SSContact (ScrollingStone project name) is a application similar iContact developed by larna.
Why a similar iContact app ? The reasons are three :
- because I wanna do it by myself...
- because I want add all features that i like...
- because I'm enjoying to code and i'm having fun to see this app growing.

Only WM5 version has been tested by me, I don't have a WM2003 or WM6 device to test them but they should work. Zip files have inside a cab, it will set SSContact as default contact app in right softkey. If you don't want it install RemoveSoftKey.cab and softreset the device or just extract file exe or see faqs how to change registry to remove it
GB,
I am a newbie in the ppc app development arena and I am curious to know what developer tools/apps did you use to create your app?
FYI.. I will try you app out as well..thx
I've used C and Windows CE API.
Good luck Guybrush
larna
Hey larna, thanks friend
SSContact first blush....
GB,
ok I gave it a spin. My Device is a Cingular 8525 (US) running WM6 (Black 3.01).
The first thoughts:
1. Formating of Contacts. the app shows lastname firstname instead of lastname, first name.
2. I am not seeing all my contacts or its not listing all the contacts in alphabetical order.
3. When I select a contact with my finger or the stylus, nothing happens.
4. It seems that the app is pulling Company info in some instances and contact name in others..very weird.
Suggestions:
It would be cool if you could add/import pictures from the contacts
Filtering by catergory
I think you have a good basis here just continue to work at it..good luck
- application is compiled for WM5 not tested on WM6 so i can't be sure all works properly there.
- Order is guaranteed by List Control and API of Windows CE so it's not my procedure but I'll check... be sure u don't have some space before names.
- Contacts, SMS and Phone are not enabled (it's only a test application not a complete application) so they can only be scrolled but u can't select them
- Yes it display company names when company name is present.
About suggestions :
- Pictures are too much heavy and it should make very slow scroll procedure and I Think they should be too much small to be really usefull.
- I'm not planning to add a filtering by categories at the moment, next step is add a Sort by Firstname and Sort by Lastname
Anyway thanks
thnx for this cool small application
imate jasjam win2005
my notes:
1- i tried icontact before ,not working with me
2-SSCONTACT, when i tape the contact nothing happen
3- i see that the interface is good by showing the 2 icons of dialing&message beside the name but again nothing happen upon tapping any icon
4- it scrolls only with the nevagtion key of the ppc not by finger!!!
5-the keyboard is stuck and not closed upon tapping except closing X buuton of the program
your suggestions?????????
I don't know... it's strange in your device not works iContact and also my app maybe u have some program have make some conflict with them... you should scroll with fingers... keyboard shouldn't stuck ...u can close it tap on OK button... icons and contact aren't enabled it's only a test application, it's the first time I have this report.

Click to collapse
I think the most natural way to sort is outlook's "file as" since we already declare what we want to see as "file as"
I've already added sorting by first or last name at the moment tomorrow I'll post the new version, meanwhile if u found bugs on this report me
wow
ahhh... love those apps... both yours and larnas
seriously - great job.
got me all thinking about developing for ppc myself - any chance that you post sources? how difficult ... how time consuming is it?
at the moment no. Some parts are more difficult than other but I'm new in ppc programming and first I've to learn to apply so it taking me much time.
It's great you opened up your own thread. I love to beta test new and developing apps. Even though my device is slower, I will still give comments on your app.
The app so far is running pretty smoothly. A bug I found is with the keyboard quick search feature. There is a person on my contact list named, let's say "Zack"...when I type Z it does not go to the name. This happens for a few other letters with the keyboard as well.
Will you implement phone numbers showing up for names under just Company?
Also, what are the letters on the left side of the screen suppose to do??
during Quick Search with Keyboard you don't see people in the bottom of list just because Keyboard cover them... but search work if u tap Ok you should see them selected , I have to think a solution for that. Company phone is already show but u have to set Business Phone for Company contacts.. Letters on left side can be touched with stylo... letter set focus in first item that start with that letter.

