HTC Random Access

Hello,
Htc random access is addon for contact see the pics.
Can somebody help me with it working with wizard, i cannot make it work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339507 check this link for download and more info.

looks like nobody is interested in this application???

What does it do? Allow you to quickly go to the proper letter by sliding down the side?
I use pocketcm for my contacts. It allows you to scroll with your finger and has this option built in.

But it takes 1 mb of program memory and and the HTC contact application just merely takes 20kb.

this is wat i did
just put the 3 images in your windows directory and the exe called RadomAccess, then use a reg editor to put this in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3]
@=Contacts
Open="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"
hope it works

It doesn't work that way. What device are you using?

huhh!!
I am using the htc p3600....

I have htcaccess it on my new schaps 4 RC.. .. but i dont get it to work..
how does it work exactly...
greets
voxid

Under Options in Contacts, you have to remove the tick on "Show Alfabetic List".
That did the trick for me anyway.... Hope it helps!

thats it.. thnx
greets

Is there somebody still working to port it on wizard???

Tested it on my mogul... It adds the functionality to use shortcuts to get to letters from the shortcut letters on the side but you've got to have a touch style scroller to actually be able to scroll down the list since you'll be missing the scroll bar.
It also apparently didn't remove completely when I uninstalled it.
*Edit: It is also not useful for non-latin alphabet contacts.

updated cab
I found a cab on the elf forum but it had some flaws
first of all there was a space between M and SCONTACTS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK RandomAccess"
"0"="RandomAccess"
I corrected this and changed the values in the following manner
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"1"="RandomAccess.exe"
"0"="RandomAccess"
loads a lot quicker on my trinity now
at last added the following key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AddrBook]
"Flags"=dword:01004000
this after the suggestion by muyan

[EDIT: when i wrote this post there wasn't any space between M and SCONTACTS, but when i reviewed it there is one can this have something to with the colon in front of the M? probably why this error got into the cab in the first place (cut and paste) . Well, it's not there in the cab anymore]

Where is the file for the " Touch Settings " ? You should start by attaching the settings file since this will be the main thread for Touch Settings

i posted detailed instructions as to how to get the "Touch Settings" program to work correctly on the Sprint Touch a few days ago. I'll re-post it over in the Vogue forum shortly

Please don't re-post this information, as I have now built a new version of the program that should work on the Sprint Touch without any special instructions required. It's been tested by Sprint users and seems to be working well so far.
You can download the beta (v1.29d) from www.fatattitude.com/software
For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556
Best,
Carlos

Works great on HTC Touch! WooHoo!
Very Nice job. Very Nice, indeed.
Personally, I wanted the photo to launch the HTC Camera Album.lnk the way you can scroll with your finger & zoom, etc.
So, I created the Photos button in MediaHub to be:
\WindowsHTCAlbum.exe
Params: -mode:camera -type:image

when i try and install the settings app i get a error messsage about
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or settings cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions"
how do i chang it so i can install and run this.. thanks

If you look at the post at the top of this page by Carlos, you'll see he says, "For installation instructions please see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556."
He also gives these suggestions:
- If you're installing to Storage Card, try installing to the Device instead.
- If you still get the error, try resetting your device and installing again - this honestly worked for me!
- Check there is enough free storage space on your device.
- Try a manual installation (zip file coming to first post shortly)
There are many posts about this in other threads, so you should be able to find the info you need.

Carlos,
Any reason to upgrade to 1.29e if d is working well?
Secondly, if we do upgrade - do you have to uninstall first? or can you overwrite the program?
I don't seem to be able to see a changes history. I'll keep looking.

carlos said there is a new touch settings version comming out soon where it will help implement animations and custom icons will show when the cube turns. WOOT. and we wont have to install the updated Exe, it will be updated for us.,.]
THANKS CARLOS!

