Here's another program in the style of RingtoneX and Caller-ID.
Magician users might already know it, because I started telling about it here. But I think it's a bit too well hidden there, and I'd like to know if it works on other devices as well...
Ringtones seem to work fine on MDAc with a reasonable number of contacts, while I've got a feedback it doesn't work on an MDA II with over 500 contacts. I don't know whether it's because of the device or the number of contacts, so just try if it works for you, and give me some feedback...
SMS notification sounds should work on all devices, but it might need a soft reset to activate the messaging plug-in. This plug-in can be used by other programmers as well: If you create a registry key with <window title>=<window handle> (as DWord) in HKLM\Software\Mort\SMSNotify\Windows, you'll receive a WM_COPYDATA with a string containing "SMS\n<sender>\n<text>" whenever an SMS comes in...
Oh, btw: As all my other programs, this will remain free, but I gratefully accept PayPal donations to [email protected]...
Hi Mort,
would you be so kind to upload some screenshots of your application? I would like to see, how the program's gui is done.
TIA,
BGK
Here you are...
Don't expect too much, it's been made to work for me, not to look pretty...
The call and sms popups are not modified, i.e. the one of Windows is used. I only replace the registry entry for the ringtone resp. sms notification sound...
Your App is great! Are there any changes to Ver. 0.5?

The SMS sound is reset a second after the notification was handled and on exit, so it won't set the most recently used one as default on next startup.
Addionally, there are now three "pseudo" categories for all other numbers: contacts without assigned number (either direct or by category), unknown numbers, and calls with supressed numbers. The sounds for these categories are set to the currently used ones as defaults until the category settings are saved.
Mort, you are just GREAT!
Thanks 8)
It is really amazing specially changin SMS tone :shock: .... Keep it up.... I hope if you could....:
- Include all rings under Windows folder and sub folders cause there is no need to copy all tones in /Windows to /Windows/Rings...
- The ability to set Tones in Storage Card.
- The ability to listen to the Tone before setting it.
- The ability to view the Recent Caller Name not only number...
I will keep testing it and let you know ASAP ... Waiting for your next release , do not be late :wink: ...

Both of this is not possible as such, because the Windows call program doesn't support paths in the used registry values. (That's why RingtoneX copies the files of other folders to \Windows\Rings...)
But can can modify the path for the ringtones in the registry. It's stored in the Value "Directory" of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring. MortRing uses this value, too (because I use \Storage\Ring).
But currently, MortRing will list ALL contained files of this directory, as I didn't want to limit it too much. Thus, setting it to \Windows would make choosing a ringtone taking quite a while...
The ability to listen to the Tone before setting it.

Currently, all I could do would be opening the file, so it's played by WMP or the "Pictures" application (which also plays MMF, MID, and some other audio codecs...). I don't know of a simple way to play anything but WAV directly in my app.
- The ability to view the Recent Caller Name not only number...

Technically, that would be no problem, but I think the default "missed calls" list is far better for this. The output's mostly for debugging reasons anyway...
Guys, the most sophisticated gadget I ever had prior to owning the Magician is a Sony Ericsson P800. Judging by how confused I am with the Magician's set message alert tone / ringtone capability as it is now, kindly explain, as you would explain it to a child, how Mort's program works.
Thanks!

