[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Well then you will be happy to learn that I am using GSPlayer/MAD as the underlying audio engine, which is what Nitrogen and MortPlayer both use. In my tests so far, it definitely lags the system less than PocketPlayer. And this is in debug mode, so I'm hoping for more when I compile optimized...

In order to meet license compliance with SHOUTcast, I had to develop a plug-in system for the library, so theoretically, anybody could develop a library plug-in interface with third party services, as long as in the end, a file or URL can be fed to the engine for playback. SHOUTcast support requires the SHOUTcast code to be closed source, so since the reset of Avian Play is open source, I had to separate the code sources using a plug-in system.

That should be pretty easy. I seem to remember seeing separate L/R volume controls in the GSPlayer library -- I'll double check.

Ooh. That's a great idea. Not sure if that's in the library I'm using or not. I don't think it is. Either way, I think I could probably add it easily enough. Won't be a version 1 feature, but that is a good idea.

LOL. Nope. I'm a Windows Phone guy. Besides, the whole thing (except the audio engine) is developed on VB.Net with heavy dependencies on proprietary technologies like SQL CE. There's really no easy way to translate that into regular Java, let alone the proprietary implementation of Java on Android. And translating the GSPlayer/MAD engine into Java would actually be completely impossible because it's native Win32 C++ code.

But I know you were half-kidding, I just want to make sure nobody else gets any ideas that I might. lol.

It's time to nominate thx for a 2009 XDA Devvy Award !

I have taken the lead to move along an idea that, turns out, someone posted about in March 2008: the idea of having recognition awards for outstanding achievement in app & rom & skin development at XDA. Now that Android has so rapidly matured to become a major competitive platform to Windows Mobile, iPhone, RIM, the mobile phone app culture has exploded. As such, it's time, I feel, to recognize great achievements here at XDA -- and not next year, but this year.

See this thread and add your nominations in several categories:

NOMINATIONS: 1st Annual XDA Devvy Awards - for Outstanding Achievement

....... thank you .......

Don't agree! Works pretty fine with the last iContact AE. Only issue: When you open the iContact alphabet letters (right button on the bottom) from within iDialer, the screen looks a bit messed up - but working. And when you have the last calls opened in iContact, then go to iDialer, then go back to iContact last calls, it should not toggle the view.

Thanks for this great app! Can't live without it - really :)

is it possible to creat a shortcut to one's contacts like subros version does? i tried editing the .lnk file but it only opens icontact ae, not the contact.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] d1maier:
Using a different contact editor

Hello, i use icontact since a long time, as i think its one of the best contact management tools.

As I use only finger friendly software on my Omnia I would like to use a differnt program to edit the contacts.

When opening iContacts detail view and press the edit contact button (at the bottom middle button) it starts the WinMobile default contact editor, which is not finger friendly at all.

I would like to have here a own editor (eg. SECContact Lite, which is very finger friendly and has a good contact editor )

Does somebody know how to change that if its possible at all.

Is there an option to add an unknown number into an existing contact via icontactae? Tapping on the "add" icon brings up the outlook "new contact" screen, and I couldn't find an easier way to do it, any help would be great.

Hi,

do you know how to arrange the phone number?

In your skinning example there is the name and BELOW the name there is the corresponding phone number.

Conrad, Hermes

6654...

But in the skins I have the phone number aside the name:

Conrad, Hermes 6654...

I would like to have the 1st Option as shown in the skinning guide.

Best regards,

Indeed. The "about" screen is... ehm... about the only place any version and author info is needed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] princegoro:
Thx man and good luck:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaBo:
I'm pleased to see that someone takes over furter development of this great piece of software.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lokosis:
I've gone through many contact programs, and have settled on iContact BE for a long time now, its surely the best. Congratulations thx1200 and good luck in the future in improving this great app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
It would be good if icontacts and idealer became one program. I think it would work better . But you should talk with the developer of idealer for this.. Just an idea. Good luck . :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
I disagree. Then all people that want to keep the stock dialer or some other dialer, will carry unnecessary "weight".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chavonbravo:
Oops, didn't notice this, now it's perfect, thanks.

