Has anyone been successful with this? No amount of hacking is allowing me to change the soft key for the touchflo 3d home page section...
I have used Advance Config, TouchFlo Detacher and Registry editing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKText = Text on softkey
HomeLSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeRSKText = Text on softkey
HomeRSKPath = Path to program to run (or blank for default)
My result:
The text changes but the button will not launch program.
Search for a way to have it work leads me to the same result. could it be the version of manila?
my touch pro 2 is sprint version. I read one other forum where a tmobile version could not get this working either with my same result.
any info would be helpful. thanks
I used only the Advance Config
it works fine with me
Since I just cleared my storage (cause I manage to **** up the touch flo and have two settings and no calendar tab), I will try advance config first without touching the registry.
Ok I just realized Advanced Config does not remap the softkey for the TouchFLO 3D shell. It remaps the regular today screen's softkey. Unless I'm doing something wrong, here's what I did.
1. open advance config
2. press menu (right soft key)
3. clicked "more settings"
4. clicked "key mapping"
5. key mapping configuration for path and text shows up, did the changes.
of course since this only remaps the regular screen's softkey, the change does not show on the touch flo 3d home page soft key (where camera is).
I had a similar issue trying to set up TFDetacher and my Sprint TP2. I ended up hard resetting because it was jacked up. I haven't had a chance to try to fix yet.
I had the same issue, but only with the left softkey. Till now I found no solution.

Problem is that (at least on my TMO unit, but I've seen others report the same thing)
HomeLSKText - Changes Text on the left softkey
HomeRSKText - Changes Text on the right softkey
HomeLSKPath - Doesn't appear to do anything!
HomeRSKPath - Changes application launched by LEFT softkey (note - that is NOT a typo!)
i.e - it's easy to change the left softkey on the Manilla home page, but so far I've not found out how to change the right softkey - though I've seen screen caps here that show it changed, so it is clearly possible.

On the sprint version there is no fix as of yet you can change the name on the key, but the activation is still contacts, this is with reg edits and programs i have tried.
Keyswop - changes the phone or Lock softkey.... still trying to find something to change the Touchflo 3d Icons so I can attach different movie players and such to the interface though.

yes, that was my other ultimate goal was to make those other touchflo tabs into buttons rather then 'tabs', that opened programs. personally I don't want ANY tabs, and just keep the touchflo on the home page, but disabling the tabs also disable their overlay features (hence loading from quick programs doesn't load the touchflo version like calendars).
Think the answer for remapping the soft keys in Manila TF3d home are as follows (using windows calendar as an example):
Within the registry.
1) HKLM\software\HTC\Manila
Within that folder see if the following string exists and change the value - if it doesn't then create it:
Value Name "HomeLSKArguments "
Value Data "-manila off"
(without the quotes)
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKPath"
Value Data "\windows\calendar.exe"
Then next string
Value Name "HomeLSKText"
Value Data "Calendar"
(Don't enter the quotes above)
This works for me and remaps the left soft key to open the normal windows calendar program. Also works with Right Soft Key simply by changing LSK to RSK - (got my RSK taking me straight to Comm Manager)
Good luck

thanks for the input. at least now I know the arguments path is probably important. However, it still does not work. same results, text changes, but does not operate. =(
nope did not work 4 me, maybe we can have other sprint users try this out to see if they are successful.Are you sure this is step by step in how you accomplished this?
I think I may have figured it out or at least am on to something...
I remapped my LEFT softkey to open Windows Media Player.
HomeLSKArguments:
HomeLSKPath:
HomeLSKText:Media Player
HomeRSKArguments:
HomeRSKPath:\Windows\wmplayer.exe
HomeRSKText
I have a brand new Sprint TP2.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere
yeah the left key can be re-mapped, its the right key that activates contacts and has yet to be changed.

Ahh bummer. I though I figured something out.
But just to be clear:
Only Sprint customers are having problems with remapping the softkeys, and it's only the right softkey.
The Verizon Touch Pro2 doesn't have to reverse the RSK/LSK paths AND can remap the RSK.
Maybe someone should re-title this as a Sprint only problem?
I've also read some tmoble have this problem too.
just curious, what version of manila do people have? (listed in the same registry location).
mine is 2.1.38416.1 and I am with Sprint.
@ dshosu: idk about tmobile but sprint versions has this issue, verizon's dont.
@ tonefour: i have the same manila version.
Mine is exactly the same, I just got mine yesterday from Sprint (2.1.38416.1)

I accidentally deleted the registry key in 113. Can some one look on their dash and give me the info
HKEY_CURRENT_USER

113
Can you please give me the info that is there. keys and values so i can put back.
I believe there were two things here. One of them said (right menu)
I do not have any entry for 113. There is no "Keys" entry at all.
I do not have that key too.
Name - (Default)
Data Type - String
Data - (value not set)
I was afraid this would happen
Is there a home key in Microsoft? If yes what happens if you select it?
I am running wm6 on a Tmobile dash which might have something to do with it

This sounds like a touch screen phone, not an Excalibur (non-touch screen).

