Hi,
is there any option or tool to deactivate the sim contacts?
I know there is a registry key for this, i changed it but if i write a sms and add the recipient all contacts are showing (sim and phone).
I hope somebody can help me - i don't want to delete all contacts on my sim card.
With a registry editor after HKCU \ Control Panel \ Phone - a new DWORD create variable with the name "ShowSim" and to "0" set

it wont stay after a reset. (soft)
i got so tired of the sim contacts that i deleted all the sim contacts. Just back up your HD with a good backup program. I do that every day. YOU need that especially if you mess with the registry and stuff. You can always get them back by saving all of them back to SIM. ITS EASY!!!!!!!! AT LEAST, no sim contacts are showing now...its great.
Why don't you use the search button?
There is a good thread and a problem solving cab still around.
You can also use the Advanced Configuration Tools. Under Phone, there is an option to show SIM card contact. Set it to no and soft reset.
You're not the only one who says that after soft reset it comes back. Try to switch off the device, wait for 20 seconds before soft reseting to ensure that the registry changes stick.

Tired it.
Didn't work for me.
After 3 minutes (just to be sure that 20 secs have passed) when powering it on, Advanced Config still has them on yes.
sims back

do you have this working on your HD?? just curious...it doesnt work on anyone elses.
I have exactly the same problem : none of the solutions (registry edit, Advanced Configuration Tools or th CAB "SIM fix" file) works : SIM contacts are back after every soft-reset/power off.
just put the file under No. 9 (yJay.HideSim) in your autostart folder
http://translate.google.com/transla...tricks-tweaks.html&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=de&tl=en
its not working! looks like that the exe wont started from the autostart folder. When i start it manually I get rid of the sim contacts...
Very quick question, but if I want to solve this by deleting contacts from the sim, where in autosynch can I save contacts to my p.c.? I can't see it, do I have to use outlook to achieve this?
I end up with no contacts on my sim. It's risky couse I got no backup. I simply do know how to do it. Any sugestions, please ....
Anyone foud a good solution, so we can keep contacts on sim as well as in device memory yet ?

Use PIM Backup. It's the best and free.
I found a (workaround) solution that may help you deactivate SIM contacts from showing in your list without the need of deleting them.
First of all, I found this trick when tried to use Gyrator2 application, which seems to fail during reset/start of the device. It is called DelayedExec and it is using for a delayed start of any application you want.
For example, you can set "yJay.HideSim.exe" to start with a delay of 90 seconds after starting up your device. Just a put a shortcut in your Windows\StartUp folder with the following syntax:
"\Windows\delayedExec.exe" 90 "\Windows\yJayHideSim.exe"
Of course you need to copy those 2 exes in Windows folder (or anywhere else) and edit the paths if needed. Also you can use another program like MortScript to do this task.
90 seconds should be enough time to write your SIM PIN (if you have one) so that the sim contacts will be loaded and the delayed application will hide them.
Thanks. This is not necessary anymore. You can use the updated version:
http://translate.google.com/transla...-2.html#post268722&sl=de&tl=en&hl=de&ie=UTF-8
Just copy yJay.HiseSIM to your device, make a shortcut to \Windows\AutoStart / StartUp
Ok i finally got it !!!!!!
I've tried all simfix but it never worked for me.
It seems that the contact fix works only if have installed just few apps. But if you've got a lot of app launching at the start of the HD it wil not work.
So take the kaisersimfix one for exemple. Install it. Remove the KaiserContactsSimFix.Lnk from the \windows\startup (\windows\demarrer for froggies ) cos it launch itself too fast and the registry key modified by the kaiser fix will return to 1 (showsim) by i don't which app .
Take PHM regedit and go to the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Bootlauncher\Apps
Create a new Key with the name you want (for exemple SimFix) with the value name "module" and value name with the exe and his FULL path of the fix you have chosen (for exemple kaiser one: \Program Files\KaiserSimFix\KaiserContactsSimFix.exe).
Add another value name "sleep" with "the value data" 8000 (in decimal or 1f40 in Hex).
And TADA that done Folks !!!!!!
ING HideSIM V 2.1.cab - HTC HD 100% OK