I have spent a good deal of time getting my Sprint Touch to display my local weather by using N2A's "patched" HtcHome.dll which points at a server that does support my local weather (unlike the Htc's accuweather server). Now I would like to use 'Touch Settings' to easily customize what apps get launched from my 3x2 app launcher and the media hub buttons, but I'm not sure if I dare do this yet since I haven't seen anyone explain how 'Touch Settings' accomplishes displaying local weather.
Can anyone tell me how it does this? My concern is that it may conflict with the patched home plugin I already have working.

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Touch Settings updates the registry keys at \HKLM\Software\HTC\HomePlug\Weather\Settings
I don't think this should change your server settings etc, and it certainly won't change which .dll file your weather is pulled from.
Why not do a registry backup of that key, try out Touch Settings and if there are any problems, just restore your registry? I think you'll be OK with it.

Hi all
I have a new beta of Touch Settings v2.0 that I'd really like a couple of people to test for me, in particular people with Vogues and Touch Duals, especially pp18 and that other kind person who volunteered.
I have posted it in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&page=20
....if you could keep feedback in that thread for now please? Feels like we have too many threads going at once otherwise and gets confusing!
Thanks,

Works great...thanks Carlos!
One thing I noticed would be interested in finding out if other Sprint Touch users are seeing: after updating my "On Demand" app launcher's button to open a different app in the mediahub, the "Demand" in the text "On Demand" is now half cut-off. I assume this text (which I would like to change anyway) is stored in the registry somewhere and is not editable via Touch Settings yet. I can spend some time researching which settings to manually change in the registry, but if you are going to add this feature soon to the app, then I won't spend the time.
Thanks again, regardless...

Hi SprintTouchGuy
Glad it's working for you! If you run Touch Settings, you should be able to click in the grey box where it says "On Demand" and change the text to anything you like... ...let me know if it doesn't work for any reason.

Thanks Carlos...I can't believe I didn't think to at least try tapping in there! (Oh me of little faith...)
Next minor issue:
I made my bottom mediahub button say "Voice Recorder", and the word "Recorder" wrapped to a second line which is half-way cut off. I see that text wraps on the middle button as well, and although it doesn't get cut off it does look off-center vertically. I don't know if there is any way to adjust the text vertically with the magic that you do, so for now I'll try to come up with one word labels for the buttons to avoid the issue.
I also am curous what parameter to use to get the HtcAlbum.exe to launch the Camera Album to display just videos, like the 2nd-row 3rd button in does in the 9 button app launcher that comes on the 3rd tab of the HTC Home plugin. Does anybody know what I need to supply? I believe there is a mode: option, but when trying "mode:video" it still only comes up displaying pictures, and it does so in portrait view, not in landscape view like it does from the app launcher (which I prefer). My apologies if this has been discussed already...thanks!

Carlos - this is kind of a QA issue with the interface. Can I make the suggestion that you change the color of that box from gray to something like yellow? The first few times I opened the app I thought it was the typical "grayed out" box -- meaning I couldn't edit it. Whereas when I see a yellow box it grabs my attention and suggests I should be doing something with it...

Favorite People tab not showing on xplode HTC Home 2.1 Build1005.722

Hi all my friends,
I have got a problem..
Installing xplode-HTCHome.v2_1_1005722_s0-all_device.cab , on the today screen I get no "Favorite People" tab.
I hard resetted and reinstalled the cab but no luck... As far as I remember an older version I was using time ago showed the tab correctly...
Is this a known problem with this version? I used this because it seems to be the latest available..
Is there a workaround or a solution for this "little" problem?
Thank you all so much in advice,
Eth

Make sure your "Favorite people" tab is enabled
Start-->Settings-->Today-->HTC Home (bottom tabs)
There should be a checkmark on the favorite people tab.
PoGa

Yes mate, It is checked. That's the strange thing...
Thank you,
Eth

Are you using WM6 with the cube? The favorite people tab will not show up on Home if the cube is also used.

