Is it possible to hide softkey bar on Today screen - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible to turn off the softkey bar (Calendar & Contacts) as well as the bar above it showing battery, screen orientation, wireless manager etc? I would love to get rid of these and use this space for more Totday plugin real estate. Does anyone know of a way to accomplish this goal? Thanks

That works on wm5 & wm6?

vijay ones work. Also, the new wisbar advance 3 also has this option

Thanks for a quick reply.
But as I have seen some users have problems with vijay's software, as it is not developed completely.
And I dont want to use wisbar...not any more.

Other users faced some problems, not me. But I guess that they had some problems because of theirs WM6 rom's that may had some isses.
Btw...used the app. and I love it.

Try this program I'm running wm6.1 and have problems with dcinobar, vjtoday, and WA but this worked flawlessly!

[Looking for] Today plugin to toogle wifi, radio and bluetooth

Hi all,
I'm looking for a small today plugin that would allow me to toogle wi-fi, bluetooth and radio at the touch of an icon. Simple, straightforward and lightweight.
I know there are already applications that do it, like Phoneweaver and others, or Vijay's Volubilis (command-line only), but I'm really looking after that simple and effective plugin -- I'm sure it has to exist somewhere.
And if one could customize the icons to use for the toggles, it would be heaven
Thanks a lot in advance !
Hi, this works good for me.
You can also look for BatteryStatus today plugin. It has an TrayLaunch, with I use to activate wlan, bluetooth (a2dp) and can also deactivate phone. Very customizable.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751&highlight=batterystatus
I think effcom is what you are looking for. Found on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1395099&postcount=1
This is my whirless.cab (Effcom)
Sorry, you're right. I didn't actually check out your attachment, just looked at the name.
yes effcom is the best one
effcom seems a perfect solution, thanks to all of you. Any chance there is a way to customize it so it uses icons instead of text ?
anyway to make that part of the systray instead of on the today screen?

Battery Status give you the option of placing Bluetooth, Wifi and Phone in the Systray. Very handy...and takes minimal space.
I tried that BatteryStatus, but it doesnt give me the "traylaunch" tab. i asked about that, but the developer couldnt assist me. if you can help me, i have a kaiser att tilt tytnii, many names.
Try SPB Phone Suitehttp://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/products/phonesuite/?en. It has a today plugin, that includes Radio On/Off, Bluetooth On/Off, WiFi On/Off and much more. This is in case your device is a pda phone of course.

Best customization apps

Hi there!
I was wondering on which are the best apps to customizate our Cruises...
Does anybody know the best of them that don't slow down the system (as iFonz)???
If you can provide names and pictures...
Thanks!

iFonz not customize Polaris, him disfigured it.
For tuning used Advanced Config Tools by Schap.
OK, that's true. I specify a bit more: apps to visually customizate Cruise (or Windows Mobile 6)...
S2U2 for blocking the keyboard and the screen like the iphone

WisBar, PhoneAlarm, Spb Mobile Shell and many others stuff with skins.
But, when I tried it all, I return to HTC Home and Ultimatelaunch. The best things for my Orbit2 (Polaris).

I tried WisBar. It's Ok, but I finally uninstalled it...
SPB Mobile, pretty good one, but it could be better if it fully replace the Today screen, not being an application to launch. I uninstalled it as well.
PhoneAlarm... I haven't tried it.
S2U2 it's OK too. I still have it.
I think I'm gonna do as you, Henry Lee: returning to HTC Home. I think it's one of the best with the most common functions and very light.
Thanks everybody! If you know about more applications... keep posting!

GSen (SKKV Software)

Anyone tried this app on the athena? (as it also has an accelerometer) If so does it work?
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_util.html#gsen
Would be brilliant if it works but my hopes aren't high as I couldn't find anything on the topic.

looks like a nice tool, but after I installed on my Ameo I tried to use GSen Version 1.40.
But a window popup with following message :
cannot connect to GSensor (1)
mhh, doesn't run on Ameo ... and delete it ...
Ameo, t-mobile ROM version 6
btw: I've now asked the developer why GSen is not running on Ameo ... hope I get an answer..
Accelerometer
Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino
I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.
I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.
IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

could you please provide the new vueflo.dll for the old devices ?
If it only a dll to change that should be not a problem, or ?
btw: I've asked the developer, but he told me that he is to busy and have no time in the moment to update this programm.
Thanks for this. It is a great find. Works well with my X7510.
This is a must have application for the X7510. It is just amazing.

For some it is a must have. For others, it is an annoyance and irritation.
only because we can't get it working!
Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.
After the initial few minutes of novelty, I was already wanting to switch it off.

Thanks for the info, but I still far prefer assigning rotate screen to a hardware button and just press that when I want to rotate.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

Screen rotation is fast on mine. Might be ROM or today screen related in yours.
The speed you can change in settings: #timeout(value) - default value 1000 ms

X7500 (Ameo) with AP4 or AP5
I have tried it, but still I get the message that the gsensor cannot be found.
Edit:
Oeps it just start working. I noticed the veuflo was disabled.
can anyone post those .dll files, so others can use them? thanks

[release-updated 9/1] nueNoBar 1.3

Hello,
I have coded a replacement for dcinobar, which hides the bottom bar on the today screen, letting you use it for your today screen plugins. Unlike dcinobar, nueNoBar works with the latest wm builds (WM6.1 build 20000+). If dcinobar works on your ROM, use that instead, this is really for those new builds dcinobar's method doesn't work on.
edit: updated to 1.3, hopefully fixes more problems some people were having.
Download it from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx ...
Thanks heaps. Good to see a much-requested app updated to the latest WM version.
On a side note, how come your rad nueLED isn't on your website ?

it doesn't work on my niki
it give error during installation
Does not work on my Diamond with WM6.1.
I installed the CAB, rebooted and nothing happens, the softkeys are still visible.
Do I have to start a program to activate the hiding of the softkeybar ?
Hello, looks nice, but after installing it on my WM6 dvice there doen't seem to be any change after a soft reset. Is there something extra i need to do to use this?
looks like if the cab file is incomplete... not any file installed on my ppc... Wei Enterprise directory was not even created...
I got it working by manually stopping and restarting the nuenobar service.
However it also hides my phonealarm, see the screenshots (before/after) for an example.

cool it works! thanks for the tip!
and thanks no2chem for the program (because vjtoggletoday didn't work any more since i upgraded to wm6.1....)
doesn't vjtoggletodayalphaII does exactly the same thing? (also hides the systray)... that's what i'm using.

Probably yes ( if it works OK as I do hope).
vjtoggletodayalphaII and dcinobar weren't working with the latest ROM builds as stated by no2chem on the 1st post.
dcinobar works fine on WM6.1 for me.
good to see what i am missing with the new builds allthough it is not fully working yet for me. for me it is working, but only after restarting the service. after every softreset i have to restart it over again.

me too, i havent had any problems with dcinobar on 3.2.5 and 3.2.6, or any of JD's roms from ppcgeeks (his builds are a bit different though, i think). just started using it really, but havent had any problems.
seems weird to me that it works on some of ours but not others.

okay, I will check why you need to manually start and restart the service as well as phone alarm. most likely, i moved the bar down too low, and phonealarm is checking the position of the bar.

directory is not used, it just installs a single 10kb dll "nueNoBar" to your \windows dir.
Good news.
I also need to resart the service, but it's working for Tomal v8.2.
Maybe the service needs to be started with some delay in order to work.
cheers.

Well, you can easily just run the app from menu...
Does the panel has the same functionality as the app you launch from the Programs menu?
