[$$DEV REQ$$} - Utility To Remove Today Prog Lines

NOTE -DOLLARS AVAILABLE TO ANY DEVELOPER FOR THIS PROJECT
I am looking for a developer to write a small utility that will remove the black lines on a Today screen that surround/delineate each Today item. The attached picture should help people to understand what I mean (see where the RED arrows are pointing).
The end result should be that any item seen on the Today screen will not have these black lines, leading to a clean, seamless look.
I was certain there was a registry hack for this; however after 2 months of fruitless searching on here and requests in other threads I have not found what I am looking for.
So what's different this time? Well, I will now pay someone to create a utility programme to achieve what I am looking for.
Interested and able to help? Please PM me.
Many thanks
WB

There's already an application which removes them... I ... crap, can't remember what it is. i'll search for it and let you know unless someone beats me to to it.

Nir,
Thanks. look forward to seeing what you can find.
WB

same as my problème?

thanks advance

It's the utility to change the colors of the today screen, I can't remember either.

i believe this is it.

hi this tool is awesome I didn't knew it, thanks for sharing
But it is not the tool asked, it is only to change the theme and the entire color of your phone

You could use Ultimate Launch. It doesn't display the lines between plugins.
It offers a few other perks too

All,
Many thanks for the various responses. I have used UI Tweaker several times to try to achieve what I want and while you can change the colour of the lines you can't entirely get rid of them.
As for Ultimate Launch, have also used that as an alternative UI but I don't like it I'm afraid.
The request is therefore still open for a developer to take me up on it unless someone comes up with an existing solution that does the job as I set out.
Appreciate the help so far.
WB

+1, I would be happy too if there is way to delete those lines

maybe i was wrong about UI Tweaker then.. because i KNOW there's an app to remove the lines.. i used one. i'll search again.

Nir 36,
Thanks in advance for looking. Hope you find the item. This has been a very long quest for me.

LOL you.. here? wahou
UI tweaker I try to but not work

yeh
I'm everywhere too ...
Still no idea guys... ?

Yeah. I originally asked here about this on XDA-Dev's about 3 or 4 years ago. The only response that I really received was that the lines are coded in to the shell32.exe or possible gwei.exe [sic]. I know that Wisbar Advance Desktop and a few other programs will remove the lines. However, those programs have a lot of other functions that some people may not want.
Here's my original post from '05.

I can't believe you made your request so long ago and are still waiting for a solution.
I agree with you that all that is required is a small utility to achieve this. Just looking for a talented developer on here to take this on. I am absolutely serious about paying someone to do this so its worth their while.
There are a fair few people who want this so its over to you guys, unless Nir36 finds the tool he says he knows of.
Thanks
WB

I'm sorry, i can't find it. I searched everywhere... so it's one of 2 things.
either i'm senile and i used UI Tweaker, or it's just... gone.
if i manage to find it sometime i'll post it.

I would be willing to give some $ to, If some one would like to make a app, for this.
Thanks T M Z

apparntly i got theme to be "transparent" because my background was black

You can achieve this, if you don't change theme too often and if your theme (TSK) file isn't with draws, with a tool like UI Tweaker from Victor Wong (http://mobile-sg.com), with the excellent ThemeGenCE (PC tools to modify the TSK file or with SKTools (in color tweaks)
Put the 'Today Screen horizontal Bar' at a very close color of your theme... The bars will be 'erased' (you won't see them...)
Hope this helps...

Music ID

Hey all, i really want this as everyone seems to rate it but when you download the CAB file it downloads two link files and an XML which takes you to opera - doesn't seem to want to download like a normal CAB file...still a bit new at all of this but if anyone can tell me how I actually get it installed and working I would be very grateful!
Thanks.

Try this version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
Put the cab file on the device, find it on the device using explorer & launch it. It will install.

argh misicid
finally downloaded it didnt work and now cant uninstall searched here did what they said with the reinstall and now i have three dead nusicid icons !! any help please?

