D9 - replacement freeware dialler

Attached is an early alpha version of D9, a replacement for the built-in dialler. The main features are:
* Predictive text contact lookup
* Fast
* Big (thumb-friendly) buttons
* Free
Source code, a website and various other bits and pieces will be arriving in due course. In the meantime, however, please do feel free to try it out and give it a go.
I'm looking for feedback, so please let me know what you think!

I think it's a very good start. The application, as you said, takes 2-3 seconds to start the first time, but it's not a big problem. It is very quick for finding contacts. Buttons are big enough and the use of vibra very useful.
Here is some features that could be useful in my point of view:
- Possibility to have contacts sorted by the Outlook field 'View as' (or 'Save as' or 'Fill as'. Don't know what MS translated into 'Classer sous').
- Or if not possible, sorting (finding) contacts by company, name and firstname.
- Clear the previous search automatically when the application comes to the foreground.
- Option to switch to internal dialer once the contact has been dialed.
- Highlight the found string in the contact name (this is nice to have more than really useful).
Hope it helps. I look forward to next version.

Thanks for the great suggestions. I'll see what I can do!

Hi Mike,
I was looking for something with a big "exit" button like this one, so I did a try to it.
Unfortunely my XDA II gives me an error every time I tap the screen when the program and library was installed on SD card.
When installed on main memory it was fine making calls but when I got an incoming call the built-in dialler was the one coming up to the screen.
The main problem for me is that I don't want to play with the penn while driving after I got a call to close the dialler screen and I need it closed to see the TomTom Navigator.
Mostly of you drive a car, I do a motorbike, so it's not very funny to try to hit the small "X" with a small penn and big gloves.
I will look for a new version.

Hi Jose,
Sorry, I don't have an XDA II myself - I've only tested on my JAM. Could you tell me what the error message is?

I will do tomorrow as I need to install it again on the SD card, but I think you don't need worry too much about it. It's typical to get some errors, like libraries (dll, ocx...) are not installed when it's done on SD cards.
But the main problem for me still remains, to get the incoming calls through your program. Currently is the buil-in the one comes up.
See you tomorrow,
Jose

Hi Mike
I did install again your program on the SD card and this is the error I get as far I tap the screen:
I suppose you don't understand Spanish so I'll do a translation:
"Unexpected error in D9.exe. Tap Salir (Exit) and reinitialize the program or tap Detalles (Details) to get more information".
If you tap Details then a new similar screen comes up and says:
"D9.exe
TypeLoadException"
As I said in my former message, all this doesn't happen if the program is installed in the Default folder.
Hope it helps.
Jose Adell

Hi Mike,
installed your program with no problems at all.
I have a Qtek 2020 with 1.72 WWE installed.
Works OK and finds the contacts correctly, by first or by last name.
It is a simple, thus easy to use and load program.
The only thing to point out is that I would prefer a slightly larger font on the number and name display, making it more 'readable' when on the move, e.g. car, where I will be more likelly to use it.
regards,
george

Hi Mike,
I have been waiting for an update to your great program. Is it possible that it could be mapped to the Send/End keys? Maybe you and Maimaich could get together on this?
I also agree with the previous posts to enlarge the contact name font. And I miss the speed dial option from your previous version (which does work on WM2003). Keep up the good work.

Feature wanted
It would be nice if I could navigate the buttons on the screen using the D-pad. With this, I can then write sms without the need to press on the screen and leave my messy fingerprints on it. :lol:

Thank you for your job. It looks much better on my MDA Compact. I even think about using it in replacement of the built-in dialer would it dial DTMF tones in the line. This is the worst thing that stops me from using it :-(
As minor features I'd like to see more large and contrast phone number, no vibra but sound when touching screen buttons, ability to map this program to the MDA's buttons on-hook and off-hook. Also I guess this is not a good idea to press "Clear" to start the new history for the phone number.
Sorry for the mostly negative commens - I wish the program become a real replacement for the standard dialer.

Yes great app, but the lack of tones doesn't make it easy to manage the message box on the Orange answering machine.

international characters
i'm going to try this new version. i have done simple app for previous version of D9 that converts all international chars (codepage cp1250) to ascii and change order of firstname and lastname to lastname firstname. there is source code avalable so i can add this feature if not avail and i'll share it. i like so much previous version and i'll see this one tomorrow. i'm looking forward.

very nice tool ! I use it all the time now ! keep up the good work :lol:

Glad you like it!
I've made a webpage for D9, and also have posted up a version of the source code (it's actually slightly newer than the current binary, so think of it as a work in progress). The site can be found here:
http://www.pocketgamer.org/d9/
You can download the source code directly from here:
http://www.pocketgamer.org/d9/source.zip
Please feel free to use / adapt / improve the code as you wish! Note that I've used two external components, Poom .NET (for contacts operations) and OpenNET CF (dialling, vibrate functionality).

Any thoughts on adding the tones for voice mail operation ?

I'd love to! Does anyone know of any example code for generating the tones...?

The tones are called DTMF-tones:
A list with the frequencies can be found here:
http://www.zytrax.com/tech/telephony/dtmf_tones.htm

Made a new skin for D9 dialer
I Just made 1 skin for D9 dialer, in 2 variations, (look at dial and clear buttons).
Unzip to D9 directory, overwrite - yes.

hey cool app but how do i use the hax one on the right with the SMS,
ive been after a SMS app that did full screen vertical typing for a while.
will this one do it ?

Group SMS Solution - My Very Own

Hi Everbody,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is the first time I am getting my hands dirty with Windows Mobile development.
So here is a little app that I developed : Group SMS Solution.
As the name suggest it is basically a program to send smses to a group of people at the same time.
Foll. are the features:
1. Category Wise Contact Pickup
2. Individual Contact Pickup made easy
3. works with WM5 and WM6.
4. Seems to be moderately paced as it is written using managed code but does the job well.
5. It is free.
PREREQUISITES:
.NET Compact framework 2
download here :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6b-356b-4a2c-857c-e62f50ae9a55&displaylang=en
DISCLAIMER:
This program is written using managed code so it technically cannot harm your windows mobile device but anyways do not blame me for anything.

Hi shailesh, great work..let me test and come back

Feedback
Pls do give me Feedback, suggestions etc as this is my First app & it will really Keep me ticking.

Very well done shailesh now it will help me send group message.

it is working with my imate jasjam although i installed net framework 2
the message appear:ERROR
"this application requires a newer version of Microsoft NET Compact Framework than the version installed on the device."!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

Nice app - well done. Works just fine on my artemis, cheers

Hi Shailesh,
This is certainly a very nice and extremely useful app for WM devices.
I've tested it briefly on my WM5 Herald and it works great. I do have a few minor bug reports and feature suggestions for your next version:
1. When contacts belong to multiple custom groups, it lists the same group twice with a space before the group name. So if some contacts are in the group called Ping and others are in the group called Pong and yet others are in both groups, it will list "Ping", "Pong" and " Ping" and " Pong"
2. Could you possibly add a context menu for the text editor where you do Cut/Copy/Paste rather than the Paste from Clipboard button?
3. In the final screen, if you press Back, it takes you right back to the first text entry screen rather than just one screen back.
Will test and give you any further inputs soon.
Thank you for the excellent app that you've given to the community for free!

Hey thanks for pointing out the bug SayMobile,
#1. I have fixed the bug as pointed out
#2. I thought the framework would automatically provide the Cut/Copy/Paste feature but it did not, anyways the button is doing the needful.
#3. It have purposely kept it that way
Please download the new cab from the first page.

Custom Taskbar
I know there´s people working on this using batterystatus. BUT
make a program that hides the wm taskbar, and you can put your custom one would be great.

This!!! lol

Auto update SIM contacts
My SIM card is an emergency backup if my phone becomes unusable. I would like an application that automatically adds new contacts and updates any changed contacts from the phone to the SIM card.

PIM Backup v2.8 .. i hope this help u

What would be great to have in a ppc:
1. a finger friendly RSS viewer in A_C style able to play videos, sounds and display html articles without link to a Pocket Internet Explorer page
2. a finger friendly internet explorer. NetFront is the best one i saw for ppc but a Safari "remake" (not Safari-like) would be great. I saw in my wife's iphone and i can say it's the BEST internet browser ever.
3. a "webmail" client, i don't know how to explain this. It's also an iphone idea. Somewhat like a RSS reader, with which you login in your mailbox without the "push" thing. And then it works like a "refresh" on a webpage.
4. a slideshow (for a picture browser just like A_C's S2V) with "really" nice transitions effects, for entertaining purposes
5. a calendar app just like ThumbCal but with all the views and fields available in WM Calendar with one more feature. The ability to share an appointment (via sms for example) with another WM user who got the same app (so eventually installing this calender it will add a feature to the sms software to "add the received event")
Maybe it's too much oh, and:
6. if there is a WM app to let my contacts with address become a POI for the famous navigation softwares (MioMap, Tomtom, Navigon, etc.) it would be great.

