Im trying to reset this i want my dial button to open the original phone app ... instead of the aosp .... i would also like to do the same with the contacts plz help ... i understand i goto manage apps but which one after???
in manage apps, I think you'd look for "dialer" or something with the word "dialer" in it, open that, and click "clear defaults". Then, the next time you try to use the dialer, it should give you a couple of options of which to use.
Same thing goes for contacts, should be something in there with the name "contacts" or something along those lines

theres no clear default for the dialer .. but there is for contacts n people i really want to change the dialer ........... could it b contacts or people?
then its named something besides dialer. just go through your list of apps you don't recognize. and make sure you hit menu to change the filter (in some roms)

I have one very important missing in my Diamond.
When I want to call one number that is written somewhere (if someone send it to me by SMS or if I write it in a note) usually in my Qtek s200 I copied and then pasted the number in phone (the option paste was in the menu)... now in the diamond I don't find this option in the menu!?!?!?!?! How is it possible?!?! Do I have to write it somewhere else and then use it in phone?!?!!
Please... do someone have an idea??
Thnx!!
Urosh
I also am missing this feature is it hidden somewhere??
i dont have this problem
errr im not sure how you did it on your old phones but this is how i do it for an sms for example: click on SMS in TF3D, get rid of keyboard, then highlight the text/number i want in the received message, then long press on the highlighted text and menu pops up so say copy (and some other options) i then click copy...
go to where i want to put the number, long press on screen again, same menu pops up, i select paste... whats the problem, am i missing something here?
Usually if you want to call and the number is in SMS, it is usually highlighted and you can click it and it will ask if you want to call it.

The first part is ok.... but then if you want to call the number that you have copied (it means that it is in your clipboard) how do you do this? In the s200 I started Phone and then Menu and there was an option Paste and the number that I copied was pasted ready to be dialed. But now here there is no paste option in the Menu.
Kraize92... and if it is not?!? Paper and pencil??

This may be specific to the dialer used in your ROM. But generally, you can copy the number in your email/text/mms or whatever. Then when you open your phone's dialer, if you have a Menu option (lower right soft key in my case), you should have an option to paste. It will then put the number into your phone pad.

I realised that the paste function is present in the phone status menu (and not in phone keypade menu), but it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation. The problem still persists!! Any suggestion how to paste a copied number in the phone keypad???

No, I'm not using the ROM you referenced. Never even touched the Diamond before. Just speaking in generalities based on my experience with other HTC devices and Windows Mobile.
So I'm not sure I understand what you mean when you say "it is impossible to use because it comes out while you have a conversation". Are you saying you're trying to paste a number into the dialer WHILE you are having a conversation on the phone?
Normally when you paste a number into the dialer it will open the keypad and put the number into the same field as if you'd pushed the soft number buttons on the screen. It doesn't matter if the keypad is up or not when you paste. You just need to have the paste option in your dialers menu.

Exactly this is the problem... I don't have a paste option in the dialer menu... like I had in my Qtek s200!
What can I do!?
Please help!
Thnx!
Urosh
Yes. I met this issue too.
Anyone? Thanks.
/////////////
Sorry about my English. Highlight the phone number received, such as SMS, to restrain the phone number, click Copy.
Then enter the dialer, click on " # " in the lower right corner on the menu and already is the desired Paste.
I have Menu->Paste in my Touch Diamond, Touch Pro, Atom Life and Xda II Mini.
From experience, the Menu->Paste command normally went missing if you installed other dialer. Even after you uninstall them, it won't be there anymore. So far, I never tried to find the solution for it.
Anyway, if you're using the stock rom, hard reset would definitely bring back Menu->Paste. I'm not sure about cooked rom.
Ok, so when I used to start typeing a contacts name in the 'to' field of message, it would give me a list of names or numbers after putting in a few letters or numbers. Now I have to put in a couple letters/numbers and then go to check name. Anyone have any idea how i turned this off.

ok, now I feel a bit retarded, don't remember doing that before, but guess it was. Thanks.
Have loaded any new touch keyboards to your device. For me, that feature will stop working after I add any new keyboards. It will come back for a bit after a soft reset, but then it goes away again. Once I remove the offending keyboard, then it works again... I wish I could have both.
I have a similar problem if I use large title bar. When its loaded, the roller wheel on the side no longer controls call volume... Again, wish I had both!

You should't have to enter a space to get the options. It should appear as your typing.
As mentioned above if you installed a keyboard from another device, such as the Touch or Diamond, with T9/XT9 you will lose this auto complete and word suddgestion. There is a disable XT9 cab witch will give you the auto complete and word suddgestion back, but cause the non defult keyboards to enter number only, no letters. it that is the case you have to decide witch is more important to you.
Did you install another keyboard? or did it just stop working as it had?
I will agree that the Installation of Customer SIPs like PCMKeyboard or something else will interfere with this..

Correct, but I was just replying to him saying:

because he shouldn't feel stupid, because he did't have to do it previously.
***edit 20/12/08*** As BlockbusterF writes few posts below there is a simpler solution than mine. I checked it myself and is working, so i suggest try his method and not mine. My method has some differences. It opens calendar in month view even if you have it minimized in other view eg day view.
For everyone who wants to use the more difficult method of mine this is it:***
After i have take many things from this site ,it is time to give something back!
I managed to make the calendar to open in month view, and not the default day view. I noticed that many others are trying to do this.
This is how i did it. I write a simple (one line) program in basic for ppc, which runs the calendar to month view. You can download ti here:
http://rapidshare.com/files/175093797/monthvew.exe
Is is only 36 KB. Now put it in any folder you want (even in internal storage)
Try to run it. You will see that calendar will appear but in month view. Even if you have already calendar running in the background on day view, by running monthvew.exe it will go to screen to month view.
So the only problem now is to change the link to manila so when you press the button of calendar on screen, not to run calendar.exe, but to run my program monthview.exe (Which will run calendar.exe again but in month view) So the final result will be by pressing "calendar" on manila to have again runing calendar but in month view this time. You can do this by SSMaPa . If you dont know the program read here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Be sure that you know how to use it, and you dont making anything wrong with this program (You can try to change the button of calendar to run another .exe to see that you have learn to use ssmapa, and after to make it run monthview.exe)
After all perhaps you will see that every time you press calendar ,it opens in day view and immediately changes to month view. If this happens it is because you have it opens by its settings to day view. Go to the calendar-- menu-tools- and from the list there set "open in month view"
Now everything will work ok and the calendar will opens to month view at once ..
Thanks for this...
finally
Thanks for your work!
But I have to say that it's already no problem to start the calendar in month view.
Just remove the "$" under parameters with SSMaPA and select "start in monthview" or something like that under extras -> options in calendar and thats all.

I didnt know this. If you do a search in the forum, you will see that me and many others was searching for this, and noone give a solution .Also in all the Greek forums (I am Greek..) many searching and all writes that there is no solution . If what you write is working, forget my post , as it is simpler .
Very cool ;-)

Wow this is great. It's amazing how small of a quirk can be so annoying.
Can you please tell me where to find these parameters/extras in order to remove the "$".
Can't seem to find this.
Thanks so much!
Ehm... I have done the same by setting it under Menu-Extra- Options- start in month view
Yes, but this only work if you start your calendar out of the startmenu for example.
Wenn you click on calendar in manila it normaly always start in agenda mode.
So you have to use SSMaPa to tweak your manila.exe.

Download SSmapa from the link i give , save it in a folder in your mobile, run it.
In the first page check the box "extended init" and press "init". in the messegebox with a question press "no". Now you will see a list of aplications.
Press the first one "calendar.exe"
You will see a box "Arguments" with the value "$".
Delete the $
check the box "patch anabled and "press save.
Now go to the next page "deploy" and press "deploy patch". Restart manila.
Thanks sosimple for keeping so simple! Took me a little time finding that SSmapa but after that, it was so simple.
THanks sosimple for making this process so simple.
thanks

Hey lads I'm running dutty's rom 3.6b and when you click the calendar tab on the manilla home screen it'll bring you straight to month view or whatever you happen to have chosen in the Calendar options. I believe its a feature of the newer versions of manilla. Before dutty 3.6b I was using a stock ROM and it always used to go to the day view.
Cooked ROMs are lovely.
Now you can do this, even in the original rom, with the trick i write ..
which manila file is ssmapa patching when you delete the $ sign from it? I would like to just overwrite the patched version after hard reset through autoconfig instead of running the program.
is it just me or does contacts not scroll well. it seems like when your selecting a city for weather or a program when you hit all programs it scrolls great. Is there a tweak or hack or just another program that has a more user friendly interfacefor contacts?
I have this, which is very good

If you like you can change the softkey "All Contacts" to run another aplication.
So you can run for example icontacts. For do this you need to use this programm but is abit difficult if you dont know many things
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
Most People change ths softkey "phone" to run "icontact". This can be done easely by many tweaking programs like "advanced configurations" and other programs .
I downloaded that program but contacts is not an option

Really nobody? I've tried everything sad. I just want one to clear caches with a touch of a button without getting a root only app or having to go into applications in the setting menu to access net to do this. Doesn't anyone use this app? What short cuts can you makee work?

I am having exactly the same problem. Nobody seems to care about this app or to make it work, everybody will rather download another app from market that does the same thing this app can do.
The support from the dev is also non-existing. They send you to a page that is the most basic in describing what to do with these fields, useless.
Good luck trying to reach then via email - I have confronted them that I want a refund due to the lack of support on this, but they just ignore me.
What I want is way to create the "sync now" function, but have finally given up on that too.
Either nobody with brains use this app, or those that do, only use it for basic stuff and have no intention to 'create their own' shortcuts.
If you find anything more out or get a solution, please let me know and I'll do the same.

For sync now, I just download a curvefish sync widget and tap it twice, once to disable, then once to enable sync. Starts syncing right away.
This is just some of the stuff Ive found for it.
http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/Intent.html
in the action section of the anycut thing you type this:
android.intent.action.VIEW (This is if you wanna view something)
android.intent.action.EDIT (If you want to edit something)
android.intent.action.INSERT (If you want to insert something)
Thats all i know so far.
I made an that dials voicemail. Pretty cool.
Ok so so far this is what i got.
To make contacts shortcut:
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data: content://contacts/people
Leave type blank.
To Make a Direct Call Shortcut:
Action: android.intent.action.DIAL
Data: content://contacts/people/(Here goes the number defined to the specific contact ex: For me when i put "1" after people/, it sends me straight to my dad's phone number and I can just press the call button and it will start the call)
Leave type blank
To Make a Direct Song Shortcut:
Action: android.intent.action.VIEW
Data: content://media/external/audio/media/(The same thing applies as for the Direct Call shortcut)
leave type blank
Hope this helps alittle.
nice
