Device Lock

Anyway the device lock be mapped to a soft key instead of a hard key? I have it mapped to the messaging button, but would rather have it at the calendar or contacts button.

A little program called WM5NewMenu should do it. It's free, just put it into a google search.

Thx, but all this did was to let me rename the word "calendar" to "device lock", with the actual calendar program still assigned to the left softkey.

I'm trying to get some directions for the program, from doing a little research on google it looks like you can reassign the button with that program, just have to figure out how. I'll look for some direction on the program.

Ok, I figured it out.
Goto WM5newmenu, under "launch by:" select "Left Softkey" Then under "Soft Key Label:" enter your label (ie. "Lock")
Then goto the "items" tab. select "new" then select the little box next to "parameters:" select "windows" then ""go into" at the bottom.
Scroll over to "BSDeviceLock.exe" then hit "select"
Then enter "lock" or whatever you want under "item label:"
You will see the new entry on the left side of the screen, you may have to scroll down a little. You can uncheck all of the other items and just leave the new "Lock" item you created. After that select ok and do a soft reset.
After it resets, hit your left sofkey, you will see your newly created lock pop up. Then just hit the center button on the pad! It locks!! I just did this and it works!!
Hope this helps,

Just found this, it's even better then WM5newmenu:
Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application
Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)
Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” ( you would enter “Windows/BSdevicelock.exe”)
Perform a soft reset
Look in your windows folder to see if you have BSdevicelock.exe if you don't let me know and i'll get it to you.

I did the registry edit, and when I tap the left soft key, I get "the file device lock cannot be opened due to an untrusted certificate, or one of its components is missing." I could NOT find BSdevicelock.exe in the Windows folder. Where in windows should this file be located?

I would like that BSdevicelock as well, if I could.

Its in the root windows folder, you probably don't have it.
I'll attach it as soon as I get home from work tonight!
Just copy it into your windows directory.

BSDevicelock
Just unzip this and place it in your windows folder with the registry change.
Hope this helps!

Got it good buddy! I kept the other items in WM5NewMenu and labeled the softkey "Menu", and changed BSdevicelock in the label box to Device Lock. Now all I do is hit the new softkey "Menu", scroll to device lock, hit the center button on the D pad. Device locks like you said it would! I was able to do this after extracting the BSdevicelock.zip to my Windows folder. Excellent instructions! Thx a MILL! If you discover anything else that's appealing, let me in on it..o.k.? Just found out I could move Device Lock to the top. Now I don't have to scroll down.

I use MortSaver (Phone Edition) which locks and blanks screen and relocks/blanks screen after calls/reminders etc..

guys you seem to me to be making this quite hard for yourselves
use this softkey app to change the softkeys (3rd post)
use this device lock app.
go to start/settings/system/softkey and select the device lock app
and soft reset, softkey changes generally don't occur until after

None of your "this" links worked for me. Besides, I'm content now.

My old simple Nokia 6200 had a feature whereby the keypad was locked automatically without need for a PIN three minutes (selectable) after a call when there was no activity.
Is there any easy way to implement this ? I can map H/W keys (thanks to Molski) but this isn't quite the same.

Is BSdevicelock better than the lock app already on the device in the Windows folder??
The app im talking about is called devicelock.exe on my device. I have an HTC Wizard

I did not have devicelock.exe in my windows folder originally. BSdevicelock is just a little program that simply locks the device. I don't have devicelock.exe, but I imagine they probably do the same thing. I think BSdevicelock is actually installed by the BatteryStatus program. If you have a later version of Battery Status, you should have BSdevicelock.

