I was actually thinking about something like this about a month or two ago.... i watched the vs studio videos on it and it just started looking like it was a little above my level for the amount of time i had :D Good luck on the project!

To those of you worried about cosmetics...

Right now we have the control to customize about 50 to 60 percent of the ui. With a custom build of wince, everything is 100% customizable (because we have access to the source code.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] domineus:
I like customizability but I have no clue on where to begin ><

that would be the sucky part...but if it is touted to be better and faster than win ce 5.0 it would be something I am willing to try
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Hung0702:
Am I one of the few people who only use the default theme? It's not resource intensive and thus runs really snappy. I don't have any problem with simple text and a green theme. Unless someone can port the SnapVUE home screen to the Diamond, I'll just stick with all defaults.

I have this problem too, and even after Finger Keyboard 2, it still changes back after soft reset.

I don't know if we'd need to change that timeout setting. It's not clear how to do that.

My phone thinks hedphones are plugged in always. i never use the headphone slot. dont know why this has happend. it has not been dropped. i have done a hard reset.

Using dutty 1.9 rom

Any ideas?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hardqs:
The headphone slot is secure there is no dust... is it a hardware fault? i have had the device for 4 months now, never had an issue...

dont understand....:(
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] the_ape:
Had this issue after installing a screen protector (one of the liquid attach ones), All I did to fix was push in and pull out a headphone 10-15 times, and it cleared, think something arced across the detection terminals.
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hardqs:
Thanks for the reply no luck :( will keep trying... next step do it send it back? will they fix it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hardqs:
can the connection terminal short? how for down is it?
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] ryoojin83:
Have you checked to see if it was software prob?

hard reset? flash stock ROM? you would have to do this before sending it back anyway... :-)
[Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development] Hardqs:
Well after 2 weeks of plugging my headphones its still dead.

Last 2 days starting to come alive again. trick is to pull the headphones out when its off, sometimes comes back, but hoping it will corrected itself, or maybe rain sweat got into it and needs to dry.

Just reporting here in case anyone in the future hits this wall and doesnt want to send it bck.

doesnt look like a perminant fault yet...

sounds back for now, back to flashing.... L26 v9.0 coming and kwbr V2 and and Dutty 2.1 ahhh which one ... which one!:confused:

Hey guys,

I really to remove some of my phone carrier's branding from underneath the word "start" and also in the main navigation menu.

Which is the easiest way to go about doing this?

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Zuzler:
Hi,

simply flash a ROM of your choice and you'll get rid of all brandings.

Regards,

Zuzler
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bumclouds:
thankyou.

I updated the rom using "Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex".

But no go :( it's still the same...
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] gwabell:
That's the HardSPL that you updated, it allows you to flash any ROM. Now you need to actually flash the ROM. You can go for a cooked one or just the HTC WWE ship version, neither will have carrier branding.

Request features on CodePlex: http://www.codeplex.com/iContactAE/Thread/List.aspx

I will not fix bugs that are NOT in CodePlex (maybe). :-) Sorry, but CodePlex just makes life much easier!

If anybody out there wants to help me, please PM me. I can easily add new people as contributors to the codeplex project. I really want help with this project!!! Thanks!

Overview

iContact AE is a branch of iContact, specifically branched from the final code by truburt that belonged to iContact BE.

CodePlex

iContact AE development is hosted on Microsoft's CodePlex. http://iContactAE.codeplex.com

Screenshots

Coming soon...

Skinning Guide

Needs to be updated and moved off Burt's site, but until then, here it is!

User Contributed Skins

Voyd Black (VGA) - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=543255

To Do

- Finger friendly configurator: Make sure all options are available in it

- Consistent number formatting (maybe) so it all shows up as (xxx) xxx-xxxx

- Suffix in details view too

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

- Category selection menu is not very friendly...

- Make use of HTC sensors - maybe the wheel can quickly scroll through the list and swiping left to right can change which number is in the list

- Customize order of items in bottom menu

- Details view needs a scroll bar just like the main view

- When doing a keyboard letter jump and then immediately going into a T9, it will still jump around by scrolling instead of being instant.

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

Current Version: 7.0.6

I think that if this Avian edition were to combine BE with the other version's new ability to retain the windows titlebar, it would be the absolute perfect version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Great. :)

Keep us posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Erm???

B.E. *IS* able to retain the windows titlebar.

It is much simpler than the other version, since in BE you just have to say so in the config program.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Hey, this is great news!

I was just looking at the Trubert thread today, disappointed that another new Supbro version had just been released and Burt's edition falling further behind... and was very happy to see you are taking over the development.

Best of luck, and looking forward to seeing what you come up with. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Less branding would be wonderful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] md_bluelily:
I have my hands crossed for you.

Thanks for sharing the source code.

Best Wishes,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
Yes, that will be one of the first things I do.

Sorry, Burt! :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
The first step will be finishing the nearly finished Burt's 7.0. He says it's 90% done. Actually, from my testing, the app IS done, it's the finger-friendly config app that needs to be finished, which shouldn't be hard since its mostly just filling in settings. It looks like the engine is (mostly?) done.

Unfortunately, I'm slightly embarrassed to admit, I'm not a super-savvy C++ developer. I'm a super-savvy .Net developer, so getting a handle on some of the C++ stuff will take me time. That's part of the reason I want to solicit as much developer help as possible from others. I would love it if this could be a project with four or five developers working in tandem to add lots of cool new features at a faster pace than in the past. Plus, obviously, having the source code publicly available helps "keep it in the community" should I disappear someday and somebody else want to create their own branch. ;-)

As for an exact date, I don't want to say because then people will say "HEY YOU HAVEN'T RELEASED YET" hahaha. ;-)

Give me some weeks to get a handle on this. I'm working on other projects as well, so my time committment will vary. But if we get more developers, the development will go quicker. That is certain.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
Talk to Daniel Herrero (the CommMgrPro guy)...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dingolino:
But please keep showing the version number.

Me personaly I had no problems that at the end of the list there is listed who made it.

dingolino
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NLS:
But Burt didn't make it. Burt took over the old source too.

Of course this must remain in the documentation, but I don't see why it should be mentioned IN the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
It will be a configurable option. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
You are right. I should have been more clear on that. But for the version coming out, the NEW stuff will be 99% Burt, so we should remember who did the work! The version number will be optional on the screen (default: on), so you can keep it or not. The version number will also be available in the config.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Drybonz:
Most programs list this stuff on an about screen. Never saw any reason to have it cluttering up the most commonly viewed screens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lilleolov:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] harpum:
Do you how to add new phone number to existing contacts?

Basic program support this function well.

But when I try to add new phone number, icontact only show me new contact form.

So I need to go back to basic program to add new number to existing number.

After I add it, call history does not change. It still show me just phone number, not contact info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azahidi:
iContact AE uses the default Contact fields to edit contacts. It just modifiies the displays from the default contact. So if you press edit (bottom middle) icon of a particular contact, it invokes the default (windows) contact edit.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] supbro:
I just tried out iContact AE for the first time, it's very nice. I really like the smart search function of the call logs! I think that's good enough to replace the jump button on the contacts tab as well. How do you handle different languages on the phone keypad? It's very smooth scrolling too. Nicely done.

Failure with Samsung Omnia

Hey ,

i've just posted my problem on this the Codeplex forum but maybe somebody here can help me... Here the link to my article : http://icontactae.codeplex.com/WorkItem/View.aspx?WorkItemId=3143

If you know a solution , you can also post it here , i will check both sites.

Thanks !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] white_nigger:
basketerke, Why do you use sim-contacts? Sim doesn't support many features (ringtones, photos, etc). I have Omnia and I moved all contacts from sim to pocked outlook and disabled loading contacts from sim in iConfig. And now I don't have any problem with iContact
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] basketerke:
Because i once had to hard reset my omnia and i lost the phone numbers which were on the phone memory. If you import them and you do a hard reset , you still have them on your sim. But if you always use the phone memory , the new numbers you will add will be gone with a hard reset. So just for being sure i use my sim. And for some people i insert them in my phone memory (to add a picture etc ..). So the problem still rests. With the latest burt edition i can use my sim numbers and my phone memory together. Sometimes i have dubbel numbers (because of adding a picture) but i don't mind that. The only thing is i would like to have that with icontact AE ...

Grts
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] white_nigger:
I see. But I did the hard reset several times during update a firmware and all my contacts still alive because I always have a backup copy of all my important information. There are many tools for it, including MS ActiveSync. Anyway sim is not the safest way to store an information. It can be lost or stolen (with phone)...

