iCaller - simple CallerID app - alpha version 0.1.0.3

[truburt]

iCaller v0.1.0.3 alpha

Simple CallerID application which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.

Currently, it is an alpha version, which means that it may contain bugs and do not work correctly on some devices. Please give me the feedback, I'll be fixing issues.

You may get it also at my new home site (truburt.net)

Features:

- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML (using system HTMLView control, thanks for idea goes to mrproper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426391))

ToDo:

- Screen lock functionality
- Speed improvements
- Bugfixing

Instructions:

- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini - it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from 'Phone - Incoming...' to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window
- Launch iCaller.exe

For detailed instructions refer to readme.html

Note!

Stop and restart iCaller each time you modify the settings.ini file!

Thanks will test with manila about time just a simple fullscreen caller :)

Does not work with manila 2D as the manila caller id cuts Icaller out also the call delay is much worse on my 5-6 times before ring is herd ?

Haven't tested with Manila yet. Probably it will require modifying sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle options in settings.ini to properly hide Manila CallerID. I'll investigate the delay issue too. Thanks for the feedback!

mmh, this is a feature that is build in s2u2 allready (runnes on any device, fullscreen), so where is the different if this is ready?
So this might only be usefull if there is really someone out there who does not use s2u2 ;), (maybe throttlelock users)

In fact, I've installed S2U2 and uninstalled it two days after, didn't like the weight and functional overload. So it's up to users to decide :)

Not to forget that iCaller works usefully on Smartphones whereas I, for one, have never gotten anything working with S2U2 on a Smartphone. Plus it's lightweight and since you're using the HTMLViewer that means it's also pretty configurable.

I've got a few ideas myself on themes for it...!

I assume you can put this in the startup drawer/folder or put a .lnk to it there to start this everytime the phone starts?

You say its customizable with graphics..Is this a whole skin/theme ability or just replacing already existing files ?
And is it possible to have gfx for tapped state as well ? And transparent PNG files ?
If so, I would be really interested in skinning it (once its stable and fast ^^).

And, maybe I get this wrong but what do you mean by "screen lock functionality" ?? Sounds like S2U2 :D

regards,
Martin

[bluemetalaxe]

mmh, its lightwight, of course because it has not much functions, so wait two weeks and we will see because it seems that there is a lock function coming too ;)
The other thing is that you need this and a screenlocker application and a volume control application and and and. with s2u2 you can disable parts of programm. Just my thoughts about another calleer iD.
But maybe usefull for non touch devices or other lockers, as i said.

hey Schmidler, Oesterreich gehoert wieder zu Deutschland ;) *kleiner Spass aus Bayern

[vgandoff]

Running it on ATT Tilt, stock 6.1 rom, with HTC Home Plugin. Works great so far. I like the HTML layout, it can be customized quite easily.

I have been looking for something like this for a while now, I'll test some more and report back.

[m.schmidler]

yes, S2U2 already got a lot of functionality, but its true that it´s memory intesive.

[S.V.I]

athis is exactly what I have been looking for for a long time!!!
огромное спасибо!

Going to try on my wizard to see how it works. hopefuly it will rescale my outlook contact photos to something more reasonable.


edit:
Here is a smaller picture for the no caller id.
it is saved as a 2color png in 8bits
weighs less than a kb as oposed to the 7kb in the one you posted.
(This should make a lot the difference with speed as well)

I'm not using S2U2 or ThrottleLock, and I do find this application could be very useful.

i have to agree with you.. S2U2 is heavy and pointless for some people. i don't use it and nor need it. I'll be using iCaller, no doubt about it.
thanks

[S.V.I]

I'm not using S2U2 or ThrottleLock, and I do find this application could be very useful.

I think that the big difference is that it is so lightweight.
You can have as many pictures as you want for your people on storage card without making PIMVOL as huge as mine (1.5mb) and only for few contacts!
can you immagine if I had pictures for ALL of my 200+ contacts??? that would probably add up to 5mb!:eek:

[lsherif]

Hi Burt,
Installed on my HTC Touch on program files , but still getting the small screen with the picture on the background.
How do i get rid of the small old screen showing the number & get only the new full screen.

thx.

[S.V.I]

here is what happened on my wizard:
installed ran testcalled from a friends phone.

at the top of the screen I got 3 pictures (same ones from my outlook. under it the blue screen. under that the standard windows mobile bubble.

I think that there needs to be some kind of a scaling engine for outlook photos. at least double size. and the background needs to change from the scarry blue to a black or very dark grey.

looking forward to an update. thanks for trying to tackle a problem that many cant seem to care about :)

What is the language of your WinMobile system? You need to check what are the sSysCallerWndTitle and sSysCallerWndClass options in settings.ini file. sSysCallerWndTitle should contain exactly the name of old Incoming Call screen.

Yep, for some reason HTMLView doesn't show background image correctly if it is set to no-repeat. So it has repeat-x for now. I'm fighting this problem, have some progress.

I'll tune the skin too :)

[kwoodall]

TB,

I tried the new version last night and it's not working properly anymore. When a call comes in the iCaller screen briefly flashes up but then it goes back to the default caller ID screen. My titlebar says Phone - Incoming without the ... and I then edited settings.ini accordingly, but it still doesn't work.

Ideas?

I have a Samsung i760 and have the same problem. The default callerID program still appears in the foreground, while icaller shows in the background.

(edit: fixed with a restart of the app)

Do you plan to have the pictures pull from the outlook settings?

It does pull them from your Contact's Outlook information. It's an option to have it use them stored on your storage card.

It's explained in the Readme.html file:

iCaller looks for contact picture in the following order:



First look into Pictures Folder for an image file which name equals to the caller number, e.g. '7468374.jpg'
If no picture found, look into Pictures Folder for an image file which name equals to the caller name, e.g. 'John, Smith.jpg'
If still no picture, try to get picture from Pocket Outlook database

I also get 3 small thumbnail sized pictured in a row with blue under it ,
and still the incoming call with same small picture on it..

thanks

[kwoodall]

I'm not sure if I understand some of the info in the readme -- can you get the current colors of the theme the phone itself is using so you can design a theme for iCaller that bases it's colors from what the rest of the phone is using?

I tried every versions of S2u2 from start version.
It 's very good caller id function but since I 've got more than 2500 contacts with I think more than 100 contacts with picture. Then, sometimes it freeze my Touch Dual when someone calls. my pim file 's size is 13 mb.

Averagely, about 5 or 6 times a day. So, I can't stand.
Now, I m using caller id function in Inesoft Phone 4.1. It's working fine and also skinnable. Only one problem is it's take about 3-4 mins on initializing at startup.

I hope this skinable iCaller will be worth to try.

[nir36]

aight... burt... iCaller works great, i managed to move stuff around and get a full ID screen with no Dialog from the original dialer and with info on the caller.

the only problems are, that if the picture is not big enough it'll tile it instead of centering it... and that it doesn't receive black as a color and makes it transparent so the picture looks really strange.


other than that it's perfect.. and lightweight.
thx

a tip
after changing the settings.ini file you need to restart the app for it to receive the changes.

[Timb320]

OK I need to know what exactly is the Manila (TouchFlo3D) sSysCallerWndClass and sSysCallerWndTitle for Callerid? The reason why I ask is because I'm playing with some small code to hide the Manila Caller ID on my TP so my 3rd party CallerID soft is the only one showing. :)

Sorry I think this is usefull info I cant seem to find anywhare and have tried various Class Titles to include "Phone - Icoming".

[joshrys]

a tip

You sir are a genius... :) or I am an idiot, either one. That fixed the issue of the old callerID showing up in front.

Q: how about a semi transparent box behind the caller information? Right now if a person's picture has white in it, the text is hard to read. Perhaps a darker semitransparent box behind the info would help out? I'm sure it can be done in the html, can someone point me in the right direction?

[nir36]

dude.. i'm certainly not a genius (*hint hint*.. j/k) , but nowadays some of the apps just update automatically.. so restarting the app isn't always a trivial thing to do.
i agree with the need of a semitransparent box.

Hi Burt,

language is english, & here are my settings :

; WNDNAME of default dialer
sDefDialerTitle = Phone - Incoming...

; Language
sLanguage = english

; Theme
sTheme = default

; Hide system default 'Incoming Call' window
sHideSysCallerWnd = yes

; WNDCLASS of default dialer
sSysCallerWndClass = Dialog

; WNDNAME of default dialer
sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming...

; Use alternative call control (will not emulate Talk and End key press)
sAltCallControl = no

; Show notification when iCaller has been started
sShowStartNotification = yes

; Name of folder where contact pictures are located
sPicturesFolder = Caller Pictures

; If yes, will look for picture folder named above on first Storage Card
sPicturesOnStorage = yes

; WNDNAME of default dialer
sDefDialerTitle = Phone - Incoming...

[joshrys]

does your old windows actually have the "..." at the end? mine didn't, once i took those off it works properly...

on another note, icaller was acting very strange yesterday. When my brother called, it showed his picture, and number, but displayed his name as "Unknown". His name is entered correctly in contacts, has unknown nowhere in his information.
Then on every other call I received last night, no picture would show up, only the answer/ignore bar, so therefore no name or number could be seen.

[eazy2001x]

I cant seem to get this to work well on my Diamond Pro.. The images don’t resize to the screen and it will not stop the stock caller ID from coming up.. I changed the name in the settings.ini and still nothing. It would also be nice to have buttons to accept and deny calls like the stock screen.

[gregy1403]

Does iCaller replace deafult caller?

[ericizzy1]

anyone have it working on a 320x320 screen?

[vgandoff]

I've been using this app for a couple of days now. One issue to report:

The caller name does not get displayed, it always comes in as Unknown. The caller phone number is displayed, as well as the other 2 lines of text bellow the phone number. The picture is displayed properly, and it looks great.

Since most of m incoming callers don't have pics in the outlook database, it presents a problem, since no name is pulled from the outlook contacts.

I remember S2U2 had a similar issue in its early days, but it got fixed.

This app has great potential!

Those of you having problems with default Incoming Call pop-up, please try attached update. It will log all existing windows to iCaller.log file, so you could check what window titles are and set correct values in settings.ini.

Thanks!

I've prepared a test build which generates a log file with some useful information. Could you please try it and check if the problem still exists? Send me the iCaller.log file then.

Usage:
1. Run iCaller
2. Receive some incoming calls
3. Stop iCaller
4. Copy iCaller.log to your PC and send it to me

Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the log!

First of all, you have
sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming...
in your settings.ini, while on your device default window has 'Phone - Incoming' title, without the dots. Please change it to
sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming
and restart iCaller.

Secondly, I'm wondering if a standard Icoming Call window on Smartphones is full-screen or not? May I see a screenshot of an incoming call, cause I'm not able to make cellular emulator work with smartphone emulator yet.

Actually I did have it the way you suggested already. See?

; Language
sLanguage = english

; Theme
sTheme = default

; WNDCLASS of default dialer
sDefDialerClass = Dialog

; WNDNAME of default dialer
sDefDialerTitle = Phone - Incoming

; Use alternative call control (will not emulate Talk and End key press)
sAltCallControl = no

; Show notification when iCaller has been started
sShowStartNotification = yes

Also, when I start iCaller there is no notification of it starting either.

Smartphone caller id screens (outgoing, during, and incoming) are all full screen with the exception of the top and bottom bars. I can't attach an example right now because I've got the wrong phonecanvas installed on my device. However your original alpha/beta did work. The version prior to this at least flashed up the iCaller screen briefly.

burt, any idea on how to make the pictures center instead of multiply?

[truburt]

; WNDCLASS of default dialer

; WNDNAME of default dialer
sDefDialerTitle = Phone - Incoming

It should be sSysCallerWndTitle, not sDefDialerTitle since 0.1.0.2. Sorry for that inconvenience, I've changed names of some settings in settings.ini. After you put it right, it will hopefully work.

