Hi
I've been looking hard with no success.
How to remove the status line from the Today screen in Qtek 9100/WM5.0. It shows WiFi and Battery status - which I don't need here - while taking the precious space...
Any idea?
Help please!
Sorry to post again here but I can't believe that there is nobody suffering from this and that there is nobody who has solved the issue until now.
There are so many Today screen plug-ins that show the information, not to mention the information is useless here - I believe.
Please let me know if it's me being a mega-geek finding ways to make something better or the answer is so simple that nobody bothers to post.
:?
if it is that important to you - here's your solution: remove Init_Tray.lnk from "\windows\start up", restart and you are done.
did i help you? then recommend me
cheers, lutz
Thats not what makes the tray. That program adds the Wifi and battery bar. You have to take out any program that uses the tray. If a program uses the tray , then the tray is automatically created.
isn't that exactly what the guy has there? why do you jump in here? if you have any other problem than kristo_ch feel free to ask....
cheers, lutz
Shame on me. So simple. Thanks lutzh.
simple if you know it. i always erase anything in start up in the first trials. trouble here was that i haven't got it back when i wanted it back

Perhaps the self proclaimed "guru" is jealous he didn't know the answer (although it's not a complete solution, as some apps like PI will bring it back, but it's a start - thanks lutz!).
i totally agree with you!!!!!!
cheers, lutz
I don't get what's going on. Why aren't people playing nice?
The Tray can be made to not be present, by removing all tray-able apps.
However, the tray can be programmatically brute force hidden if required, even if full of apps.

Hell yeah!
Working on putting it into usable form for you guys, not quite finished yet:

This is hiding the tray and minimising the soft keys down to 2 pixels at the bottom. For those who like it tidy.
I'll optionally minimise the start bar to 2 pixels as well.

thats cool!!!!
the rest above is only fun, i don't want to harm anyone at all!

Is this already released??
topcaser: No not yet... I'm working on it between lots of other things, but it needs to be compatible with WM5 and WM2003 and they both require very different techniques. WM5 version is done though, but not released:

255%
Hey VJ,
I too want a battery which I can charge beyond 100%!!! ;-)
I would have to adjust the e_stat app to show it though....
yeah, 255% battery is cool. You can see into the future. it's cold though, -5 degrees C
V
How do you get 100%. If I read the batstat I get a percentage.
And where did you get the temperature from?
Bye,
Thijs.
Doezel: temperature is built into the battery, from the battery api.
I don't understand the "100%" battery.
The 255% is coming just from the emulator having fits!
V
VJ:
I get it. I use evc4, and use getbatterylifepercent, which returns a value between 0 and 100. It's not a byte.
Which IDE do you use?

Is it possible to remove the Calendar and Contacts bar at the bottom of the Today Screen?

I don't think there are any registry hacks etc that seem to do the job yet.
I've written a program that will do it, but it's not quite ready for release.
No soft keys:

V
Vijay, this looks great!!! Any estimates on when you might be able to release it? Thanks a lot!!!
k_kirk: It cleans up the WM5 Today screen quite a lot. They really made a mess with the Tray and the soft buttons taking up space. 33% of the screen is taken up by non Today stuff on the Today screen.
But there are a lot of options I have to think about:
-No start bar
-Minimised start bar
-Tray/No tray/Moved tray
-No soft keys
-Minimised softkeys
-In QVGA/VGA/Portrait/Landscape
-WM2003 and WM5
And I have to make this interact well with another plugin I wrote for it. It bends my brain and I have to stop thinking about it from time to time.
I had expected it to be finished by around now, but I got caught up learning TAPI for VJOkButt, and now I'm busy again on VJElectrify and a couple of other things. But hopefully, if I can concentrate a bit, I'll try to finish it. I want to get the basic WM5/WM2003 version out in the next week or so. But no promises I'm afraid

lol @ battery level (255%) and temperature (-5 degs).
Not quite ready for release, you say? Are you developing in the deep freeze?
j/k
SiliconS I already got told off for that... To test VJToggleToday for WM5, I needed to over fill the screen to measure the placement of the scrollbar. I couldn't find enough fat plugins so I used my old VJAudioNotes. Obviously the emulator's a cool dude!
Frankly I'm quite surprised VJAudioNotes works at all on WM5, but it works well on my universal It doesn't use any dodgy API so it should work fine I guess.
V
Update?
Vijay,
Any update on this? I would love to get rid of the soft keys displaying on my XDA Exec, they seem such a waste of valuable screen space.
Gaz
gazza99: I'll be posting some info in the next couple of days. Unforunately not directly related, but an interesting development.
It came out of ToggleToday research, so I'm kind of working on ToggleToday. But when you see what the "thing" is, you'll understand why I stopped for a little while... VJSihaya, coming soon.

