Are there any tools or registry hacks available to remap the Inner Circle and Messenger keys?
I can think of more usefull programs to map to a dedicated hardware key instead of these...
TIA
Do you actually need to use the Inner Circle and WLM functions on your device?
I ask because the only way so far which I have found to remap those key buttons is to create Mortscript .exe files called InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe, each pointing to respective InnerCircle.mscr and WLMMessenger.mscr scripts which run the programs you want. You would then drop these into your \Windows folder, overwriting the original InnerCircle.exe and WLMMessenger.exe files (having first removed the Read-only / System etc. properties from the original files using Total Commander or Resco Explorer). Clearly this will then render the Inner Circle and WLM functions inoperative on your device - not too much of a problem for me as I have no need for either. If you want to regain their functionality you simply need to delete the two .exe files you created and the originals will regenerate from ROM. Note that I found I needed to use Mortscript to get this to work. Simply copying a renamed .exe file of the actual program you want to assign to the button did not work.
I know it sounds ridiculous but none of the "regular" methods for changing hardware key assignments seem to work - I even tried editing the keymap. There is a "Short_Circle" lnk file in \Windows - changing the target of this seems to make no difference. The various registry entries which I have used successfully in previous devices made no difference. It's as if there is some sort of ROM-level hardware association between the Inner Circle key and the InnerCircle.exe file (same deal with WLM).
If anybody can come up with a more elegant solution to this it would be welcomed - I'm a reasonably adept WM user but I'm pretty sure somebody more knowledgeable can do better. If you don't have a Snap then please be a little cautious about being gung-ho with suggestions (!) - I know this is fairly well-trodden territory on xda-developers but the setup with the Snap seems like it might be a bit different. Cheers
P.S. Don't be tempted to delete or disable the Windows Live key from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services - this will prevent the Windows Live service from loading, which might be good in various ways, but it's needed for the Windows Live key to work (even if the WLMMessenger.exe which is being executed is running something else).

Thanks for the extensive reply. I've been using my Snap for a few weeks now and still don't understand what the marketing-fuzz of InnerCircle is all about.
The InnerCircle app I don't need, at all. It does nothing that can't be done with a server-side rule. So no issue that it is completely disabled in the OS. Messenger is a nice to have for occasional use, but a dedicated button is just a wasted button IMHO.
I'll check out your suggested solution.
A link to the task manager instead of the inner circle prog would be cool.

Open Windows and change the key by renaming it to the program you want.

You can do that using the procedure outlined in post #2 above. This is exactly how I have mine set up

Can you explain how you did this? I tried the following techniques (which have worked with previous WM phones) and none of them worked:
1. Changing the target of Inner Circle.lnk
2. Changing the target of Short_Circle.lnk
3. Fiddling with the keymap file (although I'm not sure I exhausted this fully).
4. The situation with HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys doesn't seem to be the same with this device as with my previous WM devices.
It's almost as if there is a direct rom-level association between the button and the InnerCircle.exe file - perhaps this is not the case with some of the other Snap ROMs. The only way I was able to "remap" the button was using the Mortscript method I explained in post #2 of this thread. I recognise this is an inelegant solution and would welcome a better method (although it doesn't really cause me a problem as I don't need Inner Circle or Windows Live Messenger - in fact I'd rather they weren't even on the phone, I'm sure they will be removed when we start seeing cooked ROMs).
Im kind of a noob to WM.. so is it possible to explain it slightly more detail what needs to be done.. such as creating a mortscript exe.. i just want to remap the inner circle key to the task manager btw
Hi, I am a newbie to WM. Would like to find out whether there has been any other ways of doing this remapping? Thanks in advance!
hallo i'm using omnia pro and having the same problem here, need some expert advice.
I already tried the AE Button plus but it's seem to not recognized the button I want to re map (PIE and WLMessenger button)
i got the same problem with my htc snap. anybody knows how to change the wlm and innercircle keys?
maybe some of the rom cooking experts can write a rom or cook into next rom?
Custom ROM already has it, in parts
Guys.
ookba has done some button customization on his roms.
Long-press power button will bring the Quick List menu.
You can change though settings:
- Press Inner Circle: default is CeleTask.
- Long-press Home: default is Quick List
Check the ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551642
I'm waiting for a version where we can change the Messenger and Mail/SMS key also.

