i have changed the HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeRSKText but the HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeRSKPath haslost it's defult path (Programs tag in Tf3d). how can i restore the defult files???
.../homersktext is what you read on softkey, ..../homerskpath points to the apps you want to map (have). originally may depend on branding, mine pointed to H3G operator...point it to what you need
To restore to default shortcut just keep them blank (Empty value), it will then show Programs for right softkey & Phone for left softkey.

How do I set these to point to apps I want? PI2007 has hijacked them for itself - but I'd like to have one allocated to PocketCM (Nice software)
Can't find the option in the settings (or am I just blind?)

I'm not sure what you're talking about, but search this forum for Softkey Changer. With that you can easily change your softkeys.
Just place a shortcut to PocketCM in the Programs folder, to be able to select it from Softkey Changer. (Only shortcuts from the Programs folder are available in Softkey Changer)
Thx - I'll look into it
Is there anyway to change or rename the two softkeys when touchflo is enable?
I use keyswop software but I think that only changes the default softkeys in windows not in touchflo.

Works fine.
does anyone have the path for contacts ? i dont find it, and the poutlook.exe does not work.
thanks
...and I need the path for "Phone"... for back to original state...
For contacts, you have to edit the 3 keys describes by sudboy :
HomeLSKArguments (or HomeRSKArguments) : modify value to "Contacts"
HomeLSKPath (or HomeLSKPath ) : modify value to "\windows\poutlook.exe"
HomeLSKText (or HomeLSKText) : modify value to "Contacts" (for exemple)
It works fine for me (Previously I always got an error message about trusted certificate ....)
For "Phone" the file is "PhoneAgent" (\Windows\PhoneAgent.exe) but I didn't test this one

For some reason this does not work for me. I've replaced path and text with my desired choice, and it does not load my desired program although the text shows what I want. I have the paths correct, tried other programs, still nothing. I've left arguments blank each time (maybe that's the fault?) but I don't know exactly what goes here.
I did a test, and changed everything BUT text. it still loaded camera, even though the path was pointing to another program.
any help appreciated. thanks!

You have to restart. If the path is correct it will work.
yes I've restarted. anyways, I created a thread, it seems sprint users are affected by this issue of it not working.

Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
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.
hope it help
I try this, thanks
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

Before posting this, i'd already search on PocketCM faq... not a noob...
What I want is changing the softkey on Touchflo3D interface : it has nothing to do with softkey on Today's screen.
I think shonan70 was closer to the solution.
Finally found the solution by myself :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407777
A little app that allow to change default apps in TF3D by the ones you choose...
It rocks !
Well, after snooping around trying to find out how to change the kaiser's soft keys using registry only, I finally found the solution after peeking into PocketCM's registry!
Here's how to do it:
1. Using a registry editor (I prefer PHM RegEdit), navigate to the first left one, which is:
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
You'll notice two strings there: "Default" and "Open" (no quotes).
"Default" is the name of the left soft key, so if you wanted the left soft key to say Internet Explorer, just change the value of of the string to say "Internet Explorer". "Open" is the path of the file you want to open when you click on the left soft key, and it has to be an .exe file! So, if you wanted the left soft key to open Internet Explorer, you would change the value of "Default" to say Internet Explorer instead of Calendar, and you would change "Open" to \windows\iexplore.exe. That's it!
Now, for changing the right soft key. The interesting thing is, that it seems you can only change the path of Contacts to open a different application, although some programs allow you to change the name, so it must be possible to change the name. Anyway, to change the path of the right soft key, open your Registry editor, then go to
Code:
HKey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
now, edit the value of 1 to the path you want, and it must be an .exe!
That's it, let me know if I missed something!
Thank you so much!!!!!
It was the only way I could change the left soft key in the new V10 ROM by L26!
Not even SwopKeys was working.
The only thing missing is the name of the right softkey, can you tell me how to change it?
The other soft key is (on some devices)
Code:
HKEY_Current_User\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113

lol, thanks, I was trying 111 and 114 for some reason, good to know!
In my latest custom rom for myself this is the registry setting I made in my kitchen....works great...
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113]
@="Contacts"
"Open"="\\windows\\iContact.exe"
This was placed in the rgu located in the OEM_Lang_409 folder.
Just some information...This rgu contains all the key settings so you can change them to what you would like while cooking
Any idea on how to change the left softkey while in phone mode from "Hide Keypad" to "Contacts"?

I want to change left key to run Agenda One's month calenda. There is a link file "Agenda One-month.lnk" in the Agenda One's directary to show how it called.

so in registry how should it formated ine String value?
"\Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe goto month" doesn't work.
Anybody help?
I would like to know how to map the soft keys found on the HW keyboard- seperately from the outside soft buttons.
This is kind of a small thing, but when I remap the Buttons in Settings I thought it would be nice if the button icon reflected the actual program to which it was mapped or an icon of my choosing. I know, “picky, picky, picky”.
I noticed that in the various keys there is an icon sub-key which lists the program and an offset value where the icon is located for that program.
All that you have to do is enter the location of the icon and the offset.
Easy, except that the offset is not always the same location and the icon may be in something other than the .exe like a Control Panel applet (.cpl) or .dll or you may want a different icon than the standard one.
The solution that worked for me was to use a program called RViewer by Vicott Wong to look at the icons. He also has an icon resource file that has some sample icons in it that you could use. There are some other resource files listed also.
http://www.ppcsg.com/index.php?showtopic=80127 for the program and a tutorial.
His program will extract icons and do some other stuff but all I wanted it for was to find where the icons were in a .exe, .dll or .cpl. which his program does and allows you to browse to find the icon and the offset. He shows in his tutorial how to change shortcut icons also, which may be even more fun than this.
I wanted to change three icons.
The first was the envelope on Button 2 since I had mapped that to a [Toggle Screen] process which is included with Wisbar Advance 3 by Chris McKay. (http://lakeridgesoftware.com/ ) This turns the screen completely off when desired.
The [Toggle Screen] was controlled by a WAProc.exe program in the Programs folder but it had no icons I wanted to use so I chose the one from Backlight.exe in the windows folder. In the “HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2\Icon” sub-key I put “\windows\Backlight.exe, 101” in the String Value.
The next one was Button 6 which I assigned to Comm Manager and assigned the String Value “CommManager.exe, 101” in the 40C6 Icon sub-key.
The last one was button 6 (Hold) which I assigned to Voice Command. The 40C7 sub-key didn’t have an Icon sub-key so I just copied and pasted the one from 40C6 and gave it a String Value of “\Windows\VoiceCommand_PPC.cpl, 1” (Of course, no quotes used in the String Values)
WARNING: Once you start looking at all the different icons available you can easily waste a couple of hours just looking around.
Here is the result when I go to Buttons on settings:
