The new release is really cool, Simo. As now, only two things to report:

- the only things i miss are the ability to create new pages (as in old ifonz, so that i am not obliged to fill the previous page with icons to start a new one) and custom wallpaper in programs

- a small bug: when settings is active, or when adding icons, Activesync shuts down and the ppc loses connection with pc. This doesn't happen with ifonz itself

other than that, 0.3.0 is almost perfect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdatyw:
SSJ: Thanks for all your hard work. I just tired Version 0.3.0, and have the same problem as I mentioned in an earlier thread. I did try using the QVGA theme. iFonz 1 worked with no problems.

Any ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks...;)

qvga no works
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rharmon76:
I got QVGA to work for a bit as I was setting things up. Go into the Ifonz2Config program and change the value on the first page to QVGA. The problem I am having is after I have added all my programs it was working. I went back into the config program and tweeked it a bit and now it will not let me run Ifonz again. Any ideas?

It says "errors with values in settings.dat"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
iFonz 2 v 0.3.0

Nice job simo!

.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Yes it does work.

See, ssj5trunks is a man of minimal words :) His most favorite word is "Bye". But he speaketh the truth... And always expects people to at least engage the software before saying "This doesn't work".

That is why he created the Configurations app, which is there in the same folder with ifonz.exe . Open the configurator, and select "Standard QVGA" ... He's defaulted it to "Standard VGA" because he's now got a VGA phone.

Yes, ssj5trunks is indeed a minimalist, but he's got QVGA covered just fine. It looks beautiful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rharmon76:
Found the settings for the first 6 icons for QVGA. Go into IfonzConfig and on the 4th page labled "Home Buttons" choose a button and change the directory file from StandardVGA to StandardQVGA. You will need to do this to all 6 icons on that page. I would assume you would do it with each one you would add as well.

Great job on the Ifonz project!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BrokenSyde:
Wheres the download link?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rharmon76:
Go to the 1st page and click on the website in the signature. On the website click on Ifonz2.0.3.0. and read. You will see the link.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hkmac:
Awesome!

Thank you!!!! Nice work!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xdatyw:
Thanks... Tried this on my landscape QVGA (HTC device), but still only filling about 60% of the screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rharmon76:
ssj5trunks-

Once again you worked hard and created a great program. I think this new version will be better for the VGA devices. I am running it on my wizard and it operates great but it just doesn't look right. (And yes I have figured out all the settings.) I have been running the 1.[1].2.1 version and by far operates fast and looks fantastic. It is easy to use and simple to do all icon additions. If you could improve that version just a tad, I think you will have a winner for QVGA devices. Leave out or give the user the option for the menu page and make it so you can add your icons like the new version. These are just my thoughts and you have done more than enough for the mobile community so please don't think I am being ungrateful. Thank you for all your hard work. I will stay with the 1.[1].2.1 for now. Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] garsim:
and a themes for square screen?! :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Create your theme.

What is your resolution?

To add/create theme copy the files from another theme in themes directory in iFonz folder and redraw all graphics.

After go to Configurator and set your theme.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I tried to cut and paste my icons from the last settings.dat to the new one so I don't have to start over, the app/icons appear in the programs part of settings but when I go to program in Ifonz it crashes. Anyone know of a fix, or has anyone been able to restore their icons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
Congratulations ssj5trunks. You have indeed done a wonderful job. Now most of the features are easily customisable and the program page is no more moving when pressed. This is again by far the best iphone program I have ever used. Thank you very much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sixpaxs:
I was able to just cut and past from my old settings file (51 programs and contacts). You just might have to double check some of your paths, as the new version has different folder names for certain things. The default home screen icons image paths for example, if you just copied the old ones would make it crash.

Overall, very good improvements with the configuration tool and homescreen changes, and other changeable settings. One issue I am having, is with the home screen background not displaying. The home screen color is overriding my selected background image. Is there a transparency setting or color, or some other setting?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I love the new version, ALOT easier to set up/configuration on this one. If I could make one request/suggestion, I loved the button press motion on 1.12, I don't know if that's easy to include but just my suggestion. thanks for all of your hard work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
I would like to always start with the home page whenever I switch on the phone. As discussed before I set the <StartWithIcons Value="False" /> but it does not work. Is there a correct way to do it.

