Anyone know how? Thanks BTW, this is the today plugin that shows a few shortcuts (comm manager, battery, etc...) that htc provides on the newest rom that came on my trinity.
*bump*
Edit: Oh wait, I just realized what HTC Homeplug is... I withdraw my bump!

Yes this is possible
It is not pretty hard, but you need to change te register.
Open the register with a register editor (I use Resco register editor).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\.
You will find two maps (2, 3).
If you want to create a new shortcut add a new key (name it "4").
In the key you need to add:
a string LaunchApPath -> point this string to the program
a string ResPath -> point this to the program or dll that contains the icon
a dword iconindex -> some executable files and dll's contain serveral icons. The normal value is 0, but it depends on the exe/dll file.
Example for adding Internet Explorer button.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"
Good luck
Can anyone export and post the reg tree for the plugin along with the DLL its uses?
I would like to install this on my other devices.

Here are the files.
I don't know if the plugin uses more dll files.
Give it a try.
I add RegSvrCe.exe to register the dll if needed.
Good luck.
Excellent - Thanks
I will give this a go later and post back how I get on.
Can you also provide HTCICON.DLL from the windows dir?

What the guy means is that the scroll wheel moves between items in the HTC plug-in so it's easier to use with one hand.
EDIT: Ops I was wrong. Even with the HTC plug-in you need the joypad to move from one icon to another....

You're right, this wasn't possible on WM2003 .
In that case the HTCHomePlug is even more useless
The HTC plugin is easier to use with a finger... Traylaunch has to be activated with a stylus.

Thanks guys. I figured this out the other night and forgot I started this thread. Anyway, what I was trying to do is figure out how to add the "memory" shortcut to get straight to the task manager from that plugin and I finally figured it out. Thanks again
Care to share your method... if it's different from what's already posted.
It's the same...exactly. The only quirk was adding the memory app. I had to have the cpl shortcut....then it was the same.

Yes i use to that as well but the longer i use the PPC the simplier i'm making it, the OS is not stable enough to pile on to many apps. I like things fast simply and able to get the info i need when i need it.
I have also cut down pocket plus to the minium apps.
Close Button:
The close (X) button really closes programs, task manager, etc
Pocket Internet Explorer:
Multiple windows, full screen mode, save as, view source, ...
File Explorer:
ZIP support, encryption, "Folder Up" button, storage card format, file properties,
It also installs the Battery line Indicator
The CAB is approx 645KB instead off 3.733Mb
normally on the "Today" screen we can see "Conn. Manager" and "Battery" icons above the "Contacts" button.
the problem is that how to add/delete other shortcut icons in this tray, like File Explorer or Memory Status.
thanks.
PHM Tray Launch. SPB also does one. I've got VJTrayLaunch, a very very simple one.

Do you know how can I lunch the "VJTrayLaunch" ?
You have to edit the shortcut to point to your installation folder.
My shortcuts point to \program files\....
If you're not using English OS, it may have a different name.
Find where you installed it and make new shortcuts.

How To: add an icon to an exe file

I was able to do this by making a shortcut on the today screen to "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch but there in no icon there...I have been trying to add and icon by 53# "\Windows\clock.exe" -launch?\Windows\clockdll.dll,0 but I guess that is not where the clock icon is?
I am just a newbie but was wondering if anyone new how to add an icon to an exe file? Thanks for reading.
cktlcmd - I don't understand what you're asking for. You want to "activate" phonealarm? In what way? You mean activate its options screen, or add it to the today screen as if you just installed it, or just add an icon to an executable like launching "Contacts" from a button?
Working backwards: generally for making a launcher on the PPC, I recommend claunch. It has issues >= WM5, but is still one of the best launchers.
I also recommend SPB Mobile shell for this.
For adding items to the tray, use PHM Tray Launch. I made an app, but there's no reason to recommend it more then PHM's, which is better.
For adding a today plugin to the today screen, eg to make an icon that will add or remove an item from the today screen, you need to either use a mort script or a registry app and import or remove the necessary registry entries from your Today registry keys.
To "launch" phonealarm, an easy way is to spoof keypresses to the today plugin. Best way to do this if you're not a programmer is to use mortscript to send a key click to the today screen.
Let me know if you needed something else.

