PPCContactsMgr v1.6

Description: PPCContactsMgr is a plugin for the Outlook contacts. It allows to select multiple contacts at once for deletion. Now it allows also to add phone numbers from calls history and received SMS. And recently, beam several contacts and add several contacts to SIM.
Version 1.6
A lot of people asked me if it was possible to beam several contacts at once or add several contacts to the SIM card at once and voila... It's possible now.
- Add Selected contacts to SIM
- Beam Selected contacts
Version 1.5
- added # and * in valid characters (requested by Bigix)
- application is translatable
Bigix wanted this tool to be translated in italian. So we worked together in order to have the tool translated.
Now everybody can have this tool in its own language thanks to mui resource dlls.
Here in attachment is the french version available.(Bigix will probably provide the italian version)
Both files (PPCContactsMgr.dll and PPCContactsMgr.dll.[LCID].mui) should be put in the \Windows directory.
The mui resource dll is just a resource dll containing all the strings used in the application.
Just use a resource editor (http://www.btinternet.com/~wilsoncpw/xn_resourceeditor_setup.exe) and translate the strings in your language. (See attached text file)
The number in hexadecimal in the mui resource dll filename is the default language id used on the pda.
for italia it is:410
for france it is: 40C
All LCIDs can be found here : http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/lcid.mspx
If no mui is provided, the default resource strings from PPCContactsMgr.dll are used. (So English)
Version 1.4
Shows calls where the sender or number field is empty.
Version 1.3
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu and to the contact summary menu. (requested by lvlx)
- Add Phone From Calls History
- Add Phone From SMS
When you receive a phone call, or an SMS, you probably want to store the sender to the contacts, this is already possible. But often the contact already exists and you want to add a new number. This is what these new functions do.
Version 1.0 -> 1.2:
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu.
- Select All Contacts
- Delete Selected Contacts
If you select multiple contacts with the stylus, you will be capable of deleting them.
Cheers
ps.: the cab file should be copied on the ppc and installed from there. The PPCContactsMgr.dll (plugin) is installed in the windows directory (/Windows)
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: cab file is in zip file, also reg file and dll (if you don't want to use the cab file). Some screenshots can be found in the zip as well.
pps.: if PPCContactsMgr is already installed, in order to upgrade it, poutlook.exe shouldn't run.

If I don't use the CAB File how do I uninstall this?

What do you mean outlook.exe must not run how do I turn it off?

1) Just use my Task Manager, select the processes tab, look for poutlook.exe, select it and click on terminate. If the process can't be closed, it will be killed.
2) In order to uninstall the plugin
a) "terminate" poutlook.exe
b) delete the PPCContactsMgr.dll located in \Windows
c) in the zip file, there is the reg file for the plugin, so use a reg editor, to remove the keys found in that file.

Great Stuff DotFred!
I use your Taskmanager v2.3 and ContactsManager v1.2 in my Roms, I will update my Roms with this new version of this little app, it's great!
If I want to upgrade it wihout using the CAB, I only need to replace the .dll file and add the new Registry settings to my Rom? Is this correct?
Thanks a lot,
Molski

Hi Molski,
Glad to hear (read) that!
Yes indeed, because there are new entries in the registry.

very good idea, it was selly to add the contact as unknown contact then copy the no to the original contact then delete the unkonw caller, thanks i am trying and i will feed you back.

Dear Dotfred
i have tried to add a phone no from call history but it displayes only the no's already saved with my contacts. Also i have tried to add a no. from sms i sent not one i received but it is only displayes the sms's i recieved.

Thanks for the info dotFred will try this one out... it seems worth just to be able to select multiple contacts.

Nice program! The SMS part isn't compatible with the Palm Messaging Program, am I correct?

I don't know, I use CEMAPI to access SMS, so I really don't know what Palm uses, but if CEMAPI is also used under Palm, it should work.

You're right, if one of the fields sender or number is empty, I don't show the call, it will be fixed in next release.
For SMS, only the SMS in the Inbox folder are shown.

Frederic,
Thank U very much for All Ur Programms! It is amazing how U can
comprehend to make up for a deficiency in WM5 for the common good!
And all your programms still free as before.
I am agree with Faria: "you are a star. this is dedication." ;-)

Bug fixed?
Frederic - I have had a bug with PPCContactsMgr and I was wondering if it was fixed in this new version. To reproduce the bug, go to Contacts, filter to a contact using the letters on the top of the screen. Now if I choose that contact using the middle select hardware button, or by pushing my Talk hardware button, it actually chooses the first contact in my list. Now if I filter again, it works fine. It's only the first time that it does this. The other related bug is if I hold down on the pad and let it scroll through the letters. When it gets to the letter I want, and I select the contact, it actually selects a different contact.
Does this new version fix this bug? I would test it, but I'm running Molski's AKU 2.3 ROM and I'm not sure if I can update it since the PPCContactsMgr.dll is integrated into the ROM.
Thanks...Brian

Hi Brian,
I don't think this is to do with PPCContactsMgr, the only thing it does is subclassing the outlook window in order to change the style of the contacts listview. I don't do anything else. I tried to reproduce your problem but I can't. I'm running AKU 3.2 (see my signature).
There is something you can try to be sure. Just use this tool to unregister the dll. Do a soft reset and check if you still have problems with the contacts.
Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll (to unregister)
cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if you want to upgrade to new version
1) Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll
2) soft reset
3) install new cab

Everything works once I disable PPCContactsMgr. I didn't unregister the DLL, but I did remove all the registery entries related to it. This has happened to me with AKU 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and Faria's 3.2RC1. Removing the reg entries has fixed it everytime for me.
Could it be something in my pim.vol that is messing it up? I could send it to you for testing it you want.

All right, the best thing to do is to ask Faria, if he has the same problems.
I'm really sorry, because I tried several times, exactly what you did, and not a single problem.
I'm sure it is nothing to do with pim.vol, it's just a database. The problem relies in poutlook.exe
Cheers,
.Fred

Great little program, but only works for default contact program. Usinf PI and it does not seem to work. Please help.

You are right, it must be a bug in the contacts app because I just had it happen to me again. I guess I can reinstall PPCContactsMgr! Sorry for the troubles.

My new TyTN...seems to be missing MMS...

...ok.
I just got a TyTN. On my HTC Universal, there was a MMS console or something...forget what they call it...
But it was flawless and there isn't one on the TyTN from what I can see...
Can someone help me out? It MIGHT be my general non-familiarity of the device so I don't see it...but I don't see any programs or settings that even come close to referencing it...
Thanks...

If I understand the questions correctly
From messaging.
Menu
Tools
Options
Select MMS

You have to install the Shortcut-MMS.cab from ExtendedROM.
I for one, didn't install it, cause the whole messanging application (SMS and E-Mail) starts much faster without MMS installed.
At the moment I'm searching for a proper replacement for MMS that's not that lazy.

Missing MMS Menu on HTC TyTn
Hi,
I have the same problem on my HTC TyTn. In fact, MMS menu is missing. I've read the answer but I don't know where I could find shortcut-mms.cab.
Could you help me, please.
Jee

unhide the extendedrom as described in the extrom unlocker thread. then you should find a file *shortcut*mms*.cab in the dir /ExtendedROM

Hi,
Thanx for answering. I've tried what it explained, but nothing happen. My phone coming from SFR (vodaphone). Maybe there is something else to do.
Regards
ROM Version 1.23.163.3
ROM Date: 06/18/06
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocole: 32.53.7018.01W

Me, too, and I think I've got it figured out..
I have most of this problem solved but need one additional piece of info (at bottom); maybe someone can fill that in for me.
I got a new 8525 from Cingular.com the day they came out. The letter 'A' stuck so I had to exchange it for a new one. The first 8525 I had showed the MMS directory just fine but the second one they gave me did not. I'm not aware of any differences in the way I set them up or how this could be, but MMS has been missing from my second 8525 since I first fired it up. Cingular support was no help.
Here's what you need to do to fix it:
(1) You need to unhide the Extended ROM. Info on doing that can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283750
Note that in my situation my phone was already SIM unlocked, and I found that I did not have to CID unlock my device in order to fix this problem. Information on what the difference is between SIM unlock and CID unlock can be found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SimUnlock
(2) Now, when you open File Explorer, you'll see a new folder listed called "Extended ROM." Open that folder and you'll see a list of .cab files that can install various things for you.
Run the MMS installation .cab file called "MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes" to install the MMS function that somehow got missed in the initial setup. I found that I was not able to install this program to Extended ROM, and I did not try to install it to the storage card, but it installed in my Device memory just fine.
Open up Messaging, and you should now see the MMS folder, unless you soft reset, in which case you have to re-install. In my case, no configuration of the MMS function was needed, and MMS works just fine.
QUESTION: Whenever I soft reset my phone, I lose the MMS function again and have to re-install from the .cab. How do I make MMS a permanent feature of my phone?
I hope this helps folks get at least as far as I've managed and maybe someone else can help finish answering this problem. Thanks in advance.

OK...
Let's say a stupid asshole erased his ext-ROM and is now missing the whole Shortcut-MMS.cab .
Is it possible to flash back only the ext-ROM ?
Can someone send the .cab to the asshole (meaning ME!) ??
Thanks

Htc Weather Plug

Hi,
I've just bought an Htc Cruise, and wanted to add Luxemburg to the Weather plugin, but without success.
I changed the HH_409_WeatherCities.xml buy adding Luxemburg.
<city name="Luxemburg, LU" loca="EUR|LU|LU003|Luxemburg" land="Luxemburg"/>
First I disabled the htc Home in the Settings.
Softreset.
I changed the hh_409_WeatherCities.xml.
Moved The hh_409_Weathercities.xml to Windows Folder.
I receive the message "Unable to retrieve data for selected city."

