Working great on my HTC Diamond 1. My caller pictures are 480x640, but they are not showing on full screen. I think pictures are scaled so the text is visible on black background. Is this how the program works? How about a full screen picture and text overlapping it. And if the text is not clear there could some effect applied to it-dark background, glowing letters:)

I'm using this version post=235 with Windows 6.5.1- BsB ROM.

best regards

can we please have answer and reject button on the bottom..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angus1357:
I think it would be a good idea to put a size variable in the settings file so the users could choose how big they want the image. Also "Full Screen" mode should get rid of the "Accept /Reject" butons on the bottom of the screen which currently isnt happening.

Looked great at first, worked well and simple, lightweight etc.

But the app does not work when the phone is locked. Who has their phone unlocked when it is not in use? Fatal flaw.

Not working on my Touch Diamond2 device

Hello, I have just run iCaller0.1.0.3 on my Touch Diamond2 device, English version. But it does not working correctly.

I make a call to my Touch Diamond2, it just showed up the default caller screen. When I hang up the call, the Touch Diamond2 screen had a 0.5 second pop onto full screen photo, back to normal again...

Below is the log file, your help to solve the problem is much appreciated.

Thanks...

iCaller 0.1.0.7

Try this version
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaskiratsingh:
The version 0.1.0.7 works fine on WM 6.5.x. There is an issue i.e. iCaller appears after 3-5 seconds after call instead of immediately.

Secondly it would be perfect if answer and end call buttons are at the bottom of the screen.

Please let me know if you need the buttons.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
Well, I found also how to change the color:

.callername
{
color:#003F87;
font-size: 180%; font-weight: bold;
}
.callernumber
{
color:#003F87;
font-size: 180%;
}

But I have an error when I try to stop iCaller (see attachement, even if it's in Italian) or I try to launch with -nonotify option.

Ciao, Andrea

What is the language of your WinMobile system? You need to check what are the sSysCallerWndTitle and sSysCallerWndClass options in settings.ini file. sSysCallerWndTitle should contain exactly the name of old Incoming Call screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Yep, for some reason HTMLView doesn't show background image correctly if it is set to no-repeat. So it has repeat-x for now. I'm fighting this problem, have some progress.

I'll tune the skin too :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
TB,

I tried the new version last night and it's not working properly anymore. When a call comes in the iCaller screen briefly flashes up but then it goes back to the default caller ID screen. My titlebar says Phone - Incoming without the ... and I then edited settings.ini accordingly, but it still doesn't work.

Ideas?

I have a Samsung i760 and have the same problem. The default callerID program still appears in the foreground, while icaller shows in the background.

(edit: fixed with a restart of the app)

It does pull them from your Contact's Outlook information. It's an option to have it use them stored on your storage card.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
It's explained in the Readme.html file:

iCaller looks for contact picture in the following order:

First look into Pictures Folder for an image file which name equals to the caller number, e.g. '7468374.jpg'

If no picture found, look into Pictures Folder for an image file which name equals to the caller name, e.g. 'John, Smith.jpg'

If still no picture, try to get picture from Pocket Outlook database

I am on AT&T htc 8525 (hermes) english wm6.0..

thanks

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
I'm not sure if I understand some of the info in the readme -- can you get the current colors of the theme the phone itself is using so you can design a theme for iCaller that bases it's colors from what the rest of the phone is using?

S2U2 not work for me

I tried every versions of S2u2 from start version.

It 's very good caller id function but since I 've got more than 2500 contacts with I think more than 100 contacts with picture. Then, sometimes it freeze my Touch Dual when someone calls. my pim file 's size is 13 mb.

Averagely, about 5 or 6 times a day. So, I can't stand.

Now, I m using caller id function in Inesoft Phone 4.1. It's working fine and also skinnable. Only one problem is it's take about 3-4 mins on initializing at startup.

I hope this skinable iCaller will be worth to try.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'll prepare a test build tomorrow to fight this issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
aight... burt... iCaller works great, i managed to move stuff around and get a full ID screen with no Dialog from the original dialer and with info on the caller.

the only problems are, that if the picture is not big enough it'll tile it instead of centering it... and that it doesn't receive black as a color and makes it transparent so the picture looks really strange.

other than that it's perfect.. and lightweight.

thx

a tip

after changing the settings.ini file you need to restart the app for it to receive the changes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Timb320:
OK I need to know what exactly is the Manila (TouchFlo3D) sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle for Callerid? The reason why I ask is because I'm playing with some small code to hide the Manila Caller ID on my TP so my 3rd party CallerID soft is the only one showing. :)

Sorry I think this is usefull info I cant seem to find anywhare and have tried various Class Titles to include "Phone - Icoming".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshrys:
You sir are a genius... :) or I am an idiot, either one. That fixed the issue of the old callerID showing up in front.