Getting rid of MusicID
Hey all, posted on this before but it seems to have gotten lost. I downloaded MusicID using the links people posted, never got it to work so tried to uninstall and it left an icon in my programmes, did what people said and tried to uninstall by reinstalling and now i have THREE musicid icons left none of which work - can someone tell me how to get rid of this horrid programme (which incidentally sadly doesnt compare with Shazam at all :-( )

This is the third new thread you have started on this topic. Please read the sticky at the top of the Forum and stop polluting - this is not a Helpdesk and you are not entitled to an answer.
I suspect diligent use of the search tool would give you what you need - I'm sure I remember seeing a solution

Thank you for your post.
There is no solution posted here as regards to uninstall (and my initial direction was as to "install"), or rather there is one that was posted to another member and does not work, indeed it is a problem many have referenced hence the inquiry (not a demand for a response).
There are many questions posed here with people asking for assistance and many people who are good enough to provide answers recognising that is part of the spirit of this forum - if you do not wish to answer the thread then there is no obligation to do so but I do not feel that people should have any hesitation in posting on any matter they may choose.

If by what your saying you mean there's an broken shortcut to the application under the programs menu that was left behind after you uninstalled the application, you can delete those broken links by going into Windows/Start menu/Programs. Here you should see all the .lnk files associated with every program you have on your phone (including the broken links for musicId). Just delete these and they should be gone. Of course needless to say.....I'm sure you've already uninstalled the application from under start-->settings-->system-->remove programs.

in /windows/Start menu/Programs folder remove the icons.
and i agree with iain.fraser, a simple bump to the original thread should have sufficed

Thank you for the help.
The icons are there when you go windows/start/programs (not in the scroll down start menu or the slide along menu but actually on the programmes screen which shows all programmes i.e just like the icons for all the other applications, activesync, camera etc...) and cant seem to be deleted from there and there is no option to delete icons ( this is following uninstalling the programme by "removing programmes").

Its always good to have a program like SK Tools and officialy uninstall the programs from there to make sure they are completely gone!

Hmmmm that's weird. What options do you get if you tap and hold using your stylus on the musicID icons? Coz well, deleting icons is a pretty straight forward process.

Your slightly hurt tone might have been avoided by your reading the rules of the Forum, which apply to you just as they do to everyone else here.
It is not your request that poses an issue, rather the three requests in fairly quick succession, which edges towards demanding.
Plugging the search terms 'MusicID' and 'uninstall' into the Forum Search facility at the top of the Forum returned two hits, the second of which is a thread around the coolest applications installed. Post 17 of that thread purports to offer a solution to uninstalling. If you have already tried that, you could widen out to other Forums, to the Internet as a whole, or even contact the developers of MusicID before bumping one of your original threads. Any of these would be fine - starting another new thread isn't.
Please do read the sticky - it might prove useful in future

Thanks i know its strange and frustrating - basically it created a new file called "ATT music", you click on that file in the programmes page (not the touch flo programme page where you can select and remove whatever you want but the windows programme page which shows you everything) and it opens a new icon saying "3 music id" i try to delete that by holding the stylus on it and it just says the file cannot be opened and to try reinstalling or restoring it. There are three such ATT files now on my system that i can't delete.

Hmmm...try deleting the files through activesync. Or as a last resort.....use SK Tools. It's pretty effective. You can download a trial version.
Good Luck.

Great thanks - i'll give it a go. help much appreciated!!!

Hi, Sorry to hear it did not work for you. Did you have .net 3.5 installed?
This is the link I used to find the right cab: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3041910&postcount=37
I did read on another forum that the trick to uninstalling it was to install again on top and reply "yes" to the remove earlier version option and then cancel the install after that.
It works very well on my HD - I can sit in the chair across the room from the radio and it will pick up the music fine and after about 30 seconds it has done the sampling, analyzing and provided the track details.
It's not very good on classical music though !!

Thanks cheesy dave. I tried what the uninstall by reinstall and it just gave me another dead icon (now 3 as i tried it twice).
It's a shame as it looks like fun if you can get it to work. I think i have the old net compact (is there a way to check) maybe the first thing i should do is upgrade it.

