Many thanks, it works now (off course)

I'll stop bothering you now..(untill a next nice tweak comes along )


thanks again...

[tsutton]

Awesome tip! Thanks for posting it. I always wanted to chnage the right soft button to something else!

Hello,

If i use this cab and i want to go back to normal (contacts) is this possible

Ron

[chucky.egg]

I can't be certain for pzee's CABs (I think the only difference between pzee's CABs and mine is the method used to open a new message) but in general Yes - if you remove the application it should revert back to the default function


Quick question - anyone know where speed dials are stored?

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

Speed dial info are saved in 'mxip_initdb.vol' . On the Tanager, you can view the vol file using DbView tool.

So after around 40 minutes of playing, this still refuses to work on my HTC Feeler (SP2003SE).

The best I can get is from the registry value behind the button to open tmail at the account selection screen (SMS, MMS, or outlook).

All other information after the first space (any of the command line options, in other words) are either ignored or throw an error ("... can't find component...") depending on what I do with double quotes.

I can use the button to successfully call a shortcut like others in this thread have, but curiously, this not only opens the "Compose Message" screen for SMS but ALSO still opens the "contacts" screen (double banger!)

I'll play some more when I have some free time, but if anyone has any ideas on what else to try, I'll try 'em.

In the thread regarding how to do this in the Smartphone Customization's original thread about customizing the 'contact' key, pzee posted:

KeyCode 	 Keypad Key
13  Action
37  Left
38  Up
39  Right
40  down
48 - 57  0 to 9
114  Talk (Green button)
115  End (Red Button)
91  Home
27  Back
121  Record
128  Flip
129  Power
117  Vol Up
119  Star
120  Pound/Sharp
118  Vol Down
112  Menu 1
113  Menu 2  <---- RIGHT SOFT KEY  aka "Contacts"

The xBar Manual gives a similar list.  However, where are these lists originally from?

And aren't there more 'keys' than this those listed?  How do we assign long-presses, and other unusuals?  In my ROM (AT&T Audiovox SMT5600), holding down the Home key shortcuts to my favourite list, which I would love to change.  I assume it can be done, since xBar somehow manages to assign itself the long-press of the action key.

Let's expand this tweak to cover a bit more than just the right softkey, eh?  Perhaps we can even assign other tricks, using more than just '(Default)' and 'Open'.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

What is the key assigned to the button on the right which by default activates the camera?
I can't quite understand it from the list above.

I want to change that function, as it is really annoying when it activates by itself and then your battery is gone after not long.

Thanks

Is there anyway to get an icon on the button, like the Windows logo on the start button?

[crazzel]

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\Open to "\Storage\windows\Start Menu\Call History.lnk"

Thus,

Open = "\Storage\windows\Start Menu\Call History.lnk"

You can install 'AlarmSet' then copy copy the full path of its LNK as the value for 'Open'

AlarmSet utility:
http://www.modaco.co...etails&f_id=616

So for example, if 'Alarm Set.lnk' is located at \Storage\windows\Start Menu\Accessories , the value for 'Open' would be "\Storage\windows\Start Menu\Accessories\Alarm Set.lnk"

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I did a search using Resco Registry Editor.  In general, I've had the searches with PHM - which I generally prefer - crash almost immediately when using the Find function.  Maybe the result of hitting a file that isn't meant to be looked at or some such.  Any ideas for a good registry search utility, either on the Smartphone or, preferably, from the Computer?

Anyways, the first time I searched, it didn't crash my phone (the second is another story).  What I found is that under 'HKCU\Software\Binarys\SmartExplorer\OpenWith', that there were keys with the name 'App0', 'App1', App2', 'App3', and 'App4'.  The values of these corresponded with the address of the .exe's that I typically use with the 'File' -> '1 Open' -> '2 Open With' sequence in SmartExplorer.

Because the second search crashed my phone, I am not sure whether these same values occur elsewhere, but perhaps 'Menu' -> '1 File' -> '7 Open With' aspect of the normal File Manager uses something similar.  Or, probably not, as that ability searches for EVERY .exe possible.

My guess is that maybe they are local values that are used by developers to have programs respond to those keys.  For example, in xBar the TVOLUMEUP sometimes corresponds with pasting text that had previously been copied.

Some programs, then, probably make use of many of these functions, but perhaps restrict it to the number keypad out of simplicity.  Having a univeral definition.  If future phones use a different keyset - such as if Camera were instead keyed to a long press of a soft key, which many here would probably prefer - older programs would not completely stall when calling a key that their phone might now even have!

On a side note, pzee, where did you find these keys?  You said somewhere in the c500's registry, probably in a section I either forgot about or never actually looked at.  You know this phone better than I know my own body, but not all of us are quite as educated!  And you wouldn't happen to have a good registry key search, would you?

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

I was able to determine the function of some the 'App' keys by doing a SendKeyCode command in AutoSmartphone.

APP1  (193) ??
APP2  (194) ??
APP3  (195)   What I use to do most tweaking is RESCO File Explorer with built-in registry editor.

not sure if alarmset was compatible with wm2002, because it says: "Tested on SPV C500, should work on all Windows Mobile 2003 SE." and noone said something about wm2002 there..
no other possibility?

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

There is another possibility. Using AutoSmartphone script.

I'll test on my device first. You have SP2002 right? Tanager?

[gpcarreon (MVP)]

Alright. Attached is a CAB file which will automate opening of Programs > Settings > Date and Time.

If you have exactly the same menu as the attached photo, then the script should work (Date and Time should be at page 1 of Settings window, number 8 )

I tried this on my Tanager (SP2002) and it worked.
1. Install the CAB
2. Do some registry editing.

What you will edit is:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Home\Keys\113\Open

'Open' should have a Value = "\IPSM\Windows\Start Menu\Set Alarm Time.lnk"

3. Test the tweak. Script should execute on second attempt.

It should take you to this spot:
