Edit Manilla for iContacts "Burt Edition"

I was wondering if anyone would know how to edit the Manilla softkey to point to this app?
So that when you scroll through to the "People" Tab, and you have the option for "All People" would it be possible to point that to iConfig?

Does it replace the default contacts interface on the Diamond or work along side it?
Also - and I have tried to find the answer out myself - what is the difference between the Burt and standard edition?

The Burt edition is configurable and skinable, it has many more features.
It was only this morning i tryed both versions, i uninstalled the standard edition straight away.
I would recommend using the Burt Ed.
Also it does not replace the default contacts, it runs in along side

Thanks for the reply mate. I kinda wish it did replace the normal contacts interface, what's the point of having two contacts directories? Hmm...

You can do as follow:
Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.

Use SSMapa http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777&highlight=ssmapa
and change poutlook to icontact.
This makes the All Contacts on the contact page start iContact

Thats the point of this thread, so that when you do press contacts it starts icontacts not the normal one.

I disagree...
iContact thread is located - i think - on General/Development and Hacking...therefore it iso not a Diamond' specific thread.
So, for me it is reasonable to discuss this issue with TF3D/manila forum

manila 2d and today

I love manila2d but i also like to have many apps in today as gprs counter etc
since it is not possible to have them on manila 2d....
would it be possible to launch manila as the cube? would like to choose between those two ways ..maybe it would be too slow
is it possible?

it would be ok even a second today that starts when you push a key and quit when you push it again.
I tried second today but it seems to don't work

SecondToday works for me really goooood. ...

Try this one, it work great for me :

You have to tell me what you want to se and i tell you in run smooth on my polaris when i shift betwin today screen it turn the other today programs down

Configuration homescreen
Is it possible configure today? I´d like to see more than only one appointment. I dont need to view the call history. So the best will be to cut call history and extend the calenar view...

I have secondtoday running:
1. TFlo 2d
2. Spd Diary
and this works very good.

It is posibility, but my idea is to see calendar in manilla today (it is so nice...). Calendar in default view is not so useful.

Yes, the same for me.
And when I push the calendar-button in the mainscreen, I open my second today which shows me SPB-diary!!
Download VJBrisk [http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJBrisk]
1. Rename vjbrisk.exe to Calendar.exe
2. Make a link to you secondtoday
3. Name the link VJTarget.lnk
4. Copy the new Calendar.exe and VJTarget.lnk to your Cruise in de \windows map

Frepke

Thank you so much. But I dont need any calendar application - Im satisfied with the default one. Only I want to see 2 (or more) upcoming appointmens (in main home screen - manilla 2D. So my idea was to edit probably HTCHomeSettings.xml file. As i told: remove call history, it will make more space for calendar appointment. May be use smaller font if it will be necessary for view 2 (at least) appointments.

second today
hello
i have installed secondtoday.
First Today screen: TF2
Second Today screen: SPB Diary + the ''launching TouchFLO...'' which always stays like that. Am I doing something wrong here? I only want to see the SPB Diary program on my second today screen.
Please advise!
Thanks
piXie

in the options of secondtoday just check spb diary. Do NOT check TF2d.
TF2d has to be enabled only in general today settings

thanks!
piXie

Any idea where I can download a cab that contains manila 2D for polaris?

Contacts on main TF3D tab ?

Hello people,
I was wondering if it's possible to have your contacts show up on the main TF3D tab instead of going there and pushing contacts.
Do i have to link a photo to the contact to do that ?
Thanks in advance !

You can use HD Tweak (in My signature) to assign left and right soft keys to link to contacts then you can go straight to contacts

Just to add to ozmoran's comments. HD Tweak does change the soft keys on manila 2.0 & 2.1, but it doesn't work on manila 2.5.

Unfortunately this isn't possible at present. You are restricted to amount of contacts on TF3D Contact tab and you cannot get to rest of contacts by swiping left/right on TF3D

modifying Home Page in HTC Sense

Hi,
Is there a way to launch Pocket Informant instead of Calendar in the Home Page of the HTC sense?
Thanks
Daniel

Changing sense application links
It is possible, but you will have to familiarise yourself with the registry.
The HTC manila 2.5 calendar is one of the best features for me, so I will not be bothering to change it.

