Hi,
Upcoming events dates are shown like this:
11/15
11/16
11/19
11/24
I'd like to change this to show day before month, like this:
15/11
16/11
19/11
24/11
I can't find where to change this in the registry, please help
TIA
"Tomten"
You change this in Settings - System - Regional Settings - Date tab

Sorry, no such option there. This is very strange because we've always put day before month. I also asked SE Support and they told me that the only way to change this is to change to another country

I think it's the way that the Sony Ericsson panels have been coded. I have the same issue on mine.
What regional setting are you in?
UK = day/month
US = month/day
You can override for date and time format if you know how in registry. Here is mine for US display format.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides]
"STFmt"="h:mm:sstt"
"SSDte"="M/d ddd"
"SLDte"="MMMM dd, yyyy (ddd)"
"SDate"="/"
"SCrcy"="$"
"S2359"="pm"
"S1159"="am"

The regional settings are correct. It's just the Sony Ericsson Panel when it's displaying the calendar which shows mm/dd

Any app that can show the day of the week in the Today screen? Day and date would be just about enough for me.
Calender + might be a good app for you. It shows you several days and it's free. http://www.freewareppc.com/clock/calendar.shtml
Personal I use pocket informant v5.61 with the links on my todayscreen linking to that program. If you are used to it you can't live without it !!
Regards,
R,
I use Pocket Informant too, but I haven't found any way to display this information. I don't want a whole calendar, just the day and date on the Today screen.
If you select to display 'Date' in the settings \ today \ items, wouldn't that be OK?
That doesn't display the day, only the date. I'd like both.
On my XDA II, Date shows both date and day. Make sure your regional settings are set to show both; settings / system / regional settings; look at the bottom appearance sample for Long date; you can edit this setting on the date tab. Mine is set for dddd, MMMM dd, yyyy.
-e
That was the solution I wanted, but unfortunately I can't edit the setting. Any register buff that can point me in the right direction?

As I understand U want the day notification under today screen date...if is it so...here U have the registry changes to do:
1) Go to the HKLM\nls\Overrides key.
2) Add a String value called "SLDte" if it does not already exist.
3) Set the value to a valid date format (ie for "Tuesday 8 February 2005" use "dddd d MMMM yyyy")
4) Soft reset.
Hope it helps :wink:

Primoz - You da god! Exactly what I wanted. Somehow, the Swedish translators has fucxed this up somewhere.. Checked my iPAQ and it had the same flaw.
One strange thing is if you change your regional settings, for an exemple, to English (United States) which has a long date like "dddd, dd MMMM, yyyy". Then switch back to Swedish and you will see that the long date looks like this "fredag, 25, februari, 2005". But when one presses ok this disappears...
Just discovered that if you change it to English (United States) and then make a soft reset. After that the phone has reset you change it back to Swedish and then you have a swedish long date like "dddd, dd MMMM, yyyy" in the today view
I don't know how long this will last, but there seems to be some kind of solution to this problem anyway.
This also works with calendar +
Thanks Primoz
I also dicoverd you can add your own text like " 'Today 'dddd d MMMM yyyy " and you will have " Today friday 25 Febrary 2005 ".
Does anyone know a way to put the date on the taskbar with the start button and time etc? I want to do this so I can remove the date from the today screen, and also so I can see the date from any window, like the time.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other
At section `Change the display of the clock in the taskbar`
Note: Once you've change the registry. Give it a good (say) 3-5 minutes for it to have it registered/stored before doing a soft reset. If the time/date doesn't change after soft reset, check the registry again, probably you didn't give it enough time to update. Although this reg edit is relatively harmless, back up your device before doing so.

Thanks, this worked great, I have the date on my taskbar now, however when trying to alter the short date I have a problem. If I do this example given, "To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" = ddd/d" then this works fine. What I actually want is to show the day and the month, i.e. for the 5th June, i'd like it to display 05/06. I've tried to do this but it displays as "05/m". Any ideas why this happens?
bumpety bump!
You need to use an uppercase M, not lowercase m.
m = minutes, which is invalid in the date field, so it just uses 'm'
M = month, which is valid in the date field, and so should show the date.
Note that if you want the leading zero, you'll need to use MM.
What device or ROM does the Tweaks thread cover?
My Cingular 8125 doesn't have the key described for changing the clock and/or date on the taskbar. :?
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell has no "TBOpt" key on my 8125.
Anyone know where the tweak can be made on the 8125?
Thanks.