Cris
For some reason I cannot set (remove) the flags "Read Only" and "system" from InnerCircle.exe....Either with Resco Expolrer and Total commander, both applications seem to properly change the property flags, but when I check again the file properties, the "read only" and "system" are back.
So I am stuck with remapping the Inner circle button.
If anyone has some advise, that would be great.

Bump! (I know it's an old thread). Anyone find a way to remap the messenger key??
It seems to me the messenger key somehow is hardwired to launch \Windows\Start Menu\Messenger.lnk. Let Messenger.lnk point to your favorite application and it gets started by the messenger key. This solution is not that elegant since it clutters the start menu, but at least for me it works.
Have fun,
Erik
Hi,
how exactly did you update Messenger.lnk? What did you wrote as a path? Some special characters?
EDIT: solved, I forgot to put double quote. Now it works also for me.

I use SPB Mobile Shell and I would like to make it so "SPB Menu" comes up when I press the Start button on the top left hand corner.
Is there a way to do this?
I dont think this is possible, but why would you want to do that, a pop up menu is great in my opinion.
I recommend you to assign the spb menu to one of your hardware keys, like the camera key or something like that,

It is possible - for example QuickMenu can replace the start menu with itself. HTC EnlargeStart Menu does the same. Maybe it needs some kind of registry hack.

I LOVE the SPB Menu and since I use my fingers 99% of the time on my Touch I don't really have a use for the built in Start menu.
I know there has to be a way to do this, I just hope it is a easy one.
I looked through my registry a bit but I didn't see anything that would change this.
It has to be possible.
Is there a way to do a registry dump, perform the HTC Start Menu Tweak and then perform another dump and somehow compare them to see what has changed?
With Wisbar Advance 3 you can map the start button to anything you want.
I installed Wisbar Advance Desktop to play around with when I first got my Touch. I uninstalled it because I didn't like the functionality. After the uninstall I still have Wisbar icons showing up in some of my menu's. There is no way I am going to install one of their bloated products just to do one simple function.
Hi, i am looking for the same Startbutton tweak.
I want to remove the Startbutton AND the word "Start" right to the button.
Wisbar Lite Taskmanager does remove the word "Start".
I'd like to know how this works, and somehow it must be possible to remove or reassign the Startbutton without installing WAD or WA3, a megapackage for only one function.
If someone has the skills to do this and/or write a simple program to make this happen I wouldn't mind compensating them. Either in $$ or Webhosting!
Nothing is being removed in most of these cases, the start button and or title bar is being covered up.

I don't want anything removed, I just want to change the link on the Start menu to point to something else.

I compared the registry with the large menu on and off and this is all I found. Not much help (for me anyway).
BIG START MENU
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu]
"DropDown"=dword:00000000
"Enable"=dword:00000001
LITTLE START MENU

He says that it's not a registry tweak... maybe those programs relocate the title bar and put themselves in that positions looking similar with different functions... That is the way that evb used to work fullscreen (relocating the title bar, sip and taskbar)...
I finally gave in and reinstalled Wisbar Advance. I would rather accomplish this without using Wisbar but for now it will work.
Trying to create a button link to "settings" in my verizon ppc for UL, any ideas?
thank you very much.
Jon
"UltimateLaunchConfig.exe" is the app. What kind of "button link" do you want? In a UL button? or a hard button?
If you mean create a button to show the settings menu, this should work for you:
Go to Windows\Start Menu
Copy Settings
Paster a shortcut (for settings) anywhere.
create a new button using the shortcut you created

