Hi
I am new to this forum and to HTC. I have set up my new phone with S2UL, Ifonez and Icontact. I have got a number of my apps working fine from Ifonez but I cant seem to find the files or commnads to load Windows Mobile 6 built in applications such as the following
Communication Manager
Task Manager
Programmes.
I have been searching through Google and these forums in order to find out but cant seem to find anything, so sorry if this is an obvious question.
I am also using Icontact Burt edition which is mostly working fine. However I am finding one or two contacts are displaying underneath the top bar so that I cannot really make out the entry. I only discovered it by searching for an entry that I knew was there but couldn't see in the list. Icontact seems to display a screen at a time rather than a continuous list so I am finding it difficult to see who these entries relate to. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Greg

Thanks for the quick reply.
If I understand this correctly I create a text file with the appropriate code in it and then rename the file with the extension lnk. Then I point one of ifonez launch icons towards this file. Is that correct?
If it is I still cant seem to see a code for Communication Manager or to open the Programs folder. Have I misunderstood?
You would simply make a .txt file with the "data" of the thing you want to link to, save the file, and then change the extension of the file from .txt to .lnk.
For example, to create a shortcut to Settings>System>Memory>Main, you would make a text document with this in it:
20#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4
Save the file as "Memory", and then use a file explorer/manager to change the extension from "Memory.txt" to "Memory.lnk"
The link to the Comm Manager is: 39#"\Windows\CommManager.exe"
The link to the Programs folder [in the Start Menu] is 40#"Windows\Start Menu\Programs\"
Sorry for the delay in replying, I have been caught up with work and unable to look at this forum until now. So thanks for your reply it was really helpful.
Colleagues,
I know you can open Excel and Word files using the Fuze, but can you also edit?
Regards.

yes............
for word, the format will be a little different, so think of it more as a text editor
it's great to be able to listen to music, browse the web for resources, and type out reports all at the same time (take that, iphone )
... with a search feature. Does it exist?
I'm currently using Text Edit, but it's pretty horrible for large text files, and doesn't have searching. I use Vi sometimes, but that's just a pita.
Anyone know of a free text editor with search capabilities?
I gotta say, vi, though even more vim (the "enhanced" version) is probably one of the very best (if not ABSOLUTELY the best) text editors ever written. Yes, it does have a *VERY* steep learning curve, but when you really get to know it well, there is absolutely no faster or more powerful way of editing text files.
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Vi.
Does anyone know any other alternatives? Perhaps, is there a way to use nano?
Is there *ANY* other way to edit a text document aside from Text Edit and Vi??
documents to go?
quickoffice?

QuickOffice can only open/view files; it cannot edit at all. And Documents to Go is too expensive for my budget. (I only need .txt file editing anyway.)
I guess I should rephrase: Is there ANY other FREE way to edit a text document on the G1 aside from Text Edit and Vi?
Are the text editing options on the G1 really that limited?
Pick your favorite open source console text editor and compile it for arm.

How would I go about this? Any guides on here that explain this?
Yeah give me pico.
This task really isn't for newbs, but here's an idea of what is involved anyways:
http://android-tricks.blogspot.com/
I have done some searching, I cant find a text editor that I like. I would like one that can run with SU privileges so I can modify scripts I keep in /system/sd. If I need to I can remount it so that it would save, that wouldnt be a big deal, I would just like to not have to move them to my sdcard, edit, then move back.
I am also not familiar with linux so vi isnt for me if that would work, just looking for a decent alternative with a GUI if possible.
There used to be a cool app in the market called ptexteditor or something but its gone now
Somebody please compile nano... If I knew how to do it... I would... but I'm too noob for the instructions that were given a few posts back...
ES File explorer
For editing text files you could use ES File explorer. I found I was able to open, edit and save my userinit.sh and user.conf. This is quite enough for me!
Sure enough, it is not able to open /system/sd, but it's ok, because you can copy the files from the terminal. You could even make a simple script that would do it for you..
Until someone compiles nano or vim
I'm bringing this thread back from the dead simply because this thread is the first Google result from XDA for text editors, and the discussion here is the exact one that was going on in my head (around vi and nano). I eventually found 920 Text Editor, which has programmatic syntax highlighting, root mode, and is free:

Thanks,
Ben
also to be considered is this thread about 'nano' the terminal-based editor -- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552287
Besides ThinkFree, are there any other apps for the I9000 that allow you to create .txt or.doc files?
Mini Diary and Memo seem to be proprietary format apps and I can't see where the files are stored either. Can you transfer/read these files onto your PC?
TIA
Theres a heap of txt editors and notepad apps on market. I never had need to read txt files since i use springpad. I just import txt files via web page. Can't wait for release of desktop app

Thanks icky.
I'm not familiar with Springpad, but is there an outliner app for the I9000, that would be very cool.
I'm using Ecco on my desktop.
Does anyone know a good app I can download view and edit Excel or Word files on? I have tried:
OfficeSuite
E-cell xls
Word To Go
I have attached a copy of the Excel file I am trying to manipulate on the G-Tab. I am able to open, view, and edit the file (well sort of edit). If you view the file file via Excel on you computer you will see it has "check boxes" but I am not able to see them on any of the above mentioned apps. Does anyone know of an app that I can do this with?
The form is being created for use in a physicians' clinic, to help avoid the the clutter of paper and eligible writing.
I was not able to upload (size limit) the Word file I want to be able to edit. But this file is filled with "drop down" menus which do not show up when opened on the G Tab.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Dave
That Excel sheet is full of Windows Forms controls. Since those are ActiveX controls I doubt *very* seriously you are going to find any programs on the G Tablet that will allow this file to work correctly. ActiveX, if you aren't familiar with it, is extremely Windows-centric. And at this point, fairly out dated.
