A simple shortcut file is enough:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=SMS to my Friend XY
Exec=python -c 'import dbus; print dbus.Bus().call_blocking("org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager","/org/freedesktop/Telepathy/Account/ring/tel/ring", "com.nokia.Account.Interface.ChannelRequests","EnsureChannel","a{sv}ts", ({"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetHandleType":dbus.UInt32(1),"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.TargetID":"000000000","org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.ChannelType":"org.freedesktop.Telepathy.Channel.Type.Text"},0,""))'
Icon=general_sms

Replace the "Name=SMS to my Friend XY" to whatever you want and
replace the 000000000 with the phone number of your contact.
And then put this file in (name it sms_whatever.desktop)
/usr/share/applications/hildon/

is there a similar variation on this code for phonecalls, emails, etc? And how do you embed an icon for such a shortcut?

For E-Mail:

Code:

[Desktop Entry]
Encoding=UTF-8
Version=0.1
Type=Application
Name=EMAIL to X
Exec=python -c 'import dbus; print dbus.Bus().call_blocking("com.nokia.modest","/com/nokia/modest", "com.nokia.modest","ComposeMail","ssssss", ("receiverATmail.com","","","SUBJECT","BODY",""))'
Icon=general_email

replace receiverATmail.com with the your contacts emailaddress.

The icon name is in the Icon=... line in the desktop file.
Use an icon name like general_email or general_sms for
icons known by the theme or use the full path of a custom icon
like /home/user/ICONNAME

what i did...

Copy the above command and paste in a notepad

Name i gave 'sweetheart' and the mobile no. of a contact consist of 1O digit, so i gave 9999999999(fake) and save it to the same name...sms_whatever.desktop

then i copy the following txt.file to my N9OO and opened filebox and copy it and then save it to
/usr/share/applications/hildon/

then i got the icon of msg on my homescreen but no response after i click on it...

Where am i Wrong...
