Does anyone know a way to put the date on the taskbar with the start button and time etc? I want to do this so I can remove the date from the today screen, and also so I can see the date from any window, like the time.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
At section `Change the display of the clock in the taskbar`
Note: Once you've change the registry. Give it a good (say) 3-5 minutes for it to have it registered/stored before doing a soft reset. If the time/date doesn't change after soft reset, check the registry again, probably you didn't give it enough time to update. Although this reg edit is relatively harmless, back up your device before doing so.

Thanks, this worked great, I have the date on my taskbar now, however when trying to alter the short date I have a problem. If I do this example given, "To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" = ddd/d" then this works fine. What I actually want is to show the day and the month, i.e. for the 5th June, i'd like it to display 05/06. I've tried to do this but it displays as "05/m". Any ideas why this happens?
bumpety bump!
You need to use an uppercase M, not lowercase m.
m = minutes, which is invalid in the date field, so it just uses 'm'
M = month, which is valid in the date field, and so should show the date.
Note that if you want the leading zero, you'll need to use MM.
What device or ROM does the Tweaks thread cover?
My Cingular 8125 doesn't have the key described for changing the clock and/or date on the taskbar. :?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell has no "TBOpt" key on my 8125.
Anyone know where the tweak can be made on the 8125?
Thanks.

Cool - Thanks.
I had considered it, but without knowing, I didn't want to add a key.
No problem! Just post again if you have any trouble
I tried to do this per instructions but the final 6 (5/5/06) cuts off. I tried to change it to short date but it didnt work. I had to add the SSDte key but it deletes everytime i restart the phone.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? It appears the date is being cut off...
That's the space reserved for the X/OK button covering the 6.
I don't know how to change the date in the taskbar to the short date format. That would probably help.

Ok.. now in short format with either M/d or M/dd I get some odd display. See attached.
Did you try leaving a pace or two after the date code?

Where was the registry key for changing the date, BTW? (Never get used to this WM5!!)
Never mind - add it, right?
I'm looking for keys that ain't there again!
Does this work on the AKU2 roms?

I used RegistryWizard to get the date onto the taskbar. It does not have any formating options for the date... thus why im in this thread.
See here for RegistryWizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Some people are having issues with the latest version (including me) but the second most recent works fine to add the date.
Hey guys,
I need to switch the location of my contacts and calendar for my softkeys, anyone know how to do that?
Here is the location in the registry:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys/112
This is for the calendar. Change "default" to the text you want displayed and "open" to the path of the app.
If it doesn't exist, create a new key called 113 under:
hkcu/software/microsoft/today/keys
same setup under 113 as 112.
Here's a slightly easier way of doing it. Download this file, rename the extension to .cpl and put in your \windows folder, soft-reset and then goto Start -> Settings -> System -> Soft-Key
See next below for the cab.
Here it is in Cab file for those who prefer a 'one-click' solution....
The control panel item in the cab kyphur attached above is integrated into the custom Cingular ROMs 2.24 and above...that I build anyway.

When I use it to set a soft key for New SMS or New MMS, it says canot find file. Any idea how to resolve?

Was it present in Cingular_RUU_Wizard_AKU2.3_Custom_RNG_THM_A2DP_TEST.exe or perhaps added to the followup? I don't see the shortcut present in Start --> Settings --> System.
I don't particularly want it, but am more curious why I don't see it and wondering if there's anything more than just the radio ROM different between the two builds.
Thanks for all your hard work on this! I'm on record as the first to kiss your @$$ in my tagline. Though that guy offering to have your kids & seahorse stuff - well, that was a pretty strong show of support even if a bit spooky. I thought it might be cool if others running your custom ROMs did the same with their tags and you could see the positive impact on the community by a show of raw numbers. :mrgreen:
just wondering im trying to map my left softkey to new sms and well it says cant find tnsms does any one know how to fix that or no
Summiter:
First, let me kneel, grovel, worship, etc. The new ROM is awesome!
However...
In the Softkey program that you included, you need to change the name of the file that "Calendar" accesses to just 'Calendar.exe', not 'HTCCalendar.exe'. (on the 8125, anyway).
Haven't tried the rest of the soft key functions, but that one had a little problem. Easy enough to fix:
HKCU
Software
Microsoft
Today
Key 113 (at least, on my machine, might be different...),
change the "Open" value to \windows\Calendar.exe.

Put the attached file in your \Windows folder and soft reset. Then you shoud be able to assign a soft-key to "New SMS" and it will work.

It's in test2..my bad. The radio and the softkey applet are the only things added to test2.
I don't need any thanks. I do like to see folks learning and asking productive questions though.
If you want to remove the softkey program, how do you do it? I can't delete the .cpl file from /Windows for the life of me. Thanks.
(Softkey is quite buggy... plus a lot of it's mappings are incorrect. Even if I edit the registry and change the mapping, softkey changes it back to the incorrect mapping upon soft-reset).
i might be needing this..
(anyone know how to tag a thread without bumping it?)
Files include the default WM6 alarm wavs, the original ringers including oldphone, Schap's purple theme (thanks!), the "no sounds" wavs to stop those menu clicks, Smartskey copied to \Program Files (but not activated), startclean to \Startup to remove program history and the green welcomhead.95 splash screen.
Reg tweaks include..
Notifications - removed "Connection Established" and set "Incoming Mail" to Alarm3
Sounds - disable annoying beeps when changing call volume or dropped calls
Inbox - disabled account selector, empty deleted items set to manual, return to inbox when deleting.
Pocket IE - temp files, history and cookies stored on storage card, Cleartype and search set to google.
Sleuth's google tweak for Windows Live Search
Screen size set to Largest, ClearType enabled including Landscape.
TimeZones tab displayed and enabled.
Battery removed from Today screen and replaced with clock and clock displayed on all screens.
Backlight changed from 30 seconds to 1 minute
Also, glyphcache is set at 32768, file system cache untouched, IR Beam turned off.
Cingular keyboard settings

