Last Caller ID

[dave]

Can anyone post or PM the last release of Caller ID ??
My 1.0 ITA is not consistent, so I would like to try out a more recent release... ITA or WWE are both welcome.
thanks

[tumtum]

version 1.20 may be the last version.

[M4io]

here you go

[dave]

thanks guys, I tried both.
But:
ITA is the same I have (the about window says 1.00)
WWE looks to have dbase compatibility problems with contacts: gives a contact dbase read error

Thanks anyway.

[M4io]

cool, didn't know 1.20 works on Himalaya, but it does as long as you overwrite all the files
Now I can remove Ringtonex :D

[Pentium]

i tried thw WWE version ! but it hard-resets my XDAII 1.66WWE !!!

thanx to the backup!

is there an offical version of Caller ID?

thanx

[oldpoem]

Files and structures changed in 1.20. So if you just run the cab on your device . there will be some files left over from previous versions which didn't got overwrite. They may (or may not) cause problems.

BTW if you don't wanna hard-reset to clear all those files. You have to remove it manually before you install 1.20 cab.

some things in the registry are also no longer needed, by comparing the two cabs i found these things todo:
remove [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA Caller ID\1.14]
remove [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\IA Style\IA_P_Contacts]

thanx :lol:

i will give it a try...

[Pentium]

thanx a lot...

now i have it working here...

but a little problem...

sometimes it forgets the ringing tone and the phone rings as the defualt tone...

my tones are stored on the SD card...

what's the problem?

[tumtum]

I have the same problem.
Now, I've changed the store of picture and ringtone into my device ,not in SD card.

I have found problem in WM2003SE with SD card. Everytime, your device is off and suddenly turn-on ,SD-card cannot be detected.

[Pentium]

i am using ROM 1.72WWE with my XDA2...

i have moved the ringing tones to the internal storage...

it's working until now !

[i3oyi3astos]

CAB wont install, i was running it from the SD card. It tells me that the file is in ROM and cannot be installed.

How do i run the CAB file

[zairyaab]

When I try to install Caller_ID_WWE_RC10.CAB, it says the file is in rom or in use ?? Try Again Or Cancel ??

[ramram]

When I try to install Caller_ID_WWE_RC10.CAB, it says the file is in rom or in use ?? Try Again Or Cancel ??

Bcz the old IA CALLER ID is still running and you didn't delete it files that's why it's working with you.

First of all delete the IA caller Id shortcut from the \WINDOWS\Startup , reboot the ppc, then delete the files manually as it's posted before in this thread.


Good luck..

[Joao_Caldeira]

Following instructions step by step this worked perfectly.

THANKS

[Pentium]

same here!

[rpc]

CAB wont install, i was running it from the SD card. It tells me that the file is in ROM and cannot be installed.

How do i run the CAB file

same problem with me IA_contact can not be replace, but when i copy it to my Extended ROM and run configurator to add it to my config, then hard reset it, it installed properly.

[huy33]

there are two downloads in this forum. Which one should i download? I have an unlocked o2 xda IIs in english.

[M4io]

one is WWE and the other is ITA. Guess :lol:
the WWE is World Wide English : ver 1.20, the other is an old Italian 1.0 I think

[teknophob]

sorry guys, I struggle a little with technical problems. I have upgraded to Sins version and I have the same problem, my incoming caller ID does not work until you answer. Then it shows who rang. I have down loaded the version at the top of this post. But how do i get it to install in my phone?

Thanks
Mark

[rmercado]

8) ...
Unhide/Unlock your extended ROM...
Remove the Old Caller ID (.cab)...
Copy/Paste the latest version...
Hide/Lock the extended ROM..

then Hard reset... :wink:



Cheers,

[M4io]

@rmercado : unless your old callerid cab as the same name as this one, i guess you'd better edit config.txt also.

uninstall old version without hard reset :
remove all the registry keys mentioned above, delete as much files mentioned above as it allows you to(especially WINDOWS\STARTUP\IA_Caller_ID.lnk ), reset, remove the rest of the files.

install new version without hard reset :
copy the cab to your pocketpc, tap on it in PPC file explorer, reset

(I would still recommend to modify your ext rom, even if you don't hard reset. Thus avoiding to do this uninstall/install thing again after any future hard reset)

[mb]

I upgraded Caller ID fine and it's fantastic

BUT if I upgrade my ROM in future will I still have to go through the hassle and pain of registry edits?

Can someone clever come up with an automatic way to delete the files and remove the registry keys?

[i3oyi3astos]

i deleted the old caller_id cab in the extrom and replaced it with the 1.20 version, so that in the event of an involuntary or voluntary hard reset, it will install automatically.

[yajp]

Just installed it! Works great! Thanks to i3oyi3astos!

[steverae]

Tried installing 1.4.11 callerid from a full hard reset, however whenever i try and run the program, it says Unable to initialise contacts database

can anyone help.

I've tryed the registry entries and they don't work.


Is their an english version of this...

[M4io]

@steverae : :?: :?: do you want an old version of Caller id?
the 1411 is an old Italian, the new english 1.20 is posted just next to that one

[steverae]

D'oh

I realised that after several hours trying to get the ita version working..... now have the nice new 1.20 english version on a completely fresh hard resetted xda2...

will wonders ever cease.....

[AdmiralAK]

does 1.2 add the ability to have users have their own ringtones? (i.e. joe rings up as tone1 and jane rings up as tone4)

[i3oyi3astos]

Yup :) so long ringtonex :)

[gotan]

where can i download the file unlock and unhide ext rom?

i downloaded here before but it says " this file won't work on windows mobile 2003."

now where can i download the latest file? tnx

[Yazzon]

I installed caller ID, but where can I find it? There is no shortcut at my MDA II.

[i3oyi3astos]

its the photo contacts, if you notice, you now have the option to assign a ringtone, not just a photo for each contact.

[AdmiralAK]

Hmmm.
There is somethign weird happening.
When I open photocontacts, I get all my contacts from my "contacts" application. When the phone rings, and someone from my list calls, I just get standard caller ID (just the number) - their name does not come up, the image does not come up, the ringtone that is assigned to them does not ring (I hear the default ring).

Any ideas?

[MickeyMiner]

Hi,

With a template I can change the size and position of the image...
I know how to change the font and size of the text, but how the hell :twisted: do I change the position of it on the screen (top/bottom/left/right/center)?
:D

M.

[Cyber-mate]

Yup :) so long ringtonex :)

But isn't true also that it is much ezier with ringtoneX to specify a tone to each group as grouped in your contact database?

With 1.20 you need to group them right from the start :!:

[AdmiralAK]

weird behavior...!
I gave contact1 his photo. Then I gave other contacts their photos. I went to my last contact and she already had a photo. Whose photo? The photo of contact1 ! So I deleted and added her photo. Then went back to contact1 and he had her photo in place of his...weird!

How is it that caller ID thinks that he and she are the same person????

[keithhiap]

not sure you guys encounter this problem?

I am using CallerID 1.2.
Here the steps that i do and realize the bug of synchronization with Outlook 2003 contacts.

1. open Photo contacts from PDA
2. Assign groups (all i can do is assign up to 2 person from the top list of my contacts.)
3. Open my outlook 2003 and check my contacts, none of it is assign with group.
Weird, cant assign group.

1. The only resolution that i have tested out myself is to Hard reset my PDA.
2. Open Outlook 2003, double check and make sure that there is no group assign in the contacts from Outlook 2003.
3. Syn PDA and follow by opening Photo Contacts.

Sometimes, it works.
Sometimes, it fails to work.

Well, to me, not an big issue.

As for assigning Ringtone, i personally will choose RingToneX.
However, it crashes with Microsoft Voice Command, do take note for this.

As you know, Microsoft Voice Command takes about 15 second to load up.
RingToneX also need to load all up all the contacts.

[Hennyb]

Is there anyway to change the size of the caller ID window fonts for all incoming phone calls without assigng a photo contact?

i saw the fonts size in the options from Photo Contacts, but have never mess around with it.

Cause when the pop up display, the screen has enough space to display large font, therefore, not an issue for me.

[keithhiap]

sorry , forget to log on for the above post

[Hennyb]

I tried changing the font size and color in the options of Photo contacts and that does not have any effect on an incoming phone call ID that is not assinged to photo contacts.

It would not be efficient to assign all 500 of my contacts a photo. Any other solution to increase my font size?

[keithhiap]

yeah, i did realize before someone posted.

it wont work. :roll:

that why i dont bother, sometimes, we have to forgo certain bug in order to enjoy having PDA.

:idea:

[bnycastro]

does anyone know how to assign ringtones via outlook categories; it is really hard to assign people one by one. maybe a reg edit or something???

[keithhiap]

so far, i dont see any application build to assign ringtone from Outlook

:shock:

[royemaun]

Hi all,

Can anybody please post the original bitmaps for XDA II here.

