oh wow. a configuration tool to go long with it? icontact is just getting better and better.
thanks
A bunch of questions for me from supbro's thread:
zoro007 said:
Herewith the screenshot.
I've changed in icontact.h the font size to 40.
I also changed the item height and some other items.(don't remember)
Hope you can help me make a VGA version .
Thanks anyway !
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Item Details are drawn in DrawItemDetailsOn function inside iContact.cpp file. Action name (Mobile, Email, etc) has a fixed width of 39 pixels, text is right-aligned within this width, so its left side goes off the screen. So huge rework is required to properly support VGA mode. Maybe one day I will put my hands on it...
kwickone said:
When I hit the keyboard icon (far right) to bring up the alphabet, if I hit a letter, the scroll list of names jumps to that letter....great...however, now if I use the D-pad up/down buttons to move down in that letter, it jumps back to the previous location. Hopefully that makes sense. Before I could use the D-Pad buttons and it would stay in the letter that I just jumped to.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yep, thanks for report! The fix will be included in the next release.
also this icontact is much slower that supbros.
but i gues its because it can do more. kind of like pocketcm.
oh well i like it so im keeping it.
Well this is what happens when you open source an app..it just keeps getting better and better..too bad its not for WM 2003 users ( currently one of them )

Could you please tell if it is so even with ShowDialingNumber=0?
Could you please also describe what actions are slower exactly?
I'll try to improve the performance.
burt. your version is AMAZING.. i don't think i could've asked for anything more.
thanks dude.
if i were you.. (or supbro), i'd gather up and go commercial once you finish correcting whatever you have left. (if you have anything to correct).

Going commercial with an open source app? You don't think someone will come up with a free version that can do the same?
Thanks nice release

that is obviously true for every other app in the market.
that's the challenge. you have to keep it so good so that people will want to buy it.
.. just my opinion on the subject.
I seem to have a little buggette -
If I minimize the app in Favourites view, when I restore it, switch to main view and try to use the grid, it freezes. I can only unfreeze it by closing it.

Yep, that's a known bug, unfortunatelly I still didn't found the root cause.
Plz make this compatible with WM 2003SE.plzz..no one is supporting us..plzzz
Truly an amazing addition to an already fantastic app. Nice job!
Hmm gonna try this one out! tnx!
Two bugs I've found so far and it seems to affect both your version and supware.net's version too.
When clicking on Favourite it hangs the phone for about 8 seconds. When clicking on Recent calls it hangs the phone for 5 seconds and the icon for the A-Z disappears (reappears again if you click the middle icon).
Feature request. There is no separation of call types (incoming, outgoing and missed). You have to go into each entry to find out what type it is.
Is there any way of having a colored icon on the entry so we can tell quickly what type it is?
Bug in contact details?
Switched to contact details on this version will produce contact info plus many blank lines where there is not supposed to have any lines. Previous be4.0 does not have this problem.
Feature Request
Option to bring up keyboard automatically when started if on the opening screen (I always use that to get to the letter of the person I want to call or lookup).
Great work!
Question \ Feature Request
Is there a way to make iContacts start in Favorites? I call my favorites more than anyone else. I currently have to take an extra step to get to them now, as the application starts in the general contacts list....
If it can't be done currently, could you please add that feature?
Thanks.

