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"

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 ?

OK, I tried.
It's callhistory.page.
Hey Sussi
Fantastic... Best hack ever
Could u change the contact tab to another program with this hack?

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")

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
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.

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?
In Touchflo3D, I'd like to replace the contact manager by pocketCM (replacement for the left quick launch button).

I had a look at these keys. But what i don't understand is that there's different tabs, and so different softkeys for each one, and only one value in the registry. So if I manually enter the adress and the name, not sure it will work, or if it does, i'll certainly have the same hotkey everywhere... but i only want to replace the left softkey in the contact tab...

The PocketCM FAQ...
How to add this application as the default contact manager?
Easiest way: download and install the CAB version of PocketCM.
You can also do it by hand:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from :MSPOUTLOOK contacts to "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe".
Make sure that you add the "" on the new entry.
Also...
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSPOUTLOOK
Change "String 1" value from "poutlook.exe" to "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe".
without the "" on the entry.
then reset or re-start your Diamond

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.

instead of writing how people should not help you, you should have taken the time to google. this would have been better.
also you should specify what softkeys you are talking about:
today screen or manila.
anyway, here they are:
today screen:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
manila:
HKLM\Software\HTC\manila\HomeLSKPath
