yeah. I finally changed the T-zones key to something useful: IE!

where do I find these links?
i can only find the short_camera.lnk
i can't find the faq.
i have the htc s620 and what the messaging key to run a different program?!

Same problem
ZIt seems the Dash and 2620 have a lot of diferences. I can't find any keys .lnk files to chane the keys--I wouls like a task manager wehere ie is.
Also - the htc s620 does not have the text key hold and switch character function (which is really handy) and there is no t9 ot t9x on the s620.
Frustrating

but this hold functionality you can achieve with 3rd party tools.
at my s620 i only have the short_camera.lnk

Can someone look up a registry entry

I accidentally deleted the registry key in 113. Can some one look on their dash and give me the info
HKEY_CURRENT_USER
Software
Microsoft
Home
keys
113
Can you please give me the info that is there. keys and values so i can put back.
I believe there were two things here. One of them said (right menu)
I do not have any entry for 113. There is no "Keys" entry at all.
I do not have that key too.
Name - (Default)
Data Type - String
Data - (value not set)
I was afraid this would happen
Is there a home key in Microsoft? If yes what happens if you select it?
I am running wm6 on a Tmobile dash which might have something to do with it

This sounds like a touch screen phone, not an Excalibur (non-touch screen).

I have this key in a Treo 750, but not in the Dash.
may have found it
I think it had something to do with a program called Right Menu Editor. I reinstalled it and it fixed the problem. I tried the program didn't think I liked it.then I tried to remove it (Good Luck trying to remove this program) Now that I have it back on my Dash and have figured out how to use it I like it. Thanks for the help folks

[question] any shortkey to kill a running app?

Hi:
Is there a shortkey to kill a running app? not just minimize it.
Thanks.
nope.. just use a task manager..
I did remap a key (my T-Zones) so that it would open the task manager, then I could close apps from there or just switch apps.

I'm looking to do that. I know how to edit short keys but I don't know the exact text to remap the key to task manager. Could you copy your settings and post em here? Thanks!

Look for short_IE.lnk in your windows folder and add the path to the program inside quotation marks.
Example:
32#"\Program Files\Program Folder\program.exe"

I'm not seeing the short_IE.lnk file in the windows folder. I see all the other .lnk, just not the one mentioned.
Turns out it seems to be a new problem with the new HTC rom. Hopefully this will be resolved soon.
I thought you were on the T-Mobile ROM when u said T-Zones key. Im not sure which key the T-Zones key is on an HTC branded device. If you can find that out maybe that'll help you seek out that .lnk file.
i'm running the new htc rom and i had a short_IE.lnk file.
at any rate, find the jogger settings program if you're still having trouble. part of that program is that you can reassign your tzones key.

I've done some extensive searches and can't locate this "jogger settings program" do you have the cab file? Do you know the exact name of the program?
Thank you.
I have the same ROM(Love it)
I just added Task Manager to a speed dial.
Works for me
If you guys are looking for the t-zones key after the HTC ROM change it is
Windows\iexplore.exe
for some reason though i had to use total commander and then assing the key on the smart toolkit that im using.
when i had the t-mobile rom i was just able to change it with total commander.
i am using the t-zones key for the Tornado low light program.

Remapping IE and Comm Manager Keys

Well, as the title indicates, I am trying to remap my IE and Comm Manager keys. I remember that on the Excalibur, all I had to do was modify the path of the Short_IE.lnk and Short_Camera.lnk to make them work. That does not seem to be the case with the Cavalier.
I have discovered that the link responsible for the IE button behavior is pie.lnk in the Windows folder. However, when I alter the path of that link to CeleTask, IE opens first and then CeleTask immediately afterwards. Anyway to prevent IE from opening at all?
Also, I am having a difficult time getting the Comm Manager key to work. I tried using this thread with no success:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355141
Any ideas?
I would also like to know the answer, concern
Me too I m looking for this answer can some one help us please?
i really hate that it doesnt have the messaging button like the dash does?
help ?
Same here. I am planning on dedicating the IE button to Messaging, and the Comm Manager button to TaskManager. So far, all I have achieved is getting Messaging to open after IE is opened when pressing the IE button. Kind of annoying.
Noone can shed some light on this?
Bump for refreshment!
ha ha............great
IE key successfully replaced message

Its somewhere in the registry. I ran across it a while back. it's not like the Excalibur with Short_*.lnk... Weird...

Mapping SecondToday to left softkey?

Has anybody been able to map SecondToday to the left softkey on the home page?
I've tried changing the registry and using Advance Config, but no luck.

try a program called Keyswop it is (free) cab (attched) and you can change softkeys to whatever your heart desires... started slowly (i have a T7381) and would say had a battle with telstra's locked down rom but after the first time and a soft reset changes now quickly
Hi,
You could try AEButton+, an excellent program for mapping and extend hardware key (1 clic, or 2, or 3, or LongPress, or virtual button...), but it's not really free, but quite cheap.
This app works like a charm on my touch pro2.

Hope it help..
Have a look at my post to another thread. Shoudl work for you

I tried this and it didn't work on my Tmobile tp2. Has anybody else tried this registry change on their tmobile tp2?
Its definately working for me on my Vodafone TP2. What happens with yours after you submit the entries adn do a soft reset?
Barney
the name (title) of the left softkey changes, but it doesn't do anything when i click on it.
make the changes you want and them soft reset
in my original eu tp2 the changes were applied after a soft reset and i needed to reinstall the application
I cant get it to work either
aebplus doens't seem to work for a lot of the keys. anybody else have this problem? i've only been able to map keys to the volume up and down buttons.

Changing the softkeys in AT&T Tilt2

I find it redundant, the Phone soft key and the Phone Hard key.
Is there a way to reprogram or map the Phone soft key or the Contacts softkey to run some other programs?
If somebody had used this kind of keymapping program and works for the Tilt2, can you direct me to the link please?

Are you familiar/comfortable with modifying the Registry? Using Total Commander or a dedicated registry editor...?
If so:
Navigate to here:
registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ -- and find these keys:
"HomeLSKPath" -- Click on this one to enter the path to whatever application you'd like the Left Soft Key to run (e.g., \windows\calendar.exe)
"HomeLSKText" -- Click on this one to enter the text/label that appears for the Left Soft Key (e.g., Calendar)
And you can do the same thing with HomeRSK...
This works on my T-Mo USA TP2...I would expect (but don't know) that it should work for your Tilt2.
