Today I tried to suggest some new functionalities like SMS or other notification ring tone management to the great TNT WM6.1 cookers and someone said these are junks and should not be add to the great OS, if you want it then DIY (do it yourself).
I want to mention these functionalities are not junk because every simple phone OS has it. If it is junk why everybody searches the way to handle it ?
Why Windows Mobile can not handle such simple tasks ?
Anyway, I developed one and uploaded it for you in a simple executable file under .net compact framework v2.
This application supports MP3, Wave, AAC and WMA formats with no need to be copied to Windows or any other directory.
If there was something wrong, please let me know .
Hope you enjoy it.
Edit : A new feature added, Reminder Alarm. Consider assigning a new Task and set a reminder time and date for it. In this release you can set a new sound for it.
It says I need a newer version of the .NET framework
where do i get that?
my framework version is 2.0.7045.0
I have it installed on my device via TNT WM6.0.
You can download it from microsoft web site, from the following link I think :
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...6B-356B-4A2C-857C-E62F50AE9A55&displaylang=en
it works!
but only the incoming tone works. i tried to work the text tone
but when i do receive the text, no sound comes out
and i tried a soft reset
What format did you set for your SMS tone ? was it MP3, Wave or AAC ?
What OS version are you using ? And what's your device ?
I've tested it on Wizard (I-mate K-Jam) and TNT WM6.0 so many times and it worked.
i tried both WAV and MP3
I can not figure out your OS correctly.
What does the application show in the Messaging : New Text Message part, when you open the application ?
I ask others, please let me know the results.
Thanks so much.
it works. i uploaded the slim WM6.1 last night but is it normal for it to be so short?

You mean your SMS tone worked too ??
I did not understand what do you mean about it to be so short.
Happy that worked.
Do you have any new idea to be added or any problem in the application ??
Does anyone know how to change the alarm clock sound to any other sound file ?? any tweak ??
no. but that is what i wanted to ask from you
if you can make your program do alarm clock sounds too
I'm hardly searching for it, have not found the solution but if I found it, I will add it for sure.
Thanks you so much for your patience.
At last found the solution by testing on my own device
The application will be ready soon.
Provided the new application with following functions :
1- Changing Incoming Call Ringtone
2- Changing New Text Message (SMS) Ringtone.
3- Changing Alarm Clock Ringtone (new).
Uploaded the file here in this post and also updated the first uploaded file too.
So, please download the latest file to have all the functionalities. (Both of them are the same)
I will be really happy to hear from you and having your ideas about it.
Thanks so much, hope you enjoy it.
you are one amazing man! thanks
much appreciated
Thanks dear sungersoo for your support and help.
Any new idea and comment is welcomed.
Hope all of you to be happy.
can you tweak it so, when a sms does come in... you can touch the screen or hit the side button for the music to stop?
or the menu>dismiss when the notification pops up
I searched a lot, but I have not found anything.
I'm thinking about handling on screen key events, so when I done it, I will let you know.
Anyone who downloads the application, please let me know the results.
Thank you.