Same problem here... will use 4.0 for now.
Feature request: could you change the time displayed at the title bar in 12 hr format as well?
Thanks for the great work!
Introducing: ChamUZE: An offshoot of my now-slumbering LouzeBerry ROM series, sans the "Berry" (but still with some other MobileMatt-generated goodness).
Inside, you'll find:
* Build 21222 (my favorite of the pre-visual-makeover builds).
* Manila 2.1 Revolution (1.5), skinned with 2.5-like icons.
* MobileMatt's "2.5Manilish" skin for Titanium.
* Opera 9.7, with my own "Opera Personality Switcher" to spoof User Agents and switch on/off the AT&T Proxy
* The original behavior of the camera -- where it rotates a picture based on the orientation of the device at the time it was taken (lost in many recent ROMs) See notes below).
* Some custom walls, inspired by my Chamudi (the inspiration for the name!). Also, some of my favorites collected from around and about.
* Tweaks for performance, battery savings and GPS locks.
* Assignable buttons.
* Configured out-of-the-box for a Fuze, but with ProFuze included to switch the keyboard.
Download:
ChaMUZE 100609
* Fixed issue with accidental restarts during User Customization
* Added in Marketplace (which is now live! yaaaaay!)
* Added in the HTC calculator
* Updated to a newer version of Opera 9.7 -- some neat new effects and enhancements
Please restart your device after the initial bootup -- either manually, or by adding RST: Reset to the end of your sdconfig.txt
Current changelogs and downloads will always be here, older ones will always been in the third post
Screenies (from 100109/100209):
Special notes
This ROM uses Album 3 (starting with the 092809 release) and SensorSDK3. Some people will prefer Album 2.5 or SensorSDK4, so I'm providing cabs here.
There are some gains, and some tradeoffs.
Pros (Album 2.5):
* Album 2.5 doesn't pixelate the picture on first view as Album 3.0 sometimes does
* Album 2.5 rotates image views the way many people prefer, where 3.0 does not
* Album 2.5 includes the social networking uploaders.
Cons:
* You won't have the ability to change a contact picture to one stored on your device from within the Manila contact editor or Favorites tab (it works just fine if you hit "MORE" and use Windows' own contact editor, but that saves photos at a lower resolution). The ROM already includes S2V, which can save a hi-res picture to a contact, as a workaround.
Pros (SensorSDK4)
* You can turn The G-Sensor on/off from within TF3D
* You can make any application rotate, so long as it's on SensorSDK's whitelist (which you can easily edit with G-Config)
Cons:
The camera won't auto-rotate picture orientation based on the way you held your device when you took a picture
Changelogs, and old downloads
ChaMUZE 100209 (very minor update to what's in 100109)
* Removed some redundancies in the Start Menu from the new Comm Manager
* YouTube 2.5 is now cooked directly in, instead of installed as a cab — big time-saver during initial customization, slight space-saver in the ROM
* Returned to the version of the Notification Enhancement used in previous builds
ChaMUZE 100109
* Added in the Comm Manager with Wi-Fi sharing
* Added my new Opera Personality Switcher app
* Returned to the "original" 2.5 slider icons (I just like 'em better)
* Since this ROM includes Opera 9.7, I've also placed a Opera 9.5 cab on the device for those who might prefer it. That's now located in My Documents, for easier access
* Updated to a newer version of the Notification Enhancement
* More packages are cooked directly in, instead of being installed by cabs. Should make initial customization a little faster, and save a little space
* (Maybe) solved a problem one user reported with his device restarting during User Customization -- I need feedback here on whether anyone else is having problems, and whether this fixed it.
ChaMUZE 092809a
* Switched to Album 3 (cabs for 2.5 in the next post)
* Opera 9.7 is now the default (A 9.5 16643 cab will be found in your Windows directory, if you'd rather use that)
* Updated to new, snazzy versions of the Leo TF3D slider icons
* Some new wallpapers, inspired by my Chamudi
* Fixed with 092809a: Album link was missing from the Start Menu in initial 0928 upload.
Current changelogs and downloads will always be here, older ones will always been in the third post
ChaMUZE 091609[/B]
* Initial release
Known issues:
* In all versions so far: "All Settings" in TF3D's settings tab doesn't do anything. The IsWM6.5 registry entry appears correct, for those following TF3D2.1 development. Suggestions, XDAers? Not a problem - You can still get to your settings via the start menu.
Awesome.... Can't wait to check it out.
So glad to see you back with a Manila 2.1 offering. I used your last ROM for 4 weeks without a problem. Super reliable. Can't wait. Bring it on!
Hope this will be a worthy
I believe the tcp manila 3.1 is really loaded and very slow, so i wish this will also be loaded and very fast plus it must have 3g
Where is the rom
We are still waiting for your release
looking forward to this one. Sounds right up my alley since I also prefer Album 2.5 and like th Manila 2.1 features...
The initial version is RELEASED!
Minor update coming in a few days. Some new walls, updated Opera, a tweak here, a tweak there.
Feedback/requests? How's the album/sensorsdk combo working out for people? The cabs?
Comparing HTC Album 2.5 to HTC Album 3.0
Hi, I wanted to thank you...I'm not even a Raphael user... just a user of the humble T-Mobile Wing (Herald). But I have been searching for past hour trying to find out differences between 2.5 and 3 -- So I am very appreciative that you have laid it out, and SEARCH picked it up so I understand what I miss with Album 3.0
More impt, given that the presumptive view at XDA is that "NEWEST VERSION is always better", it's great to see your explaining why, in your view 2.5 is better. It really helps to have people spell out functionality differences.
Wordsmith9091 said:
Album 2.5 and SensorSDK3, and -not- Album 3 with SensorSDK4, as found in most Manila 2.1 ROMs. Cabs are here for anyone who likes the more typical Album 3 / SensorSDK4 setup.
Pros:
* Album 2.5 doesn't pixelate the picture on first view as Album 3.0 sometimes does.
* Album 2.5 rotates image views the way many people prefer, where 3.0 does not
* Album 2.5 includes the social networking uploaders.
* The camera will rotate a picture based on the position of the camera, as in older ROMs (this no longer happens on any SensorSDK4-using ROMs, AFAIK -- but someone please tell me if that's wrong)
Cons:
* You won't have the ability to turn on/off the G-Sensor in Manila.
* You can't rotate apps other than those that natively support rotation (Album, Opera and others that rotated on the stock ROM will work fine). You can address this with one of the xda-generated rotation apps.
* You won't have the ability to change a contact picture to one stored on your device from within the Manila contact editor or Favorites tab (it works just fine if you hit "MORE" and use Windows' own contact editor, but that saves photos at a lower resolution). I'm inlcuding S2V, which can save a hi-res picture to a contact, as a workaround.
Again, cabs are here for anyone who likes the more typical Album 3 / SensorSDK4 setup. If the contacts issue is big for you, you may want to consider installing only Album 3 and not SensorSDK4 -- this particular version of the Album3 package (not all seem to behave this way) will still acknowledge rotation with the older SensorSDK (meaning it'll adjust in which direction you're doing your finger swipes); using the older SensorSDK still gets you the properly working camera rotation.