I see what your saying. But still, when im at the top of the list than type Z on the keyboard, the list still doesn't scroll down to focus on that contact.
The phone number for the company in my contacts is put in the "Company tel." spot. This app can't read the company tel?
The letters on the side of the screen are too small to have real functionality. They are too hard to tap.
Will this work on WM2003?
I have TyTN with WM6 so it's not working properly I hope you'll make it work on WM6 soon. I would like to see some feature I'm missing in both iContacts and your app could you make it neverending scrolling? I mean that when you go to the end of contacts (Z) and scroll down more it will take you to the beginning (A) and the same form beginning (A) to the end (Z)? I hope you'll understand what I mean
sorry guys I don't have a device with WM2003 and WM6 so i cannot test it on them, I can compile and run on emulator but it's not the same thing... btw I'll try only when WM5 version is complete.
@freeyayo50, search doesn't work inside items but always from first char... the control in Windows Mobile can't search into substring... that's sad but i can't do nothing, so if your friend is called Zack and you don't remenber is Lastname i suggest to change order from Last First to First Last and perform search with new order, i've attached a new version.
[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!
how do I update my .net compact framework? Says mine sucks.. errr out of date? Im running a treo 750

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.

EDIT: release 0.5.1 solves some bugs reported in this forum and add's some functionality to the config app. Also included an about box due to some sites and forums (outside xda-developers) distributing the app without giving any credit. This app is for personal use only, if you want to distribute it on a ROM or in any other site ask for my permission through private message first please.
A little tutorial for personalization is posted here
New Features
==========
- DPAD, L-R buttons navigation. Probably a little buggy, prease report how it works on your device..
- Now config application is embedded and can preview setups... (use the wheels icon to access)
- Some Config Applcation bugs solved... EDIT: 0.5.1 Now supports clock, text and footer edition...
- Added new action for text #$update# so you can place constant text over o under other updating elements.
- Added selected icon over image (in skins uses the "selectionimage" param). By default shows a square arrond elements.
- A bunch op optimizations, clean up and "killed" bugs...
- Other more I don't remember.... :-D
Remember that skins.zip have 2 more example skins... just decompress the zip on your applications skins directory to use them.... Now you can preview them by using the configurator.
Any feedback will be wellcome...
----------------------------------------------
Update of the app.
New Features
==========
- Added analog clock (by using clock tag to rows. Example included in config.xml. Will post a little tutorial latter)
- Added text posibility (By using text tag in rows. Can paint date using C# patterns (Can be used to paint digital clock...) and registry values wich can be really powerfull by using sys2reg or similar script's or apps. Currently showing missed calls, sms and mail. Examples included in config.xml but will post a little tutorial latter).
- Black theme as default.
- Now fonttype is configurable by using "fonttype,fontsize,bold" on attributes.
- Loading text on loading rows.
- Many internal optimizations.
By the way remember that minimizing the app is as simple as moving the finger from top to bottom (no matter how fast you do it).
Hope you like it. Please post feedback.
---------------------
Another update of the app. This has little changes:
- Added Icon for the app
- Added shortcut to the Programs menu (Thanks to ather90)
- Stability improved.
- Solved some graphical bugs.
Hope you like it!!
------------------------

- Solver some bugs:
- Memory leak in loading contact images.... I think it may have been solved, but not sure.
- Number format exception with decimal comma.
- Now searching programs folder through registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Explorer\CrossPlatformNavigationURL. Should work on any languaje... I hope...
- By pressing any buttom the application (if it's activated and not crashed of course X-D) will generate a screenshot to the root. If you detect some graphical bug and you want to share it please send me that screenshot. This option can be removed by changing config.xml

Please, any feedback, bugreport, improving request will be wellcome.
I'm working on a today plugin with horizontal kinetic scrolling too but can't promiss anything as cause I have to rewrite almost all the code in... c++
Surur, thank for all the advices

