Hi,
does anyone know how to change the registry on remapping the 'mail' hardware button? I would like it to open Flexmail instead.
Thanks!
Theresa
I figured it out. there's an option in flexmail to make app default. this option also remaps the mail button automatically to flexmail.
What is flexmail?

It's too bad the SMS integration doesn't work properly.

Please, can someone got to
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113
and post the default value string for me???
goodlink has overwritten mine and i hate using goodlink contacts...
thanks...
Sorry my T-Mobile MDA only has a "112" string under "Keys". there is no "113" the default value for 112 is "Calendar"
brunoflipper: the softkeys can be configured manually or with various hacking apps. What app do you want it to launch? Contacts?

thanks for the response...
i have tried every hacking app i can find but i am stuck...
i've tried to hack the reg but can't make it work...
my dilemma is that i have to use goodlink email for work, but goodlink installs its own "goodlink contacts" and then takes over the contact button/softkey... i hate using goodlink contacts and want to go back to using the default outlook contacts... the goodlink developer is rude and ignorant, they will not help me around using there contacts...
i can still get to outlook contacts via start menu on today screen but i want my button back... even tweaks2k2 won't work as it wants to be directed to a .dll or .exe and can't work from the .lnk shortcut...
please help
thanks
Sorry, I don't seem to have a virgin registry:
Looking at a registry backup, these are the only entries:
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys]
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112]
"Open"="\\windows\\calendar.lnk"
@="Agenda"
However, looking at the emulator, there are no entries at all for keys, so make a backup and delete the whole subkey to see if it resorts to default. Otherwise, just set up your own entries to whatever you want using the above format.

those are for calendar... do you have the reg keys for contacts?
GoodLink
brunoflipper - agree with you regarding Goodlink rep - I too am using it. Think I may remove it. A reg hack be great to remap the keys.
Search around for "SoftKeyApplet" on this forum. It's a .cpl file you have to put in \Windows.
After that go the Control Panel --> System, press softkey and here you go....assign the apps you wanted to your softkey(s)!
Is it possible to remap the buttons on the htc home plugin (meaning the sms and email buttons located below the clock)?
I would like to be able to open PocketCM Contacts when I press on the sms button.
Would this be possible?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
htctoucher
Have you tried to search??
yeah i have tried, just I could not find anything..
I searched "remap htc touch home buttons" and every variant of these words I could think of on XDA and Google.. couldn't find any answers
have any ideas?
or did I miss a thread?
thanks
Martinhdk, I'd say at least answer the question for him. Simple Answer: you can't.
oh well.. thanks for the answer haha

As in it's impossible to get the buttons to map to different things, or it is not really feasible (as in, it would take an enormous amount of work and programming skill)?
I was just wondering about this the other day. I have HTC Touch and I noticed that when I click on the mail button it brings me to my MMS inbox, however I would like it to bring me to my exchange inbox. Is this something which just isn't supported by HTC Touch, or is it something that no one (to your knowledge) has managed to code yet?

Hell, nothing is impossible. Look at what Slither has done with the cube! However, the HOME plugin is hardcoded to link to the things it does. There aren't any registry settings to mess with unfortunately.

Callius:
When you click on the mail button, you should have a menu button on the bottom. Click on it and goto tools then options.
This screen allows you to navigate to the box you wish. There is also a box at the bottom that you can check which says : "display account picker when opening message" this lets you choose from all your accounts.
If you want it to only go to the exchange account, you have to make sure that asterick * is next to that account if not you need to change in the settings and then when you click on mail it will go to that box!
Hope this helps!

How do I get the * , to display next to the account I want. I seem to be missing something

Just de-select the box for display account picker.
Then while on the same screen, touch the account you want to have come up when you press the email icon and that should do the trick!
I can't get it to pick up my email account automatically it just keeps constantly going into SMS instead of email when I hit the email button on the HTC Home. Very annoying! Any ideas?
Is there a way I can create a shortcut to send a certain person an SMS. I have "Wisbar" but the shortcut there only opens up the Text messaging program. Possibly a keyboard shortcut or something else? Thanks...TJ

You can do that using iLauncher.
Thank you "again" EagleSteve, I will try it out...TJ
or try...
Vijay's SMS shortcut tool which is part of his VJPhoneTools. You can even dictate what text to be sent if you want. Here's his site, with more cool stuff: http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
Or, also WM5NewMenu also does this, but I don't know if it works for VGA screens.
I just got my Athena yesterday.
Thank you also Larsuck..I will give it try...TJ
Sorry, but I don't see a Treo 800w area. anyways, my email button all of a sudden does not open the email client. This happened before where googlemaps icon did not open gmaps. works fine then all of a sudden stops working.
How can I fix this?

Did you check to see if the email button is still mapped to messaging in the "Buttons" control panel in settings?

yes. 1st thing I checked. button is set to "email". Email and messaging are different, as far as I know. Messaging is for text messaging/sms appl.

It must be a different between the 800w and the Pro because on my Pro it's set to "Messaging." Does the button work for a different application if you assign it? If so, it sounds like inbox link is broken. Otherwise the button could be physically not working which is unlikely. You could try to do a file name search to look for the 'email' application that button's trying to call and see if you can verify it works separate from the button
Have you tried a hard reset? Back up your device before you do it though.

Winger13 - Have you tried a soft reset already? If that does not help, then the hard reset seems to be the option to try.
I notice a bug in the HTC Sense Mail tab, but I like someone to confirm.
ASsuming you have configure your mail a/c, go to the mail tab, and tap on the email message (i.e. the screen that shows the email content, not the left or right softkey).
it should bring out the mail client, but for me it doesn't. Can anybody confirm this?
I have that problem too sometimes. seems to come and go but I dont find it a big deal since the inbox is accessible so easily anyway
btw Im from sg as well
This is a known problem in the 1.48.XXX ROM.
To make it work again, try to go to the Start Menu and Lock your screen manually.
Somehow if you do this, tapping on the mail icon works again.
