Softkey Changer

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.

I too am confused. Isn't there already an option to change whatever application we can launch using the soft key buttons by going to the system settings?

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.

sharky48 thanks for this fantastic thing. I use to have some other one, bu this is just perfect.
Thanks again

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

You need to unzip the file and copy the applet file to \windows folder then perform a soft reset.

Thanks for the explaination. Appreciate it.

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.

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!

so i got the app working but on WM6 even though i changed the soft key in the program on the today screen the right soft key still says menu
what should i try to change that?
also how do i edit the names so instead of it saying messaging for the left soft key it becomes Messaging with a capitol?

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

wow thanks im stupid.
however still i cannot change the right soft key, even though i have a program selected in the program, on the today screen it still wont change from Menu

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.

Even resetting doesnt help.

Start Menu history

Is there a tool for stopping the start menu tracking what applications have been previously opened as I would like to turn this off so as to make the start menu smaller!!

excellent but how do I edit the registy?

AFAIK, there is no way of switching that feature off.. however, there is software that clears the list on every softreset. It is common/popular software to be included in most cooked ROMs

Use free Celetask with IE hotkey

Celetask is supercool task manager:
Include New Task, Close task, Switch Task and View Task Properties.
Start any application through command line.
CeleTask can also execute any menu command in command line.
Include Terminate Process, View Process Modules, Properties.
Tool box with full customization support. Include Power Status, Memory Status, Free Memory, Reboot System, Shutdown System, etc.
Hot Key Customization
User can assign a hot key for any command.
All this with one press the Internet button
I use Internet button to start the Celetask and I set the hotkey of Celetask to shutdown all apps with another press of Internet button. I use "8 button" to clean the ram. And that how with 3 clicks I close all aps and clean the memory
The "1" button I use for soft restart.
To use this task manager with hotkey just download the attachment end copy two files in WINDOWS folder.
I see this in Kavana new 6.1 ROM, but you can use it in all other ROMS.

This is the newest version of celetask,Yonsm(the author of celetask) build it for me,and it's include Excalibur's HotKey name,the best taskmanager for Excalibur
The original one is chinese Interface,i made it to english interface as the default interface.
Enjoy it.

This is version 2.0 I think. Version 2.2 is free only in Chinese (not problem for you anyway ).

No problem, and you can try CeleCmd,it's also a good software,it help me do everything (install cab,create shortcut,input reg,and so on)after cold boot,my rom is also base on CeleCmd

I try it, but nowhere i can find documentation in English .
Can you attach the CeleTask last version in English now?

this is a great proggie. i've used it to create a shortcut to soft reset. the only problem is that it asks me to confirm i want to restart the phone. there's probably a way to bypass this, but i've not figured it out.
anyone know if there's a way to use celetask to restart the phone without a confirmation message?

Yes:
Menu-->Options-->Show Alert
Just remove the check and Celetask will make everything without questions.

Now I have a question:
how to make a hotkey with Celetask to start anoother program.
I see I can add programs to tools but can connect hotkey to them

i have the opposite question littleclown...
for some reason activesync is in my celetask and i don't want it there. there's no reason for it to start at startup. at least i don't think it's necessary anyway. it fires up just fine on it's own when i plug it into the computer.
i can't seem to get it removed from the program list in celetask.
can anyone fill me in on the trick?

Fake server for Activesync
The following info comes from Aximsite
1. open the Activesync program.
2. Select Menu at the bottom right hand corner of the screen. This will bring up the Options Menu. Notice the option Schedule... is greyed out? This is the all-critical option we need to get access to. But as it's disabled we can't change Activesync's default synchronisation schedule.
Ok, so how do we enable the Schedule option? Easy!!! Fool Activesync into thinking there is an Exchange Server to sync with:
1. From Activesync's Menu select Add Server Source.
2. In the following screens you can enter any old garbage. It does not matter, but just in case your unsure, just type the following in the indicated boxes:
Server Address: fake
Tap Next
User name: fake
Password: fake
Domain: fake
(Select save password or going into the Advanced menu makes no difference, so no need to bother).
Next
Untick all of the 'Data you want to synchronise' options
Tap Finish
3. Ok, we're done creating the server. You should now see in Activesync's main screen your normal Activesync connection(s), and a new connection called Exchange Server.
4. Go back into the Menu, and lo and behold the Schedule option is now enabled! Go ahead and tap it!
5. You will see that both options in the Schedule screen are set to Every X Minutes.
6. Using the drop downs, change both the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes to Manually.
7. Press the OK button.
Now
1. Go back into Activesync's Menu, then Tap Options.
2. Highlight Exchange Server, then tap Delete. A warning message will appear about removing files etc, but as you have no files associated with the fake Exchange Server, it's nothing to worry about - just tap Ok.
3. The list will now only show your remaining PC Sync connection(s).
I did and Activesync stop starting automatically, however after you connect with your PC you need to close Activesync with Celetask

thanks!
unfortunately it didn't work.
i'm trying something else. will report back.

Text Message Sent Confirmation - How to disable?

Everytime I send a text message, it pops up a message letting you know that it was sent. It is extremely annoying. Is there anyway to turn it off? I went into the options and unchecked the boxes, but that didn't work.

Got under my skin too! Download CeRegEditor to your pc and sync your phone via WMDC run the CeRegEditor make connection within the program and go to tools and then unlock registry, then follow these keys HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ change key value SMSNoSentMSG to a value of 1. Save the edit and perform soft reset. Tada no more annoyance!!! If you dont like the thought of thumbing through your registry then you can find .cab file that will preform it for you. And also you can download other programs that for the life of me I cant think of right now and install them to change this and other settings on your phone. Just do a search and youll find them. Hope this helps!

Thanks for the reply. That sucks that you have to do all that to get rid of this annoyance. What were they thinking when they put this message confirmation in? Wow, what a mistake.

I am pretty sure that I used HD tweak to turn it off. 2.1 - Sent notification- disabled.
Very useful app as is Schapps Advanced Config tool. Both should be on your phone.

I use "Rhodium Settings Tool" by Tom_Condom. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=549135 once installed go to menu>text massaging>notifications SMS sent

Re-assign 'Search' button in navbar

Is it possible to re-assign 'Search' button so that it opens other apps? (I don't use Search)
Found registry keys at 'HKLM/System/Touch/Buttons'. There were 'Name' & 'Vkey' value.
Tried changing the values of 'Search' button to match 'Back' button, but it made no difference. Anybody knows whether there are any other registry keys for this function?
Thanks

It is possible.
In wehlockdown.xml file I have remaped the press and long press of the button but I loose the possibility to view my app list.
Of course I can open the apps through store...
I try to use the XML file to remap only the search without changing anything else.
I wait for heathcliff to unlock my 950 so in storage mode to see what changes are made when the search key is mapped...
I have spent a lot of time with XML files.
Here is the place if you want to try.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/mobile-devices/lockdown-xml
Do you have these keys in touch>settings or is it only me?

Did you was able to update the device after all?

My device was already updated when I did it

You can use this app https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/lockdown-designer/9nblggh40753 for creating lockdown.xml and deploying it to device.

Yeah I got that app from the above link posted by @NIKOSXRI, connected my phone to the app and also saved the file to local directory. But there wasn't any option to deploy it to the phone.
Its easier to directly edit the xml file in Phone and remove few lines from it.

You can create a prov package with windows configuration designer and put the xml file in embeded lockdown profiles place.Then you install the package putting it in the phone from usb file explorer.
I will attach my package and my xml file for you to test.
The search button when pressed opens the settings page and with long press opens one-note.
BUT the app list doesnt show though the apps exist and open from store app with the launch button.
ALSO the live tiles have some problems...
After installing the package I show some registry entries that must be changed for a better result but i have not an unlocked phone...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Windows>WEH>DeviceLockdownProfile
Inside last key there are settings that need to be changed...I believe that the app list will appear if we change the menulockdown from 0 to 1 and also the enabletile manipulation from 0 to 1...
I attach my package in filebin

Is this the only way? I thought I had to just edit xml files in internal storage or some reg keys. Can you tell me the risks of deploying a provisioning package?

When you remove it the things that are screwed remain and you must hard reset.
So you better dont do it in your primary device

Ohhh. It is my primary device. Then I will wait for WPI 2.5 so that I can make a complete backup of my phone and then try this. [Already done lots of registry edits, don't wanna do that all again ]
And about that app list missing thing, I selected all apps and settings in Lockdown Designer and exported the file along with Nav buttons changes(My XML file had all apps/settings entries). So I believe there wont be an issue if its packaged in this way. Can you create a provisioning package from the attached file?View attachment wehlockdown.xml
