No more than 13 items on Today screen...

Hi. I found out that when you install a new application with a Today item if you already have 13 of them the last one install sort of bumps one out. The first one to go in my case is the Tasks. Mind you I do not have all 13 active. Most are unchecked in my Settings / Today control panel. Seems like there is a limitation to how many of them can be installed at any given time.
This brings up the question. How can I remove things like MMS Composer today item or those others installed by various applications without uninstalling the application itself. Is there a registry location where the info is kept? Presumably I can just remove the reference and bring my count under 13. Am I off base here?
Thanks

no, you're spot on!
Use a registry editor, such as resco and remove the entry under hkey_local_machine\software\Microsoft\today\items

I m actually looking to add MMS back on today Screen
not sure how anyone can help
in the register is only show
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\MMS Composer]
"Enabled"=dword:00000000
even Enable it (turn it to 1)
it is not showing

Presumably you have tried going to Start/Settings/Today/Items to see if MMS is available to tick? (sorry if thats too obvious!)
Otherwise you may have fallen foul of the 13 Item limit, and may need to delete another of the Today Items in the registry to allow MMS to show.
One tip, is to export the Registry entry to "Storage" before deleting it- this will ensure you can get it back if you find you need it in the future- double tapping an exported registry entry will reimport it.

How to get rid of: stk_uippc.exe (Fun & Info)

When I open Programs I always have an shortcut named: "Fun & Info".
I know it's a shortcut to the file: stk_uippc.exe
Is there any way to get rid of this icon? I don't mind that the file keeps existing in the Windows directory.
I tried delete the shortcut but it keeps coming back after a soft reset.

Think I've found it myself, but I wanted to share it with my fellow forum members
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\STK_Service]
"Keep"=dword:00000001
Changed to:
"Keep"=dword:00000000
That's all!

Thanks for the info, but after changing it in the registry my phone starts up very slow than before. It takes about 2,5 times longer, about 4 minutes. (After I shut it down and switch it on again, or when using a soft reset)
If I change it back again in the registry to "1" (Decimal) my phone starts up at normal speed..... (about 1,5 minutes)
Is this normal, or am I doing something wrong?

On WM6 I've noticed that it doesn't change no matter what value I set in the regsitry.
I've tested it and it works perfect for me:
Just delete the complete "STK_Service" key. After this I soft reset my phone. Make sure you have removed the STK Shortcut of course
If you want to restore the key I suggest you export the key before deleting it!

Thanks for the fast reply. Just tried and it works.
Btw, do you know how to get Fring working with Orange world / proxy?
I can't get past the initial registration due to the message: internet connection is not available.
I can use IE and browse the internet with no problems.
Sorry if it's not the right topic to post the question.

Indeed a bit off topic.. ..try searching the forum
TIP:
www.google.com
SEARCH TERM site:http://forum.xda-developers.com
Works much better than the build in search.

noob help with Titanium Panel

I'm new to Titanium Panels and can't seem to find the "10,000 foot view" of how these work. I hope to do that here...
I'm now in "build the tutorial mode" so this post will change as I have time to fill it in.
As I see it, Titanium Panels fall into three categories:
Completely Static - A fancy button to launch an application.
Update on Demand - Static until you tap it and then it updates.
Automatically Updated - This model has a "free-running" background process that updates the panel contents on a regular basis.
The general model is something like this...
Create an app/script/etc. that puts data into the registry (when/if necessary.)
These values should be listed in subkeys in the registry under:
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\CondensedPage
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Page1
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Page2
etc.
to form what data will actually appear on each page.
There are special values in the registry that specify the Datasource, Tap actions, etc.
Create a resolution specific layout in the Titanium.cpr file.
When necessary, update the registry values and toggle a special registry entry:
Software\Microsoft\CHome\PanelName\Updated
to 0 and then back to 1. (Some languages (like c#) require that you flush() your changes in order for this to work.)
Also see the post later in this thread "Updating Panel".
Then Titanium renders the data items on the current page for this panel (CondensedPage and/or some Page1 ... PageN) using the layout items in the .cpr file.

I have the same problem - I don't know how to refresh a single page. Refreshing the entire HS by its GUID works, but the same trick won't work on a single page. Refreshing it by the panel GUID also don't work...

Updating Panel
Simply toggle the "Updated" registry key to 0 and then back to 1.
Sample c#:
Code:
rk = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@"Software\Microsoft\CHome\" + PanelName, true);
rk.SetValue("Updated", 0);
rk.Flush();
// update all of the data for this panel...
rk.SetValue("Updated", 1);
rk.Flush();
In any language the idea is the same. Originally I was having trouble when I was simply setting Update to 1 without toggling it.
Hope that solves it for you.
BTW - I have no idea how to refresh a single page of a single panel or if that's even possible.

