[UPDATED 20080411] - Contact Utilities - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi All,
I've developed a small app to aid-me on organizing some settings on pocket outlook.
So i have putted it all together and came up with this tool.
1. -Set contact's display name for the contact's view - several formats
2. -Add Birthdays and Anniversaries to calendar;
3. -Set Contacts Picture
4. -Set ringtone based on category.
How it works.
-Install App;
-Go to Settings, provide each one of the necessary values;
-Save <Very important>;
-Go to Menu ->Contacts and select the feature you want;
Has I don't have that much time available, this tool will be updated in an "has i can" schedule.
Please leave any comments, bugs/suggestions, etc.
One bug i have is about setting the displayname (or fileas), some times you have to make a 2nd or 3rd pass in order to apply to all contacts.
UPDATE 20.02.2008
-Contact Backup/Restore - working
-"i installed and have error for contact pictures location. I try to change the location, but it shows error n need to quit the program."
-> I've had this problem also, it seem to be related to IE cache Folders, added exception handling to the folder dialog in order to allow the program to continue.
-Added default pictures for contacts (male/female), its calculated with the last letter from firstname (or lastname if fisrts is empy) (if it ends in "a" it will be marked as female picture[Marilyn Monroe else... Elvis (it works in 90% here in portugal ) NOTE: U have to manually put these pictures into contacts folder.
UPDATE 18.03.2008 - V1.2
-some modifications on the birthdays and anniversary's date time tasks (will start at 10AM till 23:30PM).
-some visual and log modifications.
-wait cursor on settings load ( it takes some time).
-minor corrections
UPDATE 11.04.2008 - V1.2.1 View attachment ContactUtilitiesInstaller_v1.2.1.CAB
mangojuice - your wish is my command...
minor corrections.

Vou testar!
I'll give it a go!
Thanks for this one will test and report back!

Will give it a try. Thanks.

thks for your job
the backup function don't work !

Thank you very much for this great, usful little program!
I like it really much, though the backup funtion indeed doesn't work.
again, thank you for your hard work!

i installed and have error for contact pictures location. I try to change the location, but it shows error n need to quit the program.

the boy and girl picture thing, replaced all the existing contact pictures I had... thank god I backed them up first!
and by the way, my friend installed this program on his phone with a chinese rom, and it went pretty well! just to inform you.

yes,well...

Great program, but here is a bug.
On <setup>, under <Ringtones> with <Categories> window pull down. Repeated Busines, Business, Personal, Personl, Business, Business, Friends, Business, Business.....and on and on.
Can you fix this?

hummm, strange behavior..
can u validate your settings please: u will find a xmlfile in the program dir, open that file and check the values of picture location and picture format.
also check that , for instance, u have a contact and a picture format of firstname_lastname then...
FirsName="John"
MiddleName="ANY"
LastName="Marcus"
there should exist, under picture location, a file named john_marcus.xxx (xxx=jpg,png or gif). I recommend this filename format has in many cases the other fields aren't filled (company, tittle...) mabe the format u choosed is making the prog to look for a filename that is being malformed by the prog (somethng like "_Carlos_Lopes.gif") so please post your format options.
If finding the picture fails, the prog calculates if name is male/female (i'll put an option for this in the future) and applies the defaultF or M picture to the contact.
So, something is failing, i had a prob with the settings xml file that was not beeing updated, so please check your settings.
u can "fix" this picture replacement by deleting the defaultm and defaultf.gif files
Thanks for using it

I confess that i haven't test that yet, i have no cats in contacts. will fix-it next update (mabe to..day).

21.02.2008
-Fixed duplicate entry in Categories combobox;
-Added option to process the NotFound Pictures in contacts.
Notes: Restore Function crashes if Date formats are not the same!

ok great,
i need to export my contacts by bluetooth
is it possible whit this?
thnaks

wow...
can't believe there has such little but functional appl....
thanks for making life easier...

hey great app... but had to run it two or three times before it converts all my contacts into firstname-lastname format.. each time it converts just few of the contacts.. havent tried anyother functionalities..
i am using htc gene.

Export via bluetooth to where? (no, it's not possible)
U can still try to send the backup file to any other computer , it's a XML file so i think it can be oppened via MS Excel...have not tried it yet..

Yes, read the posts, i already stated that before, I don't know why that happens the code is the same. just push the button 3 or 4 times and the thing will go .

