Wesome dude Keep the tips coming pls

Forgive my lack of basic knowledge but how do you edit the registry on the wm phone?

aha never mind, I figured it out, you need to get a registry editor and install it.

Very useful topic.

Nice, thank you!
Why do they keep them hidden like that??

nice but what does it do
What does Video Share mode do? Seems like a 4:3 video capture mode.
What I would like to see is a way to capture bigger vids with better quality, even if it meant much bigger file sizes... because i can just pull them off and encode them on pc...
Ideas?
Also whats GPS photo...

Using a similar method are we able to change to landscape in pocket word. I don't know if I have missed something but landscape word is an absolute must for me as it reduces scrolling etc.
If you can help I would appreciate it.

I'm having a small problem with the screen responses on my phone. I just went into the registry and made some changes to enable clear type in Landscape mode....and well...for some reason now....the 'ok' or 'x' tht appears on the top right hand side of the screen in landscape (right handed landscape mode) is unresponsive. It wont acknowledge any taps with the stylus or finger. I tried a soft reset and nothing. So now my phone is stuck in landscape mode...and it wont budge. Any ideas?

Sim reappear?

After that change, you off course need to reset to take effect. Once done, it would stay the way you want it.
Cheers.

I logged into the Windows live (MSN) program that comes with the phone as standard.
When logged out, i looked in my contacts phonebook and all my Windows live contacts were there! And when i took them away and logged into Windows live again, they were gone, probably for taking them away from the contacts phonebook in the phone..
Very irritating!
Now, is there some setting so i can make them not to show in the contacts phonebook?
I mean, as you can do with the SIM contacts?

[REQ] People Tab Alternative

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.

[SKIN] WAD2 - Blackberry Bold 2.0 QVGA

For those new to this theme, the whole purpose (besides making a theme to look like AT&T's Blackberry Bold) was to do a theme that required ZERO swiping. Everything is accessible through simple pressing. By doing this, I have made (for me anyway) the most practical UI I can dream up. Getting to what you might need is very fast.
Problems:
1. This theme was designed for how I personally use my phone and I am sharing it with you. I mention that because it will explain why, in my rush to get it out there, I forgot to remap buttons to the generic programs like contacts and texting. Also, the programs pages are still linked to the programs I use. I apologize for that.
2. The weather icon in Portrait mode that appears on the dock with your calendar doesn't always appear correctly. Not sure why. You can still press the area to get to the forecast page. Everything appears correctly there.
Installation:
1. Unzip the file. You will see three folders.
2. Bold and Bold P belong in your WAD2 themes folder on your device.
3. There is a folder called "Themes". This has all of the images, including alternate backgrounds and the weather icons you see in the pictures, and it belongs in the root directory of your storage card.
Instructions for Use:
Portrait:
1. Everything is pretty obvious. You should know that the Calendar icon opens a dock containing 1 day of appointments and a weather icon with current temperature. Pressing the appointment will open a Calendar page. Pressing the Weather Icon or the Temperature will open a Weather page.
2. The Wifi icon in the upper right corner will toggle your Wifi on/off. If your Wifi is on, green lights will appear underneath.
Landcsape:
1. There's room for more icons so the instructions for Portrait do not apply.
Enjoy. If you enjoy this theme, please feel free to donate to someone who doesn't rip off every icon, wallpaper, etc. from someone else.

Here's a few more pics.

Excellent
Great job. Thank You. I think I will give WAD2 another try.

holy ****!
great job bro!
kinda makes me wish i had my Tilt back..just to show this off

Sorry. No VGA. Someone tried to direct me to an emulator where I could do one, but I couldn't even get the thing going.

great job oscarbum thks

need suggestion
hy,great theme there.
i'm a newbie and also working on a new theme my self.
but if you can help me,it seems i can't display an activesync status icon (using a full screen theme).
any suggestion?

That's something you might want to take up with Chris on the Lakeridge forum, since Active Sync is not one of your choices for a status icon.
On another note, I've been using this theme and it's previous incarnations for over a month. Would you believe tonight was the first time I needed to silence my phone? Needless to say, I couldn't through the theme and an update will be coming soon.

nevermind my bad

Simply push the "x" button to get rid of the program that's there. Then click the empty box and assign it whatever you wish. Same concept as the M2D programs page.

Ah. No problem.
Go to Start Menu->Programs->Wisbar Advance Desktop->Author Menu. This will bring up the Author Menu on the main screen.
Click on Author Mode.
Now, press and hold on the icon you wish to change. A menu will pop up. Click on Properties.
Click on Edit Script.
Highlight Launch a Program, then press Edit.
Click on the ... button.
Choose the program you wish to use and hit Ok.
Press Done.
Press Done.
Press Done.
In an area of the screen with no buttons, press and hold until the Author Menu pops up again. Press Author Mode to turn it off. Very important since many a theme has gotten screwed up by forgetting this step.
And enjoy.

Great theme.
Is there any way to make the WiFi button a litte bigger so it is more finger friendly?
Also, any chance of adding a finger-friendly bluetooth icon on the left side of the clock (opposite WiFi icon)?
Thanks
EDIT: Nevermind. I just installed the redux version. excellent theme.

Guys please help me out.
I am thinking of buying a new Blackberry bold and need some solid skin cover on it, So could anyone here please suggest me some websites providing blackberry bold skin covers?

remove or disable contact photo's?

Hello,
Does anyone know how to remove the contact photo's at the contact tab (not the shortcut ones)

Yes mate.
Go to Start, People, select a contact, and then select "Edit Contact". You can then click the contact image to bring up a list of options. One of them is Remove.
Hope this helps

Ah ok
But then you will still see the "silhouette" picture. i'd like to see only the names no form of a picture at all. is't there a tweak for it?

Change the Sense Wallpaper Background Folder

hi guys. this is one thiing am not able to find a solution for a long time. many must have been aware of the HTC Album showing duplicate images when seen in Camera Shots listing. its easy to change the favourite folder for that.
But in my sense 1922, when i press menu in home tab, go to home wallpaper/weather wallpaper, it always open the album in Camera Shots view thus showing 2 similar thumbs for each image. how do i change the location of this to something else.
i could find the reg to change the folder location for animated wallpapers but i could not find it for the weather wallpapers.
if any1 has a solution to this then do help me a favour.
thanx

I'm guessing that you do know you can navigate to other folders by clicking on "Albums", when viewing thumbnails. Again, I'm guessing here, but you actually want to change the default folder?
If I'm right, then I don't know if there's a way to change the default folder. If I'm wrong, I may have answered your question

I've not seen an answer to that question on here, and it has been asked before. I guess not enough people are bothered and therefore not much investigation has been done.
