Reserved for Future use

WOW!!!!
This looks really great!
I will have to test it
Thanks a lot for sharing dude

hi again
this app is really promising and it is really fast. I love it!!!! And it has it own contact manager!! Finally! Because the default windows one was making me crazy
I would like to help you and translate it into french I will send you ASAP my translation dude
But I haven't seen any config tool in order to change the language, so If i want to put it into french on my device do I need to update your eng.xml and translate everything here into french ?

Thanks a lot mate Installed it and its looks Great But my language for certain parts has changed to Russian

yeh there are some translation missing foe the english version

Icontact only uses 848kb of memory usage ? But this looks very nice .
Hope there will be a dutch translation
I've just check the original thread and saw there already is a dutch version right? But only ment for VGA?
Will there be a dutch translation for the WVGA or can I just install the VGA version?

The Dutch translation for VGA should work fine. However the author who posted the cab modified the screen for the dialer so I don't know if it's going to work 100%. Please give it a try and let me know.

You can open the YotaContact.zip file that the cab creates and inside there is a Language Folder. You can modify the Russian one or create a new one for your own language.

Thick Question :
How is this different from PCM Contacts ?
It looks incredibly similiar.
What's the selling point ? More features ? Or is it speed / smaller footprint ?
I'm not questioning it's value...Some of you already sound like you are enjoying it. Just want to know what it does!

I've just installed the app on my touch HD and it looks better than PCM Contacts for me... the interface is very well designed, all functions are easily accessible: eg. search contact, edit details, add contact, etc... because there are more buttons... and i love also the little details for the contact and the switch from professionnal details to personnal details with the touch switch...
just 2 drawbacks:
- qwerty keyboard (azerty is missing, or it would be nice to have the option for the defaut SIP)
- some russian words (I,ve just seen the word for filter by "company" which is in russian)... and french translation would be very nice

Also, is this (and other Yota applications) Freeware ?

Sorting by First Name
Hi,
How do I sort the list by first name? I couldnt find an option for that. Please help me.
Cheers
SK

kudos!!! very nice. I may make this a required package for all of my themes

it looks like it is freeware (at least I hope... didnt see anything about prices...)
and here is the french translation and azerty keyb
I was very motivate

Thanks Dude !!!
I will check this right now

Looks very promising !

this is how the hd programs should have looked like and operated fromt he start.It's absolutely great and if the things on the to do list are done it will be a must in every cooked rom if not original ones I really hope there are some experts out there to help with that

the only way I have sorted contacts by first name is to put the WHOLE name in one field as opposed to first name field and last name field.

NEW! - Samsung i780 Dialer (128/96 DPI compatiable) 3g

Hi,
I've created a CAB file of the dialer from the UK rom.
It looks like this (Full Screen Size) in 96DPI mode (not small like the default A1/D1/C4 roms dialer):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
p.s the hebrew letters are since my phone is in hebrew the dialer will work on any WWE phone (never tried different languages, you can try).
Installation:
1. Just download the CAB file:
http://rapidshare.com/files/114173615/Nadavi_Nadavi_-_i780_3g_Dialer.cab
2. Install it.
3. SoftReset.
That's it
i like it better then the default one.
Limitation:
After the installation you will have to put all your ringtones in \My Documents if you want to use them.
Enjoy,
Nadavi
Hi Nadavi
Thanks for this - I'm using the MSHC3 rom that you posted, which has this dialer. However, I prefer the dialer that I had before (the default one) - would it be possible for you to create a cab file of the default dialer???
No probs if not
Cool, thanks
Amazing work.
Thank you very much. Now it would be great if someone could make a cab file of the new mouse drivers (the ones that suport right click function by press and holding the navigation button)
what is the point of having 1/2 the device a keyboard, when there is a perfectly working on-screen touch keyboard....
i hate these new devices with the tiny screens.... grr
because we need hold the phone......... using touch screen... lol
Nadavi, do you know how to edit rom file and include this skin directly in it?
when I install this cab I loose access to all my ring tone - cannot select in phone mode, alarms program, etc. after remove it, the rings are back again

Very interesting.

Simply put all your ringtones in \My Documents
And you will be able to select them again.
Nadavi.
talking about the keyboards..when you apply the 96dpi in realvga the keyboard becomes unusually smaller ... which is normal .. is there any skin/work around for making it a bit larger ???
thanks
Resco keyboard gives you a big and decent keyboard with 96dpi.....
nadavi
which hebrew software are you using? how do you get the right to left to work?

Excellent Fullscreen WVGA Stopwatch and Timer App

Here is an excellent Stop Watch and timer for our HD. It supports WVGA and VGA and English and Italian language. Has nice slick iphonesque screen animations. When you install it, it will be in Italian language. Just tap on the 3rd icon from the left on the bottom of the screen and then choose English language for English interface (3rd option down).
Here is a video: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=ZuyHf5iKKfE
Full public release now version 1.4
Every HD owner should have this. It just looks gorgeous and finger friendly.