Yes WM6 with FTouchFlo (also if I deactivate it, people won't show up).
Any workaround?
Thank you,
Eth

I had the same problem, and I had the cube installed. As soon as I uninstalled the cube, the favourites came back (after a reboot I think).
Hope this is of some use.

Do a search their is a mask Registry setting that you must delete for this. I am running the cube and home with all options active and working.

i uninstalled HTC cube and the favorites still do not show up. even uninstalled and reinstalled HTC home and same thing. everything shows up except for the favorites.

I've the same problem...
I'm not able to set any favorite people on the HHC tab....
Also if I hit "+" nothing happens....
So the problem is releated to the Cube??
And if I kill the Cube... Do you think that I'll solve the problem??

Yeah, the cube removes the favorite tab from htc home. It's not a problem though. Simple solution - DELETE THE FOLLOWING REGISTRY KEY;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial

Damn.....
That registry key doesn't exist.....
I think that I deleted it sometimes ago.....
Could you copy yours and send it to me?
I wanna try if with that registry key, the favorite people tab would work...
Thank you...
EDIT:
I HAVE JUST FOUND IT!
It is in HLM/Software/OEM. Not in /MASD
There I've found a key called Quickdial...
It's the same you were talking about or not??
RE-EDIT:
Ok, now I've understood that in the past I moved that key to another folder...
In fact now, after I've moved that key to /MASD, I'm not able to see the favorite people tab.....
But my problem is an other....
When I can see the favorite people tab, I can't it any "+"....
So I can't chose any favorite person....
I CAN SEE THE FAVORITE PEOPLE TAB, BUT I CAN'T HIT ANY OF THE "+" BUTTONS...
If I try to it one of them... Nothing happens...
I don't know if this is important, but I have installed PocketCM, and this program runs instead of the standard contacts one...
How can I solve that??

Noone?.....

[Upd 8/06] iContact 1.03 ender's edition: Menu animation, autohide, Smart dial number

