This is really puzzling me now.
My Xda IIs has taken to freezing when you press the new button on the taskbar at the bottom?
I noticed from looking at the registry on the device there is a referance to a msnewmnu.dll, however I can't seem to find this file on the device?
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{CC76B8E6-99CD-11d2-8C2F-00C04F72E246}\InprocServer32, , msnewmnu.dll
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance, its really starting to annoy me now!

I had this same problem and found it was a corrupted entry in the New Menu Shell entries in the registry. If you have PHM RegEdit or similar look here :
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Extensions/NewMenu
Under this key you will find a number of sub keys which have GUID numbers. These relate to GUIDs in the registry which start an application and launch the correct "New" routine within them. Have a look under each of these GUIDs and see if one relates to software which you have recently removed (Mine was when I removed Pocket Informant for example) and delete the entire GUID sub key under the NewMenu Sub Key.
Hope this helps....
I found an entry that had no value for it, deleted it and it works mint!
Thanks alot m8 your a star!
I installed fue days ago HTC End Key buth now i have uninstall it buth it says that it whas not complete uninstalled. Now the End Key option is still there instead of my contacts in the bottom bar, is there any change i can change this back or remove End Key complete ? Thnx
Can anyone please help me with this problem ? It's realy anoying that i can not acces my contacs anymore from the bottom bar
an easy way to remap both softkeys via GUI interface is Remapsoftkeys, see attachment
Thnx allot mate, works perfect. Now can i ask you one little thing ? I dont now why buth instead of the A till Z bar in contacts i have back a scrol bar . Is there any change to change that somewhere ? Thnx again
Isn't there a tool called PDA Settings, ROM Settings or something similar in Black&Blue ?
Afaik there is an option to change the default contacts to Random Access, it's called 'Scroll bar' in this tool (which is the one with an A-Z list on the right side)
With Remapsoftkeys i think you have chosen Contacts instead of RandomAccess.exe, that's why there is no scrollbar...you also can choose RandomAccess.exe from your Windows-Directory in Remapsoftkeys. But this will only change the softbutton, with ROM Setting you can change it systemwide afaik....
You are great dude, thnx again for the quick answer
Yess. It's working. Thanks for good and small program!
Hi, I Got my T-Mo TP2 the other day (used to have a x7501) and there is one thing that's driving me CRAZY. When TF3D is enabled how do you change the soft keys to something else and rename them? I tried using SK-tools but that didn't work either. When I go to "setting,personal, Menus, buttons" the only one listed is the "Send" button in the list. Is there a reg hack to fix this?
Also PBar will not work with TF3d?? Thanks...Tj
Install Advanced Config. Under Menu>More Settings>Key Mapping, you can change the softkeys from here
To get it, search!!
Hmm Ok I did that and it still opens the Camera on left soft key and People on the right one...I also tried this with SK Tools. For some reason after TF3D starts it goes to the default soft keys, Maybe it has something to do with it being a T-mo phone?...Tj
did you try a soft reset? It worked for me, may becuase I've got the WWE...

To Modify left/right home softkeys in Manilla (Touch Flow 3D) you can edit the Registry as follows.
DEFAULT: All Fields Blank.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
The Left key keys are as follows (I've setup to Opera):
HomeLSKText = Web
HomeLSKPath = \windows\Opera Browser.lnk
(I've left my right key default for the moment - i.e. blank which will default to camera.)
The right key registry keys are as follows:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath
After you have finished do a Soft Reset - (no need for 8,000 SR )
Enjoy!
Have any Idea how to add HTC's Program List as a softkey? I don't like the launcher but I like the list. I'd rather get rid of the programs tab and just launch the programs list from the home page.

After finally managing to get rid of my horrid vodafone theme, I've noticed that the soft keys have changed from All People/Internet to Phone/Camera.
The camera one is super annoying as I'm always pressing it by accident, using the hack above I have managed to change the right key back to internet, but I'm struggling with the left key.
Can someone tell me what the HomeLSKPath needs to be to bring up 'All People'
TIA

HI,
Newbie here...just got my TP2 last week. If I want to swith the Left soft key to Contacts, what to i write n HOMELSKPATH= . Cant see to get it to work...thanks in advance..
KL
For those looking for Contacts/All People in the link.
Can't test this, as I'm using Finger-Friendly-Friends as my contact manager, but.....
To get the contacts application try the following in the path:
\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
If you have "Contacts" in your start menu then this should work.
If you don't have "Contacts" in your start menu then:
Temperorly put it there
Copy the file (\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk) to your PC
Edit it with notepad (or similar).
Use the path that you see in this file.
You can now remove "Contacts" from your start menu again.
Hope this helps.
I hate the camera softkey being there also. I hit it by mistake all the time. I would like it to be Opera too I think and the all contacts can stay on the right.. I don't know what I am doing but I may try to edit mine. I am new to all this.. I have Total Commander is that how I get to my registry to modify it?
i too need assistance w/ remapping the camera softkey...i dont know why they would have made that a default location for a business phone...
Some problem..

Hey,
I tried at first just changing the name of the softkeys and by that it stopped function. and after locking the phone it goes back to default, and i need to switch to other screen (ie contacts/calender etc) and when i am back to home it returns to whatever i changed it to.
any idea why?
Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks
I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me
Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.
Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).
I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.
I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

Problem is that (at least on my TMO unit, but I've seen others report the same thing)
HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.
-Steve
On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.
Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).
Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(
nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?
I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere
yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?
I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.
@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.
Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)
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.

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:

ACT works great!!

I'm also using the ACT, but I don't find where to change the buttons . Any body can help me?
THXs!
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.
