How to use letters as shortcots on Start menu

On WM5, my excalibur had the following feature:
In the Start Menu, when icons were displayed, you could hit the key that corresponds to the icon to launch the right program, thus:
q w e r
a s d f
So pressing 'd' would launch the program whose icon is on the 2nd row, 3rd column.
On wm6.1, at least my version, you can also use shortcuts, except that now you use numbers. So 1 is first icon, 2 second, and so on.
I really liked the keyboard scheme.
Does anyone know if/how one can turn this option on?

Touch Keyboard is possessed

I have an ATT Tilt2 with stock rom.
The pop up touch screen keyboard has decided that it will only go to the number pad and not the letters. I can change to full keyboard and that works as do all other modes but it will not go into full qwerty. Every once in a while it will switch back for a while then change back to the number pad.
I thought maybe one of the apps I was using was causeing this so I just played with emails and after a while it goes to number pad. If I switch to number pad is stays there and if I then switch to full qwerty it is still the number pad. I can not find a toggle for it back to the letters.
Changes:
Set the suggest words at 4 in HDtweak
Did the following Registry changes:
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Any suggestions what I should look at? Am I missing a toggle somewhere that flipps back and forth?

is there a way to put 2.1 dialer on 2.5?

I just the leaked rhodium euro 2.5 rom. Very fast and very stable. However, it uses a new dialer skin. Well not the dialer exactly but the incall screen. The standard incall screen for the rhodium stock rom had a a few options as soft buttons: Calendar, and notes specificaly.
The new skin doesnt have the option to view the calendar at all and the create note option is in the menu. this is less usable than the old version and baffles me that they changed it.
In anycase, does anyone know how I can change that back, or add those soft buttons?

Any ideas?
I would really love to port that old call screen and function over to the new sense 2.5 rom

[Q] which is the Fastes ROM for calling John Doe?

Hello to everybody.
I'm trying to find out which is the fastest ROM ICS based for doing the following, where fastest means less number of touch on the screen or number of seconds before getting the desired result:
Call John Doe, when you have in the agenda also John Dui, John Ash, John Bone, John Cut and may be some other John as well as some more Doe (Albert, Stefan, Nat).
And then the same for opening the screen into input mode for sending him an SMS.
I used to have also Blackberry (oh yes, nice email reader but not very nice phone/smartphone), but with it, in every point of the user i/f calling John Doe would mean:
press the red button, press J, press space, press D.
I sow different behavior depending ont the ROM on the phone, but before trying all of them, if anyone can post his result it would be very appreciated.
thanks
Luca

Mate, you talking about speed dial or something?
As far as I'm aware there is no speed dial in the stock ICS or Sony dialers. Most if not all custom roms for ARC either use the Sony stock dialer or ICS stock dialer.
There are a few ways however that you can overcome this:
* On the dialer you can select "contacts", long press on someones name and select "add to favorites". Do this for every one you need. Then on the bottom right of the dialer, select "groups" then "star" on the top right. There will be a screen with all the people which you have added to "favorites". When you touch them you have the option of calling or SMS'ing them.
* You can also go to the Google Play Store and search for "speed dial" and download an app to set your friends on the speed dial list or speed dial widget if you want them on your screen. You can then call or SMS. Widgets are probably faster as you can have all people on the screen without opening dialer
* Probably not when your looking for but typing the first few letters of the name of the person on the dialer will bring up their name. You can touch once to call or press and hold the name for the option to send sms.
P.S You seem to have a lot of friends named John

The new ICS has a feature where you can start typing s name and it will narrow it down for you. Or just add them to favorites

@adielee
not speed dial, just a faster and intuitive dialler.
@irononreverse
something like this. May be the right question would be: which is the most intuitive and fast dialler, and feature rich?
I mean, press home button, touch receiver icon, then touch 5 (jkl), touch space, touch 3 (def)
I'm using today boosthd rom, and in the dialpad is not possible to touch "space" (may be I was not able to find the method)
Also in this rom, it is possible to order t9 selection based on name first or number first (by means of the option screen). But it is not possible to show ONLY name or ONLY numbers. This means that the list by touching 2-3 digits is really long.
anyone else have other ideas/solutions/suggestion?
thanks
Luca

I've been using Google Search app/widget for quick contact access on stock ROM, what I do is I limit searchable items in it's settings to just contacts, and when you start typing, it will act just like quick contacts search.
And you can always use voice search command, launch Voice Search and say "Call John Doe"

