Hey there !
Thanks for your great app
I want to suggest you a different way to measure progress in weightloss.
Since there can be a problem in measuring only the weight (drinking more/less before the measurement, going to restroom, ...)
i want to ask you to include a alternative weightloss measurement.
User can add the circumfences of both legs and both arms and the waist circumfence,
and your cool app sums them up und displays it also on the weight chart as an alternative index
Also a fancy feature would be a reminder to weight/measure( ) yourself.
Best regards, Marko
Nice app! I support the suggestions above.
Already sent an email for Dutch translation.
I think it's a cool app.
A suggestion would be to make some kind of possibility to calculate/diagram weightchange on a week or month basis.
Then it would be easier to get a picture of whether the weight is going in the right direction or not.
Right now I miss the overview a bit..

Sometimes it's better to keep it simple. Keep in mind what the name of the app is. There's a lot of fitness/tracking apps already..
It doesn't rotate, that should change.
x feet isn't accepted without 0 inches.
I have light grey text on a white background, a bit hard to read (when entering weight).
The text, when entering weight, is way too small.
When adding weight the Time says "Set manually" on the button, but it isn't clear as it doesn't show the current time pre-entered (or listed).
If Set manually is tapped in the adding weight, it doesn't allow going back to the current time (not too big of a deal, but still an imperfection in the program).
When entering weight, it should have the keyboard already up.
When the keyboard is up to enter weight it blocks the OK button so one has to hit the back button on the phone to get the keyboard out of the way to tap OK (return on the keyboard doesn't work, which is not really an issue?)
I *really* like that you have the phone pad (mainly #'s) keypad popup when entering the weight, which should be a # (as "too much" is hard to graph . I wish more programs did that!
I haven't used it yet, just installed and launched it, so hopefully more later! So far it is looking useful (don't let my comments dishearten you, feedback means I care enough to provide it).

Perfect! I need to stop being a fatty.
I do find it very odd that it doesn't do portrait orientation though. I've never seen an app that didn't default to portrait, or at least support it!
-Taylor
Thanks to all for all your suggestions!!!
Lot of work right now, but I'm taking notes of all of them, and will try to implement then as soon as possible
There are some of them which I think it might complicate a bit the use of the application... but I will consider putting something like advance tab, and add the options there, thought that I will do in my free time, and don't have so much free time right now
Great! Finally an alternative to the abandoned Weight Journal app. It might not be as "pretty" but it's not the most important thing I guess.
I will just need to migrate my data and as this is open source I will be able to add online syncing ! When I find some time I will try to contribute Google Spreadsheets syncing.

If you don't have enought time, and you find something pointing about google spreadsheets syncing, I could do it and add it to the project
Perfect! Found it at a perfect moment: just as I started my diet. First change in the graph: a steep 5 lbs drop (yay!)
If anything comes up with the app, I'll let you know!

Well, all you really need is here: http://code.google.com/apis/spreadsheets/
I haven't worked with this API, but given how the Google Maps API works this shouldn't be a problem

Here's more (I don't repeat unfixed issues I listed previously):
Problems:
Unlabled Y axis
Starts at right side of screen
No 0 on scale (or not enough span) makes early entries alarming (steep slope for even minor change)
About box doesn't include version number
Scale auto-adjusts even when swiping around
Numbers generally too small
Export to png then goes to Share file (OK if pick says "Export to png & share" or some such). Perhaps Share as a separate menu, then it asks what to share (PNG, ODS, etc).
When going over the preset max weight it says "You are over the weight!", "the" needs to be specified, e.g. "You are over the max weight!"
Suggestions:
Have some way to sort by time of day (e.g. morning weigh-ins versus evening weigh-ins)
Allow marking chart with comments (e.g. "Vacation on cruise ship")
Pinch and zoom
Show for Y axis the max and goal weights as max/min (or min/max)
Should have a Weight alert that isn't maximum but is minimum (some people have the opposite problem to most of us)
Likes:
The existance of the program
The export & import
The license
The BMI calculation
The 7 day average
The automatic time entry
More... (the above are what is most noticable to me)
Don't feel I'm being pushy or whiny at all--I really appreciate you doing this and I understand what side projects are. You asked for feedback, and I like your utility, so I figure I should provide my feedback

Hope to provide an update soon ;D
Found a bit of free time again New version with minor changes. Lot of things to do yet, I don't forget your suggestions!
Works great. Looks good on a tablet (Xoom).
One thing though: tried to install from the Market instead of using the apk found here and it certainly doesn't support tablets. I guess it hasn't updated yet?

