Removing soft menu buttons in WM5?

Anyone knows how to remove the bottom soft menu buttons (messages/calendar bar) at the bottom?
:roll:

Are you talking about the soft menu buttons (the menu bar right at the bottom of the screen?).
V

..
aha that is what it called? :shock:
yes i mean the soft menu thingy ;o) it is covering some of my fine vga theme art LOL
:twisted:

hmmm
Anyone?

Have you tried WisBar Advanced with WisBar Desktop???
It is a great set of programs that gives you the ability to hide the soft buttons
www.lakeridgesoftware.com

ehh
YEAH YOU ARE RIGHT LOL
but that slows down the Universal sooo much, i actually got my idea from WAD (wisbar advanced desktop).
I would like just a hack or so! then it would show my theme perfectly in landscape mode too..
Love the speed of my Universal now! only got pocketbreeze 5 installed! perfect.
So? any code hackers here? or .cab makers (soft menu buttons off and soft menu buttons on cab)??

dvl, this is discussed elsewhere on the forum. I believe that Wisbar desktop advance allows you to hide the soft buttons in Wisbar, but these menus bars are made per application.
I've made an app to hide the bars on the Today screen but it only works on WM2003 yet, NOT wm5. In fact I believe that it does hide the bars in WM5, but it doesn't allow you to use the space (yet). This is how it looks on WM2003se:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
That's discussed here:

This is NOT wm5 yet, but as soon as I get a new copy of visual studio 2005 I'll fix it. It WILL work, just have to wait a while :wink:
If you want to generally hide the bars, I've made a program to do it, but you have to replace the bars with something: you'll just end up with a bit of empty space there otherwise. I've made a program to do that too,
but that's not generally available yet. eg full screen calendar hack.
Oh, and fullscreen terminal services:
V

hmm
i actually look for a way in hiding it like wibar advanced desktop does it, removing it and showing what is behind it (wallpaper).
just replacing it with another image is not what i actually am looking for.
I am sure a lot of people know exactly what i mean ;o) something like wisba advanced desktop without having to use that resource hogging program self LOL
:twisted:

Eh? That's what all my programs do (on wm2003se anyway!)
V

ehh
ok email it to me lol. lets see if it works on wm5 LOL

dvl: the link is already posted above. As I said, it doesn't work on WM5, or at least not properly, so I don't recommend it right now, although hopefully in a week or so I'll have the new VS 2005 and can finish the damn thing off. For now it will remove the soft menu buttons, but NOT fill the space up (on WM2003 it expands your today screen, which is why that thread is called "16% bigger today screen" or something...)
Follow that thread and try it, but as I said, it doesn't work as designed yet. You might ask why I'm mentioning it then: because no one else has come up with a solution to remove the bars, and I'm just highlighting that it can be done, by anyone. My own version will be here soonish.

VJ! FULL SCREEN TERMINAL SERVICES!!!! This is just too bloody awesome for words...I stopped following that thread when I figured no-one was gonna solve it. I'm off to contribute GBP10 to your WM5 fund right now - please keep my real name out of any messages.
Hangin in there for JasJar compliant:
- VJDialer (works on other wm5 devices I hear, not the JJ tho)
- ToggleStart (tho not sure it'll be any use until PhoneAlarm works on WM5 AND VGA <- I'm correct in believeing there are no VGA skins, hey?)
- This full screen TS capability!!
For others who want to see VJ working on his apps, use this paypal link to contribute to his VS2005 and WM5 device costs:
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webs...ency_code=GBP&bn=PP-DonationsBF&charset=UTF-8

craigiecraigie4 - wow, thanks man! I'm getting to my WM5 device slowly, although your donation even distracted my better half from her CSI this evening!
I did the fullscreen terminal services mainly as a response to your pleading, thought you'd already seen it! Have you posted in the other thread?
Hopefully, as soon as I get a copy of Visual Studio 2005, I'll get it sorted out in beta.
Thanks again!

