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.
Kimba58
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.
Brian
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
It does not work for me!

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

Hi,
I have SIP change installed on my HTC Touch. But when restart my phone there's comes a messaging like: "The file "sipchange" can not opened. It is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the components isn't found. You must this file install again or recover if this problem repeated". I have installed it a few times again, but no result. Does anyone know what te problem is?
Thank you
When dealing with complex issues.
The best is to hard reset it.
I have this problem previously and hard reset does it.
PS: Backup before hard reset.
No, it was my rom That program is for an English rom. I'm from the Netherlands so my rom is Netherlands too. The path to the *.exe is different between English and Netherlands. Because it is an other languages.
Oh.
Is it a language pack or something?
You're inputing other languages into the phone right?
My rom is dutch. The program Sip change is a program to change my default keyboard. If i do a soft reset, then cames my standard keyboard back. With sip change you can change that keyboard to an another keyboard like PocketCM.
This program starts directly after starting up my mobile. But he can't find the program self in /Program files/Sipchange/sipchange.exe. In dutch, this path isn't te same as English. Because it is a different language. That's why he can't find the .exe. But now it's over because i know what te problem was
Srry if you don't understand me te last post I tried to speak so good as possible english
Its okay.
Thanks for sharing that to me.
Cheers.
I flashed my HTC Viva with pdaviet's 6.5 Rom (which is in all other ways totally cool) but now when I start an SMS or email I can no longer start typing the recipient's name in and have the phone search my contacts and auto complete the address or phone number. I have checked in my options Search All Address Books. Is there a tweak for this?
Thanks!
Susan
did u hard reset your phone after flashing the rom? if you did'nt then you should...also do take note hard resetting will delete everything on the phone's memory, and it will restore it back to how it was when u first flashed it. hope this helps.
No this won't help even if you hard resset so there is a plugin file to install on it ... so find it out i'm alsoo looking for that file i think it was uploaded in any topic like Wm6.1 v(1.6)
Hi guys,
My new htc doesn't remember the new words added in dictionary after a soft reset, I have already contact htc support and they tell me that happen because is stored in memory RAM (WTF??).
Can I edit the t9 database and add the words? I have tried with "eT9MyWords" but doesn't work..
Thanks in advance.
does anyone have the same problem?
yes, i have
What ROM do you have?
What keyboard?
did you perform a hard reset to your device after you've purchased it?
I'm having the same problem and haven't found any solution. There is a T9Editor somewhere on the net, but it also doesn't work (at least for me).
I am thinking about buying Cootek TouchPal which also has T9 and can save user entered word, but I'd much rather have the HTC T9 Keyboard save my words...
Hopefully someone will find a way...
we can see this problem only on wm 6.5, becouse this OS store the file of t9 words in the ROM(why???). i dont want to use another keybord.
this problem was on my td2 before hard reset and after it.
I made a little (dirty) MortScript script that reads words from a text file and automatically enters them into the T9 database.
The script has to be run manually after every reset/shutdown or could be entered to the notification queue so that it is automatically run after every reset/shutdown.
Installation:
* Expand the zip file into some directory on computer.
* Edit the file "t9user.txt" to contain the desired words:
- one word/line
- be sure to keep the empty line at the end of the file
* Edit the 1st line of file t9user.mscr:
- this line reads: et9mywords_title = "T9 Meine Wörter"
- change the text between the quotation marks to the title of your eT9MyWords.exe
- I'm using the german version so the title reads "T9 Meine Wörter"
* Copy everything into a folder on your PPC and change to that folder on your PPC
* Start the included MortScript.exe to register the script file type ".mscr"
(This should not be required if you already have MortScript installed)
* start the script by "clicking" the file "t9user" with the MortScript logo...
The script should start eT9MyWords.exe (which is shipped with the Touch 2) inside the "Windows" folder and enter all words from the text file. Afterwards eT9MyWords.exe is automatically closed again.
It is quite an ugly workaround, but at least it works
PS: Feel free to improve my script or use it any way you like, but please report any improvements so we all can benefit...
Thanks!
I'll test it.
It works
Good job! It works well! For french WM version, the t9user.mscr file modification is "XT9 Mes mots".
Good job georg.madler!
not a perfect solution, but works fine!
the Portuguese title of eT9MyWords.exe is "XT9 Minhas palavras"
Thank you!
Hi!
Glad that my script is working for you...
I know this way is not very elegant, I'm looking for a way to add words directly to the T9 database without the use of eT9Mywords.exe allowing for "better performance" and maybe a way of extracting added words from the database to the textfile...
Bye,
Georg
Submit to HTC support
Dear all,
I'm also having this t9 issue and at the moment I'm using the script, thanks again.
I submited the problem to HTC support and they were responding that I was the first reporting this problem...
If you're reading this, it's probably that your Mega is also loosing the T9 entries... so report the problem to HTC, in this way they will perhaps take some time to solve it!
fix for this problem
View attachment MEG_S00015.zip
run in device.
Can you tell us where you got that file from and if it is working with all language-versions of the Mega?
Thanks!
Edit: I tried it and it works! But sadly this hotfix does break something else:
If you use the phonepad-style keyboard to enter text only the first letters of the buttons pressed appear, the word suggestions do show that the word is recognized and word in the text area is replaced with the recognized word after you press space.
For example if i enter my name "Georg" the textarea reads "gdmpg", only after i press the space button those letters are replaced with the correct word...

is there a possibility to have words added when adding them during texting? or do you have to always use a texteditor?
