Can anyone help?
I am trying to change the setting within the icontacts app so when i want to send an e-mail it auto opens when i have selected a contact. I have moved the settings file and changed them and copied them back into the icontacts folder within my Kaiser. but it still wont work. Am i missing something really simple, or should i give up and go down the pub???
The file is found within the icontacts app

; want to send email. Default, blank, is auto-detect
EmailAccount[email protected]?????????????????????????
; This is how favorites are stored. A "Favorite" will use
; this category in the built-in contact field "Category"
FavoriteCategory=Favorites
; The default minimize action is to hide. If you want to
; exit instead, change to 1
ExitOnMinimize=1
; The default action to take after performing an action
; (such as make a call, send email, send SMS, etc) is to hide.
; To exit instead, change to 1
ExitOnAction=1
; Set this to 1 to speed up the keyboard animation, with only
; a slight decrease in coolness factor.

It only needs to be the account name that you have set up in Messaging, (ie Outlook or in my case Bellsouth). If your trying to set it up using your email address it's not going to work. Just use the account name for that email address and it should work.
Many thanks, i couldn't see the wood for the tree's.
My acccount name was one character different from my e-mail address.
Thanks

is there an x button to close version of icontact yet...i think im using 0.73 and its good but still doesnt have x button..is there a version that does out yet?
Yes sort of. In the settings.ini file put a 1 for this option
; The default minimize action is to hide. If you want to
; exit instead, change to 1
ExitOnMinimize 1
After you change this, just tap on the VERY TOP CENTER of your screen (where it says the time) and it will close it. And it will actually be closed, its not running in the background anymore.

Hello
I have 2 little questions that bug me a little bit and which i cant find a solution for (and yes i know where the search button is located ).
Situation 1
When im at the today screen (http://www.cryptex.be/tytn2.jpg) and i press the sms icon (the one in the middle under my clock), it goes directly to the inbox of my sms messages, which is great.
Now when i press the email messages icon (the one on the left under my clock), it doesnt go to the inbox of my emails (which i would like it to do). Instead it shows the menu SMS/MMS - Email example - "my emailaccount" - New email account. So i always have to press "my emailaccount" to go to my inbox. In the options menu i already disabled the option "show account chooser when opening messages" but then i always get redirected to the inbox of my SMS messages.
So in a nutshell, i would like it to go to the appropriate inbox when selecting the icons on the today screen:
- SMS inbox when i press sms icon (which already works)
- mail inbox when i press mail icon (which doesnt work atm)
then question nr2
When im calling the screen always, disables within like 10sec or less, which is very annoying when calling your voicemail and you have to press some numeric options. I always have to turn the screen on.
Maybe someone can point me how i can keep the screen enabled ?
I solved my problems now. By searching in the registry and then hitting the words in the seach option on this forum, i found a solution to both of my problems
I've made myself a little textfile where i keep my registry tweaks now
Its very hard to look for something on forums when you dont know what you actually are looking for, so for those who also want the solution for my 2 problems:
Code:
- Launch the e-mail inbox instead of the account chooser when clicking the mail icon
* Make sure the "E-Mail Sample" account is deleted out of your accounts.
* Make sure Outlook is set up to check your mail (only if using Outlook).
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder
from "1" to "0".

Code:
- Prevent Screen Going Off Durning a Call
* Edit the registry key HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastDormantDisplayDuringCall
from "1" to "0".

PS: my respect for all the people on the forum putting time and effort to make it possible to do all of this
I wonder if these tweaks could make their way into the next upgrade of Kaiser Tweak? I'm sure many people will find them both really useful.

Woops, I've just noticed my device doesn't have a Home folder under HTCHome.
I've done a search for "AlwaysOpenMailFolder" which I don't see to have anywhere else in the registry either.
Should I create the \Home\AlwaysOpenMailFolder key and then set the value? What sort of key is it (e.g. binary, string, dword)?
Many thanks

Try this and see if that works

That seems to refer to the HTC Touch app, which I don't have installed.

Just a quick note of thanks for taking the time to document the solutions that you found. I see too many threads where someone tracks down their own fix but they don't take the time to share it for posterity.
Usually when i am about to send a new SMS i type in the contacts name next to "To:" and i touch their name in drop down list. I recently flashed to one of Dutty's ROMs and now there is no drop down list.
Is this an easy fix?
Outlook To: Auto Complete
Same thing happened to me. No worries. I assume you want the auto complete/suggest to be turned back on.
This thread should help you out:
If you want Auto Complete function in "To:" field in SMS app, go to HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete and change value of the string MaxSuggestions. from 0 to 4 for example