Hi All,
Here is the latest iContact ender's edition. As much as I would like to keep my own branch of the source code I would hate to rewrite the same functionality written by burt or subpro. That is why right now I am just implementing my changes to the latest version of iContact with most functionality.
Known issues
- Included VGA skin is just the resize of QVGA. It has some problems with small dial icons. I am hoping someone can post a VGA skin so I can include in the next version.
- Scroll sometimes slow down while hiding the bottom menubar.
- You might need to tap twice to open a contact.
Requests
- Can someone post screenshots plz.
- Current mobile, home, office icons are from original WM. They look ok but I'm sure one of you gfx talents can come up with smtg much better.
Version History
1.03
Feature : It is now based on Burt 6 codebase (Thanks to Burt). This brings all his features. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402724 for his updates. Also please thank him for what he has done.
Feature : Displayed default number is now smarter. iContact will scan your outgoing call log the first chance it gets and use the most used number as default displayed number.
Feature : There is now a menu button animation while switching tabs. (See the configuration application for disabling/adjusting this)
Feature : Bottom menu now automatically hides while scrolling. (See the configuration application for disabling/adjusting this)
Feature : Call button (green soft button) will now call the selected contact
Modified : It comes with a default (and only) diamond skin which is based on Lycox's work. (Sorry Punker I was going to use your skin but since I switchted to burt's code skin format has changed as well )
Modified : Call times show next to the icon instead of on top of the icon
Fix : When you go back from the details page, that contact will be highlighted
Fix : Fixed a bug where having only one call log item would crash
1.02
Feature : It is now based on the 0.76 codebase of subpro. This brings many features like VGA support and all that. See
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395829 for his updates. Also please thank/donate him if you like his work.
Feature : Number of repeated calls (incoming/outgoing/missed) is now shown as part of the icon as a small number in a circle (Sorry I broke the skins again fellas)
Feature : A default phone number will now show under the name (You can disable this using the setting DisableDialingNumber in settings.ini) (You can set the font of this number using "DialingNoListFont" and color using "ListItemNumberText" setting in the skn file.)
Feature : An icon showing the type of number will show next to the default number (You can disable this using the setting DisableDialingNumberIcon)(These icons are again part of the skin)
Feature : When you long press a contact for a period of time (setting LongTapDelay) , it will automatically dial the default number for that contact. (Disable using DisableLongTapAction)
Feature : There is a visual indicator for long pressing to show when the dial will occur and which contact will be dialed.
Feature : There is now a minimize button on the top right. Again this is in the skin file. If you don't like it just remove it from the skin.
Feature : There is now a new setting in the skin file "HeaderTextDetail" for those who want to have a different colored header on the details screen.
Fix : Fixed a bug where contact pictures didn't show even when stopped
Fix : Fixed an issue with drawing pictures that slowed down the drawing. However there is still some screen tearing going on due to new icons and stuff.
Fix : It now works with WM5
Note : There are 2 different cabs for wm5 an wm6. wm5 version also works on wm6 but i think it performs slower.
1.01
Feature : Contact Pictures will now display below a certain scroll velocity. So now you can have best of both worlds: Fast scroll speed and contact pictures. Velocity treshold can be set in the ini file with "PictureVelocityTreshold"
Feature : Width of the hidden scroll bar that is used to navigate between letters are now configurable in the SKIN file. Keyword "InvisibleScrollbarWidth"
Modified : I changed the versioning scheme so there is no confusion between diffferent iContact flavors
Modified : Back button and '+' button click areas are now bigger.
Fix : Fixed a memory leak which eventually crashed the application
Fix : Fixed an issue where black colors on contact pictures would show as background color
Fix : Fixed a bug where scrolling would sometimes jump to the end of contact list
0.76f
Feature: There are now 2 configuration settings (DisableContactPictures and DisableHistoryIcons). Add a line saying "DisableContactPictures=1" (without quotes) to the end of the settings.ini if you dont want to see pictures.
Modified: Hidden scroll bar for scrolling between letters is now wider
Fix : Fixed the problem with the skin so + sign should now be visible
0.76e
Feature : Contact Pictures on Contacts and Favorites List
Feature : Call History now shows icons next to items to indicate if it is a missed, incoming or outgoing call
Feature : Contacts and Favorites will now only load when the application starts and whenever there is a change in contact list (internal or external) (Instead of loading everytime you switch a tab)
Feature : Call log will now only load when the application starts and whenever there is a change in the call log
Feature : While loading contacts or call log it will now show an hourglass to show that it is doing something.
Feature : iContact now comes with a default diamond skin (Thx to lyrox)
Modified : Enlarged the area that can be clicked on top right. Closing / Minimizing the application should now be much easier.
Modified : Taping once during scrolling will now just stop the scrolling, you need to tap again to access contacts.
Modified : Since there are now icons, I removed missed called highlight
Modified : '+' sign that is used to add new contacts is now on the left to prevent accidental clicking to close
Fix : Fixed a bug where clicking Recents would sometimes crash the application

Sounds GREAT!! Any screen-shots??

tnx man very nice app!!
you modifite like i want to!!!
sorry for my bad english!!

works on vga but all seems so little!
is there any vga skin?

Thanks,
working nice, but I don't see any plus icon on the upper left side?

Works great!!
I dont see how to add new contact though.......also, is it possible to have the 4th icon dial voicemail instead of going to your phone??

great work on icontact, i may try the new version as im more concerned about performance but hopefully its worth the upgrade
edit: where is the performance version?

I would like a light colored skin. Top bar same as S2*** stuff but with a white back ground maybe a little iphonish but not to much. Does anybody know where I can find one?
Thanks.

the changes are wonderful....the stopping by clicking and the log icons..... but there are 2 problems in my eyes:
1. I think the photos in the list are pointless - they are not REALLY needed. the whole point of icontact was to keep it fast and to take less memory. it changes the loading time and makes the program heavier.
2. The scrolling is much much slower and unstable than in 0.75
thanks for the hard work.

awesome job! thanks

This is so freakin phenomenal!!
Maybe 3 suggestions, but only from the stand point of desire not lack of talent!!! Could you add it sort by Category? And could you place a button on the Recent page that launches the sms application of choice like the phone button launches cprog.exe???? Finally, I would like to know how to change the width of the hidden alphabet selector on the right side. I need a little more pixel width for my thumbs.
Thanks again

sounds great, trying it now
many thanks!!!