Hi Friends,
I am Shailesh Ashar and this is my 2nd app. ( 1st being Group SMS details of which can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306682 ). OK guyz , this is a big one (atleast for me).
Whats the App:
CallFirewall basically rejects unwanted calls.
Features & Options:
a. Accecpt all calls - pretty self explainatory
b. Accept call from My Contacts only - accepts calls from contacts only, others are rejected
c. Reject all calls - pretty self explainatory
d. White List - accepts calls only from the white listed nos
e. Black List - accepts all call except from the black listed nos
f. Black List Pattern - any no STARTING from the black list pattern list is rejected.
for eg. if you enter "123", so all nos STARTING from "123" will be rejected
this is a very nice option with which you can block nos from any particular network, country, city , area or whatever you can think of.
Finally there is also an option to reply with an SMS.
IMPORTANT:
1. To Delete Blacklist/Whitelist Nos TAP & HOLD the stylus for a few seconds to get the options.
2. Autostart - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter (without the '') and copy to windows/startup/
3. Please uninstall previous versions before installing ver 1.3
4. Also Delete Callfirewall.xml from the Root folder. Previous versions Callfirewall.xml will not work with ver 1.3.
5. The XML file for 1.3 and 1.4 are compatible.
KNOWN ISSUES :
1. One Ring Delay in Rejecting Calls.
2. Ongoing call -> Blocked Caller Calls -> Existing Call is Hung Up.
3. Problems with some Radio ROMS where the caller identdification is delayed by Windows by a couple of seconds.
PLEASE DO NOT MAIL ME COMPLAINING ABOUT THE KNOWN ISSUES.
Ver 1.4
----------
1. Selective Call Barring.
Now you can restrict selected outgoing calls.
2. Add outgoing calls as Appointments.
Ver 1.3
----------
1. Added SMS Black List
You can add numbers as well as names.
eg. you put 'abc' as name, then all smses starting , ending and containing 'abc' as contact name will be blocked. The same works for numbers as well so beware.
2. Added Silent Startup - Create a shortcut to Callfirewall.exe with 'startup' as parameter and copy to windows/startup/.
3. 'Add as Appointment' Timings can now be adjusted by minutes ( + or - ).
4. Appointment is now saved in format: "Call from : Mr.X NUMBER Accepted/Rejected", Category : Call Firewall, Reminder Alarm is not set.
Ver 1.2
----------
1. Added option to reject unknown / private / withheld nos
2. Option to Add Accepted calls as calendar appointment
3. Option to Add Rejected calls as calendar appointment
4. Toggle Option to show 'CallFirewall' in 'running programs' / Task Managers
5. Save User Settings so that it remains intact upon restart.
6. Completely revamped UI to accomodate new options.
Ver 1.1
----------
Also added an option when selected, will ask you whether to send an SMS when a call is rejected
SmartPhone Version 1.2
-------------------------------
I have ported the PPC version to SmartPhone as is. So essentially all the cons as well as issues with ppc have also been carried fwd.
I'll be working on all the issues and will also be incorporating some of the new features and suggestions listed by you all. So please keep the feedbacks coming. Also, I am doing this in my free time so pls be patient with the updates.
From now on Both PPC & SmartPhone versions will be updated hand in hand.
Please give your valuable feedback / Comments / Suggestions

Hey that sounds cool.. (especially the "FREE" part ).
Anyways, a request/question.. Is it possible for you to embed an "Interactive" functionality to the "Reply with SMS" option, i.e., when u miss/dismiss/ignore a call, it should ask you whether u want to sen an sms or not. (Just like SPB Phonesuite)...

will surely consider in the next version.

Actually, the reasoning behind this is that while one is busy, or otherwise, if one doesnt want to take a call from a few ppl but he/she would not want to send a notification sms to all of them. and smtimes to the same person u might not want to send an sms and smtimes u might.. Many ppl I know want this feature especially those for whom sms is quite expensive (e.g. for me an sms is even more expensive than calling up the person for 2 minutes)
I dont know how difficult it would be to implement this.
One possible way would be to check in the registry whenever u miss a call, it would trigger a function to pop up the yes/no kinda dialogue/notification to send an sms to last missed number. (From the way SPB phonesuite works, I think that this is how it implements this).

Both the apps are written using managed code so it will take a while to load.
I am not sure but if u install .net cf 2 on device instead of storage card then it should make some difference.

