Hi everyone.
I think it's the right time to open a new thread for iContact. Version 0.6 and it's source code are out. New in 0.6 are:
simple favorites management. Sliding a contact from left to right brings a plus sign. It's a little tricky at first, but i got used to it. Tapping on the plus sign tags a contact as favorite. If the contact is already favorite, you can unfavorite it (does that word exist?
Pushing "Right" on the D-pad brings the favorites window. Pushing "Left" brings "all contacts" window.
"mobile" and "work" numbers have "sms" option. Tapping it will bring new sms window.
"email" option works if you have configured email account, and have it entered in iContact settings file.
D-pad navigation is fully supported in contact details. Left key brings you back to contact list, while Right key brings you "new sms dialog" if currently selected number has sms option.
settings.ini file has been added. It must reside in the same directory as iContact.exe. You can setup your email account in there and you can also setup strings used throughout the app ("mobile", "sms", "ABC" etc ...)
other small fixes
There will probably be bugs, as always. However, this time I've included the source code. I encourage anyone interested and skilled to use the source code. It's in best interest for the whole community if iContact continues to evolve. And even faster than it has until now.
I know the code is the mess, so i don't need to be reminded of that fact X).
Other reason for releasing source code is that i really have no free time to develop this app. I'm looking forward to see how this app will evolve in hands of skilled programmers. iContact satisfies MY needs, and more, but i realize there are people that have different needs. So, go ahead, grab the source and good luck.
The source code released doesn't have a specific license attached. However, I'd suggest anyone who will use it to consider returning something to the community. That is something that makes a good community that good.
Thank you all for you support and comments. I hope this is best for community.
Take care,
larna
Very classy move. Well done!
I Love this program, keep up the good work!
*Edit*: for some reason this version isn't working for me. I have the settings.ini in the same folder and for some reason when I click on the prog it doesn't open up.
thank you very much
Thanks larna, using your app for contacts since its birth.
Thats a good move to open source.
thank you so much for your great work !
keep going !
Thanks larna
most popular application...
Waht about VGA ?
also the cab installer ?
Create CAB File ? Thankyou
can you modify it so that when we type in a letter, it will go to the nearest match. for example, if we have 15 contacts with the the letter H, I would love it if we press the letter on our keypad and it will go to the nearest one.
Homer Simpson
Homer Tux
Homer Zebra
Homer Zeeja
if I type in zeb, it will bring up Homer Zebra as my nearest match...I know that I can scroll to the name...
iContacts v0.6.cab
Here is the installer cab with right soft key mapped to iContact
one question for everyone who is going to continue this great app.
could someone please make the colors customizable?
thanks!
Thanks, Thanks, Thanks
Beautiful post, beautiful application.
Keep the best.
btw i also found a little bug, it is possible to add the add contact to favorites, when this is done there is and alphabetic list in your favorites.

Whoah, i totally forgot about "Add new contact" button. That shouldn't be to hard to fix. Anyone up to it?
Thx for comments, and thanks for the cab file phouki.

Great job! Tanks!
Thanks very, very much for releasing the source!
Just trying to get into WM coding at the moment, one of the things I wanted to do was v similar to iContacts, you just saved me a load of work!
What I want is:
* iContacts, but as a today screen item
* Finger scroll still works as an ultimatelaunch face - remove left and right gesture from iContacts if needs be.
* Option to only display contacts in certain categories - alternative to left+right gesture to do favorites
* Pictures by contact names where available.
Of course, if I manage to get it working, I will release back to everybody
Good luck evilc, i know you'll need it (luck that is) .

the sms option works nicely opening up text messaging and starting a new message to that person but email (poutlook) does not work. It opens up poutlook and thats it. It shoudl open and start a new email to that address. how can this be done? what exactly needs to be changed in the settings.ini file with the email account (using just activesync for push)

I must admit i am not entirely sure how email button should function.
When i open POutlook it displays "Select an Account" window. If you have email account setup it should display on that window. Name of the account is listed in bigger font size, and email address is listed in smaller font size.
You should enter email account name in settings ini file:
;E-mail account name from pocket outlook
email_account=email_account_name
However, as i said, there may be the cases where such thing may not work and i can't help you then.

