[NO MORE IN DEV 07/31/200] ContactManager 0.11 - Another try for "finger friendly"...
ContactManager is no more developped, please use the new native version. You can get more information here
ContactManager 0.11
What it does:
- "classic" finger scrolling
- tapping the contact make appear a screen with contact info (photo, name, phone, sms and mail). Selecting one option launch the default compose dialog or make the call. You can also change the contact picture from the detail directly.
- display contact photo if present (in the list and the contact detail).
What's different:
- if you press you finger on the left or right border of the screen it will allow you to select the letter you're searching for, release the finger, it will show you the contact starting with this letter. For me that's the way to go in touch interface: release should trigger the event, push should only provide visual feedback, I'd like a visual kb like this.
- the contact detail is not the standard one, you can show only the information you want (and it's animated .
- the list is animated (scrolling) and the transition between list and detail also.
Settings file:
There is an .ini file that you can create in the directory where the program reside. It contains color, font and image settings. See the setting.ini provided in the zip file.
To install, copy the unzipped file to your ppc and run it. Should be enough. Tested on WM6 only, apparently it also run on WM5. Sorry for 2003 owner, as I don't have such device, I'm unable to test.
Please inform me, before publishing this app on any other website... (a mail to qpouplard // gmail.com will be enough). I'm not against it at all, but I'd like to know it.
What's new? (0.11)
- Localization support
- Bug fixes
- Updated default theme
- Setting to adjust image position
- Multiline information are supported
- Memory optimization
How to use localization??
Copy "lang.fr.ini", adapt the file to your need, change "fr" to your PDA country ISO name. (fr for France, sp for Spain, de for Germany, etc...).
I'll provide localization soon.
What's new? (0.10)
- Gesture: you can slide you finger from right to left or right to left, it will go act like the lower left softkey.
- Bug fixes: app crashing while deleting contact
- New virtual contact: at the end of the list you have a new contact, tap on it to create a new
- New default theme inspired from the Touch
- New settings to adjust contact detail information
To download version 0.11 please go to the brand new ContactManager website: http://www.pocketcm.com.
Please always link to my website, do not provide binary yourself. I'm clearly trying to bring some traffic to my website... so I can continue to develop for free.
You like this application? I've put some time developping this application, it also take me lot of time to take all your valuable comments into account. I'm doing mostly for technical challenge and fun, but ... any donation is appreciated (even the small one) (and will motivate me to continue the development as a freeware), please use this link
Feature to come:
- Native version (who read this? )
- Sync with MyOE contact (http://myoedev.blogspot.com)
- (maybe) compose sms from the application, mainly to allow me to test with SIP method using C# and not C++.
- Setup/packaging integration on the Touch (cube, dialer, etc...).
Download ContactManager 0.11
Thanks- this is a very nice version- I like it.
One suggestion- can the A-Z letter can be another colour- ie colour RED ( or user defined) ... Well done !!!
very nice job and I had the same idea for show contacts for my new iMedia continue to work with it, it's going very nice...
btw some things to adjust :
- scroll isn't very good yet
- left index is too much on the left (
- characters are very ugly on my device
pl55, I'll think about adding some options On the other side, if one of you feel like an artist, feel free to propose something!
Guybrush, can you elaborate what's wrong about scrolling (I mean I agree with you, but on the other side, I have a smartphone for 5 days now... I don't have lot of experience about what's "good" or "bad").
You want left index to be longer? for now it's 26 pixels, maybe 30 will do the job?
Related to the ugliness or character, can you post a screenshot? I only have an HTC touch to test (and the emulator).
that's a screen as appear on my device... about left index look screenshot of my SSContact, i think it's good like that... Scrolling is slow... and not fluid... don't give me good feelings.
I've have a little problem, I can call using the Call button, but the send Sms button doing nothing ....
hi,tene
Very nice work,it looks good by adding contact photo and the idea of side contact to call or to send SMS.
The alpha.index is working but as the application is to be used by finger so it is very difficult to use this index by finger.
Second thing is the scrolling is heavy not fluid,the best i think to scroll is icontact of Larna ,it scrolls very nice.
So keep it up and we all wait for another release with fixed bugs.
thanks
pl55, do you have configured anything specific for SMS? WM5 or 6? I'm using "standard" CF function to start the compose SMS stuff.
myRIGHT: regarding performance, what PPC are you using? How many contact do you have? (I have like 100 on mine). How is the sliding to contact detail going? (it's important, if sliding is bad, I'll have to think about a totally different method).
For the alpha index, my idea was exactly to make it usable by finger: its very hard to point to the right letter, but it's rather easy to move your finger to the right position, so the idea is: tap anywhere on left (or right) part of the screen, and move your finger until you're on the right letter, then remove the finger, that's it. That's also why you get a visual feedback (ugly for now, will look better soon).
Wow this looks promising! Good work! Here are my thoughts:
Like MyRIGHT said, I feel the scrolling in larna's icontact is perfect, so if you could get that kind of feel it would be great!
For now though the biggest thing bugging me is the way it sorts the names, File As always seems the prefered way (again like in larna's icontact). If you could fix this I would definitaly use this instead of icontacts!
Good job on the abc index too, maybe you can make the "area" on the right hand side of the screen a little wider (thumb width )
Maybe you could also make the letter that shows up in the middle of the screen more obvious (coloured background or so).
I like how you can you use the virtual keyboard to jump to the first letter!
I LOVE the way the screen slides to the left when you click on a name. It's a lot faster than waiting for the "default" screen to show up too! Maybe the screen that comes in can look a little better like you said though.
The bottom buttons (search and new) don't seem to do anything, but maybe you havent gotten around to that yet. Maybe you could have the app fullscreen and have 4 buttons at the bottom which launch speed dial, call history, the keypad and new contact or so ?
It's also interesting how the d-pad always scrolls all the way to the top of the list no matter what button you press
Hope this might help you and I hope I don't come across as someone who can only complain, this is a really nice app!

