Wizard WM6 - Change phone softkeys function

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.

Can I change phone softkeys function?

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!

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?

Autocomplete is inactive!

I've tried every possible trivk and hack, nothing worked! Soft keyboard is not activating "Auto Complete" in any way. I only experience the T9 auto completion but not the usual keyboard.
Is there a bug with T9 or some kinda conflict?

as already been here once and also in the diamond forum, There is no standard auto complete on the handset. The settings are there, cos they are built in to windows mobile, but no dictionary has been added.
the only word completion is using t9!

Hi,
a question about text messages.
Can anyone tell how I automatically get the mobile number in the "to" line? Is it "to" in the English version? In the German it is "an".
I hope you understand what I mean.
In my Vario II I just hit a key and from the contacts the number is automatically filled into the line.
Whatever I tried so far I am not able to do the same in the Raphael.
Thanks for your help.
S.

Just start typing the name of your desired contact, and WM will suggest? Then choose and voila, number is there.

autocomplete for soft keyboard/block recognizer is disabled due to t9. in order to use, you must disable t9.
to disable t9, use something like Advanced Config tool or KaiserTweak or something similar. On the list, look for xt9, and disable and exit. Power off phone and after soft reset, your autocomplete will show when writing some text.

I guess this was a typical solution...

Thanks anyways.

Anybody have Windows mobile transcriber cab?

Hi,
My Pocket PC doesn't have a transcriber on it, it's running WM6.1. Does anybody have a transcriber cab that I can install? I'd prefer the Windows transcriber instead of third party ones.
Thankyou.

Just an update I think I do have a transcriber but it doesn't work.
Here is what happens.
When I click the Keyboard icon at the bottom and from the menu when I select transcriber I get the Message :
"Transcriber's touch handler is not installed. Did you reset your PPC by pressing "reset" hidden button after installation?".
How do I fix this problem?
I have tried totally turning my PPC off and on again (Like a Reset, not just display off).
Thanks.
