a try. This should help those who modify custom skin templates AND for switching between MINIMAL/STANDARD chat log format views AND any color changes in the COLOR OPTIONS menu.

I will be adding more "built in" templates - and will supply a few more internal codes for custom skinning.

I'm off on a short break -but will linger around - send me emails anytime.

Thanks,

DSO

PS - to get this to work, it's real easy. See help tutorial under SKINNING GUIDE or:

SElect it from the (MENU->CHAT LOGS->REFRESH LOG DISPLAY). It will reload the chat log of the friend you have selected in the friends list box. Be sure to have at least one friend added to your friends list and at least one friend with a chat log (obviously required).

is there anyway to make it that when the phones profile is set to vibrate the msg's will only vibrate and not make a sound and when the phone is set to normal profile the mssgs will make a sound?

also i have noticed that the mssgs from when i have no service never make it to my phone when i do have service. like if a message was sent while i dont have service and 5 minutes later i have service it just like deletes the message that was sent and it never makes it to my cell phone...is there any fix for that?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
HI,

Please review the FAQ online to answer your question regarding profiles. IN short, IMSMS is independant of your profile settings - the benefits outweigh the convenience of tying into your system profiles - the FAQ explains it all.

IMSMS is designed to be an instant messenger - although I have explained in the previous posts, IMSMS' core engine is capable of queuing the messages and can schedule send too. If you are not in service, the message will not send - you will not see it in your chat log - when you regain service, you can simply select the "resend last typed message" from the ACTION menu.

From a design standpoint, there's no real reason to queue your messages either - although technically messages are sent as fast as you can type each message out. Flood protection has been turned off since the early 1.0 builds.

Hope this helps answer some of your questions. Thanks for your support,

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
HI,

A small new convenience feature was added to Build 1.0.545 - it is for those who wish to call the contact directly from IMSMS - you can now select the friend from your friends list box -> and choose CALL FRIEND - it will dial the contact number for that friend you selected.

Thanks,

I installed this program on both my wife's Dash and my Wing. Works fine on my phone but not so good on the wife's Dash. IMSMS won't pick up any incoming text messages. I'm pretty sure about the cause of the problem so I won't go into all of that. My problem is getting my wife's phone to install Total Commander so I can edit the registry. Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
HI,

There is a free program that you can use: it's called MOBILE REGISTRY EDITOR - I'm pretty sure if you search on XDA forum, you will find it. I'll throw in the attachment here for you as well if you can't find it: (RUn it from your desktop computer with your TMOBILE DASH connected via activesync first)

Build 1.0.600 (PPC) and smartphone edition will come real soon.

What's new in 1.0.600:

* Fixed notification icons (courtesy of Mr. B.Smith)

* (1.0.600): Vibration + Sounds together

* (1.0.600): Auto set away (auto away timer) - see release notes

* (1.0.600): Internal threading optimizations - transparent to users

* See release notes for more info.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Yes, PPC version 1.0.600 has the function now - smartphone is too follow suit shortly.

Verify MD5:

You may want to google "MD5 programs" that will allow you to download and use free MD5 verification - the .cab files and the .zip files I have are authentic from my home site - only download the builds from the home site and double check the MD5 hash value. This will ensure you have the correct file/.cab and not some other hacked file.

To answer your question, think of it as a computational digital signature - you can put anything (files, text, whatever you want) thru a computational algorithm that computes a value for you - this value can only be computed ONE WAY - that is it cannot be "reversed" - therefore, it is used as a digital signature - you simply take the MD5 value (one I posted) and compare it to the file you downloaded; you use an MD5 program, open the file you just downloaded, and get the value the MD5 program created - it should match the value I have written on the web site - the MD5 value should be identical - which means it is authentic.

Hope this helps you out.

[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
Ahhh. I use a Smartphone. When's the update for that?
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Attention All IMSMS users:

Please download BUILD 1.0.700

IMSMS NO LONGER USES PocketIE as the display. Versions 1.0.700 uses a custom display component that REDUCES your memory usage significantly compared to previous builds with pocketIE! You no longer have to worry about IMSMS' display component (pocketIE) eating up your valuable memory! It's not a memory leak however - your memory gets released when IMSMS exits but previous versions that included pocketIE will not do so unless you shutdown IMSMS - which was beyond my control.

Use 1.0.700!

What's included (See release notes - quite a bit of new items):

*** MEMORY PERFORMANCE UPDATE *** (Version 1.0.700)

Custom IMSMS Display component - finally removed PocketIE functionality - IMSMS does not rely on PocketIE to display the chat logs. The memory leaks within PocketIE are GONE!

Added Sound & Vibrate option - select from MENU->SETTINGS->PREFERENCES menu option. You will see a check box to VIBRATE + Sounds. When you have "Enable incoming/outgoing/missed messages" sounds playback enabled, vibration will also be played at the same time.

