Remap softkey buttons?

I've seen people talk about remapping most of the other keys, but not these. Since I'm now on WM Pro, I've found I don't use these buttons at all... I always just use the touchscreen. Since we're always hurting for hard keys, any way to remap these to something useful?

Registry edits to change soft keys applications:
Change the program opened by the Left soft key: (I've shown the current setting):
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (include the quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key: (again, current setting shown):
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\ = Calendar (no quotes)
The right soft key is the same pattern except the key number is 113 and it may not exist - you may have to create it.

I installed the following cab and it worked great. Once installed you can change the soft keys from Start-->Settings-->Personal-->Soft Key

Thanks... I was just coming back to post that I ended up installing AE Button Plus to handle this. I would have been completely happy with the solution you posted, so thanks! But I've spent the past hour finding all kinds of handy thing to assign with the single, double, triple, and press hold options.

is there a plugin that will display the programs in the program folder as a list?
(sorry, posted in the wrong place. ignore!)

I suffer from fat finger disorder as well and usually hit send too fast.
Which version of AEBplus do you need? Can it be done with the freeware version?

Yes, the freeware version works... just has a nag screen when you boot the phone.

The free version (1.01) doesnt have settings for the soft keys....
I guess you have to buy it

I'm sorry, I'm using the "trial" version. But I've not seen anything about it being a time limited trial, only that it has the nag screen and lacks the Action list:
What is the difference between trial and registered version?
Two things only:
Splash screen appears during device starting up.
"Action list" is blocked in trial mode

Hi, I'm using Toshiba G900 with WM6 and I have the folder
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\ but it is empty. What kind of register should I create - "String Value", "MultiString Value", "DWORD Value" or "Binary Value". What the name of the register should be? Is there other regs that must be created to do the job? Thank you in advance!

Another SIP when stylus out

New version at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2622590&postcount=45
Old version
I'm make a small program, which change current SIP when stylus out of the case and in the case.
Just unzip, and run program. Run again, and you can stop background process.
Settings in registry:
key HKCU\Software\HtcExtFun
value StylusInSipName - string name of SIP when stylus in the case
value StylusOutSipName - string name of SIP when stylus out of the case
example of reg settings (included in attached archive):
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard - VGAKEY"
"StylusInSipName"="TouchPal"

Sorry I messed up im such an idiot!

And would it be possible to change the diamond in some kind of explosive device if the stylus is pulled out and in five times in less than three seconds ?
Hmmm James Bond on TV tonight, sorry for that.
The real question was : what do you call SIP : is it any program ? Does it interfere with the "notes" opening during a call ?

SIP = "Soft Input Panel"
It's the method of inputting text on a ppc, such as keyboard, transcriber etc...
Thanks a lot exidler, I've been missing this feature

My question is will it interfere/conflict with a SmartSIP application? I'm not in the mood for a Hard Reset just now due to conflicting SIPs...

Hello,
Nice idea but when I execute the HtcExtFun.exe I received this message :
"can't initialize SIP CLSIDs for stylus status"
My Rom is HTC_FRA_1.93.406.1
Thank's for you help

Just change the registry keys to whatever SIPs you use. You probably don't even have a "Keyboard - VGAKEY" installed.
2ALL: Also be sure to input localized names for SIPs into reg keys (for non-WWE ROMs). Good luck!
Btw, it works just fine with SmartSIP...
Good job, exidler! Thank you. It's just what I wanted. Will probably uninstall SmartSIP now...

At begining of topic, asking about runing Notes when stylus pulled out.
My question: may be add feature to run something when stylus pulled out? Not only when call in progress.

Would be a nice addition, but I'd prefer it to be user-configurable (on/off), with a list of exceptions. So each time I'm about to rename a file it won't open Notes or whatever.

help stylus
for open the program???
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HtcExtFun]
"StylusOutSipName"="Keyboard - VGAKEY"
"StylusInSipName"="TouchPal"
hello graziano

WOW Fantastic app thanks
I Repackaged it in a cab file that adds the reg key to change between Compact QWERTY and Keyboard. Also drops a shortcut under
Start Menu>Programs
Jules

Video of the software here. I think its great, but could obviously do with a configuration panel and having a shortcut dropped into \windows\startup.

It only worked for me after a soft reset, and then starting the app once.
Surur

To have it start at every boot up, paste the app in /Windows/StartUp
Very convenient app, they should have implemented this in the original ROM .

