Friends,
I am almost done with my customization with Manila. Been using the hack apps out there for Diamond Concfig, Tweek etc..
One thing that I am not sure how to change is the home tab "contacts" to icontacts? I did this successfully with ssmapa.exe but it won't change in the home screen.
Please advise what registry edit is needed.
Thank You,
Tvos
nevermind, found it... for those intereted!
HKLM >>> software >>>> HTC >>> Manila
the left softkey path is : HomeLSKPath
and the name will be : HomeSLKText
the right softkey path is : HomeRSKPath
the text to appear will be : HomeRSKText
example the link to contacts is : windows\addrbook.lnk
and u can put this in HomeLSKPath and name test as CONTACTS
tvos
..or you can use Advanced Config (Key Mappings) ..or Diamond Tweak...both have option to change TF3D Soft keys
you didn't read what i posted earlier... icontact was not a option using the schaps or diamond tweek. i had to use the registry editor to change the file location to load..
tvos
Advanced Config has a search box for app not select box ..so you can put there whatever you want...I did it that way...
look at Menu > More Settings > Key Mapping in Advanced Config
question related to this.
how do i get it so that the people page's "all contact's" also goes to icontact.
i tried ssmapa but since the rom im using is a hd manilla port, ssmapa doesnt work proplery. know any work arounds?
edit~~nevermind figured it out.
to anybody else trying to get this to work:
make sure tf3d is disabled (go to settings->today and uncheck the box)
start up ssmapa and hit initiate
go to the poutlook.exe and change the new program to "\Program Files\iContact\iContact.exe"
arguments "$"
Working Dir to "\Program Files\iContact"
then check on the box 'patch enabled' hit save
then go to deply and hit deply patch.
turn tf3d back on and you're good to go =D

Hi there,
I'm looking for the location of the application/link that thouchflo starts when you go the programs --> Contacts.
I want to map my right softkey to it. I have changed it already to the standard wimo contacts, but I want the use the one from touchflo.
Did you find it?? I'm searching it too without success
I'm not sure if you really mean this, but I put the touchflo/manila contact view on my left softkey. You have to enter in the registry (HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila) the following:
HomeRSKPath: Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeRSKText: Contacts
Hope, this is what you wanted.. ;-)
cheers

Thanks, rohorubo, but it's not exactly what I'm searching for.
i'll try to explain with my rustical english
In the manila 2.1 "Start" menu, I can set the Icon "Contacts". But it opens the "WM6.1-Contacts", and I prefer the "Manila"-Contacts (that it's more finger-friendly, and includes photos).
I'm searching for the file that opens the Manila-Contacts. So, I could add a shortcut, and have an Icon in the Start Menu.
Sorry for my very bad english. Hope someone understand something
Path is in this registry key HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1 (if you have Contacts icon on 2nd place) . but I didn't try it
The time of confusing words is over
In a few words: "I need the .exe file that runs this application (see screenshot). Where can I find it?"
Thanks a lot!!
You should read the posts more carefully.
The file is \Windows\Manila.exe
The arguments required are --switchtopage Manila://people/browserlayer/?.page
So, if you wanted to make the Contacts icon on the default start page go to the Manila contacts page instead of the WM6 page, in HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1
under Command you add --switchtopage Manila://people/browserlayer/?.page
and change Path to read \Windows\Manila.exe

Hey all,
I am currently using the energy rom with TF3D2..
I'm not to good at alterations to the phone and tweaks etc. but i am wondering.. on the home screen where the clock is.. the softkeys are LEFT: Contacts RIGHT: Comm Mgr.
Now my question is.. am i able to change the Comm Mgr. one (as i never use it) to say an action screen that i've installed? I have tried numerous things and they dont seem to work. On the original Touch Flo i knew how to do it but as i said, i cant figure out how to do it on the new one..
Any help would be much appreciated!

Have you used advanced config?

I have cahnged it using softkey manager that came with the rom but it still doesnt work?