Xaddict: can you be more specific? I'd like to link the 'next alarm' message on the home screen to G-Alarm.
I found a couple of promising registry strings under HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/HTCService, but I don't know how to proceed from here.

I don't have problems with editing the registry. I have done it with the HD but I am not sure I can use the same keys for the HD2 as for the HD
Daniel

I tested SSMaHo, which I remember from my previous device. It works. That might be a solution for you, Daniel.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810
Unfortunately, SSMaHo can't differentiate between a tap on the alarm symbol and a tap on the big clock. I want the alarm symbol to open G-alarm and the clock to open the default time settings; but if I make the alarm symbol point to G-alarm, the clock does the same...
Therefore I'm still curious about those registry settings.

HTC Calendar "lost"

I'm having trouble with the calendar. I've been using a custom ROM for a while now (OzROM), and I only just realised that I've only ever been seeing the Windows Mobile calendar. It was only when I installed the latest OzROM (3.40) that I happened to open the calendar before restoring my contact backups and usual apps.
I thought nothing of it, and went about setting up Cookie's Home Tab with my usual shortcuts etc. After doing this, I noticed that tapping on the calendar/appointments on the homescreen now did nothing at all, despite not changing the application settings in CHTEdit.
The calendar on the homescreen tabs at the bottom is unaffected by this and still shows the HTC calendar, however, I tend not to have that turned on.
I then used CHTEdit to try and restore the homescreen calendar/appointments to run the HTC calendar, but only the Windows one is selectable - restoring the default simply makes it not work again (nothing happens when tapping the calendar summary on the homescreen).
My question is: Does anyone know what exe the HTC calendar uses (if any), and where is it? If I can create a start menu shortcut to it, then I can select it as the calendar application in CHTEdit.
I want the nice black useable calendar back!

i had same but i fixed it.
Before it happened , i have made several changes :
i made mistake and used 2 differents BG4all cabs and the cab for showing 28days in calendar
i undid cabs and put the backup of the manila for agenda
and all was fixed
i can send the french manila file if you want it.

what I'd like to have is to use HTC Calendar in Today screen as I don't use Sense at all. is there any HTC Calendar ripoff? thanx for any info!

The HTC calendar is part of manila, so if you don't run Sense then you can't use it. You also lose it if you do run Sense but you turn the tab off.
AFAIK there's no way to run a manila tab that you have disabled.
Sorry mate.

that's quite a shame... HTC Calendar is great looking and much usefull than the WM Calendar... well, I can live with that
Thanx for the info anyway

Ah, yes I see. Works as long as the tab is on. I guess I can live with that. Thanks for the explanation!

You're welcome. It is a shame though, as the HTC calendar looks like a supermodel next to the MS one.

pardon my ignorance here, but is there a cab of any sorts to install the HTC calander.?

just so you are aware, i am running sense, and i can get the HTC calender whan i click on the quick link at the bottom and when i tap on the date in the middle but when i click on an appointment it brings up the ugly WM Calendar.
Any idea?

i have some how with some fiddling about with CHTE managed to sort this
dont ask me how

I just ugraded my HD2 to the latest stock ROM from Tmobile and the appointment calendar is now better than the HTC calendar, and of course way better than the WM calendar in the previous ROM. I did not use any tweaks or cooked ROMs. I sync my outlook (Email, calendar, & contacts) with MS Exchanger server at work so I don't know it that has anything to do with the new & improved calendar look.

i don't know if it's still an actual issue, but with my HD2 (1.66 dutch rom) i managed to get the HTC Sense calendar just by selecting "default" in the applications menu for calendar.
I'm using CHT 1.8.5.1 now and i had the same problem, i selected the calendar icon in the program list to set a program for CHT calendar but i just found out that it's not needed at all. just press default and it should be ok
at least, with my HD2... i think it's important to switch on the calendar tab of HTC sense, so CHT can "find" this program as default application for calendar items on the homescreen.
i hope this works for all the people who have the same problem and don't like the ugly standard WM calendar.