No problem. Keep in mind that those pros/cons are as to how Album/SensorSDK relate generally to TF3D2 and these packages, and more specifically to how they relate to this ROM. YMMV with other ROMs, and in particular with TF3D1 or non-manilla setups.
For instance, the issue with the photopicker (for contact picture and wallpaper selection) not being in or compatible with Album 2.5 is irrelevant with TF3D1, which was meant to work with earlier versions of Album anyway.
I've updated the post on Album 2.5 vs 3 and SensorSDK 3 vs 4.
It now includes a different revision of Album3 that still pairs very nicely with SensorSDK3 (which I still recommend, because it works better with the camera) . Zooming in portrait and landscape works just fine, regardless of which SensorSDK you use.
It also appears to be faster than some versions of Album3 that commonly used, which means the pixelation issue isn't so bad -- the high-res picture snaps into place pretty quickly. It -may- become the default in the next revision of the ROM (If so, a 2.5 cab will be provided).
As a side note, I had some trouble finding a version that works this way -- but I ultimately built this Album3 cab based on the Album files in herg's ROM (which I highly recommend, if you want to play with the bleeding edge), where Album3 behaved just the way I wanted it to.

21222 was my favorite build. Glad someone is still developing it. Word, you wouldn't happen to have an unmodified 21222 kitchen would you?

I assume you mean one of Da_G's? I'm upload it and PM you a link with what I'm 98 percent certain is an original, before any of my tampering.
it's nice and fast
all these newer builds gained too much weight :/
i do have one problem though
it doesn't seem to go through the whole uc process, and instead reset after the first few
also, for next builds, could you consider including newer htc menu enhancement that does not have arrows on top and bottom? some roms (nrg, for example) have it, but i don't know which package it is
thx!

I'll check into that issue with the UC. I have a suspicion as to what might cause it. The reboot is happening during while it installs the items from your SDConfig, and not while it installs the ROM's own cabs, right?
Is anyone else having a similar problem?
For the menu ... maybe. I'm kinda partial to the versions with the arrows. But I'll take another looksie.
Now 2.0 with subfolder search and much more - look at changelog
I made this Plugin, because I think it's very useful for me - and perhaps it's also useful for you.
Another Launcher? No - not like the Launcher, which are already available - I wouldn't have developed it otherwise - and I developed it mostly on my handy, because I hadn't much time the last weeks.
You can define in some Launchers what you want - but what about if you want to start quickly something, which is not in your Favos?
And how about a Keyboard direct in Titanium? (could tease some iPhone-Fans )
And therefore "TitaniumStarter" - to start everything quickly. Together with Favorites Plugin of contable and JMLLauncher from JMHL (and jmltoday) I got a wonderful "Launch suite"
Features:
- Keyboard direct in Titanium Panel
- Full animated switching between Keyboard and Results (it should look cool)
- Designed to launch quickly each program in Start Menu with direct accessable different input methods
- Installed by TICS_installer: So it will work in ALL THEMES not only Standard Titanium, also Blizz,Josito,... (if you want to make a special .plg for the keyboard in your favorite Theme, just give it to me, I will integrate it)
- ALL RESOLUTIONS: QVGA, WQVGA, VGA, WVGA
- ALL ROM-Languages - no dependencies to a country or WWE-ROM - it knows, where your Start Menu is to find
- Different type modes (left side of keyboard):
-- I = one letter will start search for all Programs in Startmenu with this abecedarian letter
-- II = one letter needs tab on "GO", after two letters automatic search
-- III = type the word as long you want - only "GO" initiates search
- Wildcard-Search - e.g. "*oo" in Mode III would find "Groovefish" as well as "Bluetooth Explorer"
- Launches programs/chooses letter after tab on plugin - possible because of AreaButtons of JMLPanex
- To erase last letter just click backward button in the bottom-right corner under "GO"
- to erase all input just click on current mode on left side
- ...little bit more- just find it out
Changelog & additional Features of 2.0:
- now can search all subfolders of Start Menu
- Search Algorithm written in C - so very fast search
- completely redeveloped data structure
- Adjustable Animation-speed (Set Animation Time not too low, to prevent Timeouts)
- Links can viewed with or without Folder Info
- Extra Design for Folder-View/Non-Folder View
- Context Menu to change Folder-View, Refresh,Animation-Speed
- After Start an Application, Plugin switch to Keyboard and refresh itself
- Skinable - only provide a new /image-Directory
- Little bit more, which I've forgotten now
AddOn: If your Animation is too slow - you can use smaller Images, which has been made by Jumba - just replace the Images with them from Image-Directory of TitaniumStarter.
Download: images_smaller_sizes_by_Jumba.zip
Requirements:
- Mortscript 4.2 or higher *Download Mortscript 4.2*
- JMLPanex >= 2.0 / better 2.10 *Download JMLPanex* for working Titanium-Buttons
I have some ideas for updates or for another usages of this - it's something what I have developed/will develop ocassionally.
TitaniumStarter is free und will stay free - please don't repost it without asking.
Install to Main Memory like every Titanium Plugin and of course: I overtake no responsibility for damaging your device (however this should go )

JMHL for JMLPanex
MattJackson for Keyboard-Image
Mort for Mortscript
Hope you like it and its useful for you (or only to impress a little bit some iPhone-Users )

