Hi, i'm from Spain (I don't speak english very well) and i've got a problem with my Imate Jam. After a Hard Reset, Smart dialing and other aplications didnt install. Then i tried to install Smart Dialing with a .cab file but i get the following error: The file \windows\iacontacts.dll are used or in ROM.
I tried to install it at the begining, but i get the same error.
can anybody help me please?
Thank you
nobody? I need to do a hard reset?
thanks
Hi, the messega that "\windows\iacontacts.dll is in use" indicates that the program is already installed and running. If not you can try the following:
- download memmaid (http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=14279)
- install it, it offers control of autostart programs and services
- find and disable the entry that corresponds too iacontacts.dll
- soft reset and install
Or you can do (prolly easier):
- use a file manager to go into the windows dir and find that iacontacts.dll (prolly hidden so use something like Resco Explorer to see hidden files)
- you wont be able to delete it and you should not do it anyway
- but you can rename it to something like iacontactsold.dll
- softreset and install the cab file, it will not bother you now because the dll has not been loaded because it has not been found (you renamed it)
- you can then go into the win dir and should find your renamed dll as well as a new iacontacts.dll, delete your renamed one now
By the way: May I ask what Smart Dialling does anyway? I've not figured that out yet. Its installed on my S110 and I have options for that in the phone tool but no idea what it actually does or how it behaves when it is not installed.
Thank u very much! I followed the second way and i get it
With Smart Dialing for example: To call "Churri" (my girlfriend) you can write 248774 instead of 222-44-88-777-777-444. To find a number for example 99565856, you write 995 and Smart dialing find it automatically.
Thank you very much
Ah ok so you can use fragments of numbers until the right ones are picked out. Pretty neat. I'm happy it worked for you.
Description: PPCContactsMgr is a plugin for the Outlook contacts. It allows to select multiple contacts at once for deletion. Now it allows also to add phone numbers from calls history and received SMS. And recently, beam several contacts and add several contacts to SIM.
Version 1.6
A lot of people asked me if it was possible to beam several contacts at once or add several contacts to the SIM card at once and voila... It's possible now.
- Add Selected contacts to SIM
- Beam Selected contacts
Version 1.5
- added # and * in valid characters (requested by Bigix)
- application is translatable
Bigix wanted this tool to be translated in italian. So we worked together in order to have the tool translated.
Now everybody can have this tool in its own language thanks to mui resource dlls.
Here in attachment is the french version available.(Bigix will probably provide the italian version)
Both files (PPCContactsMgr.dll and PPCContactsMgr.dll.[LCID].mui) should be put in the \Windows directory.
The mui resource dll is just a resource dll containing all the strings used in the application.
Just use a resource editor (http://www.btinternet.com/~wilsoncpw/xn_resourceeditor_setup.exe) and translate the strings in your language. (See attached text file)
The number in hexadecimal in the mui resource dll filename is the default language id used on the pda.
for italia it is:410
for france it is: 40C
All LCIDs can be found here : http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/win2k/setup/lcid.mspx
If no mui is provided, the default resource strings from PPCContactsMgr.dll are used. (So English)
Version 1.4
Shows calls where the sender or number field is empty.
Version 1.3
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu and to the contact summary menu. (requested by lvlx)
- Add Phone From Calls History
- Add Phone From SMS
When you receive a phone call, or an SMS, you probably want to store the sender to the contacts, this is already possible. But often the contact already exists and you want to add a new number. This is what these new functions do.
Version 1.0 -> 1.2:
2 menus items have been added to the standard menu.
- Select All Contacts
- Delete Selected Contacts
If you select multiple contacts with the stylus, you will be capable of deleting them.
Cheers
ps.: the cab file should be copied on the ppc and installed from there. The PPCContactsMgr.dll (plugin) is installed in the windows directory (/Windows)
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: cab file is in zip file, also reg file and dll (if you don't want to use the cab file). Some screenshots can be found in the zip as well.
pps.: if PPCContactsMgr is already installed, in order to upgrade it, poutlook.exe shouldn't run.
If I don't use the CAB File how do I uninstall this?

