Some more tips.

To make right soft key on Home screen dynamic- example when get new SMS will change to Message-Miss call receive will change to call history
Delete this reg key at
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home
DisableMRE = 1 <delete>

Change cleartype of IE
HKLM/software/microsoft/windows/currentversion/Internet Setting
ClearTypeText = 1

These are good tips.

The dynamic right soft key tip is great, thanks. Makes you wonder why this is disabled by default. I found this also works if you change the value from 1 to 0 instead of deleting the key.

Hey kdar
If you know how to edit XML code for your homescreen. I am aware of making it just one click away where you click on the SMS button and it takes you to your inbox if you dont want to use sms bubbles which seems cooler than this.

I think he was asking if theres a quicker way to compose a new text message instead of having to go through several dialog boxes.

I would like to know this as well, if we can program a shortcut key or something, cause currently its really tedious and takes forever just to write a new text.

Can you just configure wm5 new menu (freeware) for the blackjack II ?

I have been using it with my wizard to great effect to send a text very quickly to people. You can even configure it to have a shortcut send text to a specific person.

My advice would be to configure the right soft button on the start page to a menu button with this utility and have the menu include an "sms to joe bloggs" - that way you should be sending that text pretty darned quickly

Here is the web page

An update to my post and suggstion for what you can do.

First, download and install the wm5 new menu beta version for smartphone from here:

http://www.saman-cz.com/ppc/WM5NewMenuSP.CAB

2. Download Right Tweaker from here:

http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/get-right-tweaker.html

What these two programs together do is let you replace the right soft key on your phone with a new menu key that activates a new menu as soon as you hit that key. Items that can be included in the new menu are an "sms to x" ie an sms to your favourite contact.

Remember to follow the instructions with right tweaker and note where the executable is for the installed WM5New Menu (\Program Files\saman\WM5NewMenu\WM5NewMenu.exe) to ensure this works

NB Both programs are freeware

I know I probably should have done a search first but ohwell if it is a repost then so be it, i couldnt find this info anywhere else and had to find it out on my own so i figured id share.

First of all this is to set your default custom ringtones directory to your storage card instead of your device.

I used CeRegistry Editor to do this. (just do a google search or click here)

Once you have found and installed CeRegistry (on your PC) follow these steps:

1: Connect Blackjack II via USB and make sure that Microsoft Activesync is on.
2: Click on Connection>Connect or press F1.
3: Double click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
4: Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Sounds\CustomSounds\RingTones
5: In here you should see a registry that looks something like:
Name............Type..........Data
abDirectory....REG_SZ....\My Documents\My Sounds

Change "\My Documents\My Sounds" to the correct directory of your sounds on your storage card.

Mine reads:
Name............Type..........Data
abDirectory....REG_SZ....\Storage Card\My Documents\My Sounds

and works just fine.

Hope this helps.
If further help is needed just PM me.
Cheers.

Add some tips but Please discuss outside of this post...lets keep this thread clean.

1) Press and hold HOME button to bring up Task Manager

2) Press and Hold Camera Button to ZOOM IN on screen
2a) While in Zoom Mode...Press and tap action button (center of dpad) to pop up a list of automatic movements to autoate reading movement....strange feature.

3) Press and Hold CV Button to bring up Power Manager

4) Press and Hold MAIL button to turn off screen

5) Press and Hold END key to lock device

6) Tap Power Button to bring up Quick List

Whats the RPM gauge (thats what it looks like to me) that pops when you use the camera button to zoom in and then press the start key?

Glad you found this, but the exact instructions didn't work for me.

Once you've navigated to your previously locked letter in HKLM/software/samsung/keyrun (V, M, C, etc..) delete the AppPath, AppTitle, AND Argument strings. Now set the Order value to 0 (I'm pretty sure you can actually leave this value alone, but i just set it to 0)

The letter you just edited has now been unlocked and removed from the Settings>Key Settings>FN Key Settings menu.

Just add back the letter with any program you want and launch away from the home screen!

I have C set to Calculator
G to Google Maps
A to Alarms
E to File Explorer
O to Opera

etc...

Good luck!

One thing I noticed when i originally did this a few months ago is when u reorder apps, they will begin to take the order slots that were once vacant. Anything in the order slots of 1-5(i believe it may be 1-6) are hard locked in the reg and you can not change them in the Key setting, but you can always go back into the registry and delete them out.

Does anyone who has the ability to do this, have a min to get me the information under the B(for Bluetooth) as i accidentally deleted this out and this is a short cut key i do use. I would appreciate it.

Side Note: I got the BT App location in my previous post.

Anyone know how to set up repeating notification?

My old RAZR would keep notifing me when I missed a SMS, call or Voice mail. With the BJII the only way to know if you missed something (like in a noisy environment) is to constantly check the thing.

Try PhoneAlarmSP at: http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarmSP.html

Try Don't Forget at: http://thinkabdul.com/2007/08/06/dont-forg...bration-or-led/

Both will remind you at whatever interval you want. Both are good, I prefer PhoneAlarm because of the added features for homescreen plugins.

I didn't see this here, although it's probably elsewhere in the forum.. if you press and hold a key for a few seconds, it will insert the alternate character just like if you used the Fn key first. (i.e. hold the "E" key down for a few seconds and it will insert "1")
