Apologies if there's already a thread about this; it seems like there should be, but I couldn't find one.
Anyway: I recently upgraded from a Kaiser to a Touch Pro (AT&T branded Fuze), and while I like the TouchFlow 3D interface in general, I'd like to remap some of the softkeys do do different things.
For example, I use O3Touch as a contact manager (http://www.o3touch.com/screenshots.html), so I'd like to have the "contacts" softkey on the home page, and the "all people" softkey on the people tab to point to that instead of to the default contact manager. I never use the calendar, so I want to use the "calendar" softkey on the home tab for something else.
I can't find any obvious config files, reg settings or apps that can remap softkeys within the TouchFlo interface. Can anyone help?
download and install total commander and navigate to \\Plugins\registry\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila and change HomeLSKPath, HomeLSKText, HomeRSKPath, and HomeRSKText to what you want. You can only change the softkeys on the home tab though.
Thanks!
That does exactly what I want.

Can someone here tell me what is the app name for the Contacts application, I want to put the shortcut as one of the home screen softkeys but couldn't find it.
I searched \windows folder but it's not there. Thanks.

Sorry to ask here, can't find with search.
Is there a possibility to remap right softkey in order to turn on/off wlan.
It would be useful.
Maybe just putting the link to "Windows/Comm manager" or something more
direct?
EDIT:
No problem I found solution

so has a way been found to change the programs launched by things such as the music button or IM or CV?
would be nice to have added availability as landscape TF3D suckzorz
This functionality is enabled by the keypad.dll in my ROM, also I replied to a post on this forum with the relevant shortcuts you need to modify in the stock Fuze driver.
im not using a stock fuze im on provens rom so what must i do with that keypad.dll?
Well, you'd need to know if it's been modified or not. If not you use the shortcuts I posted in this forum a few days ago.. search for all posts with "AT&T Music", that should bring it up..
thanks alot
and for others here is Da Gs post that showed me what to do

Had to bust out the good ol' hex editor to refresh myself on this since it's been a while since I modded the keypad.dll, but here are the stock shortcuts it looks for:
\Windows\Start Menu\Calendar.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Instant Messaging.lnk
\Windows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\MEdia Net Home.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Cellular Video.lnk
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\AT&T Music <--- note this one will open up the folder, not execute a .lnk
\Windows\Short_PTT.lnk \Windows\Long_PTT.lnk
\Windows\Short_Powerlnk \Windows\Long_Power.lnk
\Windows\Short_Explore.lnk
\Windows\Short_OperaL.lnk
\Windows\Short_Messaging.lnk
\Windows\Short_SMS.lnk
There's also \Windows\Long_Send.lnk, but that's reconfigurable through the button settings app, so probably don't need that one.
Hope this helps! The keypad.dll in my ROM remaps all the .lnk's that aren't in \Windows to be in \Windows, to avoid the need to stick stuff in the start menu where you might not want it.

oops, sorry..i gave u wrong thread T_T
check it here or here
Humm... Maybe I havent been clear!
I dont want to change Manila softkeys. I want them to disappear (only in Home Tab), in order to use the WM defaults!
And why is that? Because WM softkeys change when a System Notification arrives (i.e., the softkey displays Notification until I press it), and Manila softkeys are always static. If I point them to Calendar.exe, it will always display Calendar, even if I receive a sms, call, etc.
Edit: I have already tried to leave those reg values blank, but it doesnt work!
You know how to remove softkeys?
Reset Touch FLO 3D Soft Keys for Notifications, Alarms, & Reminders
I am so glad to see this thread, as I have searched thoroughly trying to find an answer to this issue.
How can I Reset the TouchFLO 3D LSK (Left Soft Key) to be soft (dynamic) not static. For example, HTC Touch FLO forces the LSK to statically display "Phone" -- instead of the normal Win Mobile: "Notification" or "Reminder" or "Alarm".
I am skinning my Taskbar with WisBar, and as such do not get the little 'alarm' icon -- but even if I weren't using WisBar, I don't want to rely upon that tiny little icon for my notifications.
I had even considered assigning the LSK to bring up HTC TouchFlo 3D's 'System Status Screen' -- which would at least help, but I haven't been able to figure out how to map the LSK to the SSS.
Does anybody know how to do this? Change Manilla's LSK to System Notification?
I did get it working, sort of. Please see this thread:

Your question should really be in the Topaz general section. If it was you would have seen a link to this ......

Thanks for your reply, that software is very useful, but it's not exactly what I'm looking for... I need to divide shortcuts in menu you can see in screenshot...

Since this is the start menu of TouchFLO you can not devide it into folders.
You need to use the default windows mobile programs for that.
You can easily move files into folders using a file explorer:
Directory: /Windows/Startmenu
I know it is a simple registry key to disable the touchflo start menu, but I don't know which, but you should be able to find it using the search button.
One solution is to totally disable TouchFLO, but I guess you would like to keep that.

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!

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?

Hey!
I really need help.. I've done a hardreset on my hd2 without taking backup, and now I've lost a genius program.. Can't rembember the name
It's used to assign softbuttons from the today screen to programs.. Ex alarm button to launch G-alarm. Could also launch f.ex Resco Contact Manager instead of the original with clicking "all contacts"..
On the startmenu I had 2 icons. Something like SSOH Attach and SSOH Detach.
SOLVED: It was SSMaHo i was looking for
It can also be done from the menu in bsb tweakes