Regards

PS: But anyway you are right - bug must be fixed :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] webazoid:
how do u search for contacts in this version? i try typing but it doesn't work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] azahidi:
Search for contacts

Long press the A-Z (bottom right) icon and it will give a search function.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
The main difference between supbro's variant of iContact and Burt's version of iContact -- now continuing forward as iContact AE -- is that Burt's (this one) includes thumbnail photos of your contacts in the contact list.

Supbro specifically does not choose to give any option for photos in LIST-VIEW. I've asked before if this is a definitive choice for his development branch of iContact, and he has said YES. Meaning: iContact .93 is part of the Supbro line of versions -- and it will NEVER OFFER photos in List view.

Thus, for anyone who likes thumbnail images to cue them visually as they scroll down a list, THIS is the version to choose. ... which is why it is fantastic that thx1200 has taken over development of this branch of iContact. I am a usability designer/ information designer, and I think it would end all confusion between the two branches of this GREAT application suite if this version were named in a more straightforward descriptive way. In this world of rapidly expanding phone application development, name appendages like "AE" don't help distinguish versions.

I would recommend, if it follows the open soure protocols, that it be named something more like:

iContact Pix, version 1

or

iContax -- to completely separate the branding of the different strains.

Best practices in product naming is to make it bulletproof clear when you are distinguisging between confusing product lines. I am so thankful to thx1200 for taking up the development of Burt's Edition of iContact. I think it's time to solve this confusion issue once and for all, before Windows Mobile Marktplace is fully up and running.

I'd be interested in seeing who agrees -- and who doesn't -- and why. Thank you all!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] madbird:
hi,

there are a lot of diferences beside the name, between the versions. one thing ist size, BE (6.45 and Beta7) is <500kb, and AE is around 1 mb. another thing is screen resoulution, BE 645 is big fingerfriendly, BE7beta is highres. AE7 the user can choose, by selecting a theme. so to me the are more different than just the names... personaly im back at BE 6.45 after using 6.3 a long time, and trying AE and BEBeta7 for a day

regard m.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v5HMeca:
Not sure if you're still using this, but this seems to be your answer:

Browse to the settings file (\Program Files\iContact AE\settings_[Q]VGA.ini).

Using a text editor (you can copy this file to your computer if you don't have a text editor on your phone), edit the file.

This is the setting you want to change:

;When enabled, SIM contacts will also be shown in Contact List
ShowSimContacts=0

Change that to 1, and you should be good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] v5HMeca:
Nobody said that the differences are in-name-only. Quicksite was proposing that the name be changed to better distinguish it from the other iContact derivatives that are out there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
Yes, I understand, madbird. What I am proposing is not retroactive naming; I am talking about specifically starting with thx1200's first release of the branch of iContact BE 6.45 / 7.0 beta, which he has currently named iContact AE. My whole suggestion is based on a "from here on" approach so that there is no further need to have to clarify (as has been done in this thread, and any other thread about iContact),

I would be interested in other perspectives and opinions. It's obviously not up to me.. but I am speaking from a branding and product differentiation point of view. There is no doubt that when people, new and veteran site users, enter "iContact" into the search engines here, the results list does not always make it clear which version it is -- WITH photo-list, or without photo-list. It's for sure a huge distinction in user preference, otherwise there would never have been two different developer branches of it all last year, right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] quicksite:
oh, thanks for posting. I hadn't seen your post before I wrote my reply above :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lokosis:
Can anyone confirm that the "show SIM contacts" feature does not work by using the Checkbox inside the Config for iContact AE?

So, editing the file WILL turn it on?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
The file you want to edit is actually just settings.ini. The "QVGA" and "VGA" files are the default settings for both resolutions.

It's easy to tell if the config app is not working. Make a change, then edit settings.ini and see if it changed. :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thx1200:
I like this idea. Sort of how Task Facader sprung forth from Dynamo.

I wish I had more time for this project to really develop on it like how supbro developes on his.

More developers wanted!!!

The next version (which will be out in a week or two) has some great new features by another contributor. That will make up the bulk of the release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] addicus:
If the developer likes the idea, so do I. I'm looking forward to next weeks update and a name change eventually.