UPDATE
Update ContactUtilities v1.1.1c
Fixed: Add Birthdays
- fixed non valid dates;
- fixed Anniversary date was using birthday date;

SMSHelper

My officemate made this application after we found out that it is almost impossible to send an SMS message while driving or walking. Since we were used to the cellular phone style of messaging, SMSHelper was made.
Copy the SMSHelper.exe to you \Windows\Start Menu and the SMSSettings.cfg to your \Windows directory.
When you first launch the application, go to File > Settings and set your country code and message type to Class 1. You can also enter a default recipient if you have a contact you often send to.
This is the first version so be please post any problems you encounter, have fun SMSing
thanks man.. will give it a try
Great Job so far, but a couple of problems so far:
Major: Everytime I send a message it fails "Message Failed! Network error (tried entering the number myself and it worked - so its a problem when sending from contacts).
Took awhile to find out how to space, might be nice to have a space button near the backspace.
Thanks, I have been waiting for a simple\easy SMS program.
Application is good, but I have 2 suggestions:
1. I have recorded contacts in my address book by using +48, but your application recognizes only 48 without +. In consequence, message sent by using contacts, is fails.
2. There will be better idea if your application is one of some kind of keyboard, user can chose from keyboard list. Then, message you sent will be record in sent items.
Greeting,
Yazzon
Ayos!
Great job bro!
So far so good. For my suggestions, I agree with Yazzon's.
1. Include this application as one of input options (e.g. keyboard, transcriber, etc..). i think it would require hacking of somekind, i dont really know, but I know you can do it, or your officemate can.
2. SMS should be saved in Sent Items folder after sending.
3. And most important of all, perhaps you could add a character counter somewhere.
Overall, its a great application. Bravo! Magaling talaga tayong mga Pinoys, naks, hehehe

...and another thing. Maybe you could change the character sequence of button 1, i think the appropriate first character should be "." period. And perhaps you could also add a feature like "Insert Number", it somehow comes handy at times. Thanks.
thanks for your feedback, i'll pass them to my officemate.
the contacts format works like this, if you use '0'+areacode+number to store your contacts, it omits the '0' and replaces it with a '+xxx' with xxx being the country code you enter in the settings.
if you already use a '+xxx' format, the application sends the message immediately. just make sure that you set your country code in the settings or your messages will fail because the default is +63.
the messages does not appear in the sent items because it does not use the POOM or Pocket Outlook.
this is just an alpha release major improvements will be added on the succeeding realeases.
Suggestion...
I think its good if the application makes a sound when a key is pressed. Also, close app button should be removed. Sent items and outbox support + reply directly to smshelper.
Im willing to help in the development is you are willing to share the codes.

application idea: make thiefs return my MDA-Pro

Hallo, I have a cool applcation idea that I plan to implement that would probally make thiefes return my MDA-Pro after they stole it.
For that reason I need to be able to run an application or show a clickable screen on the MDA-Pro BEFORE login. That screen is supposed to be shown EVERYTIME the MDA-Pro is turned on. You can only proceed to the login screen from there with a certain keybaord shortcut. Also doing a reset should not disbale this feature. Can that be done some how ? If so how ?
I saw somewhere a password screen that was a picture and you had to click in just the right spot of the picture to gain access. I imagine that your message could be a picture to accomplish this. As for a hard reset solution, you'd have to add it to the ext rom so it would be re-installed automatically.

This can be nicely resource edited to match your theme.
However, I've stopped using all such programs because they reset your hardware button settings if you're using AEButton Plus or any third party mapper (eg ButtonMax).
I don't think this will get your phone back. I'm writing a program that might though. Working on it, I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, check out IIWPO.

Maybe I should be more specific:
I have already finished an app that does what I want:
It it has a little embedded window showing what the video conference camera currently sees. It displays some fake government info and an animated GPS localisation icon. It has several other little scary acting features (such as a windows that pops up after a short random while, saying "EuroSecure GPS localisation data and video sequence sucessfully transmitted!" ) and the thief can see the adress where the device should be returned too. That application can only be cancelled with a certain keycombination. Now my only problem is getting this application to ALWAYS run BEFORE the login screen.

nombCrypt - beta

Hello Everyone,
I just got my 8525 in the mail yesterday and upgraded the boot loader, radio, and WM6. I had a little trouble but in the end, all that I can't get working right is the internet for Cingular. I really appreciate all the hard work everyone puts into this. Here is my thank you, this is my first app so go easy on me.

