Hi

I wrote a little app called Fonebook which syncs your facebook friends photos into your outlook contacts - when you then sync with your phone you get the profile image.

Im looking at adding a few more features and possibly creating a "Pro" version to try and recoup the cost of the library Im having to use so I can get full sized images into outlook (the outlook api sucks!)

Im not sure which windows phone allow the caller id to be full screen (I know mine doesnt!) - if you know of anywhere I might be able to get a list of smartphones/pda's which support this could you point me in that direction please!

If you have any ideas for this type of application, or have any suggestions when it comes to creating a "pro" version of something as oppose to relying on donations could you please fill in this short survey: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s.aspx?sm=xOAJWNgBXsnGAopW7zqDNQ_3d_3d

Thanks for reading this (the current version of the app is here in case you are curious: http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=2442338999

Thanks

Ross

you might wanna take a look at s2u2 it's a iphone slider app which gives us wm touch screen users full screen caller id if there was a way for your app to resize the facebook pictures to the size of the screen wqvga, qvga, vga, wvga
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nuuuuts:
you may also want to look at skybook. I think it has a similar feature where it takes the profile picture from facebook and adds it to your contacts picture. I tried it once with skybook and it worked fairly well until I received errors with logging in, so I uninstalled it.

using the new facebook app from winmo 6.5 and don't have any issue logging in, only problem is that I can't update the photos like in skybook.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with.

good luck

I would also be interested in some way to sync the contact details from Facebook to WM.

people tend to keep facebook up to date with phone numbers email addresses etc, and it would be handy to have this information downloaded automatically.

EDIT: I see you have covered the fact that Facebook block this option on the page above, but I still think its a worthy idea and have joined the petition!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] talbotlives:
Fosimo was the only thing that I could get to work for syncing facebook data. My only complaint was that it added everyone's birthdays to my calendar...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Starslayer:
I like the idea behind this, however, I do not use outlook on my home pc.

Does this work without hooking your phone to your PC? I ask because I rarely ever sync my phone with my home PC, I do sync to my work PC but I don't sync the email, and it's a work pc, so no facebook there....

I know that new SPB mobile shell program does this but I really don't see a point in installing that and keeping it around just to sync outlook pictures. I prefer to use my touchflo that came installed on my phone. I just picked up a Fuze, my old phone was an 8525 and SPB was the best solution for it...

Is there a standalone program that would do the same thing?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] creiz:
You really should put a mirror of that file somewhere else, man. SkyDrive is being broken. I was searching for an app like that, saw Fonebook and OutSync. i don't care which one I get, i just want a link. Hors Skydrive, please.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] w1shmast3r:
well to be honest fonebook is the best app i saw so far for syncing facebook contact pics with outlook contacts.

i liked the feature to be able to choose manually which facebook contact corresponds to an outlook contact. (a missing feature to many other apps)

the only problem it has is that at the moment almost everyone use high resolution screen mobile phones with vga and wvga and the pics that sync with your app are very small and blurry when viewed in full screen incoming call apps like s2u2 that most people use. so a great addition to your app would be to add an option to download the contact pics to a chosen resolution that corresponds to vga/wvga/qvga/wqvga and to save the cashe somewhere in the pc even.

please keep this project up and running and update it asap :p
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] trinode:
Got a Topaz, and have TF3D (the touchy interface from HTC), set that up to sync image to facebook.

So My images go Facebook -> phone -> outlook

instead of Facebook -> outlook -> phone

Works for me.

Personally, I don't think there's much money to be made on this (a pro version) when newer phones have this built in, and there's already other good free apps out there, unless you can add some seriously impressive functions, and even then, the free competitors would soon add those same features.

Hope can syncs the high resolution pics in next version.

