Do you know which app. does

Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key. I don't know about other page yet.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
HomeLSKText - text of the button.
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
I put some screenshort in link below, check it out.

Works fine.

does anyone have the path for contacts ? i dont find it, and the poutlook.exe does not work.
thanks

...and I need the path for "Phone"... for back to original state...

For contacts, you have to edit the 3 keys describes by sudboy :
HomeLSKArguments (or HomeRSKArguments) : modify value to "Contacts"
HomeLSKPath (or HomeLSKPath ) : modify value to "\windows\poutlook.exe"
HomeLSKText (or HomeLSKText) : modify value to "Contacts" (for exemple)
It works fine for me (Previously I always got an error message about trusted certificate ....)
For "Phone" the file is "PhoneAgent" (\Windows\PhoneAgent.exe) but I didn't test this one

For some reason this does not work for me. I've replaced path and text with my desired choice, and it does not load my desired program although the text shows what I want. I have the paths correct, tried other programs, still nothing. I've left arguments blank each time (maybe that's the fault?) but I don't know exactly what goes here.
I did a test, and changed everything BUT text. it still loaded camera, even though the path was pointing to another program.
any help appreciated. thanks!

You have to restart. If the path is correct it will work.

yes I've restarted. anyways, I created a thread, it seems sprint users are affected by this issue of it not working.

Hi

Remap soft keys?

Hi, does anyone know how to remap soft keys on home screen? Default is Phone and Programs, I want to change one of them to run phoneweaver menu. Any idea how to do that?
Regards,
Lucas

use an regeditor or TC and go to registry,
then goto HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
there you find this
HomeLSKArguments
HomeLSKPath -> Left Home Key
HomeLSkText
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath -> Right Home key
HomeRSKText
Path = Program to run
Text= Label on Home Screen
Ghostrider

It works. Thanks for that

Hi
Very usefull tip, is it possible to do the same thing with the other shortcut in manila
For example change "All people" in the people Page ?

Hi
Can anybody post the path for displaying contacts? I have a german diamond and I tried following, which does not work: \Windows\poutlook.exe
Which path does work?

Hello Lambert,
HKCU>Software>Micosoft>Today>Keys>112 for the left key
HKCU>Software>Micosoft>Today>Keys>113 for th right key
If the 113 does'nt exist, you can create it.
Beware when you modifies the registry, you do it at your own risk.
Make a backup before each modification.
You can try also "Remap Softkeys", is a freeware that will make it for you.
Put this soft where you want, "My documents" for exemple and execute it.

You welcome !
Why do you want to allocate this keypad lock function to a soft key ?
You can lock your device by pressing and holding the "End Call" button or give it some more option ...

yes I know. but it takes too long to press the "End Call" button.
I mean its not really a problem. But it would be nice to lock the device with one touch

Ok, you can use and configure S2U2 to lock your device when you press the start button or if you put the device face down with GSen.
This app (S2U2) can give you more services that you need, but don't use the S2U2 CallerID cause it could be in conflict with the HTC CallerID.
Search for S2U2 Thread on xda-dev and GSen in this forum.

Hi,
I am trying to remap the right softkey to open the programs part of the start menu. for some reason, whatever I try, I can not get it to map to here. It tends to either error and say that it is digitally unsigned, or it opens explorer, not in the programs folder. Bit odd really. Any suggestions?

Hi, I need to map a WiFi ON/OFF toggle on the Manila Right Soft key on homescreen, cause its taking to much time going to conn.mgr. every time... is it posible ?
thx for any advice

Well I think lots of us were searching for a "videocall" fix...
In the new rom 1.93.707.1, "contacts" soft key was replaced with "video call".
Can this be fixed via registry change and revert the softkey from "videocall" to "contacts"?

How do i set the right key back to what it was?

Remap soft keys in TF3D?

IS there a small piece of software to remap the softkeys on the home screen in TF3D? There are several useful functions that could be placed on the home screen other than the default Phone/Programs. I've tried using the Remap Softkeys for WM5 but obviously that doesn't work with TF3D, and I don't want to disable Touchflow just to get altered keys.

try this
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.

Thanks very much - worked a treat!

