K-JAM - Messaging disappeared from Today screen

OK, so the "Messaging" line has disappeared from my Today screen on my 3-day-old K-JAM. I'm unhappy, I like that little line there.
It isn't listed in Settings | Today | Items.
MemMaid shows it, however; I suspect that's because the registry entry is still present. Here's mine:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Messaging"
DLL : SZ = "" (blank)
Enabled : DWORD = 1
Flags : DWORD = 0
Options : DWORD = 0
Order : DWORD = 2
Selectability : DWORD = 2
Type : DWORD = 4
Is there something wrong here? Can someone compare theirs to mine to see if there's a difference? Is there something else that has to be configured to get it to show up on Today?
(If it matters, this happened after installed Agile Messenger. I downloaded it from PocketGear, installed it, set up an account, and got a notice that an upgrade was available, do I want to install it? Sure! It downloads, then tries to install, but of course it can't because it's already running, I presume. Do I want to terminate the currently running program? Sure! Then the installer bombs, too. Turns out I didn't like Agile Messenger, but uninstalling it was a pain. It didn't show up in Remove Programs nor Running Programs, so I had to soft-reset to kill the task, then use MemMaid to clear it all out.)

Device Lock

Anyone know what this registry entry does?...Was actually looking for a similar today screen lock as on the HTC Wizard and a few other devices.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Device Lock"

That's what controls the HTC Wizard one - it's in my reg as well (HTC Wizard::Qtek 9100). It looks for "shutil.dll" on here.. does your reg key have any such/further data?

Found the shutil.dll in the windows directory of my Exec and theres only a DWORD data value of 1 named Enabled...no other reference to the .dll file...I quite liked the device lock on the wizard that I had before getting the Exec...wonder if this regitry entry can be changed to get the similar effect on the universals.

One way to find out....
DLL = shutil.dll
Enabled = 1
Flags = 0
Options = 0
Order = 38
Selectability = 1
Type = 4
All the numerics are DWORD decimals

Tried it but nothing appears on the today screen...although after adding the registry entries it does show up in the today settings...once enabled it actually pushes my today screen down a little by a couple of millimeters as if its trying to display something...but nothing actually visible.

curses
what's the size of your shutil.dll looking like? it's 29k here (29,696 bytes)

mine is 5.96kb (6014 bytes) here,
poss down to rom builds.
me missus has a wizard and i want the device lock today aswell, now ive seen it.

In theory you could place the Wizard file in your windows dir, thereby 'overriding' the Universal's ROM one, no?
Also, it's not really all that, imho... it doesn't work happily with the device password function (auto-unlocks if the (accidental) buttonpress is the on/standby button) for example.

DLL = shutil.dll
and
DLL-Name = shutil.dll
it works for me

I need a primer on how to make regedit changes on a PPC

I know some of you can do this with your eyes closed, but I am new to this on PPC. I have a Cingular 8525, and am having severe battery drain problems, perhaps due to the G3 network. Below is the excerpt, and I would GREATLY appreciate if someone can type out the step-by-step procedure for execution.
Thanks!

Adding disconnect GPRS/UMTS button
To add Disconnect button and a timer display showing how long GRPS is in use for the session:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 16 (DWORD decimal)
To have only Disconnect button:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 8 (DWORD decimal)
To disable both the Disconnect button and the timer:
HKLM\ControlPanel\Phone\Flags2 = 0 (DWORD decimal)

have you ever edited the registry on a pc?
If so its very similar to that, I would recomend you download resco explorer and the registry edit plug in. This will allow you to edit the registry.
If you havent edited a registry on a windows machine before, I would take your time and google that for ideas before you start hacking your ppc reg.

I have a registry editor, and can type out the commands shown, but I am not sure where to actually place them. Is there a recommended site for instructions? Given that this is a particular hack, would general advice suffice?

Remember that you need to wait 30 secs or so after editing the registry and then you need to "soft reset".

Add time & date instead of the battery icon

Hi all, on my M3100 there was a program called pimp my black which allowed you to not only get rid of the annoying battery icon and replace it with the time but also the date in the top right of the screen. Does anyone know how of if this is possible on the Touch Dual yet?
thanks

I would like this as well.

To show both the date and the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 3 (DWORD decimal)
JIC you might need more.
To show just the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1 (DWORD decimal)
To show both the date:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 2 (DWORD decimal)

Ok, I need some help please, I get as far as HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell then the TBOpt is not there, Taskbar is there so I changed that to 3 and then reset and I have no clock at all when in screens other than home screen. Any advise.

Change taskbar back.
If TBOpt is not there, create a key by the same name.
then add the dword (decimal) 3

ok that works! for others you will need to set "ShowTitleBarClock"=1 otherwise it gets a little congessted in that area!

OK I created a New Key under Shell and then while it was highlighted I pressed edit at bottom of screen and pressed "New DWORD Value" and under "Value Name" I entered TBOpt and in "Value data:" I entered 3 and the "Base" was Decimal. IS THIS CORRECT???

Sorry not the fastest with this stuff, where do I find "ShowTitleBarClock" so I can change the setting?

What you need to do is create a new DWORD value (TBOpt) under the Shell key, do not create a new key. Under the current Shell key you should only have the value ShowTitleBarClock which is what you need to change and the TBOpt value you created.

Thanks heaps, all is working now.
One last question, I have the date above the time which is fine but the date is 6/01/0 the last digit is missing, is there a way to edit this to fix the problem or even get rid of the year as I can usually remember what year it is but month and date I need very bad.......

Hmm mine is using UK time so the format only cuts of the last digit of the year for me. It uses the Short date format from within the Date tab within regional settings so maybe you can alter that to appear like mine? the weird thing is on my M3100 it is set exactly the same but instead of showing 05/01/08 it only shows 05 Jan, weird. Maybe someone else knows

That would be perfect, that format "5 Jan" ..... Does anyone know how to get this format for the date?

Goto settings\regional settings and under the "Date" Tab:
For short Date choose one of the presets: dd-MMM-yy
for "Date Seperator", choose space instead of the default "-" (dash).
Unfortunately you can't change the presets, so the option suggested above is the closest you can get.

I tried "space" and it still didn't fit, then I tried a "." and it fits perfect, I don't know what will happen when the day becomes 2 digits it might be out again but thanks heaps for your help you have fixed my problem.

So far I've managed to get no less than two battery indicators when I'm on the home screen, and one when in a program.
What I want is neither clock or battery indicator on the title bare.
I'm running mobile 6, and have tried to set the TbOption in HKLM\software\ms\shell to 0, and the ShowTitleBarClockthingy to 0. This results in a empty space where the clock used to be, and a somewhat sluggish performance, as well as the icon next to (signal strength) to be cut in half, so not a good solution at all.
So I tried to remove the new key, and use KaizerTweak, which resulted in good performance, but two indicators... me confused be
All I wanted was nothing!
Sort of new to WinMobile 6, so It's probably some noobism in me as well.