And is it cannot syncs the birthday if the user didn't type the birthday year?
[General Questions and Answers] Incredible-Dave:
My company just released a new addition of windows mobile (WM) based software. Before the release I decided that I would "anticipate" the release by purchasing an used HTC Mogul which the seller of the phone had installed WM 6.1 professional. Little did I know that my company requires 25 MB of program memory to be available when installing the software. I followed many of the suggestions made in other forum threads about "cleaning up" program memory but at best I couldn't get above 24 MB of program memory (i.e. oxios hibernate & MemMaid included). You can see how close I was, but I can't install this software without having ActiveSync running as well. Here are my questions:

1) Is there anyway to get the HTC Mogul program memory to be more than 25 MB? Total memory is almost 47MB. Does the system really take up that much program memory?

2) Is there any type of program that I could install that would show more memory than actually exists? Like a "Pseudo" program memory creating program.

What stinks is that my company requires you to activate your phone using desktop software while in activesync. My phone meets all minimum requirements but program memory. Anyone?:confused:
[General Questions and Answers] nir36:
I suggest (though i doubt it's possble) you search for a CLEAN rom for your titan..

the cleaner the better

flash it and hope it will use less program memory.

about the fake app.. i never heard of one.

I used to use MobileSwap on my Dell Axim X51v. It creates a swap paging file on the SD card just like Windows does. That was well over a year ago, I don't know if it's still being updated or anything, but it ran on WM5 fine, should be ok on WM6

-crobs808
[General Questions and Answers] vijay555:
If you can't get a clean rom, why not just temporarily patch the program to run in 24mb rather than 25mb? It must be a hefty app to need all that ram, but does it really use 100% of the 25mb?

:confused::confused::confused:

I know that i may sound like a noob to you guys :D

But i just got my first ppc (the HTC diamond touch) with a dutch (i am) rom installed.

now i've tried to get the new rom from HTC but they say my ppc is not compatible.

What i like to know is, if i get a new rom and flash it do i need a new WM 6.1

or is that in the rom or does it install ( like a backup on the phone)

If it is the last option, where can i get a "clean WM6.1"

If this question has been asked before then i'm sorry i probably didn't see it

Sincerely yours

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Crazyrooster:
Why would you look like a noob to us? Just because you've just got your first PPC? Everybody has to start somewhere.

First question I've got is, do you own a real Touch Diamond or do you own the T-Mobile MDA Compact IV? If you own a Diamond touch you've should be able to flash the latest Dutch rom without problems. If you own a MDA Compact IV you've need to flash a hard-SPL into the phone otherwise you can't flash original Touch Diamond roms.

You can use this S/N for downloading the original Touch Diamond rom from the HTC homepage.

To upgrade to Hard-SPL you can follow this tutorial. Only do this when you know what your doing and if you understand the risks.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] bry21317:
Another one here also. So how about a SN for a Sprint US Version?

I did search and all i found were the Two Dutch SN's for the EUR Version on HTC's Site.

Hey

I am new at this board but I hope that you can give me an answer to my problem. I´d like to run "Max Tilbergs A Viking Saga" (For those who´ve never heard about it: It´s a game for PPc ;) )

The Installation is no problem but when i try to start it there came a window and say that it is important to install the "emBedded Visual Basic Runtime" for this prog. So i googled for this but i found only a version for windows 2003 of this programm. I tried to install this version - nothing changed.

Maybe someone could help me with this little problem .

Wow.. I think that password is too damn simple. I think he needs to add A FEW more characters to it.. :rolleyes:
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] mike freegan:
I fully never got why the Blue Angel is Microsoft's baby.

Whenever you see them demoing new stuff, it's often on the BA. I remember WM5 leaking for it early on too. In fact, that thread was epic.

It was a truly hateful device. I have owned many PDA's and that was by far the worst. I tried pretty much every ROM that was built for the BA, but I could never get the bloody thing to work. Crashed constantly and unable to receive phonecalls on standby.

Perhaps that's why they do it. If they can get a piece of software working on the BA it'll work on anything :P

[/rant]
[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] cassiano:
Taken in consideration it's good ol' MS we're talking about, I guess the real reason for keeping the BA in use is actually the opposite: if the software crashes unexpectedly (or constantly...) you can always blame on the poor hardware...