I'm trying to remap my softkeys on the People page. I want FunContact as my primary contact manager launchable from that page... cant seem to get it done with the technique used here... I had to create a new key for it but still nothing after soft reset
any help would be GREAT! Thanks

i second that!!!
default contact is hard to use and scrolling is suck!

Try this link, it has more info about remapping soft keys in Manilla (TF3D) and also (TF2D)

or the whole thread which has other good info.

Hope this works for you!

so this is for the right soft key:
TouchFlo 3D right softkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
what do i put in the open "open" part so i can have my contacts open? and for the text to i just set it as "Contacts"?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its Windows/AppButtons/Contacts.lnk

I can't get it to work
Okay ... I've read all the post that I could find about changing the softkeys and nothing seems to work. I've changed the registry settings as indicated but still no go. I have the TMO TP2. I only want to change the home page so don't need anything fancy. Been updating the registry settings (HomeLSKText, HomeLSKpath, HomeLSKArguments) and can't get it to actually do anything (the text changes). What I want todo is to jump to the Contacts HTC page (really anything other than the Camera - why TMO did you make it Camera?). Any help would be great. Thanks.

[TUT] How to open a manila tab with shortcut

Hi,
you can open a tab with this:
\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage home.page
Instead of "home.page" you can use:
messaging.page
weather.page
people.page
email.page
album.page
music.page
internet.page
settings.page
programs.page
You can also use the shortcut for:
Manila softkeys:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Example:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "E-Mail"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage email.page"

Sascha

Thanx for your tutorial,
did you find the name for call log?
I want to map it to Homescreen Call Log, since the built in one looks pretty ugly.

try:
calllog.page
or
callhistory.page

Which means... Anybody could create a today plugin, replacing the bottom scroll bar bar something else but keeping the same pages ?

Hi,
This is almost what I was looking for.
I would like to have a similar solution to add a shortcut to a subpage of Manila tab.
Something like
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage settings.page.sound"
Well, the above does not work.
I would like to add a shortcut on home screen to the "sound" subpage in the Settings tab, so I can quickly switch profiles: normal, silent, vibrate.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks.

btw: I'm sorry! I figured it out a few weeks ago, but forgot to tell you this

No, submenus can't opened with "switchtopage", but maybe someone figure out another argument for manila.exe
"switchtosubpage" or something like that doesn't exist.

Thanx for all your great work! without you guys we would be lost...
I have a little question about pages in manila...
I was thinking that the 'Action screen' in the HTC Raphael might be somewhere in the manila files.. cus the icons are there..??
Just a wild thought
You haven't accidently stumbled upon this??

Oh, this would be very, very cool

This may be perfect for remapping TF3D homescreen softkeys.
How about creating standalone shortcuts? It doesn't work. Anyone tried?

anyone?.............

I have a dutch ROM (1.93) and for me this doesn't do anything.
If I do this:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "Music"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage music.page"
And then click on that button, it doesn't do anything.
Anyone knows maybe for ROMS in other languages than english that the command might be different ?

Can some of this be used to add new tabs to Manila?

Or to change the name and functionality of a given tab?
I tried several Manila ROMS (NATF v3 and v4, Hyperdragon III) but couldn't get used to not being able to customize the screens as I like (say like using SPB Shell and customizing the contents of any given tab).
Further, I have several apps that use a Today plugin (eg Newsbreak, PocketWeather), and I'd like to find a way to incorporate these into the Home page, or to create a Today Plugins tab, or just create a separate tab for each.
The weather tab, for example, is not practical for me, as I live in one city, work in another city, and constantly follow the weather in cities where I (or my wife) are about to travel. So having a single city weather page is of no use to me, and this is why I need to have the PocketWeather tab available.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thank you.

Any way to make a shortcut to a tab that will also bring up that tab on the screen? I made a shortcut to the Programs tab that I assigned to a button, but if I press the button while not in Manila it goes to the Programs tab in the background, without actually showing the tab.
Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I just wrote a 2-line mortscript:
Run( "\windows\manila.exe", "--switchtopage programs.page")
show("Start")

HOWTO: Change Soft Keys with Registry!

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!
