Help with a registry setting please.

I want to remap my right softkey to "Programs". Its a long story but basically Im using the latest manila and installed some progs and now need to set the right softkey back to programs.
HD tweak wont do it, it only shows up ICS_Camera.
What I want to know is from anybody who has the right softkey showing as programs and is willing to tel me what the reg settings are under -
HKLM\Sofware\HTC\Manila - HomeRSKPath.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

Only shows entries for allocating calendar and agenda. I need the specific wording so it takes me to the equivalent of the old manila programs tab which is now the new start menu with the Rhodium packages as my new start menu has disappeared (Long story).

Link to the Control Panel

Hello guys,
After a long search on the web I can't find the answer to "How to create a control panel shortcut on Windows Mobile".
Out of the box, our Rhodium are packaged with a "Settings" shortcut in the start menu which links to the Settings tab of Manilla. I find this annoying, if i want to go to the manilla settings, i use manilla not the start menu.
So I want a direct link to Windows' control panel. I've seen many ways to link to a specific applet, but not the whole control panel.
Anyone can help ?
PS : Also I'm looking for the HTCSettings.exe file stored in every Rhodium (WM6.5 version)... I've accidentally deleted it :/
Thanks !

I am not sure I understand the question, but I think what you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.. If that is correct, the solution is simple. Click Start>Settings>ToDay>Items>TouchFLO 3D>OK>X and you should have it. What you want is to be running TouchFLO instead of Windows Default.
Hope that helps.

what he is saying is that he wants to got to the control panel or "settings" from the start menu, when you hit start and then settings it takes you to manilla settings

What annoys me is that the Bluetooth and Today screen prefs are ONLY available through the Windows CPL, things like QuickMenu don't see them..

You got is cs400, that's what I'm looking for.
Someone can send me the original HTC Settings.exe (Located in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs) ?

Okay guys, I figured out how to solve this problem by hanging around in the registry !
How to change the "Settings" icon in the Start Menu to make it open WM's Control Panel rather than Manilla's settings panel ?
- First go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and remove (or move) the file HTC Settings.exe
- Then go to the registry \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo and change the value HideSettings from 1 to 0
- Reboot your device, it's done !

I am trying to change the 'Settings' button in the Start Menu to open the WM Control Panel instead of the Manila settings, however, the \HKLM\Security\Shell\StartInfo key does not exist in my registry. Is there another way to link to the Control Panel? Thanks!

WM control panel shortcut
I would appreciate anyone telling me how to make a shortcut that links to the WM Control Panel.
Thanks!

Thank-you a million times! Just installed something that crashed my HTC Sense, and couldn't for the life of me work out how to get to Remove Programs so I could un-install it! I now have my phone back, without having to go down the hard-reset route which I'd feared was my only option.

you could do as htc intended and clicked "all settings" on the settings tab for those manila doesnt cover.

Which would have worked brilliantly....had I been able to get to the settings tab in the first place.
With Sense freezing, I had to run the 'change my background' option from 'Getting Started' to get into the Today options and disable Sense. Then use the tips in this thread to get the Settings folder back on my Start Menu. Normally I would have used the All Settings option, but couldn't in this case, and it's funny how much you don't realise is missing from a start menu....until you need it!

notification manager + Finger Menus

I found these 4 applications on EnergyROM WM 6.5 (under Utilities folder)
I have been playing around with them, but I got no clue what are they for and how to use them....I have made a search on this forum but found not relevant links...
Here are the four appls:
Notifcation Manager ON
Notifcation Manager OFF
Finger Menus OFF
Finger Menus ON
Can please someone share with me?
Thank you
Saulo

corrections: these 4 apps are under
main desktop > Utilitities > Tweaks
and the ROM is EnergyROM WM 6.5

I have tried to use the search functions in this site, but nothing relevant I can get.
Can somebody share his suggestions?
Thanks
Saulo

Why dont you ask at the rom thread those questions or use the Google?
You have opened three new threads regarding EnergyROM and comparing it with WM6.1 programs or functions, if you are not happy go back to WM6.1

for 3 reasons I made this post:
(by the way I like WM6.5, I just want to get the most from it! I have no regret to move to 6.5 from 6.1)
1st reason: because I have ALREADY posted this question on EnergyROM thread, 3 weeks ago, but they get new posts so frequently that my question got completely unnoticed and un-answered
2nd by googling or using internal search function I found not relevant explanation of what Notification Manager is
3rd I have try to toggle NOTIFICATION MANAGER but I can feel or see any changed behaviour in my Touch phone..
Can anybody else give me a hint?
Thanks
Saulo

I've got the same rom and the same question, it toggled it on device soft resets. Then nothing?

Dear A1Gp.
Please can you expand? I have enabled Notification Manager (and to apply it it required a soft reset, by the way)
After this soft reset I still see no changes!
If now I press the red button on main page (soft reset) it immediately resets the system, JUST AS BEFORE... I get no notification.
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

I would like to know too!