In fact, I bet my Touch Pro that they use the BA only for the demos and showcasing and they most probably use much newer and better devices to do their internal testings and developing...

I guess they even have this better/updated devices/hardware made custom "dressed" as Blue Angels, just not to raise any suspicions among us mere mortals... :eek:

Either that or I just made a fresh conspiracy theory...LOL :p

[Touch HD General] DennisCooper:
Hi all,

This is an issue which has been semi bugging me since getting my Touch HD a few months ago.

If I use Touchflo and go into settings for the ring volume, I put the slider right down to '2%'. When a call comes in, it's still very loud indeed.

I've tested so that if I put the volume up to say 80% and call in again, its VERY very loud!

I want it that I can leave my ringer on say 5% or 10% when I'm working so that I can hear the ring tone but not disturb other's who maybe close by.

Also, upon testing, if I change the ring tone type, then when it 'preview plays' the ringtone its nice and quiet, kind of at the level I'd like it to ring. However, when then selecting the ringtone and clicking done, I test with an incoming call and it's much louder.

Am I missing something here? I've never had this issue with any of my previous Xda's/HTC phones.

I had a look in search but nothing seems to show up like this from other posters - could my handset be faulty?

Or, do I need to buy some software which controls this better and offers more profiles than just the 4 standard ones?

Any ideas out there please?!

Cheers! Dennis, West London UK!
[Touch HD General] mib1800:
I think the volume setting goes by an incremental of 20%. Yeah, at the lowest 20%, it is still quite loud. The default Innovation ring is excessive loud. You can try another one which is not as disturbing at 20% setting
[Touch HD General] DennisCooper:
Hi there,

Thanks for the response!

Yes, I had the 'innovation' ringtone set and have now changed it to generic 3 which is 'better' !

Is there any software out there specifically for ringtone generation? maybe I could create ringtones and record them at a 'lower recording level' to acheive a 'low' sounding ringtone on the THD without this 'limitation' I pointed out/experience?

having done a search, I can't quite beleive I'm the only one who seems to have noticed this!

Might have to find those 'funny' ringtones - the Brad Pitt Snatch dialogue " why the **** would i wanna caravan with no ****ing wheels' being my favourite !

Cheers! Dennis! West London UK!

Finally!!! An extension to the default media player allowing to browse teh music by folders and build a playlist!

It is very basic, though.

- Files and folders are displayed in the same text - white text.

- No option to start a new playlist. Only queue to current.

I hope this would be fixed soon.
[G1 Apps and Games] mannyb:
Nice. I know a lot of people has requested this, to be able to browse/play folders. Even if it's a bit limited right now, at least it's a start.

[G1 Apps and Games] Asundai:
Yeah it's a bit limited but i find it useful as well. I have everything properly organised by folders etc and tag databases are usually too messy for my liking unless your tags are 100% perfect (and you know what's tagged as what).
[G1 Apps and Games] MoridinBG:
Tagging is great, but I have 9-10 different genres, each with several artists, some of them with several albums and there are albums with various artists. So browsing both the Artist and Album view is too ineffective. There are albums I have almost not listened to, as they are buried deep in the artist/album views.

I was worried also but so foar so good...

I had hacked a white phone tmob sent me and the BT radio only had a range of about 3 inches, so to use it the phone had to be within 3 inches of my head, defeats the purpose huh?...

I did revert to a stock theme, but I left JFs RC33 rom on it, id bet they dont even get booted, probably just broken down for parts or flashed with a fresh rom as the first step in "refurbing" the phone, I also sent it with a flat battery, so no sneaky fool at a processing center, its been 2-2.5 weeks and I haven't had a little Korean guy at my doorstep screaming "no warranty replacement for you!, crazy hacker, just hold the phone next to your BT headset, greedy americans"

no Koreans were harmed during the writing of this post nor was it meant to be in anyway racist HTC is a Korean company thats all...