Hey Fellows,
SendReceiveAll is just a small program that i created for my own use. In default Windows Mobile client, if you have multiple email accounts and they are set to manual download, like it is with me, While checking mail you need to go to each account and click send and receive. This is a bit tedious.
SO this program, which is a small, no-gui, .net cf app does so. It calls send and receive for all outlook email accounts. This way you can tap it once and then wait for your emails to finish loading at their own pace.
Its a very simple start and i haven't done anything profound with it. Its just an idea that clicked me.
Suggestions and Ideas are welcome from all of you
Thanks!
UPDATE : Here is the link to cab file for this utility. I haven't tested it so cant say about how reliable it is. Thanks to post&telecommunications to make and post it
SendRecieveAll v.1 Cab File
PS: It seems that this doesn't works if you have multiple IMAP accounts. The problem I think happens because IMAP accounts cannot be updated in "Background, Asynchronously". So If thats the case with you, I am sorry, I don't have any solutions right now. I will see if anything can be done about it
Thanks. Works like a charm
Glad to know that you found it useful
Yeah, I've found it a bit tricky to check all my accounts.
For further development, is it possible that you can implement a progressbar that shows, when an account is ready and maybe a dialog that shows how many emails are downloaded per account?
Yeah, I was also having these things in my mind right at the time of developing this version and i am working on these. Actually the method i use to call the sync facility of messaging application is not synchronous , ie. my app doesnt get to know when did the messaging app finished. It gets control back immediately. So i'll have to find a better way to do that. Thanks for the suggestion
Manilla sync data
Thanks for the progy! It would be nice to have this integrate with the Manila "Sync Data" button under settings, Currently this only works for syncing Activesync, but the description does say "and Internet data"
Is any software for Send only?
Is any application for Pocket Outlook, when I want only Send (not Send and Receive)?
Nice application - some suggestions
Great little application! I’ve been wanting something like this for ages – I didn’t want to set my mail accounts to send and receive every 10 or 30 minutes, I wanted them to sync when I picked up the phone and pressed a button – now I can do it without going to my gmail, yahoo, hotmail and Exchange Server pages separately!
As others have pointed out – having something that said mail account 1 of 4 synchronising would be good for progress – at the moment I don’t know whether I’ve got no emails or it hasn’t worked correctly.
If you are going to end up adding options to this, then auto disconnecting the data connection when all mail boxes are synchronised would save me another button press!
Making it work directly from send/receive in Manila is a great suggestion from ‘anothersmith’ – in the mean time I can’t get it to assign to the programs tab in Manila or via Hbutton – it doesn’t pick it up…..?
Good work.
Splelling errror!!
The reason I'm struggling to get the Hbutton to assign via the registry is that the .exe file is spelt incorrectly!
You've got it as SendRecieveAll.exe
Hbutton thread that shows registy values if anyone wants it for now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306794&page=2
Usefull application...thanks lot..
By the way ...i got problem coz im use diferent network (3g ,home and wifi)..i should sett the smtp manually before clickthis
great effort
Hi Friends,
Sorry for delay in response i was out of town Thanks for all the great responses. So i guess these are the changes i should try to implement :
1. Visual Notification of the progress and optional data disconnection at the end.
2. Integration with Manilla Sync.
3. Option to send only.
@brandall: If you add a sound to "New Email" notification in Start>Settings>Sounds and Notifications applet, you will recieve a standard notification from the messaging app about the newly recieved emails automatically. I get it on my phone.
@all: Since i only have a HTC Gene at my disposal, i cannot experiment with TouchFlo 3D features. I guess you people are talking about the sync button on tf3d, right? So can anybody tell me the integration procedure for touchflo 3d, i mean the registry keys and all.
I have 3 IMAP accounts, but it only sends/receive the last one
By the way, your app is a great idea!
I have exactly the same. 6 IMAP and it sends / receives only the last one.
Idea is great. Please correct the problem.
Oh, i didn't test it on imap, and i just returned from a long tour. I will look into it asap.
I think that the solution is to make the application aware of the synchronization status on outlook, which apparently can't send and receive from different IMAP accounts at the same time..
But it's only a personal hypothesis since I don't have the foggiest idea of how to program.
it will be greate to make gui with send/recive all... sen all ... recive alll
Hi Great app
one question, can run background? or hiden whith screen off?
i use another app to trigger the send/recieve mail by sms.
thanks
Hey Krazy - any update on this?
The original version I have still gets used every day for me!
great work however I removed .net due to memory restrictions on my xv6700 is there anyway to get the source so we can try to get this recompiled in c that way all devices could use your wonderful program. thank u again for listening
thank you for this wonderful piece of work.
By default WM shows your contacts last name first. You can set a contact to show first name first by editing the 'File as' field of that contact. (Click on 'more' in the edit contact page if you can't find this option).
In effect, the 'file as' field doesn't change the order of last/first name but allows you to file the contact under any (nick)name you like. But if you fill in the first and then the last name of your contacts, it has the same effect as changing the order of names would.
A program called Contact Changer automatically updates the 'file as' field of all of your existing contacts, as you can read in this thread.
You could probably schedule the program to run periodically, using scheduling software like G-alarm.
Google Sync interferes with name order
Google Sync changes the 'file as' field back to last name, first name. See this thread.
First name first in contacts Windows Mobile
Thanks for the GREAT program!!!
This is awesome. Getting ready to try it. I was getting tired of manually going in and making the changes each time I flashed a new rom. Will post results back in a bit.
Exactly what I needed, simple program, works perfectly!
Great little app
This is what I was looking for. I know Win 6.5 is old but I ordered new HTC HD2, got it 3 days ago and still it has Win 6.5. So this little app saved lots of my time
Thanks Buzink, that's a great little app!!
Just found this little app it synces your Tasks with google calendar.
Just in case backup your tasks before using it.

