Can the alphabetical index be made bigger? - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Is it possible to make the alphabetical index, in the contacts window, bigger?
Each box of 3 letters is so tiny, I can never select the correct box.
Is there a setting in Advanced config or a registry setting to fix this?
I am using a stock HTC rom.

Try this out. It's much more convenient and works with the stock contacts application. It's called Random Access and it puts a larger alphabetical index down the right side of the contacts. It's great.

Dwizzy,
Thanks for the quick reply. This program looks ok but I was really looking for a way to increase the alpha listing size. The contacts program itself is fine and I hate to load new programs to fix minor issues in programs already working.
Anyone know the reg hack to fix this?

Bluetooth icon size function change + calendar default view

Hi,
im lookin for some info on changin the size(making it slightly larger in size) and function of the bluetooth icon on my Imate jam, i was hoping to make it a tap, tap+hold icon, so that tap would activate/deactivate BT an tap+hold would go to further settings. anyone heard of anything like this going around, id prefer to customize the original rather than using a 3rd party fix unless it fixes the original directly. any suggestions as to how i might go about this would be well appreciated.
while im at
anyone heard of a way to make the stock calendar always open on a certain view?..ie always open to month view even when closed from a different view. i know if you close it it will retain the last setting but i usually select day from month and edit then close..which sets the view to day..... i assume it would probably be a reg edit but i couldnt find anything in the even mentionin the calendar. again any help would be welcome.
thanks Speedn

Haven't heard of something like that, but maybe this is a useful alternative for you:
Try buzz_lightyear's SwitchIt (look at this post). With thisyou can place shortcuts on your today screen which allow you to control your bluetooth settings. Besides switching bluetooth on/off/discoverable you also can switch on/off your devices infrared. It runs perfectly on my MDA compact.
I'm working on a little frontend, which will allow you to control all your connection settings on one single page (see also at the above mentioned post).

Everything Opens at the Bottom.

Hi,
Recently all my Emails/SMS's open at the bottom of the message, any one had the same problem, or know of the fix, registry setting maybe?
Thanks.
And your using WM6?
on the top right click the pull down menu for the sorting order
if it is already set by recieved
select it again and it will reverse the order
Yup thats right, totally unmodified ROM. Any Suggestions?
That's quite odd especially if your using poutlook, I do believe that a small feat of WM6 is that emails would open at the top. There are no settings in the app to change the read views, at least not that one. As far as registry changes, I would just browse through and try to find it. Registry edits are usually pretty easy to find and read, not to mention they are typically obvious with the function.
you dont need to reg edit
in outlook... the top bar
on the left it has the folder selection pulldown menu... inbox is the default
on the right it has the sort pulldown menu... recieved is the default
if it is already set to recieved, which it should, pull down the menu again and select recieved... it will reverse the order..
this works for all the sorting views...
There is no problem with the sort order, but with the view of the message itself.
I had the exact same problem after I installed Tweaks2k2 and enabled all the optimizations. When I unchecked the video performance improvements, it was back to normal.
with a simple search of "message open bottom" in the main kaiser forum reveals 6 topics all with the same answer
Here is five of them.
(ok so its only 4 threads and the last one is the search results, i omitted to cuz they just told the person to search)
But the solution has to do with d-pad navigation in PIE, solution found in those threads.. Wiki's not opening up so i i can't give the exact reg entry to edit. BUt as suggested in the linked threads, use kaisertweak
Yes Indeed, thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction, I have been playing with kaisertweak. All Fixed as soon as I changed it back to the default setting.
Thanks again for your help

Adding more programs to PROGRAM TAB

does anyone know how or if you can add more programs, edit sizes, spaces etc. ?
Hi,
Not sure about size and spacing etc, but if you open up a registry editor and go here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ParogramLauncher
You will find keys 0-17. You can add key 18, copy the strings from an unused key, do a soft reset, and hey presto you will have another tile to add a program to.
Rowan
Hmm. should have tested properly before posting. The above does indeed add more tiles, and when you allocate programs to them the registry strings get updated accordingly. However, the tiles never become available for use.
I'll have a look later to see if there's anything else to change.

erm, me thinks you misunderstand.
That is for having more columns of icons in the programs menu within start.
What they want here is to be able to add more programs to the programs tab of TF3D.
Interesting idea, and definitely one i'm waiting anxiously to get an answer to. Not a major issue for me by any means, but would be handy!!

So no way to do this yet (hopefully) ??? I could really use more programs and more displayed across in TF3d myself.

Thank you
Actually I wanted to thank you Rabangus, because your answer really helped me.
I dont know how it happened, but I had an empty program icon in the 7th row in my Programs TAB (to which I couldnt assign any program) and I had no idea how to get rid of it. Thanks to your answer i erased the #18 in the registry and after soft reset - yes - it was gone - Yuppee
Thank you soooo much. It was really driving me crazy.

Landscape mode and Text Messaging problem.

Anyone else feel that it is annoying that when you are in landscape mode, and you press the messaging button, it defaults to start a new text message? I would rather have it go to the list of all the messages that I have received??
Is there a registry edit, or something that I am missing with this?
Thanks
Mine opens up the text message list.
Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I'm pretty sure thats exclusive to what skin you are using for TF3D. If you install TF3D config and install another skin like the stock HTC one, you should get the messages window instead of the create new message window every time you click the messaging button.
Can someone recommend a skin for me? All I am looking for is to have the flipping clock.

I have the exact opposite problem. I've lost the ability function of creating new tasks/messages/etc from the landscape action screen.
no idea how I did it. I'm using the AT&T stock Rom without the bloat and have tweaked a few things with Diamond TF3D config, advance config, and Diamond Tweak. I have not changed any themes with TF3D config though.
Any suggestions on how to restore the ability to start new items from the landscape action screen again?

Changing default SMS/MMS program

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
