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,
Carlos

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...

Schap's Advanced Config (2.x only!) - new xml/cab (nikagl)

Dear all,
I'll use this thread for updated versions of Schap's Advanced Config XML updates. It will contain a zip and a cab-file which installs the English version of the XML (AdvancedConfig_040C.xml). A changelog will be posted later in a wiki...
Please note that installing it on 3.x will work but will remove several of the new tweaks in 3.x.
Regards,
Nika.

Attached zipped-xml/cab-file contains a new version of the AdvancedConfig xml. Changelog is in the Advanced Config Wiki.

Nice work! I assume I can run this on my Hermes, & is there info on options that don't apply to my tytn1 (like for kaeser only)? Also, do u recommend I uninstall my current schaps v2.1, or should I just run your cab over it?

Thank you for all your efforts on improving Advanced Config, maintaining a changelog/wiki is a really good idea!
At the moment I'm too busy to care of Advanced Config development, but I will release a new version with new features later in july, and I hope it will fully support lastest HTC devices (Touch Dual, Cruise, Diamond,...).
For device specific tweaks, don't forget to add a condition to make them visible only on supported devices.

Thanks Nika, great work!
Grtz, Leo

Advanced config crashes
Hello.
On my HTC Diamond, the following sequence of steps crashes the program:
Menu -> Connection settings
Long click on my internet connection (Orange Internet) which is set to Always On
From contextual menu I choose Enabled (I want to set it to auto disconnect, which can't happen if I let it on Always On)
I get the message Error. An unexpected error has occured in AdvancedConfig.exe.
I'm using the latest XML.
Please help - I understand auto disconnect can save battery life, which is important for a Diamond.
Thank you for a great program

Hi all,
I've seen each and every of your responses, thank you for your feedback! I will respond to all of them, but probably sometime at the end of this week as I am too busy to make the changes this week... more soon

Not sure what you mean with info on the options? Currently restrictions are either set by device or by a registry key being available. Here's a list of the device-restricted tweaks:
Slide wake up: Kaiser, Diamond, Mogul
Phone sleep during call: Kaiser, Polaris, Diamond
Fast sleep during call: Kaiser, Polaris, Diamond
Mute phone when flipped: Diamond
The ones restricted by key are too many to mention - if a tweak is missing let me know and I'll let you know why it might be restricted for your device.
For the updates, please see the Wiki (added to my signature). Yes, you need to install both the 2.1.0.0 version of Schap's and my xml to get the latest XML's. As opposed to KaiserTweak I am not able to include the AdvancedConfig.exe unless Schap's allows me and provides me with the correct certicates...

Not sure what you mean? The cab only overwrites the old version of the English XML...I've not written a Dutch version of the XML (way to much time to translate + I hate Dutch on any technical items - all my devices like phones, laptops, tv's, vcr's, etc., are set to English even though I'm 100% Dutch!).

Hmmm... I've added this to the new xml, but there seem to be more keys that might be related. See for example the following webpage:

This mentions two other keys:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\http\Shell\Open\Command
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\EFBROWSER
Should I add two more tweaks for these too or is the above sufficient? FYI, I've restricted it to devices that have the :MSPIE key only...
Have fun testing!

Ok, U clarified my Hermes questions.
The new wiki page looks good and should be very helpful.
I'll run the xml cab and let U know how it goes on the Hermes.

Super
Now I finally made AdvancedConfig work!
One thing though.. after running it, on my bottom line, the "soft buttons", are they called that?, on left side "Calendar", right side "Contacts".
On the LEft side it is now written "\windows\ca..." instead of Calendar, the right side is still ok.
I'm using an norwegian version, so maybe that can have something to say (If I could get english version of the operating system I would be very grateful though)
Edit: Used the latest zip: AdvancedConfig_0409-nikagl-20080707-2339.zip

Hi Asbjorn,
When you run the softkey editor (Key Mapping) you have two lines - the top-line is the file it runs and the bottom line is the name it has on the menu's - so change the name (second line for the Left and Right Softkey) into Calendar and Contacts and it should be ok...

NueTools

nueTools > Pocket PC
These tools enhance features for PocketPC devices, especially HTC based devices. They come in cab format or OEM Package format. To use a cab format file, simply copy it on your device and run it.
To use a OEM Package format file, you need to drop it into a kitchen, which you can find at PPCKitchen. If you need assistance with inserting a package into a kitchen, the PPCGeeks forums or #PPCGeeks and #PPCKitchen channels on irc.freenode.net would be a good place to start.
Select from a tool below:
nueExtROM Read/Write to your extended ROM (device specific Titan)
nueFont Modify default system fonts.(device specific?)
nueLight Turns your mogul/Titan into a versatile flashlight.(device specific?)
nueMassStorage nueMassStorage turns your device into a USB flash reader
nueNoBar Disables the bottom bar on the today screen
nuePerformance View performance and boot data.
nuePower displays advanced battery info, 1% battery increments
nueRecMod updated version of RecMod
nueSlidingKB Switch or disable the software keyboard when you slide it open.
nueStorageManager Format, Scan, Mount/Unmount Partitions

