S2V is a stylus-free picture viewing application. It can also be used to set up the wallpapers for S2U2 (0.97 or later); assign a pic to a contact; set it as Today's wallpaper; or send it via MMS/email.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 6M for QVGA
- if you cannot start S2V, delete the whole registry tree HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V, then start S2V again.
Changes of v0.42
- fixed the occasional bug that S2V quit unexpectedly when viewing a particular folder.
- added the options to change the sorting menu symbol. It's only useful for those devices that cannot display the triangles on the sorting menu. How? Create a registry value AscendingSymbol (String) at \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\A_C\S2V\, set the content to whatever you want, e.g. ^, or even a word (ascending). Create another one called DescendingSymbol for the descending order.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.40 (20-8-2008)

- fixed some minor bugs.
Changes of v0.38 (23-5-2008)
- added a delete function.
- added option to open a pic through the command switch (for advanced users, you can now associate pic files to be opened by S2V).
- added some shortcuts: ANSWER key to quit; END/OK key to minimize; tap the top right corner to minimize.
- reduced the RAM usage a little.
- reduced the contact pic size so as to reduce the chance of Outlook sync error (but for VGA or above devices, there is still chances that the pic will over the size that Outlook can handle).
- all system icons are live when S2U2 (v1.00 or later) is already running in the background.
- fixed the issue that some devices cannot run in Landscape mode.
- fixed some minor bugs.
Screenshots:
Thumbnail view & folder view (press the folder name to view that folder's pic; press the ARROW to view that folder's sub-folders)
Operations:
- Slide the screen to view the previous or next picture (or press the DPAD left/right);

Q. Can a GIF file be assigned to a contact?
A. No.
Q. When viewing GIF file, there is no animation?!
A. Yes.
Q. After assigning a photo to a contact, the Activesync on the PC shows an error!
A. It's because the size of the assigned photo is too large for Outlook to handle. You may manually press the sync button once more to dismiss the error, but it will not be saved in Outlook.
A. Upgrade to v0.38 or later.
Q. After running S2V a while, the ZOOM function/folder browsing does not work!
A. That's because your device is running out of free memory.
Q. When browsing folders, I cannot view the subfolders?! S2V always say "no picture here"?!
A. It's because the pics are sit at the subfolders. If a folder has subfolders, an "ARROW" button will be displayed next to it. Press that "ARROW" button will show the subfolders.
Q. After assigned a pic as Today's wallpaper, then change to Landscape mode, the wallpaper does not work?!
A. You have to assign another pic as the Landscape wallpaper as well.

Not tested. Just give it a try.
This looks great, I can't wait to test it. Its already posted over in PPCGeeks (that was fast).
I must say A_C....I just got the iTouch, and your apps (S2U2, and I think this as well) are better than what is offered on the 'original' devices. More features, better support, and smoother operation!!!!!
Keep up the good work!!!
Saying it's not a valid pocket pc app when I try running it from my phone. I have a samsung i760....

Thanks for the new app, will give it a try to day!
you are the master!!!
wow.. fantastic app!! another surprise from you....it is really a fantastic app.. would like to replace it with the default picture application. you are great!!
Bella A_C,
this app looks nice and clean as S2U2 do, too.
Wishlist :
move from pic to pic like IPhone Pic-Browser.
You are a great dev

Have you installed S2U2 as well? If yes, upgrade it to v0.97 first.
MIX all the goodies
In addition to the application mentioned in the thread in the quete below
i would like to point out the free application here
http://www.pocketcm.com/imageviewer.php
it would be nice if all three applications mix:
1 iphone display (from one pic to another) in the thread below
2 zoom and pan from the link i mentioned above
3 adding the pics to S2U2 from your application

