O2 Active UI Battery NFO Ext Rom 1.13.188

Hi wondering if someone can help.
In the latest rom update from O2 if you install the active UI it will give you a battery today plugin which is quite handy.
Now my question we all know the ActiveUI is horrible will slow down the exec and take up to much space. Is there anyway of stripping out this battery today plugin form the ActiveUI and creating a cab file so it will just install this part. I think the file that is needed from the ActiveUI is BatteryNFO.
Many Thanks
Scott

Wow 50 views and still no one got an answer????

Got to say I'd love this too. I've tried other battery monitors, and none are as good as that one.

Ok i have been looking in to this since i posted and have extracted the signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab file to my home machine. From What i can see there are 7 files that could be related to this 4 of which start with batter~1.029 and so on the other 3 start with power_~1.070. is there anyway of telling what these files are actually for.
Im no expert at this but surely it can be done as i have seen people have ripped the connection settings from this cab file before so surely the same sort of thing can be done with this.
Cheers
Scott

i agree...looks quite nice this battery plug-in...hope sum1 finds a way of getting it as a cab file soon

Still looking in to this and not going to let it beat me to.
Has anybody ever used this software before.

It looks like it is going to do what i need and be able to strip out the battery today plugin from the cab and even tell us what reg settings we need to enter to if i am reading it right but before i commit myself to the $10.95 has anyone ever used it before to clarify that it will do what i need it to do.

If you want something more professional use WCE CAB Manager.

Why not use Batti ?
It gives you just as much information, doesn't take up valuable Today space or slow down your machine, is visible in every application not just Today, and runs in just 20K. And it's free

Right
So far with the advice given to me by ibendlin about wince cab manager and after several hard resets (trial and error thank god for spbpocket backup lol) i have manged to get half way there. But i am having a problem getting the skins to work
As you can see i have manged to sort the today plugin but im having problems getting the skins working even after a soft reset.
Maybe someone can offer some advice i will gladly forward the cab that i have created so far if anyone can offer some suggestions.
Ineedtoys: So far i have manged to get this down to 14kb as for the space on the today screen user preference really, but thank you for your advice on batti.
Anyway off to bed will work on this some more tomorrow

OK, if you dont activate the ActiveUI thing in programs then you can have life without it. To get it to go away now that its on goto \windows\startup and delete the ActiveUI file in there. You cant seem to unistall the program. I just avoid the icon like the pluage.
There are more complex ways of getting what your looking for, but this one is simple and effective

ps. then soft reset

Hi James
Tis true what you are saying and this way will work but unfortunatly you will also get about 10mb worth of extra programs installed from the activeUI which take up the oh so precious Device storage space where the actual battery bar it's self only takes up around 14kb
But thanks anyway

yeah but the newer people to the scene might not like playing about with things. I've only just got use to playing about with stuff and up untill now I've been using this solution.
Now i've had the phone a wee while i'm happy to start going for corporate mode but was easier not to when i was just getting use to the whole PDA type stuff

I know what you mean we all had to start somewhere right lol.
I stopped using the the personal install about a month after i had my exec it was only through advice from these forums that i actually found out how much space the activeUI took up and also how much it slowed it down.

I use this one:
it shows 2 lines: one for main Battery status and one for Backup Battery status (no more exists in WM5); it works well

tried this one but I still think the one in the latest rom release from O2 looks sharper/prettier....

Yeah i'm planning on giving up the basic mode soon.
let me know how you get on, as I too like this battery meter.

I Have done it, Sort of. Still a few bugs but i don't think i will be able to sort these limited knowledge and already about 10 hard reset's.
I have been using now for around 8 or 9 hours now and all seems to be fine after the install no memory loss or anything.
Works well in True VGA to.

congrats m8..any chance of u posting the cab file here?

hiya scotjen,
dont mind you posting it out here??
thanks...
damn, I still have a Champions League game against Arsenal later.
got to get back to training soon

Well done.
What bugs are you still experiencing. Maybe someone could advise you further?

can anyone help, i changed some settings and i am using the trial version, now i need to undo one of the settings as it has made some sort of "block" over where my signal and clock are.
anyone know of a serial/keygen/ something that i can do to get rid of this block???
thanks in advance

Have you tried 'living in the past'? Put the date on your device back about a year and see if it works... No guarantees, sometimes it works (particularly with simpler protection schemes) and sometimes it doesn't.
Could you post a screengrab? I'm curious as to what you mean by 'a block'.

i sorted it , it was a problem with the program contacted author of program, he helped me fix it

cool, cool...
screenies?

After Removing Manilla 2D, QuickDial doesn't work -- HELP PLEASE!

Please don't kill me if this has been posted already, but I have searched and searched and searched.
I installed Manilla 2D and wasn't really feeling it, so I removed it. Well everything works fine except my quickdial pad on my touchflo cube. When I boot the phone I get an error message about the quickdial.exe program, and when I launch the cube, I can see the quickdial pad, but no names appear, and I can't activate it with touch.
Is there a registry tweak to fix this??? Or what can I do?? I REALLY don't want to do a hard reset, but if I do, will it go back to WM6 or will it stay WM6.1?
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Oh, I have the HTC Touch (Sprint), btw.

same thing happened to me ... i don't recall seeing an error about quickdial though... let me go to war with it and tell you what i find out.

well... tried everything i could think of... replaced Quickdial.exe with another version, tried two other cubes from different versions of the phone... looked through the reg... didn't fix it.

Backup your stuff and do a hard reset. it will go back to the last ROM you instaled.
If it still doesn't work, you nee to re-execute the ROM upgrade utility (RUU)

we'd rather not at this point

Ugh. Doing a hard reset for a simple dial pad makes my head hurt. I'm never installing another app on this phone that messes with the interface. I'll just stick with what it's got until the next phone.
If anyone thinks of another solution, PLEASE let me know. Hard reset is such a pain.

Main reason why i dont want to install Manilla 2D...

Mostly, do not instal BETA if you are not ready to do a hard reset... Or if you don't use an easy backup utility...
Especially when they mention it in the app's tread!
I don't understant why it seems so terrible for you guys to do a hard reset... I just did it with mine: It feels much lighter now!

The Manilla 2D replaces the default quick dial, so the files are altered. It's like trying to install the cube and HTC Home, at least in some instances. The two files conflict, so you'll need to hard reset.
Or, reinstall without the quick dial .cab, and use the customizer to remove the speed dial page.

Clock has changed from digital to analog

Hello all,
The clock on my HD2, which replaces the battery icon when using an application was originally digital, i dont know what i have done (if anything) which has turned it to analog.
It is very difficult due to the size to read this analog version, can anyone on here tell me a way to change this back to digital?

At one time if you hold down the clock up top on the today screen you could choose digital or analogue, maybe you still can and you changed it by accident. I have a task manager getting in my way to test it at the moment.

not working
Hi mate thanks fir the advice but its not letting me do anything like that.
I have tried looking at all the settings to do with time but still haven't been able to find anything, not sure how it could have happened in the first place.
I take it by the lack of interest no one else is having this problem.

U can change your clock back to digital from the following registry key:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\AnalogClock
Change the value from 1 to 0... That should solve your issue.

Hey thanks for that i will give it a try, don't really have any registry editors so will have to get one.
Any ideas on how or why this has happened?

Hey, just gave it a try and it works a charm, needs a reset after changing the code but apart from that thats it.
Thanks alot for the help.

Solved - Delete Post

i have almost completelly tweaked my phone, and just realized when trying to run windows voice recognition, that i deleted "buttons" under the start menu so i can't assign my hard key buttons... is it possible any of you have knowledge on how to send me the buttons that comes with win 6.5 preinstalled? i'd greatly APPRECIATE IT,, otherwise i'm afraid i'm stuck to having to reset the phone to factory.
also if that posssible i deleted another proggie i need it was under start menu and it was called voicemail something.. it supposedlly allows you to read you voicemails... i deleted this to due to thinking it was junk added on onto the phone (similiar to blockbuster, barnes and noble etc... that i thought i'd have no use for)
any help, tips would be greatly appreciated. Anything so i don't have to reset my phone and have to start over with all this tweaking.
Thanks For Your Time.

If the apps you want are cooked in ROM then someone would have to extract them first and thats a job and a half. Then you have to consider whether they would reinstall correctly so bite the bullet and do the honorable thing! Hard reset!

i knew it, i knew it, i knew it... ahhh another fun day planned for tomm. well its worth the blood And Sweat in the long run.
out of curisoisity which i suppose i should have researched before all this tweaking... whats the best image software for htc hd2.. is there one? anything like acronis for desktop? where it will literally do a full image backup once ive tweaked this to my hearts content?
Thanks for the Quick Reply.

It took me about 30 seconds to find these. I simply searched with the word "cabs".

Genius and thank you.. those 2 linsk are bookmarked i'm glad ive yet to start a hard rest. will let ya know how it turns out,
Thanks guys!!! this is a great find!!!