Another question is whether the active weather icon + 5 day forecast used in version 1 can be used here.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Use Configurator to set start option.

Weather icon i think dont work in this version, but i want add weather in home page.

hello

On my toshiba G900 I have not found any major bugs, the most important things that should not be on my device are:

1-I added the contacts with photo, the first easily add others just send everything except the crash ifonz also adding them one at a time, error net framework but my pda has successfully installed the latest, however I solved by adding the same by menu' ---> settings ----> add the program or just a number, including contacts

2-normal if I do not know but I will always remain in taskbar ifonz setting on task manager hide.

still missing some setting on ifonz 1.1.4

in any case already really good and usable.

Hi Sucarola,

Can you let me know how you configure 9 icons into the home page. I am using Omnia and have enough space to accomodate 9 icons.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Go to configurator->Home buttons and set other buttons.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
Thanks ssj5trunks. Managed to set 9 buttons after ticking the active box which I omitted before. However, still not able to go back to home page after unticking the checkbox for "At start show programs". Is the feature not working or am I missing something.

Thanks again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
The checkbox At start show programs, load the programs page at start up of application.

What's wrong?

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
Sorry. My question is how to enable ifonz to always start with or show the home page whenever the application starts. You advise to use configurator to set the option so I take it to mean by unticking the "at start show program" the application will not go to program page but to the home page whenever it starts. But it does not work. So is it possible to do this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] telsasparks:
I am using on a wizard. It seems to work fine. I will try to find an optimal overclock setting to make it a bit more perky. My first choice consumed the battery too quickly. When I started, I had a bit of a problem getting the home screen to run on QVGA even after I ran the config and set to QVGA. I finally deleted the files in the VGA folder and copied the files in the QVGA folder to VGA. It worked and I was so geeked to try out the new release, I just have not gone back to the issue.

Now to make a home screen skin...

Thank you for your efforts.

does anyone have a problem with adding internet links? everytime i attempt it Ifonz crashes until I remove the link.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tedkord:
Thanks for all the work ssj5trunks. My queston is for the general population here:

Is anyone else using this on a Verizon i910 Omnia? And if so, does landscape work for you? In landscape for me, I'm getting a split screen, correct, half still in portrait with the clock.

I've tried paring the VGA background down to 400x240, putting it in the qVga folder and using it, but no dice. (I have set to use qvga settings).

I'm a bit stumped right now. I'll keep fudging with the settings to see if I can get this worked out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ntadeusz:
You are the best. Thank you very mutch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tay_kokhwa@yahoo.com.sg:
My bad. The "At start show program" does work when application is closed and then opened. My mistaken impression that it does not work is becos the application remained opened when I "switch off" and on the phone. Sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sixpaxs:
I have the Verizon i910 Omnia and have the same thing is occurring. In the readme.txt, there is a note under the info that this only works in portrait right now. This was true of the beta version and also the new .03 version.

Can you display a background on the home screen properly?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tedkord:
That's what I get for not reading the readme file! I've only tried the stock background, but it displays fine in portrait. I did remake it in 400x240, though. I didn't notice if it was incorrect originally.

Thanks for the info. I guess I'll have to stop being so lazy, and start reading the instructions!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sixpaxs:
Yeah, I had remade mine for 400x240 too. I just got it to display. Apparently, I had to actually select it through the configurator, rather than just edit the settings file manually. For whatever reason, the manually entry was not taking.

On another note, does 'NO SERVICE' always show above the clock and date? Mine never shows anything else or signal strength bars.

Thanks.

Not sure about the tasks notifications. But for the voicemail, try this and just plug in the number you dial to call your voicemail (and icon path if you desire).

Hi All,

I've been trying v0.3.0 for a few days and all is working ok on my HTC Dual Touch (Nike)

Very good job, Configurator makes settings much more easier than with v0.1.0, well done !!

I have a few questions :

I'd like to launch iFonz2 only when needed to reduce number of apps running and because iFonz overrides my Today Screen.

