Change Softkey mapping (How to?)

Hi all,
I am wondering how to change the 4 soft key mapping in order to affect them another program.
This is because the 2 softkey are beginning to break themselve and I would liek to affect the 2 other softkey to do the same (i.e. affect them "Contact" and "start")... see the picture.
I already have some registry trick:
(HKCU\Software\Microsoft
Create a key named 'Home' in here ,and then another key named 'Keys', and then ANOTHER key named '113'.
First Value: 'Default'
Value Data: The text you would like on the key ... (GPC on sample screenshot)
Second value: 'Open'
Value data = "PATH OF EXE or LNK FILE" <--- example is "\Windows\tmail.exe" (it is important to enclose them in quotes)
There is no need to restart device. Just click on the right soft key, press the Home button, and then you'll see the change!)
However i'd like to know what would be the number of the 4 softkey on my QTEK 8310. Anyone know the kay mapping of this device?
Moreover, I'd like to know how "start menu" is launched by the left softkey (what exe is this in the /windows folder?)
Thanks a lot

does anyone have a screenshot of the 750 with the htc home plug in

just curious?

Looks cool
HTC home screen plug in looks amazingly good on the 750 and functionally is one of my favorites plug ins (stylus free operation). Unfortunately, it partially screws up 750 hardware buttons assigned functions. For example, to to hang up a call you have to press OK button instead of red power on/off, to place a call you have to press central "select" button instead of green "call". Soft keys are OK.
I guess the plug in is originally designed for Hermes, worked fine on my previous 8525.

Treo 750 with HTC Plugin
1. Install WM6 ATT ROM Update.
2. Install HTC Plugin Install.
3. Enable "Dial Lookup" and "HTC Home" Plugins.
4. Enable "Hide lookup Field" Option from Menu -> Preferences.
5. Modify a value on the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home\Type
and change the value of "type" to 4.
6. Modify a value on the registry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\Dial Lookup\Type
and change the value of "type" to 4.
This enabled you to move "Dial Lookup" plugin above "HTC Home" plugin.
7. Goto
HKLM/software/microsoft/shell - new dword ShowTitleBarClock with value=1
This will force the clock to show instead of two battery icon on the top bar.
Enjoy.

thanks im gonna try it

Will the today call activation screen still work or will the HTC Home stay up during calls?

Where can i download the HTC Home plugin??? Thanx in advance!

pls

use regedit and look in the registry
use regedit and look in the registry

Can't seem to get the second battery off. There was already a ShowTitleBarClock on the directory specified. Whatto do? NEVERmind Reset device now gone. thanks I was looking for the 5 tab already had the 3 tab thanks alot.

Can someone build a cab with the latest 5 tab HTC Home screen with the reg edits already applied? If someone sends me the appropriate files/reg entries, I am happy to build the cab...I dont even have a Treo - doing this for a friend!
MJB

also when I go to change my weather city there is no cities to choose from. It never populates. Hoe can I change my city in the accuweather app?

Anyone able to fix the hardware button issue or do the registry edits correct it?
This HTC homescreen just looks sick on the 750! I want to try it.
Anyone able to uninstall it?

HR will do it - got a question for the experts though - does this app interfere with com ports at all - I found that after installing this plugin my BT GPS couldnt connect to my 750v - or maybe its coincidence?

How can I remove "phone status" plugin (displaying network name, BT,CF status...) from screen? After installing HTC plugin I have HTC,status plugin and dial lookup, and cannot remove the second one.
Thanks

Can this go on just the newist treo out? not the palm but the one supporting WM6?

I like the HTC home plugin but I cannot use hidelogo at the same time...so one line at the top is burned by the ATT carrier logo. If you click on hidelogo you go into a loop of resets.

This thing is great. But I have a problem. For some reason the screen will not go blank when the "End call" button is pressed (Tried other buttons as well but nothing will turn it off). In fact the screen will not go black for about 10-15 sec. Anyone know why this would happen? Thanks

The quick dial does not let me choose which number to dial on a contact. ie. cell, home, work. Anyway to fix that?