For those who don't know PocketCM or ContactManager, it's a contact application:
What it does:
- Can be used completely with finger, no need for stylus
- 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).
- allow you to see SMS conversation history
- fully skinnable
- All basic contact operation
- Access to WM contact application if required (for some specific operation taht can't be done using PCMC).
Build a theme:
http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?8,363
History
For a complete changelog, you can look here.
Version 0.15
* Edit before call option: press a call button for 250ms, you'll be able to edit the number
o If you press a contact for 250ms in the list, you can call the contact directly
* SMS optimization, read message faster, doesn't block the device
* Support for second and third e-mail address.
* 40% improved startup time
* PocketCM 0.10 support
* Fixed for landscape mode
* Bug fixes
* Lighter executable, about 200Kb less
Version 0.14
- Current index position indicator
- Better list scrolling feedback at beginning and end of list
Option menu to choose theme (Theme don't need to be called theme.cmt anymore, they can be called anything.cmt. Put them in the program folder, hold the phone button for a second, choose option, then choose theme, and pick the one you like)
- SIP setting is persistant and independant of Windows Mobile: You choose the SIP you like (or no sip) and it will be used by PCM no matter what SIP you're using in WM
- Staying pressed on a message mark it as read/unread
- Fixed PCM looks without theme (it's definitly better with a theme, but is usable).
- Bug fixes
- And yes for some really annoying people (I hope they have some sense of humor), an option to get out of fullscreen
And of course you can get the stuff: here
finally you decide to made a native version... what language are you using to do that ? because your exe is very big and it still use more of 1 Mbyte of memory in my phone... eheheh i saw also you decided to use letter dividers as my iMedia, now I'm in holiday and i can continue my work too
btw You are doing a very good job congratulations
hi,
what's the difference between this log and contactmanager 0.11 ?
bye
Did you even read the message?...
read the 10 first line... right after the "From ContactManager here's what's new/modified:"