My apologies, the SMS send button work fine, it's just take a while to load up. . With my Hermes and WM6 - I like the speed of scrolling it's just feel right - ( just like larna's icontact) .
I've to agreed with others, the A_Z index is so tiny, may be if it can be triggered wih another screen A_Z ( more like the contact detail but appear from the left side this will make finger buttom easier).
It's very very nice, but it can't be displayedcorrect om a htc universal (vga screen). If you could make a vga layout it would be perfect...
I think if the scrolling spped and a few graphics were added it would be great! i am a graphics artest, tell me the size and format of the images for things like the letters on the side and i can cook somthing up for u
Hi atomicshockwave,
For now I don't use image, only drawing text, however I'd like to have:
- A correct layout for contact detail (I can extract something from a mockup, for instance, you draw a beautiful sample for a given contact, and I'll try to integrate it).
- An image for the preview letter from the A_Z, something like a bubble pointing to the letter.
Regarding the size, the A_Z is 10*320, each contact is 220 * 32. For the contact detail, it just has to fill the screen.
Apparently it maybe great to think about VGA devices, I don't have one, but I suppose I can use the emulator (however, I fear performance would suffer).
Working on a new version... will update soon.
Hi Tene,
Great and useful App ! it run smoothly and scrolling speed is acceptable on my Hermes with WM6. Only 3 things i noticed that need enhancement:
1) contactmanager can't be minimized with the 'ok' button on Hermes, closing it tapping the 'X' works.
2) If the contact saved phone number in 'work tel', it wouldn't be displayed with your contactmanager (list and detail)
3) the 'new' and 'search' softkey is not responding ?
btw, scrolling at the border for first letter is really useful UI
> 1) contactmanager can't be minimized with the 'ok' button on Hermes, closing it tapping the 'X' works.
Is it something special to your device? (my problem, as a newbe with smartphone, I've no idea what you're talking about)
Regarding work tel, I added work tel to the list of phone number he tries to find, but I really should handle various phone number.
For the new and search, I just put them "for testing", they do nothing... but my question is: what button would be actually usefull?

It has a 'OK' button (most PPC phone has this button) to minimise the app (running in memory but hidden from the screen) instead of closing, it would be good if contactmanager can be minimised.
maybe a Exit softkey button would be useful instead of 'search'
Now see I like the scrolling MUCH better in this than iContact. It might be able to slow down a bit slower but the speed that it maxes out at is good. In iContact, sometimes when I scroll it goes too fast or straight to the bottom of the contact list. That is pretty fast given that I have 100 contacts.
My only issue is that there is only one number shown (which you pointed out), and that the search and new buttons are not functional. This is a big pain with the iContact app... no ability to add a new one. I am on the CUSTEL Ultimate WM6 ROM. This is a great foundation for a contacts app!

