- I Created a shortcut "mousemode.lnk" into \windows\start\programs
- I edited the shortcut mousemode.lnk as below : "\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
This work just perfect for me ... and another thing what I have done, its I bind the button to activate it .. and its works aswell ...
Yep this way is working nise .. i also binded the link to HW button ..
So, if I understud it well, I have to bind to a hardware button. It doesn´t work just like a icon ???
Worked a treat for me as a shortcut, no go bound to a hardware button though- still my hardware buttons are precious, my precious, they are reserved for the greatest of the great functions - it's easy enough to hit the start key and select mouse mode!
Thanks for another great tip!

I agree, it may be a pretty standard cursor file so it could be possible, a desktop sized cursor on a mobile device seems insane! I'm not sure I'd know where to begin modding it though.

I tried this step but everytime i tap the icon on windows\start menu\programs
(icon with link ..windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE) It open me a mouse mode enable page.. rather than automatic on and off the mouse mode..
It is possbile to make is auto just click.. on and off.
Please advise thanks
Back to this shortcut ... it work for me just as a shortcut in start menu. I copied it to \windows\startmenu\Programs .. When I attached it to hardware button it didn´t work ... but I´m happy with this start menu solution too... because I can now turn of this HTC Home today plugin

When You read all reply then you find where was problem with this shortcut when you made it in ppc totalcmd. The totalcmd put the first comma to the end of line and this was the problem as I wrote it in previous reply (#8)

Simply use Total commander and browse to the MouseMode.exe shortcut you created earlier with your highlight (don't tap on it). There is a green icon on the bottom of screen. Click it and start editting the shortcut. Save and exit total commander. Remember the soft-resets after registry editings. Enjoy
Thanks, victoradjei
Will do.

It is possible to switch the mouse on/off through a hardware button, however it does not work by linking a shortcut to that button. You don't need any extra program either, all it takes is a little tweaking in the registry.
This is an example of how to use the camera button for turning the mouse on/off (personally I don't use the camera), but of course you can use another key as well:
Open the registry and go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell/Keys/40C5/
There you will see some keys, of which Default is one of them. Open Default and change whatever is there to
"\windows\mousemode.exe" SETMOUSEMODE
Close the registry and you're done.
If you want another key, it is the same procedure, but replace the '5' in the above description (40C5) by another number.
You guys are talking over my head. All I did was install new menu, fond on this forum and create a shortcut from there. I press the right soft key select "mouse" select enable mouse mode.
New menu is a very useful app for loads of other stuff aswel, you all should have it.

Hello guys, I want to open a different program with the contactbutton on my today screen. I did this before with a change in te registry, but I cannot find it anymore in WM6. Can anyone help?
i don't know the registry key (if anyone knows please post) but there is an application called SoftkeyChanger
Google for Schap's Advanced config or soft key applet. Bot can change app assignment for soft keys.

I'm old-school and use vi to edit files, bit have found that the lack of an "Escape" key on the keyboard makes it impossible to perform "Esc : wq" to write and quit when editing a file.
Have you guys found a way round this ?
Cheers
nid
Just type twice Z
Type twice capital z is the same as Esc :wq!

You still need to press escape to get to command mode, any ideas how I can go from edit mode to command mode without pressing Esc?
Thanks

It will, however, not give you the full TAB funcionality. If you're used to using the TAB key for jumping from one field to another this doesn't work.

If you are using the english keyboard layout, you can edit the file eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt in the windows directory to map one of the keys to TAB.
I have attached a copy that maps "fn + T" to "Tab" if that's all you are looking for. Just copy it to a folder in your TP2 and use resco/total commander to copy it to your windows directory.
P.S: If you are going to edit it further, remember to save it as unicode or else your keyboard will not function correctly. To revert back to the original keyboard settings, just delete the file from the windows directory and it'll revert back to the original file that came with the ROM.
The up/down arrow keys send you from one field to the next
I use PQzII (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm) to map "Ctrl + Q" to "Tab", I also installed HookMgr from (http://www.mobiion.com/)

Go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles and look at what file is registry key "07FF" is pointing to. That's the file that is currently being used to define the mapping rules. Copy it out to your pc and amend it using notepad and save it as a unicode txt file.
There are instructions in the txt file itself - you can amend the mapping of other keys if you desire.

Hi rotastrain
I am using Duttys Latest Leo R2 ROM and I am unable to find the file specified.
I did use Total commander and specified to search for hidden ,system files
still no luck..
In this ROM the right softkey is assigned for Menu funtions and need not be reassigned.
But the left softkey can be reassigned to either Camera or Comm Manager ..
Oh i thought u were saying manila 2.1
i need the file 7c60907d_manila if ur using new manila!(2.5)

Sorry for the confusion .. my mistake
Since the title said 2.5 Manila I assumed this thread was for only the new manila..
here is my 7c60907d_manila
Left SW key I think is stored in "07c67730_manila"
Unfortunately I can not modify this file with "m9editor3.3.0.1"
Showing an error during compilation
Even though the file only compiles and de compile then again (no change in the file), the error is there, too
Any idea how to change the file

My current work around is to leave the soft key and to remap the hard key
It is quite annoying not to be able to change the soft keys...as someone said here, the default ones are quite redundant...and, wtf, no one from HTC though it is useless?
Why do I need a phone softkey since it is easier to press the phone hard key?
The only worthy softkey is the menu one, at least for manila 2.5...cause through this key it is possible to change the quick link and related today screen stuffs...
