1) To edit the contact link Total Commander isn't needed. Use resco explorer, Action, Open Widh, Notepad. Edit, then Save and exit Notepad
2)I've mapped the right key to SEND SMS to the contact
I've copied and renamed, using Activesync, all Dial_Contact**m.lnk located in \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\ as SMS_Contact**m.lnk (** stands for contact's phone number)
I've opened and modified the shortcut as 44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+xx-xxx-xxxx" (XXXX stands for the contact's phone number )
3) Using OLDSAP Favorites is easy to rename in CPhotoDial panel, SK2TEXT as Send SMS and the SK2URL to \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\SMS_Contact**m.lnk
DONE
ill add this to my next rom coming tonight

ah, heck i'll just flash the new rom.
The best way to test if the SMS_Contact**m.lnk works is to launch it from resco explorer. If it doesn't work may be you made a TYPO in the shortcut (forgotten " or UPPER/lowercase problem, double space or no space)
The Correct debugging is done opening the SMS_Contact1m.lnk:
1) LEAVE ONLY
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe"
SAVE AND LAUNCH, are you in the messaging application? YES
2) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
SAVE AND LAUNCH,are you in the SMS inbox? YES
3) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+1111"
SAVE AN LAUNCH, are you trying to send an SMS to 1111? YES
END
If any NO double check and repeat

i cant get this to work for nothing. lol maybe im missing something. i know ricky put it in his new rom but i just flashed maybe a few hours before he put it out.
so you just synced to your pc, copied over the Dial_contact**m.ink renamed it, edited it (on pc or phone?) then ran it to see if it worked?
nevermind i figured it out.
i had to move the # symbol from #44 to 44# to get it to work

more suggestions..
First.. I have to say .. Tx so much for all.. Ricky, Kavana.. and all others..
I have a suggestion, Ricky why u dont do like Kavana´s did with the keymap ?
There´s a problem when u try, using other keymap language, like portuguese, the problem is with the xt9 why u dont use et9 ?
Maybe Im talking a lot of bullshits, but I saw that u are using XT9 and when I change the language nothing happen,
could u check that ?
Tx bro!

Thanks for the break down, missed a space. Works great!!
It's very bad to see that people are using software that I developed for the Shadow: Photo Dialer, CHome Menu, etc... using all the icons that I moded with Photshop, even the same URL for Action Keys... and nobody gives credit for it.
I don't mind sharing software with people (that is why I put together a site for it) but some credit would be appreciated.
Everytime I use an idea from someone (e.g. Dialer using vjay dialer, cyberbuddha's interface tweaks) at least I mention that people in the description of the software.
What is this CPhotoDialer and does anyone have a screenshot?
It's this: http://freddyreyes.com/forums/index.php?topic=286.0
It's not "bad" to see people using it. It's not like you own the software. You just discovered how to tweak Microsoft's software. It IS bad that we're not giving credit where credit is due. But then again, this is a different forum, a different phone, etc.... Credit would be nice, but you don't have to whine about it I've created a few cabs myself with settings for people and not always credit for it. But then again, it's okay... because it's not my software
I was mad at it and wanted to express my frustration....
it's ok no hard feelings....

Freddy, here's some credit for you: Thanks a bunch! I'm using the hell out of my phone now, and quickly doing almost all the things I hoped I would with a Smartphone, and your tools are a really nice part of it.
I hope that our tinkering helps you in kind, and that you all get your own Shadow forum on XDA soon, so we can share more.

How are u doing ctrl+c and ctrl+v on ure evo?
it was a bit of humor copy/paste works fine. long click for popup menu while on a text field. same way with any HTC Sense rom.
Ive found this to be a decent replacement for copy/paste in CM6. it has some really cool features like being able to copy "text" from pictures because it's really just an ocr. I still prefer the Sense implementation, but that being the only part of Sense I like, it's not worth going back.
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.edwardkim.android.copyscreentextfree
This is the free demo. If you like it, there is a paid version.
im very very confused, are you guys serious that you cant copy/paste in cm? i can copy paste fine.....
I guess I explained it poorly. What I wanted was a better copy/select solution like HTC sense. One where u can select a word and search the word through Wikipedia or Google or w/e.
I know u can select copy and paste in cm6 but I was just looking for something better.
ahhh selection text, i get that
I have to agree that vanilla Android is sorely lacking in this department. This was something that Apple got right when doing it on the iPhone.