Hi there,
I was looking around for an app to let you choose different ringtones for contacts on a priority basis.
I found something similar by v3patel, but it didn't allow me to prioritise, e.g. a 'personal' ringtone to take precedence over a 'business' ringrone when a contact is in both categories.
....so I made this app. I hope that it might be useful for others too, do as ever let me know of any bug reports or feature requests.
EDIT: If you were testing v0.1, please upgrade to v0.2 for an important bugfix!
Download Link Here - v0.2
This app requires the .net compact framework on your device. For WM6 this comes pre-installed in ROM, others need to download here
Carlos
=====
Instructions
============
1. Choose a category and a ringtone.
2. Click 'Add to list' to add it to the priority list.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until you've chosen all your desired categories and ringtones.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to order your list into priority; categories at the top take precedence over categories below them.
5. Click 'Set Now' to make the changes.
Troubleshooting
===============
The app assumes that the ringtones are stored in \Windows\Rings. If this is NOT the case, go to the menu and choose 'Set Folder' to point it to a different location. This setting is currently NOT stored (sorry!) but will be in a future release if I get time!
Further help / support
======================
Please go to www.fatattitude.com/software or post in this thread
cool, will try
Good work....
Hey, great work and a good idea...
will try it also (it's too late to tell someone to call me )
Maybe it could be possible to listen to the ringtones before adding in a future release ? Just as input for you....
what does it mean "choice currently not stored" ? Will the changes be made to the categories, but when you restart your app, you can't see it anymore ? I think it is this way, but i'm not really sure....
Anyway, i like it !
Cheers, Peter

No, it just means that your preferences aren't stored, including where you tell the app to look for the ringtones. Your contacts will be set to the new ringtones you ask for and will stay this way, even after a reset.
nice work. will try today. thx

Sorry, I forget to mention that the app requires the .net compact framework 2.0 to be installed, perhaps this is giving you the error. Download link added to first post.

wm6 should have 2.0 by default. at least on official rom. I believe the bape rom should also have it. Anyway, I will try 2.0 out tonite and report later.
has anyone tried this on a WM Treo?

No, please try it out and let us know if possible!
If you just want to test the app, you could always add a contact to a new category, for example, "Test". Then just run the app and assign all contacts in category "Test" to a ringtone. If the contact you changed is successfully updated then the program works for you! If not, no harm done.
Do let us know if you have success.

It is perhaps to do with the recorded version number of your ROM and the settings for my CAB file.
Can you post the exact error message that you are receiving, along with when you are receiving it? Then I can try and help you.
C
It didn't work on my Prophet running WM6.
The program itself works, and assigns the correct ringtone to each category, but when a person calls, the default ringtone that is set in sounds & notification is played instead of the category ringtone assigned.
In each contact's information, the correct ringtone for that category is assigned. But it doesn't play that tone when that person calls.
When I open someone's contact detail and tap the ringtone, the left softkey changes to "play". When I tap that, there's no sound.
However, if I assign that same ringtone manually in the contact details, it plays when I tap "Play"
Hope you understand what I mean...

Thank you - if only all bug reports were that detailed!
Can you confirm that you're running v0.2 of the program? There was a bug in v0.1 that caused this behaviour. (see first post for download link)

Hi carlosp,
Yes, v0.2 works perfectly. Thanx for this app! It really saves us the chore of having to assign a ringtone for each contact individually.
Now, I'm trying to decide if I still need innesoft address book...

No problem - let me know if you have any bug reports or more feature requests. I was thinking perhaps add an 'Any Category' option in the drop down, so that it's possible to unassign ringtones from all contacts in order to clear everything off and start again.
Hi,
something strange happened: I flashed my prophet to Prophet Touch VII ROM (I was on v6 before), and the Tone Manager didn't work.
Ran the program as usual, but after that I got the same problem as described in my post above. The ringtones are assigned to each contact but doesn't play during the incoming call. Exactly the same prob as in v01.
Strange....??? it was working before on my previous ROM....
A request: the folder is not saved but always reverts back to \windows\rings at each opening of the program. I have mine in the SD card... can you make the prog save the SET FOLDER?
Thanx...
EDIT: I re-downloaded the program from your website and re-installed it, and it works! Very strange, maybe the file in my PC got corrupted or something...

i think this is like RINGO but ringo is better coz u can classify also which sms tone u like for individual or group.
I guys
I´ve been searching for similar issues but I wasn´t able to find anything related.
I'm using the Shadow CE , and my voice mail is facing the following issue:
when I type the numbers using the dialpad to access te diferent options given by operator these keys seem to be dead as I'm not able to execute anything inside my voice mail.
E.g. - To hear my messages I need to press 1 which I do but with any effect.
Anyone has faced this before ?
Thanks in advance.
All the best
Pedro
Long tones versus short tones?
Hello ribasnet, you may try to change the keypad tones in the options of your dialer - I'm not running this ROM so I can't check it, but if I remember correctly the dialer defaults to short tones (many automated systems can't 'hear' the short tone) - give it a try and see if it works
Good luck!

