Hope this is the proper forum. I am posting here because the thread that interests me was posted here.
AT&T Tilt
Found a thread referencing a way to remap keys on WM phones. Only way I can describe it is a reference to Log_Send.lnk, Long_PTT.lnk and similar modifications(?).
To date, I have ben unable toget any modifications to work except the Long_Send.lnk file attached to the thread. Probably because I have no idea what I am doing. My confusion starts with the quote below within the thread.
>>What I did was find the shortcuts that I want to use for the send and end >>button. Copy those shortcuts and rename them to the above names.
It seems apparent I do not know how to find 'shortcuts' I want to use. If, for example, I want to map Calendar to Long_End.lnk, how do I find the shortcut?
If, for example, I want to map Wireless Manager to Long_End.lnk, how do I find the shortcut? (Yes, I realize I have used 'Long_end' twice.)
If there is an easier/newer way, I am open to suggestions.
There are many easier ways than the one you listed. You can get Schap's Advance Config to map the buttons or even any button mapping utility such as AE Button Plus.

i found some registry mods in wiki to get the BA to display first name last name in contacts but it says that you need to have cproghook installed.what is that and where can i get it?i tried a search in the forums but cant seem to shed any light on my query.is there someone who could lead me to the right direction?[/i]
I too would like this information and the thread starter is one up on me since I did not know there was a Wiki for this subject.
BTW - I am on MW5 if that matters [knowing my luck it will].
anyone?
cproghook has something to do with the phone application, in the Thread "a new button to quick dial" Mamaich gave us a little app that gives you a contacts button in the empty button in the dialer interface. You best look in that thread for some info on cproghook, since that has to do with some first/last name as well, but only in that little app! perhaps you have used it in the past and deleted it and the registry is still pointing to that program? For changing the order of contacts in the default contacts program, have a look around at this forum, I posted the link to 4 cab files somewhere that gave you the ability to choose how to display contacts. just search for "first name", "last name", "company name".
Ok my guess is that there is no registry for PTT to work. Does anyone know what I have to add in the registry to make PTT work. I still get the PTT alerts and hear when people try to contact me but when I hit the PTT button on my Tilt the damn Task Manager comes up. I can't change the program it opens in buttons because the PTT option is not on the list. So i believe the registry is not there. Please help I'm paying for something I can't use and I really need this feature. Hope some of you tech guys could assist me. Will donate if it works.
I'm not having that problem but I would be interested in knowing if there is a way to alter the push to talk button. I would like to set it up to be used for something else.

Which ROM. A lot of cooks disable the PTT button and reassign it. Please search the forum... this topic has been covered.
No it hasn't been covered actually. I manually search through so many pages, used the search feature and to no avail. I know their are ROM's with the PTT built in to the ROM but I love Schaps Rom and don't want to switch to lets say Dutty's. No Offense. I still hear when my buddies PTT me but I can't respond because the PTT button is mapped to Task Manager. If I try and change the mapping I don't have a Push to Talk Option. I think something needs to be added in the registry and if I knew I'd not be doing this right now. Based on my topic and the amount of views It looks like no one seems to know the answer. How about this, if you can find the "topic" I will Paypal you 20 dollars. Deal?
and KB cherry there is a thread with some CAB file downloads. Theres a cab so you can remap the PTT button for whatever funtion you want. If you can't find it provide me your email address and i'll attach the CAB file so you can just drag it to your desktop. send your email addy on a private message.
If it's there as you say & it's jus Registry related take a look at my old Reg dump text. It's a .txt, so you can use the "find" feature for "PTT".
i appreciate your help man with the link of the REG dump file. And for the last person who said it was already covered while you're looking for that post to prove me wrong slap yourself in the back of the neck for being ignorant and providing no help whatsoever. Waste of a post
Ok i'm looking at the Registry Log and I'm using Schaps 4.31 with the built in registry editor. I cannot add a new key because there is no option to do so. I only have the option to Open Path, Copy Path, View, Refresh,About and Exit. Should I be using another registry editor
Yeah the registry editor is schaps 4.31 will not let you add keys. I just download FHM reg editor and it works fine. Still working on the PTT fix. When I get the fix i'll post it on the forum. A cab file would be nice to have.
I have tried a search but (I think) because it requires too many search terms I have been unable to dig up what I want. As per the thread title I want to replace the phone shortcut on the bottom left of the touchscreen with a contacts shortcut as I have seen on a screenshot of a cooked rom. Is this available somewhere as a cab or hiding somewhere in advanced config...? TIA
Look here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
Got it thianks. Did you know where to look or search? Be curious to know what search terms you used if you searched.
Edit... Found it in advanced config. Had looked under tf3d, display etc but no joy. I had previously noticed the keymapping option but didnt realize that it included the soft keys. Lesson learned.
I wasn't sure where a good place to post this would be and haven't found a thread in the Raphael or Diamond forum on this topic so hopefully I don't get flamed for starting a new thread. I asked 4 days ago in "Let's see your ATT Fuze Screens" thread on how to edit my dialer skin to make the number keys transparent so I can view my wallpaper behind it so it flows with my theme (this was after a screenshot from someone with a dialer I want and have not been able to find). I did not get back a response. Maybe I posted in the wrong thread. I am a noob, but I am trying to learn how to do things for myself. I have read the wiki and countless threads (yes sometimes the entire 200 pages), used search function within threads, within the specific forums and within the entire xda site. Alot of results come up and none are helpful. Maybe I am not using the right search terms. In any case, I've tried to find a dialer I like, but to no avail, so I would like to try and create my own. Yes, I would like to just be able to install a cab and be done, but I am willing to try and figure it out on my own with some guidance. If someone could please point me in the right direction to do this (maybe the files I have to edit and I can try and figure out how to do that myself from other threads) I would be very greatful. I would like to have a transparent key pad on the phone screen and the screen when receiving a call and be able to place my own wallpaper behind it (Need landscape as well since I have the Fuze). I think this is something others would want as well to keep there personalized themes consistent. If this thread is redundent, please point me to the existing thread.
Thank you.
Since nobody else is replying, I will at leas share what I know. Using your phone's file explorer, navigate to the device's "windows" folder and look for the two dialer .bmp files named "Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" and "Assets_Dialer_Pressed.bmp". Those are the two files that you need to edit or replace to get the dialer to your liking. Note: there are also other files named similarly "_Assets_dialer_Normal.bmp" etc. so don' mistake the files with the underscore at the beginning of the file name. I hope this points you in the right direction. Be advised that the biggest obstacle will be finding a way to overwrite those protected files. Good luck
IM ACTUALY IN THE PROCESS OF CUSTOMIZING MY DIALER..
IM SKINNING 'UGGALO_x WHITE S2A CDMA'
customizing the dialer is no problem. the same as skinning any of the rest of the display, to get around permissions issues just use Total Commander CE to overwrite the existing file.
transparency is a problem as the dialer pad is comprised of bmp files and as such there is no transparency like you would find with gif or png (unless someone has found a transparency color and i've just missed it).
it may be possible to use your current background image as the background of the bitmap to overlay the buttons onto, thus giving the appearance of transparency. this of course comes with the downside that if you decide to change your background you would have to change your phone screen to one that matched. in addition it would not be just the files mentioned by tx_dbs_tx that you would need to modify in this scenario as the dialer only takes up the lower... oh, 3/5ths of the screen? you would also need to modify the "Calls and Contacts" / "All Calls" / "Speed Dial" fields and the field where the number you are dialing is displayed. i am not presently aware if this has even been attempted yet.
personally, i have only attempted a color change to the dialer to date, but have been successful with that. if somehow nobody else responds before i can check on the unknowns above, i will come back and let you know what i find.
Thanks
Thanks to everyone who replied. I will try and see if I can mess around with these files. I found a dialer to use for now. See thread below. I need to figure out what files are for the slide to answer screen in portrait and landscape and the dialing screen (the screen when you make a phone call). I think that is all of the screens associated with the phone. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I can't upload the zip of the files. Just go to the thread above to download and break down CAB
Yes, I managed to get the PTT button removed. Got me two new buttons now, but the ones I want to use I cant configure.
I am trying to get the Voice Speed Dial assigned to button 6, but for some reason the program is not listed in my Assign a program menu?
Simple fix for this, I have spent four hours looking through the forums, google and every other page on the net that has anything to do with this stupid phone.
If you know a fix for it please post it, don't post a search here or go here link...
from the windows mobile 101 handbook...
generally, any program that has a shortcut in your Start->Programs listing will be listed in the available programs to map to buttons.
simple answer is to first make sure the Voice Speel Dial is available from Start->Programs. if the link is missing there, make a shortcut to Voice Speed Dial manually and drop it in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs. then, assuming you are using Settings->Personal->Buttons to manage your button mappings, it should show up so that you can map it to a button.
these are basics really, so i will still suggest more reading and searching even if you have specifically asked otherwise.
good luck!