Much respect to all first and foremost. From my experience with UL, that may work for some applications located in the Windows folder, but not all. For instance, you cannot create a shortcut for the Today settings to switch up your themes, Power/Soft Reset , or even Remove Programs either. There's a slew of programs that can't be made into shortcuts within UL. It's perhaps a limitation of UL.
But there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel. If one desperately wants to create /include such applications (Power, Resetting, Today, etc) with UL, one can install Mobile Shell because it create shortcuts in itself, which UL can then detect. Pocket Plus may be able do the same, but I'm uncertain.
Also, the word on the street, the next version will be 'better' and I don't have the slightest clue as to when that release will surface. I'm no expert, just a big fan like of UL. My two cents.
this answer is a little bit wrong:
1. you can make a Shortcut to ANY wm setting. example: command: ctlpnl, param: cplmain.cpl,10 (for uninstalling software) search in the other ul threads.
2. Daniel Who wrote UL made also some "smartutilities" for make calll, toggle wifi, softreset and many more, google for it. this are small .exe you can link to.
yes, i was attempting to have a button inside of UL access the settings area. I have the xv6700 which appears to have a problem with keeping UL on the today screen after a soft reset. so before I soft reset I need to change my today plugin to something else. otherwise when i reboot nothing shows up and will not load any other plug-ins. Makes it easy to have a quick link cause I'm not a stylus fan.
Thank you very much guys. would have never thought of making a short cut of it. thanks again!

Good information. This seems to be a hot topic at the moment and assume this info hasnt been highlighted before. Perhaps a brave soul will post some shortcut command params, directions/instructions in their spare time, and have them listed/located in one thread for easy like the icons. (And also some of those "smartultilities" as well).
How about game area ? my problem 's it's difficult to create all game in icons. so I would like to make a link to call all game folder as when we call it by startmenu

Well, I'm not very brave, but I knew this page existed on PPCSG.COM, so I thought I'd share it. It shows how you can create .LNK files to many of the Settings Applets. Hope it helps.

Just find the one you want, open notepad on your PC copy the line into notepad, with only that text, and save as power.lnk, for example, then have the button set to that link.

I hadn't used this yet, but resco explorer has an option (you have to edit the regsitry for it) that let's you load folders according to command line arguments (then you can use UL to load the folder in resco straight using a command line).
you should check it out.

Thanks for finding this to the OP as well, been looking to get this changed for a while!
i installed one of the roms that do not have panel manager installed. this trick doesnt seem to work on the rom
im confused
cansomeone pls explain what u can achieve by changing this buttoins function other than losing acces to the panel function :S or does this simply mean u can save cpu usage
pls reply with some insight
thnx
Uh... but if you assign your panel button to something else.... then how you gonna access the panels still?
This is incase you dont use the panels.
Like me... i have had the original rom, and 2 roms here on this forum (custom)
And with every rom i had the same thing.
Having tf3d and panels will crash my phone (when i use e.g. google panel and then hit the x for panel change, then i often need to remove battery and place it again)
i rather have the tf3d then panels if i have to choose.
so thats why i use the X for a different app.
AE Button Plus
Or you could use 'AE Button Plus' it works for me flawlessly. I can assign the Panel Button to just about anything I choose.
how did you asign something to the AE button?
how do i reassign another button to run panel manager? I tried to execute /Program Files/Panel Manager/PanelManager.exe but that does not bring up the panel manager
anheuer said:

In AE Button Plus main screen, select FILE menu and choose ADD BUTTON and the dialog box that pops up is waiting for you to press a hardware button...
Press the X-PANEL button (which will probably launch panel manager if it's installed, no matter close that down) it will then allow you to press in the dialog box 'ADD KEY' and also shows you the Key code...
The key code will be next to the newly created button in the list for you to assign to whateve you like.

Yeah, assign Quickmenu.exe to the panel button and you get a "startmenu" button. Search for Quickmenu 2.7 around the forum....
doesnt work
I followed your directions and can't get the x-panel button to run quickmenu. It still runs the panel manager. There's something else that needs to be done, and I haven't' a clue what that is.
At least I was able to load the cab file that makes panels work on the touch HD. So when I eventually get the x-panel button reassigned, I can still access panels (which I infrequently do as it is). I have yet to see the value of panels. I like running things in the background concurrently, i.e. listening to streaming radio or mp3, txt'ing, using GPS, or exploring on the web. Panel switching seems to halt other tasks.
Kinda works
Finally got quickmenu to work with the x-panel key. Another important tidbit of info is that quickmenu must already be running for the x-button to invoke it. Otherwise it loads panelmanager.
Another bit of info, as soon as you run panel for the first time (in programs, the touch HD cab adds it on install), the behavior reverts back to the x-panel key invoking panelmanager and not quickmenu. I checked, quickmenu is still running. Figure that one out. Very confusing.
i installed panel as a seperate cab, i dont have the panel manager in my programs and i cant seem to invoke it any other way besides pressing the hardware button

