I have been using the FdcSoft Soft Key version 1.3 control panel applet for ages on my Wizard and have it as a OEM package (not much of one...) for including in ROMs. I noticed a newer version is available from the DotFred site - version 1.4. I downloaded this and included it in a ROM, however I noticed that it by default now appears in the Personal Settings page and not the System one as version 1.3 does. I used the drop-down box to change this and it prompts you to soft reset, which I did but it still appears on the Personal page.
I tried this a few times but it never changes so I took the registry key and value it creates
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Soft Key]
"Group"=dword:00000000
and set the Group value to dword:00000001 which should be the correct value and cooked it into a ROM and re-flashed. However it still appears on the Personal Settings page and the registry value reverts to dword:00000000. I then re-cooked with the older version 1.3 and all is well
I know it's not a big deal but I am used to seeing this applet on the System Settings page....
Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers

Hi all,
When I purchased my Touch 3G from Singapore (Starhub) last week with the factory ROM the Today Screen with TouchFLO was showing "Programs" as the right softkey and the programs had the audio manager.
Once I upgraded the ROM to latest provided by HTC website for Asia WWE released date 2009-04-17. The right softkey is replaced by "Camera" and the Audio Manager Icon is not present in the programs.
Is this a bug or feature?
I really liked the old setup and was wondering if anyone knows how to replace the "Camera" softkey back to "Programs" and include the Audio manager icon into the programs.
Or if someone out there has the old version of the ROM.
Appreciate all the help.
Regards
Hi Buddy,
You have to add or edit the Registry Key
You need Registry Editor
1. Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\manila2D\Home\
2. Edit or add SK2 = "Your Own Text"
3. Edit or add SK2Cmd = "\windows\AudioManager.exe"
4. SOFTRESET
It work for me.
Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you cannot go back to the older ROM once you upgrade to the new one. I remember reading it on the download site.
i update my jade too ... it still work with the new rom just add or edit the Registry Key.
I posted the issue to the HTC tech Support, it seems they are calling this the new feature, the new upgraded ROM will have the Camera as default.
The softkeys should be configurable as default.
Had installed M2DC to configure the keys to any application, works like a charm.
But there is no way to get the Manila 2D Program folder to be configured. Anyone out there knows please post the solution.
Hi,
Everytime I soft reset my HD I have the same crappy WM6.1 keyboard as the default one, is there a way to make Fingerboard2 load automatically upon startup?
Thnx
What you need is a program called SIP Change. Do a search for it here in the forums and that does the trick. I have fingerkeyboard as default on my HD
Here is a link to the thread

Click the link at the bottom of the first post
Or for your convienience
thnx! ill give it a shot
Just so you know; I installed SIP Change but it seemed to cause errors with GWES.EXE on every soft reset. Finally I restored back to pre-SIPchange and the gwes problems haven't reoccurred.
Which delay did you enter in SIP Change?
40 or 50 is recommended.
I don't remember what values I used, but I do recall different delays all causing the same error.
I'm thinking now that perhaps it was caused by me not being quick enough entering the PIN-code for my SIM-card and therefor exceeding the set delay? Maybe I'll give it another try and play around a bit more with the delay.
I try "60" is O.K. Or any?
I have the same issue,
I tried 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and still not solved
I have the same issue,

I removed Sipchange and tried the solution based on stilus in the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514960
This solution will really change the imput method according to stilus position but the first time I open the message tool the keybord is still the standard one...
this solution works:
install mortscript
create a script-file in \Windows\Start Up\<any name>.mscr
add this line to your script:
Code:
SetInput("name_of_keyboard")
exact name_of_keyboard can be found under
settings -> personal -> input -> input method
Hi,
I have installed Mortscript and created a file TouchPal.mscr with
SetInput ("TouchPal")
but the problem still remains: the 1st time I want to write the keyboard is still the standard one.
In my Start up I have:
AutoShortcut
CWTimeOut
GAlarm Reload
iLock2
PKG
poulook
sdim
SipInst
TPStartup.exe
TouchPal.mscr
Any conflict?