Greetz Claus
I just installed it and have a question right away, this looks only under start menu and not in subfolders?
I have my shortcuts organized in start menu subfolders, and it does not find them.
Thanx for the nice words - glad that you like it
Look at Post #2: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4802002#post4802002
I've added a wishlist - and at first I will integrate subfolders, ok? (ASAP)
Animations are ok?

woooow, good jub
keep it up buddy
I just tried a lil,and I'll wate for you to support second language keyboard and second folder
if you want a chinese tester, I can help, just contact me

Animations look very cool, for my taste i would make them just a little bit faster, on my device the panel takes 4 seconds to turn.
i love it already although currently its kind of unusable yet for me.
- subfolder problem as described above it just doesnt find anything
- when using wm 6.5.1 pressing a letter presses much higher than it should due to the bigger bottom bar. seems the settings need adjusting here somehow?
look forward to an update, thanks!!

You can adjust the offset in Panex. - to go up and + to go down.
hi,
@pencilcase: offset of panex like claus said will solve your problem, and therefore that I have everything in my main folder,I didn't implement it in subfolder.but next version will do it,must only look for the speeed to find files while turning panel
thanx for the nice words
@claus: 4 seconds? ok,then animation speed will be adjustable in next version,too. on my diamond it's 1 second.i hope it's not exactly beetween turning in middle,because there is the folder-crawling,so that the speed of your file system is the cause.
@kane: of course I'd like to have chinese tester - but what do you mean with second language keyboard? what should I do? anothers layout or signs?
@all : only a question: in mode III - how "responsive" is your device? I mean-could you type fast longer text with this keyboard,too?
sorry 4 typos - only from handy online.
cheers

The keyboard is not very fast, immagine due to Panex response, phone keyboard is faster, but as only a few characters have to be typed it is no problem, and visually i like this onpanel keyboard better.
therefore I asked-on my Diamond I could write quite fast also longer notes/text - how much MHz is your processsor or do you have running mortscripts besides,which slow down system performance?
because of subfolder search: I mentioned this would be too sloww while animation in Mortscript.
So I will develop it in C as sub-process to animation.
that's not possible on my handy,so it will take a litttle more time,until I'm back @home.
but then it should be fast enough to search recursively.
@all: please tell me also the responsiveness of the keyboard-together with yyour device type and processsor speed.

Once again great work, Micha !!!

contable
for chinese virson i mean the keyboard can also support typing chinese
I know it sounds like almost inpossable....., but if there's a opportunity I'll catch it
but really need this tool to support secend(third, fourth) folder in start menu, this is the most important, and i have to say, good job MichelDiamond , keep it on
@contable: Great FavPeople&Launcher with Multi-Buttons-Plugin - cool! ( & you have a PN)
@Kane: Oh - the chinese keyboard would be interesting. I have 27 buttons - would that be enough? Perhaps we can work together, to get a chinese Variation of it Do you have a screenshot with a comparison of english and chinese keyboard?
And to "second","third" folder - like I said: Mortscript would need roundabout 2-5 seconds to find everything (on my Diamond) - so I have to do it in C... better: had to do it in C - I must think about my last developing of a recursive function, which has to be fast... but I'm roundabout 30ms for 250 Links in Startmenu in all subfolders
But therefore I had/have to change the whole data structure of TitaniumStarter, too... and have to change a little bit the design to make folders visible... and add a Menu to switch on/off Folder expansion.
And that I'm about to do - I had not very much time the last days - but recursion works really fine
From outside - the Panel will look quite similiar to 1.0 - but inside there are very much changes - it's like a new Panel
Need only a little bit time to do this all - but won't take very long - depends on my office
If somebody has more ideas for later, just tell it. Let's see what such a "fun work" will produce