After installation, the program's in the autostart folder. After a soft reset, you'll see a tray icon that looks like a cell phone.
If you tap this icon, a popup menu appears. The most important entries are "Contacts" and "Categories".
In "Categories" you can assign ring- and sms tones to the contact categories. If a contact has multiple categories, the order of the list in this dialog is used. I.e., if a contact has both "Private" and "Friends", it will take the "Friends" settings if it's in the list prior to "Private".
In "Contacts" you can assign ring- and sms tones to single contacts, thus overriding the category settings. The currently used category ringtone (or "*other contacts*") is shown there if no specific contact ringtone is set. To remove a contact ringtone (and this way restoring the category setting), press the fitting "X" button ("X"=remove). It's only activated if a contact ringtone's assigned.
Its really a great program, very simple to use, and not complicated at all 8)
Thanks for the great work, Mort
What you've done is really something cool 8)
Hmmm so after 500 contacts we should start deleting HAHAHHA I think this is not such a big issue and with your skill you'll probably figure it out. So the best of luck Mort. Great App... BTW I am using v0.5d with 445 Contacts
Hey Mort
This is a great program.
I am using it on my XDA Mini and it's so much better than the CallID program that comes with the phone.
Good work.
Mort you are great.
I now use this, MortSaver and MortPlayer!
Whats the latest version of MortSaver by the way?

It now uses the SMS notification of MortRing, which should improve stability in this area a lot...
Mort,
Great idea, and certainly easier to use than Photo Contacts. Only issue I've noticed on my Mini is that MortRing does not show certain people in Contacts list (in MortRing), and the ring tone seems to be incorrect during the call (it uses one a few categories down), whereas it is correct in the Contact list. I have under 300 contacts, but some may have multiple entries, which may cause it to exceed 500 I suppose.
Any fixes?
BTW, you don't by any chance have an offspring named Susan, do you?

If the correct one is shown in the "Recent call" message of MortRing (popup menu), it's probably the timing problem. I don't have a good and working solution for that currently... It seems like the only way would be to kill and restart the system's call program, but that's quite risky - if something goes wrong, you won't notice the call at all...

hey is it possible to update this program so it does not unload itself from memory everytime i launch another program or run a backup (stop processes option is turned off). having to restart the option manually is frustrating.

In theory, it shouldn't be stopped as it is. Either something's going wrong on your system, or your free memory is very small...
Are you sure it's really unloaded? Hidden windows aren't shown in most task lists. As long as the tray icon is visible and works, all is fine...
Anyway, here's a version which ignores WM_CLOSE, which should help in most "automatically closed" cases.
It also includes another approach to use lineSetAppPriority. Please tell me whether it works or if you get additional "unknow" entries in the call history again...

No, the recent call list the wrong tone as well. The funny thing is that it's a tone that is use for a totally different category; if it had not been recognised, it would have played a different tune.

Is there a way to setup a sound repeating for unread SMS? It seems that this possibility is disabled in the normal setting menu.
Searching for something that will give a reminder say every 10:th minute that there are unread SMS.
Previously had a Samsung where this was possible, badly missing this when switching to the Polaris

Im looking for this too...
Maybe with Mortscript...
Have a look at "Mortscript example accumulation" thread in "Developmente and Hacking" section....
I remember that someone did something similar.....
Thank you for the suggestion. There were some references, but I am unsure how use the information. I had hoped for a simpler approach. After quite some time of reading, still unsure how to get a script running.
Or have a look at PhoneAlarm (www.pocketmax.net).
An excellent tool...
There are various programs that do this ...
SPB phone suite does it too, which is what i use.
Thanks for all suggestions, will check the indicated programs.
Hi there.
I have some questions, and perhaps a request regarding threaded SMSs on WinMo 6.1 (also known as 'conversations'):
I generally like this, except the fact that I don't see the Time Received & Time Sent. I just see the dates.
1) Is it possible to also display the time (next to date)? If not possible by default, is there some reg setting or perhaps program to do this?
2) Is it possible to open the individual messages from the Threaded view? I can't seem to open them.
Thnx

The time is only displayed on a text received on that day, otherwise its just the date (by default) If there is a reg tweak, i will have to look into that

You cant open a single text when the thread is open. Some people like the threaded option, some dont, if its not for you turn off the option
Of course there are apps out there like icontact (i think) that also displays texts in threaded way but more freindly and i think it gives the time too.

