What do all the different network icons mean - Networking

I have noticed that the phone signal for different phone companies in the UK give different icons for thier type of signals. Some show 3 some show G etc, is there a list as to what they all mean plus new ones coming along.

You could at least look inside your manual..

Today plugin for Battery/Storage & Shortcuts

I've always been a user of SPB Pocket Plus, but it's a but clums to change the icons for the meters, and colour of the text on the meters often clashed with the background.
Are there any alternatives that can display meters for battery and storage, as well as custom shortcuts, or shortcuts to things in the programs menu?
I've had a go with SBSH's iLauncher, and I didn't like it. Any others?
Thanks

I use O2 plus 2.3 it will work on any Hermes WM5 or WM6, it has a small memory footprint and even though the picture of my screen does not show it you can have all that you asked displayed. Cab file below.
^^ I second, it is a good and elegant app. However if you want to go for an even MORE minimalistic approach then I would suggest PBar. It is a great app as well. Tiny footprint and it can do everything you are asking for. Albeit the memory would be in number form rather than using up precious screen real estate as a bar.
Latest version is 1.3 however most people are using 1.2 still. Do a search and you will find it. I see no reason why to repost as it has been repost a number of times already.

That seems to be pretty good. Any way to change the "i" icon, either to a different on, or get rid of it?
Thanks

Here is a newer screenshot, the 'I' is there to tap on to set which meters you want to display.

Or you can go all out and go with Wisbar Advance 2 and Wisbar Advance Desktop
I can't remember which app shows a tiny battery line' meter above the title bar. I liked it and would like to have it again.
Maybe SPB which I have not re-installed after last upgrade?

Boz, in the screen shot it looks like you have been able to change the hot keys, is there a particular program you use to do this?

That's right, thanks! I had found it in between, and I really like it!
The default thickness is too high, and it's easy to change it from the settings (I put mine at 3, instead of 6)

Bliss theme for PocketCM

OK, I've put the theme back here, despite the second post as others were posting it here anyway.
I've used %radiophone as the second line in anattempt to get rid of the number all together. I prefer to keep the first screen simple because I always tend to press a contact, then select a number to call afterwards.
If you need to edit that field, follow the instructions on the PocketCM forum.
There is a thread dedicated to PocketCM - why not post there? Is it a new application developing or is it a hack?
Love to see what this theme looks like on my device, but having problems downloading the bliss theme from the site you mentioned. Do I have to be a member or sign in? Can you upload it here? Thanks in advance.
Didn't see a dedicated thread here for themes.
There are a couple of separate threads though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334837

so I started another one.
My mistake.
[edit] as others have now posted the theme here, I'm using the first post for the current version

Still having problems downloading it. I'll try again later.
I tried again, (opera browser), and it's not downloading the zip file. I'm pretty familiar with downloading/installing pocketcm themes and never encountered a problem such as this.
NICE!
Nice theme thanks downloaded and using now - been browsing that forum for a while and havent found anything - do you have any more?

Here you go.
A funny thing though, the only contact phone numbers posted beneath the contact's name when viewing the list of contacts are pager numbers, lol. I was tripping when I saw, out of 73 contacts, only 5 numbers were listed, lol. It seemed odd. Hopefully that'll be fixed soon. I'd prefer to see home, business, or mobile numbers. Just a thought.
thanks robo, the buttons are similar to my new icons i just made for the iphone theme, I like to stay away from color so that they are interchangeable between different backgrounds. this one looks good though, props

