i got wm6 black and once i open SMS up..
the soft key on the left handside is "delete" i wanted to chante to "new"
can someone tell me how to do that please?
thanks.
This is asked for in another thread as well, but not answered I'm afraid. Seems like it's hardcoded in tmail.exe, so there's no way to change it like a normal softkey or in the registry or something.
The delete button is bugging me as well...
I have been searching for this in the registry but i can't find it. I want to change this softkey to new as it used to be in WM5, as it easier to press the softkey then go through the menus while in the car.
If any of the gurus out there can help out on this one..........................
There is a work around with this, if you use the softkey changer and apply one of your soft keys in the today screen to New SMS it will take you directly to a new SMS message. I don't you will find the solution that you are looking for without alot of trial and error. This might help in the mean time.
As Video calling has been disabled in the new WM6 Roms i have used the Video calling button on the Uni as the 'new' key which does get me around but its still so annoying where i am so used to pressing this button when looking at other messages to create new messages and now when i press it it asks if i want to delete the txt.

Yes., it's annoying. But what is really amazing is the utter twat that came up with this change and the equally dumb twats that said "Good idea! Let's do it". Really.
hey mike thanks for posting that little shortcut.

Your Welome!
I agree that it's frustrating that they changed the key to delete. I personally delete very few messages, and if I do I delete a whole batch of them in one go, the new button is one which I use MUCH more than delete.
Anyway, I was wondering if you might be able to help me with another issue which I'm having. When I open a message (email or text) it jumps down to the bottom of the page. Has anyone else experienced this, or is it just me?

This is asked for like 100 times, just use the search function on this beautiful forum, and your answer will be served right at your computer monitor
it's D-pad option in Pimp i enable.

My guess is that this was a customer-driven change requested by some of the huger Windows Mobile customers.
I'm not sure what is your background, but I am a "corporate type" and I receive about 100-200 messages per day in my Activesync inbox. I usually reply to messages rather than writing new ones.
I use the Delete key MUCH more frequently than the New key so this is a welcome change for me. Most messages are FYIs or system notification messages, or long threads (and I can read just the last message in the thread and then toss all earlier messages).
Have you changed the size of your scroll bars? if so change them back to default (13) i think.

Here's another preformatted shortcut. I found the one attached by Mike in post #6 just opened my Inbox. It was easily modified using the link he provided, but for the lazy ones among us! This one opens a new (blank) SMS, tested on my Exec running Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.02.02 WWE.
Unzip the file, and copy it to wherever you want on your device.

This only start the messaging application and go into the SMS view.
It doesn't start a new SMS ; at least not with my Schap's ROM with SMS/MMS combined.
EDIT: Works with the new .lnk file ; Thanks !
Thank you Mike the link to the Modaco site was the solution I was looking for. I created that sms.lnk shortcut and then assigned it as a softbutton on my today screen, now with one click I have a blank SMS ready for sending. Works like a charm.
Hi everyone,
I was wondering if there is a way to redirect the WM Live Search bar on the today screen to search using Google or any other site OTHER than the WM Live search.
Would the require a registry edit...?
Thought it would be more handy for me to use a different search engine on the today screen other than the WM Live one. Sorry if this has been posted up already but I searched and had no luck.
I'm using Faria's Custom V1 Rom with WM6 by the way.
Thank you in advance!

lol sure did, we must all be in a good mood today. I'm not one for flamming, as I've been a stupid noob before, and sadly searching isn't an ingrained behavior in this generation. I know my kids are going to be googling before they can even speak, but that's not the case atm.
Try my change which is also listed in that wiki entry. It will allow you to have spaces in the search term.
Any way to change it to YouTube?

Can you please help? I keep getting a pop-up warning (with this and the original search string) that "There is no application associated with {search string}. Run the application first then open this file from within the application. (where Search string is as defined in reg plus text that is being searched for.
Can you help? I have tried opening this search string from within PIE and it works quite OK. But that does not solve the problem.
EDIT: I HAD SOME OTHER PROBLEMS AND DECIDED TO HARD-RESET. ISSUE SOLVED SO I GUESS I HAD SOMEHOW CORRUPTED THE REGISTRY. I SUSPECT THAT UNINSTALLING OPERA CAUSED THE PROBLEM.
Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks
Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?
i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??
Hello All,
I think this is the right forum for my question. I'm using PocketInformant 8 and wanted to know if there is a way to change the "All People" soft button under the People tab to open PI8 instead of the default plain contacts program. I swore I saw a thread about this previously, but can not find it (my have dreamed the whole thing )
Appreciate the help!!
Use Manila Patcher (SSMaPa).
+1
and please try to use the search menu before opening new threads
You can use SSMaPa. I have my home screen patched with spb clock and Agenda One. Works great
THANK YOU ALL. I do have the latest version of SSMaPa installed and have successfully used it to modify the calendar link on the home screen. But have no clue on how to use SSMaPa to modify the "all people" button. Can anyone of you provide a clue?
Thanks!
I had the same problem trying replace the contact application. According to the author's website, the closest "replaceable program" is the poutlook.exe but I thought this is the email client so I did not want to mess with it. Is'nt contact application contact.exe? I don't see that listed in the link below:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Yes, some help from those more experienced would be appropriate in this case.
POUTLOOK.EXE is the contact manager integrated in Windows Mobile. THis is the good parameter to modify.
Thanks Wolfman017!!! I changed the POUTLOOK.EXE to PI8Contacts and it worked beautifully!!! That's just too awesome. Thanks.
Eaglesteve, this might be the answer for you as well.

I swear i saw it in some vid I even remember which screen the guy moved
it was the right-bottom empty screen, he hold it and started to move it around!!! i know its nothing, but its so annoying, ..its one of those things that you have seen and want to remember wheree and when

This poster seems to think they can do it:

You probably saw it on a vid of the N1 running Desire ROM.
I believe there was a mod on that ROM which allowed you to move homescreens around from leap.
It can be done but you have to move it peice by piece. Each widget can be moved so what i was reffering to is say the bookmark page can be moved to another screen.
You cannot change the order of the screens as far as I know, no previous android phone has had this ability and nobody Outside this thread has even suggested you can. I think some people may have confused the "helicopter View" that allows you to display all screens and jump directly to any screen with the ability to rearrange them.
yeah im reffering to being able to move any widgets. could start from blank and re-arrange it to how ever you want.
You can do this but only on the Desire ROM ported to the N1. paulobrien, the developer behind the Desire port, already told us that this "long press a homescreen and swap it around" trick isn't available on actual Desires.
He's getting a Desire, though, so when/if the Desire is rooted I'm sure you guys will get this feature ported too. Kind of ironic, no?

Yep! You simply press and hold the screen you want to change and drag it to the remove bin at the bottom of the screen. You then replace it by clicking the "+" button bottom right of home screen, and choose from the list of widgets. I put on HTC calendar and photo album as two of my 7 screens. It is SO EASY to use this phone!
I don't think you understand. He means the ability to move around each homescreen, widgets/shortcuts and all, without needing to delete widgets/shortcuts and putting new ones on. You're thinking about long-pressing a widget or shortcut, not long-pressing a screen.
What's being discussed is quite different. It's like this:
