Hi everyone.
I think it's the right time to open a new thread for iContact. Version 0.6 and it's source code are out. New in 0.6 are:
simple favorites management. Sliding a contact from left to right brings a plus sign. It's a little tricky at first, but i got used to it. Tapping on the plus sign tags a contact as favorite. If the contact is already favorite, you can unfavorite it (does that word exist?
Pushing "Right" on the D-pad brings the favorites window. Pushing "Left" brings "all contacts" window.
"mobile" and "work" numbers have "sms" option. Tapping it will bring new sms window.
"email" option works if you have configured email account, and have it entered in iContact settings file.
D-pad navigation is fully supported in contact details. Left key brings you back to contact list, while Right key brings you "new sms dialog" if currently selected number has sms option.
settings.ini file has been added. It must reside in the same directory as iContact.exe. You can setup your email account in there and you can also setup strings used throughout the app ("mobile", "sms", "ABC" etc ...)
other small fixes
There will probably be bugs, as always. However, this time I've included the source code. I encourage anyone interested and skilled to use the source code. It's in best interest for the whole community if iContact continues to evolve. And even faster than it has until now.
I know the code is the mess, so i don't need to be reminded of that fact X).
Other reason for releasing source code is that i really have no free time to develop this app. I'm looking forward to see how this app will evolve in hands of skilled programmers. iContact satisfies MY needs, and more, but i realize there are people that have different needs. So, go ahead, grab the source and good luck.
The source code released doesn't have a specific license attached. However, I'd suggest anyone who will use it to consider returning something to the community. That is something that makes a good community that good.
Thank you all for you support and comments. I hope this is best for community.
Take care,
larna
Very classy move. Well done!
I Love this program, keep up the good work!
*Edit*: for some reason this version isn't working for me. I have the settings.ini in the same folder and for some reason when I click on the prog it doesn't open up.
thank you very much
Thanks larna, using your app for contacts since its birth.
Thats a good move to open source.
thank you so much for your great work !
keep going !
Thanks larna
most popular application...
Waht about VGA ?
also the cab installer ?
Create CAB File ? Thankyou
can you modify it so that when we type in a letter, it will go to the nearest match. for example, if we have 15 contacts with the the letter H, I would love it if we press the letter on our keypad and it will go to the nearest one.
Homer Simpson
Homer Tux
Homer Zebra
Homer Zeeja
if I type in zeb, it will bring up Homer Zebra as my nearest match...I know that I can scroll to the name...
iContacts v0.6.cab

Whoah, i totally forgot about "Add new contact" button. That shouldn't be to hard to fix. Anyone up to it?
Thx for comments, and thanks for the cab file phouki.

Great job! Tanks!
Thanks very, very much for releasing the source!
Just trying to get into WM coding at the moment, one of the things I wanted to do was v similar to iContacts, you just saved me a load of work!
What I want is:
* iContacts, but as a today screen item
* Finger scroll still works as an ultimatelaunch face - remove left and right gesture from iContacts if needs be.
* Option to only display contacts in certain categories - alternative to left+right gesture to do favorites
* Pictures by contact names where available.
Of course, if I manage to get it working, I will release back to everybody
Good luck evilc, i know you'll need it (luck that is) .

the sms option works nicely opening up text messaging and starting a new message to that person but email (poutlook) does not work. It opens up poutlook and thats it. It shoudl open and start a new email to that address. how can this be done? what exactly needs to be changed in the settings.ini file with the email account (using just activesync for push)

I must admit i am not entirely sure how email button should function.
When i open POutlook it displays "Select an Account" window. If you have email account setup it should display on that window. Name of the account is listed in bigger font size, and email address is listed in smaller font size.
You should enter email account name in settings ini file:
;E-mail account name from pocket outlook
email_account=email_account_name
However, as i said, there may be the cases where such thing may not work and i can't help you then.

Sounds like you need pocketCM contacts?
By default WM shows your contacts last name first. You can set a contact to show first name first by editing the 'File as' field of that contact. (Click on 'more' in the edit contact page if you can't find this option).
In effect, the 'file as' field doesn't change the order of last/first name but allows you to file the contact under any (nick)name you like. But if you fill in the first and then the last name of your contacts, it has the same effect as changing the order of names would.
A program called Contact Changer automatically updates the 'file as' field of all of your existing contacts, as you can read in this thread.
You could probably schedule the program to run periodically, using scheduling software like G-alarm.
Google Sync interferes with name order
Google Sync changes the 'file as' field back to last name, first name. See this thread.
First name first in contacts Windows Mobile
Thanks for the GREAT program!!!
This is awesome. Getting ready to try it. I was getting tired of manually going in and making the changes each time I flashed a new rom. Will post results back in a bit.
Exactly what I needed, simple program, works perfectly!
Great little app
This is what I was looking for. I know Win 6.5 is old but I ordered new HTC HD2, got it 3 days ago and still it has Win 6.5. So this little app saved lots of my time
Thanks Buzink, that's a great little app!!
Just found this little app it synces your Tasks with google calendar.
Just in case backup your tasks before using it.

Tried?
Thanks for pointing this out Arturo.
Have you tried it?
If yes, what's your opinion?
I ask because I don't know this developer.

