How can I change the program that shows on the right softkey from contacts to "Myapp"
Cheers
SteveW
Dont think that this is possible?
Why do you not create a "shortcut key" to start myapp?
Follow directions in this thread @ PPCSG
possible

Does it not work OR just that you *think* it will not work?

I know it will not work because they have different registry keys. PocketPCs use TODAY and Smartphones use HOME registry location. Here is the tweak again for people who don't want to read the PPCSG thread.
--
Using a registry editor:
Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Home
Create New Key: Keys
Create New Key: 113
Edit:Name: (Default) String: Name of Softkey
Create New String Value: Name: Open String: \Application Path\Application.lnk or exe
Soft-reset your device
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
--
After you soft-reset you will notice that the right softkey's label still hasn't changed [but it will launch your app or link] you need to refresh it. The easiest way is to trigger an app to change it, what I do is go into Messaging choose any message and mark it as unread, this makes the OS change the right softkey when you return Home just press the right softkey again and the next time you go back to Home the label will change.
I'll not abuse my Smartphone this way
BTW: I recommend PHM RegEdit with is available for Pocket PC and Smartphone. I still don't know why changing Contacts to myapp makes sense. To you use another contacts app?
Good luck!
I don't use another PIM for contacts, but I do use Papyrus to take care of my Calendar/Tasks. I have the right soft key mapped to Papyrus to easily access my Calendar/Tasks from the homescreen.
I wouldn't call this abuse though as some OEMs change the right soft key to their liking... when I had an MPx220 the right softkey was mapped to the camera which was odd since it had a standalone camera button, so I found this hack and changed it.
Is there any app or way to change the soft keys for each touchflo 3d tab? Like under the people tab thare is the "all people" on the left and the "menu" on the right. I would like to change the all people from going to contacts to going to pocketcm. Is there any way of going about this? Changing some other soft keys would be nice as well.
Use SoftKey manager
Thanks, already tried that one, only lets you change the right and left soft keys on the home tflo3d tab. I want to change the soft keys on any of the other tflo3d tabs like people, or messages, and programs. Any one else with any ideas?
Did you mean TAB-s?

No they used the word "each" before the word tab so they phrased the question correctly. "each tabs" or "each tab?"
But yeah, I am looking for the same thing. I will post it here if I find it. If not... Off to the reg we go!
It has to be doable because people mod the reply button all the time. If you can mod that then you shoudl be able to mod anything, right? Possibly a hex editor for exe files? I hope so bad its not hard coded but you never know.....
soft buttons on tf3d home
I'm also looking for something like this. With touchflo3d turn off, the home screen left soft button will be "calendar" by default, but when you have a reminder/notification, it switches to "notification" "reminder", etc.
when touchflo3d is enabled on the home screen, this button becomes controled by tf3d, and while you can customize the button, it no longer becomes context sensitive - I find we have to hit the icons at the top bar (live msg, reminder, etc). these little icons are a bit hard to hit. ANyone know if the tf3d homepage soft button can become a 'notification' popup activation button?
dwight.
I think that the stock rom actually has this...so I know that it's possible. That also bothers me.

Does this let me set one of my softkeys on my home screen to "notification"
Just a quick update
I switched to a new rom last night from 'aruppenthal', 'RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467592), and it seems that this has a different behavior from my previous rom "PROven_ROM_WWE".
in any case, my tf3d home page now has "calender" and "contacts" as the lower soft buttons, and my reminders are coming up and seem to be changing the lowerleft softkey to "dismiss". I've yet to see "notification", but i'll keep an eye on it for a few days and let you guys know about the behavior.
one thing I left enabled this time, was the "system status" window when you hit the topbar icons - this has a shortcut to a mail icon when there's a notification for that, and when hitting it, it shows the respective notification popup at the lower part of the window. That might be a 'workaround' for those who preferred the old notifications but want to keep tf3d.
dwight.

This doesn't solve this question - this solution is already mentioned. Please read the previous posts before posting.
Any solutions to this questions yet? Been searching both the forum and google without any luck....
Well, the solution is actually SSMaHo! Just do a search for it. Works like a charm and lets you remap pretty much anything
I also have same issue with X1.
Att the Settings Tab, I really want to change left soft-ket to launch the System Setting but default is CommManager.
I already searched the forum and google with no luck. So I tried to looking into source code and just found something.
It is correct or not, however "settings.mode9" file have embedded LUA codes and these codes contains some soft-key assignment codes.
BTW, codes have not only one assignment code, it contains several assignments and TF3D can apply each soft-key by situation(or any registry? macro? configuration?) I think.
ok, so i want to remap the default today screen contacts softkey to bring up the touchflo 3d 2 contacts but cant find how to link to it. any takers?

this totally solves the problem in manila, touchflo3d 3.0
none of the other solution worked for me
you need manila editing
Hi guys, i was pm Captain_Throwback about this and here his answer.
You can only remap the soft keys in the Manila Home tab. Changing the others requires Manila editing, and may not even be possible. Here are the registry keys for the Manila Home tab soft keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila]
"HomeLSKText"=""
"HomeLSKPath"=""
"HomeLSKArguments"=""
"HomeRSKText"=""
"HomeRSKPath"=""
"HomeRSKArguments"=""
Only the "Text" and "Path" keys need to be used - the "Arguments" key can be left blank.

So you'll need a manila editing. for more information do a search or contact him directly by pm. he is a very nice and very patient person that i know so far

I have TP Win 6.1 so :
I asking him because i want right direction and...

I made an application on VB.net that can assign Home Softkeys to any program in Start Menu, also you can assign it to any other touchflo's tab...
This application is tested on Raphael device with Touchflo 3D 2.0
thanks....
cool.... this worked very easily.... I don't want to install another Cab file just to change the button name.....
thanks again.