And I'll be happy to test your version as soon as it's usable.
By the way, how were the exam?
exams very well thanks... and finally holiday for a month!! my version about scrolling is already usable... I have to make a class to make some nice bitmap buttons, assign commands for direct call and direct SMS (they are just two strings of code) but the most is done... all the other are features to add, I'm using just C++ and API why you choosed to use MFC ? I think you could do it without, it's better.
Wow.
I have to admit this is very impressive. Small memory footprint, fast, elegant...!
And thankfully no .NET, lol.
That threaded SMS is very nice as well. That's a huge bonus.
Couple of things/requests:
- 240x240 support
Right now, it's mostly okay. But in a Contact, some of the formatting gets cut off.
- Type as well as scroll
I understand the primary purpose is to scroll with your finger, but what about having something similar to other Contact managers? So say I want to find "Steve" I type S-t-e with each letter narrowing down the list. Right now, I can type "S" but if I hit "T" it jumps to all of the "T" contacts. Also, better D-pad support. Like say I hit "S" it would be nice then to select each contact by using the D-pad.
I obviously use a Treo so it's much faster for me to type than scroll with the KB always open.
- Any plans for further integration of the threaded SMS into the system?
Like hooking into the notifications and having it "take over" from the default system? I would suspect this is very difficult, yet you've certainly proven yourself already with this app!
The graphics and transitions are simply superb too.
best,
Mal
hi,
thx for this new version but at the moment i will stay with contactmanager 0.11:
1. the alphabetical index on the left has smaller letters than in the .net cf version.
2. scrolling in the previous version works better. the new one has an unnatural acceleration during the scrolling.
edit:
3. on the previous version i could tap for example on "W" and it jumped to the last contacts in my list, which start with the letter "T". in the new version nothing happens.
edit2:
could you please try this:
the current problem with the alphabetical index is that i want to use the device one-handed. while it is in my right hand i have to use my right hand's thumb to use the index. using the left (visible) index means, that i have to stretch my thumb over the whole screen and it often covers display of the currently pressed letter. and with the invisible index on the right holding the device gets a bit difficult and it could drop if i am in the bus for example.
i wanted to ask you if you could try, how a horizontal alphabetical index on the bottom would work. it that too small on a 2,8" display or could it be useful?
Bugs
1. When I press the the hide button it actually exits the program.
2. Text on the Favorites screen is off the screen at the edges.
edit: I also agree with LordDeath that the alphabetical index on the left side should be bigger like on the .Net version.
kDub
how to i adjust the settings for the new PocketCM? in the older version (.11) there was a settings.ini file, however, i dont see such a file in the .zip folder. am i missing something here?
Bugs with 0.5
1.) Contact pictures in details view are cropped in the middle of the picture, so it appears there's missing pixel rows in the middle.
2.) When favorites is empty, the text displayed on the favorites screen runs off the screen, it should be word wrapped.
Great works so far!
Is it possible to tweak the speed of the scroll/flick?
Not trying to be a pain but is there an ETA for the .cab version? Sorry if you posted this, didnt see it in your post. Thanks
Wow so much faster, its great.
Just to offer my 2 cents
1. I love the SMS Threader. Anyway you make the keyboard retractable? Possibly change the font size even?
2. Also related to the keyboard. its actually very good, I just find it difficult to get the buttons on the edge because of the design of the 8525 in my case. Maybe to move the Q,A, etc in a little more? Maybe im retarded but I tried writing 'mwah' to my gf and I hit s instead of a 4 times in a row, lol
3. Lastly, can we set up the order that the contact page is displayed for a particular contact. IE right now it looks to be in a strange order (for me anyway) ..showing Company, Home, Work, Mobile, then SMS. Ive love to have Mobile, then SMS then whatever. Or something like that. If we could modify it that would be even better.
Thanks for taking my input. =P
Great product!
I like it better then the ContactManager version but I have one problem your keyboard does not suport many of the letter we use in my contry like æøíóýð so is it posible to not use your keyboard and insted just use the one inside WM6? I know I can use the builtin keyboard but I don't want the one built into the app to show
Hi tene
Just tested your new work. Superb! Few observations:
1) To fast scroll, move finger across the full screen. Short scroll, just the centre portion. Cool!
2) Threading SMS display not perfect yet. When I switched from keyboard to Phonepad, the sms threads moved up automatically, but it didn't display properly until I touch it, move it. But the fact that you can read your previous sms is... cool too!
3) Sending of SMS, no problem I believe, cos' it appears in the Messaging 'Sent' box. Will know when my wife reply.
- But one thing that's strange. In the 'Sent' box, it didn't show the my wife's name, but just the phone number. Any idea how come?
4) The 'twirling' effect - moving from contact screen to SMS panel is COOL!
5) Index scrolling.. You lengthen the display of letters is also a great enhancement. Not so easily block by hand now.
6) Index scrolling 2 .. When you scroll to 'E', it will stop at E section (with the 'E' title bar on top). Think this is good cos' it's very clear that you are at the section of your selection.
Overall, a great job!!
Great upgrade!
Definite improvement over 0.11--good job!
Observations
--Loads much faster as advertised!
--I like the scrolling effect in 0.11 better. It was smoother, but now seems less fluid and "stiffer"
-- New single letter headers to break up the contacts list is interesting--not sure I like it yet
-- How do I delete a contact? Appears I have to select the contact, tap to bring up the menu, tap to view contact, then click menu softkey then delete and another tap to confirm...too many steps (6 taps on screen). Can you add a "Delete contact" option with confirmation in the menu for eact contact? Wouls reduce to 4 taps anyway...
--PageDown and PageUp were not added as mentioned in 0.11 thread--can you consider adding this to function just like up/down on the d-pad?
It seems as if the A-Z index on the side is designed more in mind for one-handed operation for left handed people. Is there any way you'd consider adding an option in the settings.ini file to allow us to move around components? Say for example, moving the A-Z index bar to the right side, move contact pictures in the list view, etc.
Other than that, the only things I'm not wild about is the 'snappiness' of the scrolling as opposed to how soft it was in the previous version, and the small area on the details page to use a finger gesture to go back to the contact list. The last one isn't such a big deal, but the other two would definitely improve usability.
Absolutely fabulous application (as before) and now lightning fast!! Thank you!
I love the SMS Threader. However, I noticed, that the sort order is not always correct. I send an SMS at 19:55 and received an SMS at 19:56. However the last one was put above the first one on the list.
Also: Where is the settings.ini? In my Zip.file of PocketCM there was none.
Read the "Build a theme" section in the original post.
The settings are stored in "theme.cmt". It's just a zip file. There should be a "settings.ini" in the "theme.cmt" file, that you can mess with.
You can do this by :
1.) Renaming "theme.cmt" to "theme.zip"
2.) Unzipping theme.zip to a temporary folder
3.) Modify the settings.ini to your liking
4.) Zip up the contents of the temporary folder
5.) Name the zip file theme.cmt.
Looks great.
Thanks
A couple of observations: Can't change order of phone numbers, if you have a few numbers for a contact the normal mobile contact number ends up off screen, where secondary numbers appear at the top of the list.
Does not seem to be a way to show email address on the contact screen, used to be able to do this thru the .ini.
When using the indexing (which works very well) the "letter" in the bar is too close to the scrolling finger, would be nice if it was in the middle of the screen (portrait mode) so it can be seen when using either hand.
Also I have seen when in portrait mode that when you select the contacts picture the drop down box can come up with 3 x 2 boxes ( 2 lots of 3 side by side) insrtead of the 6 in a row.
Please ignore part of this email, will play with the theme editing to see if it solves some of my issues
Keep up the great work

