I have the 8525 and I updated to the new ROM a few days ago. My day and date take up 2 lines across the top now on the today screen whereas it use to take only line across the top. Has anyone else noticed this and is there a way to have it go back to one line?
Same Day and Date display problem
I noticed that too and was wondering the same if anybody else had this problem. At first I thought it might be a compatibilty issue with SPB Pocket Plus. Afterwards I did a hard reset with the default settings and the same double line display of Date and Time appears. It's become pretty frustrating and had to remove the Date and Time all together from the Today Screen. May be someone has a reg edit for this.
Is it possible to downgrade back to the original ROM? My 8525 has locked up a couple times since the upgrade, something that never happened to me before. Thanks
Interesting comments on the ROM. I too have lockup issues now more than ever. And yes, I understand that you can go back to the OLD rom. I may do that at some point. Not sure the "upgrade" changes are worth the pain I am experiencing with the lockups...looks like I just got locked up trying to synch.
And to your original question...I have two lines too. I guess I like that cause I used the large FONT and this caused the day/date to scroll off of the right hand side.

i also want to move/change/edit my date item on today screen!
Bumping this to see if anyone else has found a solution for this.
Try this cab I made http://www.8525software.com/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,27/func,fileinfo/id,58/
It puts the Date and Time in the top by the speaker and GPRS icon, then go to Today options and do not use the Date on the main screen area.
try rlToday (search this forum). Ask those skinning guys there to get you a 1 line simple skin. It is easy to make.
Thanks I ended up using the cab that puts the date above the time.

ok i just flashed my phone to the new t-mobile rom from their site i hae the mda back before i flashed it i did a few things to it and now i cant find those things but here it is maybe someone can help ok i want my battery to be on the tittle bar instead of the bottom right corner also the time use to be on the same line on the home screen as the date. i also had this speed dial app on my homescreen wich i can assign pictures to but when i didnt have pictures they were just blue buttons with the name on it. i believe i got these from this sight but this was way back in like may and i cant seem to find them
where is this new ROM? do u have an URL?
I just wanna get rid of that battery logo
Are you sure you got the right one? As what I can see from their site, here
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/download_manager_mda_vario.html
It seems that they dont seems to have any new ROM. Can you try soft reseting it and copy down all the numbers you see on the first screen?
As with the speedial, did you put that in?
yes i put the speed dial in i found it on here and i had also found everything else on here
Would be nice for the rest who reads this to know what you're answer was
The Speeddial plugin is indeed available on this forum. It's a standard plugin from the Treo WM versions..
You can change the icon on the top of your screen by changing the registry:
To show battery:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 0
To show the clock:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\TBOpt = 1
Ok. I was sooooooo confused with ademoc first post.
What I perceived was `ademoc got a new ROM from T-Mobile which removed all the AKU annoying battery meter and also included a speeddial in Today screen`. Guess I was dreaming.
Anyway, for others, he just flashed his phone and wanted to get all the software he got previously. So help.
ademonc, it is VERY strange that your battery meter is NOT on your top right. If the ROM you are using is the lastest ROM, you should have your battery on the top instead. You may want to try upgrading your ROM again with the file downloaded from T-Mobile webpage. It is not a very straight forward and easy thing to remove the battery meter from the top task bar. There are tons of thread here just to solve that 1 problem.
Anyway, as for your speed dial, here it is
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=919871#263842
ademonc, again, as I said in my previous post, can you soft reset your phone and write down the numbers you get from the 1st screen, just to double check you have the correct ROM. Or, go to Start - Settings - System - Device Information
thanks for yourhelp every one and the rom i just flashed my phone with is from the t-mobile website
Okay - I know how to change the width of scroll bars but what I am wondering is if there is a way to control where the start or end. Basically, I like to display my calender on my screen and I prefer the Calender app to the Today Agenda plugin included in the Faria ROM. When I get lots of appointments it puts scroll bar on the front screen.
Problem is that these start below the date line and block off part of the screen that I want to see. As you can see from the attached screen shot, the right hand side of the PhoneAlarm control panel is not visible, so I cannot see signal strength. I know I can see it at the top, but let's just say I am anal like that
What I wondering is if there is a way to force the scroll bars to start below the speed dial plug-in?
I don't think so. But if you use a different plugin for your calendar, then some of those can have a fixed size and their own scroll bar. I use Pocket Breeze and have mine set up just for that reason. PB has a scrollbar but the whole screen does not.
BTW: What is the tool bar right under your Date plugin???
BTW: What is the tool bar right under your Date plugin???
it's phonealarm,
i second 'the change the today agenda plugin height'
and also try out vijay's toggle to gain screen space