DredSensor v1.0:
=======================================================================================
=======================================================================
Reviewed on gadgetmix.com: See the article
=======================================================================
If you have tried to play a game needing left and right key on an HTC Touch Diamond, you noticed that they are 2mm wide and if you click next to it, you get back to home page or to dialing menu etc...
So I've written a prog allowing you to lock these 4 keys actions and replace it by classical key event (VK_LEFT, VK_RIGHT, ...).
In that way you can play tetris, and use "Pick-Up" and "Hang-Up" keys for going left and right.
Link ->: DredSensor
To use it, you need:
1) An HTC Touch Diamond (it's the only one i have so i can't test it on other models)
2) Install the .cab
3) Reboot your HTC
4) Run a game (or app or ...)
5) Get your stylus out and back-in, in less than 1 second
6) Click "Yes"
----- A config window opens:
7) Check that Type = "HardKeySimul"
8) Click "Ok"
Now you can use (and eventually assign) your 'Home', 'Back', 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys in that game/app.
Actually, the 'Pick-Up' and 'Hang-Up' keys are always defined as Left and Right events.
Have fun.
Ps:
For people interested, the other "Type" in the config window are:
- "Launcher": allow you to quicklaunch 4 app (that you define in the config wnd) when you double tap (not click, just tap) on one of those 4 keyz
- "Scroll": allow you to scroll the current window by tapping those 4 keyz panel
- "KeySimul": allow you to send left/right/up/down events by tapping those 4 keyz panel

Thx, now I can use opera mini and pie (good for mlb's wap) in full screen

Thank you very much. Great program. Now, with left and right softkey hardware buttons, I can play with my java games.

Do any of them even work on the vga screen?

first of all: great app!
only thing i don't like is that now every time i pull out the stylus the phone vibrates. maybe you could make the "window-catching-thing" optional, so you have to enable it first?!? with that, the app would be perfect to me!
figured out an other problem: the "scroll-wheel-function" in opera and tomtom doesn't work anymore...

Hello.
As it's a background program, making vivrate the phone is the best way i found to easlily know if it's loaded or not.
If you don't like that, you can disable it by manually editing the 'Config.ini' file in '/Program Files/DredSensor':
Go under the section you want to disable vibrator in (ex: "[Default]")
Add: "NoVibrate=1"
For the scroll problem, i didn't change scrolling system from v1.0 so are you sure it was working in v1.0 and it's no more working in v1.1?

is there a wa to map home/back to A/B controller buttons? Trying to get it to work with PocketNester Thanks

Thanks
I will tried

Seems to be good. Shall download and try...

Doesn't work for all hard keys
I have the original diamond and it doesn't look like any of the key presses work.
I could really do with replacing volume and Home/Back Buttons. Do these buttons
support Long press too?

If you go in PocketNester -> Option -> Controller, you can see that it's default mapped to 0xC4 and 0xC3 key codes.
So all you have to set in DredSensor is:
- Home: "Key:0xC4"
- Back: "Key:0xC3"
I tried that on super mario, it works, but the problem is that you can't press those keys and simultaneously press Left and Right so it's quite hard to play...
In fact you can map Volume Up and Down keyz to button A and B and it's much easier to play.

The actual version of DredSensor doesn't change anything to volume up/down buttons.
All it catches is Home,Back,Talk and End hard keys.
About long press,
- In "Launcher" mode, you can define action for "Long click"
- In "HardKeySimul" mode, if you make a long press to "Home", and mapped "Left" key to "Home" button, it will occure a long press on "Left" key.

I just don't seem to be able to get this to work - I follow the first post to remap the home and back keys to the softkeys, but home always takes me back to touchflo.
Are there any other things I can try, or is it just the ROM i'm using doing this?

I don't think it's a ROM problem.
The 2 most common reasons for not working are:
It doesn't work if you have G-Scroll or something similar installed.
When you edit config for an App, this config only applies when "Window Title" and "ClassName" of the foreground window matches what is defined in that Config.
If it doesn't match any config, DredSensor doesn't catch your hard keys.
You can use wildcards in your Config so, for example, if the app you want to configure always changes its title, you can set "*" for window title.

everything gose well in my diamond! Thx!
just a little suggestion : as volume up/down could be very useful in some app (like a game emulator), could you make them configurable in your next version?
nice job!

I make a softreset and works whit no problem, when i click home button open the program i assign.

