Remap left softkey on Today screen?

Greetings,
I'd like to remap the left softkey on the Today screen to go to something else besides calendar. I've searched all the forums and have turned up several apps (vijaytoggletoday, smartskey, and some others) but they all seem to be geared toward either totally removing the soft key menu bar from the Today screen, or changing the behavior of the hardware soft key buttons. I just want to change what the left soft key points to from Calendar to something else. I saw a post sometime ago where someone had remapped it to Comm Manager, so I know it's possible. How do I do it?
Thanks!

Search google for soft key changer.
Also available on Buzzdev.net
Also in a registry hack on the wiki, in the Today keys.

what did you find that removed the softkeys all together?
Regarding remapping, look for SoftKeyApplet or SoftKeyAppletEx ..

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\(Default ) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\(Default ) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx
gravejoker vjtoggletodayII will remove the softkeys

Chaotic, exactly what I was looking for.. .thanks!
Grave, as chaotic said, vijaytoggletoday will do it, as well as DCINoBar.

I want to say the incoming and outcoming call list. Thanks

To access the call log, you can do it programmatically, or use VJPhoneShortcuts.

Nobody know which is the .exe file that start the incoming/outcoming call list ? Thanks

I dont think you can get to the call history using an exe file .. has to be done programatically ..

I think I already indicated above, VJPhoneShortcuts.

First you must install "NewMenu", then create a new item, then choose "callhistory.exe" from windows folder. That's easy!

There isn't callhistory.exe in the windows folder.

Try what Vijay suggested .. that should give you shortcuts to the Call history and Speed dial .. then remap one of the soft keys to it ..
And no .. I dont think there's any CallHistory.exe anywhere ..

Touchflo3D softkey remap?

Is there a way to change the softkeys within TouchFlo 3D?
I have the Touch Pro, and with a remap app i can change the softkeys when TF3D is not running, but a s soon as you launch the TF3D the two softkeys are set to "PHONE AND PROGRAMS".
Can this be done with a hack, or anything in the registry?
Your help will be greatly appreciated.
regards
Rich

Yes, there is an easy way to do this - though it took me a long way to find it.
;-)
I used the latest Version of AdvancedConfig (v3.2, see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151) and changed these settings via Menu -> More Setting -> Key Mapping, namely left and right softkey. In my case I redefined them to iContact and ThumbCal, which are relabeled in TouchFlo 3D correctly and automatically.
Hope this help's you.
Cheers,
Uwe

Woooohooooo.
Many thanks for your help, works a treat.
Cheers

I guess by editing manila files only. I don't know any other solution for this.
BTW, Advanced Config and TouchHD Tweak dont' work for Rhodium Manila, can't remap softkeys this way.

How can i remap the softkeys in rhodium tochflo3d? Is there a solution?

Advanced Config V3.3. Under menu and more settings you will see the softkey remapping menu.

softkey to "PROGRAMS"

I would like to map the softkey to "PROGRAMS", it there anyone know the path or registry value? Thank you.

Have you guys forgot that there is a search button on this forum?
1. For editing softkeys on the home tab, use either Advanced Config or Softkey Manager (unless you want to edit the registry yourself). SM is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414405.
2. For editing softkeys on the other tabs, your best solution is using SS MaHo. This will not actually change the softkey itself, but it will "overwrite" it with a label so that it changes what the button does. It works just fine. See thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493810.

Can't get my SecondToday on the Left Button

Hello,
I want to have on my TodyScreen on the Left-Button, a button, to access the App SecondToday..
But it doesen't work!
I've tried these to ways:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313171
As I searched in the Registry, the Keys are setten, but nothing happend!
I maybe reseted the Phone, 5 times!
The left Button, only says "Alle Kontakte" (the german phrase for "all contacts").
What am I supposed to do?
[Is it maybe because of the tf3d theme "Orange"??]

Try Softkey manager http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2485292#post2485292
Use HTC mode

i "as a monkey" followed this info reported in diamond tweaks:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCAlbum :
i left homelskargument and homerskargument empty
note SecondToday is different than secondtoday...
hope will works

Ok, never mind.. I've installed the HTC Black original Theme, and now it works.. No Problems
Now my real problem is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2904703

Manila 2D Softkey shortcut to another tab?

you can open a tab with this:
\windows\manila.exe --switchtopage home.page
Instead of "home.page" you can use:
* messaging.page
* weather.page
* people.page
* email.page
* album.page
* music.page
* internet.page
* settings.page
* programs.page
You can also use the shortcut for:
Manila softkeys:
31. Remap Manila softkeys:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Example:
HomeLSKPath: "\windows\manila.exe"
HomeLSKText: "E-Mail"
HomeLSKArguments: "--switchtopage email.page"

I found the above in the Diamond forums, so I was wondering if there is a way to do this in Manila 2D and change the Home tab softkeys to link to another TAB (ie, Programs, Internet, Contacts) , instead a program. I know you can use Manila 2D customizer or simply make changes in the regitry if you want to change the home softkeys to link to an App, but i'm talking about another tab here.

*bump*
I wonder is there really IS a way. : /

i dont see why one would take the time to make this possible...
it takes what, half a second to scroll thru all the tabs

Hmmm, they made this feature available in TF3D, so I was just wondering if there was a way for it on TF2D. I have Camera as my default, so I wanted the Programs tab instead. Thanks for sharing your personal opinion.

Oh, it's definitely possible. My NFSFAN VZW 1.10 ROM had the M2D programs tab as the right softkey as default, on my Vogue, but I'm not using it right now so I couldn't double-check it. Did you try the Diamond forum thing? I'm not sure if you need to swtich the name of the .exe, but it seems reasonable that the two programs would have similar functionality.

wrong place for questions
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you

How to remap the rhodium-manila softkeys?

Hi Guys,
How can i remap the softkeys of Rhodium-Manila? I want to change the Sofkey "Phone" on Hometab, because it has exactly the same function as the green telephone key, so it's a real waste...

Right & left SoftKeys can be changed using CERegedit while synced to PC, or PHM Regedit directly on your phone.
The keys in question can be found here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
I have mapped
HomeLSKPath to \Windows\tasks.exe
with a corresponding link name at
HomeLSKText of Tasks
There are ways to map to other Manila shortcuts like All People.

So now everytime I flash, I just run this cab to change the registry so I get my preferred home page links back.
There is a limit to what can be customised.
In Settings, I couldn't find a way to change LSK All Settings from connection settup to actual settings. Dutty did it in one of his ROMs.

thnx guys...that works

thats it, cool !! thanx a lot. I switched the left homekey on my TP2 in Bxsteez ROM from phone to all contacts. Much better Who needs a "Phone soft button" ??

Hi Xaddict,
Great stuff, I want to change the LSK to DeviceLock. Changing the text was obviously no problem, but do you perhaps know the path?
I tried what I got from total commander as path: \windows\VJDeviceLock.exe, but that doesnt really work..
Thanks,
