I've been using my Artemis for a week right now, and I must say I love the overall system !
One thing looks crappy to me: contacts.
I find it very difficult to dial using one hand only (expecially when driving).
I have hundreds of contacts (will be thousands in the near future)... figure it out using it from my car with no stylus looking for Doe, John:
- tap on contacts
- tap twice on "CDE" ... oh.. why is so damn small ?
- use the wheel to reach Doe, John
- press the blue button twice ... oh again ... this thing works as a joystick, and if not pressed correctly you will call your old aunt Dorothy in place of mr Doe !
So, I'm kindly asking to you WM5 gurus:
- is there an alternative way of doing all this process (keep in mind thousand contacts, so dont't tell me to use voice recognition)
or
- is there a way to make the "#ab","cde","fgh" buttons bigger ?
- disable the joystick feature and use just the wheel ?
Thanks in advance,
G.
There is the "Intellidial" on the phone pad that allows you to dial Doe with just 3 presses of the phone keys Press the green button to go into phone function. Press on 3,6,3 successively. Even before you complete this, the name would be shown on the screen. If there are more than one number stored under this name you can use the scrollball left-right to see them. After this just press the scroll ball to dial. Simple.
It would save you a lot of heartache (and less "spam"onthis site) if you would take some time to search and read this and other forums

wow ! Simpler than expected
Thanks !
Hi,
i installed B&B V4 today and it´s really great! Thanks to tom for this awesome work. Come over to germany and you´ll get some beer
macguffin provided me with the solution:
You can make contact manager work from any contact button (cube, soft keys, phone, anywhere that was previously the default app) by changing the following reg
HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS
0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"

OLD POST:
There is just one thing I`m wondering. Pocket CM is a nice app but it´s not fully implemented to the system.
I´m looking for some Tricks or Infos how to use Pocket CM in all situations. I managed to change the contact button from the Today Screen to start it.
Code:
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Default = Contacts
* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\pocketcm.exe"
Now i´m looking for the telephone and the settings for the touchflo cube.
Can somebody help me/us out?

Wow thats a fast replay!
If you are in the contact side of the cube and press the button for the contacts its allways opens the built in contact list, not Pocket CM.
Take a look in at the first picture, i mean the third button from the left in the lowest row.
And in the second picture i would like to change the contacts button in the lower left corner.

EDIT:
Jesus, its the perfect day! Thanks macguffin, its just great.
Works perfectly thanks for the solution. Now anyone working on pocketem - an email client replacement for M$ rubbish

It does work for those 2 scenario's, but when pressing the picture of a Contact in TouchFLO, it still display's the old Contact Manager

THink that's because the 'contact' buttons are all taking you to the contact list but the photos and going one level down and taking you to the contact information.
Don't think you'll be able to change this.
PS like your avatar
does anyone know how to add pocketcm.exe to the "exclusive" list of x-button? if i understand that correctly, programs in that list are not closed (just hidden) when pressing x-button. but how can i add an item to that list?
EDIT: ok, i found it. for those who dont know:
- run the tool you want in exclusive list
- settings/system/x-button
- select "running" tab
- tab the program you want. it needs a short tab (that was my problem. never tried short tab, always long tab *sigh*)
- choose "Add Exclusive"
I modify this with Resco but can you help me, i want to return with the original contact application
My current settings :
HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS
0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"
When I go into biotouch setting, I can only modify the 6 programs + media!
But I can't change the settings for the contacts.
I want my default contact list to open when I press contacts on the normal screen and my Pocket CM list when I press it in the cube.
Is this possible? How?
It seems that after doing the registry change to have pocketcm.exe as the defaut contact list, when you try to make a picture to associate it to a contact, the camera device won't initialize and the artemis bugs and starts running really slowly. Does anyone has the same problem ?
So, I thought I would come back to the original registry so I'd like the same information than Jack. What is originally instead of the red line in the registry ? (I changed it like previously mentioned to get pocketcm.exe as the defaut contact list but I can't remember what was written here before)
HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS
0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"
Thx for your help and once again great job Tom!
the camera bug is in the original rom (i mean original B&B4 by tom). there is a thread already for this. no solution so far, but tom is looking into it.
edit: btw, i think the correct registry entry is
0 CONTACTS
1 :MSPOUTLOOK contacts
you can see how it's done in other registry keys like HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - :MSCALENDAR
oh, I thought the camera bug previously mentioned was that you couldn't see the pictures after a picture was taken from the contact tab.So to me,even with the camera bug, you still can take a picture.
Mine is different : when i hit the litte camera icon in the 'associate a picture to your contact' menu, the camera won't open and the whole pda bugs. WHen I manage to close all applications in memory, afterwards it is impossible to open the camera from any menu, not even with the dedicated button on the side of the pda. The camera just won't initialize.
anyway, thx for the registry trick soardiac !

