Change Softkey in Diamond TF3D - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

Can anyone advice how to change the Softkey for TF3D to Contacts?
Thanks!

Hi,
You need a registry editor then, go to HKLM\software\htc\manila
in this path you can edit name and link for TF3D softkey.

So what is the link to contacts. Do u know?

HKLM >>> software >>>> HTC >>> Manila
the left softkey path is : HomeLSKPath
and the name will be : HomeSLKText
the right softkey path is : HomeRSKPath
the text to appear will be : HomeRSKText
example the link to contacts is : windows\addrbook.lnk
and u can put this in HomeLSKPath and name test as CONTACTS

Cool.. Thanks bro! Got it. Cheers.

Those links are for the "homescreen". What if I wanted to change text while in the phone screen?
Thanks,
Mark

Right now there is no solution for this.

That sucks... but thanks for the update anyways..
Mark

Thank you sir
Thanks Mahmood!
I looked all over for this one and your explanation was straight and to the point. Thanks again!

Can anyone tell me why the softkeys can't be changed? Obviously, our cooks have forgotten more than I'll ever know but for as much as they know, why is it possible to modify all our ROMS but they can't change the softkeys?
Can anyone explain why this can't be done?
Just curious.
Thanks,
Mark

There you go....

Ok, I want us to stick to one post if possible, for tips on how to in.ex make the HTC Home to work on our native languages.
If you have sollutions that works, post it here. (If you find the sollution in another post, give credits, and link to the post)
I found this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107
Here it explains how to rename the mui files in windows so that the HTC home will work:
I did following
Installed Total commander
I went to windows folder, I selected all files and folders, then properties, unchecked "read only"
Then I renamed
HTCHome.dll.0409.mui -> HTCHome.dll.0414.mui
HTC HDlg.exe.0409.mui ->HTC HDlg.exe.0414.mui
HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml -> HH_0414_WeatherCities.xml
htcbtql.dll.0409.mui -> htcbtql.dll.0414.mui
(0414 is the norwegian countrycode)
then voila, HTC Home on my norwegian wm6

or searching this forum
what country are you from?
Netherlands, Dutch.
I can't find it with Google?
Omg tnx!!! Its working!
I have just downloaded the 10 button comm manager, but my wireless isnt working. Can some post the right device code from the following registry key?
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \SOFTWARE \HTC \CommManager \WLAN] = " \\ Windows \\ WLanMgr.exe " "DeviceName" = " {98C5250D-C29A-4985-AE5F-AFE5367E5006} \\ TNETW12511 "

I can't even install the 10 button comm manager, not enough rights?
Anything I can do about that?
Now, thats weird. I could install it without any problems. Just accept any security warning and install it to the device. Don't know any more ways to "fix" it?
Which one did you install?
Do you have a link to it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320239
that one
Doh!
I forgot i had my cable attached to my Herald, thus enabling comm manager, thus not installing.
With no cable attached installed perfectly.
Could you please please please look at that registry entry for me? I need it for my WiFi button to work
I installed this and changed the codes to 041D (Swedish) and my Herald wouldnt boot again.. I had to reflash it with the Wm6 RUU.

u need to kill Comm Manager before u install it. If Comm Manager is still running in the background, itll give u that error. Close it properly first.
Btw the 9 button with 3g comm manager seems to be working fine. Wlan works on my herald (htc wm6)
8 Button Comm Manager with working wifi
If you don't want the Comm Manager with 3G use this one here.
Updating my first post
I'm using these cabs for HTC home on my P4350.
Five Tab HTC Home
HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab
Six Tab HTC Home
HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.6Tab.schen.N2A_WeatherPatched.cab
More info here.
I've tried the Wizard_reTOUCHed_Dialer2.cab for the new dialer, but could get it to display correctly, but it uninstalled fine.

How do u change large globe icon in internet tab?

On the o2 rom the large globe is a blue colour but I want to change it to the more earthly colour as shown in the official HTC rom. Is this possible please and how?
Thanks!

The 'globe' is an image file \Windows\O2UK_Portal.qtc which is referenced by the lines
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\O2UK_Portal.qtc"
FocusImagePath="\Windows\O2UK_Portal.qtc"
in \Application Data\Manila\InternetPortal-en-gb.xml
so if you have the image you would like to substitute just point the DefaultImagePath etc. to point at it.
Note, this is where you get rid of m.yahoo as well if you like, just substitute it with google/pda or whatever.
EDIT: yes this does work - I just tried it
If anyone has the HTC Black globe images or something else nice to go with the HTC Black theme I'd like to try it.
HTH

Great so we just need the original globe image file from htc rom. Can someone please provide. Thanks!
The original is here:
Code:
DefaultImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner.qtc"
SelectedImagePath="\Windows\HTC\Assets\Images\InternetPortal\banner_selected.qtc"
It should be sufficient to change the entry in the xml-file.

