Hi jaygriggs,
Just install the new Kaiser_htc.home.v2.0.814.722.cab (Item 9 @ post 2)file from over here.
solution
heres how u do it. if u have the htc rom and want the 2 missing items on the plugin using ur registry editor goto HKLM \Software\HTC\HTC Plugin Go to folder 3 and copy(remove*.* and put 4) then do it again this time putting a 5. goto folder 4, go into iconindex and change your decimal value to :130. go into LaunchApParam and change it to:MESSAGING_SMS_NEW go into LaunchApPath and change it to :\windows\LaunchMsItem.exe. change your Res Path to the same as your LaunchApPath Then go into folder 5 and change the Icon index decimal value to :129 go into LaunchApParam and change it to :CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS go into LaunchApPath and change it to\windows\LaunchMsItem.exe goto Res Path and change it to the same as the LaunchApPath. Do a soft reset and boom the messaging and phone icons are there. they're re configured the same as they are on the tilt. me and my boy with the tilt are gonna mess with this registry a lil and see if we can't add a for more things.

this isn't the same plugin that jay is referring to.
jay, unfortunately i don't know of any cabs to accommodate what you're looking for but from what i can see on my tilt are these registy values
Folder name = 4
keys:
iconindex (decimal) = 130
LaunchApParam (string) = MESSAGING_SMS_NEW
LaunchApPath (string) = \windows\LaunchMsItem.exe
ResPath (string) = \windows\LaunchMsItem.exe
Folder name = 5
keys:
iconindex (decimal) = 129
LaunchApParam (string) = CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS
LaunchApPath (string) = \windows\LaunchMsItem.exe
ResPath (string) = \windows\LaunchMsItem.exe
My suggestion is to add these values yourself.
icons
thanks fb401 we probally posted at the same time. if you add these folders the icons appear. also you can up to 3 more icons and have then fit and function. easy to copy folder 5 and make 6,7,8. if you don't change the icon decimal value you'll have four functioning phone icons that take u to call history. ill have a list tomorrow nite of what I come up with. icons and functions. but for now a icon index decimal value of 105 sometimes shows a clock face but sometimes doesn't... I don't get it just yet
HA, yea we definitely did post at the same time. Let me know what othe icons you figure out. It can definitely be useful.
icons
icon index =105 clock (sometimes appears) =107 wifi appears if you put the comm setings on it =101 notes These icons sometimes appear and sometimes don't im working on it. LaunchApParam CALLHISTORY_ALL_CALLS can be changed to CALLHISTORY_MISSED im working on other parameters I've also managed to launch fileexplorer and camera off these icons. im just trying to find icons then ill post

Any way to launch a new e-mail message (instead of a new SMS)?
yes theres got to be a way to do it . Im working on doing my gmail
duh
read this thread twice and didn't see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898&page=7&highlight=tweak thanks to sas90850 post #69 now maybe we can create a list
heres the listed thus far tested by my phone
You can have up to 9 icons on this line
the batt and rotate icon are 2
and you can add folders 2-8
my comm manager is
LaunchApParam cpl,ain.cpl,6
LaunchAppath \windows\CommManager.exe
ResPath \windows\htcicon.dll
iconindex 107 (i like this icon better than the standard)
my ie launcher
LaunchApParam \windows\iexplore.exe
LaunchAppath and res path are the same
icon index is 0
my camera icon
LaunchApParam \windows\Camera.exe
LaunchAppath and res path are the same
icon index is 0
My file explorer icon
LaunchApParam \windows\fexplore.exe
LaunchAppath and res path are the same
icon index is 0
any program in windows can be linked to these icons for example i Have a snes emulator on my phone so I copied the file to the windows directory
LaunchApParam \windows\PocketSNES.exe
LaunchAp path and res path are the same
icon index is 0
I should be able to link it up to any program on my storage card too. ill be testing tonight
Question:
I want to take the button #4 for the new SMS message, and put it on the Launcher in the HTC Home plugin. HTC Home seems to need a .lnk file (unless someone has figured out what to do with CustomPrograms in the registry ... I searched and didn't find much). I tried to create a .lnk file with the shortcut pointing to: \Windows\LaunchMsItem.exe MESSAGING_SMS_NEW, but it doesn't seem to work.
Is there a better way ... or anyone know how to create a shortcut with a commandline param?
AWESOME!!! I hated all that wasted space. I've now added camera, notes, and calculator icons there. Great work!

LaunchApPath :\windowsLaunchMsItem.exe Res Path is the same as the LaunchApPath also if u have it pocket cm. iconindex :0 LaunchApParam :\Program Files\PocketCM\PocketCM.exe LaunchApPath and ResPath are the same. -------- everything does not have to be in the windows folder or the device my snes emulator works fine and is on my card my example is icon index :0 LaunchApPath :\Storage Card\Emulators\PocketSNES.exe the LaunchApPath and the ResPath are the same----my tomtom is on
the device and doesn't work. the camera, calculator,my snes, work flawless but the ie doesn't launch ur home page (if pie was closed) so im gonna work on that. I also get a lot of email to my gmail account so im working on launching that too. If u do launch things from the storage card it takes a second to load from a reset. also Kona_Mtbkr make sure u have the iconindex correct(or its there and u can't see it) and u do this in a folder by copying a folder and replacing *.* with a new number then go into the folder and changing the strings.
Thanks for the hints jaygriggs. However, I'm talking about how to "New SMS Message" icon to work from the HTCHome 6-tab today plugin with the digital clock (not the HTCHomePlug one-liner).
The HTCHome launcher section in the registry only has values for: DispName, IconPath, Path, and Type ... whereas the HTCHomePlug launcher has: LaunchApPath and LaunchApParam. Since it's the param that's the key to LaunchMsItem.exe ... I need to figure out how to properly specify this param for HTCHome. And since all you can specify is a Path, I figured setting up a shortcut which already has the correct param would be the best way. However, I can't even seem to be able to create a shortcut to LaunchMsItem and append a parameter like the new SMS one.
So that's really what my question is about. I'm also wondering if the HTCHome launcher CustomProgram section in the registry is formatted the same as HTCHomePlug registry entries. That section must have a purpose ... but I can't find any info about it.

How does one identify the settings for the icon? I am looking at putting the dial pad there ('phone.lnk' which really points to cprog.exe)... but I cannot find the icon - the blue phone.

you can use the phone messaging icon which is earlier in this thread, I haven't found the "Blue phone icon yet" but its there somewhere trial and error. if you put icon index 0 launchApParam and launchApPath as \Windows\cprog.exe and t
e Respath as Windows\VTKey.exe u do get a phone icon(but im not satisfied with it)

Thanks... and while I don't mind doing the 'trial and error' thing, having to do a soft reboot every time to see the effect is a bit time consuming, and frankly, a bit of a PITA.

I figured it out ... with a little more searching and some diligence. This isn't exactly what the original thread topic is about, so I'll make this short ...
You can create a LNK file to any of the shortcuts in the HTCHomePlug by creating a text file on your PC with the following format (this uses the New SMS Message button as an example):
<#chars in cmd line>#<path> <params>?<path to resource file>,<icon index>
45#"\Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe" MESSAGING_SMS_NEW?\Windows\LaunchMSItem.exe,130
Put the LNK file in the Start Menu, and it becomes available to choose from the HTCHome Launcher ... or any other app launcher for that matter!
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

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

HI allz!
First sorry for my bad english. I created cutomized Xperia Wm61 rom with Manila 2.1, but i have one big problem with the manila interface. i cant remap Home tab Callhistory link to Wm61/Xperia Call history, by default if i press the Callhistory link on home tab, i go to the Manila people/message dialog (this working 100% only with HTC dialer+HTC message utility.) but i use the xperia dialer.
After little search i get one special Call history tab (with orangecallhistory.lua - this use the orig wm61 dialer). My first idea is, replace this with the orig HTC people callhistory dialog.
But, if i put this to the manila tab control xml and replace the original HTC dialog, i can call, but the left right key dont popup (here is the filter for calls) and i cant go back to the home tab (there is no back option) right soft key is mapped to all calls, this linked with the wm61 call history/xperia call history.
This is the only one bug on my Xperia rom, please help me, remap the manila 2.1 home tab callhistory to wm61/xperia call history.
thank you
