Can I remove Calendar & Contacts bottom bar on today scr

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

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:
{
"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"
}
Minimised soft keys and start bar (and hidden tray)

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.

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.

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.

cannot find way to change time from 24 hour to AM/PM

I have looked high and low. I cannot find a setting anywhere that will change the time from military time to 12 hour time? Anyone know what i am missing?
Thanks.

Settings > System *tab* > Regional Settings > Time *tab*
Look at the options under "Time style"

when I change the settings under the time tab, nothing changes. Calendar still has 24 hour time. I am truly stumped. Any other suggestions?

Settings > System > Regional Settings > Time
Go to Time Style : Select h:mm:ss tt

the suggestions so far do not work. I have changed the setting followed with a soft-reset with no luck. My time seems to only change from 24 hour to 24 hour.

You can try to change to a different regional setting in the region tab.
Some regions use HH:mm:ss or H:mm:ss which is for 24 hour system
Some reigions use hh:mm:ss tt or h:mm:ss tt which is for 12 hour plus "am" and "pm".

I have also been unable to change the time settings. I learned to live with it..

just to be clear are you both sure you've scrolled up in the time selection field. You have to scroll to the very top. It starts out about 2 down from the top and the format looks very similar. it all needs to be lower case.
If you've done this then I understand your resignation.
Also a thought, what region are you selecting?

Haha. I told a 16 year old what problems I have been having with the time for the last week and he fixed it in about 3 seconds. I simply didnt realize there was a scroll bar on the side. I hadnt scrolled all the way up. I am a goof.
Thanks for all the help.
Mike

Hehe, good call on that mtarro! Glad it's sorted now :lol:

Use Resco Registry editor or other program to Edit Registry: 8)
Add the string values:
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides
create string value:
"STFmt" for h:mm tM
"S1159" for AM
"S2359" for Pm
Then soft reset,

Hardware button for vibrate?

Hi guys,
on my K-Jam (Wizard) press and hold the Comm Manager button would turn the vibrate on and off. This does not work on the TyTn. Is there another button or solution?

Profiles
You can always go to comm manager and select vibe. But I found a more elegant solution, I assigned the comm manager hardware button to this:
http://www.pocketzenphone.net/PZPForum/index.php
Adding profiles is what I needed, can even control wifi and bt state...
It's perfert for one handed use.
Cheers
m

Or use the free one by Vijay.
http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJVolubilis

What I'm looking for is to do it by one button, not profile. Why can't I assign more actions to hardware buttons like press & hold?

Press and hold is a standard OS feature for WinMob. It has to be either application specific, or implemented with a 3rd party app like ButtonMax.
Why it's not a standard feature is a good question

I've heard it'll be coming mainstream to the UK soon, so you'll be able to pick it up without having to pay the import tax... then I'll be the jealous one!
Unless you're on T-Mobile like me... won't get it for about 6 and a half years after the other networks have moved on!!!
One quick Q for you..... this has a mode where you push and hold the END key and it turns the flash on for torch feature, but it says "Please not use torch for a long time, press OK to turn off" do you know with research of your application what is a long time, and how long I can get away with without burning it out?
Cheers!! :-D

VJCandela can burn out the flash, as a few guys discovered. I rewrote it to force the flash off after what I considered a relatively short time, like 30 seconds. I wrote an override, but even then, I force it off after about 1 minute. I'd be careful of keeping it on for longer then bursts of a minute or two.
The LED is clearly not designed for sustained blasts.

Some Problems

EDIT:
Most of the problems in this post is SOLVED!
I have had my P3470 one day now, and I have to say I'm impressed. It's very quick in response, way more than my Qtek8310, which have the same CPU.
But, is it possible to get the kind of HOME where you have a "button" for changing profile?
Like this: (pic from a norwegian cruise)
{
"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"
}
How do I even change profiles on a original P3470? I havn't found anywhere to change the tone-volume.
And, is it possible to get a keyboard like this: (from cruise)
I'll rather have this, cuz my P3470 qwerty-keyboard doesn't have a question mark! The cruize-qwerty seems to have more buttons when pressing shift.
And one more thing, in the quick-start menu, the one on the home-screen where you can have shortcuts to apps, why cant i have shortcuts to a contact, if i want to call that contact much, this would be very time saving.
I would also like to have some hints about a working reg-editor... cant get resco to work, and not PHM.
EDIT:
ALL, but the contacts on shortcuts-menu, SOLVED!

For adding contacts in the home screen you have to press the icon of the person (the pic with the little head and shoulders) and then press on one of the squares with the plus sign in it. Easy as pie! for removing contacts press on the square with the "x" in a circle and then tap on the square with the contact you want to remove.
enjoy!

Tone Volume Adjust
To adjust tone volume, U can just use 'volume button' on the left side. Push either of them => two vertical bars appear on screen. <note this have to do when you not on call>
- Left vertical bar on screen for key-tone, music...and others.
- Right vertical bar for Ring tone

Old problems gone, new problems are here! Weee...
When I get a new SMS, the phone beeps, and the phone unlocks. Why? Who in the name of someone thought that was a good idea?
Can I do something to make it be locked, even if I get a message?

same happens if you get a call.
the phone unlocks sofar that you can reply. so if you get a call when phone is locked screen goes on and you can react... but when you hang up the phone is locked again
easy as pie, cant believe you didnt notice that.

Yes, calls are OK. But when i get a SMS, i want it so that the phone is locked until I press the power-button. It is often I cannot read the SMS when I recieve it. But when I get a sms my phone is living in my pocket, because it ulocks.

You will lose any tweaks and installs you have done since you first unboxed the phone, yes.

Maybe it's just worth trying to change the keyboard language?
You know, there's a keyboard icon in the centre at the bottom of the screen when you are typing something?
There is also a small arrow near that icon. If you click that, it has to show you some options, among which is the option to change the input settings.
(At least it is so on a UK ROM)
Hope it helps

Okay Guys..... Rather than start a New Topic on my problem I found this topic which is titled correctly.
I have a horrendous problem with the keyboard every now and then failing to load that has only started today.
After I have used the Keyboard for whatever reason at that particular time I then put the Phone back into sleep mode.
Later, when I switch the Phone back on and again need to use the Keyboard I press the Keyboard symbol at the foot of the screen but it fails to load the Keyboard and thus you can not enter any text.
The only way to use the Keyboard is to then perform a Soft-Reset and then it works...... until later when we have to repeat the whole affair.....
It does not happen all the time but as an example I have used the Keyboard today on 6 separate occasions.
These occasions are when the machine has been put to sleep, woken and the Keyboard to be loaded.
Anyway, of these 6 separate occasions it has failed to load 4 times.
That means I have had to carry out a Soft-Reset 4 times today.
I have not installed anything since the problem started today and am at a loss why it is playing up in this manner.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.