Awesome!...
It worked after I add ZaJules's Reg file.
But I want to be able to switch between:
Compact QWERTY and Fitaly by textware.
I edited the reg location (in windows registry) from keyboard to fitaly
now removing/replacing stylus doesn't do anything...
cheers, stevo.
[edit] Maybe it's called something else in the registry...
[edit] fixed it.
I had "Keyboard Qwerty" insteat of "Keyboard QWERTY", so it IS CAP specific!.
cheers, swesome.... This bl00dy phone just gets better and better every day...!

Updated the cab to include the automated startup

GREAT small application, very handy indeed.

re not go
error on startup
saluti dvdfilm

when using the exidler....cab I got an error while starting up. It seems the application is missing a reference. When I start it manually I get an error about missing reference in registry.
I use original Rom 1.93GER

Change camera counter

I recently flashed a new ROM to my diamond and the camera image counter (the automatic naming of the images) reset to 1
Is there a registry key where that number is stored, so i can change it back to the old value(600) ?
Thanx

HKLM\Software\HTC\Camera\Captparam\ExifInfo
NEXTFILENAME key
change the number to what you want the next imagename to use.

It didn't work
I changed NEXTFILENAME key from IMAGE_005 to IMAGE_700, but the next image I take is IMAGE_005, and the key changed back
I even tried to change the key then soft-reset but same thing happened.

Doesn't anyone have another ideea? This should be easy.
I really need this because I take alot of photos and I can't organise them anymore.

isnt it in the settings for the camera? pretty sure i have seen it there....

I found this posting before but because byte 68 and 69 are zero I thought this post did not cover my device.
Now I looked a little deeper and found byte 109 and 110 which are the right ones for my Touch Pro2. And it works!

Hello, im using miri 8.1 premium and i want to remove the "slide down for more options" when i make a call... is this possible??

Because its not just in Miri's rom, its in more or less all of them now

I want it back to my ROM badly. where is the cab?

+1
i also do not need it, and would like to know how to turn it off

+1.
Its a pain to mute/un-mute during conf calls with this on.
Anyone?

For those users interested to find a solution to disable the curtain, here is the package. Could be a dll or a registry key.

Found a solution
Found a solution with reg key.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone\Cover
There is a DWORD value ResumeInterval set to 5000 (5secs).
I changed it 300000 (5mins) and soft-reset.
Now the call starts with slider on, you only need to slide down once. Then it will wait for 5 mins of inactivity to come back up.
Probably higher values can be used, but 5mins should work for me.
As always, modify registry at your own risk...

I must admit the Topaz dialer (as nice as it may look) sux! What was wrong with the standard HTC HD dialer? it supported landscape and was functional.

i assume you like the curtain and i'm glad for you, others don't
maybe we use this and just don't need an extra step of protection
and we want to find a way to turn it off

I had zero issue with the standard one, it was functional and did exactly as one would expect. Topaz dialer hides all options instantly making it absolutely dangerous to try and activate loudspeaker whilst driving . The other issue is landscape view, if using any rotate screen app and having the device in landscape (ie. whilst using GPS apps etc) and receiving a call there is no dialer shown at all!
Surely I am not the only one to notice these problems?

thanks man it helped

yes, so what ..?

What's it not doing? Not announcing?
I played around with mine and eventually got it to work. For example I unchecked the "high priority only" on the message alert and got that to finally work. Not sure what constitutes a "high priority" other than any message from my wife, lol!

@RatRedux, thanks for your response! I just can't assign it to a button, also, I've the American version, and it can't really understand my British accent in most commands...how did you assign a button?

managed to remap the registry key as follows:
# Goto HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\Shell\Keys
* - Click Open Key named "40C6"
* - Change the 'Default' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"
* - Now change the 'ResetCmd' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"
Now close Registry, and go back to device and click the button on the top left side which is indicated by the 'Speak' Icon, and it should now work for you!

I only ever used voice commands with my bluetooth headset so I never bothered to set a button on the phone. It works most of the time but it doesn't help that my wife and neice and daughter and sister in law have similar sounding names so it occasionally wants to dial the wrong relative lol! I turned off the announce incoming calls since my Blueant T1 has it's own built in voice caller ID. Though I must admit the lady who lives inside my phone sounds a bit nicer than the lady inside the bluetooth!
We haven't figured out how to set up Google voice in my wife's Android phone so I must give my old "brick" (as my wife calls it) a nod since it worked right away even on my old junk headset.