Hello all,
iam currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item. it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts. I have not made this to be an improvement of any existing applications. I mainly wanted to see if i could make something that i myself found usefull.
It is not a finished product, perhaps it never will be, please use my settingseditor to configure the application. Also due to memory issues i have removed the resize option. please use images that are 48x48 for QVGA and 96x96 for VGA
features:
- QVGA & VGA usable
- Identify contact with photo or name
- 1 or 2 rows with 5 contacts each
- a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact.
- option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.
- option to vibrate and/or play a sound to notify 2 seconds have passed to dial a number
One row :
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Two rows:
To use it, do the following:
1 download and install the "ChrisTec Managed Today Screen Item Framework" on you device (install it on your device, i do not know if this will work if you install it on a storage card) at http://www.codeplex.com/ManagedTodayScreen
2 Copy the contents of the Todayscreendialer.zip file to the directory \Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework
3 configure the settings.xml file (see below) - please use the settingseditor
4 Reset your device (or refresh your today theme) - using the settingseditor will automatically refresh the today theme once you have applied the settings
Todayscreendialer settings.xml
the settings.xml included should be used as follows:
<PictureCaller rows="1" sound="false" vibrate="true" dialNumber="false" soundLocation="your wav file location">
rows="1" -> numer of rows to display either "1" or "2" rows.
sound="false" -> specify if you want to have a sound played if you press the photo button for 2 seconds.
vibrate="true" -> specify if you want to have the device to vibrate if you press the photo button for 2 seconds.
dialNumber="false" -> in case you want to test the buttons without dialing. please set this to "true" if you want the application to dial !
soundLocation="your wav file location"> -> if sound is set to "true" you must specify a valid file (use the complete path)
For each Photo or name contact you should add a <Item id="a number from 1 - 10">
a photo contatc should be added like this:
<Item id="3">
<Name>Callers name</Name>
<Picturelocation>picture.jpg</Picturelocation>
<PhoneNumber1>12345678</PhoneNumber1>
</Item>
a name contact should be added like this:
<Item id="5">
<Name>Callers name</Name>
<PhoneNumber1>12345678</PhoneNumber1>
</Item>
please keep in mind that the maximum number of items is 10 (for 2 rows)
There are two options that can be set per <item>:
visible="false" -> set item to visiible or not, default this is true
multipleNumbers="true" -> if you would like to use two numbers with the same contact use multipleNumbers="true". It is imperative that you include <PhoneNumber2>12345678</PhoneNumber2>
or else the application will not work properly
hope all this is a bit clear !
U can use the settingseditor to configure the settings.xml.
Simply copy it to your device and start the program. It will search for the settings.xml file in \Program Files\Managed Today Screen Framework

i am not really an expert in special effects on pictures. But perhaps i can make it work
i will look into creating a seperate settings application that edits the settings.xml.
Now this is exactly what I am looking for, sort of. I know my suggestion may spoil your thoughts of how you want the program to behave but hey it is just a suggestion Here goes, is it possible to bring upp a menu with all the numbers you have on that contact, for instance home,work and so on when you long press on the contact picture? I think this feature would be great but as I mentioned you are the author and you do as you want, its a suggestion. Weird no one else has created a similar software before.

good suggestion, however my main idea behind the long pressed button approach is that a person does not have to look on the screen to see what number is to be dialed. I use the plugin extensible in my car. I just have to look which contact i want to dial and start pressing the photo contact. The app will do the rest.
However, it is possible to do this, so if you (and other people) want this approach I can see if i can incorperate it at a later stage. It will probably will be around the time that i have figured out to directly connect the PIM contacts to the plugin.
Creutz' idea should definitely be included in the upcoming releases, but as it has been mentioned above try think about some sort of built in configuration instead of manually xml-file editing.
special effects...not seriously needed
Very nice software. Thank you. I like this wallpaper too. Would you mind sharing that or direct me as to where I may find it?

Settingseditor program
Okay, i have finished a settingseditor to edit the settings.xml. hope someone finds it usefull. please also download the new Todayscreendialer.zip.
I was wondering if anybody was using the application.and if anybody had comments or suggestions.
Ido you need to make some registry settings?
Hi, yesterday I stumbled on your application an dwant to try it. From some other internet sources I understand that also some registry settings must be made to make it work. Is that correct?
At the moment I cannot 'see' your plugin on my today screen.
Please advise, and thanks for sharing your application

