Wktask is my favorite task manager since it is "icon-friendly" and echoes the windows desktop taskbar. I've never had it crash or slow down. one of the best apps period, in my book. Though people either love it or hate it.

But teacher, a question at large: I am using a T-Mobile wing, which is not a fast processor and minimal RAM. iFonz 1 ran fine on the wing, swift. But iFonz 2, this 2.0.3.0 version, has been so slow it has made it practically unusable for me. That is why i have asked about the speed of simo's next rev. The sticking point: launching any app via iFonz added up to 5 seconds of delay time before the selected app, let's say Total Commander for example, actually opened. But if I used the start menu (quickmenu) and selected Total commander from there, the app began it's open process instantaneously.

I know we are all long past reporting the probs with 2.0.3.0 -- but i am trying to set my expectations properly:

Did anyoine else have this lag effect using iFonz? If not, then the next rev may be too resorce intensive for my little old phone to use, which would be sad, because the functionality is the best. Dramatically improves my productivity and speed in doing stuff wuth my pohine, like instantly finding Google Maps... but 2.0.3's lag time has defeated all the visual strengths of iFoinz... so i am hoping hoping hoping...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
I'll certainly have a look at Wktask, thx for the tip. About the speed issue, I don't understand because for me it has been opposite. Ifonz1 was dogslow on my htc x7510, to the point of being useless in the long run because it would just bug the hell out of you. Ifonz2 is so much better on my phone so even if I sometimes experience gluey screens and have to use a ramcleaner utility, I'm very pleased with Ifonz2. Onthe other hand much as I love my beautiful 5 inch screen x7510 it is very slow with many apps ifonz or no ifonz. the preinstalled audiomanager takes between 10-15 seconds to start. Google Maps opens in just a couple of seconds though.

But i've started to read up on flashing a new rom for my phone, but it seems kind of scary to me. But still it seems pretty tempting, because people report speedier phones with these custom roms maybe because a lot of the crud (f.ex the Welcomecenter) is removed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Yes the problem is the Installed Rom.

In my Diamond i have the original HTC last rom, but i think if i install another Custom Rom with less default applications all go more speedly.

To Quicksite:

Thank you so much man, that you spent the the time to explain the basics of flashing for me. You're a good friend to have, yet again!

This is exactly my problem, I read and I read and I can't seem to find good information overview articles on f. ex which rom to install, what the difference is between the roms and many other small things, but slowly I feel I'm getting closer to go for it. But I'll continue to read and maybe if I'm close and there's some issuses left that I feel unsure about maybe I can PM you and see if you can enlighten me on whatever is the problem. If this works out then I'll be really pleased. It means that with a little effort you can take a standard wm phone (dull as dishwater)and make it so much better, with the help of Ifonz, Xda-developers and the helpful people you meet in these forums

iFonz 0.5.0 crashes on Omnia

I've tried setting it up several times and i've finally nailed down what does it,

When i add a wallpaper to the program pages (a basic .jpg that i've used as a wallpaper for the ifonz 1.*) it boots up and gives me this error:

iFonz2.exe

OverflowException

heres some examples of the debug data, let me know if you need them all

at iFonz2.Icons.Draw(Graphics& g)

at iFonz2.Icons.DrawBmp()

ect ect.

so let me know if theres anything you want me to do to help. I love your app!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pipe22:
thanks... another question.. lol

thanks for your help. this sib icon editor is a .exe file, how do i make it work in my phone? i try downloading it to my laptop and then compressed into zip file and then transfer it to my phone but i doesnt work like that. i also dwnload it directly to my phone and doesnt work either. what is the best way to install the sib icon editor into my phone?

thanks a lot!

by the way my whole problem is that i have a treo pro so is 320x320 so the ifonz screen is incomple in my phone because all the graphics that comes with the app are 240x320.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
Re:thanks... another question.. lol

The icon editor is not for your phone, it is for your pc. You resize the graphic you need resized and then put them back on the phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johnhedge:
I think the idea is to use the icon editor on your PC. Copy the icons over from your phone and edit them there before reversing the process.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WildAce786:
Hey guys,

before I try out this program, I had a few questions:

1. Since i have a Touch Pro, do i need to disable TF3D in order to use / activate iFonz?

2. Will I be able to simultaneouslly run / use both TF3D and iFonz (that is, while in iFonz, can i hit the Home button and return to TF3D?

Thanks in advance.

Question about program icons of home buttons

Hello over there!

Anyone not sitting outside and enjoying the sunday sun?

I just tried iFonz2 the first time and I read all of this thread. Did I miss to read why there is a difference with the program's icons between inserting links into the program windows and inserting (links to) programs as a new home button?

Normally (on the program window) you show and use the original icon of the linked program. On the home button you don't. It is crazy to extract the original icon from the exe, resize it and link it explicitley to the home button.

Or did I make something wrong?

Thanks for your tip!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] packers1981:
Why am I not seeing icon pictures come up now like in version 0.3 when I go to change the icon?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
RE:Question about program icons of home buttons

I speak only for myself here, and I'll tell you my motivation for changing icons. The icons which come with different windows apps are all very different in size and shape and theme. If you only use the icons which come with the exe files when you install, you'll end up with a messy and in my opinion very ugly result. An example is the big, red, ugly, pixelated hands you get with Tomtom. On my 5 inch screen they look horrible. Some of us have chosen to gather/make our own set of icons with a much more uniform look and size. You can see mine on page 21 of this thread.

My motivation for using Ifonz is that I think that it has far superior functionality to the generic winmob user interface, at the same time if I wanted an Iphone I would have bought one, I really don't want one. So my setup keeps the functionality of Ifonz but takes a step away from looking like an Iphone wannabe. By using my own icons and icons which are more square in style than the ones used by Iphone my phone is sending a message that I have the superior Iphone functionality but I don't try to pretend that I have an iphone.

In my icons I have used black as a background which is fine for me because I prefer to use black as the background on the program pages.

The home screen on the other hand is blue and I have chosen to have a transparent background to the icons I use for the home screen that way you don't get corners in the wrong colours. The developer ssj5trunks has chosen to use a slightly different size icons on the homescreen and I have followed this (see page 31)

As far I know Ifonz work on all modern winmo devices but they come with very different screen sizes and therebye there is a need for resizing icons so they can fit different screensizes.

The good part is that you don't have to do this yourself unless you choose to because me and many others have provided sets of icons that you can use free of charge.

simo, thank you, great work

I was waiting to first install the brand new ROM for my T-Mobile Wing device, did that last night, then installed 0.5.0 onto it.

The first surprise i was greeted with was that all my config info from 0.3.0 was preserved, and the home screen appeared with the colors and font sizes and icons i had labored to get right in prior version. Ditto on the programs pages... the layout and icons were all there...

The whole time since seeing your new video, I thought I would have to use that new SUPER-ADD sequence to re-setup my phone.

This surprise saved me hours! thank you.

And the performance is great. For me, either due to my prior ROM, or some other factor, ifonz had run like a dog, with long delays before opening apps. Not so now. Speedy responses... After 3 years, 3 long years, I feel I finally have a functional touchscreen phone that's finger friendly, visually smart in its layout, and fast.

I never cared to emulate an iphone. Fact is though that apple nailed the user experience with their paradigm, and iFonz gives me that.

ONE SUGGESTION: Could you create an option that lets me slide to programs pages in the opposite direction you have defaulted.

For whatever reason of how my brain is wired, i am sliding from left side of screen to right, expecting to advance to next page. But instead i have to slide right side to left, which is so unnatural for me.

If it is an easy solve, it would be great to add a preference for "slide pages right?" or "slide pages left".

Also i wonder about sensitivity settings. i would say 80% of the time in my trying to slide to a new page, i instead have activated an icon/app on the page. i don't have a heavy touch either; pretty light actually.

that's it, thanks very much. this is the first time i have now felt i could walk away from this site and use my phone as is until it dies. it finally "just works".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:

Just a quick note that I made a mistake

when I said yesterday that iFonz 0.5.0 retained all my settings, etc.

What I failed to realize is that in my Programs menu i hit the wrong version of iFonz. I hiot the 0.3.0 version.. and what I was seeing is what I thought was the new app, but it wasn't. I just thoughtit was new because i'd flashed to a new superfast rom for my phone, and so everything has been speedy.

i had installed iFonz 0.5.0, but have not yet run it...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] teacher1960:
Re:Just a quick note that I made a mistake

But I did run 0.5.0 and it did retain my old setting so they must at the very least be transferable from 0.3.0
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Pda23:
.03 to .05

Seamless really, exit out of v.03. Copy the 2 x settings files from the .03 file and paste them into the v.05 folder. NOTE: I first open the v.05 ifonz and make a change to the settings, anything will do. This will create a set of settings files, which are then overwritten when you copy in the v.03 files. Restart the v.05 and all should be retained from the previous version.

I have an interesting side note here. Playing with my background home screen, I noticed that when I created a 240x400 for my omnia, my graphic was squished a bit. This was due to the windows task bar at the top taking up 25 pixels, hence the 400 was being resized to 375 and distorting the image. Thus, I created a 240x375 image for my background that fit perfectly (no distortion). However, now with the new option in v05 to not display the task bar, the full 240x400 can be used.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TTJB:

I'm not sure there IS a problem.

I made a mistake in accidentally launching version 0.3.0 because the link in my Start Menu Programs Folder for "iFonz" was to the 0.3.0 version.

But then when I realized i was not in the new 0.5.0 version I closed the other one and launched 0.5.0 .... And it looks like I have to go through the setup process selecting all my apps. MY QUESTION IS: Will the 0.5.0 software recognize and use the last settings file I had for the 0.3.0 version?

If so, where do I copy & paste that 0.3.0 settings file so that it populates 0.5.0 with all my app selections, layout and icons?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ssj5trunks:
Quicksite extract new version over old version and all goes ok.

All icons default image are saved in "iconscache" and "contactscache" folders in the iFonz directory.

If you extract new version in another folder and copy only the setting.dat all goes ok until you don't delete the old folder, you understand?

Because in your setting.dat are stored the old path of image icons.

The best thing is to overwrite the old version with the new.

In the next release i want restore the Bottom Bar with the icons and the menu press on the screen where you want.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Thanks Simo. I think I understand. The way I usually install files on my phone from my PC, I unzip the files on my PC and copy the EXTRACTED files to my phone. Most apps, as you know, are within .cab files, so then on my phone I launch cab files to install. But with iFonz, the extracted files are the executables and related files, and therefore do not register themselves within any Programs folder or Start menu.

So, in this situation I have the 0.3.0 folder, and the 0.5.0 folder both on my phone in a parent folder i just call "ifonz". So, is this correct:

Copy/Paste the 0.5.0 executables into my existing 0.3.0 folder on my phone ?

And are there other files to copy and overwrite into my 0.3.0 folder?

AFter I follow your directions, I will delete the 0.5.0 folder, and rename the 0.3.0 folder to be 0.5.0

will this work correctly?

Thank you very much. Very excited to have a phone that will finally work properly.

When I installed 0.5.0 i just overwrote my 0.30 install but I "okayed" the overwriting of one file at the time so it wouldn't overwrite my settings file. When the installation was finished everything was perfectly set up like before. This should mean that you probably can just copy your settings file from your 0.3.0 to 0.5.0
