Annoying, VERY annoying problem - function keys

Hey guys,
As the title says Ive got a very annoying problem with my xperia. Problem is that the right function keys (silver one) assigned action always changes from "right function key" to "Today" upon restart.
Id like to not do a hard-reset if possible. Anyone got any suggestions how to make sure it sticks with what action I assign to it?
Cheers

sounds to me like the assignment isn't "sticking" in the registery and goes away after restart. try a registery editor and manually assign the key to the program you want.

i have the same problem. do you have tf3d installed ?

yes I do have tf3d installed. which registry key should I change?

I have the same problem. In addition to tf3d I installed the cab that enables to make a panel out of it. Help?

Use AEBPlus to re-assign the key(s). For each hard keys, you get 4 different actions. You will appreciate what u can do with the hard keys!

Also mine after installed touchflo3d.
Guys, remove TF3d! We have a Xperia, X-panel is more than enaught.

doesn't work in my x1. something keeps changing the registry value back ... :-(

yep I had this problem too when I installed TF3D. In the end I uninstalled it because I wanted the right button mapped to voice command and it got annoying having to remap it after every soft reset
if someone has successfully stopped it automatically setting it to "today" please tell us how

I am using Touch-HD Manilla instead of TF3D and don't have this problem. Why not use Touch-HD Manilla instead? From what I read, this is faster than TF3D.

Post 1, Manilla HD Full
or
Post 2 Manilla HD, components
I have only so far installed Manilla HD Full, and have never tried the the individual components.

Interesting, I have this too, and I also have TF3D installed as a panel...

and you're using manilla hd full ?

Yes, am using Manilla HD Full. Also installed the T3FD panel, but later removed it.
I am on ROM 1.02 (was on ROM 1.01 also) by Jack Leung, AEBPlus works on both with Manilla HD Full installed. Didn't bother to install the panel.

I have Touch HD,but I also have this problem,why...

Just curious, are you on the original rom?
I understand some ROMs, the email signature also doesn't get saved. Wonder if this is a related issue.

TouchFlo Question and others

Hi,
I've installed Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB on top of Sundreams ROM.
This ROM rocks and it very fast on my BA with apps installed. OCed the BA using XCPUScalar.
However I've got a problem with the adding Programs shortcuts in TouchFlo (launcher tab). After selecting the program, the form closes and no program is added to the shortcut. The + remains a +. Anyone experienced this problem?. Is there a way to add the shortcuts manually in a configuration file?.
Also where can I configure TouchFlo settings?
Also the front screen calendar is too basic for my taste. I used SPB diary. How can I use a more advanced calendar with TouchFlo (shows 5 days or more)?.
Thanks to all ROM contributors. Any insights appreciated.

Customize it using this one:

make sure you installed all the Xplode CABS before the manila to have it working
This is from my own experience I am sure some experts can help more.

Update
Thanks for the reply.
I have installed the following cabs:
HTCAlbum-2.5QVGA.cab
Aku1.4 Sounds.cab
Aku1.4 welcomehead.cab
HTC htcStartMenu.cab
HTC Enchansements.cab
HTC TaskManager 2.1.34837.5
HTCFlashLite.cab
HTC AudioManager.cab
Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB
To which cabs are you actually refering to?. Am I missing something?.
Well as regards to the launcher, I have added the applications manually via registry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila2D\Launcher, however the application do not run when clicked on. Icons appear as a 'blank icon' rather than '+'
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=46966
Any ideas?

As far as the calendar, no one seems to have been able to use a different calendar as of yet. Having said that, there is one alternative that I am using right now (with which I am pretty happy). There is a program in the Dev and Hacking section that is called Manila Control
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447504&highlight=manila+control
This will allow you to switch back and forth between Manila and Today (just set up an Up-Down gesture with FTouchFlo Config). You can then put any Today plugin that you want (ie SPB Calendar) and just switch to it when you need to see your calendar. Hope this helps you on that end.
Now, as far as the cabs, you should install the following cabs:
HTC_Enchansements.cab
HTC AudioManager_2.0_1819.1228.cab
GoogleMaps_compressed.cab
HTC_Task_Manager_2.1_34837.5.cab
HTC_Album2.0_1818.3032.cab
Touch Flo 2D Manila2D_1.00_1819.2926-xplode.CAB
FSP, DShow, WMP, Youtube, Video Fixes.cab
These are the ones that I have on my device and I have not had any issues with speed or anything like that. Hope this helps!

Thanks for feedback. I have managed to find a workaround via registry. I did'nt add the "uptime" key before. Once added the icons are functional and show up.

Touchflo and the right key

Hey guys,
I installed Touchflo on my Xperia. Works very well! But i have a problem.
The right key keeps remapping it's self back to "Today" after i start Touchflo.
I want this button to turn the display arround, but everytime i set it up, it remapps itself again after starting Touchflo.
I there a solution for this problem?

settings -> button -> map as whatever you want
what do you mean with "turn the display arround"? landscape?

In short, no solution if you have TF3D installed.

Install AWBPlus.

@guap
yes, i mean landscape.
@paroxsym
are your sure? is this a known problem?

You could start TouchFlo via MortScript.
Last lines should be
Sleep(10000)
RegWriteDWord("HKLM","Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C3","Flags",14)
and the Button gets remapped. I've got this in my Autostart folder.

Sounds complicated ^^
I hope this problem will be fixed in the coming Manila 2 landscape.

you gotta search for hd-tweak...it´s somwhere in the blackstone forum...i got it on my xperia, and it just works find.
softreset included
there´s the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=452505

In the Deveopment/Hacking forum, you can find a fix from me which works without further tweaking tools
I hope the simple trick will be used by the rom cooks in further ROMs, at least Hammamed told me he will use it

ssMaHo on Topaz

Hi!
Has someone tried out the ssMaHo application for remapping buttons and stuff in TouchFlo3D? Some people are complaining about incompatibilities with the topaz device. Can anyone please confirm or disprove the compatibility?
One of the most interesting things is if it's possible to remap the add new appointment button in the calendar tab to e.g. ThumbCal.
Regards,
PK

I am one of the people who has tried it. It didn't work for me. The developer doesn't have a Topaz device, so can't test it thoroughly. He has used it successfully on a Topaz-based ROM for the HD. I see other people apparently using it on the HD without trouble.
Can anyone confirm this? SSMaHo can be found here. I've tried v.0.0.4.0 on a NL ROM.

I tried it also on the dutch stock rom. It doesn't work. I would really like to change the new appointment application. It is stupid that almost everything else is finger friendly except new appointment, new message etc...

There are not so much buttons to remap but I use AE Button Plus v2.6.3 and it works fine.

But AE Button Plus is not freeware, and I'm pretty sure it won't be able to "see" if the same softbutton is running under a specific TouchFlo tab, in order to trigger the effect when a specific tab is selected and do nothing otherwise.
I tried to use SSMaHo 0.0.4.0 on a Rhodium based HD cooked ROM, and the process works well, but can only remap the 2 Home softbuttons (for which I don't need a program, as one can do it easily by tweaking the register).
It just does nothing on any other tabs' buttons, so after reading what you wrote, I suppose it just doesn't work for Manila 2.x... Too bad.

I've used it on my Topaz to remap the alarm section of the clock to launch Spb Time. Not tried anything else though..

How to setup the softkeys (Touchflo)

Hey folks,
I would like to configure the softkeys on the Touchflo home screen (bottom).
I want to set left sw botton to contacts and right sw button to calendar.
I tried this ways and no one worked:
- Software KeySwop 0.4.1
- Software HD Tweak 0.5.4
- Software RemapSoftkeys 1.0.0.1
- direct edit of the regiytry (as seen here: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2008/...tcuts-on-windows-mobile-today-or-home-screen/)
KeySwop was able to change the names of the buttons, but no one worked after that.
Any ideas to manage that issue?

Manila 2d customizer

Just tried to add calendar with M2DC and it worked without problem.

hm... have you installed Manilla 2D (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173) and the Manilla 2D Customizer (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392)?