[Tasker][App]SGSII Reject+SMS

Hello. Since I noticed our little gingerbread stock ROMs/custom based on GB don't have Reject call with SMS or to set a timer to remind us to call that person I decided to create a app to do exactly that
Instructions:
1) Install your version. PT is for Portugal, E is for English.
2) Go to app drawer and run the application. It will say "Application SGSIICall started". Now it will be in your system running as a background process.(~8mb)
3) If you want to simply stop it, go to the new configuration menu and click on the "V" arrow on the SGS2Call Status to disable it.
3.1) If you want to really close the process(and therefore wasting battery), go to Settings->Aplications->And stop it.
Auto-updater Notes:
1) Slide the finger to the right(over the arrow), it will open the button to access the autoupdater.
2) On the autoupdater you have the Magnifying glass so u check for new versions, if theres one avaiable another button will appear to download it.
3) On clicking the download button it will automaticly download the file, unless theres no internet connection. If tahts the case, a error will show.
4) After the download is done, it will prompt you if u want to install the new version.
Note: On 2G network it will take more then 30s to download. On 3G around 5-10sec and on Wifi around 1-3seconds. (My own tests). Also theres no warning the the file is downloading. If you pressed the button and no warning appears in 1-5 seconds then the file is downloading. I'll try to make smth for this in the next version.
How to use:
1) Drag your finger where the arrow is pointing(up) [The starting point is the arrow, of course].
1.1) Menu: 4 custom buttons to auto reject the call+send a sms depending what u have choosen(work, playing, eating, studying)
1.2) Timer Button(Clock Icon): Set a time that u want to call again. It will reject the call after u set the time and push the "V" button. Later it will pop up a notification depending on the time u set, and if u click the notification it will auto-recall the number u rejected.
1.3) Custom SMS Button(SMS Icon and a "+"): It allows you to set your own custom SMS.
2) When receiving a call, you can face your phone down(for 1-2 seconds), and it will auto-reject the call and send a sms saying you are busy at the moment.
3) If you want to drag back(recoil) the SMS menu(go back to the menu with the arrow) - Long press on any Menu item(working, studying, etc) and choose the "V" arrow.
4) To access the new Configuration menu, you just need to click on SGS2Call icon on the app drawer
Exceptions: Not exporting the app with exceptions anymore, since the new update (1.6) you can select to disable individual parts of the app.
Permissions:
Disable_Keyguard: To enable app when a call is received.
READ_PHONE_STATE: To know when the phone is facing down to reject the call.
Receive_BOOT_COMPLE: To start at boot.(i think)
Modify_PHONE_STATE: To add the notification to your status bar, to call the person.
SEND_SMS: To send the SMS.
WRITE_SMS: To write the SMS.
CALL_PHONE: To call the person if you click the notification.
WAKE_LOCK: To wake the phone if any action is done.
I don't want thanks or anything, just a simple feedback would be awsome Thanks!

Changelog v1.8:
-> When you choose to write a custom message or set a timer to remind u to call that person, it now silences the phone, when you finish it puts the phone back to max volume. (This shouldn't take effect if ur phone is already on vibrate - please report if it does) - Also maybe on 1.9 I will make it to save the value before it silences the phone so it returns to normal.
-> Some minimal change to the configuration menu.
-> Answering bug that doesnt allow to answer the call fixed. (at least on my tests)
-> Fixed bug where disabling all the program wasn't disabling the "flip to reject call" option.
--> Also fixed all image bug not changing. (report if it still doesn't changes in some cases)
-> Added animation when you long press the quick SMS menu.
-> Added long press on some more texts/buttons for quick help. (more to add on 1.9)
-> Added some more animations in some menus.
-> Cleaned some unused code.
-> Fixed bug where in some phones clicking on "Custom message" would come back to that option on the next call.
-> Removed the delay when ending a call, it maybe look more ugly, but its faster and efficient.
-> Finally fixed a bug that comes since version 1.5. It only shows on dev-side but it would slow down the app a bit. (like 0,5%)
-> Small fixes on text aligments.
-> Configuration menu already lets you move on status bar. (It didn't worked on the PT version)
-> Now only avaible for 2.3+ versions. (if you need for froyo, please send me a PM)

-> Fixed auto-updater related bugs on beta phases(thx testers) - it now checks for new version and downloads the file without problems.
-> Auto-updater related jobs have some new testing effects.

-> Fixed error where it wasn't setting the actual and correct Version variable.
-> Fixed the out-of-place text on the configuration menu. (English version)
-> Fixed phone reboot.
-> Fixed bug since version 1.5 where it showed a warning.(only for developer-user)

----> Added option to re-start the app, if it's getting buggy. (if its a bug even this option can't fix, stop the process and open it in the app drawer again)
----> Mini crash protection for the configuration menu
----> I know it has some text higher then others, will fix in the next version.
-> Increase in performance when receiving calls, now its faster for the app to show up.
----> Bug of a scene already existing(user-end didn't see this message, but it reports on android dev-part)
-> This version is mainly towards the new configuration menu, I had to re-do everything again for the English version, so if any bad translations, portuguese words or missing parts are found, please report them as soon as possible for me to fix them! Thanks!

Yes, try it. Install the App, then go to App drwaned and run the App. You will get a flash message saying: "Application SGSIICall started". Then when you receive a call, the app will appear, and you have 2 buttons: Acept call and reject call. If you LONG PRESS the reject call button, you have option to send quick sms or to set a timer to end the call and remind you with a notification when taht time arrives

If you download pleas leave a reply, some people aren't saying anything
And if you can contribute with nice looking icons would be cool!

Already totalling around 50-60 downloads. Not bad
Updated to version 1.4. Crucial bug fixed.
Updated changelog aswell.

I have no idea. I'm running StockLite 7.1 with battery extender 1.2 and it installs just fine. Also my girlfriend using it on stock 2.3.6(galaxy gio) and it's working fine aswell Maybe you don't have select install from unknow sources? Go to Settings->Applications and select "Unknown Sources".