Try that: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...2F-07B5-4A8C-8A44-B4E1B196D5C0&displaylang=en
But I've no idea if my app works on a Treo.
There is also some funkiness going on with the scroll wheel on the 8525. If you move it the contact goes straight to A and then the screen is unresponsive for a bit to finger scrolling.
Something i REALLY hate with Windows Mobile, is the complete waste of the display. Everything is written with tiny ugly font, instead of a big clear font (i know you can change font size, but that only applies to some few things).
On incoming calls, theres LOTS of space to display caller id/name, but no, it only displays it with a tiny font leaving 90% of the dialog with white pixels, so it's impossible to see it if you have your phone mounted in your car.
Does anyone know if it's possible to change fonts size of the incoming call dialog, or some third party application that replace the entire screen?
I tried a search, but i don't really know what I should search for?

If you want something for PICTURES of contacts of incoming calls, you could try ProPhotoContacts, I use that a little and it just displays a large pic of the caller and some info ( you can choose between business style, personal, or just name and number to be displayed.)
If you just want larger text, idk what you could use for that, but there are many good 3rd party contacts apps that do what you are looking for.

I don't want pictures - i just want the number/name to be readable from 1 meter distance - so i guess i need some 3rd party application to replace the default dumb dialog.
But i haven't found any, and i'm really not sure what keywords i should use? Have anyone found an appliaction like that?

That's a darn good ?. Even the pictures assigned to my contacts are too small to see who it is calling. Luckily I have different ring tones to each of my contacts, I know who's calling by the ring tone.
I remember there was an app for Symbian that allowed for full screen caller ID pictures. Don't remember which one it was... my last Symbian phone was the Pana X700 and I stopped using that back in summer of '05 when I discovered the Blue Angel.
But there's got to be something for WM as well. Have you checked all the freeware sites?
there's been a thread within the wizard forums about this app that changes the caller id bubble and is very customizable. Im gonna go look for it, and if I find it Ill report back

http://www.jgui.net/phoneprofiles/index.html
check that out, scroll about 1 or 2 pages down it shows a screenshot of a diff bubble. that is your software sir!
Anybody Know?
I was wondering if anyone knew how to magnify just the picture of who is calling. That link above is great but it has all these additional features that i'm not interested in...i think my phone might explode if i put more softwares like that on it. I just want to be able to make the picture of incoming calls large. I have photo contacts pro and I don't like it. When an unknown caller is calling then it's completely useless...more importantly it doesn't recongnize callers from your sim card...that is why i stopped using it....if anyone knows that would really make my day
You could always make a jpeg with big bold letters of the contacts name and save it to their photo contact...
Hi All,
Here is the latest iContact ender's edition. As much as I would like to keep my own branch of the source code I would hate to rewrite the same functionality written by burt or subpro. That is why right now I am just implementing my changes to the latest version of iContact with most functionality.
Known issues
- Included VGA skin is just the resize of QVGA. It has some problems with small dial icons. I am hoping someone can post a VGA skin so I can include in the next version.
- Scroll sometimes slow down while hiding the bottom menubar.
- You might need to tap twice to open a contact.
Requests
- Can someone post screenshots plz.
- Current mobile, home, office icons are from original WM. They look ok but I'm sure one of you gfx talents can come up with smtg much better.
Version History
1.03
Feature : It is now based on Burt 6 codebase (Thanks to Burt). This brings all his features. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724 for his updates. Also please thank him for what he has done.
Feature : Displayed default number is now smarter. iContact will scan your outgoing call log the first chance it gets and use the most used number as default displayed number.
Feature : There is now a menu button animation while switching tabs. (See the configuration application for disabling/adjusting this)
Feature : Bottom menu now automatically hides while scrolling. (See the configuration application for disabling/adjusting this)
Feature : Call button (green soft button) will now call the selected contact
Modified : It comes with a default (and only) diamond skin which is based on Lycox's work. (Sorry Punker I was going to use your skin but since I switchted to burt's code skin format has changed as well )
Modified : Call times show next to the icon instead of on top of the icon
Fix : When you go back from the details page, that contact will be highlighted
Fix : Fixed a bug where having only one call log item would crash
1.02
Feature : It is now based on the 0.76 codebase of subpro. This brings many features like VGA support and all that. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829 for his updates. Also please thank/donate him if you like his work.
Feature : Number of repeated calls (incoming/outgoing/missed) is now shown as part of the icon as a small number in a circle (Sorry I broke the skins again fellas)
Feature : A default phone number will now show under the name (You can disable this using the setting DisableDialingNumber in settings.ini) (You can set the font of this number using "DialingNoListFont" and color using "ListItemNumberText" setting in the skn file.)
Feature : An icon showing the type of number will show next to the default number (You can disable this using the setting DisableDialingNumberIcon)(These icons are again part of the skin)
Feature : When you long press a contact for a period of time (setting LongTapDelay) , it will automatically dial the default number for that contact. (Disable using DisableLongTapAction)
Feature : There is a visual indicator for long pressing to show when the dial will occur and which contact will be dialed.
Feature : There is now a minimize button on the top right. Again this is in the skin file. If you don't like it just remove it from the skin.
Feature : There is now a new setting in the skin file "HeaderTextDetail" for those who want to have a different colored header on the details screen.
Fix : Fixed a bug where contact pictures didn't show even when stopped
Fix : Fixed an issue with drawing pictures that slowed down the drawing. However there is still some screen tearing going on due to new icons and stuff.
Fix : It now works with WM5
Note : There are 2 different cabs for wm5 an wm6. wm5 version also works on wm6 but i think it performs slower.
1.01
Feature : Contact Pictures will now display below a certain scroll velocity. So now you can have best of both worlds: Fast scroll speed and contact pictures. Velocity treshold can be set in the ini file with "PictureVelocityTreshold"
Feature : Width of the hidden scroll bar that is used to navigate between letters are now configurable in the SKIN file. Keyword "InvisibleScrollbarWidth"
Modified : I changed the versioning scheme so there is no confusion between diffferent iContact flavors
Modified : Back button and '+' button click areas are now bigger.
Fix : Fixed a memory leak which eventually crashed the application
Fix : Fixed an issue where black colors on contact pictures would show as background color
Fix : Fixed a bug where scrolling would sometimes jump to the end of contact list
0.76f
Feature: There are now 2 configuration settings (DisableContactPictures and DisableHistoryIcons). Add a line saying "DisableContactPictures=1" (without quotes) to the end of the settings.ini if you dont want to see pictures.
Modified: Hidden scroll bar for scrolling between letters is now wider
Fix : Fixed the problem with the skin so + sign should now be visible
0.76e
Feature : Contact Pictures on Contacts and Favorites List
Feature : Call History now shows icons next to items to indicate if it is a missed, incoming or outgoing call
Feature : Contacts and Favorites will now only load when the application starts and whenever there is a change in contact list (internal or external) (Instead of loading everytime you switch a tab)
Feature : Call log will now only load when the application starts and whenever there is a change in the call log
Feature : While loading contacts or call log it will now show an hourglass to show that it is doing something.
Feature : iContact now comes with a default diamond skin (Thx to lyrox)
Modified : Enlarged the area that can be clicked on top right. Closing / Minimizing the application should now be much easier.
Modified : Taping once during scrolling will now just stop the scrolling, you need to tap again to access contacts.
Modified : Since there are now icons, I removed missed called highlight
Modified : '+' sign that is used to add new contacts is now on the left to prevent accidental clicking to close
Fix : Fixed a bug where clicking Recents would sometimes crash the application

Sounds GREAT!! Any screen-shots??
tnx man very nice app!!
you modifite like i want to!!!
sorry for my bad english!!
works on vga but all seems so little!
is there any vga skin?
Thanks,
working nice, but I don't see any plus icon on the upper left side?
Works great!!
I dont see how to add new contact though.......also, is it possible to have the 4th icon dial voicemail instead of going to your phone??
great work on icontact, i may try the new version as im more concerned about performance but hopefully its worth the upgrade
edit: where is the performance version?
I would like a light colored skin. Top bar same as S2*** stuff but with a white back ground maybe a little iphonish but not to much. Does anybody know where I can find one?
Thanks.
the changes are wonderful....the stopping by clicking and the log icons..... but there are 2 problems in my eyes:
1. I think the photos in the list are pointless - they are not REALLY needed. the whole point of icontact was to keep it fast and to take less memory. it changes the loading time and makes the program heavier.
2. The scrolling is much much slower and unstable than in 0.75
thanks for the hard work.
awesome job! thanks
This is so freakin phenomenal!!
Maybe 3 suggestions, but only from the stand point of desire not lack of talent!!! Could you add it sort by Category? And could you place a button on the Recent page that launches the sms application of choice like the phone button launches cprog.exe???? Finally, I would like to know how to change the width of the hidden alphabet selector on the right side. I need a little more pixel width for my thumbs.
Thanks again
sounds great, trying it now
many thanks!!!

Hey nir, I agree the scrolling has slowed up over .75.. However personally I like the photos. Even with them it is way less memory the PocketCM and provides a little eye candy!!

