A little background:

The other day I was looking for a simple SMS auto-reply to function as an away message of sorts for when I'm busy and can't actively reply to texts. My search turned up two candidates, SMS Minder and Mobliza. SMS Minder was exactly what I was looking for, but unfortunately it simply did not work for me. It must've been something about my ROM, but it just ignored any texts that I received. I then paid the few bucks for Mobliza, which worked well, but it "blocked" the texts from my inbox, preventing me from viewing them later which I did not care for. I had been looking for an excuse to play around with Windows Mobile development, so I fired up Visual Studio and had a crack at it. Four hours later, here is the first release of what I got.

How to use it:

At the top of the window is a drop-down list of messages. Choose one or type in your own.

Press Start.

That's it. It'll send that message to anybody who texts you until you press Stop or exit the program.

Features:

Shows who it has replied to. Uses the contact picture if available so you can see at a glance. Useful if you're using this while driving and you are curious who texted you but you don't want to be distracted.

Unlike other programs of this nature, this one does not interfere with the text in anyway. It still goes to your normal inbox. It still gives the ringtone and vibrates like usual. This is by design.

Custom messages. Save your list of custom replies in the settings window, or simply type one into the main window quick if you're in a hurry.

Features coming later:

White/blacklists. Controls who does and doesn't get the replies.

Others? Let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in this.

This program requires the .NET Framework 3.5 to function.

Thanks for taking a look, hope someone finds this useful :-)

Changelog:

5/31 7:40PM: Added support for saving custom messages; check the Settings menu for more. Also packaged in a cab so it can be installed and used like a proper program now.

5/30 8:30PM: Works better with QVGA devices now. I played around with the emulators, and it turns out that QVGA devices have a different DPI than VGA+ devices. So although the program ran fine on QVGA devices, it wouldn't show any actual messages it responded to, just said "and 1 more."

5/30 3:51PM: Initial release
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] katradar:
I'm gonna try it tomorrow.

This sounds like Just the application I was looking for. Here in NY state, it is illegal to text while driving. IMHO, It is kind of dumb to text while driving, anywhere.:rolleyes:

I have been looking for a way to send an automatic text to let people know that "I am driving now...will text later."

I am going to give this program a try tomorrow morning, and will keep you posted.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
I'm also in NY state, one of the reasons I was looking for something like this :)

Looking forward to what you think about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] weenween:
Great. Will try it out and let you know. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
This looks really nice, as there are several times in class or when driving that I'd prefer to have an auto-reply rather than have to keep people waiting.

Couple of suggestions though:

Whitelist/Blacklist, as you said in the first post. Would help if there's certain people that you MUST be in contact with. Maybe even a extra vibrate when a message comes from a blacklist person?

Time-based activation, so that it auto-texts during class hours

Keep it up!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] marrocco:
Maybe GPS-based activation when a user-defined speed is detected, so that it automatically starts replying to any texts when one gets in the car and start driving?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] V&S:
I just installed this app on my TP2 and had a friend send me a test text. It works really well. My only question is, will I have to start the application from the zip file every time I want to use Repli? There is no icon or shortcut placed in the start menu and it is not listed as a program when I search the program files in File Manager. It doesn't seem to use a lot memory so is it designed to stay open at all times. Thanks for you great effort.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Shum97:
Looks interesting, will test it out later..

Thanks for sharing;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
Made a quick .cab file, but no icon yet. Thanks for the cool app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Thanks for the feedback everyone, I just posted an update. I added support for custom messages now with saving and loading. I made a lot of progress on whitelists and blacklists, but its not ready for primetime quite yet. Also, I finally packaged it as a cab so you can install it like its a real program now.

Keep the feedback coming :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
new version works well with the custom messages, but i cannot start the app. It just stays on the start. first version started though. Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Sorry about that. I changed the way the program initialized the SMS catching. Guess it doesn't work universally that way. Try the updated cab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] noellenchris:
works now, thx..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
Not working for me, on a stock ROM HD2 :(. I start it and ask someone to send me a test sms and it does nothing. My freind got no response.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
A few questions to help me debug:

1. When you press the Start button, does it switch to say "Stop"?

2. When your friend texts you, does the message show up in the window?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Farshlufen:
Looks great! I downloaded it and will try it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
1. Yes, I see "Stop" after I pressed Start. I did not exit but minimise the application before receiving message.

