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.
I'm looking for a task manager that I can launch with a hard button with the help of AEButton,
in which I can scroll though my open programs using the scroller not the touch screen and close each in turn or close all.
I've tried a lot and they all either;
- They dont have the facility to use the buttons as a scroller, touch only.
- They cant be launched to open using a hardware button, as in the program launches but all I get is the little cross, dot button appear in the top right of my today screen, not actually open the task manager.
- Or they dont have the facility to close all apps.
there must be a simple little program that does this, and im starting to feel like i've tried them all...
I can distantly remember using a version on RomEOS 1.2.1 but cant find any reference to it, it allowied me to 'check' each program and close them, and launched as an actual program, rather than enabling a cross on my today screen. And it wasn;t HTC Taskmanager.
Any suggestions you lovely people? I think one handed PPC use is they way to go and this is frustraiting me.
Install SPB Pocket Plus
Soft reset
Go to Settings-Buttons
Assign "Alt-Tab" on any button you want.
Press button, see all open prg's and scroll with the wheel to the one you want, press wheel and you are there.
Hi,
ever tried WkTask (freeware) ?
Quickmenu does the trick for me. Much better than WKTask. Also freeware. X button closes the app, gives a PC feel to menus and you don't ever have to use stylus.
Thanks for the replies
tried both WKTask and Quickmenu, but evenually settles on HandySwitcher, turned out to be a bonus that you can customise the colours, since i have a white background and couldn't read the white text on the menu.
Success!
Why wouldn't you use the task switching part of phoneAlarm?
You can set the default function to the switcher and be managing open tesks with 2 button pushes.
I second Quickmenu. Once you click the exe once it'll auto start after soft resets. Goto the settings and customize the startmenu the way you want. I set mine up to have Running programs first and that set to be shown as submenu and then it allows you the close one or close all feature, quickmenu popout second, then a break and then program, settings, and office folders all set to submenus and then my regular programs as links below. I can control it all with my finger or with the jog dial. Retains your windows TSK theme and if you set it to replace windows start menu it is like the other never existed. Excellent program and very lightweight. To fix the text issue I use UI Tweaker. Also helps me match the color to my TSK better. Just my personal preference.
So I just found out about the SDConfig Builder and it has been a godsend on my Sprint TP. I was wondering how everyone did so much flashing between ROMS because I couldn't stand installing all the necessary cabs I use. Everything is running perfectly, I just want to make a registry fix I can run to change all the small settings I prefer. I don't know where the values for these changed settings are, but hopefully someone else does and can help. Once I find the answer, I'll update this post for others. I understand not all of these may be changed in the registry, but any help is better than no help. I will probably add to this list as I think of more. If you think of any others you would like to know, feel free to ask. Thanks
Registry Values I'm looking to change:
*Change Photo Album "ok" to close Albums when pressed
*Turn off "Reject call with text message" in Phone Settings
*Turn off "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call" in Phone Settings
*Turn off "When a call is connecting, open the Notes Application when the stylus is pulled out" in Phone Settings
*Disable "Automatic Prepend" in Phone Settings
*Changing backlight time in the Power Settings
*Change to "End programs by tapping 'X'" in Task Manager
*Change Exchange sync & peak times
*Change Exchange signature
*Disable shutter sound in camera
*Disable Data Connection after not being used for __ amount of time
Currently MMS, SMS & SIM Manager do not scroll (cursor jog) with the D-pad or scroll wheel.
Took out my old WM2003SE Magician & surprise surprise it does.
Any registry values we can change to activate this ?
My current SIM Manager is v6.45 & without being able to select contacts without the D-pad makes it a useless app as using the finger to tap them instantly opens the contact for editing.
Maybe it's time to look at a WM6.5 ROM !
Hello everyone
1. I am interested in keys remapping and changing some defaults in the 826x but don't know to grab it. Always what I wanted was to wipe out Windows Default Dialer/Phone software and exchange it to the Resco Contact Manager. I don't mean to change "Green Phone Button" but to make dialer (keypad) from this software as default in whole "system". After I had remapped (using AEB Plus) Green key to for example to "Favorites" from Resco CM software, I overridden default (important) action of this key as well - accepting connections. My key was calling Favorites from Resco CM but wasn't accepting connections. Is there any possibility to merge this two interactions into one button? Would be greater to set green button default to "Keypad" panel from this Resco CM.
2. After I have remapped some keys using AEB Plus I've lost this sweet Resco Task Manager (is this correct name?) from 826x ROM. I've tried to restore it by mapping it to the XPanel button, but don't know what to set exactly under this button - which executable? I've tried to use app called uTask Configurator but don't know how to use it correctly
3. What may be the reason of fact that I am not able to Map the keys in mine PocketMusic player? In stock rom I mapped my keys for usage in music player, but now when I try to do it - app (PocketMusic) does not recognizes pressed keys? No info about pressed key is showed.
4. How to set "turning screen off during call" or "blocking phone during call" in the quickest way? I need to set something like that, but don't want to use third party apps like S2U2? Maybe there is any REGISTRY method?
Thanks in advance for any replies.
