AKU2.2 will re-enable clock in Title Bar

http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2006/04/28/586453.aspx
On the WM Team Blog they address the reaction to the nearly worthless battery icon replacing the clock. Good news is that ROMs using AKU2.2 and later will allow you to add the clock back in, bad news is that the current JasJar ROM (1.30.76) doesn't seem to have the 2.2 release of AKU.
Can people with other carrier's ROMs check to see if the registry edit they provide works with your ROM?
The egistry edit is to add a DWORD titled ShowTitleBarClock with the value of 1 in the HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell location.

Didn't work for me

Doesn't work in the latest dopod rom 1.30.111 either...

The message on the MS site is from yesterday, and the guy is speaking of a "further release", i think AKU 2.2 don't exist yet
btw: isn't working on my wizard too

AKU 2.2.1 exists...
this is the nessesery file, you need to replace the existing one with this one (windows directory)
and add
[HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1
this is only for AKU 2.0!
!!!Attention: Make a backup and read through this tropic!!!
Problems with Universal roms!!!!
Perhaps related to the certification. Plz someone with removed certification try this... and post the results.

RE
The shell32.exe file in my QTEK 9000 is located in ROM something which you cannot copy out.
Does a soft reset reverts back to original battery icon if I'll to replace with the attached shell32.exe file?
After the battery icon is replaced by the clock icon, can I add a date to it also using any known method to put a date on top of the clock?
I believe a hard reset will definitely reverts back to the original battery icon, right?
Thanks

only a hard reset reverts back to the original.
add a date: I think so... not tested, but it should work.
I have a special rom where it is possible to overwrite system files, but It could be difficult to replase shell32.exe on a normal rom and I cant make a cab, because I dont know how to sign that.
plz someone with the knowledge about that make a cab.

don't bother, because even if you replace the shell32.dll, it wont restart, displaying the keyboard and getting stuck there.
You will have to hard reset and restore from a backup to get back your device.

A word of warning - back up before trying this. It hosed my universal. It would not even finish booting, and I had to hard reset.
Surur

Ok, I realy sorry.
It works for me...
Himalaya (rom based on 2.00a)

On my ROM (Qtek latest) in \Shell\Taskbar there's a regkey LimitedClock set to 1. If I set that to 0, the clock will at least display everywhere except Today, both in landscape and portrait modes. With it set to 0 as per standard, the clock only shows up while in apps *and* landscape, apps/portrait it doesn't. As long as the Today screen time&date plugin is switched on, this means you've always got the clock. BTW, needs a softreset to activate, Taskbar settings apparently are only read on first startup.

I'm sure you realise this is a universal forum? You should edit your post to remove your file before somebody else zaps it's unit.

I dont think so, because the os is the same.
My rom is not realy Himalaya, it is a ported wizard os and only the drivers of Himalaya.
So the file should work on all WM5 devices, perhaps the problem is related to the removed certification on Him 2.0 rom's.
(This file is from an Atom rom not Himalaya)
But you are right, I edited the post.

Disablesecurity.cab, replace shell32.exe with new, softreset
Hangs at boot with the soft keyboard superimposed over the boot screen. Hard reset to fix.
Basically, avoid this for a while.

......or use Wisbar Advance 2 and you have your clock back on the Today screen....
Cheers

You can access that feature simply by going to the date/time settings and enabling "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" on the |More| tab.

O2 xda Atom have AKU2.2.1 and it really works no more battery icon.

Hello,
It is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday, I unlocked my frensh SPVM3000 (Wizard) and tried to replace my "shell32.exe" by the "shell32.exe" downloadable on this post.
It was a BAD idea! My SPV starting crashed because it was for Universal smartphone. I used the button sequence to re-install the original software.
Have you an address where I can download the "shell32.exe" of the Wizard AKU 2.2 software?
Thanks for your help.

Wrong Keyboard Layout Question??

Hi, I have installed the latest Imate ROM and have a few questions.
------- 1 SOLVED-------
1) How do you get the disconnect button for when you press the G and are connected to GPRS? As i only have a hide button.
------- 2 NEED HELP ------------
2) How do you set the hardware keyboard to the correct layout, as when i press ! on the keyboard i get ~. The normal alphabet characters seem to be fine, just a few symbols seemed to be messed up.
I am pretty sure they will be registry edits, but not sure which one!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

* go to \\registry\HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\
* if the value 'Flags2' doesn't exist, create it as a DWORD value.
* Set the value (decimal) to
o 8 to add a Disconnect button.
o 16 to add a Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the current session.
o 0 to hide both the Disconnect button and the timer
* Soft Reset.
Works a treat (Thanks to The HTC Wizard Web for that one)...

Thanks, works a treat! I have got the disconnect button and the timer on! sound advice my friend! thanks again.
now, does any one know how to sort my keyboard layout out please?
thanks

Please Help
Please help me with the keyboard question guys~ thanks.
~ should have been !, I'm typing on my wizard.
the problem is evey character on the second line is actually the next key to the right instead of what it should be.
I have the new imate wwe rom.
please help~

have you checked your regional settings under "start/settings/system tab/ regional settings.
It may be that you have it set to the wrong locale.
I did try to post earlier but I kept getting php errors, so sorry for the delay.

I think you have flashed your unit with a incorrect ROM for your locale. Its always better if you can flash the original ROM provided by your vendor. If you really need to flash to different language (e.g. UK English to US English), then you have to use a utility called aekmap, with appropriate key map loaded.

Hope this help- I tried it works on my german layout version change to WWE ROM.

Thanks William Yeung,
I think you are right as i had the English O2 ROM and flashed to the WWE imate ROM.
If I use the key board mapper and flashed back to O2 will i have to remap the keys?

Skype on X01HT

I installed Asukal's MUI (Thanks Asukal, really useful...)
However installing skype... leads me to a japanese version of skype... Whatever I do... Whcih is reallya pain for me !
Anybody had this problem ? Some ideas on how to fix it ?

I've installed Skype on my X01HT now twice, once with the JasJam rom, and once with the new Softbank Rom, using Askuls hack.
The key is that I downloaded the CAB file directly from Skypes site, and then executed it on the phone after transferring it to the card. If you're having trouble getting to the english version of the skype site from in Japan, just scroll to the bottom, and select the english language version of the page. It took me awhile to find it, but you'll eventually get the language of the page, and program of your choice. Good luck!

Unfortunately that's what I did (get the cab from my PC, on the English website)
Anyway if it worked for you, it should work for me
So I am going to give it a try once again ! (And check each step this time !)

Skype CE is multilingual application, no matter what you install, it seems to check your localization settings on startup and change language according to it. On my x01ht I had to open Skype in Japanese and than change language in Skype options...
It should not be hard, just follow these steps (I assume no WiFi available):
1. Open Skype
1a. If you get warning that you can only use cellular network, accept it (I don't remember which button, try left)
2. Sing in with your username and password, tap サインイン button
3. Confirm WiFi not available windw (OK)
4. Go to menu (メニュー)
5. Go to setup menu (設定 (E))
6. Select English language in language menu (言語), confirm OK, OK
7. Exit Skype, menu (メニュー), exit (終了(G))...
At next Skype start, everything should be in English...

Show Service provider name ('operator' / 'network') in dialer

Since I am using WM5 AKU3.3 (TMO HR origin) on my Wizard I do not see the active operator name in the dialer anymore.
The info is still available on the device as ie the wireless today plugin still shows the name.
In another thread someone stated that the WM5 AKU3.3 ROM do not show the operator name in the dialer by default.
My question is if there is a registry setting (ie in the RIL branch) or any other hack that can fix this.
Please note: I am NOT talking about a carrierlogo. I allready replaced the default (containing the T-Mobile logo) file with an empty transparent one.
The reason for wanting to have the operator name in the dialer is to check what network I am on because I use a dual sim. I have the info on my today screen (using the SIMToday plugin) but want to have it in the dialer also (just like with previous ROM versions).

The answer is a very simple: don't use T-Mobile ROM. All other ROMs, WM5 and WM6 have operator name in a dialer.

That is an option, but the WM5 AKU3.3 rom from TMO is the only official rom of that generation available. And i'd like to stick with it because of that.
I know previous ROM's (also TMO) do show the operator name, just this one doesnt.
If this is specific to this ROM, there should be a way to overcome the issue?
Meanwhile I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324844
But the reg keys mentioned are not on my device.

a program can check if reg keys are present without auto creating them if they are not
in which cause only way to get the program to get the behaviour from the reg keys is to manualy create them

Rudegar, can you give me some hint on what you mean with your statement? You puzzled me . . . . .
I do know how to create reg keys and set values, but its strange that a whole set of keys simply isnt available . . .

The new ROM TouchFLO Today softkeys different from previous version

Hi all,
When I purchased my Touch 3G from Singapore (Starhub) last week with the factory ROM the Today Screen with TouchFLO was showing "Programs" as the right softkey and the programs had the audio manager.
Once I upgraded the ROM to latest provided by HTC website for Asia WWE released date 2009-04-17. The right softkey is replaced by "Camera" and the Audio Manager Icon is not present in the programs.
Is this a bug or feature?
I really liked the old setup and was wondering if anyone knows how to replace the "Camera" softkey back to "Programs" and include the Audio manager icon into the programs.
Or if someone out there has the old version of the ROM.
Appreciate all the help.
Regards

Hi Buddy,
You have to add or edit the Registry Key
You need Registry Editor
1. Go to HKLM\Software\HTC\manila2D\Home\
2. Edit or add SK2 = "Your Own Text"
3. Edit or add SK2Cmd = "\windows\AudioManager.exe"
4. SOFTRESET
It work for me.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I think you cannot go back to the older ROM once you upgrade to the new one. I remember reading it on the download site.

i update my jade too ... it still work with the new rom just add or edit the Registry Key.

I posted the issue to the HTC tech Support, it seems they are calling this the new feature, the new upgraded ROM will have the Camera as default.
The softkeys should be configurable as default.
Had installed M2DC to configure the keys to any application, works like a charm.
But there is no way to get the Manila 2D Program folder to be configured. Anyone out there knows please post the solution.