Tips, tricks for getting the most out of Sense 2.1

Hi all,
Ever since the new Sense 2.5 started surfacing, I have been watching all the cooks go for the new interface, but sadly (in my opinion), productivity-wise, it is a step back from Sense 2.1.
I missed the speed, the responsiveness and business-functionality of the "old" Sense 2.1.
For those of you in the same shoes as me, I present you my collection of "upgrades" for the Sense 2.1 interface, to combine the speed of S2.1 with the extra functions of S2.5
I will update this page as I find something new.
I do not take credit for the tweaks, I found them here-and-there, wherever possible I will give a link to the original thread.
Also, I use all the tips/tricks/hacks/programs on these pages, so they do work flawlessly.
Tools you will need:
1. I use Total Commander for copying files into the Windows directory. You can get if for free HERE. Alternative: use Resco Explorer.

Addon programs / cabs
Kimi has successfully extracted a number of Sense 2.5 extras to work with Sense 2.1. ORIGINAL THREAD
New, full page e-mail tab from new sense.
1. Install "Email_tab.cab" from end of post
2. Extract "Email_update.zip" from end of post into \Windows directory.
3. Soft reset
New camera with autofocus function (a lot faster for taking pictures)
1. Extract "Camera.zip" into \Windows directory
New calendar tab with new appointment editor, agenda and week view
Extract "Calendar_pack.zip" on your computer.
1. Install "1_Calendar_Tab"
2. Extract "2_Calendar_update.zip" into \Windows directory
3. Install "3_HTCFramework"
4. Install "4_SharedResource"
5. Install "5_AppointmentMod"
6. Install "6_AppointmentEditor"
7. Install "7_ContactPicker"
8. Soft reset

Registry edits/hacks
The following hacks I found under the Leo thread, but work just fine and dandy with our Topazes and Sense 2.1 environment. All credits go to folks in that thread.
1. Enable Haptic Feedback in Opera for Link Clicking
Go to HKLM\Software\Opera\Defaults
Add new DWORD Value as Name: VibrationEnabled and DWORD Data (dec): 1
2. Enable Auto Data Disconnect for Auto Email Downloads and Other Downloads with a Cab File
When you have auto email downloads enabled, data is not disoconnected after mail retrieval and thus your battery is drained much faster. Modify the following reg edit to have data disconnect after 60 seconds. You can test this by tapping on the notfification bar while downloading emails and watch the data connection close after idle for 60 seconds.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\ConnMgr\Planner\Settings
CacheTime = 60
SuspendResume = should be blank
VPNCacheTime = 60
3. Boost Performance:
Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS
Change - CacheSize to 4096

Thanks for these tips. The camera does appear to be faster. And also the email tab seems much quicker. I like the fact that you can read most of the email now, which is way more efficient than the previous tab, inwhich most of the mail was hidden in the big envelope.
However, the buttons for other mail adresses in the email tab (the small envelopes on the right) are horrible dissorted, as is the sms tab. I didn't found a way to solve this.
Also, it appears to be important that you install the agenda tweaks according to the numbering. Without noticing it, I started at the bottom and didn't see any agenda after installing everything. Therefore I reinstalled the 7 files in the right order. I do see the agenda now if i select the agenda tab. However, nothing happens when I select "day".

Hmmm. I do not see any of the distortion that you are talking about... Which ROM do you use?
As for the agenda, it works flawlessly for me. Again, which ROM and which language do you use?
I hope I can help!

Unfortunately none of the "upgrades" - email, camera, calendar works right for me either. Email has distorted graphics; camera has white letters on white background for the menu; calendar works the best except also white dates on white background so I can't read anything.
And the only way to go back to the original one was a hard reset. Fortunately I have backed up the phone yesterday so it wasn't a big deal, but it may not be so easy for others.
EDIT: just realize this is not for touch pro2. Would this be the reason? I'm using tmobile touch pro2 with stock wm6.5 rom.

I think it might be that you are on a stock ROM. It works just fine for me, on any 2.1 cooked ROM that I've used...

The language I use is Dutch. Installed the rom a while ago, so I cant really remember which one it was. I found two roms on my HD, so it must be one of these.

I'm sorry... For Dutch, put the attached files into your Windows directory...
The 17xxx is for the Caelndar tab and the 44xxx is for the email tab.
Do a soft reset afterwards! I hope this solves your problem!

Hello Kristof,
Thank you for your help. Unfortunatly it didn't work. The only change I noticed was that now the "day" button in the calender tab is replaced by "IDS_Calend...". But I still can't select the calender day view and the envelops on the email tab still look horrible.

Hmmm... I'll dig myself into Kimi's thread to see if anyone notices what you notice...
Strange, though, it should work for everybody...
I'll try to come back with a solution for you!