Hey all, i'm always in a hassle to find a good battery monitor for my magician, i've tried a lot of them and it seems any make my day... so what are you guys using?
edit: keep the small and usefull utilities comming
I'm using the icon that comes with SPB gprs Monitor, it's small, clear (though hard to see what's exact state) & it doesn't cost me any space, since I want to see the gprs connectionspeed anyway.
Regards, M
I use the resco today plugin to display me the battery status. It looks clean on my today screen

Lets you close apps and can show a battery/memory meter too.

hummm maybe if i change the topic to "Your nice and small memory saving utilities" this could become a very usefull thread...
Yeah I'm glad I'm following the board for a few months now. There are some threads full off good little apps. & other tips. It's only very hard to catch them all in one aggregated thread.

Btw:
- DKToday to keep an eye on my phone/sms bill, BT switching & signal strength
- VJOkButt to close apps
- CabInstl to install where I want to
The battery icon in the topbar of new ROMs bothers a lot of people on this forum! Levenum has posted in his topic in the 'development & hacking' section a (partial) solution to our problem! His program works! But covers also the volume indicator For now: congrats to Levenum!!!

Wow that's great. However, I am sure that most don't want to do an addition by subtraction. Hopefully, somehow this can be tweaked even further to just cover the battery and not anything else.
Yeah.. moreover.. I think most people want to get rid of the battery and put the standard time back there, rather than essentially 'skin' the taskbar by slapping a clock on top. You may also wonder what happens, for example, when using MagicButton - does it cover up the Magic Button bar if it's set to "entire taskbar" ?
it works also well with MagicButton.......
Works for me No problems with Magic Button so far.. ..the time is nicely hidden when "Cover Full Title Bar" is selected

For as long as there is no other BETTER solution to the taskbar time problem, I think this is the best way for now. You're free to develop a tool yourself but i'm verry gratefull to Levenum!
wooo, calm down I'm sure it is the best solution for now, and I'd be happy to use it if I were on the AKU2 rom and it doesn't interfere with other things too much
definitely can't knock people for trying. we need more of that. for me losing the volume icon isn't that big of a deal but what does this cab actually do?
Ok, something wierd is going on here.
I just successfully installed the custom 2.17 ROM on my MDA. I expected to have this problem you've all been refering to about the clock, but I'm not. Mine is still there, same as it has always been. So is the volume indicator.
The only thing I'm missing is the battery icon in the lower right hand of the screen.
Is my phone the devil?
Great work! BTW, you can still edit your volume settings if you click on the "clock" in the top bar, you just don't see its current status. For now its the best and at least someone has tried.
The work IS appreciated!

See the original thread mentioned in the first post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084
Summary: It adds a Today Item which lists both date (on the left) and time (on the right) -including Swatch @Internet time- using a custom string (e.g. "hh:mmtt" = "09:48am"). In later versions, an option to place a clock on the Taskbar (the top bar) was added. This clock simply 'overlays' on whatever may be there otherwise, which would typically be the new AKU2 ROM's battery indicator icon, and for most people the volume icon. Work is currently underway to make that Taskbar clock only appear when the Today screen is active, and have users be able to define the horizontal position of the clock - both to alleviate the issue of overlapping icons that /are/ desired.
I no longer require the Toolbar/Line with Calendar & contacts on my Today Screen on my MDA. How can I delete that from my Today Screen?
Thank you!
Use dcinobar or vjtoggletoday see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54567
Thank you very much. That did it. Works AOK. 'My shout' next time.
Cheers
dcinobar is not working for me. I have a 8125 and im using wisbar advance. I also use phm traylaunch. When i click the dcinobar.exe file, I jus get a bluish bar across the bottom where my softkeys were. My wisbar theme is black btw. How can i fix this?
Anyone have the same problem??