Hello everyone!!
Here I have another version of this app. I don't know hot to UPDATE a previous thread... so I'm openning another one.... This is the original thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354424
New Fetures are:
- Kinetic scrolling.
- Recent apps list (with tag <lastapps/> in config.xml)
- Running apps (<runningapps> in config.xml, can have inner <exclude name="\Windows\shell32.exe"/> to avoid some programs of appearing on the list)
- Separator with optional tittle (with tag <separator name="Running"/>)
I hope you like it!!
By downloading or using this application you agree the following:
- Use this application at your own risk.
- This thread is the only place allowed to link to the file download.. If you like the app and you want more people to have it please place a link to this thread.
- This application is for personal use only.
By the way, I promiss I will try to develop a today plugin with horizontall scrolling too ;-).
Nice, but scrolling is not very kinetic at all on my Kaiser. I also have a bug where clicking on settings always takes me to the HTC Task manager settings. I like the vertical labels - nicely implemented.
I think minimizing the app needs to be a bit easier than finding the minimize icon.
Great work and improvement in a very short time.
Thx
Surur
I've made some modifications for u Surur ;-). You can now configure kinetic scrolling parameters or make the title bar appear with the smart minimize button...
There is no config dialog already so the configuration button is linked to the task manager on purpose.... Sorry ...
Remember that you can always minimize the app by pressing the end call button.... at least on my herald it works..
Thanks a lot for the feedback.
Trying your app on my Trinity... get the following error:

Sorry....
Sorry about the error.... it seems that is because the locale settings (mine are set to spanish....) .... try changing in the config.xml the values with decimal coma replacing the comma with a point....
If someone could try if that solves the problem I would be very gratefull ;-). Fore everyone else here you have an updated version without the "conflictive" configuration params (also updated in original thread).
Thanks everyone for trying and sorry for the inconvenience.

Awesome app.
It's a little crowded, though... How about a today plugin with only ONE of the bars?
Or just one that doesn't have so many things on it. Awesome app. VERY fluent. It's just a little crowded for every day usage.
mar_cin, thank you for the report... I seems that the leak is on the contact pictures loadding... can you answer me two questions please?
- How much contacts with photo do you have on your contact list?
- Do you use larger photos for contacts than the "standar" sized ones (I mean the ones that the camera do in contact photo mode ;-))
Thanks in advance for the info.
Jaxf250... thanks for the testing ;-) and sorry for the inconvenience..... It's ovbious that I have to add some more exception catching code X-D.
Thanks everyone for trying!

Hi all,
I've something to play with for you . New yrgo 2.3 beta 2.
This version is dedicated for 320x240 devices only! The 640x480 version will be released later.
Installation notes
Since this version implements new graphical layout system, you have to uninstall the version before and delete "\Program Files\yrgo\Skins" folder. This is valid even if you are running 2.3 beta 1.
What's new
File explorer supports Create folder, Delete file/folder, Copy, Cut, Paste (using context menu).
In-build SMS Writer - works in Contact detail's page or when you press Reply in SMS details.
Complete new graphical layout system - Color Themes, Images (icons, buttons) and Wallpapers are now separated. There's no way how to change icons at this moment.
Wallpapers can be changed using File explorer and its Context menu (need to be applied on jpg images).
Repaired bugs you have noticed me on.
Please, let know what do you think about this version and report me bugs you've found.
Download link: http://www.2daysoft.com/yrgo/beta/2.3beta2/yrgo.cab Please DO NOT REDISTRIBUTE it anywhere (you can of course distribute link to this page). Thank you.
Features of yrgo 2.3 beta 1:
This list controls were completely redeveloped so they support variable height items.
Complete new graphical design (with PNG alpha support - give me feedback whether is it too slow or not).
On the fly help almost everywhere.
Today plugin gadget bug fix - yrgo should exit properly now
Desktop gestures - left, right switches the desktops
Analog clock in Clock gadget
New Calendar gadget (it shows wrong month yet)
New Connection manager Gadget
Gadgets can be re-sized - (doesn't work on all gadgets yet)
Gadgets border shown in design mode
File details when you click the (+) sign
Specific Control panels allow direct access to the specific tab (click on (+) sign)
In Contacts you can directly access all contact's phones using (+) sign
Completely new Contact details page (some functionality is missing - will be added later)
Completely new Task details page
Plenty of new settings
Dialog boxes that prevents mis-taps (can be set-up in Settings)
New Calendar page in Office menu (without Appointments support - yet )
New Help menu and all its items
Contact's hide/show keyboard bug fix
I'm sure I forget lot of new features or bug fixes .
Known bugs:
The main menu takes a looooong time to appear at the first time (I know what causes this - just didn't have time to fix).
Help wizard should not be added to the Favorites or Desktop.
Some of them I've already written above ;-).
Because new icons in yrgo are bigger, you current desktop setting may not fit.
Enjoy .
Regards,
Luky
Look sweet, will try now!!
awsome
gonna try it now i will come back with feedback after some playing time with it.
wow
wow is all i can say. Ive only used it for a couple of minutes and this is just amazing. Could use the flow feature like in icontact but this is great so far. Well done. Im excited about this app and cant wait for future updates
Thanks for the positive feedback guys .
I am patiently awaiting a VGA version to test with my Diamond. I remember using yrgo a while back when I was investigating all the WM shell options. It seemed pretty cool then, but the lack of true VGA support was disappointing.
Very nice, but will better interface with the default is WM7
To mark the end of 2012, here is a further updated ‘operational’ edition WM6.5 ROM for those who still favour a 'traditional' interface on their TG01
It is derived from WM6.5 ROM, Original build CE OS 5.2.21876 (Build 21876.5.0.72) TG01_KPW100707.005.tsw. It builds on and refines number of previous releases. It contains a significant number of additional tweaks, including in particular:
- A heavily customised new edition of the TRITanium Weather application. This includes a ‘current weather’ icon overlayed on the Titanium home page.
- Addition of the i-nigma 3D Barcode reader application
- Adoption of Opera 10 as the default browser
- Addition of Skype
- Updated editions of a number of other embedded applications (eg. Google Maps)
- Various further Registry amendments to improve operation