Added shortcut in menu - To switch between text entry box and chat log display (so you can scroll your text messages), simply select ACTION then the number '5' or select from the menu: ACTION->Text Entry/Message Log Mode - it will switch between the text entry box and the message display (so you can scroll) automatically

Fixed Dynamic Alerts icon issue - on occasion, when receiving incoming messages, the incoming message icon will overwrite the dynamic alert nofication envelope (orange/green/red) icons.

(Version 1.0.600) (PPC): Added AUTO AWAY TIME - Select from the ACTION->MANAGE->AWAY->EDIT AWAY MESSAGES menu option. There is a new feature "Auto Set Away (Minutes)" that allows you to set a time (in minutes) of when IMSMS will automatically set itself away - and respond with a default away message you choose. AUTO AWAY STARTS the timer the moment when you STOP texting when enabled.

(Version 1.0.600) (PPC): Added Sound & Vibrate option - select from MENU->SETTINGS->PREFERENCES menu option. You will see a check box to VIBRATE + Sounds. When you have "Enable incoming/outgoing/missed messages" sounds playback enabled, vibration will also be played at the same time.

(Version 1.0.600) (PPC): Rebuilt custom sound selection dialogs - IMSMS now uses standard PPC file selection dialogs when selecting custom sounds

This will be almost the last build to Version 1.1 - enjoy and please report any new problems you may encounter with this newly added component in IMSMS.

Thanks!

I had everything working fine with the previous version, but recently I had to reset my phone to default settings across the board.

So I reinstalled IMSMS and made the registry edits so only the 2 keys exist, but the default Inbox is still intercepting my messages along with IMSMS. I have "SMS Notify Other Apps" off. I'm using the newest release.
[HTC Excalibur] denn:
Messenger blues...

A few things;

First, I HATE that windows live messenger insists on importing your msn contacts. How can I eliminate them from my contacts, is there any way? I just don't want them....

Next, I am using OctraTalk, a great application for using Google Talk on your mobile. But since changing my home screen, all of the text in OctraTalk has gone to white, making it impossible to read against the white background. The backgrounds I am using are those provided by gospeed.racergo. I can't seem to find any 000000 colors used in the XML, that changing does anything to. Anyone??

Thanks in Advance..

Build 1.0.700 officially released!

Get it to save yourself some memory space :)

Happy Holidays,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Your default inbox should not be intercepting - if it is, ensure that you don't have other keys registered - you most likely have left over orphaned keys lingering in your registry - IMSMS will not pass a copy if you do not enable that option - also, check to be sure you really don't have SMS Notify enabled:

\Program Files\IMSMS\EngError.txt

That's your installed path - within the text file will be entries that tell you if you have AUTO START registered/SMS NOTIFY registered - they should say Unregistered if the options are deactivated.

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racergo:
000000=black

FFFFFF=White

I havent played with that program, so I am not sure of the screen and the reading text problems, but look in the .xml for FFFFFF and change it to see if it fixes the print your referring to. A gray like 595959 works well on a lot of backgrounds.

Not sure if this helps
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Build 1.0.712 released. This is the last build before Version 1.1 - this includes many optimizations - and is the version for both PPC/Smartphone editions you'd want to install.

Thank you and Happy Holidays to you all :)

[HTC Excalibur] Reeg:
What other registry entries could still be existing? In HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\SMS\Services\Rules (or whatever it is) the only 2 keys that exist are the ones you have on your tutorial that I created. That's it. Is there another one within SMS or Inbox that I should delete?

I've also noticed in this new version, I can't scroll down in the chat log to see what I or the other person had previously said.
[HTC Excalibur] juanschwartz:
I got everything working but I still get SMS in my text messaging inbox and have to delete them from there. Can I disable this?

It wouldn't be that big of a deal, but it looks like I have emails for work at the same time.
[HTC Excalibur] .PoNeH:
Do you still have to "hunt" for whoever sent you the text message? I text a lot and that made this software unusuable to me.
[HTC Excalibur] juanschwartz:
you use the ALERT thing
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
If you haven't already, take a look at the home site's online FAQ/Help Tutorial/Videos

There are 3 options in IMSMS for message viewing:

1) Dynamic Alerts - each sender that sends you a message which you aren't directly viewing will show up in your MENU->Alerts - select the sender and it will jump directly to the conversation (also indicated by colored envelopes)

2) Enable Msgs Instant Update - this will display all messages temporarily overwriting your current chat log - each sender that sends you will overwrite the display for an "instant update".

