OK! I was trying to get TF3D 0.6.7 to work and it was giving me an error. There are 2 fixes posted by the author. I tried the first one with no luck, the second one worked great!
The first one is to go to HKLM/Driver/Touchpanel and make a new Dword.
For reasons I cannot explain I did not think to back up my registry! Now, the touch screen won't work except for the task manager arrow. Nothing else no matter how hard I push or with what.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it or does can someone possibly make an exacutable registry key I can launch or install some how? I thought you could use PHM from the desktop as well. Any registry editors that will work through active sync on the PC? If so, what is the value supposed to be and what kind of key is it supposed to be? Thanks in advance.
soft reset?
have you tried a soft reset?
If everything else fail, you should maybe just re-flash your phone.
Before flashing try to hard reset.
Press and hold VOL.DOWN Button & ENTER Button
And while holding press the soft reset button (under the stylus)
When a message appears on your screen u can release the
Volume down button and enter button.
Use "Mobile Registry Editor" to change the setting back while the device is recognized by ActiveSync. (You can hit Cancel on the ActiveSync pops and it will let you use the device in Guest mode)
You can also use some remote control utility like MyMobiler or EveryWAN to use the device through the computer.
MyMobiler should definitely help. Try it out..

Under settings buttons... always worth switching off and restarting then if that does not hard reset.

same problem here........................probably you installed another key mapper too? (AEBPlus).
It seems a hard reset is the only solution, or somebody could post the registry entry where this key map is defined!?
TIA
Yep put AEBPlus in didnt like so i uninstalled it now no comm manager Ahhh!!!!
After uninstalling AEBPlus, you keep stuck with only "4 buttons", at least in the System Settings. Happily everything keeps working...............expect the CommMgr button.
Either somebody posts the correct reg-entries for this key, or you have to do a hard reset.
I think it might be solved if you place the original files back into: \Windows\AppButtons
Maybe somebody can post a RAR file of that folder?
Second thing, I found the keys in the register. They can be found here:
Mobile device\HEKY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys
You will see that the 4 keys are there left by AEBPlus. The missing keys should be here when you have a working Wizard
Hope someone can post the keys and values aswell?
I had the same problem. The registry values in this post will restore function:

You have to add a string to the register. Then give that string the right name and value
AEBPlus was completely rewritten recently. New version will not harm any application buttons ever, compatible with almost any WM 2003/2003SE/2005 device and has a lot of new features

I've tried searching, I can't seem to narrow my search enough to get relevant results.
I installed NullKB to block the annoying SIP popup from searchfromtoday. I first installed it to the memory card, and went into settings ~> input and selected it as the default input method. I go back to my today screen and the SIP still pops up when I tap the searchfromtoday box. I think that maybe it needs to be installed in main memory to work, so I uninstall, and reinstal to device. Still the same thing. I noticed that I can go into input, select nullkb, tap OK, then come back and it goes back to keyboard. It's like the change to nullkb won't "take" so to speak. Any ideas? Search from today is amazingly useful, but the SIP popup is a deal breaker.
Another quick question: How do I make programs launch on startup? I like to have magicbutton task manager launch everytime I start up the device. As it is now I have to open it after every reset.
If i remember correctly if you go into magic button settings, there should be an option to automatically start.
As a rule if you want a program to startup when the device starts place a link in the windows\startup folder, i.e. a lnk file to the program.
MSigler - after installing NullKB, try a soft reset. Also, don't set it as the default keyboard through the registry - if you do, you may end up with the device not booting anymore and requireing a hard reset (lose all data).
Mark - Thanks for the tip, I found that, but I'll use the startup trick in the future.
I did do a soft reset and it still doesn't work.
the button thats on the upper left side of the 8125 isn;t working anymore!?
when i press it, nothing happens, it normally brings up an option to let me enable or diable stuff. wtf is going on?
thanks
PS. i installed AE Button Plus, but i didn't know how to edit my buttons and removed it, so i think installig it removed that wifi button.
i need help! thanks
came someone help? i really want to restore this badly, i hate pulling out the stylus to enable my wifi and blue etc... (i have big fingers, i can't press the little icon on the lower right hand corner)
that button bought me straight to the menu.
i don't know what the butto is called, but it's located on the left side, and its on the the upper left.
thanks!
Hi, yes its called the comm button - button 5.
Try - goto settings\buttons and see if you can reassign button 5 to comm.
If button 5 has dissappeared from the list then ae button plus has screwed it up - like it did for me and I had to hard reset - darn!
pwwwha! nooooooooooooo!
hard reset!???
is there anyway i can hard reset, and still restore all my progs and info etc...
thanks
I am not saying you have to do a hard reset - try the other advice first.
There is possibly a registry tweak to correct it - but i dont know it. If you have to hard reset this advice will make it easier.
Create backup of windows\start menu - most programs that are on the storage card dont need a reinstall.
Create copy of pim.vol in the root directory of the device - contains contact and appt information. After flash change the new pim.vol to pim.vo and copy and paste old pim.vol (use total commander or gsfinder file explorers for this) and soft reset and you will have info back.
Create backup of windows\favorites - for all your internet favorites.
You can backup your voice tag database between hard resets by copying the file CommandModel1.bin found under the windows folder to your pc or to the memory card. After rom upgrade copy it back to your windows folder and all your voice tags are back!
That will make restore a bit quicker than otherwise.
Found the registry key - if you can check this - HKLM\software\microsoft\shell\keys\40C6
40C6 is button 5 and if not there needs to be added. There are a few dwords that will need to be added as well if deleted.
thanks! i found it, but how would i add it? thanks in advance!
woo hoo! i got it to work! thanks!
do u know any other keys?
i want the volume up and down to be D left and right.
(If I knew how I would have opened an account to receive your donations)
The tweak is: change one of the bottom hardware keys to soft-reset.
I used long_send.lnk to link for an .exe file that soft reset the device.
In the last week this tweak saved me about 3-4 times from opening the back cover to press the red soft reset button (usually when the device hangs, it's really just the screen, the hardware keys still work).
Knowing that the soft reset button is the most important button in any WM device, I wonder how HTC hasn't thought about it themeselves...

