I've got a couple of Qs...

Can't believe we've finally got a decent version of Android running on the TP2, but I'd like to know a few things...

*Import pim.vol
How do I import/convert my WM contacts (pim.vol) to Android, and what & where is the Android contacts file?

*Auto adjust Backlight and Screen Dim timeouts with Mortscript
I'd made a script to disable auto adjustment and screen-dimming timeouts via
Code:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "ACTimeout", 0)
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "ACTimeoutUnchecked", "0000003c")
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "BatteryTimeout", 0)
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "BatteryTimeoutUnchecked", "0000001e")
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "LightDetectOn", 0)
Run("\Storage Card\haret.exe")
Exit
which works flawlessly. However, to re-enable auto adjustment and screen-dimming timeouts upon StartUp via
Code:
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "LightDetectOn", 1)
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "ACTimeout", "0000003c")
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "ACTimeoutUnchecked", 0)
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "BatteryTimeout", "0000001e")
RegWriteDWord( "HKCU", "\ControlPanel\BackLight", "BatteryTimeoutUnchecked", 0)
Exit
all is restored except for the BatteryPower screen dimming timeout of :30. It always returns at :10. Any ideas?

Hey Kain,

If you sync with Outlook you can export your contacts to csv then import them into a gmail account. I did it on a regular browser. After that, log in to gmail on your new android phone and your contacts are sucked right up or sync'd right up.
That's what I did and it worked flawlessly.

Cheers,

Bill

Or just setup Google Sync on WiMo:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile...36&topic=14299

This will sync your contacts/calendar to your Gmail account. This way you won't have to worry about keeping it synced between Android<->WiMo, since they'll both sync with Google.

Thanks, a lot. I was always a tad apprehensive about syncing with my GMail account 'cause I'd thought that, since my GMail account had 0 contacts, all of my contacts on the tele would be erased upon initial sync. Anyway, worked like a charm. Can this be done with Windows Live, as well?

Android with Shortcut

This cab only creates a shortcut in start menu to haret located in root of storage card, for those with android already on storage card.
Android Shortcut Only
Nice work Bike!