Waiting for yours, as I agree with you. It looks very clean for I prefer simple colors, or rather limited. The icons are the ****, lol (**** meaning really really good).
This is the best colored theme,good job. i was wondering if the side where the letters come down in alphabetical order could be black with the letters coming down in white to match the colored pattern going across. also was wondering if the alignment in the "contacts" view could be evenly arranged so that the tops of the contact name does not show after the last contact being viewed(like if you are looking at the contacts in "c" the very last contact name in "c" shows just the top letters) and when you select a contact and they have multiple options(sms,home#,work#) the tops of the last option is also slightly exposed atlest on my 700wx,but overall this is the best visual one i have seen.
Thanks all for your comments
robosiris With regard to the numbers being pager numbers, I actually wanted to have NO numbers at all. I explained in the pocketCM forum that I did this to simplfy the screen contents as I usually select a contact THEN choose a number to dial.
In the UK (certainly amongst my friends, we don't use pagers any more so I picked this field)
I've now changed it to %radiophone to show even FEWER numbers ;-).
However, if you want it to show a particular field, feel free to change the settings.ini file, as per the instructions on the PocketCM site.
mankoorb I understand about the top part of the characters showing, but as the app is totally "analogue" in terms of where the scroll stops, this will only happen if you use the index to select a new section. The next time you scroll with your fingers, it may misalign again. Also depends on whether you've got fullscreen mode on or off.
I don't think the index can have a background colour (might be wrong) so for now, that will stay as is (grey text, now very slightly darker than before).
Button height I've now changed, so only four complete buttons show when it's in full-screen mode.
Dave Hutch
ok dave understood. if the vertical index's color can not be altered, then maybe the horizontal index(once you have selected a look up letter) can be stretched all the way across the screen so it does not look cut off, and maybe the index letters can be tried in white to add to the brightness of the theme. with most themes being dark and using only 2 colors i enjoy this theme for its color and animated feel. good job!
The letter index (white on black)
cannot be stretched across the screen as it would overlap the #A at the top of the index (if I understand you correctly).
There are obviously restrictions to the app. layout as well as a vast amount of customization opportunities.
For other adjustments,you can easily do these to suit youor own taste by changing values in the settings.ini file that is contained in the bliss.cmt file.
It's basically a zip file renamed to .cmt.
Open it with Winzip and change the line that reads index_font_color=40,40,40
to index_font_color=255,255,255 to get white
For other custom changes, see the PocketCM site for instructions.

systemcolor changer

Hi all,
I found a Software called systemcolor.net (see here: http://www.pocketpc-software-downlo...-kai-s-systemcolor-net-download-hbuqwcxq.html).
It is an interesting tool to change the color of the system (top and bottom bar) depending on certain events (new sms...).
I tried the demo but it wasn't working on my touch (could not set the flags to activate it). Another thing - it is commercial...
Does anybody have a similar app for this purpose?
Thanks!
MM
RC Mod works well for changing the top and bottom bar colors, but it doesn't do it based on events. I've yet to hear of a program that did that...

hm...base hue express does not change colours on events! I think this would be a really nice function because there is no need for a icon change or anything else...
There is a great piece of software posted on these forums called Settings+ or Settings++ something like that. It does what you want with a very small memory footprint. Works great in my opinion.

Cool tool, but also not event triggered

Quick question..

and it might be a silly one...but...i really like the sony ericsson panel 2 and was thinking the only thing that would make it perfect is for there to be a PINK background colour. Is it possible? Thanks.
If you have a search you will find which files you can replace to change the background pics in the SE Panels.
what can i type to bring up relevant searches cause ive tried a few but get nothing?

Change banner text

Hi, I've searched but I could possibly be using the wrong search terms.
Looking to change the text that displays in the banner where it would say AT&T 3G? I've seen it done just now can't find it.
Any help appreciated, thanks.

Check out the screenshot below...see the custom title in the top left under the start menu, is that what you're talking about? If so, the attached cab is what you'll need to put your own custom title there...just install and run it, it's nothing but a simple text box where you can enter whatever you're heart desires

Yes, it's been used successfully on many different devices on many different carriers.
Thanks, that worked for the carrier name on the s2u2 lockscreen, but I guess Energy is doing something on the Today banner to override both the Personalizer and the Carrier.

Check out my post 2 above yours there... the look you're seeing is mostly due to a theme called "Dark Revised" by s2w, and it's available on that page I linked to along with several others he's done. The taskbar icons at the top are from Spike's popular MicNeo set, varient_V2 to be exact, I've attached the cab for that below.
If you are using the Energy Rom....

That is a feature you can edit on the energy Rom. If you are using the one with cookie home tabs, all you have to do is go to the cookie home tab editor and go to advanced, at the very bottom is a choice to change the text that appears in that area. Just click on that box, and it will open the editor to change that text.
Hope that helps.
Perfect, thanks!