ok, here's 4 of chinese input keyboard , choose one
but i prefer to use the last one for Chinese Traditional and second one for Chinese Simplified.couse the first one and third one there's not much ppl use it
jejeje I know it looks complex,and it really are,chinese input not like english
a=a and if you want to type "apple" you just need to type apple on the keyboard chinese keyboard is like this if you want to type 我(me) you have to type ㄨㄛˇ then there's some words pup up like 我 婐 捰 they all sounds like ㄨㄛˇ
jejeje when i type here I found chinese Variation is almost impossable
but if you can make it possable , please please tell me, I'll do whatever i can to help you
and I have a new suggestion
why just limit this wonderful tool in start menu??
why not let ppl choose what folder they want to search?
and you can set dafult folder in Program Files both in Storage card and main
I suggess this is because there's a lot of non-install apps out there , and it's tired to link them all to start menu
hope you dont think I'm crazy
if you want my MSN skype or google wave, just sent me a PM ok? I'll do what ever i can to help you
That looks very complicated
To make a Keyboard is not the problem - but to know which Key is signed with which Letter. The Filenames are the same?
And your proposal with other search locations: Yes - that's possible with Data structure from 2.0 - but there are expansions needed - e.g. to search or... "what" .exe .* .dll .... and so this should be a new Plugin. The search will also take longer - depends on the size of the files on the search location. Perhaps there should be a favorite Folder-Init... and much more. (already thought about to write SMS with this Keyboard? *g* )
I only have too much projects and work at the moment - ut I won't forget it - perhaps we could do it together (the chinese keyboard, too Would you look a little bit how the keyboard works? Panex can't overgive Parameters to .mscr - so it's easy to read )
Ah - I forgot - 2.0 is finished *g*
It's done - 2.0 is online to free download now!
The Subfolder search is now implemented-was completely rewritten in C, to be fast (Mortscript would have been too slow for such recursive search op's)
Further you now have a Context Menu to adjust animation speed or switch between Subfolder View and Program-only View
much more - see changelog and picture below or in Post #1
Changelog & additional Features of 2.0:
- now can search all subfolders of Start Menu
- Search Algorithm written in C - so very fast search
- completely redeveloped data structure
- Adjustable Animation-speed
- Links can viewed with or without Folder Info
- Extra Design for Folder-View/Non-Folder View
- Context Menu to change Folder-View, Refresh,Animation-Speed
- After Start an Application, Plugin switch to Keyboard and refresh itself
- Skinable - only provide a new /image-Directory
- Little bit more, which I've forgotten now
Have fun - and thanx for the big feedback!

TitaniumStarter V2.0: real improvements !!!

Hi,
I've been checking out xda-developers for a while now, just for fun in the beginning. But three months ago i bought my very own hd2, and I started developing So I've been making this today screen replacement called Genius Suit. It's something completely new. I tried to actually make themes of actual pictures to give the user a richer experience. A 'alpha' version is kind of working on my hd2 now, quicker than I expected. Well, enough talking, let me show it to you!
Features:
- Immersive experience through real pictures!
- Live wallpapers (called motions within the Suit)
- Weather forcast
- Start menu replacement
- Music/Video player. (Not fully implented yet)
- Draggable icons
- Desktop windows like task manager
To be implented (to do list):
- Full video and audio support
- OpenGL acceleration (already made some progress here)
- A functional settings menu
- Make it a today screen plugin (now only an .exe file)
- Replace the default windows manager (kind of hard)
- Speed tweaks
- Maybe some widget support
I might be opening this up for beta testing in the next month or so, depends on how quickly I can implent most of my to do list
Let me know what you think!
Maxim
EDIT: For some reason I can't implement outside links or something, says the moderators have to aprove me, so you will have to wait for screenshots
you didn't show anything. you only let us read
any screenies or any sort of teaser?
i'm sure lot's of people will be dying to try.
keep up the good work!
oops.. dbl post
just put the link with a * in it or something..
curious to see the layout, but the today screen plugin is a very good PLUS for me...
i hope is not only for HD2...i have a tilt2....
Are you certain that it's 'Suit' and not 'Suite'?
Anyway, looking forward to seeing this. Holler if you need anything
More of an App than a Theme - so moved to that Forum