have you uninstalled sipchange.cab?
it seems that sipinst and tpstartup.exe cause the conflict.
set input to any other than touchpal, then run the script manually - what happens?
if you remove sipinst, tpstartup.exe and touchpal.mscr, then reboot, does the touchpal keyoard still work?
if yes copy touchpal.mscr back to start up folder and rename to z_touchpal.mscr to make sure it is loaded as last app.
if no check out which file (sipinst or tpstartup.exe) you really need.
Hi,
Thanks for your help Egoist6.
I tried to remove sipinst, tpstartup.exe and touchpal.mscr then a rebooted and write a message, the keyboard is standard one but if I change to TouPal it will change and work.
I tried to run touchpal.mscr manualy and it changes the keyboard to TouchPal.
I then copied touchpal.mscr back to start up folder and renamed to z_touchpal.mscr, then rebooted but the keyboard is still the standard one
I'm lost ...
could you add
Code:
Message("Script Executed")
to the script (last line) just to check if it is executed properly.
reset.
do you get a popup window during startup?
another idea. add this as the first line. it will wait 5sec before the sip is set
Code:
Sleep(5000)
SIPchange problem
Sipchange changes the keyboard for me at boot, but then crashes instead of closing. So I get the annpying white screen asking to sond information to microsoft. This happens regardless the delay time (tried several values). Any idea?
thanks

Dear egoist6,
your script worked for me, thanks. But I had to increase the delay to 70000 (70 seconds), otherwise no success! So I use:
Code:
Sleep(70000)
SetInput("name_of_keyboard")
Thanks very much for your help!

Question:
ok, so we only have about 30 shortcuts on our programs tab right? well i added more, so now i have up to 51 shortcuts on my programs tab. i click on the extra ones added and everything goes well until after selecting a primary program to add, it doesnt add.
this is what i did.. maybe i missed a step!
Open Regedit and i went to the following root
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher.
i created new folders 31-51 and inside each folder i created the following strings and dword:
String Values Name: Command
String:
String Values Name: DispName
String:
String Values Name: IconPath
String:
String Values Name: Path
String:
DWORD Value Name: IsReadOnly
Data : 0
Then i went to the following root:
*HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\totalIte mCount.
and i changed the DWORD Data to 51.
i Restarted my phone and i stopped there.
Please advice cause this would be pretty badass if we can keep adding to our programs tab
If you search there is a cab that will set this up correctly, not sure where you've gone wrong, but the cab might fix it!

i searched for said cab and couldnt find it... id love to be able to add more programs, esp ones that arent in the default program group.
As I've started to recover from the distress of the touch screen on my TP2 breaking and am in a slightly better mood! I thought I'd find the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=534596 is what you're looking for.

I tried this cab and it doesn't fully work...
I see the 20 new spots in the program tab, but I can't add any programs on those new spots either. I select a program but it is not added

thanks for your time. ok so i took a look at the link and i havent tried the cab due to the fact that i spend a while manually adding the files in my registry but i did read there post and they did say you have to manually add the program through the registry.. so im going to try it and i will get back to you guys!
Example from the link:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLaun cher\30]
"DispName"="Total commander"
"IconPath"=""
"IsReadOnly"=dword:00000000
"Path"="\program files\tcmd\totalcommander.LNK"
so what im going to do that way you guys can try it if you want is the items in green are the items we will need to add manually.

Ok i Just tried it and it was successfull.. after you manually add the program on to the shortcut "Add" on your registry then due a quick restart and programs will show.
It sucks that you need to spend time on it doh..
I found the way to make the cab fully working... It missed a key to be modified.
Here's what I did :
1- Install the cab (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=202860)
2- Modify this key using a registry editor (ex.: task manager) :
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher]
"totalItemCount" (hex value) = "50" (it was 20)
3- soft reset ... that's it
With this simple modification, the + button are now fully working !

Hi all,

Is there any other way which from which i can restore the settings in start menu?
Thanks to you all in advance...

Some minimum informations are required such:
