About 6 posts down in the thread, user "kjk" has posted a cab file which changes the left *(Calendar) Soft key to the start menu. I'm using it and its great.
Once you install the cab it actually copies a "start.exe" to the Windows folder which is what the Soft Key maps to in the registry.
Cheers,
Chris
i suggest you use smartskey. it lets the softkeys function normally with taps, but holding the left pops the start menu and the right is ok/close.
What is that registry location to make changes to the soft/smart keys manually? Goodlink changed my keyss and i don't like it... :evil: :evil:
What is smartskey
What is smartskey and where can i find it?

I only have key 112... Do I need to make a new key or could it be somewhere else?
Yes, if it does not exist, you can make a new one for 113

I've tried searching for it, as I managed to do it before, but I can't find how to do it.
Any ideas?
no, but maybe somebody knows how to do???
I'd be interested in knowing this too!
In fact - has anyone produced a keyboard map for the Universal at all??
We know that 112 and 113 are the "softkeys" - anyone know any others?
it's easy... just delete the keybd\OEM registry key somewhere in the HKLM after which you can remap the key to any app.
I usually search www.yahoo.com in registry and delete the found key.
my exec is dead at the moment so can't tell you the exact registry key...
maybe someone else can
edit: maybe I misunderstood the question.

Can you be a touch more specific?
The wiki contains info on how to change the "homepage" in the registry - is that the key you mean??
I think so.
It's been a while so I'm not 100% sure.
why don't you try deleting it after backing it up?
edit: okay I was wrong... this has been discussed here:

I just looked at that key:
it's called PieHomePage = "www.website.com" (mine's gmail). - It's a Reg_SZ value - I do'nt think deleting it will affect the programe the keyboard activites - it just affects the shortcut (in effect).
Opera gives you the option of setting itself as "Default Browser" - would this be a workaround for this issue?? Anyone set Opera as the default?? Does it affect the keyboard shortcut?
nope, setting opera to be the default has no effect on the hardware key (at least for me) it still jumps to explorer.
you can point that shortcut to a program instead of to a URL.
\storage card\program files\opera\opera.exe
or similar

oooo - interesting.
Hmm - it works, but opens File Explorer too - I guess it's looking for a file to activate first.
Cheers.
in that case point it to the .lnk file
\Windows\Start Menu\Opera.lnk
That may help.
Tried the change to Opera.lnk and File Explorer still launches.

Have a look at Vijay's website, here's a link to his VJKeypress page which has a few others and a link to the full list (although the /Universal may not have all the keys listed).

Greetings,
I'd like to remap the left softkey on the Today screen to go to something else besides calendar. I've searched all the forums and have turned up several apps (vijaytoggletoday, smartskey, and some others) but they all seem to be geared toward either totally removing the soft key menu bar from the Today screen, or changing the behavior of the hardware soft key buttons. I just want to change what the left soft key points to from Calendar to something else. I saw a post sometime ago where someone had remapped it to Comm Manager, so I know it's possible. How do I do it?
Thanks!
SP
Search google for soft key changer.
Also available on Buzzdev.net
Also in a registry hack on the wiki, in the Today keys.
V
what did you find that removed the softkeys all together?
Regarding remapping, look for SoftKeyApplet or SoftKeyAppletEx ..
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\(Default ) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\(Default ) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
gravejoker vjtoggletodayII will remove the softkeys
Thanks guys...
Chaotic, exactly what I was looking for.. .thanks!
Grave, as chaotic said, vijaytoggletoday will do it, as well as DCINoBar.

To access the call log, you can do it programmatically, or use VJPhoneShortcuts.

First you must install "NewMenu", then create a new item, then choose "callhistory.exe" from windows folder. That's easy!

There isn't callhistory.exe in the windows folder.
Try what Vijay suggested .. that should give you shortcuts to the Call history and Speed dial .. then remap one of the soft keys to it ..
And no .. I dont think there's any CallHistory.exe anywhere ..

Great application! Thanks for creating it. This is why we buy Windows Mobile - the customization.
I have change the right soft key to the tmail.exe in order to quickly acces the messages, but can't it be done so I instantanously have created a new message via the right soft key? Any good suggestions?

Try a search for "WM5NewMenue"
its a costumizeable app for the soft keys.
It is very useful.
When i´m at home - i´ll post it.

Hi guys, how can we change the "Phone" and "Contacts" buttons at the bottom of the screen? At Helmi-the greatest-'s WM5 ROM there were little programs to do so.
Anyway, there were lots of little programs and settings at Helmi's WM5 ROM. Where can we find them for WM6 ROM?
here you go...
Thank you raymonds and of course baniaczek.

Change Left Softkey Path and Text:
HomeLSKPath
HomeLSKText
Change Right Softkey Path and Text:
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText

I changed settings/buttons to MS Voice Command...the only one available on the HD is "long press" of the answer button. It works fine to activate MS Voice command.

Hi, I tried this with the calender but I wasn't succesful. I can change the softkey name but the program didn't start. I used different values for HomeLSKPath (\Windows; \Windows\calender.exe) but got only error messages. Maybe I did something wrong?! Can you help me?
Many thanks in advance

I think you are looking for a program like "action screen". Try searching for it! Its from Fabliv and the newest version is the v6.

Yes,
You must soft reset.
Thanks a lot,
I did a soft reset (turn off-turn on). I also see the changed name (from Telefon into Kalender; it's a german version).
But:
If I press the soft key I get a warning, that the program has a unvalid security certificate or could not find or parts of the programm are missing (if I use \Windows\calender.exe). Further ideas what my problem is?
Thanks
Turn off then turn on is not a soft reset. Remove the back cover and poke into the reset hole is one way to do it.

Ok, I thought turn off and turn on is like a reboot of the phone. I use the reset you suggest but I got the same error message.

please check the path andprogram that you have linked to the softkey. Try running that program from start/program and see if the problem is there.
Thanks a lot eaglesteve!
Your advice to put the program into the program tab of tf3d was the solution. Thus I found the regestry entry and also the correct link I have to use. To my surprise it was linked to \Windows\Startmenü\Kalender.lnk and not to the direct exe file in the Windows root folder. After using this path it worked immediately. Btw without any reset!
Change Softkey zu "Sync Data"
Hi,
in TF3D - settings there is the first item "sync data" (in german Daten synchronisieren - Acticesync und Internetdaten), which start directly the synchronisation whis my Exchange-Server.
I would like to put this on my left Softkey instead of "Telefon", but I don't know, which *.exe oder whatever I have to chose therefore.
Does somebody have an idea?

Hello,
try this one for the Pathvalue: \Windows\Startmenü\Programme\ActiveSync.lnk
Good luck.
Thank you very much, but it is not the right Solution, yet.
This opens the ActiveSync Screen, but starts not automatically the synchronisation process.
Maybe there's missing an additional option like ...ActiveSync.lnk -option ?
Just wanted to thank you all for the information; worked perfectly (linked the start menu .lnk item).
