Post Registry Tweaks

I've been trying to find the WM6 tweak to rename/reallocate the bottom pair of soft keys on my home page 'Phone' and 'Contacts'. I have hard keys for both so current config is redundant.

The WM5 tweaks (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...5_Tweaks_Other) don't seem to be tottally relevant (I have changed my default input device which works fine) as I only have 'Htc_default.tsk' as a sub under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today no 'Keys' option.

I've exoprted the registry (TRE editor) but can't find an equivalent 'key' value to edit.

Is it because I'm using HTChome?

Any guidance will be much appreciated.

i use the attached softkey_applet.cab, which is in this forum.

here is a site with other registry tweaks. my favorite, especially useful for the BA with this rom, is the one to minimize pressure when tapping the screen... http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocket...iew_all_tweaks

The pocketPCtweaks reflects the info in the wiki but cheers anyway.

Thanks for CAB will give it a run and post results.

Pressure minimise has made block recognition input faster and much more accurate - A recommended tweak

This tweak works exactly the same like on WM5. You actually need to create those keys.
Motorola MPx200 -> Palm Treo 650 -> HTC Blue Angel -> HTC Roadster -> HTC Universal

1. save the following text to notepad:

10#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body "
emperor83"


2. in the foregoing, the filename will end in .txt (eg. New SMS.txt). rename the filename extension from .txt to .lnk (eg. New SMS.lnk)

3. copy to your ppc

4. use the softkey application to assign it (eg. New SMS.lnk) to a softkey

5. whenever you click on the said softkey, the new SMS will be activated.

* please note that you can change emperor83 with any text you want (eg. Freddie Krueger); it will be subsequently displayed in the message body
