Help with Vodafone v1605 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi people
Fairly new to the smartphone market and was wondering how i would get my phone to have the look and functionality of this orange phone as seen on the link below, i ask because i cant see where in the options i can get it.
You can see that there is a vertical icon thing going on and from using my brothers, i can say that when you hover over the text icon for instance it says who the last unread text is from and the same for missed calls. etc.
I hope this makes sense.

Silly O2 icon on task bar

OK I have spent a lonley evening searching the forum for the answer on this - if its here I am sorry i cant find it - on my (new today) xda IIi there is an o2 Icon on the task bar - it sits in the most troublesome of places and covers up parts of program headings - it must be simple enough but I canot work out how to get rid of it - I have searched for the icon file itself to get the name and search for a value in the reg but no avail - please help - someone - anyone!!!!!!!!!!!!
o2 icon
hi,
browse to the windows startup menu and it should be under connections, delete that shortcut and voila.....................
thank you somuch -
that was doing my brain in - what possesed them eh? - tell me that!!!!!
once again - thnks- it was the only thing PISSING ME OFF SO FAR
o2 icon
no probs........here 2 help
You can actually just tap and hold for a second or so on the icon, and a menu appears with a slide bar...letting you move the icon wherever you want it, that's if you want to keep it anyway.
I just cancelled the install of that all that O2 Active rubbish.
As I've stated before in here, I quite like the version that's on the 2i as it allows you to have different themes without it looking crap. Some of the features on this version are quite useful as well.
I've always wanted a screen that makes use of all aspects of the screen as it would a normal Nokia mobile, for example with battery life up the side and signal strength up the other, with some space to actually show the picture you've chosen.
I don't suppose anyone's found anything like that recently have they? I gave up looking 6 months ago!

??? Send Text Plugin????

Okay-- maybe I'm just imagining this-- but it seems like I've had it on a phone before--
Is there a plugin for the today screen that allows you type and send the message right from there? Not linking you to the phones messaging program-- but with an input box and everything right there on the today screen?
Like I said-- I think I've had this on a phone-- but I don't know anymore for sure-- or what it would have been-- I appreciate the help--
Thanks--

Icons help?

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 .
No takers, will subscribe and wait

Annoying Notification Icon

Hi guys, i'm a rookie to wm, and hd2 was my first phone with this os, so sorry if this thread is "stupid"
My problem :
I have a "1" notification icon on my top status bar, and i don't know what it is and how to remove it. Any help in this matter is much appreciated.
I've searched the forum for a similar problem, but no luck.
Best regards,
A fan of xda-developers
press the top bar on the icon. it will take you to either a missed call or message etc. it will then disappear when you have seen what it was that you missed.
Nope. It's a notification for Line 1.
Someone already asked this a month ago here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=634723
I've searched n pages for that topic but haven't found it
So if it is network dependent, it can't be removed.
Thanks
as far as i know, in romania, vodafone has the posibility to own a SIM card with 2 numbers/lines on it... maybe that's why you have it... you could trey if you have this service active through a phone call to customer care

Viewing messages from Notifications bar...

On my old Touch Pro when you recieved a message whatever program you were using at the time if you clicked at the black bar at the top for notifications then on the view message icon it would display in a little bubble at the bottom of the screen overlayed ontop of the program you were using so you could quickly view the message and then minimize it an contiue what you were doing or click reply and it would enter you into text messaging. Is there anyway to enable this feature for HD2. Because I miss it!

have you recently flashed a rom? if so what back up program did you use to backup/restore PIM data? When i flashed my first rom i was using SPB Backup and when restoring PIM data, it would loose the bubble you talk about, I have since used PIM Backup and not had an issue.
Its always been like it, with first ROM, i upgraded to 1.66 and now im on 1.72, by the way big mistake! My phone is now slow as hell and doesnt send texts or recieve whether updates!
I assumed that it was the new stly of notifications menu and hoped there was a way to enable the other style?

About to flash myself. I'll come back here if I get any problems.
Ok let me know ive found its not so bad now 1.72 I am currently on a personal record(this is not a joke this is the longest ive ever been able to run the phone without reseting) of 17hours 23minutes without needing to soft reset however i have had to do funny things to make that possible see here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=666458
Can anybody tell me if in any ROM version when u get a text in and click in the notifications menu it opens the message in a bubble at the bottom rather than taking u too messages tab??
Thanks
Anyone know how to display message in the pop up bubble from the notifications bar rather than sending you straight to the messages tab (useful for reading the message while in another program)???
Many thanks
Still after a way to get this working really want to be able to quickly read a message while in another prograam like i used to on my toch pro. Help would be appreciated thanks

Very easy: Start, Settings, Menu, More, Sounds and Notifications, Choose New Message from DropdownMenu, Check "Show Message", Done
Greets
If i am in the right place it is greyed out and doesnt let me check the box although for me to get there it is:
start/settings/menu/all settings/sounds & notifications/ then click notifications tab then select New Message from DropdownMenu but the "Display message on screen" is greyed out?
Thanks for the reply
Hmm strange maybe it is ROM-dependant...? Or there are other settings need to be made in order to use this option...? Which ROM are u using? Have you got BSBTweaks installed?
No i dont have bsb tweaks installed i dont like the way you cant reset to defaults, i do have hd2 tweaks installed though.Will bsb tweaks make it work? im running latest voda Rom 1.72.

Actually i dont think that this has to do with BSB. I relly dont have an idea as the checkbox "Show Message" is a standard function of every windows mobile version Anybody else got an idea why the box is greyed out...?
I went searching through the registry and found keys which were in the NOTIFICATIONMGR bit which had a path linking to Messaging_Client which i guess is what directs it to the manilla messaging bit when you get a message. I tried deleting the path and deleting the values in the CMD bit but it still does the same. I restored the key after just incase it affected something else but presumably there is a key somewhere which controls whether or not you can click that check box but i have no idea where i would find it? Anyone know.
