How to change location of CALENDAR AND CONTACTS for softkeys

Hey guys,
I need to switch the location of my contacts and calendar for my softkeys, anyone know how to do that?

Here is the location in the registry:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys/112
This is for the calendar. Change "default" to the text you want displayed and "open" to the path of the app.
If it doesn't exist, create a new key called 113 under:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys
same setup under 113 as 112.

Here's a slightly easier way of doing it. Download this file, rename the extension to .cpl and put in your \windows folder, soft-reset and then goto Start -> Settings -> System -> Soft-Key
See next below for the cab.

Here it is in Cab file for those who prefer a 'one-click' solution....

The control panel item in the cab kyphur attached above is integrated into the custom Cingular ROMs 2.24 and above...that I build anyway.

When I use it to set a soft key for New SMS or New MMS, it says canot find file. Any idea how to resolve?
I'm using the QTEK 2.17 ROM

Was it present in Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST.exe or perhaps added to the followup? I don't see the shortcut present in Start --> Settings --> System.
I don't particularly want it, but am more curious why I don't see it and wondering if there's anything more than just the radio ROM different between the two builds.
Thanks for all your hard work on this! I'm on record as the first to kiss your @$$ in my tagline. Though that guy offering to have your kids & seahorse stuff - well, that was a pretty strong show of support even if a bit spooky. I thought it might be cool if others running your custom ROMs did the same with their tags and you could see the positive impact on the community by a show of raw numbers. :mrgreen:

just wondering im trying to map my left softkey to new sms and well it says cant find tnsms does any one know how to fix that or no

Summiter:
First, let me kneel, grovel, worship, etc. The new ROM is awesome!
However...
In the Softkey program that you included, you need to change the name of the file that "Calendar" accesses to just 'Calendar.exe', not 'HTCCalendar.exe'. (on the 8125, anyway).
Haven't tried the rest of the soft key functions, but that one had a little problem. Easy enough to fix:
HKCU
Software
Microsoft
Today
Key 113 (at least, on my machine, might be different...),
change the "Open" value to \windows\Calendar.exe.

Put the attached file in your \Windows folder and soft reset. Then you shoud be able to assign a soft-key to "New SMS" and it will work.

It's in test2..my bad. The radio and the softkey applet are the only things added to test2.
I don't need any thanks. I do like to see folks learning and asking productive questions though.

If you want to remove the softkey program, how do you do it? I can't delete the .cpl file from /Windows for the life of me. Thanks.
(Softkey is quite buggy... plus a lot of it's mappings are incorrect. Even if I edit the registry and change the mapping, softkey changes it back to the incorrect mapping upon soft-reset).

i might be needing this..
(anyone know how to tag a thread without bumping it?)

Manual Dialer Skin Install

Im just curious, but how do you manually install a dialer skin? I have found alot of dialer skins for the mogul that are really cool, but they are not in .Cab format. I'm not exactly sure how to manually install one. Could someone please give me some info. Thanks a ton in advance.

what i do is install the big button dialer for the mogul and then the touch dialer skin cab on to the main memory to skin my phone with the default skin.
From there in the root there is a folder that says Phone Skin.
Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where.

So once I install this big button dialer, there shoudl be a folder in the root directory that I can install the other skins?

If you install the big button dialer cab for the mogul. It will replace the dialer skins that are on the phone already but it wont have the Vouge buttons.
If you want to still use the Vogue type of buttons install the Touch skin cab to go with it and once you do this will place a folder in the root : not \Windows, where you can customize, delete and replace for others that you might like. I found out by experimenting and it worked for me.

I will hunt these two skins down, and start experimenting myself.

If you want i can send you the Big Button Dialer CAB, and the Touch Skin CAB that way you can start skinning from here.
Just PM and i'll send it to you or I'll upload it later because I dont have it with me at the moment (School)

Her is the Big Button Dialer cab along with the Touch Skin Cab for those that need it.
Install the Big Button Dialer cab first then the Touch. After your done soft reset your phone. This should work on all TITAN phones. It says mogul but it works on my XV6800.

Skin problems...
Okay, I've installed the Big Button thing, and then the touch skin, but when I restarted, all of the buttons are fine, except for the 1 button, which appears as the native Mogul dialer button for 1, which looks distinctly out of place. Functions fine, just looks ugly, any fix for this?

