I saw someone mentioned this in another thread, and it was difficult searching for a solution. I did a search and it's difficult searching through the post when your key words are WM6 new delete messaging. On the text messaging section on bottom left, they have the option delete when I remember back in WM5, they have it as a new option. Does anyone know of a fix?
Ya i just saw that today. I mean what the hell were they thinking! people wright new messages more then delete them. Please help fix. this is killing me!
I think people delete messages more than they create. This change is actually pretty nice. You can new a message from today screen using the wm5NEW.
In messaging, clicking right softkeys, followed by action key also can new a message quickly.
Welcome to WM6.
I used the tnsms.exe option where you fix the left softkey(labelled NewSMS) to call it. This reduces to just one key press to start a new sms. The right softkey I left it for Saman's WM5NewMenu for other less accessed stuff.
I don't suggest you to use softkey software
It will let your ppc screen freeze some times.
To change the application launched by the Today screen Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\Calendar.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "Calendar" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
To change the application launched by the Today screen Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\Open = "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Right soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\113\(Default) = "Contacts" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
So..
If you wnna change the left softkey to NewSMS,
you need copy tnsms.exe to windows (WM6 not include it)
then use registry edit to change:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\Open = "\Windows\tnsms.exe" (REG_SZ string, including quotes)
To change the title of the Left soft key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112\(Default) = "New SMS" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
I believe they are talking about changing it in the actual SMS app, not on the today screen.

Hey guys,
ive been searching for this quite long and im still searching
Is there some kind of reg-hack where i can disable the scroll-bar on my today screen?
G00gle and boardsearch doesnt help me :/
hmmmm...common sense tells me that there isn't.
how would you expect your today screen to look like if you have 6-8 today plug-ins? with no scroll bar?
i hate that scroll bar too.
so to evoide it, i keep only the Date plug-in, SPB Diary (combines messagin+callendar+tasks+contacts+notes in the same space), and SPB Plus (quick launch icons).
sow with those 3 today plugins i evoid scroll bars.
you should resize the scrollbars sizes. i use the size 8 on my M5000.
it looks very smaller but it is still touchable and draggable even with the nail of my finger.
but i don't think there is a way to get rid of the scrollbars.
what method of fitting many today plugins would you suggest? this is the only one.
Nono guys, just thinning the scrollbars is definitely not the answer.
I actually did some searching as well and I found a statement of vijay555 and it worked fine on my device. There is a registry entry that can define whether there should be a scrollbar for a today item or not. You just set "type=5" for these today items and the scrollbar disappears:
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.
The thread I'm referring to is that one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1172614&postcount=4
Yes nice, this was exacly what i was looking for BUT after a soft reset the reg doesnt save it.... and the order of the items is wrong and cant move em in the settings... "order" reg-setting doesnt change anything :/
mhh will have a look at this.
--Edit--
Seems it does work only for the top 3 items on the list. if a 4th one is set to type = 5 an other one gets automaticly type 4 :/
It does not always work. Do we always have to replace the value by the number "5" only?
For example, if I wanted to keep the owner info up top. The original value is "0". Based on the link you posted, replace it with "5", but instead of still showing the owner info, it completely disappears from the list. I'm just experimenting anyway. As Vijay said, BACKUP 1st.

Same thing with Calendar.
I updated my I-mate sp5 to WM6 and started playing with a theme. It all seemed to work fine until i changed some reg settings as described in this text:
In a registry editor go to this key:
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/Rai/:MSStart
Check if you have an entry called "BKBitmapFile". If you do not, create a new "String" value.
Name : BKBitmapFile
Value data: \Application Data\Home\startmenubg.bmp
Add the following lines to the same key :MSStart
a Dword value with the name BKBitmapLogPixelsX and the data value 131 in decimal
a Dword value with the name BKBitmapLogPixelsY and the data value 131 in decimal
a Dword value with the name BKBitmapTransparent and the data value 16711935 in decimal (or FF00FF in hexa )
a Dword value with the name BKDefaultGradient and the data value 1 in decimal
a Dword value with the name BKFlags and the data value 26 in decimal
and finally a String value with the name BKUnselected and the value data COLOR_ALERTWINDOW
Copy startmenubg.bmp to
\Application Data\Home\
Soft-reset your device.

Then i didn't like it and deleted the added keys and the background... now my start menu is empty... not just invisible, when i press the right buttons i get nowhere. I just get a black screen saying More and Menu.
In the file explorer I see all the items in Windows\Start Menu so that shouldn't be the problem... Changing the theme to another one and rebooting didn't work.
Please help me!!

How about undoing all the registry changes you did, and rebooting? Otherwise you will have to do a hard reset.
Hi,
Does anybody know how to change the softkeys of the landscape page of TF3D? I know about the registry keys but they only change the softkey on the (portrait) homescreen of TF3D.
I want to put Second Today screen on a softkey since the landscape page isn't really what I need.
Thanks, cheers,
Cacti
Ciao, do you have any news about this?
Advance Config 3.2
Use the tool Advance Config 3.2
/Daniel
I dont think we would be able to change the landscape keys with advance config,,,,,
I think somebody from our intelligent community should really give a hand to help us out in changing the landscape keys. Or may be ability to change the prorams on landscape TF3D screen.

Advance Config 3.2 does not support TF3D-Landscape mode...
So yes, we would like to have SSMaPa to be extended to change the links for TF3D-Landscape. And we would like to see people who come up with Manila Themes to take care of the landscape graphics as well...

