Speed Dial Link - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I hope someone can help me out.
I thought on my Touch that there was a Speed Dial.lnk on my start menu to access the speed dial list. BUT, for the life of me I can't find it and I have searched and searched on line without any luck. The only way I can access my Speed Dial list to add or edit is via the phone dialer menu or the OEM Contacts menu.
Can someone post the link file or the code in it so I can create the shortcut, I would tremendously appreciate it.
Thanks in advance.
Edit: Someone over at PPCGeeks steered me towards VJPhoneTools and it worked liked a charm.

Speed dial from Today screen?

Hello!
Does anybody know a way to add speed dial shortcuts on the today screen?
Earlier I had a SonyEricsson P910i with a handy software that let me put shortcuts on the screen for dialing and sms'ing to specified contacts.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus to add other shortcuts in the today screen and I saw in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26468 that "vijay555" seems to have found a way to create shortcuts for dialing that he puts on today screen with cLaunch!
Any ideas?

cyberetti -
Why didn't you just ask me for the program!?
I'll try to upload it later today.
I used to use Tracker (I assume that's what you refer to?) and missed the functionality, and really dislike the call prog on the PocketPC. So I made my own shortcut prog. There's probably another VERY simple way to do it, but with mine, you just pass it a command line and it'll dial for you.
Have you seen Wisbar desktop advance? It's moving towards Tracker type functionality.
Will keep you posted.

I suppose I could have asked you directly vijay555, don't know why I didn't actually but anyway thanks man!
On my P 910i I used a prog called "Handy Day" wich added a WM lookalike todayscreen to it, as I said it had that dialing function implemented.
Ill have a look at Wisbar desktop Advance...

Guys, I've posted programs to quick dial and SMS from shortcuts
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=26972
Tell me how it goes!

Thanks man!
That is absolutely brilliant!
I really enjoy those little tweaks that improve the functionality of the Magician, this is without any doubt one of them!

Speed Dial Plugin / testtodayplugin.cab

Hello,
I have installed the speed dial "testtodayplugin.cab" like the speed dial on the treo 700. It shows picture thumbnails which are speed dials.
Within the setting when you go to the today plugin, then hit options it says
"PRESS OPTION + SCROLL TO MOVE A BUTTON"
I have a imate kjam / Wizard... I dont know where my option button is or the scroll to re-arrange pictures...
Can anyone guide me to where the option and scrolls buttons are on the unit...
Thanks in Advance,
Scott
Edit/Delete Message
There's an issue with the full functionality of the program since it's actual residence IS the 700w. I think, from experience and from these forums, that this is just one of the issues. May I suggest just deleting the buttons and creating them as you want them to appear on the screen?
I know I can do that, but it tends to get a bit annoying.
Do you know forsure that this is a flaw?
Thanks,
Scott

Speeddial and Call History Icons on Today Screen

Okay, I've been reluctant to post this, but I've search the forums and I've search Google, etc, etc. and can't find the answer... What I want to do is add two icons on my Today screen that go to my Call History and my Speed Dial. I'm using iLaunch and can pretty much create an icon to anything, but for the life of me I can't figure out the link/path to Call History or Speed Dial. I'm pretty sure it possible bacuse it's right there as a button on my dialpad. Can anyone tell me the link or how to create a link to those two applets?
Thanks!
Oh, I have a 8525 running Black 2.0

Download the attached file, unZIP it, copy CallHistory.exe to your phone, and you will have CallHistory. I dont know the solution for Speed Dial. sorry.
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Now if I could only find the Speed Dial app....

can you guys please post a Screen Image?
I just want to see if it's what I'm looking for
I currently don't have a screen-print app on my device to get you the actual image of my Today screen, but this image is similar to the look of mine with the larger icons pointing to various applications/shortcuts. The Call History and Speed Dial screens are the same as you get to by going to the Dailpad and clicking on the History and Speed Dial buttons.
I find myself using the Call History and Speed Dial more than my Contacts or manual dialing so I wanted access to those two options with one click rather than going through the dial pad or fumbling around with the bottom jog pad.

Why should you have a piece of software running for his.
Press the "green" button and directional pad "right" and you will have the calle history
Press the "green" button and directional pad "left" and you will have the speed dial list

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]

How can I create a quick link to Speed Dial?

I've searched the fora, but haven't found any hints/tips on how to do this. It makes sense for a phone to have an immediate connection to an often-used function, instead of having to drill through 3 layers of menus: press Phone softkey, then Menu, then Speed Dial. I would be grateful to hear from anyone who has managed this.
This should give you everything you are looking for .... and more!

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
