Hello,

How do I make CmContacts and the default? It used be default afer installation, but after new sprint ROM, it does not do that...

Any guess on how I could do it?

Thanks!

I have not done it but I believe if you use a program like total commander and go into the windows directory, find the file name of the stock contact manager, rename it to something so you will know what it is (i.e. original contacts.exe, new contactsdefault.exe), then rename pocktetcm to the original name of the stock contact manager (i.e. pocket cm original pcm.exe, new contacts.exe.)

I think it will work as long as you type the correct names but am not positive.

You can't rename these files with file explorer and have to have a 3rd party app.

Let me know if it works (just to satisfy my curiosity.)

have you done a soft reset ... i installed new rom and then re installed pocket cm and worked after i did a soft reset.... before reset it would only work when i when i went into programs..

I have probably done some 30 soft resets... but it continues to load default contacts...
I have even tried reinstalling the application, but so far... no luck...

That is my second flash... first one was with original and second with the kitchen...

Try what I said. I am pretty sure you will be pleased with the results. This is how I set cm calendar as my default calendar.

to make pocket cm default contact program use you favorite registry editor and under hklm/software/microsoft/shell/rai/:mscontacts and change it to the path where pocketcm.exe is stored