Motorola Q9h, TomTom 6 - GPS and backlight

After installing TomTom 6 on my Motorola Q9h I had two major issues -
1) To start GPS I had to start some external GPS program
2) Backlight did not stay ON.
So, I made a launcher that fixes these things.
Copy MyTTlauncher.exe to the device,
change tt.lnk accordingly and copy to device (\Windows\Start Menu for example).
Default - TomTom and MyTTlauncher.exe are in \Program Files\Navigator\

Can you navigate and select items in the menus in tomtom? My up/down dpad controlls the volume not scrolling..thne when typing on teh keypad only the numbers make numbers so i cant type 10 of the letters so address entry is impossible
i had to edit the config file to make it com5 after using the modaco gps port setter because i couldnt select a gps comport when they listed the available...compared to running on my old 8525 this software feels very cripled on a non touch screen pda....
HOPEFULLY you have some good tips?!

Press and hold contact button (on the bottom second from the left) until phone beeps. It will switch keyboard layout between numbers and letters. You can use Fn instead of backspace. Items from the menus can be selected either via d-pad or via numbers. Unfortunately, selection from the list and browsing the map is possible only via fakecursor

Problems...
Hey guy... I have the Moto Q9h as well. i installed tom tom and your files but whenever i open tomtom and hit navigate to it says no gps device? any ideas?

You need to use Microsoft GPSID utility to map GPS to Com3, then configure TomTom to use Com3

Thanks, U-2
Would you mind to share the source code? Or explain what your program do (api calls,...)?

attached .exe does not have the part with SetSystemPowerState. I had to add it because in TT7 my on Q9h GPS stopped after several minutes. I think SetPowerRequirement became redundant, but I left it there

Thank you very much, U-2
I tried something similar (with "CeRunAppAtTime"), using only "SetSystemPowerState", but it doesn't worked out.
Finally I installed Tomtom 6 + Tomtom 6.03 and now it's working perfectly with my IPaq 214. After the installation the BT couldn't turn on, but a reset fixed it

A little help please

Hello, does someone know:
a way to map the "enter" or the key on the right of the screen in the middle of the 4 directions, to a customisable button ?
or
something that disable the function to switch of the screen when the screen is closed ?
or
something that switch of the screen that isn't just using the suspend function because for some aplications, using some key does switch on again the screen (so I also still need it to let me using keys).
don't ask why please...
Thanks for your answers, I searched for hours ...

well, I think the easiest way to do this is to switch the thing in the registry that switch off the screen when closing it, from 1 to 0, does someone ever had to edit it or saw it so I could find it faster ?
edit: is there something working as a game genie for the registry ? i mean, the search code option, here i would set "0" when the screen is open and "1" when it's closed...

Please tell me How to add Buttons link and WinMo task Manager

1.- First I wanna know how to add buttons to the Button manager... i mean Settings > Buttons > the box where the "button 1 (hold)" should be isn't there... just a "repeat Control" and "repeat Speed" slider... (note to readers, i'm using a spanish rom, i'm not sure if this is exactly what it says in the english rom but it should be similar).
1.5.- Also, i have another phone (the first one is a Motosurf and the second is a HTC Touch Viva) and it does have the box "assign app to button" (or something like that, read previous note), but it just displays one button, the "Send" key and it's mapped as "button 1 (hold)".
Is there a way to add more buttons? so i can add the volume up or volume down and the "end key" (hold) options???
2.- And the final and most importatn question is if there's a way to activate the windows default task manager on the motosurf, the one that looks like an arrow pointing downwards on the home screen... i know that some roms have it and some don't (i had that experience on the touch viva), but i want to know if there is a way to just activate it on the stock rom without flashing.
Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me, and sorry if my english is poor and for the lack of screenshots to explain myself better.

If you're a programmer you can probably change it.
If you want the software to change the buttons that you can't change, than you should buy AEVButton Plus. http://ae.inc.ru/aebplus.php
Otherwise you can only change the buttons that the settings allows you to.