Erm, sorry, not quite advanced enough to grasp that. Is that a folder\file thing or a registry thing, if it's a registry thing, where do I edit the phone's registry?
Edit: Nevermind, remembered that HKCU is a registry path, the rest is now obvious, just need to find a registry editor.
Edit 2: Found a registry editor, problem now occurs that "Access is denied" when I try and edit that particular registry entry.

Hey can you post some of these?
"Now from here I can either photoshop the skin available or replace it with others that I find else where."
or explain a little bit how to photoshop them? I am familiar with photoshop so I dont need a walk thru, but there are 26 graphic files in the PhoneSkin directory. Which to edit?
Also, I followed these instructions and your downloads, but when I push a button, the whole button turns white. really all I am looking to do is have it turn the matching blue when I press a key (the same blue that's in the dialer window by default)
thanks.

sorry for not being clear on my post. there is a program called tdial designer by tiermann ( search for it) and this will help you creat your own skinable dialer.
this will even fix the issue when you press a button and have receive a white button display. just chose your dialer carefully. i recommend the bluefrog aka new vouge dialer.
the regurlar vouge dialer will impair some functions on your phone. once you create the skin, it will generate the picture files and a cab for you to install.
the reason why i mentioned photoshop is that i add more details onto my dialer skins and modify them more ' to look unique ' or to stand out.
hope this is what you needed.

Oh no need to apologize, your posts are great.
I do have the Tdial Designer v1.1.0
I have the BlueFrog Big Button Dialer installed
I open the Tdial Designer (TDD) and from the Options > Dialer I choose "BlueFrog (or new Touch)". Everything looks great until I click on w=one of the buttons, then the same issue arises, it just whites out the whole key. The options below the "Down:" options are no longer available. If I switch back to Options > Dialer I choose "HTC Vouge (or old Touch)", then the "Down:" options are available. I hope this makes sense.
I did try to save a few that I was testing. Looks like it outputs the files and a cab file. Am I better off just copying the files into the PhoneSkin directory or running the actual cab?
Thanks again for the help

best regeditor in my op!
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/
but its editing through the PC and not the PPC so you cannot do on the fly editing... but I love the full 22" screen editing of my Mogul's registry

I recommend using the CAB. Because the image files only displays the dialer in standalone more ( not in use ) but the CAB once designed properly will show a customized dialer that includes the smart dialer color customization, and even the buttons when they are pressed.
I will load up a picture of how one of my alien-reanimation themed dialer looks, along with the cab if you want to install it.

thanks for sending that it is very cool. The issue I am having now is that when I install the cab it is not over riding the default one. do I need to uninstall the blue frog dialer? when I install your cab, the default dialer comes up and not yours. I look in the remove applications and what I believe is yours is listed as MyPhoneSkin. I just cant seem to get the new themes, yours or mine to apply to the phone.

No worries. I just need some information from you first.
Do you have a stock ROM on your phone or a Custom one (for example a DCD ROM)
(uninstall all previous custom dialers you have installed; Then )
If you have a DCD ROM then all you would have to do is install my cab or yours and soft reset ( reboot ) and the new dialer should show up now.
If you have a stock ROM you would first have to install the Mogul Big Button Dialer CAB ( dont worry it a universal CAB for all 6800's ) that I will provide -- Soft reset and see if you notice a new dialer ( you might get a dialer with no dial pad, this is normal) from here install your own custom CAB that you have made or mine and soft reset to notice the change.

hey cool deal, OK I got it working. I have dcd 2.3.2 rom. I reinstalled the mogul dialer, then yours and it worked. However, when I push the buttons, the blue highlight comes on, but it is the whole key, I cannot see the number below it. Which I guess isn't an issue cause you cant see it when my finger is pushing it anyway! but I wanna make sure that this is acting properly. thanks again

[APP][WWE][Updated 08/18/2008] HTC Action Screen VGA for Diamond (Raphael Icons)

Hi all,
since I find the Actionscreen feature from the Touch very useful, i thought i'd try to port it to VGA.
With the help of l3v5y in the Prophet forum I figured out everything to do was to resize the graphics and change some RegKeys.
The only thing I couldn't change was the font size, so this is a bit tiny...
I also included the Action Screen in TFlo 3D's Home menu on the left softkey, how it's stated here by mooooooa
I built two cabs one English and one german (since I am from Germany). Other languages can be easily done by editing the corresponding RegKeys.
EDIT:
Forgot the Screenshot...
It's the German Version as you can see.
EDIT:
Since I got a couple of PMs asking how I mapped Wifi Toggle to the right softkey, I'll share it here:
Used the Wlan Button of Raiisak from here and mapped it to the Right softkey using the same method as stated above.
EDIT:
Other Localizations:
Italian by massi959
Norwegian by drerling
Italian by lele.d with big font
To do your own Localization just download the English version and the Locale Reg and translate the Values. Keep in mind that the 5 spaces before each value are for positioning, since the app is badly hardcoded for 320x240 resolution.
EDIT:
Thanks the idea of lele.d I uploaded a new German Version. This one cannot be localized through the reg files since the RegValues are in fact empty and the text is included in the graphics.
So give me some time and I'll do the available localisations, or if anyone of you would...
Also in the new Cabs there is the MMSLauncher.exe linked to the MMS button, since the original key just started an SMS. Also thanks to lele.d.
New Version:
- Raphael style
- Wifi toggle by raiisak included
- Installation to Internal storage possible
- Three localisations included (Deutsch, Englisch, WWE)
- Actionscreen Options included (set background, assign TF3d Home softkeys including custom app)
- zip containing background PSDs for other localisaations (pm me and I'll include them here)
TODO:
- Find a proper file/folder selector (any recommendations appreciated)
- Full customisattion support (theming)

screenshot please?

Thanks again, you are my heros

hi dou you think the font can be changed some way to be bigger?

I also had a look at this a while ago and the fonts appear to be hardcoded and not changeable.

Hi !
I translated this program in French !

... and I've translate it in italian.

I tried to install this one on my Diamond with the original Swedish ROM. But when I press the 'NEW' button it says that it can't start the application due to problem either with the certification. Or the program isn't signed. It also says that it could be some files missing.
My bad. It just didn't work when installed on the 'memory card'.

Hello everyone,
From the screen shot into the first post I created this skin.
Possible use it?
I am not good at programming.
Thank you.

How to set iContact on TF3D-Peoples-Tab´s left key

to whatever you want.
Have you managed to get iContact to work okay as I have found the text to be far too small to be useable.

Thanks for the quick answer. I will test it.
You have to install the VGA Version of iContact like Burts Edition:

And there are a lot of VGA-Skins, that look very nice on HD:

[SOLVED] Hide tabs in Sense

Hi all,
I'm trying to make a cab which should hide tabs in Manila but for some reason
it doesn't want to hide the tabs.
Does someone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance!
The following registry I've added in the cab, but after the cab is installed and I softreset the device the old registry is still there plus the tabs are still vissible.
This values I copied from device after manual hiding the tab first.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://footprints.page.hidden"=dword:00000002
"Manila://docexplorer.page.hidden"=dword:00000002

Hi,
Just look, may be you need to modifiy the key in:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration\(n° of tab)\Enable=0
But I think the problem if you do like that tab number should be the original number, if you move the tabs cab will not work.

Hi Ct_moi,
Thanks for your answer but that key doesn't exist on my device.

Sorry my bad, after some more investigation, this hides the tabs.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Manila://footprints.page.hidden"=dword:00000001
"Manila://docexplorer.page.hidden"=dword:00000001
Weird as I copied previous values from device.
Anyway it's solved.
Thanks again!

Interesiting,
I was trying something similar for my next release of my kitchen build. Like you I went into the registery and changed the dword to 2 and it made the particular tab hidden, when I tried it as part of a cooked rom it crashed sense.
From what I can tell dword:2 should enable the tab and dword:0 should hide them, but as I said when I tried it, sense just froze on startup.
I am also looking into being able to predefine the order of the tabs as well, so you can cook only the tabs you want and the order you want them. I'll let you know if I come up with anything!

Nono that's not what I did.
This is what I did to discover the registry values of hidden tabs.
First I made a registry dump with Dotfred´s Taskmanager on my device
Second I went into Manila settings/Personalise-Home screen tabs and untabbed the tabs I wanted to hide.
Third, after softreset I made another registry dump after the tabs were hidden
Fourth I compaired the two dumps (before and after) using ´Compair it´ and copied the changes
That´s how I found the values of ´2´
The value ´1´ to hide the tabs was just a wild ques and it worked.