Are you sure your internet connection is on Of course just at that moment accuweather.com may be unreachable. Try againt in 30 min and make sure you have correctly confured internet on the phone

The Internet connection is working.
When i'm selecting another city it works.
But with cities i added in the xml file it doesn't work.

As I understand it, the HTC weather plugin actually routes it's requests through HTC themselves, and they only serve certain (ie: the default) cities. Have a look at this thread where the author claims to have found a solution:

Excuse me for my bad English ...
The file HH_409_WeatherCities.xml may be "read-only", "System" or "in ROM" and can not be rewritten?

First you have to patch the HTCHome.dll, then you can change the xml-file.

I had the same problem myself, but i found that Resco Explorer can overwrite the file
Btw...the patching of the dll really works, and made the weather plugin work for me!

problems editing the file too
I am having problems editing the file to support my local weather. I have found by reading various post that its a very simple process. But my new WM6.1 ROM on my AT&T Tilt has set the file permissions to "ROM". I have already edited a new copy of the file only to find out its "in ROM" status keeps me from deleting or modifying the file.
I would love to know if I can edit a "in ROM" file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem, but it was solved patching the DLL after disabling the plug-in and copying the the XML file with the Resco. After that, all runs fine

Maybe I am wrong but you spell Luxemburg, but the link is LUXEMBOURG (OU) not (U). In brief you're missing a letter to the word Luxembourg

Just search for HTC Home Customizer - it'll do what you want.

HTC Home Weather Plug-in
Guys,
Firstly, unfortunately HTC home customiser cannot alter the original HTC home plugin (or i never got it to work ), you have to unistall the original and use the one downloaded by HHC, which has bugs (mail icon does not open mail but messaging etc etc)
I downloaded the fixed version of HTC home from here, which allows you to input user city via registry or using advanced config. Works for me and you can manually configure to how you wish it to look. Ive attached the diamond style clocks/icons should you wish to use them, thanks to varanusvincent

XT9 Fix released on HTC asia :-D

Well, after I installed it, it doesnt default to Xt9 any more when I go to new messages
Sweet!

can't find this, can you send the link?

this is fantastic!
what ROM are you using ? will this work with any ROM (and ROM language) ?
i would appreciate the link also!

here is the cab file, it's actually just a registry setting fix.
HTC-DUAL-TOUCH-XT9-TO-ABC-FIX
The registry concerned is:
Code:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME]
CarrierDefaultTextMode=dword:0
(0 for ABC / 1 for XT9)
A friend gave me this link as I am also having a problem with the HTC site.
Enjoy!

oh my god it works !!!!
i cant believe how simple that was !!! thank you so much for the registry entry, i can use my phone to text again !!!

it's great!
this was the most anoying thing on my new dual.
tx a lot,
pirlone

Doesn't work for me
in fact it screws my device up!.. it shows the ABC being as the default input, but I can only type the first letter in each key, multiple presses just repeats the same letter
I guess I will have to reflash the OS.. otherwise I now cant use the text input on the keypad anymore!

works on mine. thanks, dtm for letting me know about this.

Maybe doesnt work on mine becos Im running the WM6.1 Nikki project OS ??
Anyone else that has installed this using this Version?

Can you help me? I am begiiner having Dual 2 days. XT9 is really anoying esp for NON english users.But I cannot fix it as it is described. Can you show me step by step what to do? Thanks

Hi, just copy the cab to the phone and install it. Maybe you need to softreset your Niki. (open the battery case, the reset button is left to the USB connector).
Cheers

I love this and it is working well for me. My only issue is when using the touch keypad software, when you type it highlights the letters and take a few micro seconds to move to the next so if I am typing a sentence, and press space,it deletes that entire word or atleast the last few letters that I typed :-( So the only way to solve this is not text that fast or use the hardware keypad.

Wow I noticed so many people reposting this when this was posted a long time ago.
Anyway, just wanted to confirm this is working on my wifes elf also

Finally there's something to kill XT9

Change Mode from ABC to XT9 or XT9 to ABC.
Hey everyone!
First, I wanted to start out thanking muzikfreakah for the link to the .cab file and the posting the Registry path that needs to be modified. I used these as a base reference for the work I completed on my phone. Instead of wanting to go from XT9 to ABC, I wanted to change my phone from ABC to XT9.
Initially I used PHM Registry Editor to make the necessary change to the Registry value you noted. Shortly thereafter, I updated my ROM to WM 6.1 so I had to reapply the settings manually. This got me thinking. Why not just create a quick .cab file for myself, saving me time in the future. This is exactly what I did!
Attached are two .cab's I created a while back (just never got around to uploading them). The first .cab (SP_Default_ABC_To_XT9.cab) modifies the appropriate Registry Key, setting it to 1 (defaulting to XT9). The second .cab (SP_Default_XT9_To_ABC.cab) does just the opposite, changing the value to 0 (defaulting to ABC).
Final notes before I part -
File Sizes: The file size of each of my .cab's is 1.07 KB, as it only contains the necessary Registry Key change. The link muzikfreakah provided brings you to "HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab". This file size is 20.76 KB, as it appears to use a more complex method of making the necessary Registry changes.​Company and Application Name: After my .cab is installed, it will display in the Installed Programs list as "Seth_Polley Default_XT9_To_ABC" (or vice versa depending on .cab used). After installing the other .cab (HTC+Touch+Dual-default-ABC.cab), the following is displayed in the Programs list: "Customization Customize_Tool".​
In summary, either file will work for changing from XT9 to ABC. While 20.76 KB is nothing by today's standards, you can go smaller yet by using my .cab's (about 1/20th of the file size). Additionally, my .cab's provide a more descriptive name in the Programs list. Pick your poison! To 'install' the Registry modification, simply move the .cab to your phone, execute it, and follow the prompts.
Feel free to PM me if you have difficulties accessing/downloading the files. If you are concerned about using my files, feel free to open the .cab (can use an application like WinRAR) and review the contained "_setup.xml" file to verify this .cab will only make the changes I noted above.
Best Regards,
Seth

Guys,
I found a new version of the HTC Messaging client version HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20152127_00. It is a part from a new rom version 2015. I have all the files (see attachment), but I don't know how to make a cab file from it. Also I am not sure if all the files are the correct WWE files.

This HTC Messaging Client is from a CHT ROM, right? If that's the case, it might not support other characters than CHT ones! Had such an issue when I tried a SKT-based Messaging Client from Leo_SKT_1.78.911.1 ROM!

I can make a cab for you, but what's news on this version?

New version is MUCH faster... It's now realy usable. Still a lot of bugs while receiviing sms is messaging window.

Thanks for the cab! This is a version without the secure box. Can you please make a cab with the mui for secure box included?
Thanks again, anyway.

I have not tested it yet, but here's HTC Messaging Client v1.8.2016 from the Rom that has Manila 2015 core. I included the 0409 files I use with V1.8.2015. (This is an EXT package is someone wants to create a cab from it)
I also attached the Send key files so you have the send icon, instead of the CHT text where the send icon should be.

i can work on it but i'm curently using manila core 2013

1) what is the difference between 2015 and 2016, and why the 1 vs 3 mui files?
2) are the steps to delete and restore messages necessary for the installl to work or are they in place to simply protect ones messages? i ask because i dont care about my messages and it is a bit of a pain to delete, save, restore.
3) regardless of how i attempt to do this i always end up with one of two results:
a) i cannot access my text message application at all
b) i can briefly open the text message app, but it quickly closes and i cannot actually access any messages
if it helps at all:
1) i run spb wms3.5.5 and have sense disabled 100% of the time
2) im on a tmous 2.13 rom, stock.
not sure if there is any further pertinent info but i'd love to get this working and it seems others with my setup have it working.
id really appreciate your feedback.
thanks

1) what is the difference between 2015 and 2016, and why the 1 vs 3 mui files?
2) are the steps to delete and restore messages necessary for the installl to work or are they in place to simply protect ones messages? i ask because i dont care about my messages and it is a bit of a pain to delete, save, restore.
3) regardless of how i attempt to do this i always end up with one of two results:
a) i cannot access my text message application at all
b) i can briefly open the text message app, but it quickly closes and i cannot actually access any messages
if it helps at all:
1) i run spb wms3.5.5 and have sense disabled 100% of the time

UPDATE:
ive made great strides. despite the fact that i never have sense enabled, this is indeed an integral step in the process (otherwise i just got lucky). so here were my steps to success:
1) back up text messages using spb backup
2) permanently delete all messages
3) disable sense (it was already disabled)
4) soft reset
5) install cab (which was transferred to microSD beforehand)
6) press cancel after install to decline restart
7) DID NOT INSTALL THE MUI
8) soft reset
9) enable sense
10) DIDNT BOTHER TO RETRIEVE MY MESSAGES YET
11) Soft reset
12) checked that messaging worked IN sense (and that is was 1.8)
13) DISABLED sense and now this seems to be working perfectly in SPB winmo shell 3.5.5
updates to follow as i progress deeper down the rabbit hole.

Guys,
I found a new version of the HTC Messaging client version HTCMessaging_Client_1_8_20152127_00. It is a part from a new rom version 2015. I have all the files (see attachment), but I don't know how to make a cab file from it. Also I am not sure if all the files are the correct WWE files.
Anybody to help?
