I used to have this application named "Revamp Softkeys"
I've searched and cannot find it.
Anybody have it?
not sure if this is the same program, but this one lets you assign programs to the left and right softkeys on today screen.
That's it
Thanks!!

On my XDA mini, I had the convenient little icon in the tray (at the bottom of today screen) that was a shortcut to the running programs box in the settings menu.
How do I enable this on the Wizard? I don't want to have to install a whole task manager program, when the one built in works just fine. I just need to get to it easier.
try WM5NewMenu by saman, where you can set a shortcut for this particular setting, among others, through any of the softkeys or the buttons. it's a drop-down menu list, though, not an icon.

Thanks, PHM tray is closest to what I was looking for, but is it windows mobile 2003 only?
I really would just like to have that little icon that goes to the memory screen back. The Magician had this, and I think other models do too.
This is the solution
Create a shortcut that has the following contents
44#ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,4,2?deviceinfo.exe,-103
You can do this by creating a shortcut to any program, then using activesync explorer to find it, copy it, and paste it on the desktop, open it with Notepad, and edit it. Start with a PPC shortcut so that it in the right character set.
Then return it to a folder on the PPC and put it in PHM Traylaunch. It gives you one touch access to the Settings/Memory program. The part after the ? controls the visual icon.
thanks! I'll try this...
though, I am sure this must be possible through some sort of registry setting...
I am digging through my EXTROM on my old XDA mini to see if I can find out
after all this, I just resorted to putting the shortcut in my start menu... it'll do for me I guess... :?
I've attached the link for those who want it.
I like things to be simple. No extra software to install, no complicated settings. Just click it and done!
thanks for all your help guys
Hey guys hope everyone is doing ok today, just got a quick question about the soft keys. I have just flashed my ROM to RUU_Molski.Biz_226102_22610105_022511_G4_WWE its an excellent rom and would recommend it!
Just one thing tho i have CoPilot the sat nav prog on here and i like to set it to the left soft key so i can just load it quickly. Since i flashed the ROM when i press the left soft key it says "error opening shortcut or locating target filename" just wondering if anyone knows how i could fix this?
Many thanks
More info required.
How to you set the softkey? program or via registry hack? value?
well i set the softkey through the little softkey thing in settings and co pilot was in the list ok it just doesn't seem to work when i click the softkey. Is it a reg setting i need to change?
That is weird, the softkey software should work perfectly. Unless you move the thing away from the application start menu.
Anyway, take a look at the wiki at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
On the section "Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys"
For your case, set it up using the Softkey application, and go into the registry (with any reg edit software) and look at the value of
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open
See what is the value being set to.
If it is set to the shortcut, try setting it to the exact EXE file.
Hello everyone, I am trying to create a link on my today screen to the screen alignment program. But I was wondering what the name of the program is called. Was looking through /windows and cannot find it.
I know it's not exactly what you are looking for, but when I had this problem, I would use the button shortcut, which is to press D pad and messages button simultaneously, and that brings you straight to the screen alignment function and then goes back to where you were.
I don't think you make a shortcut to it, it's an API call. If you're desperate for an app I could probably write one to launch it for you.

I am not that desperate for an app. I just wanted something similar to what is present in Ilauncher. But removed Ilauncher because my today screen is way too cluttered. Nevermind, I will find something else. Thanks anyway.
FYI I wrote VJCalibrula to disable the hardware key shortcut to the calibration app. You probably don't need a dedicated shortcut when we've already got a dedicated hardware shortcut.

I am looking for a solution for changing the programs in TF3D.
I tested already the Alt-tab.exe and the alt-tab in Aebuttons.
If you have 3 programs opened these alt-tab changes only to one or 2 programs.
I mapped the alt-tab to the back-sensor button (right button to "Home").
Does anybody knows a working solution?
Me too!
Furthermore, is there any way so set the taskmanager that comes with HD and is only useable in homescreen on a button, so that it works form any open window?
copy the TaskMgr.ink from windows to \windows\startmenu\Programs - It is not beautyful but it works. I´ve set it on long press phone button - bebause I need all buttons as they are
well the taskmgr.lnk contains the html-help to the taskmanager. if you start the taskmgr.cpl you have only a windoq of the running programs. not a finger-friendly solution.
Yes
I would prefer a solution as is already is on the HD on top of today screen. But I don´t find a way to get it to work on a button.
Hey try this one! I like it

Hi there,
I have a big problem with my Softkeys on the X1. By default left and right softkeys are assigned to calendar and contacts... but this does not match with my interests
By changing "left softkey" to "Start Menu" in "buttons" (or "keys", don't know exactly, because I use a german firmware), it opens the start menu... so far so good, but: It always opens the start menu. No matter what a menu says. "Close" e.g. does not close the screen, it opens the start menu
Now I'm useing a tool (called "remap softkeys") and changed the right softkey to comm manager, which works pretty well. Unfortunately I don't know, which command opens the start menu.
My target configuration opens the Comm Manager with the right softkey and the start menu with the left softkey in the homescreen. All options in all other screens which are dedicated to the left and right softkey should be kept.
I hope you can help me

Ok here's the file you need. Unzip and Map the softkey with the prog you have to Startmenu.exe. I am using this as well. The EXE is NOT made by me, unfortunately I can't find the site where I downloaded it anymore... Anyway it's freeware. Enjoy.
Thanks
Works perfectly! This is exactly what i've been looking for.
Thank you very much
You could have a look at X1BC or my X1ButtonMapper. These programs give you a lot more options regarding button remapping and they are small and for free.