You need a theme that is larger to fit in the space. Try the default tsk or guava bubbles and you will see what i mean.
vjtoggletoday works great for me (Cing 8125). Dcinobar did not.
There is another thread that states to set your vjtoggletoday top bar value to 26 and low bar value to 1. Maybe this is the fix you are looking for.
Yep, there's an OS level "issue" where if you set the softkeys to size 0, the SIP pops up. It can probably be fixed with some misdirection. I'll have to remember.

Thanx Meschle, that deff was the problem. 2 Things though: Is the task manager not suppose to get pushed to the bottom when dcinobar is used?? Does vjtoggletoday push it to the bottom?
Also, I use ThemeGenCE...but how can i make a today screen to fit the bottom??
Guys, VJToggleToday isn't finished yet, I've just not had the energy to get around to it. For now, I think it is supposed to move the tray down, but I can't remember. I'll try to devote some time to it soon, but I'm working mightly hard at work, then baby to take care of in the evening, and a new website to write... I'll try to work on it, I promise!

Any answer to the 1st & 3rd questions??
I don't think VJToggleToday moves the tray, from memory. It's supposed to, but it probably doesn't right now - because when it is finished, it
will do something entirely different with the tray. For now, now idea, can't remember.
For themegen - just use a wallpaper bigger then 320 pixels high: normal wallpapers are 320 - 26 (for the menu bar) - 26 (for the soft keys). Bigger is better, to fill in the gaps now exposed.

PS The "latest" released version was VJToggleToday II alpha I think, on this forum.
Anything after that, use my Pensieve.
EDIT: UNDER DEVELOPEMENT AND WILL BE RELEASED WHEN READY! KEEP AN EYE ON THIS THREAD!!!!
Here's an idea... when you turn your phone off, it locks... when you turn it on, you must roll your thumb/finger to the right around the wheel of the diamond to unlock it...
as you wheel around, the white line around the circle begins to fill from the top, moving rightward around...
sorry for the poor image quality, i just threw it together as a thought.
I hope a developer can throw this together, prolly isn't hard at all and would really be cool for the diamond. Better graphics and glowing line ofcourse.
its simple and utilizes the unique hardware of the diamond, and also the pro.

anyone like?
anyone down to try and create it?
Wish i could, but i have no idea where to start. i'm in the dark here.
to clear up any confusion that may come up, the lights on the wheel itself don't need to light up as you wheel around... only the circle on the screen.
as you would pass a point on the wheel, another section of the ring on the screen would fill in.
Sounds like a good idea. Hope someone have the time to make it.
im sure that 'wheel-2-unlock' is one of the features of the TouchXperience ROM but it would take a long time for this rom to be released i guess.
TouchXperience is a ROM? Not just a cab installation?
http://www.touchxperience.com/en/touchxperience.html
I really want this app....I miss many calls...
sounds good, i hope someone can do it
Ok guys, i got a good man to try and put this together... he's farther along than he thought and will be releasing something when he feels its ready to meet the world!
Sounds like a good idea - I posted something very like it in the AnswerKeys Disabler thread a few weeks ago!
Glad someone has the skills to make it happen!

CapacitiveFingerLock
I am working on such an idea already for a week or so:
CapacitiveFingerLock.
It will have another locking/unlocking mechanism on top of StylusLock, as described in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2681112&postcount=62
Because I am now on a business trip in America, I had not much time to work on the program. But I haven proven already that it works. I have to remove some stuff from the proven program, and integrate it with my already existing StylusLock. The goal is that it does NOT cost extra battery power and CPU and is really simple to use.
The reason to add this, is to have it possible to lock and unlock "one handed". The StylusLock approach cannot be done "one handed", e.g. on a bike. Also some people do not like to operate with the StylusLock. The combination with this new CapacitiveFingerLock and existing StylusLock will suit more people. And sometimes people will use the Stylus, so they will get the right behaviour depended on the usage.
Good idea, as I do not use any locks or such applications, but this one sounds nice. Just remember that this app should not conflict with, or somehow overcover and incomming call

Woohoo, I've been asking for such a thing for weeks now. Do you have a working version already?

Definitely MUCH MUCH better than SensorLock and all the - no need to mention - rest!
Especially because SensorLock is still buggy as hell!