My bad. Thats a ROMeOS exclusive thing .
Sounds like you are using WM6.5.
The CHome homescreen takes over the softkey assignments the same way TouchFlo3D does. In order to change the Left and Right Softkey, you'll have to make the change manually in the registry or from a CHome Titanium Customizer.
The registry setting is easy if you know the link url to the file you want
Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\CClock\
Find the Strings "SK2TEXT" and "SK2URL". The SK2TEXT is the name the button will display, and the URL is the link.
If you're wondering, in the main CHome Key (folder) you'll find the SK1TEXT and SK1URL which is the Left SoftKey; although I would leave contacts up there.
he said hes using tf3d2. he didnt say he was using chome.
Thanks for that! I found it in the registry.. the only thing is.. how do i create a URL for the program that i want to run when i click that softkey?

I have solved it and changed the key. Thank you all for the help!
HI
When one clicks the Start Menu/button in TF3D, a page with programs will open up instead of the WM start menu drop down.
My question is how does one assign one of the buttons to point to open a folder (eg Games Folder) instead of a program?
Thanks for reading and your help

Thanks
Exactly what I was looking for. All is done manually but it didn't take so much time.
Thanks for your help.....
Will try it out....
Another thing - anyway to turn off the TF3D start menu and reactivate the standard WM dropdown start menu?
Thanks
I am not sure to understand exactly what you want.
If you want to unload tf3d please go in setup => personal => today => then in element unselect TouchFlo3D.
My Rom is in french so I am not sure about the translation. I attached some screenshot : it will be easier
he does not want to disable touchflo3d, when he goes to the touchflo3d startmenu he wants to assign one of the buttons there to open a map(out of the box you can only open programs in the start menu of touchflo3d))

It's easy
- Open your registry editor;
- HKLM - Software - HTC - EnlargeMenu - EnableManilaStartMenu (Change "1" to "0")
- Soft reset...
That's it No need to install any .cab or smthing...
Yes, it will be great if we can have both where Start menu still can be active w/ drop menu and the Windows key button still can be a short cut to program short cut menu.
Anyway to get both of this together since the Diamond2 tf3d menu does not have Program SHORT CUT menu but using the windows start function.
Is there any way to keep the WIndows button as the Program shortcut key & the WIndows Start menu as Drop-down menu.
If I change the value from 1 to 0, the program shortcut function under window button does not work anymore/
Pls help
is there an programm to change the softkeys in WM6.5?
or does anybody have the links to the programms under windows?
I want a softkey to Phone and one to Contacts.
Search for Advanced Configuration Tool

I have installed this programm, but where can I change both softkeys?
In Adv Conf
Menu-More Settings-Key mapping
You can also do it changing the registry; in HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila you have the keys HomeRSK and HomeLSK; where RSK is Right SoftKey and LSK is Left Softkey.
In HomeRSKPath you put the path to the programm you want to launch, in HomeRSKText you put the text you want to put in the Softkey.
Hope it helps.
What is the way to change the softkeys while Manila is running? Manila overwrites my softkey mapping while its running.
~Eyghon
Please.... use the search function... there are at least 5 threads which are about chaninging the softkeys.
Once you have changed the registry you MUST do a Soft Reset to apply the changes.
FYI I'm using;
Softkeys Control Panel Applet
Here's a direct link;

I need a cab to cook into a ROM which is the change of the left home softkey from 'Phone' to 'Phonebook' using #74 from the tweaks thread in General...
74. Add All Contacts to Home Screen Left Softkey
By default the left softkey on the the Sense home tab is coded to Phone which is pointless and a waste because you can get to the same Phone page by pressing the Send hardware key. Change it to the All People page (eliminating 2 taps) by using the following reg entry:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Phonebook
I can get it to say 'Phonebook' but the path change isn't being picked up in my ROM - I know it can be done as Dutty uses it in his HG ROMs but I wanna add it to my own and I'm having issues!!
You can make your own cabs with QuickCab. Have a look at the bookmark link in my sig - it's in there
