Remap left softkey to lock the phone

i have a remaping app for my tilt , but i cant seem to find the lnk or exe for device lock.
any one can help me on remapping my left softkey to "lock my device"
thanks !

Re - Remap left softkey to lock the phone
Why don't you try HTC end Key.cab, it works great and you don't have to lose the use of the soft key.

I just tried this and the phone lock is not an option on my phone with this. Also when I tried to uninstall this cab my left softkey that is mapped to calendar, now gives me an error, something like, the file 'htc calendar cannot be opened......' Also when I installed it, it changed the color of my today screen back to att default. I fixed this by just changing my theme and then changing it back. Any clue how to make the calendar button work right again?

alright im going to take a look @ that.

What Rom are you using?
Found the solution for you but need to know what ROM you're running.

On your phone, open your registry editor. If you don't have one, get it here. Navigate to HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open. Change the Data String from \Windows\??????? to (This is what a stock ROM should be) \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk
If you have a different ROM, I have no clue. But, I will keep checking for ya.

I am running the stock rom from att. I don't have a registry editor yet, but I will try the one you posted and try to fix it in the morning, when I get back up to work. Thanks!

Good luck, bro. I'd check the link I provided (Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Device Lock.lnk) to make sure that Device Lock.lnk is there. If it is then you'll be good to go. If not, check in other folders for it. It will be in your windows folder or windows sub folders somewhere. Let us know how it turns out for you.

i think that devicelock.lnk is what i cant find when remapping . its not in my windows folder
im using L26 v11 Rom

I am not able to find the devicelock.lnk either, I have looked in the windows/startup/programs folder and it is not there. I looked all through the windows folder also and could not find it although the windows folder itself is quite large and I may have just missed it.

Change hourglass/waiting cursor

Hi all,
already searched the forum and even tried Google, but it's not my friend this time.
I don't really like the standard hourglass on my Raphael, I would like it to be some more in TF3D style or at least without the white background.
I found out you can change it with a Marshall's Waiting Cursor program, but the developer's site is down and there is no other place you can download the program as far as I know.
Is there another useful program to change it? Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
His site seems to be working on my end...
I don't know any other software that does the same. I uses Marshall's program for a while on my Tilt, seemed to be working ok. The occasional glitch though.
Cheers,
Cacti

i second MWC2.

Thanks, the site works here now too. Strange.
I'll try it, since it's the only way to change the cursor. Is it so hard to create such cursors?

Wisbar Advance also has the option of customizing the wait cursor. However it is not freeware.

The cursor images/frames are stored in one of tthe dl's(or dll.mui.*) in Windows folder. Open the dll in PC using some resource editor(PE Explorer or Resource Tuner for example) and change those bitmaps. Copy it to your Windows folder back using Resco Explorer(this is the only one,which can overwrite ROM files) and restart.

Anyone that's using MWC2 ever notice their device randomly turning on?
Last time I tried it my screen would come on out of nowhere. Once I uninstalled it the problem went away.

after you uninstalled it, did your cursor go back to the default?

Any way to skip device setup stage after a rom flash?

Ive ended up with stupid issue here, basically I replaced my digitizer with a cheap ebay one and made a mess of it, so now my touchscreen doesnt work. Ive been ok with that until today I flashed the rom to unlock the phone and the first screen pops up with "Please tap the screen to set up your device" or something similar. Thats something I cant physically do so if anyone knows a way around that I would LOVE to hear it
Cheers.

Not yet
People will recommend using tools such as mymobiler and such, that enable you to connect to your device over the PC using activesync.
It does work, for the first tap only. The screen alignment after that is where you are boned, I find myself in the same situation.
Try researching for registry keys that can be modified, as programs like Soti's Pocketpro will allow you to modify registry keys. I'll post if I find anything similar.

search for and read about "welcome.not". the idea is to create a blank file named "welcome.not" on your storage card so the phone chooses to skip the screen alignment wizard on first boot up.

