PocketCM Noob help - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

i searched a ton of the threads and have found a lot of these questions asked, but not answered. so please if anyone can help me i am clueless with this. i dont like to touch registry stuff unless i absolutely have to, but i am willing to DL other programs like SIPChange to get stuff to work. anyway:
1. i am able to send texts via PocketCM which i think is awesome, but when i get a text, my phone no longer vibrates like it used to be4 PocketCM took over. is there anything i can do to fix this?
2. related to that one, can i make PocketCM my default text app? cuz it still pops up as new text notification and if i hit reply it goes to the WM default one
3. since ive been screwing around trying to solve these myself... i held down the phone icon, bringing up a new set of tabs, and went to the one all the way to the left. that brought up the default contacts page. now when i click on contacts on my screen, it brings that up instead of the incredible PocketCM! this is heartbreaking since i want PocketCM to be my default everything. even if i restart PocketCM it now defaults back to the Windows Contacts page...
any help at all is appreciated, thanks in advance

put this command inside the settings.ini of the skin (.cmt) file.
bring_pcm_to_front_on_sms=0

1. Not sure without looking into it further.
2. On my device I disabled the new text notification. Its now setup that whenever a new text msg comes in it goes to the pocketcm sms screen. The most recent msg's are at the top. Not sure how to change the reply button though.
3. Happened to me.. did a soft reset and it was back to normal again. Give that a try.
Also pocketcm has a forum on their site (www.pocketcm.com). Might wanna try there if you don't get the answers.

3. soft reset worked! thank you.
2. thats a good idea ill do that and if anything it will trick me into thinking that PocketCM is my default
1. soft reset actually fixed this too, but im wary that it might change...
as for shekhar, what issue is that addressing? making PocketCM the default text app?
thanks a lot for your help

Touch Dialer for 6800

Hi, I wanted to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225&highlight=touch , dialer on my 6800, but it doesnt work with the system menus, the stuff liek ##DATA# and the like.
Please tell me how to make it work, or if anyone is kind enough to do so, can you please modify it to work on the Titan. I am new to this stuff, and I dont want to mess with anything that much, this is my first Windows Mobile device, so please if you can help me out. Thanks.
Go here it's fixed to work with CDMA by Paul Hammons
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91652-sprint-native-big-button-dialer-theme-here.html
thanks for posting this mate, but i already tried this one, and i didnt like it, the ## stuff works, but it felt a bit more sluggish, and the blue was freaking me out. lol, i just want one where its the true touch dialer, like the one that was posted here for the wizard. Thanks for the reply though, god i wish i knew how to do this crap, lol.
Oh, I also tried an addon that was posted in taht thread where it made it look like the original touch one, but it too feels sluggish on my mogul for some reason, and when you dial numbers, it brings up that old menu type thing for recent callers, which overlaps teh backspace button, instead of just using the space in teh window.
If you turn off tones in the options menu it'll get rid of the lag.

what do you mean by tones? color tones or sounds?
sound tones.
also, while you are in the options menu, if you turn off smartdialing, you won't get that overlapping box and numbers will show up on the top row. I personally think smartdialing is too valuable, despite any cosmetic flaws.
just wished i can send an sms from the smartdialing window.

PocketCm

I have uninstalled PocketCM from my device and run a search with Resco to get rid off all files. The problem is when I open my phone up (green phone button) and hit the contacts soft key I get a message saying that the POCKETCM.exe can not be found I get this also with the contact button while on a call. THis is weird because from the home screen the contacts takes me to the random access version of contacts. Any thoughts?

I never encountered that problem, but to get rid of that notification queue, or completely wipe that app from your device, you can perhaps use something like pocket mechanic to delete that notifcation. Or you can install a small app called cleantemp to delete all dead shortcuts hope this helps
i think there is the "old" link to PocketCM on the Contact Button..
go with an Registry Editor to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS\" and change the value of "1" back.. i think it was ":MSOUTLOOK Contacts".. but not sure
Thanks that did it! Wierd the "search" did not pick that up.
Thanks, everyone, for the help.

SPB & PocketCM

Is there a way to make SPB use, and bring up the PocketCM functions? For instance, when I get a text, and click the text messages icon under the Clock, i'd like it to go to PocketCM, instead of the Windows client. Same as for contacts.
I've been trying for a long time to make my HTC mogul actually work correctly. It always seems like GUI's (And trust me, I've used almost everthing) fail somehow. SPB seems a little better than most, except for this issue.
It would be REALLY nice if someone had a solution...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398571
...I'm looking for a specific answer.
It's not a noob question, and probably isn't simple.
This is not a noob question but sounds like one to me...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384448
A simple google search reveals the answer.
Hmm. That solves part of the problem, but what about text messages?
God, I've looked everywhere. There has to be some way to change where SPB's text message icon, below the clock, directs too....
Somone please help?
Wow! Relax, take a breather, inhale..................exhale. OK.
So, even with setting PocketCM as the default app for the SMS and contacts, the WM apps still show?
Wooa, where do I set this?
Sorry, I've been searching for answers all friggin' day..
Just press & hold on the far right button, don't use anymore so I forget which it is but it's on the right, the second row will appear, slide to the gears, or whatever graphic looks like settings, each theme will be different. Then you should see it in the settings.
Don't see make it default.
"Bring PocketCM to front" is the closest, and it's checked, and does nothing.
I could've sworn there was a "make default" setting.
Man, My version must suck than, cause i'm stuck without one...
....Still no answer...