I have this key in a Treo 750, but not in the Dash.
may have found it
I think it had something to do with a program called Right Menu Editor. I reinstalled it and it fixed the problem. I tried the program didn't think I liked it.then I tried to remove it (Good Luck trying to remove this program) Now that I have it back on my Dash and have figured out how to use it I like it. Thanks for the help folks
How can I modify softkeys of the TouchFlo?
For modify soft keys I used SecondToday application.
you can also use advanced config program. hit menu, more settings, key mapping
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
Leftkey
HomeLSKText = Contacts
HomeLSKPath = \windows\addrbook.lnk (.LNK)
rightkey
HomeRSKText = Contacts
HomeRSKPath = \windows\addrbook.lnk (.LNK)
Hi,
Is there a way to mod the soft keys on the email messaging app...the left softkey is set to delete by default and i keeps pressing it and deleting email lol.
I had a look at the advanced config app but wasn't sure which app is the right one to try and play with as sms and email have different soft keys set.
Cheers
Andrew
Thanks for the Advanced Config Trick. I had it installed but didnt even think to use it.
Do you know if there is anyway to config the left softkey to launch the Programs section of the TF3D interface? My fingers are quite small and tough to reach the start button in the top left of the screen!
Many thanks
Andy

Guess you're looking for this:
Attached in the KEYS.zip file two files:
OKEY.EXE
SKEY.EXE
You're looking for the second one (start-key).
Copy it to your phone and map it
Don't know who created it (using this file already "3 phone-lives")

Hi, I Got my T-Mo TP2 the other day (used to have a x7501) and there is one thing that's driving me CRAZY. When TF3D is enabled how do you change the soft keys to something else and rename them? I tried using SK-tools but that didn't work either. When I go to "setting,personal, Menus, buttons" the only one listed is the "Send" button in the list. Is there a reg hack to fix this?
Also PBar will not work with TF3d?? Thanks...Tj
Install Advanced Config. Under Menu>More Settings>Key Mapping, you can change the softkeys from here
To get it, search!!
Hmm Ok I did that and it still opens the Camera on left soft key and People on the right one...I also tried this with SK Tools. For some reason after TF3D starts it goes to the default soft keys, Maybe it has something to do with it being a T-mo phone?...Tj
did you try a soft reset? It worked for me, may becuase I've got the WWE...

To Modify left/right home softkeys in Manilla (Touch Flow 3D) you can edit the Registry as follows.
DEFAULT: All Fields Blank.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
The Left key keys are as follows (I've setup to Opera):
HomeLSKText = Web
HomeLSKPath = \windows\Opera Browser.lnk
(I've left my right key default for the moment - i.e. blank which will default to camera.)
The right key registry keys are as follows:
HomeRSKText
HomeRSKPath
After you have finished do a Soft Reset - (no need for 8,000 SR )
Enjoy!
Have any Idea how to add HTC's Program List as a softkey? I don't like the launcher but I like the list. I'd rather get rid of the programs tab and just launch the programs list from the home page.

After finally managing to get rid of my horrid vodafone theme, I've noticed that the soft keys have changed from All People/Internet to Phone/Camera.
The camera one is super annoying as I'm always pressing it by accident, using the hack above I have managed to change the right key back to internet, but I'm struggling with the left key.
Can someone tell me what the HomeLSKPath needs to be to bring up 'All People'
TIA

HI,
Newbie here...just got my TP2 last week. If I want to swith the Left soft key to Contacts, what to i write n HOMELSKPATH= . Cant see to get it to work...thanks in advance..
KL
For those looking for Contacts/All People in the link.
Can't test this, as I'm using Finger-Friendly-Friends as my contact manager, but.....
To get the contacts application try the following in the path:
\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk
If you have "Contacts" in your start menu then this should work.
If you don't have "Contacts" in your start menu then:
Temperorly put it there
Copy the file (\Windows\Start Menu\Contacts.lnk) to your PC
Edit it with notepad (or similar).
Use the path that you see in this file.
You can now remove "Contacts" from your start menu again.
Hope this helps.
I hate the camera softkey being there also. I hit it by mistake all the time. I would like it to be Opera too I think and the all contacts can stay on the right.. I don't know what I am doing but I may try to edit mine. I am new to all this.. I have Total Commander is that how I get to my registry to modify it?
i too need assistance w/ remapping the camera softkey...i dont know why they would have made that a default location for a business phone...
Some problem..