Hey nir, I agree the scrolling has slowed up over .75.. However personally I like the photos. Even with them it is way less memory the PocketCM and provides a little eye candy!!

For some reason the + sign doesnt show up. I will fix this in the next version (which will be very soon). In the meantime just imagine the + sign is there on the top left of contact list screen title bar and press. It is working just the graphics is not there.
As for the 4th icon i will consider something more useful or configurable for a future version.

Sorting by category is not very easy. iContact has no category support yet when/if this is added I will consider.
I am not sure where on recent pages i can put sms application link.
When you say alphabet selector do you mean the button that opens up the alphabet or the buttons on the alphabet screen. Alphabet screen is already full I dont think you can put any more than that. As for the launching button, it is configurable.

icontact does have category support. I have a version that does it. I like yours better however. On the recent calls page there is an open spot to the far right on the tab bar. The alphabet search page itself is fine, I was speaking of the hidded bar on the right side that you can press and hold to bring up the letters and then scroll to jump to the one you want.

just wanted to say great app! thanks, and waiting for ur next innovation

I see what you mean. I havent decided what to do with that space. There are several things that might go there such as settings button or categories list. I think that space is too valuable to put an sms button I almost never just open an sms link. Instead I find the contact I want to send SMS and then click the sms button on the details page.

[REQ] People Tab Alternative

Hi all
I tried to search, but i didnt find anything.
I dont like the "people" tab, where i have to scroll trough my favorite contacts. I would prefere, i could directly access to the favorites contact, without scrolling (like the programm tab or like the action screen).
But i still want to keep TF3D...
Do anyone has an idea or knows how to solve this issue?
Thx mates,
gt

i dont know how to solve this but this is what i did
i installed icontact and i have it maped on the right softkey at the home tab.
it opens very fast, looks nice and is very finger friendly. There is a favorites tab as well but it does take 2clicks (1open icontact, 2 click on favorites) so not exactly direct
hope this helps

Thx Giannis86
Sounds good for me. Still much better as the actual solution.
I will give it a try...

actually i do have an idea now..
i just spent some time modding the actionscreen skin. I think it would be possible to fix the shortcuts to a contact (i need to do some research on how to do this ofc)
so, IF this is possible, you could have 9 contacts showing at the same time (i suppose more is possible if you made the icons smaller but its a lengthy process)

there is a program i used some time ago while making a theme for battery status that enabled me to dial from shortcuts.
usage:
dial.exe xxxxxxxxxxx
but it would require some aditional tool to configure, or some text editing.

Hi all
I tried to search, but i didnt find anything.
I dont like the "people" tab, where i have to scroll trough my favorite contacts. I would prefere, i could directly access to the favorites contact, without scrolling (like the programm tab or like the action screen).
But i still want to keep TF3D...
Do anyone has an idea or knows how to solve this issue?
Thx mates,

I would also prefer something like this. Instead of People just have a tab called "Contacts" and you can scroll up and down with the TF3d movability instead of going into the actual contacts program which is so slow.

What about to port people tab from m2d?

Any solution for this request?!

I've found the easiest solve to this is to use iContacts Burt Edition 6.4.5 and map it to the right or left softkey on the homescreen. Then get TF3D config and remove the People tab fom manilla. You can set favorites with photos in icontactBE and you can configure it to open directly to the favorites list first with the iContact Config. tool.

At the moment am using Resco Contact Manager. I think it's really not bad, but there are many thing included, it isnt just a replacement for the people tab.