Most of the themes support landscape. Just don't use TF3D Config to install them. After you have restore the original theme with the Config tool, rename the .theme file to .zip, and copy it's contents to \Windows folder.
You see, most themers use a Diamond, which doesn't have Manila Landscape files, thus they don't include them in their themes. TF3D deletes all manila files in \window directory and then replaces the Theme files. So your Manila Landscape files are gone...
Still no solution?
I would love to change my landscape softkeys. Just dont know where to look in registry

1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuLSKPath, add it.
3. Edit LandscapeMenuLSKPath to the program you want the left soft key to run (e.g. \windows\operal.exe)
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuLSKText, add it.
5. Edit LandscapeMenuLSKText to the label you want to use for the left soft key (e.g. Internet)
6. Repeat steps 2-5 for the right soft key (LandscapeMenuRSKPath and LandscapeMenuRSKText)
Works like a charm, thank you. I suggest adding it to Advanced Config
hello!
i changed the right one to Messenger (\Windows\WLMMessenger.exe), but I can't change the left one.
The softkey is the Phone, and it doesnt appear on registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila), even when I try to create one new LandscapeMenuLSKPath and Text it says it already exists.
The Phone softkey is so useless for me, when I want to call I simply have the call button (green)...
please help me!
deiota
Sorry Deiota, can't help, ITNV's instructions worked perfectly for me. Try again?
I wanted to add a little extra functionality by having my right soft key open a new SMS. With some messing around, based on ITNV's instructions I added three new strings as follows:-
1. Go to the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila key in your registry
2. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKPath, add it.
3. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKPath to read: \windows\tmail.exe
4. If you don't have a String entry called LandscapeMenuRSKText, add it.
5. Edit the LandscapeMenuRSKText value to read: New SMS
6. If you don't have a string called LandscapeMenuRSKArguments, add it.
7. Edit the value of LandscapeMenuRSKArguments to read: -service "SMS" -to ""
Hope I've explained this properly, works for me : )
when you say add a string is that adding a "key" or a "value"?
im using regeditor
landscape softkeys
Will this work for the Fuze?
If so, can someone tell me where to find HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\\Manila in my registry? I couldn't find it.
Thanks.
Never mind previous drjim posts
I just figured out that HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE = HKLM. Doooh...
tried and failed
I want to change my landscape softkeys to Google Maps and Dictionary. I followed both ITNV's and Ouzo's instructions exactly. The only difference was that I created the Arguments that Ouzo suggested, though they don't appear to be necessary because Home RSK doesn't have an argument.
I was unclear on what precisely to put in the Arguments. The HomeLSKArguments just had Contacts (my designated softkey) without any punctuation.Ouzo, when you put -service "SMS" -to "", did you mean all of the dashes and quotes?
I made sure the both GM and D exe files were in Windows.
I also compared the Landscape RSK and LSK strings to the Home RSK and LSK that denote the standard softkeys and everything was consistent.
Still didn't work.
Suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Is there any way to change the full screen popup menu in 6.5 to the normal type of pop up menu?
Preferably to the larger type of popup menu (the finger friendly type) instead of the old 6.1/5.0 popup menu
Many thanks
Theres a number of things you can do to get it like that... you can install fingermenu.. or you can use Advanced Config to increase menu text size to LARGE which will make it similar to that.
Thanks Aegishua that is what I have and I dont want the full screen menu.
I just want the normal pop up menu, I have 'borrowed' this picture from elsewhere but I just want this type of menu...
No idea's anybody?
The one you have is...
Rhodium menu enhacement... so i think that feature is cooked inside... you must to find another rom without this feature cooked inside... or maybe there is a reg hack to disable the feature but i dont know where maybe you can search in HKLM/software/htc/
good luck
I would try another rom...
Thanks + QUE
I knew it would be a registry edit somewhere and after spending ages looking I coundent find anything but you hit the nail on the head "Rhodium menu enhacement"
A quick Google for the above pointed me to some cab files on XDA-Developers nd after deleting the entries hey presto I did look here but I did not know what the real name of the new style menu was so for anyone else intrested follow this...
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCMENUS
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCSCROLL
Delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\RESPROXY
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\MASD and delete the two items HTCSCROLL and MENUENHANCEMENT
Then navigate to HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\PKG and delete the item SHADOW
Then vavigate to HKLM\SYSTEM\GWE\MENU and delete the item CUIHANDLER
Thats it, enhanced menus but not full screen.
anyone help me .owner is missing i realy need that for some Resco program.thank's
Go to the People (contacts) app. There's an entry called 'me' at the top of the contacts list; it's like your personal business card. Fill in your details here and they're automatically used for the legacy 'owner info'.
Trust me, I've registered Resco Explorer perfectly fine this way.
There's a registry fix somewhere to get the old owner info screen back but, as you can see, you don't need it.

Same thing happened to me. You have to go to "Settings" - then "Menu" at the bottom right & choose "More" - "Private" --> "Owner info" --> "Alternatives" & uncheck the Identityinformation-box (dunno what it's called in english, running swedish menues on my phone).
Hope that helps

Method 1 :
Fire up a Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner and remove the redirect.
(You can also remove redirects from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Buttons and HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Input).
Method 2 :
Fire up a Registry Editor, navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Owner and create a new DWord called “Hide” (without the quotes)
and set its value to 0. If you already have this, change the value from 1 to 0. Soft reset.
Method 3 :
If you don’t like playing with the Registry Keys
1.Go into Today settings, Items tab
2.Enable “Owner Info” while disabling others and tap OK.
3.Enter the Owner Info via the Today screen.
4.After you’re done, adjust back your Today settings accordingly.
