A little help with html/email/text - Raspberry Pi Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all, I just started with RPi, and I have set up my garage door using this guide: http://www.driscocity.com/idiots-guide-to-a-raspberry-pi-garage-door-opener/
I can't seem to find a way to have it email, or text me when the door is opened.
Thank you

Homescreen Plugin help

Hi Guys,

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Owner\notes.
can anyone give me a hand to make this work to show that address on the today screen?
Thanks

Disable SMS Text Notification?

I did a search but couldn't find any topics, hope this hasn't been covered before.
Recently I've lost two girlfriends (one after the other) because of texts that should not be on my phone. I'm starting to get slightly annoyed with the repetition. I probably don't deserve help on this...
Obviously I could lock my phone with a code, but this raises suspicion. So what would be great is if I could edit the reg to disable any SMS notification at all (and perhaps rely on the HTC Home to show when I have new SMSs). Is there a reg edit for this?
Alternatively, is there a reg edit to stop the notification from showing who it's from and the first few lines?
Failing both of those are there any other suggestions, other than flight mode, that I could stop untimely texts from being seen by prying eyes?
Karma, my friend, karma....

You need a Bat phone aka 2nd SIM and only give out the number on that one.
Delete all incriminating txts from inbox as well as sent items, my mate got found out from his sent items. He has the bruises to prove it.
Remember, Hell hath no fury like a Woman scorned.

Instead of trying to make seem like you aren't unfaithful/don't care about the girls/flirt etc... Have you considered just stop sending the txts?
If you're getting messages that aren't supposed to be on your phone, call your provider. If you are trying to weasel out of the consequences of something you did ... suck it up.
I wouldn't date you either.

WOW! I didn't realize that your request for a registry edit would turn into a morality session.
Thanks all, really appreciate the replies, i love this place. GSLEON3 thanks for the app, it seems perfect, and am testing now.

It's not the sending that's the problem, it's the replies! I'm not trying to excuse my behaviour, but it's not always that simple. That is to say that jealousy can blind the reader sometimes.
i guess your having problems with the girl actually going through your phone and seeing who sends the txts? if its just the pop up box you get when u get a new msg you can go into sounds and notifications and turn it off. i have been using palm threaded app for a while now and it has a privacy mode, it will give you the pop up box, but wont say what it says or who from. best thing i can advise to you is to just delete your txt msgs, its the easiest and only fail safe way. oh and make sure you delete them out of the deleted folder, hehe.
Thanks Cashin. I know deleting is the easiest and cheapest way, but doing that is actually quite laborious, as you have to remember Inbox, Sent Items & Deteted Items. Also, I don't like to guard my phone 24/7, I like it to sit on the bed side table sometimes without being paranoid about the bright screen powering up with an sms.
I've trialled SecretSMS for an afternoon and it's perfect, so I purchased it. For predefined contacts, the light still powers up when you recieve a text, but no other notification, and a password protected inbox/sent items. Great stuff.

Lurker Looking For Help On Programs And Other Stuff

Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

TF3D Calendar shows not all Items

Hello everyone
im now for almost a week a lucky owner of the htc diamond...
It's working like a charm!
But I have to questions:
-> When I have more than one wholeday calendar-entry (for example a busy note, and a birthday) only one entry (in my case the busy note) is displayed, the birthday I only see when I lauch the calendar application... Is that normal? Where can I change that?
-> Second thing: When I click on the calendar, it starts always the ugly agenda view, also if I changed the default view in the calendar options. Where do I have to set the switch?
I didn't find the answers. If they are already available, I ask you to provide me the correct link on saying sorry.
Thank you, Sven
Please view this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399983&page=6
Thank you..
I tried this already.. It also shows only one wholeday-entry when the clock is small...
Do you have an idea to the second question?
thank you,
sven
In the manual it says that it is only designed to show:
1 all day event
up to 2 timed events
When tapped, it will only bring up the Agenda view of the Calendar, this is by design and so far nobody has found a way of showing more calendar events or getting it to open the built-in calendar on any other view other than Agenda view.
Also, nobody as yet has found a way of making it open a different calendar application eg AgendaOne or Pocket Informant etc.
I believe people are trying to do this, but so far nobody has succeeded. I'm sure that if somebody does, it will happen on this forum and we will all know about it!
Hey marisa
thank you for your answer I'm not a friend of manuals, nor I'm a friend of restrictions...
I now have found a way to start the calendar in day-view (in fact I think it wouldn't be a problem to start any calendar with this way)
Is there a request for smt like this? Should I try to create a helper?