I hope this may continue to be useful to users wanting a stable ROM with good base features and apps, onto which they can add own preferred choices to quickly have a fully featured phone. It is configured with a well-featured Titanium interface together with the option to toggle seamlessly between Titanium and the WM Classic Today screen.
Summary of Changes:
- Some 950 further files have been removed, together with addition of various registry changes and rationalisation of .provxml.
- All Titanium configurations for non-WVGA screen formats removed
- Titanium oriented with Carbon theme and harmonised Toshiba Keyboard / Freepad
- Titanium / WM Classic Today toggle incorporated
- Carbon-skinned Core Player included
- Custom edition of TRITanium Weather with current weather overlay. Streamlined by removal of all non-WXVGA configs and setting with Accuweather icons throughout as default.
- 3D Barcode reader added
- Screen sensitivity auto-applied during .cab load
- Full app Close with selectable options.
- Taskbar Battery Meter
Contains:
Style:
Win 7 style opening Splashscreen optimised to the TG01
Win Phone style animated Shutdown splashscreen
Colour Icon Taskbar with Windows 7 Orb [Based on GFreek’s with many own amendments and new icons]
Carbon_TG01 electric blue theme as default
System:
Custom Start Menu structure and Folder Icons
- Power sub-Menu including Power Off, Soft Reset, Screen Light, Standby, Settings and hidden Hard Reset options
- Home Screen Settings sub-Menu including Sliding Albums, Favourite People, TRITanium Weather, My Location
2 pixel full-width Battery meter at top of Taskbar
Real X to ‘Close’ functionality ‘InClose’
.net Framework 3.5 [Based on Arag0n85’s implementation in the original debranded ROM]
Audio Test (5.1 channel identifier)
Preset Registry Settings / Tweaks
- Power
- ClearType
- UK Regional
- SIP
- Wireless G active
- Screen sensitivity applied during .cab load (can be further refined if desired using usual screen.cpl)
Apps:
MS Office Mobile 2010
Google Maps
Arcsoft PhotoBase
Pictures & Videos
Camera with Muted Shutter Sound [To turn off Shutter completely use Novembre5’s .cab]
Video Editor
Skinned edition of CorePlayer
Windows Media Player
Games: Bubblebreaker, Solitaire
Titanium Plugins: TRITanium Weather + My Location; Sliding Albums; Favourite People; Application Launcher
Titanium Toggle
i-nigma 3D Barcode reader
Opera Mobile 10
Skype
Notes:
- AGPS FixMode set to to 0 instead of 2
- It was originally recommended NOT to use the 'Close' function of InClose with the Start Menu to avoid accidentally completely close it down. This could be resolved by clicking on eg. the Time bar on the Titanium home screen to open an applet and then use the X button top right to soft reset (press & hold to bring up the InClose menu).
- The current edition of the ROM overcomes this issue by 'excluding' shell32.exe in InClose settings. An additional, optional exclusion which has been found useful is fexplorer.exe. You may want to amend to include Resco or Total Commander equivalents depending on added 3rd party software.
- Beyond that, it is very much up to the individual how it is preferred to configure InClose - please refer to the settings for the variety of available options.
Memory:
Storage: In Use – 41 MB Free – 221 MB