This is just a simple flash tool to edit the "tabs" of the WM6.5 plugin (Titanium).
The aspect is simple and draggable. You can change the order and remove the tabs you dont want.
You can also add new tabs (to add/test new plugins) and change the Left SoftKey.
This is only a plugin manager, it doesnt install plugins, for that you can find them in the excelent thread All WM6.5 Titanium plugins by thedaniel:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511052
Small update:
----------------
- Added CS2P plugin
- Added TWolf plugin
- Added CDigiClock plugin
- Just replace your data.txt with the zipped one.
New version 7.02:
-------------------
- Minor visual changes.
- Fixed nem bug where a swapped tab couldnt be re-chosen for a different plugin.
- Fixed bug when jumping from 24 plugins screen to 16 that caused the application to go berserk.
- Fixed strange bug in the 24 plugins screen that didnt allow the third column to swap tabs.
- Added taskanium plugin
- Added new settings plugin
- Started programming the routine to read the real regkeys (uff)... Its not ready to use yet, but you can see its results already by pressing the ENTER softkey on the main screen. It will only read the first 24 plugins, like this app, and everything else in "undefined" (unused).
Version 7.01:
-------------------
- Fixed a bug on the MyPhotos plugin (thanks for the tip, nandar).
- Created a new routine to check how many plugins are enabled, this makes the plugin layout jump back to areas 5, 10, 16 or 24 if the correct empty spaces are available.
- Added option to swap plugin with empty buttons.
- Fixed bug that forced you to change the plugin if you dragged a button back to itself.
- Some visual cleanups and blinged graphics.
- Added the "Are you sure?" message in enable and disable all plugins (I think this was needed, since it would flush your previous settings).
- Added Restore button, to put the default settings, in case you messed up something (thanks for the idea, mallman).
- The maximum characters on left button link are now 50, this seems to be the correct limitation.
- Changed the order of the plugins, the 4 most used I've seen around are now the first.
- The splashScreen and exit screen take now exacly 1 second to dissapear, sorry about this, but it needs to load and save a lot of variables and registry settings.
To use:
-------
- Have WM6.5 º_^
- Install Flash 7 (Flash Lite 3.1 doesnt work).
- Install the latest CAB.
- You have 5 empty tabs available at start.
- To load a plugin just press the tab you want and a new area appears, where you can select one of the (currently) available 25 plugins.
- If you want to change the order of the plugins simply drag it to the one you want to trade with.
- To remove, drag it to the trash area.
- Once you select a plugin to the last button the layout will change to 5, 10, 16 or 24 tabs. I dont think anyone uses more than 24 at the same time, but I can add more in the future.
- To add new plugins, in the select plugin area, choose NEW PLUGIN, and there you can write the name (optional) and code of the plugin (code example: CClock).
- When the final version is out, updating to the latest plugins should be as simple as updatin the data.txt file.
- You can also write a plugin GROUP (for example, Code: CClock;CHome;ATFavePeople), this lets you have your favorite plugins all in one tab. Its not needed for now, since you have all the current plugins to choose from, but... this is usefull to me, since I can add in the weather or twitter tab all the different plugin names existing and it only shows the ones you have installed. ^_^
- You can also select all of the available tabs or select none, cleaning all your customizations.
- Restore is only used in case something goes horribly, horribly wrong...
- As before, the left softkey button can be changed in its own area. Use the special buttons wisely.
Older versions on post #3 below.
To do:
------
- Add icon to CS2P plugin
- Add icon to TWolf plugin
- Add icon to CDigiClock plugin
- Add a "NOT INSTALLED" warning on plugins that you dont currently have (if it can be done).
- Add a online update to the data.txt file (thats the plugin database, its on the same folder as the Titanizer).
- Read the "real" registry names, not just my saved database.
Thanks to:
------
I used a today screen refresher from hotdog53 and Wedge helped a lot in the code (wouldnt work without it) and creating the CAB.
-----
Atention, Showaco released CHome Editor!
It has much more options and its very customizable! ^_^
Nice one, i'll try it. Used "Titanium Customizer" atm. Lets see which one win!
_________Version 7:__________
Version 7:
---------------
- All new.
- Previous versions removed, because after version 7 the editor changed completly.
agree your app is nicer
Well done
But at least you don't need to install flash to use mine ^^

Something like HTC Home.
It will be great if this works.

