Date and time on top bar - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi,
I've enabled the date and time for the top bar using sktools, but the problem is the date is cut off, because it's font size is too big to fit in. I've search but no luck. I was wondering if there is a hack or registry setting that can solve this. my unit is an 02 xda atom. i've decided to post it here, in a more general forum, because other hacks/tweaks or registry setting might also work for my device. thanks.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\NLS\OVERRIDES]
"SSDte"="M/dd/yy "
Notice the spaces after the yy

greate! it works!!! many thanks colonel00

sorry for missing this
i would like to apologize for missing this in the first place. i just realized that I had this already but missed it when i moved from an atom to zinc. well, it didn't matter in atom before. sorry, for flooding the thread/forum with such simple query. this is not a totally useless thread, eventhough it is already contained in previous thread. it is specific in a way. others/newbies, like new users could easily find these kinds of infos faster, when done with simple search.
thanks again to colonel00 and other forumers for being patient that didn't bash me off right away, for my ignorance...

RegEdit: Hide 'rotate screen' icon

Hello!
Could somebody please tell me how to hide the sreenrotation icon using regedit? Are there any websites listing regestry hacks?
Cheers,
helterSkelter
It sure would be great if questions were followed by a question mark...
As it is, a lot of postings seems like people offering solutions judging from the subject line, when they are in fact asking for help. It's confusing as well as time wasting, since it attracts the wrong readers to the threads...
Remove your rotate screen
-Use a registry editor and open:
-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINCE\Services\ScreenRotate
-Change ShowIcon from 1 to 0.
-Soft-reset
-Enjoy

Thanks a lot for the help danr and ampda!
HBK: your post was a bit out of place, cos if 'the wrong readers' were 'looking for a solution' they would of found it here anyway. Questionmark or not. :wink:
No, it wasn't out of place, and it has been mentioned a gazillion times before, as all regulars know.
Some people have more time than others. Quite a few of us have to skip the threads, where the subject line doesn't have an immediate appeal. That's actually why we have the subject lines in the first place. That's just a fact of life, and it goes for all message boards, not just this one.
This thread has right now had 141 reads and 2 replies to your question. What does that tell you?

Have you read the thread titled: 'Please read this before posting'? Amongst other things, it contains this text...
2. Use a clear subject
So you're going to post a message, and need to think of a subject. Try to keep in mind that many people actually use that subject to determine whether they will even look at your message.

Registry values FAQ

Is there somewhere a FAQ with descrition of some important registry tweaks for Wizard? It would be great to have such a listing, and it would also lower the number of repeated questions here in forum.
Something, like
Enable "E" icon for EDGE
/HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/EnableDifferEdgeIcon
Font color in Phone /HKLM/Security/Phone/Skin/DIALER/portrait/text/textcolor
etc. etc.?
If this does not exists, it would good if everyone, who knows some usefull tweak will post it here, what you think?
Take a look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
well, i saw this thread, but let me quote a part of one answer in this thread:
but gets out of date every time someone finds a new tweak. But then we end up with 10,000 "how to tweak my Pink German QWERTZ Edge Chinese Language ROM Charmer???!" threads, with needless repetition and the chance that tweaks relevant to others are missed.

so, sure such a program would be nice, but i think, that something like listing of all the registry hacks can solve many many problems

Diamond theme
Hi,
first of all: great work!!
i've got an HTC Touch Cruise with the SPB MS2.1 and your diamond theme layout F with the colored menu buttons.
Now screen:
- the cellphone provider's name doen't come centered in the middle of the top line and writes over network cover symbole and battery indicator.patch please.
-with layout F, profile icon moves from top bar to bottom right just above screen icons but internet connetion icon in top bar is not available (very usefull)
-new profile icon is difficult to hit.touch area too small.
-is it possible to have the upcoming appointments from the agenda on the now screen? it would be cool to have all the general information in just one click and one view.
Other screen:
-the forum explaination how to add the 9' menu button is hard to understand for me as i am not an expert at all.please make a patch or plugin to download.
-very important:customizing the menus,it does not allow to add the adjustment blacklight icon to the menu (does not come on the list?)?? In the SPB MS2.1,this came on the second page top left, very practical!
Thank you very much for trying to make live a lot easier!!!
Not sure
Hey man, sorry but I dont know much about spb. But I am downloading what your using as we speak, and going to see wat I can do. I'm pretty sure someone else will beat me to the answer though, but if not, Ill try. And thanks for using this thread. It makes searching alot easier. I wish everyone was as enthusiastic about stopping unnessicary threads. Most complain about it, but wont help when somehting like this is created. But I will keep check on this, and will PM you personally as soon as an asnwer is posted. Thanks.

Changing wallpaper problem
Hello,
I've got an Artemis (P3300) and whenever i try and change the wallpaper nothing happens.
I view the picture and click "Set as today wallpaper" and choose 0%, then click ok. After this nothing happens - the wait symbol is supposed to come up while the wallpaper is changing but this doesn't happen. Then, when i check the today screen its the same as before.
I've also tried changing the wallpaper from the today settings menu, and this works but the opacity is 65%. Is there any way to change the opacity setting (to 0%) using this method?
BTW, this problem occurs with all roms i flash.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Alphabetizing Icons

I've been searching for days now, and can't seem to figure out why the icons are all mixed up...
Is there anyway to alphabetize the icons in the start menu?
I have a bunch of games loaded in a games folder and it's all mixed up, any ideas?
I tried searching the site and even googled it and all I came up with was a registry edit, but I don't have the key they say to edit.
I even tried deleting the folder and putting the icons back one at a time, in alphabetical order, but they still end up mixxed. ??

You seem to be new to the forums. Thank you for joining XDA-Developers.
Please take a minute to go over the Rules and Regulations of the forum.
Also, it seems that you are a Blue Angel owner, in which case I will encourage you to go over the BA forum regulations here
For questions, please use the search function in the site or simply Google for an answer. More than likely, your question has probably been answered before and the answer is floating around somewhere in the site. That being said, unless you are contributing to the site with either skins, roms, ports, new applications, programs, games, etc., please [highlight]do not[/highlight] open new threads. However, if you do have questions, you can post them either in the BA Q&A section or in the General Q&A section.
Thanks.
I did search the forum, and I googled it... I'm new to this forum, but not computers or the internet, I know how to search, been doing it since 1988.
I posted this question in the Q&A thread, but it was ignored, so I posted in the general forum.
Sorry If I offended you, but I never received a response to my question, I figured somebody else here was experiencing the same problem, maybe not.

It isn't a matter of me being offended, I am (as well as others) trying to keep some order in the forums. I do know that sometimes questions in the Q&A don't get answered right away, but if someone from the Q&A team (or other members out there) know the answer, they will reply. Maybe the reason why your question wasn't answered is because no one really knows the answer (or has bothered looking into it). You getting annoyed at the way the forums are handled does not give you the right to say "screw it, I'm opening a thread(s) anyways". On top of that, remember that not a single member in this site is forced to give you an answer. We all do it out of trying to help each other out since we are a community.
All of us have to abide by the site's rules.
Last but not least, this is a General Question (like you stated earlier) and not a device specific question. All I am saying in my previous post is "please follow the rules". If you searched earlier and posted the right questions in the right places, then either be patient or pm someone. Most of us are happy to help.
Anyways, now to your question. The way in which WM is designed, the application icons normally get a "first come, first serve" position. In other words, they are placed in chronological order of installation (at least in "Program Files"). I do not know if there is a way to organize the WM menus so that they will show apps in alphabetical order.
What you can do is look for a launcher or a replacement for the Program Folders (look in the Dev and Hacking sections for these). These normally organize the icons alphabetically and they are shown in a list format rather than a grid. I do agree with you though, it is pretty disorganized.... but then again M$ doesn't really care about the alphabet
Hope this helps...

I recently had this issue with the new AT&T Fuze ROM. Check around in your PROVXML files for anything similar to the code below. Note: This example code is from an AT&T ROM, but you may find something similar. If you do, delete it, and everything will return to standard Alphabetical order.
Code:
<!--334.08_Program menu order-->
<characteristic type="Registry">
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Shell\StartMenu">
<parm name="order" datatype="multiplestring" value="MEdia Net Home.lnkAT&T MallAT&T MusicGames & AppsMessagingAT&T GPSAlbum.lnkActiveSync.lnkToolsCellular Video.lnkWindows Media.lnkPush to Talk.lnkOpera Browser.lnkInternet Sharing.lnk" />

I figured that was the case, so I deleted all the icons in the folder, then copied them back from my PC, in alphabetical order, and they still ended up scrambled, M$ blows.
egzthunder1, you are f*cking idiot :/ i hate people like you :/ look. how loong it takes you to write that kind of sh*t? If you don't know the answer, don't write anything. If you want to make some new posts, there is off-topic thread. Everyone, at the beggining, is a begginer! It's not his guilt, so help him if u can, but don't do that sh*t :/ what a stupid country :/ & what a f*cking pommy :/ i'm proud i'm from PL
In WM6.5, you have option "move to the top" in start menu, if u tap and hold on icon, so u can sort all your icons, one by one.
Also you can use other launchers, which are more configure able.
btw sorry for bad english
MOD EDIT: The profanity is not needed. First warning... next step is a 3 day vacation.
I fugured it out...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\Games
That's the folder I put all the games in, and inside that registry key was a bunch of .lnk entries corresponding to the games I had installed, each key had a rank, so I took the largest number of the key, and put that on the first icon, then in alphabetical order I changed the rank of each of the .lnk keys, decreasing by one as I went down the list, soft boot, now the folder is exactly how I wanted it.
Thanks

Let's watch the personal attacks. Regardless of how you feel about egzthunder1 reply, there is no place for your post either. It serves no purpose other then to incite a fight.
While egzthunder1 could have said what he did in a couple different ways, he is not wrong in pointing members (new OR old) to the rules of XDA-Developers. He did not berate the OP in any way; he simply informed him of the policies in place here that require a member (again, new OR old) to search prior to posting in an existing thread, or creating a new one.
Q&A sections are popping up in just about every forum because of an experiment done in the Raphael section that was a complete success. In case you may have missed it, the forum rules have recently been updated. I quote:
Flar said:
1. Search before posting
Use one of our search functions before posting, whether you have a question or something new to share, it's very likely someone already asked that question or shared that news.
2. Be polite and respect your fellow xda-dev user.
There is no need for cursing, flaming, racism or personal attacks. There are a lot of different nationalities on this forum all with different cultures, this means that no matter what you're like, you'll have to adjust to people that are most definitely not like you. It will gain you a lot of respect if you help to keep the peace. It's disrespectful and therefore not permitted to create Alias Member names in an attempt to deceive others.

So let's keep it clean going forward. If you have an issue with a member, take it to PM, or contact any of the moderators.
Thank you,

NotATreoFan, i don't think that it's wrong, what he wrote, but it's matter of moderators and admins to worry about such things. thats all from me ;]

@weteran,
While I don't necessarily appreciate the insults, particularly considering that I have not offended you (or even talked to you), I will say that if I have spoken badly in any manner, then point me at it and I will gladly apologize to the OP for my mistake. However, if I didn't, then why do you insult me?
I am not going to start a discussion with you (or a flame war). While it is true that I don't always know all the answers, at least I try to help or point people in the right direction to solve their problems. I do this because I love this community and its members and I have been helped countless times, so really it is my way of giving back.
@NATF,
Since the OP seems to have solved his issue, do you think that you could close this thread to keep it from growing needlessly? Thanks for your words
Issue resolved, closing thread.

[SOLVED] WM 6.5.x operator text bar

I'm sure the answer to this will be available somewhere but after a lot of searching I'm getting nowhere. So please dont post any "UTFS" replies! if you don't want to help then don't reply.
I am creating a ROM and have got it running as I want using wm6.5.x build 23140 and sense 2018. Now I am beginning work on customising the look of it. I want a very minimal look on the home screen and so far have removed most things, but how do I remove the top grey bar where the operator text would be?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT.
[SORTED] please ignore this post. Its amazing what a few hours away from the keyboard can do.
