Softkey Changer

I made a little Cab file of the Softkey Changer App I found somewhere in an Extended Rom.
Since there are a lot of people who want to change the softkeys.
Enjoy

what does it do? Is it to change application in the main (today) softkeys?
or can it also change softkey in other applications such as Outlook Mobile?
Thanks in advance.

I too am confused. Isn't there already an option to change whatever application we can launch using the soft key buttons by going to the system settings?

This application is not standard in every Rom.
If you don't have it in your Rom, you can add it now.
Yes you can assign every program to one of the softkeys.

sharky48 thanks for this fantastic thing. I use to have some other one, bu this is just perfect.
Thanks again

I did not make it, I'm only supplying.
I did read about something like this in a very old post, but this is more up 2 date.

This one is much better:
- It allows to select any application whereever the application is.
- Allows to rename the Soft Key Display Name
- The applet can be put on any Tab (Personal, System or Connections) of Settings
Cheers,
.Fred
ps.: the only disavantage is that the size of the applet is 63k against the 18k of yours

You need to unzip the file and copy the applet file to \windows folder then perform a soft reset.

Thanks for the explaination. Appreciate it.

Does anyone know of a way to access call history using the softkeys, or even the hard keys?
On my old C500 i think there was an executable somewhere which opened call history, and it was possible to point a button at this, can't seem to find one on the hermes though.

Thanks! Does anyone has these files: tnsms.exe (for "New SMS" command) and tnmms.exe (for "New MMS" command) in folder: My Pocket PC\Windows\ ? Couldn't run softkeys for "New SMS" or "New MMS".
Thanks again!

so i got the app working but on WM6 even though i changed the soft key in the program on the today screen the right soft key still says menu
what should i try to change that?
also how do i edit the names so instead of it saying messaging for the left soft key it becomes Messaging with a capitol?

There should be an option there to rename it. Just read it carefully. It should be at the top.

wow thanks im stupid.
however still i cannot change the right soft key, even though i have a program selected in the program, on the today screen it still wont change from Menu

So I changed the right soft key to new sms and it didnt work, so I changed it back to Calendar but now it gives me an error:
HTCCalendar.exe
The file "HTCCalendar" cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file.
This is using the former file (soft key changer.zip) not applet.

Even resetting doesnt help.

I would check the start menu folder, see if the shortcut is still in there for some reason. If so delete it.

Auto Wifi On At Power Up ?

Quick question because I've googled around and on here an it seems this can only be done by an app from the home screen when its started... at least that seems the recomended way.
Is there a patch or a reg setting to switch it on automatically after a power on / reboot ?
TIA
Terran

How to remove the first four shortcuts

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the first four shortcuts in the start menu of the htc touch pro 2? Thanks.

i also want to know this. Maybe in the registry?

Yup, you can do that in the registry.
Go to HKLM\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
There you see a a lot of numbered folders.
Start menu begins with zero for the first icon.
You can unlock them by going in the folder for example 0.
There you'll find a key named "IsReadOnly" with a value of "1".
Change the 1 into a 0 and voila, now you can change or delete the link.
So the first four locked items you'll find in the folders 0,1,2 and 3.

Re-assign 'Search' button in navbar

Is it possible to re-assign 'Search' button so that it opens other apps? (I don't use Search)
Found registry keys at 'HKLM/System/Touch/Buttons'. There were 'Name' & 'Vkey' value.
Tried changing the values of 'Search' button to match 'Back' button, but it made no difference. Anybody knows whether there are any other registry keys for this function?
Thanks

It is possible.
In wehlockdown.xml file I have remaped the press and long press of the button but I loose the possibility to view my app list.
Of course I can open the apps through store...
I try to use the XML file to remap only the search without changing anything else.
I wait for heathcliff to unlock my 950 so in storage mode to see what changes are made when the search key is mapped...
I have spent a lot of time with XML files.
Here is the place if you want to try.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/configuration/mobile-devices/lockdown-xml
Do you have these keys in touch>settings or is it only me?

Did you was able to update the device after all?

My device was already updated when I did it

Cool. Thanks a lot for the info
Can you tell me the location of 'wehlockdown.xml' file ?
I guess mass storage mode needs to be unlocked to edit 'xml' files? (Then I Need to wait for wpinternals 2.5 to support latest FCU)
I see these keys in Touch>Settings

You can use this app https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/lockdown-designer/9nblggh40753 for creating lockdown.xml and deploying it to device.

Yeah I got that app from the above link posted by @NIKOSXRI, connected my phone to the app and also saved the file to local directory. But there wasn't any option to deploy it to the phone.
Its easier to directly edit the xml file in Phone and remove few lines from it.

Try Project settings/General settings/Sync or Validate&Export
You can also import existing xml.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/wi...isioning-packages/provisioning-create-package
You can create a prov package with windows configuration designer and put the xml file in embeded lockdown profiles place.Then you install the package putting it in the phone from usb file explorer.
I will attach my package and my xml file for you to test.
The search button when pressed opens the settings page and with long press opens one-note.
BUT the app list doesnt show though the apps exist and open from store app with the launch button.
ALSO the live tiles have some problems...
After installing the package I show some registry entries that must be changed for a better result but i have not an unlocked phone...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>Windows>WEH>DeviceLockdownProfile
Inside last key there are settings that need to be changed...I believe that the app list will appear if we change the menulockdown from 0 to 1 and also the enabletile manipulation from 0 to 1...
I attach my package in filebin
https://filebin.net/vso7xlldyv2lupc3

I dont see any button remaping

Is this the only way? I thought I had to just edit xml files in internal storage or some reg keys. Can you tell me the risks of deploying a provisioning package?

When you remove it the things that are screwed remain and you must hard reset.
So you better dont do it in your primary device

Ohhh. It is my primary device. Then I will wait for WPI 2.5 so that I can make a complete backup of my phone and then try this. [Already done lots of registry edits, don't wanna do that all again ]
And about that app list missing thing, I selected all apps and settings in Lockdown Designer and exported the file along with Nav buttons changes(My XML file had all apps/settings entries). So I believe there wont be an issue if its packaged in this way. Can you create a provisioning package from the attached file?View attachment wehlockdown.xml
