Hi all,
I am aware of different task-managers being able to change the today screen. But I could not find the following.
In the today screen at the botton right there are three icons, "battery level", "wireless manager" and "screen turning".
I found a .cab-file to delete the battery from there, are there also .cab-files to delete the other two ? Or can I maybe do this by registry changes ?
Also the date is visible in my today screen, as I like to have it handy. But (mostly in landscape mode) I dislike the whole line to be empty. Would it be possible to displace the mentioned icons to the top of the screen, to be in line with the date. As I loose valuable real-estate on the date (to the right) and the icons (on the left).
Any ideas ?
Regards,
Ruud
To hide screen rotate icon:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\ScreenRotate
ShowIcon value change to 0
Default: 1
Changed: 0
Don't know the answer to the other questions, but switching wireless icon of could be simular, just search for showicon in your registry.
For showing battery & wireless in the topbar I use SPB gprs monitor. It combines battery & wireless (usage & connection) in one (position adjustable) icon.

Hi oltp.
works a charm, thanks.
I tried to take away the wireless manager with all different tricks, but could not manage. There is no ShowIcon DWord in there and adding it does not change anything either.
Actually I do not mind it being available, but i'd rather have it (and the wireless manager) in the same height of the screen where the Date is. That would definitely be a solution to save space.
I tried the Order DWord, but to no avail.
Anybody has any additional ideas ?
Regards,
Ruud
Search the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset and voila !!!
Apparently it's on the wiki as well
Hi oltp,
perfect, apperently I was not trying enough. The icons are all gone and the real estate is used by other today screen things, very nice, THANKS.
Should anybody know how to put the icons in the "date-bar", please tell me, if not I am happy already.
thanks again,
Ruud
I set the Wireless Manager KEEP Dword to "0" , the icon does disappear but the "Fn+Right->" giving the wireless manager on/off menu also stops working. Do others have the same issue? I tried add a "ShowIcon" Dword to the registry but unfortunately it does not work... Any advice on this? Thanks.
Hi stanip,
looks like I was confirming happyness too early.
Yes, it is the same like with You, Fn-Right arrow will enter into the Wireless Manager menue, but all looks to be switched off, the screen-buttons do no work anymore and I cannot enter the phone-settings from there. (Wifi and BT settings can be entered)
Of course that's not so nice a price for getting that real estate.
Any better ideas would be appreciated.

In my Qtek 2020i.
After the installation of some software. The Icon In the Bar of Today Screen for changing the mode from Portrait to Landscape are disapeared.
Some Knows how I can recovery It.
Thanks for all,
Uninstall the software and it comes back...
I had the same with PPCProfiles-Pro...lost the icon after installing. Removed it, the icon came back. It's a shy thing that icon, it's done it before too.
Cheers
Ant
Ok, but I don't Know what of the software that I have Install in the pocket is the cause of them.
I would like to Know, If there a key in the registry that do this action.
Thanks,
Yes please could someone confirm weather or not there is a reg key/tweak/hack for the XDAIIi as the sreen icon dissappearing 'trick' is really annoying.
Would greatly apprecaite a reply soon,
LydaiChris
if you search for 'landscape' in the registry you'll find the solution.
In HKLM\System\GDI\Rototion there is a dword key called 'HideOrientationUI'. Set it to zero to unhide/reenable it.
STILL NO LUCK
Can you suggest anything else?!?!?!?
It seemed to dissappear as soon as I increased the glyhe reg hack
Remove the SPB Software, I believe it is PocketMon or Space Saver
S
if it disappears again then there is a tool active which wants to mess with that registry key. I've tried that SPB tool also and it made my landscape icon disappear indeed, as some other tools... so get rid of that tool cause the landscape icon is far more useful.
Hi.
When I first got my XDAIIi, I did a corporate install.
What is SPB ?!?!
Is that anything to do with the o2 software cd that comes with the XDAIIi!? i.e. the GPRS montor, ZIP etc... !??!
Is there another reg hack anyone?!? :?:
Or a piece of software that actually resolves the problem!?
I would greatly appreciate a reply,
Lydiachris
the spb grps toold doesn't conflict with the landscape on the xdaIIi, I've kept it running and it didn't cause any issue.
The only option where it is specified for the landscape icon to be viewed is in the registry key as mentioned earlier... dig the registry.
If then, the icon disappear still not appears or keeps disappearing, as that registry key rightfully specifies the icon's being, then it has to be other (additional) software which prevents it from appearing, e.g. the option to prevent the icon from appearing once the additional program built-in/in is loaded.
Try uninstalling the corp. lot and reinstalling what is necessary I'd say.
as to the fact which application messes which with the icon... at least a few for sure, and as I recalled from tryouts I an spb tool did mess with it.
-scuzi mi errata, pero soy humana-
Is there a program which should be in StartUp to make this work? I checked the registry key (I have the same problem) and it is set to zero, which the previous posts seem to suggest means it should display.
Maybe it has something to do with "Today Timout" ?!?!?
Mine is set to 4 hours.
Does anyone know what the Today Timeout actually does!??!?!
Cheers,
lydiachris
ps. yeah is there any software we can shove in the startup folder which will keep the icon there?!
Sort of solved for me
I removed a bunch of "no longer used" programs last night and the icon mysteriously reappeared after a couple of soft resets. Wierd.....
Yeah but does anyone know what the Today Timeout option does?!?!?!
I ahve searched long time in this forum and cannot find it anywhere!!!
If you leave the device off for longer than the today timeout, you will get the today screen when you switch it back on, otherwise you will get the last application used
Not sure if this has been posted in the Wizard forums before but i just found this in the Universal forums and now have a new Today plugin that displays the status of my Wireless connections. It seems to work for everything except GPRS
Just add the keys below to the Wizards registry.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Wireless"]
"DLL"="netui.dll"
"Order"=dword:00000000
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
"Type"=dword:00000004
For the full info on this, check the Universal forum here:

Cheers,
Chris
Nice find puckster will try it - any chance of a screen shot?