In sense you can copy just about any text you can see. Long press in a forum post, or any website, and you can copy the text. In CM you can only copy text that's in a text input field. I run CM6, if I want to copy text from a post and paste it into a google search box I have to open a "quote post" window. I can't copy any text from just any website like you can in sense.
Gingerbread is supposed to have better copy and paste. As for right now, Swype has fairly good text selection (Swype from the Swype to the SYM key to see the special editing keyboard).

Hi all,
sorry if this has already been answered somehow, but how in the name of the Lord is this possible? Why is it that the Samsung phone application does not search in my address book also the LAST name of my contacts, but only the FIRST name?!?
I really fon't get it, why is it so difficult to make the search look in the LAST name field as well. It already checks the FIRST name, as well as the phone numbers fields, so why not the LAST name as well?
Can anyone answer to me, eventually give me a solution as well? And I mean not suggestions to use 1dial etc. I know about those ones..
Sorry if I missed something, don't start to throw rocks at me, I'm just very frustrated.
thanks all.
dont know if I understand what you want, but you can change the display settings in your Contacts (Menu > More > Settings > Order of display name and change to Last Name First Name), and then you can T9 search based on last name and phone number.

thanks a lot, this is what i meant. funny thing is that, in my case, even if i select order by last name, in the Phone application it still does not select persons from contacts based on last name field.
but anyway I wanted to be able to do the search based on all these fields, just like the HTC dialer, if you know. i guess that is not possible after all...
Hi
I'm on JM1, and the last name search works just fine on my phone. Maybe you just have to wait a while for the phone to index the contact list.

im on JPK and it is not working, but even if it had been working, would still not have been sattisfied. I would like smth similar to HTC dialer. I don't see why would Samsung create such a stupid way of searching in Contacts list.
Not to mention that it would be useful to search in last dialed list as well, just in case you have dialed a number, not saved it and need it later and you only remember it started with 0722xxx, for example. HTC dialer had that as well.
Try StarContact, t9 search with nice large buttons, searches first and last name, can even search company name. I use it all the time, but especially when I can't remember someone's name but can remember who they work for.

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?

Hi,
I can search in contacts app using the name of the contact. It works.
When I search for a number, search returns empty.
Say, if I have a contact ABCDE with number 333 444 6677
When I search for CDE, app will display contact ABCDE. When I search for 444, it doesn't list the contact.
I am coming from Samsung S5 and I could search contact using name or number.
Thanks for your help.

Type the number starting with the zip code. That's how the stock Google app searches numbers.

It is kind of annoying. I enter +1 for all my US numbers and I have to enter +1 when I search for them in Hangouts and in Contact app.
Phone app does partial incremental match though, from the Dialpad, but not the contacts search.

Right, I understand what you want to do. I was pointing out it could be done from the dialpad, which presumably has access to the same list of numbers as the contact app.
I'm sure there is some regular expression like area of code that tells the app whether to match starting at beginning of phone # field or anywhere in the phone # field so I think it would be trivial for them to modify the behavior, probably just a few character change in the regular expression.
I was also agreeing that searching numbers from the beginning of phone # field is even more annoying if you are in the habit of entering + and country code (so the same phone # works even if you are overseas) because +1 is even less natural to enter on a search when 90% of one's contact list has +1.
So my solution is to just search from dialpad.
Also, for me, if my contact's name is JohnABCDE Smith, I actually need to enter Jo... to find them in the contact app. I can't enter CDE like you seem to be able to.

Small correction. When I looked at it again, I see what you said is correct. My search string should be first characters of first or last or middle name.