Cheers,
royemaun

[Hennyb]

MTux RingtoneX allows ringtones to be assigned to individual numbers or contact or groups. I use it and have no works fine.

Also, Caller2Picture came out with software that will allow synchrnization with MS outlook of contacts photos and ringtones last year but it does not seem to ba available any more.

[keithhiap]

ok, now the thread has become Image.

Probably you want to try on Photo Contacts by PocketX.

Not a bad app at all, only problem is the image dont syn with Outlook.

But i thumbs up with the way they create a very fine way to link the image that you created to your contact.

Example.

Your contact has this name call

Andy.

So when you create Andy's photo, you just need to name it to Andy.
Exactly how you name Andy in your contact.
Dump all the Images that you created, which has the same name as your contacts into Photo Contacts's Photo Directory.

Boom, all the created image has link to your contact.

isnt that fast, except you cant syn with Outlook.
however, you can backup the images that you created.
you can dump the images back when you do a hard reset.

[ajong]

just for info, (Updates) Latest Caller ID is Version 1.20 (Build 18567), it's from file Caller_ID_Magician_Generic_WWE_RC13.

Qtek s100 WWE 1.06.115 (sweden Dangaard) Extended_ROM
MA_Qtek(BrPt)_10600_116_10500_SHIP

you can find on FTP

[mnsouli]

Hey guys,

spent all day trying to make this version works. but it stills have bugs
when your first contact calls,after soft reset, it doesn't shows any picture nor name nor ringtone (the default one is there)
and the next time another person rings it works just fine

i could it make it work just by opening photocontacts.exe and then closing it. but it's irregular.

i finished by making it work so far by copying assigned contacts directly to sim card so caller ID don't have to go through all contacts and search for name

MTUX was working fine but ringwatcher at startup makes pocketpc freeze or take too long to boot (ROM 2.06 WWE)

if you remove ringwatcher from start up and start it manually after every soft reset it works "fine" or almost, because some time you don't get nor the name nor the assigned rigntone with the caller

Voila i wanted to share this and i'm listening for more comments

Peace

[Hustladave]

as i am new to all this technology (it seems y'all are more used to it), i am very very interested in this thread...i would really have a personal sound for each caller.
Now the problem is: i do not understand where i should go and delete or modify the files that i saw (i told you i was a newbie :oops: ). Is there a way to overwrite automatically what needed and to erase what not? I would really apreciate if you could tell me step-by-step what everybody needs to do to have this application working (with no danger of hard resets...i am really scared from it :shock: ...)!!!

Thanks a lot... :D

[opium hk]

Now the problem is: i do not understand where i should go and delete or modify the files that i saw

You need to run the program "File Explorer" that came on your Blue Angel. It will allow you to go through the file hierarchy freely, just like on a desktop.

Hope it helps

[Pc78]

I can confirm that the last caller id (from ROM 1.06 for Qtek S100) do not work good...is there any way to uninstall it without performing a hard reset?...cause I wold like to install the older version... :roll:

Regards.,
Primoz

[conovor]

I have the last version of the caller Id but the caller Id don't start (no process caller ID) and no executable of caller ID on my xda (photo contact is present)

where is the executable of caller ID ?
why the caller ID don't start ?

I have the ROM 2.06.00WWE

any idea ?

[conovor]

in fact, this caller ID work sometimes, but i don't know. it's running when the photo contact is in the background. But most of time, after reboot it's doesn't work. where i can find a old caller id or see if a news one exist ?

thks

[conovor]

this version doesn't work most of the time in my xda....

any idea ?

[yajp]

Same sentiment here... doesn't work right after a soft reset... :(

[yajp]

I tried to look for a solution by experimenting the setting of Services in the registry and found this one:

In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\CallerID], I changed the value of "Order" from A (10d) to 8, just like the setting of other apps...

Caller Id is now working right after a soft-reset... though I am still observing the impact on performance in my device... So far no problems yet...

Hi Jay P,

Is it still running OK on your device after 2 weeks????

[AndyInParadise]

Having trouble installing new version. Have tried to delete files mentioned in an earlier post but it does not let me as they are in use. I have deleted the shortcut in the Startup folder but when I run task manager Caller ID is still running and I am not able to stop it. Any ideas guys!!

Just rename the file that are using. Then install the new Caller ID. Then Soft Reset will do. After that you can delete the file that you rename it.

[yajp]

@BoelShit, yes it is still working smoothly. Even with my colleagues' xda2. :)

[MarcValme]

can anyone tell me or send me a link with the step by step process of replacing caller id 1.17 with 1.2 on the extended rom i have a pda2k

[zorba]

When I try to delete: IA_Caller_ID.exe, IA_P_spCID.dll, and IA_P_Contacts.dll Iget an error that the files are locked. I already removed the IA_P_CallerID link in the startup and I still cannot delete them. Any idea how to stop whatever process is using them?

Regards,

Ray :?

[ajong]

The Newest is Caller ID Version 1.20 (Build 19167), it's from BlueAngel ROM 1.40_Untested.
Just updated on my Xda II, and so far so good... :)

Updated..(II) Caller_ID v1.20 (build 19736)...

Updated..(III) Caller_ID v1.20 (build 20047)...

[spin_x]

actually wat's the different between Caller_ID v1.20 (Build 19736) and CAller id v1.20(Build 17957)? cos i hv the v1.20(Build 17957) in my old ROM v1.03

[Hustladave]

:x
i tried several times to install the 1.20 version following the above mentioned instructions (uninstall manually t he files no longer needed, then install the cab file...but when i run it it comes out this "contact database error"...)!

I don't know what to do...any idea?

Thanks

[kxraw]

Ok let's see if this can help a little :

As I mentioned in a former post,
The main difference between Caller ID 1.1x and 1.2x is the ringtones that can be linked to contact : 1.2 does whereas 1.1 does NOT.

There are several build for this program because of the link that remain between camera.exe (camtra) AND album.exe.

the former IA Style Company were used to calling their apps beginning with "IA_something" this is why many installation conflicted or did not work as it should be.
for example :
"IA_p_contact.exe" but now the main proram is called "photocontact.exe"
the new builts certainly take care of the new names of the apps depending on your ROM (because camera.exe still remain in ROM) BUT Album and CallerID are installable apps.

Be carefull to watch exactly the name of the programs these apps are calling
Just have a look at the main camera.exe with an HEX editor and search for the "IA_something" string.

If you want to install a fully functionnal Suite, you must either "patch" camera.exe and use the latest buil of Album and CallerID

for ROM 1.4x you HAVE TO use latest builts of Album and CallerID (nothing to hack) !!!!

The main improvements of these are :
fom ROM 1.3x (sorry i'm 9090 user) your MUST patch camera.exe AND Album.exe in order to use CallerID 1.2x

have a look at this post :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=19323&highlight=

for registry hack of camera.exe (in order to add "Contact Photo" profile), do the the following :
go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\AppDefSettings\P4,DWORD:E nable and set the Value to 1
This will add a new button in the camera app in order to permit special photo format to assign to contact...

This will only work alltogether ! neither one of this hack nor patch will work by its own...Remember the 3 apps works together.

After this :
CallerID can assign photo and ringtones AND camera will be able o directly create a photo to be link to a contact.

Best Way to install clean :
If you want to upgrade this suite, unlock your extended rom, remove album and caller ID, Hard Reset THEN install latest builts

Summary for CallerID 1.2x :
ROM before 1.3x -> patch solution
ROM after 1.4x nothing to do, just upgrade.

(I hope I have been clear enough and helfull, if it was your question) ;-)
Enjoy !

[Hustladave]

Thanks...it's a little bit clearer now, but i have some questions because i am a total newbie to this kind of things:

- how can i "unlock/lock the extended ROM"?

- i have a ROM 1.66.04 ITA
- Extrom Version: 1.66.154
- Radio Version: 1.10.00

I hope this will help you in helping me out...thanks again...! :D

Hey guys,

when your first contact calls,after soft reset, it doesn't shows any picture nor name nor ringtone (the default one is there)
and the next time another person rings it works just fine


I gave it a couple of soft resets to fix this. If the first person rings and you give it enough time (e.g. 10 seconds), the photo and template load as the phone is ringing (I'm not sure about ringtone as I use Mort Ring to customise ringtones as it supports caller groups using Outlook Contacts).

[GFK1080]

Hey guy, I'm kinda new here so I'm not too sure whats going on a lot but anyways; i bought my phone (HTC Titan) and when i got it the caller id didn't work. it was previously used if that has anything to do with it, but i saw this thread and i decided to try out this CAB and all of the ones on this thread installed fine but when i went to open any of them it gave me this error "Database initialization failed. (f0009859) 997:100:10" i have no clue what that means, but i just want to see who's calling me. The caller id for my sms's works just fine, but i can never see who is actually calling me it only says incoming call. Actually the only one that worked from this thread completely was that Italian one. it installed fin and it opened fine but the only problem is that i can't understand it. so if anyone could give me some help that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