I search the link who launch the icon of BT on the botton right. I lost the icon and I don't want make an hard reset whith reinstall for retreive it.
Thank's
hope this help
try this:
There is a workaround for this problem.
It's not pretty, it requires hacking the registry, but it works.
I found it at http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthr...7403#post397403, but had to make a slight adjustment.
I assume that you know
- How to install form a CAB file
- How to create and edit a shortcut on your Pocket PC
- How to edit the registry on your Pocket PC
Ready? Here we go:
1) Download NoPluginsToday (you'll most likely want the ARM version) from http://www.ictinus.com/NoPluginsToday/
2) Install the CAB somewhere. Make sure you know the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe)
3) Create a shortcut to NoPluginsToday.exe in \Windows\Startup. Name this shortcut ZzzNoPluginsToday, so that it is last in the list of shortcuts to be launched.
4) Start a registry editor, and go to HKLM\init. Look for keys named LaunchXX. You'll want to create a new String key named LaunchYY, where YY is a bigger number than any of the XX you found. I created Launch99. The value for LaunchYY is the exact location of NoPluginsToday.exe (e.g. \Storage\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe) you looked up earlier.
Now you're set! Do a soft reset, and see your Bluetooth icon again! You'll notice your startup time may be a little longer.
How does it work?
The BT icon disappears because of a timeout issue when loading plugins.
We solve this by using NoPluginsToday, which switches all Today plugins off, remembers the settings, and reactivates them the next time it is executed.
By calling NoPluginsToday twice, once via the registry (early) and then again via \Windows\Startup (late), we "postpone" the loading of Today plugins until after the BT icon has been activated. That's your longer startup time for you.
Hope this helps!

When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.
Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!
Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?
On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!
Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.

haha thanx man! i was looking everywhere for this solution. I have a vodafone card and it keeps inserting a CytaVodaMENU in my start menu. deleting the registry value fixed my probs! thanx!
I made it as simple as possible to change your prefered Contact Manager, my friend uses iContact, which seems quite popular here. As downloaded, the script is setup for iContact, but to change it all you have to do is edit the first 2 lines with a text editor.
Run the script and your Softkeys, and Links, all call up iContact, run again and it switches back to Office (Outlook) Mobile!
Does not support 3rd party software, such as SPB Mobile Shell, for SPB Mobile Shell support see this thread.
MortScript is requied, download it here.
I hope you find this useful!
To use:
1. Download and unpack the ZIP file.
2. Edit the first 2 lines in the MSCR file, notepad works fine for this.
set AltContactsName, "iContact"
set AltContactsPath, """\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"""
3. Copy to your device, and make a shortcut.
4. Click the shortcut and answer the "Yes or No" question.
5. Repeat step 4 to swap between the two contact managers!
Once again Great Scripting..
I installed mortscript, ran it, and it said iContact was my default, I whent back to my Today screen, pressed contacts, and it said it wasnt digitally signed, or something of the sort. So, now when I revert back, and try to change again, it wont even give me that message, it just automatically goes to Office Contact manager.
Could anyone please help me? I'm kinda new to all this..
---
Nevermind, I'm and idiot. I put the iContact folder in the device root. heh.
Also, would it be possible to change the Calendar if you change:
"set AltContactsName, "iContact"
set AltContactsPath, """\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"""
to
set AltCalendarName, "PROGRAM"
set AltCalendarPath, """\Program Files\PROGRAM\PROGRAM.exe"""

Glad you figured out the iContact, was going to suggest checking your path, as far as calendar check the calendar thread and don't forget to double check your paths.
for those that are not working do a soft reset, this should be included in instructions
as the previous one. wonderful, thank you very much.
alterantively, another way to set icontact or any other contact program without any scripting is to just go and edit this registry key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
and edit key #1 to the path of your program. pm contacts edits this value to make their program the default. So for iContact, do the same thing. Make sure you back it up in case you would like to go back, but it's not that difficult tho.
edit: sorry didn't know this was a toggle manager where you siwtch between default and icontacts. in either case, the registry key may be good to know, lol

Thats ok, this script just automates the registry entry your describing, but like you discovered, it allows quick swapping the items.

change contact application in diamond
How can I change the contact application on the Diamond screen ("All contcacts") to use iContact?
The script that was mentioned does not change the touchflo contacts soft button.
Is there a way to make this work for instance I'm sending an e-mail and click on add new recipient, then icontact will pop up instead of MS contacts? Even after a soft reboot, the mortscript did not seem to do this. Thanks!

