[Question]How to change the softkeys? - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I want to change my left softkey[in the today tab of TF3D] to "Camera" instead of ''Phone".
So I used Resco Registry and changed the string of HomeLSKPath to /windows/camera.exe and changed the path of both HomeLSKArguments & HomeLSKText in HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Htc\manilla\ to "Camera"
But it doesn't seem to work? I must be missing something?
I couldn't find Camera.exe under windows either, but resco did find it with a search...

did you soft reset?
you need o set file explorer to view all files. camera.exe is probably hidden.

Haha, So stupid of me, I forgot to restart TF3D. Thanks and topic can be closed =)

Great... I just got the same question... I just wanted to get Contacts insted of Programs...
So I think I can proceed the same way...

install diamond tweak to change it

1st, how do you clear the recent programs that appear when you click the start button?
2nd. can somebody explain to me what you do to edit a registry. download the editer to my pc but then what?
Please use the forums search function. I found a few posts relating to clearing the recent used programs in the start menu. Look at this thread:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325396&highlight=clear+recent+programs
There are programs that run on your pocketpc to edit the registry, Resco Registry Editor, for example.
Search for "ClearTemp".
o.k., found cleartemp, works good, but anybody else for my second question?
I already answered your second question. You can get a registry editor like Resco Editor in either cab or exe form. If its a cab, copy it to your phone and install. If its an exe, activesync to your phone and then run the exe on your computer to install it.
last2kno, do i install the reg editor to the phone and use it there or leave it on the computer and edit the phone that way?
Ramsport your sig is perfect!
Edit: Here is a tip from a web surfing pro! Get Google toolbar, then whenever you see someone say something you dont know or mention a name of a program or a term. Highlight the words in question > right click > Search Google for "XXXX"
You will get answers to your questions in seconds, rather then waiting for a response, hours or days.

Turning off keyboard auto pop-up?

Is there a way to turn off auto keyboard in the registry??
As in, if you click on a field the keyboard does not automatically show?
You'd have to click on the keyboard icon to show.
I find it a bit annoying especially when using MSN Messenger and it keeps popping up and down when changing from contact list to convo.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:
Create or change DWORD TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
Or download & install this cab:
http://4pda.ru/forum/attach/1836803/SIPUpDisable.cab
OR how about this
Use the Gsensor to activate the SIP?
IT would be great to just tilt the diamond forward and have the keyboard pop up then tilt forward past 90 degrees to hide it again
I will post this in the Gsen thread, maybe the dev's can work something out.

sounds great

You should use a propper registry editor. Resco Registry Editor, PHM or the one in the Task Manager 3.1.
Good luck.
anybody try setting this inside hklm\software\windows\messenger live\ or something like that? still pops up in ms.n messenger and this setting is cooked into the rom i am using.
I can't say good enough things about XDA Developers for archiving these threads. This registry hack worked perfectly on my Imagio. So many answers to questions for specific models just keep working on new models and new versions of Windows Mobile/Phone.
And thanks to Kortez for the original reply!

TouchFlo3D - Replace standard functions eg. Contacts, Alarm etc..

Hi!
I would like to change some of TouchFlo3D's default programs.
Homepage:
-Clock & Alarms. I will like to replace this shortcut with Klaxon alarm program.
-Calendar: Replace with ThumbCal.
People:
-All People: This button originally opens Contacts. I would like it to open iContacts instead.
I already tried to change the registry for
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS to \Program Files\iContact\iConctact.exe.
I've tried to search around for information about this, but so far without luck. Can someone help with this?

I used ssmapa to remap the browser soft button. If i choose iexplore (from windows directory) it works but if i try to remap to another browser instaled by me (Netfront or Vodafone browsers) i always got error messages
I don't find any explanation to this
is there another way to do this? SSMaPa dosnt seem to work with the new juicy rom
i have replaced the calander and audiomanager to Thumbcal and S2P, this works when you press the calander button on home or slide to the music tab. did this by by changing the .exe name nding on what you want to replace and copying the folder to windowsusing total commander. just unpack the cab files or copy from program files

HKLMWTF?

Ive never hacked a WM device and I have no clue how to get to the HKLM so I can make changes. Trying to find this information is exhausting so I figured Id just ask and get a simple answer.
Thanks in advance.
registry editor
as mentioned already, it is a registry value (abbreviated)
HKLM would be HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE

Right, that Ive found out already(through my research). However, my question is how do I get there to use it to change things on my Diamond found here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=417873)?
you need an application to search the registry, try googling for PHM registry editor, I use that and it's good.

Well, if you are not that good on computer stuff maybe you should not touch the Registry Editor.
You could use simple installable .cabs to modify your Jewel how ever you want.
Why don't you state what mod you want to take forth and Members here will help you.
Greetings
if you download an exe file like PHM registry editor
if it's an exe you run it on the computer and it use activesync to install
to the pda
if it's a cab file you copy it to the pda and run it there
but as stated if you dont know what you're doing
messing around with the registry is not adviced

Ok, fair enough. I installed the .cab file for the blackberry connect but have no idea where to go from there.
Secondly, Id love to be able to do the things found on the updated diamond tweaks thread.
ie:
Wake Up on New SMS --> HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL : DisableSMSWakeUpEvent <-- set to "1" by default. Change value to "0"
Prevent screen switching off during phone call --> HKEY_Local_Machine\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\EnableFastD ormantDisplayDuringCall to 0 (Note: does not work on all ROMs)
AND (tested and works on EU ROMs thanks to Rod65)
HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\Sleep switch value from 1 to 0
Adjust screen sensitivity: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\TouchPanel
Value = PressureThreshold
Change from the default dword:00000027 or 34 to dword:000000f0 or 240 in decimal
Automatically lock your Diamond --> HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked
Enable Better Power Management
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\SIM_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\MMC_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
HKLM\Drivers\SDCARD\ClientDrivers\Class\NAND_Class
Set DisablePowerManagement = 0 (default=1)
Thanks. Sorry for being such a pain.

Part of my problem is Im running off a mac mostly. I have a PC on the side but I hate using it. I figured thats the only way I can get to the registry on the phone though.
Prob best to install either Diamond Tweak or Advanced config which is like a GUI interface to do alot of the registry tweaks plus alot more.
I would also suggest that you'd get a little more help if you wouldn't use such obnoxious terms as "WTF" in the title of your post.

I didnt realize it was obnoxious. I was trying to reiterate my confusion in an extreme fashion. Sorry if I offended anyone.

Is there anyway to change the Ringtone location?

is there a simple way to change the location of ringtones such as edit the registry?? everytime i change a ringtone it need to send to the main memory..i want to make it easier.. THX
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\RingDirectory = Storage Card\music
How
I am new to this community and just got my first WM phone a couple of days a go, TOPAZ..
How do I use regedit to alternate like shown above???
You can try PHM regedit. It's same like desktop pc regedit.
you can also try the "pocket version" of TotalCommander, there a biult-in Plugin for the registry
Problemo
Hey
Couldn't get it to work, and couldn't actually find the exact HKEY either from HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Rin gDirectory = Storage Card\music.
For me it was identical up till \SoundCategories, but no RingDirectory key. It looked something like HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory
Modifying the Ring\Directory into "Storage Card\music" didn't help either, any ideas what could be the problem?
Also cannot get this to work. Have changed the setting from original \windows\ to Storage Card\music. Can anyone advise on the exact think to type in the space. Even tried adding the \ in front but same results
I tried it as well and didn't work. The strange thing is that I also used SKTools and found this as a configurable setting and it did nothing as well, seems that it was changing the same registry value.
