Hello,
Does someone knows if there is a way to remove Comm manager icons from today screen?
Perhaps by removing some registry key?
I believe the key should be one in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services but haven't found it yet :?
It takes alone a full line of today screen real estate :? : I would be glad to be able to remove it, as I already have a shorcut button assigned to it.
thanks for any help!
see if you don't have something like "init_tray.lnk|exe" in \Windows\Startup\ (file system, not registry), first. If you do, try moving/deleting that.
For removing mine I found the reference to init_tray.lnk in the "Start up programs" tab of MemMaid.
Ok I tested right now, it's works!
Thanks a lot!
I don't even thought about looking in startup folder :roll: as in my previous devices the solution was some registry key removal

Don't look for init_tray you will just go crazy looking for something you can't find or can find but can't delete. Just follow the 3rd registry instruction by:

Guys, they are all in the registry as well. However, if you remove Comm Manager from the tray (using registry method only?), the Comm Manager stops working completely. This statement is false, though. Mine is working just go to programs.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\ScreenRotate]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
cya
Upon deletion of "KEEP" you can say byebye to the lower tab icon of comm manager.
thanks to moghisi101

How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?
I wanted to remove the icon for manual screen rotation and I want to add some other stuff.
To remove the rotate screen icon goto the registry,
HKey_Local_Mchine\Services\ScreenRotate
change the ShowIcon Value to 0, reboot and it wont be there.
Thanks carnivor. I tried this suggestion from the WiKi, but this did not work for me:
To hide the screen rotation icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
I'll try your suggestion. How about adding an icon on the taskbar?
cktlcmd: you want to check out PHM Tray Launch to add icons to the tray. There are other commercial solutions as well. And someone else, I forget who, made one called VJTrayLaunch, but it's not very good or recommended over the other offerings.
PHM's website may be down, but I've attached a zip somewhere in a Wizard thread on pop up keyboards. Prize if you can find it.

Thanks Vijay555. I did found PHM Power Toys which included PHM Tray Launch. I just don't know how to install only the PHM tray launch though. I don't want the other clutter. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmpocketpcpowertoys.shtml
Another question please. How do you use PHM Tray launch?
SBSH's iLauncher puts icons in the tray. Definitely the easiest to use (I found the PHM software a bit fiddly and the icons didn't render well) but you do have to pay for it...

Does iLauncher causes any slow downs on the Universal? Can I install it on my SD card or does it have to stay on internal memory?

I have located the battericon and screen rotation icone removal, anybody know where the wireless connection removal setting is in the registry.
RE
Hi cktlcmd,
To use PHM TrayLaunch
1) Install PowerToys and copy traylnch.exe out.
2) Remove PowerToys if don't require
3) Put back traylnch.exe and run it
One catch. After each soft reset you'll have to re-activate traylaunch. Any attempt to put in StartUp results in icons not displaying its original self ie. 'Notes-like' icons will be displayed instead.
wiki now updated with all three regedits to do remove the taskbar from the today screen. by removing the icons, the bar is gone by default.

Hi,
I've looked, clicked and sworn at it, but I just don't know how to get rid of the small bar at the very bottom of the today screen, just above the softkey indicators. At the moment it just has the (standard t-mobile) mini battery icon and the mini connection icon.
I've got no idea where the controller for this part of the today screen is. I'd really love to get rid of it altogether and have a few extra pixels for pocketplus. It just seems to be totally wasted screen real estate for me. I see other people have got useful stuff in this area, if there's a personalisation programme out there for it, please hit me up.
Cheers,
Chris
If you just want to remove those icons - which removes the tray as well - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40133
If you want to remove it altogether, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
And if you want to customize the tray with icons to specific apps, try "PHM TrayLaunch" - it's part of the PHM PowerToys - can probably be ripped out somehow and made stand-alone.
Sorry guys, ToggleToday is still WM2003 only right now. I'll update as soon as I get a few minutes. It's complicated to write, since the tray gets refreshed on screen rotations etc. And I'm just too busy to deal with it properly right now Soon...
V
Hey, thanks very much guys
PHM TrayLaunch looks like a very useful app, but I'm struggling to successfully add programs/icons. For example, if I want to have ActiveSync as one of the icons in the tray, does anyone know what should be entered as the "target"?
I'm afraid I don't have my phone in front of me, but trying navigating through your \windows\start menu and checking the properties for existing shortcuts.
Eg Find activesync, display properties, and it will display the target for the shortcut. That's your baby.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to display properties for a shortcut - Explorer's "tap & hold" menu only allows you to cut/copy/paste etc - there's no "properties" window like there is on normal PC-Windows.
Fork, try gsfinder or another explorer replacement.
Also try having a read through this:

Thanks Vijay, I've downloaded Resco Explorer 2005 but cannot find the ActiveSync shortcut anywhere on my device! Does anyone know what the shortcut is to start ActiveSync?
It's not obvious!
\windows\replog.exe
V
Thanks for the reply Vijay, but replog.exe doesn't exist anywhere on my device.
Sorry, missed one letter
"\windows\repllog.exe" on my Universal.
V
Thanks Vijay, bizarely repllog.exe doesn't show up in my Windows folder using Resco Explorer, but setting this as the path gives me an ActiveSync icon in the tray - so it's obviously finding it.
Unfortunately, clicking the icon doesn't launch ActiveSync. It briefly displays "Connect to" in the top title bar before disappearing, and the Today page remains onscreen all the time.
Any other suggestions you can think of?
Thanks,
Fork, it depends on what state the activesync app is in at the time. It doesn't always like to show itself in my experience as well. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes when you're disconnected it will show, sometimes when you're connected it'll show?
In resco, ensure you're displaying hidden files, system files and rom files.
V
Thanks Vijay, I hadn't spotted that option in Resco Explorer - it shows up now.
Howsitgoin all
I have removed the battery, and the screen rotation tool, but cannot find the reg hack to remove this, any suggestions?
Search the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset and voila !!!
Sorry for my bad english ...
Be aware that all you do is hide the icon. The service itself keeps running.
RE
Hey bro,
How do you hide the battery and the screen rotation tool?
Which entries in the registry do I need to alter?
Thanks
RE
OK, found the answers
Thanks anyway
fixed, Wiki updated - reg edits for taskbar icon removal.
thanking you, i have also updated wiki with all three reg edits to ease future questions.

Although they are greyed out, you can still enable/disable them by using the Settings menu. You will not get a GUI confirmation that they are on/off though, have to depend on the LED's.
it caused me a problem on the original rom, but on the latest rom it works fine for me to activate using an icon, or as I prefer Fn right arrow
GUI ?
Any idea/ workaround on how to get the GUI confirmation that they are on/off ?

What's the Registry key? Write a quick script to get rid of it, and place it in your startup directory. I can do that for you if you'd like...

I'm not sure it would solve the problem, because if I change the state of the registry key, I have to soft reset the Touch to apply changes and during the boot process maybe the regsitry is changed.
For example, I installed PMC Today Shrink which is supposed to get rid of this tray and as you can see on the screenshot, I have both tray (with intellisync icon) and today tray (with Action and Contact).
Have tried an application called "startup manager" I've seen it here, but I can't seem to find it.
You should give it a go.
Greetings,
Here is a way from me, to make it possible, to customize your hardware buttons.
Step one:
Start the attached FDC Taskmanager, then tap <Menu>, <Options>, set enabled on "Create RegEdit Shortcut".
Now you can open the Regedit - Shortcut in Startmenu ( <Programs> - <System> ) and .reg - files will be associated with FDC-TM.
Now doubletap on the attached .reg - file, select importing.
Ready!
Restart the device!
Feature lost: Navipanel not start automatically, when you put the phone in carkit. Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of the navigation-button.
Step two:
1. klick "Start"
2. klick "Settings"
3. klick "Hardware-Buttons"
4. customize

edit: when is it not easy enough, give me your adress and I will come to you and do it for you!
Thanx for the effort and for sharing Mirko!
I will definitely try it
bravo super boulot
Still starting
Hi!
I have succesfully created the two buttons in the control panel of the PDA and assigned them to right and left program key. And the work!
My problem is that the Tomtom and Footprint also start, which is a feature I would like to remove. I would much rather have them start the old fashion way, as this is a phone as a primary device.
Can anyone direct me to a solution. I would like to keep the programs installed but can as a last resort remove them if it helps (and if I can).

This problem occurs when you do not set the "NaviService" service to Manual and stop it. See the first post in this thread from Mirko, he explains it.
@ Snwstrm
U must read my post, stands:
"Now go with the FDC Taskmanager to "Services", stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual". When you not do this, you have a double assignment on buttons."
Greetz Mirko
edit: Argh! Not seen, Evincar was almost answering, sorry!
No such service
Hi!
Thanks for a quick reply. I don't have FDC but Pocket Controller Pro as a task handling program and I cannot see any service that resembles the one U are talking about. My guess is that it differs depending on localization, but I will try to get a hold of FDC program to verify.
I tried to get help from HTC, but they couldn't help me. I guess they have some deal w TomTom and don't want to make it easy to switch or eradicate their program. They wrote to me about PocketToolman but it did nothing new, just a nifty way to access controlpanel.
Keep on looking,
Snwstrm
What about Google? FDC TM is freeware.
Greetz Mirko!
Victory!
You are absolutely right! I will have to contact SOTI regarding their software. FDC worked wonders and now I see no trace of TomTom or Footprint. Just the way I wanted.
Thanks!
Snwstrm
Nice, can help!
Thanks for this. I switched from Vox and I was quite angry, when I had to tap to top right to confirm something. Now footprint does this.

Mirko ,could you explain me more. I'm not good in registry edit,actually just started.
I've downloaded your attached file and already set it on my device but I don't under stand about your explanation.
1 "Copy the Navipanel.lnk in Startmenu or lay it of navigation-button." I don't where is the start menu in Registry and how to do it.
2 stop "NaviService(NPS0)", long klick it, then change to "set manual" that means
go to HKLM\service\NaviService and change value form default to 0???? and I don't understand about how to set manual could you explain me more.
Thank you very much
