Favorite Contacts keep crashing - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

hey i just got my diamond and i was wondering why manilla.exe keeps crashing when i try to add a favorite contact....

Okay so i figured out why it was crashing...stupid reason, but it was because the contact pix i had, werent the proper size...but now i changed all the sizes, and its starting to crash again...anyone know how to fix this or reset the People tab so none are there so i can start from scratch?

Do not copy pest pim.vol
just and transfer contacts via syn..

Is there anymore to it when deleating a file?

I have searched w/o results.
When deleting a file on my storage sd card, I simply hold the styles down on it and select "delete". Is it that simple or is there another place it is stored that I need to go remove? The reason I ask is that being a new tilt owner, I am trying out different program/files to see which ones I want to keep. So I am adding and deleting files. I do understand that if it is a file that I am wanting to delete, I need to go to add & remove programs etc. Just looking for a way to COMPLETLY remove a file or program from my tilt once I decide to remove it w/o doing a hard reset.
Also seems like most of the time I check task manager on the top right corner, I noticed that the act syn is running, how do I keep this from running in the background. I keep stopping it but it seems to running when I check it later. I do have kaisertweak installed.
thanks

deleting e file and removing a program are two different things. wich one u are asking about?
deleting a file!
Just want to make sure of how to completely delete a file?
Windows Mobile is not like the desktop versions of Windows when it comes to deleting. The file is not sent to any sort of recycle bin. Once you delete it in the way you described, it is gone.
Thank you for your response
Scott
Resco explorer adds a "recycle bin" feature when u remove items using the program if you want one

PIM.VOL reader? Anyone?

I had a old HTC wiz, and saved the pim.vol for my contacts, is there anyway i can open this file on my computer to get the numbers and names? i know i can just backup my curent and then move the file to my new phone and bam i have them but it would just be easier for me to merge them on my computer then me having to write all 700 numbers and names down.
You might be able to use pim backup for this (Stickied at the top of the Development and Hacking forum).
Use it to back up your current PIM.vol and then copy over your old.
Then run the restore feature of pim backup and only add new records don't delete the old ones.
You'll probably have to do some cleanup work if there are any duplicates though.
Hope this helps.
Unforetunately I'm not aware of a way to do this on your PC. If you find one please share.
I know this is kind of old but i stumbled across it and wanted to give an answer to what i did. This isn't the nicest way, but if you open the pim.vol with notepad (be sure to check the 'word wrap' option) and search for one contact, you will find them in the middle of all of the garbled stuff. You can then copy each one out of there.
thx billie for this suggestion... it is messy but better than nothing!!!

How to not show all folders in Album view!?

I have allot of program folders with grafix in them on my phone, and I don't want to scroll thrue all of them when I'm using Camera -> Album...
I know how to add folders to the Ignored list in registry...
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum\Ignored\
but I cant get it to work with folders in the 'Storage card'...
Anyone that can help me?
'I just want to say BIG thanx to everybody in this forum!! Without you I would be completely lost!'
I have the same problem. Plus, I would like to open a picture in HTC album from file explorer, but it always just opens the default album, not the picture I want to open.
Any help is appreciated!
Yeah, I would be lost without the forum as well!

make a .lnk file with the following:
20#"Windows\htcalbum.exe" -directory:\my documents
if you want another folder just replace my documents with what ever you want

Can block all folders except in Internal Storage..
Hello,
the only solution I'm aware of is to set the 'hidden' attribute on the folders which should not be visible in the HTC-Album.
In my experience each individual image has to have the hidden attribute set, rather than the folders.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424784
Hello Dave,
yes, you're right.
I used "Total Commander/CE", and tried to set the hidden-attribute on a folder called "Musik", and selected "Recurse subdirs". Then I checked some subfolders an saw that the folders were not marked "hidden" (that does work with "Total Commander 32" on my PCs). But after a reboot, HTC-Album didn't list any of the subfolders inside the "Musik"-folder. So I thought it was enough to mark the top-folder hidden to hide all subfolders, too.
I just checked the folder again and saw that Total-Commander/CE had marked all files 'hidden'.
So it's not as easy as I thought.

