i restored my registry and lost the black alaphabet bar on the side that i can use to scroll through my contacts. it was included in duty's rom. so right now i just have the basic alpabet thing at the top. is there a cab where i can restore this back?
found it, its called:
HTC Random Acces_updated
which can be found on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1615120&postcount=25
well this is weird, that is it, but i already have the files in my windows folder, and that registry edit is already made in the registry, so idk why i dont have the black contact serach on the left.
I had the same problem on my prophet. I installed pocket informant and it screwed up my contact registry/shortcut settings.
Did anyone ever figure out how to fix and restore the touch alphabet bar?

I have been recently messing about flashing various WM6 ROM's to see which one I might settle on, however I have come across one issue which annoys me so much that I would choose not to go down the WM6 route.
On the phone dialler I now have a bar going across the screen which displays two lines of my contacts. I don't want this. I want the usual phone layout that I have used for the past dozen ROM upgrades.
Is there a way to remove this? I have tried all the settings on the phone but to no avail. Will it dissapear if I re-skin the phone with something from Eten?
What surprises me is that I have not seen anyone else mentioning it on any of the WM6 threads - Does everyone like this new layout?
Vista Dialer
I also found this annoying. I downloaded the following
Jimm98y_vista_dialer.zip
in the development/hacking section. I think it is much better than the old WM5
dialer skin. You can see the screen shots there.
You will probably also need to edit smartskey.ini to allow the dpad to function in the Phone app. With the Underground ROM that was a pain if I remember correctly as it is a system and RO file. I ended up making a cab that created a \Program Files\Smartskeyand copied my smartskey files to that folder. Then stopping smartskey, deleting the shortcut in \Startup and then running Smartskey from the \Program Files folder.
What a PIA! Another reason I went back to the Orwell ROM (after I took the green comm manager with me..)

Thanks Tony. Just done it and it worked a beaut.
Does anyone has a clue if we can remove the small mobile icon on the photo in the Favorite People? I notice this icon will show up if I have more than 1 number ties to the person.
just delete hh_people_16x16_device.png, hh_people_16x16_home.png and hh_people_16x16_working.png from your windows directory.
these are the small icons...
HAllo,
I have the same problem...i found these files in windows directory but the menu items "Delete" or "Cut" are disabled. What can i do? Thanks
petervbeck: Thanks but like Queenmercury I do not have the option to delete them. They are part of the ROM probably because I have a HTC TyTn II. Any program that I can use to remove unwanted ROM files?
xoxo
You can't delete because the files are in use by HTC Home.
Disable HTC Home in Settings -> Today and try again.
If it's still not working, try using TotalCommander to delete the files.
--> Sorry for wrong information: Solution see Post #10
I tried using Resco Explorer to delete. No luck. Error: Files are part of the ROM.
Let me make sure, on the HTC HOME screen you are trying to get rid of the "Contacts" tab (the one where you can assign phone numbers to little blocks)
I did it because I have an app called face contacts which works much better. lol
I just tried this and it works but you have to install a few other CAB files to get it to work.
go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308&highlight=home+customiser
Then follow the directions to install the HTC HOME CUSTOMIZER (HHC)
when you go to the set up on the bottom tabs in the HHC there is a tab for the HTC HOME "tabs"
It is there where you can add or take out specific tabs.
hopefully it works for you like it did me.
No, they just want to get rid of the little icon that attaches itself the the front of the contacts image when you assign a specific number, eg mobile instead of home.
I also tried disabling the home screen, deleted the icons with resco, but the icons were there again when I restarted the plugin.
Tried restarting device, and the files I got rid of were there again...
I have the opposite problem... I have the Favorite people tab checked so that it should be on my Today screen. No matter what I do, I can only get the today, weather,launcher, ringtones and musice tabs to show up. I would actually like the Favorite people tab on the today screen. I have the HHC program and have put contacts in, but still no tab showing up.

Have you tried to delete this registry key already ?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
it's not that hard to find when you do a quick search.... maybe next time....
To keii and Queenmercury:
The solution are transparent pics, see attachment.
Disable HTC Home and then replace the existing files with the attached files. Works fine on my Kaiser
I did a search but did not get any results. When I followed your link to quick search, there it was. Apparently I have not been searching the entire site, only Kaiser. Thanks... the fix did indeed work and I will use the quick search from now on!