Hi, you should know if you have .Net 3.5 as it needs to be installed separately. By default the HD comes with the much earlier .Net framework. So if you have to ask then probably you have only the standard. I would recommend installing the new version - there are links in this forum for it. Also, try the wiki pages:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Software
Many applications need the new version to work. I personally have no idea if musicid needs it. It does work fine on my HD and I do have .net 3.5 installed and set as the default.
Here is a useful link that has the registry key you can check to see what .net you have:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460006
I find the musicid fun, I doubt I will use it every day but now and then it will be good to have it available.
Regards, D

Here is the Microsoft link for .Net 3.5:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...3c6b-42f1-9fd9-0041345b3385&displaylang=en&tm
(if the link is no good then go to microsoft and search for "NETCFSetupv35")

what happened when you tried SKtools?

Newbie needs help "pimping" his diamond.

Good morning all.
Basically as the title says, I need help customizing my diamond. I've had it a while and am getting pretty bored of the same old TF3D home screen etc. I've looked over all your designs etc and they are pretty dam good.
I would like to customize mine but have absolutely no idea where to start, if any of you could give me an idea on where to start and what to install etc, that would be great.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

The search bar is ur bestest best friend. But to help out, any post with [THE] before it is theme-related, and [WALL] tends to be wallpapers. You can achieve virtually any look for your Diamond by combining different apps. Here's a good link to get you started:

Thanks for your help. I just wondered if there was additional software i needed or anything like that before i install these.

Yes, there might be a possibility that you ned this program.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405749
It may help installing the themes.

there ain't nothing to it
but to do it
if all goes wrong, you can still hard reset your device
and start over
i started with manila editor to create my own custom slider bar and icons
and dl-ed some dll's for the taskbar and used someone elses clock from a forum

I started with installing A.Z.T.O.R.
got myself Manilla
Downloaded some nice themes etc.
atm i am looking for a program wich makes it posible to give all tabs in TF3D a nice background instead of just the Today screen

Easiest way I found was to get yourself some .cabs, easy install and uninstall.
Almost idiot proof! (well I worked them)
They're dotted around everywhere on these forums, just look in clocks, customizing taskbar, etc. threads....oh, and remember to thank the creator.
I started that way and now i'm getting to grips with the editors. Step-by-step

Please please help backround all tabs

Hi somewhat a newbie previsouly owned diamond and vouge but I'm really ready to pull my hair will be more then happy to donate to whoever may help,All I'm trying to do is get background all on tabs I"ve tried to install countless cabs and everytime I try a diffrent one it locks up my TF3D I have seen the program HD wallpaper thing but all I'm really want is a simple cab that will change my wallpaper to be the same on all tabs, I've tried touch X X extreme,backroundalltabs, and countless other ones sorry if I sound tense but have spent about 6 hours on this now, My Rhodium is my baby and I want it to look awsome, and I'm sure that Im probably missing something very simple in my ignorance ! I thank you so much in advance! and if could please post link for a way to donate with reply TY GOT IT TOGETHER THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED ! Found VGA backroundalltabs cab would post link for anyone else having this problem but don't know how, i'm sorry. but wanted to say THANKS to all you who donate your time to help everyone else experience the incredible things are devices can do! Keep up the GREAT WORK

Hehe, you need to take a deep breath and relax. Revisit the thread where you got the HD Wallpaper Creator and read the 1st post in it's entirety. This tool works. Trust me, it's worth the time. Your wallpaper will look nicer, especially if you flip to landscape.
No need for donation for this. It's too easy.

transparent search bar background

Hello everyone,
Im rather new here.
I did search about 50435940 times before making this post but I didn't find what I was looking for. I have the tmo stock 6.5 rom with I think manila 2.1, anyway I am looking for the background to be transparent behind the search bar on the internet tab.
Like whats on this thread /showthread.php?t=630402 (still not allowed to post links I guess ... ) only for tf3d 2.1. I looked through a little bit of code on the device as well, and I looked through that cab file in hopes of finding something similar to tweak, but I remain puzzled at how to do this... or where to find the correct file to get started. There seems to be ALOT of manila files.
Any help or pointing me in the right direction is appreciated. Thanks everyone.