i have the same thing after freshly flashing B&B4. it was also this way in v4 beta. i guess camera application is just messed up. there are other things like GPS phoe or panorama photo that also dont work.
setting pocket cm as default changed nothing at all in my camera app. i am sorry if it did for you
oh, btw, this is the way i save pictures to contacts (even with all the bugs):
- make picture using "photo" mode and "M-resolution"
- after picture is made, click the preview button (magnifying glass symbol or whatever it should be)
- picture opens in preview. now click menu->save->save to contact
- done
works for me.
How would you change where the buttons on the touchflo cube point? Would it be possible to point the contacts icon on the cube to PocketCM instead of WM contacts.
Also, it would be nice to be able to keep the cube open behind the application you launch, so that when you exit, it goes back to the cube.
Sorry if this has been answered already, but i couldnt see it anywhere!
Thanks in advance,
Ben.
it has indeed been answered in another thread.
But especially for you: you can modify the Buttons via Biotouch in your Programs.. The Cube can't be held open. I guess it would eat a lot of Memory anyways..
Thankyou very much for you reply!
However, I dont see anywhere in "BioTouch Settings" that lets you define the contacts button that you get below the 9 quick dial pictures. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Ben
oh, this one you can't change afaik. The contacts page on the cube seems to be the program itselfes and if you click to the contacts symbol it changes the view to the contacts program.
read tom's first post of his B&B4 thread. he added a big list of how to change stuff. one of the entries reads:
"Want Set Pocket CM to default contacts ?? ----> HERE<------"
click it, read it, be happy
I've been flashing and cooking till I've forgotten how the original file structure looks and where the app shortcuts are located.
Basically I'd like to know...is there an Office folder shortcut in Programs or is it just in the Start menu? Can someone with a phone handy do a quick check for me? thanks
quick answer....
in start menu

yes ,
well, actually it can be put wherever you want it. go to settings and then menu and just uncheck the office mobile icon and it will then appear in the programs menu
Awesome! Thanks guys. My rom is almost ready to be served
Hiho,
the more programms you install on your TP2, the longer the startmenu will be. Rolling throug this can be a realy long way. So I wanted to create some folders to minimize the menue and make it easyer to work with, but I didn't succeed. Isn't it possible to create folders in the startmenu of TF3D?
Regards
Balu
I hated the All Programs in one list.
As you already mentioned, it is a pain when the list starts growing, and you want to start something in the middle or near the end of the list.
So I was eager to get the old "All programs" back, in columns and rows.
I found a .cab file in this thread, and that works for me!

Use the default Windows Mobile's Start Menu! Press and hold the Call button over TF3D, after the Start Menu will popup. You can create folders to the "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\" dir.
@ronh: Great thing - I even like that one. Thx a lot!

Could you explain this further? Is it something that should work without any tweaking?
if you assign to long press call button the start menu, it will open the original windows start menu, not the manila one...
Brilliant, thanks. I'd never looked in the buttons settings because of the lack of hardware buttons! It's a shame we can't assign the speakerphone mute to something when outside of that mode.