There is a photo in the Universal post but here's a screenshot of my K-JAM. The items only seem to activate on the Today screen when you enable the Particualr Wireless mode. As WiFi is disabled as soon as i connect ActiveSync i enabled WiFi in Comm Manager and quickly took the screenshot before WiFi was turned off, hence the unavailable status.
Note you cannot interact with this plugin. it is purely display only.
CHeerts,
Thanks puckster shows up on the list of the items list/today but not on the screen. I assume that is cuz I have no wifi connection right

When I added the entry, I had to go into the Today setting and uncheck, then re-check "Wireless" which made it appear. At a minimum you should see a bluetooth symbol that says on or off.
If you still can't get it to show up, double check the dword entries you created.
Btw - thanks for bringing this over to the Wizard forum Puckster..it's a handy little Today item.
Mine displays Carrier / Flight Mode & Bluetooth as well as WiFi status.
If WiFi is disabled it does not display on the today plugin however my Bluetooth is always displayed there even when turned off. The Carrier (Vodafone in my case) changes to Flight Mode when you enable it.
I would possibly re-check the registry keys. Also i just remembered i did add 2 extra keys to my registry that werent mentioned in the Universal thread.
I have attached a registry export of the key i created on my K-JAM so maybe you could use this as template as it works on mine.
NOTE: All of the keys are decimal dword entries except DLL which is a string.
Chris
Thanks for your help and I have rechecked everything and all seems ok. Phm reg editor can't seem to import the reg file you gave me ;(
It's nice to have the indicators...but I wish they didn't require the real estate of a whole additional Today bar. I would love to find a way to put indicators like that in the icon tray at the bottom (just above the Contacts soft key image).
this is exactly what i wanted much appreciated.
no go here, but I'm on an old, old ROM
Thanx Puckster, worked like a charm
Exactly what i was lookinf for ty again
zeeboxx:
You need to be using the new AKU2 roms for this to work
which answers "meschle"'s question - assuming he's still on 1.6.7.1
this is excellent... cheers guys!
Hi all,
i have put it in CAB file.
Regards
Have the same on Himalaya
Hi,
I running WM5 on my Himalaya and I have it by default. However, when I tap in the area, it takes me to the Comm Manager or Wireless Manager.
Same on the Wizard or should I check potential differences in the reg?
Cheers,
Hal.
yes. please check the differences. When I click on it, it does nothing.
Thanks.
Having a friend check on his PPC 6700 once he finishes the upgrade.

ammar you are the best man, I have tried all other methods. yours only worked. God bless you.
I ran ammar's cab. The Wireless box appears in my Today screen, and I tried checking and unchecking it, tried soft resets, even tried a re-install of the cab file. I have a T-Mobile MDA, and I have SPB Today Plus and PHM Traylaunch running. I'm using the black theme.
Anything else I might try?
Unlike some, I actually LIKE the battery icon that's displayed at the top-right of the screen in the new ROM's. Unfortunately, after running the Registry Wizard it's removed it and left an empty space.
What egistry key will actually RESTORE the battery icon? I've tried searching the forum but the Search engine is producing errors at the moment.
Thanks,
With registry wizard - by default under the Taskbar date/time settings it is none - try setting it to clock and the battery should reappear
More info in nicodekker's orginal post below
below
below
No, unfortunately unticking the box just leaves an empty space still.
Any other suggestions?
Did you try ticking the box and choosing clock - just unticking it won't revert the reg value I think

Blasphemy!

Found it. Deleting the registry key "TBOpt" at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell does the trick.
Actually I only use this because I like a good indicator of my battery status. I much prefer the one available in SPB GPRS Monitor (the horizontal bar at the very top of the screen) but I don't know how to get this without loading the full-blown GPRS monitor app every time.
Is there a small, low-memory app that does something similar without wasting ANOTHER line on the Today screen needlessly?
Thanks,

yes there is: David andrs' Batti v1.4.1
http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
Thanks, that's exactly what I was after.
I have just been playing with the Tweak2k2 app and to be honest haven't found anything revolutionary in it to make it worth purchasing - these great forums (grovel, grovel) provide far more useful info.
One of the tweaks is to put the date and time on the title bar, which I tried and it seemed to place it over the battery icon so it is illegible.
I then reloaded Tweak2k2 and disabled the option and it seems to have left a block sitting over the battery and speaker icons - they are still there because when I click on where they are supposed to be they do what they are supposed to do (display battery/volume settings), but they just aren't being displayed.
Any thoughts?
Solved this - the tweak software left a blank (0) entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell "TBOpt" which caused the icons to be obscured - deleting the key resolved the problem.
Hi all,
Keep having a problem within the "Programs" tab in TF3d ... in that once in a while, I get an additional blank program icon appear on a tenth row ... and even ifI assign a shortcut to this icon, it does nothing. I have in the past got rid of this by hard resetting - but wondering if there is an easier way of preventing/curing this issue.
I know it's not a big deal and is something I can live with but any help will be greatly appreciated
Have included a pic to show what I mean
I had this once, and found an extra key under this registry entry:
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\
Normal operation would have keys numbered 0 through 17. I had an extra one numbered 100, but yours might be some other number. You can delete the extra key (just don't delete any of those from 0 to 17). Slide off the programs tab and back to it, and I think it should disappear.
Hope this helps,
Martin
Excellent - worked a treat Thank you very much!!!!!
thanks
yes , I thank you also. Very annoying it was indeed.
