Hello Everybody
Is there a way to define the soft key?
Thanks.
Try the attached SoftKey Manager program - or search for "Schaps Advanced Config" (does soft keys and a million other things )
HTH,
Mark.
Thanks Mark
I tried the file but it doesn't help me.
I want to define the "video call" softkey (Phone->video call) to "contacts", do you know how to do that?
Thanks again.
yes, please help - I am looking for that for a long time now!
Thanks
Does any one can help in remap "video call" soft key to contacts?
Thanks.

I have searched the forums long and wide for it and I cannot find it. Is it simly cooked into roms as an oem package or is there an actual cab we can install for those that are using prebuilt roms?
look here

read the first post. I think you will have to create the Long_End.lnk and assigned it to EndKey.exe
this may also be of interest

i'm pretty sure you didn't try the advanced google search. Please use that next time. Searching endkey cab on there gave me a bunch of searches on this thread.

Here you go...
long press delay
is there a way to change the durations of long press?
I think it takes too long for along press end key and long press power keys to work.
I can't seem to find the registry entry where to change.
Any help is appreciated.
thanks

I actually think he wants "long press power key". That is the one that is cooked into numerous roms. If you search for long press end key, or HTC end key, you will find plenty of threads. Long press power key is a different story.
Edit: Ok I think I was wrong. Long press power key is by Schaps. He wants the long press end key mapped to the red end call button. If you install it normally, which is what you get 10000 threads on if you search, it installs it to the right soft key.

All you have to do for any of the long or short keys is change the .lnk shorcut name to Long_Power.lnk or Short_Power.lnk or Long_Send.lnk or Short_Send.lnk or Long_End.lnk or Short_End.lnk, etc. etc. etc.
If you rename or create a shortcut name as above & point it to the program you want to run & then place it in the \Windows directory it will work.
You don't need a cab, or any configuration tool.
I know something much better:
AE Button Plus http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php, you can give any button a long press function of even a double/triple click function.
You can use it for free.
I use the Internet buttons double click for toggling bluetooth, the Email buttons double click for toggling WiFi, the left softkeys press+hold for devicelock and the enter keys press+hold for AltTab.
You know you can do all of that without adding a few more mb's to your system & another startup app. AE Button works don't get me wrong, but it's not for me since I can accomplish everything it does already from the registry. (The keyboard driver contains all kinds of neat shortcuts you can use, you only have to disassemble it to see). It's great for a novice though.
There is another easy way to configure this. (No need to install HTC End Key)
Install Schaps Advanced Config.
Then go to Menu, Key Mapping and choose what you want for Long Press Send Key, End Key and Power Key.

I did this but everything except the first two (left and right softbuttons) are grayed out - I can't change what's there. What am I doing wrong?

Wow - I've been using Advanced Config for ages (consider it essential) but had no idea it handled key mapping. Good to know.
I just tried it on my problem though and it's a no-go. My problem is that HTC End Key is cooked into the ROM I'm using and neither remapping through Advanced Config nor manually adding a shortcut (in this case ArkSwitch.lnk renamed as Long_End.lnk) works - the stupid HTC End Key programme just pops its ugly head up instead offering me a handful of useless options I can't change.
Any ideas? I'm using a 6.5.x ROM so HTC Task Manager doesn't work and ArkSwitch doesn't always open when clicking the title bar, due to the notification drop down, and I need quick access to a task manager.
Btw I use my phone's GPS for work a lot (in landscape mode) so Long_Send is already mapped to Rotate Screen.
Can anybody help?
Hi to everybody and thanks for the precious suggestion I read every day on this forum.
I would need to reassign the hardware button on the left top corner of the phone (the voice command I suppose) to simulate the pressure of On/Off button on the right.
I find its position more usefull then the default one.
Also I wish to assign the call's page to the Internet Button. Hot to do that?
Tried with Spb Mobile Shell but I dont find the name of application to start... may be changing something in the registry?
thanks for this trick.
Best regards and sorry for bad english

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

HomeLSKPath :
String = \Program Files\Resco Explorer\explorer.exe
HomeLSkText :
String = Resco Explorer
Soft reset or deactivate and reactivate TF3D into your today settings.
Hi,
I got away with changing the softkeys in TF3D but how to change the softkeys when you don't use TF3D (standard softkeys)
Thanks

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?
Hullo all,
I have searched the whole theread and I couldnot find the answer so I am asking here from you geneus people.
I have MDA Compact IV and today I wanted to map my some of the keys to function or programmes.When I go to start-->Settings-->personal-->buttons tab.I found there is no button present to be mapped.Please tell me is this the problem with my phone only or diamond doesn't have any key available in the list to map.options I see-
1.select a button (no button is there).It should have listed "Button 1 (Hold)" but not
2. Assign a Programme (always set to blank)
How do I get back Button 1 (Hold) in the list back ?
Thank you so much in advance
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408711&highlight=hardware+buttons
that's the one i use. one button that can be mapped to 3,4,5....programs!
if you'll really search you'll find more options.
just try and search this forum and the "themes and applications" forum for "hardware buttons".
But Button 1 (Hold) is not listed ?

Isn't not true that you can map the keys using Advanced Configuration Tool?
Well, but i aint sure if you can do so "within" an application, instead of on the home screen though.
Try SSmaHO