Hi guys. Anyone get this working on the Omnia? I've been playing around trying to get iContact to work, with no luck.
What I'd really like to do is get the Samsung Phonebook app to be used everywhere, i.e. when create new message/email etc. From messaging, when you add a recipient it brings up the normal contacts screen - cant seem to change this.
Cheers
Default contacts manager
Did anyone sort this prob. Open new email or sms message, click on the 'to' field and select contacts to open the contact manager of your choice rather than the awkqard default one ?

I see it's been a couple of months since the last post in the thread. Has anyone figured anything out for us Omnia users?
I manually edited my registry entries to reflect the install directory of iContacts, then powered the phone off completely. However, it doesn't seem to have made a change whatsoever.

... and I need some help....
so... i have an HD2... and i want to get rid of each customization after each new coocked rom that i install....
althoug i searched is still hard to figure it out how to do all the stuff... so i'll just post a small request and if someone has time maybe will give me (and the others) a little help...
i need to automize the following...
install a set of cabs:
cookie home tab
advanced cookie home tab
cookia home tab editor
resco explorer
total commander
1% battery indicator
this is easy through UC
cutomization:
disable my location (registry) - i already found a record in the registry that does that
remove all locations - add my home city
regional settings - my home country
internet default location set to internet (by default it sets itself to wap)
sms: delivery notification ON
camera setings - superfine in pics
manila tabs config - just the order in witch they are and the tabs i don't wanna show... i founded in registry also
font set to smallest
vibration (haptic) disable
phone ringtone set to K.O.
sms/mms set to alert fader high no vibrate
email set to alert shine no vibrate
missed call no alert
ring type set to ring no vibrate
quiet ring se to ON

