First name first not surname

Does anyone know how to do this within the contacts? Personally I would like the option to look up contacts via first name etc.
Also, does anyone know how to sync with a Motorola V3?
Thanks in advance.
Crash.

Workaround
A workaround:
Open each contact in Outlook, and change the "Store as" value..
(Default is "Surname, firstname")
Then save contact and move along to the next one..
A pain in the a** if you have a lot of contacts..
There might be some tools out there though..

What about a solution WithOUT the outlook workAround?

you can save the persons whole name under one section. eg first name 'steve dibs' last name ......
just click the down facing triangle then enter the name in one of the sections.

ps i feel your pain

Or use a different PIM, most give you the sort option in there contact list

it's probably not what you want i know but i gave up with contacts list when i got this app from this site ,it is a fantastic little app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11120

perhaps someone who is good with reg hacks might beable to help
i was told this would be an area to look in for changing the last name first name lay out of contacts in my Imate jam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AddrBook
however i know extremely little about changing registy items.
set Display name in Contacts
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName
this was apparantly one for changing the display for another device
so i was kind of looking for something similar but it eludes me
any help would be most welcome by alot of people id reckon, me for sure anyway.
comments about switching contacts managers are unwelcome....i havent found another which i feel intergrates well.
thanks

excellent! not quite what i was after in terms of usage, but does the required function
"FileAsFL.arm.CAB v 1.0" is the cab to get it in the ver last post.
doesnt actually automatically change the way it displays the name, however it does let you change the way it is viewed after an entry has been made. so after you enter the name you need to select it and choose file as from the tools menu in contacts....or just "ctrl A" to select all then change the file as from tools menu.
very nice simple work around.
thanks

http://www.shubaroo.com a Norwegian site has made this little program http://www.shubaroo.com/Kontaktfiks_ppc_installer_v1.2.CAB
Install it and open the KontaktFiks from your program folder
Do as in the picture, and that will fiks all yor current contacts to "First Middle LastName"

@Bosjo
does that program make all new entries file correctly as well?
Speedn

No, only the ones that are in the Adress book.

Do you guys want me to make an english version of this program?

Same here

English version is available for download at www.shubaroo.com
The new version also gives you the opportunity to add the Company name to the File As field. It will then file the contacts as: "Firstname Middlename Lastname (Companyname)".
The new version will only run on WM 5.0 devices. Both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones.

Hi, There is any registry patch that allow only to change the display ?
leelouch (HTC P3600 - S300+)

I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Change of Hardwarekeyboardlayout on WM6

Hi all,
I've still tried to change the hw keyboard layout to german with the following tools...
- German Input (Crossbow).cab
- German Input for WM6 by ZakMcRofl.cab
- German Transcriber by ZakMcRofl.cab
- Hades German Language Pack for WM5 v1.3.cab
But nevertheless the Hardwarekeyboard never changed.
Does anybody have a suiteable idea how to change the settings in WM6 to use a german Hardwarekeyboard?
Kind Regards
Seppl

Hi Seppl
Install Registry Wizard and select Keyboard Language "German".
I selected "Norwegian" on my Qtek9100, and it works fine.
Best regards
Rosseha

I know what you need to do, but I haven't done it in a while, so I can just explain it to you. You need to go into the registry and find the key for the keyboard (if it is currently english, it will say 0409). Once you have found that, change it to the language for the keyboard you want.
For German layout (QWERTZ):
Code:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0409 (String) (ORIGINAL)
Change to HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 0407 (String)
-Nstefanelli-

okay...
in HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\
are only the values
DefaultKeyLock 1
EnableIndicatior 1
InitialDelay 375
Muteswitch 1
RepeatRate 8
ShowWarningMsg 1
There is no string value Locale.
By the way, where can i get "Registry Wizard"

I have an Italian hardware keyboard and an English OS. I use AEKMap to remap the hardware keys. It work great! You can find the software at http://ae.inc.ru/aekmap.php with a lot of free remap files from users.
Remap files are here http://ae.inc.ru/aekmaplayout.php

Hi,
you have to create the key / value..
best regards

I've already created a new string.
Are you sure that it is a string value?
The Problem is I created it, rebooted (checked if the key is still there) but there is no change. When i press "Y" a "Z" appears ;(

XDA RegistryWizard
...it's a perfect solution!
it's simple, useful for tweaking registry and free

Hey AEKMAP is great
I had a Swedish keyboard and made the Swedish file remap.
If any one needs more details will be happy to explain or to make any file for your keybs ;-)

Hello and thank you for the hint!
It works for me with all the standard keys, like 'Y' and 'Z' and the punctuations. There is one thing left open though: when I need to type a German 'Umlaut' I was used from WM5 to type the letter, let's say 'a' and then the 'Sym' key, and it was creating a 'ä'. Now when I'm doing this, it creates a 'à'.
Hope these characters make it to the posting correctly
Is there any additional hint on this?

in wm6 roms the sym.txt is named sym.0409.txt
so just rename a german sym.txt in sym.0409.txt
or take mine.
just use the hades german language pack and copy the sym.0409.txt to the windows folder.
steph

Thank you! Will try that ...
I have found another approach which I'm going to try.

{Solved} Kaiser harware keyboard keys remapping

All keyboard layouts are hardcoded in keypad.dll.
Look any any hex editor at offset 0x1d8c0 (in current version of this dll, but can be easily found in newer released - see screenshot).
It contains national characters in unicode (like russian ones), FN+ combinations, etc.
Now you can map keys the way you like.
Hi! Does anybody know how to remap keys in english layout the way you like (for example, dvorak layout?) Also I would like to change some FN+key to my very own. I know there is AEKMap software, but I'm curiuos is it possible to make it editing some files (dll or configuration or registry) and flashing them with ROM (or just overwriting in \windows folder). The first and simplest task to start with I would like to remap FN+Q to print @ symbol (instead of !), and FN+W to print ! symbol (instead of @). Who knows how to do that?
p.s.: and what cwslayout=1 registry key is actually for? i've googled for "CWSLayout" and found nothing but links to our forum

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\KEYBD]
"CurLang"=dword:0000040c
"CWSLayout"=dword:00000000
this is for french vesion, so "CurLang"=dword:00000409 is for english, and "CurLang"=dword:00000804 is for CHS, OK, change it to what ever you want.

i'm not talking about layouts... I'm talking about mappings. imagine i want to make a dvorak mappings for wm. this is what i need to do... imagine i've opened my device, and changed all keys in hardware- so instead of qwertyuiop you will see poiuytrewq for example. and want WM also print correct characters as i made in my new hardware keyboard...

i'm going to take my first step into hex editing. can you recommend hex editor freeware and setup-free ?

I have no idea about what CWSLayout really mean, but it's just solved the problem of "FN+Q to print ! ...". I got FN+Q to print @ since I set CWSLayout to 0.

I also have dutty's rom which is in English, but my Kaiser hardware was bought in HK, meaning the original OS was in Traditional Chinese. Whenever I type Fn+S, do not print _ , but print " , i want to fix it so that i type Fn+S Kaiser can print _, just like the keyboard shows.

im gonna take a stab at it and CWS probably stands for Cingular WirelesS... Even though its now att the CID is still CWS
SO, if you dont have an ATT tilt, then i would suggest either setting that string to 0, or deleting it!

I think that I have the same problem.
I am completly new to this, and I appreciate any help.
I live and work in China, and I just bought an HTC TYTN II (it is the Taiwan version) and some of the keys are different from my friend's Vodafone 1615. I am trying to figure out how to flash the phone into English, and it seems that when I will do that, that some of the keys will not do what is printed on the key itself. Can anyone tell me what to do? Is there a specific English Rom flash for my phone, or will I need to learn how to re-map the keys after I flash it to English, or should I just take the phone back (My phone is still brand new.) and trade it for the Vodafone 1615? I like the look of this TYTN II that I picked out better, but if I am going to have to put up with keys which don't match correctly, then I prefer to just trade it for the Vodafone.
Thanks for any help.

but it's just solved the problem of "FN+Q to print ! ...". I got FN+Q to print @ since I set CWSLayout to 0.

I had a similar problem, just that FN+Q would print @ and not ! even though ! was what was printed on the keyboard.
i didnt find a CWSLayout string so i made one and set it to 1 and now it finally shows up on the screen just like how its printed on the keyboard.

Hi, bringing up the old post, but it might shade some light for others with similar issues:
I have a QWERTY layout, but it appears that although "Y" was in its place - some of the "Fn+" characters were not:
Q W E R T Y
@ ! ? / # 1
As I see from the posts above - you guys has "!" mapped to "Q".
Now - on my Kaiser, although with English layout, the Function + characters are mapped differently. And you have the paramenter CWS set as 1?
I had it also, and I mistyped most of my Fn+ characters (Fn+Q = ! instead of = @ and so on...).
(thanks to you and these posts) I set CWSLayout=0, and did a soft reset.
Now - I have an @ in place of Q and all the other characters mapped according to my hardware keyboard.
Once again - thanks.
p.s. - I just wanted to "elaborate" a bit more for the guys with this issue so it could be more clear...

set pointui/cube as HOME?

hello,
by default - holding the red phone-hangup button brings me to today-screen.
but in my case i don't use the windows mobile today screen at all! i installed pointui - as autostart.
i hardly have any reason to go to the today screen.
can't i change this behaviour somehow ? when i hold the red hangup-button i want to go "back" to pointui - not to today-screen.
in case there's no solution like that - is there at least some kind of today-plugin that could bring me back to pointui home ? maybe so alround-lauch-exe-plugin ?
by the way: i'm talking about WM2003SE!
thank you!

I'm sorry that I do not know the solution to the problem. Please, next time you post, do not make a misleading title (! instead of ?) in the wrong section.

If you can post your device i can tell you if you can use the Long_End.lnk trick.
I can then also move this thread to that device's Forum.
A good start would be to contact or check the PointUI website/forum to see if the home.exe accepts a parameter
(home.exe -h)
To return to the home screen
But the Long_end.lnk does not work on all devices.
Will put this into the general forum as Pointui does not have an active development thread here.
Attached you will find a shortcut file.
Change the .txt to .lnk then copy it to the windows directory on your device. Hold down the read Call Button and keep it pressed.
This may or may not work on your device.
But there was no information about your device or rom either in your signature or post which makes it hard to actually give a good answer to your question.
Cheerz

hello,
the device i'm talking about is a magician.
i changed the Long_end.lnk - to the correct path of Home.exe and copied it to \WINDOWS <---- really windows ? no subfolder ?
i tried - does not change anything. anyway - thank you for the info!
another idea ?

Yeah magician i'm not sure if it has a rom that supports this function.
Touch, Kaiser and some others do. It's hardcoded to the Keyboard driver or keypad driver if i;m correct so i'm not sure it's use able in the Magician.
Oh BTW it should have been Long_End.lnk (Yup no subfolders)
But i have no other suggestion, maybe someone else has.

Sent Items folder show the From field instead of To ?

I guess this is more of a WM6 issue but since I'm having the Raphael I posted it under here.
The thing is as you all could read in the Title that whn you want to check your sent items folder it only show you your own address = From fileld. This makes it very difficult to find the proper mail you looking for.
Is there someone who nows a registry tweak for this or even better a .cab file you can post?
Cheers