First Impressions
I just discovered this app and thought I'd leave my first impressions. Here goes...
At first go it's just what I've been looking for: a simple checklist app. It seems to be just that. I wouldn't say it's immediately intuitive, but with some messing around I picked up the basic routine. As with all things, with a little more playing around it will become 2nd nature. You should be aware, however, that the screen doesn't render properly in landscape (my phone is a TP2 [WVGA] see details in sig). As such, I couldn't confirm compatibility with the hard keyboard on my device.
Also, something to consider for future development, would be a way to create a link for a specific list that can be placed in one's calendar/appt editor. This probably takes away from the simplicity aspect, but that would be really slick!
I'll play with it some more throughout the week, but for simplicity's sake I like what you've put together -- at least on 1st impressions. Thanks for sharing!
thank you very much for your comments

May I leave some friendly feedback?
(I'm going to assume you said "yes"...)
First of all, allow me to repeat that this is a great little app. Simple and useful. Further, you have shared it with us freely, and I'm the first to acknowledge "beggars can't be choosy." With this in mind, I offer the following...
The boot time is too slow. One would think that given how light-weight this app is, it should load much like an immediate toggle on/toggle off application. While you're deserving of the credit appearing in your 'welcome'/'boot' screen, perhaps eliminating this feature would speed the load time? Even if it would not speed the load, I would like to see the Category menu straight away without an extra screen to pass through.
Second, it would be nice if Categories, and not just Items, could be saved to the vault. (Am I missing something?) It would be nice to create a simple template to the vault, then be able to copy a version to the active menu which could be applied as needed. Make sense?
Lastly, would it be possible to move the command bar down a centimeter or so? That way 4 full Category/Item panels could be visible w/o having to scroll up/down. I understand it's placed to accommodate ergonomic thumb usage, but to see 4 full Item panels, as opposed to 3 1/2, would be worth the slight stretch...
I'm really looking forward to a WVGA version as I'll be able to use the keyboard on my TP2, which would make this even MORE useful!
Once again, many thanks!!!
p.s. - There's also a couple of spelling errors in the menu guides. 'Aproove' comes to mind right off. ('Approve' is correct) However, your English is far superior to my Greek, so I have no room to criticize...

The boot time is extremely slow... Its not my fault... This programming language is slow (even a "Hello world" takes 3-4 secs to load)
In the new version you have the option to disable the splash screen

Why you make your life so difficult?

In the new version you can adjust the row height of the items/categories
I'm really looking forward to a WVGA version as I'll be able to use the keyboard on my TP2, which would make this even MORE useful!
Wait 30 minutes...
Once again, many thanks!!!

...not bad, I'm also think about this topic...but, keep in mind the important issue: "small and easy".
I think, these is the most benefit from this app, so any new features should be aware of this point before added.
(MASPWARE Checklist, as example, looks nice, but you could be very easily lost in categories and items in up to 4 stages of deep)
But you're right, there are some improvents possible - let's see, what others will say and give Dadi68 a chance to enjoy the summer before making a version 3.0...

2 weeks left for vacations guys
Ok, add categories to vault...
you mean an empty cateory or a category full of items?
I started to like that idea

Yes, a category full of items: a template. For example, a simple agenda template...
A template of the user's own design could be kept in the vault. In my case, there are occasions when I don't need to use a full appointment editor; I just need to keep a running list of contacts and times for any given day. Instead of retyping the time increments over and over, a blank agenda is always at the ready!
Although, this brings up another issue for me:
Whenever I attempt to edit one of the time slots on my agenda template, I get the warning seen in the pic above. I have the current-most NETCF v35 on my device, in addition to the NET CF v35 Messages.EN.wm .cab: am I missing anything? If I click 'yes' I'm able to continue and add a contact to a time slot, but the error message repeats with each edit.
Looking for ward to watching your app evolve -- Thanks!