Q: how about a semi transparent box behind the caller information? Right now if a person's picture has white in it, the text is hard to read. Perhaps a darker semitransparent box behind the info would help out? I'm sure it can be done in the html, can someone point me in the right direction?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
dude.. i'm certainly not a genius (*hint hint*.. j/k) , but nowadays some of the apps just update automatically.. so restarting the app isn't always a trivial thing to do.

i agree with the need of a semitransparent box.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] joshrys:
does your old windows actually have the "..." at the end? mine didn't, once i took those off it works properly...

on another note, icaller was acting very strange yesterday. When my brother called, it showed his picture, and number, but displayed his name as "Unknown". His name is entered correctly in contacts, has unknown nowhere in his information.

Then on every other call I received last night, no picture would show up, only the answer/ignore bar, so therefore no name or number could be seen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
I cant seem to get this to work well on my Diamond Pro.. The images don’t resize to the screen and it will not stop the stock caller ID from coming up.. I changed the name in the settings.ini and still nothing. It would also be nice to have buttons to accept and deny calls like the stock screen.

Does iCaller replace deafult caller?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ericizzy1:
anyone have it working on a 320x320 screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vgandoff:
I've been using this app for a couple of days now. One issue to report:

The caller name does not get displayed, it always comes in as Unknown. The caller phone number is displayed, as well as the other 2 lines of text bellow the phone number. The picture is displayed properly, and it looks great.

Since most of m incoming callers don't have pics in the outlook database, it presents a problem, since no name is pulled from the outlook contacts.

I remember S2U2 had a similar issue in its early days, but it got fixed.

This app has great potential!

Those of you having problems with default Incoming Call pop-up, please try attached update. It will log all existing windows to iCaller.log file, so you could check what window titles are and set correct values in settings.ini.

Thanks!

I've prepared a test build which generates a log file with some useful information. Could you please try it and check if the problem still exists? Send me the iCaller.log file then.

Usage:

1. Run iCaller

2. Receive some incoming calls

3. Stop iCaller

4. Copy iCaller.log to your PC and send it to me

Thanks in advance!

Here's my sample log file -- I should note that at no time did I even see the iCaller screen, not even a flicker of it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Thanks for the log!

First of all, you have

sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming...

in your settings.ini, while on your device default window has 'Phone - Incoming' title, without the dots. Please change it to

sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming

and restart iCaller.

Secondly, I'm wondering if a standard Icoming Call window on Smartphones is full-screen or not? May I see a screenshot of an incoming call, cause I'm not able to make cellular emulator work with smartphone emulator yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
Actually I did have it the way you suggested already. See?

; Language

sLanguage = english

; Theme

sTheme = default

; WNDCLASS of default dialer

sDefDialerClass = Dialog

; WNDNAME of default dialer

sDefDialerTitle = Phone - Incoming

; Use alternative call control (will not emulate Talk and End key press)

sAltCallControl = no

; Show notification when iCaller has been started

sShowStartNotification = yes

Also, when I start iCaller there is no notification of it starting either.

Smartphone caller id screens (outgoing, during, and incoming) are all full screen with the exception of the top and bottom bars. I can't attach an example right now because I've got the wrong phonecanvas installed on my device. However your original alpha/beta did work. The version prior to this at least flashed up the iCaller screen briefly.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
burt, any idea on how to make the pictures center instead of multiply?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
It should be sSysCallerWndTitle, not sDefDialerTitle since 0.1.0.2. Sorry for that inconvenience, I've changed names of some settings in settings.ini. After you put it right, it will hopefully work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
I'm working on it... There is a strange bug with HTMLView, where bg image just disappears when background-repeat: no-repeat is set. A workaround is to create two side rows (left and right) with a solid color background, which will cut the picture by sides.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
i'll try it. thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
This is my log file, it failed only the first call out of 3, it showed the standard incoming call window.

Many thanks.

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
As far as I can see, system Incoming Call window is called 'Telefono - In arrivo' in your system. Try to set

sSysCallerWndTitle = Telefono - In arrivo

in settings.ini and restart iCaller. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
Thanks for your reply, but as fa I can see, system incoming call window is called "Chiamata vocale in entrata", alternated with "3G TIM" (TIM is my local operator), so I setted settings.ini as per your instructions:

sSysCallerWndTitle = Chiamata vocale in entrata

By the way it works the most of times, only random calls, often the first of the day, I see the standard window.

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
That's strange, because I see the following in the log:

Looking for std Incoming Call window: Dialog, Chiamata vocale in entrata

Found: 0x0

Which means that iCaller haven't find system Incoming Call dialog.

At the same time, there is a "Telefono - In arrivo" dialog window among active windows on your device.

Could you try 'sSysCallerWndTitle = Telefono - In arrivo' option and tell me what happens then?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
I changed settings.ini as per your instructions, and now it doesn't work :)

I attached a small .avi so you can see what happens, also in the same zip there is the new log file.

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Okay, I see, you're using Manila! Could you please try this build and send me the logs, I've put some extra info to the log to determine the topmost window? Thanks!

firstly thank you for this lighter, easy and stable software ... and sorry for bad english.