Hi
Just loaded it up, changed it to the black skin, which i like best. Seems to run great, haven't run into any problems yet. Very nice work, mate.
One think i did notise is, that when I go into a contact, the "Back" is missing the right side of the "B". Just the vertical part. No biggie, but still guess it's not suppose to be like that.
Keep up the great work.
Flemming
this is truly the best tool ever for pdas. thanks a million times for your hard work.
Great update you're doing a great job.
Loading times is better than 0.15, which is a great improvement.
IMHO - the only thing missing is a keyboard easy to find a contact, and the best one I could find is the one found in FingerFriendlyFriends program. I truly love that keyboard. Implementing it in PocketCM would make it simply perfect.
Keep up the awesome work!!

Why do you need a keyboard when all you have to do is slide your finger down the side of the screen to get the alphabet bar, it doesn't get much easier than that!
Install from a zip: copy the files
Filtering with keyboard: click on phone (bottom right) and you can filter easily
great job.
Few messages are missing, for instance when you want to delete a contact.
Tene, I love the start-up time now, it has dramatically decreased. My only quirks: It seems like the scrolling feature has a delay, I will flick and it will stall a second and then it will scroll very fast. It doesnt seem as smooth as iContact. Also, when pushing the favorites tab I think the word favorites should change to All after it is pressed because pressing it again leads back to all the contacts. When you used to have buttons the filter used to change to the all contacts button after you press it, why does it not when its just words? overall great though, good work Tene

Did u try it?? it 1000 times easier to use that keyboard than scrolling with your finger, at least that's my opinion.
And since there's already a keyboard why not use a better one

Yes I have tried it and I do like it as well. However it does take up a good amount of screen real estate and for this reason I would rather not see it implemented.
Thanks .... Very Good Job But Still have the bug when I press and hold phone .... its minimize by it self and i can not press close button... why !!! idon not know
do i need to uninstall 0.15 first?
much better than previous version on the athena. runs fast now and very good. only quirk is it seems the animation for the filter is slow though on vga and lags. seems like sms animation lags a bit too. but much better than previous versions
Ive only noticed one bug, when using the the side scroll to go to contacts by letter, if i try to scroll all the way down to the end of my contacts, it does the bounce animation and half the screen (left) shows the end of my contact list and the other half (right) shows the beginning of my contact list starting at "A"
I dont have any "X", "Y", or "Z" contacts in my phone either so i dont know if that helps
thanks for making such an amazing piece of software.
Can we use the themes we made for the previous version, or do we have to start from scratch?
Love the app by the way!!
Wow.. loading time is nice now. I like it a lot (black theme). Looks much cleaner and more crisp.
Nice improvement!
Same buggies as already said in the topic, when using side scroll (a/z) and I select the z the screen seems to break up a bit. Also don't have Z in my phonebook.
And yeah, the B of 'Back' is a bit too far to the left, but that seems more like a skinning thingy.
Other than that it's working great so far!

If I understand correctly you have to start from scratch because a lot has changed for the skinning.
New skinning has much more options and can be much more customized as far as I know. Also has gradients done with color codes rather than images.
Haven't tried it out yet (the skinning) but this is what I've read here and there.
I thought I had seen that somewhere as well...that sucks, I just got to the point I made a couple skins I like (for me, that is quite the accomplishment LOL)!!!!
I have a suggestion to make it even faster for some cases.
It seems you do a lot more processing than necessary to activate the PocketCM window on launch if it's already open.
If PocketCM is already running, switching to PocketCM from a task manager is much quicker than launching the .exe again. So maybe you can optimize your launch code to look for an existing instance earlier in your code and active it if it's already running.

If PocketCM is already running, switching to PocketCM from a task manager is much quicker than launching the .exe again. So maybe you can optimize your launch code to look for an existing instance earlier in your code and active it if it's already running.

It's already working like that.

After reading a few posts about the lack of a decent facebook application I have taken up the challenge and started developing an application for windows mobile. I asked kidnamedAlbert to help me with a theme based on a screenshot of iPhone facebook app and here is what he came up with:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Look !!!! a tiny screenshot
The base facebook library is working and has been tested over the last week. Hopefully I can get a very very Alpha release that at least does what it says on the cover out by the end of the weekend
Planned Features:
All the standard profile and friend goodies
Newsfeeds
Facebook chat
Mobile SMS
QVGA and VGA Support by taking advantage of .net docking and a really cool drawing routine (Forgot about this one )
Photo Upload and Download (Maybe video ?) I am thinking of using HTC Album to display the downloaded Photos if possible (Why reinvent the wheel if it has nice shiny mags
already)
Lets see what we can add here as soon as the above works flawlessly
I will start posting a changelog in the 2nd post and begin loading some screenshots. I have a few ppl interested in beta testing, but the more the merrier. I am going to try and adopt a "release early release often" strategy because I belive this will help me get to the bottom of most bugs as quickly as possible. As opposed to building a rom, I have more control over this app and will therefor be easier to patch and fix.
Release Area
Here it is
The following features work:
Friend Request RETRIEVAL
Friends, Online and All Friends
Friend Albums, when viewing a friend tap the Profile Pic to access Albums
Album Downloads, By default albums are downloaded to "My Documents\My Pictures\XDAPPCFB\Friend Name\Album Name" Although this not ideal it works for now
Profile Pic update from file or camera
Chat ... the code is there but i have not been able to fully test functionality.
Code:
Once we know it all works, I will start making it pretty. Add VGA and WVGA Support, Fix landscape support.
EXPECT BUGS This is a beta release. I cannot be sure that everything works as it should
Caught some other bugs on my own *proud*
FriendRequests is broken and was the cause of the crash. Has been removed for now. Also fixed a few issues regarding SIP, taking Diamond and Opal SIP's into account
0004
* Added Settings for User and Password caching
* Better error handling on the login process
Save the following code as Settings.xml in the folder where the exe is
Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<configuration>
<appSettings>
<add key="UserName" value="User" />
<add key="Password" value="pass" />
</appSettings>
</configuration>
0005
Fixed the settings bug
0006
Delay load implementation of the friend images. As the image finishes loading the list will automatically update.
Added Close feature to the top right corner of the app.
I am now going to sleep happy testing
0007
VGA and QVGA "mostly" implemented.
Own Album retrieval.
Listing Friend Requests fixed
Friends list (hopefully fixed )
Topbar removed, now showing WM Default taskbar
Landscape tab buttons working.
Chat messages sending seems to work. Testers seem to be afk mostly
0008
We have wall. Well most of it anyway.
Improved loading of friends by only calling images when needed
Tested chat with some friends. Select friend from list. Then initiate chat using the chat button inside the friends profile.
0009
Fixed wall post list. Test did not wrap.
Fixed text wrapping on friends list.
Fixed wrapping on long chat messages.
Friends list will now only load images when a user is selected and then cache the profile image.
Click on your profile image to download you album to phone.
0010
Finally found the bug with the friendslist. Thanks for all the feedback guys.
Cleaned up the code a little. When selecting a friend to view the app will immediatly retreive the image and cache it for the list, else the images are fetched one by one in making sure we dont call the server too much.
Added online friends list to the chat tab which will list online friends
Added Wall Post to friends.
Fixed the Wall bug. I cleared the list once too many lol
Made it a little prettier.
Made the lists a little bigger so text dont get garbled. Might still happen here and there but I am working on a different sizing routine
0011
Friendslist paging (20 friends at a time) I dont have 20 friends so please provide feedback
Moved live friend updates to a button on the friends list
Have fun ... report bugs, but please see if the bug HAS been reported already
Let me clear a few things up
Right now the main objective is to get this app working correctly. Once that is done, I will spend time writing new controls to make it look like the mock screen. So many things are still going to change. Just dont see the point in writing controls only to find I am not going to use them.
After having a look at all the ideas being posted I finally started working on the chat interface. Should have a screen up latest tomorrow. The following bits are working just need to be made pretty
Retreiving Friends and Info
Retreiving Notifications
Retreiving Albums. (Still deciding if we should cache this locally for gprs user)
Uploading Foto to Album
I am gonna ask you guys to have a little patience since this is my 1st attempt at a Windows Mobile application and some Desktop habits are hard to break
14/12/2008
Okay so I am having a little bit of an issue with the pretty controls. The bottom tab is working correctly, doesnt slide like manilla but it hilights the button when pressed and activates the appropriate tab. Currently the testing is working in qvga portrait mode, As soon as I have the landscape stuff reallining properly the 1st beta will hit the post. This should be ready later tonight or tomorrow morning. Currently I am using standard tab controls. I want to make sure everything works as expected before I start making the custom controls.
One last thing. The program caches friends profiles and does a check when connecting to check for changes. This is currently taking just a tab too long for my liking. Do we need caching ?
15/12/2008
Bleh a virus delayed the beta release
Im cleaning up a little and should then be able to upload
16/12/2008
Guys I need a bit of help please. kidnamedAlbert is a little busy at the moment and I need someone who can please just help me with the images for the bottom bar. I have very crude images for the hilighting. Looks like crap since I am not an graphics designer.
17/12/2008
MS Seem to have swallowed a retarded pill and managed to "forget" to add the rich text box control to netcf 3.5. I am going to try something with the klistcontrols used by so many finger apps for the chat part of the program. A few more tweaks and I will have the beta up in about an hour from now (13:15 SAST)
13/01/2009
Okay so turns out work took a slice .. huge chunk of my time this month. Besides LOADS of bug fixes. The following features will be in the next beta (available by this weekend)
Inbox (Finally !!!)
Pokes and Poke back
View Albums and download images to Device
Create and Upload Albums (From file or Camera)
In order for the beta to work on your device you need to give the application access to facebook using the following url http://www.facebook.com/login.php?popup&v=1.0&api_key=eabf3403418e6503b8b6163552f7e0ef
Wow. simply amazing. Can't wait!
No plans on a VGA though eh?
nice that would be great good luck i see your a fellow wizard user +1
wow this is really nice! i cant wait for the release!
I love the styling, It fits with both Facebook and a fresh and fast user interface for a touchscreen. I am expecting this is a fullscreen only app? (no top and bottom bars/curtains from windows mobile visable while using.)
And one big feature would be a 'poke' ability as the iPhone page does not, and only the m.facebook page has it. (did not see it on your feature list.)
In any regard, great ideas and work so far by both you and kidnamedAlbert.
This looks great. Looking forward to your release
look nice, my touch hd wil love it

