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!
Anyone know what this registry entry does?...Was actually looking for a similar today screen lock as on the HTC Wizard and a few other devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Device Lock"
That's what controls the HTC Wizard one - it's in my reg as well (HTC Wizard::Qtek 9100). It looks for "shutil.dll" on here.. does your reg key have any such/further data?
Found the shutil.dll in the windows directory of my Exec and theres only a DWORD data value of 1 named Enabled...no other reference to the .dll file...I quite liked the device lock on the wizard that I had before getting the Exec...wonder if this regitry entry can be changed to get the similar effect on the universals.
One way to find out....
DLL = shutil.dll
Enabled = 1
Flags = 0
Options = 0
Order = 38
Selectability = 1
Type = 4
All the numerics are DWORD decimals
Tried it but nothing appears on the today screen...although after adding the registry entries it does show up in the today settings...once enabled it actually pushes my today screen down a little by a couple of millimeters as if its trying to display something...but nothing actually visible.
curses
what's the size of your shutil.dll looking like? it's 29k here (29,696 bytes)
mine is 5.96kb (6014 bytes) here,
poss down to rom builds.
me missus has a wizard and i want the device lock today aswell, now ive seen it.
In theory you could place the Wizard file in your windows dir, thereby 'overriding' the Universal's ROM one, no?
Also, it's not really all that, imho... it doesn't work happily with the device password function (auto-unlocks if the (accidental) buttonpress is the on/standby button) for example.
DLL = shutil.dll
and
DLL-Name = shutil.dll
it works for me
Hey guys, Ive ran into a little problem.
I was messing around with Memaid, and I accidently deleted the 'Calendar' registry entry for the today screen, which also removed the entry from the Settings>Today>Items menu.
I assume the actual entry is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
Would someone be kind enough to look up the entry for me so I could add it back to my registry.
Thanks!
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Flags = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Options = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Order = 33
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Type = 1
"Order" will change as you move it around.
Thanks!
I only have experience with PHM, TRE and Total Commander's registry editing, unfortunately. However, they all work more or less the same.
Somewhere in Resco's File Explorer should be a registry editor. See that you get that running first Then navigate to...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
You should have a menu option somewhere where you can choose 'Create' or 'New', followed by 'Key'. Pick that one and you'll probably be asked to give it a name. For the name, choose "Calendar" (with quotes here, though I don't think you need it with the quotes).
That should get you the...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
key.
Now in the same menu where you could create a Key, you can probably choose to create a "DWORD" or "decimal" value. Pick that one for each of the items I had listed, and give it the appropriate name. E.g. "Enabled". It will likely also ask you for the value you want to give it - enter the numbers above (make sure that if you get an option to either edit in decimal, hexadecimal or binary, that you're using decimal. Doesn't matter for most of these, but for any future registry edits it'd be good to keep in mind to pick the correct one).
That's all there is to it
Alternatively, I believe that Resco can 'import' .reg files, and somebody could toss this in a .reg file for you to import - I don't know what type of .reg file Resco expects, or I'd attach one myself
It's good to know how to work those registry editing things anyway.
Equivalent entries for Mail?
I just installed and removed GoodLink (a corporate email client) on my Treo 700w. It modifies the Today screen and replaces Mail with it's own entry.
However after removing GoodLink I found that my old mail entry on the today screen was not restored. I used the phm registry editor to add this:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Flags = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"\Mail"\Options = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Order = 9
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Type = 2
which makes Mail appear in the list of available Today plugins. However if I enable it in the today options nothing appears on the Today screen.
Can someone supply the corect entries or tell me what I might be missing? Thanks.
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.

I tried "space" and it still didn't fit, then I tried a "." and it fits perfect, I don't know what will happen when the day becomes 2 digits it might be out again but thanks heaps for your help you have fixed my problem.

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 thought creating a thread that shows the various registry hacks might be helpful/useful/contructive/destructive.
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.
did you try searching? they are scattered all over this forum

Registry Hacks - List 1
You can download and install PHM Registry Editor on your phone to modify the registry.
http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/
Unlocking/Unhidding the extended_rom
\HKLM\System\StorageManager\Profiles\EXT_FLASHDRV \
then change the value (default at 1) to 0
Wait at least a minute before doing a soft reset.
----
Get rid of the voicemal icon on the '1' key (3.16+)
The 3.16 rom has added an voicemail icon to '1' key which also caused my skin to look messed up. You can disable it:
\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunctio n\CDMA\
set the DWORD value
"EnableVoicemailIcon" = "0"
by default it is set to 1.

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.
--------------------------------------------------------
24-This edit allows you to see the duration of your Vision connection along with a button to disconnect it.
You see it in the bubble that is displayed when you tap the Vision icon.
Click HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Click ControlPanel
Click Phone
[at this point, the buttom grey status bar should read \HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone'
Click the bottom menu 'edit'
Select new dword value
Change the value name to "Flags2" (no quotes).
Select the 'hexidecimal' button.
Type 10
Click ok.
You should now see in the 'name/data' section:
Flags2 16 (0x00010)
When done, reset the device.

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!
