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

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?
Sory to ask such a dumb question, but I have tried and tried and could not found the solution.
After upgrading to Panosha Light 5 rom, when I press the phone hard button I get a screen to dial, where the left soft key is programmed to "hide keypad" and get to "keypad" again.
I would like to have here instead of "keypad" a shorcut to "contacts".
Where can I change the left soft key?
Open registry editor and go to \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Edit "HomeLSKPath" value and type in the EXACT location of the program you want to launch (includung capital letters) e.g "/Program Files/xx/xx/xx.exe"
Save the value.
Then edit "HomeLSKText" and type the title of the softkey eg "Contacts" or some other text that you want to show for your LEFT softkey
Save this value
Close registry editor
Soft reset phone
After soft reset, the LEFT softkey should now show new title and link to the program that was set in "HomeLSKPath"
Harder than I thought, hope it works. Thanks.
In Touchflo3D, I'd like to replace the contact manager by pocketCM (replacement for the left quick launch button).
Does anyone knows how to do this ?

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...
Hi do you have a black skin for the diamond, I just found a white one (with the correct resoluton).

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 :

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"?
Perfect! I now have the Comm Manager available with one touch. Thank you!

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. However I am not able to adapt to the registry. The content of the "Agenda One-month.lnk" is #"\Storage Card\Program Files\Agenda One\Agenda One.exe" goto month
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.
I have tried searching for a long time on this because I know I've seen it before, but I can't find it anywhere.
Where is the mapping of the right soft key in the registry? I'm using itje's Touch-IT v3.01 and can't find it anywhere. I don't want the right soft key to be the "Today" screen, but any changes in settings do not "stick."
Hi
Use Advanced_Configuration_Tool_v3.3
Remap softkeys

ADC doesn't change the TF3d right key very well..
It's better to change the registry keys.
Use a decent regeditor (I use fdc taskmanager)
go to HLKM/software/htc/manila
the right and left softkeys are there.
You need to put the complete path to whatever file you want to access and enclose it in ""
HtH
Ok, so I got there, but I really don't want to map it to a path. I just want it to function like the left soft key, but on the right. I looked at the values of the LSKpath, but it is blank too.
If I changed the registry value to "<Right Softkey>" like it is called in settings-buttons-left key, would it still work? I'm a rookie with the registry although I am trying.
And I have the fdc task manager now.
try this little app, works perfect
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505
Yeah, that tweak app lets me assign something else, but I want the right soft key to be context with what I'm running on the screen.
... but still good work! I love your ROM.
do you mean the right Hardware key then?
Yes. Sorry for any confusion... I am talking about the hardware key.
In that case again there's a reg key that you can change,
but have you tried it in the button settings control app? as I've just tried it and it works here using Itje's rom.
<Right Softkey> is one of the options and it sets it fine. Not tested to see if it sticks after soft reset but it works.
anyway reg key is HKLM/software/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C3
using the buttons settings control panel changes
Flags to 14 (decimal)
Default (blank as in nothing there)
