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.

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.

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.

spacebar / return key / back?
Is there a way to set the soft keys to enter a "space" or input a "return" or (not as important) make it do "back" like in the sony Clies?
I am using Korean version of Touch Dual and the person who localized it for Korean is clearly a phone person and NOT a pda person -- s/he eliminated the space bar hard key and put a "phone vibrate" mode in instead .
This means i am typing a new appt or memo and every time there is a space, i have take out the stylus and peck at the spacebar/enter on the onscreen keyboard... which oblivates the advantage of having a hard T9 keyboard for most pda apps (although not important for making phone calls). .
actually i need a smiley that is crying b/c i am soooo frustrated...
(i would rather remap space/return to the pie key but everything i have tried on button remapping has not been working, so in desperation i am willing to give up the soft keys just to have a space input so i can lay my stylus to rest..)
This is even better than what I just downloaded (another softkey changer) I love this place!
Very nice application. Does what it's supposed to do in the most efficient way.
How about adding an option so that softkeys on start page of TouchFlo3D on Diamond can be changed too?
They can also be changed by registry keys, only different than the default today page. However, noone has written an application to do it.
SoftKey Manager can not do something like that yet.
However use a process manager and check the running processes on your phone one of them is probably causing your keys to be altered.
If you can not find the cause let me know, maybe I can help you out.
Hope you resolve this issue and fully enjoy your phone soon.

The scope for SoftKey Manager is for all Windows Mobile devices not just HTC devices.
I have not yet tried TouchFlo3D, if you can post the registry keys maybe I can write a SoftKey Manager just for Diamond phones.

You're right, these keys are specific to the HTC Touch Diamond, but it would be so easy to implement it. Just put a check box named "Diamond mode" and you'll make current and future Diamond users very happy. I can beta-test it if you want.
Here are the reg keys which have to be modified:
under HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
HomeLSKText ....(name of the left softkey)
HomeLSKPath ....(path to the application of left softkey)
HomeRSKPath ....(name of the right softkey)
HomeRSKText ....(path to the application of right softkey)
I made a special edition for Diamond users
Please test and let me know if it works.
Thanks
P.S. If you need a lightweight Launch Application that doesn't take much memory take a look at http://www.fantasticbytes.com/lminfo.php
Edited: Uploaded Wrong Version, Uploading new ones now, Fixed now

I have tested your Diamond version with both a Start Menu item and with selecting an .exe directly. In both cases, your application works perfectly. After a soft reset the names of the softkeys are changed and clicking the softkeys brings up the right application.
Thank you very much. I think you have the first Diamond softkey changer on the market (even though it's free) . Let Diamond users know about it on the Diamond forum.
Thanks,
Please let me know if reset to defaults works. If it does then I will post a link on the Diamond forum.

Hi,
Reset to defaults at first seemed to have no effect on my Diamond. On the application screen, my previous settings stayed. However, I did a soft reset to be sure, and after the soft reset the default soft keys came up.
So return to defaults only works after a soft reset. I think after the defaults button is clicked you should ask the user directly to soft reset.
Works great but quick question.
When in phone screen, I've got video call in left softkey and menu in the right softkey.
I changed the left softkey to contacts but it changed the left softkey on the home page.
How do I change the left softkey while in phone screen?
Thanks,
Mark
I like the funcontact very much, and I have arleady changed the left softkey to "contact", however this "contact" is the default system contact. How to assign this softkey to funcontact? and also, how to change the name?
I just registered here and this is my first post..
wish all best
Try Advanced Config from here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
It has many other tweaks which you will find useful.
The option to have custom soft-keys is under Menu>More settings(right soft-key).
Thank You so much
Touch flow
Is there any way to change the keys when in touch flow this only changes them under 2nd today for me.
Does anybody knows the direct link in Startmenu to "All settings"?
The link is also seen on the settings Tab (left softkey).
Perhaps someone knows the link from the registry.
Since settings is not a "Folder" in real sense no shortcut possible.
You can however try the control.exe from utils.zip in this post and create a shortcut for it.
Control.exe
That's not true because in Duttys Rom I remember there was a shortcut in startmenu.

Hi JLowe, you are correct about duttys rom. The shortcut on the programs page has a registry entry.
When I can get to my pc I'll post the contents of the keys for the entry. May take a day or so, unfortunately I don't have any screen capture soft on my HD.
Regards, D.
Hi again, just checked the link and it leads to the TF3D settings tab not the all settings page. I'll still post the reg info though as this may prove useful.

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,

Hello, In rhodium the lower buttons are "Phone" on the left and "Camera" on the right.
How can I change this buttons to other functions as "programs" or others?
I try with Advanced configuration tools and other utilities but when soft reset all return with original values. My rhodium have Italian rom.
Thanks
Use HD Tweaks works on mine.
Use HD Tweaks with caution.. Some of the tweaks might give issues on TP2.. For one, its a know issue that one or some of the volume tweak would disable sound on your TP2.. There after, you make calls and you can't hear the other side..

Use Touchflo Detacher, you can set the softkeys on the homescreen aswell as in Touchflo 3D to any application or shortcut (ink) you want.
http://www.codeplex.com/TFDetacher
At the moment I have Camera and Windows Messenger
Hard Keys
In case you didn't know already, you can also set the Send key as a shortcut as well. Just go Settings > All Settings > Personal > Buttons

You can remap both soft keys (left and right) the same way: either choose the program from your application list shown in the pull-down window, or choose the application from any location on your device by clicking [...] path search on the right side. This way you can remap both soft keys to ANY program on your device.
with a reg editor you can go for : HKLM->Software->HTC->Manila
Here it is : HomeRSKPath (Write the path of the desired app)
Below is : HomeRSKText (Write the text you want to see in home right soft key).
Hope it can help.
Is there a way to just remove the two soft buttons and have the tf3d icons on the bottom? I am running an auto lock program and the phone button is not needed as I can use the hard button.