"Hi Ariebk
Great app, very impressive and professional work, keep going
May I attract your attention to a couple mispellings in Settings
1st page: "defualt" instead of "default"
8th page: "srat up skim" instead of "start up skin"
These are very little issues and I'm sure there must be others in the wait list that are more important (time time time....)
All the best!"
I d/l yesterday ver 3.21 and this issue is still there + after pressing Messaging i get the messages list but when I close it the home skin doesn't refresh and I get this screen below.
Thanks for your work
Seems I'm the first one to reply, so here's my opinion. Please take this as constructive criticism. This program seems like a nice replacement for separate contact and dialer applications. However, at the momemt there are a few things that need to be fixed before I'd consider migrating:
1) Smart-dialing. Not debatable. This needs to be included by default. It is just, simply put, *the* most effective way to dial.
2) Appearance. I remember reading in the previous thread that someone thought the screen was too "complicated"/crammed. I think I'd have to agree. I think it's the monotonous cell-like layout that is off-putting.
- Consider brining in some variation.
- Make the dailpad's appearance different to the rest of the app.
- Consider a more "organic" appearance.
- Remove unnecesary items from the screen and list in soft-key menus.
Being a beta or pre release of this program we know about some bugs... hopefully there will be a way to to have a tweak for it to have this fix because it becomes irritating overtime and like ROMS we have to flash or to uninstall this immediately
although nice to have a keyboard which has less than 500kb
Quite cool, thanQ. Could do with t9 input though.

Hi H3x
Thanks for your remarks.
The most effective way to dial, in many times is the way you use to. I think that any system that gets you to the contact you want in a 1-2 seconds, is a good one. The o3touch system will bring you to the contact as fast as any other good system. It is also a meter of some training and selecting the best approach, considers the total number of contact you have. Try the “1-2 letters + space + 1-2 letter, for over 1000 contacts, try the 2-3 letters for less, try the “contain ..”, try switching between them as you search, and find the best for you.
The main point is what should take place following finding the contact. The application offers a full ability to manage the data as well as sending SMS or email, and many other options, all within the same environment.
I have tested the application for 3 month with over 200 users. It may take some time to get familiar with the different approach. Many times the first reaction is about the look and not about the do. Most of the time users study very fast how to do what. My offer to you is to give it a real one hour try.

Hello Jeen
What is the language that you want to switch to?
For the moment the application “talks” in English Russian and Hebrew. (Setting screen 3, row 3)
It very easy to translate and to add a new language. Also you can use a special desktop tool for the process of translation and producing the needed XML files.