[truburt]

burt, any idea on how to make the pictures center instead of multiply?

I'm working on it... There is a strange bug with HTMLView, where bg image just disappears when background-repeat: no-repeat is set. A workaround is to create two side rows (left and right) with a solid color background, which will cut the picture by sides.

[nir36]

i'll try it. thanks

[Genius2000]

This is my log file, it failed only the first call out of 3, it showed the standard incoming call window.

As far as I can see, system Incoming Call window is called 'Telefono - In arrivo' in your system. Try to set
sSysCallerWndTitle = Telefono - In arrivo

Thanks for your reply, but as fa I can see, system incoming call window is called "Chiamata vocale in entrata", alternated with "3G TIM" (TIM is my local operator), so I setted settings.ini as per your instructions:
sSysCallerWndTitle = Chiamata vocale in entrata

By the way it works the most of times, only random calls, often the first of the day, I see the standard window.

That's strange, because I see the following in the log:
Looking for std Incoming Call window: Dialog, Chiamata vocale in entrata
Found: 0x0
Which means that iCaller haven't find system Incoming Call dialog.

At the same time, there is a "Telefono - In arrivo" dialog window among active windows on your device.

Could you try 'sSysCallerWndTitle = Telefono - In arrivo' option and tell me what happens then?

Do you need to disable or to hide the Answer/Ignore bar? If disable to avoid accidental press, then wait for Screen Lock function in iCaller. If hide, then for now it's not possible.

It's not working as nicely as before. Notyay!

It takes up to two rings (my default ring is a phone ring) before the actual image displays. I instantly get the Answer/Ignore menubar at the bottom though.

Same here, except that the callerID picture did not show up until about the sixth ring...

Really like the app, but will wait for further development.

[nir36]

burt, just for a feedback..
it works great, i changed the HTML code and it fits the settings..
i also put a dir with named pictures exactly 240x320 on my storage card and it reads it well.
also only takes like 200kb of memory.

wonderful application..

on thing i'd like to know... is if there's a way to put a half transparent background (like in S2U2) for the writing and limit the picture to not appear under the writing so the face isn't covered. this would make the writing much easier to read.

[addicus]

I've been waiting for a light weight program like this for nearly 2 years. I will surely be following the development process.

[gregy1403]

HI

I have installed iCaller (removed S2uS) and now the situation is like this.

When call comes i see 3 same pictures at the top and in the bottom i see caller name .. no buttons just at the bottom Answer on the left and .... dunno :) on the right.

Here's my caller.log.

Thank you truburt

you should resize your pictures to fit the screen. right now it tiles the pictures and duplicates them instead of centering.

[FoneBone]

Here is my iCaller.log. Please take a look at the second call in it.
It took up to six rings, until the complete screen of iCaller was shown. The bad thing is, that my mailbox starts after the seventh ring ;)
My phone is a LG KS20 (WM6.0), and the main app in the background is iFonz 1.1.2.
Maybe this is helpful to you.
Thanks.

[gregy1403]

may i put icaller.exe into startup folder? Or must be run every time i reset or turn phone on?

What size must be contact picture?

[nir36]

you can create a link to iCaller.exe and put the link in the startup folder.

[gregy1403]

at the moment i have it 218x280 px but still not displayed over full screen :(

[kwoodall]

I was hoping that HTMLView would support animated GIFs but apparently it doesn't. Correct?

BTW...I forgot to mention that I can't answer or ignore calls in this version of iCaller. So it's pretty dysfunctional.

Im having luck with my HTC 8525 (at&t) now, and have updated the settings file and also took off the "..." after incoming call..

I get the correct screen but of course with 3 small tiled pictures.
I only get this when I use the picture that is normally assigned to the contact.
(apparently when you let the program use the contact photo, it resizes it to 3 small tiled photos.

IF I take a regular phone pic (camera, not contact photo) and leave it at 2megapixel etc, the picture is huge but does take up the whole screen
(with some light blue mixed into the photo).. I used resco photo viewer to resize the pic to close to 240x320 and it looks basically
full screen now, , there are areas that are normally black in the photo and the light blue background shows through the photo
as if the black area is transparent and lets the blue color wash thru..
can we make the background color transparent so it wont affect the photo?

The only way I can get normal sized photos to show is
to NOT use the regularly assigned contact photo and use a totally different photo (or resize the contact photo)
to 240x320 and is named 15555551212.jpg (or whatever the phone # is for the contact)
and then I can at least get the full sized photos to show (with some colors messed up,, but its working better now)

[nir36]

Alright burt, i tried setting up an easy name on outlook, set a dir name in the settings.ini file and the same dir name on my storage card with the contact's name.jpg image.
for some reason it still goes to read the pictures from outlook.

any idea why?

Quick update to v0.1.0.3 is now available, contains many minor changes, such as avoid picture tiling, improved smartphone support, logging changes, second theme 'boxed.thm', etc.

To enable logging of windows, please run 'iCaller Log Windows.lnk'.

[KoolPal]

Dude,

You ROCK!!

I have been scouring the internet for some application like this for ages.

I was testing the earlier version 1.0.2 and found it quite ok.

Want to try this.

Would you be able to update a sort of a changelog on the first post?

For example, in order to use boxed.thm, do I have to rename this to default.thm. I am guessing and will experiment, but your update on changelog would have saved the hassle!

Quick update to v0.1.0.3 is now available, contains many minor changes, such as avoid picture tiling, improved smartphone support, logging changes, second theme 'boxed.thm', etc.

[nir36]

now it doesn't multiply the pictures but still doesn't read pics from the specified folder... for some reason. it shows the picture in the upper part of the screen, in the middle, and doesn't stretch it..

No, you don't have to rewrite it, I suppose. You may take a look at the changes I made to boxed.thm to catch the idea, but your theme should work fine anyway.

You don't have to rename it, just open settings.ini with a text editor (e.g. Notepad on your PC), and change "sTheme = default" to "sTheme = boxed" there, then restart iCaller.
I'll make a changelog.txt for the next release.

[truburt]

Could you please send me your settings.ini?
You should also ensure that your photo files are named exactly as 'File As' field of a contact in Outlook, including the comma. Supported file types are jpg, gif and png.

[KoolPal]

Version: iCaller0.1.0.3 is PERFECT!

Using the boxed theme. Outlook contact picture appears perfect, is not tiled.

Below codes do not seem to work.
PIMPR_BIRTHDAY
PIMPR_ANNIVERSARY

Is there any condition that should be met to make this work?

Also, need code for Contact Notes

Thanks a ton!

May God bless you for this application!!

[Genius2000]

I just received three calls, for every one I had a *fantastic* full screen caller ID, ...but only since the second ring, for the first I had the standard window.

I'm using Manila on a Diamond.

Many thanks.

Ciao, Andrea

[joshrys]

using the standard theme in .3 I see 2 grey boxes on left and right side of the window overlaying my fullscreen callerID picture. What do I comment out to disable these? I see that there is a section in there with some logic, but doesn't seem to work correctly.

[nir36]

I named someone as NAME
and put the picture NAME.jpg in
\storage card\my documents\my pictures\contacts

in the settings.ini file it's marked as yes.. to read from SC..

dunno why it doesn't work. still reads from outlook.

[kwoodall]

The 0.1.0.3 version is working in all respects on Smartphones again! The display is good, and it answers and ignores just fine.

What about animated GIFs...does or does not HTMLView support these?

...and what about adding something to iContact to use HTMLView for showing Contact information AND add a feature to add pictures to contacts there.

I noticed Zlibce.dll isnt in the new 0.1.0.3 zip file..
is it still needed?
I have it from the old install 0.1.0.2
cj

[MrDSL]

When I enable this my phone stops taking phone calls and doesn't even ring. As soon as I disable it then the phone rings again. The only thing I have changed in the settings.ini file is taking the ... of Incoming Phone

I hope its just something I'm doing wrong..

[nir36]

Alright, i figured out the problem

whoever has a problem with reading pictures from the storage card...

take the following example:


; Name of folder where contact pictures are located
sPicturesFolder = Storage Card\CPics

; If yes, will look for picture folder named above on first Storage Card
sPicturesOnStorage = no

[nir36]

Burt, just a comment.. but there's still the issue of transparency.
for some reason it reads #000000 as #505050..
I changed the background to #000000 and it still does that.

It's pretty disturbing :)

[KoolPal]

Hi CJ,

You will need to copy it from the old install. When I used the 0.1.0.3 without Zlibce.dll, it did not work.

All was well once I copied Zlibce.dll.

Hope that helps.

Doh! Silly me. Got it just minutes before you replied

Thanks.

Please check my another message on some help item on POOM codes. Thanks.

You don't have to rename it, just open settings.ini with a text editor (e.g. Notepad on your PC), and change "sTheme = default" to "sTheme = boxed" there, then restart iCaller.

...and what about adding something to iContact to use HTMLView for showing Contact information AND add a feature to add pictures to contacts there.

1. No support for animated gifs, neither for transparent files, unfortunately.
2. I do not plan to use HTMLView for iContact, as it is slower than native code.

[truburt]

I named someone as NAME
and put the picture NAME.jpg in
\storage card\my documents\my pictures\contacts

in the settings.ini file it's marked as yes.. to read from SC..

Would you please download 0.1.0.3 from the first post again? I've just updated it, some log information for pictures included. Please test it with Read from SC=true. Thanks!

Yep, it is still needed, I've just updated the .zips with this lib, thanks!

[nir36]

I'll try it.. tho.. doesn't every PDA have a folder named Storage Card in it's root dir? (considering it has a storage card in it of course)...

if so... you can let the storagecard option go and just have people write Storage Card\Pics Dir.... as i did.

what do you think about the Black Color problem?

[MrDSL]

Ok just tried the newest version and all seems to be working now..

I use all my contact photos from my outlook I just wish it would auto enlarge the pics to fit the entire screen. Can this be done with something custom in the theme?

This app is just awesome man I want to give you a big thanks. I have waited so long so a lightweight app that does this..You Rule!! :D

I hope people begin to post and share their custom caller themes..

Even I can confirm this. The photo from outlook is not shown full screen.

photos in outlook are resized automatically.. they're not 320x240..

you have an option to use pictures from folders on the device or on the storage card.
use it.

Use Slide to View (S2V) to set a picture as outlook contact picture.

You can download from A_C site (http://www.ac-s2.com/)

Ciao, Andrea

Nice app, picture is OK from Outlook contacts.
But it doesnt switch off default 'Incoming Call' window... In settings.ini is switch "sHideSysCallerWnd = yes" but doesnt work :(

[nir36]

Nice app, picture is OK from Outlook contacts.

what's your device's interface language? you need to change from "Phone - Incoming..." to whatever's written on your incoming call window when you receive a call.


btw.. I don't recommend applying pictures to contacts using S2V if they're in high resolution because it slows down iContact if you have a decent amount of contacts and it generally slows down reading contacts in outlook.

[Petulinek]

OK, great, i changed Phone - Incoming... to Phone - Incoming and now it works good :) Thank you for your tip :)

these are the instructions in burt's Readme.html

and you don't need to associate it to outlook. you can read them straight from the folder you created.

well, it's actually recommended to use the pics directly for a folder instead of outlook... at least the way i see it.. memory/storagewise

[MrDSL]

Out of curiosity what app are you guys using to resize your pics?

[Bigbest]

i used Photoshop

Out of curiosity what app are you guys using to resize your pics?

[nir36]

you can use VSO Image Resizer... it's for resizing pics directly through the the right click menu.

[truburt]

I've just posted iContact BE 6.5 beta (http://www.truburt.net/index.php?option=com_phocadownload&view=category&id=2:beta-versions&Itemid=3).

