Maybe this answer by d1maier on page 20 of this thread can help you.

I am get the very same thing ...?? can not add apps without getting this error message ..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] j101399j:
Thank you; I was able to adapt it to the newest version

Using the latest version when I added an icon I was able to aim the icon at

\windows\tmail.exe

just set the parameters to

-service "Hotmail" -open "Inbox" (Capital letters and spelling matter) and it woprked perfectly.

As for SMS I created a .lnk file from notepad on my PC names readSMS.lnk

In the file I put the text

19#:MSINBOX -service "SMS" -to ""

Saved it to my phone and aimed the SMS icon at it, and now everytime I click that icon, it takes me to my SMS

There seems to have been a lot of problems encountered by various people, looking back over earlier messages. I would just like to balance that with the following:

1. My thanks to Simo for producing a quality application with ifonz. (Don't forget to make a donation to him if you haven't already done so).

2. I have a QVGA o2 Stellar (HTC TYTN II clone) running WM6.1 and as an academic exercise I have all 3 versions of iphonz installed and all running perfectly (1.1.2, 2.0.3.0 and 2.0.5.0). This has allowed me to compare all 3 versions side by side. For what it's worth, here is my feedback from those comparisons:

I have never had a crash or lock-up from any of the 3 versions, nor any of the speed problems with 1.1.2 reported by others.

1.1.2 is by far the best for sliding pages using finger gestures. It is silky smooth and I never get an application opening unintentionally. With both 2.0.3.0 and 2.0.5.0. finger gestures regularly, unintentionally open applications

1.1.2 slides pages using the hardware left and right navigation controls, and apps can be cycled though using the hardware jogwheel. These hardware functions don't appear to have been enabled in 2.0.3.0 or 2.0.5.0

I like the large clock on the home page in 2.0.3.0 and 2.0.5.0 and would like to see it added to the next update to version 1.1.2

If you minimise 2.0.5.0 with no other apps running, it won't stay minimised whereas both 1.1.2 and 2.0.3.0 will stay minimised.

I much prefer the ability to pre-populated program pages with blanks in 1.1.2.

I much prefer the edit facility of 1.1.2 available by pressing & holding on an icon.

I much prefer the bottom row of fixed icons in 1.1.2. although this can be simulated in 2.0.3.0 and 2.0.5.0 by having the same icons repeated in the bottom row of all program pages.

I guess from the above, you can see that my favourite is 1.1.2, and the addition of the large clock facility from 2.0.3.0 and 2.0.5.0 would make it even better.

And a final request. I would like an addition to the 'special' icons category that permanently displays battery state, which when pressed would open up Power properties.

Hope the above feedback is found useful.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mick300ZX:

so is this app going to work on my 320x320 phone?

i mean i like this app but it just doesnt work properly in my phone......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
I have a suggestion -- serious -- not a joke.

Simo doesn't have a 320x320 device, as he said. And making adaptation artwork and code is really difficult and too time consuming for a developer to build and test it.

But, post your request to ADAPT the VGA or QVGA version to 320x320, here:

I like a few others have recieved the error with systems.dat

After i customized my ifonz, i had turned on and off my phone a few times. The last time i turned it on i got the message.

Heres my problem Ifonz does not show up as a program on my phone, so i cant uninstall it. I noticed this when I tried to make an Ifonz soft key. How can i get the phone to recognize it as a program so i can un install it??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samthu:
error with settings.dat

Hey simo great applcation looks good. I too have the same problem, after starting ifonz and doing a few customization i get the error ' error with values in settings.dat'. I deleted the settings.dat file and started ifonz again and this time i only added program files and still got the same error. Hey simo any help here?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
The problem is the xml formatting text, if it stop writing settings during saves it damage settings.dat or if you use "&" character in filename it go on error, because is a special character for xml, but there are other special characters that i dont know and that can create problems.

I think i'll change setting.dat from xml to simple txt format and all these problems resolved, if i do this you lost all settings or you can use a text editor to clean your settings.dat from xml code.

For Quicksite, in past i decide to not create CAB installation because a lot of people having problems to uninstall it from Remove Programs in windows mobile, and i dont know what do windows in installation and uninstallation.

I can create all 2 types of installations for next release, ok?

Bye

P.s.

I'm working on new version and a lot of bug fixes are solved and new features are coming. :D

P.s.s.

I look iPhoneToday and i think is a very good alternative to iFonz 2 but you miss a lot of graphical things if you dont use iFonz :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
New features? Excellent. Does it now make gelato? I also want a one-button push to connect me with the President of the US private cell phone; no forget him, I want a one button dial to the Vatican so I can make prank calls. And don't forget the water-squirt feature. tap any 2 app button at same time and water squirts out at whatever target is on the camera screen.