"Notification manager" is the black screen that show you any notifications (like Miss call, SMS, etc.) when you tap on the top taskbar.
"Finger Menus" is the finger friendly menu in Manila. If you off it, you'll get the standard (smaller but faster) menu. (Tried to use "File Explorer" and click on the menu to see the differences.)
Not using Energy ROM so can't show you screen shots
Hope this help

Disable Animation

I am using EnergyROM WM 6.5, recently upgraded from Dutty 6.1
I found very annoying and time consuming this "animation" which is active on each menu...
For example: you may start "contacts" then touch Menu (bottom right): the list of options appear, with a 0.5sec delay...in WM6.1 it was instantaneous...
If you edit a SMS or email message> Click "Menu": a list of option (first level) is shown, if then you click on My Text or Insert, then the list pops down and pops up (1 sec delay) with the 2nd level of options...in WM6.1 it was immediate...
I found the animation slow, sluggish and I prefer to remove it and go back to WM 6.1 style (faster).
Can someone point me the way to disable animations in "menus"?
Thanks and waiting.
Saulo

I see this ROM (Energy ROM WM6.5) is equipped with two tweaking utilities:
1. WVGA Tweak
2. Advanced Config
Maybe the trick to disable animations is within this apps?
Thanks and waiting for suggestions
Saulo

I tried using the Tweak Applications for Blackstone, but I cannot see any item or area where I can edit the animation settings...can somebody share his ideas?
Thanks and waiting

I'm on EnergyROM as well (from Nov. 3rd) and I found this: Open the start menu, hit Tools, hit Tweaks. There, you will find something called "Finger Menus OFF" and "Finger Menus ON". When you turn off Finger Menus, you no longer have the nice looking HTC Menus - but the menus appear instantly. But sadly they're very small. But it's better than waiting for the menus to pop up! Atleast for me!

So there's no way to have finger menu without animation, am I right?

registry edit
If you are talking about the HTC Menus, then there is a registry edit which will disable the animation:
Go in a registry editor to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCMenus]
and set
"EnableVSync" to 1 (dec)
"AnimationRadio_LS" to 0 (dec)
"AnimationRadio" to 0 (dec)
and then soft reset. I hope it helps.

thanks!!

[Q] Modifying Buttons

Hi,
I'm using the HTC Sense.
In the "Home" tab there are 2 buttons - "Phone" (left) and "Menu" (right)
Is there a way to modify these buttons?
I've just started using ThumbCal and I want the left one to assign to it.
Thanks.

Settings+
to change the softkeys try Settings+ by Samuel Tee

Thanks for your answers.
fighter7139,
I've read the thread, I didn't manage to get to the "yes, use advanced config - push on menu - more settings - key mapping".
I have Tom Photon ROM.
and I don't understand enough to mess with the reg file..
xda-kungfu,
I've installed the Setting+, and changed the left soft key.
I rebooted twice - but it didn't change.
Are you sure it suppose to work on the HTC sense too?
Thanks again.

I tried also BSB tweaks..
Shaked my HD mini.. But it didn't change..

So why don't you use ACT:

Menu - more settings - key mapping
It's already written.

SORRY, I didn't read it. By the way, I can't assign the right soft key to the camera. Anybody has the same problem?

It's better to set camera on left softkey.

Hi,
I installed ACT and I have no problems with the left softkey but when you assign an application to the right softkey, it appears at the beginning but as you move through the Sense, again seems the Menu right softkey
"It happens to someone else? How do you solve?
Thanks in advance

Try to set it through registry.
HKLM\\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKPath
HKLM\\Software\HTC\Manila\HomeRSKText

Thanks for the reply.
This registry keys says the same I put on ACT but only works at startup Sense. When you move slider "Menu" returns

Disable sense, make a soft reset and enable it again.

There's no way, man.
I did what you say and when I enable Sense again, "Menu" reappeared.
Without Sense it works fine. HTC HD Mini. Version Manila 2.5.20131825.3
Thanks anyway

I don't know something else, but many people say not to mess with right softkey.

Use BSB Tweaks 1.6 to change the left soft key of Sense.
You mentioned it didn't work for you. But do try it again. Sometimes you need to shake a bit more to register a response.
It worked for my HD mini. Worked everytime.
Do try it again.

I found on htcpedia how to change right softkey MENU on HTC HD Mini
The first thing to do is set the Resco Explorer to show hidden files and ROM.
Get the file inside the ZIP that I let you down and copy it to the Windows folder overwriting the existing. Windows warns that it will replace an important file. Just in case I have made a backup before overwriting the original.
You open the Advance Config Tool or SKTools and assign the role you want to replace the SoftKey Menu and Reset.
bye and thanks all for your replies.