It now includes ability to assign pictures to contacts: go to details of a contact, click on the picture icon and pick a picture.

Look into the settings, there are 5 new options available on Contact Pictures tab:

1. Enable Picture Saving - to enable this feature
2. Save Pictures to File - if yes, pictures will be resized to full-screen and saved to a file, named by File As property of a contact (name of a contact)
3. Target Folder - folder to store pictures in if Save Pictures to File is enabled
4. Save Pictures to Outlook DB - if yes, thumbnail of the picture will be added to contact in Outlook database
5. Minimize Outlook Picture Size - makes saved thumbnail not greater than 64x64 pixels

So now you have a nice way to prepare photos for iCaller:

1. Enable 'Save Pictures to File' option
2. Set appropriate picture folder in 'Target Folder', e.g. \Storage Card\Caller Pictures

It's in beta status now, but everything should work fine already.

[Bigbest]

Is it possibile to associate only a single pic to a category of the contact (like "Office") for having the same photo for all collegues ? (without doing a 1:1 association)

[nir36]

burt, it works PERFECTLY. i took a camera picture to assign to a contact.. it put it in the Outlook DB and put a file in the dir i assigned in the iContact settings. simply perfect.

[Natt]

1. Enable 'Save Pictures to File' option
2. Set appropriate picture folder in 'Target Folder', e.g. \Storage Card\Caller Pictures


Burt,

It does not seem to work for me.
I enabled Save to File, specified \My Storage\Caller Pictures

but nothing happens - contact picture does not get updated and no new file appears in Caller Pictures.

I900

Update: I think it is better to discuss in iContacts' thread. Please answer there.

Update2: It works now. After 6th try it assigned the picture and works fine now. Strange.

[pietropizzi]

THX for iCaller, it works nice and fast (MDA Compact III).

Could you implement a bigger ANSWER - IGNORE section in the skin, I got used to tapping on screen than on hardware buttons.
That would be great !

[kwoodall]

4. Save Pictures to Outlook DB - if yes, thumbnail of the picture will be added to contact in Outlook database
5. Minimize Outlook Picture Size - makes saved thumbnail not greater than 64x64 pixels


Why restrict the size of the images being saved to Outlook? Other applications, such as EnCallio, save them in nearly any size. I'd like to have the Save Pictures to Outlook DB be able to resize images automatically to 240x320 or other standard full screen sizes.

Also...I prefer to keep them to the Outlook DB because the pictures will then show up in all applications since that's a point of commonality.

While 1.0.2 works quite ok on my XPERIA, with 1.0.3 the whole picture and caller name is jumping out of the screen to the right side. (what should be exactly center of the screen is aligned to the right side, so showing only half of the picture and name).

i hope you can understand what i mean ;-)

/edit: must be a problem with the .thm files. when i use the .thm file from 1.0.2. everything is ok

/edit2: made my own minimalistic caller screen .thm and german.lng now, since i don't use pictures at all. works faster as well. :-)

using treo 800w. the default caller id screen comes over the top of this app. also, when i install, i cant get to any of the .ini functions. get an error that says "no program associated with this file". fix?

[jneilliii]

I have installed this magnificent app onto my Dutty's WinMo 6.1 ROM and it works great. I like others have been searching for this type of app for quite some time, and finally someone has stepped up to the plate. Thanks for all your efforts. I do however have an issue that I have not seen you address that others appear to be having as well. If a picture contains a pure black color, that part of the image in iCaller becomes transparent. Do you foresee a resolution to this issue, as a lot of my contact pictures are logo-like images on black backgrounds.

[fsabatino]

Hi truburt,

Thanks for a great app! One suggestion. I also had problems with the default screen coming up and changed the settings.ini multiple times to get it fixed. I thought that my phone was one that would be in the "unsupported" category.

Reading threads, the simple but obvious answer to stop and re-start the application solved my problem.

Could you please add this to your readme.html so it is explicit that the application needs to be closed and then re-started for the changes to take effect.

Whilst this is (now) an obvious resolution, it may skip some people.

Cheers,

Fernando

Would like to have buttons to ans/rej as in htmlcaller, maybe with href. I used standard html to create my own them and no css-jscript. Would love to have a option like "-test" to test a theme without calling my phone to test it.

Uncompress mytheme.zip and use the falak.thm inside it.
update setting.ini (theme = falak) to use

[cM2003]

Hi.

I´ve got a problem with iCaller with my "german Samsung i900 Omnia".
I localiced the Incoming Call window in the settings.ini. The programm works, but the pictures of my contacts are very small.

At the attachments you can find a screenshot and my settings.ini
I hope you can help me. This program would be so nice :(

Sorry for my poor english :)

[YoLoLo]

Well, i must admit i haven't read the 14 pages of answers... Fell free to grill me if this has been reported/solved... ;)

I've tested you app, modifiyng the settings like you described to make the html page over the default one (My device is in French)... All was working fine, but i've got a minor issue (but important for me...) :
Since all was working with iCaller, i've noticed that hitting the "green phone button" send me an error message, something like :MSCprog can"t open shortcut, or not trusted app...
I wasn't able to change the shortcuts from the "button manager"...
Using SKTools, i've noticed that the :MSCPROG key was missing...
I've been obliged to rebuid the key to make the "green button" working again...

It seems that iCaller have erased the key in the registry...

Is it an unwanted feature of iCaller... or a bug ??

Anyway, you app look really good, and greatly covers the shame of the default incoming call windows :D

[afalak]

Its all in the theme, size/font/background etc. Use the theme I have given. It sets height of the caller picture to 170px. The only change needed in your settings.ini
sTheme = falak
download falak.zip, rename to falak.thm to icaller folder in the phone using activesync.
copy the updated setting.ini

restart icaller

unzip falak.zip to see the html file. If you know html then u can customize this a lot.

Updated my earlier post with a zip file which contains a folder having falak.thm. I think uploading causes the issue with the file which cannot be loaded. I checked it on my xda and its working.

Would like to add, use s2v (from here somewhere, do a search) to add your contacts pictures since the normal outlook one use low resolution so callerID wont come nice. Using S2V it comes good.

Out of curiosity what app are you guys using to resize your pics?


I just do it on the net at

Upload your pic, change the values to 240x320 and upload it to my phone in my contacts folder.

Just my 2 cents: Then I use S2V to assign to contact and this app works GREAT.

But the height of the picture is to big and not at 250 pixel. So the picture comes a little bit into the telefonnumber and Name -> this looks ugly :)

In your theme you want to skale it to 250 pixels, but I think it isn´t working.

Now I´ve written my own skin based on the defaultskin. But now pictures in landscape-size are to wide...
I know you have a java-code to correct this on your default, but how I said, I´ve got a problem with the height.

I hope you understand what I mean. Can you help me?

PS: In the attachment I´ve added a screenshot of my theme. I like it, but the problem with the width sucks...

PPS: Sorry, I know, my english isn´t the best :)

1 question ... how do i disable the default incoming pop up?

[KoolPal]

Hi All,

So far I just LOVE this app.

Need some help on two things:
1. I have mapped Birthday AND Anniversary dates in the layout.html
a. Am not good with HTML coding.
b. Can someone help me with the code to insert a label before some contact details? for e.g, I want to show the word 'B'day' before the birthday data when the call comes in. So it would show as "B'day: 01,January,1980" on the screen when a call comes from this person. Currently it shows 01,January,1980 (and I wonder if its birthday OR anniversary if there is a single entry for this contact)

2. A code similar (for e.g $POOMPROP(PIMPR_BIRTHDAY) is for the birthday field) which can be used to fetch data from Outlook Contact Notes.

Thanks a ton to all.

2. A code similar (for e.g $POOMPROP(PIMPR_BIRTHDAY) is for the birthday field) which can be used to fetch data from Outlook Contact Notes.

Thanks a ton to all.
B´day: $POOMPROP(PIMPR_BIRTHDAY)

-edit-
The forum changes the code from the "Acute-Symbol". Please delete the redcoloured of this code: B&_#180;day:

Well, i must admit i haven't read the 14 pages of answers... Fell free to grill me if this has been reported/solved... ;)

I've tested you app, modifiyng the settings like you described to make the html page over the default one (My device is in French)... All was working fine, but i've got a minor issue (but important for me...) :
Since all was working with iCaller, i've noticed that hitting the "green phone button" send me an error message, something like :MSCprog can"t open shortcut, or not trusted app...
I wasn't able to change the shortcuts from the "button manager"...
Using SKTools, i've noticed that the :MSCPROG key was missing...
I've been obliged to rebuid the key to make the "green button" working again...

It seems that iCaller have erased the key in the registry...

Is it an unwanted feature of iCaller... or a bug ??

Anyway, you app look really good, and greatly covers the shame of the default incoming call windows :D

:( any news from the dev about this ?
Am I the only one with this problem ?

[cruzzmz]

Simply edit setting.ini:

; Show notification when iCaller has been started
sShowStartNotification = no

Did you softreset your PDA?

Ciao, Andrea

[cM2003]

I think your problem is, that you haven´t localized "Phone - Incoming..." to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window. (for my german omnia it is "Eingehender Anruf")

The value of sShowStartNotification is only that window, which pops up, when you start iCaller or stop it.

[leobox1]

It should not be related to iCaller, because it doesn't deal with registry keys.

Probably I misunderstood your question, if it's related to the first ring that shows the standard windows, I have the same problem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2986377&postcount=84).

And, as far as I know, in this version there is no solution.

Try:

This worked for me after having the same problem with you..

The issue i am facing after running this program is this that the picture does not appear full screen. Half picture appears on the right top of the screen. Do i need to do any settings? I am using the X1.

I edited the theme file in the .tmn using some info I found here, what I have is listed below. All I get is the Unknown Caller pic, huge and offset half way to the right of my screen. I don't know much about HTML language or coding So I would be eternaly greatful if someone could help me out with this. I did read all 17 or so pages of this thread and can't solve the issue.

Thanks in Advance :)

First of all, really really nice program, just what i wanted... simple and easy to use...

two things : 1. How do i create a shortcut in startup folder to start this program on reboot..

2. when i get a call waiting, i don't see icaller running to display the name.. is there something i need to do in the settings...

[leobox1]

is this program development dead?

[kriengkrai]

I've tried icaller new version for 2 days. It's the best caller id app compared to inesoft or photo contact or even s2u2 because in my case I 've more than 2,500 contacts in add.book .it takes so long time in initialing the program and always hang up after several calls.

For icaller, i faced one problem that during call, someone call in , I can't see the caller id who is calling until I end the first call or let them miss call and see the no. in call history.

Anyway to solve this?

In the settings.ini file, there is a section that goes like:

; WNDNAME of default dialer
; It can be either 'Phone - Incoming...' or 'Phone - Incoming' for standard WM cprog.exe
sSysCallerWndTitle = Phone - Incoming...

Change the "Phone - Incoming..." part with what is written at the top of the system caller ID window.

Hi all!!

I'm trying to make icallers work on a Touch HD, but as far as now I did nothing!!

The image isn't shown correctly, It is enormous, I see only an half or less.

I changed the config file and the default.htlm file. I changed the third line from:

<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="240" />

to:

<meta name="MobileOptimized" content="480" />

but it doesn't work anyway.

Is there someone who did it?

Thank you!!!
Bye ;)

[biohazardousguy]

Thanks for this little application. It works well on my mio a510 device. The only thing I would sugest it to introduce some sort of scaling of the pictures, so that the one frome the outlook contacts to be displayed full screen. This is the only down side of this fast little program. The possibility of having the Caller Pictures folder should be kept for those who want to have different pictures for different numbers.
Thanks for the time and effort you used in developing this application

I tried the same thing, for Touch Diamond, but to no avail. My phone's resolution is 480x640, but this app seems to assume it's 240x320. I tried images that size and they fit perfectly.

