I have added two soft keyboards to my AT&T Tilt and when I try to select them by clicking on the up arrow next to the keyboard icon; it takes ~8 seconds for the keyboard list to appear. How can I reduce this time by modifying a registry key?
Thanks,
As I read in a forum,using a Registry Editor go to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and export CLSID.
Delete CLSID and then run the file you exported before (CLSID.reg).It will ask if you want to import the file and you press "Yes".Don't know why it works because it's the same thing,but it works!
I tried it.

Sory to ask such a dumb question, but I have tried and tried and could not found the solution.
After upgrading to Panosha Light 5 rom, when I press the phone hard button I get a screen to dial, where the left soft key is programmed to "hide keypad" and get to "keypad" again.
I would like to have here instead of "keypad" a shorcut to "contacts".
Where can I change the left soft key?
Open registry editor and go to \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Edit "HomeLSKPath" value and type in the EXACT location of the program you want to launch (includung capital letters) e.g "/Program Files/xx/xx/xx.exe"
Save the value.
Then edit "HomeLSKText" and type the title of the softkey eg "Contacts" or some other text that you want to show for your LEFT softkey
Save this value
Close registry editor
Soft reset phone
After soft reset, the LEFT softkey should now show new title and link to the program that was set in "HomeLSKPath"
Harder than I thought, hope it works. Thanks.
Well, after snooping around trying to find out how to change the kaiser's soft keys using registry only, I finally found the solution after peeking into PocketCM's registry!
Here's how to do it:
1. Using a registry editor (I prefer PHM RegEdit), navigate to the first left one, which is:
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
You'll notice two strings there: "Default" and "Open" (no quotes).
"Default" is the name of the left soft key, so if you wanted the left soft key to say Internet Explorer, just change the value of of the string to say "Internet Explorer". "Open" is the path of the file you want to open when you click on the left soft key, and it has to be an .exe file! So, if you wanted the left soft key to open Internet Explorer, you would change the value of "Default" to say Internet Explorer instead of Calendar, and you would change "Open" to \windows\iexplore.exe. That's it!
Now, for changing the right soft key. The interesting thing is, that it seems you can only change the path of Contacts to open a different application, although some programs allow you to change the name, so it must be possible to change the name. Anyway, to change the path of the right soft key, open your Registry editor, then go to
Code:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
now, edit the value of 1 to the path you want, and it must be an .exe!
That's it, let me know if I missed something!
Thank you so much!!!!!
It was the only way I could change the left soft key in the new V10 ROM by L26!
Not even SwopKeys was working.
The only thing missing is the name of the right softkey, can you tell me how to change it?
The other soft key is (on some devices)
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

lol, thanks, I was trying 111 and 114 for some reason, good to know!
In my latest custom rom for myself this is the registry setting I made in my kitchen....works great...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="\\windows\\iContact.exe"
This was placed in the rgu located in the OEM_Lang_409 folder.
Just some information...This rgu contains all the key settings so you can change them to what you would like while cooking
Any idea on how to change the left softkey while in phone mode from "Hide Keypad" to "Contacts"?
Perfect! I now have the Comm Manager available with one touch. Thank you!

I would like to know how to map the soft keys found on the HW keyboard- seperately from the outside soft buttons.
Hi
I've downloaded the most recent Fitaly but I cant get simple word completion working.
The phone keypad and compact qwerty do give me normal word completion.
The others such as full querty, keyboard and fitaly don't.
I have tried all the settings available but so far no joy.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me
Thanks, Dean
A quick bump so this doesn't disappear into the forum depths.
I'd really like to solve this as I need word completion.
Any help much appreciated
Thanks,Dean
Touch Diamond Text Word Completion Registry Change
IMPORTANT: previously be sure that HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\XT9SupportMSSip has a value of 0.
Simply change these two registry keys under:
HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\control\layouts\e 0010409
Ime File : \windows\xt9ime.dll change to Ime File :\windows\compime.dll

Hey thanks for the reply. I'm a bit of a newbie when it comes to registry changes. What would be best to use for this - total commander or memmaid ( I have both)?
Is there anything to watch out for or is it pretty much follow your nose?
Thanks, Dean
Thanks a heap Manny - you're a fricken genius. Changed the value as you suggested and hey presto, I'm in action again
Once again xda proves to be an invaluable resource - many thanks.
Cheers, Dean
I have Fitaly 5.0 installed in my HTC Diamond. I can use it to enter lower case letter without any problem. However, it just can't enter the capital letter that I press, no matter I press the CAP key to show the upper case keyboard first or when choosing a sentence with some upper case letter in it from the popup menu.
All the upper case letter are displayed as a lower case letter.
For example when I enter “aBC”, it will display “abc” on the screen.
I have tried searching for a long time on this because I know I've seen it before, but I can't find it anywhere.
Where is the mapping of the right soft key in the registry? I'm using itje's Touch-IT v3.01 and can't find it anywhere. I don't want the right soft key to be the "Today" screen, but any changes in settings do not "stick."
Hi
Use Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3
Remap softkeys

ADC doesn't change the TF3d right key very well..
It's better to change the registry keys.
Use a decent regeditor (I use fdc taskmanager)
go to HLKM/software/htc/manila
the right and left softkeys are there.
You need to put the complete path to whatever file you want to access and enclose it in ""
HtH
Ok, so I got there, but I really don't want to map it to a path. I just want it to function like the left soft key, but on the right. I looked at the values of the LSKpath, but it is blank too.
If I changed the registry value to "<Right Softkey>" like it is called in settings-buttons-left key, would it still work? I'm a rookie with the registry although I am trying.
And I have the fdc task manager now.
try this little app, works perfect
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
Yeah, that tweak app lets me assign something else, but I want the right soft key to be context with what I'm running on the screen.
... but still good work! I love your ROM.
do you mean the right Hardware key then?
Yes. Sorry for any confusion... I am talking about the hardware key.
In that case again there's a reg key that you can change,
but have you tried it in the button settings control app? as I've just tried it and it works here using Itje's rom.
<Right Softkey> is one of the options and it sets it fine. Not tested to see if it sticks after soft reset but it works.
anyway reg key is HKLM/software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C3
using the buttons settings control panel changes
Flags to 14 (decimal)
Default (blank as in nothing there)

I noticed a strange problem.
Inside text editing application that do not warp lines (Orneta Notepad Mobile and any other notepad style application I tried) text selection (with stylus tap and drag) only works when lines a short and orizontal scroll bar is missing or disabled. When lines are longer and orizontal scroll bar appears text selection is no more possible.
Does anyother noticed this problem?
Any solution?
Selecting text works not so fine anymore.
When I hold the syles on the screen sometimes it works, but not oke.
Or when I hit with the styles on a word he selected that word.
With me other WM phones (HTC to) it was possible selecting, copy, paste in most places. It was very simple te select a pease of tekst.
Does HTC running a app that has a conflict with the WM selecting option?
I have searching registry if there is maybe a key to change.
I don't like the slecting way on the Diamond2.
I hope someone find out what the problem can be.

True.

I found a partial solution: there is a way to make a list of applications that should be ignored by TouchFlo. Inside these applications scroll by tap and drag stop working but text selection does work.
Find the registry key HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs
For any application that you want TouchFlo ignore create a string value and assign to it the name of the application .exe file (important: the value seems to be case sensitive)
For example in my case for Orneta Notepad Mobile
HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs\IgnoreAppNP = "NOTEPAD.exe"
Thanks, it works.
I have now add strings with poutlook.exe, PIMConnectivity.exe, Notepad.exe and Explorer.exe (resco) .
In those apps it works now fine.
