Any app that can show the day of the week in the Today screen? Day and date would be just about enough for me.
Calender + might be a good app for you. It shows you several days and it's free. http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/calendar.shtml
Personal I use pocket informant v5.61 with the links on my todayscreen linking to that program. If you are used to it you can't live without it !!
Regards,
R,
I use Pocket Informant too, but I haven't found any way to display this information. I don't want a whole calendar, just the day and date on the Today screen.
If you select to display 'Date' in the settings \ today \ items, wouldn't that be OK?
That doesn't display the day, only the date. I'd like both.
On my XDA II, Date shows both date and day. Make sure your regional settings are set to show both; settings / system / regional settings; look at the bottom appearance sample for Long date; you can edit this setting on the date tab. Mine is set for dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy.
-e
That was the solution I wanted, but unfortunately I can't edit the setting. Any register buff that can point me in the right direction?

As I understand U want the day notification under today screen date...if is it so...here U have the registry changes to do:
1) Go to the HKLM\nls\Overrides key.
2) Add a String value called "SLDte" if it does not already exist.
3) Set the value to a valid date format (ie for "Tuesday 8 February 2005" use "dddd d MMMM yyyy")
4) Soft reset.
Hope it helps :wink:

Primoz - You da god! Exactly what I wanted. Somehow, the Swedish translators has fucxed this up somewhere.. Checked my iPAQ and it had the same flaw.
One strange thing is if you change your regional settings, for an exemple, to English (United States) which has a long date like "dddd, dd MMMM, yyyy". Then switch back to Swedish and you will see that the long date looks like this "fredag, 25, februari, 2005". But when one presses ok this disappears...
Just discovered that if you change it to English (United States) and then make a soft reset. After that the phone has reset you change it back to Swedish and then you have a swedish long date like "dddd, dd MMMM, yyyy" in the today view
I don't know how long this will last, but there seems to be some kind of solution to this problem anyway.
This also works with calendar +
Thanks Primoz
I also dicoverd you can add your own text like " 'Today 'dddd d MMMM yyyy " and you will have " Today friday 25 Febrary 2005 ".

Hi. Quick question. Per
http://www.phm.lu/PocketPC/RegTweaks/Tweak.asp?ref=52
it is possible to display date above time on top of the screen but this hack results in date displayed in DD/MM/YY format on my XDA2.
Does anyone know of a different value for this registry key that will display date in DD/MM format along with the time?
Thanks in advance & best regards
In our case, the XDA II registry does not have any entries for HLM\nls\overrides so you will have to create the same.
SSDte -- the short date style d M yy
change to dd/MM
Thanks for your reply but I am a little confused. Sorry.
Are you saying I should change the system wide short date format from dd/mm/yy to dd/mm to achieve my goal? If yes any ideas how I can do this without using Control Panel / Regional Settings applet? The Date tab there has preset formats in the drop down and does not allow me to enter dd/mm as a format.
Is I totally misread it can you kindly re-iterate? Thanks a lot!!!
What you have todo is:
1st set the desired format in control panel
2nd apply the registry tweak
The date displayed after the soft reset is in the format you've set in the control panel regional settings
Success
Right. I got it so far. Now the question is how can I se tthe short date format to be DD/MM then. The control panel does not have this as an entry in the selection drop down and does not allow free form entry.
Thanks for your help. Regards
In registry go to
HKLM\nls\overrides
Create a new string key which is named SSDte and give is the value dd-MM
it works like a charm
greets
Thanks a lot! That worked great!!!! The key was there actually in my case and was set to d/M/Y. Changing it to dd/MM was simple enough. I tried changing the setting through the Control Panel applet and I observe that whatever setting I change it to gets to be stored in HKLM\nls\overrides under SSDte and once I change it to anything but dd/MM this option is no longer in the drop down. Thanks for the pointer.
Would you also happen to know where I need to go for changing the time format from 12H to 24H? My Today screen shows 4:56 right now and I would like to show 16:56 if possible. Your help is most appreciated.
Time Format
Let me first clearify that what I told you is the same as told by zabes64.
The time format is done in the same registry part
If there is a key STFmt then change this if it is not then create it (string type)
The time format is as follows:
H 24 hours no leading zero
HH 24 hours with leading zero
m minutes no leading zero
mm minutes with leading zero
s seconds no leaing zero
ss seconds with leading zero
Think you would enter something like HH:mm:ss of HH:mm etc.
Choice is yours
markutah, thank you sooo much!!! this worked great! Now I know one more way to make my XDA look & work just the way I like it. Thank you very much!

markutah or anyone else, I have followed these instructions perfectly and I get the date in the correct format and the time in 24 hour format but no matter what I do it will not show me the seconds....I am missing something or is this not possible.
a small digital clock glued to your chosen place on the screen would be ideal, no impact on ram or storage either.

Thanks, very curious. Just tried to do this again (ROM reinstalled). Date & time great except for seconds. Rebooted, and now my PocketBreeze does not display on the Today screen. Go to settings and it is still checked off, tried rebooting still nothing.
I have only 7 items in my settings and 6 are checked.
Removed these settings and rebooted, PB is back.
hello!
hope this makes sense!
at the top of the today page there is the display for the date.......
it normally reads "Friday 01 July 2005"
but on my device (qtek s100 1.12 rom) it only displays "01 July 2005" the day has gone???
this only seems to happen after installing some programs, but its dosnt seem to be a specific one?
hope someone can help
many thanks
Mark
I have the same thing here. But if I put my regional settings back to Dutch it does display the date thing the right way, but in Dutch. (And that doesn't make sense if evertything else is in English) I have the regional settings on English and it doesn't say which day of the week it is.
If your regional settings are US then it displays the Day, but UK doesn't.
Sucks :evil:
You can customise the date display on the today screen. You need a registry editor and need to add a new registry key.
Browse to:
\HKLM\nls\overrides
and add a new STRING value called SLDte
Its value can be a combination of:
d - One/two digit day number
dd - Two digit day number
ddd - Abbreviated weekday name
dddd - Full weekday name
M - One/two digit month number
MM - Two digit month number
MMM - Abbreviated month name
MMMM - Full month name
y - One/two digit year number
yy - Two digit year number
yyy - Full year number
On mine, my SLDte key is set to
dddd, d MMMM yyyy
so today it displays "Friday, 1 July 2005"
Hope that helps...

Register strings
Hi
I just made the changes to the registery. works great.
Coul somebody please tell me how many entries they have in
nls\overrides
It looks like i could have deleted 1 by mistake. I only have 3 inc the date change string.
many thanks
kev
Qtek s100
thank you now have the day back!
Many thanks for that tip. Do you know if there any simple way to put the time on the same line too, there's probably space and it would work well there. No worries if not, it's on the bar above anyway.
Andre
I've had a problem almost since I bought my K-Jam where I can't change the clock from 24hr to 12hr...17:04 to 7:04pm. After the ROM upgrade, it went back to 12hr mode....I was happy. Now, for some reason, it's back to 24hr mode...no matter what changes I make within Regional Settings I can't get it to go back to 12 hour mode.
Any thoughts on this?
Tom
Often overlooked in the regional settings\time change h:mm:ss to h:mm:ss:tt (scroll up) that should do it.
If not u have a bug

I had the same problem...the critical point there is SCROLL UP...the dropdown (at least for me showed 2 items) and I didn't realize that I could SCROLL UP to see the non 24 hour settings.
I am having the same problem, but I knew about the regional settings and tried to change it several times, nothing works. It's stuck on 24 hour time.

use this reg tweak
Code:
HKLM\nls\overrides\STFmt = "hh:mm t" (REG_SZ string, no quotes)
Please note that the single 't' only shows P or A in the Taskbar and the Clock/other applications. If you use 'tt' it will show as 'PM' and 'AM' in the Clock/other applications, but it doesn't display at all in the Taskbar.
I prefer h:mm t or h:mm tt so you get no 0 before time
or you can try h:mm tM if you want aM displayed in the task bar and don't mind big m - my own tweak
this may do it
You guys are the best!!!!!!
I scrolled up and found what I was looking for. I'm all good now.
I didn't know that I could actually scroll. I used the lower case settings and I'm back to normal.
Thanks again!!!!
Tom
Yay, that was bugging the hell out of me as well.

Hey all,
Does anyone know the registry key to remove the time from the Date Plugin?
Thanks in advance
did u try trinityhacks v0.3?
there is an option for showing the date on a single line.
Hey achuen, no problems getting the date plugin to show on a single line.... my only problem is trying to toggle the time display in "Date" today plugin. Some roms display the time and some don't..... Thanks for the advice though

Sometimes Single Line Date hack is not enough, it's still 2 line on those lose QVGA when the week date and the month is both too long, like Wednesday, December 02, 2009...
Must hack into \\HKLM\nls\overrides\SLDte

Hello,
Is it possible to get the information about the day (Sun, Mon etc) in M2D Home Tab?
I tried changing the date on the left side top of M2D Home Tab, by changing the regional settings(or HKLM\nls\overrides) but to no avail.
This link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446406) tells me its not possible.
Now is there an possibility to customize M2D (customizing HTCHomeSettings.xml) to display the day of the week anywhere else on the screen?

No you cant change, unless you use the newer M2D versions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398173
Success!!
I did manage to change the date and to display the day of the week on M2D.
I got this information while browsing another forum (Jade). The thing missing was the "HKCU\MUI\Curlang" registry edit.
Thanks nikmaster74 and azahidi.
For your reference:
8) Change Date Format on TF2D Home Tab - Credit to nikmaster74 for pointing this reg edit.
Check registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - if value is 1033 (decimal), most likely the date format will be american format (mmm dd, yy). Changing registry <SSdte> at this state will not change the date format at Home Tab.
How to change ?
Go to registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - change value 1033 to 409 (decimal) - Save - Soft Reset >>> date on Home Tab will change to format dd/mm/yy (depending on what's at <SSDte>).
Now, if you want to change to other formats, go to HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte and put whatever format you wish.
e.g. ddd dd/MM/yy will return a date Thu 29/01/09. Note: doing this will also change date format at other tabs like emails, messages, file folders, etc.
