Hi All
In my contacts lists I have the windows contacts and the SIM contacts, all there to confuse me.
is there anyway i can only show the windows / outlook contacts when accessing the contacts on my phone ? I dont really want to delete the SIM contacts as I use them in another phone occasionally
Any ideas ?
Cheers
one idea for you, SEARCH
The answer is easy to find. You gotta work for your knowledge on this site.
waste of post instead of helping...i guess so is mine but i would help if i knew or not post at all..
well documented that setting must be cooked into a Rom. If you simply toggle the Registry Key it will reset itself!
Kaiser tweak setting does it for me when advanced cong did not work.

Reboot, many reports that it doesn't survive a soft reset/power-down & up.

It has worked for me when I have reboot numerious times, after flashing 3 different roms L26, Dutty's and others. Some of the programs I use require soft resets after installation. I usually have to got through at least 4 resets to get my programs and tweaks installed properly.

Nice Answer and terribly helpful that.
I did infact try a search which brought little that would help other than a hundred or so posts containing the odd word.
Please stop having a go at those who want some seemingly simple help advice. If you know it GIVE IT.....
I use a range of different forums and all have been great to use with a wealth of information to help and guide us mortals out of a hole as well as offering info on how to make the best of things. These forums are backed up by some pretty knowledgeable folk. This is one of the best I've used.
However its also one of few forums where some of its members who deem themselves as gods regularly seem to want pound those who simply want some help.
I often read posts on here where people have asked a pretty simple question and got berrated for it. All they get as a response is '...SEARCH..SEARCH...SEARCH......SEARCH.... ' JUST HELP for godsake
C'mon man, theres soooo much info on here ,IT CAN BE hard to search for the right answer especially if the correct search terms or keywords arent being used, it can become frustrating for anyone seeking help and therefor easier just to create a new post. No ones fault just the sign of a great forum.
Please though....have patience and offer help. We're not all gods
Cheers
use the file under my attachment. it will hide ur sim contacts and it will survive soft resets/power down. This cab was posted under L26's V9 thread.

Glad you found it ssunstone. Some people in these forums can be really anal about giving out info and get off on telling them to search. Sometimes its valid but I see many times when it isnt.
I agree for new users to the site it can be incredibly confusing due to the shear volume of info and threads, added to this is the fear that doing something wrong may brick your expensive device its no wonder that people ask for conformation.

Hi!
I just installed "HTC Touch Home Plugin" onto my Herald. It creates an empty area in the home screen and shell32.exe crashes all the time.
I updated my device to WM6 using:
HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
and i installed the touch plugin using:
HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin.cab (1,46MB)
Any ideas why this is happening? I really want the touch plugin and not the SPB one so please dont link to other apps that do "almost" the same thing.
Theres probably 3-4 topics on the top 10 list containing questions and (some) answers to what you seek.
I noticed that you are reltativly new here (me too, somewhat ) so I will give the adwise I have been given and probably a couple thousand other new ones have recieved too....read, read, search, read, and when you feel that you are about to give up, read more.
When I first came to this forum, I wanted everyone with the knowlege I need to come to my rescue ASAP, when I had a problem with something, but thats not the way it works here.
Ofcourse most here are willing to help out, but when the same questions come a million times, then its just tiresome, and no one bothers to answer cause its been answered before.
But I will try a little adwise, if your HTC Home doesnt work, try another one, remove the one you installed, and install another one, maybe make some changes to some of the files after you have installed. I made (or made a repost) of how to make the homescreen work with your native language OS..

hi!
thanks for the reply, i incorrectly thought i had searched but i had searched for something else on this forum earlier. I apologize for making another post about this!
no need for apologizing, it was just info
How safe are they?
will they brick my phone?
I'm looking for the nice looking dialer screen the one that covers the screen with nice numbers and cyan and black background.
Well as you see this is the first time im using a smartphone.
I think i will have to read a whole noobie guide explaining everything and not just the basics.
Thank you very much.
I'm loving the Tilt a lot.
cabs
cabs are installer files similar setup files on a pc (very overly simplified). most cabs can be successfully by going to settings-system-remove programs so you can try it out and remove it if you don't like it.
if you have the right installer/cab files for your particular device (ppc, smartphones don't have touch screens) you will not brick your device.
you will not brick your device if you first HardSPL (see sticky) and use the files Dutty has collected and has available.
READ THE WIKI FIRST - most general questions can be answered by reading it.

A partial answer to your questions:
Regarding cab files. In general anything you find here will be relatively safe. BUT things do occassionally go wrong and indeed some cabs can change settings and change the behaviour of other applications in a way you do not like. For this reason you should (I would say MUST) use a good full backup application. I use SPB Backup but you might prefer Sprite. If you do a full backup before installing Cabs then you can always restore the backup if things go wrong. (It's also good practice anyway in case of fatal crashes or corruption)
The Kaiser is a PPC not a Smartphone (It's better he said controversially). There are differences, and indeed when googling for cabs and programmes you should go for the PPC (ARM) versions not the Smartphone versions.
Regarding dialer skins - use the search button or go to the "Search XDA-Dev using Google" sticky post for other search possibilities.
Don't forget to read the Wiki - linked on the brown bar near the top of the screen.
Also don't forget that most apps and reg changes that apply to WM6 will apply well to the Kaiser. So if you search and find a WM6 cab or such on a forum for another device - it will likely be ok to install ok on your Kaiser. (But don't forget my backup suggestion above!)
Cheers
Mike
PS Welcome on-board, enjoy
EDIT: I see Apposite beat me to some of the above!!
Thanks very much.
Well a thing is I don;t know how to do backups.
I also tried downloading the colored kyeboard cab, but it didn't worked.
Anyways thanks again.
I'll be posting often
i always backup with spb backup,
it's quite good and i'm very satisfied.
I just started reading the Wiki
Fast question
What does flash do?
and from your last replay, Spb? backup
yes of course spb backup
No no I meant what is the SPB backup?
What it does/stand for, and how do i get it?
Messenger/AOL/Yahoo MSN
Every time I try to connect to any of this, It loads for a long times but never connects me.
Am I loosing something?

