Change "Incoming Call Screen" ?? - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

How can I change the "Incoming" call screen? Because the standard looks ugly... und it's hard to use with the fingers...

I'm totally agree with you, I use Pointui and all the interface is made for finger navigation, but when there's an incoming call it looks ugly like you said, it doesn't fit with Pointui. Surprising that nobody thought about It.

Use S2U2

doesn't work ... already posted in the thread...

I would also really like to be able to change the incoming call notification. A big nice answer / reject screen that covers the whole of the screen would have been really nice.
When you think about it - it's quite a basic skinning request.
Then again - [email protected]#$soft is real rubbish and they can miss the most obvious things in everything they do.

no one skins that because everone uses s2u2 !

Get a Diamond Comes with a nice big button call screen.

There are a lot of programs with big and nice call screens. U could try InesoftAddressBook. Its also a contact app.

that is a good concept, can any developer design that caller notification for qvga devices????

Is there a solution that doesn't require me to change anything else, only the incoming call screen?
S2U2 is nice, but I don't want the app to be my main page, I don't need the lock feature, want to keep my device as it is, only have a nicer and bigger incoming call screen.
InesoftAddressBook: same problem. I don't want to change my contacts manager...

You can disable the Lock part of S2U2, and leave it as just a CID program...

i made this one for the inesoft caller id.

If anyone can work out how to disable the default CID screen, I can make a replacement. (In fact, I have a replacement, it just gets interupted...)

That would be great if you can do that. I've been looking for years to find a small app just to do a full screen CID...

I was working on a CID too and I need to check if I was able to surpress it. I stopped working on this a long time ago.

it wud be great if some one can find the same...
i use iFonz application...it comes along with fulscreen CID with photo..(S2U2 only)

+1 With inesoft AdressBook, you'll change your incoming call interface.
Try it and you'll keep it.

Inesoft Address Book skins the dialer with an easy to use finger-friendly incoming call screen.

My current idea is a small piece of software that's memory resident, and pops up when it gets notified of an incoming call.
Using the .NET CF, that part's not hard, and the pick up/reject is easy to do via virtual keystrokes, but so far, I haven't found a way to stop WM showing it's own CID screen...
The main reason I have for this is for FSD (my dialer), but if it can be done, I'll release a stand alone CID program.

S2U2 will not be your main page. If you choose not to lock your device in S2U2 settings then only time you'll ever see it is when someone calls you.

Bad phone dial performances

Hi, this is my first post here, so greetings to all.
Two days ago I've received my p3600, and I'm in general happy with all its features, but phone dial.
First, I feel that dialling is very slow. Using normal sound configuration, I notice a remarcable delay between my finger pulsation and the numeric button response. Curiosly, this delay is shorter when I change the dial pad sound configuration to "no sound", but this isn't a true solution, because I prefer to feel clearly that some button is pressed.
Someone knows how to improve this ?
Second, the dial buttons size is too small, at least for me. I want use the phone without the stylus, but using the finger, I must dial very carefully, so the dialling experience is frustrating.
I've took a look at some dial themes, but I'm no sure about if using a theme with bigger buttons can solve this, because I think that the tap area for each button is established by the software itslef, and using oversized buttons has no consecuence.
Any ideas on this ?
Thanks in advance.
1. have you turned off the smart dial feature? That slows the phone down considerably. If you have done that already... I think that's about as fast as it gets. Yeah I wish they would make dialing faster.. Too bad they couldn't make quick like the wm5 smartphone devices.
Thanks for the tip about no sound speedup.. going to try that for awhile.
2. Eten Dialer Skin.. big buttons.. yes the tap area is bigger.

another thing to check
go the the phone screen,
select menu - options - and try to set the keypad to Off.
That's the 1st thing I do when I get a new phone
Just I've installed Eten dialer. Very good suggestion.
I've missed the video call, but really I prefer this stuff..
Thanks to all.

The same for my Wizard
Shows while reseting, on top of screen for pin activation, to quit, only with red key, after that if I make a call the usual bubble shows
need some graphics?
Same after install, trying to SoftReset
After SoftReset, your call screen does not show up anymore - thats good

No... Although I'm working on adding that into FSD...
alright great.
'cause personally i think fsd is easier to skin that other dialers.

[IDEA]WM6.5 Easy Hide Titanium

I'm not thinking something like my snapshots I photoshopped up would be possible, but it would be nice to have an easy-hide button for Titanium rather than going into the Today screen settings.
I guess the mockups are something I might have if I was a Microsoft 6.5 Engineer. Basically I just copied the Hide/Show Desktop Button from Windows 7, added some Arrows from the Lock Screen, and added the Lock Screen clock at the bottom.

The idea is really cool
I'd like that!!
If this were the default lockscreen it would be much more original that than the iPhone S2U that Microsoft is trying to copy.
Think, if your alerts could shoot out of the arrow part and you could slide them up or down to retrieve them. To unlock the phone, just drag the arrows to the right. All with smooth animations of course. The arrow part could simply change color to let you know you have new alerts. When you tap it, the number of alerts slides out along with the individual alert slider.

I never thought of making it a lock screen. I guess if someone were to create a whole new lock screen app like that, it would be possible to make one that was like my designs... But I am still interested in the idea of easily hiding Titanium.
Good idea.
It looks like S2U2.
i would love to get this on my phone if any one can develop it haha...great idea....... love it.... lets hope some one can make it...
support this great idea
Looks like something that might be available on "7". But would be awesome if we could get it here and now. +1 for notifications linked to the appropriate panel, ie. you get an email: the email hidden tab would blink/change color/show email icon and you could slide that tab out to check it.. brilliant concept.

I'll attempt to work on the notification concept a bit in some more photoshop mockups. But thank you everyone for your good feedback.
such a simple idea....absolutely brilliant. I would love to have this
the closest thing to this now would be s2u2 actually. just a matter of skinning it to look like titanium. and you can slide and titanium would show!!! i know not what you had in mind but hey it's the closest you can get =D
i like it...but maybe make it a lock buten?? sory for my englisch
cool idea!!
it would be much nicer with this in touch in my phone
Nice idea!
very nice!
GR8 IDEA
but... mayde, why not it 3D?
Cool idea
Yeah that is a very good idea !!!
great Idea if someone could find a way to add page to Clock PANEL then You could just creat an exe to lock phone right?

Easy contacts access from 6.5 homescreen

I'm running 6.5 on my HD, and its very nice and quick, but what i really miss is quick acces to my favourite contacts. Manila is now too bloated and I dont like it at all, esp with all that green stuff going on
I've tried Appstar's favourite people plugin, but having to swipe my finger across the screen to search thru my favourites is a bit of a pain, what would be nice if there was a function to tap a favourites button and a screen would pop-up tiled with favourite people just to press one and open up their contact info/dial/sms/etc..
Anyone know of something to do that, or talented enough to make something.
Many thanks
Mick

So you linked him the app he said he already tried but doesn't like?
Anyway,
Gasman I know of no contact app like that for the wm6.5 titanium plugin cause I would like something like that myself
how about phonex by iconsoft.. then u link the talk button to bring up your favorite contacts via the app itself:

i just use the smart dialing on the tachi dialer. Its quick and simple. Its not on the today screen but i can't think of anything else other than favourite people and as you say you dont like that.
At the moment I use the speed dial on the phone keypad, but thats just for calling. Just hoped there would be a something integrated into titanium, that brought up a page of tile pictures for your favourite contacts. click one then have the option of calling or texting them..
Any smart folks want to make such an addon?
Other than that, very happy with how titanium runs as standard
You could make one of your softkeys or CLauncher slots be iContact...
An idea would be to make a contact page like the beehive start menu that is in Titanium.
Maybe a shortcut from the Today screen will open the same hive layout with contact photos and name....?
Yeah I like the idea of having contacts/faves on a honeycomb page.
if you have a third party contacts program installed you can probably just make the soft key link directly to that by editing the registry. If you'd rather interact with the panels, you can edit the registry and change the program that launches when you click say the fave contacts panel.. I imagine the soft key way would be best.. that is one of the main reasons i dislike titanium, lots of eye candy but limited functionality.. if you could stick a grid in a panel to recognize multiple items, each launching their own link/contact it would be a great step forward.. perhaps that is not far off.
Just thought I'd update with a soulution I'm very happy with.
I installed 'icontacts' which is superb contacts program that does what I need.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829
And use AEB Plus, to easily remap the left softkey to open icontacts.

This seems to work very well with wm6.5

[Q][A few questions regarding wm 6.5.3]

Ok so my first question is... How do you disable the call bubble pop up? I would like to use the default lockscreen's slide to answer... The call screen is pretty ugly in my opinion...
My second question is... How do I fix this? I'm using a treo pro wm 6.5.3 with realvga...

As you can see the words under the world is supposed to be at the bottom of the picture but in this case, something is wrong with the lockscreen. The last 1cm is a glitch? ( I suppose you can say that...)
Thks in advance...
Don't worry about the gray thing in the taskbar. I'll fix it later so it's not a problem.

I use S2U2 to handle both my lockscreen and dialer (which offers slide 2 answer or reject calls)...Get it here...Haven't heard much success wit Real VGA so tell me, which ROM are u using n its performance.
I don't really use S2U2 now because I couldn't change where the slider starts and ends and that really bothered me... So I decided to revert back to the default lockscreen. I'm using trickbiker 121's Windows Mobile 6.5 build 28230. I'm not sure about what performance are you talking about...

Actually in the appearance settings of S2U2, you can can also switch the slider to the middle where sliding to the left toggles between Vibration/Ringer mode and sliding to the right just unlocks the phone....I love such a function as it gives me an easier way to switch back n forth between vibrate n ringer without even unlocking my phone or launching a program.
Hmmm, I was talking about for example, instead of having the slider slide 204px to unlock the phone, you can change it to slide 302px to unlock the phone.
fyi, to get the lockscreen to take your calls, get a program called smart lock
