How to change softkeys in touchflo?

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.
TIA

Unfortunatly keyswop deosn't work on Diamond.....

Do you know which app. does

Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key. I don't know about other page yet.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
HomeLSKText - text of the button.
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
I put some screenshort in link below, check it out.

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.

Hi
Just to check, did you remove menu enhancement in 6.5.0.0.5? it doesnt seem to work.
Anyway, fast rom, thanks!

Remap soft keys in TF3D?

IS there a small piece of software to remap the softkeys on the home screen in TF3D? There are several useful functions that could be placed on the home screen other than the default Phone/Programs. I've tried using the Remap Softkeys for WM5 but obviously that doesn't work with TF3D, and I don't want to disable Touchflow just to get altered keys.

try this
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
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.

Thanks very much - worked a treat!

I'm trying to remap my softkeys on the People page. I want FunContact as my primary contact manager launchable from that page... cant seem to get it done with the technique used here... I had to create a new key for it but still nothing after soft reset
any help would be GREAT! Thanks

i second that!!!
default contact is hard to use and scrolling is suck!

Try this link, it has more info about remapping soft keys in Manilla (TF3D) and also (TF2D)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2
or the whole thread which has other good info.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480475
Hope this works for you!

so this is for the right soft key:
TouchFlo 3D right softkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
what do i put in the open "open" part so i can have my contacts open? and for the text to i just set it as "Contacts"?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
its Windows/AppButtons/Contacts.lnk

I can't get it to work
Okay ... I've read all the post that I could find about changing the softkeys and nothing seems to work. I've changed the registry settings as indicated but still no go. I have the TMO TP2. I only want to change the home page so don't need anything fancy. Been updating the registry settings (HomeLSKText, HomeLSKpath, HomeLSKArguments) and can't get it to actually do anything (the text changes). What I want todo is to jump to the Contacts HTC page (really anything other than the Camera - why TMO did you make it Camera?). Any help would be great. Thanks.

[TUT] How to open a manila tab with shortcut

Hi,
you can open a tab with this:
\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage home.page
Instead of "home.page" you can use:
messaging.page
weather.page
people.page
email.page
album.page
music.page
internet.page
settings.page
programs.page
You can also use the shortcut for:
Manila softkeys:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
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.
Example:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "E-Mail"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage email.page"

Thanx for your tutorial,
did you find the name for call log?
I want to map it to Homescreen Call Log, since the built in one looks pretty ugly.

try:
calllog.page
or
callhistory.page

Which means... Anybody could create a today plugin, replacing the bottom scroll bar bar something else but keeping the same pages ?

OK, I tried.
It's callhistory.page.

Hey Sussi
Fantastic... Best hack ever

Could u change the contact tab to another program with this hack?

Hi,
This is almost what I was looking for.
I would like to have a similar solution to add a shortcut to a subpage of Manila tab.
Something like
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage settings.page.sound"
Well, the above does not work.
I would like to add a shortcut on home screen to the "sound" subpage in the Settings tab, so I can quickly switch profiles: normal, silent, vibrate.
Is this at all possible?
Thanks.

btw: I'm sorry! I figured it out a few weeks ago, but forgot to tell you this

No, submenus can't opened with "switchtopage", but maybe someone figure out another argument for manila.exe
"switchtosubpage" or something like that doesn't exist.

@sushilange
Thanx for all your great work! without you guys we would be lost...
I have a little question about pages in manila...
I was thinking that the 'Action screen' in the HTC Raphael might be somewhere in the manila files.. cus the icons are there..??
Just a wild thought
You haven't accidently stumbled upon this??

Oh, this would be very, very cool

This may be perfect for remapping TF3D homescreen softkeys.
How about creating standalone shortcuts? It doesn't work. Anyone tried?

anyone?.............

I have a dutch ROM (1.93) and for me this doesn't do anything.
If I do this:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "Music"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage music.page"
And then click on that button, it doesn't do anything.
Anyone knows maybe for ROMS in other languages than english that the command might be different ?

Can some of this be used to add new tabs to Manila?

Or to change the name and functionality of a given tab?
I tried several Manila ROMS (NATF v3 and v4, Hyperdragon III) but couldn't get used to not being able to customize the screens as I like (say like using SPB Shell and customizing the contents of any given tab).
Further, I have several apps that use a Today plugin (eg Newsbreak, PocketWeather), and I'd like to find a way to incorporate these into the Home page, or to create a Today Plugins tab, or just create a separate tab for each.
The weather tab, for example, is not practical for me, as I live in one city, work in another city, and constantly follow the weather in cities where I (or my wife) are about to travel. So having a single city weather page is of no use to me, and this is why I need to have the PocketWeather tab available.
I'd appreciate any ideas.
Thank you.

Any way to make a shortcut to a tab that will also bring up that tab on the screen? I made a shortcut to the Programs tab that I assigned to a button, but if I press the button while not in Manila it goes to the Programs tab in the background, without actually showing the tab.
Thanks!
EDIT: Nevermind, I just wrote a 2-line mortscript:
Run( "\windows\manila.exe", "--switchtopage programs.page")
show("Start")

Icon Viewer and Change PTT Button Icon

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:
