Eversince I upgraded to 2003 SE, both date & time are being displayed in my taskbar. I would want to remove the date portion or modify the size but i can't see it in the Settings. Could someone help me? If it involves editing the registry, please instruct me how, i have a registry editor ready, although i haven't used it since
Hi
Read "Tweaking BA registry" in BlueAngel's wiki section.
Himalaya Registry is mostly the same, so the date format registry tweak will work for you.
Good luck
Alternatively, if you're lazy, grab a trial copy of Spb's Tips & Tricks which includes this tweak.
thanks mtbsoft,
i already tried the trial version of Spb Tips and Tricks but I couldn't find it from the tweak section. I only found the "Change Date and Time format" in the today screen. What I want to do is to remove the date portion from the taskbar (upper right), as you can see in the image i attached previously. I want it to display just like the W2003 did, just the time, no date.
thanks robal,
Could you please give me the direct link to that "Tweaking BA registry" that you mentioned? I tried searching it but no luck. Thanks
guys, i got it already. i tried the tweak in this thread by dilipc http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25804&highlight=tweak
it works!!!
Glad you got it working, though...

...you looked in the wrong area. User Interface | Change long date format is the one I presume your found (according to its description) but what you wanted was the System | Display date in titlebar option.
ohhh, missed that. thanks for correcting me

I found that entry a few days ago. I tried it, but nothing happens.
What do you can see/do in engeneering mode?
Just tried it. It opened a tabbed dialog that shows all the info the phone is getting from the cellular network.
Tower number, GPRS settings and a lot of stuff I know nothing about. Nice diagnostic tool.
P.S.
funnysurf, did you dial the number correctly? For me it opened the second I entered the last *. (on Jamin, ROM 2.13.9.123)
It works... Latest Dopod ROM.
HTC Engineering Mode
I've been hunting for a way to see this info. I design cellular networks and this stuff is my second language. However, I don't see anything in any fields of GSM Test Mode. They start with "N/A" then immediately go blank. I've done the registry setting but no change. When I do the '*#'-thing, I get nada. Got any clues?
FYI- I found a program called NiceTrack that shows only some of this info, so I know it's in there somewhere, but I need to see more.
jott2me, post your ROM version. On the Dopod's 2.15 it works.
GSM Test Mode
The key word is “built in” If you have a little program GSM TestMode.exe in your windows directory, this registry tweak makes this program visible and executable. Plus don’t forget to soft reset your device in order for registry modification to take effect.
By the way, if you use this data a lot, you can make a shortcut to this utility as to any executable. No need to dial the *# a hundred times. Or just add it to your speed dial…
You guys sure respond fast! Wow! And thanks!
JWalker, here's my info:
ROM version: 1.8.10.2 WWE
ROM date: 12/10/05
Radio version: 01.09.10
Protocol version: 4.0.13.20
ExtROM version: 1.8.10.104
(I've only had this about a month so I'm leary of changing ROM versions.)
aleksandr,
I'm running Spb's Today screen (it's nice) and I've got an icon that puts me right into GSMTestMode.exe when the reg tweak is set to 1. I've reset several times still no luck seeing info. I made a contact with the '*#' stuff but when I dial it, I get, "The number you have dialed..." message.
Am I missing something?
Thanks for your help.
GSM menu
How did you reset your device, programmatic soft reset or with your stylus? Soft reset with stylus will erase registry modifications without saving them. Sorry, don't mean to use "dummy" talk, just want to make sure all proper steps are followed to eliminate all possible reasons in order to find the solution. Another reason for this issue could be in rom, but wait for J. Walker to respond. I'm in the office right now and don't have emulators here to experiment with your rom version. In the mean time make sure you’ve made all necessary registry changes in right registry entries, and soft reset using program, something like Nice start or shut down XP or SPB Pocket Plus reset function.
I've been using TRE to edit the registry then resetting it using the stylus and the hole on the right side. Every reg change I've made shows up after a reset as changed. I don't know of another way to soft reset it. Even when I've changed it back to 0 to try using JUST the GSM Test Mode.exe, it won't work. That's proof that the registry does see the changes (I think).
(... and I'm the newbie here so "dummy" talk is A-Okey doke w/ me.)
Guess, it is a good idea to change to 2.x ROM. The only thing I know that it works fine with my original S200 with Dopod's 2.15.13.27 ROM. It much morу stable and fast, so you will got the better feeling
Hi,
on Vodafone ROM 2.15.3.26 GER it does not work. I create an Link to \Windows\GSMTestMode.exe and do it that way
I tried creating the link to GSMTest but that still didn't work. I think I'm going to have to change ROMs. I'm very reluctant because I don't know where or how to get and install one. I've seen that this site is full of talk about ROM upgrades, but I haven't seen one that tells me how to do it.
The thing is that what I'm really really after is not just the GSMTest screen so it may or may not even involve a new ROM. What I really want is to learn where the info is hiding and how to display it and make some of it usable in graphical format (something like "NiceTrack" does but with all the info not just a couple fields). It's more of a programming thing. So if anyone knows where this info is stashed and how to read it, I'd go that direction. I thought that GSMTest would be a quick & easy step toward what I'm after.
any change someone could add the gsm test program. I did found the engineering key in the registry, but no program in the windows directory and entering the code on the phonedial pad didn't work as well.
i'm running tuma 1.3 wm5 rom on a qtec 9090

