REMAP buttons on HTC HOME plugin

Is it possible to remap the buttons on the htc home plugin (meaning the sms and email buttons located below the clock)?
I would like to be able to open PocketCM Contacts when I press on the sms button.
Would this be possible?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks,
htctoucher

Have you tried to search??

yeah i have tried, just I could not find anything..
I searched "remap htc touch home buttons" and every variant of these words I could think of on XDA and Google.. couldn't find any answers
have any ideas?
or did I miss a thread?
thanks

Martinhdk, I'd say at least answer the question for him. Simple Answer: you can't.

oh well.. thanks for the answer haha

As in it's impossible to get the buttons to map to different things, or it is not really feasible (as in, it would take an enormous amount of work and programming skill)?
I was just wondering about this the other day. I have HTC Touch and I noticed that when I click on the mail button it brings me to my MMS inbox, however I would like it to bring me to my exchange inbox. Is this something which just isn't supported by HTC Touch, or is it something that no one (to your knowledge) has managed to code yet?

Hell, nothing is impossible. Look at what Slither has done with the cube! However, the HOME plugin is hardcoded to link to the things it does. There aren't any registry settings to mess with unfortunately.

When you click on the mail button, you should have a menu button on the bottom. Click on it and goto tools then options.
This screen allows you to navigate to the box you wish. There is also a box at the bottom that you can check which says : "display account picker when opening message" this lets you choose from all your accounts.
If you want it to only go to the exchange account, you have to make sure that asterick * is next to that account if not you need to change in the settings and then when you click on mail it will go to that box!
Hope this helps!

How do I get the * , to display next to the account I want. I seem to be missing something

Just de-select the box for display account picker.
Then while on the same screen, touch the account you want to have come up when you press the email icon and that should do the trick!

I can't get it to pick up my email account automatically it just keeps constantly going into SMS instead of email when I hit the email button on the HTC Home. Very annoying! Any ideas?

A Couple of Questions for the HD2 gurus...

as a happy HD2 owner, i have the following questions, if possible to be done:
1. Is it possible to link a Facebook Profile to a contact with full finctionality Except Contact PHOTOs! i have good photos of people in address book that i dont want them to be replaced with Facebook photos.
2. is it possible to open a TAB IN BACKGROUND in Opera!! [like opera PC]
3. My Lock screen does not show 3 locks [i.e as in the manual] when there is a message or a notification! it has only one sliding lock showing numbers of notifications. i.e. no direct unlock that goes to messages or so...
4. is there a good SMALL software that can TURN on/off Airplane mode automatically at scheduled times?
thanks in advance....

1. Yes, in the contacts option you can choose whether it uses Facebook, Outlook or another photo for the contact.
2. Not that I know of
3. You click on the main lock when you have unread messages/emails/missed calls and more slidey dudes come up that you can slide to go to the appropriate tab.
4. Probably... can't help there.

thanks alot. as for slides to unlock, nope, they dont come up.
one more question though
5. i cant find a way to "SEND / Recieve " all email accounts at once! each has to be done separately!!!

Sync email send/receive
4. The send key if held, takes you to a menu where you can choose to turn off phone(airplane). It is definitely possible to do it on a schedule. I saw it once but wasn't interested due my concern about power management gremlins.
5. There is an app called email scheduler by Gundensoft, see the website.
You can set scheduling for each account, and turn them on and of when you want.
I know you want a way to do them all at once manually, but I can only offer this suggestion to do it automatically.

When you edit a contact if you click on the area their picture is in the top right corner it will come up with a menu on where to upload the new photo. Hope that helps.

please see this post for an excerpt from the user manual about this.

email signature

does anyone know how to edit the email signature?
It currently says "Sent from my HTC" but i would like to change this.

Go to Messages-Tab, click on "Inbox" --> right softkey --> Extras --> Options --> in the lower right of the screen is a "signature-button"...

Hi,
The following works for me on stock ROM 1.66 (Maeffjus' suggestion doesn't). Go to Mail tab. Press Inbox, Menu then Tools (you may need to scroll down to see this item)/Options. Near the bottom of the screen is a box marked "Signatures". Press this and the box containing "Sent from my HTC" appears and you can now change it. Press OK in top right to save your change. Remeber and do this for each email account in question.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the tip. Its nice to make it more personal.

I'm using a T-Mob 2.10 rom... sorry for the wrong tip..

Hey, it's not wrong, just different. If JamesHillton is on the same ROM as you it will work perfectly .

Seen from this point of view, I will agree and regret my excuse

Thanks for the advice, i was looking in the account settings options and couldnt find anything there. Im also on the Vodafone 1.66 Rom, so your advice was spot on.
Thanks again.

Cool. Glad to have been of help.

Here is how you do this. Its much easier to find with the old interface.
Tap Start > E-mail > Menu > Options > Signatures and then select the account to which you want to add your signature.
Select the Use signature with this account check box, and then enter your signature in the provided text box.
Check Use when replying and forwarding to add your signature to replied and forwarded messages

thanks..but it's look great with HTC logo..can or not?

Edit Signature

Probably the "Owner" card when you pull down the notification bar and go to quick setting.
Click the card twice, and click edit.

Go into the People app, make sure there is a contact containing your information. Pull down the notification shade and select the quick settings icon (or pull down using two fingers). Press and hold the owner square (top left) and select the contact card.

Hi,
klvnhng:- I have provided the snapshot. On pulling down the notification bar it shows "OWNER" icon, I want to add detail to it.
exb0:- Yes, you are right, but on clicking the icon twice it tells "The contact doesn't exists". Even if I have made a contact by "OWNER" name in my people list.
Please help guys.

im sure u wud have used a particular gmail id for logging in
create a contact with that email alone and tthen check that space..
i have my logging email as the owner
pls see if it helps..
if so let me know:victory:

Are you syncing contacts with Google? On my owner square it has my Google + profile picture. Maybe try setting up an account picture through that. I never even seen "owner" on my square, just my picture.

Yes you are right, I use a particular email for logging in.
"create a contact with that email alone", I didn't get you.
creating a contact with the email that I used to logging in, is it?

Doesn't it ask you to fill out your name when you first start up the phone?
That's where I see my owner info from...

Hi,
Actually my cousin bought it for me from the US. And he started the mobile first.
So it didn't asked me for the "Owner" set up.
Please sort it out.

Are you signed into your Google account? That's where your phone gets the owner info (go to Settings - Accounts - Google).

Same here, no entered name in my google account. You can write down as you wish.

Yes, I have my name in google account. Why it is not synchronizing name from google account?

After unrooting & setting my Nexus 4 backup, I skipped the part in the setup to add a owner of the device. After awhile trying different things, I managed to get my owner info back on the phone.
All you need to do is add your info to the People app, Then it will show in the notification area that you are the owner. Or you could sign into Google+ & your owner info will sync back to your phone.
:good:
