How do you change the bottom 2 buttons on the Today screen?

[psycho_maniac]

have you tried this? ill use contacts as an example
Change the right soft keys on the home screen
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\
change HomeRSKArguments to contacts
change HomeRSKPath to \Windows\poutlook.exe
change HomeRSKText to Contacts

look for homelsktext, homelskpath, and homelskarguments for the left button

This does not work on TP2 (Sprint)
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
HomeLSKArguments: Opera Mini
HomeLSKPath: "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Opera Mini.lnk"
HomeLSKText: Opera Mini
HomeRSKArguments: Pocket Player
HomeRSKPath: "\Storage Card\Program Files\Pocket Player\pocketplayer.exe"
HomeRSKText: Pocket Player

clicking on left softkey opens pocket player
clicking on right softkey opens contacts

What are the oem registry settings? I tried to install the mobile shell toggle, only to find out it doesnt work with MS3.5
Now my buttons say SPB and Today2 and I even forgot what the oem ones said.

All my softkey reg entries are empty. Not sure why.

Unfortunately I can't find my clean registry backup. I should have access to an OEM one later and will let you know

Your path needs to point to the exe for the program you want to run not the lnk (shortcut). Your argument should be blank unless one is needed. The easiest way to determine if you need a argument is to use total commander, browse to where the shortcut you use to run the program is (probably \Windows\Start Menu\Programs) and see what the properties of the shortcut are. If it uses an argument it will be after the exe in the path. The Contacts shortcut is the perfect example, the path on the shortcut will be "\Windows\poutlook.exe contacts" so "\Windows\poutlook.exe" is you path and "contacts" is your argument. If the path for the shortcut stops after the exe then the argument key should be left blank.

I would say your pocket player would start working just by blanking the HomeRSKArguments. For your Opera Mini you need to look at the shortcut and see where it points to find out what exe to put in HomeLSKPath and if you need anything in HomeLSKArguments.

I am well aware of all of this. If you look at the post I was quoting they had said they had gotten it to work using this different method so I gave it a try. As has been stated repeatedly the Sprint version does not seem to have fully working reg entries here. For example the LSKText and RSKPath match up (so you can change this button but not the right one)

Thanks for trying to help though

Sorry about that, I must have missed a few posts. Hopefully when 6.5 drops for Sprint this will get fixed.