Is there one that'll add an extension to your call history log and allow you to block numbers through there? I don't wanna have to copy the number and then open another applications and paste the number in there... Maybe if the application had an additional call history of it's own would be good too.
I liked Panoramic Phone Genius because of how easy it was to block numbers, but it ate up too much space and memory for me and my liking...
I'm just looking for a simple or advanced call blocker that I don't have to copy the number and then add it to a list, but I can just make a gesture or click and block a way right then and there.
Thanks

I apologize if this has been asked before - I spent hours googling this with no success.
I have a new Nexus 5 (4.4.2) and I'm still customizing it.
I would like to be able to assign a specific ringtone to an individual contact.
I know how to do it and tried it many times - no dice. No matter what ringtone I assign to a specific contact, the phone always rings with the default ringtone.
I use the stock People app and display Contacts from Microsoft. I did try it with Contacts from Gmail - it changed nothing when it came to the ringtone assignment.
Thank you.
Is the ringtone in MP3 format? I know Android can handle a few other formats natively but you're always safe with a compressed MP3

At this point, I tried it only with the ringtones that come with the phone.
I assign a particular one to a contact, i can see my selection sticks in the contact record, but it rings with the general default ringtone...
BUMP?
Anybody?!
I'm not used to having specific rigntones for my contacts but here is below what I did and it works. I have the stock People and Dialer apps.
1. In People app I choose a contact > Menu > Set ringtone > Multimedia storage > "X" ringtone > OK.
2. That's it.
All my contacts are sync with my GMail account. Did you try with several contacts? What happens if you try with a new contact?

Well, aren't I a goose! I had a think about this and thus a revelation. I don't have Caller ID. In Canada this means that the provider actually goes to the trouble to strip ALL the information that comes down the line - yes, they are vicious here. Therfore, even if I'm called by somebody who IS in my Contacts, all I see is "Unknown".
My heartfelt apologies and thank you for trying to help.

Much luck and please come back here and let us know what happened.
Are you tired of that heavy that call you twenty times each day? ::
HOW IT WORKS
With this app you can block incoming calls for:
* Hidden numbers
* Phone numbers (match start of the number, end of the number or complete number)
* All numbers from a contact
You can enter the blocked numbers manually, from the contacts list or from the calls log.
The app support several working modes:
* Accept all incoming calls
* Reject all incoming calls
* Block the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (blacklist)
* Accept only incoming calls from the numbers/contacts that are added to the list (whitelist)
Note that the app is started when the call is received. Due to that, is possible that the system starts the incoming call ringtone before the app ends it. If that occurs, please, create a ringtone with 1-2 seconds of silence and use it.
Also, the app can show the list of rejected calls and much more...

Thanks, bought it, can't stand ads.
Working very good so far , Using Galaxy S5 Duos and working great for both SIM , no ringing is heared while calling just direct busy which is very good since other applications gives a tiny normal calling tone then busy
will support by buying the app , please keep it good and updated
showing numbers by name while picking it from the call log or while checking the blocked call list instead of just the number will be good
ability to hide app icon from app drawer will be good addition also
auto add a number to blacklist if user canceled it for xx times ( if possible to do this feature )
app icon needs another color and a little bit more pro touch for the design
thanks for this great app :good: hoping that it will always working good

Hidden numbers refers to calls that are not providing the from number.
In spanish are "número oculto" and I have translated directly. Please, let me know if in english has other name.

Hi, couldn't really test the app yet, since I can't add phone numbers from contacts to Whitelist. I always get the message "None of your contacts has a phone number".

P.S.: Also missing a translation when using "Picking a number" - the three options regarding the whole number or only a part of the number are in Spanish.

Are your contacts synced with Google? I'm using the immutable id of the contacts in order to allow backup/restore operations (not jet implemented).
No, I'm not synching contacts with Google (would make to much mess in my phone due to number of google contacts )). My contacts are only stored locally (in the phone) and a copy of them on SIM card. So there is no solution for this (yet ) unless I sync with Google?
Cool no worries just making sure, dont want him to have any of my money.

Picks the call & immediately rejects it