For some reason the + sign doesnt show up. I will fix this in the next version (which will be very soon). In the meantime just imagine the + sign is there on the top left of contact list screen title bar and press. It is working just the graphics is not there.
As for the 4th icon i will consider something more useful or configurable for a future version.

To be honest with you scrolling havent changed on my Polaris even single bit but I am considering making photos configurable.

Sorting by category is not very easy. iContact has no category support yet when/if this is added I will consider.
I am not sure where on recent pages i can put sms application link.
When you say alphabet selector do you mean the button that opens up the alphabet or the buttons on the alphabet screen. Alphabet screen is already full I dont think you can put any more than that. As for the launching button, it is configurable.

icontact does have category support. I have a version that does it. I like yours better however. On the recent calls page there is an open spot to the far right on the tab bar. The alphabet search page itself is fine, I was speaking of the hidded bar on the right side that you can press and hold to bring up the letters and then scroll to jump to the one you want.
just wanted to say great app! thanks, and waiting for ur next innovation

I see what you mean. I havent decided what to do with that space. There are several things that might go there such as settings button or categories list. I think that space is too valuable to put an sms button I almost never just open an sms link. Instead I find the contact I want to send SMS and then click the sms button on the details page.

It is not configurable, it is hardcoded in the code as 20pixels. I will increase it to 30 in the next version
Is there a large dialpad similar to idialer but with smart dial (so spelling out a contacts name will bring up their number) ? or even a way to enable smart dial?
iDialer here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2694308
or something similar to the minimal dialer here:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/Skins/Minimal-Dialer-64089.shtml
but doesnt use the diamond phone canvas as a base (because of the issues with wm6.5 & the just stupid amount of ram the diamond phone canvas uses)
currently i'm using the gorgeous Ryon dialer skin here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508920
but the buttons are to small
Anyone know what dialer this is and where to get it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1336681&postcount=41
Seems to be what i'm looking for
looks like an old version of inesoft try here
http://www.inesoft.com/eng/index.php?in=phone.html
You can try Yota Dialer (search here), except it's a little buggy for me.
thanks for replies guys but Innosoft doesn't seem to have smart dial otherwise was good and ya yota is just a bit too buggy (not to mention it takes up as much space as the regular htc dialer)

Put a request for a developer here instead. I'll put my hand in for the graphics.
iconsoft phonex has smart dialing and a large keypad, I think the latest version uses a lot less ram too a simple dialpad similar to that would be great to replace the small wm dialer
Maybe o3touch brings what you want? See http://www.o3touch.com/
phonex is not bad but when receiving it interferes with the windows 6.5 lock screen, otherwise it was actually pretty good, had smart dial n everything
o3touch seems to be a keyboard not a dialer so cant really comment on that
i came across a really good 1 but its incomplete, its here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437296
its a VGA touchflo 2d dialer, the dial screen is perfect with smart dial and good buttons, as well the incall screen works great.
forgot to test out how it works with an incoming call and the wm6.5 lock screen (though it probably wont work that well)
but the big killer for this is that its not finished and in wm 6.5 when using smart dial the contacts all wash into eachother and become unreadable (the names will just constantly overlap eachother so its unreadable)
anyone know of a dialer similar to this but JUST the dialer, the incall screen is nice but not a big deal but any kind of custom incoming call screen will just screw with the wm6.5 lock screen
i've seen a boat loads of dialers for qvga (minimal dialer being really good) so their has to be something similar for VGA, or if their are any developers who could make 1 for 6.5
its the same dialer as 6.1 but because the lock screen already has slide to answer built in and an incall screen built in we only need to skin the actually dialer itself
and of course if anyone has a dialer they really like please share
Have been modifying TP2 with many registry changes etc. Running WM6.1
However, seem to have "lost" part of the standard dialer and have trolled through the forums trying to find what files and .dll are being used by the DEFAULT dialler.
The HTC dialler works fine but I do not like it, so when swapping back to the default dialer, the buttons and keys are there, but where the list of previous numbers should be is just a grey area with no entries. Selecting any area WILL bring up the call record as normal.
I must have deleted\edited\corrupted something..........but even looking through back-ups, can not find a clue!
Otherwise, any clues on JUST a plug in dialer (everything I find seems to be a full package with today and other stuff) - I like the dialler on the TYTN2 - both for size and colour and am trying to replicate this if possible.
Colours and size are good for tapping when driving as here in UK must NOT hold a phone as illegal!
ANy clues on files/which registry keys hold the colours for the HTC keypad etc. would be useful as doesn't seem to be HKLM\security\phone\skin
As loads of views and no answers, transferring to general questions
