beginner here looking to do some simple things

Hi,
I'm new to the forum and came here looking for a fix to rotate my WMP screen. I sometimes wonder if I should have ever upgraded to WM6. I haven't uploaded a registry editor or anything in fear of totaly destroying my phone. I know there are alot of little things that can be changed through the editor like reassigning keys and whatnot. I was just looking for a place to begin and maybe someone patient enough to help me through things. Thanks for reading.

You can try the last post here. I am not sure whether it works or not.

Don't I need to set up the registry editor to use that solution?

Yes......even if someone here wrote you a .reg file that you could just open from the phone to add the registry entry for you, you still need a registry program installed on the phone. Are you not wanting to have the program on your phone, not wanting to make the registry change yourself, or not willing to change the registry at all?

Suspend, Alt-Tab and Softreset cabs

Anyone have these cabs? Or programs?
1) Suspend/PowerOff button
2) Alt-Tab so i can link it to a hard button
3) Softreset which i have that i am uploading here but doesn't have a Icon. Its just a plain program. If you have one with a nice icon, please upload here?

Isn't this the wrong forum to post such a request? Oh well, a really quick search for Alt-Tab found http://www.google.com/search?as_q=A...rum.xda-developers.com&as_rights=&safe=images. 2nd listing has your file.
You can find the next one the same way
Hint - look at my sig.
Cheers

Thanx Dr.Puttingham,
I actually found that cab the same time you posted it here. But i am trying to find the suspend and softreset the same way. But i always get some other threads that doesn't provide the cab. Rather they talk about other things.
Do you have the Suspend and Softreset programs?

maybe you would like me to come over and spoon feed you to? what does this have to do with WM6 in my eyes not a damn thing... Boy you just opened the perfect what not to post thread!! I'm not feeling to normal at the moment or I would flame you till my finger hurt. Dr is right SEARCH and if you don't find maybe it doesn't exist... Make it yourself this is a devoloper forum remember not a cab dipository...

I can't remember where I saw it but what you are looking for is in here somewhere. Of course "suspend" and "softreset" will only return about a billion search results. Maybe someone will see your post and can help out more. Most of the folks here are helpful.

Hmm, um, a CAB for an app to soft reset your device? Isn't easier to use the stylus? Maybe I'm nuts?

Thanx.
I've found it. The Alt-tab and the suspend and the softreset. The Suspend and softreset are from this program.. pcshutxp or something like that.

One I've used for a while is PHM's freewares:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/
Can't remember if it's the Powertoys or Keys that gives you what you're after, I always tend to have both installed as they're pretty small (and free)!

here's the alt-tab program from SPB

Quick Question

Does anyone know the registry tweak to make the end call button close applications when your in them instead of minimizing them? I remember seeing it but now I cant find the dang post.

I dont think that's possible on a smartphone such as the Excalibur. Although that would be possible on a PPC.

Ahh I thought I read a post of Rip Syntaxx saying there was a reg entry you could change but I read so many posts they all kind of blend into one. Thanks for the response.

Look for a program called AE Button for smartphone...
Excellent little program will let you remap any key, and lets you change the function.
I have my end call button not only end calls, but also close programs instead of minimize..
It will do exactly what you want it to do..

You can use SmartToolKit then by pressing <- you will have a gadget for volume & profile and any user programs you want to assign, also has a XP like start menu that again is customizable, i know this isn't exactly what you asked but is a way to control volume without jogger.

Thanks for your response but i have tried smrt tool kit andi, not a big fan of it. maybeif someone couls point me to a thread or tutoria to write something to do this or if its just a simple redg edit

Simple solution, use Mortscript to write a volume control application and assign it to a hot key. I can whip you up one once my schedule clears up.. but probably not until this weekend.

thanks a milion man so what kind of coding would it be?

Mortscripts are really simple, it uses a batch script language.. details and examples can be found on Mortscript and I believe we have an extensive script archive here on XDA

cool thanks any idea when ull have time to do it?

+1 that would be very cool! I keep hearing from the girlfriend what a POS the Joggr is (wasnt a big problem for me with bluetooth). I would switch the joggr to JUST scrolling duty and call it a day!

change the joogr settings to scrool it works with me i can change the volume during a call and while playing music etc

yes, we know...the problem is that it is easily bumped while talking, and hard to navigate.

I wrote one up quick this evening. This is a ultra simple script that will allow you to set the volume to max, mute the volume or select a volume level ( 0 to 255, 255 being max volume) let me know how it works for you and if you like this weekend I can refine it so it looks a bit nicer.
I tested it out on my Dash and once assigned to a hot key (speed dial) it can be called whenever you need it. You will need Mortscript installed of course so I added the latest mortscript cab to this archive. Install it, Mortscript, then copy over the two files Volume Utility.exe and .mscr to your device and run the mscr file both the exe and mscr file must remain together to work properly.

This was just a quicky I can add step up and down controls (low, midrange high and loudest) for ease of use, and make it a bit more user friendly (like allow the center button on the Dash to act as the ok button) I have been wanting to use Morts Butons so this might be a good time to try them out (makes the interface more adaptable and nicer looking). Since it works for you I will get a refined version to you this weekend.
Learning the script language is pretty simple, Google Mortscript and download the manual is the best way to learn it, that and looking at example scripts. I use Mortscript for everything on my Dash.. I have it nearly automatic anymore. It turns on in the morning, downloads my feeds, checks and downloads the weather and checks my google calendar then rings the alarm if I need to get up and go to work, if its the weekend it turns back off after all the updates are done and then turns on a couple hours later so its ready to go for me. I use scripts for everything (yeah I am lazy lol)

thats crazy man again thanks a million

New version
Ok, here is a new version of the Volume Utility. I added Low (30%) med (50%) and max (100%) settings. You can still adjust the volume by entering in a value, and of course mute the volume. A sound will play after any volume modifications to confirm the level.
I cant use Mort Buttons, its for PPC not smartphone but I am going to add the ability to choose your favorite colors and I am still working on adding step up and step down volume change ability via the directional pad
enjoy

Thanks Bupah That a big help! Is there a way to make the speed dial setting the space bar or something that isn't going to blast a tone to the other caller?

Changing softkey from reply all to reply in touchpro2

Hey guys,
Just thought you might want to know incase it is annoying anyone else.
To change the softkey from reply all to reply you need to do the following registry edits.
From the link:
If you want to fix it you need to turn outlook enhancement off.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Servic es\OutlookEnhancement]
"Module"=""
then softreset
to turn it on
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Servic es\OutlookEnhancement]
"Module"="\\windows\\OutlookEnhancement.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\OutlookEnhancement]
Remove the name under "dll"
then softreset
Doing the first part only didnt work on my TP2, but after i removed the one in HKLM as well it worked
Cheers

WOW thank you! thats exactly what i was searching for!

Does this fix change anything else than the softkey?

Is there a way to change the "delete" key? When I choose an account, then hit Inbox to see the emails, I sometimes hit delete (when the phone is slower, sometimes you think that you didn't press on Inbox and when you press again, you hit delete).
Have deleted a few mails this way, so changing it into anything else (e.g. reply to all or something) would be nice!

Thanks , this was bugging me for a while

I would also like to know the answer to that. Removing an entire "Outlook Enhancement" DLL sounds like it might have side effects!

Those registry entries don't seem to exist in the 6.5 official ROM. Don't seem to be any for OutlookEnhancement. Any ideas?

Same question here. No trace of "OutlookEnhancement" in the registry.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you so much for this. I had the same issue with just doing step #1 with no results. I should have known to search for other entries with that dll. Thanks!!!!!

I have WM6.5 and found both entries in the registry editor..... but that doesn't mean "Reply to all" was replaced with "Reply" when both items were cleared! I followed the steps to the letter, both Module in HKCU and Dll in HKLM were blanked, soft reset after each one, and when clicking on an email, the left softkey still reads "Reply to all"
I'm not the type that needs to "Reply to all" everytime I send an email - especially when "all" includes me again in the TO: field!!!

Possibly a bit late but I removed the 'reply to all' option by editing the registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\ShowReplyAllEmailSK1 and setting the value to 0.

Worked for me
On my TP2 from t-mobile the edits in the registry worked great. Had to delete both files though for it to work. I wish I tried the method stated above first though, seems easier to reverse.

This works very nicely- thanks! BTW- it takes effect after a soft reset...

AHHH!!! There you go, thank you for the help, this works perfect after the soft reset! MUCH appreciated!

Changing softkey from reply all to reply in touchpro2 - found the registry entry!
OK, I JUST found this registry entry for the HTC Touch Pro 2. Mine is a US Cellular handset running WM 6.5. I, also, could not locate the OutlookEnhancement referred to in previous posts.
I found and changed the following registry entry, and it seems to have worked. Do this at your own risk, but if you are like me, and not finding answers anywhere else, it's worth a shot. You can always reverse it.
Find the following registry entry:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings
Locate the following value:
ShowReplyAllEmailSK1
Change the value from "1" to "0" - without quotes, obviously.
Hope this works for you as it has for me!

Whoops! I'm an idiot! Didn't see that page 2 of this thread already had the answer I found! Oh well, hopefully it will increase visibility in the search engines for others trying to find the answer!
