Clock in right upper corner has disappeared - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi all,
After installing loads of software, the clock in the right upper corner is gone. Since I don't know what software caused this and I don't want to remove all my apps to try what caused it, does someone know how to get it back, perhaps in the windows settings? Or is there a small free app for getting a clock on my today screen?

Yeah, I get this all the time.
You need to edit the Registry
In the Registry go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
If not exist make a key TBOpt (Binary Value)
Possible values and there meaning are as follows:
0 = no time or date
1 = time
2 = date
3 = both
Credit to bernhard74 who posted this a while back.
Use PHM Regedit and soft reset afterwards

Thanks very much for the tip! Worked perfectly, the value was set to 0 for some reason, but now I have date and time in the right corner!

Changing Start Menue in WM SE

Hi everybody. Those of you who have windows mobile SE might miss the good old start menue from first edition featuring more links than the new one. The old version had those tiny little symboles at the very top. Far more handy than these big "last used" symbols now from my poit of view.
Perhaps one reason of this restructure is the landscape mode. Here the "last used" symboles become the litte symboles ontop like in first edition.
now wouldn't it be nice if you could also define the lower sectioin of the menue with permanent links in stead of these changing ones?
So far I found out that the registry folder containing these shortcuts is to be found at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TaskSwitch
(at least at my Himalaya).
Within here you got
(Default) (value not set)
"1"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\SlovoEd.lnk"
"0"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Resco Registry.lnk"
"10"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Spiele\\Jawbreake r.lnk"
"11"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Astor.lnk"
"9"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Internet Explorer.lnk"
"8"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Messaging.lnk"
"7"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Alex.lnk"
"6"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Eval.lnk"
"5"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Notizen.lnk"
"4"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\movianVPN.lnk"
"3"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Sprite Backup.lnk"
"2"="\\Windows\\Startmenü\\Programme\\Suchen.lnk"
for example while values form 0 to 5 are the 6 items that are displyed.
Now changing a value to a link (.lnk) that is located in the windows/start menue/program folder and a softrest brings this new item up..
The only thing that one would have to do to permanently set one's links is to stop the device from changing that folder.
unfortunatelly I have no idea how to do that... maye sombody of you can help?
Thanks alot
Alex
I've tried everything. Delete single values within taskswitch. delete taskswitch...
I added Dwords to Shell and taskswitch as follows:
NoRecentTaskHistory = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitch = 1
NoRecentTaskSwitchHistory = 1
NoTaskHistory = 1
NoTaskSwitch = 1
NoTaskSwitchHistory = 1
non of them works.
Actually I'm not into inventing new regestry vlues.
Perhaps someone of you knows...
Thanks a lot. I think a lot of people would appreciate this.

Registry Tweaks for XDA Mini

Here are some registry tweaks for your Mini
Please make a backup of your REGISTRY and all the other stuff of your PDA before you apply the following tweaks
Install directory to your storage/storage card.
To install your application/program to storage memory or storage card memory. Whenever you are about to install, there will one screen appear to ask you where to install the program. But not to forget to change it back the default value to 0 after the installation or u might encounter weird situation when you want to change your today screen and etc..
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\Microsoft Application Installer
Default: 0
Changed: 1
Fast graphic but consume memory
It can fasten and smoothen your OS graphic movement, but it will eat some of your program memory, not that much. You also can change it to 32768 instead of 16384 for greater result.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\GLYPHCACHE
Default: 8192
Changed: 16384
To hide screen rotate icon
There is a small PDA icon at your bottom right corner of your screen to change ur screen orientation from patriot to landscape and other way round. For me, its unnecessary, so you can hide it.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\ScreenRotate
ShowIcon value change to 0
Default: 1
Changed: 0
To turn off flashing LEDs and Vibration
It will turn off the blinking green/red/orange LED and the vibration mode. Some people will irritate by the blinking, especially when you're driving and sleep at night.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\Builtin\AllLEDMgr
Default: 1
Changed: 0

Place all your downloaded ringtones from internal memory to storage card. Usefull for our small/ciput Mini memory.
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SoundCategories\Ring\Directory registry key
Default value: "\Windows\Rings\"
Change it to: "\Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\" (Note that "\" at the end is extremely important!!!)
Place those ringtones into \Storage Card\<your preferred directory>\
Enable hidden editor function in Album
This opens the additional hidden function in the ALBUM, allows u to edit ur photo, brightness, contrast, crop, etc. Album (opens Editor menu):
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/Album/Disable Editor
Disable value changed to: 0
SPB Pocket Plus Storage Card Display