When I try to hide iFonz (using little cross in the upper right corner of the screen) to switch to my Today Screen it disappears for a fraction of second, showing the Today Screen then, comes back to the foreground.

Is there a setting to fix this behavior ?

Otherwise it would be fine to add a "Today Screen" item in the "Menu" or on the Home Page if possible.

I wanted to launch iFonz2 by pressing (or double pressing) a button on the phone or by using the Cube Launcher

- First I used AEBPlus to create a Virtual Button (in my case double press on the Red Phone Button), then found my Virtual Button in Start/Settings/Personal/Buttons

But when I've tried to assign iFonz2 to this button, I couldn't find it in the list of actions and apps, I guess because the App is not installed but a sort of portable one.

Is it possible to create a .cab file to install iFonz ?

2. Then I tried TouchSettings to reassign an button of the Cube Launcher making it pointing to the iFonz2 App. (located on the phone, not on the memory card).

But when I tried to use the Cube I received a message saying that the file can't be opened because not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components is missing.

(I've made soft resets)

If it can be useful for someone, I've finally found a solution : Changing a softkey of the Today Screen with a registry editor

I modified HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112 to point to iFonz App

Then I tried to affect the Today Screen to the AEBPlus Virtual Button, it switches well to Today Screen but iFonz immediatly still overrides it :-(

P.S. Sorry for my poor English ;-)

HI:)

I have a problem with my icons.

when I try to replaced the icons appear white contours around the icons.

how can I do?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
use the "magic pink" (RGB:255,0,255) as transparent color for your icons
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] piero79:
sorry but I don't understand.

where I use those numbers? in ifonz settings?

thank's
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
no, in photoshop or gimp or whatever you use to make your icons. If you don't make them yourself, you have to keep the white border.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
You can use my icons which are made with a black background. You can download them from page 21 in this thread. You can see screenshots as the first post on this page, and download them a little further down the page.

Hi Simon.

First of all great job!

I have version 2.0.3.0.0 running great on an o2 Stellar XDA (HTC Tytn II clone), but thought you might be interested in the following feedback:

1. Is there a way to vary the size/font for the legends 'Signal' & 'Battery' on the Home screen as they are very small on my o2 Stellar XDA

2. Are there any command line arguments that can be used with the 'settings.exe' file in the Utils directory so that a sub tab of Settings, say Connections, is opened?

3. Sometimes the Home screen isn't 'always on top' as the 'soft keyboard' icon occasionally appears on the bottom menu bar

4. Using the X in the top right hand corner of the screen to minimise the Home screen to access the 'Today' screen is short lived as the Home screen re-appears after about 1 second.

5. In 'Settings - Home clocks', what should the check box 'Back arrow' do as it doesn't appear to change anything?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 12gage:
I used one of the theme packages on ssj5trunks site, then in setting you can change the background/font colors to whatever you like. Hope that helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
1. For now no, i work in future

2. I dont know if there is an argument for it

3. It's a windows mobile problem that go on top of my program, i check it

4. Create a link icon to the utils folder to Minimize.exe and it minimize correctly, for the future i add some option for it

5. Back arrow is a graphical back arrow for analog clock

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
simo -- someone asked this way back in the thread:

In the 1.x versions of iFonz, I could set the number of pages I wanted, and they would pre-populate with [ + ] icon place-holders.... which is very helpful when you have lots of apps and utilities. It lets you organize apps added into logical groupings, for exmaple, "i want all my configuration tools on page 3 of iFonz"

This is missing in version 2.x ... and I hope you bring that back. It is much easier to bypass empty pages with a finger-swipe across, then it is to create a new page adding icons one at a time. When placeholders are there, they help intuitively arrange the locations on the screen where certain apps or utilities appear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
+1: would like this one as well
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I bypass this problem adding transparent icon in pages.

If you add a blank program (no name, no file, no argument only blank png) in configurator u can use it to fill the pages, i use this method to fill page and group applications.