nombCrypt
nombCrypt is an encryption program I originally made for the desktop but then decide to port it over. It uses a password you provide and encrypts either a block of text or files using 256bit Rijndael (AES). This level of encryption was given the ok to encrypt Top Secret documents. It can of course decrypt as well. This is for Windows Mobile 6. Please enjoy and every developer of course likes to get back feedback.
Planned/Requested Improvements
Truecrypt like encrypted containers
Implement Encrypted Backups (P)
Get File Encrypt Status Bar Working (P/R) <-- I'm dreading writing the working class :'(
Use Device ID As Salt Option (P)
Randomize Salt More (P)
Add More Encryption Algorithms (P)
Change File Open Dialog To Open Less (R) completed - now initially looks for *.nen (nombCrypt Enc. Files)
Encryption Password Confirmation (R) completed
Clipboard Paste Button (R) completed
Clipboard Clear Button (R) completed
Take Off Start Menu Icon (R) completed
Change Icon (R) completed
Add Exit To The Menu (R) completed

Hey! I wanted to do the same thing too! Just that I use my own XOR method (One Time Pad-like) instead. Of all the thing, it works alright, except that I can't get it to do a Copy-Paste. (see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321014)
Also, from what it seems, I would presume that (since you uses AES), the end result would be in 'relatively' binary format (right?), which may not be very program friendly.
I was going to do about the same thing, except that I'll have my end result Base64 encoded, such that I can have them pasted to Notes and have it sycned to outlook. And I have my PC based software to do the job there (if required).
Previously, I used a software called Ccrryyppttoo, which did quite alright, but it seems that my PC is doing some coding, when synced, that makes it goes funny (i.e. cannot be decrypted anymore).
I'll PM you a demo of what I did (in Java web), of which I intended to do it in PPC
With Rijnael the resulting encrypted string/file gets encoded into base64 as well because if it didn't, all the characters wouldn't be represented. You can paste this into notes just fine.
Mine is programmed in c# so there is a clipboard function which works relatively well. If you'd like to help with this your more than welcome to. Or if you want to join your project with mine that would be cool too. I plan to support all major and a lot of minor encryption algorithms that I can find. Plus people were complaining about how the encrypted backup on the ppc should use the device id to encrypt instead of the randomly generated key so I plan to implement that as well.
I'm looking forward to seeing your demo.
nomb
Hmm.. so it is b64 encoded.. niicceee. Hmmm. . I should try out C# soon.
Anyway, there is a suggestion, I'm not sure if you have the library for it. After my symmetric cipher program, I'm in thinking about a asymmetric-public-private key cipher, which people can exchange short messages in secret (e.g. via email, IM, SMS) without the need to exchange the key/password. It is relatively done now, I'll show you the web base version once it is done. It runs on the Java security class, which I'm not sure if C# has those library or not.
The idea is, Alice go to my page, generate a pair of keys. Alice then send Bob her pub key. Bob use pub key, go to my page, encrypt the message. Send it to Alice. Alice decrypt message at my page. No software to install, no secret key exchanged.
Yup c# has the ability to do that built into its cryptography namespace.
That is a cool idea, but instead of having Alice send the key to him. You should just make a db to keep track of the keys and then have him answer a question about Alice or something like that to use the pub key. that way thats even one less step they have to worry about. Or have Alice put in his email address and have your site auto email him the pub key. That would be good too.
But sweet idea, maybe I'll make my program talk to your site.
Have you tried mine yet?
nomb
I dont like the "answer a question" method, as in that case, you might as well use the answer as the password?
Anyway, the emailing the pub key is an idea
I'm not in my own PC yet, can't send it to my phone from this PC. Will try it out later tonight.

