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: ...

In fact, the SMS tone even was more easy to achieve...

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...

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 somebody able to create a shortcut (.lnk) or a registry tweak which opens directly a new blank MMS on WM6 ?
That was not very diffictult on WM5 but I don't find the solution on WM6.
Have a look here...
http://blogs.msdn.com/mikehall/archive/2005/08/22/454922.aspx
if you edit the following file and rename it, you might get a reult.
I cant edit this on my PC at work though.
This works with WM5, but unfortunately with WM6, if rename the target from SMS to MMS, it opens only this :
It works for me with SMS on WM6
Make sure you have the option unchecked to automatically open your Accounts list.
Other than that, it should work fine
It doesn't.
The option is unchecked.
That's the limit of my knowledge on this subject
Hope somebody else can help
In my case, I change the Softkeys...
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Default = SMS
Open = tmail.exe
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
Turn off the phone, wait 20 sec. soft reset
Tanks for help.
I can create a shortcut for all programms, that is not a problem. Create a shortcut for SMS is not a problem. But a f...ing lnk for a new MMS is impossible.
I think that on WM6 MMS is a mail plug-in, not an application.
Any other idea ?
I wouldn't worry about it too much, apparently in the newest version of arcsoft MMS they seperated sms and mms again, so the old link should work again. Now I just have to find that thread again to see if someone put a cab file for it yet.
Great news ! Thanks Xeno1
Sorry to raise your hopes only to dash them again. Apparently, so far at least, the only way to get this to work is to install it by cab to a ROM that was cooked without MMS. If you install it over the top of an already installed version or cook it in to the ROM MMS quits working all together. I'll let you know though if anyone figures out how to fix it.
OK, thanks for the news.
One and a half year later, I try once again. Is anyone able to create this shortut ?
This is not the solution (It woud be to easy) :

when you go to setup your email, put in a bogus email (ex.. [email protected]) it will cause the wizard to ask you for all your settings.

Guys I have looked online and on my menus of my pro and cant find were I can change the names around from First/last instead of last/first.

I dont have the same phone but I know on WM6 smartphone when your editing or entering the contact information scroll way down under work phone 100 or something () theres a display as or something field with last , first and you can scroll through the options.
You are looking for the setting "File as". It would be easier if you do that in Outlook (assuming that you sync your contacts with Outlook)
I use a server so I am syncing all the time. The problem is that you cannot set first/last for all contacts you have to do it individualy. On my blackberry I could set it on the phone so I didnt have to change each one.

Yeah, it's the sixth field down ("File As...") when editing an "outlook contact". Tap it and it will give you all available options for the name you have entered. It's annoying, I know. Wish you could just set it as an "overall" preference, rather than having to do each conatct one-by-one.

If when you push the sms button, nothing happend, the problem is that you write wrong the path to sms chat; check if it work with or without te " and if you have sms chat installed in an other directory.
Partially working
Hi. I'm also using Spb Shell 3, and it is starting Vito SMS very well. It's just a matter of making sure that the app path is ok. As a suggestion, what I use to do is in the PC with Windows Explorer I navigate all the way to the executable, and the copy the path from the explorer and paste it on the registry (directly on the phone via MyMobiler, or on the PC using CERegEditor). So, on the main screen, when I press the SMS button it goes directly to SMS-Chat.
What is not working is, when I go to the Contacts panel and press the "Send SMS" button, it goes to the app, but not directly composing a message, so I have to browse and select the contact. Is it possible to start composing directly from the contact panel?
Thanks in advance.

This may or may not work for the Contacts panel, but try modifying the registry key and append open:%s outside of the quotes.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINBOX
1 -> "\Program Files\Vito\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe" open:%s
Seemed to work for me in MS2 Contacts. The unfortunate side-effect of doing this though, is when you select the SMS icon on the Now screen, it goes to the compose window (and addresses it to some unknown string like "Service...").
i changed this registry entry
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSINBOX
1 -> "\Program Files\Vito\SMS-Chat\SMSChat.exe"
from the now screen it opens sms-chat(good)
from the contacts it opens sms-chat(good)
from the map messages in spb3 when i select messages it selects sms-chat(good)
from the map messages in spb3 when i select compose new message it selects THE ORIGINAL WM program NOT GOOD.
were is that second entry located in the registry?
it seems 2 entries are used, one for messages and one for compose new message
