I am just a little curious, why do you need it if you can use AE Button Plus

Why I use Smartskey
First of all I have been using smartskey on my Atom since Purchased it a few months ago. Everything is working fine except for when I'm using the phone app I can't use the d-pad to go to contacts, or call history, even though I have the setting to "1".
The reason why I use it along with AEButton plus is b/c it works during some programs that can really utilize it when AE doesn't. Make sense? I use both to their full potential.
I hope this helps.

without using the smartkey you always get the -pad to go to contacts, or call history, to do so, just hold the directional key (up/down/left or right) for a while and then release it, you will get
right key = call history
left key = speed dials list view
up = left key = speed dials icons

Remap softkey for Inesoft Address Book?

I just bought this software and love it!
I want to make it the default app that opens when I press contacts. Is it possible? TIA
Yes you can do it with smartkey here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41060

Maybe you don't know that when you installing this software, it bring about a window asking whether you would like to assign hot key.
If you accept yes, then it would assign contact button to start the inesoft address book
Yeah, I remember it asking me. I wasnt sure if I was going to keep it or even like it so I chose no. Ill try smartskey. Thanks
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe"
Using a reg editor go to this and change windows\calender to ur app location.
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe"

That does the calendar side. I've searched thru my registry for the contacts side and I'm baffled.
SmartsKey doesn't seem to allow you to change what the soft key does, it just adds functionality to it, right?
Sorry i got confused its softkey you want = i think that does it, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=44809&highlight=softkey
New menu for wm5 should do what you want too, see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40088
I got Softskey from ammar.
Great prog and does just what I need it to.
Thanks for the suggestions though.

Yes so simply uninstall and re-install inesoft and choose "YES" and you will no longer use other software to do what you has asked.

Access call list and speed dials like WM2003SE

Dont think anyone has noticed with the TyTN but HTC have re-enabled the feature to quickly access the call list and speed dial list. In the phone app click either Up or Right to access the call list; Down or Left for speed dials.
haha - good one ;-) ... first thing I noticed when I switched on the device; maybe because I came straight from the hw6515 where that's exactly how it works.
Martin
With smartskey (search for it)
in phone application by default
UP :Speed Dial
DOWN: Call History
LEFT : Messaging
RIGHT : Contacts
And if I remember right; also you can change the behaviour of the buttons
Hope this is what u r asking for :lol:
The reason i posted it was because when WM5 was first released this was one feature that was missing that was present on WM2003SE previously.
Dont use smartskey as i came from a BA not a wizard.

OOOPS
I did not notice the re-enabling thing :?
works with the wheel also.
This means one hand dialing really is possible.
Great find

what actually is accessed by wheel? recent calls or speed dial?
Does this function have an on/off setting somewhere. I know I had it before but now for some reason the d-pad won't access call list...? Not sure what happened.
I did realise since I also came directly from a blue angel. I didn't know that it works with the wheel too.
That's great!
The only thing which I find a pity is when I'm in Call Status mode just after finishing a call, then it does not work. Anybody know a way to make it work in call status mode, too?
I did not install the Extended Rom on my o² Trion and this function is not working. I really miss it though.
Does anybody now, what CAB do I have to install? Or did anybody try Smartskey on a TyTN?
Cheers

It has smartskey installed. That is y it is behaving like this.
This is the function of smartskey, you can remove this setting by editting the smartskey.ini you'll get it in windows folder.

You really should use smartskey, makes the wizard easily 1 hand operable. (if you hold down the right softkey it clicks the top right corner (usually X or OK), or u can hold the left softkey and it clicks the Start) And it was installed in the WM6.0 cooked rom by faria.

Chnage anything on there did not do anything, so if you can explain to me what the neck i should chnage i will be happy!!! Just to put the buttons back to normal in the phone app!

Speed Dial... no shortcut

I've found that theres no speed dial shortcut.
On the Touch you simply press the Green Call key, press button down on the thumb pad and all the speed dials are there.. this isn't so on the dual.
has anyone found a easy wasy to find them with less than 5 clicks?
If not, does anyone know what .exe runs the speed dial, so I can create a shortcut on the Start menu.
Tnx

I personally find smart dialing to be a breeze... Just start keying in the first couple of letters and you'll get the matches... I have over 400 contacts and I find it a very efficient way to dial
Aaaaaaww what a great tip! Have had my Touch Dual for a week and had not discovered this gem. Thanks

What about assigning the contact tiles in the Touch Flo as you speed dials? Then you can have pictures of your contacts too?
my "workaround" for your reference:
1. add a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe (i.e. the action screen we get when sliding down the keypad) to Windows\Start Menu\Program Files\
2. now should be able to add HTCActionScreen.exe to the HTC Home Launcher tab
usage:
(click 1) launcher tab -> (click 2) launch action screen -> key in whatever you like with the hardware keypad to enjoy the quickdial feature
just for exp sharing.
But why do you need a shortcut for that?
I you anyway use the hardware keyboard to use quickdial,
why not simply start actionscreen by sliding out the keyboard?