Are there any tools or registry hacks available to remap the Inner Circle and Messenger keys?
I can think of more usefull programs to map to a dedicated hardware key instead of these...
TIA
Do you actually need to use the Inner Circle and WLM functions on your device?
I ask because the only way so far which I have found to remap those key buttons is to create Mortscript .exe files called InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe, each pointing to respective InnerCircle.mscr and WLMMessenger.mscr scripts which run the programs you want. You would then drop these into your \Windows folder, overwriting the original InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe files (having first removed the Read-only / System etc. properties from the original files using Total Commander or Resco Explorer). Clearly this will then render the Inner Circle and WLM functions inoperative on your device - not too much of a problem for me as I have no need for either. If you want to regain their functionality you simply need to delete the two .exe files you created and the originals will regenerate from ROM. Note that I found I needed to use Mortscript to get this to work. Simply copying a renamed .exe file of the actual program you want to assign to the button did not work.
I know it sounds ridiculous but none of the "regular" methods for changing hardware key assignments seem to work - I even tried editing the keymap. There is a "Short_Circle" lnk file in \Windows - changing the target of this seems to make no difference. The various registry entries which I have used successfully in previous devices made no difference. It's as if there is some sort of ROM-level hardware association between the Inner Circle key and the InnerCircle.exe file (same deal with WLM).
If anybody can come up with a more elegant solution to this it would be welcomed - I'm a reasonably adept WM user but I'm pretty sure somebody more knowledgeable can do better. If you don't have a Snap then please be a little cautious about being gung-ho with suggestions (!) - I know this is fairly well-trodden territory on xda-developers but the setup with the Snap seems like it might be a bit different. Cheers
P.S. Don't be tempted to delete or disable the Windows Live key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services - this will prevent the Windows Live service from loading, which might be good in various ways, but it's needed for the Windows Live key to work (even if the WLMMessenger.exe which is being executed is running something else).

Thanks for the extensive reply. I've been using my Snap for a few weeks now and still don't understand what the marketing-fuzz of InnerCircle is all about.
The InnerCircle app I don't need, at all. It does nothing that can't be done with a server-side rule. So no issue that it is completely disabled in the OS. Messenger is a nice to have for occasional use, but a dedicated button is just a wasted button IMHO.
I'll check out your suggested solution.
A link to the task manager instead of the inner circle prog would be cool.

Can you explain how you did this? I tried the following techniques (which have worked with previous WM phones) and none of them worked:
1. Changing the target of Inner Circle.lnk
2. Changing the target of Short_Circle.lnk
3. Fiddling with the keymap file (although I'm not sure I exhausted this fully).
4. The situation with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys doesn't seem to be the same with this device as with my previous WM devices.
It's almost as if there is a direct rom-level association between the button and the InnerCircle.exe file - perhaps this is not the case with some of the other Snap ROMs. The only way I was able to "remap" the button was using the Mortscript method I explained in post #2 of this thread. I recognise this is an inelegant solution and would welcome a better method (although it doesn't really cause me a problem as I don't need Inner Circle or Windows Live Messenger - in fact I'd rather they weren't even on the phone, I'm sure they will be removed when we start seeing cooked ROMs).
Im kind of a noob to WM.. so is it possible to explain it slightly more detail what needs to be done.. such as creating a mortscript exe.. i just want to remap the inner circle key to the task manager btw
Hi, I am a newbie to WM. Would like to find out whether there has been any other ways of doing this remapping? Thanks in advance!
hallo i'm using omnia pro and having the same problem here, need some expert advice.
I already tried the AE Button plus but it's seem to not recognized the button I want to re map (PIE and WLMessenger button)
i got the same problem with my htc snap. anybody knows how to change the wlm and innercircle keys?
maybe some of the rom cooking experts can write a rom or cook into next rom?
Custom ROM already has it, in parts
Guys.
ookba has done some button customization on his roms.
Long-press power button will bring the Quick List menu.
You can change though settings:
- Press Inner Circle: default is CeleTask.
- Long-press Home: default is Quick List
Check the ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551642
I'm waiting for a version where we can change the Messenger and Mail/SMS key also.

Cris
For some reason I cannot set (remove) the flags "Read Only" and "system" from InnerCircle.exe....Either with Resco Expolrer and Total commander, both applications seem to properly change the property flags, but when I check again the file properties, the "read only" and "system" are back.
So I am stuck with remapping the Inner circle button.
If anyone has some advise, that would be great.

Bump! (I know it's an old thread). Anyone find a way to remap the messenger key??
It seems to me the messenger key somehow is hardwired to launch \Windows\Start Menu\Messenger.lnk. Let Messenger.lnk point to your favorite application and it gets started by the messenger key. This solution is not that elegant since it clutters the start menu, but at least for me it works.
Have fun,
Erik
Hi,
how exactly did you update Messenger.lnk? What did you wrote as a path? Some special characters?
EDIT: solved, I forgot to put double quote. Now it works also for me.
on my HD2, (Freyberry ROM), under settings > personal > the folder "INPUT" is gone, (no more). It was useful when you have multiple keyboard (as I has the standard input keyboard and TouchPal).
Somebody knows how to make re-appear?
Thanks
Saulo866
I mean via a registry tweak?
Or by adding a cab?
Otherwise now I have no way to select the default keyboard.
For example, if I would like to revert (even temporarily) to standard keyboard, then I need to unistall Touch Pal...which is not a desirable thing to do.
Any suggestions are welcomed!
Saulo
Simply delete the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input\Redirect
Soft reset, and the Input settings are visible again!!
(Works on the HD at least )
Thanks Cycled.
