PocketCM Noob help

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

PocketCM contacts 2.0

Is out (since 2/17) and works flawless at 96 DPI.
Fast, smooth, BIG contacts, nice skins
What's new:
- Category edit in contact
- Backspace button on phonepads
- New theme option in order to allow clean bubble
- Preloading of some image to allow smoother use
- Added menu to all panel, you can now choose the SIP while editing note or contact
- Performance enhancement
- Greatly enhanced performance in some scenarios
- SMS counter is back
- Bug fixes
http://pocketcm.com/contact.php
EDITED
May be it is well known, but if you push PHONE button for more than 250 msec a menu' will appear. Releasing the button PocketCM minimize itself, moving the finger to the other button's area you can choose the options menu'

Have you successfully installed pocketCM 0.2 on your athena?
I've tried several times but I never succeed in. The installation process doesn't cause any problem but the program graphic is completely a mess. I' have tired to change the theme with a VGA-compliant one but it doesn't work well anyway. Can you explain me how have you exactely installed it? I feel kind of idiot, but i badly need a decent contact manager (and the default one, in my opinion, it is not decent at all).

HI.
I just installed PCM Contacts in my Athena. It is necessary to install in the same
directory the vga-test.zip file that can be found in the Theme section of their forum.
This version wants directly the .zip files instead of the old .ctm (?) ones.
Hope this helps.

I'm also a user of PocketCM. It just looks perfect on my Athena running with 128dpi.
It ist Important to use a vga skin (.zip file in the Versions newer than 0.15) !!
They also offer a very usable SIP (PocketCM Keyboard) that i use as a default.
Everything is freeware ans runs without any problems on my Athena.
On good thin is that PocketCM and PocketCM Keyboard can easily be set to other languages (German in my case) just by using an other skin.

Thanks to everybody. I've installed the program and the VGA them but still there are some issues. In addition of being a little slow, when I tap on the phone button the keyboard doesn't show up correctly. Can you send me the theme that works on your device?

i've got pocketcm0.20 and i basically use it for its threaded sms function...is there a way to map the hardware message button to go directly to pocketcm's sms function page instead of the WM sms page...or when i get a new message and click read or something to go directly to pocketcm's sms service?

here you have a VGA theme perferctly working with the athena. Thanks to Gidello, great job http://pocketcm.com/phorum/read.php?22,8595

HTC Home: 'home' tab hacking?

If you recall on the 'home' tab there are the 3 notification areas that show unread email, unread SMS/MMS, and missed calls...I was wondering if there was a way to change which application opened up with you clicked on those icons? Note, that I am NOT talking about the icons from the 'launcher' tab.

if i had to guess it would be somewhere in the htchome.dll in the windows folder. it's hard-coded somewhere most likely..
this has been asked a lot of times but no one seems to know how, unfortunately

i just find the irony funny, your name being h4xor yet you requesting hacking help haha.
i too was wondering of this simliar problem. it would help that when i click on sms itll open my other sms program instead of the built in one.

lol. (10 letters completor)

Meh...there's a difference between a 'cracker' and a 'hacker'
(there's also an inside joke behind it, of which you have the priviledge of being on the outside )
But still, it's unfortunate that it cannot be changed in a simple manner...has anyone tried renaming the executables that it launches?

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.
