Modifying Soft Keys with Tweaks2K2 .NET
A new version of Tweaks2K2 .NET (v3.13.0) has just been released, and one of the nicest additions is the ability to modify the default assignments for the left and right soft keys in Windows Mobile 5.0. If you already own a copy of Tweaks2K2 .NET v3.x, then this new release is a free update. Otherwise, head over to Handango and grab a copy for $15.50. [Affiliate]

In light of changing things on WM5--I just purchased QTEK 9100 and no longer see headset icon on top when I am connected to BLUETOOTH headset. Any ideas for tweak or settings?
Thanks

It's possible to deactivate the softkeys. Certain apps have been known to "crash" the softkey function, making it disappear. I imagine its some sort of process or other hidden function that can be turned off though I don't know of anyone who's looked into it at any great depth yet.

They should make there program free.

When they had their live chat the other week I asked the questions and here is what they said.
Q: [17] Is there a way to disable the soft keys on the screen. Also is there a way to place the icons back onto the bottom bar that are now claiming the space at the bottom?
A: The SHEnableSoftkey() API should do what you need. I'm not sure what you mean by the icons on the bottom bar.
Q: [43] WM5 now places the wifi, bluetooth etc icons within the screen itself and not on the bottom bar as in SE2003 thus making the today screen loose about 10 or so pixels from the bottom.
A: Ah, yes, I understand now. The reason for this is that the Today screen did not have soft keys on PP2003SE. There is no longer any room to put the icons on the soft key bar. The Today window is scrollable.

I'm curious why you think that, because they used information you published freely, they should then be obligated to make their program free. People can still do what you've published with freely available tools around the net - however if they want an easier solution to implement it, they may buy the product. I don't see where there was theft here - simply a usage of freely available information on the net originally provided by yourself and members of HowardForums.

Go ahead an write a competing product and give it away. Tweaks2K2 adds value for the consumer who is not capable or comfortable with doing reg hacks. The hack isn't being sold, it's the front end to numerous hacks. I can't see how offering people the use of discoverd capabilities, freely published, is stealing. If you don't want people using your discovery, don't post it.
If you are indeed the discoverer of this inherent, but unexposed capability, thank you for your diligence in investigating the hidden capabilities of this new OS. We appreciate your efforts.
