First off I want to thank everyone here at XDA for all the hard work and effort you put into tweaking these great devices.
Now, on to my question, I've searched here and the diamond forum and I can't find any mention of a way to change the shortcut buttons on the landscape TF3D screen. I would really like to be able to customize that screen with shortcuts to applications I actually use. There must be a way to do this, has anyone got an idea?
First post , please go easy on my noobness.

Thanks Ouza but I saw that post and it's not what I'm looking for. This only deals with changing the two softkeys at the bottom of the landscape screen (which is nice in itself).
I'm wanting to change the 6 big shortcut ''buttons'' above that.
Basically I'd like to make the landscape screen the same idea as the programs tab in TF3D or something like it.
Any ideas... anyone??
I would seriously like to change the big shortcuts as well.I have a dock in my car using the video out. Video out forces Landscape mode. When I hop in my car, I dont want to take notes or check tasks, I want GPS, internet radio, Live Search...
I will dig deep into the registry and let you know what I find.
I want the same thing !!
Video out in the car, so I want to be able to start my Navigation from the landscape-menu.

Change Landscape Menu
For the TV out menu that pops on screen after you plug in the video out cable, you can change the shortcuts in the registry.
HKLM\Software\HTC\TVOutPopUp\
There are four links in there, you can change them to any app installed on your phone. Only problem im having is changing the icons.
I have to bump this thread. There must be a customizer out there for the lanscape shortcuts! I just may go back to HTC Home if there is no way to put shortcuts in landscape!
I doubt this is exactly what you're looking for, but herg62123 is working on adding landscape tf3d to his project. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=447056
Not quite,
I have my TP docked in landscape in the car and I would like to open apps like NAV, or Picture Dial, or Kinoma Play in landscape.

I don't think there is going to be any easy way to customize those shortcuts. I'm pretty sure the landscape shortcuts are hard-coded in one of the binary manila files.
That sucks!
Well I guess HTC Home will do for now.
You could change the softkeys to point to two of the apps you want to run. Not the perfect solution but it's better than nothing...
I guess....
Maybe I can use 2nd today and set a button to it with AEbutton and have HTC HOME for landscape and TF3D for portrait.
Thoughts?

Sounds like a good solution. I haven't used either product but from what I've read on here that should work. good luck!
Glad to see this topic getting some attention finally
For anyone interested, try out this theme with a slimmed down version of tf3d in landscape. It may suit what you're wanting more.

Frankly, though, I didn't like it, and preferred to go back to my old theme. My main goal was having a landscape screen with a handful of a few apps I'm most likely to use, but in this theme you still have to scroll through your entire list of apps installed so, it really wasn't any kind of shortcut.
I'll keep sorting through all the manila files for a solution. Anyone with any reference docs or anything on creating themes or customizing tf3d would help as I've never dealt with it until now.

I've been searching around and noticed that indeed themes do change the "landschape shortcuts" but there doesn't seem to be a "general" program that's able to change them. I'm a little confused, because some reactions state it isn't possible to change these "shortcuts", saying they are hardcoded. Does this mean they're rooted so deep in the code that it's very hard to change them? Anyway I keep following this thread and hopefully some come up with a solution... Keep it up!
*Wish I could help*
Please forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere...
I'm using MS 3.0 on my kaiser and I have no use for the professional layout screen. When I slide my finger up or down on the screen, instead of switching to professional layout I would like it to go to the launcher. Does anyone ohave suggestions on how to do this?
Thanks.
Part solution
I have this setup on my phone right now. tried it on the titan and vogue. check it out

thanks for the quick reply, but i'm not sure if that will give me exactly what i'm looking for.
I guess I could have put it this way...
is there a way to change the sweeping gestures in SPB MS 3? I would like to change a vertical sweep on lifestlye so that it opens the launcher instead of the Pro screen.
Is there any way of only having 1 dock on the homescreen. Everytime I scroll screens the dock is taken across to each screen. I just want 1 dock on the home screen and that's it. Any possibility?
YES
Go to Preferences>Dock Settings>Number of Docs and select one
I hope help you!!
It's already set to that. Still stretches across my three screens.
I don't think any launcher has just the dock on one of the homescreens... may be wrong though!
dxtop I believe has different docs but just one that launches/has apps on it. the rest are for viewing all apps and a task killer.
Someone else replied to this thread on another site and said launcher pro doesn't have that option.

Hi All, I'm working on a project to set up tablets for educational use. I'm trying to lock down the tablets as much as possible, so users will have access to the things they need, but can't change too much. I've been trying to use Nova Launcher, which has certain features that I need (and haven't found in other launchers eg auto-add apps).
Here's the issue: Even when the desktop is locked, the tablet user is still able to long press anywhere on the tablet and they'll get a message 'do you want to unlock? hold this lock icon to unlock the desktop'
I'm looking for a way to mod the launcher so it doesn't have this feature.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to do this? I've looked at tutorials on modding apks and have started the process to unpack etc, but don't really know where to go from there within the apk file.
Thanks!