I had considered it, but without knowing, I didn't want to add a key.
No problem! Just post again if you have any trouble
I tried to do this per instructions but the final 6 (5/5/06) cuts off. I tried to change it to short date but it didnt work. I had to add the SSDte key but it deletes everytime i restart the phone.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this issue? It appears the date is being cut off...
That's the space reserved for the X/OK button covering the 6.
I don't know how to change the date in the taskbar to the short date format. That would probably help.

Ok.. now in short format with either M/d or M/dd I get some odd display. See attached.
Did you try leaving a pace or two after the date code?

Great!
Where was the registry key for changing the date, BTW? (Never get used to this WM5!!)
Never mind - add it, right?
I'm looking for keys that ain't there again!
Does this work on the AKU2 roms?

I used RegistryWizard to get the date onto the taskbar. It does not have any formating options for the date... thus why im in this thread.
See here for RegistryWizard:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39725
Some people are having issues with the latest version (including me) but the second most recent works fine to add the date.
I went to "Regional Settings" and under the "Date" tab, I do not see the ability to change the date format to D/M/yy (i.e. 31/01/07). The only one available is D/MMM/yy (31/Jan/07).
Is there any registry hack to change it to short date/month/year without spelling the month?
I have it in mine. I have dd/mm/yy and also D/M/yy. You might want tell us which ROM you use and region you set. I'm using the UK region settings.

Hi there
I'm looking for someone who can help me with adjusting the regional settings on my phone.
I've got the region set to the right one, English (South Africa) where I am, but I would like to have more options with regards to date display...
the only options I have are either "yy/mm/dd" or "yy-mm-dd"
and I'd really like to change it to "ddd, dd mmm, yyyy"
From Modaco:
Change the Short Date Format
Applications may call upon the system to provide a 'short date format'. One such application is the Date/Time display in the taskbar, if set to show the date. To change the Short Date Format to show "Mon/2" (example):
HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte = "ddd/d " (REGSZ string, no quotes)Note 1: For more information on date/time formatting strings, see: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...vbenlr98/html/vafmtuserdefineddateformats.asp
Note 2: All applications using the short date format will be affected by this change. Choose wisely
Aaaaahhhh THANK you very much... there's not enough space on the line to show it all, but at least I can change it... thanks :-D
Hello,
Is it possible to get the information about the day (Sun, Mon etc) in M2D Home Tab?
I tried changing the date on the left side top of M2D Home Tab, by changing the regional settings(or HKLM\nls\overrides) but to no avail.
This link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446406) tells me its not possible.
Now is there an possibility to customize M2D (customizing HTCHomeSettings.xml) to display the day of the week anywhere else on the screen?

No you cant change, unless you use the newer M2D versions.

Success!!
I did manage to change the date and to display the day of the week on M2D.
I got this information while browsing another forum (Jade). The thing missing was the "HKCU\MUI\Curlang" registry edit.
Thanks nikmaster74 and azahidi.
For your reference:
8) Change Date Format on TF2D Home Tab - Credit to nikmaster74 for pointing this reg edit.
Check registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - if value is 1033 (decimal), most likely the date format will be american format (mmm dd, yy). Changing registry <SSdte> at this state will not change the date format at Home Tab.
How to change ?
Go to registry HKCU\MUI\Curlang - change value 1033 to 409 (decimal) - Save - Soft Reset >>> date on Home Tab will change to format dd/mm/yy (depending on what's at <SSDte>).
Now, if you want to change to other formats, go to HKLM\nls\overrides\SSDte and put whatever format you wish.
e.g. ddd dd/MM/yy will return a date Thu 29/01/09. Note: doing this will also change date format at other tabs like emails, messages, file folders, etc.