I'd like to announce my latest app, 3 months in the making: Avatar! Avatar is a photo dialer with the ultra-smooth scrolling and low memory footprint characteristics you love about iContact and iDialer.
Avatar is extremely easy to use:
Flick to scroll among your contacts. Contacts without pictures will not show up.
Tap an avatar to bring up details. This is where iContact integration kicks in: if iContact is installed, Avatar will use it. If not, it will bring up the standard contact manager.
Tap-and-hold on an avatar to call using that contact's "smart property": the one that shows up in the standard contact manager. "<m>" = mobile, "<w>" = work, "<h>" = home, etc.
That's it! Easy!
Avatar features:
low memory footprint - only around 100KB on VGA
Works on all screens: VGA, QVGA, WVGA, WQVGA, Square
AppToDate support
Ultra-smooth scrolling
Integrates with iContact and iDialer

AT = ReadFile ("\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt")
If (AT = 1)
AT = 0
Minimize (Avatar)
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
EndIf
Run ("Storage Card\Program Files\Avatar\Avatar.exe")
AT = 1
WriteFile ( "\Storage Card\My Todays\a.txt" , AT )
Exit
Just requires a folder named "My Todays" on the Storage Card, a simple text file in that folder named "a" containing either a "1" OR "0" to start.
Then create a shortcut to your windows start menu, then hook up with HButton.
How about the first contact icon (top left) and last icon in avatar to minimize?
Or a left to right swipe across screen to minimize?
This addition to the iContact/iDialer/GreenButton family is awesome!
nice work as always mate .
Excellent.
How about displaying a generic image/photo for contacts without custom pictures?

Nope, it's a simple install.
Closing Avatar....
If you touch the top right corner of the screen it will exit the program. (It stays running in the background though).
If you want it to COMPLETELY close after you exit, point your registry editor to
HKCU/SOFTWARE/SUPWARE.NET/AVATAR/exitOnMinimize
and change the value from zero (0) to one (1).
Hope it helps!

Impressive, as always.
But, can we have a way to close the program?

and just to add my feedback to Doug - another great piece of software, well done and another essential add-on to my HTC Touch HD (Blackstone).
Superb!

Its very, very good...
I'm thinking of using it instead of iContact even...
Atention that the link on http://www.supware.net/Avatar/ points to another thread.
Just a few thought, there could be some extra options to:
- See the default taskbar (easier to close)
- Close on action (I saw the registry tip and noticed they are both there, eheheh)
- Switch click methods (click to call, press to see info)
- See all contacts, the ones without photo would have the default avatar picture (some I just cant get a photo easily).
Thank you for another great work!
I tried it again, today, must have been my xperia, i rebooted it etc. Great app, I have been using while driving, lot easier and safer.

Thanks for the feedback! (and everyone else too)
I fixed the link on my web site, thanks. For your #3, I originally had it switched, but I ended up accidentally calling people all the time. I think the way it is now is safer. For #4, I thought about that too, but my list would then look like mostly default avatars with a couple pictures every now and then. In that case, using a photo dialer is more annoying than just a text list of names like iContact. I thought perhaps if changing it to display a "category" instead of "all contacts" it would be better to display default avatars, but right now it can't display a single category. Maybe in the next version
I really love this app. Possible enhancement: being able set the contacts to match a category. This way if you want only a certain group you can set that, like an office setting and weekend setting.

That's a good idea. I've been thinking how to best handle that, and how to integrate it with iContact.
Fantastic app.
On my Diamond some photo contacts appear distorced, would be nice an option to show the photos in the real proportions (cutting the top&bottom or left/right sides).
lob
great app! don't add default avatar images, the point is that only your "favourites" are showing up - the people you cared to add image for.
for that reason, it may make sense to add an extra button to the iContact app (on the bottom) which would open the Avatar! For me that would be more useful than the current iContact favourites, which is only a(n incomplete) category filter (without separation/scrolling by first letter, nor the option to chose a category different than the favoured...)
Thinking in this way - best solution would be that the favourites button is changed to open avatar button.

Strange Issues on HTC Diamond
Official Rom 2.03
1. I noticed that my Diamond open and close directly its monitor one minute before new day come, namely at 23.59.. Scheduler with one day frequency, is my selection for automatic background change.
It seems that application do something and awake my device. When scheduler has been disabled, the behavior of HTC Diamond was correct at 23:59 and it didn't open, so this application is responsible for this issue.
2. File names which apart only of numbers will never selected on background. (for example 56.jpg)
Any suggestion are welcome.

Yes I have Galarm installed, but I have no alarm activated. Furthermore, when I disable scheduler from AntWorks, I don't have the same issue

You are absolutely right my friend. I uninstall GAlarm and I didn't have the same issue. It seems that there is a conflict between your application and GAlarm. Do you use probably the same Scheduler machine with GAlarm ?