Official Rom Update

Hi all
I am kind of new to this, so I hope I have put the thread in the right place. I have searched for some of the answers, but can not find them, or the threads are 100s of pages long and knowing where to look is a nightmare.
I decided to update my phone with the latest official HTC Roms from their website (2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE). Unfortunately there are a few things that I like the old way, and now I am not sure if I can go back to the original Rom that came with the phone.
- I now can not use custom sounds for my message alerts, I have put them with all the others, and made them to be the same file size, mono and all that, and they don't show up. I can use them for ring tones, but not message alerts.
- I used to have the message alert light set to constantly flash until I had read the message, so if I am away from the phone I could tell I have a message. That bit is still there, but it is grayed out so I can't have it.
- When I lock, unlock the phone, go through the menus and go back to the "Today" screen the clock will go from say 10:13, to 09:13, then will roll forward to 10:11 and then the last two minute digits will roll over to 10:12, 10:13 again? Why is this.
- Is there any way of removing the weather from the "Today" screen, it looks very nice, but the phone seems to come to a grinding halt and that added with the time thing mentioned above is also very irritating.
If anyone knows ways around these it would be much appreciated, if not is there a way of returning to the original Rom that the phone came with, I notice the HTC website said it was not possible.
Thanks in advance.

"AvailableOptions"=dword:4000000F
+ SR and then you can change the value

Hi spigot, thanks for the help.
I have installed the cab for the silly rolling animation, and that has sorted that out.
I have installed a program called FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1 to alter the registry values, and have found the "AvailableOptions" one, but don't seem to be able to alter it.

Drop the sounds you want for messages directly into thw windows folder. they will be available.
Thank you codhunter, it worked .
Not sure why they would change it between roms / versions, it used to go in the tones or whatever it was called with my original one.
Also your changing the value in available options to 15 for the message LED notification worked, couldn't work spigots out above.
Thanks
Glad to be of help
i'm just learning too, SQueal. Stick with the new rom. any problems you have will soon get ironed out with the helpful guys on here!!!
SQueal: Try to use TotalCommander with it's plugin registry editor. I did it many times without any problem.
To remove weather from today tab look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656240
how can I enter the registry with totalCommander?
You must download the plugin registry editor, using Total commander's settlings.

You don't need any plugins. Registry editor is part of total commander. If you press "\" button in uppert right corner (in total commander), you'll get to root part and the first folder is called "\\Plugins", there you can find FTP, LAN and registry editor plugins.
Has anyone else noticed how much smaller the sms text message is? You have the ability to change the text size for the ones you read, and the one in with the screen alignment, but the text still seems really small.
Is there a way of doing this in the registry as well?

Viewing messages from Notifications bar...

On my old Touch Pro when you recieved a message whatever program you were using at the time if you clicked at the black bar at the top for notifications then on the view message icon it would display in a little bubble at the bottom of the screen overlayed ontop of the program you were using so you could quickly view the message and then minimize it an contiue what you were doing or click reply and it would enter you into text messaging. Is there anyway to enable this feature for HD2. Because I miss it!
Cheers

have you recently flashed a rom? if so what back up program did you use to backup/restore PIM data? When i flashed my first rom i was using SPB Backup and when restoring PIM data, it would loose the bubble you talk about, I have since used PIM Backup and not had an issue.
Its always been like it, with first ROM, i upgraded to 1.66 and now im on 1.72, by the way big mistake! My phone is now slow as hell and doesnt send texts or recieve whether updates!
I assumed that it was the new stly of notifications menu and hoped there was a way to enable the other style?

About to flash myself. I'll come back here if I get any problems.
Ok let me know ive found its not so bad now 1.72 I am currently on a personal record(this is not a joke this is the longest ive ever been able to run the phone without reseting) of 17hours 23minutes without needing to soft reset however i have had to do funny things to make that possible see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666458
Can anybody tell me if in any ROM version when u get a text in and click in the notifications menu it opens the message in a bubble at the bottom rather than taking u too messages tab??
Thanks
Anyone know how to display message in the pop up bubble from the notifications bar rather than sending you straight to the messages tab (useful for reading the message while in another program)???
Many thanks
Still after a way to get this working really want to be able to quickly read a message while in another prograam like i used to on my toch pro. Help would be appreciated thanks

Very easy: Start, Settings, Menu, More, Sounds and Notifications, Choose New Message from DropdownMenu, Check "Show Message", Done
Greets
If i am in the right place it is greyed out and doesnt let me check the box although for me to get there it is:
start/settings/menu/all settings/sounds & notifications/ then click notifications tab then select New Message from DropdownMenu but the "Display message on screen" is greyed out?
Thanks for the reply
Hmm strange maybe it is ROM-dependant...? Or there are other settings need to be made in order to use this option...? Which ROM are u using? Have you got BSBTweaks installed?
No i dont have bsb tweaks installed i dont like the way you cant reset to defaults, i do have hd2 tweaks installed though.Will bsb tweaks make it work? im running latest voda Rom 1.72.

Actually i dont think that this has to do with BSB. I relly dont have an idea as the checkbox "Show Message" is a standard function of every windows mobile version Anybody else got an idea why the box is greyed out...?
I went searching through the registry and found keys which were in the NOTIFICATIONMGR bit which had a path linking to Messaging_Client which i guess is what directs it to the manilla messaging bit when you get a message. I tried deleting the path and deleting the values in the CMD bit but it still does the same. I restored the key after just incase it affected something else but presumably there is a key somewhere which controls whether or not you can click that check box but i have no idea where i would find it? Anyone know.
