Google "change softkey," n00b... It's a simple registry edit. "Never installing the software again because it didn't change his softkey back for him perfectly.."
:]

Its still poor software management to have your program change something on a phone, and yet when it uninstalls not to reset it back to its previous setting.

Alright Well I Figured it Out ..So those dont have to due a hard Reset.. Just Go To HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2 And ull see a Home Value - Just delete it ..and there you go the Left soft key returns back to The Org ...

Hopes this helps

I would not recommend installing this on your ppc unless you are ok with doing a hard reset - i can't find any easy solution to uninstall this app - in the forums on their web site when asked how to uninstall their reply was "Uninstall already. What where the reasons to uninstall? I like to know so we can get an idea of where things aren't right." Hey - just tell people how to uninstall it if you ever want people to try using it again. The Add/Remove programs button doesn't work, pretty obvious there's some major issues with this app.

is there a way to close running programs on this thing or change the colors?

Under programs/Update Manager there is an option to uninstall. Has anybody sucessfully uninstalled this program by using this option?

Okay, maybe this is a noob question but i got the softkey back but how do i get rid of the .home and .updatemanager files out of the program folder?

How do you lock and unlock under PointUI? My phone shows a lock status - cannot change that state - yet everything seems to be unlocked. How is thi activated and what does it do. My phone has always had all buttons locked except for the power button.

WISHING EVERYONE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR.
I have been using my first Windows Mobile [HTC Touch AKA ELF] for about 6 months now and at times was disappointed by the UI of it. Inspite of being "TOUCH" it was never touch friendly i had to pull out the stylus to make my way through it.
Then came a revolution to the usability of the touch. It was the "PointUI". It is a pretty neat and most importantly "TOUCH FRIENDLY" interface for my Touch.
PROS:
- Easy to use
- Touch friendly
- Lighting fast
- Low of resource consumption [particulatly good for the initial ELF devices with only 64MB RAM]

CONS:
- Not much configuration options available in the initial release
- Lacks the basic task manager functionality [even though it shows the list of the running apps - there is no way you can stop them. The only way is go to the traditional task manager or memory settings to stop/terminate the apps]
- The close button on the applications always minimizes them rather than using the setting in the default task manager of minimizing/closing them.

I have been using it for only a couple of hours now. You can download it from http://www.pointui.com. I would rate it as a must UI and will look towards it being the default shell for the WM future releases. Thanks a lot to all of you behind it.

Had read of couple of posts about it where uninstalling is not clean and does not revert the device back to its pre-installation state - but i am not uninstalling it - just close it if you dont like it.
