Help | Softkey mappings for the Phone Dialer and Contacts ..

Guys
What are the softkey settings for the Phone Dialer and Contacts? Basically, I want the left softkey to be the phone dialer and the right one to be the contacts on the today screen.
How do I do this using the SoftKey applet?

Start reading this from post seven...

Please tell me again how does that help me .. I have already downloaded and installed this app as specified in this thread ..
But I cant find the location to the phone dialer and contact programs .. So, I am not able to set them up correctly ..

Phone dialer is cprog.exe in windows.
Contacts is "poutlook contacts".
Just find the appopriate shortcuts in your \windows\startmenu and examine the existing shortcuts.

Thanks Vijay. That's exactly what I was looking for .. Why couldnt rename it to something simple ..
Another stupid question .. How do I examine the shortcuts?

Use gsfinder/resco/total command and choose to view properties, noramlly by press and hold on filename.
Otherwise drop it into notepad!

Uhm, am I missing something? Why would you want to map the dialer under the left softkey? When you press the green phone key (next to the softkey) it will launch the dialer already.

Because it is much easier for one-handed operation .. it's difficult to reach down and click the green phone key .. with just one hand ..

New SMS link to home screen?

is there a way to do this, our maybe just a shortcut to the quick menu (same as the one that launches when you slide open Keypad. Or it would be nice to assign it a key via a good key map ap since the built in key map ap doesn't have settings for long press :-(
Suggestions any1?

Hi
U can Use 'AE Button Plus' where U can assing a long press to eny button, or U can sinply remap one of your soft keys

Cool, ok thanks, I just thought there was a way to call the quick tasks which is already there in the phone, and launches when you slide out flip.
Will try AE.
Thanks!

Hi,
I was just about to post the same question. Is it possible to call up the "keyboard quick tasks" that you get when you slide open the phone as a hard button or a soft button (task or something).
Anyone know?

Hi
the task screen can be lunched by mapping one of your soft keys to windows\HTCActionScreen.exe , or u can copy a shortcut of this file to the windows\start menu\programs then u will be able to assign a hardware button to it.
shlomi.

I uses AEButtons, I assigned a button as LAUNCH A PROGRAM
Which options do I need of creating a new SMS ?

\windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS" -to ""

Thanks a million!

Thanks!!
Aside from AE is there another ap I can use to map? I want to map to a softkey? Instead of calendar I want to put that i also want to remap the contacts soft key to the "phone" menu.

Hi,
Try this: http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-remap-softkeys.html
It worked for me

This one might be even better for your newSMS shrtcut:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-keyswop-v0-2-1.html

for some reason, this doesnt work... i click on browse etc, and nothing happens...

Thanks guys, do any of these aps allow long press action as well atleast you get 4 actions on two buttons
Wish dual had more buttons really like the tytnII :-( I can even find button 2 and 3 which is specified on the buttons application wheer voice recorder and voice commander are mapped too :-(

By the way I got it to work with remap softkey, I used this one coz I am already like the HTC quicktask launcher

I got wisbar advance in the end... thats got a soft button app built into it... which works...
and i also got the htc action commander thing for new txt, new email etc...

hey thanks for the shortcut. one thing tho, the cursor goes to the body first anyway to get it in the "to:" field?

Right now im using Ultimate Launcher and have programmed some gesture action to work with HTC action

Who can make a program for me? $$$

The default call log filter for this phone is "Outgoing Calls". On the HTC Diamond the default is "All Calls". This is much better. Now with my Xperia I have to set the filter each time, it will not remember the filter setting I choose.
Can anyone help making a .exe with the help of:

I'll be glad to donate for this job.

should be a stupid registry tweak... just wait and you will see, no reason for extra program
EDIT: or install dialer from blackstone, i have it and the default setting shows all calls
EDIT2: found install advanced config tool 3.3 and you will find under "phone" section

Thank you! The dialer from blackstone did the trick! advanced config tool 3.3 did not do this for me.
Does anyone know how I can use a shortcut so I can directly access the history log?
Instead of: "Green" Call Button -> Menu -> Call History

if you use touchflo3d you can install directly the call history tab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451644
or you can install something like spb phone suite or similar to have a shortcut on today even with indicator of missed calls

Call history

Hello all,
you know that when you tap the button 'call history' in today screen you get back to windows mobile - which is not so finger friendly and not so good lookin either.
My question is this:
Where can i edit the action of that 'call history' button? i wish it to open a different application.
i tryed ssmapa but it cant do it.
i think i need to edit a registry key or a manila file somewhere but i just dont know which one.
oh, i know there is a tweak putting a call history tab - I don like it and i dont need any more tabs.
thank you.

I too would like to know. When I installed Icontact, and the black dialer, my phone goes into Icontact from Phone->contacts in the black dialer, but i would like it to go to Icontacts from call history on the today screen, that would be nice

The author of SSMaPa claims that the call history is too much integrated in the whole system and so it shouldn't be changed. On the other hand - there should be a way.

i think it should be a way. as it knows to open a ccertain app for call history, it can open another
as i said, i think it is a registry key or a manila file
please help

yes i am looking for this information too
anybody?

The key setting is located under HKLM\Software\HTC\PhoneCanvas\LargeBTN.
I can switch mine from "All Contacts" to "Video Call" but not sure how to change the key to something else or how to add right key function.

thanks!!
