Show tasks on Today screen - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

I've just got my second refurbished V1605 (HTC TyTn) back from Vodafone.
Voda install a load of customisation software when you do your first boot. One of the things this does is take away almost all of the useful stuff you can put on the Today screen and replaces it with Vodafone apps. In particular, I like to have my Tasks list on the Today screen, but thanks to the Voda customisation, Tasks no longer even appears in the list of Today items under Settings>Today>Items.
Does anyone know how to uninstall the Vodafone customsation software or is there a registry hack to put Tasks back on the Today screen?
For info, my first TyTn from Voda had this issue. My second one appeared to have a more recent version of WM5 installed (green splash screen with a "direct push technology" logo). On this one, all the usual WM5 Today screen items as well as the Voda apps were available. Now my third TyTn has gone back to the previous version of WM5 and the issue is back. I don't know is VOda are shipping replacement phones out with different OS versions, or whether my second phone had been updated by a user, or whatever, but I don't fancy trying to explain any of the above to the infinite number of monkeys working on their "help" line!

VJBigPhone, T-Mobile Videobutton on MDAPro

Hi all,
I am aware about all the other threads but yet could not get across some nonsense on my MDA Pro.
I went back to the t-Mobile ROM because of german support on many features but running ozVGA now successfully with two exceptions:
1. Each time I reset the device, I have to reinstall vjbigphone (0.91) and re-run the .exe to get my dialer back to full screen. VJ did a real got job, but I hope anyone coud tell me, what could be wrong?
2. Does anyone know, how to get rid of the stupid and ugly video-button in the t-mobile dialer? I replaced all BMPs with the one's from iMate, but yet video is the stupid grey. flat button.
Once this is solved, I will write down exactly how to get really the tiny machine running with the best tools for best results.
Greetings
ndee

GSPpocketmagic Problem... I now have TWO start menus?

I'm not sure if this is how GSP is supposed to function... When I click the Start ICON - I get the new GSP menu which I like. When I click on the word "START" I get the old menu, which is now redundant. Both menus work and operate fine... I just think perhaps it would run faster with the original one disabled.
Is there a fix for this?
Edit: This is on an O2 XDA Exec
Also - has anyone with the O2 unit used a non-O2 rom and got faster screen rotations? That's one feature that bugs the crap out of me
Also another note - is there anything like the E-Ten diallers that actually work on our phones? I just got a very small version of the keypad on the screen and had to remove it.

getting default WM5 Today plugins in Vodafone's v1605

i've had chance to play with v1605 in Vodafone UK shop and i've noticed that vodafone has ripped off default Windows Mobile Today plugins, such as calendar, todo list, owner information etc. personally i really think it's crap thing to do, but is there any way to get them back? some reghack or maybe installing them from some .cab? anyone who using vodafone's Hermes/TyTN found way to do it?
btw, the model which i played with, had S/N HT626 and in fact some keys on sliding keyboard needed more pressure to make them work. other interesing news - it was unlocked! my Virgin Mobile SIM card worked fine.

thanks, however since i have MDA Vario II with all standard plugins present, i don't need that solution any more. but maybe someone else will find it useful.

Question regarding M5000 today screen.

I have the exec jasjar and am wondering if I can add that nifty little menu on the left side of my today screen like on the M5000?
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
Without installing that operator plug, you can use pocket Breeze, making the same think...and much...
?
Do you know where I can get that operator plug?
You're probably thinking of the orange operator plugin. You need to check your extended rom for something like eg hermes_uk_build_93_clock.cab (at least on my hermes).
But the plugin is distributed on this forum repackaged.

That side menu reduces features compared to Windows original today menu. Dang I like the Windows Media player on the front screen in minimized position ^^. That side menu is good for managing contacts and making a quick phone call. But I dont think you will be able to use it in future ROM's.
I searched and cant find it either on the forum or in the ext rom, can you point me in the right direction?

disable orange branding

hi, I'm Ed, and ive got a big problem with my htc touch 3g, and i think its time to sort it out. Okay, my touch 3g is on orange (contract) and obviously i wanted the original touchflo 2d on it (Black and Blue-ish kind of theme) but, instead it gave me two crap choices of ORANGE BRANDED themes, the really awfull orange(TM) homescreen theme, or just a wierd black-on-white version of touchflo 2d. I chose the wierd touchflo, but honestly, i dont want either. I just want atleast the ORIGINAL M2D THEME, or the choice for others. Ive been trying to resolve this problem by using numerous options, ive downloaded Manilla 2D customizer, downloaded soo many themes (atleast 7 now) and none of them work, there is alway some problem with it, Ive tried nearly every recomended option. All I want, is to be able to just have a normal htc touch 3g software on it with a normal touchflo on it. I REALLY want to get rid of this orange(TM) branded stuff on it, (including that stupid 'unique manager') on it. Please, is there anybody that understands my problem, and can give me a step-by-step guide on how to do it. Please reply (PLEASE)
Hi Ed,
Though i don't have an Orange brand Jade i understand your problem; there are several threads on this forum about it.
If you really wanna get rid of all the orange stuff, there's no other choice i guess then to unlock your phone (which is not sim unlock) using HardSPL s you can flash another ROM.
Put on your reading glasses and start over here:

Out of curiosity, how different is Orange TF from the default TF (the blue background). Are the tabs different, what else is different. Any screen shot ? (Need to understand the situation before offering useful assistance)
There are two options for TF with orange customers. One is basicaly the normal Touch Flo with orange's background on the home page, and a few different tabs (an "Orange World" on and a few others missing, Google Maps at least iirc). The other is one similar to other, older Orange phones, with a shortcut menu on the home screen, which I hate and so didn't actualy use and cant tell you much about.
Ed, if you just want the normal touchflo I definatly saw an option to change it before i flashed mine, I think it was a program in the Start > Programs screen just called "Change Orange Screen" or something similar.
the main reason i unlocked the phone (HSPL) and flashed the WM6.5 overloaded ROM was to get away from the Orange crap too!
They have seriously messed with the network/internet side of things... i was horrified to see i could not connect to the interent with Wifi... i managed to get it to do it... but it took some messing about and its a case of forcing it.. and it not really liking it!
with this overloaded rom and the touch flow running (instead of windows default like i did have lol) i think its great! Its really built around Wifi and then using Hspda or what ever it is as a second option if wifi's not available! well worth re-flashing too!
i just want to know how i change the order of the icons at the bottom... messages, email, footprint etc
dont really see what foot print is tbh haha!
Do a hard reset then soft reset before the phone can customize. All the orange stuff is loaded after the main hard reset