3) One View - all messages come in one display - but all messages sent/received are also tracked invidually so when One View is disabled, you will retain all conversations

Take a look at the help guides - There's alot of features in IMSMS - I have not fully documented everything - but will do so when Version 1.1 arrives.

Thanks,

DSO
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Not to sound like a nag, but there are release notes for each release revision - and the FAQ gives you all the information - if not, you can check out the Help Tutorials as well -

In the release notes for version 1.0.700+, to switch between chat logs (scrolling your messages) and the text entry is done with an ACTION->5

or ACTION->Text Entry/Message Log mode.

Very easy.

As for users that have issues with receiving messages into your default outlook inbox (system inbox), you should recheck your registry entries - most likely you may have some orphaned registry hooks that enable your inbox to capture the messages.

---DSO
[HTC Excalibur] juanschwartz:
Where would those be boss? I have checked in the folder you have with 2 diff reg editors and I am still having the problem.
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
The registry keys are totally dependant on your device/how it was setup - I do not know which keys you have orphaned - I'm not discouraging you or anyone else from getting it to work - just that I honestly do not know which orphaned keys are the culprit - BUT I DO know that this problem exists for Tmobile WM5 upgraded to WM6 devices. It's not just my software that is affected, almost all sms software are affected.

I'll definitely post up a find when I get a chance to look at this registry issue. I'm on a short vacation so I'll be off and online sporatically.

Thanks,

getting Errors with brand new setup

Hello, New here, I've got a Samsung SCH-i760 running Windows mobile 6. I've installed the latest PPC PRO Version 1.0.721. After setting up a Friends list, when I receive a Message from a person not on my Friends list (example from an email address), The application crashes and doesn't pass through the SMS message to the other built in Messaging app. If I clear the contacts list and send a message from my email to my phone, then IMSMS doesn't crash but opens and dosn't show me the message and doesn't pass thorugh the message to the normal SMS reader. I can review the logs and it shows me the message but there is no way to reply. I've also notice that there is no way to uninstall the app from the system uninstaller.

Build 1.0.730 PPC/SMartphone RELEASED

There's much revisions internally - if you encounter any issues, let me know.

Here's what's new:

Revision #3 Dynamic Alerts: Revised internal dynamic alerts code - some users experienced dynamic alerts triggers (the orange/green/red envelope notification icons) when simply switching between friends via the friends list box. This is now fixed.

Added custom incoming ringtone: IMSMS now supports custom ringtones (selectable from the contacts menu) - when assigned, IMSMS will auto play the assigned ringtone for the friend who sends you a message. IMSMS will auto stop ALL music playing within 5 seconds

Revised internal database engine: internal revisions - transparent to users

Revised Call Friend (function) - IMSMS will now bring up a contacts page for each friend you wish to call via the ACTION->MANAGE->CALL FRIEND menu option. You can then select a task to perform (call, message, etc.) just like the system contact dialog.

Revised Audio playback - on windows mobile 5 devices, certain custom sound options even if selected will NOT playback - IMSMS will result to playing the default synchronous audio sample instead.

Yes, those who have asked for custom ringtones, here it is for you. Version 1.0.730 will auto cut the music playback within 5 seconds. Future versions will allow custom time on playback.

Custom ringtones for each friend is set in your system profiles - if you have a contact added for that friend in your system phone book, in the contacts manager, you should be able to select a ringtone for that person. IMSMS uses the same ringtone you set for the system contact.

Those who have issues when scrolling your friends list (with dynamic alerts/icons ) showing up for no reason, this revision completely restructures the way dynamic alerts are handled. Give this one a go.

Windows Mobile 5 users may not be able to play custom sounds. If this is the case, IMSMS will default to synchronous playback of the default internal sounds. WIndows mobile 5 users still have vibration option though - windows mobile 6 users have it all.

Thanks,

DSO

Updated...
[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racergo:
when you talk about the revision of the alerts triggers, does it now show an icon when the phone is locked? I know that was really my only complaint before as I would often not hear my alert and when looking at the phone locked the icon would not be there.

thank you for this wonderful program!
[HTC Excalibur] IMSMS:
Hi,

It all depends - I do not know of any software (personally) that can display an icon if you have for example, FACADE running on your home screen along with other front end GUI's. I am experimenting with some other notifications that will signal your text message plugin's (updating the sms message counter).

Hang in there - there's alot of features in IMSMS - I'll try to accomodate everyone's feature requests. At least you have custom ringtones now - those who were asking for it.

[HTC Excalibur] gospeed.racergo:
If it could toggle the standard sms counter and maybe show the default mail icon, that would be perfect. It would make it feel oem.

Another thing that would be really trick, is (since this IS pretty much a replacement for the sms folder) to make the sms folder link to your program. Again, dont know how or if, but just something I would prefer. :p

Cant wait to see what each new revision will bring! :)
