probably bit late for this suggestion now, but once you have the system tweaked as you wanted, it's good to make full backup of that "canonical" version (SPB Backup, Sprite, Resco),
as to the conatcts - try running the attached link from your SD Card, it's a copy of the original "HTC Contacts" link from my device, as you can check in any notepad it runs the command "\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe people/browserlayer/peopleAll" --- if it works on your device, then just copy it anywhere inside \Windows\Start Menu and use it on the homescreen
that worked, thx
on my PC im making daily ghost images oc C:\... somehow i forgot to do similar things on my phone
ok, its not that great as i thought.
shortcut is disappearing by itself shortly after copying it into widnows\start menu and im back to where i begin. so i know that htc people app is there, bbut my hd2 doesn't like the shortcut

check if the value under following registry key
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"IsShortcutEnable"
should be 1, if set to 0, the HTC apps shortcuts are removed from start menu (more here)
if this does not help try renaming the shortcut and placing it in any folder other than it normally is in,
as a last resort - assuming you use Manila interface - you can assign the contacts to chosen button directly via registry (unable to provide reference now, will try to find it later if none of the above helps)

Hi All,
I installed pocket informant and accidentally set it as "default contact manager". After restoring it to the default contact manager, I no longer have the HTC contact alphabet bar on the right. I believe it's also called "HTC random access".
I'm assuming the registry or the shortcut got all screwed up by pocket informant. Does anyone know how to restore this?
Thanks,

Isn't Working
Hi, I have a HTC Touch P3452 version and for some reason, I don't have the alphabet scroll for my contact list. I tried installing the Cab.file here and it doesn't seem to work properly. The alphabet bar is showing but it's white and I can't seem to use it.
How do I uninstall the Cab.file and reverse what I've done? I really want the alphabet bar. Can someone please help?
Thanks guys, I'm so confused.

Can someone help? Is it because HTC installed a different rom version on my HTC TOUCH?
Thanks everyone
That version is for Diamond(VGA)
Hello
I am a newcomer to smartphones and WM. Some questions for kind souls out there:
- Since a few days back the message and mail functions on my home screen don't work properly. I can see the first lines of messages and e-mails but I can't go to the inboxes, nor write new messages using the "new message"/"New e-mail" functions on the home screen. Instead I have to go through start menu/messaging and so on. That way it works fine. Does anyone know why this has happened and what I can do about it?
- I notice that many programs don't have an exit option, to close them down. I usually go into task manager to quit them. Is that what you are supposed to do or should you have them running? I don't get it.
- Is there no simple way to navigate between your programs and tasks? If I am using one program and want to use another, I usually go to home screen then start menu then open the other program (which is already running). There must be a simpler way?
- When I am using Google Maps with GPS and leave the program (though keeping it running) it seems the GPS stops its connection - when I enter the program again, it takes some time to get the signal again. This is quite inconvenient. Why is this so, and what can I do about it?
- After I did a backup (pimbackup) and a hard reset, my Quick notes application (included with the phone) was gone - and with it, my notes. Is there a way to retrieve them? If not, can I at least find the app somewhere - or even better - does anyone know a good freeware for making notes and sharing them between phone and PC?
- When I restored my contacts I accidentally chose to include my messenger contacts in my contact list. I really don't want those there but I cannot find any way of deleting only them. Does anyone know?
Thanks!

I think this is to make sure your battery doesn't drain. Don't have a solution, but there are probably tools available that keep your GPS alive.
Thank you for your views. But doesn't anyone have any better or alternative tips? The home screen messaging problem keep coming back and it shouldn't, I don't want to reboot all the time, there must be a reason for it.
Just run this past anyone, see if they have the same problem. I am running Novembre5 latest rom, however this issue was occuring with all of the roms I have tried including the official Toshiba roms.
So I have a disappearing problem with my context menu. It has happened to me after I install some programs. I install Resco Registry Editor, Photo Viewer, Swype 2.0, CE-Star for Japanese Input, bunch of games, get my device just the way I want it.... then I can't select anything. I try to "tap and hold" to bring up the context menu so I can cut and paste in an email or delete something in Resco Explorer, however when I click on a blank part on the screen, the circles will show up and the 1 second animation will commence in which the circles will surround where my stylus has hit the screen and then once the circles go around my stylus clockwise then the context menu will for a very-split-second appear and then disappear. To get the context menu to stay, I need to hold the stylus on screen and then remove the stylus from the screen just before the context menu appears, then the context menu will stay.
Needless to say.. this is really annoying... when I initially hard-reset the device, there are no problems like this, however, after installing my programs, then I have this issue. Is there any quick fix for this problem? Does anyone have an idea what is up? I like the programs that I have installed, I especially need Japanese on my device so I hope it is not CE-Star, is there any advice someone can give to me? I guess the next step is, is to hard reset and install the programs one buy one and test them out for a while and then figure out what program it is that is making the issue appear. However even then.... I need the programs that I install... and damnitt I purchased most of them, hehehe so they have gotta work!