I installed the reset and wifi cab off the cabs thread (in my sig). That creates a shortcut for wifi toggling and resetting the device. I've just got both of them in the quicklinks, so it's on my homepage all the time.

When the screen is unresponsive, your quicklinks are worthless. The power of my tweak is that it allows you to soft-reset using the hardware keys which usually stay responsive even when the screen hangs.

And when those keys are unresponsive then that method is useless. There's no perfect replacement for taking the back off.
Can you give a link to the soft reset exe file that you're using? A copy of your long_send.lnk would also be great.

True. Still, in the last week my device hang 3-4 times, I could not use the soft-reset quicklink, simply because the screen was unresponsive. When I pressed long send the device reset.
When the screen is responsive, the hardware keys are always responsive, but not vice versa.
Surely the "#1 Killer Tweak" would be to make it more stable so it doesnt need a soft reset!
just my tuppence worth

sorry how is this a new tweak?
I'm lost...
it's been posted many many times..
long_press.lnk isn't that good a way of doing it btw.
It's better to use the reg setting. :
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C6]
@="\"\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\softreset.lnk\""
"WndCls"=""
"BtnWnd"=dword:00000000
"Flags"=dword:00000000
"ResetCmd"=""
"Name"="Button 1(Hold)"
obviously you need a softreset.lnk pointed in the start menu pointing to the exe

Here are the instructions:
1. Download the soft-reset files from here:
http://handheld.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Enhancements/Shubaroo-Soft-Reset-56815.shtml
This is a zip file that contains two files. Put the file named "SoftResetARM.exe" on your Storage Card root directory.
2. Download the attached Long_Send.txt.
3. Change Long_Send.txt to Long_Send.lnk (I simply couldn't attach a lnk file)
4. Put the Long_Send.lnk file in the device's Windows folder.
That's it, a long press on the hardware send-key will soft-reset the device.

Do you have to create this key? I got as far as /shell/ but couldn't find /Keys/
Maybe better rename the thread title to: "Add softreset function to one of the hardware buttons" I expected the phone to do more than it already did
It happens every time I did a soft reset after applied some sweet (didn't get the chance to feel...) Tips and Tricks on registry tools (Resco Registry Editor btw...).
one huge question, DO I Really need to "UNHIDE" every files on my HD2 before perform any Registry Editing?
HOpe for speedy reply!
Cheers,
b.u.m.p!
more detail..
"it crashes".... how? does it hang at boot, freeze on home screen, what? we arent psychic
why would you need to unhide files to edit the registry? how are you applying the tweak?

alright. After did the tweaks with Resco Registry Editor. You have to soft reset them in order to take effect right? I did just that and just right after phone trying to load HTC sense, it doesn't make it through. the only button I can press was contact, phone, battery icon, signal icon. that's it. Not even the START button works. Message appeared on the screen was "Unable to locate "poutlook"...."
Oh one more thing. Do we need to wait for several minutes after we've done the registry tweaks before soft reset, ? will this prevent from
