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.

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
Hi,
I've seen this question asked a few times and did my searches and all of them brought nothing. I've gone through Vijay utilities and they can't do this either. I am not talking about remove the WM5 soft buttons (which I like), I am simply talking about REMOVING the useless tray bar alltogether. This is really a waste of realestate screen for my today screen as I have almost never used the tray bar anyway. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Mobiler.
I stopped working on VJToggleToday before addressing the tray, and just haven't had the time and mood to finish it. However, there's another app out there somewhere, a russian app I believe, that removes the tray. I think it's discussed in the latest VJToggleToday threads, or if you google for my piece of poo, you'll find discussions about it.
I will eventually work on VJToggleToday. I've been out of bounds for 3 months, but am finally reconnected to the InterTubes.

thanks vijay!
unsucessful at removing the bottom tray (not soft key tray)
Anyone have luck completely removing the bottom tray (I removed the battery icon, but other apps don't let me remove their icon, so the bottom tray stays...)
windows mobile 5 on an 8525
That's a thing I'd want to know, too....
Same here. It is really a waste of space isn't it, especially in landscape/widescreen mode when you have something like SPB Pocket Plus installed.
I have done the reg hack to remove the battery and comm icons from the bottom tray. It seem to work. However after awhile the battery icon comes back. If I do a soft reset it is gone, but then after awhile it comes back. Does anyone know why and what I can do?
You could try using something like HTCustom to do it for you. I havent had this problem using it.
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.

Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.
Thanks in advance.

Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"