Memory flood

Hello,
I own a Qtek S200 and I have loaded it with every possible ROM without solving my problem. The problem is a very strong memory leak.
After a reset I have something like 17 mb free. At the end of the day I end up with around 5 Mb and here we go for another reset.
I am using SPB Pocket Plus so every task I start is completely closed when I am done with it.
Does anybody have the same problem? Is there any solution?
Thanks

xtrips - great topic title! A+ for effort
You'll have to detail what software you've got installed, and for your own benefit, try hard resetting and running the device without any software installed to confirm the location of the leak. Frankly advice is going to be - hard reset, re-install one app at a time and run it for a while, until you find the one that leaks.

Hi, I'm having the same kind of problems, never got time to test and check if it's software or OS related..

Need help!
Hi,
I just want to know how much RAM do you have left after a soft reset and if it holds an acceptable amount of free ram in the long run.
I have tried every available ROM on my S200 and I usually run the following softwares:
- SPB diary, weather, time, insight
- Wisbar Advanced
Well after soft reset I have something like 18 Mb free but after an hour it gets to 10. The morning after I only have 6 or 5. At this point it is useless to try to run anything. It just freezes.
I usually do at least 2 or 3 soft resets a day.
I am sick of it and I would like to know if anybody shares the same experience?
Thanks

Ditto here too, a memory leak of some sort. Installed SKs soft to 'get back' the RAM which just sends hibernate calls to running soft and has them free up what RAM they have accumulated thus far. I also found that at the end of the day my filesys.exe, gwes.exe and my shell32.exe have trippled or even quadruppled in size and anything I try to free up the RAM is futile - soft reset gets it back to around 18MB. By the way I don't have any SPB Software installed either, it probably isn't any faulty soft, I am thinking that it has to do with these ROMs that we flash with. When the original QTEK ROM was installed the RAM at boot was already at 18 - 20MB and now with 2.20.7.34 it starts with 2.2MB and then jumps back to +/- 18MB after about 10 seconds or so... something in there is clanking around somewhere but I am not a mechanic.
Just my input, I would like to not have to do 2 or 3 reboots per day too...

Hi there, just found that loaded app's dlls won't be unloaded, even if you use a task manager to really close the apps. That seems intended by design, it's not a memory leak (as they won't be loaded again the next time you start that app).
So.... if you use few apps, either intensively or not, you won't have to restart your ppc all the time. BUT if you use many (many) apps, even if you only launch them once per day, you may have to reboot everyday once your memory will be completely filled with those dlls. EVERYTHING uses dlls (and they have not much in common), including creating a new contact, new task, viewing your calendar, launching a settings applet, etc.

i have got the same problem, using AKU 2.3 ROM, which ROM are you guys using? And what today plugins have you got?
I have:
luncher
spb diary 2.2.1
ptravelalarm 2.7 beta

Don't bother....

I've been evolving around the same set apps loaded in my PDA from the beginning, on the other hand I tried 'almost' all the AKU's around and i can tell you that:
- only when I tried AKU's 3.x or WM6, and only then, I could clearly notice a serious improvement in memory management.
I was always blaming the software I was installing but i ran many tests including running my PDA with the OS only, not even loading Extended ROM stuff. Well my S200 always behaved badly.
The problem is these AKU's are still very buggy and i had to reverse back to the release Qtek version 2.2 os.
It's the worse for memory management (i wake up sometimes wit only 2.3 mb memory lesft to use!) but it still is the most stable and all features works.
That's all.

has anyone thought of a way around this? or a way to increase RAM for that matter? i've been using PocketIE and after 3 or more additional windows via spb pocketplus, the prophet slows down drastically or worse it hangs when i check the RAM it's already critically low.. i tried rebooting the prophet and running only PocketIE again through GPRS (3 windows again) still the same thing.. slows or hangs.. any workarounds here? BTW im using iMate ROM 2.13.9.23WWE if it helps.. RAM starts up at 18MB..

Hi, having same problems here with ram. Maybe we could just stop some processes we don't use form start up. For instance
Input method; i just use kboard, not handtype or phonepad
Dictionary
MMS
GPRS
Speedialing...
The question; HOW TO!?