Is it possible to select multiple messages on Touch HD using drag in Outlook (SMS/MMS) ? My frind who is having Touch Pro can select multipe messages using drag, and I can't. We've noticed that we have different menus - he doesn't have Menu -> Select Messages, so I suppose that this is introduced on Touch HD because 'drag mutiple select' is disabled ... Or there is an option where could I enable this feature ? I also had this posibiliy on Himalaya as far as I can remember ...
Tnx!
I would like to know this as well as deleting multiple messages can be very time consuming without this feature.

Not quite the same, because on Touch Pro it's possible to select and to scroll and it's quite easy (with a little practice) to distinguate these gestures. But maybe some people had problems with that so that's why they disabled it ... But they could leave an option to enable it ...
Hi,
I am also having same problem. I cannot multi select files, massages, contacts or etc using drag.....
Can anyone plz help......
Thanks in advance.
it is because of newer build 207XX. touch pro had build 199XX. microsoft have disabled the ability to use multi select in newer builds. however you can recover most of the multi-select feature by making a following reg key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Gestures\Touch]
"Disabled"=dword:1
after making this key, multi-select with finger/stylus will work everywhere except the inbox.

Hi.
I was curious if anyone knows a way to re-map the internet browser shortcut key that is on the bottom right of the Sprint HTC Snap. I would like to have it open Skyfire instead of IE. Skyfire is set as my default browser but the button still opens IE. Also, do the same thing with the Mycircle key but change it to open Task Manager.
Thanks.
The file is in \Windows and it's called short_circle.lnk. Just make a new .lnk and call it short_circle.lnk and copy it to \Windows overwriting the old one.
Hi I got the Inner Circle key remapped using both short_circle.lnk and long_circle.lnk.
I am still having trouble getting the internet key to remap to Skyfire. I have tried making PIE.lnk, short_IE.lnk, long_IE.lnk, short_PIE.lnk, long_PIE.lnk. None of these seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

and Change ist to the TaskMgr.exe.
I Restart my Phone, but the Button always Call the InnerCircle Funktion.

Christian, instead of editing the Short_circle.lnk file directly, try as follows:
1. Copy the TaskManager.lnk file from your Windows/Start Menu to another folder (i.e /Storage Card)
2. go in /Storage Card and rename TaskManager.lnk as Short_Circle.lnk
3. Copy this file into /Windows
This should work..at least it did for myself.

Hello,
thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t works.
The InnerCircle Key always start the Inner Circle Applikation.
Greetings
Christian
1) use total commander or the likes,
2) change the read-only attribute on the short_circle.lnk.
3) then replace the shortcut with whatever application you'd like to run and save it as short_circle.lnk.
Thanks! This worked for me.

Hi there,
Do you have more info on that ? I have a S521 (Frenchy ass, fruity ass), and the so-called internet key is for Live Mess-enger. I would be really interested in mapping a different function to that key.
Hi,
is it possible to re-mapping also key dedicated for Live Messenger? I try it in the same way, like for Inner Circle (which work correctly), but without effect.
I know this reply is late, but for anyone still playing around with HTC SNAPs:

I have Telstra Branded Snaps, and i had to remove the security off the phones before i could untick the read only attribute on the Short_Circle.lnk shortcut.
To remove the security:
Install "Clear Security.cab"
Install and Launch Microsoft’s Security Configuration Manager on your PC
Select Security Off from the drop down menu and click the Provision button, the program will install a file called Tool.cab on the mobile device.
MS Security Configuration Manager available here:
