Full Screen Caller ID (WITHOUT installing any program!)
Requirements: PPC WM5, WM6 - (Note: Tested on several devices and it works PERFECTLY!!!)

Overview: As we all know the default CallerID sucks!
Why installing a heavy footprint application (with many other useless
functions) if at the end all you need is a decent Full Screen CallerID?

I have extracted (ONLY) the necessary files from a known application (which
is NOT freeware) and I made sure this tool works WITHOUT having to worry
about any registration/serial. EVER!

This portable version is perfect if you just want to test without
changing/installing anything on your device.

Simply unrar and copy the files to your SD/device, and run it. (Follow
EXACTLY the Readme.txt included in the rar). This is a simple application, it
will not mess with your settings. You can just try it, if you don't like it, just
remove/delete the files. I can guarantee that you will love it!





By following a few easy steps (the rar includes a clear Readme file) in a couple of minutes you can enjoy (even without a soft reset) a skinnable full screen callerID WITHOUT installing any program!

Note for Photo CallerID: Please read below post number 12

Download Instructions: Password to open rar (all in UPPER case): PPCWEB

IMPORTANT: For this tool to work you MUST download from the Rapidshare link 1 line below (the rar contains ONLY 5 folders + the Readme... NO cab file)
Link Down. Filename: Full_Screen_Caller_ID.rar

Looks great! I will make some tests, and if I have any comments, I back.

thanks a lot for the tweak, works perfect.. and no footprint!

I have added SPANISH SUPPORT (have changed the name of the directories in the direct access):

This is the piece of software I was looking for!
But unfortunately it is not working on my german ROM.
Could anybody correct the pathes in the software for a german ROM, or
can anybody explain me what I have to do to change the pathes by myself?

Hola l3utterfish,

Happy you appreciated it

I read your blog and I am glad you brought this useful solution with ZERO footprint to the Hermanos... ique disfuten!

Hi Witamy,

No worries mate! It is easier than you think!

Just use Resco Explorer to make a Start Menu shortcut of the file (which you copied on the SD) callled "Address Book.exe" and you will find the icon in your Programs.

Obviously you should NOT copy the in Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ the file called "Caller ID".

Let me know if you managed to make it work.... It is DEFINITELY WORTH IT

YOU ARE MY HERO!!
The way you described, works perfect.
As expected, this software is great!

Thank you so much!!

Glad I could be of help!

Amazing how many (other) people are struggling to install HEAVY DUTY programs on their PPC to obtain at the end the same thing my system does with ONLY A FRACTION of the footprint...

But fortunately there are also several others (like yourself) who appreciated my work and think of Eta Beta every time the phone rings

Hi,

thanks for your work. I managed to get it work on my HTC Touch Diamond, but the pictures I'm using looking very blury, when someones calls. I'm using high quality pictures in size 256x256 at 300 ppi.

Any suggestions...

Hello Everybody

I do not use any photo in the callerID (see the RIGHT screenshot below), actually I do not keep any photos at all in my contacts so I never came in touch with the problem you just reported (thanks for that!).

I would love to make you happy(ier) and I did some testing but indeed the photo you add to a contact will result pretty blurry in the CallerID (see the LEFT screenshot below)



The photo I used is quite sharp (the girl is hot ) and still the CallerID is blurry!

Sorry guys, but I really have no idea how to improve that... Maybe somebody (smarter than Eta Beta) will be able to find a solution... As far as I am concerned I am VERY HAPPY to have replaced the lousy default caller ID with this "Full Screen CallerID" (that is actually the title of my original post/release and it is also how I intended to use and share this tool).

I hope you guys can make the best out of "Full Screen CallerID" even without the photo feature.

Wish you all a GREAT day

Hi,

I found the solution for the blurry pictures. You need to reassign every contact picture "INSIDE" Inesoft Phone tool. You need to reedit every contact, and reassign the high quality pictures you made before, and use high quality output. Btw, it uses a max of 250X250 in size for every picture, nevertheless which size it was before. You can use every picture you want, and crop it inside the app.

I also found out, if you use for example the Skin "ECHO_Metall_Grey.cid" (from their webside), then you dont need anymore tools like "Slide 2 Unlock" or "Answerkeys Disabler", because you can answer calls only with your hardware keys.

And for the cracks here. Here is the Skin Editor. You can also edit some of the sample skins the way you like it.

Does this work landscape?

Hi Christian,

I never use my device in landscape mode so I really never wondered about that.

Just tested now and I am happy to tell you that it works perfectly

By the way did one of the 2 GPS apps I suggested solved your problem?
