Hi folks,
Is there a way to remap the soft keys on the Kaiser?
I am sure there is; I would appreciate it if someone explained to me how.
I had to uninstall Pocket Informant and I can't access the original Calendar app on the left soft key!!!
Many thanks,
MAC

SoftKey Changer
There you go.. Install, soft reset, and its under Start -> Settings -> System
I gave it a try but my expectations were that would be what that soft key would be no matter what program I'm in, but that is not the case. I guess I'll use somethign else like AE Button to get teh keys I want.
Thanks for the post though.
[EDIT]
By the way, after uninstalling, the button assignments remain. Interesting.
Yep use AE Button. It's an amazing tool! Although be careful what you change as it can mess up your device used carelessly.

Thanks very much. I will give this a try.
In the meantime I had to restore a previous version from SPB Backup and this got sorted. I have decided not to re-install Pocket Informant 8 as it caused some isues with ringtones and performance.
I put this on my HTC Tilt and it works awesome, exactly what i was looking for to change the two soft keys.
Hi there, hope everyone is well.
I installed the softkey changer cab , and it seemed to install fine. I was able to find it under settings with no problem and set the left softket to 'new sms'. However when I try to actualy use this from the homescreen i get an error message saying:
"The file 'tnsms' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components could not be found. If the problem persists try reinstalling or restoring this file."
I have tried reinstalling, but got the same problem. I can still send an sms if I go through contacts, or messaging, but would love to have this as a working softkey as it tends to be the function I use the most.
Other than installing google maps and opera mini, there have been no changes made since I received the phone a few days ago. It is a standard HTC tytn II.
I'm completely new to this, and any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks, James.

This helped:

Essentially, change the value of the key to /Windows/(your SMS program)
Mine was tmail.exe.
Now I wonder... how do I not go to the messages screen and go directly to a new SMS?
I'm having the same problem on a Tilt.

Thanks for the advice, I will probably give that a go when I've stopped being so scared of changing registry stuff.
I did find another app that does the trick though. Just make sure you add a shortcut to 'new sms' first (bottom option of the config screen), you should then be able to assign this to either softkey.
Works for me, and I'm able to go straight to a new sms from the homescreen.
Hope it helps, all the best.

Hey guys, recently joined this forum since i got my first wm device, the SE X1
I searched the forum trying to find a way to stop the virtual keyboard from popping upp as soon as I select an input box in the opera web browser. So I was hoping you guys could help me.
oh btw, atm - I suck on wm, but Im very keen on learning so if you have any newbie tips for me that would be great too.

Can't answer ur question, but am gonna ask another - if you don't mind... "does the on-screen keyboard come up when the hardware keyboard is opened too?"
AFAIK this is a persistent problem, but there is a null keyboard without any keys which wont get in your way when it pops up.
http://freewareppc.com/utilities/nullkeyboard.shtml
Surur
yes, thats the problem! it does so when its open. wouldnt mind if it did when closes
thanks for the link to the null keyboard, unfortunatly it didnt work. Ille see if I cant find another one
okey, I tried "Phm null keyboard", it worked but made the icon flick and looked strange so I removed it
Doesn't bother me just hit a button on the hardware keyboard and it dissapears
someone else who has a tip?
Same problem since years and generations of WM
I don't recognize it anymore. One tab on the hardware-keyboard and it is off again.
Pls. This can't be difficult to fix for a smart person.
The easiest fix currently known has already been stated.
Place the cursor into a text box, and allow the on-screen keyboard to pop up. Then slide the phone open and expose the hardware keyboard. Next hit the space key, and then slide the phone closed.
Problem solved until you bring the on-screen keyboard up again.

Yes ofcourse but it would be nice to somehow disable it from popping up automaticly
I don't see the big problem about this issue. Does the keyboard stay up on the Xperia? I know on my device all I do is hit the text box and start typing on the hardware keyboard and the virtual disappears as soon as I hit the first key.

That's correct it does disappear on the X1.
The symbol key on the keyboard doesnt work in Opera... the on screen symbol menu wont come up
Im sure i saw a registry hack for this problem. does anuone have any more info#?
anyone know of a registry hack yet? This keyboard popping up is getting on my nerves now
here's a reg tweak

Hi Guys,
i have just installed this CAB: BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab
But i would just prefere the "old" Touch HD Keyboard/Keyad etc.
How can i get them back? Because as far as i have seen BJK_HTC_EzInput2_WVGA_NoKbd_0409-B1_4.cab replaces them :-(
Is there any CAB out there (already searched but found nothing) or can anyone send me the files for the old Keyboards (Keypad, conpact Qwertz, complete Qwertz)
Thanks a lot,
BigD
Does uninstall and soft reset not bring the old keyboard back?
Post #3 HTC Keyboard (old) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482258
no it didn´t, now i did a hard-reset, was necessary anyway
i have the same problem i want my origional keyboard back how do u hard reset and what will this do?

Hard reset will restore device to factory settings. i.e. it will be as if you just flashed a rom, everything will have been lost/reset i.e. all software, apps, contacts, emails, everything on device will have been lost except what was on SD card. You will need to set up your device again.
To perform a hard reset:
Turn off device
Hold down volume up & volume down and press power on
Continue to hold volume up & volume down until you are presented with white screen and text.
Follow text intructions and press vol up to reset to factory settings
EDIT
Are you just trying to set original keyboard as default after you uninstalled a keyboard?
If so try going to Start > Settings > Personal > Input and select keyboard
Alternatively install SIP Change and then open it and select keyboard to be used as default
thankyou very much!
so if i copy all my devices contacts etc over to the card with the cabs etc. and reload them onto the phone after the hard reset there will be minimal change i.e. i dont have to fish around for all my contacts again lol.
thanks again in advance
edit: the only reason i want the old one back is that finger keyboard 2.1 has messed it all up. im running windows 6.1 the standard rom. no keyboard will open when browsing web and the keyboard doesnt even open all the time on messages.
again many thanks
sorry again i am a noob...
how do i copy contacts to my card memory, there isnt enough space on the sim card for even half of them and i cant find them in file explorer is there something im missing? its probably an onvious one aswell.
sorry.
cheers
i have installed the sip change now, the keyboard that comes up when selecting keyboard is a dodgy little buttoned non standard one for some reason i think im guna have to reset the device hopefully this will get me the hd touches keyboard back... again sorry just need to know how to get my contact safe before resetting
thanks

When in email, sms etc and keyboard pops up, have you tried selecting up arrow beside the wee keyboard symbol at bottom and selecting different keyboard?
To backup contacts you have a few options. You can either sync contacts with your pc Outlook or use free backup apps like PIM Backup & Sashimi or 3rd party apps like SPB Backup, Sprite Backup & Resco Backup
yes ive tried the switcing input method onto "keyboard" infact ive tried them all to no avail still either this dodgy little crappy keyboard or one of the other input devices, im going to hard reset i think its best. thanks very much ill use the active sinc for it.
you have been a great help tyvm
update a hard reset has sorted this problem i will do more research before installing keyboards in the future many thanks
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Windows Mobile world and only got my Xperia X1 a couple of weeks back. I want to get the TouchFLO 3D interface on there.
However, I want to use CABs which allow me to switch to the TF3D interface and back out again to Xperia, rather than using a cooked rom.
I've looked around and at first it seemed fairly simple, but then the installation wouldn't work because the file didn't have certification security (or something like that).
I've seen articles saying you have to install older versions first, and almost all seem to point to cooked roms.
Does anybody know of a way to install the TF3D interface from a CAB file, and be able to switch in and out of it, like you can do with Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1?
I have Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 and Spb Weather installed, but I really want the TF3D interface... the weather animations on it are absolutely amazing!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sonny
If you check out the stickies in this section, one of them is all about programs, panels and tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
Going through it, there is a specific one about installing TF3D as a cab and then running it as a panel.
Wow! Thanks Zenith.
Just managed to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila.cab and then TF3DPanelInstaller.CAB.
Works a charm. Exactly what I was after.
I'm now going to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab and see how the applications work.
Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction, very much appreciated.

Issues With Right Selection Button
Not sure if this is a known and shared issue. Is anybody else having the following problem..?
After installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, my right-hand selection button (the one above the OK button) is not working correctly. E.g. on the Today screen, it does not take you to 'Contacts'.
The left-hand selection button is fine, and it does correctly take you to the 'Phone' screen.
The right hand button is functioning though, but it seems to just be working like the 'Hang-up' button. If I go into an app and press it, it takes me back to the Today screen, and the app remains open in the task manager.
I got a little worried and decided to revert back to the original setup of my phone by using Sony's update tool. The right-hand selection button began to work fine again. After re-installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, I've got the problem again.
I'm guessing this may be down to a registry change. Anybody have any idea if and how you could change this through the registry, and which regkey to amend? Or is there a tweak/fix for this issue?
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Sonny
Sorted Button Issue
Hmm, after checking the button settings again, it turns out the Right Selection button was set to Today. Removed the selection... sorted.

this is a known problem for tf3d. correct me if im wrong but all the cabs and cooked roms has this issue. sure you can assign the button in settings but after you turn phone off or reset tf3d it will always reset right button to today.
untick tf3d 1st then extract and paste in windows directory and your problem will be solved. hope that works for ya