Doesn't seem to work in Phone screen. I am not sure if it is because it is a dialog class. If this could be made to work, it would be great as when a person has multiple phone numbers you could scroll by pressing right or left key.
Thanks in advance

just tested it with tetris and it worked great. good stuff

I've nothing like that installed - I've tried wildcards, and soft resetting between altering them, even setting the default so that it should catch any class or window so that the home and back keys are soft keys one and two.
It's semi trapping the window and keys.......I just wonder if your app is not being fed the correct window name/class, or there's some extra characters or something that is fooling it.
Here's an example - setting home and back keys to the softkeys, with a config of * for window, and * for class.
On the touchflo screen, pressing home will take it to the phone screen (correct left softkey action), but once in the phone screen, pressing home takes it to the touchflo screen when it should go to contacts.
If I'm in any other application, it never traps the home key, and will always go back to touchflo. Disabling touchflo doesn't change this, it takes it back to the today screen.
I'm using shak's rom if anyone else can confirm they can get it to work using that one

Change lower buttons functions

Hello, In rhodium the lower buttons are "Phone" on the left and "Camera" on the right.
How can I change this buttons to other functions as "programs" or others?
I try with Advanced configuration tools and other utilities but when soft reset all return with original values. My rhodium have Italian rom.
Thanks

Use HD Tweaks works on mine.

Use HD Tweaks with caution.. Some of the tweaks might give issues on TP2.. For one, its a know issue that one or some of the volume tweak would disable sound on your TP2.. There after, you make calls and you can't hear the other side..

Use Touchflo Detacher, you can set the softkeys on the homescreen aswell as in Touchflo 3D to any application or shortcut (ink) you want.

In case you didn't know already, you can also set the Send key as a shortcut as well. Just go Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons

You can remap both soft keys (left and right) the same way: either choose the program from your application list shown in the pull-down window, or choose the application from any location on your device by clicking [...] path search on the right side. This way you can remap both soft keys to ANY program on your device.

with a reg editor you can go for : HKLM->Software->HTC->Manila
Here it is : HomeRSKPath (Write the path of the desired app)
Below is : HomeRSKText (Write the text you want to see in home right soft key).
Hope it can help.

Is there a way to just remove the two soft buttons and have the tf3d icons on the bottom? I am running an auto lock program and the phone button is not needed as I can use the hard button.

HTC Snap (Sprint) Re-mapping Internet & My Circle shortcut keys

Hi.
I was curious if anyone knows a way to re-map the internet browser shortcut key that is on the bottom right of the Sprint HTC Snap. I would like to have it open Skyfire instead of IE. Skyfire is set as my default browser but the button still opens IE. Also, do the same thing with the Mycircle key but change it to open Task Manager.
Thanks.

The file is in \Windows and it's called short_circle.lnk. Just make a new .lnk and call it short_circle.lnk and copy it to \Windows overwriting the old one.

Hi I got the Inner Circle key remapped using both short_circle.lnk and long_circle.lnk.
I am still having trouble getting the internet key to remap to Skyfire. I have tried making PIE.lnk, short_IE.lnk, long_IE.lnk, short_PIE.lnk, long_PIE.lnk. None of these seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

That key may be hardware coded into the keyboard driver. Not sure.

Hello,
i have an German Model of the Snap.
And i don´t Use Inner Circle. So the TaskManager will be the best Applikation on this Button.
But it don´t work.
I Edit the Files
- InnerCircle.lnk
- Short_Circle.lnk
and Change ist to the TaskMgr.exe.
I Restart my Phone, but the Button always Call the InnerCircle Funktion.
What is my mistake?

Christian, instead of editing the Short_circle.lnk file directly, try as follows:
1. Copy the TaskManager.lnk file from your Windows/Start Menu to another folder (i.e /Storage Card)
2. go in /Storage Card and rename TaskManager.lnk as Short_Circle.lnk
3. Copy this file into /Windows
This should work..at least it did for myself.

Hello,
thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t works.
The InnerCircle Key always start the Inner Circle Applikation.
Greetings
Christian

1) use total commander or the likes,
2) change the read-only attribute on the short_circle.lnk.
3) then replace the shortcut with whatever application you'd like to run and save it as short_circle.lnk.

