I made a little Cab file of the Softkey Changer App I found somewhere in an Extended Rom.

Since there are a lot of people who want to change the softkeys.

Enjoy

what does it do? Is it to change application in the main (today) softkeys?
or can it also change softkey in other applications such as Outlook Mobile?
Thanks in advance.

This application is not standard in every Rom.
If you don't have it in your Rom, you can add it now.

Yes you can assign every program to one of the softkeys.

I did not make it, I'm only supplying.
I did read about something like this in a very old post, but this is more up 2 date.

This one is much better:

- It allows to select any application whereever the application is.
- Allows to rename the Soft Key Display Name
- The applet can be put on any Tab (Personal, System or Connections) of Settings

Cheers,

.Fred

ps.: the only disavantage is that the size of the applet is 63k against the 18k of yours

Does anyone know of a way to access call history using the softkeys, or even the hard keys?

On my old C500 i think there was an executable somewhere which opened call history, and it was possible to point a button at this, can't seem to find one on the hermes though.

New SMS & New MMS Soft key command

Open settings and you should see on one of the tabs, the "Soft Key" applet.

Cheers,

.Fred

Thanks! Does anyone has these files: tnsms.exe (for "New SMS" command) and tnmms.exe (for "New MMS" command) in folder: My Pocket PC\Windows\ ? Couldn't run softkeys for "New SMS" or "New MMS".
Thanks again!

There should be an option there to rename it. Just read it carefully. It should be at the top.

So I changed the right soft key to new sms and it didnt work, so I changed it back to Calendar but now it gives me an error:

HTCCalendar.exe

The file "HTCCalendar" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.


This is using the former file (soft key changer.zip) not applet.
