[SOLVED] B&B V4 Pocket CM as Default

[soololi]

Hi,
i installed B&B V4 today and it´s really great! Thanks to tom for this awesome work. Come over to germany and you´ll get some beer ;)

macguffin provided me with the solution:

You can make contact manager work from any contact button (cube, soft keys, phone, anywhere that was previously the default app) by changing the following reg
HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS

0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"

OLD POST:

There is just one thing I`m wondering. Pocket CM is a nice app but it´s not fully implemented to the system.

I´m looking for some Tricks or Infos how to use Pocket CM in all situations. I managed to change the contact button from the Today Screen to start it.

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3\Default = Contacts

* HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3\Open = "\Windows\pocketcm.exe"

Now i´m looking for the telephone and the settings for the touchflo cube.
Can somebody help me/us out?

You can make contact manager work from any contact button (cube, soft keys, phone, anywhere that was previously the default app) by changing the following reg

Wow thats a fast replay!
If you are in the contact side of the cube and press the button for the contacts its allways opens the built in contact list, not Pocket CM.

Take a look in at the first picture, i mean the third button from the left in the lowest row.

And in the second picture i would like to change the contacts button in the lower left corner.

It does work for those 2 scenario's, but when pressing the picture of a Contact in TouchFLO, it still display's the old Contact Manager

THink that's because the 'contact' buttons are all taking you to the contact list but the photos and going one level down and taking you to the contact information.

Don't think you'll be able to change this.

PS like your avatar ;)

does anyone know how to add pocketcm.exe to the "exclusive" list of x-button? if i understand that correctly, programs in that list are not closed (just hidden) when pressing x-button. but how can i add an item to that list?

EDIT: ok, i found it. for those who dont know:
- run the tool you want in exclusive list
- settings/system/x-button
- select "running" tab
- tab the program you want. it needs a short tab (that was my problem. never tried short tab, always long tab *sigh*)
- choose "Add Exclusive"

I modify this with Resco but can you help me, i want to return with the original contact application

My current settings :

HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS

0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"

[Jack3770]

When I go into biotouch setting, I can only modify the 6 programs + media!
But I can't change the settings for the contacts.
I want my default contact list to open when I press contacts on the normal screen and my Pocket CM list when I press it in the cube.
Is this possible? How?

[Jimmytherat]

It seems that after doing the registry change to have pocketcm.exe as the defaut contact list, when you try to make a picture to associate it to a contact, the camera device won't initialize and the artemis bugs and starts running really slowly. Does anyone has the same problem ?

So, I thought I would come back to the original registry so I'd like the same information than Jack. What is originally instead of the red line in the registry ? (I changed it like previously mentioned to get pocketcm.exe as the defaut contact list but I can't remember what was written here before)

HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - MSCONTACTS

0 CONTACTS
1 "\windows\pocketcm.exe"

Thx for your help and once again great job Tom!

[soardiac]

the camera bug is in the original rom (i mean original B&B4 by tom). there is a thread already for this. no solution so far, but tom is looking into it.

edit: btw, i think the correct registry entry is

0 CONTACTS
1 :MSPOUTLOOK contacts

you can see how it's done in other registry keys like HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\rai - :MSCALENDAR

[Jimmytherat]

oh, I thought the camera bug previously mentioned was that you couldn't see the pictures after a picture was taken from the contact tab.So to me,even with the camera bug, you still can take a picture.
Mine is different : when i hit the litte camera icon in the 'associate a picture to your contact' menu, the camera won't open and the whole pda bugs. WHen I manage to close all applications in memory, afterwards it is impossible to open the camera from any menu, not even with the dedicated button on the side of the pda. The camera just won't initialize.

anyway, thx for the registry trick soardiac !

i have the same thing after freshly flashing B&B4. it was also this way in v4 beta. i guess camera application is just messed up. there are other things like GPS phoe or panorama photo that also dont work.

setting pocket cm as default changed nothing at all in my camera app. i am sorry if it did for you :eek:

oh, btw, this is the way i save pictures to contacts (even with all the bugs):
- make picture using "photo" mode and "M-resolution"
- after picture is made, click the preview button (magnifying glass symbol or whatever it should be)
- picture opens in preview. now click menu->save->save to contact
- done

works for me.
