This is a quick modification of the eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt to enable long press to get FN+Key.
This file has only been tested on a Ozone.
Install Instructions:
Unzip the attached file.
Backup your original file \windows\eT9.Cedar.wwe.kmap.txt
I included original this in the zip
Replace modified kmap file with the one in windows\
I used Mobile Explorer in My MobileR 1.23 to replace file. I'm sure there are other ways that are probably easier (Total Commander), but this worked for me.
reboot phone.

FN key not working...
I have 3vo cooked rom from ookba, and my FN key doesnt work in the screen for typing in my peap user name and password. I replaced my keymap with this one, but it still doesnt work. Any advice?

The key map was not meant to be a solution for the bug in the rom but it does help overcome some of the function key issues like in the URL address bar and other locations, but does not correct them all. For example, I still have an issue with passwords in Opera that require function keys.
You could try use My Mobiler to enter in your username/password. You could also try a hard reset after flashing the rom.
I have no doubt that ookba will find a solution for us. We just have to be patient...
With that said, I find this key map change very useful with everyday typing.

I replaced the keymap with yours using resco explorer and saw no change whatsoever. I even opened up mobile explorer to make sure that it did in fact overwrite the file and saw your header at the top so I know it did. Do you have to enable any xt9 settings or anything? When i hold down the key i want to get the fn+key press for, it just repeats it like normal.

Did you soft reset the phone after you replaced the keymap? Try it in Internet Explorer. Some apps like Skyfire and Opera mini don't seem to like the key modification especially if you are using ookba rom.

In that case guess it's useless to me anyways as I am looking to get a temporary fix for skyfire while under ookba's. :/

Hi ppl. I want to get rid of all TF functionalities from TP,that means TodayPlugin,Scrolling,etc...which is a part of that rubbish. Could anyone point me,how to do that? I think that Hardreset without installation of that cab can be the way,but I don't know,where to find all other cabs shipped(as ExtROM). Next thing...if someone wants to make a test after hardreset to interrupt the cabs installation procedure to disable that,I want to know,if the home/back keys will lost also their default functions without installation...someone to try it(I don't want to hardreset just for test)? If these things will be successfully for me,I will do that. Thanks.
I think it's start menu, settings, then something to get to a menu where there's a check box next to TF3D, and uncheck it.
Thanks for your tip,but I am afraid,you misunderstood my question. I want to disable EVERYTHING,that is 'extended' by the TF,not only Homescreen. Especially touch scrolling(HTC's solution is very lazy,I want to use SPB PocketPlus) and home/back keys functions(I want to handle them with AEBPlus). Simply I want to have a kind of lite ROM without any TF functionalities.
goto Window\StartUp\ and remove the .exe for touchflo
n copy it to some other folder. finally softreset...
I have deleted all of them,those were there as default(AutoShortcut.lnk,HTCStartUp.lnk,PKG.lnk,poutlook.lnk and Services.lnk),but it doesn't help absolutely. I have in startup some shortcuts,but they are known things(Chronos,AEBPlus,GPRS Monitor,auto-SIP script). No TF shortcut is presented,even I see all files in system including hidden/system.

You should be able to disable touchflo scrolling using Schap's Advanced Config. I don't have a TP, but i know the settings are in Advanced Config. You might try there.
Did it already,no success...

A couple questions:
1) Are you using the most updated version...3.2 i believe?
2) Did you soft reset immediately after making the changes?
3) What features are still remaining, that you're trying to get rid of and which ones have you managed to remove?

1...I have installed previous version,will try the new one tomorrow
2...yes
3...as I wrote before...I want to disable finger scrolling and unbind the home/back keys from their default functions(I think/hope,they are related to TF)

I don't think the home/back keys are tied to touchflo, but you might be able to remap them using the key mapping in advanced config. I obviously don't know since i have a touch pro, but i know that some keys can be remapped using that program. Also i know that some of the updates in Advanced Config are related to changes that weren't sticking on the TP, so hopefully that's yoru problem.
Just to share: I tried all the above methods to disable Touchflo (finger scrolling) and it didn't work for me.
- unchecked scrolling in Settings -> Touchflo
- disabled touchflo scrolling using HTC Advanced Config
I got it working by doing the following:
Create a zero byte file and copy/overwrite the following files:
\Windows\Biotouch.exe
\Windows\Biotouch.dll
\Windows\StartUPBiotouch.exe
Now I am get my scribble pad (RemindMe / PhatPad) to work properly without the lag
Good luck!

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?

I have solved it and changed the key. Thank you all for the help!
what browser would you say is the best for non touchscreen devices?
My favorite was Iris browser, sadly they stopped supporting it. Many people like skyfire, however it always hangs at "connecting" for me. Finally opera mini 5 looks great however it isn't native so I always have to lauch it through java and accept that the data connection may cost... and it doesn't like the keyboard on my htc rose.
any suggestions?

Opera Mini 5 beta is by far the finest, all ur issues can be resolved, for instant launching and a signed one so it doesnt ask u everytime u launch for connection, download and install the .jad from Opera Mini 5 Beta (Signed).zip one from stylez >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4567823&postcount=43
Also the zip have the shortcut and icon dll to launch it, place the shortcut in \Windows\Start Menu and the dll in \Windows.
before installing this remove the other Opera 5 installs and any other .jad or .jar of opera on ur device.
for keyboard issue, disable Inline Editing in Settings > Advanced, this is made for keypad phones.
And for a super browsing experience, turn on Fullscreen mode.
how do i place the dll in the windows folder, the file explorer doesn't "see" the file...
edit: i installed totalcommander which solved the problem!
edit2: thanks for all your advice!! and wow that icon looks ugly... is there no other icon around or how can i convert a picture to a .dll file?
I would agree- Opera Mini is one polished browser.