Maybe you could try the little proggie OxiosMemory to get rid of the trash without having to soft-reset. Can be found typing OxiosMemory in Google.

That's WM6 running on there, with what looks like the HTC Cube. Check out the Wizard Mobile 6 forum for more info on running WM6 on yours.

Nope...
Hey Sam,
I just checked... This is not the cube. It's some other type of plugin and I just can't figure out which.
By the way, would you use this one or actually go with touchflo? I know it might be one big step up, but there's just something about too much "touching of the screen" that bothers me quite a bit...
Phil

Looks like the HTC Touchflo/cube, HTC home, HTC Audio Manager and some SPB thing (either mobile shell or pocketplus)?

tell me more...
Hey Draw,
I thought so too at first. But then I figured it's something else. So if it's not the cube or the touchflo, what can it be?
Damn, I'd really like to upgrade my 8125 to the best software. Aside from this one, which do you think is the best?
Phil

A lot, if not all, of what you see there can be mimicked with a combination of the following apps:
rlToday, see also their forums for many skin examples, and how to use this and the other two items i'll mention here...
mortscripts
sys2reg
While rlToday isn't being updated any more, the utilization of mortscripts led to the creation of sys2reg, which is essentially an entire library of mortscripts. Mortscripts can be called from within rlToday like any other program. Some people throw in Vijay555's tools as well... The mortscript library is capable of mimicking a lot of the dynamic information display seen in HTC's more interesting interfaces, as well as a lot of the stuff being done in the iPhone's home screen. Mimicking harder things like the animation associated with the touchflow cube is much harder, but I'm sure someone has made it work...

About touchflo...
Alright Myr,
This is where you might be able to help me out...
I decided to install touchflo on my wizard. I upgraded it and the rom to WM6 with IPL/SPL 2.26. I got the Touflo RUU G4 version and tried to install...
Unfortunately, it's giving me what I call the screen of death. That screen that has multicolored band and is a frozen image. I have to then pull the battery out and restart it. It then goes back to wm6.
I've erased all the extra programs on the phone, the htc home plugin, the 6 button plug-in and even the battery status plugin. Still a problem.
Now what do I do? By the way, I tried to install all the stuiff you mention in the last post, bu they sort of all failed... Now I'm focussing on Touchflo.
Phil

Sorry, Phil. That's where you lost me. I'm still running my stock WM5, and only recently bothered unlocking the SPL so I can upgrade if something really tickles my fancy. To be honest (and to be consistent in my comments) I probably won't update to WM6, but I wanted the option, just in case. In your case, that's the change I would suspect the most. Try going back to your stock OS.
I run HTC Home on my wm5, and only had to sacrifice the weather page (I use a much preferred Mortplayer for music, and so didn't even count turning off the audio manager tab as a loss). With a shortcut in the app launcher to weather watcher, I only added one tap to getting my weather report, so "who cares?"

Just to illustrate my point about not needing to upgrade...here's my screen, with the four tabs I left active...
(I goofed one of the tabs, the app launcher...will fix later, or not at all)

very cool!
Hey Myr,
How'd you do that??? By the way, being the persistent person I am; I finally got touchflo working on my wm6 phone. It's weird that it needed was to hold the USB button (left softkey) on the phone during the screen of death... And then it proceeds to activate the installation. Don't ask, I just lucked that one!
Anyways, is that screen touchflo? Or it that 6-button htc home plugin? I had to sacrifice my battery status plugin... It seems to give me problems everytime I installed it on touchflo; any idea why?
Phil

It's the HTC Home plugin, but I've modified it using the HTC Home Customizer from pocketemu.com to only have 4 buttons, and to change the appearance a bit.
Below that is rlToday, a programmable UI that's running some neat tricks. For example, I can tap the antenna and toggle wifi, and tap the BT symbol to toggle that. Below that is just the stock appointment plugin.
BTW, there are some that have modified rlToday to act and look like the HTC Home plugin. It's a bit slower than the actual one, because it's reloading the home screen, but it's effective in WM5. The actual Home plugin works much faster though.

