Battery and Storage meters - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

I wonder what today plugin do you use to check your battery, free storage and memory available. What are the advantages and disadvantages of your plugin?
P.S. The aim is to speed up the Wizard, because using Resco Today Plug-in really makes in slow.

check this out
Check out ILauncher... its pretty good shows good meters and everything and also has a quick launch.. so it pretty good check it out... But one thing is that it isnt free

to Juicy J
Yeah, I`ve tried this one. I'm looking for smth with lage icons like Resco!

You Can
you can put large icons! under options it put large icons, for the Meters and shortcuts

I've seen it by enable "real VGA mode" but it looks not so good

OoOOh
tuff luck.. have you found one you like yet?

I use spb pocket plus. Has some goot meters and you can launch programs right from the today screen.

I use batteryStatus.
Very cute little program
Works fine on a Wizard aka Vario.

Well, I decided to continue to use Resco Today Plugin, it's more useful for me indeed.
Sorry for my ignorance, what does 'tuff luck' mean?

It means
It means {too bad}... Well i hope that one works fine for you

So you want to hide your system tray?

Why? Because it useless and it ocupies a line of space that could be used by a today plugin!!!
TrayDisplay is what you need!!! Built with ATL C++, it comes in two files:
HideTray: that makes tour system tray invisible;
DisplayTray: that makes tour system tray visible!!
It makes a shortcut on your \Windows\StartUp folder so that everytime you reset your PPC, it will hide the tray!
When the file is run, it makes it's job and then end's so that it doesn't stay in memory.
This file is not a patch, but an application!
Only tested with Windows Mobile 2005, don't know if will work with WM2003...
OK,
nice idea but doesn't work on W2003 SE, at least not on mine. Also no effect after soft-reset.

I doesn't work on my 2003se device (Imate jam) either
can anyone post a link to this program? i cant seem to find it anywhere at all ;-(
ok n/m found it lol, just had to sign in lol

I know I've seen another tool for hiding top-&bottom bars somewhere on the web. Cannot remember where, but it had to do with 'xx% larger screen'. As I don't mind having the bars I didn't pay much attention to it. I specially like the top bar with date/time & spb gprs icon. But taste is personally. So you'll have to search yourself when you really want this.

You can make your own short-cuts to any application, and place it anywhere, and that's only the beginning. The possibilities are endless, please do take a look :wink:

WAD and WA2 are two master pieces that will breath new life into your Pocket PC. The UI will look stunning if you get good skins and graphics .
Definetly agree with you, Flipside. Endless posibilities
Problem
The problem with these tools is they consume a lot of system resources and slow your machine down.

That's not entirely true anymore... Naturally the more you "fill" in, the more memory you lose, but it's def. not the program itself...But if you look at what you actually get here, the little memory you lose is a very small price to pay... ( I have like 16 different pages running, with dock and icons, plug-ins and text-objects, and the memory loss I can measure is app. 6 mb ) In my book that's nothing compared to what this program has to offer, my magician is almost stylus-free, and that's really neat when I'm in my car etc...

Try PhoneAlarm .. it has profiles .. but donno if it can switch them dynamically based on the location ...
Here is a link to another version but it says its not fully compatible with all PDA's. Anyone used it on a PDA?

cell-profiler is pretty poor imo, the full version of phonealarm does let you switch profiles based on cell id. Ive been using it for weeks.....great app!!
Its the app i was looking for because i used to use Magic-Profiles pro on my P900 which did the same thing.

The thing I don't like about phonealarm is the look and feel, it looks like the home page is going to be really busy and I also used SPB Diary so would it clash with this?
Has anyone used PPCProfiles for switching on a scheduled basis? If so how did this compare to phonealarm?
Thanks

vista theme?

is there a patch for the cingular 8525 to make it look like vista? i've seen the skinning stuff, looks to involved ( to many programs ). thanks LuXx
I am running wisbar advanced, and I have a great vista theme that I would be happy to upload, or I can try and find where I originally found it. doesn't take up too many resources, and it has a _ton_ of customization

I have one that I'm using that doesn't require installing another app that hogs up memory. This is a simple Vista "aero" type theme and a nice dialer to match. I'm using them now and I like 'em. I think I might have even gotten them from the forum, or maybe not. Anyhow, enjoy!
do you have screen shots? What is the tsk file and how do we use it?
Thanks!

Sorry, no screen shots handy right now, but all you have to do with the .tsk file is copy it to your \Windows directory. Then, go ahead and change your theme like you normally would. (Start --> Settings --> Today)

I see from your Avatar that your sporting the new Hermes headset. It's nice 'cos it doesn't require the Bluetooth connection - you just tuck the Hermes inside next to your ear and away you go; and with Wifi on it keeps your ear warm as well. I've heard a rumour that there's a dual core Hermes with twin hand-sets that keeps both ears warm. Bit itchy though??

Oh yes. You hit the nail on the head there. It's almost a full body headset, as you can see. Quite cozy in the winter... and very stylish to boot.

Not sure what the problem is, Zgembo was able to get it extracted and working. Are you just extracting the whole folder onto your desktop (or somewhere) and then moving it over to the phone?
Exactly, simple as cake... Just copy two file to any folder of your phone, and run it... Dialer (bigger .cab file) is just an option, instals as standard application... Skin (.tsk file) is very compact, and just double click it to add it to phone's themes... You can delete these files after installation...