He wants the contacts copied from Outlook to the SIM card automatically. That is, he adds contacts to Outlook, then, without any effort on his part, on some regular schedule, the app should look in Outlook and find new contacts and copy them to the SIM card.
I don't see in the PIMBackup thread that it is capable of this.

Better Device Password App
This has been suggested before...most recently I saw it in the S2U2 thread....
What I need is a better device password app....or maybe just an app that lets us skin the default WinMo password function. I absolutely love S2U2, but there is really no "security" about it. Anyone can unlock my phone with no issues. I have also tried using both S2U2 and the default password function. Works, but not smooth by any means.
Someone suggested modifying S2U2 to be like the iPhone's unlock function (gasp!). For that, you slide first, then are prompted for a pin code. That would be the perfect, best of both worlds, app.
Back in the WM2003 days, there were several apps like this (e.g., NiceStart, 1-Pass), but nothing since. There is PocketSecure, which is a great app, by a good developer, but right now it does not meet my needs (notification issue).
Thoughts?

Thank you for your reply Dr.Mazika. Can't install the Opera 9.5 beta from an old link found on XDA because it (probably) counted the days i used Opera 8 trial in the past. So 0 days left and i couldn't find any other link about it (they don't even sell it?).
About the software already on the stage, you are right i should ask features there, but i am thinking that with more features something like thumbcal will lose its purpose: "tap tap et voilà, you are busy tomorrow night", and it won't be like that if it becomes full of options and features (althought maybe the views are possible).

I have been looking for the message screen colours to be inverted. I love the black themes and it would be so much better to just have black screen with white message. Im sure this couldnt be so hard to do for someone with experience??? would it?​

i 2nd tat, but there should be some screen saver to superseed the default win password screen..just in case, somebody hardreset ur phone.

i would love to have a more comfortable Network-Tool,
maybe providing ping, ipconfig, telnet, (i know there's a nice putty version but it has no lan config tools) tracert, route tracert etc.^^
so i don't know if this is possible or if it has allready been realised, as you metioned just a suggestion..

Without detailed knowledge about the background of this request, I'd say: try this automation task with Mirko Schenks' MortScript
http://mort.sto-helit.de/index.php?module=page&entry=ms_overview&action=view&menu=29

i just want to send an automatic sms to the service center that request the detail of my usage. i want to keep track of how many MBs and minutes are left from my account
i think you forgot to post the script

fatso485 said:
...
i think you forgot to post the script
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
that was a good one... uups ;-) I'm serious now:
<MortScript>
MortScript is a script interpreter that allows you to do a lot of task automation stuff and even a quite huge command set for implementing logic, it is not a ready-to-run script that matches your "autosms sending" needs. I dont know much about MortScript but I know that is it very powerfull.
</MortScript>
Perhaps you'd like to have a look at this: autosms 0.43 (Feb 04 09), created yesterday
Motivated by ur request, I did some dev playing with sms coding yesterday on the train and here's a WinMobile prog that's doing the job... but caution: this is a very early (and ugly looking) version.
There is currently no MINIMIZE but you can simply keep the prog open.
Some menu items are not set so far, i.e. EXIT. If you want to exit, just use the upper right 'x'.
The STARTBUTTON toogles between Start to STOP and starts/stops the timer.
The first message is sent directly after pushing on START.
When STOPPING, sending shortMessages is stopped and the timer is reset to the cycle time set in the form field 'send every ___ Mins'.
The settings are stored in autosms.ini and are loaded at prog start and saved at prog end.
The prog works fine and stable on my X1, anyway there is an issue with VGA devices but as I told you, this is an early hack...
Be aware: autosms comes "as is" without any guarantees or warranty. You use it for your own risk. autosms automatically sends short messages every X Minutes (preset X to 2000) to the set cell phone number. Using autosms can cost u a fortune, so, I'm not responsible for any financial desaster or data loss or and legal trouble you might produce when bothering others through sms flodding.
so short

Feb 06 2009:
see download and Changelog here

thank you so much for your work. it really does work.i need to leave it for a couple of days to test stability. i will also add it to the start up programs
a few things to look into in case you get borded and decide to update this:
-as you said, needs to minimize. starting it again does not seem to work.i had to reboot my device
-used vga3fix to get vga resolution and it seems to work fine
-i changed the default 2000 to 2 just to test and it started sending every two seconds not minutes (thank god service center messages are FREE) i got
- the dialog that has 60,1440,2880 doesnt do anything
thanks again

sorry!!! I am internally multiplying the field value with 1000 because the internal timer counts in ms... and of cause: 2000 ms = 2 s

did you try power sms ?

seems like a nice update. .. thanks
will look into power sms after i test 0.44 properly. thanks

Try RJV SMS Scheduler

thank
Thank i will try it out

where were all these replies before. you made snoman reach his 3rd version before answering.......jk
snoman, for text version. how about you make it more friendly for phone startup. i just want to make it easy to autosms start without me having to manually run it and then click "start".
how about you just make it come with another executable (that is fully automatic) that we can create a shortcut to from the startup folder from win directory

good idea. I'll make a parameter just only need to add after the .exe in the shortcut, i.e.
'autosms.exe autostart' if'll then reads the settings from ini and automatically switches into start mode
ok?
(I'm currently at the cabaret, I think this mod is done tomorrow)
Best

Thanks again. I just made the first CAB file for installation. If works fine on my XDA Neo.
Would you mind checking out if it works on ur device?

the cab runs just fine on my device and the qvga wizard. thanks for your work. your program is set to work from startup
now im just being picky with the following wishlist:
-but why did the size grow from 25k to 115k for the same thing. any way of making the cab smaller. maybe recompressing indivsual files?
-not important but also can you somehow make it work as single portable executable (like pimBackup 2.8 that everybody loved to just keep in the SD card)
-also the red square icon is a bit on the plane side how about you just reuse the envelope and stopwatch used in the program as the icon for autosms

Thank you for testing and the reply!

Well, the size is mainly given by the exe and the dll and the bitmap I use and they need approx. 110 KB. My CAB builder does not compress, maybe he cannot or I havn't found the flag. I'll check it out these days.

Beside the need to deliver some dlls the single-file-solution means to give up with saving the parameters like "Cellphone No" or "Message Text" who need at least a file for storage and I'd like to avoid the registry.

Indeed, that's a todo right done after making my own offical program icon.

Titanium Plugin Development (API?)

Hi all, I seem to be having trouble finding any sort of documentation on how to develop Titanium Plugins for the WM6.5 home screen... Is there any information out there that someone could point me to? My plan is to use Visual Studio 2008 (3.5 .Net) if that makes any difference... Thanks for any help.

Well it's all about interaction with registry. You could also use mortscript. even tho Visual Studio can do it too. You just need to write the needed keys to the registry, and point to them in your .cpr file.

Thanks for the tip. Are there any places where this is documented...? Seems a bit strange to keep this information so well hidden...
I'll continue the search...

Even though I'm logged in on Windows Live I have no access to your live space ...

Thanks for the pointers... and as far as official documentation goes, it doesn't seem that forth coming... btw, I can't view blauze space either.

I was trying to figure out a similar thing.
I manually added a panel to Titanium called "Battery". What I wanted was a little tool that put the latest battery charge percentage as the panel name.
After a bit of digging I realised the following code kind of works:
Code:
Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Page1", True)
key.SetValue("TEXT1", Status.SystemState.GetValue(Status.SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength) & "%")
key.Close()
It does successfully change the name of the first page of the panel to the latest battery charge.
Only problem now is, I can't figure out how to get Titanium to refresh... in other words, how to get it to re-read the registry keys. At the moment, it only works by soft-resetting the phone!

Simply change "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Updated" from its current value to another.

Has anyone figured out a way to do a registry update or execute a script when a panel/page is selected in Titanium without having to "click" it to update?
Here's what I'd like to do... let's say I have a Twitter panel that retrieves my unread tweets every NN minutes. Sliding left/right switches between the tweets, but as I slide onto a tweet, I want to mark it from UnRead to Read in a registry setting. I currently can "click" it to update the status to Read, but havn't found anyway to do it otherwise.
I asked this awhile ago, the thread sat and went stale with no responses. Just wondering if someone ran across a new trick.

Okay, I have no ability to create panels and such, However I have 2 ideas for panels. One, the BAF Gps Toggle panel and a notes panel where a new page is created for each note (similar to taskanium) Anyone think they could do these?? Attached is the .cab for the GPS toggle if needed.