Thanx for the info...
Hey Myr.
Thanks a lot for the info. But I'm not going to try to add anything to my phone as of yet. Not until I can solve the calnot.exe / clocknot.exe / reg??? problem.
Simple, it's driving me nuts! It actually invades my screen, sometimes freezes my phone... I've hard reset my phone twice, reinstalled the touchflo / cube software and ried several patches. No luck... Do you know what can be done to remedy this problem?
Phil

Nope, sorry. Try searching these forums, especially the WM6 forum for Wizard. If no love, post your error messages/symptoms there (this is a generic wizard forum, and you've loaded wm6, so you really need to ask people who've done what you've done).

Yeah, thank you very much.
I really missed a working actionscreen on the TP2.
Due to the new Bluetooth driver the one for the Xperia wasn't working anymore.
You made me as happy as with your ROMs back then

sorry, but can you tell me what is it and what does it do?
(sorry for my english)

Have a look at the screenshot. It's an action screen that allows you to select certain actions like new SMS, appointment, task etc.
Works nice! Good to see my BT is working with this version.
Gonna make some changes myself:
- Left softkey to ActionScreen
- No conformation for soft reset
Attached the left softkey for who's interested.

Works fine!
Especially the one-click Wifi switch is very clever.
The only thing is the problem of hitting the powerbutton while typing in landscape mode.
It will launch this app while you're chatting, very annoying.

Hello,
This tips is good if you do not use the TF3D ... otherwise it is replaced by the one from the TF3D ...
Do you know where to modify it in the TF3D ?
Thanks.

Personally I am trying to avoid pushing any buttons, I'd rather have an option on the screen like a shortcut in the Start Menu or something.
Would that be possible?

Hello,
In the start menu, it is a shortcut. Not so difficult. After installing the cab above, you will go to "\Windows" folder and you search for "HTCActionScreen.exe" then you make a copy and after you go to the "Start Menu" folder and "Progams" folder and you make a "Paste shortcut".
And this is done.

I think that's the point, if he's anything like me, everytime I type in landscape mode, I accidentally end up holding the power button for 3 seconds with the side of my finger, I'm forever turning of the phone .
Nice app though, just going to put it on.

For those that don't want to confirm the Soft Reset action:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Biotouch\ActionScreen\APP_10]
"Param"="/s"
Attatched the REG file for those that want to import the file to the registry.
Don't forget to make a soft reset afterwards

This is awesome! I would love to have this app. Is there any way to make the icons a bit more colorful? Thanks so much!

hi! congratulations GREAT app.
is there anyway to change the icon (add + contacts) to one (close screen) without suspend the device. it is very useful to who wants to ear music from the speaker phone. cause when you turn of the device the music stops.
tnx in advance

Excellent! Thanks for thinking about us poor TP2 users!

Very interesting appl.
Does someone test it with touch pro stock rom ?(I have the italian one).
Thanks

Smaberg rocks
Welcome to TP2...I have been an avid follower of yours on Xperia forum...great to see you got a TP2.
Look forward to your inputs in making our TP2 way better than the great device it already is!!!

Hmm after installing i tried the application but it doet not work properly.
When i push the I/O button of my TP2 the screen becomes totally black... but when i touch a button (that i dont see) the rolloverbutton appears in green.
What can i do to make it work normally?

Help: Windows won't load; hoping not to hard-reset

Hey guys,
Winmo 6.1
Onyx ?? - don't know exactly which version of the ROM, from sometime in April/09 I think. Previous owner flashed it.
I was playing with the overclocking in HomeScreen++ and the phone got stuck (like it had many times before), but now it won't load windows. I get the white screen with HTC on it, then it stays on the black HTC screen, the one with smaller white HTC writing, and that's it, I never get to the green loading Windows Mobile 6.1 screen.
Tried soft resetting obv, taking out the battery, SIM card, SD card.
Good thing is, I can see all the folders through activesync when I connect it to the PC.
How can I recover it?? And worst case backup all my stuff (tasks, contacts, etc) IF I have to hard reset? (I know...I should have looked into backing up my stuff earlier).
I read the dead/bricked guide but I think this is unique as I'm trying to avoid a hard reset or flash.

How many times have you tried to boot? I think homescreen++ has a failsafe that after x amount of failed boots it kills the overclocking? It may be worth just hammering the resets?
If that doens't work, when I get home tonight I will try to kill one of my Elfs, what did you overclock too?

Click to expand...

Well, it wasn't set to overclock after boot, and it isn't resetting by itself. It isn't even frozen really, you can turn the screen on and off, the backlight turns off after a minute, the touch screen will turn it back on if touched, activesync sees it, so it's a strange situation, it just stays at the second black HTC screen forever. I've tried to boot it lots of times, and when it first crashed, I overclocked to 299, something I had done before both successfully and unsuccessfuly, but always booted back just fine until now.
It may be of relevance, that WiFi was on when it crashed. Perhaps it can't initialize it anymore and gets stuck?
The trick to recovering it has to be by checking/repairing the windows files through activesync, but I don't know what to check or how to repair it.

You said you can see your files with AS. I'd suggest to sync contacts calendar etc, then copy everything you want from device to SD card. Launch Mobiler to see if it's a prob with lcd display. If you can, try to change the HS++ settings.

What is Mobiler? I think the LCD is fine, it goes from the white screen to the black screen (the one with the quick HTC animation). Also, if I call my phone, it's as if it's off, so it's not like it's actually loaded in the background but I can't see it. I don't understand how activesync is able to see it if WinMo hasn't loaded (never gets to the green screen).
Ahh, I really don't want to re-install all my programs and all my settings either (this would be true with a hard reset??)

http://www.mtux.com/

Well that didn't work, here's the screen it's stuck at, from MyMobiler:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

So it's not the lcd, you'll probably need to hard reset. Or if you can remove all the files connected to HS++ with active sync (in case they are the problem)

Will the hard reset bring me back to a clean Onyx ROM or to what the phone came with?
I'd really like to avoid having to reinstall all my programs and settings. Is there no way we can figure out at which part of the boot process it is stumbling and then fix the files that are potentially corrupt? How can I access the registry for example?

Try out CeRegEditor to access the pda's registry from your pc.
If it works, try disabling HS++ since you've told that this was the last thing you were tweaking.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\HomeScreen PlusPlus]
"Enabled"=dword:0
Regards!

Thanks, I'll give it a shot, but I doubt HomeScreen++ is initialized so early in the boot sequence. And do you know what part of the boot sequence this is? Right before the green WinMob screen...
EDIT: Looks like the value was already 0 for "Enabled" and if I try changing it to 1, save, upon reboot, it is back at 0.

OK, so HS++ wasn't responsible.
Here is an idea..
Find with CeRegEditor this key:
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init]
Post here what you see and lets hope we can find something useful.
PS:I think that a hard reset is also an unavoidable way to try fixing this.

Here it is, thanks.

Well, comparing those values with my device's I found nothing wrong.
I think you should just hard reset your pda.
This way you can also see if it is a hardware or a software issue.
I mean if it is a hardware issue, then the hard reset won't do no good.
But if it is a software issue, your phone will regain full functionality.
Regards!

Sigh...alright before I go ahead with that, I want to save as much of my settings as possible. So sync with Outlook (have to install outlook). That should take care of my contacts, emails, SMS? What about like contact pictures for Manilla, etc?
I will just copy the whole device folder to my PC I guess after I sync with outlook, also save the registry from CERegEditor.

Sync to Microsoft my phone keep your contacts pics and stuff if you're able too.

So I copied over pim.vol and that contained all the call history, contacts, even the contact pictures. Lost my SMS, but that's fine.
Updated to Onyx based on WM 6.5.x and couldn't be happier! I was afraid to do this before because of the the warning that the battery won't last as long but it's been just fine, I don't think it's draining any faster than it was with 6.1.