Reserved #1 - Titanium UI Setup Information
Here are a set of screen shots illustrating the layout and usage of some of the additional Titanium Plugins and also Core Player whch is started direct from Sliding Albums:

Titanium Setup
[Please go to Start | System | Home Setup]
Sliding Albums
- Please ensure albums (up to 30) are stored in \Storage Card\Music. Additional files can be stored anywhere, but will not appear in SA.
- To initialise, open SAConfig. Coose where you want the plugin to be positioned (double tap). Then go to the home screen, tap the SA plugin to configure. Music Player is set to Core Player as default. Tap Create Lists (Left SoftKey). Albums, with cover-art will now display. Tap the plugin to activate Core Player.
Favourite People
- Use the Favourite People settings to add Contacts to the list which will then be directly accessible from the home screen.
- Set Actions (eg. which phone no. to associate) and Layout to taste
TRITanium Weather
Follow on-screen prompts to:
- Set Language
- Choose weather icon theme (Accuweather is now default but other icons can be added if desired)
- Set Units
- Choose Network connection
- Choose Sleuth’s myLocation or Google Latitude if preferred/subscribed
- Select weather feed, eg. Accuweather
- Go Display Options and select ‘Create Titanium Panel’ ; add MYLOCATION for present position (moves with you)
- Also in Display Options, toggle Titanium Weather Overlay and select the icons from \Program Files\TRITaniumWeather\Overlay\Accuweather
- Go Location Options and select ‘Create New Location’ to add specific location. Repeat as needed.
- Finally Run Weather Update and Exit
- Downloaded weather data will then appear on home screen plugin
Titanium Toggle
- Provides capability to set up both a conventional WM6x Today Screen and Titanium UI and switch between as desired while retaining all configuration.
- Before running TiToggle, set up your classic Today screen plugins as desired.. [Start | Settings | Today | items (Uncheck windows default); now select the classic plugins you want working when you switch to classic mode. Click OK. This must be done BEFORE running the script the first time, and only needs to be done once.
- Now use the TiToggle to switch seamlessly back and forth between Uis.
- In the event of issues with Classic Today items not displaying carry out the following steps:
1. Switch to classic today, enable the items you want active
2. Run NoPluginsToday (to make sure they disappear)
3. Then run NoPluginsToday again (to reenable them)
- If the reverse or something else happens you are trying to set classic items up when NoPluginsToday is set to "hide items”. In this case change state and repeat.
Further Titanium Editing
- If further editing of the Titanium UI is desired, showaco’s Titanium Editor is recommended
- Please note that in the event that eg. Iconsoft’s Phonex is installed, the People plugin would not be required and can be hidden with the editor.
- If further 3rd Party apps such as Spb Time 3 are added then, for example, the Titanium Clock plugin can be re-directed to activate Spb Time instead of the default Windows Clock by editing the Registry as follows:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCLOCK]
"1"="\"\\Program Files\\Spb Time\\SpbTime.exe\""
"3"=dword:00000000
"2"=dword:00000002
"0"="World Clock"
Reserved #2 - A Connundrum - can anyone please help ?
In attempting to extend the carbon theme into this ROM, I have sucessfully replaced the Toshiba deep magenta/black background to the Motion Sensor control panel app, but have completely failed to be able to figure out how to achieve the same effect with any other of the CPL applets.
Motion Sensor.exe unusually contains the bitmap, so a simple job to replace. An exhaustive trawl of the other .exe, .cpl, .dll and .mui files has failed to identify any other such applet containing a similar bitmap. The equivalent Toshiba wallpaper files in \windows were removed long since.
So I am stumped as to where these images are being sourced. If anyone can suggest any viable clues as to where they may be and how to replace, will be very much appreciated

Wow, nice new great ROM Kevin! But are you able to achieve to additional ROM and RAM unlock that Fepont suceeded in? Nice to see a themed ROM, keep it up man!
The skinned motion sensor ( Toshiba Settings) looked great! Well done for finding it out. Unfortunately I cannot help you here, but hopfully some else may point you in the right direction!
Cheers!