The planets are finally starting to align. The ROM I have been waiting for that will enable me to run iFonz on my t-mobile wing the best has just released tonight, after development since February 09. He has same dedication as you, simo, to get it right.

ok i will try to do it when i get sum time, just been busy lol, but anyways thanks for your suggestion......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kszp:
I had the same problem. After some days playing I've realized that this happens when I used a *.lnk instead of *.exe for the program start buttons. If I use only *.exe that works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mick300ZX:
I'll do that the next time it crashes. This is what I did, I installed/unzip iFonz2 v.0.3.0, apparently does not have this bug, made all the modifications I wanted than installed/unzip iFonz 2 v.0.5.0 on top of the other one. All modifications stayed and no crashes in two days.

Simo took notice, let's wait for the fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Next version dismiss XML settings, too problems with values and characters, for a simple txt file, first time you start new version it convert settings.dat from xml data to text (simple replace function to remove xml characters).

And in the next version you can download CAB or ZIP.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
to cab or not to cab

I hear your arguments about cabs Quicksite and I understand what you're saying, but for me it's sounds wrong. It's like saying we have this superior thing called DVDs but the majority of the people in the world are still using VHS casettes so we should all go back to VHS so we don't confuse people with this newfangled DVD thing. I love the cabless installation. Please don't change it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] samthu:
Thanks simo. will be waiting for next version. Good application can't wait, i also like the cab less installation since am able to put it were i want(like the SD card) that way am able to save space on the main memory.

iFonz1 vs iFonz2 on Samsung Omnia

Being a long time user of iFonz1, I was tempted to try out the iFonz2. Version 0.5 looks very cool and fast, the pages was setup automatically to VGA but I can easily change it back to QVGA (my PDA is Samsung Omnia that has WQVGA, but QVGA version looks nice).

But after few minutes of trying, the "out of memory" messages appear, and iFonz2 still does not work with the auto rotate function (the portrait setup stuck in the screen when I change the orientation to landscape).

Now I want to uninstall iFonz2 and stick back with iFonz1 that can handle auto rotate without the out of memory problem. After deleting all the iFonz2 files and all the bmp generated files in my Device root folder, my Omnia still said that it runs out of memory. I use ClearTemp still no changes, even after many soft resets.

I got my iFonz1 back to work, but every few minutes, the out of memory message appears. I try to look in this thread on how to re-gain the memory, but doesn't found one. If anyone have the solutions please advise...:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Restart phone?

If the program go out of memory is for a large bitmap or anything else.

Sorry for landscape but for add this i double the code.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lapereau:
Thanks Simo for the quick reply... Unfortunately I did delete all the files correspond to iFonz2 program, restart the phone, soft reset it, but it still does not solve the issue. I don't know how I can clear the memory storage. My Omnia internal memory still have 2.5GB free in it and the SD card still have 3GB.

If I go to Setting - System - Memory, it shows in the main memory:

Total: 86.7 MB

In use: 86.7 MB

Free: 0.00 MB

:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Use program like MemMaid to discover which process get all memory, the problem isn't iFonz.

In my Diamond work well since 7 months.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
You're absolutely right, teacher. "Copy Files Anywhere & Run from there" is a superior solution overall. But the issue I am speaking of most has to do with "reasonable expectations" re updating an app. "Install by CAB", in every case I use this on other apps, recognizes when there is a prior install, and updates the application while KEEPING THE SETTINGS.

That's 100% the issue. It should not require a mental brain-twist to figure out how to maintain all your settings. And when there is a situation where *you* chose to do it one way, and simo gives me instructions that are the *inverse* of what you say, yet achieving the same end result, that is bad usability design.

It's not intentionally bad, of course. It is just a situation which breaks the norm in a bad way. So you trade off the ADVANTAGE of Windows-less installation anywhere you want with the DISADVANTAGE of inconsistent and unclear retention of settings when you upgrade or update versions.

To the person who said "I like cab-less because it allows me to place the app on my storage card", well, most .cab installations give that choice by default. Some apps will end up installing themselves in device memory even when you select Storage Card, and those are application-design issues.

If Simo were to automate the updating of the app while keeping Settings and themes etc, there would be no issue. Until that becomes the norm, then even if several people figure out how to retain their settings, while other people can't figure it out, that is bad usability design.

To CAB or NOT TO CAB isn't the issue :)

iFonz 2 Death and Born new program named ???

Hi to all, i thinking in these days and i decided to stop iFonz 2 development :eek: to start a new program (name unknown :confused:) more configurable like Android or Mobile Shell 3 that i think is better user inteface :cool:.

I not start to 0 but i use the engine of iFonz 2 and a lot of settings.

In these days i'll upload my last version modified and fixed of iFonz 2.

In this new program i want add widget like Meteo, Clock, Appointment and others things, and all buttons can moved where you want and not in a prefixed grid, and if i have time i want add GSensor gestures to scroll pages or list and for other graphics effects like 3D visualization of buttons.

