REMAP buttons on HTC HOME plugin - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

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.

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.

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?

Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.
Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.
you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.
Good Luck

A Couple of Questions for the HD2 gurus...

as a happy HD2 owner, i have the following questions, if possible to be done:
1. Is it possible to link a Facebook Profile to a contact with full finctionality Except Contact PHOTOs! i have good photos of people in address book that i dont want them to be replaced with Facebook photos.
2. is it possible to open a TAB IN BACKGROUND in Opera!! [like opera PC]
3. My Lock screen does not show 3 locks [i.e as in the manual] when there is a message or a notification! it has only one sliding lock showing numbers of notifications. i.e. no direct unlock that goes to messages or so...
4. is there a good SMALL software that can TURN on/off Airplane mode automatically at scheduled times?
thanks in advance....

1. Yes, in the contacts option you can choose whether it uses Facebook, Outlook or another photo for the contact.
2. Not that I know of
3. You click on the main lock when you have unread messages/emails/missed calls and more slidey dudes come up that you can slide to go to the appropriate tab.
4. Probably... can't help there.
thanks alot. as for slides to unlock, nope, they dont come up.
one more question though
5. i cant find a way to "SEND / Recieve " all email accounts at once! each has to be done separately!!!
Sync email send/receive
4. The send key if held, takes you to a menu where you can choose to turn off phone(airplane). It is definitely possible to do it on a schedule. I saw it once but wasn't interested due my concern about power management gremlins.
5. There is an app called email scheduler by Gundensoft, see the website.
You can set scheduling for each account, and turn them on and of when you want.
I know you want a way to do them all at once manually, but I can only offer this suggestion to do it automatically.

When you edit a contact if you click on the area their picture is in the top right corner it will come up with a menu on where to upload the new photo. Hope that helps.

HTC People BUG

HTC People bug:
- When editing an existing contact, I am unable to open the pop-up menu on the phone numbers (actually, I am able to open the pop-up menu on the Mobile phone, but not on the Work or Home phone - didn't try the rest of them).
Do you have this as well?
did anyone else find this error?
sorry, don't understand the problem.care to elaborate on what you expect it to do and ill see if I can recreate it?

Right.
Go to any contact, and then click edit contact (using HTC People).
Tap and hold the mobile number text box. A context menu will pop-up, showsing options the following options: Undo, Cut, Copy, Past, Clear and Select All.
This sort of things, is normal to happen.
Now try doing the same for the last name text box. And for the e-mail text box.
It wil work as supposed to.
Now do it for the Work number, Home number or other text box numbers.
duplicate deleted
ahhh I see it.the menu only comes up for the first entry in the email and telephone numbers sections.the screen flickers as though it knows it should be doing something, but the menu doesn't come up.
Definite bug, well spotted.

I've informed the customer support at HTC about this, but after a series of e-mails, I am affraid they won't announce anybody at the dev. dept. in Taiwan or whatever.
So, in case you get this too, what about posting the error (bug) to the Customer support as well? Maybe they'll put this little buggy where it belongs!
yea illpost a bug report when I get home.I wouldn't hold your breath for a fix tho....hehe

Thankyou

Yeah, I don't understand the logic there either. Although you could just start in your contacts list and select the text message link from there. Still not as intuitive.
Find the person first, then type the message?

Thanks so i guess its not only me that finds this simply problem annoying. I hate it when i make a mistake accidentally hitting the wrong key and need to delete. Would be such a simple process just adding via contact list.

Well... yeah. Go to your contact list, find the person, and you have a centralized screen where you can choose, inter alia, to call, sms, or email them.
add contacts to sms
Assign your contacts a label i.e. home, mobile etc..
This will solve your problem.
You might have to do this individually for each contact.

email signature

does anyone know how to edit the email signature?
It currently says "Sent from my HTC" but i would like to change this.
Go to Messages-Tab, click on "Inbox" --> right softkey --> Extras --> Options --> in the lower right of the screen is a "signature-button"...
Hi,
The following works for me on stock ROM 1.66 (Maeffjus' suggestion doesn't). Go to Mail tab. Press Inbox, Menu then Tools (you may need to scroll down to see this item)/Options. Near the bottom of the screen is a box marked "Signatures". Press this and the box containing "Sent from my HTC" appears and you can now change it. Press OK in top right to save your change. Remeber and do this for each email account in question.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the tip. Its nice to make it more personal.
I'm using a T-Mob 2.10 rom... sorry for the wrong tip..

Hey, it's not wrong, just different. If JamesHillton is on the same ROM as you it will work perfectly .
Seen from this point of view, I will agree and regret my excuse

Thanks for the advice, i was looking in the account settings options and couldnt find anything there. Im also on the Vodafone 1.66 Rom, so your advice was spot on.
Thanks again.
Cool. Glad to have been of help.
Here is how you do this. Its much easier to find with the old interface.
Tap Start > E-mail > Menu > Options > Signatures and then select the account to which you want to add your signature.
Select the Use signature with this account check box, and then enter your signature in the provided text box.
Check Use when replying and forwarding to add your signature to replied and forwarded messages
thanks..but it's look great with HTC logo..can or not?