Thanks Geolab!
Works perfect! I'm using gangsters 6.5 windows mobile rom, desperately trying find a solution and no one elses worked! Can't believe your post has been sat here all this time, the amount of people that should know about it is ridiculous!!! Made changing the soft key assignments in touchflow 2 (3d) real easy.
So glad to have the 'phone' LSK to TomTom and the 'camera' RSK to PSShutXP!
Very greatful!
StartButton.
25 February 2009 v. 0.1 - First release
5 March 2009 v. 0.2 - changes:
+ option to intercept the tap on the text on the right of the start button, usually "Start"
I don't think it is a good idea, but since someone requested it...
+ option to specify the full path to the launched program, works for programs on memory card
28 March 2009 v. 0.3 - changes:
+ option to hook the hardware Window Buttons for devices that have it
Developed with iLaunch (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=486618) in mind, it's a very simple application: you can specify a program, and it will be run when you "tap" on the start icon.
It's main purpose is to replace the Start Menu with another "launcher" application, allowing to access anyway to the Windows Start Menu by tapping on the right of the Start Button.
Someone requested to extend the hook to the "hardware Start Button", but afaik there is not such a standard hardware button, at least on WM5 and WM6.
Some devices have an hardware button for the Start Menu, some don't, some don't have hardware buttons at all.
There are other applications that can manage hardware buttons, StartButton is for the icon!
It's based on the code of GreenButton by Supbro (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462963)
Both are open source GNU GPL V3
StartButton source is at Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/startbutton/
How to start a program?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\Run
the default value is: "iLaunch\iLaunch.exe" (without the ")
You can specify here a relative path to your program files folder: in an english wm program files folder is, well, "Program Files", and usually applications are located inside it.
so if you want to use say "MyApplication.exe" wich is inside the "MyApplicationFolder" wich is inside the "Program Files" folder:
the full path is:
\Program Files\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
and then you need to write:
MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
if you want to start an application that is not on the Program Files folder, you can write the full path instead:
\Memory Card\Program FIles\MyApplicationFolder\MyApplication.exe
How to extend the hook to the "Start" text?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\HookText
Set this value to 1 for hooking the word "Start"
Delete the key for hooking only the Start button
You have to soft reset your device for the changes to have effect
How to extend the hook to the hardware button?
HKCU\software\iApps\StartButton\HookWinKey
Set this value to 1 for hooking the hardware button
Delete the key for hooking only the screen Start button
You have to soft reset your device for the changes to have effect
thanks a TON for this man, it was exactly what I needed!
thanks again
btw, how much RAM does it consume?

It doesn't work on my Glofiish X600. When is enabled the start menu icon doesn't respond no matter what application I define in registry. When I disable it start menu returns to normal.

You have to soft reset the device when you change the registry value.
And could you post the path you entered in the registry?
Hmm, maybe someone could use this hack to make a WM 6.5 style launcher...
Just out of curiosity, is there any reason you elected to make this an application instead of a service? I'm not being critical I was just curious because I'm in the early stages of developing a GUI-less application as well and I'm trying to decide which is the best way to implement (service vs application).
Great work!

The real reason is that GreenButton is an application, and StartButton is based on GreenButton source code...
But probably changing to a service is a good idea

Update(01/03/09): Implemented display scaling so more apps work. New version based on android 1.1 with working Gmail, Calendar and Market.
bug with new version for Vogue
When screen shut off with End Call Button Screen placement is random
Is this just for a hardware button or can it replace a screen tap as well? I ask only because I have no hardware start button on my device.

It's not for the hardware button, it intercepts the click (or "tap") on the Start Menu icon.
can you make it fully replace startmenu? not just icon press?...if so please do another version

If you download the Reset app, you can map it to a hard key (like holding Phone) by going to Settings>Personal>Buttons.
There are also some apps (the names escape me ATM) that allow for more complex hard key mappings. You should be able to search and/or someone else can chime in with some names.
never herad of a soft reset cab, gonna try this out tho

How did you solve it???
I have the exact problem and can't find the place to delete quicklinks.
[also, I'm trying to remove stuff like Facebook, Stocks and Twitter from the taskbar].
If its a free link then follows the steps above......
if its in the grid then open the cht menu and select edit quicklinks...
By taskbar Im assuming you mean the slider....??
Go to your settings tab, select "personalise" then "home screen tabs"
Hi,
Sorry to bring this old thread up again.
Recenlty having problem on removing quicklink icon (on Energy ROM). Can't figure out how to delete one of the icon (shortcut) on quicklink page.
Just as schp98ls1b4c mentioned:
"if i click cht editor i get this Quick Links,Free Links,Pages and levels,softkeys,lockscreen,widget settings,applications,miscellaneous".
I can't find the menu as "CHTeditor, edit home screen, tap and hold on the quicklink...".
And also if I click on the Menu button at Home, it came out with menu of Set Wallpaper, CHTEditor, Edit Quick Links, Edit Home Layout, Weather demo.
If I select "Edit Quick Links", I can only move the icon around, but no way to delete it.
If I select Edit Home Layout -> Level 2 - Quick Links, I can only change the layout of the quicklink. If I tap and hold, a menu pop-up with Remove & other option. If I choose Remove here, it will actually remove the whole Quicklink Widget but not one of the icon there.
Anyone can help?
Found the solution already.
Actually is using Menu button at Home -> Edit Quick Links, then just tap the quicklink item once. The tapped item will be marked to be deleted after this. Previously keep using tap and hold, no wonder can't get the delete function.