This can be done easily by hex-editing the .exe file. Just look for "iContact Burt Edition %s" with the hex editor and replace all the letters for spaces. Also do the same for "beta" a few bytes afterwards. Then depending on whether your rom is certmod patched or not, you need to unsign and sign the .exe file. I only needed to do the hex-edit and now it's really the perfect version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spupuz:
could be very cool like now is iconsoft phone extension.

:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Syd159:
An option to use the wallpaper from the today screen (or adding your own one) would be nice. It would complement my themes very well.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
So since 7 beta was almost finished... are we any close to release?

(somebody had to ask)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Davey101:
I'm hoping that was asked as a joke, rather than a failure to read the thread! :D

I'm pleased somebody is continuing with iContact BE/AE and it'll be especially good when there are skins for it too! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
forgot the smillies...

have some here: :) :D :P

Bug report for BE 6.45

I have confirmed that iContacts BE is the cause of this with another user.

With the "exit on action" option checked, calls initiated thru iContacts BE will INTERMITTANTLY cause the in-call screen to disappear.

Ideal functionality would be for "exit on action" to close iContacts when the call is initiated, but for the in-call screen to remain.

Thanks for reading.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toesucker:
a few requests.

1. In T9 mode (when you are searching characters in the middle of the word), please add an option to change the order in which the languages are shown. I need English and Russian T9, but I want to have an English interface for the program. Currently, if I have an English interface and enter the T9 search mode, T9 is shown in Russian first, so I have to do an extra click to change that to English. This is annoying.

2. Please redo the details section. I would like to see the dates (birthday and anniversary) in one section with SMALL icons, rather than to see birthday under the name and anniversary next to a huge notepad icon.

3. If you are going to remove "advertisement" line, please make it possible to see the current version, cause currently the advertisement line is the only place where you can see the current version of the program.

4. Launching options from within the program is a must.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Bug report in BE 7 beta...

When launching the dialer from dialer button on the buttons bar in iContacts BE the SIP appears over the keypad hiding button on the dialer.

Desired effect would be to not have the SIP there at all.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
+1 (in fact now that I use BE with sensor enabled, it works better, but did what you say in the last iContact BE beta)

thx are you on this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
@thx1200

Many thanks for the keep alive meassage. I guess alot of people have waited for this :D

>- More actionable details items (google maps for address?)

This would be great (you mean to send somebody from the adress list the gps position and a link to with this position of google maps?)

please send also the plain gps data (or the standard positioning data).

Another nice feature would be to include into iContact something like

http://www.send-contact.com/

To send somebody contact informations is always quite unconvinient

Best regards

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
also incorporation of the gsensor code (already available in the "other version" and B.E. edition custom build)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Thanks for the update thx. Can't wait to see the first avian version. Very excited about this project. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
XDA crashing killed all the activity on this thread including the links. I'll edit more later when I get a chance (sigh) but for the time being, iContact AE is available for download in its first beta (7.0.3). Enjoy.

http://icontactae.codeplex.com
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lokosis:
Only problem I've had with the Beta is it installing the QVGA version onto my VGA device. So I'm back to BE for now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
I would just like to point out that scrolling is not smooth... hope it is changeable

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] defamed01:
After installing, it didn't make icontact AE my default contact manager on my Vogue. When I hit the All People softkey on M2D, the stock contact manager comes up. Otherwise, I the first beta is good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
+1 a great first release... also does not take over as the default contacts manager on my Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Just FYI, I know it got yanked from the first post (I'm about to add it back), but please post all bugs on CodePlex. Much of what was posted is already there. If it's already there, vote it up. :-) Codeplex makes bug tracking a million times easier! Especially if I get a "team" on this, instead of just lowly old me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Although auto-choosing the display mode is nice, it's very easy to fix, no need to go back. lol. Go into config and then select a VGA skin. that's it! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Can you please be more specific? Is it less smooth than BE? What do you mean by "smooth?" Does the screen refresh very slowly or something? Or does the scrolling not respond the way you like as far as touch is concerned?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4D3:
hi,

is there any screen shots of this?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ptewari@gmail.com:
Problem ..... needs to be resolved.

