Remap Today left soft-key

[pchronos]

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.

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#.

[davehutch]

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.

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).

[davehutch]

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"

[cngfive]

Can you delete Softkey Applet after you apply the changes?

[Valentin.H]

Thanks, actually i forgot to show systems files into my Touch, i could install it and it worked :) Great little program !

[canibz]

this is freak'n great thanks!!!:D :D :D

Yes. With Vista you cannot browse the Windows directory.

where u got the new sms?

[davehutch]

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

[Biffert]

Yep, this really sucks :(

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?

[davehutch]

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.

thanks,

I also changed Calendar to Comm Manager. After the changes, the name changed but like you said, it still pointed to the calendar. I did a soft-reset and the changes actually stuck. Now it says Comm Manager and points there too.

I want to change the left softkey to 'Call History',
but I find a long time, also can't find the link,
Can anyone help me?

Thank you very much!!

[magicbbird]

For some reason, maybe because of different rom, pressing and holding the end-call key doesn't lock the device. At least this is what I have with my HK Chinese Elf.

[giek0rz]

Duri, that is a really handy tip, didnt knew that worked. Thanks!

[coios]

In my case, after copy (rewrite) softkeyapplet.cpl, work fine.
Thanx

People.... the app works fine... I added the new sms link on the left soft key....but what about the right one...."contacts".....it says error opening the shortcut or location of targe...

[bubblemaker]

I've a quite similar problem BUT I don't have the possibility to choose "contacts" anymore. It disappeared! :eek:
Haw can I get my contacts back? :(

[forevr5688]

Is it possible to remap the left soft key to toggle bluetooth on or off? Or can it be remapped to access "settings"?

[The Beej]

Just put this onto my new HTC TyTn II running WM6. Exactly what I was after. Thank you.

[rkapoor]

[ajm144k]

AE Button Plus is the best thing i have found to map just about every key on your phone. you can modify a single press, double press, triple press, and long press all to something different.

[blink182fka6]

is it possible to make a .lnk that points to "\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" so i can remap the softkey to open just my sms? thanks

[gronostaj]

You can enter
\Windows\tmail.exe -service "SMS"
as EXE name :)