1. when i'm so stupid that i can't press the first key before the action screen timeout and disappear. in this case, i don't want to slide the keypad back and out again.
2. when i want to use the other shortcuts on the action screen.
Hehe, ok
But one hint: u don't need to close and reopen the slider.
The sensor is on the last 5mm.
Just pull it a little bit back and release.

hehe... i really did this previously.
the shortcut was added later when i found that sometimes (though not frequent at all) i may want to access the shortcuts on the action screen without opening the keypad.

How to disable "footprint" on right hardware-button?

Hi,
I would like to disable the footprint-application from the right hardware-button, but it dosn't work. In registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/shell/keys I've made two new entries (40C1 and 40C2), so I can choose now the two hardware-buttons in preferences. But when I lay another program to the right hardware-button, this programm starts together with footprint...
The left hardware-button is no problem, it works fine with every programm I want
Thanks
oese
(sorry for my bad english, I hope you can understand my problem...)
Looks like it is somehow hardcoded into the TouchFLO interface. I managed to "unmap" the left key (simply by uninstalling TomTom), but I had no success with the Footprints key so far.
I think that some program or registry setting is responsible for these keys mapping.
I've managed with ae button plus to assing a different application to these keys, but the default apps run again with the new apps. And I think that because you uninstalled tomtom, just they didn't find the app and for this is not running with the new assinged app.
I don't think that is touchflo related.

I am not sure mate, tried to look almost everywhere in the registry with no success. But I'll keep trying, the Navi and Footprints buttons sux. I'd rather have Diamond's/HD's Back and Home keys, if nothing better.

Got the same result too, when tried to map another app with AEBP.

Sure, I know it just doesn't find the app, but at least it got me rid of TomTom (I am an iGO 8 user). I admit it's quite lousy workaround.
I think I found something.
Seems that the function of these buttons loading as a service.
I've managed to unbind the left button by stop the NaviService(NPS0 and I think that
the service App Service(APP1 is responsible for the right button, but I cannot stop this service.Needed further research though.
EDIT:
I've managed to disable it from registry(HKLM\Services\App). I changed Context and Index values to 0 and seems that the button is unbind now!
Needed to set these services to not automatic start also. This can be done with FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1
Ok, after some time playing around with my registry, I found a workaround how you can start a different program with the footprint button:
(BTW I have a German version so I'm not sure how the features are called in English, so if anyone can describe what I write next clearer, please feel free. Thx)
First you have to go to system preferences. In the system tab you'll find an option where you can make some adjustments about A-GPS and Place Settings. In the left tab you can activate and deactive A-GPS and tell your device which provider to use to access it. In the right tab you can tell the device not to notify you if some HTC software wants to start this feature which monitors the place where you are. Check this box.
This will keep the Google notifier to pop up every time you press the footprint button.
The go to the registry:
\HKLM\Software\HTC\FootCam
and simply change the path in there to any program you want to use with the button. e.g. \Program Files\ThumApps\ThumbCal\Thumbcal.exe
Well, works well, but do you have any idea if disabling these services does not cause any other issues?
After a hard reset I did the following
- installed the 40C1 and 40C2 reg key
- set the the NaviService(NPS0) to manual
Both buttons can now be used by Windows without any issue so far. No more changes were needed for me. Hope that helps. (I have a HTC Guide, that is the O2 branded version)
Sebastian
I mentioned that few posts above.
The problem is that when the NaviService doesn't run, NaviPanel doesn't start automatic when in carkit mode, even if this option is checked in carkit settings screen.

Then use "Start" - "Settings" - "Hardware-Buttons" to change assignment.

Yes It Works,
Followed the steps and it works. I assigned foot prints to put phone in standby ( screen off / on ) The Off works quick, the On has a delay but I will get used to it.
Set the NAVI to Manual Start is the trick