Great application ................ only one feature needs to be added (I only I have not missed it out somehow). Another version of iContact allows one to go the "Category" view by scrolling on the "Contact" screen ............... very helpful if you have a large number on Contacts. Would be really great if this is added.

otherwise perfect application !!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I don't really understand the request. You can go from favorites/category to all contacts and back by tapping the icon on the bottom of the screen. That's pretty quick and finger friendly. What are you describing exactly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] moddin:
Any screenshots of what is looks like???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebranded:
Same here, and yes i have posted on codeplex and voted :D

Is there a reg hack/work around we can do untill the next version?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maeffjus:
I need this reg-hack or whatever too, since I started using the first Burt-Edition, I avoid under all circumstances using the onboard-contactmanager :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 4D3:
That is not a bug, you need to use something like THIS to reassign the manila tabs.

problem is that this is currently not working for Rhodium manila.

this can be manually changed but i dont now what manila file to edit, if i can find this ill share!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maeffjus:
I'm not using manila..(P4350's CPU is to weak)..

So - where to hack :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebranded:
Its not a bug as such, but it is listed in codeplex as an "issue"

i too dont use Manila, i do have SPB shell, but that doesnt list icontact as a option for the soft keys.

Thx anyways
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sinoo:
Will try the new version! Will give feedback.

Thanks for taking over from truburt!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Making iContact AE default contact manager

From truburt's FAQ... (still applies for AE)

Q: How to make iContact my default contact manager so it would open when I click Contacts key?

A: Either download and install iContact Softkey Mapper, or manually edit the registry: inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS, set parameter "1" to ""\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"" (double quotes are necessary).

Q: How to restore Contacts softkey to launch Pocket Outlook?

A: Either download and install Pocket Outlook Softkey Mapper, or manually edit the registry: inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS, set parameter "1" to "\Windows\poutlook.exe Contacts".

HOWEVER, instead of \Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe use \Program Files\iContact AE\iContact.exe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] addicus:
The link at Truburt Faq's is down. Could someone please post the iContact and Pocket Outlook softkey Mappers here. Greatly appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nuuuuts:
for changing the default contact manager to icontact, you do not need the double quotes. Tried it with the double quotes and received and error. Installed the mapicontacts.cab from truberts website and there was only one set of quotes, and changed to the correct path. Changed to single quotes and i'm up and running without a problem.

Thanks for continuing with the icontacts software!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Thanks for the note. I'll keep that in mind when I integrate the feature into the installer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thebranded:
hmm double quotes worked for me

icontacts AE is working great now :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mafioso:
Hi,

iContact AE dosen't exit on minimize. I have enabled exit on minimize and exit on action through the iContact config but still it dosen't exit though it does exit on action. I face the same problem with iContact BE v6.4.5 and 7.0beta also....can you look into it, plz ?

BTW i have an Asus p320 Windows Mobile 6.1 phone with me and I use the OK key on the phone to minimize the iContact...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Hmm... It exits for me using either the on-screen X button or the OK hardware button (actually, "back" on a touch pro, but afaik it maps the same as OK on all other devices since it's WM Pro and not WM Std).

Do you have any sort of app manager installed or does your device map the OK button to something different than normal?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
The biggest bug, IMO, right now is the one with "exit on action". Exit on Action really needs to function properly because one I initiate a call from iContact, the user should not have to manually close the app. It is a very important feature, IMO, but the fact that it causes the in-call screen to disappear is a big problem.

I have entered it as a bug on Codeplex, but just wanted to clarify on the problem that it is causing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Didn't have time to look at it yet. I'm busy! Give me time dude. :-)

I can't replicate the error here, so I will be completely shooting in the dark trying to fix it. See my comments on codeplex to your bug submission.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Just wanted to clarify... not meant as a nag...

I will check out your comments on Codeplex. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
No worries. I'll try to squeeze in some sort of workaround for 7.0.5.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dody:
Hey, No One have screen shot maker to show Us How is this Version :) !!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chihliouma:
It DOES work for me with "exit on action". I don't see any problem there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AcIdC0R3:
Good here...