Test it.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Okay but don't I still need to fill a complete page before I can create a new page? In version 1, you could select how many pages you want. This was so simple & intuitive. I don't mind if I have to manually add, add, add, add, add, add, add blank icons... but I don't want to add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, then go to a new page, then add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, add, then go to a new page, etc.

I don't see any reason, as an end user, why you cannot enable something similar to version 1, so I can have lots of spaces to fill, and fill them as I organize my own thinking... For me, with version 1, I always set my top right icon to be a "next page" arrow, and beginning on page 2, all top-left icons were "previous page" icons, which you had created built-in, as a "type" of icon.

Even though I could swipe my finger across, left or right, for me, I would know, "I have my ultilities on page 3", so it was super fast for me to hit top-right, top-right -- and I am there... ergonomically easier and efficient navigation. I also recall that you were going to try to make the dots that represented page #s to be hot-linked so I could jump to page 3 by tapping the dot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
I think to an solution, but this new version of iFonz is more similar to iPhone UI in some cases.

Bye
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] burnlea:
Hi quicksite

I like the idea of the 'next page' & 'previous page' icons on the program pages. Finding suitable icons is no problem, but could you post the 'link' information (what appears in the Link field for both of them on the Programs list page of the Settings utility) as I can't find the details anywhere. Many thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Babsi:
Hi,

but I don't get that running on my Samsung SGH-i780. Does anyone of you already did that? Problems: too large in both: VGA and QVGA, minimize does just work one time. After softreset it is also away. Always a small part on the right side is missing, just cut off and I can use the original theme also ifonz is running. I don't know what's wrong. So thanks for help.

After installing I also can't use Active Sync anymore.

Babsi
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
Out of memory

Again, as in old ifonz, the out of memory nightmare. I cannot anymore move, add, rename: ifonz crashes going out of memory. The culprit? Too many transparent icons to switch pages (20 icons each, since i have WVGA), i guess (since before adding them all was ok). So, the transparent icon thing is not a good idea.

My config.dat is attached for test purpose.

icons used are HERE, since it's impossible to up them to xda.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
I have not yet gotten deep enough into iFonz 2 to figure out these basics. So I don't have the links/parameters. In iFonz 1, whenever a new icon was added, when you assigned it an application and an icon, you also would assign its "TYPE" of application... i.e., Email, or Phone, or Contacts, and there there were a few other specialty types like "next page", "previous page". Those choices were made, in iFonz 1, where you decided whether the icon-tap would invoke animation or no animation.

I have no idea how it works in iFonz 2.

simo, I am still confused by the huge difference between your very first iFonz 2 version and then your April versions. They are totally different applications. Which means there was the iFonz 1 series, then the iFonz 2 beta series, and then the current iFonz 2 series.

iFonz 2 beta had the pages pre-set-up with icons assigned to the most common apps... And you could drag them around the page and insert them wherever you wanted. In this mode, the icons all were in slight movement to indicate it was EDIT mode vs FUNCTIONAL mode.

With iFonz 2 current series, you scrapped the whole idea of starting out with a page of pre-configured icons, so it was really really easy to get started quickly. I am just giving feedback that, even if this newer version is closer to the real iPhone user interface, I think the ideas you were using on iFonz 2 beta were more advanced, and seemed easier to set up.

this is just feedback, nothing negative.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
When i have more spare time, i think to rewrite the engine of program, because now i'm at death point, because there is a structural problem for adding more functions(background, animation to icons etc...) to programs page.

Now all page are bmp and if anyone see out of memory error i think the problem is in it, when i redraw all time these bmp before i dispose its but if there are too big the ppc go in error.

I search a good solution for resolve this problem, i need more time to analyze the problem.

Bye

P.S.

For QuickSite:

To create a preconfigured first page need only a settings.dat presetted with the first iPhone page icons to distribuite. :cool:

I do this choice to give total command to user for adding his programs. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bbonzz:
cool. in the meanwhile, anyway, ifonz is usable: once configured and the icons moved manually, it works.

Oh, Simo: another missing feature is the "round-cycle" scroll. I mean: now it's no more possible to turn from first to last page and vice versa, while it could be useful
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
In new version you can go to first to last page and vice versa with Enter Key of PDA.
