Hi
Hada quick look through forum cant find any useful info on other topics.
Does any oen knwo a way if changing the outlook left softkey from delete back to new sms??
I was using my old wizard for 2 years and its kind of a reflex action to hit the mail button then left for new message. Ive allready deleted 3 messages as a result of this.
If any one knows of a reg edit or an 3rd party app it would be really handy and allow me to be a phone robot again
Looking for a solution, too...
thanks in advance..

See if this .cab helps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343469
Nope tried that one, it only seems to give me the option for chaning the 2 keys on the "desktop", it had that pre installed. Thanks for your input though denco
Oh well i guess i`ll just have to get used to it, its not the end of the world but i would have liked to be able to change them
If anyone else knows of any other apps please let me know, or if there a way to revert back to WM5 office (Outlook, Excel, Word) that too would prob so the trick
Hi there I have the O2 xda stellar, when I see pictures of it most of the time it always shows a large time display with a black screen. How do I set this up?
Thanks
Keith
I think you need
HTC Home
I cannot remember exactly
Or just flash your phone and 90% of ROMs have it already set up
Can you please tell me what this is flash your phone and 90% of ROMs have it already set up?
Thanks
Keith
O2 Stellar here aswell
Personally i use HTC Home (Clock etc) and also HTC Home Customizer, just adds a few options etc to turn the background of the clock transparent etc, looks nice when ur using backgrounds n stuff.
P.s if u dont know what flashing ur phone is etc its best u avoid it ^^ i just did it recently & crapped myself :/
Thanks, Where can I get HTC home from
Thanks again

Search is your friend (no doubt theres ppl planning to jump & shout SEARCH! right now) but that'll work, no sure if its the latest version or not, if u want the latest do some searching etc.
Anyways,
just download the cab file, dump it on ur phone, then on ur phone open the file & install... u may need to soft reset after installation (poke the little round hole at bottom of phone with the stylus) & bang should work
Thanks for your help

Hey Folks
I upgraded to the official Hong Kong ROM upgrade on my HTC Diamond & whilst impressed by the speed improvements I have a major bug that annoys the hell out of me & thus hope some genius reading this can help fix the problem
On the home tab using the "phone" icon it then shows recent calls. However the left hand button that used to show "contacts" now shows "video call". I never want to make a video call & contacts is far more useful .... but there is no obvious way to change the function
Hoping someone can help
Chill dude.
This ain't a bug, it's a feature.
Personally, I do find video-call usefull, but ill prefer "send SMS"
Do U really need contacts? You can use the keypad T9 to find the person U want to call easily...
Circle your finger around the middle button and it rips thru contacts!

Use your favorite registry editor to navigate to [HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila] and change the following values:
"HomeLSKPath=addrbook.lnk" 'that's the application you want to use
"HomeLSKText=Contacts" 'that's the text that will be displayed on the left soft key on your Home screen
Do a soft reset.
Now your Left Soft Key will display Contacts, so when you press it, you shoul go directly to your contacts. Enjoy!
I've changed mine to Comm Manager.

Do you know the keys for the phone app? I bet there are 100 people wanting those. I think that is what kgb-agent is looking for.

I don't have a clue how to change softkeys within the phone app, sorry. Looks like I have misread the original post...
Thanks Heretic & others
Yep ... me & 1000 others want to change the key in the phone app
With CT's rom version 4 if I tap Phone soft key on Today screen then tap the little phone icon between the video call and menu softkeys it removes the keypad and leaves me with last call and contacts list...
No ideas anyone .... it is really bugging me
For me i just disabled the phone skin with the Advanced Config tool. It reverts back to the old WM6 design. I still prefer that. Do note that once u do this, the vibration when a call connects is disabled.
Hey KGB-Agent, I have exactly the same problem...and it is bugging me as well! I upgraded my dutch ROM yesterday :-( Another problem I have is that when I look at my contacts the SIM contacts are not displayed, even when I configure this in Advanced Config Tool...HELP! Anyone else an idea how to fix???
Your contacts are opened when your in the phone app, just scroll! why do you want it to open another contacts process when its already there?!? up and down or as i already said circle the middle button with your finger
Hi Blaze,
Circling with my finger in the middle button doesn't work for me. Furthermore, with "Contacts" I could quickly scroll down with the Alphabet on the right to f.e. the letter Z. The way you recommand it takes me ages to get to the "Z"!
I called the HTC helpdesk, they advised me to do a Hard Reset. Of course...that didn't work...:-(
Go to start and choose contacts its the same screen.
I agree the videocall is a bad choice from the makers of this rom.
Most people do not use this kind of calls.
Grtzzz
I have the same issues with the loss of functionality Ries
I cant believe there are not more complaints
I emailed HTC 4 days ago with no answer :<
@kgb-agent: I phoned the helpdesk. They said I had to do a hard-reset!?! I couldn't believe it, but okay, I tried it...and what do you think: I still have the problem! :-( I guess we have to live with it...bad choice from the developers...
same problem
up
Two things:
1) why don't people use the smart dialling feature? this is where when in the phone keypad, you just spell out your contact using the alphanumeric keypad (it uses T9 to search) and it displays your search results in real time at the top of the dial pad... MUCH easier than the contacts screen - try it.
2) circling the middle button with your finger does NOT work for me, i have no idea how that is working for you since the diamond is not meant to be able to scroll using that 'wheel' unless you have installed some 3rd party software for it, or its unique to your ROM/region.
Hi Guys,
i have just installed this CAB: BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab
But i would just prefere the "old" Touch HD Keyboard/Keyad etc.
How can i get them back? Because as far as i have seen BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab replaces them :-(
Is there any CAB out there (already searched but found nothing) or can anyone send me the files for the old Keyboards (Keypad, conpact Qwertz, complete Qwertz)
Thanks a lot,
BigD
Does uninstall and soft reset not bring the old keyboard back?
Post #3 HTC Keyboard (old) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482258
no it didn´t, now i did a hard-reset, was necessary anyway
i have the same problem i want my origional keyboard back how do u hard reset and what will this do?