I believe this the best you can try for the moment...
Never encountered something similar...
Wow...
that was retardedly easy yet frustratingly hard. Ok, CE-Star was the culprit. You must do two things. When installing CE-Star one must uncheck the handwriting component when installing the Japanese IME. If you install the handwriting component then the context menu will disappear. Also, second thing, one you register and activate the program then it loads a service at boot called DynaNls.lnk in your \Windows\StartUp folder. This service causes MANY frustrating issues associated with your device including but not limited to automatically rebooting 3 or 4 times during the boot sequence, and then it will work. Basically CE-Star is totally compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5 however you gotta do a couple of tweaks. Wow, this has solved 2 months of issues. Have a good days pplz.

I've only been poking around in this amazing device for two days now, and thanks to these forums and the amazing mods submitted by the developers, I have been able to change all of the icons except one. Even though the Facebook icon is updated under the start menu, I cannot for the life of me get it to change in quicklinks. My reading of the forms has led me to the registry, and yes the startup icon points to the right path. I've noticed (and this may be the crux of the problem) that every time I reboot, sense creates a new start icon_htc_facebook png and qtc file(eventhough I've renamed the origonal file)in the Windows folder. My question is, is there any way to get the new Facebook icon to appear in quicklinks, or am I stuck with the default Facebook icon? Again thanks to the developers for all the cool stuff and advice which is been posted on this website. PS I'm looking forward to a fully working version of android for this device. Keep up the good work guys.

What software did you use to change your icon? Anyway, once you have changed you icon, use this clever software to clean up your icon cache. It will clears your old cache and replaces it with your new replaced icons. The software to use is SICC. Do a search in forum,you will find it.
I used JWMD, hCcomber, and CMSI. Clearing the cache by hand has produced no results. I look for the program you suggested. Thanks for the tip.
SICC didn't work. Clearing the cache doesn't seem to be the problem. For some reason, when the OS is rebooted, a new start icon_htc_Facebook png and qtc file is created in the Windows folder. This occurs even if the old files have been renamed. Previous programs I've used have been: JWMD,hComber, and CMSI. I think the solution to the problem is stopping the creation of the new PNG and QTC files in Windows. I just don't know how to stop them being created on restart.
Have you tried deleting the quicklink in question and recreating it?
PS while it may sound like I know what I'm doing, I assure you I really don't. Two days ago I didn't know what a PNG or QTC file was. This is a testament to the effectiveness of the posts offered on this forum.

Try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829932
it will allow you to create a exe to launch the facebook app with whatever icon you want.
I use a pretty cool windows mobile app called Note2Self - it records a quick thought, then emails it to you so it will be in your inbox. One problem is that if it is set to email right away, the app will pause for a good minute while it connects to your SMTP server and send the email. So, this was a pain if you wanted to make multiple recordings one right after another. The solution is to have the app instead place the email in the "outbox" of activesync. This way the emails are stored right away (without sending them until you dock with your PC).
But, I just found out that if there are any emails in activesync's "outbox" and then I run Clrcd/Haret.exe to launch Android. Then reboot back into Windows mobile - ALL of the email in the AS outbox are gone!
I also discovered that any recently received or sent SMS/Text messages your had before the boot into Android will also me missing when you reboot back into windows mobile.
It seems the CEmail.vol file is "forgetting" these messages when android is run.
Anybody have a fix for this?

Since this issue is only applicable to "SD Development" (and not applicable to "NAND" or "Themes"), that is why I thought this would be the appropriate spot.

I seems that the lost often happens with an emails in Outlook's (ActiveSync's) "Outbox" and any Text messages in the SMS/MMS "inbox". If any messages are in there, then booting into Android using clr/haret then rebooting back into WM6 will loose those messages
Hi,
i experienced the same problem often when i started (SD-)Android from my WinMo stock rom. Later, when i reboot into WinMo i can see, that it losts the last mails and SMS.
I made some tests and my solution is simple: When you want to start Android, shut down your WinMo and start it again and then start Android! (When you press and hold your bottom right On/Off-button, you can shut down the device and then all datas will be saved.)
The problem with the Android-bootloaders (or the using of CLRCAD.exe and HARET.exe) seems to be, that they not regular shutdown WinMo before Android starts. Its only like a Softreset. And then unstored datas get lost.
It's the same way like you want to shut down your Windows-PC. You dont just pull the power plug but you choose "Start / Shutdown" and wait till it finishes to save all datas.
Hope, that helps.
Btw: sorry for my poor english...

Try mskip android loader. I don't have Winmo 6.5 any more (moved to MAGLDR) but from memory mskip has shortcuts you can add to your home screen to either launch Android straight away (it runs CLRCAD and HARET for you), or reboot and launch into Android automatically (which would solve your problem!)
Hope this helps.
aww ****, this happened to me just on sun night! i was wondering wth was going on. i even use the mskip app so what am i doing that somehow made my msgs disappear? damn, i really prefer the 3 sec option. i guess i got to get rid of it and select none.
but i have used that option for a long time now and this is the first time that i have encountered this problem.
