Anyway the device lock be mapped to a soft key instead of a hard key? I have it mapped to the messaging button, but would rather have it at the calendar or contacts button.

A little program called WM5NewMenu should do it. It's free, just put it into a google search.

Thx, but all this did was to let me rename the word "calendar" to "device lock", with the actual calendar program still assigned to the left softkey.

I'm trying to get some directions for the program, from doing a little research on google it looks like you can reassign the button with that program, just have to figure out how. I'll look for some direction on the program.
Ok, I figured it out.
Goto WM5newmenu, under "launch by:" select "Left Softkey" Then under "Soft Key Label:" enter your label (ie. "Lock")
Then goto the "items" tab. select "new" then select the little box next to "parameters:" select "windows" then ""go into" at the bottom.
Scroll over to "BSDeviceLock.exe" then hit "select"
Then enter "lock" or whatever you want under "item label:"
You will see the new entry on the left side of the screen, you may have to scroll down a little. You can uncheck all of the other items and just leave the new "Lock" item you created. After that select ok and do a soft reset.
After it resets, hit your left sofkey, you will see your newly created lock pop up. Then just hit the center button on the pad! It locks!! I just did this and it works!!
Hope this helps,
Just found this, it's even better then WM5newmenu:
Reassign left softkey on Today screen to open Notes application
Use Total Command to navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
Change the “Default” key to the name that you want to appear on the button (in my case Notes)
Change the “Open” value to the location of the program you want to open (in my case “Windows/Notes.exe” ( you would enter “Windows/BSdevicelock.exe”)
Perform a soft reset
Look in your windows folder to see if you have BSdevicelock.exe if you don't let me know and i'll get it to you.

I did the registry edit, and when I tap the left soft key, I get "the file device lock cannot be opened due to an untrusted certificate, or one of its components is missing." I could NOT find BSdevicelock.exe in the Windows folder. Where in windows should this file be located?
I would like that BSdevicelock as well, if I could.
Its in the root windows folder, you probably don't have it.
I'll attach it as soon as I get home from work tonight!
Just copy it into your windows directory.
BSDevicelock
Just unzip this and place it in your windows folder with the registry change.
Hope this helps!

Got it good buddy! I kept the other items in WM5NewMenu and labeled the softkey "Menu", and changed BSdevicelock in the label box to Device Lock. Now all I do is hit the new softkey "Menu", scroll to device lock, hit the center button on the D pad. Device locks like you said it would! I was able to do this after extracting the BSdevicelock.zip to my Windows folder. Excellent instructions! Thx a MILL! If you discover anything else that's appealing, let me in on it..o.k.? Just found out I could move Device Lock to the top. Now I don't have to scroll down.

I use MortSaver (Phone Edition) which locks and blanks screen and relocks/blanks screen after calls/reminders etc..
guys you seem to me to be making this quite hard for yourselves
use this softkey app to change the softkeys (3rd post)
use this device lock app.
go to start/settings/system/softkey and select the device lock app
and soft reset, softkey changes generally don't occur until after

None of your "this" links worked for me. Besides, I'm content now.
My old simple Nokia 6200 had a feature whereby the keypad was locked automatically without need for a PIN three minutes (selectable) after a call when there was no activity.
Is there any easy way to implement this ? I can map H/W keys (thanks to Molski) but this isn't quite the same.

Is BSdevicelock better than the lock app already on the device in the Windows folder??
The app im talking about is called devicelock.exe on my device. I have an HTC Wizard
I did not have devicelock.exe in my windows folder originally. BSdevicelock is just a little program that simply locks the device. I don't have devicelock.exe, but I imagine they probably do the same thing. I think BSdevicelock is actually installed by the BatteryStatus program. If you have a later version of Battery Status, you should have BSdevicelock.
Hi there,
I have a big problem with my Softkeys on the X1. By default left and right softkeys are assigned to calendar and contacts... but this does not match with my interests
By changing "left softkey" to "Start Menu" in "buttons" (or "keys", don't know exactly, because I use a german firmware), it opens the start menu... so far so good, but: It always opens the start menu. No matter what a menu says. "Close" e.g. does not close the screen, it opens the start menu
Now I'm useing a tool (called "remap softkeys") and changed the right softkey to comm manager, which works pretty well. Unfortunately I don't know, which command opens the start menu.
My target configuration opens the Comm Manager with the right softkey and the start menu with the left softkey in the homescreen. All options in all other screens which are dedicated to the left and right softkey should be kept.
I hope you can help me

Ok here's the file you need. Unzip and Map the softkey with the prog you have to Startmenu.exe. I am using this as well. The EXE is NOT made by me, unfortunately I can't find the site where I downloaded it anymore... Anyway it's freeware. Enjoy.
Thanks
Works perfectly! This is exactly what i've been looking for.
Thank you very much
You could have a look at X1BC or my X1ButtonMapper. These programs give you a lot more options regarding button remapping and they are small and for free.
I need some help with this, in my popup menu the first line, and the arrowheads at the top and the bottom are gone, i have to tap on them to make them appear, I believe but I am not sure it was after an optimizatio with SKtools Optimize option, I just tapped on it and the device resarted, I tried changing the pop up menu in the sktools tune up option but it didnt work because I thought it was the issue, also when I open resco exlorer there is an empty space between the program and the bottom bar, (see screenshots) please guys help i dont want to hard reset
Omnia II Runnin WM6.5 downloaded from pcStudio
I was able to remove these when i first got my phone, but now ive changed roms and need to do it again, i cannot find out how to delete some of the icons in the bottom taskbar, ie. footprints,music,social club,stocks etc...
whats the way to get rid of a few, have tried googling, searching this site and am not having any luck
thanks
first of all, what you are referring to are called "tabs" on the "tab bar" of manila/sense. knowing this will help you refine your searches next time.
the process for modifying the order and visibility of tabs is simple! on the home tab, open the menu bound with the right soft key called "Menu". the second option called "Personalize Home Screen Tabs" should do the trick!
in some cooked ROMs, this menu is removed and replaced with other custom options. on such ROMs, swipe to the Settings tab and choose "Personalize". there you will find the same option named "Home screen tabs".
I have an HTC HD Mini with Manila 2.5.20131825.3 I am not sure which program I did uninstall and the quicklaunch icon asociated to that program become light grey.
Now when I clic on that icon a message appears sayin that "" file cannot be open...
Can anyone tell me on which file or registry key does the manila save the quicklaunch links so I can erase this entry because using the gui I cannot either remove it or add a new one instead. It is becomeng me crazy as hell.
Thanks a lot!!!!
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home
Key 0 is the 1st quick launch, I had something strange where it would not let me apply a shortcut, I'd select the program, ok it, but it would not change the icon or run it when tapped, turned out the reg key for that quick launch had disappeared somehow, I may have un-installed an app, but I cannot remember now, ended up exporting an existing key, renaming it using notepad on my laptop, then importing it again, worked after that