My thoughts exactly... I discovered this site 2 years ago when I had the Xda2 and I'm still amazed at the information that I can dig up here. Guess some of us have the privelege of playing with our gadgets more than others...
i had to go into the props of the file and change it from hide. i also had to use resco and searched for the file name and changed it there. from there i copied the file and choose poaste shortcut to the windows\start menu\programs
Okay okay...I know there are already a few CAB files with performance tweaks, but I made one (my 1st CAB file ) with the settings I like!
You can download 2 versions, one for Dutch users (like me) and one for WWE users.
I have 2 different versions because of a Today Item tweak with the Calendar and on Dutch Roms this is called Agenda.
I know that most of the settings here are also in apps like Registry Wizard, but this CAB files executes way faster then installing and configuring Registry Wizard
A little note: You can uninstall the program, but the settings will stay in the Registry so you have to change them manually!
Regards,
Molski
UPDATE (04-08-2006):
I updated the file to file into one file for Dutch and WWE users, I almost forgot about this file so I still didn't mention what all the registry changes are doing, but like Dr. Puttingham said....in the Wiki you can find everything back!
This file also consumes about +/- 1-2 MegaByte from your RAM Memory, but hey...what do you like more...More RAM or More Speed?
p.s. Here you can see which Registry Settings are applied in the CAB files:

Thanks molski, could you include a list of what all the reg tweaks do, for those not so techie, either in a post or txt or doc format, cheers.
I will....when I have some more time, I barely had the time to make this CAB file for myself
Nice going. My files are downloaded 14 times already, so I guess people find my files useful?
If so, please let me know, I will see what more I can create or adjust
I had a huge load of support with my questions on this forum, so it's nice to finally do something back for the community

Molski
any chance you can explain what exactly the tweaks do?
Hi, is there a guide how to make a cab file that automatically installs registry tweaks? I'd like to make my own custom one, so after a hard reset I don't have to do the tedious tweaking...
Could someone explain how to make one of these CAB files for registry changes? I have searched high and low for the answer.
I did something similar for my 8125. Since I have a tendency to frequently hard reset it, I did a registry file with a bunch of the normal hacks I do, as well as setting up MMS and such. Works like a charm, although I use Resco Explorer with the registry option to do it. I haven't made a CAB file yet.
Saves loads of time after a hard reset.
How might one make this registry file? I'd really like to know.
What do the tweaks do.. .please
Can you tell us what these tweaks do?
@wiredup If you read the WIKI you'll get a lot of knowledge regarding the reg settings. These WM5 changes have been documented countless times here and also on the BA WM5 forum and other places I'm sure.
You can do some googling for more knowledge if you so desire.
molski incorporated these into a very nice cab file that is one of the very first things that I install on all of my devices. His is the most complete so far regarding speed improvements IMO
(Just one of his many contributions)
Thanks again molski!

Tweaks...
You're tweaks seem good so far... Would be nice if you could put what each one does... I am familiar with most thou. I like my GPRS/EDGE Icon to be different, so I went back and changed that. Also are skinny scroll bars actually providing better performance?
I'm gonna try this out for awhile with OMAPSCALER set at 228 (I had it at 240 with random shutdowns before, but I dont think it was overheating) and see how my performance is.
Also there are programs out there that will create CABs that change registry values... i.e. "WinCE CAB Manager"

Does anyone know of the registry fix or plugin or control panel for the XV6800 to change the date/time line on the TODAY screen to a single line?

