This is really puzzling me now.
My Xda IIs has taken to freezing when you press the new button on the taskbar at the bottom?
I noticed from looking at the registry on the device there is a referance to a msnewmnu.dll, however I can't seem to find this file on the device?
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{CC76B8E6-99CD-11d2-8C2F-00C04F72E246}\InprocServer32, , msnewmnu.dll
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance, its really starting to annoy me now!

I had this same problem and found it was a corrupted entry in the New Menu Shell entries in the registry. If you have PHM RegEdit or similar look here :
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Extensions/NewMenu
Under this key you will find a number of sub keys which have GUID numbers. These relate to GUIDs in the registry which start an application and launch the correct "New" routine within them. Have a look under each of these GUIDs and see if one relates to software which you have recently removed (Mine was when I removed Pocket Informant for example) and delete the entire GUID sub key under the NewMenu Sub Key.
Hope this helps....
I found an entry that had no value for it, deleted it and it works mint!
Thanks alot m8 your a star!
I'm looking for the code, dll, or application location that locks the keypad on wm phones. I'm looking to map one of my keys to lock the keypad whenever pressed. I thought the lock functionality on wm phones was an application but tons of searching turned nothing up.
Specifically, I have a t-mobile dash (htc s620) and want to map my t-zones key to lock my phone by editing the \Windows\short_IE.lnk file which controls the key's mapping
lock app
im looking for that too did you find it?
the closest i got was this:

Hey, you can use the star key and it will lock your phone. Also holding the end call key will lock your phone. Additionally if you want to download the new 3volution ROM by Ookba on the Dash/Excalibur forum it comes with a built in keylock that locks the keypad after 10 seconds of inactivity. If you come post over in the Dash forum I'll hunt you down an app to solve whatever problem you have.
I figured out how to do this:
1) Find the DeviceLock.exe in windows/
2) Tap and hold on the EXE file, and select Copy from the context menu that popped up.
3) Navigate to Windows\Start Menu and you will see your current start menu programs in that folder. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list and tap and hold in white space (a blank part of the screen below all other programs), then choose Paste Shortcut. This will place a shortcut in your start menu. You can then rename the shortcut to whatever you choose.
Then you can go an modify the button mappings in settings and select the new shortcut you created in the start menu and you're done.

In WM6.0 Pro I didn't had the DeviceLock.exe on windows folder. so I had to use the cab above.
Still I don't get it why in a Samsung Omnia with WM6.1 you can lock the keyboard by pressing for 2 seconds the end call button and on HTC P3600 with WM6.0 the end call button doesn't do that.
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!
I was wondering is it would be possible to remove the "phone" and "camera" button on the bottom of the home screen on my TP2, actually replacing those would be better ?
Thanx
Lots of threads about this. Search is your friend! Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=551145&highlight=change+softkeys

Have you searched?
Softkey & reassign would brought you to this link:
Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key. I don't know about other page yet.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
HomeLSKText - text of the button.
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
(Credits go to sudsboy)
(Crosspost with Gordon, I've searched too long )
Use Advanced Config 3.3
It has the option under Menu/More options/Key mapping
You will need .net 3.5 installed to make this work tho
Thanx Jimllfixit, it's much less complicated than starting to play in the registry.
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)
