Date on Today screen on one line problem - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

I've applied the registry setting to change it to one line, but, for whatever reason, it doesn't work at all.
I've tried using SKTools to change it, as well as direct registry modification, but neither works. I'd like to get the real estate back on my screen.
I've done Google searches, and searched this forum, but noone seems to know why it doesn't work when it's supposed to.
I've got the Black Satin WM6 ROM on an HTC TyTN.
Can anyone help, please?

Search for Aldate and LVMTime.

Thanks, but I'm looking for a solution to the problem, not another app to replace it.
Anyone know why this happens, and how to actually fix it?

Still looking for an answer here...

Skip initial touchscreen calibration

Okay, it looks like I broke my touchscreen trying to clean the gunk around it. The display itself is fine, it's only the touchscreen part that's broken. Anyways, what I need to find out, is there any way to skip the initial touchscreen calibration after a flash or a hard reset? The calibration comes up and I can't find any way to get past it. The touchscreen doesn't respond to any touch at all so there is no way to complete it. So I am kind of at an impasse. I know there is supposed to be a registry tweak you can do to skip it, but how do you do that without custom cooking your own rom?
Did you try searching for a solution?
This same question was asked what, within the last 3 days, and I posted links to possible solutions.

I did go through several pages, actually and couldn't find it. I also searched and didn't find it, though I did eventually manage to. You have to put a blank text file named "welcome.not" into the root of your minisd card.

Hi Avatar,
thank you very much. This tipp was the reason as the touchscreen on my wizard brokes, too.
But now i installed a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM on the phone and this trick didn't work more.
Have you a new tipp for me ?
I don't know how, but try to delete the "welcome.lnk" from the autostart directory. this should help to skip the touchpad calibration.
Maybe you have to cook a little bit to delete it.

Thank you, this worked for me. On a Touch Pro with WM6.5.

Today plugin dev question

Update: Seems to be fixed now!
I'm hoping someone has come across this before and can offer some advice...
I was looking for a today plugin similar to the Wireless one but that allowed you to toggle your radio devices directly from the Today screen.
I couldn't find one so I pestered a friend (Delphi programmer) at work to write one which he did (in C++). The problem is that the plugin occasionally disappears from the Today screen.
This usually happens when the today screen is changed in any way (reordered or something else added or removed etc.) Our plugin will show up again if you remove and add it but I'm sure this is a simple problem of something we've overlooked?
Any help/pointers would be appreciated.
I never wrote a today plugin but I belive he forgot to include some "on refresh" or "on paint" function.
This may help: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms839442.aspx
and this http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb278109.aspx
Thanks LGSilva.. That second link looks like it might have some answers
That looks like a good plug in, please do share if you do fix it. Please.
Anyone like to test it ?
It seems the height of the window wasn't being updated properly.
I want to add a few options like icons/text display to it and it needs an installer of some kind but it would be good to see if it works ok for other people (we've only tested it on a Dopod 810 and an iPaq)
You'll need to update your registry manually for now...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Eff Comm"]
"DLL"="\Windows\EffComm.DLL"
"Type"=dword:4
"Enabled"=dword:1
"Options"=dword:0

Im using original HTC-Rom 1.93 GER with some own graphics-manila-files created with Manila editor.
Any idea?

Try TodayAgenda V1.1.0 - at http://pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=1475.
It is a great today plugin which shows appointments, tasks - Very customizeable and I have mine showing appointments up to a week in advance. It work's very well on my HTC Touch Elf WM 6.0. I added the RL Calendar to the same page so that I have a calender above it and appointments showing beneath. All as one page in ultimateLaunch.
I see a lot of smarties here trying to be all ^%$%.
What he is asking for, as well as I need, is to be able to see more upcoming appointments while the TF3D is ON .... got it. Please read before you guys get all smart.
The apps you suggested do not work work, well they do, but do not show up with TF3D ON.
Perhaps there is some registry tweak that can allow to see like today+next 7 days appointments.

