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.
Hi all.
Suddenly, the "Space Key" does not appear in Full Qwerty Keyboard.
Now ".com" & "/" appear instead of "Space Key".
(plz see the attached file)
I want to change from ".com" & "/" to "Space Key",, how ever i don't know the way.
Could u give the solution?
i had exact same problem. apparently you have to do a registry change to fix it. HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
Your variable might not be 1 but when my screen was as yours it was a 2. Laater it switched on its own to a 9 so dont lose this registry change because your probably going to have to do it again. I noticed when i added new contact or something to that effect it changed the variable
Thank you very much for your solution!
My "CurrentET9Style" is 6.
After revise from 6 to 0, Back to normal keyboard.
Thank you !!!

who's first post? I did install the tweak cab from ppcgeeks and would like to read that 1st post. If i uninstall the tweak will it fix the reacurring problem or do i have to hard reset? Thanks
when i changed to "autocomplete" I had the same problem with the space key being gone until i put the registry back the way it was...Tj
Keep CurrentET9Style = 0 ??
Changed HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime.change CurrentET9Style from 1 back to 0
This works temporarily, but when I click on the time in a calendar entry, it switches to numbers, and does not switch back unless I re-edit the registry. Is there any way to keep the setting from changing at all? I want it to stay at CurrentET9Style = 0.
Anybody?
Hi everyone. Okay, first let me just say that the "FixStuckTP2Keyboard.cab" is fine and it does work. But it reverts your keyboard back to the "eT9" and you probably did a registry hack to change it from that in the first place (changed it to "COMP") am I right? Not to knock that cab, like I said it works just fine but I did NOT want to "install" a cab file everytime this happened (after it would change it back to "eT9" I would have to go back into the registry and change it to "COMP" again.)
Let me tell you HOW this is happening in the first place, it has something to do with Opera. You can test this very easily. First get your keyboard working properly, then open Opera. Type something in the address bar or just tap the address bar and BAM! Your keyboard is stuck in that mode. Now I don't know why this happens, that mode is getting stuck in memory for some strange reason and it will NOT let go.
I'm assuming this is ONLY happening to those of us who have used the registry (or a program or cab) to change the keyboard to "COMP" instead of "eT9" since changing it back to "eT9" solves the problem.
There are three solutions:
1.) ONLY use the slide-out keyboard when using Opera.
2.) Use the FixStuckTP2Keyboard.cab
3.) Use the MortScripts I created.
Use "KB-OFF (eT9).mscr" to force the "eT9" info into the registry. Then use "KB-ON (COMP).mscr" to enter the "COMP" info back into the registry, then do a soft reset.
You can rename these files if you like.
Yeah I know it sucks to have to do a reset just to get the use of your spacebar back just because you used the virtual keyboard when using Opera but hey, what are you gonna do?
UPDATE: Just noticed that "sometimes" my scripts don't work if you click on them one after another (again for some strange reason). If this happens to you just click on "KB-OFF" soft reboot then click on KB-ON" & reboot. Weird I know.

Same problem here. I cannot create new keys neither

Registry location stayed where it was. Can it be that the key does not exist on HTC HD7?

That's because the registry API is being blocked from editing it there.
Use provxml sideloading method to edit such keys, check the sticky

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

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

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
