Hello everyone,
I just upgraded my wizard to WM6 (NBD v7.8), and so far I'm loving it. There's just one thing bothering me. When I add a contact without a photo to the fancy quick dial thingie in HTC Home/TouchFLO it displays only the contact's first name - not a good idea, especially since I want to have 3 people with the same name on that list. Is there a way to make those apps display something different? The "Nickname" field would be perfect, but I'll settle for the full name or something similar
go to the contact you want to change, then edit it, then go to File as and enter whatever you want, from now on in your contacts it will show up as whatever you put in
I think you misunderstood, I don't want to change the way the contact is displayed in "Contacts", I want to change the way it's displayed in the "HTC Home" today plugin and the "TouchFLO" app, and the File As field has no effect on that.

Hi, this is my first post..
recently i buy a qtek9100 with wm6 blackdiamond3...
I don´t know much about wm6 or wm5 and for this i need some help...
i need to change the numbers format (i hate the actual format) in the home screen on wm6...
please help.-
Thanks..
First i would like to say welcome to XDA Developers, second when asking a question it helps if you describe exactly what it is you want to change,instead of being vague and saying the number format on the today screen
what numbers format,in the home screen?
Your home screen is what is displayed when you first turn on the phone from standby. To change anything on the homescreen like the plugins (htc Home etc) then just click start > settings > today > items then you can enable or disable what you like.
If you want to change the font of the main clock then download HTC Home customiser and that will allow you to change the appearance of htc home (which is the plugin that is displayed)
If you are in fact on about the dialpad when dialing numbers then you will need to install another dialpad on the phone.
finish i made the changes (only change the font type).-
Thanks a lot..-
glad i helped, just remember to make sure you explain in a bit more detail next time, i.e. say you want to change the font of the clock,not the numbers on the today screen.
has there been a way to change these yet?
such as contacts id like to have it launch icontact and the notes one to launch evernote
Yes, when I've tried different TouchFlo themes, some have changed, for example, the email button so that it opens a new email instead of opening the inbox.
Unfortunately I don't know how to do it yet, however my guess is that you need to search the forums about making changes to the 'manila' files that reside in your Windows directory.
In the short term, I can however tell you how to change the two landscape soft keys (I have one set to open a new SMS to my girlfriend - barf - and the other toggles wifi on and off.....

Hi
I've tried the search but I could'nt find anything because the words were too common. I'd like to change the behaviour of the people tab in manila 2D, so that when I click a picture it calls the person instead of opening up the contact file... I don't really understand why it does this anyway, because when you add a contact in the tab in the first way it asks you to choose either mail/sms or phone number, and even adds a little icon on the bottom...
Thanks everyone

I'm sure you've figured this out, but if you press on the bottom part of the contact picture (with the phone symbol or icon) it will call them.
I like the feature that when you tap the upper portion it open up contact info. If you want to text or email one of your fav contacts it's the easiest and quickest way to do so.
I could be wrong, but I believe this is a feature of M2D that is built in and can't be changed. Kinda like asking for a calendar tab, or stock tab.

Just for future reference, it is against forum rules to double post. I know you found the Manila thread, after you already started this thread, but you should have search before starting a new thread.
I would've actually switched between the option if it was up to me
clicking the picture should call the person and the bottom part should bring up the contact's page.

Yeah, I agree that would be better. Sometimes my big thumb hits the picture when I'm in a rush.
P.s. I have to apologize for a double post as well, I answered his question in both threads.
lol, it's alright.
anyways, if it's changeable, herg will know what to do.. i'll see about that.
my problem is the opposite of this.
when i clik the picture in the people tab nothing happens. but when i click the name it calls the contact. how do i make it work to bing up the contact info when i clik the picture.
thanks
strangely buggy... I've never heard of that before. It might be the skin. try changing it use M2D customizer and see what happens.
Ok, I have a T*Mobile HTC Touch Pro2. From the home screen you see a slider bar at the bottom. One of the tabs available is for the SMS/MMS program which if I understand correctly is Manilla. This program is nice but I'm very annoyed that I have to input ONE CONTACT AT A TIME when I send a mass message...which I do very often. So here is what I wanna do...
I want to change the tab so that it pulls up a new SMS/MMS program instead of manilla. Let's call it EXAMPLE_PROG as the app I just installed SMS-CHAT doesn't do MMS as well, so I need to find a different app that includes both AND lets me do some sort of checklist to add multiple contacts at once. If you know of one, lemmie know.
Anywho, I have a registry editor and I have edited my laptop registry before so I know a little of what I am doing and I know that changing things I shouldn't COULD brick my phone. Therefore, I'm asking for help. What do I change so that choosing the MESSAGES tab brings up EXAMPLE_PROG instead?
Thanks in advance for your help.

please I need too a solution for these
I like how I can make a shortcut of a certain person on your homescreen, but I don't like how I can rename it on the homescreen. For instance...my home phone and wife's cell is under one contact, so when I make the shortcut they both say the same thing. So I'm curious if there's an app or widget that would keep the similar style but allow me to rename it on the homescreen.
file this in the 1 of 2 things that do not exist for some unknown reason.
A good contact widget and a google voice widget are just non existent, IMO. I am not a developer in the least, so I think we are stuck wishing or settling for apps like:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/br.livroandroid.widget.contatos
I think it does what you want, sort of, but it just doesn't "LOOK GOOD"
This one looks better, but still not what I was wanting....
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.phonepony.frequentcontacts
Maybe?
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.moxier.swiftcontacts
Or you can just buy Launcher Pro, as it comes with an awesome contact widget (same as HTC Sense basically).
There was a "contact widget" that is very similar to this and I don't like it. Just looking for something that shows the profile pic and I can rename to "Home" or "Wife's Cell" instead of two instances of "Wife"
BetterCut solution?
You can do this with BetterCut ($1.99 in the market)... you can set up a direct dial shortcut and select wife cell # change the label to whatever you want, e.g. "wife cell" or "wife work", and choose an icon for it including a photo you've taken (make sure you crop the photo you want square first or it will distort when used as the icon)...
What I am not sure of is if there is anyway to tie it too the friendstream facebook or G-mail icon though...
Hope this helps you though
PS... anyone know how many posts I need in order to link or avoid the 5 min between post n00b restrictions? Obviously I can search for this too, just curious.
I just came across this. Thanks!!

I have never found an answer to this question, but I think it's actually a forum-wide rule, perhaps to prevent server overload. I still have search restrictions. For me, it just gives me time to review all of my results.