Disabling “Message Sent” notification bubble
For those who hates the "Message Sent" notification after sending an SMS, this is the steps to remove the bubble notification...this is the STEP by STEP method to do it in case some of you guys dont get it right...
1. First, you will need to download a Registry Editor to help you do it...
2. using the Registry Editor, navigate to:

Audio Tweak enhances the speaker performance of the O2 Mini (some devices have this set to a lesser priority and by using this you get better sound, if your device is already set to a high level you have no need for this)
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\WaveDev\Priority256
Default: 110
Changed to: 80

This tweaking will eliminate the list of menu "drop-down animation" if u tab on Start/Flag icon.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\
AniType value change from 6 to 0.
Looping Ringtones Delay
Ring tone has a standard 3 seconds delay before repeating. You can set the delay from 0 second to how many second that you want.
Code:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0
Change 'Script' from 'av0pw3r' to 'av0pr' and you'll get 0 sec delay.
OR change it to

and so on...
Plus..heres the code
a - stands for display

To Get The AM/PM on The Top Bar
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
1. Creat new String value with Name = S1159 & Data = Am
2. Creat new String value with name = S2359 & data = Pm
3. Creat new String value with name = STFmt & data = h:mm tM
- capital letters and small letters must be followed exactly or it may cause hard resets!
- you will get capital "AM/PM" on the top bar eventhough the registry data value above was entered as "Am/Pm"
Change The Date on The Top Bar
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
Look for String value SSDte (short date) and change the value data, some example of date formats i have used below:
- "7 May 05, Friday" by changing the String value SSDte data = d MMMM yy, dddd
- "07/05/2005, Fri" by changing String value SSDte data = dd/MM/yyyy, ddd
Clear Type on LandscapeDisplay
You'll get clear type font in landscape mode. made me dizzy though..not much functionality value..just some fun factor for us curious ones.
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSetting
1. Change value data of OffOnRotation from 1 to 0
2. Soft reset
Setting Cleartype Text in PIE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings
"ClearTypeText"<- Set 1 to Enable Cleartype in PIE, 0 to Disable
Setting ClearType Text in Pocket PC
Optionally, you can go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEMS>SCREEN>CLEARTYPE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI
Create a Subkey then Name it "CLEARTYPE"
Settings Screen Text Size
Optionally, you can go to START>SETTINGS>SYSTEMS>SCREEN>TEXT SIZE
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Stylus\96DPI
"CurFont"= change to the ff value ..
dword:00000258 -> Smallest
dword:000002BC -> Smaller
dword:00000320 -> Normal/Default
dword:000003E8 -> Larger
dword:0000044C -> Largest

May be a hard reset would help :?
That is what i dont whant to do.. have no backup=((
Anyone know why it dident work?
Is the Mini the same as I-mate Jam and Qtek S100?
I dont know any other solution for you :? except for a hard reset.
Try SBP Pocket PC tips and tricks. Almost all of the mentioned tweaks are supported by this program & only softreset required to get them activated. Plus no hacking in the registry by hand, just set an option . I got my time & date in the top bar for instance working flawless.
Got two extra hacks for speeding up file browsing:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\CacheSize=4096
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS\EnableCache=0x1(1)
Cheers, M
Nice work, bhai. Did some of the tweaks and they work well.
Thanks.

Add time & date instead of the battery icon

Hi all, on my M3100 there was a program called pimp my black which allowed you to not only get rid of the annoying battery icon and replace it with the time but also the date in the top right of the screen. Does anyone know how of if this is possible on the Touch Dual yet?
thanks
I would like this as well.
To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
JIC you might need more.
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

Ok, I need some help please, I get as far as HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell then the TBOpt is not there, Taskbar is there so I changed that to 3 and then reset and I have no clock at all when in screens other than home screen. Any advise.

Change taskbar back.
If TBOpt is not there, create a key by the same name.
then add the dword (decimal) 3
ok that works! for others you will need to set "ShowTitleBarClock"=1 otherwise it gets a little congessted in that area!

OK I created a New Key under Shell and then while it was highlighted I pressed edit at bottom of screen and pressed "New DWORD Value" and under "Value Name" I entered TBOpt and in "Value data:" I entered 3 and the "Base" was Decimal. IS THIS CORRECT???

Sorry not the fastest with this stuff, where do I find "ShowTitleBarClock" so I can change the setting?
What you need to do is create a new DWORD value (TBOpt) under the Shell key, do not create a new key. Under the current Shell key you should only have the value ShowTitleBarClock which is what you need to change and the TBOpt value you created.
Thanks heaps, all is working now.
One last question, I have the date above the time which is fine but the date is 6/01/0 the last digit is missing, is there a way to edit this to fix the problem or even get rid of the year as I can usually remember what year it is but month and date I need very bad.......
Hmm mine is using UK time so the format only cuts of the last digit of the year for me. It uses the Short date format from within the Date tab within regional settings so maybe you can alter that to appear like mine? the weird thing is on my M3100 it is set exactly the same but instead of showing 05/01/08 it only shows 05 Jan, weird. Maybe someone else knows
That would be perfect, that format "5 Jan" ..... Does anyone know how to get this format for the date?

Goto settings\regional settings and under the "Date" Tab:
For short Date choose one of the presets: dd-MMM-yy
for "Date Seperator", choose space instead of the default "-" (dash).
Unfortunately you can't change the presets, so the option suggested above is the closest you can get.

So far I've managed to get no less than two battery indicators when I'm on the home screen, and one when in a program.
What I want is neither clock or battery indicator on the title bare.
I'm running mobile 6, and have tried to set the TbOption in HKLM\software\ms\shell to 0, and the ShowTitleBarClockthingy to 0. This results in a empty space where the clock used to be, and a somewhat sluggish performance, as well as the icon next to (signal strength) to be cut in half, so not a good solution at all.
So I tried to remove the new key, and use KaizerTweak, which resulted in good performance, but two indicators... me confused be
All I wanted was nothing!
Sort of new to WinMobile 6, so It's probably some noobism in me as well.

I am still pretty new to all of this and would love to know what others have discovered to get 'more' from our PPCs.
Thanks in advance for the contributions!
I am using PHM Registry for my editor.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Camera\Image

15-Change Vibrate Strength
HKLM\SOFTWARE\OEM\VIB
STRENGTH_LOW set to 1.
--------------------------------------------------
16-Disable Ambient Light Sensor
KEY_CURRENT_USER\CONTROL PANEL\BACKLIGHT set auto sensor from 1 to 0
--------------------------------------------------
17-how to get rid of some of thoes annoying sounds while on calls or making calls (or attempting), such as adjusting the volume,
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds
Loudestincallvolume = the sound it makes when you turn the volume all the way up (that annoying little useless sound) delete this key to remove that
Quietestincallvolume = the same but for when you turn it all the way down
Networkdrop = the dropped call /w lost signal sound
Calldrop = caller hangs up before you do sound
---------------------------------------------------
18-Change ringtone/vibrate/LED flash characteristics
If you would like more control over how your device rings/vibrates/flashes its LEDs on events, you can can change the Script values of these events. For example, for an incoming call performing 'activate device, play ringtone, wait 3 seconds, repeat':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "apw3r" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
For performing 'active device, set volume to 33%, play ringtone, set volume to 67%, play ringtone, set volume to 100%, play ringtone (no repeat)':
HKCU\ControlPanel\Sounds\RingTone0\Script = "ac33pc67pc100p" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
The following are the full codes available to you. Please note that all the codes are executed simultaneously except after a ringtone play / wait code. E.g. 'v1p' will vibrate and play at the same time, while vibrating for 1 second. But 'pv1' will play the ringtone through all the way first, then start vibrating for 1 second.
a = activate device
cN = set volume to N in percentage max volume
fN = flash notification LED for N seconds
p = play ringtone. Note that this will play the ringtone all the way through before continuing with the next code.
r = repeat. Note that this should be the last code in your Script string, if used at all.
vN = vibrate for N seconds
wN = wait for N seconds. Note that the device will wait this long before continuing with the next code.
NOTE: I tried this on my 6800 and changed the v0 to v1 and now it doesn't have just one long vibrate. v0 sets it to vibrate always.
-----------------------------------------------------
19-FIX THE SLOW RINGER
To do this, you will need your MSL, which only Sprint (or your provider) can provide you. Open up the phone app and dial ##778# (PST). You will be asked to enter your MSL. Enter it, and you will be brought into the provisioning of your phone. From the top left, select Modem Settings. On this page, your Slot Cycle Index (SCI) is how often your phone polls the tower for incoming calls, etc. This value is 1.28 seconds multiplied by 2^value (i.e 0=1.28 secs, 1=2.56secs) with 0 fastest, 7 slowest. The default is 2, but lowering it to 1 hasn't noticeably affected my battery life, and roughly 2.5 second (SCI 1) response time is far more reasonable than roughly 5 seconds (SCI 2)
-----------------------------------------------------
20-Change scroll bar size
Navigate to HKey_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\ and tweak the following values.
cyHScr : Horizontal Scrollbars Height in pixels (default is 13)
cxVScr : Vertical Scrollbars Width in pixels (default is 13)
-----------------------------------------------------
21-Save Attachments or the Whole Email on your SD Card
The Key in WM6 changed from WM5. In WM6 it is:
HKLM\System\Inbox\Settings
For Attachments add "AttachPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox\Attachments" datatype="string"
For the rest of the email add "PropertyPath" value="\Storage Card\Inbox" datatype="string"
For the paths above to work, you need to have the Inbox folder and Attachments subfolder created already. You must reboot for them to take effect.
-------------------------------------------------------
22-add the AM/PM to your time in the title bar
To Add AM or PM
1) Open your registry editor (either PHM Registry Editor or Resco Explorer 2003).
2) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
3) Create 1st String Value: Name = S1159 & String = Am
4) Create 2nd String Value: Name = S2359 & String = Pm
5) Create 3rd String Value: Name = STFmt & String = hh:mm t'M'
6) Soft-reset
There has to be a space after the am or pm otherwise it will not display
Also
am=aM pm=pM
Am=AM Pm=PM
--------------------------------------------------------
23-Changing SoftKeys
Create the following keys and Strings in the registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 2
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3
112 is the left key and 113 is the right.
Set Default to what you want the key to read (ie. SMS)
Now for each key create a new string named Open and set the target path.
--------------------------------------------------------

