I have installed agenda one on my TC and I want to use this as my default email app in the cube and elsewhere. The function within agenda one to set it as default doesnt seem to have the desired effect.
Is there a registry setting I can change or something please?

Hum. Agenda One isn't for the mail but for the Calendar and the Tasks. Try Flexmail . WebIS have just released the version 2008. I've tested it on my Polaris. It is excellent.
Hope it help.
Doh! I meant my calendar and task not email. Agenda One is a great calendar and task app for ppc and smartphone. In fact it makes the calendar finger tip friendly which the normal calendar isnt.
Does anyone know who to replace the links to make it be the default app when I click the links in the cube etc.
Is Flexmail better than the standard app. I have never thought there was that much wrong with that. Maybe I am missing something.

Well.. I saw that some people develop some "Touch customization" programs (do a search into the forum). I've tried one but can't install it (application not digitally signed. This even if I've unlock the option with Schaps Advanced config program).
Finally I've take my prefered registry editor (Resco registry) and do the modification by myself.
It is quite simple but, as usual, INSURE to do a full backup of your PPC before making any changes into the registry.
Here is the (manual) procedure to replace the calendar link with Agenda One (this action list assume that Agenda One is installed into the main memory of your Polaris):
Run you favorite registry editor
Open "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Open "Software"
Open "HTC"
Open "Biotouch"
Open "APLauncher"
Open "App5"
Click on the key "Path"
Replace the Value Data by \Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe
Click on "Finish" to save the data
Restart your Polaris (reset)
Of course, if you have installed Agenda One on your SD-Card, you'll have to modify the path by adding the "Storage Card" path before \Program Files\... at the point 9 into the action list. (result will be \Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe)
I've prepared the .reg file (if you don't want to use the registry editor).
Always assuming that the application is installed into the main memory of the PPC.
Click here to download it. Simply copy the file into your PPC and run it. The system will ask you to confirm the import into the registry. Simply click "OK". Restart your Polaris to validate the change.
Here is the list of registry keys to change the other shortcuts into the Launcher
Point 7 into the action list
App0 = Email
App1 = Internet Explorer
App2 = Comm Manager
App3 = SMS/MMS
App4 = Tasks
Now to answer your question about Flexmail and even if I haven't tested a lot of mail applications, it is definitively a better solution than the built in Pocket Outlook ! Especially in the way that you can configure it.
Another mail solution is Profimail who is also really good.
Hope it help.
Most PIM apps give you the option, either on install or later on to make the app the default for PIM. Why would you need to need to perform any type of reg hacks for this?

F.y.i, the default app option for PIM doesn't apply to the Biotouch AppLauncher. Then a manual modification should be done.
Thank you so much for the comprehensive description. I will do it now.
The app does have things to set it as default (as I said earlier) but although it has worked on other devices it doesnt work for the Touch Cruise cube interface. I will do it manually and email the developer who are very responsive to suggestions. Agenda One is worth the effort as the basic diary is c**p. I have no idea why MS are so incompetent at making software for their operating system.
Look at the Iphone Safari browser, not bad for a first attempt and miles better than any windows version, then again look at the diary on an iphone, that is also c**p.

I agree with your opinion about the quality/functionality of the default MS applications. But as for the PC Windows, MS is only providing "basic" applications and let the user choose (buy) the application that better feet their need.
Yes I am not bashing that approach and it works for me. I am all done now Agenda One is my default calendar app in everything I click. Thanks for the help.

Stuart,
I'm glad you sorted this out. I also use Agenda One. I have 2 requests if you have the time.
1) DeveloperOne (the author's of Agenda One) list as a known issue the fact that on some devices setting the Agenda One setting to make it the default calendar/contact app doesn't always work. I have filed a support issue but I hope the more people that do this might raise it in the priority list so it would be helpful if you filed an issue too. Yoy say "Agenda One is my default calendar app in everything I click". Is this true of the soft key at the bottom of the today screen? I have Agenda One set so that the startup view when it is launched is set to "Last View". If I hit the right soft key then I launch into Agenda One (AO) contacts view but if I exit it and then hit the left soft key it launches AO OK but it still starts it in contacts view and won't force it into calendar view. I think this is a bug (or feature deficiency). Do you see the same behaviour?
2) I think I have found a bug with AO and the Touch cube. (WARNING: If you want to try and reproduce this then be prepared to need to soft reset your device.) To reproduce then just bring up the touch cube and go to the contacts side of the cube. Hit the button at the bottom to take you to the contacts app and Agenda One should start. If you then try to re-launch the cube again then it comes up with all the 9 quick entries empty and my device got pretty flaky thereafter until I soft reset. Even if I exited AO after invoking it from the cube, went back to the Today screen, and then tried launching the cube again from the Today screen it still came up with blank entries for the 9 quick contacts. I think AO somehow messes something up if it is invoked via that button on the cube and most of the damage it does seems to be to the cube itself.

APLauncher key does not exist?...
Hi,
I want to change my default email application, however, when I went to the registry keys mentioned in the previous posts, I couldn't find the "ApLauncher" key under "BioTouch". I have an HTC Touch Viva (T2223), which doesn't have the cube TouchFlo, just the 2D version. Do you know if it is possible to edit the registry and change the default programs in that version of TouchFLO? I am not really worried about other default functions, just I want the TouchFLO mail icon to open my email client and NOT the Windows Mobile default.
Hi,
I have a problem with the tasks app.
Since I upgraded my Prophet to WM6, in the Today screen appears the tasks plugin showing the text "6 active tasks" (for instance) as usual.
When I enter in the app, it shows all the tasks, if I tick the filter Active tasks, it shows all the tasks but the completed one, even if the start date is in 3 months . I was used to get just the 6 announced by the today screen and that's what I would like to have.
I've looked for a solution using the search but as tasks is a quite common noun it's been in vain. Is there any hint about how can I fix it?, or where could I find an old tasks cab or package to cook a rom?
Looking forward to any help.
Thanks
How do you get the Tasks application to keep reminding you that a task is set and that it needs completing.
you need better PIM software
try Pocket Informant (or maybe Agenda Today... I would suggest Agenda Fusion first but it's been a year since they last updated it)
Hello,
For some reason I can't seem to find a simple app that isn't so compliated. For example I just was a little note on my Today screen that has bulleted tasks. such as.
-Meeting 10/22/09
-Call Jane
-Buy Dad birthday gift
-etc
-etc
I can't seem to get that to work with these programs.
The idea I'm thinking of is sort of like Post-it app...
Does anyone know of one that does that?? If Tasks and these other programs do it, How?
Because I set up an appointment for the 22nd of october, and it doesn't show anything on my today screen, not sure why?. Please let me know.
Anyone?? Please?
I really like SPB Diary (free demo), but on the totally free side of things, there's Today Agenda.
SBSH Breeze is like diary, but more customizable (i found diary as customizable as i needed, breeze was just too many options)
Hi all,
Absolutely love the work here.
I've been averaging a weekly rebuild on my HD2.
So much so that I've got a step-by-step instruction folder.
The last rebuild yesterday from a blank home page. Go figure.
I've been looking for a BG4all.cab
for my Dusk Theme GreenGlob.PNG background.
I'll find a BG4All.cab
but it either doens't work at all
or it will install a different background than the one I want
and will sometimes install other things as well.
Just wondering if its really complicated
or are we too busy with more interesting
development work to focus on this issue?
i.e. a BG4All.cab with accompanying graphic of our choice.
Again, just asking. Not criticising at all. Certainly not my place.
-----
I've also been looking for a Sync to Mobile Contacts.
i.e. I've got 300 Contacts in Outlook on my PC.
I have an HD2 I use for contacts that I visit once only.
I would like to sync my HD2 with my OnceOnly contacts catagory from Outlook. And NOT bloat the HD2 with the other 300 contacts.
Anyone know of a way or have a software update to select only certain contacts or catagorys from outlook to Sync?

All my best,

Hi,
I have replaced my WP7 (Focus) for a second time. (It’s a long, sad story) My replacement device will not sync my notes to Skydrive. It did not appear to have installed a new/additional personal folder in Skydrive.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions on this?
Thanks in advance,
Dave
Hey man, you were very vague with the description of your problem but if you are having problems with syncing notes already on Skydrive, have a look here
http://www.jonoble.com/blog/2010/10...sting-onenote-notebooks-on-windows-phone.html
All your notes will go into your "Default" page in a notebook... this is indicated by an icon consisting of 3 fanned white pages on the right of the page (if you look at your list of notebooks)
At the moment, I'm guessing that your Default page (where all your new notes gets stored) is on the "Personal (Phone)" Notebook..
If you follow the instructions in the link above to get your old web notebook and select one of the pages as your default then you should be able to sync automatically onto skydrive.
select and hold on a page that you want to make default and select the "set as default" option.
Hope this helps
Hey Hboos,
Extremely helpful. Between your solid advice and that very good article (which I saved) I was able to clear up multiple issues I encountered from having to replace the device twice.
Thanks a million!
Dave
only somewhat related
sorry that this is not 100% related, but is it possible for me to sync my replacement phone with the zune software that i used to back up my previous phone. ( i mean things like music, and photos)??
thanks
You can manually sync them, but you'll be starting all over. The backups will not transfer to different phones.
