Delete contact categories in WM6 - General Topics

I made some extra categories to link to my contacts.
but there are a view that i never use.
does anybody know a way to delete those?
Thank you!

I've got the same problem with my HTC Tytn on WM5. No doubt it would be a similar response but short of a registry edit I'm not sure. I've searched all the menus with nothing
If I find out a way I'll let you know, but if you're on WM6 it might be different. :!

Someone?

Install Pocket Informant and then bring up the categories and delete the ones you want. Once complete, remove PI and all should be well.

Doesn't look like an option...
There is bound to be a setting in the registry. If I find one I'll post well.

Curious to know what you meant by doesn't look like an option? I'm confused.

Don't be. It was probably me when tired. I'm doing a lot of 14h days at rotating hours 14h work, 2h travelling, 9h rest, and onwards

I know this post is very old but here it goes. I read this in a MS forum and it worked on my Treo Pro.
"To delete a stale category this worked for me (I have a WM6 phone): ensure no tasks/contacts/calendar appointments have that category. Create a new task, assign the stale category, then delete it."
Hope this helps

bump, on my HTC Touch Pro you can't assign a category to a task. Anyone have any other solutions?

Execute sound when the universal is flipped

is this possible? just a thought... saw one of the posts where you can change the sound when you slide a keyboard using other pdas so i thought maybe this is also possible with our universals?
hehe! no need to reply to this post though... only if you know how..

Nop doesn't work. Universals don't have that registry
Check out SlideSound at http://tiermann.co.nr
There's also a thread on it at ppcgeeks. It works with QVGA and VGA now.
It's not dependant on the screen driver or anything, so any wm5/6 device that can rotate it's screen should trigger it.
wow that software works, it crashes sometimes but it works anyway. is there any program that executes a sound when the uni is turned on or when you open it ?
thanks man... just what i was looking for...

It crashes for you? Any error messages, like even a .net error or anything? So far it's only been tested on HTC Apache (6700) with .net Compact Framework 2.0 and 3.5, and I believe someone is running it successfully on the Mogul too. If you could post any errors I can see if I can take care of them.

it crashes sometimes, i dont have the error message infront of me now.. nothing major, it rarely crashes, not like all the time kind of thing so no worries..
Always puzzled me this. Why would you want everyone around you to know you've just opened or flipped your phone?
just for fun, not for people to see me,
or shall the answer is "I need toys"?
He He. Just like my Samsung, with it's musical box tones on the keypad too. Not the thing to forget when you're trying to send a quick text under the table at a boring business meeting though!

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure
Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.
** Bump **
I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.
*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?
Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!
Thx
Hi carlos,
thx for your quick reply. It works like a charm now. I need now some "stylish" icons for my selected apps, but thats another problem.
Thx anyway for your great application.
well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more

Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!
C
It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Hmm. ...very interesting. Well, I don't have a Cruise/Polaris, so I don't know!
Could somebody please please send me a registry dump? And, if possible, the files Biotouch.exe, Mediahubmini.exe, APLauncher.exe and QDialer.exe from \Windows\ on the device.

No, there is a new build now that does not expire, we're up to v2.24. You can download from www.fatattitude.com/software. Let me know if it works for you!

[B] Is there allready a solution to show more calender events in TF3D???]

I have searched thrue whole xda but i couldn't find a solution for this except for using third party software....
Is there anybody who can tweak this or do a registry add. so that it will show all todays appointments and or upcoming app.

This might not really be what thou art looking for, but TodayAgenda should at least work on the today screen and there is a threat for how to use TodayAgenda with Raphael. You might contact the author of this freeware tool - may be he plans to re-design it for TF3D ...?
Eriol
it would be very nice if you can see your first appointment under the big clock, and when you scroll the clock away you will see all the next appointments that day....

There must be a reg setting under HTC somewhere that controls what events are displayed....I'm not that good with this kind of stuff, but I'm gonna try and search the reg and see if I see anything like this....If anyone else has any luck, please post your results....thanks
Thanks man!

I doubt there is anything to fix in the registry as this issue has been raised months ago and nobody has found anything (apart from suggesting third party applications or disabling TF3D). However someone mentioned in another thread that HTC will publish a firmware update in late december containing a fix for this issue. Considering HTC's record at fixing problems I will believe this only when I see it working on my phone!

question about customizing touch flo

hey guys, this is what i'm trying to do:
when i go to contacts tab, when i click on all people, it opens up the default contacts program. i want it to open another program (finger friendly friends). how do i do that? i downloaded diamond TF3D config, and it doesnt seem like you can do that... any ideas? thanks

Check the iContact thread because I think this question was asked. I.e. if you hit the phone button and then "contacts" it will load iContact, however from the people tab it won't. I'm not sure they ever resolved that problem, but if they did, please post the response here, because iContact seems like a much better program (and the scrolling is the best I've seen on Windows Mobile...)
i didnt find anything (a link to that thread would be nice). but i'm thinking a simple registry edit would suffice??

Love TF3D but I miss my WM Today screen

Been using TF3D on Energy Warhark ROM for my Raphael. I like TF3D now that it works (in the non-stock ROM). But - I miss today screen on WM. Specifically - I need to see my tasks list often and I also like SPB insight runing. Anyone know how to switch fast between manila and WM Today w/o tediously going to setting tab? Or better yet, a tweak for manila for tasks tab?
what you can do is find the "search" link on top and use it.
Look for Manila Detacher. There's a newer app like it in the raph software forum, but I can't remember the name. There's also the Manla Today Tab, but it may not work on that version of Manila.

Second Today is another ap.
You can configure it to run TF3D and set one of your soft keys to Second Today and you can toggle between interfaces.
I run this also in conjunction with SPB Mobile Shell, on the other soft key just to show off....