I don't know the developer either but yes it works. It synchronizes tasks both ways and basically it reads task categories from your mobile and transfer all your task from a category to newly created sub-category in your gmail task window. So if you have for a example a taks called "change oil" with category "Car", the app will create a category "Car" in your gmail -calendar task window and there you will find all your tasks with category car. Unfortunately you can only view one category at a time in your calendar, so if you want to view all tasks from category for example "business" you will have to switch it from category "car" to category "business"in g- calendar. And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile, unless i edit it manually which is kind of pain in the ass. Try it for yourself and see how it works for you.
cheers
Thank you!!

Your welcome.
Let me know if you also have this problem in your calendar:
"And that is kind of issue for me because whenever i switch from one category in gmail calendar to other,(change of categories has to be confirmed with left mouse button or enter) gmail-calendar adds "space" to the name of a first task on the list and unfortunately it's synchronized like that...with that annoying space to my mobile"
Maybe i'm doing something wrong.
Also it synchronizes all the past(completed?) tasks from your device so it might take a while.
Hi
Hi guys, just wanted to mention that I'm the author of this app, so if you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to contact me
I'll be monitoring this thread, and can also be contacted on nilsnett at gmail dot com.
Trying it
I am trying the program
I am not experiencing fo now the space in front of the tasks, maybe because I am trying a recent version?
It's not clear to me if and how I can have automatic syncing. Do I do it manually?

The space in front is related to an issue with the way Google Calendar are handling creation of task groups, not the GogTasks app, as arturo points out.
I recommend you guys work with the task list from a different web interface - like for instance the one at http://mail.google.com/tasks/ig or the iGoogle tasks plugin.
With regards to automatic syncing, it does not support that as of yet. I'm planning that option for a future release thought
Unable to Synchronise personal task account
FANTASTIC application.
Unfortunately although it installs correctly and shows all my local
tasks - it refuses to synchronise.
I get the following error:
Communication Error: GTL Cookie Not Set.
With a whole lot of error code afterwards.
I have tried installing to storage card and locally.
I have tried re-booting the device.
I am running a UK HTC HD2 with:
WinMo 6.5
ROM 1.66 WWE
Manila 2.5.1921
C0okies Home Tab 1.8.5
Thank you for your help in advance - I am a heavy user of Google Tasks
and it would be GREAT to be able to synchronise on my phone.
Communication Error: GTL Cookie Not Set
Unfortunately, Got the same problem as above..
I'm working on the problem... I have a suspicion it is related to the fact that Google redirects you to a local server as a part of the authentication process (from www.google.com to i.e. www.google.co.uk) and that that server produces sligthly different output or cookies than the one I'm testing against. I'll see if I can force google to go to a specific server.
Just to be sure.. If one of you please could test GogTasks v1.1 that would be great. I just want to rule out it's not an error I introduced in v2.0 or 2.1. You can get the version from www.gogtasks.com
Works on Samsung sch-i910 on Verizon USA.
Sync on startup and on demand works well. Auto sync would be the best, but it would be useful if, when you close it, it would notify you that a task has been edited without being synced.
Nicely done, I've been hoping for something like this. Hope Google doesn't break it.
I think I am using v. 1.1 and it syncs, even if sometimes it refuses to.
How can I check the Gogtasks version I have (I don't remember which one I installed...)?

Plug your device to your computer, copy the following file from the device to your PC: \program files\gogtasks\MobileEntities.dll. Right-click on the copy of the file and check Properties>Details>Product version. The two first numbers indicate major/minor version.

Hi all,
first, I am not a developer so I can't do it for myself but I know that here it's the best place to ask this.
As a lot of us I linked all my contacts to FB profiles with the old 1.5 stock rom. Sense wrote a note on the contact with a tag that, even when changing phone or rom, relink the prifile to the contact.
For example like this:
<sn>id:1538330411/friendof:1296683600</sn>
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It's not possible to do a script or integrate in the roms something thant do this not only for sense?
Thanks!
+1 for this
Requested this on a danish forum, but no replies!
+1 pretty please
Well.. as this is a Sense-feature, i do not think that AOSP works the same way...
BUT: On cyanogen roms (don't know if it's the same for AOSP), you can do the linking as well.. but a bit more complicated..
First: you will have to do this with every contact.
Be sure to have a facebook-/twitter-version that makes you able to sync to contacts.
Then go to contacts, find a contact you want to link press it (hold it down) and press Edit contact.
When the new window opens press menu -> Join (it's like this image: http://powerforum.dk/files//e16_1_3_567.jpg - just without the long part at the bottom, In Danish it's called "Føj til")
Then search for your facebook/twitter-contact, if it isn't listed already, press it, and press Done to save
Im using froydvillian and so long as you have a version of facebook as said above you do have a join option in the edit contact screen. Most of the time this is synced automatically if the phonebook names match the facebook names. There's the odd few where you have to correct them.
Also if you want to use the latest synced profile picture from facebook, make sure you delete the contact icon (if there is a picture within the edit contact screen) as this is synced from google contacts and over rides the picture from facebook.
I know that i can link them in froyd too but, as I have done it before with sense, I don't want to do this. The index on the contact is already there so i think that an automatic way is easily makeable...

Yes it is "makeable" - and it has already been made! That's the point! Why create it again? The facebook app allows you to sync on ASOP rom's - why create another app which allows you to do the same thing?
I've been searching all over and can't seem to find a suitable app for this.
A family member has jumped from an endless parade of dumbphones to an Android based smartphone. Got all setup with a Google account and then I sat for about an hour or so manually entering names and numbers into Google Contacts, so they'll sync all nice and easily to the phone.
Now, no matter how I try to explain it, she doesn't quite get that if you open the contacts list on the phone and select a name, it presents you with all configured numbers, home, cell, work, etc, which you then just tap one to call.
No, she'd rather do extra work and create a separate contact, one for each possible number. "So that it looks like it used to...."
"Mr Contact One (home)"
555-555-5555
"Mr Contact One (cell)"
555-111-5555
"Mr Contact One (work"
555-222-5555
So, does anyone know of a contacts app that displays all numbers in an auto-expanded list? Sort of like...
"Mr Contact One"
\_555-555-5555 (home)
555-111-5555 (cell)
555-222-5555 (work)