.NET CF 3.5 is required.
UPDATE (3/29/10): Version 0.10 Released - See Post 77 for Change Log.
UPDATE (3/11/10): Version 0.9 Released - See Post 67 for Change Log.
UPDATE (3/8/10): Version 0.8 Released - See Post 63 for Change Log
UPDATE (3/3/10): Version 0.7 Released - Only changes are some registry settings that I missed earlier. With this, both Caller ID Announcements and Voice Dialing should work with this installer.
UPDATE (3/3/10): Version 0.5 Released - See Post 55 for Change Log - Device List below updated ... Updated v0.6 with auto start on device boot attached ... If you are using v0.5 (or v0.5_autostart which I screwed up ... sorry), uninstall it and install the v0.6.
Device List (Updated 3/8/10)
Known Working Devices
HTC Titan
HTC RhodiumW (Touch Pro 2)
HTC Rhodium (Tilt 2)
NOT Known Working Devices - If anyone uses a device listed here and my app, please let me know if it works.
HTC HD2 - I think this is similar to the TP2 - Should work, but I need someone to confirm this
Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 - I have no idea ... Does this device use the WIDCOMM Bluetooth stack? Can someone test the latest app?
If you install this app, and have problems, uninstall msvcFix and install "revert_msvcFix.cab"
UPDATE (8/11/09): I have fixed the native app (now referred to as v0.3) and attached. I will leave the v0.1 attached as well.
UPDATE (8/10/09): Sorry, but there is something wrong in the native v0.2 ... I have posted the orig v0.1 in the mean time.
Not sure what devices this effects/fixes, but on my Titan, Voice Command incoming caller ID announcements don't work correctly. The work-around I use is ...
To enable caller ID announcements:
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category to "Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Category to "_Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundsCategories\Ring\initVol to 15
To disable caller ID announcements:
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\TTSAnnounce\Category to "_Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Category to "Ring"
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\SoundsCategories\Ring\initVol to 5
I have written a program to address these "fixes". My program checks the MSVC "Announce incoming caller ID" option, and checks to see if bluetooth is paired and headset service is active. If all these checks pass, I set the "enable" registry settings ... If not, set the "disable" registry settings.
Currently, the default interval is 5 seconds. I intend to make the interval a setting in the registry in the next version. Attached is a CAB install for version 0.3. The CAB will install the EXE to \Program Files\dj13241\ and create a shortcut in \Windows\Startup\ (it will auto-run on device boot). Version 0.1 was written in VB .Net, and took up to ~1.5 MB after running for some time. This version (v0.3) was written entirely in native C and compiled with cegcc-mingw32ce-gcc on Linux, and takes up 32 KB! Quite a memory improvement!
Feedback anyone?
Anyone have any feedback on this? Should I spend the time to improve it? Any feature requests? Anything?

I think I know what the problem is ... I don't have my earpiece with me to test it though. Are you comfortable using a registry editor? If so, please post the values for the following keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway]
"BTAGExtModule" =
"Capability" =
Also, please look in your \Windows\ directory for a file called "vcbthag.dll" ... You will have to check off 'Menu->Show all files' in order to see dll files.
Thank you for the constructive feedback!

