I have tried to use photo contacts pro program and I like it's way of showing big numbers and names on wizards screen. However I do not need photo id, and I feel the program is to memory demanding so I am just wondering is there a program which will simply show big name and number on screen. Default font size is to small for me!

Multilanguage smart dialing For all of you that have smart dialing on their device, you can now add support to more languages then English.
As you know SmartDialing looks for a name in English or a sequence of digits (phone number).
A friend of mine developed an app to enable support for any language in the SmartDial mechanism, there is no need for any 3rd party apps or a unique dialer.
Due to the fact that SmartDial also looks for sequence of digits he developed a program (that run on the outlook installed on your Home PC),
the programs converts unique language fonts to numbers(lets call it "codes").
these codes will be saved in the specific contact's "radio" field and in the "home 2" field (this will allow you to search by first name or by family name).
on the IPAQ 600 you can have use a sticker on the hardware keys that will represent the fonts searched by each digit,
for phones that don’t have hardware keyboard you can crate a dialer skin that will show both english and your language fonts.
another simple solution is to memorize the location of your language's fonts per digit.
The application was built with other in mind, it has an XML file for layout so other non English users can use it and edit the XML to use their fonts.
please read the attached instruction before you start using it
To give you a sense of the app and what it dose I will give an example
if you have a name that looks like this
first name :" ΩΨΨ"
family name "ΡΠβН"
let's say that digit "1" on the dialer=(ΩΡΠ) and that digit "2" on your dialer=(βΨН)
the codes that will be crated for these names will be *122 in radio field of this contact and *1122 in home 2 field of this contact
To separate between codes and real phone numbers the developer added "*" at the beginning of any code. You don't need to add * before any search, the SmartDialing mechanism is smart enough to ignore the "*" and lokk directly for code.
To put things in short,
1. Backup your contacts
2. Download the app
3. Read instruction for installation and then edit the XML file to your fonts
(you will see in the XML file that 3=(אבג) witch also stands for "D" "E" "F" . now, replace the אבג with you own fonts for every single digit)
4. Convert all the names to codes using this app.
5. Sync your device
p.s.
when you search for a name in you dialer, the name will show like this:
"name of your contact" and "code the app created",
tap on the name then tap on the real phone number you want to dial (so you wont dial the code)
The conversion can be done sevral times on the same database, for instance if you add more contacts or change an name.
To use this on any phone(fast or slow) you must have SmartDialing installed and your own language's fonts installed on the "device\windows\fonts" directory.
I hope it helps anyone,
enjoy SmartDialing for english and your own language for free

Hello. Today I have set as 'favourite album' ALL the folders I had in the memory card.
I didn't want one album to be my favourite, I like to have in handy every photo of my mobile. So that's why I've set to 'favourite' ALL albums together. That is more than 100 photos, I think 160 or more.
The problem is that the phone (in the scroll menu Photos&Videos, where all the menu Programs, Weather, Today, Contacts are placed) shows only 99 photos.
It is the biggest number of photo it can display. Can I set a higher number so every photo can be taken from that 'scroll show' ? Some patch, mod, registry key?
It is really weird. My Nokia N73 could of course display all photos in the gallery. Why should I browse a folder to find the requested photo, if there is a very friendly DEDICATED menu to do that? The answer is: because it gives you the possibility to view only 99 photos. If you want the photo n.100, you either go in the folder with the file explorer, or change favourite album to the one you need.
I'm sure there is some solution.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I'm aware 99 is the max you can have, similarly contacts is limited. I don't believe this can be changed, but if I'm proven wrong I'll take it back
Is there any way to make the font size smaller in email?
When I type a message, I'm lucky if I can get 3 or 4 words to a line as the font is huge!
you can change the minimum text size in the settings tab on your device try that.

Its only for received emails...
Go to the settings tab, select Menu, All Settings, System, Screen and the Text Size tab. Changing the text size with the slider there affects input and output for emails.
Edit: Actually, I've just checked and they're the same thing. If that doesn't work, you may have a problem that can't be fixed with regular UI settings.
Surely there must be a registry hack or something for this?
I can't understand why they need the font to be so big.
i heard pinch to zoom works with text. try zooming out

You heard wrong! Afraid it doesn't work
Its really odd - if I reply to a message, the old message below what I'm typing is a normal sized font - but anything I type is JUMBO!
Similar situation in SMS too - the old messages are a decent size, but what I type is huge!
I also think that font in some apps is way too big. For instance in Pocket Outlook, Calendar etc., even in Opera Mobile. I have all settings set to smallest font but it is still too big. Is there a way how to make it smaller - may be some settings in registry? It is useless to have such a big screen but to see the same number of letters as on much smaller screen.
First off, y'all need to CHILL!!
Describe your problem in more detail:
1. Has the font always been *JUMBO* sized (i.e. since you ever first got it) ?
2. Did you use any tool to change your device's font size?
* Note: there are various utilities out there that can be used to change the system font properties to ANYthing you want. Some programs you might've installed change system font properties as part of their operation.... so, backtrack, and if necessary use Total Commander to find "\windows\*.ttf" then delete all files found, then restart your phone; this will restore fonts to their original states.
Cheers
In my case, this simple setting works. Open an email message, go to menu in lower left, view, text size. I use the smallest font size, which is readable and I get 24 lines of text on screen.
Yes, settings as well as multi touch zoom are working for me too but I still would like to have much smaller font. The question is if there is a way how to enable smaller fonts with registry settings or tweak app?
Easy:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox]
"RichEditHostFontSize"="10"
You can shrink the font for replying down to 2 nano meter.
I would like to shrink the font for reading, but the registry doesn't seem to remember the setting after a softreset.
I am trying here: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox] & [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
Maybe anyone has an idea here...
I would like to make the conact's photo bigger in the default htc's sms application...
Maybe someone know the registry keys for setting width and height of the shown photo, or there isn't any and it could not be done that way?
Thanks
Hey guys..are there any tweaks/hacks for file explorer and contacts page which makes programs names and respectively contacts name to be shown fully..not just a part of them?i'm looking for this for long time..
I think, the only way is to turn your screen to landscape.
yep..i know this way but i'm just usual to browse the phone in portrait mode
Maybe, only if you find a way to decrease font size (names must be fit to screen, to see full name), but then you will get two new problems:
1. Vision problem
2. It will be difficult to use your finger to select an item.
hmmm..better a hack or a registry change then
About font size decreasing?
yeah......
It's not easy...
...maybe with this:

doesn't work..it give me an error
What's the error said?
MagnifierSetup.exe
NullreferenceException
la Magnifiersetup.main..ctor()
la MagnifierSetup.Program.Main()
does it work for you?
I don't know why. I don't use it. I prefer auto-rotation.
i use auto-rotation apps too..but all of them rotates manila too..even if i put them in exception list..and if i wanna use manila/sense i need to close this program hmmm
Have you tried ChangeScreen?
yes..using it..but as i told u its messing up manila even if i put it as exception,and its kinda freezing the phone when i go to homescreen
Try a manual-rotation app.
Something like this:

thx but its no fun without g-sensor
still looking if there is a registry hack,cuz i want to be able to see full contacts name in portrait mode,and as for file explorer i'd like to get rid of date and maybe file size because i dont care about them..this way i will see the full app name
For your files you can use Resco Explorer. You have to deactivate "Show Treeview" and you will be able to see in full name more items than file explorer, but not all.
looks great,thx..and MUCH more complex than WM file explorer,thank you very much
as for contacts..i'll try to find a better contacts manager too,,maybe i will see full names too
