please help

if you go into start-->settings-->softkey you can change the programs that open with the bottom buttons

I'd like to be able to change these too but I don't seem to have any setting for "Softkey" under settings.

In order to be able to change your today screen softkey functions:
1. Download and unzip SOFTKEYAPPLET.zip.
2. Copy or move SoftKeyAppletEx.cpl into the windows directory of your device.
3. Soft reset.
4. Now when you navigate to Start > Settings > System there is a softkey setting app.
The credit for this goes to someone around here. I don't remember who, but if you search, I'm sure you'll find the original thread(s).

Thanks maxh.
Works perfectly.

Adding an icon to "Programs"

Hi there,
Not quite sure how to go about this so might as well ask.
I have downloaded PocketPuTTY to my phone and I can run it by going into File Explorer and navigating to the file itself.
This obviously isn't ideal, so I would like to add it into the Programs menu along with the proper icon for the file.
Can anyone tell me how I can do this or alternatively, point me in the direction of a good good?
I've searched the forums but can't really see anything.

klick 2 seconds onto the exe-file, select copy, then go to your \windows\Start Menu\Programs directory and click into the white background for 2 seconds and use "paste shortcut" and remane it to the name you want....

Shortcut icon for "Connections"

I searched on the phone but could not find this shortcut, wonder anyone know
the shortcut name (is it *.lnk file) and the location for this file?

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
goto
currently have to go via long way ie Start --> Settings --> Connections --> Connections
would like to set this shortcut on the main Today Screen.
Many Thanks...

Try something like that:
Code:
ctlpnl cpl_file,panel_id
For example:
Code:
ctlpnl cplmain.cpl,6
will open backlight adjustment. Try other ID values and other CPL files (for example HTCCPL.cpl). CPLs are stored in \Windows dir, you can find them using Total Commander CE.
If you want just to disable some connections, use NoData:

That was GREAT.
Good question, and good answer.

xperiaICON: Custom Icon for PC

Here's a little X1 icon I threw together for when you're viewing your device on your computer.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can download the icon here.
To have the icon show on your drive:
1) Copy the Icon.ico file to the root of your memory card.
2) Create an autorun.inf file, and add the following to the file:
Code:
[autorun]
label=Xperia X1
icon=Icon.ico
3) Hide the Icon.ico and autorun.inf files (not necessary to keep shown)
Note: This icon will only show in Disk Drive Transfer mode.​

Thanks! I'll give it a go

[Q] Bookmarks On Desktop

I want to create a folder on my desktop & put my chrome bookmarks in there, as I have done with my Note 2.
When I go to save a book mark, the option to save to desktop isn't there, Is there any way round this?
Ta

Within Chrome, you should be able to long press any bookmark and get option to add to home screen. Or long press on as screen and add shortcut/bookmark.
I don't use Chrome, use Xscope. Have an html file exported from Firefox from pc, on sd card, that I shortcut to:
