Hello everybody!
This is the first thread I open myself, and i'm kind of excited!
Okay, as you can see on the attached image,
on my today-screen, there is some kind of bar that indicates some kind of statuses.
How can I remove this?
It's my TyTN with the original HTC WM6 (due to the lack of a german 6.1..).
Any ideas?
// Sorry for the *.gif's quality, but I'm not used to match the filesize!
I believe you must remove the icons one by one and then the bar will disappear when they are all gone.
From the left:
1) Looks like MyMobiler. Tap that icon and there should be a way to turn off that icon
2) The Activesync connected icon. Go into Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check use advanced functionality and it should go away.
3 and 4) Battery and CommManager icons. Use Schap's advanced config to get rid of those.
this is called "Tray" search for remove Tray or something.
here is an app that will hide those Icons, a simple search of xda took me here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248968
If this one won't work for you, there are more to choose from, just search "Hide Tray" or "Remove Tray"
Okay,
thanks!
Battery and CommManager have gone away!
But as I'm using WinXP, the advanced netwok features do not work for me!
Try searching now..
I'm sorry, but i thought the upper bar was called the tray; so i didn't try searching for tray.!

Hi,
I've looked, clicked and sworn at it, but I just don't know how to get rid of the small bar at the very bottom of the today screen, just above the softkey indicators. At the moment it just has the (standard t-mobile) mini battery icon and the mini connection icon.
I've got no idea where the controller for this part of the today screen is. I'd really love to get rid of it altogether and have a few extra pixels for pocketplus. It just seems to be totally wasted screen real estate for me. I see other people have got useful stuff in this area, if there's a personalisation programme out there for it, please hit me up.
Cheers,
Chris
If you just want to remove those icons - which removes the tray as well - see this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=40133
If you want to remove it altogether, try:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=27331
And if you want to customize the tray with icons to specific apps, try "PHM TrayLaunch" - it's part of the PHM PowerToys - can probably be ripped out somehow and made stand-alone.
Sorry guys, ToggleToday is still WM2003 only right now. I'll update as soon as I get a few minutes. It's complicated to write, since the tray gets refreshed on screen rotations etc. And I'm just too busy to deal with it properly right now Soon...

Hey, thanks very much guys
PHM TrayLaunch looks like a very useful app, but I'm struggling to successfully add programs/icons. For example, if I want to have ActiveSync as one of the icons in the tray, does anyone know what should be entered as the "target"?
I'm afraid I don't have my phone in front of me, but trying navigating through your \windows\start menu and checking the properties for existing shortcuts.
Eg Find activesync, display properties, and it will display the target for the shortcut. That's your baby.

Unfortunately I can't find a way to display properties for a shortcut - Explorer's "tap & hold" menu only allows you to cut/copy/paste etc - there's no "properties" window like there is on normal PC-Windows.
Fork, try gsfinder or another explorer replacement.
Also try having a read through this:

Thanks Vijay, I've downloaded Resco Explorer 2005 but cannot find the ActiveSync shortcut anywhere on my device! Does anyone know what the shortcut is to start ActiveSync?
It's not obvious!
\windows\replog.exe
V
Thanks for the reply Vijay, but replog.exe doesn't exist anywhere on my device.
Sorry, missed one letter
"\windows\repllog.exe" on my Universal.
V
Thanks Vijay, bizarely repllog.exe doesn't show up in my Windows folder using Resco Explorer, but setting this as the path gives me an ActiveSync icon in the tray - so it's obviously finding it.
Unfortunately, clicking the icon doesn't launch ActiveSync. It briefly displays "Connect to" in the top title bar before disappearing, and the Today page remains onscreen all the time.
Any other suggestions you can think of?
Thanks,
Fork, it depends on what state the activesync app is in at the time. It doesn't always like to show itself in my experience as well. Not entirely sure why. Sometimes when you're disconnected it will show, sometimes when you're connected it'll show?
In resco, ensure you're displaying hidden files, system files and rom files.
V
Thanks Vijay, I hadn't spotted that option in Resco Explorer - it shows up now.
Howsitgoin all
I have removed the battery, and the screen rotation tool, but cannot find the reg hack to remove this, any suggestions?
Search the key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset and voila !!!
Sorry for my bad english ...
Be aware that all you do is hide the icon. The service itself keeps running.
RE
Hey bro,
How do you hide the battery and the screen rotation tool?
Which entries in the registry do I need to alter?

but WirelessMgr not working any more
Hi,
pefect to remove all icons and to remove the taskbar.
But If I disable the WirelessMgr and open the WirelessMgr by another icon, which I postet on the today screen, all 4 buttons are grey and I can't start and stop bluetooth / Wireless / Mobile.
How Did you solve this?
I will remove the icon and get more space on today page but I don't want to tun him off.

Although they are greyed out, you can still enable/disable them by using the Settings menu. You will not get a GUI confirmation that they are on/off though, have to depend on the LED's.
it caused me a problem on the original rom, but on the latest rom it works fine for me to activate using an icon, or as I prefer Fn right arrow
GUI ?
Any idea/ workaround on how to get the GUI confirmation that they are on/off ?
Is there any way to hide the annoying ActiveSync icon from the today screen? That little useless sticky icon that lies at the bottom right corner.
Thanks.

I'm second to join for any ideas how to get rid of this [email protected]$!%!$ icon!
Try to remove IconTray (or something similar) from the startup folder. Should do the job. It also removes other icons.
If you do like the icons on the bottom of the screen then try PHM Traylaunch
Nope, it's not working. The tray bar is removed for sure but with avery connection to PC the annoying AS icon shows up... I believe it is present on WM6 ROMs only...

That`s the icon for the Caller ID plugin for the IAB
Start Address Book
Menu / Tools / Options / Phone and Dial - uncheck "Show tray icon" (works if you have caller ID enabled)
...or you may disable caller ID
At the bottom of the Today screen, you got your SOFT button functions written, and some icons for applications like Comm Manager & Battery.
Personally, I don't care for that section of the today screen.
I wish to use that space taken on my screen to have more TODAY plugins.
Is there such a mod/hack/registry tweak/whatever to do so?
you can remove the battery and comm manager icon by editing the registry like so:
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
As for the soft key buttons, I do not believe there is a way to remove that bottom bar.
there is a possibility to remove the soft keys from the today screen:
use VJToggleToday2alpha
i dont think that'll work on wm6
Use Wisbar Advance 3 to remove that.
VJToggle works on WM6.
VJToggleToday2alpha works very well on WM6

I've seen the registry tweaks for comm mgr and battery.. but have not seen anything for the icon I get when I put the phone ni vibrate mode, and the other various app-specific icons (ie. I think Pocket Informant stuck an icon there). Seems more like there needs to be a setting to say "tray icons are disabled" vs. disabling each specific tray icon...

Hi (I'm new here!)
I'm trying to set up my Touch 2 so that it looks and feels exactly how I want it, and I'm nearly there. The only issue I have is the bottom bar. On the home screen it current has "Phone" and "Contacts" as its default, and I'd love to either change it or (preferably) remove the bottom bar completely. I trawled through the user guide from htc.com and I've tried using the Search here to no avail so I just thought I'd ask. Any clues?
Thanks in anticipation....
(by the way, how do I take a screenshot of my phone to post on here?)
Hello,
I think you mean the softkeys...well, as far as i know there is no option to remove them but you can change them with this tool:
h__p://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
advanced config > menu > key mapping

To make a screen shot you can use this program...but there are many more.......when you search
