Looking forward to improve the look and the usability of my Tornado and after that I saw the Com. Mngr. window of my brand new Orbit 2 (HTC Cruise), I decided to gather some information about how to port the HTC Wings (SP) Communication Manager to my old and faithfull Tornado and from all that search, i did a cab file to realize all this.
Maybe this could be implemented too at the upgrade of any WM6 versions from vjgrace, NiTroGenious, nncuong.
The down listed cab file upgrade the actual ComMgr to the new one from HTC Wings at the english language. See pictures below.
UPDATE to COMM Color
The new COMM Colors is faster due a new *.dll file, it does improve the application's speed, this one as well as the previous one, only shows 6 different functions/connections, but you can choose your favorites to display by editing the registry, all the icons to the functions are available:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
From 0 to 10 you can select at the first entries (0-5) the application/connections of your preference.
The standard entries after install are:
0: FlightMode
1: Phone
2: Bluetooth
3: WLAN
4: IR
5: DataDisconnection
This looks hawt!
Nicer than the one that never matches my WM black scheme.
I'll try this tonight before I flash...
Any chance you can port over the contacts look too?

When I look at Wings and Elf, the contacts look quite different than for Tornado. I know a bit of it has to do with them having more screen real estate.
But the scheme and layout look slicker.
So looks by HTC Cruise
I've tried it and it works well. Functionally it works the same as the others I've used. Aesthetically, it's a nice change. The "toggled" indicator light is cool and it matches the WM6 black theme that I love.
The Data Connection was greyed out, but I don't have a GPRS connection setup so that may be it. (On an aside, I just reinstalled my PC OS on my main PC, and the default spellcheck for Firefox is US "English" that tries to tell me that "greyed" is misspelt; it even tells me that misspelt is "misspelled". And here I thought the US was supposed to have been colonised by educated people... )
The comm manager has a flaw. However, the same flaw exists in EA's ROM and I'm sure Nitro's and vjgrace's...
Clicking exit, doesn't actually close the app(let). It just minimises it so the back button won't recall it. Celetask finds the process lallygagging around.
(I know this isn't your fault. Just a peeve of mine. Exit should mean exit. I hate teases. Man, I'm just so excitable tonight. I wonder if that has anything to do with why I have this nick?)

The Cruise, aka Touch Cruise, aka Polaris should look like the Touch because it's allegedly a variant (but so varied as to have it's own name and forum )
Here's some screenies from the Touch:
http://www.imobile.com.au/images/phone_reviews/htc_touch/touch-screenshots01.jpg
I'm considering getting this one [the Touch], as the Polaris will cost so much and I'm already seeing it locally on cragslist for $300-350.
This newer interface, which is common among the newer models, looks more like an interface, as opposed to a mini OS. Disguising WM maybe a smart move on the part of HTC.
The above pics only has the my people list, not the regular contacts. I can't seem to find a pic right now. But it looks like the comm manager, or the song list.
sorry, wrong posting...

Yes, the files CommManager.exe, CommManagerRes.dll and CommManager.exe.0409.mui will be overwritten, if you uninstall the cab you will get your old COMM Manager back.

...Ah ok thanks QTEK for the response...So before I will try this is this stable version what I mean no bugs?Im using WM6 ROM HTC VANILLA by ericjm....if I will uninstall this the old COMM MANAGER of HTC VANILLA will be the old one that you mean?
Tried it and works fine on my SDA. I will leave it in for a few days to see if I like it. It does fit in with my black color scheme well, though. Thanks for this!!

yes
The one that it installed over. i.e. the one that came with your ROM, unless you have installed something else over that one, in which case, I hace no clue, but do tell us how it works out ;-)
Looks very nice works fine but really slows down my phone which is SP5 running vjgrace 3.5 ROM.
Next question.....how do I know this is the cause ?
Removed and phone has speeded up.
Just thought Iw ould let you know.

Well, I don't really had that problem on my Tornado, I was using the same ROM version too, after I have updated to the last 3.6 version and nothing happens, may be you have a low program memory on your phone.

What do you mean by this? Too much installed on ROM, so low space? Something else using RAM?
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??
Hey guys!
i got a little question about contact managers. if already tried a couple managers (like icontact, pocketcm) but in none of them i was able to find a way to edit my contacts more fingerfriendly. as soon as i wanted to edit a contact (new number, email, whatever) or create a new one i always had to use the standard windows mobile interface which sucks in my eyes.
so my questions:
is there a manager thats has a better gui to edit contacts? if yes which one?
do icontact, pocketcm already provide that option and i just didnt saw ít?
please help me and give me advice how you manage this "problem"
i hope i posted in the right forum otherwise please move it to the right section.
thx
cya notarzt

PocketCM does it. For new contact, edit contact, etc... the only thing that is still "windows mobile" is contact picture selection.
hey!
@stylez: thanks for moving. wasnt shure which section is correct.
@claus: thx ill try it and give a freedback
@tene: which version are you using? any specific theme plugin or whatever? because in my version it dosnt work.
edit: @tene: yeah youre right the version i installed couple minutes ago offers that option but i got all sorts of problems with the themes of it and with the keyboard on my 6.5 rom. maybe ill have to try a different keyboard and check whether that will help. or maybe it does not work properly on wm6.5
@claus: well the function is good but the view is a little ugly...
hi
i have installed the spb Mobile shell 3.5.3 and the default contact manager use the T9 system which is not easy for me, i want to replace this default contact manager by the iconsoft phoneex contact manager.
i dont know how to do to change the default link in the home screen to launch the iconsoft contact manager
see the attachement
thank you so much for your help
I dont think its possible. There's a thread somewhere on this board specifically for spb mobile hacks so you may want to search around a bit.

Hi thanks for your answer
i've searched on this forum about my question but the only thing i found is how to change the default sms manager not for contact manager
i dont think that it's not possible
any other person with any idea ?
thanks
Well quite old post dunno if i should start a new one at SPB hacks-etc, but...
If anyone have done this would be great to help, SPB is quite amazing except the contacts crap app..Pretty worthless
I need to organize my life on my mega... so I have the need to check many times the calendar.
I've tried the ThrottleLauncher and I see that I can put a widget of the calendar, that I can use to check the all month (I can see witch days are used).
But I think TouchFLO runs faster than Throttle, so I prefer to use it. It would be superb to have a calendar on it (for instance if I can put it instead of internet tab).
Do you know any solution that can help me?
Thanks!
I see that no one have an answer to me...
So, what about a better calendar? Any one knows a way to change to another calendar?
The problem of this one that comes with WM is that when is showing the all month don't have the days with appointments to the all day (like birthdays) marked with any symbol, so I have to check them all.
Some help please...
I'am looking for too