This application does look very promising indeed! For any haters: try programming yourself and stop shunning his application. He's doing this in free time, so show some respect. For those offering constructive criticism, good advice.
In the last thread it didn't support on-screen QWERTY. Does it now, and if not, will it do soon?

Hello ShaunC193
The main purpose for the application is to support one hand fast operation for the common daily tasks. The QWERT keyboard needs too much room on the screen for one hand (and no stylus) operation. Sorry to say but for the moment, other things are in the ToDo list for the next version.
Thanks for the support. We buy top technology, full of graphic effects, and the day after go to look for solutions, in order to do the simple tasks in human way. It makes users displease, also to forget that it was not me to promises anything. The application concept is: No to scrolling and No to dragging, just Touch what you want and Touch More if you want more. It is not what we were told we should love and adore. Some time it is so easy that users can no find the obvious touch. It also offers a solution that works the same on any device, so it will follow me to the next one. Not everyone will install such a dull UI to notice its efficiency, and certainly not every one must like it.

Hi tito12

Sorry for that, it will be fixed. If I remember correctly, you also advised to move the “Close” button in the contact info page to the center...
As for refreshing the screen, it is a known issue that accrues also in the situation of waking up the device while the app is on screen. For now, touch the “Fast dial” button a long press and it will refresh the screen.
Thanks a lot

Hello,
Let me tell a few words. I've made a russian translation of this excellent software. I'm trying to promote it in russian forums. I see two kinds of responces. Positive and not. I'll try to explain my thought.
IMHO, main raeson of o3touch dislike is not complete understanding of it's main ideas.
- o3tocuh is designed for one-hand operating, so there are no qwerty-keyboard, only phone-style dialpad. For devices with small screens it's may be a better solution.
- o3tocuh trying to spped up contact search. Try to turn on "Contains..." mode for search, and see it. I have about 100 contacts in my phonebook, but now I usually find needed one in a 3-4 clicks. One letter from name, space, oe letter for surname. Done. I didn't think that T9 search will be much faster, but also I think Arie will implement it in future, if it's so necessary.
- o3tocuh is designed to minimize memory and space usage, so there is no glittery-skins, 3D sound effects and so on. o3touch is like guud business class - not shining, not visually stunning, but you get's all you need. Two skins for day and night is enough for usual needs. Maybe in future, will be added color scheme editor. But as for me, it didn't makes much sence.
In conclusion, I can said - if you didn't try o3tocuh - please do it It takes not much resources, and runs good on any screen resolution (even wide-ones). If you tried and didn't like - give another chance, it's worth it.

French Translation ?
Hi Arie
Do you have a French translation or do you need one ?
I will readily try to make it. Tell me where to begin

Hi all If you already follow my Thread of" Pocket Gforce" you know that i stop working on it because of the lack of time.
Atm igot myself whit some spare time and whit lots of requests to continue the project.
So i start developing a new Pocket Gforce (v2) that is fully customizable and works in any Resolution(VGA, WVGA, etc and Landscape or Portrait) as long you got a proper skin.
This is where you come in.
This is the skin that i made and i will explain how you can make one.

BIG UPDATE
The "basic.png" is the skin that i create (i advice to use paint.net or other program to make the skins using layers)
The "basic.ini" is the configuration of the skin like this
//Starts Here (don't change the lines order)
Basic Skin (skin name)
Landscape=1 (0= portrait 1= landscape)
Gforce X axis
dial_enable=1 (is thedial visible 1/0)
dial_scale=1 (scale in G)
dial_x=324 (x coordinate (remember uper left corner is x0 y0))
dial_y=360 (y coordinate )
dial_l=80 (length)
dial_z=0 (where is zero value)
dial_a=29 (aperture of the dial)
dial_color_r=255 (dial red color 0~255)
dial_color_g=255 (dial green color 0~255)
dial_color_b=255 (dial blue color 0~255)

graph_show_max=0 (show max value or not 1/0)
graph_color_r=0
graph_color_g=0
graph_color_b=0
graph_frame_enable=0 (show frame around graph 1/0)
graph_frame_color_r=0