edited 10-30-2007 DP_WM6 with Vibrate is a slightly modified WM6 cab with AT&T Splash removed, Security Policies modified for unsigned cabs and RAPI access (Mobile Registry Editor won't give a "access denied", HSDPA icon (when available) and also, with Schaps' permision, his neat looking com manager vibrate file. Schaps Vibrate is renamed to allow installing this into a ROM that already has Vibrate. Delete either my Schaps_TrayIcon_MannerMode or TrayIcon_MannerMode from \Windows\Startup. BTIcon, latest XMMobiResetter and Landscape Cleartype are included. This is the same cab as the DP_WM6 with Vibrate & Batteryguage without the RandomAccess and Batterguage.
edited 10-16-2007 DP_WM6 with Vibrate
Added new cab with clean 3G Icon, latest xmmobitvresetter in \Windows\Startup. Also made the BTIcon a shortcut per Kyphur's suggestion. Also, Schaps Vibrate is renamed to allow installing this into a ROM that already has Vibrate. Delete either my Schaps_TrayIcon_MannerMode or TrayIcon_MannerMode from \Windows\Startup.
Also included is a barebones registry and clean 3G cab, no files except for the clean 3g file.
edited 10-31-2007 DP_WM6 with Vibrate & Batteryguage
Removed the themes and Samsung Clock. Added TWEAKCL.EXE to \Windows\Startup for Landscape Cleartype. Also added ClearType Tuner to the Control Panel and the RandomAccess Grey files, also BTIcon, latest XMMobiResetter and the Alarrm 1-5 files.
Excellent Doctor Putt..! Thanks.. A few things in there I can prolly use without searching for each individual thing..
Now if I could find the setting to disable IR Beam....

I don't remember who made it, but someone made a great comm manager that had the option to disable IR beam...find that and you might be in biznaz!
You don't mean the
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Obex\IsEnabled key?
Or does this do more than just the IR beam?

glad to be a help.
I used sktracker when finding this and also when doing my own setup cab. great bit of software.

Thanks bro, a proggy I've been looking for.
These reg settings were found in 4 different wiki's here... I'll document each key later this week.
What is the 650k ATT file in the cab?
tnx

You dont have the shortstring stuff in your cab though. But the cingular cabs do.
See the CAB and/or the XML here.

yes sir you are correct, i did it all with xml.. if you open my cab with wince and click on the pre and post xml under the provisioning category you will see the xml code i hacked up all the different xml files for settings and made 2 seperate ones.. if you decide to do a similar thing, make sure you leave out the first and last lines "<WAP-PROVISIONING DOC>" .... Wince does not like these...
My findings for settings
Nice job !
In between multiple flahes of various roms I found a big relief in skipping the first windows dialogs with date, mail, touch calibration etc. by adding a blank file "welcome.not" in the root of the storage card and add the touch settings [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP\TOUCH\CalibrationData] in my own settings cab.
It works very well for me, so I thought I'd share it.
cheers,

I'm running DCD 3.0.1 and installed an OEM into my kitchen that sets up a 2 line clock in my taskbar rather than just the clock, so above it shows the date and time...anyway, i'm also running wkTask as my task manager and something seems to cut off the end of my date so all i see is:
Code:
4/7/0
3:06
i cant see the year (even though i know what year it is its nice for it to show all of it, not just a cut off 8)
so does anyone know how i can slide it over to the left just a few pixels?
also, does anyone know if there is a skin button for wkTask when it's at the today screen? all i see is an empty box, but when i have a task open i see an X or OK
use Schaps Advance Config Utility..its stickied on top
Use this. Please note the extra spaces after the year.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NLS\OVERRIDES]
"SSDte"="M/dd/yy "

awesome...that looks like it'll work
but, i cooked a different rom cuz i was tired of waiting and needed to add voice command back and i left out the 2line OEM
do u know how i can re enable it maybe through schaps or registry? the wm5.0 reg tweak in the wiki didnt work for me and it just gave me a mested up looking battery when i changed the dword to 3 so im guessing the registry changed in wm 6.1, i dont know how to take apart an RGU or whatever that file is in the OEM folder to see what it does so maybe u can help or guide me back to 2 line clock?

so is there something else I have to change?

but I can't add programs to the last 3 lines.
Use Manilla 2D Customizer (M2DC)

Not just a little bit I will take a look there
Wondering
I added the registry entries to allow for more, this all seemed to work, clicked on a button to add the appropriate new link, comes back, no icon. I go into Diamond TF3D Config and can see that the entries are in there, but TFlow3D wont action or show the icons - very confusing, there must be something we are missing and my Swiss German is sadly lacking - any ideas?