Hard reset will restore device to factory settings. i.e. it will be as if you just flashed a rom, everything will have been lost/reset i.e. all software, apps, contacts, emails, everything on device will have been lost except what was on SD card. You will need to set up your device again.
To perform a hard reset:
Turn off device
Hold down volume up & volume down and press power on
Continue to hold volume up & volume down until you are presented with white screen and text.
Follow text intructions and press vol up to reset to factory settings
EDIT
Are you just trying to set original keyboard as default after you uninstalled a keyboard?
If so try going to Start > Settings > Personal > Input and select keyboard
Alternatively install SIP Change and then open it and select keyboard to be used as default
thankyou very much!
so if i copy all my devices contacts etc over to the card with the cabs etc. and reload them onto the phone after the hard reset there will be minimal change i.e. i dont have to fish around for all my contacts again lol.
thanks again in advance
edit: the only reason i want the old one back is that finger keyboard 2.1 has messed it all up. im running windows 6.1 the standard rom. no keyboard will open when browsing web and the keyboard doesnt even open all the time on messages.
again many thanks
sorry again i am a noob...
how do i copy contacts to my card memory, there isnt enough space on the sim card for even half of them and i cant find them in file explorer is there something im missing? its probably an onvious one aswell.
sorry.
cheers
i have installed the sip change now, the keyboard that comes up when selecting keyboard is a dodgy little buttoned non standard one for some reason i think im guna have to reset the device hopefully this will get me the hd touches keyboard back... again sorry just need to know how to get my contact safe before resetting
thanks

When in email, sms etc and keyboard pops up, have you tried selecting up arrow beside the wee keyboard symbol at bottom and selecting different keyboard?
To backup contacts you have a few options. You can either sync contacts with your pc Outlook or use free backup apps like PIM Backup & Sashimi or 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Sprite Backup & Resco Backup
yes ive tried the switcing input method onto "keyboard" infact ive tried them all to no avail still either this dodgy little crappy keyboard or one of the other input devices, im going to hard reset i think its best. thanks very much ill use the active sinc for it.
you have been a great help tyvm
update a hard reset has sorted this problem i will do more research before installing keyboards in the future many thanks
hi
i just got my tattoo today(yes i know i should have waited for a wilf fire but this was in my budget) well it was just made craze to buy android and im kinda lost here(in a Winmo user) can u kindly guide me on the following and im writing this after searching in this forum so kindly help
1. how to set various ring tones i mean my personal tone as my incoming ring tone on the Winmo i just need to move the tone called ringtone on the base
of the phone memory i searched my phone i cant do it on the android phone
2. on the winmo i had some thing called people ie i can put the contacts of the people i call often on a Widget on the screen i go to it and touch the name and i can call him can u pls tell me how to do the same here
if u can kindly point me out to the thread also i would be most obliged
thanks in advance
1. You can install some app for that, like Ringo or similar. But, you can do it step by step:
It’s pretty straightforward in truth. Here’s how:-
Connect the phone to your computer via the USB cable
Open the Notifications screen on your phone (pull down a finger from the top of the screen to the bottom) and select the USB Storage notification
Choose “Mount”
Browse to the SD Card on your PC
Look for a folder called media, if it’s not there, create it by right clicking and choosing New Folder, then rename the folder to be media
Inside the media folder, you need a folder called audio, again, if it’s not there create it as above
Inside the audio folder, you can create a subfolder for the sound category you want to change-
ringtones – for sound files you want to use as ringtones
alarms – for sound files you want to use for any alarms
notifications – for incoming notifications such as SMS alerts, emails, etc
Copy the sound or music file which you’d like to use as your ringtone in to the relevant folder
You should now see your sound or music file listed in the menu for selection in the relevant sound settings menu (to access the ringtone/notification settings, press the hard Menu key from one of your home screens, then press Settings then Sounds and Display)

2. If you are using SenseUI you just need to use one of the SenseUI widgets. Or, you can just press and hold on your Home screen and select Add Shortcut - Contact

how do i load new theme and all on this phone sorry if this is a stupid question im a Winmo user and just got this phone
thanks in advance
There are no official themes for the Tattoo...just one black theme and a transparent lockscreen...also you can modify your bootscreen...
look in the themes and apps section of this forum...
As dejandekic just said - to add a contact, just: press with your finger and hold on your Home screen and a new window pops up. then select Add Shortcut -> Contact
