Soft Key icon missing on XDA Orbit???

Hi guys,
having had various WM5 handsets, I was a little upset to not be able to adjust the soft keys located at the bottom of the today screen. This has been possible on previous units just not the Orbit. The icon is found on the settings/ personal screen under the icon soft keys. I have done a hard reset and the icon still has not appeared. Can anyone suggest a registry entry to enable this function as the pre set options are not required????
I have seen 5 Orbits and all seem to be without it is this different on the artemis or T-mobile Compact III's?

Just to add I was wondering if I would ber able to dopy the icon from my previous device and see if it would work in my XDA Orbit?

Its the softkey applet you are after - place this cpl in the \windows directory soft reset and it should appear. (soft reset not strictly necessary)
Users beware - it is not easily reversible after install - you can delete the cpl but the settings remain the same and you will need to do a registry edit to get back tp previous state.

JC#79:
The Artemis has no Softkey applet, too.
Thanks at meschle

Thanks for that is any issues I should be aware of with using this applet, as in any problems etc?
Also how would I go about removing it from the registy should I indeed choose to do so (problems permitting)?

Change the application launched by Today screen Soft Keys
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\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (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.'
For some reason after removal of the applet the defaults dont return - so need editing

Thanks for that I'll give it a try later tonight after I backup the device just to be sure I can restore without any issues.
Also when you say wiki what do you mean have you a link?
Also will the applet allow me to use the softkey function as in previous handsets via softkey icon in personal tab of settings menu (am being blond has been along day)?

How have you tried to set it up? Which shortcut did you use?

I installed the file in the windows dir as advised.
I did a soft reset and attempted to use the New SMS & New MMS shortcuts.
When I try it comes up with the error message:
tnsms.exe
The file 'tnsms' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file.
This also comes up for the file name 'tnmms' am not really sure what to do next, seems all other ones work that I have tried so far?

I dont seem to have those shortcuts - what device are you running?
If you can, attach copies of those lnk files in a zip.
I use wm5newmenu and it already has those shortcuts in its menu - i assigned the menu to left soft key.

I have the o2 XDA Orbit those shortcuts are a part of the messaging programme for starting new sms and mms. I will search the device and see if I can find the files and zip them up on here.
Correction I cannot find the files stated in the error message, so I am at a loss as to what to do next?

Bump
Anyone shed any light on this one? I can enable these shortcuts on my old MDA Compact yet with the applet on the Orbit it is having none of it.

Same here with my Orbit ... I wanted to use left soft key for new SMS, but it gives me an error: The file 'tnsms' cannot be opened. ...Any advice guys?
Cheers ..

Meschle - thank you for the intro to registry editing - good for beginners like me !

I use this:

Just to say, Happy Christmas to all,
AND
The registry setting for the soft keys is a marvel. I reckon it is better than any applet (going from what I hear), I havent tried any applet, I went straight to the registry and I must say It is exactly as promised.
My Setup:
O2 XDA Orbit, Mobile 6, Default Theme
Program to access Registry:
SOTI Pocket Controller Pro v6.01 (this is well worth the money)

Start menu Settings Items

I wanted to Add/Remove Items to the Settings folder for PPC.
I have been searching for an answer and have finally found out how.
You can use a Registry Editor:
Goto:
\HKey_Local_Machine\ControlPanel\
Pick the named item you want to edit, "Backlight" for example
1. You can re-arrange them to other pages (Personal, System and Connections) under the Settings screen, where Personal = Group 0, System = Group 1 and Connections = Group 2 so you just need to rename the GROUP key in that particular icon.
2. You can hide the icon by changing the HIDE key from 0 to 1.
Do not delete it, just hide it unless u are absolutely sure that you will never need it.
PROBLEM IS, how do I add a new entry?

[Q] Gps auto data delete

Hi. I'm a fun of yours work on Samsung Wave. I come here to ask if is possibile to create a program that automatically delete the gps+ data.
I have the JL2 unofficial fw on my Wave and I checked that, without a manual delete data + gps, they are not downloaded. It 's always necessary, any time, enter the secret menu (*#4097*4097#) and manually delete the data.
It would be possible to build a tool able to do this procedure automatically and, perhaps, start Route66 in the same time. In short, do everything with one click. With this settings the fix of our Wave will be always in the order of time of 20-30 seconds. It's possible in yours opinion?

Why do you need to delete any data? I've installed Sygic and i get a lock after about 10-20 sec ....

Is difficult to explain the situation. I use Ruote66 and fw JL2. I haven't a flat plan on phone and I use wap configuration. I think isn't a problem of Ruote66 but of the internal settings of gps. In my case, if I don't used the gps from a week, the fix is slow (12 min). I have active gps+ but the download doesn't run automaticaly if I delete gps data.

Becouse I buyed Route66. I want use it and not another software.
Question: Can you give me the fw in your Wave and the setting in secret menù of gps (*#4097*4097#)? My interest is for "gps type" and the value of "time - out" in the "application settings". Thanks

Time out - 60000
GPS Device-Type - HYBRID

I found that setting a timeout to 1000 worked a little better but effectively deleting the data gets it going more quickly. That is after setting up the system correctly in the first place.

I use this settings:
gps mode: standalone;
gps option: location+ velocity + altitude;
session type: tracking mode;
gps device - type; build - in;
data receive..: All;
time out: 60000 (change to 1000);
Horizzontal Accuracy: 1000;
Vertical Accuracy: 500;
I tryed to use the hybrid type of gps, but my apn doesn't support traffic of data. So I set built - in and it's ok if I delete gps data. Now, the most rational solution is waiting a new fw that, perhaps, will solve this problem but my idea is easy and can give to all those who use route66 an immediately solution.
So, there is anyone that can realise this application? Is possible?

Here's how I got mine working correctly. (effectively I finish with Nezmanpro's settings as well)
1. Dial *#4097*4097#
2. Choose 3-User setting
3. Choose 1-Assist Method Type then select AGPS. System will reboot.
4. When the phone boots and returns to idle mode (after entering pin and checking the SD Card) dial *#4097*4097#.
2. Choose 3-User setting
3. Choose 2-SUPL Setting and set the options as below
Use AGPS or NOT = On
MT-Auto Configuration = Off
SUPL MT-Response Type = Accept
Server Address Type = IP_ADDRESS
Server FQDN Type = Custom Config (this was originally BMC LIVE TEST )
SUPL Secure Socket = Off
Server IP Address = 74.125.77.192
Server Port = 7276
I then go back up to "Server Address Type" and set that to "HOST_NAME". I can then set Server Custom FQDN = supl.google.com
I think there's a bug here as the port should also be available when using a host name - when choosing host_name the port field is locked, that's the reason behind going back up and changing the "Server Address type".
Save this. then go into 4-Network Profile
4. Set the network to the one you use for your internet access, not the mms.
5. Check that in the PDR Setting all is checked.
6. Go back to the main menu of LBS Application then select 2. Application Setting
7. Set the following options:
GPS Mode = A-GPS CP Based
(See the following post for further info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=729118)
GPS Option = Location+Velocity + Altitude
Session Type = Tracking Mode
GPS Device-Type = HYBRID
Date Recieve Type = All
Time Out = 1000 (like Nezmanpro)
Horizontal Accuracy = 100
Vertical Accuracy = 500
8. I then go back into User Setting
9. Back into Assist Method
10. Set Assist Method Type = GPS+
System will restart
11.When the phone boots and returns to idle mode (after entering pin and checking the SD Card) dial *#4097*4097# to get back to the LBS Application.
12. Go back into 3-User Setting
You'll see that SUPL settings are no longer present.
13. Go into GPS+ Setting and check that Auto Download = Enabled
14. Go back to the LBS Application menu then 6- DELETE GPS DATA
16. Happy navigation. Phew

Ok. But you must always manually delete gps data after this operation? I Knew that this operation was for functionally to have more speed to data download but my problem doesn't solve, becouse you must always delete gps data. Or not?

In order to get a fix quickly - ahem - in less than 3 minutes I need to delete the gps data.
Compared to a HTC hero I have the impression that the phone has no A in GPS.
the HTC hero locks in under 30 seconds the wave in under 3 minutes.

An application that auto deletes the gps data would fix this problem.

So the Wave does not use network assisted GPS? Then those Application settings in the GPS menu do not make sense other than the Standalone mode?

