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.

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 guess you can use ftouchflo to gesture control just about anything. You just have to associate the gesture with the app you want to start.
i don't wanna start an app (thats easy enough) i wanna "press" a soft key!
thanks for your reply !
then I dunno
but when you press a softkey you'll be starting an app right? so what's the catch?
no it would be used for menu's and the like, such as when in messaging a gesture would control the menu button.

My ideia involves mortscript and ftouchflo.
Just create a mortscript that presses the softkey and then associate it to a gesture in ftouchflo.
The mortscript command to invoke the softkey is something like: SendRightSoft.
You'll find plenty of info on there two softwares around the forum
cheers will check it out!
theres a software called FtouchSL which allows soft keys to be 'pressed' using gestures, if any one is interested that is!
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
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?

The registry setting is located;
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Here you will find LSK (Left Soft Key) and RSK (Right SK) path and text.
You would set the path to Windows\ContactAgent.exe.
You can set the text to whatever you want.
Soft reset and you're done.
Thanks.
Just before reading your answer I found a hint for a solution in an old post.
Actually I used the following expression under LSK path:
Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
and it works as well.
Thank you very much anyway!

Oh yes, you did say "Manila" contacts didn't you. My apologies.
You can also use BsB Tweaks to change it to what ever you like.

An QuickMenu alternative
An QuickMenu alternative is FDCsoft StartMenu
Pressing on the Start iCON gives a small menu / pressing right off the Start iCON gives the larger menu .

I will try and report
Howdy again,
To goto your 'settings/programs menu' with one click, browse to this link;
Create shortcuts to Feature Settings and Applications manually
and arrow-down a bit. Here you'll find what you're looking for (one click access), though this only works for english ROMs As Far As I Know..
Hope this helps for you too,
Senax
