my today screen default keys are camera and contacts from what i understand some phones where shipped with contacts and calander. i cant stand having a camera softkey almost everytime i open it i open the stupid camera. this is very irritating.

I can't seem to change them either. I have tried so many different combinations and none of them work.

I know it does not make sense but I was able to get the left softkey to work buy changing the following keys:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila

HomeLSKText = what text you want displayed
HomeRSKPath = the path to the program you want. ***Notice RSKPath***

I set mine to:

HomeLSKText = E-Mail
HomeRSKPath = \Windows\tmail.exe

And my left softkey now opens email??? I have not been able to change the right softkey yet.

Don't know if it will work for anyone else but give it a try!!

amazing find!!! this should be put on the tweaks sticky so people know.

i can confirm that right soft key path does in fact change the left soft key path... you still have to change left softkey text tho... but now i can map resco explorer or anything else to left soft key... really strange that it's swapped in a way. im not so concerned with right soft key because i like having contacts there. thanks again! oh and changing either path does not change the right soft key path...

I'm sorry to ruin the moment but I just changed both my soft keys like normal, and it worked!

HomeLSKText = Contacts
HomeLSKPath = \Windows\AppButtons\Contacts.lnk
HomeRSKText = SMS
HomeRSKPath = \Windows\tmail.exe

Keyed the edits, exited PHM reg editor and went from the settings tab to the home tab and violÃ*.

/\ weird... any other verizon users able to change it normally? On sprint's it is messed up i think. or did we just install some tf3d tweak that messed it up?

I just lost all my "start" icons trying to edit the soft key. Anyone available to help in an emergency situation?

It appears the hklm/software/htc/manilla is gone and tf3d wont even launch, help...all that is left in the hklm/software/htcis internet push and add value...Can someone please help me find and replace these files?

Does anyone know how to get the phone linked to the left soft key?