So I wrote a simple updater:
Code:
RegistryKey klucz = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey("Software\\Microsoft\\CHome\\SlidingAlbums", true);
klucz.SetValue("Updated", args[0], RegistryValueKind.DWord);
klucz.Flush();
I'm running it by Pocket Controller-Pro from the command line, and no respond.

So... I guess that you are calling it with a "0". Then changing some registry value. Then calling it again with a "1". And the data on the screen isn't changing?
This update only changes the data displayed, it does not cause a "reload" of the .cpr file.
How are you changing the registry values that relate to the data used by the panel? What is the "whole" picture here?
Also note that the panel name is case sensitive.

Yes, I've also tried to change it from .NET project but the effect is the same.

I know, I wanna refresh the data from registry.

I'm changing TEXT1, TEXT2, TITLETEXT.

I know that
But there's one thing - I'm doing it on WM6.1 Standard. Maybe this is the main problem, but I think that CHome is working the same as it is on 6.5 Professional.

Silent edit of single registry entry on startup

Experts,
I've got a Tilt 2 Rhodium with the stock AT&T ROM. I've removed nearly all the accessible bloat, and have done my share of registry edits to make it usuable now. There is just one sticky problem that seems beyond my limited abilities and I seek your help.
The built-in YouTube app's registry key calls for a proxy to be used: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\YouTube - ProxyName=wap.cingular.com:80 (or something close to that value). For whatever reason, my YouTube app times out on connect when that default value is in place. When I replace the value with [BLANK] or delete the REG_SZ all together, YouTube functions perfectly.
The problem is that changing this registry key does not survive a restart or a reset - I believe it even restores itself intermittently. I made a CAB file that I can run but it just seems ham-fisted to me to have to run it manually, choose the target, click ok, etc., and frequently. Is there a way for this lone registry value to be blanked or deleted automatically on restart or YouTube launch? Or better yet, to prevent it from being repopulated with the default value automatically?
Any help will be tremendously appreciated.

You could try Dotfred's famous task manager. It supports many different command line parameters, and one happens to be registry modification.
Code:
[filepath] /silent
Theoretically, you can create a shortcut to the task manager, which uses the parameter to point to the .reg file containing the registry setting you'd like. If you don't know the format of a .reg file, I suggest you export any key in your registry with any reg editor, then open the .reg with a text editor to learn the format. Then, you could place the shortcut in your \Windows\Startup folder, which points to the registry folder, and it would (in theory) change the registry key on startup. Also (in theory), you could use RunEveryDay to create a scheduled task (using your command line parameters pointing to the reg file) to periodically change this value to [blank] on a schedule.
You could also do all of this with a provXML, but .reg is just as easy, and IMO requires less work in formatting it. Hope that helps

Mortscript
I use mortscript to write a reg value every reset.
if you need help send me PM

Thank you both for the assistance and thoughtful responses. I will look into them.
Meanwhile I've searched the phone's registry for the string "wireless.cingular.com:80" which is the actual value of the "ProxyName" registry entry at HKLM\Software\HTC\YouTube. It comes up in three other places.
I'm not an expert, but I'm comfortable with deep tinkering and have yet to break something I couldn't fix. So, thinking that one of these three other places is from where the refresh is coming, I plan to delete those values also and see if that prevents the repopulation of the ProxyName value with the default string.
If it doesn't work, then I can always revert the three other values to the default and use a script program instead.
The value appears to be repopulated upon any change in the network environment, be it activating/disabling WiFi or "data conection," and also apparently when I connect with ActiveSync - not 100% sure about that though.
Thanks again, both of you.

Problem: the screen doesn't lights up when i receive a text message! Pls help!

when i receive a message its just play the sound... i have made some setting but i think its somewhere in regirsty... could any one help?

Set the DisableSMSWakeUpEvent to 0. You can find it in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL .
With registry Editor:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL]
"DisableSMSWakeUpEvent"=dword:00000000

thanx, now its working.

I cannot change the value, it says Access is Denied. I am using Mobile Registry Editor.

Hmmm, strange....try with this editor....if not works we can try via desktop.....

Frank, the file is not complete. I don't see an executable. I have previously used Mobile Registry Editor to change my SMS thread to the classic style and other small settings. I don't understand why it doesn't want to accept changes.

I tried changing some values of other strings to see if the problem was with the registry editor but then I could change some, like this one:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSNoSentMsg
but I can't change the value of, DisableSMSWakeUpEvent.

Sorry about my dumbness. Frank, I did not realize I had to install the cab file in my mobile. I changed the value successfully.
Thanks a lot for the help.