Thanks, do you (or anyone) know if this works with the XV6800?? I took a look at the Kaiser tweak programs XML files to locate the registry locations for such things as this time/date single line....and the new XV6800 from Verizon doesn't have many of those registry lines to change.
It should work as it's just registry changes. This tool gives you a nice GUI to work with and does all the registry work for you.
Here's a link to it.
Thanks, I will give it a try and report back when I can...finals week.
I am sorry to say that this program does not work with the Verizon XV6800. In fact I would say about 80 to 90% of the current "hacks" "fixes" for the Mogul do not work on this phone.
If anyone finds a solution please post it....
To the ops of this board....you might have to make a new section for the XV6800, just a suggestion.
The plugin "today time" worked.
I had to turn OFF the WM date plugin and just use that one, but it does the trick. FYI!!
Hi all , I need a help
How can I stop listing my recently opened documents??
actually, it is annoying !!! I hope your help friend
by the way, I use appl SKTools 4.21 to clear the list ..... but it is some thing bothering me ....
Thanx in advance for all
if your talking about the recent programs list in the start menu...theres a program called startclean, that clears the list every time you reboot, other than that, i dont know....
theres a link for the startclean.exe somewhere in the forums
the program wisbar advance allows you to not show the recent apps list at all. Its a cool little launcher program that I quite like and have used for a while. I'm trying out Ultimate launcher at the moment but like wisbar more. It is a commercial program but the benefits far outweigh the cost. There is a trial but I'm not sure for how long. Hope this helps.

It won't stop them getting listed as you use them but whenever StartClean (tiny wee cab, lots of copies of it posted around here) will make sure your start menu is clean whenevr you soft reset.
(I cook it into my ROMs every time, so useful).

Sorted....
As I said, Wisbar Advance 3 (for WM06) allows you to NOT SHOW recently used apps. It is part of the settings where you can pick if you want "help", "find", "desktop", "favourites" and recent settings" by ticking/unticking a box. You can also change the indicators across the top and their order. I would suggest this if you dont want to be troubled by "Recent Items" again... Cheers

Mm, I'm pretty sure that this or another app would be the only way to do that and ultramag69's suggestion of Wisbar Advance is probably the most popular option.
Other than that (if you don't want that running - it does do a lot of otyher, clever thigs you might also find yuo enjoy though) I think you'll have to search about, probably with Google or your own perferred search engine. there's probably some freeware aruond to do that task only and therefore be 'smaller' I'd have thought. StartClean does me as I do like to have the programs I just launched sat there but not on boot-up.
Hi,
Found this link. Haven't tried it yet to see if it just removes them temporarily or stops it from listing them, but worth a shot.

Hi all, I seem to be having trouble finding any sort of documentation on how to develop Titanium Plugins for the WM6.5 home screen... Is there any information out there that someone could point me to? My plan is to use Visual Studio 2008 (3.5 .Net) if that makes any difference... Thanks for any help.
Well it's all about interaction with registry. You could also use mortscript. even tho Visual Studio can do it too. You just need to write the needed keys to the registry, and point to them in your .cpr file.

I was trying to figure out a similar thing.
I manually added a panel to Titanium called "Battery". What I wanted was a little tool that put the latest battery charge percentage as the panel name.
After a bit of digging I realised the following code kind of works:
Code:
Dim key As Microsoft.Win32.RegistryKey = Microsoft.Win32.Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Page1", True)
key.SetValue("TEXT1", Status.SystemState.GetValue(Status.SystemProperty.PowerBatteryStrength) & "%")
key.Close()
It does successfully change the name of the first page of the panel to the latest battery charge.
Only problem now is, I can't figure out how to get Titanium to refresh... in other words, how to get it to re-read the registry keys. At the moment, it only works by soft-resetting the phone!

Simply change "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\battery\Updated" from its current value to another.
Has anyone figured out a way to do a registry update or execute a script when a panel/page is selected in Titanium without having to "click" it to update?
Here's what I'd like to do... let's say I have a Twitter panel that retrieves my unread tweets every NN minutes. Sliding left/right switches between the tweets, but as I slide onto a tweet, I want to mark it from UnRead to Read in a registry setting. I currently can "click" it to update the status to Read, but havn't found anyway to do it otherwise.
I asked this awhile ago, the thread sat and went stale with no responses. Just wondering if someone ran across a new trick.

Okay, I have no ability to create panels and such, However I have 2 ideas for panels. One, the BAF Gps Toggle panel and a notes panel where a new page is created for each note (similar to taskanium) Anyone think they could do these?? Attached is the .cab for the GPS toggle if needed.
