Re: [July 18th, 2009] MightyROM6 -- www.MightyROM.com

I made an improvement to the usability of my TF3D. Some people will have been aware of this but others will not.

Here is what I did:

On my home screen of TF3D now, I have replaced the left and right soft buttons. Previously, on the left was Phone and on the right was SMS. Phone is redundant as I always hit the talk button to bring up the dailer. I don't personally text much so I don't mind navigating through the TF3D tabs to get to SMS. Plus I've been complaining recently that BT takes too long to turn on and off. So to make the phone more useful for me, I have replaced "Phone" with "Bluetooth" and "SMS" with "Camera." It works PERFECTLY! I am thrilled.

Here is how I did it:
For Bluetooth, I installed this cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...7&postcount=64

Then edited the registry. I changed three keys for the right soft button.

HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeRSKPath = \windows\camera.exe
../HomeRSKText = Camera
Delete the contents of the HomeRSKArguments key since it previously provided an argument to the tmail app to launch a new SMS message.

For the left soft key I changed 2 registry entires.

HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/HomeLSKPath = \windows\btonoff.exe
../HomeLSKText = Bluetooth

Didn't even soft reset and the softkeys on the home screen changed and, as I said, they both work perfectly.
