hmmm i could have sworn i left that space out... oh well. lol

MojoSwag 07-11-2007 04:32 PM

found the problem with the .10 cab. In the registry, at the beginning and end instead of the single apostrophe thingy it should be a quote symbol at the beginning and end. Hope this helps people having trouble!

blazingwolf 07-11-2007 09:16 PM

in the programs u mean? i can add that if youd like... didnt see a reason as the program is mapped to the contact button on the today screen and in the dialer

woods23 07-11-2007 11:22 PM

not sure what i did wrong, v.9 had a nice green Contact Manager link in the menu, when updated to v .10 it is not there at all.......

Kolano 07-11-2007 11:38 PM

Yea, update fixed...

-Corruption of start bar when using fullscreen mode.

-"Favorites" button being stuck as "Back" when returning from favorites.

Boo...

-The app doesn't update when contacts are updated (specifically when contacts are loaded via PIM Backup).

-Fullscreen mode needs a way to exit the application.

-Since the app now defaults to fullscreen mode, one must reset ones phone after updating contacts.

ill see if i can ask him to figure it out

I'd be unlikely to start Contacts Manager from the Programs menu. However, having the shortcut in the Programs list makes it easier to start the program from other applications, such as SPB Pocket Plus.

I have the SPB Pocket Plus task manager, but Contacts Manager doesn't show up in in, or in them Memory control panel.

wowthatisrandom 07-12-2007 01:45 AM

Uploaded new version with shortcut in start\programs ... sorry no pretty icon i dont know how


and i dont know thats wierd i use the HTC X-Button thats free it finds the Contact Manager when its running... i havent used the other products sorry


on another note i just realized he solved the adding new contact.. at the bottom of your list thers a <New Contact> button lets you add a new contact and then updates ur list ;-)

Is there a way to make the program sort by last name? I was able to do this under the old contacts.

yes it is in the ini file...

1. copy your Settings.ini file to your desktop... (located in \Program Files\Contact Manger)
2. open in Notepad
3. look for the lines


Code:

contact_sort_expression=%firstname %lastname
# font used for first line in contact list
contact_font_header=12,bold
contact_header_formatting=%title %firstname %lastname

4.flip them so it looks like


Code:

contact_sort_expression=%lastname %firstname
# font used for first line in contact list
contact_font_header=12,bold
contact_header_formatting=%title %lastname %firstname

5. save and copy back to the directory
6. restart app..


if you want u can also open the ini via something like notepad on the device itself and change it that way

spotnsabby1 07-12-2007 02:58 AM

Perfect!!!!! :) THANK YOU

woods23 07-12-2007 08:44 AM

Thanks for the shortcut, but I 'd really like the green ICON back if you figure that part out, other than that it's a great program...............thanks!


Hahaha the strangest thing, I reinstalled v.9 and then updated again to v.10 and whammo it's back imagine that.........

badwolf 07-12-2007 11:06 AM

im not really sure what your asking me me here? whats the face feature? im sure i can disable it

EDIT***

ICON NOW IN CAB!

badwolf 07-12-2007 02:34 PM

the icon of the missing head... id rather it just be a blue bar....

PPCFreak 07-12-2007 02:46 PM

Like this very much.
Just have a couple of issues.

I got the list to sort by lastname, firstname.
Once I click on the contact and get the details, I can only see 4 fields. Some of my contacts have more than 4 fields. Is there a way to shrink down the fields in the contact details?

Also, would be nice to have control over how the contact header (in the contact details) is displayed (seperate from the way its displayed in the index or main screen). Or have a comma between lastname and firstname.

Thanks.
Brian

alright so heres your options... you can either show all the pictures including the missing ones or none at all...

read a few posts up... where i explained how to change the last name first...

follow those same guidelines but look for this code

Code:

# to hide contact images in list
#show_contact_images_in_list=0

and change it to

Code:

# to hide contact images in list
show_contact_images_in_list=0

that should hide all the pictures...

also for anyone looking to get the top bar back(gives option to close app)...

Code:

#show app in fullscreen
fullscreen=1

change to

Code:

#show app in fullscreen
fullscreen=0

hope that helps


hope trhat helps

badwolf 07-12-2007 04:24 PM

Thanks, but been there done that.... it hides all your pictures and leave the filler heads....

After installing, has anyones phone frozen? I think it doesn't play too well if you use a program like MemMaid to reclaim RAM and then try to open it back up again...

Yeah I was running it yesterday...and it worked for about 30 seconds. Totally froze up my 700wx. Wouldn't display any of my contacts, wouldn't load completely, etc. Would freeze my phone after a soft reset and without launching the program.

I'll wait till the bugs get worked out more and try it again.

late,
Coz

MojoSwag 07-12-2007 05:39 PM

It did me the same way. I thought it was SPB Diary that it wasn't getting along with. I had to uninstall and then I reinstalled the new cab in the first post and now it works with no problems. Try that Coz and it should work.

jamesus 07-12-2007 05:44 PM

I installed the latest cab and my phone is turning to hell in a hand basket...time to uninstall...too bad. That is a cool little program...

MojoSwag 07-12-2007 05:52 PM

When I installed the .9 cab, I had to do a hard reset. But after cleaning out a bunch of crap and putting the new cab on, it works flawlessly for me now. Even gives me the option to email which is cool!

blazingwolf 07-12-2007 06:01 PM

1 problem I have noticed is that sometimes the top section is cut off. Instead of seeing "abc" down the left side of the screen it starts with "cde". The first contact will also be cut off. A soft reset fixs it but it is still a bug.

CozBoogie 07-12-2007 06:22 PM

all right...I'll try this little beasty out again and hope it doesn't give me fits like it did yesterday.

late,
Coz

EDIT: Got it loaded and up and running. Got my favorites identified. Mapped it to a button. First copuple of runs everything worked out good. Now when I open it the top bar still shows and I'm unable to get higher than "d".

CozBoogie 07-12-2007 07:35 PM

I'm using it on my 700wx.

late,

blazingwolf 07-12-2007 07:37 PM

Coz,

soft reset. It fixes this for awhile.

Hanniballs 07-12-2007 07:55 PM

Xxsrt4xX 07-13-2007 02:37 AM

I've been using this and figured out the bugs and how to navigate around them.....at least on my 700Wx. :D Anyway, when you initially launch the program, do not "ok" or "x" out of the program.....utilize the "hide" funcation, right softkey on the 700. By doing this, the program will not lock up the phone and you'll always be able to access it. Also, it's not formatted to well for 240x240. For this screen size, the 0.9 .cab works best. With the new skinnable version .cab, you lose the top half of your menu. Other than these minor bugs, I like it.

There is a line in Settings.ini to set the device screen height. Folks having trouble on 240x240 screens might want to try playing with that.

Mogul and it locks up if I hide the program and then try to relaunch it.

well thats one i wasnt expecting to see lol... im running the mogul too and i cant get mine to lock up lol... the only thing it randomly does is bring te top bar back... but i cant put my finger on whats causing that one either

sorry jamesus... try unistall and reinstall perhaps?

jamesus 07-13-2007 11:37 AM

I'm wondering if it is because I use the MemMaid and SK Tools reclaim RAM apps. I think someone posted that it is problematic when you click ok or try to exit the program without using the hide button...

Anyways, I'm reinstalling and will try to get it to lock up...hopefully I fail!

CozBoogie 07-13-2007 11:57 AM

All seems good so far with this running on my 700wx.

Hey Wow, I've been playing around with the settings file a bit. Is there some sort of guide or wiki out there that can assist with the tweaks? I went to xda but there are like 50 pages of comments on this app. Went to the devs site and there's not much there yet.

I want to increase the size of the pics in my contacts when I select a specific contact. I see a full pic in the "show all" menu. But when I select
a specific contact I only see about 1/2 the image. Which string setting do I adjust?

Thanks.


late,
Coz

The skin images are bit bigger than they need to be, as they were all saved as 32bit PNGs. All except for "Detail_BG.png" can be saved as 8bit with no loss, and since transparency isn't used "Detail_BG.png" can be saved as 24bit. Doing so saves 30k. Not much in the end, but a number of folks here are usually interested in saving every byte they can. The attachment below contains the revised images.

Also. if the author can work out the problems with orientation changes this will really rock.