Can you disable the bar (answer / ignore) ?

Thank you in advance.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Do you need to disable or to hide the Answer/Ignore bar? If disable to avoid accidental press, then wait for Screen Lock function in iCaller. If hide, then for now it's not possible.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
Here you go, I attached also a new .avi with strange effect.

After fixing the sSysCallerWndTitle name it started working. Yay!

It's not working as nicely as before. Notyay!

It takes up to two rings (my default ring is a phone ring) before the actual image displays. I instantly get the Answer/Ignore menubar at the bottom though.

See attached images. Also note that the screen doesn't look right.

Same here, except that the callerID picture did not show up until about the sixth ring...

Really like the app, but will wait for further development.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
burt, just for a feedback..

it works great, i changed the HTML code and it fits the settings..

i also put a dir with named pictures exactly 240x320 on my storage card and it reads it well.

also only takes like 200kb of memory.

wonderful application..

on thing i'd like to know... is if there's a way to put a half transparent background (like in S2U2) for the writing and limit the picture to not appear under the writing so the face isn't covered. this would make the writing much easier to read.

HI

I have installed iCaller (removed S2uS) and now the situation is like this.

When call comes i see 3 same pictures at the top and in the bottom i see caller name .. no buttons just at the bottom Answer on the left and .... dunno :) on the right.

Here's my caller.log.

Thank you truburt
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
you should resize your pictures to fit the screen. right now it tiles the pictures and duplicates them instead of centering.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] FoneBone:
Here is my iCaller.log. Please take a look at the second call in it.

It took up to six rings, until the complete screen of iCaller was shown. The bad thing is, that my mailbox starts after the seventh ring ;)

My phone is a LG KS20 (WM6.0), and the main app in the background is iFonz 1.1.2.

Maybe this is helpful to you.

you can create a link to iCaller.exe and put the link in the startup folder.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kwoodall:
I was hoping that HTMLView would support animated GIFs but apparently it doesn't. Correct?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cejay:
Im having luck with my HTC 8525 (at&t) now, and have updated the settings file and also took off the "..." after incoming call..

I get the correct screen but of course with 3 small tiled pictures.

I only get this when I use the picture that is normally assigned to the contact.

(apparently when you let the program use the contact photo, it resizes it to 3 small tiled photos.

IF I take a regular phone pic (camera, not contact photo) and leave it at 2megapixel etc, the picture is huge but does take up the whole screen

(with some light blue mixed into the photo).. I used resco photo viewer to resize the pic to close to 240x320 and it looks basically

full screen now, , there are areas that are normally black in the photo and the light blue background shows through the photo

as if the black area is transparent and lets the blue color wash thru..

can we make the background color transparent so it wont affect the photo?

The only way I can get normal sized photos to show is

to NOT use the regularly assigned contact photo and use a totally different photo (or resize the contact photo)

to 240x320 and is named 15555551212.jpg (or whatever the phone # is for the contact)

and then I can at least get the full sized photos to show (with some colors messed up,, but its working better now)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
Alright burt, i tried setting up an easy name on outlook, set a dir name in the settings.ini file and the same dir name on my storage card with the contact's name.jpg image.

for some reason it still goes to read the pictures from outlook.

any idea why?

Amazing

Dude,

You ROCK!!

I have been scouring the internet for some application like this for ages.

I was testing the earlier version 1.0.2 and found it quite ok.

Want to try this.

Would you be able to update a sort of a changelog on the first post?

For example, in order to use boxed.thm, do I have to rename this to default.thm. I am guessing and will experiment, but your update on changelog would have saved the hassle!

Thanks a ton!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
now it doesn't multiply the pictures but still doesn't read pics from the specified folder... for some reason. it shows the picture in the upper part of the screen, in the middle, and doesn't stretch it..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Genius2000:
Many thanks, I'll try and report, due to I made my own Theme, have I to rewrite it?

Ciao, Andrea
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
No, you don't have to rewrite it, I suppose. You may take a look at the changes I made to boxed.thm to catch the idea, but your theme should work fine anyway.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
You don't have to rename it, just open settings.ini with a text editor (e.g. Notepad on your PC), and change "sTheme = default" to "sTheme = boxed" there, then restart iCaller.

I'll make a changelog.txt for the next release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] truburt:
Could you please send me your settings.ini?

You should also ensure that your photo files are named exactly as 'File As' field of a contact in Outlook, including the comma. Supported file types are jpg, gif and png.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] KoolPal:
Version: iCaller0.1.0.3 is PERFECT!

Using the boxed theme. Outlook contact picture appears perfect, is not tiled.

Below codes do not seem to work.

PIMPR_BIRTHDAY

PIMPR_ANNIVERSARY

Is there any condition that should be met to make this work?

Also, need code for Contact Notes

May God bless you for this application!!

The 0.1.0.3 version is working in all respects on Smartphones again! The display is good, and it answers and ignores just fine.

What about animated GIFs...does or does not HTMLView support these?
