SORTED - Battery/Clock Problem in IMate ROM Update

I think I have sorted the problem on the new Imate Rom update showing the battery instead of the clock in the top bar.
I removed the file "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".
Now the Battery still shows on the Today Screen - But the clock shows on all other screens.
As the clock is shown elsewhere in the Today Screen thats works for me.
I just have to wait and see if removing the Init_Tray.exe creates any problems - if anyone knows, please let me know.
As an alternative, the clock is shown with other things if you use WisBar from here http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products.php?prod=WisBar+Advance

You can do the same thing by applying a reg hack or using Tweaks2k. You don't have to remove the init_tray.exe.

heh.. most of the people would consider the Battery vs Time issue to -be- the fact that it disappears on the Today screen. You can still configure the date/time to be displayed in other applications by simply going through the date/time configuration settings last I checked on the status of this.

Go to Control Panel/System/Clock and Alarms
Click on 'More' Tab. Select 'Display the clock on the title bar in all programs'. Click okay
It does the the same thing as what pewe mentioned, but without the hassle. LOL!! I can not believe you didn't spot that!?

Clock Disappearing On Today Screen
The problem with the built in 'show clock in status bar in all programs' is that it woeks for everything except the Today screen. You can add it back in as part of the day date plug in for the today screen, but that takes up space. I preferred the old version where the battery was in the system tray at the bottom, the clock showed at the top and you could add the clock to all other programs. Why do we have to go backwards with these ROM updates? :x

Erm... I belive the problem is to get RID of the battery on the taskbar, and add the clock there for the today screen like it used to be in the older roms... Sadly I've moved back to using an old dopod rom because of this little issue, and i'm not upgrading again till this is fixed

I have install the new ROM and find out that the Battery icon will show on the top right corner, and the time (clock) will show on the same level as the date
I did not find this anoying ??
I will think it's nice to have the Battery icon on the TOP :roll:
I'm I missing something ? Is there other catch ?
let me know
thanks
Update : I guess I get it, having the Time not in the top bar, will then bother when you move to other screen then the Home screen. You will then miss the time
hum hum, I have to think and see in a long term if that bother me after all.

Go to Control Panel/System/Clock and Alarms
Click on 'More' Tab. Select 'Display the clock on the title bar in all programs'. Click okay

I have 2 Wizards and found that the 'Clock on every page' worked on one but not the other, whereas removing the Init_tray.exe worked on both.
Put the file back on both this morning, and now they both work. Weird!!!

what if............
8) 8) What if someone uploads an older init_tray.exe from an original rom and we try that inplace of the current one?? 8) 8)
Can someone upload please and let us know the location?

csian, replacing the init_tray with an older version would likely only give the battery icon in the tray, if that is desired. personally i don't want ANY battery indicator (already use the battery indicator from Pocket Plus) but with the Imate rom, i still get the top bar battery indicator (ugh)... tried all the reg hacks, even with new values just to see how it responds, but didn't find one that removed the battery from the top bar... (sigh)
Just FYI.

So sorry

8) 8) Just thought it was worth a shot because the battery indicator in the tray was really only a link to power settings and not really an indicator. Getting rid of the current battery icon and putting the clock back in the top right corner is what I really want. 8) 8)

I noticed something while resetting my 9100. The clock doesn't disappear from the top bar. It is only covered by the battery meter it seems. It was on my screen for a minute before the battery meter showed up. THis makes me think that some program has been added that may also be able to be deleted.

How about it..............
8) 8) Anyone got an original init_tray.exe they can upload. (Someone with clock still in upper right hand corner of Today Screen) PLEASE. 8) 8)

Here it's and I hope it will help you to get the time back in old style!!!
This file is from T Mobile NL version!

init_tray.exe from Tmobile US MDA original ship rom
here's the init_tray from my Tmobile MDA US (prior to updating to latest kjam).
hopefully someone has some success getting that battery meter off! might scan my older registry from the Tmobile rom to see if perhaps its an entry that was added by tmobile's customizations perhaps?
peace
Edit/Note: just copied init_tray.exe from the US ship rom and all it did was add the battery meter into the tray area and the battery on top stayed.. but that migth be because init_tray.exe is in the rom and still runs... also, even by just disabling init_tray.exe from starting up (i moved the init_tray.lnk from teh startup folder and soft reset but still had the battery meter but didn't have the tray icons showing my wifi connection..) so init_tray might not be the one.. but i could be wrong too.. hehe.. still a new w/wm5 and my mda..

Thanks guy's
8) 8) Ya I tried the older init_tray files and it didn't work for me either. It must be in the registry or a dll somewhere boy I wish we could figure this out. If anyone has a registry dump for a wizard with the clock still at the top I would like to compare to my current registry and see if I can find the culprit. 8) 8)

'd get you one, but I still haven't gotten around to getting a nice clean hard reset.. so mine's littered with crap from botched installs and unclean uninstalls. If anybody else wants to try it - TRE (Tascal Registry Edit) will export the registry to a file.

Could anyone please tell me how to remove the battery icon?

I do not like the Battery icon on the taskbar, since I am using pocketplus, I really do not need the Battery icon on taskbar, and also it blocked the data and time display. Could anyone please let me know how to remove the battery icon? Is there any hack on that?
Thanks for any inputs and thoughts.

Hi, i don't know if it could help you but i put the icon on the tray using that cab, it works great on Prophet 'even usin a Orange French ROM).
Please feed back here.

Sorry, it s not a cab but an exe.
Just put in directely on your Pocket and lauch it.

The PowerTray work fine. But it did not resolve the issue - "Remove the Battery Meter on the TopMenu" .
Any suggestion? Thanks.

Same here.

Hi folks!
I found this .cab, just copy it to your Prophet and run it from there.
It will take the battery icon from the top menu and display the time.
The only problem I see with this, is that if you select the "Display the Clock on the Title Bar on all programs" located on Settings/Clock and Alarms it takes the battery icon on the Today screen back!
Best regards,
Rayan

Uknown Clock has appeared

E guys, another one for the experts :-D
I've been trying to solve this since yesterday.
(Refer to pics)
The red arrow is pointing to an unknown digital clock. I'm suppose to see the battery icon there, and I would like to have my battery ICON back please smiley hehehe.
When you click on the digital clock you get that second screen with the balloon message.
(Please refer to pics below)
Ive seen no configuration to bring back that HTC battery meter. There is although another battery meter with pocket plus, but I want to use the original one because clicking on it takes you to the WM battery ap whilst the pocket plus one does nothing sad
Last applications installed that I think mite have caused it?
- SPB Pocket Plus
- Pocket Infromant
But I cant find the settings on either of the two.

im not sure how to disable it but it looks like pocket informant.

How did you get that there? I want to disable HTC home and put that there but there's no option to! =( Lucky.

Go to the clock settings, on the last tab there is an option for this.

I dont know how it got there, it just suddenly appeared :-(
@****er: Clock settings didnt work for me, it wasnt even selected :-(

if it isnt what ****er suggested then you must have advanced config installed, its under the today section top item, show on title bar, battery or clock

Like mentioned before on clocks & alarms on settings System tab. on More tab uncheck the display clock option and it should remove it.

Battery icon does not show on top bar

hi guys, this is my virgin post. I have a diamond 2 and was using it for about 2months now. recently, i realised that my battery indicator dissappeared from the top task bar. It only shows the signal, sound, and time... no more battery indicator. I have been searching for an answer but no success. have tried installing the customised battery icons contributed by you guys but no success as the battery icon still does not show.
any suggestions or help on this? much appreciated.
p.s - i was using a magincian, O2 mini and recently upgraded the ROM to the one by cortulla. it's like getting a brand new phone, though the memory on the mini sucks big time. just want to express my thanks for all the contributors. i hope i can contribute something too in future.

i realised that the down-pointing arrow on the right of the taskbar is missing too. So i am unable to view the running programmes.... can someone help me please?

The battery/time indicator is some setting in windows mobile. I don't know how to change it in windows but you can easily do it with WVGA tweak / HD tweak.
And about the program manager, it's also some setting i don't know accactly were you can find it..
Try searching in the setting tab.. then system.. somewere there should be an option about taskmanager, and then something about show on home screen / show in tray