If you've managed to do this then I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who would want to be able to do this. Maybe you should start a new thread with that in the title and put there the explanation of how you did it.

New Diamond, please help

Hey fellow forum users,
I recently (read: last tuesday afternoon) got my Diamond. And I am kind of lost.
First of all, my internet doesn't work. Tuesday begin of the evening it did work. But at the end of the evening and today it hasn't worked at all. @ the dutch vodafone site there are specific things you need to fill in which I did. However it still doesn't work. So I will be giving them a call first thing tomorow.
Second of all, my music. When I plug in my Touch Diamond on the computer, I see this map "content" I click on it and I see "music" so I put an album in there, but there is no music on the phone. Does it have to be converted? because I didnt find a converter on any of the cd's I was given. The same thing with my video. I put a movie on it for testing, but can't find that anywhere on my phone either.
Further I have some requests,
- I am looking for a transparant clock (the white part transparant) so you'll see the wallpaper better.
- I am looking for a way to change the bottom bar.
- I am looking for the best way to use my gps receiver (like a program or something).
- A way to simplify my contacts, I find it very annoying to have all this info. I just want to keep their names with e-mail, mobile phone numer and home number.
- A thing like that weather tab, only then with the time. Don't know if it's out but I find that a really funny feature on the iPods. Perhaps with those huge analog clocks showing the time of 6 countries in the world
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
p.s. I'll be using this topic if allowed for some further questions and am looking forward to any advice given.
p.p.s general advice on what to do with it for easier and better use of the device is very very much welcome.
p.p.p.s I have these programs on my phone aswell, as a .rar file still though if that matters (he said not), someone adviced me to put them on:
- Mortonscript
- Diamond TF3D Config Setup
- Automatic Wallpaper changer (no use for this yet but I really liked the background he was talking about that changed to the time it was, so like a sun during the day and a moon during the night).
I am completly lost at the moment. Gonna study the books that were packed with it I guess. Any help is appreciated.
1000 times thanks for anyone who can help.
(and hope this is allowed)
anyone that can help?

Hi Dennis,
I'll try to help where I can. The internet issue you will probably have to sort out with your provider. If it was working and now it isn't it the only thing I can think of is you made some change to the network config. They should be able to get it working again.
As for Music I found the best way to transfer music to the Diamond is through active sync. Plug your phone in to your PC, when prompted on the phone select active sync, then on the PC open up Windows Media player and select sync. Then just drag and drop the music you want on your phone to the sync panel and then click sync. All the music you selected will be transferred to your phone and the album art and everything if it is available will be displayed on the phone.
For the transaprent flip clock and lots more tf3d mods, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436867
For the bottom bar you have to be more specific, do you want to change the softkeys??
I find the best GPS software is either google maps or microsoft live search, both are free, google them!
For contacts there are many solutions out there, you will have to look on your own, sorry!
I've seen world clock application but most of them are home plugins, again you will have to look around on your own..
As for the rest, you will have to spend some time reading and searching. I don't advise reading the book that came with it as it contains very little useful info.
hit me back if you have anymore questions!!! oh and welcome to the community!!!
With changing the bottombar I mean putting like perhaps the gps on the spot of the photo / video etc.
Thanks btw
Sorry Dennis, as far as i know there is currently no method for changing the tf3d tabs. You can add some but really they already exist just not displayed. You can try SSmapa to replace some of the default functions.
