On the WM Team Blog they address the reaction to the nearly worthless battery icon replacing the clock. Good news is that ROMs using AKU2.2 and later will allow you to add the clock back in, bad news is that the current JasJar ROM (1.30.76) doesn't seem to have the 2.2 release of AKU.
Can people with other carrier's ROMs check to see if the registry edit they provide works with your ROM?
The egistry edit is to add a DWORD titled ShowTitleBarClock with the value of 1 in the HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell location.
Didn't work for me
Doesn't work in the latest dopod rom 1.30.111 either...
The message on the MS site is from yesterday, and the guy is speaking of a "further release", i think AKU 2.2 don't exist yet
btw: isn't working on my wizard too
AKU 2.2.1 exists...
this is the nessesery file, you need to replace the existing one with this one (windows directory)
and add
[HKEYLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Shell]
"ShowTitleBarClock"=dword:1
this is only for AKU 2.0!
!!!Attention: Make a backup and read through this tropic!!!
Problems with Universal roms!!!!
Perhaps related to the certification. Plz someone with removed certification try this... and post the results.
RE
The shell32.exe file in my QTEK 9000 is located in ROM something which you cannot copy out.
Does a soft reset reverts back to original battery icon if I'll to replace with the attached shell32.exe file?
After the battery icon is replaced by the clock icon, can I add a date to it also using any known method to put a date on top of the clock?
I believe a hard reset will definitely reverts back to the original battery icon, right?
Thanks
only a hard reset reverts back to the original.
add a date: I think so... not tested, but it should work.
I have a special rom where it is possible to overwrite system files, but It could be difficult to replase shell32.exe on a normal rom and I cant make a cab, because I dont know how to sign that.
plz someone with the knowledge about that make a cab.
don't bother, because even if you replace the shell32.dll, it wont restart, displaying the keyboard and getting stuck there.
You will have to hard reset and restore from a backup to get back your device.
A word of warning - back up before trying this. It hosed my universal. It would not even finish booting, and I had to hard reset.
Surur
Ok, I realy sorry.
It works for me...
Himalaya (rom based on 2.00a)
On my ROM (Qtek latest) in \Shell\Taskbar there's a regkey LimitedClock set to 1. If I set that to 0, the clock will at least display everywhere except Today, both in landscape and portrait modes. With it set to 0 as per standard, the clock only shows up while in apps *and* landscape, apps/portrait it doesn't. As long as the Today screen time&date plugin is switched on, this means you've always got the clock. BTW, needs a softreset to activate, Taskbar settings apparently are only read on first startup.

I'm sure you realise this is a universal forum? You should edit your post to remove your file before somebody else zaps it's unit.
I dont think so, because the os is the same.
My rom is not realy Himalaya, it is a ported wizard os and only the drivers of Himalaya.
So the file should work on all WM5 devices, perhaps the problem is related to the removed certification on Him 2.0 rom's.
(This file is from an Atom rom not Himalaya)
But you are right, I edited the post.
Disablesecurity.cab, replace shell32.exe with new, softreset
Hangs at boot with the soft keyboard superimposed over the boot screen. Hard reset to fix.
Basically, avoid this for a while.
......or use Wisbar Advance 2 and you have your clock back on the Today screen....
Cheers

You can access that feature simply by going to the date/time settings and enabling "Display the clock on the title bar in all programs" on the |More| tab.
O2 xda Atom have AKU2.2.1 and it really works no more battery icon.

Hello,
It is my first post on this forum.
Yesterday, I unlocked my frensh SPVM3000 (Wizard) and tried to replace my "shell32.exe" by the "shell32.exe" downloadable on this post.
It was a BAD idea! My SPV starting crashed because it was for Universal smartphone. I used the button sequence to re-install the original software.
Have you an address where I can download the "shell32.exe" of the Wizard AKU 2.2 software?
Thanks for your help.

I did a hard reset of my T-Mobile MDA Vario II last night.
I noticed later that the ability to send MMS in the messaging application was missing. It only provides for SMS texts and email accounts, MMS is not listed.
T-Mobile suggested I do another hard reset. Does anyone know if it's possible to get MMS functionality back without doing a hard reset?
Also, the pocket internet explorer homepage is not a T-mobile customized one anymore. Instead it shows a hompage with links to 'Mobile Operator', 'OEM' and 'Windows Mobile'. If I click on one of the first two links, it starts up FIle Explorer. The 3rd link works. I've noticed it doesn't display that annoying message 'You are about to go online', so I think the T-Mobile customizations that run after a hard reset have not worked right.
Sorted. I did another hard reset, this time without the TomTom SD card loaded. It auto-played and interfered with the automatic cab customizations the first time around.

For future reference you can (re-)install the carrier specific settings by unlocking your Extended Rom and executing the cab file there. Or you can get the settings from your carrier's website and input them manually. If you use a custom rom that includes an ext rom you will have to enter them manually unless you saved off the original cab files or search the forums for them.

Thank you Zzan. Maybe one day I'll have the nerve to give it a try.

Hi,
I've just bought an Htc Cruise, and wanted to add Luxemburg to the Weather plugin, but without success.
I changed the HH_409_WeatherCities.xml buy adding Luxemburg.
<city name="Luxemburg, LU" loca="EUR|LU|LU003|Luxemburg" land="Luxemburg"/>
First I disabled the htc Home in the Settings.
Softreset.
I changed the hh_409_WeatherCities.xml.
Moved The hh_409_Weathercities.xml to Windows Folder.
I receive the message "Unable to retrieve data for selected city."

The Internet connection is working.
When i'm selecting another city it works.
But with cities i added in the xml file it doesn't work.

As I understand it, the HTC weather plugin actually routes it's requests through HTC themselves, and they only serve certain (ie: the default) cities. Have a look at this thread where the author claims to have found a solution:

Excuse me for my bad English ...
The file HH_409_WeatherCities.xml may be "read-only", "System" or "in ROM" and can not be rewritten?
@maclux
Look at the following site. I have made a little tool only for a german orbit2, but it may also work with others.
http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?t=122846&page=2
Look at post #61.
First you have to patch the HTCHome.dll, then you can change the xml-file.

I had the same problem myself, but i found that Resco Explorer can overwrite the file
Btw...the patching of the dll really works, and made the weather plugin work for me!
problems editing the file too
I am having problems editing the file to support my local weather. I have found by reading various post that its a very simple process. But my new WM6.1 ROM on my AT&T Tilt has set the file permissions to "ROM". I have already edited a new copy of the file only to find out its "in ROM" status keeps me from deleting or modifying the file.
I would love to know if I can edit a "in ROM" file.
Thanks in advance for any help.

I had the same problem, but it was solved patching the DLL after disabling the plug-in and copying the the XML file with the Resco. After that, all runs fine

Maybe I am wrong but you spell Luxemburg, but the link is LUXEMBOURG (OU) not (U). In brief you're missing a letter to the word Luxembourg
Just search for HTC Home Customizer - it'll do what you want.
HTC Home Weather Plug-in
Guys,
Firstly, unfortunately HTC home customiser cannot alter the original HTC home plugin (or i never got it to work ), you have to unistall the original and use the one downloaded by HHC, which has bugs (mail icon does not open mail but messaging etc etc)
I downloaded the fixed version of HTC home from here, which allows you to input user city via registry or using advanced config. Works for me and you can manually configure to how you wish it to look. Ive attached the diamond style clocks/icons should you wish to use them, thanks to varanusvincent
Sorry for repeat post, had trouble uploading files, see attached
hello all
i just downloaded a cab in there : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=451702
it's a cab to change the clock "TF2D digital clock by pcarvalho"
i tried to install on my mem card, and nothing happened.
so i tried on the phone and it asked me for a reboot, i push ok, then it restart.
but when it's time touchflo launch, nothing happen and it shows 'push here to start touchflow'
if i want touchflo to start i have to delete the clock...
where have i been wrong?
thanks
These CABs usually sucks. They're just not working well. My recomendation is - use the M2DC and themes in zip or mdct format instead.
It seems that you want a diamond-like clocks. If so - check this thread. (well, do it anyway )
YEAH
Ok thanks a lot,
that's great both works very find, i keep em both on my card so i can change easely!!!
thank you so much...