It's easy enough from a desktop computer in USB disk drive mode.
I don't generally use HTC Album but this is a fix I have to do with my music album art in order to keep the program actually usable. It's a really flawed bit of software IMO.

Too Many messaging / email "system" accounts

Hi Folks,
I just came across an interesting problem with my newly imaged Kaiser. When I went to create a new e-mail account, it gave me an error saying that i already had the maximum number. When I open the messaging directory, I see that i have 5 ( yes count'm five) different system accounts.
1) why are there so many?
3) which one is the one that is actually being used?
2) how do I delete all of the extra ones?
Here are all of the accounts right now
1) SMS/MMS
2) Blackberry
3) System
4) System
5) System1
6) System2
7) System3
thanks for all the help!
thanks!

Hi,
this happens due to improper installation of the blackberry client.
best hint: make a hardreset and reinstall blackberry.
cheers

yeah, it's hard, I know. I've gone through this several times. I currently have 2 system accounts and can live with that, but the only way I found to get rid of them was by doing a hard reset....
Remove cemail.vol, which will delete all of your accounts - or see if you can remove each account manually?

deleting cemail might destroy BB functionality. afaik, one cannot remove the system account manually, but I may be wrong here...
that may still be a viable option. I may have to uninstall and re-install blackberry. But at least I won't have to do completely redo the rest of the setup.
thank you both for your suggestions!
See the DSM type number at the bottom of the account picker in the invalid system volume? take the first five or six numbers & do a registry search. Delet the parent key associated with it or, as I do it, use SK tools & delete, using the same method to search, the pimmail volume associated to it.
Easy!

Hmm,
Interesting approach, thanks! I tried searching the registery for the account name, but not the CSLID. I'll try that. The only problem, how do I know which of the 5 is being used?
With the amount of time, I've spend looking into this...i could've done a hard reset and resetup everything by now. LOL

Adding smileys to whatsapp

Hi guys. This might be a long shot and not doable, but thought I'd enquire.
Is there a way to add my own smileys/images/gifs so that they're integrated with all the the default ones and can be added to text, rather than attaching from the gallery?
Thought I'd experiment. I just downloaded the latest apk for whatsapp , 'com.whatsapp-212158.apk' to my laptop, renamed it to com.whatsapp-212158.zip and opened it. Inside the zip folder are thousands of .png files, and all the smileys are 48 x 48. When I then extracted the contents of the zip folder to another folder, the smileys are in a sub folder called drawable-hdpi-v4. Could I simply resize and add my own .png files, rename the folder to com.whatsapp-212158.apk, and install? Would it work?
Even if it did, every time I wanted to add new smileys, I presume I'd always have to work with the apk and reinstall on the phone, or is there a whatsapp file already installed on the phone that could be edited? Only files I see on the phone are three different msgstore.db.crypt8 files in the whatsapp database folder.
Thanks.
PS, I'm not rooted and it just ocurred to me that I'm probably going to be told that I'll need to be rooted to access any editable whatsapp emoticon folder?
What will it give you? Others will not be able to see it I guess.
I don't know, you might be right. Why might they not see it?

Because they have to do the same thing, for example if you change a (smile) (img15) and replace it with (wink) they will still receive it as a code (img15) and the application will transfer it to the original image .. a smile

You're right. But I'm not intending to change existing smileys , my intention is to add new ones which will have a new name ending in .png.
eg, xxx.png. Even though recipients won't have it to use themselves, they should be able to see it I imagine?

How can they see it if they don't have it?
When you send emoji using for example whatsapp you send a code not image and the application translate it.
Ah. In that case, I guess it won't work. Thanks for the help. :good:
