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??
Okay I've done alot to customize this phone and I love the end results. Just a few things bug me that I'm not sure there's a solution for. I've tried searching but didn't find anything helpful.
1. I installed Sprite Backup and even though the program works flawlessly, I've not only backed up data but restored as well, EVERY time I do a soft reset on my machine I get this error message saying something about SpriteStart.exe could not be opened. Yet I manually open it and it works. I tried their site and they say to reinstall. I've done that more than once, same issue.
2. On the screenshot attached, I really love this ROM/Theme/TF3D setup but I did all the tweaks to stop the internet push concept. I'd really like to remove any reference of it from this as well. Any ideas where in the registry I'd edit that or a CAB to do so that's already out there?
3. I also installed the inbox extender and I love it. I'm wondering if there's a way to set it into the menu in TF3D so I don't have to actually choose "Inbox" and go there to mark all messages read. It's an extra step that's kind of annoying for me.
I think that's all for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, let's see what we have here...
1. Sprite Backup still doesn't "officially" support WM 6.5. So, there might be some sort of inherint problem there at the moment (although I know of a lot of people that have it running fine on 6.5). If you're able to manually do a backup/restore fine, it sounds like you might have a scheduled or automatic backup set? If so, try disabling any scheduled backup and soft reset. Do you still get the error after that? Also, when you uninstalled it to reinstall, did you remove every instance of the program, then soft-reset, then reinstall?
2. Do you think your pages are still being pushed, or do you just want to get rid of the push page links on the internet tab within manila? If you like, and if you already disabled push internet, you can set up your push pages as just "favorites" and set the push frequency to "never".
3. This one has actually been asked many times before. Unfortunately no one has come up with a solution yet. It's not an issue where you can simply edit a manila file, rather it's buried in an .exe or .dll (to the best of my knowledge).
Let me know if any or all of that makes sense. Good luck!
May I ask what Dusk files you used? I'm also using MightyROM w/ my Verizon TP2, but I was constantly getting freezes and flashed back to just MightyROM.

It appears to be this one.
rotation
how do i get the screen to rotate horizontally without opening the keyboard?
thanks.
It is that one but with Spike's taskbar.
Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up flashing the Mighty ROM from scratch and reinstalling the theme leaving Sprite backup off. I'll just manually sync with my desktop.
The push issue, yeah I just wanted that to not show on the internet manilla. I guess I could create my 2 most used sites and set to never push on those. Thanks!!!
One other thing:
Since I'm on Verizon, I realize that my taskbar icon shows EV instead of 3G but I don't like it. If anyone has a workaround for changing it back, let me know.

That network indicator is actually built into the custom taskbar you installed. If you'd prefer it showing 3G, you'll need to install a taskbar that has that instead. If I can find a good one, I'll post a link.
Regarding not using Sprite backup anymore, have you ever tried using Microsoft's My Phone, or there's also Dashwire, or PIM Backup too. All easy to use and all work great.
edit: Also, I believe it's tapres.192.dll that includes the network icons. So if you just want to change that icon, this is the file you'd need to replace/edit.
I actually have PIM Backup and use it all the time but just for my text messages. I guess I was wanting a full system backup so that when I screw it up playing in the registry like I did earlier today, I can just restore from backup and it be back to where it is right now... maybe I'm not being realistic.
And the icon is built into the taskbar? I didn't realize that. Does it matter what taskbar I use as long as it's meant for Manilla 2.1 and WM 6.5?

No, you're not being unrealistic at all. Check out My Phone or Dashwire. both can backup pictures, texts, contacts, etc. I personally use My Phone... good stuff.
If you have the taskbar you used, post it. I'm no artist (really, far from it), but I can see if I can tear apart the .dll and try to edit it. No promises that I'll succeed though.
You did want it to say 3G, right?
edit: Sorry, regarding the question about it mattering what taskbar you use. Since WM 6.1 and 6.5 have different taskbar layouts, they aren't compatible with each other. Manila versions won't matter.

Here's the taskbar. I grabbed it in the middle of one of the Dusk threads here but I can't find it now or I'd just point you to the post instead.
http://www.ppc-files.net/HTC%20Touch%20Pro/TF3D/TaskBar/
It's this one:
Spike's_ MicNeo_TaskBar_Varient_3_v2_MIGHTYMIKE_CDMA_FIX.cab
and Yes I love everything about it except that it shows EV instead of the 3G icon. I live in the stix and waited forever to sit at my house and see that little 3G on my phone so I realize it's silly but I still want it if possible. Thank you so much!

Haha, that is a funny (just a little). Seeing EV isn't quite as satisfying as seeing 3G when you're on the "BIGGEST 3G NETWORK" in the country!!!
Anyhow, after a little doing, this is what I came up with. Just install it (don't uninstall your current taskbar, this just adds to it) and then soft-reset. If it doesn't work for you, let me know.
Enjoy your 3G coverage... errr... icon.

Just installed it and it worked. The 3G icon should be in red correct? Thank you so much!
Yep, like "Big Red" (Verizon). You're welcome!

I actually use and have used SPB Backup for quite some time--and it can and does all that, and then some. All though Sprite and even MyPhone are great, I have come to rely on spb backup.
You can do full or custom backups AND restores of PIM, Emails, Documents, System Data and Storage Cards. There's also a handy little sync tool so you can keep your backup .cab's auto-magically suncconfused to your desktop(or laptop). You can also restore in three different modes: New Device, New ROM, OR standard. And there's also a backup scheduler.
However, it's not free ($24, and sometimes they offer a promo code around the holidays), and as I write this I'm also on MightyROM(11.16.09) with what seems like two files from the windows library that have problems backing up--but the backups do fully restore, and I've yet to have any issues because those two files won't release during backup. Caveat Emptor.
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

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...
Guys, there is one very good application released on PocketGear. I have it on my s740 and apart from being perfect new Start Menu with some very very useful features it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active. Also it has Task and Process Manager and it is fully animated. Just wanted to let you know.
Here are some screenshots and detail description.
Skype
by the way "it can route audio to an earpiece when Skype is active": long time ago I read a thread (I'm not sure if it was a Vox thread about skype problem. I think there was a way to find a solution without using ultimate start....
Unfortunately I can't find it again. Can anybody help how to use Skype without backside loudspeaker ? Or does anybody know in which tweak is the explanation to solve problem ?

There is no tweak to do that. You need some application to do it for you. And there are not many applications that can do that. But that's just a bonus feature of Ultimate Start. Start Menu part of the application is really something.
hello Callah,
yes I saw that feature in Ultimate start. But I don't like the generell function - the modified start menu (I tried the demo version).
And so it don't make sense for me to buy this tool only to to fix Skype problem. Does anybody else a way or a tool to fix Skype earpiece bug? Would be nice if such a tool is freeware.
Regards Odiad
if you want skype and the earpiece:
Use Nimbuzz
Amazing multi messenger, supporting almost all im's AND skype AND SIP and uses the normal earpiece!!!

I would love to here what you don't like about the start menu. I find it very useful.
Thanks
Hi Callah,
my test of Ultimate Start was quite short because Demoversion of tool didn't allow so many process steps. But that was not so important.
One reason why I don't like the tool was that I prefer the start menu as a list, not grid view. But if Ultimate Start would be so excellent that I could say "wow thats it" - then I could also accept grid view.
And second reason was that in test, when I pressed start menu, I had to wait a little bit until start menu appears. And thats annoying for me. The S710 seems to be a little bit too slow to show good performance. I don't know if it is the same on all S710, but in case of my phone it was so (WM6.5.3 from fireburned).
So that are my reasons why I don't like it.
Regards Odiad

Thanks. What I like about it is T9 search of whole start menu. I don't know if you tried it. It is just like in Contacts. You can get to almost any application or bookmark in just 2-3 key presses.
That second reason you mentioned...I agree. Reason for slow start is probably because application is written in Compact Framework. But...good thing is that you need to wait that long only once when you turn on your phone (my phone is always on). After that application stays in memory just like default start menu and activates fast when you click Start again.
I have read some bad comments about UI on some forums, some people describing it as Windows 3.1 style. But I can't disagree more on that. I think it looks very good. But that maybe just a question of taste.
It looks like many developers are dropping prices (possibly because of WP7). This application is now only 1$, 80% off!
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