Maybe someone with some skills (definitely not me) can put the smart dial and video option into this dialer skin. I think this was originally created for the 8125. Shogunmark... I know you're a pro. Whatcha think?

i can build wizard roms and cabs, etc.. but when it comes to *.tsk and dialer skins, i will admit defeat.. i have tried at those and failed so many times.. its not that i couldnt create them, its that they looked horrible.. i am seriously lacking in artistic skills.. i might look into anyway since i am dying to start cooking roms but the bootloaders on these phones right now is a major roadblock.. we will see what time has in store for me
Excellent phone skin! I love it!
i found the site where the nice dialer was from:
http://www.paulya.com/dialerskins.htm
he appears to have E-TEN dialers with Smartdial (scroll down to the bottom round classic) It states the "Blackglass" has smartdial. Anyone try that out on a TyTN?
Anyone know how to fix the AeroMobile.tsk theme to support the Portrait mode? When I slide out my keyboard, the skin should strech but doesn't. I tried to fix it with MS Theme Generator, but no luck... Any suggestions? I'm using Pocket PC 2002 Theme Generator V2, as that seems to be the last release from MS.

Just as the title says...post 'em up!

The_BrOOD
Here's mine
I don't use Touchflow3D, because i like this one better
ok here it is...
My today screen.. today
And where's yours ?
Here is Mine :
Here's mine... I don't use TF3D either so I'm using SPB Pocket Plus along with a selection of other 3rd-party Today plugins. SPB Phone Suite, in combination with the standard WM notifications, gives me massively better functionality than I found in TF3D. Free RAM is 62MB after a soft-reset or 70MB if I use the standard WM dialer rather than the HTC one. Skins for the WM dialer can be found here.
I've configured Pocket Plus to auto-hide its tabs so that I'm returned to the task manager and music player whenever I close or minimize a program or press the Home key. The free plugin I'm using as a task manager is called DevState 1.5, which is capable of showing all kinds of device information and even launching programs but those features are already handled by Pocket Plus. Pocket Plus has its own task manager too (pictured) but it's handy to have an extra one that's thumb friendly. Pocket Player, TouchPal and Resco Explorer (so useful I've put it on my right soft-key) are some of the other programs that I feel really enhance the Diamond's abilities but, like most of the programs I've mentioned, they aren't free.
If anyone's got any queries, drop me a PM and I'll see if I can help. Oh, and the photo was taken near Ölüdeniz in Turkey

Permanent Battery Icon in Taskbar

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to keep the battery icon permanently displayed in the Taskbar?... Preferrably just with a Reg Key rather than additional app?...
In WM6.1 on my present device (and also WM5.x on my previous Trinity) the icon disappears as soon as any app is launched and seems only to be displayed in the Today screen.
Its a simple enough thing (I would have thought!) but all my searching has not yielded a viable solution yet!
Anyone help?
Many thanks,
LoopyLoo
I'm pretty sure HD tweak has that feature somewhere.

Thanx for the suggestion. I think I know what you're referring to in that app... And I'm pretty sure it doesnt work as expected.
HD Tweak definatly has this option its the first battery option in Tweak you can show or hide It shows in most programs I tested, like Notes, Calculator, Word etc I didnt run Garmin Xt or Opera as I was confident it work why not give it a try you can always delete if not satisfied Right

Its been a while since I last used HDTweak (never been a big fan of it, as for me its always seemed to cause more problems than its solves) but I've reinstalled it anyway, based on what you both say...
It doesnt work for me - and pretty sure I've tried this before with same result!
As soon as I start up Calendar, Contacts, Calculator, Notes - any app! - the Taskbar battery icon disappears.
exactly the same problem
tried differents tricks but until now no good result

mmmm sure is strange when i get home tonight I will install software so i can take a pic of the screen with excel word calendar etc if you like maybe we can sort it from there
By the way I have Duttys 3.9 it is a wicked Rom a little heavy on battery but performance makes up for it
Oh yeah i noticed bouya_k has the Dusk theme maybe that interferes with it ???
Just looked at my phone again with battery selected to show in HD Tweak, it will show in calender sms etc which are in TF3d
however when i open excel, notes, etc the task does in fact drop the battery Icon and only shows sound, signal icons
So my appologies LoopyLoo you are indeed right.

OK, mate, thanks for confirming that - thought I might be losing the plot a bit there for a while!
Off topic, but I note your liking of the Dutty3v9 ROM. The guy does indeed do some nice ROMs, but there always seemed to be little "features" in it that would be problematic for me. So I gave up after 3v7 and switched to Topix221. After a minimum of personal customisation I have found it very reliable, fast and good battery life.
LoopyLoo
You could use something like this:
http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/ibattery
or SBSH ILauncher, which also has a taskbar battery meter always displayed.

Actually I have tried a few roms even a 6.5 but didnt like that, I got on to Duttys after looking at what Crackwhore and Fallen sparten used these guys are pretty much on the ball so I wanted to see what they used.
I will Give topix a go to but I only just flashed from Duttys 3.6 which did have a few probs 3.9 has none for me so far although a little heavy on battery

I didnt really want to install an app to monitor the battery, but iBattery is quite dinky and very much like what you get in WDTask (I think).
Thanks for this "low resource" suggestion!

i came across this problem either. i have a kithchen which can keep the icon in any page. but not in others. i had tried to find clues but failed.
I hav the same problem.. can't get the battery meter back.. Hd Tweak doesn't work
