Remove Camera Button from TP2

lexusstyle · #1 (**permalink**) 10-18-2009, 08:28 PM

Can someone please tell me if there is a way to remove the touch screen camera button from the lower right corner? I would love to replace it with something else, not even sure what, just hate that button there because I always hit it!!

Thanks!

There is

It requires a registry edit. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>Software>HTC>Manila

Edit the following keys:
HomeLSKText
HomeRSKPath

And yes, it is HomeRSKPath. It seems as though HTC did this backwards, but editing those two keys, and soft-resetting should do the trick.

Where can I get a good reg editor for this device?

i was also annoyed by the camera soft key. i changed it to the comm manager. you can use Advanced Config. to change the softkeys. Also make sure you have net framework 3.5 installed.

When installed, do a soft reset. once back up, go into your programs and look for "advanced config." Once in here go to "menu->more settings->key mapping"

you can go ahead and change what you want the softkeys to be from there.

hope this helps.

I can't tell you how many times I hit that camera button by accident before I changed it. Funny thing is, since I've changed it I have not hit that button on accident once lol

I installed the two cab files, then soft reset the phone but when I change the Camera button to Phone, or anything, it does nothing, but makes the screen go gray for a split second? Any help? Thank you.
