So how do I remove those little icons down there? Looks like they are not part of "Today" screen (which can ofcourse be customized), I can't remove them there.
There must be some kind of registry tweak to remove that.
Battery status is completely unusable to me becouse track battery status other way on the Today screen.
nevermind i found out how to do it.
just remove init_tray from windows\startup and thats it!
Well i did just that and it works. but i noticed one not so good side effect. When i press down on the d-pad. Select the last thing on my today screen and press down again. The selection color (box, whateveryou want to call it) disapears and does not come back when i press up. I have to use the touch screen to get the selection color back.
Removing the status bar
When I checked the windows/startup folder there was no tray_init listed on my XDA Orbit.
However, I renamed the windows\TrayAp.exe by putting my initials in front as follows -
windows\ahTrayAp.exe
I then did a soft reset and the tray and icons no longer appear.
I have reset a few times and it the stus bar still doesn't appear

Need help! After installing magic button, when i run the phone the icon at the top next to the start button looks exactly like the phone icon. But after a while it changes to a system file icon, as if it cant find the correct phone icon any more.
I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling magic button. Doesnt help! The only thing that fixes this is reflashing the ROM, and installing magic button again. But then after a while the icon changes again back to a system looking one!!
PITA! Help someone, please
I get the same thing. Unfortunately I haven't a clue how to resolve it, but at least you know it's not just you!
Anyone got any ideas?
Wow...after reading i just checked it out myself...and its true...haha...didn't even notice till now, and i have no clue when it started to affect the icon.
Everything still works tho, and i guess i can live it, i mainly use MagicButton for the real close function and the bat bar up top, not as an app manager/switcher.
I just flashed back to 1.08 ship - then flashed back to 2.17 basic...
Installed all my stuff, everything is perfect! UNTIL a soft reset! Then the icon is messed up!
Does anyone know where the icon cache is? Or where to edit in the registry for the icons that magic button uses??
There has got to be a fix for this
Go to Settings->Personal->Menus and select 'Phone' as one of the items...the phone icon will stay in the Magic Button bar...
you need to do a soft reset too....and then start Magic Button again
Ah Ha!!! Magic Button looks in the start menu for the icons!
Brilliant!
As long as the phone is listed on the start menu, then magic button displays it correctly! If you remove phone from start menu, then it shows up in magic button as a missing icon (system looking icon)!!
Thanks for the help!
I have managed to remove the Wireless Manager Icon from system tray at the bottom of the Today Screen Using a hack from my old Universal.
In the Process, the battery Icon also disappeared, which is good ( i wanted it that way). Basically, i don't need the tray at the bottom at all.
The Problem is that the Battery Icon keeps coming back on in the tray by itself, I don't know why or how. But a softrest will make it disappear again, but it will come back on again.
I don't know what triggers it to come back on. Is there away to make it disappear FOREVER
Thanks
ok here is the deal ....
I would suggest you use some time the search function or refer to that link and you may have success in your problem.

Look in your \Windows\Start-up directory. There are a list of stuff there, and one of them is the battery (I think the file name has the word 'batt' or something like that, or it has a battery icon), move this file to other location (e.g. back it up, just incase) and softreset your device.
I have used the registry hacks to get rid of the battery icon and the wireless manager icon from the bottom tray. However, when I switch the phone to vibrate, there is still an icon there that shows up (a black rectangle with a red line around it). Is there a hack to stop that icon from showing?
I guess that is a no?
I would like to know if this is possible also.
There is a shortcut on my Hermes called 'TrayIcon_MannerMode' pointing to /Windows/TrayIcon_Mannermode.exe but nothing seems to happen when I run it.....
Think twice before you remove comm manager from there as it make boot unstable and device very slow.
This would not be a full solution, but could the icon simply be shrunk (ie. to 1 pixel tall) so that it if it was the only thing in the tray at least it would steal minimal screen real-estate ?

I was able to remove that icon by disabling TrayIcon_MannerMode from the list on the startup items. The problem is that after doing that it became impossible for me to activate the vibrate mode using the default hardware key (long press on commmgr key). If you are fine with that then perhaps you could try it.

Can you tell me where you find the list of startup items? I am not the best at this stuff.
Thanks.

Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and just installed the 3VO ROM.
This was an issue I had with my Dash 3G even when I was on WM 6.1 - but I notice that when I'm in the Start Menu, the text in top black bar at the top of the screen which has the Time, Signal, Battery Meter, etc. disappears? Because I have my start menu titles disabled, it's a little difficult to navigate because I can't see what any program/folder is called.
It seems like it's being forced to the left; it recenters once I reboot my phone - but otherwise, I don't know what's up. I can post a screenshot if my description's a little ambiguous.
Thanks!
several weeks ago a new lock screen appeared - out of nowhere - and now won't go away. I've tried to manually go into setting and change it - no luck. When I restart my s5, my original screen (which is still selected in settings) comes up, but is then taken over by this lock screen that won't go away. I'm running Themer - thought it was associated with that, but I've since cleared cache/data/deleted it, with no luck. This thing doesn't keep time, give any notifications, or swipe responsively. A real PIA. It also affects the notification bar - won't give me my notifications. Same with the lock screen - occasionally I will swipe my screen and see the original notification bar, but mostly this new one. Any thoughts? I'm really not keen on wiping the whole thing are starting from scratch.
A screenshot would be helpful, it sounds like part of another app you have installed.