callendar look forward 31 days
shortcut grid 4x4
1 tab of shortcuts
default page: no1
shortcuts in the home tab... i found those in the registry also
facebook account credentials
and i think that's it...
with the os customization i know i need to insert somehow the registry settings... but i don't know how.... with chteditor settings and facebook i guess is still registry settings but where and how?
I've seen sashimi... but still... I know how to use it... I don't know how to configure it...
So... plz HELP...
lots of cooked roms have an auto instal feature. put all your cabs in a folder called autoinstall on your sd card then when your phone boots after a flash/hard reset will install them.(let the phone sit for 5 mins when it first starts up, thats when it installs them.
as for the settings, build your own cab. I use wince cab manager. takes a little time but once its set up you just run it after everything else has finished (don't auto install it, cos the cabs don't necessarily instal in the right order. so for example you instal an opera tweak then install opera your tweaks are overwritten.)
my tweaks cab installs my custom lock screen, enables htc magnifier, tweaks opera cache and user agent, decreases screen sensitivity, and a few other things.
Even better, heaps better, get sashimi, study the tutorials, then you can choose which cabs to install to internal meme, which to sd, what reg keys to import, what static files to copy where, and if you need it, add scripts, certificates, run EXEs, whatever you ask.
I use mortscript for doing customisation stuff.... I generally run nrg rom's which use XDA_UC, so I can drop .reg files in the folder and it adds them on rebuild.
Code:
#Backup Ringtone Settings
outfile="\storage card\xda_uc\RingTone.Reg"
If (FileExists(outfile) = 1)
Delete(outfile)
endif
key="ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0"
Category=RegRead(HKCU,key,"Category")
SavedSound=Regread(HKCU,key,"SavedSound")
Script=Regread(HKCU,key,"Script")
Sound=Regread(HKCU,key,"Sound")
WriteFile(outfile,"REGEDIT4^NL^")
WriteFile(outfile,"^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"[HKEY_CURRENT_USER" & "\" & key & "]^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Category""=""" & Category & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""SavedSound""=""" & SavedSound & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Script""=""" & Script & """^NL^",true)
WriteFile(outfile,"""Sound""=""" & Sound & """^NL^",true)
That is from my backup script. Creates a .reg file with the settings for the ringtone stuff in to the XDA_UC folder so my last ringtone settings carry across
thanks guys....
use the installation of software i got it... and if the rom isn't UC capable i can do it with sashimi (i have seen the tuto videos and read the doc)... also with sashimi i can do my email settings...
what i didn't understand is how to build my customization.... i just search every registry record... write it down.... and then what?.... sahii says to put it there somewhere... but not exactly how to create it.... and what if a custom thing it is not present only in one place like user or local machine?...
don't understand your question. But to create the file, use the regexport tool. You build an INI describing which registry keys you want. The tool extracts them and creates a backup file for future re-deployment.
Been searching for a topic like this for a while!
Thanks for starting this thread!
I too am a flashaholic and REALLY get frustrated at having to customize EVERY time you flash...
Installing apps is easy, dump them into the UC folder on your SD card and voila.
The tricky part is getting the Regional Settings and Time Zone sorted. I tried exporting these settings from the Registry and putting them into the UC folder, but it still doesn't work...
Just use SASHIMI. This awesome soft does everything you mentioned above!
BTW: SASHIMI has a big help-file/HowTo included and you can find good video-tutorials on youtube as well.
i'll try sashimi more... and get back...
so for sashimi... actually you need a clean install with all programs and customization manually made and after that export the registry settings?
ok.. i've found CeRegEditor... with this I saw that I can export my registry... now I need help in order to localize all settings I need... and to avoid to miss regs that are placed in more than one place...
disable my location, manila tabs config - just the order in witch they are and the tabs i don't wanna show... and cookie settings for home layout - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
phone ringtone set to K.O., sms/mms set to alert fader high no vibrate, email set to alert shine no vibrate, missed call no alert, ring type set to ring no vibrate - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications
I don't know if it is enough for the mentioned settings or if they appear in other places also.... i found out that ceregeditor only exports folders not single keys...
to export whole paths of registry keys, just go into totalcommander's registry editor, in double folder view, then COPY the selected folder of registry keys to a physical folder on the device, it will transparently create a .reg file
To import the reg file back again, either you use sashimi, or you COPY the .reg file from the memory into the registry with totalcommander
Pretty impressive huh
ok.. my first try was a mess....
i used sashimi... put the cabs all together.... this worked ok... although i have to change some names to install them in the correct order...
i made some reg files with CeRegEditor via activesync on the computer... i've put them into reg folder.... but nothing was imported... i think the format was not ok... at least i know what regs i need for the moment...
and last... i made an xml via sashimi/makisu... but this didn't worked either...
i'll keep trying....
LE: ok... it seems that i managed to make with some of the registry... with the xml file for the active sync i'll try more tomorrow....
does anyone know where I can locate facebook credentials inside registry.... not facebook the app but the sense integration...
and also where can i find the registry for

hehe, been at this point 2 years ago... ^^
mortscript won't work this way. the reg-key get's reset with first pin-unlock after reboot, not during boot-process itself (startup-dir). so, unless you can trigger the script with pin-unlock, it would get set to 0 during boot, after pin it get's set to 1 again.
i tried with a startup-link to a reg-file back then, works the same way as mortscript (reg-files associated to sktools, resco would work too). settled with opening that link manually once after unlock.
(enabling flight-mode and then re-enabling phone doesn't bring the line-icon back, it's really just the very first pin-unlock after reboot)
dunno about disabling any other icons in taskbar, but them i want anyway.
In my ROM I remove the icon and edit the registry.

i thought that mortscript had a problems with windows/starup/ - in that case it also has a problem with /windows/start menu/ too.. (i never actually wanted to say anything incase i was wrong, but i noticed this a few weeks ago when using a script to delete .lnks.. )