Hello,
Go to the Spb Software House website site. Just google it and then you will find Spb Backup. I am new to the pocket pc world myself but try not to get in a hurry and install all the cool stuff (cabs) on this website. Make sure you understand what these programs are before installing. I made that mistake and after HOURS of reading and installing... I had to do a hard reset.
For backups I use Sprite, but will probably one day use Spb Backup as I use three of there products and all are GREAT! While on their website check out Spb Pocket Plus... It's AWESOME, IMHO
Many thanks for the help.
Another battery thread...
I know i know... a millions of threads asking issues and stuff about the battery.
Believe me, I have been looking deep into this site for battery threads but non have helped me.
I just want to know what is the best solution for my battery to last more than a day?
This phone drains it way to fast.
Is there any battery that can last a lot longer for this phone so I can order?
Thanks...

It made a huge difference for me when I installed the 10 button comm manager and turn off 3G during the day. I only turn it on when I'm using the web browser or downloading something. Battery now lasts 2x as long.
what the 10 Button manager does?
I already shut the 3g and wi-fi.
What is this cab called?

YEAH! it worked! finally the dialer lol!

Hey I have another question...
I already downloaded this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350700
But I'm afraid something happens to my Tilt, and I don't know how to run flashes and stuff.
I downloaded a backup SPB but dont know how to use it.
The main reason I downloaded that big rom is because I just read somewhere around this forums that it's the best bettery saver rom ever.
Help...
Im learning abit more, just downloaded the 10 com mannager and disabled the same as you did.
Hope this helps.
You need to CID unlock to put that rom on your tilt.
I would like to think I am pretty tech savvy, but for some odd reason I can not get any of these to work. I am trying to get dutty's newest one plus the touchflo cube to work on my phone, but I guess I just cant grasp the concept of getting it to work. I have an AT&T Tilt.
If someone could set something up and call me and walk me through doing this, then I will literally pay you to do it. Just send me a private message or email me to set something up.
[email protected]
Thanks in advance - ePedemIx
P.s. I dont want people telling me to search the forum, and all that because I have searched to the end of this forum and back, and Downloaded several different files and I havent had no such luck.
Sent you a PM
Unfortunately, people like me are going to tell you to search.
However, you need to search in the Kaiser Upgrading forum. Check out this thread to get started. It will guide you to everywhere you need to look to be successful.
!!PLEASE DO NOT CREATE A NEW THREAD IN THE UPGRADING FORUM!!​
That will irritate a lot of people...
Why doesn't anybody cook this into roms? For that matter, why isn't this toggleable somewhere in Settings by default, huh Microsoft?!
Looks like someone didn't read the sticky...
[UPDATED] >> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<

As funny as dooby's reply was, oddly enough, some people do not like having the cabs stay on their device. It wastes space and is a bit annoying to navigate after reflashing a rom. With the advent of the UC capable roms, I would have to say that if you like keeping your cabs around, customize it into your setup. You can read about UC here and here.

You be quiet with that oversized waste of space post.
I was complaining about WM deleting cabs from my storage card. It doesn't bother me to delete them from the device itself. I still think it should be a toggleable setting at least to exclude the SD card.
Its actually kind of helps me to have the cabs delete themselves. I just keep a folder on my PC with all the cabs -- then when I put it on my Storage Card after a Hard Reset or New Rom, I can tell what is installed easy cuz the cabs disappear. I don't want them to stay on the phone. Just my preference.

I know what you were asking. I linked you to the video because "it is always better to reply than to start a new thread" and I think you should have made use of XDA's "best kept secret, the Search button."
The former would allow you to ask specific ROM makers why they don't include. The latter would have given you the answer you seek from the ROM makers themselves (since they've all been asked this question before).
You didn't actually think you were the first to ask this question, did you?
Nope, not that it matters. It was an open question to all, except smart asses like you. I wasn't asking rom makers specifically but everybody and their opinions.
I know how to Search, I do it all the time, except I don't have the time for it as I'm at work right now.
I thank you for wasting time ans space again, though, with a second 100% unhelpful post, my good sir.
Edit: I'm done here.

I for one did wanted to cook it into my past and current releases but never had any luck getting it to work. The only rom I've every used that had it working correctly was pdaviet roms. But I have spent some time with my up coming rom and was able to cook it into it. So my next release Open Touch v4.0 does have it included.
For me it has been a learning process working with the base rom itself and there are many things we want it to do but some times it just will not work the way we want it to.
Regards,
Well a read only cab file stays after installation. I assign all my cab files "read only" attributes, either from desktop PC before I put in on my phone, or use total commander to do that.
I didnt know this was a Debate just why it has access to remove the cabs from our memory cards. I myself hate cab delete because ive used a number of roms lately all of them Crash hard on me. I think i figured out what is going on but i work 12 hour shifts and if it freezes up and i have to hard reset at work i need to get the things i use most back up on the phone.
Try sprite backup...
After hard reset I can get back to the original state in minutes.
Backup folder
Just copy your cabs twice. Once to the phone for install, and once to your PIM backup folder. That way you'll always have a spare. You can copy those and reinstall your important apps anytime.
Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:
