i found some registry mods in wiki to get the BA to display first name last name in contacts but it says that you need to have cproghook installed.what is that and where can i get it?i tried a search in the forums but cant seem to shed any light on my query.is there someone who could lead me to the right direction?[/i]
I too would like this information and the thread starter is one up on me since I did not know there was a Wiki for this subject.
BTW - I am on MW5 if that matters [knowing my luck it will].
anyone?
cproghook has something to do with the phone application, in the Thread "a new button to quick dial" Mamaich gave us a little app that gives you a contacts button in the empty button in the dialer interface. You best look in that thread for some info on cproghook, since that has to do with some first/last name as well, but only in that little app! perhaps you have used it in the past and deleted it and the registry is still pointing to that program? For changing the order of contacts in the default contacts program, have a look around at this forum, I posted the link to 4 cab files somewhere that gave you the ability to choose how to display contacts. just search for "first name", "last name", "company name".
First, I am new here and I really appreciate the work that has been done to get the this wealth of information online.
I really try to search and search for information before I ask because I know that asking a redundant question can get me soaked in gasoline and set on fire.
There must be some special skill or knowledge of searching that I do not have...and want to have.
Case in point: I want to know how to tell if my GPS in turned on and if so, how to manually turn it off. I tried searching for "turn GPS off"=no results, "Gps off"=no results. Then I searched for simply "GPS"=no results. Now I know that there are hundreds of posts here with the term GPS in them, Why does the search not find them??
A little frustrated here...
Any help on how to effectively use the search on this site would be greatly appreciated....Thank you!
I don't think there's any (easy) way to tell - GPStest or the HTC GPS Tool may help - but.....
Your GPS is only on if you're running a program that actively makes use of it - e.g. Tomtom, iGO, CoPilot etc....they will activate GPS when you start them and disable it when you close them.
EDIT: The search works just fine - in the "topmost brown coloured menu", it says "Search" - I just entered "GPS" in the box and hit search and got pages of hits......sure you didn't click "Search this thread" ???
HTH,
Mark.

Thanks for the Gps info but my REAL question was about how to use the search tool.
I used "Search this FORUM" to search the "Kaiser>Kaiser grneral" forum only. Using the "Search" button above does a Google search in the entire xda-developers forum yielding hundreds of results on ALL devices, not just Kaiser.
Still need to know how to search the Kaiser-general forum only and get results.
I always go to google.com and type something along this lines " xda kaiser gps" ( or whatever youre looking for ) Seems to work most times for me

Right at the top when you click on the Search button under the box where you type your search string it says "or use the built in forum search"click on that and it;ll give you options to search in specific forums of your choice
I went to the Kaiser>kaiser-General forum, selected Search from the top brown strip, clicked "use the built-in forum search", entered GPS, selected search entire post, from the "search in forum(s)" box i select Kaiser>Kaiser general, click search and I get "Sorry no matches". Try it for yourself and tell me what I am doing wrong.

You're not doing anything wrong. I just tried searching 'this forum' for "GPS" and also got no results. Then I tried a few other common 3-letter acronyms, e.g. "HTC", "CAB" and "DOS", all of which clearly appear in the titles of recent posts. In all cases no results were returned.
So it looks like a deficiency in the search functionality of the forum software. I then googled this and found that it's a common complaint.
The recommended solution is to add a wildcard character to the search string - e.g. "GPS*".
The built-in site search is terrible, and the site admins know it. That is why they added the ability to search XDA using the Google search engine.
Searching for "GPS" with the forum search will produce no results because the vBulletin search ignores words shorter than 4 characters. If you want to narrow down your results using Google, use add "Kaiser" to all of your searches.
Thanks, that is the exact information that I need to know.
Hi ho, Hi ho, it's off to search I go............
I have tried a search but (I think) because it requires too many search terms I have been unable to dig up what I want. As per the thread title I want to replace the phone shortcut on the bottom left of the touchscreen with a contacts shortcut as I have seen on a screenshot of a cooked rom. Is this available somewhere as a cab or hiding somewhere in advanced config...? TIA
Look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Got it thianks. Did you know where to look or search? Be curious to know what search terms you used if you searched.
Edit... Found it in advanced config. Had looked under tf3d, display etc but no joy. I had previously noticed the keymapping option but didnt realize that it included the soft keys. Lesson learned.
Hey everybody,
i found the following reg-entry and change the value from 1 to 0.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Facebook.Disable
Now i have in the Contact-Form of TouchFlow at the bottom a Facebook Register. And a new Facebook-Option is available if you want to get a user-picture (You can get it from Facebook).
Does anyone know more about this reg-key? Because nothing happens if you choose these new features.
Hi!
Already discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510352&highlight=facebook You could examine the contents of the posted cab files if you would like to find out what it does, more than just changing the reg key you are referring to.
Please use the search features of this forum

stlyez,
i am kind of new to this forum & have the same question, but i can not understand your response. "moved as not ROM development"..??? is this phrase missing a few words or something? does this mean the mesasge was moved to another area or deleted because it is not pertaining to ROM development & if so then where can i find the answer to making Opera my default browser?
btw i did invoke a search using the terms "Default browser" & "opera"... this message thread is one of the few that came up with BOTH search terms in it.
Thanks all.