What do you mean outlook.exe must not run how do I turn it off?
u are the man,thanks, and thank you for leting me use your taskmanager in my rom. you are a star. this is dedication.

1) Just use my Task Manager, select the processes tab, look for poutlook.exe, select it and click on terminate. If the process can't be closed, it will be killed.
2) In order to uninstall the plugin
a) "terminate" poutlook.exe
b) delete the PPCContactsMgr.dll located in \Windows
c) in the zip file, there is the reg file for the plugin, so use a reg editor, to remove the keys found in that file.
Cheers,
.Fred
Great Stuff DotFred!
I use your Taskmanager v2.3 and ContactsManager v1.2 in my Roms, I will update my Roms with this new version of this little app, it's great!
If I want to upgrade it wihout using the CAB, I only need to replace the .dll file and add the new Registry settings to my Rom? Is this correct?
Thanks a lot,
Molski

Hi Molski,
Glad to hear (read) that!
Yes indeed, because there are new entries in the registry.

very good idea, it was selly to add the contact as unknown contact then copy the no to the original contact then delete the unkonw caller, thanks i am trying and i will feed you back.
Dear Dotfred
i have tried to add a phone no from call history but it displayes only the no's already saved with my contacts. Also i have tried to add a no. from sms i sent not one i received but it is only displayes the sms's i recieved.

Thanks for the info dotFred will try this one out... it seems worth just to be able to select multiple contacts.
Nice program! The SMS part isn't compatible with the Palm Messaging Program, am I correct?

I don't know, I use CEMAPI to access SMS, so I really don't know what Palm uses, but if CEMAPI is also used under Palm, it should work.

You're right, if one of the fields sender or number is empty, I don't show the call, it will be fixed in next release.
For SMS, only the SMS in the Inbox folder are shown.

Bug fixed?
Frederic - I have had a bug with PPCContactsMgr and I was wondering if it was fixed in this new version. To reproduce the bug, go to Contacts, filter to a contact using the letters on the top of the screen. Now if I choose that contact using the middle select hardware button, or by pushing my Talk hardware button, it actually chooses the first contact in my list. Now if I filter again, it works fine. It's only the first time that it does this. The other related bug is if I hold down on the pad and let it scroll through the letters. When it gets to the letter I want, and I select the contact, it actually selects a different contact.
Does this new version fix this bug? I would test it, but I'm running Molski's AKU 2.3 ROM and I'm not sure if I can update it since the PPCContactsMgr.dll is integrated into the ROM.
Thanks...Brian

Hi Brian,
I don't think this is to do with PPCContactsMgr, the only thing it does is subclassing the outlook window in order to change the style of the contacts listview. I don't do anything else. I tried to reproduce your problem but I can't. I'm running AKU 3.2 (see my signature).
There is something you can try to be sure. Just use this tool to unregister the dll. Do a soft reset and check if you still have problems with the contacts.
Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll (to unregister)
cheers,
.Fred
ps.: if you want to upgrade to new version
1) Regsvrce /u ppccontactsmgr.dll
2) soft reset
3) install new cab
Everything works once I disable PPCContactsMgr. I didn't unregister the DLL, but I did remove all the registery entries related to it. This has happened to me with AKU 2.0, 2.2, 2.3, and Faria's 3.2RC1. Removing the reg entries has fixed it everytime for me.
Could it be something in my pim.vol that is messing it up? I could send it to you for testing it you want.

All right, the best thing to do is to ask Faria, if he has the same problems.
I'm really sorry, because I tried several times, exactly what you did, and not a single problem.
I'm sure it is nothing to do with pim.vol, it's just a database. The problem relies in poutlook.exe
Cheers,
.Fred
Great little program, but only works for default contact program. Usinf PI and it does not seem to work. Please help.
Kimba58
You are right, it must be a bug in the contacts app because I just had it happen to me again. I guess I can reinstall PPCContactsMgr! Sorry for the troubles.

Hello all. I am going to update my ROM, but have a quick question. My work email and calendar sync to my Mogul. Originally my works IT department had to install a certificate so I could sync. When I install the new ROM, I am betting this certificate will go away.
Is there anyway to backup the Certificates so I can reinstall them myself? I am not supposed to be on the exchange server per some stupid/outdated company policy but had a friend put me in there. I would like to not have to go back to IT as I don’t want to get anyone in trouble.
Thanks for the help.
I've exported HKCU\Comm\Security\SystemCertificates\.... into a cabfile and use this one after every new rom i'm flashing
and it's working very well.
If you export into reg-file and edit this file with an hex-editor you'll find your exchange certificate for sure. and under HKCU\Software\microsoft\ActiveSync you can find your Exchange settings (servername etc). after flashing a new rom the only thing i have to do is to enter my password and that's it....if you're unsure, you could try to import into an wince emulator and test if it's working the way you want....

Problem with Exchange

you could use dotfred's taskmanager for example (for PPC) or CERegeditor (for Windows Desktop) to export or import the registryentries.
Both tools are for free. Another solution could be SASHIMI which can also import registry files. Or you could create your own Mortscript, both are also for free.
if your ROM is supporting UC there is also a section for exchange (somewhere in the thread)
If you want to create a cab, WinCECabManager is easy, but not free.

HI Peter,
I tried exporting those reg keys out and after flashing my rom I managed to reimport them.
When I checked the certificates in Settings, they seem to be there. Checked Activesync settings, it is also there, however, when tried to sync, got this error
"The Microsoft Exchange Server requires a personal certificate to log on. Please obtain a certificate as directed by your corporation or service provider"
There was no option to key in password.
I had to re-enroll for a certificate going through my PC's WMDevice Center before able to sync with my Exchange server again.
So ... wonder whether I am still missing something that prevents me from restoring the certificates completely. Are there any physical certificate files that I need to back up as well ?
cheers

Bumpdibump, the same with me - although this is regarding a transfer from Rose to Polaris - this is the best post I have found so far...
Any luck on some specific files we need to copy in addition to the registry?
so i assume that the .cer used for the exchange server is no longer on the phone?

I don't quite remember what happened, but for my part - not sure if the cer file was there, but it didn't help much anyway since whatever cer file I tried to validate with didn't work. I am looking into a different thread using rapiconfig to get the details from my phone, but I guess it ain't enough to only get the info from registry to get the darn thing to work.
Stuck...
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359152
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
AWESOME...thanks, I have a locked rogers HTC Touch and have tried many different Reg tweaks that would not stick to hide the SIMs in my Contacts, but the NIKI Sim fix above finally got it. Thanks, thank you, thanx again.

hello !!
Thank you very much for this soft
Thanks guys for the wonderful solution.. I was going bonkers having to delete and add in all my contacts everytime I factory set my Niki. Cheers..

Hi. Hope somebody could help me.
I updated my FB application (which was one of the quick links my home page). As I installed the new version of FB the icon on the quick links dissapperaed. i tried to add it again on the empy quick link space but it couldnt. I thought this was a problem with the newly added FB application, so i tried to add any other program or contact to that empty quick link but is never saves it. each time i try to press on the empty link (with the + sign) it takes me to the selection menu (programs/contacs/bookmarks). when i select any of the programs or contacts or bookmarks i go back to the home screen and the quick link is still empty.
Appreciate if somebody can assist me. I searched the forum but couldnt find an answer.
Thanks a lot

Had the same exact problem when I updated the Facebook app (ver 1.5)..I called T-Mobile support and they suggested soft reset (didn't work); spport person never heard of that problem, so it definately may be the FB update that caused problem.
Anyways, only solution was factory reset.....
so once that was done, I reinstalled FB (with update), and the quick links was working normally; then put everything back on phone via Sync, etc.
OOOps I am sorry you had to reset your HD2 I managed to solve the problem few hours ago.
I used the registry editor, and went to hklm/software/HTC/Manila/home (where the quick links are registered). There should be 9 folders numbered from 0 to 8. if any folder is missing this means one of the quick links will not work. So when you realize which folder is missing (from 0 to 8) you create a new folder and name it as the missing number. Then you copy the content of any of the other 8 folder and paste them into the new added folder. exit the registry editor and restart your device. the missing quick link will be working again.
I know what I wrote above is already late for you but hopefully it will be benificial for anybody who mght face the same problem.
