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.

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.

Don't know why you'd want to move these, but the above thread should work for you
Welcome to xda developers and the addiction!!
I tried it. It works, but the softbuttons (Phone / Contacts) gets replaced by "IDS_CAMERA" :S
use registry editor and go at HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
and set
HomeLSKPath =Left softkey (exe to launch)
HomeLSKText =Left softkey text
HomeRSKPath =Right softkey (exe to launch)
HomeRSKText =Right softkey text
Somewhere in the forum i found a clock. When you install the clock the calendar and call history will be removed.
You can move the clock anywhere you want in the today screen.

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!
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.
Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks
I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me
Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.
Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).
I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.
I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

Problem is that (at least on my TMO unit, but I've seen others report the same thing)
HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.
-Steve
On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.
Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).
Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(
nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?
I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere
yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?
I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.
@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.
Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)