The "solution" may be:
Try flashing one of Witschey's ROMs, because he does not include neither screen alignment nor apps setup in the ROM, so that you'll access the device after flashing, no need to soft-reset nor anything.
The question is, what are you going to do if you can't touch the screen ?

Well, i can do a few things that I need with it. Use it as a phone for a start
I get a free upgrade soon so Ill go with the hero or an iphone but until then I will need a phone and an mp3 player. You can still kind of use google maps even for GPS its just tricky. I did manage my way around London with it lol.
Thanks for the tips anyway guys, Ive tried deleting the welcome file already today but the device kind of locks after that in that you cant really see any icons, even tried 2 roms with it. I will give that Witschey ROM a go though that sounds like it could be the answer to this.

welcome.not
Welcome.not file worked for me, but I did not put in on a SD card, just in the root of the device after MS does activesync.
My computer<device<double click<paste
Took the battery out, turned it on, presto.
Thanks for that!!
No need to reflash, was cool.

Well I tried a Witschey ROM and its working great! Thank you afn961 for that one. It runs very fast indeed as well compared to the stock T-mobile WM6 I had on there. Only issue I have now is that I cant access some menus without the touchscreen, worst one being the running programs menu so stuff just stays open. Cant win em all though.

quite a few cooked ROMs these days are built so that the screen alignment wizard is skipped and it won't show up unless you invoke it explicitly.
i suggested the "welcome.not" approach because it is known to work in terms of skipping the screen alignment wizard and i thought you wanted to stick to the ROM you had because it was to your liking, else i'd have suggested one of the ROMs mentioned in the first paragraph.
finally, you CAN manage running applications using one of the many third party task switchers. i will suggest "showcase" or "taskfacade". the idea is to map your PTT button to invoke the task switcher. not sure if the following will work properly but you can set the default htc task manager to close applications (instead of minimizing them) when you press OK. so you can press OK to exit the foreground application or you can invoke the third party task manager to SWITCH to another application. that way, you get multitasking AND the ability to close the applications you don't need.
check it out and let us know how it goes, good luck!

Camera doesn't work..i need help.!!

Hi all.! I have a question .. I got my touch Viva to my father (now I have the Touch HD) and now his camera does not work. He reported that it closed a .exe's process from taskmanager (but he doesn't remember it's name). But before everything works, though occasionally had always some little problems (if i open the camera, it occasionally show colored lines across the screen). Now if I click the link from manila 2D or executable link in the start, nothing happens and it seems that there's a software problem. what happened.? how can we solve this problem.?
Pls is important your help i hope that you respond me rapidly..!

1. You can create Ticket to HTC site and will get the support from HK.
2. You can setup your HTC again (Factory setting). Start > Setting > System > Clear Device (password 1234). but this will remove your current contact. will get a new HTC. and hope camera problem will solved by this way!

REACHING OUT TO DEVS! help editing system calibration file.?

ok im having calibration issues when holding my phone in landscape mode. ive dug around and found the calibration file for the accelerometer and other sensors. it will let me change it but it wont let me save it. also if you view it in root explorer text editor it wont show. but if you view it in es file, root browser, or root explorer text viewer it shows as -2 0 0 0. and coincidentally its off by about 2 degrees. the file path is sys>devices>virtual>sensors>accelerometer_sensor>c alibration. it just wont allow me to save the file. any ideas? ive noticed that when i hold the device perfectly level in landscape mode for many many different apps it drifts off to the left. all apps do the same thing. ive put a level on it to be sure lol. ive tested on a brand new tab 4( i think) and its spot on. ive had tmobile send me 2 replacement devices and they both do the same exact thing. i cant imagine it being a hardware issue on all 3. from different batches. im at my wits end.
i understand this may belong in the Q&A section but from what ive been told its not possible to edit this file? is that true? i was told to reach out to devs and see if i cant find anything. i was also told that it was the apps, which its not. any ideas are greatly appreciated.
p.s.-tmo advised that 5.0 should fix the problem....(if thats the case i wish theyd hurry that **** up)
