Thumbcal as Default Calander

Och · #1 (**permalink**) 07-22-2008, 11:10 AM

I've searched a whole bunch of threads, but I couldn't find an answer. I was wondering if anyone knows how to change the default calendar on the HTC Touch to Thumbcal? I don't want is as a soft key, but the today plugin, so that when I press the calendar I go straight to Thumbcal and not the generic one that came with the phone. Thanks in advance.

I've been wondering the same thing as well. I prefer it's simple and easy layout.

Have you tried looking in the registry tweaks forum here? Someone has probably already figured it out. Sorry I couldn't be of more help...

Yeah I tried searching there, but couldn't find an answer, so I figured I'd post it in the Vogue forum.

You can set it to be the default calculator in the registry. Set

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCALENDAR\1 to
"\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe"

or wherever you have it installed. There's also an entry for :MSTASKS, if you use want it to be your default task program. Leave the quotes around the path.

i'm still a noob at the registry thing

once im in the mscalendar I click on 1 and then put in:

"\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe" (or personalize it to where i put it in my phone) in the "value data"?

i did that and it's not working.
