Restoring the 'Calendar' Today Screen Registry Entry

Hey guys, Ive ran into a little problem.
I was messing around with Memaid, and I accidently deleted the 'Calendar' registry entry for the today screen, which also removed the entry from the Settings>Today>Items menu.
I assume the actual entry is in: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
Would someone be kind enough to look up the entry for me so I could add it back to my registry.
Thanks!

Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Flags = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Options = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Order = 33
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\Type = 1
"Order" will change as you move it around.

Thanks!

I only have experience with PHM, TRE and Total Commander's registry editing, unfortunately. However, they all work more or less the same.
Somewhere in Resco's File Explorer should be a registry editor. See that you get that running first Then navigate to...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
You should have a menu option somewhere where you can choose 'Create' or 'New', followed by 'Key'. Pick that one and you'll probably be asked to give it a name. For the name, choose "Calendar" (with quotes here, though I don't think you need it with the quotes).
That should get you the...
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Calendar"\
key.
Now in the same menu where you could create a Key, you can probably choose to create a "DWORD" or "decimal" value. Pick that one for each of the items I had listed, and give it the appropriate name. E.g. "Enabled". It will likely also ask you for the value you want to give it - enter the numbers above (make sure that if you get an option to either edit in decimal, hexadecimal or binary, that you're using decimal. Doesn't matter for most of these, but for any future registry edits it'd be good to keep in mind to pick the correct one).
That's all there is to it
Alternatively, I believe that Resco can 'import' .reg files, and somebody could toss this in a .reg file for you to import - I don't know what type of .reg file Resco expects, or I'd attach one myself
It's good to know how to work those registry editing things anyway.

Equivalent entries for Mail?
I just installed and removed GoodLink (a corporate email client) on my Treo 700w. It modifies the Today screen and replaces Mail with it's own entry.
However after removing GoodLink I found that my old mail entry on the today screen was not restored. I used the phm registry editor to add this:
Code:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Enabled = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Flags = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"\Mail"\Options = 0
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Order = 9
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Selectability = 1
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Mail"\Type = 2
which makes Mail appear in the list of available Today plugins. However if I enable it in the today options nothing appears on the Today screen.
Can someone supply the corect entries or tell me what I might be missing? Thanks.

Cingular 8125 - Slow, Slow, Slow

Switched from a SX66, on my second 8125. Both have been incredibly slow loading programs, switching between screens etc. 20 - 60 second waits. Phone is great when works. Must soft reset multiple times a day.
I use 10,000+ contacts and XpressMail, small amount of tasks and calendar, that is it. No third party programs.
Any ideas on how to speed this thing up?
Thanks :x

Cingular's stock ROM is way slow, locks ups and needs frequent reboots. All of the ROM upgrades here have been better than what came on the phone. Right now summiter's efforts seem to be most beneficial to us Cingular owners. And you're in for a treat 'cause he figured out how to go back to the original if needed...

Maybe... I just tested the link and it's OK. Change over to the Wizard upgrading etc forum and look for Cingular 8125 users: 2 custom RUU upgraders available .
Good luck!

Quick solution is to hard reset and then soft reset before Ext rom loads. You have to then manually load XpressMail, but speed is now much better.
I am having some bluetooth disconnect issues, still need to figure that out. Was working fine with cingular ext rom.
Any ideas?

xpressmail blows. too bad you need to use it. as for speed-tweaks, here's a list of reg-edits that includes a few that keep my c8125 moving at a decent pace while i wait for a cingular 2.xx rom update.

