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.

Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.
seems it doesn't work with wm6. after installing it, the program isnt available in my program.
I really don't understand because of all the screen shots I have seen but today I got my diamond and I only have the double keyed keybord ,but I want the full,usally in the screens shots there is a boten that you press and it changes the keybord.But i don't have it,so I went to settings keyboard and tried changing it to full qwerty,but no luck,can anyone help?
There should be a triangular looking icon next to the keyboard icon when you are in texting/email/document/etc mode. You click that icon, then a list pops up for you to select the input method.
I'd like to think that you've looked through the included instruction manual...
Thanks man,a minute after a posted this thread a have read the manual ,so Im embarrassed to say sorry for posting this

Might not work.. but just a suggestion, try it out if you have the time.
Recalibrate the screen.
Start - Settings - System

It's a long shot.. but hey.. you never know what might work.
tried that...
Hi LordRaj...
I tried that, but still no luck...
If I go to Start > Settings > Input, then I can see the list of keyboards. No matter which one I select it *always* puts it back to "keyboard".
not sure why, i'm using standard ROM that came with the phone.
help!

I have the same problem and there's another thread on this subject. There seems to be a few people now with this but no solution yet. If you look on the other thread, there is a utility called SIPChange which will allow you to make sure you get the "right" keyboard you want as default but in terms of selecting from the little arrow, forget it (until someone can work out which registry entries are causing this).
Gary.

Hi Gary,
Thanks for the reply...
I have been trying to figure it out all day...
Hi Gents, did anyone get this to work, I have also tried sipchange with the same results, it won't stick to any other keyboard other than diamond or builtin

when you say it won't stick, do you mean it changes back after a soft reset? I had that trouble with my current ROM but sipchange fixed it. try increasing the loading delay in sipchange.
I use TouchPal now which sets itself as default just fine - and I can't imagine needing any other keyboard again!

Thanks Davey101, tried the default 10secs, then 20secs and it did not work, after your advice I switched to 30sec and softReset, then 40sec the same affect.
Then I remembered in my Apache their was always a sipchange shortcut in Startup and when I checked the Diamond their was none, so I created one with the Set parm as my Apache, softreset and I am good to go.
Hey Guys
I just purchased and downloaded MS Voice Command 1.60 M2M and every time i try to install it I get the following error at the very end of the install:
"An unrecoverable error occurred in setup. Reset the device and try again."
It does seem to install it but nothing of MS VC works.
Having done a forum search I couldnt see any ideas so, i'm here asking for your help
Any ideas?
If I remember correctly, i'm running the Diamond TLR build ... :/
just tried SK-Tools to delete the old version and resinstall direct from the CAB file .... no luck.
Hi,
can you tell me your EXACTLY version of VC.
On some versions you'll need to change some files.
Hey mate
VoiceCommand_english_intl.exe
Microsoft Voice Command UK PPC 1.60 for M2M
Got it from Handago or something like that today
If I need new files, any idea where I might get them from?
Bit cheesed to be honest, I've bought this software, paid for it and it don't work.
OK,
to get the exact version (1.60.xxxx.x) go to Start -> Settings -> Voice Command. At the right side you see "v1.60.xxxx.x". The x's are the exact version.
VC 1.6 have problems to work since Windows Mobile 6.x. I've made a CAB for the "normal" Touch a few months ago. With this patch I get it also to work on my Diamond.
I use an extremly old version of VC (1.60.4622.0). Perhaps it also works on your version.
What you have to do:
- Intall your VC
- Ignore the error message
- DEactivate VC (Start -> Settings -> Voice Command -> uncheck "activated")
- Install my CAB (you have to copy it first to the Phone)
- Activate VC again

Thats the version that was sold to me earlier.... why are these online shops selling such old versions????
Will try your cab now.... brb
Nope..... thanks for your cab but still nothing .... just hold down button 1/left upside down phone and "dink".
Thats it.
Ahhh,
OK. These "old" version don't assign a key of Diamond to VC. Try to assign it manually in Settings. I use it only with my BT-headset for that. So I didn't assign a hardware key to VC.
Tell me if it works. If it's so, I'll make a new CAB with key assignment to the left (phone up) key.
thats the thing mate. The ONLY key I have assignable in Buttons is key 1 which im assuming is the phone up/left key? As it is, i've assigned this to VC and I only get a "dink" when I hold it down.
edit: seriously .... no other buttons are listed in that screen just button 1

The Diamond has ONLY this one assignable (for long press). The "dink" is OK. Did you try to say something like "help" in the phone? Did it answer your "help" with an explanation of how to use VC?
yeah, tried "help" ... nothing.
I know its not working as on my G900 and tytn before that, a little microphone icon would appear in the bar at the top - its not appearing here.
Hm,
i've tried it now also. There ist no icon... And also no reaction :-(
I never tried it with a hardware button since now. I'll try to get an answer for that. Why does it work (for me) over BT, but not on HW-key...
I'll make some tests, but not more today (tomorrow at 5 a.m. I must get up).
Tell you then my solution, if I get one ;-)

Is it for you OK to get (if I find one) an answer tomorrow?
Sorry for that...

you are not under contract, you are here on your own free will
You help when you like and i thank you for ANY help you can provide, even if its next year!
Hi
I have the exact same problem so im also listening intensely for a solution
Hey Deeds
a few wise people are looking in to this for us. So far, we've tried a custom cab to fix it and also downloading the latest frame work from MS. Sadly, neither have worked.
You can follow the updates, questions and ideas in this thread
great thanks monty!
edit:
ive been trying for a couple of days now, with the same errror message as you.
ive also tried the patch linked to in another thread but also with no succes
and i too get the same ''dink'' sound even though i have mapped the button to VC instead of the default setting.
but it seems that this is the right place for answers so i guess i will just have to be patient
what rom are you using? I currently have the Diamond TLR, are you on a standard HTC or cooked?
and yes, if anyone in the world can solve it, this is the place they will be ... fingers crossed!
using
Rom: 1.93.403.2 danish
not really sure what cooked means ?
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

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

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