Ya I'm at work and was hungry so I wasn't thinking strait. I don't like that idea either. ^^
I think my next step in mine is to build the background worker class to update the progress bar when you encrypt/decrypt a file.
If you just point your phone to the cab above it will install it for you. You don't need a comp unless u don't have a dataplan.
nomb
I dont have data in my plan.. although O2 gives me 1MB+ a month free.. I'm not using it.
Anyway, I've tested your software, a few comments.
Slightly major problems:
[1] It is not wise to do a 'All folders' and 'All Files' upon browsing (for file to be de/encrypt). People (e.g. me) has gazillion files around and it may take ages to load the list.
[2] You may want to pop up a Window, asking the user to confirm his/her password upon encryption (one of the thing I intended to add on mine )
[3] I'm not able to paste any data onto the 'start text' area. E.g., I have encrypted my stuff, saved it into Notes. Later, I wanted to get it back, I copy the encrypted code from my Notes, and no way of pasting it into the 'Start text'
[4] You already knew this, but, good to have some kind of progress bar to indicate the progress
[5] Hmmm.. on the browsing, there doesn't seems to have a way to find files on my Storage Card's root directory
[6] For security reason, probably it is good for you to add a 'Clear Clipboard' button?
Minor:
[1] I find it annoying that once I had the software installed, it is on my Start menu
[2] You could use a better icon, I just see a black square on my not so bright screen. I can help you on this.
[3] Add an "Exit" on the menus below?
Other possible suggestions:
[1] Have a time out on your software, such that, e.g. if there is no activity on software after a certain amount of time, it will do one/some/all of these (a) close itself (b) clear the password, input, output (c) clear the clipboard
Good suggestions, I'll have those done by tomorrow. I can't play with the storage card aspect yet because I don't have one. :'( Soon though I'm hoping to get a 4gb. And ya, i can't make icons worth any.
Oh, to past it back I always did ctrl+v from the keyboard. But I'll throw a button up there to do that. And I'll make sure to take it off of the start menu.
1 good comment would have been nice. Altho criticism is good.
nomb
Haha.. sorry for the lack of good comments, I was trying to think of something to suggest. But come to think of it my post on top are good comments (e.g. niiiiccceee Base 64 encoded), and the fact that it has the simple string->string encryption.
I did googling a bit, and found these
http://www.entity.cc/ICONS/security-icons.php
http://www.hscripts.com/freeimages/icons/computer/lock-icon.php
http://icons.qarchive.org/
which you may want to use as your icons?
Ya I was just teasing you. The icon I have now I got off of your last link at somepoint I just don't remember when. But I think I will probably use one of the others. But ya, I'll work on those fixes and then attach the updated program. Then once I get those fixes done, I'll work on adding the differnt encryption algorithms and the encrypted backups.
nomb
Did you wrote any backup software before for the PPC? I'm not really sure, but it seems that backup-ing can have a lot of issues. You have the "Copy everything" backup, the PIM only backup, etc. Some backups are ROM-flashing/upgrading friendly, some are not. You can have a backup software all standalone by itself. I would recommend you to have the backup software seperated and have encryption onto it as a plugin. Take a look at PIM-backup, it is very popular here.
Hi,
This is a very interesting thread. Thanks for your efforts so far (is there a donation link anywhere?)
A basic question...I understood that to carry out really secure encryption it would be necessary to write a filter driver that worked within the core ROM Image. Is this not the case?
Can I encrypt the MS certificate store too? The crypto protection on this store could be beefed up...
Once again I am very pleased that this thread has appeared and will be testing your software with interest,
Well done for your work so far,
Sam.
Hey there PianoSam,
First I just want to make it clear I'm not doing this to make money. If anyone donates I want it to be because they like the software. I am at work so PayPal is blocked but I'll put my donation link on the front page later today.
Also, I am going to try and incorporate the encryption as much as possible. If that is a feature you'd like, then after I get all of the previously requested changes done, I'll start on that for you.
And thank you for your kind words.
nomb
***EDITED***
Sorry I didn't answer you question at first.
Question: A basic question...I understood that to carry out really secure encryption it would be necessary to write a filter driver that worked within the core ROM Image. Is this not the case?
Answer: I pondered over this for a little while and I can't think of a reason this would be necessary. However, I've only had my phone for two days. Can you find where you saw that so I can read it as well and maybe gather a little bit on information so I can do some research on the topic? If thats what needs to be done then thats what I'll do but I can't see why. Let me know!
Added another cab with all the fixes I've completed.
nombCrypt-beta.cab <-- On the front page.
I added the donate link.
I added the timeout feature and thought I would make a comment on it.
It is a two minute timeout. Whenever you fucos on a textbox the timer is stopped and when the textbox looses focus, the timer is on. The downside to this is if you were in the middle of typing and set your device down, it wont timeout. I could make it so when you start typing into the textbox it restarts the two minutes and you have two minutes to complete your message but I didn't know if that was a good idea or not.
Also, when you copy, and go to another program to paste it in, you have two minutes before the clipboard is cleared and the program shutdown.
When the encryption program is encrypting something, the timeout is not running. It starts afterwards.
I can tweak this as much as you guys would like, just let me know.
nomb
I've tested your Beta.. niiiiiccceeeeee.. it is gooood. Almost prefect. Few things (OH NO! )
- The "Clear" button doesn't seems to be working. It is suppose to clear the clipboard only? Should you clear off everything as well?
Other requests/suggestion
<rant>
- I'm not sure why I thought I need it.. but it would be good to have a copy function for the "End Text" as well. I thought I may need it one day. Not sure why. It ought to make the screen a bit crowded, I thought.
Anyway, slightly related to the suggestion above, I've just revisited the design I made on my copy-paste-failed PPC attempt, I have this idea which I thought you might want to use it. For my design, I do not have "Start Text" and "End Text", I only have ONE TextField "Message" (and another for the password). The user enter the encrypted/plain text on this "Message". Click on the button "Encrypt" or "Decrypt", the result will then overwrite whatever that is in "Message" TextField.
Example:
(1) "Message"=<plain text>. User key in password, click "Encrypt", "Message"=<encrypted text>.
(2) "Message"=<encrypted text>. User key in password, click "Dencrypt", "Message"=<plain text>.
In such cases, you only need a pair of copy-paste to perform copy-paste on both (in a way) encrypted and plain text.
</rant>
As for the time out issue, I thought the typing-sensitive time out would be a better choice. The moment that you are worried about your data being seen is when you are away from your phone. You can have focus on your TextField but you can be million miles away from your phone. But, you ought to be around to be typing stuff, right?
BTW, I'm also wondering on the working of this time out feature. I thought there ought to be a 'clock' running and when time's up, it will clear the stuff needed to be cleared, right? So, if I were to forget to switch off the application, the timer will not be another running software that drain my battery, right?
Good work.

