Registry Keys for Soft Key Mappings? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I'm sure i saw a thread with this on, i cant find it for the life of me though..
Can anyone assist ?

Here it is:

Or here

Thanks guys
EDIT - however, when i make the change using PHM Regedit.. it changes the label of the soft key but not the functionality.
...and after a soft reboot it changes the label back too :S
Any ideas?

just tried it, it's great!
don't do a soft reset, switch the phone off with the power button.
some reg changes only work on a re-start.
also changed right key as well
thanks for sharing

Thats correct, but you can't point that to specific exe's though. There's only a list of apps to choose from.

VoiceDial button will not disable on M500

Has anyone managed to disable the voicedial button on their M500. Every now and then I hear this woman in my pocket saying "do you want to dial........" I keep getting the mick taken as I'm shouting at my phone "goodbye goodbye quit goodbye" before it closes.
I tried going into Start > Settings > Personal > Buttons and changing Button 4 to <none> and have also tried setting to Tasks or MortSaver without success.
Any help would be much appreciated.
I feel for ya bro! I have the exact same problem, hope someone will come save us, cause my throat is getting hoarse of shouting at my phone to friggin' quit!
Same LOOOOOOOOOOL
Can't reload old button, I try regedit, but nothin...
u can have the program completely uninstalled.. but it will cost u a hard reset!!!
there was a hack to not install the orange software on the device- u just soft reset b4 the orange software installs, after u have tapped the screen 4 times!!
and then from the extended rom u can just choose whether 2 install the voicedial..
What i did on my M500, hacked the registry and changed the path to the voicedail.exe. Try searching for "voicedail.exe" in the reg. with some reg. tools. You'll find one string in an OEM subdir with the path to voicedail.exe. Empty this value. Save and exit.
Prob softreset
Press the button and hey, it doesn't do **** . I know this isn't the cleanest way but it sure does beat an hard reset! I've set button 4 to the program Deltralock so I can lock the device with one press of an hardware button without WMP/Betaplayer crapping out. Cheers!

Where is GPS control panel on Qtek 9100????

Where is GPS control panel on Qtek 9100???? Funny, the help describes in detail where it should be, but it is not there
I tried this:
WM5 built in GPS control panel
For some reason this is not active in the settings of the JASJAR. To make it visible do the following:
Fire up a registry editor
Go to: HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
Delete the DWORD marked "hide"
Add a DWORD called "Group" and give it the value of "2" (dec)
The GPS panel will now show up in your connection settings.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Soft-reset the qek 9100, but still can't find it in the Connections??
Help pls? :shock:
There is also a 'redirect' entry in that registry location.. remove that one, and it will apear in your settings menu
Hello
You have to
keep the Hide key but change the value to 0 and
delete the redirect value and
soft reset
then it appears

Thats why you are supposed to SET IT!
So once again....
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MASCHINE\ControlPanel\GPS Settings
1. Remove the REDIRECT
2. Add DWORD Hide and set Value to 0
3. Add DWORD Group and set Value to 2
4. Soft-Reset*
5. There ya go!
Its not that hard - just follow the directions and you will succeed!
*Be sure to do a correct Softreset! Either use a tool like Pocketplus to do a softreset or turn off the ppc by pushing the powerbutton very long untill you are asked if you really want to turn off the device.
That way the changes made to the registry are really saved to the ROM !

Does this mean I can force my GPS receiver to communicate with designated ports on my Vario?
And if so how do I get it working properly?

Get yourself the GPS Menu in the settings and you'll get total control over the used COM PORTs used by the navigation software and the navigation hardware.
i tried that hack today, but i have the problem that my wizard "resets" the reg entries i changed to the default (only redirect)
I'm using the 2.18 german qtek rom, any ideas? I think a cab file would help.

You have to wait a while before register changes would be in the ROM, dont soft-reset immediately, or you could just turn your device off with the power button (hold it for 5 secs.) and turn it on again.
But then again.....this hack doesn't work on the latest Rom's
The latest Roms don't have the GPS control panel in it, I also tried it but didn't work.
i waited some time, then soft resets and it works! thanks! (2.18 Rom)

Well, I've tried to play with different hardware/software port settings; neither MioMap nor Google Maps see whichever port I set. Anyone found a good combination?

This thread is over three years old, so you might not get many responses. To answer your question, I use Program port 0 and Hardware port 6 in External GPS. The latteer port must match the port you assigned in the bluetooth settings. Make sure you disable the check mark that sets up a secure connection. This is also found in the bluetooth settings.