[Bluetooth settings] Where is the executable for BT settings

Hi all,
I want to put an icon on my Resco today plugin which launch the bluetooth settings.
Where is the .exe ?
In \windows\, nothing except btlauncher.exe and nothing appear when I click on it.
Any idea ?

the bluetooth settings reside in a file called cplmain.cpl then you just add ,23 for bluetooth all settings are in this file
eg. windows/cplmain.cpl,23 wisbar advance desktop can create a shortcut to this executable i dont know about any other program. here is a full list of cpl commands
Wisbar shortcut list P3600/M700
New>shortcut. Select your windows folder and show all files. Select "cplmain.cpl". Now as your shortcut add a
comma after the period followed by a number. As Shown: (I am not sure the exact number) You would type
"cplmain.cpl,6" without the ". The numbers usually range from 1 - 13, check them all out as they also open up
brightness,
e-backup,, etc.
1 = lock (password)
2 - Owner info
3 = Power
4 = Memory
5 = About
6 = ?
7 = Screen settings (rotate etc..)
8 = Input
9 = Sounds & notifications
10= Remove Programs
11= Menus
12= Buttons
13= Today
14= ?
15= Beam
16= Clocks & alarms
17= WIFI Config
18= Regional settings
19= Connections
20= Phone settings
21= ?
22= Manage certificates
23= Bluetooth settings
24= Error reporting
25= GPS settings
26= Comm manager

Argghh
This tip is not allowed in Resco today, I can't modify a shortcut by adding specific parameters and I can't create a shortcut of cplmain.cpl,23.
Maybe I shall use wisbar advance desktop...
thx for your help.

adding icons to HTChomePlug

I technically know how to add icons to the htchomeplug i just don't know how to change the icon
hklm\software\htc\htchomplug\*add new key*
my problem is the iconindex number, which seems to control the icon. when i change it to a different number the icon disappears but if you click over the area where the icon was the program will still launch.

You can use RViewer (google it, don't remember where I found it), or just go with 0.
This is mentioned in the "original post" on the HTChomeplug modifications.

thanks for the help
HTC HOMEPLUG
First is access using the registry editor to this entry:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/HTCHomeplug
There is the configuration of the plugin. There we will find two entries pointing to the first two icons (Battery and Rotation) that seems to be configured in a different way that the rest of the icons. Those are the two DWORD entries:
PowerIconSlot with value of 0 (this means the first position in the plugin)
RotateIconSlot with value of 1 (this means the second position)
The rest of the positions in the HTCHomeplug appears like KEY entries with names from 2 to 5 meaning positions 3 to 6 in the plugin bar.
Inside each key (2 to 5) we find 3 values (or entries):
1- iconindex DWORD type of Decimal which contains 103 in the case of entry KEY 2
** I used a program called RViewer (for PPC) develop by Vicott Wong to find the iconindex**
2- LaunchApPath STRING contains the path to the executable file associated to the icon
3- ResPath STRING contais the path to the resource file which contais the icon image poited by iconindex entry. This path points to a DLL or EXE file containing the icon image.
So... since we want to add a icon/application we need to create the entry KEY 6 and we must create both STRING entries and DWORD one inside the KEY 6.
To add Tomtom Navigator in the HTCHomeplug (as an example) I added:
iconindex = 101
LaunchApPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
ResPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
So I'm using the icon storaged in the Tomtom Navigator executable file itself and my Tomtom is in the path I show in the entry. Off course this could not match your installation.

Im trying to find a good phone icon!

Adding Wireless to Today Screen WM5

I have read many instructions on adding the wireless to the today menu
ie
You need to edit your registry as follows:
Create a new key called "Wireless" (with the quotes) in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\
Inside of that, create:
- a String called "DLL" (without the quotes) with its "netui.dll" (without the quotes)
- a DWord called "Order" (without the quotes) with value 00000000
- a DWord called "Enabled" (without the quotes) with value 00000000
- a DWord called "Type" (without the quotes) with value 00000004.
Close your Registry Editor, go straight to Start Menu, Settings, Personal, Today, Items, check to activate "Wireless" as a Today Item and return to the Today Screen to see it active.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The problem is I do not think my device has an up to date netui.dll, and it is not displaying it.
My netui.dll is from 2004.... could this be a problem?
Or is there any other reasons why this would not add it to my device? (it is showing up in the add items, but just not on the today screen)
Any suggestions?

Perhaps in -dword "order" you must do another number, because another plugin can have the 0. -Or try the cab.

After I install this cab it just locks up the device and I have to do a hard reset. Is there any special instructions with this cab?

No, I think you have a trubble with the plugins order. If you have 2 plugin with the same order, than it can make a reset. Look in the registry.