Hi
nice one thanx
Great App!! Just some things:
First you please add that you need framework 3.5 for working, maybe add those files to your post for easy installing
Second: I would prefer a HTC Design, like this one : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=421812
Third: Please add ability to select different sounds
Fourth: Some scroll wheels for timer setup would be nice
and last but most important:
If you would add simple clock alarm (please 7 different alarms), it would be an amazing tool and would let me deinstall some other tools
THANK YOU
hans
Thanks, thats a cool and reliable stop watch.
But I'm waiting until a "not iPhone" skin is out.
I would do it myself, but I can't handle with this skin files
Thanks! Always handy to have something like this

Very good stop watch, but there is a very bad bug in this software (and I've seen this bug in other stop watches too). If the device goes to standby, the counter stop counting (or start to count very very slow).
Nice app

12 button HD action screen

Hi Everybody, this is my very first post and minor work for the HD. All advice/suggestions are welcome!
I have change and amend the graphic and layout of the action screen from ammar_12_button_HD_action_screen.
Basically, I don't have much knowledge on how action screen are being done, all I did was just design the layout and replace it with the original plus amend some value in the registry.
Thanks

By the way, do any of you guys can advice on how to link the manila V3 Contacts and Alarm's tab? Thanks
love it! thank you
Good work! Thanks!
I like that -
missed a way to toggle WiFi faster than opening Config-Maila-Tab and open connections.
(most other known programs don't work with the Touch HD - "WiFi not found")

Thanks, will try it out.
Use any registry explorer and go to:
HKLM\\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\
APP_0 for Email
APP_1 for SMS
APP_2 for FM Radio
APP_3 for Alarm
APP_4 for Task
APP_5 for Note
APP_6 for Contacts
APP_7 for Wifi
APP_8 for Bluetooth
APP_9 for Camera
APP_10 for GPS
APP_11 for Shutdown
Choose APP_10 and edit the path for your igo8 location or anything u want to replace.
Hi howeyeo,
I have modified App3 path to \Windows\Clock.exe (instead of G-Alarms) so that it runs on my HD.
However, this icon and App is not very usefull. We can tab on TF3D Home clock to do the same. Is it possible to replace by Calendar?
Thanks and congratulations for your nice job.
Really really NICE !!
Only missing calendar button TBH :|
really nice thanks
is this a .cab file ?
Thnks. Very nice!
Really nice looking...
...is it possible to edit to have fewer buttons? I would want just Camera, GPS, Alarm, WiFi, Bluetooth, Task, Note, and Radio (access the others on my home screen so kinda duplicated)?
And how to move the buttons around, change their order?
Thanks for any advice...
Anyone know how to edit to change order etc? Thanks for any help...
Hi !
The way to change is not so difficult, AFTER installation,
1°) Download on your pc the programm : BrnConvert.exe (from the web),
2°) Copy to your pc the file : AS_Bkgd_1.brn from : Windows\ActionScreen,
3°) On your pc, run BrnConvert.exe. It open a new window where you drag the file AS_Bkgd_1.brn. After conversion you obtain a new file : AS_Bkgd_1.bmp
4°) You edit the .bmp file with photoshop ...
5°) By the same way go convert your edited .bmp file to .brn file and copy back to your pc
The problem is how to make so pretty icons as the model ... you need to be sharp with photoshop. I've tried to make a calendar ... I give up
Have a good work ...
Thanks for this. Ok, this edits the images and so I can delete those I don't want to use (and I get your point about making new ones but I just want to rearrange and remove so I should be ok)...but how do I then map the correct command to the correct button (which I guess would have to be defined by pixel location)?
But I am experimenting with Chome editor and can add a programs page now for most things I want to run, biggest help would be command line for switching WiFi on/off...does this exist?
Regards
Stefan
Hi,
these icons are very cool! I love them so much I made a little [MOD] to fit my config, here's the changelog:
-Translated labels to italian (thanx puorro for MS Paint patient work)
-Redirected Alarm button to Klaxon Alarm in storage card
-Redirected GPS button to QuickGps
-Immediate Soft Reset (no confirmation asked)
Thank you howeyeo for your original (at least the icons) ActionScreen, are there any additional buttons we could use to better customize it? For example I would like a better symbol for Softreset(riavvio), the one I got means switch off.I'd love a RSS icon too Would be great if they were available.
Cheers
Nice 4 work & very n1 fx!
how I create a link in left softkey for action screen?

Remove horizontal dividers from WM6.1 Today

Hello,
I hope I am writing this to the correct forum.
I would like to remove horizontal dividers (lines) from Today screen of WM6.1
Have tried to search the net, bud I haven't found any clues whether it is even possible or not.
If not, is it possible to at least change the colour/transparency in registry?
Or size?
Thanks in forward for any answers!
I searched the forum and got this immediately:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475040
Thanks!
I must be completely blind...
>>>
Unfortunately, this does not work for me.
The registry entry writes OK, but with no result after soft reset.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"HidePluginSeparators"=dword:1
Anyone has any other solution?
That registry value only works in Windows Mobile 6.5. AFAIK there is no way to remove them in the old 6.1 versions. What we we used to do back then was to tweak the colors of the lines to match the wallpaper or use a plugin like RlToday or Ultimate Launch to host your other plugins.
PS,
Next time try the Q&A forum. You'll find more help in there.
Thanks for the answer.
One more question - where can I find colour settings for the separators?
You can use ThemeGenCE to change the color from a desktop PC and then copy the .tsk to your phone, or use UITweaker in your phone. It has many settings so you'll have to play with it.

