Wizard WM6 - Change phone softkeys function - General Topics

Hey,
been having a problem with WM6 on my wizard. A certain program that i must install causes the phone left softkey to be stuck on "contacts" (instead of "hide keypad" and "show keypad"). this is a major problem since when I call a service or an operator, I need to push buttons, but I can't get to the keypad during a call.
Is there anyway to change that? (registry, program, other)
Thanks a lot for any help.

Look in the WIKI there are several different ways to change your Softkeys in WM6.
The Wiki doesn't have info on the keypad softkeys.. I've checked.
Anyway, I found a solution to the problem, but I can't apply it.
I have to rename a file named "tapres.dll.0409.mui" and then SR, and it should solve my problem. The problem is that I just can't rename it. I've tried using Total Commander, File explorer and GSfinder with no success. I even did a HR and tried again with no success.
Any ideas how can I rename that file?
if its just the bottom softkeys you want to change i think this is what your looking for

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?

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?

How do I disable the keyboard???

Hi there,
here's a question relating to the soft-keyboard:
I noticed that with some applications (e.g. PHM reg editor) when I want to punch in a value and hit the corresponding field the keyboard will pop up (which is perfect so far). Now, the keyboard sometimes hides the OK button which I'd have to hit to accept the changes but somehow I can't convince the keyboard to go back where it came from - there's no button to disable or change it (like the "12" button you sometimes see in the bottom).
What can I do to get rid of the keyboard in such situations? Is there maybe a hardware button??
Thanks a lot
There's an icon between the soft keys on the bottom of the screen that changes according to the desired input method. Touch that and a keyboard will magically disappear, regardless of the selected input method.
The input method icon, is always displayed when there's a possibility for text input.
ps.: RTM

Read the manual and like I said:
There's NO icon displayed at the bottom of the screen!
Then use another program, that's the best workaround that i can come up whith..
Or there's the possibilty of a greater underlying problem that would need a Hard Reset to fix it... so far you're the first whith this problem...
Indeed, I've had this too before, try using WM6 compatbile software, I though that was my problem a few weeks ago. An example is Mozilla Minimo, which is horrible on WM6, not being able to remove the keyboard, or even better, hiding it, but not refreshing the contents behind the keyboard

Exactly, Minimo is another one of those applications that show this problem.
How about changing your default kb to something else?
There is a reg hack to disable the SIP from displaying when you put focus on any text field, but that is not a good solution for a device that doesn't have a physical kb. I use it on my Treo 750 since I don't need the SIP. However, on the TC, it would make much sense.
On a bit of a side note, I have heard that if TC owners want to use another kb besides the standard Xt9 version, you need to apply the following to disable it:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\compime.dll
Layout Text=COMP IME
To Turn on again
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Layouts\e0010409
Ime File=\windows\eT9Ime.dll
Layout Text=eT9 IME
Did your registry tweaks will stop pop up of any keyboard when accessing a text area?
That's what I 'm looking for. Because I installed a full screen keyboard and I use it with a button.
Thxs.
up!!!
Pleaaaaase'!
This app will keep the keyboard from poping up automatically. You can still open it manually. I've not tried it with WM6.

Thanks a lot!
It works!
what full screen keyboard are you using?
I use SPB full keyboard.

Question on Slider home screen

Hello friends, I got the WM6.1 Plane Jane Final by Ricky installed on my Cingular 2125 and I'd like to change the tabs on my home screen.
I have used the CHome Settings tool in Settings tab to hide a few tabs that I don't need (My Faves, Internet etc). When I exit the CHome Settings program, it asks me whether to save and I always say "yes". When I am back to the home screen, I see it changed.
BUT, on restart, I lose everything ! All the default tabs along with default pages are back. So, is there a way I can make this permanent?
Is it a known problem, is there a solution for it? I tried searching, but didn't help much. Thanks for any help.
i have the same question
but sometimes i restart the cellphone it was still Ok

S2U2 : manualy uninstall

I have a little problem. I've desactivate S2U2 manually because included in a ROM, but now when i receive a call, my phone ring but don't show me who is calling. I must push the ON button to see who is calling and i can response with slide to response from WM 6.5.5.
Is it a registry key to restore the default WM 6.5.5 show who is calling ?
thank's.
Windows/StartUp and delete file called ilock.
Soft reset. And see if it goes back to normal. That ilock is basically the s2u2 exe.
good day.
i've made this, but nothing more... ilock is deleted from stratup and programs files.
I thing it modify a registry key, but i don't know wich key