I am VERY interested in getting incoming caller ID to announce over BT on my Tilt 2. If you get this, you are officially the ruler of the universe!!!
I'm interested, will give it a try on my HD2
Hi and thanks for all the great info.Please forgive me (newby) to winmo,i installed ms voice commander and installe the Voice Command Announcement Fix and it still wont announnce the caller calling.Has anyone got any insight to the problem.
Thankyou
Sorry, not working on HD2 either
pity.. does not work on xperia x1 either..
I'm on it ...
I have a Touch Pro 2 and with some registry mods (quite a hack job at this point), I got it to the point of announcing Caller ID without playing a ringtone, but it announced from the phone's external speaker and my earpiece played its internal ringer. It looks to me like a timing issue ... VC creates a file \Application Data\Volitle\TTSCallerID.wav which is the caller ID announcement ... I think that the delay involved with creating that file is causing the issue, and by the time the file is created, my earpiece is already ringing with its ringtone.
On another note, my original program is (apparently) dependent on a different Bluetooth stack that the TP2 (which uses the wildcomm stack) ... If anyone knows how to check for a BT headset via native API, I would love to know!
I will be editing the first post when I have some time later tonight ... I will add "known working" and "known not working" phone lists ... Looks like the "not working" list will be longer for now
Thanks for all the feedback so far.
The Tilt 2 also uses the Widcomm BT stack. We've been blaming everything on the Widcomm stack, but I've begun to suspect that the aging MSVC software is really more to blame as it doesn't know how to play nice with newer software. Of course, I remember all of us soundly denouncing MSVC a few years ago about not being very compatible with the MS BT stack either!
I think you are definitely on to something. Yes, the hacks you have may be a bit kludgy but accurate. A suggestion: forget the checks to see if BT enable or not for the time being; leave BT enabled and do all reg changes, etc with the assumption that BT is enabled and connected. Forgive me if that sounds condescending -- I lost all my programming skills about the time Turbo Pascal died, if anyone here even remembers that from the early 80s -- but sometimes an outside view can make a small difference.
Always willing to try any hacks you suggest to see how they work on my stock Tilt 2; feel free to PM fi there's anything I can do to help.
Hi,
I have a TP2 with Stock ROM and have no problems with announcing phone calls, but..
You may already know about the bug when an "unknown caller" calls. VC does three things choosing randomly:
- 1. Does not announce anything, phone does not ring
- 2. does not anonunce anything, phone rings for a sec.
- 3. does announce the LAST CALLER - and this is really annoying, when you think you have a call from a friend or something, and it turns out VC just scammed you badly.
So my question is can you fix at least the 3rd behavior?

So your TP2 announces your incoming caller ID over your BT headset? Really?

I have a wired headset.
Is this thread only about the BT headset bug? Then the title should be modified. It is not really clear from the title/1st post that what announcement fix is this.

Its good to know this info though ... Do you have a BT headset you could try it with? Has anyone else tried with a stock ROM, or is everyone using custom ROMs?
I'm going to dump the stock ROM registry and compare it to what I am running (which is a ROM built from Calkulin's 1.5 Beta Kitchen with a few of my own MODs).
Nope. The device itself gives me enough radiation I don't need more from a bluetooth device

For inspiration on MSVC you could also read my thread
My old Nokia N95 had a feature that announced via the speaker the name of the person making an incoming call (provided name was in contacts). It was not brilliant and it had difficulty with some names (my friend doug sounded more like dog). However it was a good method of screening calls remotely especially if you are on the top a a ladder! Is this feature available on my HTC HD2 (virgin mobile) ?
New to XDA apologies if this has already been covered
I am sure MS Voice command will do that. You can download the cab from here http://www.energyroms.com/Addons/
ms voice command

jeeem, you will be disappointed to note that there are still bugs reported with MSVC, however you can be glad that it will be announcing the respective incoming caller's names / numbers.
If you havn't installed the .cab yet please note 2 things:
First: during installation, you will be prompted (and WARNED!!!) to install the MSVC on your device instead of the storage card. It actually doesn't matter even if you install it on your storage card instead of device, so install it at your desired location. (I prefer to install it on the card as I am extremely miser to save every bit possible, on the device!!!).
Second: After the installtion, you will be prompted with a WARNING saying the installation was UNsuccessful. This is BUG!!!. Ignore it. Restart and enjoy...

couldn't you just make ringtones of their names with a recording software and then assign that ringtone to the appropriate contact?

Jeeem, MSVC does work, and as I mentioned in my last post to you, you have to install in accordingly. However as you mentioned in your reply, it seems you are not able to get it done, which to me it appears you might not be having teh APPROPRIATE VERSION or the correct .CAB file. Should you wish, I can mail the correct working cab on your email.
