Hey guys I recently upgraded to 6.1 and now I cant find the regedit that allowed me to change the value of the HTC Home plug-in to allow it to be moved from the top to bottom. Can anyone point me in the right direction.
Thanks a bunch

hello hello!
im new around here, so apologies if this has been asked before, ive done a looooad of looking and couldnt find anything, so..
ive just purchased spb mobile shell, and love it! but i was wondering if there was any way to change the names of the menus (for instance instead of 'Contacts' i could rename it to 'Phone Book' etcetera..) that appear as the buttons on the bottom taskbar?
cheers

you should try the spb forum, though i doubt they would give an answer
thats what i thought too!
i had a tentative poke around the registry to see if i could do it through there, but i dont think i can (though, im more of a novice to this sort of thing anyway )
its a shame because its a lovely piece of kit for the phone, i just want that extra kick of customisation!

find softkey applet.
mate, absolutely top notch advice
i guess it helps knowing all the terminology a bit better!
edit: although in other menus (from the now screen for instance, softkey names remain the same!)
Rustynash,
A simple but effective tool called TWEAKS2K2 will allow you to do what you are asking to. See this link for further details. http://www.tweaks2k2.com/
Another app that will allow you to change the names is SKTools.

What you need to look for is: SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl
This is free and a must have! Drop the file in you windows folder and you will notice an extra option in your settings (might have to do a soft reset).
i appreciate all the advice, but whilst these methods are good enough to alter the today screen softkey names, it doesnt go to change the softkeys when theyre in anyhting other than the today screen (in MS for instance, the now screen still shows 'spb menu' when ive tried to alter it to 'menu')
any ideas?

That is because of the program. I do not think there is away to remove spb menu on the now screen.
Is it possible to move your start bar to the bottom. Also can you map a button to open the start menu?? Like the key on the Apache and the new HTC models??

I think you would need something like WAD to move the Start button. Do you have SoftKeys installed? This maps the left soft key to Start.
Thank you I'll check it out. I've been working on alot of HTC phones lately if you know anything that could be helpful with the HERMES it would be greatly appreciated!!

Not too sure about the Hermes, I have an 8125 (Wizard). For the Wizard SofrKeys is a must have app.
hello,
how do i map left and right softkey with helmi mobile 6 ? off course i know i can do it by start/settings/... - but i need another way - since i want to use "menukeyhelper2.exe" - a program that enables applications with non-mobile5-menues (softkey-menues) to use with softkeys!
but menukeyhelper2 does not work with "soft-mapped-softkeys" - on real mobile6-devices-with real softkeys it works.
or is there an alternative to menukeyhelper ?
thanx

Alternate way is to directly map in Registries.
Soft Key Applet

I don't know of any apps that do this. Maybe someone else knows.
If you are doing this by registry the following may help by editting
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Keys]

Hi everyone,
I am using a Dutty ROM which is in my signature, i was playing around changing the start menu icon which i got to work but now when my phone is loading i have a different symbol, now i have the Vista blue circle where as previously i had a grey circle where the dots around it would fill,
I don't even know how it changed and i wasn't even aware the Vista one was on my Tytn II, does anyone know how i can change it back,
Thanks for any help

You mean a wait cursor?
I know there are a plethora to choose from.
Try this program. I think it will better suit your needs.

Ohh all the way, i knew i could count on you, yes it is the wait cursor, somehow my original one changed and i don't know how to restore it, thanks for the program, i will give it a try but i don't really want to install another program unless i have to
Surely there is a way within windows 6.1 to change it,
I will check it out,
Thanks again
Ok, i tried that program and i don't really like it, i can't find my old cursor within it
Does anyone know where the cursors are stored, this is driving me nuts, surely there is a registry setting i can use to change it
any advise will be greatly apreciated
On the home screen of my diamond 2, below the touchflo slider icons i have two links one is 'Phone' the other is 'Camera'.
Basically i want to change the 'Camera' link to 'Contacts' or 'All People' so i can quickly access my contacts.
Im sure this is possible, can any one point me in the right direction.
Many thanks in advance

SoftKey registry is located in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
You have both LSK and RSK path and text.

**Edit, removing program**
tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate
I just find this:

The search continues !!

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.
That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2
thanks for the ideas i will try them out.
This forum is awsome and thanks to everyone for taking the time to reply.

I'd go for FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab it's free and simple a real WYSIWYG application
Have fun,