The "clear" button is in the clipboard row, i think i tagged it on the left, and only clears the clipboard. If you go to menu->reset it will clear everything like your looking for.

The "Copy" button copies the end text to the clipboard. Not the start text.

I originally had it setup this way, however there was a time when I had wrote a huge paragraph in it and encrypted it, and then found out I had forgot a line. I switched it so this wont happen.

The timeout I have running in it now, (new version that isn't up yet), is completely off of the user's actions. Whenever you do anything in the program the timer resets. Except for encrypting/decrypting. The timer is off for those functions incase you encrypt a file that takes longer.

BTW, I'm also wondering on the working of this time out feature. I thought there ought to be a 'clock' running and when time's up, it will clear the stuff needed to be cleared, right? So, if I were to forget to switch off the application, the timer will not be another running software that drain my battery, right?

The timeout feature does not clear everything in the program. I have it so it actually completely closes the program. So if you forget to close it and walk away, the program will end so it doesn't drain your battery.

I got the progressbar working for encryption, now for decryption.

Pictures in album not sorted well (date or name)

hi,
i like to view photos on my album but there is no options to arrange them by name or date.
they dont seem to be sorted at all.
that is quite annoying because when you view e.g. holiday photos you certainly want to view them in the order you shoot them
Is there already a way to do this? The pictures is my album are shown in reverse order, very annoying during slideshows.
They are ordered by modification (not creation) date (from most recent to older). so to order in the way you want is easy (if you don't have a bunch of pics ):
rename them (it's enough to add a single char to filename, and if you want you can delete it immediately after having saved the new filename: in other words double edit) starting with the older one, and you'll have your album reordered
[sarcasm]wow what a simple and elegant solution[/sarcasm]
....pfft
if you have a better one you're welcome
I resorted to Resco Photo Viewer. Very cool, after I found a way to move through the photos.
I can put my photos in any order I like and the slideshow is much smoother than in the default Album app.
I've noticed the same problem and sent the following to HTC yesterday: (I've pissed away so much time this week trying to sort this device out for use)
... The Photos & Videos viewer (as accessed from the TouchFlo Home screen) has some bugs. The are two known issues:
1) The scrolling only supports 99 photos. If more are loaded on the storage card, in the same folder, they will not show
2) It is not possible to set the order. Even when going into the folder settings and choosing to sort by file name, the programme will not sort correctly
The second of these issues is quite annoying and ask that you please look into a hotfix and notify users via the website and/or email
For those out there using Linux (and probably other *nix flavors, and probably those using cygwin under windows). You can change the modification date as a batch in a whole directory, using a simple bash script like this:
Code:
for i in `ls -r *.jpg` ; do touch -m $i ; sleep 1 ; echo $i ; done
This way, the pictures slideshow alphabetically (at least they do in my Blackstone
Hope that helps.

Looks like this could be a bug.
You should be able to sync contacts by simply adding your Google account.
That wasn't working form me.

Yup. You can still get them on the phone, export from your computer, import through contacts app on the phone.
Yes, but of course sync wouldn't work. But of a pain in the @rse.
Anyway, for now restored my backup, that's a bit too late and need my phone working tomorrow.
Will try again tomorrow maybe

Yup, seems like it. When you create new contact it doesn't give you an option to store it in gmail...
I can live with that... just gonna test the rest for now.
Not sure if this can help to make contacts work, worth giving a try https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71222885&postcount=34
