softkeys - JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General

Hi,
i was just wondering, how do you change the softkeys on the imate jamin?
thanks

start -> Settings/Einstellungen -> buttons/Tasten

i want to change the buttons on the today screen from calender abd contact to something else.

Try this.
1.Unrar.
2.Put it in \windows.
3.Go to Start>settings>system>softkey and do whatever you want . :lol:

Where did the attachment gone?
Can someone put it there again.

Well.. now I was able to download it.

thanks, will give it a try later.

For some reason on myJAMin I can never execute Messaging from the Messaging.lnk file in Start Menu>Programs - it simply doesn't work. So when I use your applet to set the left key to Messaging I need to manually replace Messaging.lnk by \Windows\tmail.lnk in your Open value for Key 112. I have also replaced the Messaging.lnk in Start Menu>Programs by a shortcut to \Windows\tmail.lnk and renamed it to Messaging.lnk. All of this is sure strange because on my Treo 700W it all works OK.
Thanks for the applet,
Frank

Worked great thanks

Thanks worked for me too. Also have the same problem though when assigning the send sms button to one of the softkeys.
Also another question : how do you assign speed dial to a soft key can not find it in the list.
Thank you!

Thanks alot, it worked with my Neo. But I cannot assign "New SMS and New MMS" to the softkeys, any solutions for this bros?

New SMS being assigned to the Softkey comes up with the error saying tnsms.exe file missing. I believe that APPLET is ripped of some device where there new SMS were started within this program. Any solution known yet?

I had the same issue..
Just copy the file attached (unzip first ofcourse) into your windows folder (on your mobile)
Works like a charm!

Mighty Jesus, that really helped. Thanks.Where did you get the file from?

I made a CAB to automatic install of SoftkeyAppletEX.cpl (from BuzzDev). Now you can put it into ext_rom

removal
how do you remove this softkey app?

Remap Today left soft-key

If anyone is interested in changing the left soft key on the Today page, the registry key is as follows:
KEY: HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
String Value: Default -> Name to Display
String Value: Open -> "Path to exe"
For example, I changed Calendar to "Comm Manager" as follows:
Value: Default set to Comm Mgr
Value: Open set to "\Windows\CommManagerLink.exe"
No need to restart phone.
hey, how about the weather icon ? i got no use for it...can that also be remapped ? and which registry editor do you recommend ?..thank you
How about adding the New SMS function
I'v downloaded the "New SMS.lnk" file and had a look at the text in it which is as follows:
49#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to ""-body""
Can this be used? I haven't managed so far
Thanks,

Yup, just do not use the 49#.
Can't get it to work.
Name changes fine but application is always Calendar that opens.
On a soft-reset it reverts back to Calendar as per default.
Would you mind checking that it works on your device please?
thanks,
use "softkey aplet" it can change both soft key to any application installed in your device.
Copy softkey.apl into Windows folder an you will find program icon in the setting page. Start-setting-system-soft key
I use this file since WM5 and really not remember who is create this great applet but BIG thanks to them.
and a BIG thanks to you too...works fine
Add that one to my list of indispensibles
I can't fin the windows directory when i'm browsing with windows vista (even by showing hidden files and folders) :/
So i put it into my memory card and tried to move it directly by my Touch but it's like the .CPL file is hidden too.
Any help ? (i'm sorry i'm a rookie at this).
Just tried it on mine with XP
The Show hidden files/folders works fine here.
Maybe Vista?
Can anyone else using vista confirm?
Failing that, copy it to you My Documents folder, then hold your cursor on the screen underneath the last file. You'll get an option to "Show all files"
Can you delete Softkey Applet after you apply the changes?
Thanks, actually i forgot to show systems files into my Touch, i could install it and it worked Great little program !
this is freak'n great thanks!!!

where u got the new sms?
Here are the files
Unzip the NewSMS file and save the .lnk file in your \Windows\Start menu\programs directory
Now install the Soft key Applet .cab and point one of your soft keys to the NewSMS program (I found there were two. One works, one doesn't)
Done

The \Windows folder on your Touch is a system folder, and Vista doesnt display them. Go to folder options, and check the "Show system files" option. No open your Touch on Vista, go to \ and there you go \Windows

erm... how to get to \Windows\Start menu\programs directory? but before save the .ink file, do i need to install any program to support this newsms?
No new prog required to support it lunarken
It's a shortcut to open the sms prog and start with a new, blank message.
If you can't find your Windows folder on the Touch, hold your stylus below the last file in File Explorer and select "Show all files".
If you're running Vista, you apparently ned to make sure you have "Show System files" selected.
It only needs to go in the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder so that the Soft Key Applet can find it.

This tab was only working in WM6, but with the guide posted in this thread it's possible to have it also in WM5
WM5?
I tried it, but on WM5 it doesn't do anything?
It also does not work for me.
It only produces a huge empty space on my Today-Screen.
I am using WM5
This one won't work for wm5. There is a thread somewhere on xda-d for a wm5 working version. Don't have the link on me, sorry.
It worked for me and I am using WM5. I just followed the directions.
But I cannot find the weather xml file anywhere...
For some reason the Message tab keep bringing up MMS and it used to default to Outlook.
Is there a setting somewhere that I am missing?
Thanks
Joe

Awesome board you guys have here, I'm loving everything I'm finding. Two questions-
1. Where can I find the H_0409_WeatherCities.xml file? I searched the board and google, no luck.
2. How can I change the color on the start menu bar, and the bar at the bottom with the soft keys? I want to make them black, to match.
Appreciate the help.

Link Rhodium 'All People' to a softkey/hardkey

Is this remotely possible, I find that HTC finally got it right with the All People part of the People Tab.
I really have no use for the tab itself but just go their to use the all people which has the contact/favs/call history simular to iContact so what I would like to do is use GreenButton to hook All People to the Green Send Key.
I would like this "all people" to link to the left soft key on the homescreen. I know how to remap the key, by changing HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila\HomeLSKPath. But I don't know what to put there... Does anybody know the original command for the "all people"-screen???
Try creating a shortcut with
"\Windows\ManilaShortcut.exe" people
Then you can set it to a button. Works for me, hope it helps.
Or this:
"Manila://people/browserlayer/peopleAll.page"
Create link in Start Menu
Hi iggy
You need to create a .lnk file shortcut in the Start menu folder and then use the buttons setting to map it to the long press green button. A .lnk is just a .txt file with the extension renamed to .lnk.
The start menu folder is:
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\
Copy this command into a text file:
44#"\Windows\Manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people/browserlayer/peopleAll.page
Rename the extension to .lnk and copy into the start menu folder.
Cheers
andrew-in-woking
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila:HomeLSKPath->"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
Don't forget the quotation marks...it's really important

Restart Manila...be happy!
Works fine for me...

Screen rotation (2010/01/08)

Hello to ALL
On the various forums for the HD2 exists much proposals/solutions to change the orientation of the screen.
I did not find ANY Simple solution to do it, much cab are totaly disproportionate for this simple function !!!!!!
I am in favour of the simple solutions: to pass in landscape only when necessary.
Who is able to provide me a SIMPLE procedure to make available, in the icon "Button", the “TALK/SEND” button ?????
I use HD2TWEAK and I could thus assign to a long support the rotation of the screen.
Many many thanks for your help
Paterr
I've coded a simple app to do what you've asked.
Unzip the attachment on your PC and copy the 2 files to the windows folder on your phone. Then, when you long-hold on the call button it will toggle the screen rotation between portrait and landscape.
Hope this helps
Edit:
I've updated this application a couple of times, and it now comes with a GUI so you can select what orientation you want to toggle with.
It's available from the following thread...

Thank you for CERegEditor program.
But I cannot “change” some registers: (HKLM/System/GWE/Touch/Filter/Minimumtaptime).

An idea?????
Sorry but I have a new question:
The “Contacts” icon list the Contacts AND the SIM content;
Do you know a solution (register) to list ONLY the Contacts in order to preserve the SIM content????
Thanks again

Hi, I unzipped the attachment and get a PLtoggle.exe file and a shortcut folder marked long_send. I've copied both files to my phone and installed the PLToggle hotfix, but when I long hold the call button nothing happens. WHat am I doing wrong?

Did you copy them to the windows folder?
And what do you mean "installed the PLToggle hotfix"???
Incidentally - there's a new version of this app. See the link in my sig to find it.

I copied them onto my card storage, located PLToggle.exe using file explorer, pressed it and it installed onto my phone and then restarted.
I've heard of folk talking about the windows folder before, what are you referring to when you say windows folder?

Okay - running the exe doesn't install it. Copying it to the windows folder is all you need. (It's not like installing a cab file).
In file explorer go to Menu and select "Show all files". Then, in the root folder of your device, you will have a windows folder. You need to copy PLToggle and long_send into that folder.
I tried and it did very good to rotate my garmin mobile XT.
I will pass this link to my friends.
Thank You, man!

Can you try the one in my signature - PLToggle?
That is a more up-to-date version. I'd actually forgotten about this thread, so I'll delete the original cab and just link the new version.
Thanks for the reminder
Let me know how you get on.
