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.
How to use it?

Hi, I copied the CAB file on Windows directory and then I tapped on by PDA screen. The program was installed but I didn't find any evidence of the program on PDA...
Can you tell me how it works to customize bottom button?
Thanks a lot

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:

can you explain further what you wanted to create shortcuts mate? is it the soft button(left and right) at the bottom. If so, just use the built in soft key customizer in the ROM.
hi brian
i use the key customizer, but when i change it, it's say "error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename"
what should i do ?
thank you

do it this way, lets say you have installed htc action screen and wanted to create a short cut on the left soft key.
open soft key customizer, then select customize.
label anything like NEW or HTCA or anything that you want. (In my case I use new) click ok
Then select the correct path with the .EXE e.g. /windows/HTCActionScreen.exe (I believe it should be written precisely if it's upper case or lower case so correct me if im wrong hehehe)
You are almost done! just select anything you want on the right softkey.
Yes on soft reset, presto! a new short cut on the left softkey!
Hope this helps
ow, i see how it works now, thanks brian
oh, i forgot to mention that calendar, contacts, messaging (in the option) don't work, if i select it then tap the key, it say "error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename"
how can i fix this ?
is there anyway to deactivated the softkey customizer ?
i mean to change back to the default setting
thank you

all the options worked for me. calendar/contacts et al. I personally use it to assign htc action screen on left soft key.
If you want the default ones, just run soft key customizer again then select what was the default key before then soft reset.
that's the problem, the calendar, contacts and messaging didn't work, so I can't select one of them for the right side softkey
Oh well, this is my first problem with this ROM, overall I like this ROM
Thank you
Hey Folks,
do someone of you know how to change the softkeys on TF3D? I want to use on of these for MS Voice command. Now there is the left softkey set to Telephone and the right one to Programms.
Use registry editor.
Go to \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
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).
Hi, and thanks for your last help. My phone is running smooth and fast with duttys HG v.08! I would like to add a phone icon to my quick links (a link, so I can go directly the dial pad), is this possible? Again, thanks. Cheers.
Does the far-left button not do this in that ROM? I only have the stock so can't check.

No, I was wondering the same thing, with taht excellent rom, 'phone' is replaced by 'all people'.
I don't find it very convenient, as we already have 'all people' in the home screen tabs.
I'd appreciate the original 'phone' to come back as the left soft key.
How about the left hard key? the one that by its very nature is the phone key, and brings up the phone pad?
Alternatively, to make a quick link, if you can't see 'phone' when you create a new quick link and select program then the phone.lnk shortcut isn't in the start menu folder, in which case you can create it yourself, it contains the code
18#:MSCProg?tapres.dll,-22555
or heres mine. Drop it in your windows/start menu folder and now when you click new quicklink-program you should see 'phone' listed. (Had to zip it, can't upload .lnk files directly)
Yes, as there's that nice big hardware key "on every tab" to bring the phone up, most find the softkey redundant, thus setting it to a more useful "All people"
Thank you
Thank you all for taking your time. Samuel, that was exactly what I needed. It worked! Now I have a phone link where I use the most. Thanks mate. Cheers to all.

Quick question -- I want to DISABLE the left hard button so that it does not open the phone pad when pressed. Can I do that by removing phone.lnk from the windows folder?
Thanks

sorry not sure how you would do that.
I suspect its not as simple as moving the phone.lnk from windows\start menu
You could maybe try aebuttons and remap the left key to do nothing?

Long press of endkey --> soft reset (w/o confirmation w/o any menu)
If your device has hanged so bad the screen doesn't respond, it most likely won't be able to launch a reset shortcut either.
Just remove the battery like we do in these cases.

There is a "endkey.exe" in your windows folder. Simply find a soft reset .exe (if you don't already have one) change it so that it is named "endkey.exe" and place it in the windows folder.
Job done. Dunno why so many people try and make it so much more complicated...