Hello people,
I'm using (for a very long time) this very good application (running on PC) to alter *.tsk (themes) files for the Today Screen (non_TF3D_screen) ;
ThemeGenCE

Originally from a Française site I searched and searched until I found an english site from the original Developer; BenThon ;
http://pagespro-orange.fr/BenThon/IndexEn/IndexEn.htm
Con: This is a VGA based application, pictures loaded within a *.tsk does not look well on WVGA
Thus personally I do not use pictures within *.tsk files, just alter the overall settings, then use s-k-tools to fine tune it and add a picture when the *.tsk is running
You know what? That second application mentioned there 'MSCEInf' is neat for xda-developers (us)
Q: Why?
A: Rename the *.tsk to *.cab and drop it on MSCEInf
TiP: When a theme has a *.cab extension, do not install it; just rename it to *.tsk
Note: Both applications have their own kernel! Just Awesome!
There is an application capable of changing the Today Screen though its not free ware called S-K-Tools : :
Have fun with both (maybe triple if you buy s-k-tools ) applications xda-developer! know I sure did ,

No need to rename *.tsk to *.cab to drop it on MSCEInf ! MSCEInf accept natively tsk extension.

Swype keyboard for HTC HERO ?

Hy everybody.
I've seen in this NexusOne thread (Swype Beta Keyboard with fix for resolution pop-up) that Swype was available for WVGA devices ; thus not for our HERO (HVGA screen). I succeeded in installing it, but the keyboard does not show up
I've seen in another forum (Swype for HVGA Devices - *updated*) that a version for HVGA Devices was available. Unfortunately (at least for non english nor spanish people), this app does include ONLY english and spanish languages, while the first one above includes other languages, especially french (which I'm looking for ...)
Thus my question is : Would it be possible for a developper over there to build a Swype app for HVGA devices including additionnal languages ?
Thank you for your help.
wow, i just tried the english version and this keyboard is really awesome.
thx for pointing it out. ;-)
i unfortunately have no clue how to get new languages for this keyboard but i reaaly would love a german one...
try shapewriter keyboard
this keyboard is greaaat
Yay, now there is swype AND shapewriter.
Shapewriter kind of beat them to it I guess.
However, the HTC keyboard or the stock android 2.0+ keyboard kind of has an edge over these new ones for me: As you have your finger on the screen while writing, it kind of obscures the keypad.
It makes it hard to hit the keys, while regular typing does not have this problem: you lift your fingers in between (and the letter pops up, so you don't overshoot)
Too bad these both don't just use the default localization dictionaries.
Could anyone provide me with a non-torrent mirror?
I'd like to include this in my roms.
Thank you
just installed this and used it to send a text and wow, what a great idea!. Nathan if you can build this into your roms it would be amazing.
EDIT: Nathan I could email you the .apk if you pm me an email address.
what am I getting ? swype or shapewriter ?
Done my research and Swype seems the better option
ok thanks
i had the idea of searching for the language packs in the wvga version that are missing in the hvga build and i think i found them.
i have to say that i have no clue about building/(signing?) apks so i just renamed the wvga swype apk to zip and unzipped it. there were several additional language files in \assets\files for french, german, italian, russian.
but when i add them to the hvga build (see first posting in this thread), zip it, rename it to apk and try to install it on my phone the installation is aborted.
i'm sure i'm doing something completely wrong here but perhaps somebody can help who also would like to use other languages?

My installation of the normal .apk took a few attempts anyway so try again.
Other than that someone on here might be able to help
thx for your reply, i tried several times now but it's always saying that the application could not be installed on this phone. is this a signing problem?
ok guys, i just searched the forum a bit and found the autosigner thread. now i signed the apk with the batch signing tool and everything worked fine. the apk could be installed and german dictionary is working at the moment (first test). will test french too now...
okay french doesn't work at the moment because it seems that an other keyboard layout is used for this and this is missing in my apk file. i try to fix this now... but can't promise anything.

There you go
RS Mirror : http://rapidshare.com/files/349177967/signed-swypebeta.apk.zip
I can't get it to show up as the keyboard, I've enabled swype in the locale settings, what else do I need to do?
EDIT: Ignore, I just can't read.

Well personally I think we should thank Swype for a fantastic app, but really it is their fault for not releasing it on the hero.
i installed this last night from a link i found online somewhere, I really like it. Didnt think i would thought it would be weird but actually seems good. Getting used to it. The tutorial is really worth doing if your new to it.