I don't know the developer either but yes it works. It synchronizes tasks both ways and basically it reads task categories from your mobile and transfer all your task from a category to newly created sub-category in your gmail task window. So if you have for a example a taks called "change oil" with category "Car", the app will create a category "Car" in your gmail -calendar task window and there you will find all your tasks with category car. Unfortunately you can only view one category at a time in your calendar, so if you want to view all tasks from category for example "business" you will have to switch it from category "car" to category "business"in g- calendar. And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile, unless i edit it manually which is kind of pain in the ass. Try it for yourself and see how it works for you.
cheers
Thank you!!

Your welcome.
Let me know if you also have this problem in your calendar:
"And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile"
Maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Also it synchronizes all the past(completed?) tasks from your device so it might take a while.
Hi
Hi guys, just wanted to mention that I'm the author of this app, so if you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to contact me
I'll be monitoring this thread, and can also be contacted on nilsnett at gmail dot com.
Trying it
I am trying the program
I am not experiencing fo now the space in front of the tasks, maybe because I am trying a recent version?
It's not clear to me if and how I can have automatic syncing. Do I do it manually?

The space in front is related to an issue with the way Google Calendar are handling creation of task groups, not the GogTasks app, as arturo points out.
I recommend you guys work with the task list from a different web interface - like for instance the one at http://mail.google.com/tasks/ig or the iGoogle tasks plugin.
With regards to automatic syncing, it does not support that as of yet. I'm planning that option for a future release thought
Unable to Synchronise personal task account
FANTASTIC application.
Unfortunately although it installs correctly and shows all my local
tasks - it refuses to synchronise.
I get the following error:
Communication Error: GTL Cookie Not Set.
With a whole lot of error code afterwards.
I have tried installing to storage card and locally.
I have tried re-booting the device.
I am running a UK HTC HD2 with:
WinMo 6.5
ROM 1.66 WWE
Manila 2.5.1921
C0okies Home Tab 1.8.5
Thank you for your help in advance - I am a heavy user of Google Tasks
and it would be GREAT to be able to synchronise on my phone.
Communication Error: GTL Cookie Not Set
Unfortunately, Got the same problem as above..
I'm working on the problem... I have a suspicion it is related to the fact that Google redirects you to a local server as a part of the authentication process (from www.google.com to i.e. www.google.co.uk) and that that server produces sligthly different output or cookies than the one I'm testing against. I'll see if I can force google to go to a specific server.
Just to be sure.. If one of you please could test GogTasks v1.1 that would be great. I just want to rule out it's not an error I introduced in v2.0 or 2.1. You can get the version from www.gogtasks.com
Works on Samsung sch-i910 on Verizon USA.
Sync on startup and on demand works well. Auto sync would be the best, but it would be useful if, when you close it, it would notify you that a task has been edited without being synced.
Nicely done, I've been hoping for something like this. Hope Google doesn't break it.
I think I am using v. 1.1 and it syncs, even if sometimes it refuses to.
How can I check the Gogtasks version I have (I don't remember which one I installed...)?

Plug your device to your computer, copy the following file from the device to your PC: \program files\gogtasks\MobileEntities.dll. Right-click on the copy of the file and check Properties>Details>Product version. The two first numbers indicate major/minor version.

Hi all.
I'm close to completing my first ever app and I really need some people to test it out for me, which is proving very difficult!
My app, called 'attigo' (a Latin term for 'I have arrived') is a simple app that will remind you to send a predefined message to selected contacts on your phone when you get to a predefined destination.
In this initial version, you will get a toast notification if the app is running in the background, and when you open up the app, it should create the message automatically for you so all you need to do is hit send. Future versions of the app will feature automated messaging, but that is not included in this version.
Currently there are a few minor bugs that I need to resolve, which I should have done before the end of the weekend and I'm hoping that by then I will have some email addresses of people to sign up to the beta to test over the coming week.
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!
Send me your MS email address via PM and I will get you signed up!
Thanks,
Steve
Hi,
I bought Sonic Sender and due to some changes in Google policy, App Developer has to taken down the app from Google Play Store. This app is very useful since it send automatically message oon whatsapp to selected contacts (For example I need to send New Year Wishes to 400 people out of my 700 whatsapp contact). I have to choose contact, select media and text and click on Send. It send automaticllay one by one to selected whatsapp contact and thus saving my time. I was using the app even after removing from play store but yesterday due to some reason I uninstalled and reinstalled app. App Version 2.0.6 which is readily available on many website crashes after opening of app (I guess due to non-availability of same on Play Store) and Version 2.1.1 stuck with Google Login and when I select account it throw error Failed to Authenticate.
Can any one help me getting the app working again or can some one suggest me any alternative to said app.
Thanks in Advance....

Did you find any alternative of Sonic Sender?
Same happened with me, i had even paid for the full version of the app, but the developer has stopped supporting this app, hence the error. Now the app tries to verify licence with Google during startup which fails due to obvious reasons. After googling a bit, i tried bypassing google licence verification using lucky patcher, but unfortunately the app had a check to prevent such hacks. I tried reaching the developer on [email protected], but got no reply.
The only way out I see is to either pester the developer to provide a usable version of the app or by using a third party app modifier like lucky patcher to bypass the verification.
Any help will be appreciated