Hi @olyloh6696 .... many thanks for your kind comments. Much appreciated.
I'm afraid I don't have the expertise to replicate @Feropont's success with the ROM/RAM capacities, but in principle it would be relatively straightforward to translate the setup, if the unprotected base becomes available to work with in due course. In the meantime, I'm hoping someone will be able to resolve the mystery of the Toshiba Settings applets
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Miro, Many thanks for the offer - it would be very good to be able to upgrade the core of the ROM to benefit from the recently released capacity. Not certain if it will work by trying to recreate via @feropont's kitchen, but I think I could do the other way round if I had the 'super clean' core ROM as a start and remixed back all the various additional files, registry changes, provxmls and so forth. I have all those components in separate files and with a bit of thought could probably reassemble. Maybe we should try approaching from both directions and see if there is any difference with the result ?
Thanks for this rom Kevin. I have re flashed your old one.

Hi @mkultr4, thanks for checking the new version out. Just out of curiosity, can you indicate why you preferred to go back to the previous edition ?
I am using your new rom. I was using your first rom and has been really good, but recently the phone would boot numerous times before I could use it. So I looked back on here for other roms and you had cooked a new one! I like the icons on the tool bar (simple I know..but its the minor details).
I will let you know if I encounter any problems, I don't think I will though.
thanks again
Ah ! My apologies - I'd misinterpreted the sense of your note. Very pleased that you like the new edition.
I'm puzzled though about the issues you were having with the original as have been using myself ever since last July and not encountered that type of problem. I'm not sure if you may have eventually developed some registry corruption which eventualy caused instability. Possibly doing a hard reset would have cured - for all practical purposes the same as a re-flash.
Do please let me have feedback as you use the new one and let me know if any glitches become apparent.
Best regards,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, regarding the 'issue' with your other ROM i can confirm it is not a ROM specific problem but occyrs when you mess around with the registry keys (like you said - corrupt reg keys)i was playing around with SK Tools on numerous ROMs and they have led me to the same problems and hard resets. So there is no faults with your ROMs
Thanks Oly - nice to know my initial diagnosis was on the right track !

Kevin

This ROM
I''m currently using this ROM right now and i'm very happy with it.
Two little issues:
- Couldn't download GPS data, but after playing with my location, it worked.
- Back button (green button) of the standard phone dialer not visible.
And titaniumweather is downloading weather information twice, both for MyLocation and
the city I live currently in, but who cares...
Found an old microsoft voice command CAB and now i'm a happy TG01 user.
Keep up the good work, Kevin.

In response....
- Back button (green button) of the standard phone dialer not visible.
I have now tracked down the problem - apologies - too zealous in removing 'unneeded files' when cleaning the ROM. Turns out there were two vital images... As a temporary measure, please copy the following files to the \windows directory and correct WM6.5 stock dialler will resume. One is the Back Arrow; the other is the handset icon on the green Talk button. I will issue an update to the ROM with this corrected and also some key files compressed to improve performance in the next few days.

- Couldn't download GPS data, but after playing with my location, it worked
Not quite sure what was happening here but if you can give some more information may help understanding... Normally GPS likes to have some indication where you are to get it going, eg. by identifying rough location on the map in Garmin XT or via the AGPS in Google Maps. MyLocation does a similar thing.
And titaniumweather is downloading weather information twice, both for MyLocation and the city I live currently in,
Sounds like you have set up 2 tabs on the Titanium Homescreen - one for MyLocation and one for the named city ? In which case the behaviour you describe will happen if you are in that location. However, if you then move elsewhere, while your specified city will continue to show the data for that place, MyLocation will follow you and show data pertinent to wherever you happen to be.
Hope the above is of some help ?
Best regards,
Kevin
