First name first not surname

Does anyone know how to do this within the contacts? Personally I would like the option to look up contacts via first name etc.
Also, does anyone know how to sync with a Motorola V3?
Thanks in advance.
Crash.

Workaround
A workaround:
Open each contact in Outlook, and change the "Store as" value..
(Default is "Surname, firstname")
Then save contact and move along to the next one..
A pain in the a** if you have a lot of contacts..
There might be some tools out there though..

What about a solution WithOUT the outlook workAround?

you can save the persons whole name under one section. eg first name 'steve dibs' last name ......
just click the down facing triangle then enter the name in one of the sections.

ps i feel your pain

Or use a different PIM, most give you the sort option in there contact list

it's probably not what you want i know but i gave up with contacts list when i got this app from this site ,it is a fantastic little app

perhaps someone who is good with reg hacks might beable to help
i was told this would be an area to look in for changing the last name first name lay out of contacts in my Imate jam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AddrBook
however i know extremely little about changing registy items.
set Display name in Contacts
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName
this was apparantly one for changing the display for another device
so i was kind of looking for something similar but it eludes me
any help would be most welcome by alot of people id reckon, me for sure anyway.
comments about switching contacts managers are unwelcome....i havent found another which i feel intergrates well.
thanks

excellent! not quite what i was after in terms of usage, but does the required function
"FileAsFL.arm.CAB v 1.0" is the cab to get it in the ver last post.
doesnt actually automatically change the way it displays the name, however it does let you change the way it is viewed after an entry has been made. so after you enter the name you need to select it and choose file as from the tools menu in contacts....or just "ctrl A" to select all then change the file as from tools menu.
very nice simple work around.
thanks

http://www.shubaroo.com a Norwegian site has made this little program http://www.shubaroo.com/Kontaktfiks_ppc_installer_v1.2.CAB
Install it and open the KontaktFiks from your program folder
Do as in the picture, and that will fiks all yor current contacts to "First Middle LastName"

@Bosjo
does that program make all new entries file correctly as well?
Speedn

No, only the ones that are in the Adress book.

Do you guys want me to make an english version of this program?

Same here

English version is available for download at www.shubaroo.com
The new version also gives you the opportunity to add the Company name to the File As field. It will then file the contacts as: "Firstname Middlename Lastname (Companyname)".
The new version will only run on WM 5.0 devices. Both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones.

I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Tab for Skyscape programs...?

Hey guys!
First off just like to say that this is an amazing site and especially for a pocket pc newbie such as my self has enabled me to do great things with my HTC touch pro.
I have downloaded a series of programs from skyscape (medical ppc books) and i added them to the programs tab on the TouchFlo 3D. The prob is, they all have the same icon and no text shows so hard to tell them apart.
I was wondering if there is a way to add a new Tab on the touchflo so that it would work like a folder for all of my skyscape programs with text preferible to distinguish between them. That way i could access the programs with a seperate program tab just for special programs...
Thx in advance and keep up the great work!

The simplest way would be to create a shortcut to the folder the apps are installed in, and copy the folder shortcut to your windows programs folder.
or create a new folder with shortcuts to your apps and then create a shortcut to that folder in the programs group.
There are many other ways it could be done, but this would be the simplest for you, with very little room for making a mistake.
Cheers,
Beasty

Where did you get your version of skyscape for the touch pro?

Did you pay for skyscape or did you find a cracked version with a keygen somewhere? I can't seem to find it.

Do not ask, direct, instruct, discuss, or mention warez. I.E. trying to get retail software for free.
You have been warned.

sorry....what way should I go about stuff like that?

Warez discussion leads to a ban. No more warnings... the rules are clearly stated, it's nobody's fault but your own if you didn't read them. See you in 3 days...
To the OP:
Check this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3125006&postcount=16. It's actually directions on how to remove the AT&T tab from the Fuze's stock ROM, but adding lines to the file mentioned should allow you to add a tab.

is there any pdf creator available?

Open Office
I recommend Open Office. It has all the tools you need plus the ability to export and configure in .pdf

Topaz
I think that if posted on a Topaz forum it should be a question about Topaz so I don't think that the last 2 answers are right.
I second pdf2scan wich work very well on my Topaz but it's only a picture to pdf creator. Your result is a pdf with a picture on every page, not a scanned text.

found something interesting..
FluidPDF vPrint
i tried the demo version and it works great. Let u select any document (images, text files, notes, etc...) then converts it to a pdf asking for the name of the output file.

Question on adding reg keys to ROM

For the last week, I haven't had any luck finding answers to this stuff.
First order of business:
NetFront Browser is, in my opinion, the only mobile browser; so I'm cooking it into the ROM. But, I want the IE hotkey to open it - I can't find the reg entry, anywhere. Is it part of a library?
Second order:
Generally, how do I add new regs in SuperJust?

Show me a screenshot of what hotkey you're talking about?

Sorry what I meant by hotkey is the [alt]+[right arrow] command which opens IE by default.
But I found a shortcut (by accident!) ---
You can edit "\Windows\short_ie.lnk" to any location, using SPB Plus or Total Commander.
However, I can't find this link file in any of the Kitchen directories to have it readied to the ROM... and I'm still unclear on how to add the new registry entries I have that will bypass the SPB Shell & Netfront activations.
Oh, for educational purposes of course

Look at Ivans Justhome files in the kitchen i believe he has edited a hotkey in his reg. Not 100% sure though.

How to create a .reg file (what's the format)

Hello all,
I hope I used the search function correctly, I could not find an answer to this one. If You have a link to an answer, please be so kind to point me out in that direction.
Each time I do a flash of a new ROM I go through the process of installing the mayor things I need. Although I know that Shashimi (if I write it correctly) will solve this issue, I am trying to get to smoothing the job of some standard actions I do for each ROM.
I install my Resco Explorer 2008 and edit the registry.
I know all the specific entries I need, some are new, some are value changes.
There is a possibility in Resco to import .reg files. I tried to create my own by taking a .reg file I downloaded from here, but Resco complained it not being in the right format.
Can somebody inform how the file should look.
Is there a difference between value changes for an existing entry or new entries. Is there a certain Header which should be available.
I am sure these questions are answered somewhere, but the Wiki and Search did not let me find an answer.
And yes, I will go to Shashimi sometimes, but am not ready yet.
Thanks all in advance,
Ruud

I used TaskMgr to export some registry keys and it looks exactly like this:
Code:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\BTRouter]
"BTBaudrate"=dword:003d0900
"BTPortName"="COM7:"
Hope this helps

Hi ZaxXx,
exactly this format is what I see around here. But trying to import this through Resco Explorer 2008 does not work. Also simply clicking on the (text)-file with this format does not result in the registry being updated to the contents of the file.
How would You re-import these registry entries, other than by hand?
Edit :
OK, I just tried to import a file which was exported by TaskManager, this actually works.
But my files, which look the same to me are rejected. Time to start looking real careful, what the difference is.
Regards,
Ruud

OK solved it.
Or at least to some extend.
I can import the file through TaskManager and the file is accepted without mistakes. The entries do appear in the registry after that.
BUT, Resco Explorer 2008 still judges the file corrupt and does not want to import.
It will save a lot of time like this, so I am happy.
Thank You,
Ruud

I'm using PHM Registry Editor it allows me to do the following tasks:
Explore the registry to find the operating system and applications configuration,
modify system and applications tweeks not available from the standard options screens,
export all or parts of the registry to .reg files,
backup and restore the complete registry and
perform search on the registry data
Export a key, look into it with notepad (ASCII) editor, then you'll know its format
