Any skins for this versions? Will da older versions skin work?

[Damager]

does the categories thing work like "filter by company" in the standard wm6.1 contacts?

i just need that functionality as i have several contacts under a particular company so when i filter by that company then i see just those particular contacts.

cheers!

[DaRedLight]

Whoa! Too fast and sensitive for me, I had to downgrade to v.81...I appreciate the post though. :viannen_08:

[Damager]

well the categories.. i mean the choices are "all" or "favorites".. not really that useful.. really looking for something that will sort by company..

I dont think that you can do that

[Mike20PR]

im not sure about that either. back when i used manila2d it automatically replaced the standard wm contacts in the "all people" link, but not sure about manila3d cuz i dont have a pro. you can check if you can edit the link in diamond config tool ( just guessing)

worked just fine for me. you are installing to main device right and not sd card?

[Moebius]

I was able to download from the supware site and install. Not sure if the version here got corrupted in download or something else weird. V I P, you might try snagging from the supware site and see if it works.

And Taylor, in my case at least it never got to the prompt. Would just start the usual installing message, then immediately put up Installation Was Unsuccessful. I tried the usual soft resets and all that jazz but couldn't get it to work until I snagged from supware.

Now, if someone can just figure out how to hack the People TF3D tab to replace the all people link. :D

did you try the cab posted??? that is what i used.....it is the newer version....worked perfectly. as for the all people you may be able to change it through a registry change......i use key wop to change it on the home screen so when i hit the right soft key (contacts) it is replaced with icontacts.......

Yeah, tried the cab posted first. Not sure what the deal was. Uninstalled .91, soft reset, and got the Installation Unsuccessful message. Downloaded again, same message, soft reset, same message, downloaded from Sup, worked. May have just been a glitch in there, really not sure.

Never actually posted software on this board, let's see if I can figure that one out. Ok, here's the one I got from the main site.

[TaylorSPJ]

updated post with cab from site, first cab might not work for some.....even though it from the site too...lol

[Avgas]

Thanks, just installed this on my newly acquired diamond :thumb:

For those wanting to map iContact to the "all people" soft button, here are the instructions:


1. Disable TF3D(Settings|Today and uncheck TF3D)
2. Run ssMaPa
3. On config screen make sure you have TouchFlo 3D selected(depending on version you may not have this tab)
4. Goto Init tab, press Init and wait for it to bring up listing of programs(I dunno if Extended Init needs to be checked or not, but i have done it with and without it checked)
5. Highlight "Replace Poutlook"
6. Checkmark "Patch Enabled"
7. In the "New Program" field put /Program Files/iContact/iContact.exe (note the FORWARD slashes / as opposed to \)
8. In the "Arguments" field put a $
9. Press "Save"
10. Press the Deploy tab
11. Press Deploy Patch.
12. You should get a a message about unsigning a file and if ssMaPa should try to do this. Press "Yes".
13. Once it's done, reenable TF3D and it should work.

oh, sorry about that, may I ask the purpose of it?

for links that are for downloads bots dont get to them which means that they stay up on rapidshare, megaupload, etc longer before being taken down for illegal content... and for the others we need to otherwise google can take away the ads on the side bars of the site which helps pay for the server costs meaning that we would need more than double the donations just to stay up and alive..... hope this explains it a little better for you.

yep, sure does :thumb:


Quick iContact question,
Is there any version or any way to put a big X button on the top corner? This app is great but exiting it can be frustrating, I know you can click the top corner, but that doesn't really exit it.

[kbshowtyme]

I may be wrong but if you check the setting menu you can check "exit on action" I think it minimize by default

[scott8813]

That is absolutey correct. I get why they're concerned about that though because sometimes I'll open the app on accident because i've set another version as one of my two keys at the bottom of the screen and when you don't have the intent on using it them even the slightest difficulty having to close it can become quite the annoyance.
