Hide SIM contacts on Touch Plus

[NinjaDonkey]

Hi all,

My other half bought a Touch Plus yesterday and I've been adding software to it to make all that much better.

The contacts are stored on the SIM and I've copied them all into Pocket Outlook. I then made the reg tweak to hide the SIM contacts which worked immediately, hiding all the SIM contacts. However, when I soft reset the device (via software or holding down the power button and then re-powering on) the registry value goes back to what it was - showing the SIM contacts!

Is there any way that reg value can be kept to 0?


Cheers

ND

Hi

I have the exact same problem and asked this question previously here, never got a answer :(

The first thing after a reboot is to hide my SIM contacts... If anyone have a solution it would be very nice.

Kind Regards

I have found a solution...

Download dotfred's excellent TaskManager/Registry Editor from: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm

Copy the exe to wherever you want on your device,

Use the registry editor in there to set the ShowSIM value to 0.
Export that registry value... to \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg (for example)

Create a shortcut to the task manager exe in Windows\StartUp.

Edit the properties of that shortcut (I use Resco Explorer) and set the Target as follows:

"<path to task manager>" \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg /silent

Make sure you have "'s around the Task Manager path BUT NOT around the path for the reg file.

Reboot...

Bob's your uncle.

I had the same issue with my previous Orange UK stock ROM, don’t know why the registry tweak does NOT stick after SR on certain ROM’s :-/ so in the end I resorted to installing the attached cab which fixed the issue:)

On my current HTCAsia WEE ROM the registry tweak works:) so no need for the cab fix! Anyway for those with ROM where the registry tweak does NOT work, you can use the fix mentioned here by NinjaDonkey or install the attached cab and soft reset, that should do the trick;)
