How to Change the Calander And Contacts Hardware Buttons?

anyone?
Any reg Hack like the jasjar?

not the answers on your questions but don't want to start a new topic.
is it possible to set a default view over the calender?

Re: How to Change the Calander And Contacts Hardware Buttons
OK, I found a trick but just for the left button.
In the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\112
(default) is the string that will be shown
Open is the path to the executable
Have fun with that
P.S. There are really interesting things in that registry - I browsed it a couple of days ago while travelling in the train

113 is the other key. there is an instruction what to change on www.beyondthetech.com/blogs/kjam . Here is a copy of that info:
"In a nutshell, there is an key called 112 under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys that contains two entries: the (default) value, which contains the label that is displayed on the Today screen (currently set to Calendar), and an Open value, which is currently set to the Calendar applet's full executable path, "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (yes, include the quotes). Simply change both values as you see fit and it will customize the left soft key.
To customize the right soft key, you have to create another key at the same level as 112, appropriately named 113. The (default) value is automatically created, to where you would simply name it as you need to, but you must add the Open value and give it the full path of the executable you wish to set it to, with quotes, i.e. "\Windows\fexplore.exe"

I've recently changed mine to compose a new SMS (even if the current focus in the Inbox program is e.g. MMS not SMS) with the left softkey, and TomTom on the right.
Fantastic! No need for the default ones on an Exec as there are hardware buttons for each.
Cheers

The whole point of having topics is to keep the answers relevant to the question, silly boy :roll: Tell you what, let's all not bother with them, and put everything in one nice big thread!

In the interests of knowing, anyone tried putting a third one in and seeing what happens? It's interesting that I needed to reboot the phone to get the changes to 112 to apply, but the 113 works in real-time without a reboot.

There is an application in T-Mobile extended ROM that does the same but through GUI and you don't have to go to the registry (you'll have a new shortcut in System menu).

Registry Tweaks

I've been trying to find the WM6 tweak to rename/reallocate the bottom pair of soft keys on my home page 'Phone' and 'Contacts'. I have hard keys for both so current config is redundant.
The WM5 tweaks (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other) don't seem to be tottally relevant (I have changed my default input device which works fine) as I only have 'Htc_default.tsk' as a sub under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today no 'Keys' option.
I've exoprted the registry (TRE editor) but can't find an equivalent 'key' value to edit.
Is it because I'm using HTChome?
Any guidance will be much appreciated.

?

i use the attached softkey_applet.cab, which is in this forum.
here is a site with other registry tweaks. my favorite, especially useful for the BA with this rom, is the one to minimize pressure when tapping the screen... http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/view_all_tweaks

The pocketPCtweaks reflects the info in the wiki but cheers anyway.
Thanks for CAB will give it a run and post results.
Pressure minimise has made block recognition input faster and much more accurate - A recommended tweak

This tweak works exactly the same like on WM5. You actually need to create those keys.

Hi do anyone know how to create NEW SMS soft key button, which file to link the button to??

1. save the following text to notepad:
10#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body "
emperor83"
2. in the foregoing, the filename will end in .txt (eg. New SMS.txt). rename the filename extension from .txt to .lnk (eg. New SMS.lnk)
3. copy to your ppc
4. use the softkey application to assign it (eg. New SMS.lnk) to a softkey
5. whenever you click on the said softkey, the new SMS will be activated.
* please note that you can change emperor83 with any text you want (eg. Freddie Krueger); it will be subsequently displayed in the message body

Verizon xv6800 MMS not working

Are any Verizon users experiencing problems sending and receiving MMS messages? When I try to send a pic message it says that I have exceeded the file size limit and when receiving a message it seems to be delivered corrupt, the sender isn't readable etc. I was told that HTC Audio Manager effects MMS, not sure how but thats what I've read. I know when I had DCD's clean rom first installed it worked flawlessly, after installing some apps it completely stopped functioning.
I'm currently running DCD's 1.6.8 VZW Rom and Radio 1.40
I have the following apps installed:
Google Maps
1 Calc-Lite
FlashVideoBundle
TCPMP
HTC Audio Manager
HTC Album
Htc Home
HTC BioTouch Cube
PocketCM .18
PocketCM Keyboard .13
HTC Home Customizer
Total Commander
EsmertecJbed
QuickMenu

did u change the limit for sending MMS? Sometime mine has been screwed up, the MMS server info got changed or it added another server that i had to delete. Im having no problems with mine

Whats the path for the reg to change file size limit, if that is the problem? Should be under HKLM right?

It is htc audio manager. do a search and it will tell you how to fix your registry.

Open up your registry editor of choice and expand the tree to this location:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Arcsoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1
You should see at least 3 keys under there:
MMSCSetting
test
WspHeader
Now if yours got screwed up the same way mine did, there is now a 4th string which does not belong named "14080"... it is probably ok to delete this but its not necissary...
In addition to those 4 strings there should also be a couple Keys and a bunch of Dword values. If the first string has a name of "1" and a vale of "14080" lik mine did, then edit the value to read "test" as it should.
Save your changes, exit the reg editor, soft reset and you should be good to go.... you may even be able to download any mms messages that are sitting in your inbox without having them resent.

Was this the reg edit? I tried this out and it doesn't seem to have any effect. I still get the same message saying I have exceeded the file size limit.

i have the same exact problem... mms messages come garbled. did you find the registry fix?

This was the only reg edit that I've found. I'm not sure if its the same registry edit that the one poster was talking about. But I tried the one that I posted and it doesn't work. I still get the same message saying that I've exceeded the file size limit of 1k when trying to attatch an image and when i recieve a pic message it comes up "garbled". Maybe he's refering to another reg edit, hopefully thats the case.

Help anyone?

make sure ur wi-fi switch is turned off
i had the same problem

I dont understand how everyone gets into all this trouble. you should not have to change anything but accept, user-agent and creating a X-VzW-MDN value, nothing else should be changed in the registry. If you hard reset back to the beginning, make the changes, set up your connection (add your number and all) and setup your server info in arcsoft MMS, it should work, then add your other programs and see what is messing it up.

thats just it i didnt do any changes this is just what it says i there
i have done nothing to it just need to know if its right and if not what do i need to change?
thanks,Don

When I had thi problem I had to call Verizon to get a new A Key...or something like that. I had this problem back in December so I can't remember exactly. Hope that helps.

none of the other values should be changed, just the three that have been listed. were they? someone else had been making other changes for internet and others making other changes...this sill work if you start clean...then make your other changes to see what breaks it.

I had this problem and i had to reset my phone to factory specs and reload everything. I then quickly purchased SPB Backup and I always make a backup before i make any changes. That's the best piece of advice i can give on this issue.

To change the Below Two keys of today(By Default Calender & Contacts)

Hey This is a Registry tweak so please kindly backup your registry before trying.
As we know that the below two keys at the bottom of Today Screen by default links to Calender and Contacts.
I needed my below contacts key to load Pocket CM for me which i prefer as a contact manager over the default one and i wanted my pictures on hand so i changed the other key which was calender by default to Pocket CM image viewer.
Following are the steps to change the keys:
Use any Registry editor(eg: Regedit) got to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>>Software>>Microsoft>>Today>>Keys>>
Here there will be two Keys 112 & 113 consisting of Default & Open
So let us Change the Default Contact Key to PocketCM in my case
So the default Contacts key is 112
Make the following changes:
Click on Default & Type "Contacts"
Click on Open & Type "the path of where your program is stored" in my case it is :
Open "\Storage Card\Program files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe"
Repeat the same steps for the key 113 to change to whatever program you like.
Note: I have not taken this information from anywhere and its whole and sole my efforts and no one else's.
i Hope this information is useful to at least the minimum then i would consider that my efforts have paid
Regards Chigz.

well, i think this tweaks knows everyone.
try to use the search function of this forum, you will get many many results...

Ohh sorry..
m a newbiee thought this would be useful anyway thanks for atleast viewin it..

Your intentions were good I'm sure. This info IS in the wiki but thanks anyway for sharing ...
but, THIS is a much easier way, IMO.

Extend you ProgrammLauncher menu

Last night i was playing around with the Program Launcher menu and discovered that you can extend it by simply adding some values in the registry.
The registry key to do all this is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher
Standard the subkeys are numbered from 0 to 29.
You can extend your Launcher menu by adding a new group of 3 empty program buttons by adding 30, 31 and 32 (so new subkeys). Always add keys in groups of 3. So 33, 34 and 35 and so on. Don't know if there's a limit on this one.
A number subkey should contain the following values:
String - DispName
String - IconPath
DWORD - IsReadOnly, dec value 0
String - Path
You can leave the string values open because they are automatically filled in when you add a new shortcut.
Don't forget to adjust the following value also. It's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher/totalItemCount (dword, dec value), change to the max number op empty program places. I tried with 50.
You can now disable TF3D and re-enable it again to see the new empty program buttons or you can simply soft reset your device (reboot windows mobile).
This should work perfectly. But some problem I'm having is, after having installed the cabfile with which you can wipe the first 4 (unremovable) program shortcuts, I'm not able to add any program shortcuts anymore. Well i can select a program which i like in the program launcher as a shortcut, but the shortcut is not added to the launcher menu. I uninstalled the cabfile, and rebooted windows mobile, but the problem isn't solved with that. Some one know a solution to this?

Great tip!
I have the same problem that the shortcuts are not added though...
What does work is to add the path and name manually...
To easily create more keys you can also export 1 key and edit the key name in notepad (increase the number by 1) and import the key again.
I think you need to edit some more keys.
Could it be you need to add the program path as a string value in the root of ProgramLauncher as well?
At least I increased the totalItemcount to 32.

of course you can add the shortcuts manually through the registry, but that's not quite the solution. Are there more people having this problem?

Yeah I have the same problem, I get empty boxes to add more programs but can't seem to make the button register a program unless done manually via registry.
Great find though, Thanks

i use mine own cabfile, works great, to find it goto xperia rom forum, and one of the sticky post is called FTP, by mostberg, goto mostbergs ftp and goto rom, touch x, addons, there you will finjd the cabs needed for top icons, not home atm, so cant post the cab right now sorry, but goto ftp there it is...

Is this the menu you see when long-clicking on the Hang up key?

Deleted. Sorry.

Thanks
Thanks a lot. I've finally reached to remove that "Business mail" locked shortcut on my TD2. I can now replace it by another one !
