How can I add or delete an icon on the taskbar?
I wanted to remove the icon for manual screen rotation and I want to add some other stuff.
To remove the rotate screen icon goto the registry,
HKey_Local_Mchine\Services\ScreenRotate
change the ShowIcon Value to 0, reboot and it wont be there.
Thanks carnivor. I tried this suggestion from the WiKi, but this did not work for me:
To hide the screen rotation icon:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ROTATION\HideOrientationUI = 1
I'll try your suggestion. How about adding an icon on the taskbar?
cktlcmd: you want to check out PHM Tray Launch to add icons to the tray. There are other commercial solutions as well. And someone else, I forget who, made one called VJTrayLaunch, but it's not very good or recommended over the other offerings.
PHM's website may be down, but I've attached a zip somewhere in a Wizard thread on pop up keyboards. Prize if you can find it.

Thanks Vijay555. I did found PHM Power Toys which included PHM Tray Launch. I just don't know how to install only the PHM tray launch though. I don't want the other clutter. Here is a link: http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/phmpocketpcpowertoys.shtml
Another question please. How do you use PHM Tray launch?
SBSH's iLauncher puts icons in the tray. Definitely the easiest to use (I found the PHM software a bit fiddly and the icons didn't render well) but you do have to pay for it...

Does iLauncher causes any slow downs on the Universal? Can I install it on my SD card or does it have to stay on internal memory?

I have located the battericon and screen rotation icone removal, anybody know where the wireless connection removal setting is in the registry.
RE
Hi cktlcmd,
To use PHM TrayLaunch
1) Install PowerToys and copy traylnch.exe out.
2) Remove PowerToys if don't require
3) Put back traylnch.exe and run it
One catch. After each soft reset you'll have to re-activate traylaunch. Any attempt to put in StartUp results in icons not displaying its original self ie. 'Notes-like' icons will be displayed instead.
wiki now updated with all three regedits to do remove the taskbar from the today screen. by removing the icons, the bar is gone by default.

Hi, does anyone know how to remove the divider line just above the Comm. Manager and Battery icon in the Today screen. It wasn’t there before but just recently it has appeared. It does not disappear no matter what theme I use. I have also tried using a theme editor but that doesnt give me the option i require. So I was wondering is there some sort of registry edit I can use or something?
This is a FAQ, there's a registry hack on the wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry
Please read the wiki and search before posting.
sorry am I missing something? I can't find anything in that link that relates to the divider line. I do not want to remove the icons, just the line that's just above the icons as you can see in the pic.
if you say there is a registry hack for this can you post it please. thanks
I understood you wanted to remove all the tray not only the line, don't know of any registry hack for that, sorry.
im looking for a way to edit the default htc home plugin. mostly im interest in editing the messaging area. is this all in the HTCHome.dll or is there an xml that can be edited?
i want to edit the plugin so i can add the totals, see screenshot for example..
i know i can read the registry to get the totals:
HKCU\System\State\Messages\TotalEmail\Unread\Count
HKCU\System\State\Messages\sms\Unread\Count
HKCU\System\State\Phone\Missed Call Count
but from what i gather, it's all hardcoded into the dll? i figured the space is there for total count, why not try to display it?
Is it possible at all to do this?
Would be really nice
you have to change it in the registry.
some one on here will be able to tell you what bits to change.
i cant as mine is set to something else and you have to
set the right path and mine will be differant to what you want.

I can do better than that. I can point you to the cab I made of the relevant changes so all you need to do is install this one file!
Great job, but do tell if the video call button would come back or not if I uninstall the Cab file.
If not how can we bring it back if and when I want to
This freeware program is a great alternative. Includes a reset to default command.

i got a kinda similiar problem..except i wanna change my left soft key which now says TODAY SCREEN to watever da the default was..i think it was PHONE on my tf3d home screen..the reason it says TODAY SCREEN was after i uninstalled the phone alarm cab i was left wit dat..now i cant figure out how to change it back..i tried da fantasticbytes softkey manager didnt change anything..so if anyone can help or point me to right link link..really appreciate it..thanx
Can someone give me the registry path, so I can choose witch programma I like to map?
I have the new 2.03 ROM installed but want to change the dailer softkeys.
Thanks
You would have to find out a way to edit the DLL from post #4.
Unlike the softkeys from the homescreen the softkey on the dialer work totally different.
I didn't realise we were talking about the dialer when I posted above!
You can change the Left Softkey to the default contacts application (iContact BE on my phone) by setting the following registry DWORD to 1:
HKLM\Software\HTC\PHONE\LSKContact
Cab file attached (my first ever)
Also, you can drop this file in your Windows dir. Just overwrite the original with Total Commander or Resco.

