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.

WM6.1 Predictive Text

Is there any way to turn off the predictive text thing?
It is mad annoying and always puts words I dont want.
Also, some of the symbols are mixed up. For example, when I hold down the M key trying to type a !, it puts =, and i have to press Q which should be %.
Anyone else have these problems?

you have two different problems
1) hit alt and space.. and just turn off the predictive
2) download the new eT9 from my signature and copy to your phone and install the cab and that will fix your keyboard
Thanks!
Both of those worked and I also hit up your Vista steez start button.
Looks good!

Changing Today Screen Soft Keys

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

lock application / cab *** SOLVED***

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.

Power Button Anomaly

So, I've purchased a replacement LCD top portion for a sprint TP2, and everything works fine after installing it, except the new power button only works when powering the phone on initially (when it's in a completely offline state), but after that it doesn't work to shut the phone off, or wake up from standby (phone on, screen off). You must open the keyboard to get the screen back on, and either remove the battery or use some program (I've installed a CAB for this already) to shut down from the OS...
Does anybody know why this might be occurring? Another weird thing is that when the phone is not even charging, but has a battery in it (and is not powered on), it shows an orange light that would suggest it is actually charging. I've already contacted the seller of the replacement LCD (which is basically the whole top portion that includes the LCD, power button, end call buttons, etc. (the part that "slides up")...they're willing to send a replacement, but I'm wondering if this is something I can actually easily fix myself?
Thanks in advance!
Ok, if there's no way to fix this, does anybody know of how I might be able to remap another button as the power button?
Any help would be appreciated.

If you are using the NRG ROM, there is a command in the Windows directory called PowerOffWarning.exe. It executes the slide to shutdown program. You can map that to a button using the Settings / Buttons icon.

The problem is if the device goes to sleep I can't wake it back up unless I slide open the keyboard.
Is there a way to map another button to wake up the screen again also?

You can change the lock behavior such that it will answer one of the buttons. It is in the Settings / System / Key Lock icon. However that means that while it is in your pocket or case, the phone may (and probably will) come unlocked and perform some function or another.
Under Settings --> System, I don't have a key lock icon. I'm using the default Sprint ROM. Is it possible that this ROM doesn't have that icon?

Drat, I'm using NRG. However I recall that the setting is also present elsewhere in WM 6, but I'm sorry, I can't remember where. It may be in with the power application in Settings / System.
I do have WinMo 6.5, but no real option for this unfortunately..

Taking the stylus out might be another option for switching on the screen, although it's probably more convenient to slide the keyboard open given the choice!
Anyway I did a search and found this:

Ah, I forgot that removing the stylus turns the device on also. Thanks!
It seems that link is for remapping keys on the qwerty slider, but what about keys on the actual device?

I believe it works with any key on the device.
So, what is it ? It's a patched keyboard driver with configurator application for keys setup. Any key (yeah, i mean ANY, including Home and Back keys) can be reassigned to perform desired actions.

annoying problems

on my tp2 i have the energy rom installed and set keyboardconfig to set the send key when held to go to a task manager the vol keys to scroll and hold to change volume but the send key just stopped working. it feels like im chacing problems round in circles with this phone where its one thing after another. i have advance config to have most things set to "recommended" re performance bu re the send key i disabled the kbdconfig and set "buttons" as none so theres no chance of a conflict but it just wont work. the best i got was sitting it for 5 mins without the battery in one time and it worked on a restart for a while. is there anything i have set wrong that im just not seeing?
im not getting to the bottom of this in fact the problem is worsening. menu and back key no longer do what theyre supposed to and they dont register in kbdconfig either. only the hangup button functions. i have tried memmaid in case it picked up a bad registry entry or something but nothing. Please help someone i am at a loss as to what else to try.
