Text Messaging softkeys after change to WM6

With WM5, the softkeys were
Left softkey: New (text message)
Right softkey: Menu
after upgrading my Cingular 8525 to WM6 it is not that useful:
Left softkey: Delete
Right softkey: Menu
In effect, to create a new message I need to select Menu and then New.
Is it possible to assign New to the left softkey?

Nope, not if your talking about in the messages screen. You can, however, set a soft key on the today screen to New SMS.

this has been a problem since the leak of WM6, search around, can't remember if theres a solution or not because it doesn't bother me that much, most of the time i'm replying to texts.

Take a look here, and here.

Thanks for a quick answer. I have no idea why Microsoft decided that the typical action when going to Text Messages would be to delete a message and not write a new message. You may store hundreds of messages without noticing a dent in the available memory.
How to create a shortcut from the Today screen to New SMS or reassining one of the softkeys to this function?

Use softkey changer (attached). If it gives you the error "missing file tnsms" then drop the attached corresponding file in ur /windows folder.

Kiitos Karhu and thanks mcorrie1121. I will test your solutions.

The SoftKey.cab from the link in Karhu's post is the only thing needed. One item on the list of commands to assign to a softkey on the Today screen is "New SMS". Works perfectly.

If you do not mind one more tap you can also use WM5 New Menu - provides more options than just new SMS.

Softkey Remap not possibly!

Dear Forum,
I have a HTC Touch Diamond. Successfuly Flashed to: 1.93.407.1 GER
Everything works fine, just the 2 Softkys on home are phone for the left and programs for the right.
I have tried to change with different Programs, also in registry, but in registry there are no values for the keys. So I would have the contacts on the left and com manager on the right.
Anyone could help me please to change the remaps?
I have tried almost all, the search have shown me, but without success!
Please help

Try SSmaPA

I Installed the program, but have no idea, how to change the softkey settings... How this will work?

I think SSmaPA is not intended for that. I use it to remap the tabs of HTC Home Touch Flo (for example, i prefer to open IExplore instead of Opera, when licking on Browser tab)
To do waht you want search the forum for a thread named somithing like : "manila teaks" or similar
You have to work on registry: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila ... and then writing what you want for HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText
You find it on that thread. Good luck

set the path to link to the comm and contacts shortcuts in your start menu. Device/Windows/Start menu/... something like that.

NB - Bad idea to lick the browser tab licking on tab may cause undesired system behavior LOL

How to modify softkeys?

How can I modify softkeys of the TouchFlo?

For modify soft keys I used SecondToday application.

you can also use advanced config program. hit menu, more settings, key mapping

HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Leftkey
HomeLSKText = Contacts
HomeLSKPath = \windows\addrbook.lnk (.LNK)
rightkey
HomeRSKText = Contacts
HomeRSKPath = \windows\addrbook.lnk (.LNK)

Hi,
Is there a way to mod the soft keys on the email messaging app...the left softkey is set to delete by default and i keeps pressing it and deleting email lol.
I had a look at the advanced config app but wasn't sure which app is the right one to try and play with as sms and email have different soft keys set.
Cheers
Andrew

Thanks for the Advanced Config Trick. I had it installed but didnt even think to use it.
Do you know if there is anyway to config the left softkey to launch the Programs section of the TF3D interface? My fingers are quite small and tough to reach the start button in the top left of the screen!
Many thanks
Andy

Guess you're looking for this:
Attached in the KEYS.zip file two files:
OKEY.EXE
SKEY.EXE
You're looking for the second one (start-key).
Copy it to your phone and map it
Don't know who created it (using this file already "3 phone-lives")
Credits to the creator!

How to change shortcuts on the bottom of the several Tabs WM6.1

Anyone knows how to change the shortcuts on the bottom of the several tabs on WM6.1 with TouchFLO 3D 2.1.
I need to change the "All People" on the People Tab and the "Album" on Photos and Videos.
I supose that somehow is possible to point this links somewere else.

Nobody can help me with this?

You can change the Home Soft keys via Regedit:
Go to \HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Change Left Softkey Path and Text:
HomeLSKPath
HomeLSKText
Change Right Softkey Path and Text:
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
You can also use the Diamond Softkey Manager app (works on wm6.1), just operate it in Diamond mode (one of the options to tick when you open the app.)
I'm not sure how to change in the other tabs though.

[REQ] Manila 2.5 footprints app - softkey url

I know how to change the left softkey of the manila today screen
So e.g. If I want to change it to "contacts" (while you haven't the tab enabled)
Code:
homerskarguments contacts
homerskpath Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
homersktext All People
This would bring you into the htc contact manager.
However, I want to let it enter the "footprints" app. So I've changed the registry into
Code:
homerskarguments footprints
homerskpath Manila://footprints\browserlayer\?.page
homersktext Footprints
This didn't work...which is too bad since the interface etc of the app looks sleek (the tab it self is another thing )
Code:
Manila://footprints.page
This one brings me to the footprints tab..not the app itself.
So I'm looking for the path and or arguments for entering the footprints app when the footprints tab itself is disabled.
Anyone who knows the answer to this mystery?

I don't know how you can make it, but as I know there is NO possible to change the softkey of M2.5 as you mentioned above and that's why I ask how you change. Here is some thread that is discussed. FYI.