Hey,
I tried at first just changing the name of the softkeys and by that it stopped function. and after locking the phone it goes back to default, and i need to switch to other screen (ie contacts/calender etc) and when i am back to home it returns to whatever i changed it to.
any idea why?
I was wondering is it would be possible to remove the "phone" and "camera" button on the bottom of the home screen on my TP2, actually replacing those would be better ?
Thanx

Have you searched?
Softkey & reassign would brought you to this link:
Edit Registry below, you can modify first page of TF3D Soft Key. I don't know about other page yet.
\HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila change value of each key (LSK for Left Soft Key, RSK for Right Soft Key)
HomeLSKArguments - Argugement of application you'll be calling
HomeLSKPath - Path to program with in "" i.e. "\Program Files\WebIS\PocketInformant\PocketInformant.exe"
HomeLSKText - text of the button.
HomeRSKArguments
HomeRSKPath
HomeRSKText
(Credits go to sudsboy)
(Crosspost with Gordon, I've searched too long )
Use Advanced Config 3.3
It has the option under Menu/More options/Key mapping
You will need .net 3.5 installed to make this work tho
Thanx Jimllfixit, it's much less complicated than starting to play in the registry.
occasionally the built in keyboard shows me a different than expected keyboard. For example, durring txt messages, it would show the phone keypad "with the 1-9, P, w keys" or it would show the internet one "with .com button". I tryed looking through the registry for it, but its a mess tryn to find the key that was changed. i have the touch input v2.0 (build 35555) on the AT&T rom.
If anyone else has had this problem and knows how to solve it, the help would be amazing.
p.s. on my previous phone, I had the VITO Zoomboard, but i like the way this new keyboard is in how it changes..but not when it changes to something that isn't appropriate for the given event
Did you install the classic word completion or word correction cab? If so,

I installed the disable xt9 file which changes registry values?
Just now I used the resco registry explorer to extract my reg files and found which keys changed:
=== normal keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000000
=== web keyboard ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
=== numeric keypad ===
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime]
"CurrentET9Style"=dword:00000006
now I gata find a program which will make an exe or lnk to change that value of the reg
I have the exact same issue. The phone seems to get stuck on the number keypad with the W and P and will not go back to the full qwerty.
Soft resets do nothing to reset keyboard. I did the following edits to get word suggestion:
Go to: HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\layouts\e001 0409
Edit: Ime File = \Windows\compime.dll
Layout Text = COMP IME
Go to: HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9
Edit: XT9SupportMSSip= 0
Otherwise I have done no registry edits except removing proxy info for Opera to get it to work on Rogers.
This is most annoying so any suggestions or help would be appreciated.
I have tried using opera page before exiting but it still comes up as a number pad.
Applies to any HTC Touch Input 2.0 keyboard

Thanks for this ... you really helped me save a lot of time!
I find that it will also flip to this input style when trying to add a contact. Once it does this I then have to go and start opera, touch the address bar and the input changes back to qwerty. Then I can exit opera. Its kind of a pain but at least I know of the work around.
thanks for the opera info - I did not install any completion cab, but this did fix my keyboard issue.
I just got this problem today. I have yet to be able to change it back.
I can tell you that this occurred in the Windows Edit Contacts menu (that is to say, go to HTC's "Edit Contacts" and select "More").
At first it gave me a simple numbers and arrow keys only keypad. I soft reset and it changed nothing. I then decided to retrace my steps to try to fix it, so I went back to the edit contacts screen and fiddled around, very shortly it switched to the keyboard as described by the OP. Numeric keys, parenthesis, a 'P' and a 'W', etc... stuff used in phone numbers, I suppose. I haven't been able to get it back to a full keyboard, yet. I've messed around with the keyboard options, switched to and back from other keyboard choices and got nothing.
Anyone else want to investigate this further with us?

Same problem for me, so I did the Opera method.
It definitely originated (for me) in "edit contacts".
I used the stock Opera (9?). I did try to just tap the google search bar with no luck.
Just click on the address bar after you start the browser and it will allow you to switch.
