HTC Snap (Sprint) Re-mapping Internet & My Circle shortcut keys

---

Hi.

I was curious if anyone knows a way to re-map the internet browser shortcut key that is on the bottom right of the Sprint HTC Snap. I would like to have it open Skyfire instead of IE. Skyfire is set as my default browser but the button still opens IE. Also, do the same thing with the Mycircle key but change it to open Task Manager.

Thanks.

The file is in \Windows and it's called short_circle.lnk. Just make a new .lnk and call it short_circle.lnk and copy it to \Windows overwriting the old one.

Hi I got the Inner Circle key remapped using both short_circle.lnk and long_circle.lnk.

I am still having trouble getting the internet key to remap to Skyfire. I have tried making PIE.lnk, short_IE.lnk, long_IE.lnk, short_PIE.lnk, long_PIE.lnk. None of these seems to do the trick. Any ideas?

That key may be hardware coded into the keyboard driver. Not sure.

Hello,

i have an German Model of the Snap.
And i don´t Use Inner Circle. So the TaskManager will be the best Applikation on this Button.

But it don´t work.

I Edit the Files
- InnerCircle.lnk
- Short_Circle.lnk

and Change ist to the TaskMgr.exe.
I Restart my Phone, but the Button always Call the InnerCircle Funktion.

What is my mistake?

Christian, instead of editing the Short_circle.lnk file directly, try as follows:

1. Copy the TaskManager.lnk file from your Windows/Start Menu to another folder (i.e /Storage Card)
2. go in /Storage Card and rename TaskManager.lnk as Short_Circle.lnk
3. Copy this file into /Windows

This should work..at least it did for myself.

Hello,

thanks for your reply, but it doesn´t works.

The InnerCircle Key always start the Inner Circle Applikation.

1) use total commander or the likes,
2) change the read-only attribute on the short_circle.lnk.
3) then replace the shortcut with whatever application you'd like to run and save it as short_circle.lnk.

Thanks! This worked for me.

Hi there,

Do you have more info on that ? I have a S521 (Frenchy ass, fruity ass), and the so-called internet key is for Live Mess-enger. I would be really interested in mapping a different function to that key.