Haha it is quite ugly, the attached dll has a much cleaner icon, based on WM 6.5 icons in ookbas ROM. just replace the file.
great thanks!!
I'd like to have 2 more things fixed:
1. the clock is wrong, how do I set it right?
2. when I press the hang up button to exit the browser, the next time I want to use it, I need to press "continue" to keep using the java program. Is there any way to avoid this "continue" dialog?
Based fully on ammars 12 button action screen for HD. When I installed the ammars version, I found out, that bluetooth toggle was not working and also no button was assigned after install. So I changed the "ToggleBTh.exe" inside the cab for a different version working with LEO and I also assigned the left soft key as the action button. Finally I changed the text in the picture of psshutXP to reflect the device it's used on.
As you can see, I haven't done anything big, just slight modifications, so all the credit still goes to ammar for his HD version and to metkosas as the first creator. Anyway I like this piece of soft and I thought I'd share enjoy
Original ammars post can be found HERE.
If you want to alter the function of any button, check out THIS post which contains a very good how-to.
[Update 22/11/2009]
- v 1.2
- changed cab registry modifications - now working for non-english OS
[Update 21/11/2009]
- v 1.1
- implemented suggestion from post 6 - HTC Contact Editor instead of the old MS one
[Update 20/11/2009]
- replaced "ToggleBTh.exe" used by ammar with a version compatible with LEO
- slight change in graphics od psshutXP (text mostly)
- action assigned to the left soft key
- removed the "today icon" option, as it has no use in manilla
I have uploaded two versions. The first one links the button "gps" to googlemaps. The second one is for those of you, that use iGO8.
Warning: iGO8.exe has to be installed in "\program files\iGO8\iGO8.exe"
Install HD2 12 Button Action Screen to the device not SD!
Very nice, good work!
One question: I've been looking for a simple bluetooth toggle app that works on the Leo, seems you found one, could you post that seperately?
Here you go

Dude, awesome, thanx!
I think smaberg is also working on his 12 button action screen for HD2 ^^
But nice to see this also.
Thanks!
So much more useful than a stupid phone soft key that duplicates the function of the hardware button 1cm below it.
Dupe post
If you are a passing mod, please delete this...
Detxtrosan. Thanks for updating it to work for Leo.
Can I offeer a suggestion to all users and also you to update the cab file so that the New Contact link on the Action Screen takes you to the better looking HTC Contact Editor as opposed to the Microsoft old Contact Editor. Here is the reg tweak...
HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_6
Change path to: \windows\ContactEditor.exe
Also delete text in Param field.
Thanks!
Good idea, I'll do that, thanks for the suggestion.
GPS and Shutdown is not working for me, just takes me back to homescreen.
What version did you download? As for the GPS problem, the answer could be that you downloaded an iGo8 version and you don't have iGo8 installed/installed in the right directory. As for shutdown, I'll have to look into it according to the version you downloaded.
Very good!
Would it be possible for you to include a Tomtom version?
For those, who have installed IGO in their Storage Card (or somewhere else than Program Files\IGO) ...
Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_10
Change Path to the path of your IGO8.exe
SOFT RESET
And now you`re ready to go !
P.S. Thanks for the wonderful application !!!!
I downloaded "HD2_12_button_HD_action_screen_v1.1.cab" so no iGo8 version. When i press GPS or Shutdown i get the loading circles and then back to homescreen, no error or anything.
Do you have a branded version of HD2? Could you check if you have the directory psShutXP after the cab install? The action screen points to the file: \Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Also can you check if you have the googlemaps installed in the \program files\GoogleMaps directory? The action screen points to the file:\program files\GoogleMaps\GoogleMaps.exe

Here the same. I think it has something to do with language. My dir for shutdown isn't Program Files\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe but Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Changed: HKLM\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\App_11
Change path in to my language: Programmabestanden\psShutXP\psShutXP_nosc.exe
Same for GPS/Googlemaps App_10
OK. Thanks for your info mlkenschede. I found out, that the cab registry modifications were hard coded. I changed them to reflect system folders but unfortunately I have an english device so I need you guys to check this out for me. If it works for you I'll update the first post with this version.

MMS tab just open up SMS?! hmm...
I checked it on the dutch version and indeed, shotdown is working correctly.

The thing is that there is no difference in the SMS/MMS dialogue in manilla 2.5. MMS is sent when you add an attachment. Maybe we could come up with a different action assigned to the MMS button instead on the LEO.

Anyone know how to change the default browser from IE to Opera when you press the FN+BROWSER shorcut combo on the keyboard?
I installed Opera 10 Final to storage card and set it as default browser when asked, but the keyboard shortcut still opens IE.
I assume it's a registry entry that is controlling this behaviour. Can anyone point me to the right location please.
I'm running NFSFAN 1.05 ROM.
Someone recommended that I put a certain short cut in the windows dir.
I created a shortcut to opera, and then renamed it to Short_OperaL.lnk and placed it in the windows dir, rebooted the phone but they keyboard shortcut still brings up Internet Explorer.
Anyone have an idea?
Thank you!
I use this. Remapped a ton of keys using it.
Why did you not use the keyboard patch of you Fuze?