Great hacks. Thanks for your contribution.
big list of em over here.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Tweaks+and+Hacks?t=anon
im usually not one to mess up my phone (ie im usually very cautious, dont play with what i shouldnt) but i wouldnt touch that ringtone modifying hack. i just tried it, hoping to set the ringtone more like it was on an old razr of mine (4vibes and a break) and it really messed up the phone application. like it wouldnt open. even after multiple restarts, everything. after i called my phone from another one, the phone app opened, thankfully, and then it started working but gave me quite a scare before that
EDIT- nope, that didnt fix it either. even after calling from another phone, once my 6800 is restarted, the phone app wont work again. god this will be the 4th hard reset this week. lame.
Duration of the rington
Has anyone an idea if it is possible to say the phone how long the ringtone should play till the phone hangs up and went into mailbox.
I mean is it possilbe to set the duration to eg. 30 sec or more till it hangs up.
I know there is a hack to stop ActiveSync from starting automatically but I can't find it. Searched here and PDAphonehome. Anyone have it?
Hey guys, I'm an active user on the Wing forums. I was wondering if there is such a reg edit to save SMS to the SD card instead of on the phone? Thanks for any details!

Does anyone know how to get Homescreen++ taskbar indicator in the new ver of WM6.5??

Hi all,
I'm currently using the old version of WM6.5 - the version before they move X button down - located next to the soft key.
I want to change to the newest version but I've got the problem that HS++ taskbar indicator, which is norrmally showing CPU utilization and located under the clock in top bar, is missing due to the top bar space is contracted.
Does any know how to get the taskbar indicator in the new version of WM6.5?
I really need to see my CPU utilization on the screen all of the time.
Thank you.
-Edit-
Sorry, i should post this in QUESTIONS & ANSWERS section.
Please remove this thread or move it to QUESTIONS & ANSWERS.
Sorry again

I've done it but temporarily forgot.
There are hidden reg settings in HKLM -> Software -> Microsoft -> Today -> Items -> Homescreen++ where you set the X and Y coordinates for the taskbar indicator.
I had to dig in the HomeScreen++ threads here or on www.chi-tai.info to find it. I just reflashed my device and don't remember where I found the keys so I can't really help you out much now. But it can be done. Only problem I had was where to position it with the new WM6.5 builds. There is very little height on top and I can't position it below the clock like I normally would. I had to float it above the data and reception icons.
When I find the keys again I'll post them in here.
Found it!
From this page: http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_batterystatus_xda_neo_wm5_ext_im_cs.htm
The TaskBar-Indicator can be activated (and deactivated) by means of the contextmenu.
You can customize the position / font / color and background-painting-method by creating one or more of the following registry-values under HomeScreen PlusPlus-Key:
HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Today\\Items\\HomeScreen PlusPlus
TaskBarLeft
DWORD
Distance in pixel from left -> LeftAlign of reading
TaskBarRight
DWORD
Distance in pixel from/to right -> RightAlign of reading
TaskBarTop
DWORD
Top position of the indicator
TaskBarFont
DWORD
Means increase fontsize by 2 points
TaskBarFontColor
DWORD
Color of Taskbar-Reading ( 0x00bbggrr )
TaskBarBattery
DWORD
0 = Show CpuSpeed, 1 = Show Remaining Battery