graph_frame_color_b=0
graph_background_enable=0 (show background on graph or transparency 1/0)
graph_background_color_r=0
graph_background_color_g=0
graph_background_color_b=0
// the file continues for the Y Z T and Speed dials (at the moment speed dont work)
(Midle dial is "S", left one is "Y", right is "Z" and bottom is "X"
And this is the part that show all the skins that you have in the skins folder and where you can change them. To access it push middle button or open "Pocket gForce 2 Options"
Unbaliveble only one person post something and actually no one contact me about skins or beta testing so i suppose no one really cares... but i had 1215downloads of it
So if the community don't want to help i just gonna sell my project as i was always for open source but...
Any way the program is now working whit the Sensors and in the next week i will test whit the gps part.
So do you really care/like about Pocket Gforce ? What to see Pocket Gforce 2 at max capacity, the way you like and above all FREE?
So Start making some skins...
Log Version
2.04 Touch Menu for Dpad-less PDAs, Extra Costume Skins, beta GPS system, beta Log system. More info on page 4 post 35

any way i already downlodad ir lets see if its work on my omnia ill let you know
Please keep up the good work, if you received no big feedback for your apps, this might be just because the people are happy with it and got no problems. I see most of the replies for any application is based on errors and bugs.
Hi all i made some major updates as the Sensores are now working and i implemented a graph system.
Check the skins i made so you can understand the possibility of this program, and ppl plz contribute whit some skins tips or critics cuz i need some incentive to keep it free

It should work but back then the sensors where not activated, check the latest versions, but as the originals skins don't have the proper size you will not use the full size of your screen.

I suppose your right but no comments at all is very frustrating...
I have downloaded it. I will reply after the use.
Ah thats awesome
I love the version befor, hmm i dont remember the version number but i truly love it!
One thing i think you implement or change is a tab or mode that the speedometer is the same size as the overall g-meter.
That i think would be nice
Just PM me if you need any testing!
//linkus
EDIT
I noticed one thing, I have SPB Mobile Shell, on a Touch Diamond, and when i start the app and it change the display to landscape, it wont change back to regular mode after exit.
Cheers

hi !!
i've never used your app, but i can test the last version if you want !!
I'm searching such an app for a long time, because i can't buy me a Nissan GTR !! (To understand the joke, ask google to show you the computer screen of that car !!)
Have a nice day !!
love the v1 app but couldn't get it to show in MPH, so thought i'd give the new version a try. Looking good so far but the screen doesn't fill properly on my TouchHD. Also, can't find a way to exit the app, other than taskmanager which leaves the screen in landscape mode. Thx

As i say there is a need to some one to make some skins for other resolutions so my one skins fit best on VGA devises, wi dont you try to make some skins and post them here for other also? And dont forget that is not only backgroud is also what you whant to display.

I supose my explanation on the first post is a ls some what confuse, so here is a temporaty tourial as i supose i can make a video and post in youtube
I recommend you grab a copy of the free Paint.Net whit as me tool "magic wand" for select parts of images and have multi layer capability. There are lots of tutorials about it.
1. google some gauge dials like this one for example
2. find some nice background for it
3. use Paint.net and the tool "magic wand" to cut only the dial (normally you need to adjust the % of the tool to get the part you need.
4. you wil get a clean image of the dial without the background, remove also anything you dont want, like needles if it there is any or any text you dont need.
5. make a new image whit you device resolution whit the background
6. Put a new layer on top of the background and copy/past the dial in the spot you want
7. repeat the last step fot the rest of the dials
8. save it as "test.png" MUST BE PNG
9. Open one of the already created skins like "basic.ini"
(check post one for a explanation of the ini file)
10. disable anything that you dont use (like some dials digitals or graphs)
11. start putting coordinates and sizes (use paint.net to get the coordnates for some poits like the center of the dial.
12. save it as "test.png"
13. copy the "test.png" and "test.ini" to the skins folder
14. enjoy
Ok, thought I'd try something simple to start with so i just made an HD version of your basic skin. I wanted to put the speed on there too, but it shows as huge 'g' numbers so i just turned it off in the ini. Once i figure out the concept of skinning properly i'll come up with some others (i prefer a portrait style). Incidentally i the middle dial is 'T' not 'S' as stated in your instructions. Couldn't figure out how to make the dials eliptical rather than round either.
I think i'm getting the hang of it. Tweaked gfAnalizer for the HD and created a new skin from scratch. Let me know what you think, obviously the speedo isn't working but i've left it enabled anyway.
Nice start whit the skins, im going to put the layer files of basic so ppl can use them easy.
Im compiling users skin on then 3post, after some more skins appear
Just been for a test drive
There are a few things i think this app needs:
Exit option
Calibrate or Zero option when installed in car.
0-60 time which starts when car moves off and stops when reaching 60.
Log facility, ideally with gps info stored for overlay on google maps
