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?

I Agree, the only advantage is that you can use the plug-in with your scrollwheel. That is not possible with traylaunch.

not at all... with scroll you can go into traybar and after u can use joypad to scroll application there.

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.

no, you can use scroll wheel to activate it and after choose application with dialpad not need stylus... HTC plugin use a lot of useful space in today =)
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.
Hi there, sorry for the stupid question.

Hey, thks.
Appreciate it very much
This will, instead, open the phone app when you slide open the phone - which I personally think is better.

if you start to key a number you go to the phone app even when you have the pop out menu
so I don't see why disabling it

is it possible to disable both quick-tasks and the phone menu?

I second this! is it possible?
Yup it's possible.
Need to terminate 'ASLauncer.exe' in one of the Running Processes.
This will stop any application to run when u slide open the phone.

then it will disable the function that answering a call on slide out?
cant it be done by altering a registry key?
anything on this?

You need to have mortscript installed in the main memory
can this be done with the slide actions app?
if not you can get it to do other things instead
It works!
Thanks!
Hey,
I put the files exactly where you say to.
And it doesn't work.
I can manually start kill.exe and it will work
but for some reason it won't auto run on reset.
Can you give me full paths ?
Im running the latest Niki Project ROM from here, 6.1 professional
thanks

Hello,
The Run.mscr should be put in the \Windows\StartUp folder.
The Kill folder should be put in the \Program Files folder.
Simple fix
Hi there,
Also posted this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359887 but for completeness here it is again...
I just got my Niki a couple of weeks ago (with T-mobile in the UK) and this has been bugging me too ever since.
I figured that there must be a registry setting to control this somewhere as the Keypad Quicktasks are able to adjust this behaviour. Last night , I finally found it.
The setting in question is:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Biotouch/ActionScreen/Check
With the Keypad Quicktasks on, it is set to 1. With them off it is set to 0 and will instead launch the phone app.
Simply set it to anything else (e.g. 2) and both the Quicktasks and the phone application are disabled upon sliding open the phone. The active slide event is still recognised and sliding the phone open will still answer an incoming call.
Sweet.
Nope.. the slide open to answer call still function.... can always restart ur phone if anything abnormal.. then the ASLauncer.exe will appear again.. and ur action when slide open is as in operation again..
Is it possible at all to do this?
Would be really nice
you have to change it in the registry.
some one on here will be able to tell you what bits to change.
i cant as mine is set to something else and you have to
set the right path and mine will be differant to what you want.

I can do better than that. I can point you to the cab I made of the relevant changes so all you need to do is install this one file!
Great job, but do tell if the video call button would come back or not if I uninstall the Cab file.
If not how can we bring it back if and when I want to
This freeware program is a great alternative. Includes a reset to default command.

i got a kinda similiar problem..except i wanna change my left soft key which now says TODAY SCREEN to watever da the default was..i think it was PHONE on my tf3d home screen..the reason it says TODAY SCREEN was after i uninstalled the phone alarm cab i was left wit dat..now i cant figure out how to change it back..i tried da fantasticbytes softkey manager didnt change anything..so if anyone can help or point me to right link link..really appreciate it..thanx
Can someone give me the registry path, so I can choose witch programma I like to map?
I have the new 2.03 ROM installed but want to change the dailer softkeys.
Thanks
You would have to find out a way to edit the DLL from post #4.
Unlike the softkeys from the homescreen the softkey on the dialer work totally different.
I didn't realise we were talking about the dialer when I posted above!
You can change the Left Softkey to the default contacts application (iContact BE on my phone) by setting the following registry DWORD to 1:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\LSKContact
Cab file attached (my first ever)
Also, you can drop this file in your Windows dir. Just overwrite the original with Total Commander or Resco.

What does this DLL do?
Now I have standard Windows Contacts or Pocket Informant, but I want iContact set as default contact button. This because in the phonepad I can't switch to second phone number when using smartdail...

What does your cab file do?

It just sets that one registry value, changing the left soft key of the dialer to "Contacts".
This launches the default contacts application - normally pOutlook but it should be iContact if you have installed it.
I installed the new iContact 0.9 and now it is default contact manager
Thanks

Thanx both of you, with the little program from "azahidi's" link i succeeded to use my WiFi, thanx guys your great
Now the only thing is to see how to Unlock ROM and put another one on my phone
Orig WiFi program as supplied with windows can be found using file explorer- Windows folder then scroll down till you see a file"WLanSettings" with a small picture of a PDA next to it.Highlight this file then select copy. Navigate to where you want to install, click in the window. Choose paste shortcut. Next, if you want, rename shortcut. Copy result, navigate to the folder you wish to place the shortcut in (ie settings?), paste. Close explorer, go to start menue, navigate to shortcut just created, should work

Thanks for the suggestion. I already found these WLanSettings, but it still isn't exactly what I'm after. When I launch WLanSetting, next I have to turn on Wireless LAN, wait...because my access point takes a while to appear in the list, because of the waiting period it doesn't "auto connect" anymore, so I have to press "change network" and select it manually from the list with detected access point...Hold it...
Thanks again !! because when trying this (at this very moment), "Settings" appeared in my task manager (after pressing "change network"; this opened Configure Wireless Networks). Through task manager I was able to see what exe-file was behind "Settings". It's "ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,17,2". Thanks to Google I just found out that putting 33# before ctlpnl.exe (without a space!) and saving this as .lnk works perfectly!!!
