Few newbie issues

Im sure there is a very simple way to fix these issues im having, but I havent found the application to do so yet, so im in need of some help.
I just performed a hard-reset on my t-mobile mda to the new rom update. Since then my contact list is showing my sim contacts, and the contacts in the actual phone (which is a copy of the sim contacts); and i'd like for the list to show only the phones contacts. Also any theme I download doesnt seem to work. i usually get them from littlethemes.com and they are .tsk files. I had a few working before the update. I had a similar program to tweaks2k2; basically a compilation of different registry tweaks, except it was a free version. if anyone can help me to find the app. and/or fixing any of these issue's i would def. appreciate it.
Thank you in advance

In order to hide the sim contacts get yourself a decent file explorer such as total commander (http://www.ghisler.com/ce.htm) and make the following changes. . . .
\\ > Registry > HKCU > ControlPanel > Phone
Add the following value to it:
Key: ShowSim (dWord)
Value: 0 (decimal)
I am not sure what the problem is with your today themes. Try placing the themes in the root directory of your storage card or windows\my documents. Browse to start>settings>personal>today and see if your files are populating the list under 'appearance'

Are you sure that it's not from an application that you might have installed?

VERY SURE
clean install

they come from the sim card. I think (but not sure) that every phone courier has it burned into their sim card.
you can hide sim card contacts using the AdvancedConfig tool from Schaps, do a search to find it on the forum.

solution
I had the same...
Just install a config-app like schapps advanced config on your phone and uncheck "show sim contacts"....

Saving contacts to sim?

Ok so I get a call from an unknown number, figure out who it is so want to save the number to my simcard so when I install a new ROM I don't loose it.
So I go to the number
Menu > Save as new contact > Type the whole name in the first name field > Save
This has saved the contact to my phone because they don't appear in the sim manager.
When I go "Copy to sim" its all greyed out.
How do I copy numbers to my sim card or set the to be stored on the sim card by default?

Start --> Programs --> SIM Manager --> Menu --> Contacts to SIM --> check the contacts you want to save --> save.

Not sure this does everything you want, but try this reg entry:
Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone with your favorite Registry editor, then change / add a value of ShowSim with a value of 0.
or, in other words:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSim"=dword:0
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
change the value to 1, to unhide the sim contacts