Having deleted the gps data this morning. I put the phone in 3G mode... gps lock in under a minute... I think YES the phone is capable of being assisted it's just that Samsung appear to have completely misconfigured and have forgotten to implement the gps data timeout :-(
definitely not something that would get past Steve Jobs....

i think we have nothing to do untill now except waiting a new firmware fixing this

[Q] Opinions on the LG Quantum WP7 hacks ect...

I was just looking for some opinions... It seems to me that out of all the WP7 Devices, the LG Quantum is the easiest to make changes to simply because of MFG.
Debranding and unlocks take just a couple of seconds and seem to be more reliable when I look at all the different posts on here. Incase anyone is looking for them for the quantum, here they are btw...
LG "debranding" hack
1. Enable the MFG application by going to the dialer and dialing ##634# then pressing call.
2. Launch the MFG application and enter 277634#*# when prompted for a password.
3. Select the Engineer Menu item.
4. Select the Other Setting menu item.
5. Select the Edit registry menu item.
6. Set the input boxes on this menu as follows:
Select ROOT_PATH: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Input SUB_PATH: \System\Platform\DeviceTargetingInfo\
Input KEY: MobileOperator
Data Type: STRING
Instead of putting in a blank, put in an empty space.
Also, if you want to re-brand your phone after the update for AT&T your input should be ATT-US
7. Select Query and write down the result in case you need to re-brand for some reason.
8. To debrand just enter the same information above and leave the input data field blank. The tool will say fail but it really did set correctly.
You can now connect to Zune and check for updates.
How to Un-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7
You can unlock the phone by using the MFG registry editor.
Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)
Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return a "0" or a random long number. If it does continue.
Set your input data box to "1" and hit SET. Output result should be 1
How To Keep Your Phone Unlocked
You can keep your phone unlocked and prevent Zune from re-locking it.
Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)
Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
Set your input key to "PortalUrlProd" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return data. If it does continue.
Keep your input data box empty and hit SET. Output result should be 0
Keep this screen open and continue to Part 2
Part 2
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Software\Microsoft\DeviceReg"
Set your input key to "PortalUrlInt" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return data. If it does continue.
Keep your input data box empty and hit SET. Output result should be 0
Backout to the password screen and shutdown the phone via powerbutton.
Reboot and sync. Your phone should stay unlocked.
How to Re-Lock your Phone without Chevron 7
Don't want your phone unlocked anymore? You can re-lock the phone by using the MFG registry editor.
Open the MFG app and use the password to open it. If you don't know it's (appmfg#*#)
Go to Engineer Menu -> Other Settings -> Edit Registry
Set your ROOT PATH to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE"
Set your input path to "\Comm\Security\LVMod"
Set your input key to "DeveloperUnlockState" and set to DWORD
Hit Query. Output result should return a "1". If it does continue.
Set your input data box to "0" and hit SET. Output result should be 0
Your phone is now locked. To Unlock the phone redo the above steps but set back to "1"
Oh and I can confirm this unlock method works and keeps it unlocked.
Then once unlocked, if you combine it with the Chevron ringtone manager-> http://www.chevronwp7.com/post/20542...ngtone-manager, and any registry changes you know of such as changing themes and such, there really doesn't seem to be much you cant do with it. Is my opinion accurate? Or is it just skewed because I love this phone? Also, is the MFG the reason why it doesn't seem like anyone has worked on software for the phone like they have with the Samsung and HTC models?

Nothing unstable about my hd7. Wonder if LG ha finally broken the feature phone stigma.

@nrfitchett4
I have to say I think so with this one, i always hated LG, but i fell in love with the physical keyboard, even before NoDo i didnt have marketplace issues... out of the three from AT&T, this one is def my fave, and it seems like it is just so much easier to hack and change with MFG... with your HD7, does it have anything like MFG already on the phone? My understanding was HTC phones had to use software on ur PC to get inside

Please do let me know if it works for you or not.

Any one that has tried this to the normal Honor magic 4 pro?

Can't enable USB Debugging cause I don't have a Honor account won't let me register for one either cause I'm not in China.

i don't know why but for me it was already activated! maybe because i installed an app called wifi calling

I was able to make the modifications but I haven't noticed any different or seeing HD Voice when I make calls at least on T-Mobile here in US
