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
Hi all!!
I have some problems with my touchflo 3D, but I cannot find the right thread to my problem. Could you please someone help me!
I installed the TFDetacher on my new HTC HD which I bought lately, so I havent yet installed any applications before.
I installed NETCFSetupv35 on my mobile so I can be able to run the touchflo 3D.
The TouchFlo Mode in the TFD Config is set to TouchFlo 3D and with launch TouchFlo on startup.
My problem is that I don't get this TouchFlo 3D effect!! I'm still having the standard (out of the box) effect. When I assign the TF left / Right and the Today left / right softkeys, the screens turns out blank for the Today!! I have to go on start, programs and restart the TouchFlo progrma and desabling the soft keys!
As you can see, I maybe missing some basic stepas or maybe my installation was corrupted! Can anyone help me please, it will be highly appreciated!
Thanks!

The instructions for TFDetacher do cover what I think your problem is, but here goes anyway...
Open TFD config, select "Menu", and then select "Load TouchFlo 3D Defaults" (or Defa... as it is in portrait.) You get asked "Are you sure", so click yes, and then click save.
Next, go to start menu and settings, and select "Today". When that opens, select the "Items" tab (at the bottom of the screen), and check boxes for all the things you want to see on your today screen. Make sure that TouchFlo 3D IS NOT checked.
When you've finished that, and closed the settings (and maybe the programs) window, you'll be on the winmobile today screen, but you should have a TouchFlo softkey. If you click that, it will run TouchFlo 3D (takes a few seconds first time you do this), and you will then have a Today softkey. That switches you back to the today screen.
If you follow those instructions, then you should have no problems. I've done it as I've been typing, so I know it works. If you do have any problems, let us know and I'm sure someone will be able to help.
Cheers,
John.
Still nothing!
Thanks John for your help!
But I followed ur steps and I've done them twice, but still nothing! I cannot get that effect! still with the same effect!
Also, I included 3 items in the today, the TouchFlo wqasnt selected. Also, the Touchflo soft key appeared, it took few seconds but then I didnt show me a softkey for today. I went to start, clicked on Today, and nothing happened. My softkeys in home are: Phone and Programs. The only way to access the Today is through Settings, and when I press ok, it takes me to Today screen, a Touchflo soft key appears, when clicked it takes me back to the standard Home.
I uninstalled the application and installed it again... funny, the touchflo softkey appeared again and I couldnt access the home, so I had to re-install it!
Also, as regards to your note:
"Open TFD config, select "Menu", and then select "Load TouchFlo 3D Defaults" (or Defa... as it is in portrait.) You get asked "Are you sure", so click yes, and then click save."
In my TFDConfig, I only have 3 tabs; About, Config and Advanced. The softkeys are Save and Cancel and they are never changed when I'm accessing the Config. Thus, I cannot find the "Menu" not even the Load Defaults.
Please note that in the About tab the version downloaded is TouchFlo Detacher v1.0.0.5 In the config tab, I can select from TouchFlo3D,2D and Custom, mine is set to 3D. The Launch at startup is selected, the After Launch is not selected. The soft keys for "Change TouchFlo Left Soft Key" and "Change TouchFlo Right Soft Key" App and Text are both emtpy. The only soft key available is the: "Change Today Left Soft Key" which is set to TouchFlo.
The Advanced Tab is all disabled, I cannot change anything, even if I had to, I don't know what they stand for!!
Any help please??!!
Thanks again!

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.
How do you change the registry to make the left soft key into a lock button??
What do I type?
I tried remapping the left soft key when the TF3d is loaded with Advanced config and now when I press the soft key it does nothing but flash. I also tried SK Tools but still it shows camera but does nothing. I don't want to "hard reset" Again...Lol if I can help it so does anyone know what the reg value is and where? One more question is how can I (if possible) lengthen the keyboard lite up time and the time that the icons stay on when TF3d is activated
Thanks...Joe
Search is your friend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3939348&postcount=4 for the softkeys. There are reg hacks for display timeout, I don't know if they alter the keyboard timeout

Thanks for the reply but it looks like another hard reset to get the softkey working again. I tried what you suggested but still no good. Thank you for your time ...Tj
Has anyone had this issue with the stock ROM? I changed the PTT button to Voice Command without issue and the next time I went in to make a change there were 4 new options for "Button" (see attached). 3 by default are assigned to <Context Menu> and I can't exit the screen with more than one button being assigned to a specific function. Don't want to change buttons unless I know which ones they are. Any ideas? Thanks!
No issue for me. I've reassigned both buttons, but have not had this issue. Mind you, I did not reassign PTT to Voice Command but to Rotate Screen -- don't know if that would be relevant (but I doubt it).