2. The message did not show up in Repli. Only in my SMS InBox.

Appreciate your work on this. Very useful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] katradar:
This is great!

I tested out the program yesterday while traveling. I think it is a fantastic idea. It worked the whole time. You can use it for so many other things! Meetings, Emergencies, Etc. I especially like the fact that it tells you who you have to get back to. This way you don't forget about them. :o

I did find a bug.

1) You have to hit "exit" - not the "x" at the top of the screen. If you use the "ok" button on your phone, or tap the "x" at the top of the screen, you get an error message that tells you:

"An unexpected error has occurred in Repli.exe. Select Quit and then restart this program, or select Details for more information." Then when you choose "Details" you get this message:

" Error

Repli.exe Applicationlauncherenableexception at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Unregister(StringapplicationLaunchId) at Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Finalize()"

Thanks for making the Icon for the start menu! It makes life soooo much easier. Also, thanks for making customized replies available.

Thank you so much for this wonderful little application! It is going to be a real life (and money/ticket) saver!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Glad you like it! It sounds like you're using an old version though. Install the cab file in the first post, it has an icon and lets you save your messages. Let me know if that version still gives you those exceptions if you close it with the OK button. Thanks :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Same here, doesnt seem to like HD2's?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
kensong, I'll look into this and see why it's not working for you. Just out of curiousity, what carrier are you on?

EDIT: Ok, a little googling around shows that its a bug in the stock HD2 ROM that doesn't like SMS hooks. I'll see if a solution exists and hopefully get an updated version out soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
I edited my previous post.

Sorry! :oI didn't take the time to read that you had already made the adjustments. I edited my previous post, and took out the parts about the icon and saved messages. I did try the new version, just now. WOW!! is all I can say. That, and: Why didn't anyone think of this sooner?

Thank You! Thank You!

BTW...The error exception is still coming up. It now comes up when you go to "settings" then "exit", as well. It only comes up if you have been using the program. In other words...if you have hit "start", then "stop". It doesn't show the error if all you did was change your messages.

This isn't really a problem, since you are closing the program anyway...just an annoyance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kensong:
I am in Malaysia and the carrier is Maxis if it matters. I think this may be an issue with HD2 as reported by MalekoUK and from your Googling. Hope you squash this bug ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bernabap:
The latest version is working perfect for me!

I spoke too soon, actually when I exit using the "x" or "exit" appears an error.

ken52787 please number your versions, will be much easier for us identifi when you update.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bernabap:
ok ken, I did some tests to see if it helps.

I only get this error when I try to exit while Repli is OFF. If I exit while is ON did not appear any error.

Although this it is working perfectly!

I attached the error screen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
Thanks bernabap, I've found the bug that is giving you the error message. It will be fixed up next release (tomorrow).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thehustler:
Any progress on HD2 compatibiltiy?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ken52787:
I've determined the problem (HTC broke support for a .NET class in the HD2, they said they'd fix it but never did) and found a solution. Unforunately that solution involves making some fancy DLLs to interecept the SMSes at a low-level. So it's coming, but its going to need a bit more work and a lot of testing, so it might be a little while.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jaxbot:
I'm curious to see how this works, as I've never been able to get any text message data in .NET.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thehustler:
Take your time bro, I have all the time in the world. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] timo_bigboy:
Very usefull apps..great thanks

Keep up the good works bro..

Pantech Duo Cincinnati Bell Mobile 6.1 Error

I'll try to give as much info about it as possible. It's a Pantech Duo from Cincinnati Bell. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 build 19597.1.1.8. In the "Remove Programs" list .Net CF 3.5 is listed. Installation was successful and the icon shows up in the programs list. When I click the icon I get the error message:

"Unexpected error in Repli.exe".

Details are:

NotSupportedExtension at Microsot.AGL.Common.MISC.HandleAr(PAL_ERROR ar) at System.Windows.Forms.ComboBox.set_DropDownStyle(ComboBoxStyle value) at Repli.Form1.InitializeComponent() at Repli.Form1..ctor() at Repli.Program.Main().

Hope this helps. Great concept and I could have used this a few days ago in the car for a 3 hour drive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Rie888:
works like a charm on my htc diamond! looking forward to your next release! keep up the good work ken!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] superkian:
can set the timing to reply somebody?

let said the text send out after 10minute.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chandri:
some idea

just want to inform.

it's not working on stock hd2 and artemisv25 wwe rom

just wont send any sms

the button change from start to stop...(if i activate it)

would be great if we can customize reply using keywords

ex

"if someone sms "where" as a keyword it will respond with "custom sms no1"

if someone sms "whois" as a keyword it will respond with a customisable "my name is ,etc"

:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stretch4x4:
This looks exactly like what I need!

I really like Chandri's suggestion.

Any possibility of seeing your code as I have a project that I would like to implement something similar.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] salopineda:
Thanks man,

Works great with HTC Tilt, exactly What I was looking for.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rdelsol:
Great work it runs perfectly on my touch2! Suggestion in the new version kindly make the message line longer.

problem

I have start the program without problem but when i start configurating it, i delete all the standard messages it comes with, now the programs crash and it dont start.

tried delete and reinstalling in the same location and in others, same result. what can i do? are ther any registry hack that i could use?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Waw, thanks, it's a must-have! :D

Works fine on my Cruise.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Mxlplyk:
Hi Ken, I really love this program that you made, but could do a little tweaking for me? and for those who are using Dual-sim WM6.5 phones?

Lets say, somebody called or texted me on SIM1, I'd like to have Repli have that feature wherein it would know that the SMS was received in SIM1. and be able to reply to it. Same thing goes when a Call or SMS is received in SIM2.

Also, I need the option in Repli that will let me select which number to use for sending the SMS reply. like SIM1 or SIM2.

Thanks and more power! : )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pmvyas:
Just bumped into this ...and man......s thi usefull !!!

A must have aplication !!!

Will be trying out soonest .
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] CruisnGrrl:
would like to set certain #s so i can have a set reply for them all the time and others come through as normal/normal away message. ie face book pokes get poked back, normal texts get auto response and twitter and other blogs stuff gets ignored by the auto responder
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
BUMP for this excellent app. :)

By the way, there is a little problem: it replies to delivery messages. So my operator send me a message to say that my sms "canno't be sent to "0"", and...the app replies again!

And my operator send me a message to say that my sms "canno't be sent to "952"", and the app replies again...

And my operator send me a message to say that my sms "canno't be sent to "952"", and the app replies again...

And my operator send me a message to say that my sms "canno't be sent to "952"", and the app replies again...

And my operator send me a message to say that my sms "canno't be sent to "952"", and the app replies again...

...

...and crash... :D

Will it be possible to blacklist some persons? Blacklist delivery messages?

Or add a new feature to close the app after a predefined time?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Win_XP:
Hi, works great on my Universal with WM6.1, thanks :)

I posted the program here, so more people will use it:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zinconnu:
Another problem i've found : i can't close the app without an error:

Repli.exe

ApplicationLauncherEnableException

à Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Unregister(String applicationLaunchId)

à Microsoft.WindowsMobile.PocketOutlook.MessageInterception.MessageInterceptor.Finalize()

I've this error only if i've started the auto-reply function. If i only open the app and close it, no problem.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mouffettefatale:
Great idea

This looks great. I'll be trying it out today. Would be nice if it could reply to cals you are not able or do not want to respond to.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
Still the best little app around!

Hi Ken,

I upgraded my phone to the Tilt2. And Yes! I am

still

using this app! It is one of the 2 reasons I stayed with a WM phone. I have never come across an OS or program that does what this one little app does.

As far as the "Error when exiting"...It still does this. However, only when you have actually been using the app. Apparently, this is a real problem for some people. I don't quite understand why? All the error message does is tell you it has to shut down the program. Weren't you gonna close the program anyway?:confused:

I do think the "Blacklist" idea would be a good addition to this. Though, I only get texts from a few people, I can see why others would need this. Especially if you don't have an "Unlimited" texting plan. Talk about jacking up your bill! :eek:

Anyway...I think if you were to "fix the glitches" that others need taken care of, a lot more people would use this app on a regular basis. How cool would that be?

Keep up the good work!!!:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] soso709:
Heeeeeeeeeeeeelp !!!!

it doesn't work on my diamond 2. I think that's because I have the htc messaging client. help me please....:mad:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
HD2

Hi Ken,

I now have an unlocked HD2. This program is working fine on it. BTW... The error message does not show up anymore! Yay!

For anyone else's info, I do not have the "Stock" rom. I also am using the Arcsoft MMS, and have HTC messaging disabled. I don't know if that will make any difference for you, but this program works fine under these settings.

Again. Thank you so very much for creating this app.

