i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

Here's to hoping!

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

They'd have to be just about the coolest developer to ever develop!
*hint hint* *nudge nudge*
yes. any developer who could code this what be greatly appreciated and will please a lot of people.
I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.

Just change the keyboard setting in advanced config or under HTC Custome if you have it, select Cingular for ATT & Cignular or you lang if dif. I think this is like the 100th time this has been asked. Doesn't anyone use search?
Thanks Scrambler001, i am glad someone asked it, i am a newbie i tried a search, before asking but you was kind enough to still answer that other person. I have to sneak around work to use the cpu really so i never have a chance to actually sit and read. Thanks again, fixed...
i checked in the advanced config app, the only choice for keyboard layout is "english", still the same results. I dont have any HTC Customize apps or settings on my device either.

Well then just install HTC Custome if you need to. I thought all the options were available in Schaps rom though you might need to scroll up or down to find the Cingular one if thats what your looking for. Thats what I did when I installed his ROM.

This always works for me. Hope it helps.
I"m just wondering, did no one bother to look in the Schapp's 4.0 thread. I think it was asked about four times in there

You bet I even posted the answer there a few times already but the starter of this thread probably didn't go through the whole thread or search using a good key word like "keyboard" or some such. I think the total is more than 4 though and if you count the number of times it's been asked out of the thread well I run out of fingers and toes so go figure. LOL
k i really cant bileave that i cant remember this, but how do you make it so that the phone doesnt lock on wakeup? like when you press the power button and u have to unlock. my minds been drawing a complete blank for the past week. thanks in advance
if I am not wrong, just go to: start - setting - on personal tab, click on "Lock" icon and deselect on box "prompt for unlock if the device...
can a WHOLE NEW thread be created
can a WHOLE NEW thread be created just for this one question?
i might sound offensive.. i'm sorry....
nope thats not it, thanks anywy though. Any other ideas please??
anyone at all please?
Sounds like you have a 3rd party app like A_C's S2U2 possibly? I don't remember any standard ROM doing what you're describing. Maybe a screen capture so we can see what you're seeing?
It's not highlighted for me to get into the options when I go to "Today" then "items". When I press the start menu I get the drop down instead of the touchflo one.
Unless their is another way.
I imagine there's a registry edit you could do, where? I have no idea. I haven't bought mine yet, just didn't want a thread to go unposted
Thanks for the reply man! I hope someone knows.

There aren't any settings for TFLO3D2 in there. You can however un grey the option button (it won't do anything cause there aren't any settings for it) by going to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFLO 3D (not the one in quotes)\ in the registry and setting the key options to 1 instead of 0.

Ok so I guess I need a registry editor. What is the best one to get and are they free?

I have CeRegEditor. I find it easy to use, pretty basic, and user friendly. Im sure there are better ones out there. but if you're gonna use it like i do, just for basic edits, this will suffice nicely.
http://ceregeditor.mdsoft.pl/index.php?id=3&lang=en
theres the link for it.
gonna try this RegEdit right now, and ill post back for ya. :].
It looks like it's for the PC. Is their one I can do straight from the phone?
EDIT: I got an error after it installed...
"Unhandled exception raised! Error message: Failed to set data for " " Then it would opens, should I be worried?

TFLO3D2 doesn't have any settings that are accessible there!

No problem.
There are some setting for TFLO3D2 in the registry though.
Look here:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\
And here:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\

its for your phone. Just click on the orange phone in the upper left hand corner to connect your phone to the program. and then youll be available to see all of the keys. and then you can edit the registry from there.
Hey all,
Asking for help AGAIN!!!
I installed the windows mobile 6.5 update yesterday evening.
All in all i think it's fantastic, still falls behind some OS's but its a great update.
I have a couple of questions thought, and i'm hoping that someone can help.
the first one, i hope is just me not seing something.
on the start screen (after hitting the windows key) i think the new display is great, but i can find a way to move them about and personalise it so the prograns i want are where i want them. how do i do this?
the second is a little more complicated i think. I recently bought g-alarm(which i love) but to register it, you need an owner name on the phone's system.
I cant findwhere to change the owner name on WM6.5, i can change the device name easy. but i cant find the owner name anywhere.
any enlightenment would be great.
Thanks guys
TM411
I assume you mean the honeycomb start menu. In order to change them or move them around you need to tap and hold on the icons.
To set owner name is Start/settings/personal/owner information
Press and Hold the icons to move them.
Try this CAB to enable the owner info, just install and reset.
Is there a way to add/remove Icons from the start menu?
Thanks Guys
I did try the hold and move, but the only option i get is to move to top.
is this right?
the owner information button isn't in the personal setings section.
Hmmmm
what have HTCdone?
i downloaded the official upgrade from the site, surely they didnt remove important things from it?
thanks for the cab,
i shall try it later
Saying that.....
I wouldn't mind knowing if i can delete stuff from the start screen.
Not sure i need the "Getting started"
lol

Try the CAB. The fact that it's missing is a bug . See the main "Official 6.5" thread in ROM Dev.

You can drag stuff about the start menu by pressing and holding, removing stuff and adding folders is the same a Windows PC. use File Explorer to goto \Windows\Start Menu\Programs.

No you can't. Well, at least I can't - press and hold and the only thing you can do is "Move to top".
Dave, thanks for that. I didn't realise it was quite as simple.
The icons also move about as they should with a press and hold.
Cheers

You sort of can. Here's what you need to do.
1. Go into the "\windows\start menu\programs" directory.
2. Create a folder. Cut & Paste all the shortcuts you deem unnecessary into that folder.
3. Go into the properties screen of that folder and toggle on the "Hidden" setting.
4. Soft-reset.
I've yet to find out how I can get rid of "HTC Calendar.lnk" and "HTC People.lnk". They disappear if I disable HTC Sense (ie, TF3D, Manila, etc). But they keep coming back if HTC Sense is enabled. I've tried deleting the shortcuts but they just regenerate after each soft-reset or if I disable and then re-enable HTC Sense.
If anyone has any ideas, please let me know!
You guys are awesome
The cab worked a treat.
The start menu i shall play with later.
Thank for the help

Same for me. Sometimes I get an additional choice of 'Move Down' !! What's happening? Mine is the ATT Tilt2 4 days old . . .
I am also curious how some people are able to hold and drag. It was my understanding from reading various WM6.5 reviews that it is not possible.
For the rest of us mere mortals, I recommend JWMD Icon Changer for reordering the start menu. It has worked well for me. One thing to keep in mind though: it will not reorder any icons you've marked as "Favorite" which means when you right click and select Move To Top. If you want to be able to sort them, you'll have to un-favorite them by selecting Move Down.

So after having my new Tilt 2 for a couple of days I was cleaning out my inbox and I realized that because there is no d-pad I cannot select an e-mail without opening it, unless I have the keyboard out and use the arrows
This means that if I want to delete an e-mail that is not at the top of the list I need to press once to open, once to open menu and again to delete. Does not seem right.
I think I saw something that allowed the zoom slider to be used as a dpad of sorts but I actually like it the way it is.
I feel really stupid asking this and I did search but could not easily find an asnwer.
click on the small letter, you will see the menu that will allow use to manage the mail without seeing it.
