Dialer in WM6

A few questions:
I guess the new WM6 approach to contacts integration is to simply incorporate all of the contacts into the smartdial functionality. I find it kinda annoying. Anyone figure out how to re-program a soft button (or dialer skin) to click into your contacts list (like in WM5)?
Anyone out there know how to tweak a registry setting so that the contacts which the dialer pulls are in fact the Goodlink Contacts, and not the Outlook contacts?
Are there any "large button" dialers that work with WM6 and retain the Smartdial functionality
Thanks.

How do I - "Assign Ring tone".

Hi,
Is it possible to "assign a ring tone" to a contact. I have looked but can't find the option.
Rob.

Select the contact you want to assign a ring tone to, then menu/ Edit, scroll down the list until you find RingTone a tap the stylus in the box, the pop-up contains your ringtone list, simply select the one you want - Mike

Mike,
I dont get the "ring tone" option for some reason when I go into the edit option.
Rob.

Rob, what make of device are you using?, when I select a contact then Menu/ Edit the following options are listed:
Name
Picture
Job title
Department
Company
Work tel
Work Fax
Work addr
IM
E-Mail
Ring tone
Web Page
Office loc
Home tel
Home addr
Categories
etc etc etc
11th entry in the list is RingTone, tap the stylus in the empty field to the right of Ring Tone and select your tune from the list - this works on both my HTC P3300 and T-Mobile Compact III - Mike

contact has to be in the phone, not at the SIM card...
Good Luck

Windows Mobile 6.1?

Has anyone heard or learned something about the new WM6.1?
Some people say that the the main changes are the following:
-Copy / Paste
- Domain Enroll in Settings (Enrolling in a domain will connect your device with company resources.)
- New home screen (pan left and right to check out missed calls, notifications like email, sms, etc.)
- Change Master Security Code
- Added text input settings
- Recent Programs when pressing Start menu
- Threaded SMS!
- When you compose an email, or SMS, and start typing the name of the contact in the "To:" field, the contact names finally pop up like Windows Mobile Professional!
- Internet Explorer now lets you define a homepage, and also zoom in and out using a nice and clean interface

as has been mentioned before, windows mobile 6.1 with the carosel thingy is smartphones, not for phones that use a stylus.

mattie's response should be in the wiki

I was going to say, you oculd do most of those things in WM5
hahaha

Chome Config: custom Chome or Cmessage

i was wondering if there is a list of urls/launchers that i could use to make my own pages / panels in CHome. I dont mean launchers for programs I put on my phone, those are easy enough. I mean launchers / urls for stuff that are a part of the OS. Links like msprofiles; mssettings; etc. To be specific i want to make pages for text msg, emails, missed calls, call history. pretty much almost the same stuff that are in CHome & CMessage panels. Obviously those panels are nor editable, so i can not go into them and look at the links like i can with CSettings.
For starters, i want to make pages for Text Messaging, specific email accounts. i am able to make page for 'messaging' in general which leads to those but i want to pages for each, just like in CMessage & Chome. Also want missed calls, voicemail. Anyhelp would be appreciated.

bump. can someone help?

Dialer location and files - problems with display

Have been modifying TP2 with many registry changes etc. Running WM6.1
However, seem to have "lost" part of the standard dialer and have trolled through the forums trying to find what files and .dll are being used by the DEFAULT dialler.
The HTC dialler works fine but I do not like it, so when swapping back to the default dialer, the buttons and keys are there, but where the list of previous numbers should be is just a grey area with no entries. Selecting any area WILL bring up the call record as normal.
I must have deleted\edited\corrupted something..........but even looking through back-ups, can not find a clue!
Otherwise, any clues on JUST a plug in dialer (everything I find seems to be a full package with today and other stuff) - I like the dialler on the TYTN2 - both for size and colour and am trying to replicate this if possible.
Colours and size are good for tapping when driving as here in UK must NOT hold a phone as illegal!
ANy clues on files/which registry keys hold the colours for the HTC keypad etc. would be useful as doesn't seem to be HKLM\security\phone\skin[/QUOTE]
