use PQz:
http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm

Thanks a lot ! it helped me a lot, but I regret that the icon of this application is static on the top menu bar. So I removed the icon from the top menu bar (using the software setup) but there is no way for me to access again the setup except if I remove the software from the registry and re-install it again.
Also, it doesn't make the phone buttons configurable for other applications like games (wich was done, for exemple, by the hack for the re-assignement of the backlight button).
On the other side, this software allows me to launch any software (wich is very good) using the phone buttons, and the size of it is only 180k. And for this size, there are many other functions possible.
So thanks again !

if you have installed pqz by cab you'll find in an program files subdirectory a program called PQzII_Setup.exe if you run this you are enabled to reconfigure it. if you have installed it using a zip file you'll find this file in the samefolder as the PQzII.exe.

I'm gonna try this, thanks again !!!

softkeys / menukeyhelper2.exe

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.

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]

About Omnia - Samsung Today 2 buttons..

Hi!! I'm new here!!
I'd like to ask if anyone knows how to change the default programs that our WM6 uses for rubrica, sms..and so on. I'd like for example to set Sms-Chat and Funcontact as the default SMS and rubrica softwares that I can open with the buttons of the Samsung Today 2 plug-in.
Any registry key to change? Any software that can manage this "preferences"?
Thank you in advance, hope to be able to help too here!!

Try Spb Plus, it should do what you need and there is many more that has this as a possibility, anything installed can be tagged with plug in, Also the applications you stated should had changed to default once installed. Should also be able to do it with changing anything.
Hope this help

SPB Shell on HD

Hi Good Peoples,
Is anyone working on modified menus for SBP Shell so that they will work on the HD?
I was using something that looked like this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2026760&postcount=433 on my Touch Diamond and would like something similar for my HD.

Install Spb Shell 2.1.3 an use this skinning programm: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424933

Many thanks. I will give it a go.

SPB Shell 2.1.3 works fine.
Been using it since it was released.
​

Spb have just released an UPDATED version of Mobile Shell - this has the issue of drop-down menus fixed.
They cannot give a date when other programmes such as Diary will be fixed, but claim it is a straightforward fix that will be addressed in the next update for each module.

That skinning program (a few posts above) is brilliant and just what the doctor ordered.

Hello !
I am working woth the actual newest build and it is working fine on the HD.
It has all necessary options and gives the HD the final touch.
It is worth the money. There is also no need to get extra themes - the installed one is great.
I can recommend to use the new SBP keyboard,too.
Althoug the HTC keyboard is very good, the SBP one is better and has also a rumble feedback when touching a key !

does SPB keyboard have the left/right and up/down navigation buttons that appear on the bottom of the HTC keyboards?

I have tried SPB pocket plus. It's a nice program, but it has a problem with drop down menues too
When editing or customizing the tabs (for eg. tab Home), the "Categories" drop down menu doesn't show other possibilities like Programs,... It shows just Indicators.

Hello
no it does not have the cursor like buttoms - up down right or left
sorry

Is it possible to edit registry to launch iContact & Calendar Touch from default key presses rather than use soft keys or direct icons eg press contacts and iContact is launched.
Thanks

How to disable "footprint" on right hardware-button?

Hi,
I would like to disable the footprint-application from the right hardware-button, but it dosn't work. In registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/shell/keys I've made two new entries (40C1 and 40C2), so I can choose now the two hardware-buttons in preferences. But when I lay another program to the right hardware-button, this programm starts together with footprint...
The left hardware-button is no problem, it works fine with every programm I want
Thanks
oese
(sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand my problem...)

Looks like it is somehow hardcoded into the TouchFLO interface. I managed to "unmap" the left key (simply by uninstalling TomTom), but I had no success with the Footprints key so far.

I think that some program or registry setting is responsible for these keys mapping.
I've managed with ae button plus to assing a different application to these keys, but the default apps run again with the new apps. And I think that because you uninstalled tomtom, just they didn't find the app and for this is not running with the new assinged app.
I don't think that is touchflo related.

I am not sure mate, tried to look almost everywhere in the registry with no success. But I'll keep trying, the Navi and Footprints buttons sux. I'd rather have Diamond's/HD's Back and Home keys, if nothing better.

Got the same result too, when tried to map another app with AEBP.

Sure, I know it just doesn't find the app, but at least it got me rid of TomTom (I am an iGO 8 user). I admit it's quite lousy workaround.

I think I found something.
Seems that the function of these buttons loading as a service.
I've managed to unbind the left button by stop the NaviService(NPS0 and I think that
the service App Service(APP1 is responsible for the right button, but I cannot stop this service.Needed further research though.
EDIT:
I've managed to disable it from registry(HKLM\Services\App). I changed Context and Index values to 0 and seems that the button is unbind now!
Needed to set these services to not automatic start also. This can be done with FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1

Ok, after some time playing around with my registry, I found a workaround how you can start a different program with the footprint button:
(BTW I have a German version so I'm not sure how the features are called in English, so if anyone can describe what I write next clearer, please feel free. Thx)
First you have to go to system preferences. In the system tab you'll find an option where you can make some adjustments about A-GPS and Place Settings. In the left tab you can activate and deactive A-GPS and tell your device which provider to use to access it. In the right tab you can tell the device not to notify you if some HTC software wants to start this feature which monitors the place where you are. Check this box.
This will keep the Google notifier to pop up every time you press the footprint button.
The go to the registry:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\FootCam
and simply change the path in there to any program you want to use with the button. e.g. \Program Files\ThumApps\ThumbCal\Thumbcal.exe

Well, works well, but do you have any idea if disabling these services does not cause any other issues?

After a hard reset I did the following
- installed the 40C1 and 40C2 reg key
- set the the NaviService(NPS0) to manual
Both buttons can now be used by Windows without any issue so far. No more changes were needed for me. Hope that helps. (I have a HTC Guide, that is the O2 branded version)

I mentioned that few posts above.
The problem is that when the NaviService doesn't run, NaviPanel doesn't start automatic when in carkit mode, even if this option is checked in carkit settings screen.

You can use AE Button Plus, you can assign 4 different actions to each button.

Before read THIS
Then use "Start" - "Settings" - "Hardware-Buttons" to change assignment.

Yes It Works,
Followed the steps and it works. I assigned foot prints to put phone in standby ( screen off / on ) The Off works quick, the On has a delay but I will get used to it.
Set the NAVI to Manual Start is the trick