Software is great! As for the 'Exit on Action' function. It works fine here. I'm using a Sprint HTC Touch Pro. Maybe the issue is model/brand specific.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] iggy:
Exit on Action also works for me. I think a great addition would be Minimize on Action since it is always in the background and loads extremely fast (since icontact does not eat so much memory and on diamond it is not an issue)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Post #37, at least one other user in this thread seems to have confirmed having this issue, as well as the other CDMA user I was able to have replicate the bug.

Not sure what the common factor would be for those that have experienced this issue.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nir36:
sorry for the late response.

what i mean is, that the scrolling is jumpy. it isn't fluent - graphicswise. BE is much more fluent... maybe you can see that for yourself if you have a VGA screen..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mafioso:
well i don't have app managers installed on my phone...the OK button on my phone minimize the iContact application, it still is running if I see it in Task Manager...It does close when I touch the X button( the X button is not actually visible when iContact is running, just touching at the upper right corner exits it)

Maybe OK button just brings the today screen on top of icontact not actuallly minimizing it that's why it dosen't exit :confused:

The supbro's version of iContact (v0.92) does exit on my phone with the OK button though...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
thx any plans to (re)add the already-out-there-available-to-use code that enables motion sensor use?

(you have seen the modified version of iContact BE that uses g-sensor haven't you?)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kbywg:
I second that. Takes less then 60 secs for a screen shot.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spupuz:
can you post some screenshot
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Peter73NL:
Guys , basically the screenshots from this are same as burt's , unless some skinning is done. I cant make em as I have just installed this as first custom app to my iOlite.

Attached is the dutch translation I made for it , as all my apps are dutch :D

Just change to dutch.lng
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] voyd:
hi,

Thanks for the apps, work fine for me, no probleme, fast and stable.

I made a little skin for vga, this is the v.1 if you like it the like is at the bottom....

Download

just copy the 2 files in the theme dir.

PS: do you think it will be possible to make the button's background transparente ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Thx, I would like to humbly suggest that the additional dialogs during installation that were added be removed and allow the user to select these options after install.

The dialogs during installation are an annoyance during a sashimi auto install.

Thank you for considering my suggestion.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tatnai:
will icontactBE 6.4.5 skins work in 7.0.4? I'm assuming not. . .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Not a bad idea. Please submit this idea on CodePlex if you have not done so already. Use the discussions for feature suggestions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
AE and BE are identical in code except for bug fixes. I have no idea why you are having graphics issues. It's working great for me. I have a VGA device. It's even smooth for me in the SDK emulator, which has notoriously slow GDI.

Are you absolutely sure BE is smoother?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Please submit on codeplex if you haven't. I'll double check to make sure it's properly listening for SW_MINIMIZE. If it already is, I don't know what else it could be off-hand.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
No, I have not. Please submit on codeplex and provide a link to the code and I will look into integrating.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Thanks! I will add this to the official distro in the next release. Do you have a dutch.clng for the config options?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I like that idea. I would like to implement it, but it may be quite a while as my plate is pretty full! Please submit the suggestion on codeplex.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'm sorry you find them annoying. I really like them A LOT! There will be reduced dialogs in the future as more of the installation process becomes "smart" and doesn't ask you things it can find out by querying the system, but there will never be zero dialogs. I'm trying to keep the distribution as unified as possible so it's less work for me.

However, another user wanted a .zip to be released along with the .cab. That's pretty easy because I'm just zipping up the folder structure. Would that work for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
It should.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AcIdC0R3:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Absolutely... would work great. Can just be installed via Sashimi auto root folder.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I'm not exactly sure since I don't use idialer, but I think you start in the advanced options where you can specify path to alternate apps. Maybe somebody else here can fill you in. It might also be worth scanning over the old BE threads.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Thanks for double checking. The bad thing is that I wouldn't have the first clue to where to look to help you because I'm still very new to the code and the scrolling is very fluid for me. :-(
