[REQ] People Tab Alternative - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

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.

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.

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,

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?.....

Try to add the Favorites in the Cube (they automticly appears in Home Tab) not in HTC Home, that solved the problem on my Device

Contacts from the Todayscreen

Hi, did anyone know how i can take my contacts on my Todayscreen? Like IContacts, just for the todayscreen Thx

All your Contacts? Or just some of them (e.g., Quickdial)?
If you just want key contacts for quick access, there is a cool product called Face Contact by CNetx that might work. If you want ALL contacts, I have not seen one....
Yeah, I have been thinking about this too, would be great if iContact could be made into a Today Plugin. I will pose this question in the icontact thread.

Try SPB Phone Sweet. I know you have to pay for it but there are plenty of places were you will be able to find it below one penny if you get my drift, I just cannot post them on the site. SPB Phone Sweet will allow you to post picture contacts, up to 15 I believe on the Today Screen. Really good function program which I used in conjuction with SPB Pocket Plus but have since then moved to SPB Phone Suite. Good luck.
first... thx for the answer´s and sry about my English
So i really looked for a today plugin who show ALL CONTACTS, like icontact i have now Facecontacts, thats great but i can only show a few contacts or all with many work... spb.... hm i have ultimate launch if i use spb too my kaiser will be slow i think.... so lets search another one
I wrote it in BURT thread...
I got UL too and in combination with spb phone suite there is no problem. My HTC touch is slower
ok but i think this have to look so:
Even I am looking for such thing from quite a while now.. but without luck.. I am trying to search or develop something which can integrate programs like Icontact/PCM image viewer to today screen.. Something like we can see in HTC Diamond but with less memory usage.. There are prgs like Throttle Launcher which does this, but heavy on memory.. consumes like more than 10 MB.. Anyone has any idea on how can we achieve this..
try this
you can use face contacts, its the best looking contact plugin available. and it scrolls like s2p cover flow (but smoother)
if u read u will see.... i use this.... but its not so good i think
As I've mentioned in Icontact thread
use one of your softkeys to invoke Icontact, or use Mortbuttons - you can assign one in today screen with Icontact and other phone app inside
Again Pisca, how does this establish a today plugin
1. not only icontact, any software what can do this, but in the today screen.
2. if u can look on my today screen? NO SoFTKEyS
I have set Spb Diary to show photo contacts on the Today Screen and it works out great...

See post in Icontact thread
You can also use DialTab.
Everything listed here are the best options. Trying to fit all of iContact as a plugin on your today screen eliminates the app itself. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Perhaps "Ineosoft Adressbook". You have a bar on the todayscreen, like the HTC Random Access and then the adress is popup. Have a look on it.
Or we can make a shortcut to HTC Random Access for the today screen.
i am currently playing around with my own made C# picture dialer that is displayed as a today item (very early beta i might add ). it enables a user to see pre defined photo contacts (which is of course nothing new).
as with most photo dialers, a long (2 second) press on the photo dials the number that belongs to the contact. (it also has an option to assign two numbers to one photo contact, which i find very usefull, eg the first number is dialed when you press the photo for two seconds, the second number is dialed when you press the photo for four seconds.)

Calender bug with month view

Hello, does anyone has the same the problem as me:
I manually set the calendar to default to month view. However when I tap on calendar in TF3D it opens it up to today's agenda. It does however start in Month view but then will snap immediately to todays view.
It is probably probably a bug from HTC (because when you disable TF3D it works, you have the month view).
I would be very grateful if any of you could help me to fix this bug.
idem here
Got the same problem. I'm currently using (ROM) SwiftBL Diamond ROM 7.5 Full [16MBPP].
Yes, it happens, with any ROM I've tried. Pretty annoying...
for the millionth time people....
A. use the search, this topic has been disgussed in at least 10 other threads¬
B. this is NOT a bug, HTC MEANT IT TO BE LIKE THIS. when you open the calender from TF3D it will always open it in the AGENDA view as the home page of TF3D is designed to show you appointments and activities for the day you are in!
Why dont you try this..
Open the calender from the Programs list and not from TF3D... it opens it in the default you have set it to right?
The only workaround is to pin the calender to the start menu or the TF3D programs list and open it from there.
NOW PLEASE NO MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS...
... AND NOW IM ONTO MY GRIPE WHICH IS PEOPLE THAT WANT TO OPEN THE FM RADIO WITHOUT THE HEADSET..... IDIOTS, WHILE THEY ARE AT IT THEY SHOULD TURN THEIR TV ON WITHOUT THE AREAL PLUGGED IN!!!
Try Dutty's rom release, he "fixed" this problem. it's bloody awesome

what a negative post...whats up with people losing their cool so easily..
personally, EVEN if HTC meant it this way, i dont find it useful for my use. I would rather open it directly from my home tab without having to go to the start menu or program list.
Maybe there is a registry tweak or editing in the manila to make it load a certain page at startup
If duttys rom takes care of it proves that its possible to be fixed

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

Favorite shortcuts in home tab

Hi all.
I'm new on this section, I've just bought my Leo
Flashing to official 1.48 ROM (HTC), I've experienced just one problem : I can't delete shortcuts I've placed on home tab... I've installed 4x4 rows favorite tab from this forum, is it the problem ? Have I to delete this ? This cab has some known pb on Leo ?
Please help me
Thanx to all for your answers !
OK, I've uninstalled the "Vovichek_Jamrecords 16 TT UPDATED.cab" to get back to 3 rows... and now I'm able to delete shortcuts. But I'm still on 3-rows (9 buttons) in home tab.
Is there any way to get 4-rows or 5-rows buttons on home tab ?
On my Touch Pro 2, with Valkyrie ROM, I've 5-rows in Sense 2.5 ...
No one on this section use any cab to get mroe buttons on home tab ?
Please share your experience !
I've got 5x4 on mine, and it seems to work fine. I can remove links without issue, and contact images work too.
You can get it here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591333
You need "Vovichek_Jamrecords_20shcut_m2525.cab"
thanks ! =)
No problem mate
I've one minor graphical bug with this cab : when synchronizing my contacts with facebook, the "facebook" (F) icon near my contact's shortcuts is toooooo big, so I can't read the name of my contacts, because this icon is over it.. did you have this pb too ?

I've seen a thread about that and did mess about with some of the icons to see if I could fix it, but to no avail. (I've just had a search, and can't find that thread, but it is there somewhere!)
I personally don't have contacts on my quick links. I'm happy with the people tab being 1 tab along and just use that instead.
