Suggestions for Ricky's ROM CPhotoDialer improving...

[sergiopi]

1) To edit the contact link Total Commander isn't needed. Use resco explorer, Action, Open Widh, Notepad. Edit, then Save and exit Notepad

2)I've mapped the right key to SEND SMS to the contact
I've copied and renamed, using Activesync, all Dial_Contact**m.lnk located in \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\ as SMS_Contact**m.lnk (** stands for contact's phone number)

I've opened and modified the shortcut as 44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+xx-xxx-xxxx" (XXXX stands for the contact's phone number )

3) Using OLDSAP Favorites is easy to rename in CPhotoDial panel, SK2TEXT as Send SMS and the SK2URL to \Storage Card\Program Files\Excalibur Photo Dialer\SMS_Contact**m.lnk

DONE

The best way to test if the SMS_Contact**m.lnk works is to launch it from resco explorer. If it doesn't work may be you made a TYPO in the shortcut (forgotten " or UPPER/lowercase problem, double space or no space)

The Correct debugging is done opening the SMS_Contact1m.lnk:
1) LEAVE ONLY
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe"
SAVE AND LAUNCH, are you in the messaging application? YES

2) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS"
SAVE AND LAUNCH,are you in the SMS inbox? YES

3) open again and write
44#"\Windows\Tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "+1111"
SAVE AN LAUNCH, are you trying to send an SMS to 1111? YES

END

If any NO double check and repeat :)

i cant get this to work for nothing. lol maybe im missing something. i know ricky put it in his new rom but i just flashed maybe a few hours before he put it out.

so you just synced to your pc, copied over the Dial_contact**m.ink renamed it, edited it (on pc or phone?) then ran it to see if it worked?

[skaroger867]

nevermind i figured it out.

i had to move the # symbol from #44 to 44# to get it to work

Sorry, it was MY TYPO in the message! :) !

First.. I have to say .. Tx so much for all.. Ricky, Kavana.. and all others..

I have a suggestion, Ricky why u dont do like Kavana´s did with the keymap ?
There´s a problem when u try, using other keymap language, like portuguese, the problem is with the xt9 why u dont use et9 ?

Maybe Im talking a lot of bullshits, but I saw that u are using XT9 and when I change the language nothing happen,

could u check that ?

Tx bro!

Thanks for the break down, missed a space. Works great!!

It's very bad to see that people are using software that I developed for the Shadow: Photo Dialer, CHome Menu, etc... using all the icons that I moded with Photshop, even the same URL for Action Keys... and nobody gives credit for it.

I don't mind sharing software with people (that is why I put together a site for it) but some credit would be appreciated.

Everytime I use an idea from someone (e.g. Dialer using vjay dialer, cyberbuddha's interface tweaks) at least I mention that people in the description of the software.

What is this CPhotoDialer and does anyone have a screenshot?

It's not "bad" to see people using it. It's not like you own the software. You just discovered how to tweak Microsoft's software. It IS bad that we're not giving credit where credit is due. But then again, this is a different forum, a different phone, etc.... Credit would be nice, but you don't have to whine about it :) I've created a few cabs myself with settings for people and not always credit for it. But then again, it's okay... because it's not my software :)

[freyes01]

I was mad at it and wanted to express my frustration....

it's ok no hard feelings.... :)

Screenshots anywhere? or did I miss something that's right in front of me?

[Profezza]

Freddy, here's some credit for you: Thanks a bunch! I'm using the hell out of my phone now, and quickly doing almost all the things I hoped I would with a Smartphone, and your tools are a really nice part of it.

I hope that our tinkering helps you in kind, and that you all get your own Shadow forum on XDA soon, so we can share more.

[modchipper]

Ricky has given credit now if you check his first post for his rom. Thanks to all for making my Dash new again!
