hi!
I want a cab / app to lock the device (to change the registry and put it in softkey).
Do you know where I can find it?
The end press key is set to disconnect data connection!
thanks
If I'm right, hold the end call button and it will jump in to lock mode.
(can't check now, still waiting for my replacement)
yes it would work if I didnt have a disconnect setting on end key!
i prefer the softkey
just found it! and works great!

also did configure left soft key to lock the device!!!
How did you assign that to the soft key? I used advanced Config to change the path to "Program Files/Lock/DeviceLock", the key name changed but nothing happens when I touch it.
How do you change the registry to make the left soft key into a lock button??
What do I type?

Why I can not revise the registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink?
I added a font to windows/font, and add a new registry key under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\FontLink\SystemLink,
however after reboot, the added key does not appear, even revised key is covered to its original value.
why it happened? How can I fix it?
OS:WM6.0

After editing the registry, do not soft reset. Instead, turn off your Hermes (press and hold power button until a dialog box appears asking you if you want to turn it off; tap 'yes') and back on.

Hi, newbie's questions:
I only know the following keys have separate functionality when you press and hold them:
- Home - (hold -> invoke voice command)
- numeric 1-9 - (hold -> invoke corresponding speed dial entry)
- camera (must hold to invoke the camera function)
1. Are there any others?
2. I only know short_Camera.lnk sets the function, and obviously, use speed dial assignments to set the numeric 1-9 keys' hold function. Is there anyway to alter the press and hold "home" key, and/or any other keys?
3. What does the "SYM" mean on the camera key?
thanks very much in advance!

there currently is only a way to modify the VC button, the IE button(t-zones) and the mail button, the rest are hard coded into the OS as far as i know.
The ONLY workaround i know of so far is to install a program that allows you to assign hotkeys to certain buttons on your phone with certain press delays to open whatever program you want.
For example: i use smarttoolkit, which has a hotkey assigment option. showaco (?? i think) created a script to move files from \storage card\my documents\my pictures to --> \storage card\pictures so the pics would be shown on my homescreen under pictures sliding panel. I used smarttoolkit to assign a hotkey using button "M" ( is used "M" to stand for "M"ove). and whenever i want those pics moved, i just press and hold the "M" button down. I assigned it to have a delay of 1000ms so that way it forces me to press and hold the button for about 2 seconds,,,,, this also prevents me from accidentally activating it if i have a quick press and more importantly it keeps from the phone showing the dialing screen when i activate the script.
There is one other program i've heard of that can also do this, but the program name escapes me at the moment.
Great!
Thank you, pudgedaddy!
It sounds like this smarttoolkit serves the exact purpose that I am looking for. I will definitely check it out.
Appreciate the help!
i thought every key has a hold function.
Holding down a key will serve a different function or character.
I am using regedit to try and change the values of the soft keys on my today screen (wm 6.0 pro). I have used:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112 to show the settings for one key - I assume the left key. But I can't find any other key in this folder to rflect the right soft key. I would like the left key to open SMS and the right to open contacts - How can I accomplish?
Use Schap's Advance Config to do it; much easier than editing the registry.
Thanks a bunch...1 More Thing...
is there a way to get one of the soft keys to read SMS rather than just messaging?
and do you currently have an app to turn the tilt completly off...
without pressing the power button? pocketman 2 doesnt seem to do it

I hope it gives what you needed!
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath
change the value to
\Windows\DeviceLock.exe
Also...
HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKText
change the value to
Lock
it didnt work. Im using Windows 6.1 by the way and the phone is stock.
Can't you just hold the End key to lock on that ROM?
What would I put if i wanted to put it back to the camera?
My Left Soft key isnt working at all. Whatever path I put, the screen flashes for one sec and nothing happens. I dont know, nothing is working, only the text works to change the name.

I think this is a bug. You have to use HomeRSKPath and HomeRSKText to make the Left Soft key to work.
My send key is sticking.
1) How do I disable the send key
2) how can I start the phone application with a shortcut ( I would need it if I can disable the send key)
3) how do I change my text message that I can send for an incoming phone call. I've changed it before, but cannot remember how.
1) Why on earth would you want to do that?
2) Your start menu should already have a short-cut somewhere in it with the phone application, just find it and use it.
3) Start Menu/ Settings/ Personal/Phone/Advanced (this is on a WWE rom).
Ok, found #4.
Also, lookined in the windows directory and found vtkey.exe (phone application) and redial.exe (redial). Does anyone see a problem with renameing them so hopefully my send key will not be able to use them?
There is a System -> Button application. Guess I could map the end key hold to the vtkey_rename.exe?
OK, how do I rename system files?
Because my hardware send key is sticking and it constantly opens the phone application and redails the last person I spoke to. My friends are getting quite annoyed and I do not want to spend a week of my life reloading a new phone with my software.
Do you have a better solution?
I do not have a phone dialer application on my start menu. I had to find vtkey.exe in the windows folder.

Maybe you can remap the hardware key to nothing? The remap program is in the themes and apps section.

I turned off all the Sense/FLO stuff that I could find. Mostly I have just stock WM 6.1. I do not see themes. I do have Settings-> Personal -> Buttons. But I cannot figure out how to add the Send Key. I have the following. My phone has 4 buttons and not really sure how to use the Buttons screen.
Send Key (Hold) <None>
Button <Today>
Button <Context Menu>
Just tryed to remap the key using Rhodium Keyboard control. Worked flawlessly
Where is the keyboard control?
I have T-Mobile HTC TP2, WM 6.1.
Take a copy of a link file .lnk of any application you have on your phone and rename it to short_send.lnk and put in \windows. Same trick works with long_send.lnk, short/long for end and power buttons. By doing this i created button shortcuts to apps i want. Super convenient.
