Anyone know how to save the default file type for contacts to display first name then last name?
+1 for that

That won't work for contacts I add manually on my phone or when someone sends it to me via bluetooth.

Just use the CAB that Zelendel posted above. It's by Shubaroo. Works great and has been around for quite sometime.

Hi Guys,
I tried doing a search but i cant find any threads on this.
Does anyone know how to save all your settings before u do a flash? settings like the emails settings are pretty time consuming as i put in nearly 4 email accounts. It would fantastic is i could just copy a single setting file each time i flash the rom .. that way there will be less inertia to reflash again
You need to do a more thorough search next time

thanks man.. but actually was just looking if there is a single setting file for the email accts .. i dun really need all the other settings to be saved as i run my phone pretty bare..
i dun suppose there is a single file that you could just copy and paste over is there?
Nope sorry. The settings are all contained in different areas of the registry.
That program is about as elegant as you can get.
There is a way of making your own .cab file for these settings so that you only have to make that once, then re-run it when you flash your phone to get all your settings and stuff back. There is a thread somewhere about how to do it.
I've had a brief look myself but not yet got around to doing it - i'll have another look this afternoon and see if I can work out how to do it easily and post a guide for everyone else.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Woohoo!
Just noticed that that was my 100th post and I'm now a senior member - about bloody time ;-)
Does this mean I have to do my own ROM now? ;-)

There are several threads on this forum abous this. Just search more.
For now try to use my example here that sets my POP3 and Exchange accounts. Just put your own data in and load it in a XML loader or make it a .cab file.
cheers,
dan

PM me and I will walk you through making your own cab for them. fairly easy.
Thanks
I'll have a look for myself first and do some reading - I always find that if I do that, I can do it easier next time round as I "know" how to do it and what's wrong when it doesn't work But I'll definitely take you up on your offer if I get stuck

Can someone please tell me how to fix the following?
If I am on the homescreen [Kavana 6.1] and I want to call someone, I will type in their name. If for example I want to call someone named Jill, I can type it out and it will appear on the screen as "JILL" and match up to the proper contact. However, if I type a name like Sammy, it will alternate between letters and the numeric keys to produce something like "4#.."
How can I change this?
same thing
i had the same thing happen to me earlier but the name that i was looking for was in the list too so i just selected it. no biggie.
I highly don't think there is a fix.
hhaha
i just noticed your signature mikey....you rule

hmmm...I just might have to try it out
Even the "rose" rom does it. Sorry NRG lol
I have the rose rom and i tried looking for "Jenn"
What is going on is that if the letter falls on a number in the search field, it is defaultet to showing the number. The phone thinks you wanna enter a number to dial.

If Vito no longer supports this download, is there an alternative? I've spent hours now chasing bill$**** links trying to get a copy of this software. When I do find a link to download, I get redirected here; http://www.artelplus.com/
This is killin my Excalibur buzz real quick.
Try here: http://tinyurl.com/vitocopypaste
Then click "External Mirror 1", on the right.

If you can't find something another good place to try is http://search.4shared.com/network/search.jsp as most members store there files there.
Ok. Hopefully this helps anyone else in my position.
I was trying to copy & paste my wep key for the connection setup. Every time I opened it (.txt) I assume Word opened the file by default. Even after installing Vtio, nothing happened. I could not get copy and paste options in the menu. For the hell of it, I opened Notepad, then opened the file from there. Once I figured out that "mark" was the "select text" option, it was seamless. Apparently Vito doesn't work with Word? Who knew?
Thanks for the help. If there is a way to copy & paste in Word, and I'm just missing it, please post up. Now that I have this resolved, I will be playing with the Excalibur more. The Kaiser certainly has more features, but I can text twice as fast from the Excalibur keyboard, and it's smaller/lighter. I'm sure I'll have more newb questions as I play more with the Ex.
Hello,
Whenever I get a picture sent to me via MMS, it shows it as a slideshow. This drives me crazy and I wish it didn't.
I've Googled it so many times and looked everywhere but haven't been able to figure it out.
I found this thread for a Note2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2221045
Adding this into system/csc/feature does the trick.
<CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>true</CscFeature_Message_EnableMmsOnePageViewer>

But I'm not sure how to apply that to my SGH-i747M
Please help!!!
I've read that some people just get a different texting app, but I'd rather just fix the stock one. Unless there are some other benefits that I don't know about.
Thanks!!!
Most of the rooted stock roms found in the development section have this fixed.
Is there any way to fix it on the stock ROM though? I'm rooted but don't have time to look at changing Roms right now but would just like to fix this one issue.
The best solution I've found is to ask the sender to just send the picture and not include any text. If they do this, I will come through as just a picture that you can pinch and zoom. This is a hack, but works and is better than nothing.
I guess I just figured that the Note2 and S3 are similar so the fix would be easy to apply here, but I guess not.

Just add that line of code to /system/csc/feature.xml

Unfortunately you need to be rooted to edit feature.xml.

Perfect thanks! Before I go and do that, is it as simple as using Root Explorer, finding feature.xml and adding that line in?

Yup. Just add it in the "Message" section. Actually anywhere is fine, but if you add it as the last line in the message section you will be able to easily find it again.

I just went to do this but I don't have a feature file in that location which was my original problem... I thought you had given the correct location for the file on the S3. Any ideas where it would be?
I just looked at others.xml in system/csc and there is similar language to the other hacks listed in that thread.
Does anyone know if that is the correct place for out S3s?

Curiously, this happened to me a week or two back. Changed from newest first to threaded mode all by itself, though actually the setting was still set correctly. Just had to resave the settings.
I'll report it to the backend guys though.

Right, ok, thanks. Actually as I remember when this happened to me, it said thread deleted top left on all threads so I don't think it is really showing deleted threads.

I've had this happen too. But for me, it seemed it was a specific mobile browser issue. I switched browsers and it was fine. Never touched my settings.
And yup, everything said deleted. Really confused me at first. Lol
And a note, going back to that browser after awhile, all was fine. Go figure.