Many thanks petervbeck for prompt response but it's still not working. I tried to replace the files with your transparent and it's telling me they are read-only file.
Is there a registry key I can edit to remove the picture?
I'm trying to remove mUn BackGround4AllPages "v0.2" using remove programs but keep getting the following a message saying "it was not completely removed, do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs (YES/NO)?" When I hit yes, the program is still part of the list WTF.
The main reason I'm trying to remove mUn BackGround4AllPages "v0.2" is because I started having issues sending pic text messages after doing a soft reset the next day. I'm not sure if this is where the problem lies or the fact that I also have the following apps:
1. OMJ Manilla customizer - Used to change my clock and Icons
2. Diamond TF3D config tool - Only used to return everything back my ROMs default theme/Icons when I got a white square on the top left corner of all all my tabs after doing a soft reset
3. S2U2 v1.44 (QVGA) - I seen in a post that my phone should use the VGA version but none of those would install on my phone. I have since removed it
Not sure but maybe these apps are stepping on one another and I shouldn't have all three installed???? Has anyone experienced this before if so please share your remedy/fix. I plan remove mUn BackGround4AllPages "v0.2" as well as the ones listed that I have not already removed but before doing so I'm going to check my registry to see anything has changed since I set myself up to send/receive pic messages.
Phone:
Sprint HTC Touch Diamond Flashed to Metro Pcs
Running Mighty ROM v4.1
CDMA
Pic text can receive but can't send pic messages
I unistalled it with no problem. Although I had the same problem when I tried to unistall Sprite Backup. I used sktools>installed programs and >bad unistall info and then a general cleanup and it unistalled.
I had the same problem, it uninstalled from phone but the picture remained on all TF3D pages. Even deleted the picture that I assigned from the phone.
I searched for all image files in the windows folder and found one that sounded like it could be the background file (can't recall it's name) but I remember it was pretty obvious. Open it to make sure it's the one you want to remove and delete it. Soft reset and voila....back to original TF3D grey squares.
I think BackGround4AllPages just renames your image and sticks it in the windows folder.
Stop TF3D (Turn it off in today settings) soft reset, uninstall, soft reset and then restart TF3D.

Short of a hard reset, no.
just wondering if this got sorted? mines doing it now??!
crazy phone!
I went to the program tab on TF3D and noticed that an extra row of blank spaces appeared out of nowhere. I didnt think it was that bad since I get an extra row. Unfortunately when I try add a new program, it stays blank and another row of blank icons appear! Anyone know how to get rid of this?
You can manage the icons/programs in the program tab with a freeware utility called "diamond TF3D Config" (you will find it here by using the search)

I know all about TF3d config. Im having problems with the amount of rows present in my programs tab. I cant use them and I cant remove them. I havent installed any programs lately and IDK wth I need to do to get rid of them. So far I have 12 rows of unusable [+] icons. TF3d Config does not manage this.
I have the same problem!!!
I now have an extra page (3x3 icons) of "add program" icons.
In tf3d config it shows the programs I wanted to add, which appear as add program.
And if I try to delete them the add icons still stay....
Does anyone know a solution?
Thanks
ditto... I randomly got the same problem about 2 days ago shorty after I installed the diamond config I think. I also installed the footprints cab and navipanel as well... and recently installed facebook chat and wfacebook.
maybe one of these new installs caused the issue?

Had the same problem too guys, it has nothing to do with the footprints cab or facebook chat, all you need to do are some very simple registry edits. I saw the solution a while back in this forum. Can't remember any more what the title of the thread was, but it solved my problem. Will try to find it and get back to you.
EDIT: Found it! Here you go: (credit goes to Rabangus)
Open the registry editor and go to:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
In there you should only have keys 0-17. Just delete any additional key you find there (i.e. key 18 and above), do a soft-reset and you're done
Hope this helps...
Peter
thnks this solved the problem.
yeah this happened to me a while ago and that solution worked
That's great and all but WHY did it happen in the first place?
Thats part of the mystery.
maybe u have installed xbodmod manilla HD and then u have unistalled.. that should give u some new entries in program tab..

Excellent post, this one had me confused as well but your solution took care of that.
Is there any way to make these extra buttons functional instead of deleting them?
I have the same problem - extra row of icons that I cannot assign to programs...
It happened to me just after I clicked on the FM Radio icon, I had just installed the TP2 icons which installed that icon but since my phone did not have an FM Radio it gave me a really weird error and that's when the icons showed up.
Please help. i've searched and searched but nothing...
I've managed to delete some items/options from my today screen. I'm using the o2 interface.
I'm missing the running programs icon from the bottom right of the screen. Plus i used to have memory and volume settings (used to be able to select normal, loud etc etc) I've noticed the whole menu is missing from the Today in Settings.
Does anyone know how i can get this all back? Somethings been deleted when i was installing regedit, but i dont know what it was.
Thanks in advance.
Ben
I dont think anybody can help ... unless experts know how to add registry entry for these 2 item with the .cab files better still ..
I only can think .. there is a program ..can extract whole wm registry out to one file then can compare others file ..and spot out the diff.
Just had a thought. if I back up my files and contacts. Then reset the phone back to factory it might reinstate whatevers missing.
Will post how I get on
Yep, that worked... factory settings and automatic o2 program reinstalled everything back as it should be
