Hello.
Yesterday I got a S730/Wings from work, and like many other Telenor (Norwegian telecom) subsidized phones, the right soft button opens a web page called ENTRY (news and commercials). I would rather have that the button opened contacts, messaging or something else, preferably customizable on the phone.
All replies appreciated.
read this Wiki and check if link to that webpage is assigned to the button. If yes, either delet the link, or change it to something else (just edit it as text file).
check out these registry values:
They may or may not be present in Standard, but are in Pro... try it!
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

hi its me again. i had to create a new today key including all childs, but my Wings ignores these settings totally. Did something wrong?
Could somebody tell me if there is a today key under your microsoft key?

No, I don't have such a key.
So have anybody changed his right softkey? Perhaps to new SMS?
I've changed mine to new sms, but since its was sold unlocked and not subsidized it didnt have the Entry-button. My phone doesnt forget my registry settings when restarting.
Try looking for key 113 in "HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home", maybe your phone is configured to look for settings other places than mine.
No "Key"-Key, no 113 key. nothing. hmm.
I have an HTC Phone, its not branded.
I mapped it to 'contacts', and it works perfectly.

Which registry change you did?
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts"
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\Open = ":MSCONTACTS"
Finally it works for me. Point softkey to "New SMS"
softkeys
this is what you are looking for just download to your mem card and install to ur phone and run the app. it lets you choose what u want you soft keys to be...and thats it

Just wondering is anyone knows how to remap the stupid PTT button so I can use it for voice command??
I tried the PTTfix for the hermes, it disabled PTT but didn't allow me to reassign the button to anything else.
thanks,

Install Vibra Switch, then map this app to the button from the programs folder.

I hate to ask stupid questions, but installing this app, does not seem to enable a new hardware button. I still only show a total of 5, with no option of the PTT button. I am looking at the "buttons" commandlet in settings
What am I missing?
Try AEBPlus
isnt there just a simple way to do it in the registry?
or a different way to change it?
Solved it
Ok this actually can be done in the registry, what you will need to do first is stop the PPT service from loading when you boot up, I used SK tools and removed it from the start-up section of that program. Then you need to goto:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
Add a new key called 40C6
then I added a string called Name with the value Button 6
you should now be able to assign a program to PTT through settings/buttons
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
if for whatever reason if its not there yet these are all the values I have under key 40C6
(default) "path to your program in quotes"
dword: BtnWnd value=0
dword: Flags value=0
string: Name value=Button 6
string: ResetCmd value "path to your program in quotes"
string: WndCls LEAVE BLANK
if you need to enter all that, go for it, but I would assume it would work after completing the first part of this post
let me know
PS with Voice command it only works to start the program, holding the PTT button to cancel a command doesn't work for me, if anyone figures that out let me know, that would be awesome

I don't own SKTools, so I disabled the PTT service by going to hklm\services\ptt
on the "dll" entry, I just inserted a semi-colon, to prevent the dll from loading- ";PTTService.dll"
However, I was not having much luck getting button 6 to work. Entries appeared in "buttons", but it would not link to the calculator. Finally, I decided to reboot.
Reboot somehow removed button6 entries in registry.
So in other words, it is not working, for me.
Very odd.

I have heard that turning the phone off (hold power putton) will make the registry entries stick, but I've never had a problem just soft resetting, let me know if you figure it out
the reg change didn't persist for me either and I did perform a power cycle.
Would like
I sure would like to see a solution here myself. These folks have one for WM6 on Hermes but some Kaiser folks posted near the end of the thread that the method is not working for them. Author says he will eventually get it working on the Kaiser.

I simply exported the PTT key altogether & removed it, put in the new 40C6 entry, and the device's remapping works flawlessly. Using SKTools.

at&t Tilt? Stock ROM?
I used the free PHM regedit:
http://www.phm.lu/downloads/download.aspx?{940B734A-C437-41C7-ADED-2A4418802FD3}
I completed deleted the whole PTT group from the services (would not work until I did this).
Confirm
I can confirm the experience of robroth and GumboChief. Followed GumboChiefs advice on the ; - worked to disable PTT load. Then followed mbritten's reg changes in post #6. Registry key 40C6 disappers consistently after soft reset.
However, removing the entire PTT worked perfect.
Big thanks to scoppola and mbritten! So happy to have this working! Cheers guys.

WFM as well! - removed the entire PTT key.
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

OK well this forum is for the HTC Tytn 2, AKA Kaiser, AKA Tilt (not tilt 2)..
how do we get the day of the week to show on the htc home screen?
I use to ba able to do it with pimp my black on the 8525 by adding "dddd" in front.
anyone know the registry for this function
Agreed - This would be handy!!
I haven't found anything in the registry for this, the date displayed in the HTC Home Plugin appears to be hardcoded to use the "short date" formating.

HKLM/nls/overrides/SSDte
add ",ddd" at the end of the string.
Universal owner with Homeplug...
Hi,
I don't have a Kaiser but I'm running the homeplug on a Universal and I'd just like to know what the string is before the ",ddd" in your registry . For some reason it doesn't recognise dd/mm/yy it just displays the day 05/mm/07, Mon.
Thanks.
Edit : Don't worry figured it out it has to be dd/MM/yy or dd/MM/yyyy then space or , "ddd" (3 letter day) or can be "dddd" (Full day name)
For short day and month as shown here:
HKLM/nls/overrides/
Change SLDte and SSDte to: ddd, MMM dd, yyyy
Maybe it's too early but I have no keys in \HKLM\nls\overrides\
would manually creating the keys work? what are the values/names etc. if so?
Thanks - this is exactly what I've been looking for if it works!

Manually creating the keys works:
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
and
\HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte (Format: string) Value: dddd, MMMM d, yyyy
(or choose the type of date you want)
i removed the ", yyyy" as i think the year is not necessary and it was messing up my call history.
the part that shows the date of the call was too long and was cutting off the name/number of the caller. removing the year shortens it a bit and minimizes the problem.
thanks again for this tweak!

I found using SSDt2 as "ddd, M/d/yy" is a good compromise and only interferes with call hsitory when the caller's name is very long.

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.
seems it doesn't work with wm6. after installing it, the program isnt available in my program.
Something very weird is happening on my Diamond. Suddenly my on screen full querty keyboard is stuck in the numeric mode and hitting the "ABC" button won't go to the normal mode where you can type letters. If I change to other type of keyboard, for example the Phone Keypad, it'll also type only numbers not letters, no matter in what mode it is.
I've tried soft reset but the issue persists. Last app I installed was Mobile Justice but I don't think it has something to do with the issue...
Anyone have seen this before? any suggestion besides hard reset?
Yes, I had same problem and found out that it was caused by the installation of a custom T9.cab file (Dutch). I uninstalled it and problem was gone.

Aha, I think I installed one of those cabs a few days ago as well, but how do you uninstall that? it doesn't appear in the add/remove programs window.
how dod you guys fixed it? got same problem
Try this:
Go into the registry and ensure the following settings, then soft reset.
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409
Layout Text to "eT9 IME"
Ime File to "\windows\eT9ime.dll"
HKCR\CLSID\{73AB106C-A726-484b-B610-BE3E1CF39821}
(Default) = "XT9"
thanks mate appriciated. worked perfect.
I exp it. I found out that. Restored or copy contacts before customize the keyboard and it works like normal