Quick Question for hard resets

First off, top notch software. Really makes wm6.1 worth using. Now I am a bigger fan of 1.1.2 but i am tinkering with the ifonz 2, pretty cool stuff!

My question goes like this... I am a big fan of a weekly hard reset. Now even with ifonz running on my memory card, all my settings, icon placements so and and so forth are lost every time i reset.

Is there a file saved to the ppc that i can save over the hard reset in order not to have to reset EVERTHING when I do a hard reset??

Thankyou anyone who can help!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I was just joking, I think Quicksite was too. An android is an artificial man, so is a Robot and a Cyborg, so if I was going to make a system that was similar to the Android system I would probably call it something like Roboid or even better Cyboid. Cy (pronounced like Si in Simo). Thank you very much for your work for us all. Wish you the best!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
How about saving settings.dat and then restoring it once you have reset your device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
teacher's right, it was a joke.. building off the legacy of ifonz but switching gears. i was using it like a drone missile, lethal.

but now I have the real name; it's buried in your dna:

It's simply called the "j5" or "j5 slide"

Sounds james-bondish, or sleek sportscar, simple to pronounce, remember, branding

Dumb dumb question, but is this in windows? I have a settings.cfg but no settings.dat? I gues I am just confused because I believed the iFonz program was entirly stored on my storage card, all of my other progs on the memory card maintain settings over a hard reset. Thankyou for your continued help!!

settings.dat is in your ifonz2 folder wherever you have put it on your phone, copy it via activestink to your pc then copy it back once you have reset
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loungelizard182:
Sorry Teacher1960

I appriciate your sticking with me on this issue. I will say sorry however, I am kindof posting in the wrong thread I suppose. This problem I am having is with ifonz 1.1.2, in which folder doesn't have the settings.dat. Might you have any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
settings

Off-Topic - settings

Do you have a settings file in your iFonz 1.1.2 folder, whatever it is called?

You can copy it to your pc, then rename it to .txt to check that your settings are there, and then do like I told you in the previous post
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] loungelizard182:
I have on my storage card a folder named ifonz 1.1.2 which contains: Contacts (folder), gfx (folder), utils (folder), ifonz settings (application), ifonz (application), LANG (text), License (text), Microsoft.WindowsMobile.dll, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Forms.dll, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.dll, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Status.dll, Microsoft.WindowsMobile.Telephony.dll, Read Me (text) and shortcuts (text)

Now there again I don't format my card for a hard reset, so where ever these settings I am looking for are, must be on the ppc. as they are lost with the hard reset. After a hard reset when I click on ifonz.exe its like it was freshly installed....???? AHHHH

Thankyou again

Forgive me if this was asked and answered but is there a way to prevent the red end key from sending you back to the today screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
settings

Off topic - Settings

If iFonz 1.1.2 works anything like iFonz2 you don't really need to find out where the settings are, once you have set it up the way you like it, you can copy the entire folder somewhere safe and then copy it back after a hard reset.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
What red end key?????
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
If you use IFonz 2.0 to access an application, and while in that application hit the red phone key (end), it goes back to the Today screen instead of back to IFonz...

Sorry I couldn't help you, but when you say installed what do you mean? I meant that you should just copy it back not install. You don't have to install iFonz. That's why it should be possible to keep your settings.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I didn't know this would be an issue, I have all my icons in a folder outside the iFonz folder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] trjons:
Well, I don't lose the icons....they are in a folder.

What I lose is the positioning of each one. I have to set up each icon again on each page....is that supposed to copy over when you copy the settings.dat file because it isn't copying over for me. Or is it contained in a separate file?

Also, is there a way to make the Calendar icon on the main page only pull up those events for that day in the red notification bubble? Mine is showing 3 upcoming appointments but they are all for tomorrow, while I have none today.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I have no idea why this happened to you, it didn't happen to me. I kept everything, the settings worked from one version to the others but to be certain it is important to remember that you don't have to install iFonz. so you can have two or more ifonz folders with different versions simultaneously this way you can transfer settings from one to the other easily. At the moment I have 0.3.0 , 0.5.0 and 0.6.0 all working nicely on my phone. I just put a link to the version I want to use in the windows startup folder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
The calendar issue I don't know the answer to, but I suspect this has to do with the settings of the calendar program more than iFonz

Late response to Teacher1960

Yes I suppose installed would be the wrong term... Before my last hard reset, which was Saturday, I copied the ifonz folder, in its entirety, to my pc from my memory card. I removed the card from my insite and perfomed the hard reset. I then transfered the ifonz folder back onto my memory card, and all settings are lost, as usuall. I just acts as though it was a new install, though it is the same file folder that was running before the hard reset.

Sorry about the late responce, any new ideas let me know. Thanks
