Got my new XDA Exec today. Keyboard has a button with the Internet Explorer icon on. When I press it I'm taken to http://pda.o2.co.uk/ which is about as much use as tits on a kipper.
Is there any way to reprogram this key to something more useful? Like Google or something? It doesn't appear in the list of programmable buttons in the control panel Buttons applet.
Perhaps it's a registry entry. If so, can anybody suggest a (free) WM2005-compatible registry editor?
TIA
Not sure about the Exec, but this was the registry edit for the JasJar:
Change hardware PIE behavior:
Go to - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Hardware\OEM\Keybd
Change the string called PieHomePage to the website address of your choice.
If you don't want it to do anything but go back to the spot in IE you left off -
Just edit the dword so that it is blank.
Bonza! That looks about right. Thanks for the info, galt. I'll check it out when I get into the registry.
Now, I just need a registry editor for WM2005. Can anybody suggest one?
Tre. It's freeware.

Nice one! Thank you galt and lautunno: I've installed Tre and fixed that registry value and it's sorted! Thanks for your help.

Many a dialers are proposed : PhonePlus, PhoneExt or MobiDial.NET...
These dialers proposes a mapping on the green key , but this mapping is purely applicatif that it is an executable charged in memory which makes this mapping.
And well here an easy way so that the dialer by default is your dialer preferred and more that which is integrated... For that it's necessary to use an editor of register to the image of PHM Regedit or Resco Regedit then to go to the key :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\RAI\:MSCPROG
and modify the value "1" and take the path of your favorite dialer, for example to MobiDial.NET the value is "\Program Files\mobiDial\mobiDial.exe"
can this same philosophy be used on other hardware buttons? :lol:
Well, I've tried this way, trying to assign the button to phoneplus (even though they already did it) but it didnt work!
I even tried to assign it to the "calc" just to see if it really works, and again nothing.
Are you sure?
Did anybody got that work?
Didn't work for me too.
Shame :?

any thoughts on mapping the green button? i need it
food for thought maybe its not regulated by a "single" registry key.
well the general idea as i understand is that the dialer "cprog.exe" gets loaded in the memory firct probably somewhere in the registry rather than the startup, then the green button gets mapped into it also somewhere in the registry, now if you check this link

you might get some understanding to my idea, please help me with this thing am determined enough but need some experts opinion
Hi!
I got my mda pro some weeks ago. Now i had a strage issue as I hard reseted the device: it showed some items in the controlpanel menu, that were not there before like: GPS settings, Contrast...
On the next reset they were gone again.
Does anybody know, how i can unhide them again? Is there a registry entry? a key combination?
thanks in advance
(please excuse my desastrous english)
just as an experiment i found the Contrast key in the reg, up in the list from the gps fix one
HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\
i added dword Group with dec value of 1, logiclly thinking that would make 2nd tab in ctrl panel disply the contrast key
removed the redirect value there,
powered off, waited 10 seconds, held power and hit reset,
Wow, now i got a contrast option in the system page of settings!!!
only thing is tho, moving the slider has bog all difference, think i'll undo that change and remove a useless applet

Hey guys hope everyone is doing ok today, just got a quick question about the soft keys. I have just flashed my ROM to RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE its an excellent rom and would recommend it!
Just one thing tho i have CoPilot the sat nav prog on here and i like to set it to the left soft key so i can just load it quickly. Since i flashed the ROM when i press the left soft key it says "error opening shortcut or locating target filename" just wondering if anyone knows how i could fix this?
Many thanks
More info required.
How to you set the softkey? program or via registry hack? value?
well i set the softkey through the little softkey thing in settings and co pilot was in the list ok it just doesn't seem to work when i click the softkey. Is it a reg setting i need to change?
That is weird, the softkey software should work perfectly. Unless you move the thing away from the application start menu.
Anyway, take a look at the wiki at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
On the section "Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys"
For your case, set it up using the Softkey application, and go into the registry (with any reg edit software) and look at the value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open
See what is the value being set to.
If it is set to the shortcut, try setting it to the exact EXE file.
Hi Guys,
How can i remap the softkeys of Rhodium-Manila? I want to change the Sofkey "Phone" on Hometab, because it has exactly the same function as the green telephone key, so it's a real waste...

Right & left SoftKeys can be changed using CERegedit while synced to PC, or PHM Regedit directly on your phone.
The keys in question can be found here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
I have mapped
HomeLSKPath to \Windows\tasks.exe
with a corresponding link name at
HomeLSKText of Tasks
There are ways to map to other Manila shortcuts like All People.

So now everytime I flash, I just run this cab to change the registry so I get my preferred home page links back.
There is a limit to what can be customised.
In Settings, I couldn't find a way to change LSK All Settings from connection settup to actual settings. Dutty did it in one of his ROMs.
thnx guys...that works
thats it, cool !! thanx a lot. I switched the left homekey on my TP2 in Bxsteez ROM from phone to all contacts. Much better Who needs a "Phone soft button" ??

Hi Xaddict,
Great stuff, I want to change the LSK to DeviceLock. Changing the text was obviously no problem, but do you perhaps know the path?
I tried what I got from total commander as path: \windows\VJDeviceLock.exe, but that doesnt really work..
Thanks,
PB
is there any way to change google-search bar in manilla from mobile view to normal?
thx
yes there is.
find the registry key
hkcu/software/htc/manila
los of keys in there, find Internet.Searchurl
in mine I have
http://google.co.uk/search?hl=en-GB&output=html&q=%s
the q=%s is important, that passes the search from the box.
with this setting you will get google uk with the full html google page.
edit - if the key isn't there create it.
big thanks to u, there was no key but I added one and it works perfekt... by the way do you know for what the internepush.pushlistchange key is?
no clue.I don't use push and my registry knowledge is limited to a few handy tweaks
