Can't get Contacts button to work!

[sollyd]

I've tried to change the button mapping on the new kitchen and used the correct Voice Command but still can't get the Contacts to open. I know they are there since I can voice dial. There has to be an obvious fix since the Rom cookers like OMJ etc. have made it work but i want to cook my own. Any suggestions? Help???

Having the same problem after cooking my own rom yesterday.

From another forum (pointui):

TO ALTER THE SOFT BUTTON....

Remember that any changes you make to your phone, you are doing at the risk. I cant be held liable if you brick your phone, or mess something up.

ok, first things first, you need to get something like Resco Registry Editor to edit the registry. there are some free ones out there. Go find them if you dont have one already and you dont want to pay. please dont ask me, Google knows all.

once you get a registry editor, navigate to the following path
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mictosoft\Today\Keys\

there will more than likely only be one folder there. it will be fore the left soft key. (folder 112)

the default value for the left soft key is to open your Calendar.

if you open that folder, there are two (2) files in it.
(Default)
Open

the value set for (Default) is Calendar. You can change what the value says to change the text for the soft key

the default value for Open is "\Windows\calendar.exe" (with quotes). You can change the String Value to whatever path of any program you want to open. You will first have to find that program you want to change it to though. :P

Once you change the value, click OK, and save the changes. Do a soft rest on the phone, and voilà, you have changed your left soft key

if you want to change the right soft key, and there is no folder 113 in the Keys folder, then create one. the (Default) file will appear in there automatically. Change the String to What you want the key to say, and then you need to add a new Sting Value and enter the Name and Open, adn the String to something like "\Windows\icontacts.exe. If you decide to change the right soft key back to the regular setting, you cant delete the 113 folder to do so. Instead, change the string to "Windows\AppButtons\contacts.lnk" and make sure to change the text for the soft key in the (Default) file.

Just remember that you need to do a soft reset to make the changes take effect."

Tried and reset too. No Dice, does not work. It's strange because if I download an already cooked ROM, it works. I want to customize my own and everything works on mine except the contacts. It's almost like the contacts.lnk file is corrupted. If anyone can help, it would be appreciated.

[ludester]

dude please stop posting the same question twice...I told you to check stuff I'm 99% sure that the problem is the contact button path is incorrect.

Please look at your other thread about how to fix it.

[sollyd]

Please don't call me "dude" it's disrespectful. Don't you think I've tried your suggestions? Don't you think I've searched these threads for the last 3 days?

I had the same problem with a ROM i cooked up. I simply reflashed the same one again and everything was fine.

Sometimes you get a gremlin.

[sollyd]

Thanks, I've tried that multiple times. It seems as thought the contacts.lnk won't open when called out. Funny thing is I can access through voice dial or setting a speed dial, just not through the button. Even tried re-downloading the kitchen files, no luck.

Post your selections.txt please.


Also if you could check the registry entry...

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"2"=":MSPOUTLOOK contacts"

and tell me what that's set as.