What does this DLL do?
Now I have standard Windows Contacts or Pocket Informant, but I want iContact set as default contact button. This because in the phonepad I can't switch to second phone number when using smartdail...

That registry key is allready set to 1, but I can't get iContact to start...
What does your cab file do?

It just sets that one registry value, changing the left soft key of the dialer to "Contacts".
This launches the default contacts application - normally pOutlook but it should be iContact if you have installed it.
I installed the new iContact 0.9 and now it is default contact manager
Thanks

Thank you!!!
Before the bashing starts, I have used the search function, always do, but unless the title is done proper its very difficult to find what you are looking for.
Now to what I am looking for, if it exists.
As much as many of us love the animation on the HD2, its laggy and battery hog.
Has any one made a cab or can they make one that simple disables the animation part of the home screen, I know its clowdy out side i dont need to spend 20 seconds watching the clowds roll over my screen before the button I pressed actually works.
Hope this make sense, I want the weather to still show and so forth just get rid of the floating clouds or the windsheild whiper and so forth.. it will increase speed and increase battery.
Thank you in advance
Co0kies Home Tab adds a button to turn off the weather animations. Just add a quick link and it is in that first list. Not sure about a stand alone button cab.
I haven't been on a stock rom for some time but can't you just switch the wallpaper to an animated (nonweather) one? This will keep the clouds from popping up. Under settings, personalize...
in a registry editor browse to
HKCU/software/HTC/manila
Find the reg entry Home.WallpaperMode
set it to
0 for animated weather
1 for animated wallpaper
2 for plain (no weather)

k i have asked for this before, how do i access these reg files and in what program do I edit them? do you edit on the phone? or on pc then transfer it back in?
I want the weather to still appear just get rid of the animation part.
To the person up top who said to use settings, the animated wall paper still uses resources. I want to cut down on that.
and I dont want to add a whole program and change around the home page.. just a simple add on to disable or enable weather animation thats all.
Although the registry is technically a bunch of files, you won't see them as files. Think of it simply as 'the registry', not registry files.
For the easiest way to edit, download ceregistry editor. It runs on the pc, connects to your phone and you edit as you see fit.
For editing on the phone, I use resco, but its not free. Total commander is free and will do it, there are several others too.
ceregistry editor on the pc is the easiest tho.

Great info.. can you provide more step by step directions on how to use ceregistry? for first time so I dont mess it up. Im new but not that new, ive messed with reg files on the pc, its the saving transfering prat that messes me up with phone and you say connect phone, but once connected, how do move the reg file from phone to pc if i dont know were it is on phone to move it? see what I mean?
you dont move it, as i said its not files yuou can see, its a live set of data. You access it in the same way you might, for instance, access a database of names and addresses. You look at / edit the data, not move the files about.
download and install ceregistry editor
connect your phone
open cereg editor
click the very left hand button on teh toolbar (or click connection - connect , , or press f1.)
you see a tree view down the left, that is your main keys.
you are looking for HKCU/software/htc/manila (HKCU is short for HKey current user) so browse through it like you would a list of folders on the pc, till you find HKCU/software/htc/manila
in the list on the right, find home.wallpapermode and double click it to edit, , change the 0 to a 2, click ok, thats it, restart your phone, job done.
(if you are on a stock rom click tools - unlock registry if you get 'cannot edit registry' error)

give it a try, its basic stuff, no need to be fearful.
re: static weather, not that I know of. maybe theres an app that changes wallpaper in response to weather, but nothing I've heard of.

well you'll still see the little weather indicator right under the clock...you just won't see the full-screen effects like the big clouds, sunburst, raindrops, etc.

do what the guy mentioned..but choose your own wallpaper maybe one you downloaded...it wont be animated hence it wont drain your battery if you edit the registry...when you want to show off to all the lame people with iphones you wont be able to.
hate looking for things like this
can someone add this to the sticky ???!!! very useful info !!!!
