Remap left softkey on Today screen?

[stpete111]

Greetings,

I'd like to remap the left softkey on the Today screen to go to something else besides calendar. I've searched all the forums and have turned up several apps (vijaytoggletoday, smartskey, and some others) but they all seem to be geared toward either totally removing the soft key menu bar from the Today screen, or changing the behavior of the hardware soft key buttons. I just want to change what the left soft key points to from Calendar to something else. I saw a post sometime ago where someone had remapped it to Comm Manager, so I know it's possible. How do I do it?

Thanks!

Search google for soft key changer.
Also available on Buzzdev.net
Also in a registry hack on the wiki, in the Today keys.

what did you find that removed the softkeys all together?

Regarding remapping, look for SoftKeyApplet or SoftKeyAppletEx ..

To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\112\(Default ) = Calendar (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)

To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft \Today\Keys\113\(Default ) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)

Note that 113 normally doesn't exist by default, and probably needs to be created Also note that there is at least 1 application that allows you to set these through a GUI, developed by FdcSoft called SoftKeyAppletEx

gravejoker vjtoggletodayII will remove the softkeys

I want to say the incoming and outcoming call list. Thanks

[vijay555]

To access the call log, you can do it programmatically, or use VJPhoneShortcuts.

Nobody know which is the .exe file that start the incoming/outcoming call list ? Thanks

[gravejoker]

I dont think you can get to the call history using an exe file .. has to be done programatically ..

[vijay555]

I think I already indicated above, VJPhoneShortcuts.

First you must install "NewMenu", then create a new item, then choose "callhistory.exe" from windows folder. That's easy!

There's a another quick way to hach the softkeys

Use AEButton Plus: it is useful to modify all the settings for the hardware buttons......

There isn't callhistory.exe in the windows folder.

[gravejoker]

Try what Vijay suggested .. that should give you shortcuts to the Call history and Speed dial .. then remap one of the soft keys to it ..

And no .. I dont think there's any CallHistory.exe anywhere ..

[vijay555]

There's no callhistory.exe in any rom I've got, other then the Gigabyte :(

Someone was just messing around with him ..

vijaY exceptional your software !!!!! But now how can remap the left softkey with the callhistory ? Thanks

[User22]

Well, in my Asus P525 there is "CallHistory.exe" inside windows folder and also it was there in my previous crapy Iteq Bond.

Did you used Resco Explorer or any other to check it?

[vijay555]

I used filetracer on my pc, and as I said, I couldn't find it in any of the roms I've dumped, except for the gigabyte. I don't know if it's a tool that's supplied by HTC, but clearly it is supplied by other manufacturers.

FYI, the gigabyte version does work on the HTCs, but adds nothing over VJPhoneShortcuts.
