Hey guys,
I have a questions about the "Contacts" soft key. I recently installed and then uninstalled Contacts Breeze on my 8125. After uninstalling, the "Contacts" seems to have lost it's path. When I press the button, it doesn't take me to my contacts. I now have Pocket Informant installed. Is it possible to change the path in the registry to direct me back to the default Contacts or PI's Contacts?
Also, is it just me or is the ringer not loud enough?
Thanks for your help.
no idea about the contacts softkey, but my ringer's quiet too. I read somewhere that it depends on what ROM you have. I'm on 02 UK
Been checking here, hofo, and other forums and still can't find the fix. Can anyone tell if it is possible to change the path of the Contacts right soft key back to it's default location?
phaijai: check in the wiki for how to change the softkeys to whatever you want.

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
Code:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
Code:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
Code:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
Code:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created.
Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

First let me apologize for my ignorance.
I have an MDA PRo that was updated with an I-mate ROM.
My keyboard is the german QWERTZ but the ROM is in english.
I wouldn't be bothered if only had to adjust to typing the z for y and the y for z but other characters are out of place.
I have searched threads about this and have I found information about changing the registry. I have gone into my registry but I am not sure how to make the changes.
Can anyone be so kind as to help me to change the registry?
Thank you so much
Inger

I stole this from the wiki, as I'm poking around and editing it.
Change slide-out keyboard layout
If you have a Device from one country, but would like to use the keyboard layout of another, you can change the keyboard's language setting to do so...
For US layout (QWERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1033 (DWORD decimal)
For German layout (QWERTZ):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1031 (DWORD decimal)
For French layout (AZERTY):
HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd\Locale = 1036 (DWORD decimal)
For other codes, see: http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/winxp/xp-lcid.mspx
If you need to know how to implement any of this, let me know.

To implement this, you will need a registry editor. I like Resco's the best. It is not free, but it does have a 14-day trial, so you can make a number of quick, functional changes to your phone.
If you need a walkthrough, I'll be happy to help.
Whoops. Can someone delete the first one? >_> Didn't realize I posted twice.
Walk through
Thank you so much for your response.
I loaded Resco and went to the registry.
I found - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd
but in that folder there is no "Locale" .
I am not sure what to do from here.
Please walk me through it. This is much appreciated.
Thanks again,
Inger
Hmm.
When you are in the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd folder, create a new value:
Menu > New > DWORD Value
Name
Locale
DWORD Data
1031
Once you do that, close everything, and restart your phone. Let me know.
Ok I did that but it didn't work .
Thanks so much though.
Do you have any suggestions?
Inger
......>_>
Let me do some searching. <_<
I have attempted to create my own values, and sometimes they work, sometimes not.
What version ROM do you have? 2.26?
No its version - 1.13.53 WWE

[still looking]
Thanks for the help, i tried a different setting and it worked! Without you... I would have still been lost. This is what i did:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty
layout - 132103 (decimal)
Thanks so much again
Inger
Oooooo.
Very nice.
I'm sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I'm glad it's working out for you.
does anyone know how to reprogram the contact key to open a different program, i would like my to open a different "contact" program each time i press the contact key but instead it opens up the original contact... the one i want to open has pictures contact... the ony way i have been able to open it is by going to where i stored the program on my device...
is there anyway to change it... i did see another post about contact but that didn't solve my delimma...
Here is a link to a soft key applet:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=226198#226198
It adds a setting in your Control Panel that allows you to change the soft keys to any program you want.

hi all,
is there a way to swich the contact button to classic contacts view instead of PocketCM view?
thanks

This is the solution:
First download and install a Registry Editor, then You can do it in two simple step:
1st step:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS
Change "String 1" value from "\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe" to ":MSPOUTLOOK contacts".
Make sure that you DO NOT ADD the "" on the new entry: (only :MSPOUTLOOK contacts)
--------------------------
2nd step: Remove the application from the softkey
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys
in "keys" DELETE entire key called "113"
which have Strings:
"Default" set to "Contacts" and
"Open" set to \Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe
Now you can press "contacts" softkey and phone open default "contacts" view!
enjoy the difference..
star, thanks

Help can someone tell me the proper registry setting?
Hi I was trying to put the icaller registry setting back to normal I was supposed to manually edit the registry: inside HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS, set
parameter "1" to "\Windows\poutlook.exe Contacts".
But I screwed up and set parameter "0". Can someone that has the default tell me what's supposed to be there? My previous registry backup apparently didn't do a full backup of the registry so I can't read it. Thanks.
Sorry, I meant iContact above, not iCaller.
Hi Guys,
What do you think are the best registry edits on the TD2 and what do they do?
I have been looking through the old ones for the TD1 and i have been changing thinks like the GPS enable on the camera ETC.
Any good suggestions you might have to improve the TD2 experience would be gratefully appreciated
yah.like a compilation of regedits would be great along with its description
the only one I know if PHM regedit, it works fine with the D2
sk tools
sk tools...the best! cleanes , optimises,...the whole lot
i think he don't mean the best registry editor. He means the hack to do with the reg editor.

You're absolutely right

Dear All,
How to remove or delete the new key from PHM Registry Editor? Thank you.
Autolock
"Automatically lock your Diamond 2 (from way back in the daimond days)
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\BackLight\AutoDevic eLockEnable from 0 to 1 and everytime your backlight goes off the device is locked"
When I do this my device locks itself automatically after few secons even though I've set the backlight to go off after 30 seconds. Does anybody have a solution that can handle this problem?
thanks!
Code:
Manila Home softkeys:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
String HomeLSKArguments //app argument, optional
String HomeLSKPath //app path
String HomeLSKText //left softkey text
String HomeRSKArguments //same, but for key on right side
String HomeRSKPath
String HomeRSKText

You mean that after this hack Manilla will auto-rotate according to its orientation, or will it PERMANENTLY be in landscape mode?

I can't get this to work for TomTom, basically I have :
1. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\ModuleName
String: Mobile Navigator Value: \Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Audio Fix.exe
2. Add string value to HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
String: Mobile Navigator Value: TomTom Audio Fix
Not sure what is wrong here.
I think you have to add tomtom itself instead of the audio fix, because the audio fix loads the tomtom app.
[Edit] Just read the previous post, apparently I'm wrong.

I use a program called changescreen, it auto rotates by default but you can specifiy which apps you don't want to rotate. This works for TomTom + everything else. I didn't want to have to use an app to rotate, I'd rather have the phone take care of it but the rotate implementation on the D2 is pretty half-arsed. The reason I have to use this is because I'm left handed and tilt clockwise, htc in their infinite wisdom only tilts anticlockwise, for right handed people.