[nav.it.singh]

Many thanks to truburt for this app. I created 480x480 images for standard caller ID photos, and 240x320 images for the current version of iCaller, and 480x640 for a possible future version that may support the size (Diamond). Tedious, I know, but the process was made simpler by creating the larger and resizing them for the smaller. Here's my theme file and I'll include 2 Photoshop templates for creating caller ID photos, depending on whether you want to create the 240 or 480 images.

[nav.it.singh]

I should also note that creating the CallerID images with the Photoshop template I posted above is essential for the theme to work properly, as I don't use background colours to ensure that the caller information is readable. The overlay is positioned exactly so that the text fits perfectly when displaying name, phone number, and company. Not having company is also fine.

[roze]

iCaller works fine for me.
But when I lock keys incomming call doesn't show the image caller.

Any idea?

I took some time out to do some photo house cleaning today. I had most of the photos I've been using set as my contact pictures and they had been resized (shrunk) by poutlook or outlook. Now I have them all ass close to 320x240 as possible and the come in full screen when it pops up.

Does anyone know how to have icaller start automatically after a reset or when the phone is powered on? I ask because I successfully placed a short cut in the Start Menu but still have to tell it to start.

Hey truburt,

I can't even open iCaller.exe out of my storage card! It says "file can't be opened". Is there something that I need to change or replace?

[Genius2000]

Hi Truburt,

after a ROM upgrade i missed the icaller funcionalities, I noticed the my in call screen is now "Chiamata vocale in entrata" so I changed settings.ini, then I noticed this strange line in icaller.log (attached)

Window: 0x7C086B70 Title: Telefono - In arrivo Class: Dialog
info: enabled


So i tried to change again settings.ini, but with no luck :(

Do you have any hint?

Many thanks!

Why restrict the size of the images being saved to Outlook? Other applications, such as EnCallio, save them in nearly any size. I'd like to have the Save Pictures to Outlook DB be able to resize images automatically to 240x320 or other standard full screen sizes.

It would be nice to have iCaller automatically scale up/down images to fit the full size iCaller wants to display.

Agreed. For Windows Mobile, it needs to be lean in size and fast. Seems like anything too big in size or processing requirements causes delays in ring notifications, etc. Don't know why this issue has never been solved since the very first version of Windows Mobile with phone capability.

I find that S2U2s full screen caller ID is actually okay. But it's not a standalone.

Hey guys,
I'm using the xperia, and this version of iCaller didn't work correctly on my phone.
When sombody called me, the picture and the number wasn't in the center of the screen, and I only saw half of the number.
I fixed this problem (thanks to phenx, who gave me the advise), changed the background for people without a picture (xperia style) and made the font for the caller information bigger.
and i translated the program to german.
if you want and if its ok with the programmer i can upload the fixed and modfied version in german and english.

Out of curiosity what app are you guys using to resize your pics?I use The Gimp. It's faster than doing it with whatever app on the PDA itself.

Now follows a little more elaborate report :-)

I was about to install those two Russian hogs by Iconsoft and Inesoft to try them out. Just moments before that I found iCaller and tried it on my little Touch, because that was basically all I really needed and free memory was getting smaller. (Also, the websites of PhoneEx et al. looked a little like pr0n sites with all those babes in the example screenies which made me suspicious ^^)

After a few adjustments in the settings and changing the picture path to \\My Documents\\Pictures\\Contacts it worked like a charm (with one backslash I got the small Outlook thumbs, then I remembered my programing days and how one had to escape backslashes). Perhaps you should add a comment about that to settings.ini, and also about where iCaller looks if it is set to look on the device for pictures, if the setting only names a single folder name like "Contact pictures". I didn't know that and hence used an absolute path to be sure.

I've read through all pages of this thread and so far did not encounter any of the problems the others had, though time might tell me more. Only I noticed that when the caller screen was up and I wanted to make a screenshot, I couldn't open QuickMenu; it shortly appeared and then disappeared again.

So, long story short: great app, dude. Keep it coming. :-)

PS, I also have a feature request: I'd like to have a preview mode, so I don't have to ask my buddies over and over again to ring me just to see how my new theme would look like. Perhaps set up a string in settings.ini with the number for the phony call, add a new parameter -test and iCaller reacts as if it was triggered by an incoming call from that number.

[afalak]

Dont think this can handle call waiting. All I get is that I am getting a call but cannot know whose calling and waiting.

[addicus]

It would be nice to have iCaller automatically scale up/down images to fit the full size iCaller wants to display.

After a hard reset I reinstalled iCaller and placed the iCaller shortcut in the Windows/Startup folder but it tells me the file is corrup tor unsigned. The program starts properly when I start it manually, but I need help with the automatic start. Please assist.
-
UPDATE 3/27/09: Problem Solved
-
After a few days of frustration I experimented.
-
1. The iCaller program started and stopped in the Programs folder. The shortcut I placed in Windows/Startup wouldn't. BOOOOO!
-
2. iCaller Stop started and stopped the program. I placed a shortcut in Windows/Startup and it continued to work manually and automatically after a soft reset. YEAH!!!!
-
3. I renamed this shortcut iCaller Startup. Everything works properly. I then placed a copy into the original iCaller zip for future use.
-
4. Bonus - I also placed a copy of my updated settings in the original zip file so I don't have to repeat the set up steps everytime.

PEACE!

iCaller works fine for me.

I found the same. I'm stopping and waiting for some developer to solve it.

[skp19]

I like how you customize the look of the incoming calls with iCaller but the call waiting not showing who's calling was bugging me so I just threw together a dirty fix for it real quick using mortscript. It's not perfect but it works for me till it gets fixed or something better comes out.

The script checks if the phone app is open and disables iCaller and restarts it when you close the phone app. So when the phone app is open, the stock WM caller ID will show. It isn't perfect but I'm assuming this will work at least 90% of the time.

Known Issues:
-If you close the phone app during a call it will reenable iCaller.
-iCaller will be disabled when viewing the call history.
-The script might disable iCaller for programs that start with "Phone" in the windows title.


The script was written to check for English text. It checks for "Phone" and "Phone - Incoming" in the window titles so you may need to modify it if your phone shows different. The script also assumes iCaller is installed in main memory inside "/Program Files/iCaller/".

Instructions:
There are 3 files inside the zip file. Copy "iCaller start.lnk" to "/Program Files/iCaller" and the other 2 files can be placed wherever you want. "krzdisableduringcall.mscr" starts the script and "krzdisableduringcallstop.mscr" will stop it.

Hello people,

my friend and I crated style for icaller for xperia(wm6.1), it is nothing special but I want to share with you. It is also has translation for Croatian (Hrvatski), it can recognize the type of call (mobile, home, work...), it can recognize the address, it can recognize the picture and of course he shows the name and number.
And it can recognize if mobile is in portrait or landscape position.
Here is the picture how it looks:

It worked for me(the auto hide), unfortunately it has still this strange behavior:

The pictures left side starts at the center of the screen, goes to the right and continues from the left side of the screen to the cetner. (i hope u understand me) Also the contact information.

I have an eten glofiish x650 VGA resolution with WM6.5

I would love this app, but at the moment it is unusable. I tried different resolutions with pictures. No help

Hi everybody! Excuse for a long delay. I have been very busy. This is a test version for a full-screen mode. It can be useful to owners of smart-phones and that who likes to use hard buttons.

Hi everybody! Excuse for a long delay. I have been very busy. This is a test version for a full-screen mode. It can be useful to owners of smart-phones and that who likes to use hard buttons. Also I added options for vibration at connection and threefold vibration when line is busy. Please try it. Just replace existing files with files from archive.

Thanks for sharing, I'm trying this app, but sometimes it works and sometime it doesn't work :)

Ciao, Andrea

Please provide me with more detailed information about this problem

Simply... sometimes your application shows me the correct image of the contact who is calling, and sometimes it shows the standard incall screen, it seems random.

I have customized the version of iCaller that I use on my phone to display what state the person is calling from. This can be useful when someone calls you from an unknown number. It is based on iCaller 0.1.0.2.

To use the theme, download "ram.thm" file. Also, make sure that you change the theme in your "settings.ini" file from "default" to "ram".

I have more changes planned. Feed back is welcome.

I am testing it out on te Samsung Jack and seems to be working good so far.

Observations:
1. My pictures are not "full screen" (which is the only reason I tried the app out :D), they under half the size of the screen. Still bigger than oem though lol.
2. There is a 2-5 sec delay between the phone lighting up (receiving call) and when the icaller begins to work. I have my pic stored on the storage card.
3. To activate the app, I find it via File Explorer and select it. It seems that it freezes my phone for a good 20-30 seconds before I am able to navigat again. I can hit the home key though.

Hope this helps :D

please test this version


this version works absolutely fine on HTC GENE 100 ...

pictures size is little small...and background is black ...

[rajivshahi]

Thanx guys for making this wonderful app alive.... :D:D

[tharam04]

What would be cool is if the program could automatically come to the top over all the windows when a call comes in. Anybody have any idea on how to do this?

Working great on my HTC Diamond 1. My caller pictures are 480x640, but they are not showing on full screen. I think pictures are scaled so the text is visible on black background. Is this how the program works? How about a full screen picture and text overlapping it. And if the text is not clear there could some effect applied to it-dark background, glowing letters:)
I'm using this version post=235 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4838440&postcount=235) with Windows 6.5.1- BsB ROM.

best regards

I think it would be a good idea to put a size variable in the settings file so the users could choose how big they want the image. Also "Full Screen" mode should get rid of the "Accept /Reject" butons on the bottom of the screen which currently isnt happening.

iCaller v0.1.0.3 alpha

Simple CallerID application which extends system default Incoming Call screen with full-sized pictures, additional contact information and fully customized interface.

Currently, it is an alpha version, which means that it may contain bugs and do not work correctly on some devices. Please give me the feedback, I'll be fixing issues.

You may get it also at my new home site (truburt.net)

Features:

- Lightweight
- Expands default incoming call screen without affecting its behavior
- Full-sized contact picture
- Pictures can be stored on a Storage Card or in Pocket Outlook database
- Picture can vary for the same contact depending on its phone number (just name the picture with a number, e.g. 5554433.jpg)
- Customized interface based on HTML (using system HTMLView control, thanks for idea goes to mrproper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426391))

ToDo:

- Screen lock functionality
- Speed improvements
- Bugfixing

Instructions:

- Unpack contents of the archive in a folder on your device, e.g. \Program Files\iCaller (do not forget to copy zlibce.dll too!)
- Check settings.ini - it is configured for English version of Windows Mobile OS, you may need to replace sSysCallerWndTitle option from 'Phone - Incoming...' to your localized name of system default Incoming Call window
- Launch iCaller.exe

For detailed instructions refer to readme.html

Note!

Stop and restart iCaller each time you modify the settings.ini file!

Looked great at first, worked well and simple, lightweight etc.
But the app does not work when the phone is locked. Who has their phone unlocked when it is not in use? Fatal flaw.

Hello, I have just run iCaller0.1.0.3 on my Touch Diamond2 device, English version. But it does not working correctly.

I make a call to my Touch Diamond2, it just showed up the default caller screen. When I hang up the call, the Touch Diamond2 screen had a 0.5 second pop onto full screen photo, back to normal again...

Below is the log file, your help to solve the problem is much appreciated.

Thanks...

Try this version

[jaskiratsingh]

Try this version

The version 0.1.0.7 works fine on WM 6.5.x. There is an issue i.e. iCaller appears after 3-5 seconds after call instead of immediately.

Secondly it would be perfect if answer and end call buttons are at the bottom of the screen.

Please let me know if you need the buttons.