Hey buddy. There is no need to get rude. Everyone here is just trying to be helpful, geez. What is your problem.
By the way, the original question was not asking specifically for something that would work while TF3D is on specifically and since I do not have a Diamond, I would have no way of knowing what would work for you or not. I was only pointing to a possible sollution as I am sure everyone else was. Notice in my post I actually metioned working on HTC TOUCH ELF WM 6.0.
Anyway, Good Luck finding what you need.

Anybody knows the answer? Maybe only HTC staff knows. Second Today works but it is just a workaround by adding a today screen so as to avoid the TF3D screen. Like the 2USU thing (a workaround for locking the screen with incoming calls), it's not a clean solution. I don't know what other fellow diamondiers feel, but I want a clear cut solution direct from TF3D, not to switch to another screen/program/interface to get around (and I want to see everything from the TF3D screen even when it's locked and backlight is off and I don't need to unlock the screen and then press another button to see it). But yes, this has been a F-Q but still no A (as in FAQ) yet. It seems to be a real simple issue that most of us will come across and intuitively think it's easy to solve (by a registry tweak or so) but yet no solution comes up yet. It's a bit frustrating....

You seen the movie Tropic Thunder? You know Tom Cruises' part in that, when he talks to the Flaming Dragon guys for the first time through the phone? Well, that's what I'd love to do to you now.
Yes, maybe there is a tweek (sic) that can do that with "TF3D ON" (did you know that the word 'on' is officially written uncapitalised?), and yes, Second Today is a workaround (which by the way, works with TF3D "ON"); however, since topics requesting this functionality for TF3D started back in 1931 you would think that if such a tweek (sic) existed, somebody smarter than you would've found it by now. And seeing this forum now has 869015 members, that makes 869014 members smarter than you - and none of them has ever found this elusive 'tweek' since 1931.
So, yeah, maybe there is. Go find it!

thx sushilange, but i´ve already searched all threads ! i haven´t found a possibility to integrate a calendar with the touchflo3d home screen...
By the way, it would be nice to submit a link instead of beefing...
I would also like to know if theres a way to see at least 3-4 upcomming events in my calnder in the TF3D home screen. Would be super!
Any one for a cup of coffe or 5? Just bring the ap and ill buy you one!...or =)
Kind regards, Per, from Sweden! yeah!

I am also looking forward for this kind of application which show 7 days appointments.
Thanks for your efforts.

It seems to be spanish and the idea is to use SecondToday from http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_wm_tools_im_cs.htm.
How about making an app that changes the today screen when you rotate the device?
So when it's in portrait you have TF3d and when it's in landscape you can have Calendar+ or whatever other plugins you want?

Recalibrating touchscreen on restart

Everytime i restart my phone, it starts the calibrating of the thouchscreen. Anyone else got this problem? Maybe there is a cab to fix it (i remember there was a similar issue on custom Prophet-ROMs).
thats a bug sometimes happens while making a hardreset.
just do another hardreset or search for the corrosponing key in the registry. dont know how its named though
I just installed all aplications on my new phone (no hardreset), so i would be glad if somebody can tell me the specifig regestry key.
I had have this bug a few resets before - i disabled the autostart of the calibration-tool with sktools. Any other autostart-manager should work too.
Can somebody suggest a free autostart-manager? Did a few searchs and found nothing.
Nobody got an alternative to sktools?
Nice idea...

I got one from this forum, it's called 'startup manager'. Upload from my X1 doesn't work, try a new forum search. I know that's
out there ...
why dont u consider buying sktools? i think it is good

Input problems with ABC type input

Hello there,
after finally repairing my nikes screen, i upgraded to one of those new wm6.5 roms (the ones from NemanjaLO ). Everything works great, except one problem with typing on my 16-key nike: if i type a letter, and remove it before it gets unmarked, it will appear again as soon as i try to continue typing! other people confirmed this issue, however we seemed to be ignored / no one had a solution.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
BJK found an issue with this a while back when he was doing the EZInput 1.5 cabs. Can't remember how he sorted it but might be worth checking the thread in Development and Hacking.
I have the same problem also and I too find it very irritating.
Did you find anything on this?