So this is to enable the right button to be assigned? Hmm.... kind of remember having that problem but somehow it was solved. Think with B2 of Daran's cab.
ManilaToday.dll Fixed The Issue!
Thanks Himuraken!
The ManilaToday.dll fixed the issue. Replaced the one in my Windows directory and now I don't have to change the button settings after a reboot.
And just for the record, Ipporek, I have Daran's B3 CAB and I was still getting the issue before Himuraken provided me with this ManilaToday.dll.
Problem sorted, now to look at installing the essential software cabs for TF3D. Installed Youtube yesterday, seems to work okay. Will check out some of the others later.

glad it work for you. i forgot to mention that credit goes to the person that provided this in the touch itJe v7 thread. not sure who it was so please forgive me.
Hi, it is my first post in a long time. Now I'm Xperia user.
I tried to download the today.dll but the link is gone. Additionally, my manila is not working: for some unexplained reason the program keeps trying to enter but did not succeed. It starts and then restart without opening.
Can somebody help me? I'm not inclined to try a Rom with manila for in that case I lose the "Ç" key and the letter recognition.
I use the Brazilian Sony Rom version from April 23, 2009.
Thanks, in advance!
Manila not working on Brazilian Xperia
Hi, this is my first post in a very long time. I tried to install this on my Xperia but got 2 errors:
1 - the right hard key problem and the file Today.dll is no more available at the said link
2 - the manila tries to start but does not enter. It keeps restarting but to no avail!
Please, some help is in order! I use brazilian Sony Rom and a cooked Rom is not na option since I would loose the hard "Ç" key and the on screen letter recognizer.
Also, I could not put the "Transcriber" to work.
Thanks

I downloaded a hex editor and a rom and loaded the rom onto the hex editor.
But that kind of stuff is far above me.
I'm trying to edit the keyboard mapping, i need to switch some keys around.
I have the tilt, i would really like someone experienced to help me with this because my keyboard is basically useless right now, and ill have to buy a new phone if i cant fix it.
is there not a cab file to change from the tilt to the keyboard mapping you require?
The answer is...(drum roll please)..YES!
use the forum search option for "tilt keyboard fix" and you will be pleasantly surprised.
plz remember that unlike your girlfriend search will always be there for you. ;-)

no its not the keyboard fix i know about that. My issue is unique, i need to remap some of my letters. I'm fairly certain the issue involves modifiying a rom, it doesn't matter which, and to do this i would have to use a hex editor.

what keys do you need to remap and maybe someone will know a fix.
ok my k,n, i m, and period keys are unresponsive. this is a hardware issue, ill explain further if u want. this makes the keyboard quite useless without these keys functioning.
I never use my arrow keys so I would like to map each faulty letter key (K,n,i,n,.) to a corresponding arrow, and maybe the "ok" or "tab" button.
basically when i press left arrow, the letter p would pop up...etc
i would be truly gratified if u guys helped me fix this, because ill get a cheap unbreakable phone if the tilt wont fully work. Its been really frustrating,
how old is your kaiser?
do you have a warranty on it still?
could be easier to have it replaced.
well thats where i mentioned i could go into depth further. I cracked my screen, and replaced it myself. In the process I accidently nicked the side of the ribbon wire connecting the keyboard to the main unit. This resulted in those 5 keys becoming unresponsive.
I got the phone about 6 months ago, but the warranty was voided when i took the phone apart to replace the screen.
AE Button Mapper use google..... "Not AE Button Plus"
ok i downloaded it and got it installed but i have no clue how to use it.
theres some buttons to reassign keys however u have to press the key you want to reassign and that it not possible being that those keys are disconnected.
ok little update, i think the AEK program will work, however the first step is it has to create a chart by logging all the keys. You have to press all the keys individually and it logs them with a four digit number. For example pressing the letter "d" logs key 0044. Once all the keys are logged you can type them up in a text document and mix and match accordingly.
My obstacle is that i cannot press my keys that are unresponsive, for them to be logged. I tried to find a pattern by pressing keys around these and saw nothing that made any sense.
I'm not sure if the numerical values attached are standard for every application in the phone, or specific to the AEK program. I can't find a thread, that would list the value for those letters i can't press.
Does anyone know if there is a chart with all the values assigned to each key of the tilt?
Snowman, give me a link to this AEK program and I'll use it to log all my keys on my tilt, then perhaps we can compare them to what you have and hopefully get the missing codes for you

Hex Editing a ROM file won't get what you need. I've seen people trying to patch the keyboard driver for this, but no success. Sorry, couldn't be more help .
