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.

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.
Just found another problem with my TP2. I want to move some files to another location but I cannot select multiple files in File Explorer by draging the stylus to highlight them.
Is this behaviour by design or is there a bug on my device?
Shd be by default. Pls correct me if I am wrong.
I use resco for multiple file selections.
Simple.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
It works! Thx Monx!
No problem. If the avatar is you, what about gimme a simple kiss. if it not u, pls dont. i'm not gay. but ur avatar is really cute . sorry off topic. just cant resist
(you know i'm kidding)
I also was looking for this solution.
And indeed, it works.
But it introduces another problem: To switch between your mail account, you can swipe from left to right.
But after this patch, that doesn't work anymore
So I've put the old setting back.
@ronh
can u give more details about email switch by swipe mate?
in manila or messaging app? mine is just fine. maybe there is some tmob customization.

It's in the messaging app, not in manilla.
When you're in the messaging app, and you move your finger from left to right, it toggles between the configured mail accounts.
In mine TP2 for example: Outlook - Gmail - SMS (and then it starts over with Outlook.)
And although my provider is TMO, I have an unbranded Touch Pro2 WWE edition.
@ronh
Ok mate, got it, thanks (i always use navigation pad with raphael to do this)
Just for info, in wm6.5, we can swipe to switch between tab (iehone settings). So it cause a side effect in messaging.

Indeed, that's a problem.
The Xperia I had recognized if you are using the finger or the stylus. When using the finger the application scrolls and when using the stylus you can draw a frame to multiselect items.
Maybe that's possible with the TP2 too?

Maybe it is related to OS build features or AKU changes.
Surely by disabling that reg key you're pretty much switching touchflo off?
So scrolling of anything in any WM apps (contacts, text messages, emails, calendar entries) will no longer work without using the scroll bar?
I just checked stock shipped Raphael (SEA 20764) OEMDrivers rgu, the value is set to 1 by default. And yes, messaging still scrollable to switch email account
I can still left< >right scroll between email accounts after this tweak.

after this tweak can you make a zoom to photos with stylus or rotate photos...????
You mean in photo albums? I have never been able to do either, even before the tweak.
I can double tap the image to enlarge it, or use the slider at the bottom of the screen to zoom in.
In any case, the inability to group files together in File Explorer is more of an issue for me than being able to rotate a photo (can always turn the phone 90 degrees instead), and the registry tweak has fixed that.
Very strange, just tried it again: With the patch --> no swiping, undoing the patch --> swipings works.
Too bad, I'd loved to have the best of 2 worlds like Mesquire...
(I guess she looks the TP2 lovely in his display )
Hi all,
The easy way to select multiple files in Explorer is the Windows way of selecting multpile files. Just press CRTL on your keyboard (you have one ) en select the files you want... It's Windows isn't it?

so weird! My TP2 suddenly lost it even with this set to 1
already tried rebooting: still nada.
UPDATE:
on further investigation, I found I can select multiple files only in some folders, e.g., root directory of the storage card, My wallpapers, Templates, files and folders directly under My Device, Application Data, Program Files...
but not files directly under My Documents, whether under My Device or storage card
UPDATE #2
The only way to have the ability to select multiple files in any folder AND keep left< >right scroll to switch email accounts is to set the it to 1, but not reboot. If I reboot with it set to 1, it behaves like the above.
Right now I have decided to set to 1 only when I need to select multiple files with the stylus, and change it back to 0 thereafter, or before a reboot. What a pain!

True
but I prefer doing in portrait - if I open the keyboard to use its CTRL key, the screen switches to landscape mode.
Hi guys, this is my first post, firstly I wanted to thank you all for your great advice that I have been reading over the months.
I have applied a wallpaper to my home screen a while ago but I fancied a change. I came to change it start>settings>today then the use this pic as a background tick box at the bottom. I loaded a pic onto the HD from my PC and tried to change the wallpaper to that one, but it won't, no matter what I do it stays the same. I don't even get the default HTC black one back.
I have a stock HTC rom, can any one help? Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks again
Go to Settings-->Wallpaper (in the settings manila tab).
If the picture is in your My Documents\My Wallpapers folder on your phone the pictures will then show up. If it is stored elsewhere eg Storage Card, select the More (left soft button) and browse to where the picture is saved and click on the photo you wish to use.
You are wanting to show the picture on your TF3D Home tab and not on the Today tab.
Thanks very much for your reply, sorted now, a simple oversight on my part, I feel so stupid!

Hello mate.. i just wondering how can i change back my Home screen with the original HTC black theme.. it seem my fon doesnt change back to the original one.. pls help.. TQ
Problem solve.. tq..
Hi all and sorry if this is the wrong forum. Please feel free to move elsewhere & my apologies.
I am using a rooted G1 with 1.6 and Open Home Full v3.5 and something odd has started with the picture crop tool.
I was able to download or copy / paste any picture to the sd card, open it up, crop it to the 640x480 dimensions and set as wallpaper. When I moved screens the picture would track behind.
Lately I can only choose one vertical screen width and when I move screen the picture doesn't move at all. This happens even if I have created a wallpaper with the correct dimensions.
Can't understand why this is happening. I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Open Home, using the Android Photoshop app, and just trying to set wallpaper from the menu button.
Any ideas?
Problem (I believe) solved
Hi all,
I believe that I have found the problem with this issue: Open Home.
I uninstalled it again, shut down & started the phone back up and tried cropping again - it worked just fine. I was able to select a wide area not just portrait.
To clarify: if I set a theme (like Cf's Hero) it's perfect. This only happens when I'm trying to create & set a picture that I downloaded to my phone.
I've written to Open Home's creator but so far haven't heard back.
Bummer. I really like Open Home and have been using it as long as I owned my G1 but this both sucks & blows. Hoping it's an easy fix.
Two questions:
I've had my Tmobile 2.1 TP2 for almost a year now, and this still stumps me: I have a crap load of ringtones. I want to save them to my SD card instead of my main memory, but when I go to set a ringtone, it doesn't give me the option of choosing the folder. It just goes to my ringtones/alerts from the main menu. How can I set a ringtone that's from my SD card?
Also, where can I go on the interwebs [website or xda] to find wallpaper SETS for the TP2 [a portrait picture that fits, and a matching or identical landscape picture]? I just got S2U2, and this flower and wrongly sized lake are killing me.
Thanks for your help in advanced. :]

First of all, place the ringtones in the root of the storage card, and it will recognise the ringtones in the Windows menu, I do the same thing
Secondly, try HDWall (just search) for Manilla, you can create high quality wallpapers with it that work for both Portrait and Landscape. You can also install Cookie's HQ Wallpaper mod with it, which makes the images even sharper!
For S2U2 you can just open the S2U2 settings, choose the Wallpaper tab and browse to your images/camera folder, and pick a nice wallpaper here! Super easy!
Thank you for the root thing. However, I'm looking for actual HDwallpapers, not the ability to create/implement them. Where can I find some?
