Hi folks!

Sorry if this has been covered elsewhere but my search results showed nothing so i had to ask as this is driving my mad.

When i hit START on my WM6 handset, as you will all have, i have a list of previously used programms.

Well with installing Slither's Cube (awesome by the way and more to come soon i'm told... see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336234), i've been back and for the testing icon links so my screen after hitting START is 'more' than full, it's at bursting point :eek:

So my question is this.

Is there any way you can reset it back to scratch / basic?

There MUST be... isn't there??? :confused:

Message back soon before i end up crying :(

Steve :D

No worries mate. One more thing. This is another one that is winding me up something rotten.

Example... on a Nokia, you can choose the view you wish to have in your contacts list by going into options etc etc and selecting either... SIM ONLY, SIM AND PHONE MEMORY or just PHONE MEMORY.

Obviously the PHONE MEMORY on a WM5 or 6 would be OUTLOOK so... how do you display OUTLOOK ONLY???

Am i making sense here?! :confused: lol

If i can't get the answer to this in the next day or so then i'll have to New Thread it cus this one drives me mad to! :p

For hiding SIM contacts, thus displaying only "Outlook" contacts:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Phone\"ShowSIM"=dword:00000000]

I have to put you to the test now!!!

Ok, the XDA Orbit has a built in GPS as does the Kaiser yes.

No, what the Orbit DOES have that the Kaiser doesn't is... yes, you guessed it... an FM Radio.

So... would it be possible to get the FM Radio settings off the Orbit ROM and patch them into the Kaiser ROM?

Anything you can think of or trick you have up your very knowledgeable sleeve at all?

This should test you!!!

THAT I don't know. I am a Trinity and a Touch user and these tweaks remain after soft reset but maybe it's different with Kaiser.

Ok. Got confuddled there!

I'll give it a quick go now, hit softy and see what happens. BRB!

Steve :D

P.S. Did you take a look at my question about the FM Radio at all?

unless the kaiser magically gets a am/fm radio, no
but if you have an unlimited data plan and/or wifi in the area just stream it!

Clear Temp you say? Now that's a 'sound safe' suggestion. Could i ask you for a step by step for that if possible please dude?

Thanks, Steve :D

Sadly not. On the 3 network, maybe that would be possible but not on my Orange plan!

Ok so the CAB for the Outlook works lovely. Thanks for that. Awesome job :D

Just trying this Clear Temp for the START button question i asked. What was your suggestion to that one again please dude? Sorry about this, i haven't been to bed in over 28 hours and i'm starting to fade badly :(