[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
I have this issue where my music seems to be in a great mess. Is it possible to somehow set the media player to view music folder by folder?
[XPERIA X1 General] NZtechfreak:
Perhaps you need to tag it properly? Mp3tag is a good program for that, if that is indeed the problem...
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
Erm...are there any guides for tagging? Because I have no idea what that is. Even though I placed the songs I wanted to together into the same album, I ended up with multiple albums with different songs but same album name,
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Well

Computers are like me, anal perfectionists. The name "This is an album" and "This Is An Album" an "This is an album" are 3 totally different things. If they are not correctly tagged, with EXACTLY the same name, they are not the same as far as the phone is concerned.

Tagging is simple, use mp3 tag, loads your songs and fill in the form fields (album, arsits, title ,etc then save. Make sure they are identical for each song by same artist/in same album.

To help make sure, select all similar tracks of the same artist or album together before you fill in that field, that way you ensure the exact same data is input in all of them.

Although it makes little to no difference to WM player I also sort my music into folders.

Music +

......|

......|

......+Artist1+

......|.......|

......|.......|

......|.......+Album1

......|.......+Album2

......|

......+Artist2+

..............|

..............|

..............+Album1

..............+Album2

..............+Album3

It's just good housekeeping more than anything and keeps things tidy and simple. Besides, some other program (S2P)actually sort by folder in their library view.

P.S. I also recommend mp3tag, it's pretty close to perfect.
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
Ah...wait...you mean for the music to be in the same album, the artist must be the same? So exactly what are the factors that determine the music being in the same folder? (It goes by artists? Not by albums? And you mentioned titles. How can the titles be the same for all the music?)

Oh and despite the fact that I changed the tags for the albums, it somehow remains the same in itunes and the Media XPerience Panel. Oh and this is how I change tags. I highlight the whole set of music I want to place in the same album. I right click and press "extended tags". I then edit from there. Is that right? What do things like export/convert etc. do? (Oh and I do save.)
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
Only if you group them that way, of course if the artists are different just make sure the Album is exactly thesame on each track. I for example keep all compliation/etc albums in an artist called "Various".
[XPERIA X1 General] Skurai123:
That's the issue! I have edited the songs I want together by placing them into the same album by using "extend tag". And yet, The album cannot be found on the Media Xperiance and the Itunes.
[XPERIA X1 General] alias_neo:
No need

You shouldn't need to use the advanced tags, in fact I removed everything from advanced tags that was non standard leaving only album, artist, title, genre and maybe year. I also found that if I edited them directly on the card it didn't work. They aren't updated. I moved them to the PC, edited, deleted any files related to library on the phone then moved the music back.
[XPERIA X1 General] Trudi:
I don't understand very well your question, because if you choose Menu - Open File - and then select your folder, but don't open it, click on "Read", it reads the files that are in the folder you selected.

But I recommend you doing playlists from your PC with Windows Media Player and synchronize them with your phone. Or there is a nice freeware, MPlayListManager which can create playlists directly on your phone.
[XPERIA X1 General] hezz05:
Anyone have a Mac solution to this? I use iTunes as my library manager but it seems to me the music information isn't edited by iTunes.

Greetings, long time lurker, first time poster. (Translation: Sorry if this is in the wrong forum, please move it)

I've made a GPS logging app for Windows Mobile. I'm sure there are others that exist out there, but I had to make this because it's lighter. The main purpose is to log to a GPX file which I can then use to geotag my flickr photos (example Greece vacation pics).

I was hoping to get some feedback on this app, all you need to do is install it on your phone and when you go out, get it to read your location. The source code is also available for you to see, so I won't post the CAB here, you can download it from Codeplex - is that OK? The codeplex page also has instructions, other information that you might need.

http://www.codeplex.com/gpstracka

One of the problems I've faced is that there is no Folder Dialog in the compact framework, I'm getting the user to enter a path to a filename and I just strip the file name out afterwards.

Another problem is that this isn't working on the Xperia X1!

The biggest problem - 450 downloads and virtually NO feedback! :(

So, I'd appreciate any feedback and if you do try it out, what your phone model is. All info is on the codeplex page too, so if you want to make modifications, I can add you as a developer.