VGA/WVGA. It also works (in theory) on QVGA, but it may not run well due to older devices being slower.
Looks and runs nicely on my Blackstone, have noticed a few things though:
- the blue squares shake a lot if you press and hold the screen...not sure if it's intentional but personally I feel the 'vibration' effect isn't too nice to look at.
- when scrolling on the apps screen some program names get broken. For example: 'FreeUpRam' becomes 'FreeUP' and 'pTravelAlarm' becomes 'pTravelAl'. The scrolling motion is also a bit jumpy.
- could not find a way of returning from bing search to the main screen without exiting the app and reloading it.
- pictures tab does not see images on the SD card in \Storage Card\My Documents or \Storage Card\DCIM (it would be nice if it could be set in the settings to look at 2 paths - storage and phone)
- none of my music is listed (also stored on storage card).
VERY nice start though! I'll be watching this one!
...also for some reason your website just comes up grey on my PC in IE8.
sweet, why not put it on your diamond2?
what are your thoughts on changing the faded black background to pitch black?? I am guessing you're trying to make it look like what's shown in the microsoft demos on that prototype device...? That's probably due to the display on that device though and i'm going to take a wild guess and say MS will make it black like on the zune hd when it's done. Or maybe you have a different reason for it?
cool

going to go try it out its going to look good
wm7
keep gettin a error when i launch the app
are you using windows form control/user control to display items? You can't get any smoother animation with windows form controls, because everytimes the control Location changes, it repaints itself regardless and as you can see it is very resource consuming. You gotta paint individual control for better performance.
But overall, it's looking pretty nice
I trie on my ELF P3450 and runs fine but a little bit slower, understand that, older device...
Very nice app... any chance to edit menu ( the right side)???
ohhh...and tell the trick to unlock screen i spend about 2 min to find out...looool
Feedback
I tried this on opal (201mhz processor) qvga screen.
I can tell one thing its just awesome on my device i didnt expected it to be so smoothe (iam comparing this with the preview version) its much smoother just one thing on home screen while scrolling the tiles move with hands thats absolutely smoothe but for some time it leaves a trace of the tile say 1 or 2 seconds if u fix that u can officially say its compatible with qvga.
I expect more pages, more likelyness to original wp7
Hey Jaxbot,
It's getting better - the only that has disappointed me with this build (as opposed to the one I've tested for you) is the animations seem to have got slower rather than faster - especially for the people hub.
I see you have fixed some bugs - some still remain but I will not double report those.
A new one, it's nice to see you've added the contact surname, however, it is now shown underneath the next person's first name (i.e. you've not given it enough space/padding).
The same goes for the program list (the second part of the program name is cut off). good to see it's actually working now - though still not scrollable.
The live tiles still take a long time to animate out/in.
More to come...
Casey
Update: In qvga device there is no tile for images.
Plus this homescreen needs kinetic scrolling its a must coz scrolling between the left and right pages is excellent the animation is perfect but scrolling down is little hard so i am saying kinetic scrolling please add in next version.
very nice start.
theres alot of shaking around on the icons, and arent any smooth transitions. btu seeing as this is version 1, im sure that you will refine it in the coming weeks
i look forward to the more refined version. good work and thanks for the download!
很漂亮,qvga也可以用,但是提出几个问题:
1. 使用过程中,容易造成崩溃死机。
2. 上下左右滑动,速度很慢。
3. 不支持中文路径。
4. 程序图标不显示。

This app is awfull
I'm running it on my HP614C, WM6.5 with a 520Mhz processor.
It's stille pretty slow, but it surely is an improvement over the alpha release!
Keep it coming

My guess is they are taking up more room than available, which means the auto-font size is broken. I'll look into it.

Interesting, and yes I noticed that. The problem is that most testing was on the Device Emulator at QVGA resolution, so the fonts worked perfectly on low res. I'll play with the numbers at get that fixed.
About the speed being lower, I'm confused by that, as not much was added (just fixes from the list you sent me). By chance do you have anything running in the background?
Otherwise, I'm still working on speeding up the animations, expect some changes soon

I'm under the impression this is an English-only forum, but I'll answer your concerns as best I can.
1robably takes too much memory.
2:Obviously, since it's QVGA, it runs slow. (since the device is older)
3:I don't know what to say, because .NET CF handles all that.
4robably due to #3.