Cleartype in landscape mode reg hack problem

I did the usual reg hack hklm/system/gdi/cleartypesettings/0 switched off phone to reset & it works for a few times but then it reverts back to normal on its own accord. Checked the reg setting & it shows 1 again. Any ideas, because its driving me mad having to change it again & again.
I use Orange SPV M3100 & PHM Regedit

Try Twkcl.exe
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=15688
Maybe the solution, it works for my Tytn:
Make the registery change as described for the wizard.
Go to landscape (keyboard slided out) en go to start, settings, system, Screen, General (must be landscape), ClearType, enable ClearType.
Then: make a softreset not using youre stylus but trough the On/Of button, or Softreset trough other possibilties.
After a couple of resets it still works till now! Just testing right now the stylus reset: result: [email protected], so that is really the problem. Using the stylus hole softreset (what's the name for it? Resetbutton for stylus?).
So again procedure as descriped above en never use the resetbutton for stylus anymore until somebody discoverd a solution for it!
Has someone did the trick allready?
I'm going to try such trick, thanks..
I think that's an HTC issue, because it happens also on Qtek 9090...
On Motorola MPx I changed reg value one time and it always worked across lots of soft resets.

i never use 'resetbutton', but always resetting device with on/off button. even with that, cleartype in landscape mode seems to be lost after couple of resets (or maybe, offs/ons).
Can anyone confirm whether or not Twkcl.exe works?

At least you did get it to work. I have no luck with this method at all.
As I mentioned before, Twkcl.exe works well for me. Maybe you wanna try that and forget about tweaking the registry.
I think I know ur problem, try closing the reg editor from memory running programs screen before you reset. That worked for me, but am going to try twkcl now to get it to stay.
that's odd... I followed the instructions for TwkCL but it makes no difference, the reg setting goes back to normal after the 2nd reset.
I physically copied TwkCL.exe to the extended_rom, then edited the config file, that's all I need to do right?
Nothing happened so I edited the registry as normal and it just went back as usual.
Hope someone can help,
Cheers.

No need such complication....simply copy Twkcl.exe into the \Windows\Startup folder will do.
I believe the instruction is for effecting automated configuration during hard-reset so that Twkcl.exe will be copied to your STARTUP folder after each hard-reset.
Marvellous.
Thanks!

[TRICK]Look: how to change softkeys in TFLO!

Hey.
Here is the way to change the homekeys IN TFLO 3D.
In a registry editor, go to:
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/
Here is:
HomeLSKPath, which is the left softkey (Standard = Phonepad)
And
HomeRSKPath, which is the right softkey.
If you change these with the location of the programs you want to link to, and simultaneous change the names:
HomeLSKText = Left softkey text
And
HomeRSKText = Right softkey text.
Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)
BY "teddyen66"
Hi
Have tried it but can't get the labels or items opened to change. Can you post an example of the string you're using?
Thanks alot. Finally some usefull apps on the softkey!!!
;-)
Nice one Moooooa *blink* *blink*

Changed Phone to Camera as I find it a pain in the ass to get the camera up and running quickly! Who needs Phone - as pressing the Call key does the same thing.

Nice thought! I was thinking the same as well, or the other alternative is to activate/deactivate Bluetooth but does anybody know the string to Enable Bluetooth?
Thanks in advance!
Just wondering - why use registry when you have that option in Preferences?
"Changing the boot picture/sound:
HKLM/Software/HTC/HTCAnimation (startup animation)
and
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Splash Screen (The green WM 6.1 logo)"
So i tried it i just changed the path to another image (jpg) in the internal storage. I got a blank screen.
So does the image you choose have to been in the device?
Does it have to be .png?
If so whats the file path to the device.
Thanks very much or maybe im doing it all wrong you tell me please.
Cheers! thanks!

\Windows\CommManager.exe brings up the Comm Manager, IMO even more useful.
I would love to see configuration of long press of other keys than End Call, though.

Please teach me dude how do you make it to boot your own image. Ive changed the image path but still nothing.
Thanks!
Hi.
I have changed the text on the right button. I want the right button to "link" to my contacts, but I cannot find out what the contacts are called on the Diamond?

Yo dude. I just checked it out.
Try: Start>settings>buttons
However, there is only 1 button that you can set (or maybe that what i know),
from the drop down menu, choose "camera". Viola!
Thru trial and error, i found out that the Button 1 is actually the call button.
Which means: press it once to go into phone mode, long press (hold) to activate camera. Hope that helps.

Right Soft Key keeps getting assigned to "today"

when it should be "right soft key" just like the left soft key should be left soft key
any idea why this could be happening?
i always change it back but after a restart of the phone it always gets assigned back.

Hi,
I also play with this problem a lot - for me it looks that this is a bug of TF3D.
Until reset this can be simple fixed by Settings > Buttons and then assignee Right Key to Right SoftKey. Unfortunately this change is gone after reset.
The same is for Registry edit - it is gone after reset.
Currently I am using AE Button Plus application - in there I assigned Right SoftKey to Right SoftKey - it works even after reset.
Hope this helps.