The tool under the date plugin is PhoneAlarm.
It's a great tool, and Bruce the author is a great developer, but I've had a few troubles >= WM5.
But, I love the app, and AlarmToday.
dcdivenut: regarding the scrollbars, it is possible but a little complicated and you have to registry edit, so backup first.
1. Backup Registry, then using a good registry editor go to
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today > Items
2. Find the Plugin you want to be scrollbar less, eg in my case VJAudioNotes.
3. Glance through the entries and find the one that says "Type". Double click type and change the value to 5
4. Go into Settings > Today and make some minor change to your today screen to force it to refresh (or just soft reset). Hopefully the changes will now be reflected.
This will force the plugin to the top of the screen and force scrollbars to occur under that plugin.
Eg:

Thanks
Thanks for the ideas (and sorry for the delay in gratitude, it has been a crazy day at work!)
The bar is indeed phoneAlarm and I am using the B&W Pure skin in minimized mode. It is a VERY useful tool that adds true profile capability with both time and activity based profile switching. The product has great support (forum based) and the next version (1.6) is in beta right now. There is also a lite version.
I will try some of the solution suggested and see what I can make work. I really wanted to stay away from utilizing another app just to prevent scroll bars so I will give vijay's process a shot and see what happens.
Worked perfectly
I tried Vijay's suggestion and it worked perfectly. Then for kicks and giggles I tried it with Battery status as well and it worked there too, forcing the scrollbar below that. Then I tried it with the photo dialer and it would not take so this is where I am at now, which is definitely a situation I can live with. Thanks Vijay!!
Not that I'm "Mr. OG" and been around this forum for a long time but I've done a **** load of reading in this forum and never once came across this. That is a fantastic little tip there VJ!
Good stuff!

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
That's what I'm here for. I have to say, I've also excreted an enormous amount of reading on the site, and can't say I've seen this tweak either, but one day I was fussing about with my plugins and thought I'd try it, and hey presto, Robert's your father's brother.
Post more screenshots guys.

Hi,
Is it possible to change the gap betweeen the items on the today screen ?
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Date
---------------------------------------------------------------------
change it to
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Date
---------------------------------------------------------------------
for example
thanks
Just wanted to bump this thread since I've got a similar problem.
When I've booted up It all looks great with extra space for the two-row-formated date.
But after awhile the space goes back to some sort of standard setting and half of the bottom line is, for a lack of a better word, "croped".
Anyone else got this problem ... or better yet, a sulotion?

After we had the summer time switch in the U.S. of A., the clock in the clock setting has chaged (1 hour ahead) and also shows that is all panels, except of the SE panel! If I change the time inside this panel, the rest of the panels and system time changes to a wrong time (2 hours ahead!).
Is there a cab for the SE panel in Generic_UK R2A 10 version so I can try to reinstall that panel (instead of resetting the entire device)?
Anybody else had this happen (in the U.S. of A. and another counrty where the time switched?
Regards
PS
Yeah I saw the panel here listed, but its listed since the phone came out and no info on it, so it is to presume that this is the panel from fw version R1A. If anybody has the new version, I could try to solve the problem by reinstalling that one. Unless one comes up with the registry entry to change that in there perhaps....
My time across WinMo changed, but the SE panel wasn't correct, I then checked the Daylight Savings time box and it corrected. Did you have that checked when you changed the time?
The time changed by itself. Where is this Daylight time box to checkmark? I don't see that.
Click on Options.
Go to your city.
Check daylight savings box.
Thanks a lot! There is was.... and now it is correct. However, why is this only with this panel? The others (fish i.e.) shows the correct time.
I actually don't know why it's like that. Maybe it's just a tiny programming thing that they messed up on.
Hi, all, just received my phone today and i am very pleased with it indeed, apart from some really stupid annoying things that HTC should be shot for, but have found fixes for most of them here today.
1: One of them was no notification LED`s on messages ect, i found a cab to fix it, but nowhere in the menu do any options appear?
2: Also on the TABS scroller at the bottom of the HD2 your are given the option to rearange the order, great!, what what about the shotcuts menu with the big icons, do i have to place every programe in the exact order i want it, does not seem to be any option to move it them about.
3: While i am on the subject of icons, is there any way in this world to move the icons on wm 6.5, into your own order without upgrading to 6.51 with the honeycombe option?.
4: I also read somewhere that the data connection does not also disconnet after a email download, there is a reg fix, but is there a cab for this, as i dont like messing with the reg.
Anyway sorry to go on, but after fixing about 5 other things that bugged the daylights out of me, i`m almost close to having the best phone in the world, just a little more tweaking.
Thanks for your help .