[edit] I must retract the comment about the error message not showing up. It depends on which rom you use. Even so...this program works like a dream, and the error message is no big deal. At least not to me.

Windows 8 Phone

Ken,

I noticed communication stopped on this a few years ago.

I am new to the group as I was drawn in by this app, but I have a Windows Phone (Nokia) with windows 8.

I wondered if you have updated app or if it will work.

I have been dreaming about an app like this....most everyone wants it for driving.

I want it for alerting clients that it's past business hours and to contact me a different way than by text.

Thanks

Any help?

when you use something like google maps and use the GPS funtion does it still lock in on your current location okay? If so... I wouldnt be too worried about the problem
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] apax:
just curious, can the tilt2/tp2 capable to run animated backgrounds? if so, are their any links? i've looked, but didn't see anything for our phones..

thanks in advance
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] skky91:
yes, it can run animated backgrounds seeing as some are included in ROMS such as the energy ROM; where you get them from, i have no idea. :)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
I haven't seen those animated backgrounds, unless you are referring to the startup animations, or the weather animations in Sense. But those are not the background pictures.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Robson:
would you be referring to animated today? if so, yes it can be run...though it eats up memory as well as the battery like crazy.

cheers
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] bestfan:
sure you can load pre-loaded animatated wallpaper perfectly, they located in device\my documents\my wallpaper

also you can make your own animated wallpaper
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] stevedebi:
What format would these wallpapers be?

I keep getting Unknown Caller on Known Callers when they call Google Voice. Anybody else experience this and/or know of a solution? Only happens on Froyo.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi:
Yup, I've had the same issue. I didn't know it was Google Voice though.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
The people calling me only know my Google number. That's how I know its gotta be GVoice. Wonder what the problem is? Maybe a but til the official froyo release...(fingers crossed)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkjedi:
Ah ok. No one knows my GV number, so I can't tell if they're calling that or my regular number. But it is annoying, that's for sure.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClanLee:
No problems with GV and caller ID. Been running the Pre-Froyo since it came out. Test by calling phone and then calling GV number. If it continues, try rebooting phone. If all else fails, wipe and flash again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SiNJiN76:
Damn...wiped and reflashed 3 times...still getting Unknown Caller for my Known Contacts through Gvoice! WTF??? I haven't changed any settings...Ah, gonna go back to Cy or Enom's.
[G1 Apps and Games] SG_Shadow:
I tried searching for this type of install and couldn't find it. After re-flashing cyanogen 5.0.7 stable, I lost my 3d gallery again. I'm at work right now and don't have access to ADB so I had to figure out how to install this on-the-go, without having double galleries. These instructions can be used in terminal emulator without a system reboot. Make sure to download the attached gallery.apk and place it on the root of your sd card.

1. su (allows root permission)
2. mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system (make the system folder writeable)
3. rm /system/app/Gallery.apk (removes system Gallery)
4. cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk (copies 3D Gallery to system)
5. enjoy
[G1 Apps and Games] s.aldrete:
Help!!!

Permisson denied (are you root?)

yes i am... why doesn't it work? :eek:
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
before entering the above commands, try first entering "su", then when you see the # symbol enter in the above command.

so it may look like this, not sure if will work but you can try it:

$ su

# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

# rm /system/app/Gallery.apk

# cat /sdcard/Gallery.apk > /system/app/Gallery.apk
[G1 Apps and Games] SG_Shadow:
Thanks for helping. I just added that step in the original post. I forgot all about it...
[G1 Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
Can we use something like linda to install this and keep both galleries?
[G1 Apps and Games] pziv2:
Yes you can have both galleries if you install using Astro or Linda but you'll get 2 identical galleries and thus arousing identification problems.
[G1 Apps and Games] FatBoyExtraordinaire:
What do you mean by identification problems?
[G1 Apps and Games] J.a.M:
thank you man finally a simple way to push apps without using adb interface (that **** is hard when you have no idea what to do)
[G1 Apps and Games] NguyenHuu:
on your device it will show two "Gallery" icons/apps. You wont be able to tell which is which because the 3D one wasnt modded and renamed. So you dont have for example seperate "Gallery" and "3D Gallery" labels, you just have two "Gallery" icons. hope that makes sense. if you look around the forums, you can rip out the modded 3D gallery from one of the roms so it can run side by side with the stock gallery and be properly labeled. maybe rip it out of one of cyanogen's old roms when he had them both before he removed the 3d one.