Thanks! This worked for me.

Hi there,
Do you have more info on that ? I have a S521 (Frenchy ass, fruity ass), and the so-called internet key is for Live Mess-enger. I would be really interested in mapping a different function to that key.

Hi,
is it possible to re-mapping also key dedicated for Live Messenger? I try it in the same way, like for Inner Circle (which work correctly), but without effect.

I know this reply is late, but for anyone still playing around with HTC SNAPs:

Yep I managed this one:
do the same for \Windows\Start Menu\Messaging.lnk
I Used Total Commander, edited Short_Circle.lnk to be non read only
Found the shortcut i wanted to use, edited the file and copied the shortcut link (do a select all), then edit Short_Circle.lnk, remove the old shortcut path and select all and then paste. Enjoy your Custom single Button shortcut key
I have Telstra Branded Snaps, and i had to remove the security off the phones before i could untick the read only attribute on the Short_Circle.lnk shortcut.
To remove the security:
Install "Clear Security.cab"
Install and Launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager on your PC
Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.cab on the mobile device.
MS Security Configuration Manager available here:

Please help - can't change the right softkey!

Hi guys!
I tried to change my right softkey from "Menu" to "BT Toggle" (a bluetooth switching program I've already installed) using Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 but it didn't work on my HD2.
When I restart the HD2, the key is changed to "BT Toggle" but after entering the PIN and after HTC sense started the key is named "Menu" again.
I looked into the registry but all is right there, the changes were saved. But why is the new softkey name only displayed before starting HTC sense and not after?
Any ideas?
Best regards,
Oliver

Home RSK
I wouldn't mess with the right soft key of sense.
Only the left.
How would you edit the quick tabs?
If you aren't using sense, only the WM interface, you can edit those SK's.
Did you get BT Toggle to work?
It wouldn't for me.

Using this post by vovichek62 as a guide I used the following process to change the right soft key:
Download LuaDec from here and extract
Copy \Windows\07c67730_manila from device to luadec folder (and somewhere else as a backup).
Open a command prompt there
Run
Code:
luadec 07c67730_manila > 07c67730_manila.lua
Open 07c67730_manila.lua in an editor like notepad
You need to change two functions. The fuction above "SetSoftKey = l_0_0" sets the text for the soft buttons. This is my modified line:
Code:
_application:SetRightSoftkey(Softkey(Locale:GetString("IDS_CONTACTS"), OnMenuPressed))
I think it was originally set to IDS_MENU. That "OnMenuPressed" is the function called when you press it.
So now you need to change that function - The function above "OnMenuPressed = l_0_0". On mine this is now:
Code:
l_0_0 = function()
_application.Navigation:Navigate(URL("Manila://people/browserlayer/peopleAll.page"), false)
end
Now, back in the command prompt run:
Code:
luac -o 07c67730_manila 07c67730_manila.lua
and copy 07c67730_manila back to your device.
If you were up for it you could probably copy some of the left soft key code to allow changing the right soft key in the registry.
Xaddict is right, once you do this you can no longer tweak your home buttons. If I need to change one I go back in to the registry and find:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home\0\IsSet (where 0 is the button number) and change the value to 0. If you then restart manila (or your device) you can change that button. It will still show the old text and icon until you do. I also made a simple .reg which clears all the buttons, attached. For me it was worth this hassle as I could remove the People tab.

Tx fot BT Toggle
Nice one.
Thanks very much : )

all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my dutty rom but gessing its the same for all roms

I am using HD2Tweaks - beats the hassle of backing up/copying manila files, editing registry entries - to assign the left and right softkey at the Home/Today screen.
But the available options are a fixed set.
Telephone (default for left), Menu (default for right), Backlight, Contacts, Contacts List, Notes, Calendar WM, Calendar WM (week view), Calendar WM (month view), New Appointment, Tasks, Messaging, SMS/MMS, Internet, Opera, Camera, Album, Comm Manager, File Explorer, Google Maps, Internet Sharing, MyPhone, RSS Hub, Radio FM, Windows Live, You Tube.