There are 2 features I'd like make available. I am posting here to see if they've already been coded, and if not, some guidance on what i how to go about coding them (i have eclipse and the SDK for 1.6 all set up...i just need to know what native android files to modify (im guessing contacts.apk) to get the first item figured out, and then for the second item below, i'd like to see some sample code of how to set ring settings.
1) since most of our new calendar events are to meet with/call people in our contacts list, id like if the context menu for contacts could have a menu item added: Create Event. what would happen when selected is a new calendar event window would pop up, pre-populated with the contact's phone number in the Description field and their name in the Event Name field. the user could then modify these to add details. this mod would save us from having to go to the calendar and create an even to "call joe", only to have the reminder come up later and then have to navigate the contacts to find joe so we can call him. here, the event would have his number preloaded and could be clicked on (like a hyperlink) to load the number into the dialer
how do we hook into the contacts.apk file to make this type of mod? or, is the mod to be done some other way?
2) though we can select different ring tones for different contacts/groups, and we can also set different ring volumes/vibes, it would be nice to have a ring profile that would, say, only let the "family" group ring but stay silent for everyone else. this way, i can put the phone in this mode when going to sleep, but still be available for emergency family phone calls. this is much like the black list/white list app on xda for winmo.
Dude, stop double-clicking that Submit button. The mods are probably tired of deleting your double posts by now.
Moved To Dream Q&A
Hi all. There's this one tasker tutorial on how to send yourself emails, but it doesn't work. At least for me. You have to install SL4A and PY4A and all these kinds of stuff from random github links, both apps being old and not providing errors on failure of python scripts.
So I wrote a fresher, shorter python script to mail yourself, and using the tasker plugin QPyPlugin I managed to send myself an email.
REQUIREMENTS
NOTE: QPyPlugin is a paid app, and it's really limited, but it does the job for this case.
Tasker (duh)
QPython3 (or QPython)
QPyPlugin (Paid: 3$)
This python script
Steps
First of all you'll have to edit the script and enter your data instead of the data written. Enter your email, your password, and if you'd like to use another smtp server other than gmail enter it's data.
Make sure the script is located at "qpython/scripts3/" (or "qpython/scripts", depending if you're using QPython3 or QPython). It will stay there.
Let's create the simplest task we can: A greeting email.
1. Create a new task named whatever you'd like
2. Now lets write what we're going to send into a file. The default location is "temp/mailout.conf" and it's changeable inside the script. If you are going to change it make sure you'll be writing to the file you specified in the script instead of "temp/mailout.conf".
Add a "Write File" action. In the File field, enter "temp/mailout.conf". In the text, enter the following:
Code:
To: [email protected]
From: Tasker Greeting Task
Subject: Hello from tasker!
Hello there!
I can use multiple lines, and even tasker variables.
It is now %TIME.
Crazy, right?
That's the syntax for the config file. The first lines can be an field you'd like, but the first line must be To: <address>. After the fields, enter a blank line and after that, type the body.
Make sure "Append" is not selected, so it'd create a new file each time you run it.
3. Now let's run the script. Add a "QPyPlugin" action. Press the configuration button and select which QPython app you have (QPython or QPython3) and the script.
That's it! Try to run the task and check your email.
Ideas / actual usage
Send yourself the weather & the news every morning
E-Mail participants in a calendar event reminding them about it
Email yourself the phone's location when your battery is low (Which is what I use it for)
When someone fails entering the phone twice email yourself the phone's current location
The possibilities are endless!
FAQ
Q: I'm getting a ValueError with something about the first line of the file and I don't know what to do!
A: Really? It says so right there. The first line of the mail file must be "To: <address>".
Q: I'm getting another error!
A:
Make sure you inputted the correct username & password in the script.
If you changed the SMTP server make sure you entered it properly and it's working.
Make sure that the mail file you create matches with the path & name in the python script (defaults to "/temp/mailout.conf").
Q: How do I know you're not going to steal my precious data?!
A: Because you can see so for yourself in the script
Hey guys, I'm trying to automate a task I do often for work. When I get a potential new customer, I receive a standard email with their information in a specific format. For example:
Name - x
Email - y
Phone - z
I am trying to figure out a way to interact with this body of text and automate it as much as possible. I would have to add a new contact with the name, and send out a standardized email as well as a text.
I haven't really made complex tasks like this, so I'm a bit lost as to where to start. I am rooted. I would also like to note that I'm using a proprietary email app (Blackberry Hub+ Inbox), so I think it may be easiest to start off the task by manually copying the body of the text and then somehow triggering the task.
Thanks in advance!
This project is actually a little complex, and it also interested me so, while I usually don't do this, here is a taskernet share.
Requires AutoTools to be installed because a webscreen is used. On install, you must edit actions 15 & 16 in the task. These are variables for the email subject and body.
The profile triggers when data starting with e.g. "Name - John Doe" is copied to the clipboard. Then a button pops up on the right side of your screen and when you tap it the information is entered into a new contact form that you can edit, cancel or save.
A second button becomes available which triggers the composed email action.
The buttons will time out after 30 seconds without triggering the associated task. You can also "fling" them away to dismiss.
The task is expecting each piece of information to be on a separate line like:
Name - John Doe
Email - [email protected]
Phone - (999) 999-9999
The labels for each line are used as variables in the task to identify the associated data. Therefore, the order does not matter. Though if "Name - " is not first, the profile will not trigger. You would need to edit the regex in the profile context.
If, for example, an address is on multiple lines, the task will need to be modified to handle that.
To limit the activation of this profile to only when the data is copied in a specific app such as an email client, add that app as a context in the profile.
The task is heavily commented.
Finally, I add my username into the profile and task names to help avoid the possibly of namespace collisions (when the imported project has the same profile, task or variable names as existing profile, task or variables). The -ktmom can be removed.
