Nah not tried to change it because I wouldnt have any clue what the tags would be + I dont think you can link it unless the activity menu is already active in the files else where. We need to find out where the menu is actually stored in the K750i and how it works in correspondence with the FM.

I think you are right there. My feeling actual activity menu code (as opposed to the weak shortcuts menu of the W800) is probably only included in the main flash of K750 firmware.

Vodafone Live handsets have an ACTIVITY_BUTTON_HOOK which points to vodafone live. When you delete that hook from /tpa/preset/system/custmenu, and set action-button-activates to to "true" in the customize.xml (then do a master reset), the activity button returns to normal:

Code:

<activity-menu>
<activity-menu-neweventstyle>false</activity-menu-neweventstyle>
<action-button-activates>true</action-button-activates>
</activity-menu>



So it may be possible to use vodafone's trick to make the middle button bring up the shortcut menu (still not activity button but close), but I'm not sure what link string you would use in activity_button_hook.xml to bring up the shortcuts menu.

Also, the trick may not work on non-vodafone firmware.

I couldn't get it to work. But we are missing tag info. If I knew what string points to activity menu - it might be able to call it up - for example use right_softkey_hook to make the right softkey pull up the full activity menu (that would eb better than nothing)

i need the files form the main flash - we don't have those yet. I have all the FS contents for most K750 firmwares though, and nothing in them helps with this issue.

If you can get those main flash files though..

no, I only have the raw file, sefstool2 will not extract the FS. Not sure why...

It's not like it's cid49? (it's cid36)

tried - but we don't have the correct format to call up the activity menu. So all you can do is assign websites to the middle button.

okay then, if so easy you tell us the internal link to use?

That's the problem....we don't know what link to use, or even if the activity menu exists at all in the W800 firmware.