I guess from the OPs question that he has a U.K. Ignito so unfortunately not so in the O2 ROM, there is no ~\HTC folder and no default banner.qtc apart from the one I posted.
Not all "Diamonds" are the same
D'ya like this one?

I would like to help out, but on my original HTC-ROM isn't an HTC folder either, so I have no clue where the xml-file is pointing at...but I sure have the globe.
Correct I have a UK ignito - O2 rom. Cozzykim your world rocks

I can't find the folder \Application Data\Manila\ , let alone the file InternetPortal-en-gb.xml. It is most vexing!

I am using Total Commander on an Orange 1.14 ROM Touch HD
EDIT

Nevermind, I did a bit more forum searching and found the right file to edit.
It is 27c65cbd_manila in \windows\ (for me anyway)
i've tried this and failed.I have however deleted the original opera file in the /Windows directory.Hated opera didnt want it so bye bye
Plus all my favorites have gone from the globe screen,All it has is launch browser and the globe.I did exactly what you said to do
I have an HTC Diamond with Sprint and have a couple of questions.

Registry Library Help

I have searched for list of registry keys in the manila folder . Somehow I accidentally deleted some of them .The ones I need are the ones having to do with the weather. Any help would be appreciated.
Could you please elaborate a bit more, like for instance list the registry hive you refering to and which version manila / rom. I could make you an export of my registry if you say which hive but without more info it's hard to provide much help.

HKEY_Current_User\Software\HTC\Manila\ ? Everything that is listed for weather. Some how is was deleted
Okies then,
Here's an export of the mentioned key of my registry, it indeed contains some settings related to weather:
Code:
"Weather_Focus"="United Kingdom"
"Weather.PostFirstRun"=dword:00000001
"Weather.CurrentCity"=dword:00000000
"Weather.CityList"="ASI|TW|TW018|TAIPEI,EUR|ES|SP008|BARCELONA,EUR|UK|UK001|LONDON,NAM|US|WA|SEATTLE,EUR|FR|FR012|PARIS,ASI|JP|JA041|TOKYO"
I'm currently running Dutty's WinMo 6.5 R4 rom so you might wanna check if you can directly import my reg file. It would be savest to delete the lines you dont want to import. To import download the attached manila.txt and rename to manila.reg, then import with an app that can like registry editor or total commander. Obviously you can edit the values in a text editor before importing if you want, this is the default this rom comes with.
Good Luck, hope this helps fix your problem.

Thanks for the reply ,but I think the registry is different from rom to rom . Im running Duttys 3.9 turbo . It has an extra line starting with barcelona , london , seattle , paris , tokyo

Change keyboard layout

Hi,
I just flashed to NRGs rom, and as far as I can see - everything is working fine.
Anyhow, seing how I'm Swedish, I need to be able to write special letters like äöå.
Is there a special reg. key for the Rhodium for this?
Or a cab to install?
Thanks.
I would be also interested in such a cab (if this is possible?)...
German keyboard layout would be nice too ...
To change software layout
1. start
2. Advanced Config (if not installed you have to...)
3. change to the right layout under Input
To change hardwarelayout special key's
1. open a registry editor
2. browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
3. change "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt" to "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.807.kmap.txt" (standard country code) files are already in windows folder
To change qwerty to qwertz
1. install Keys remapper ( here)
2. Start -> Settings -> System ->Keyboard Config
3. Menu -> add key -> press y -> Action -> Emulate key press -> z -> ok
4. Menu -> add key -> press z -> Action -> Emulate key press -> y -> ok
5. update config
thanx for the instructions - worked perfectly for me!
you're welcome
ok great and here is the cab file for nordic softkeyboard and swe hardware, the hardware might work for other nordic lang to, otherwise follow the above steps in earlier posts
To change hardwarelayout special key's
1. open a registry editor
2. browse to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME\KeyboardLayouFiles]
3. change "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt" to "07FF"="eT9.Rhodium.807.kmap.txt" (standard country code) files are already in windows folder
Do you know where can I get a Country list. Or do you know "Portuguese Brazil" Code?
TKS a lot.
Is it possible to exit the .kmap.txt files themselves (or copy and edit the copy) to change the behaviour of 1 key? I want the mail-key to behave like a Tab (just like on the Kaiser) but don't want to go through the trouble of replacing a driver for just that 1 key.
