Bluetooth indication - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps

Is it possible to make a small tool that shows a small indication at the taskbar if the Bluetooth is on or of?
I use the windows dialler pad because the ring delay is lower than the HTC dialler.
But than you will have no Bluetooth indication.
It would perfect if the indication is very small. I don’t need a icon because this will waste the small place of the task bar.
Just a blue dot like the white dot that appears when Gsen is active.
Have a nice day

Sorry for my English. I tried my best

I'm very much in favour of it. Have the same problem!

Me too please.... I have requested this before, but no luck yet.... I now use a programme called "bluepower" which turns on the bluetooth whenever my diamond is being charged. So when I am in my car and my phone is in the cradle, I know bluetooth is on. I don't need an indicator in the taskbar as I KNOW it is active. Therefore I can stick to the windows dialer for the same reasons as you.

I found this after a very quick google. Tested and working fine on my Diamond.

I've also added the information to my WM dialer skin thread. )

Juhu, it`s works!!!

- Fix all trueVGA graphical problems. Icons, screens, etc. I would like to run in trueVGA full time without having these types of issues.
- Unlock Extended ROM so people can put their own apps in for the next hard reset. ;-)
- Put the "Tray Display" utility into the ROM so people can show or hide their trays. File name "traydisplayinstall_196.CAB".
- Setup the "BlueTooth Tray Status & BT Audio Util" on the ROM. File name "btIO-0.5.CAB".
- Maybe the functionality to add/remove program icons from the tray without having to modify the registry? ;-)
- All black VGA theme. Similar to the default WM6 theme but all black.
- If possible, maybe an updated version of Pirazu so we can control a mouse cursor with the joystick?
- Alternative to BlueMouse so we can use a BT mouse cursor on the device. BlueMouse is nice but it costs.
Make it work like "Touch" may be the looks....

Yes...how did I forget this. For sure trying to tie the vueFlo into other apps and possibly games, etc.

For me, these first five would be a darn good start.
- With #1 - Usable dialer in TrueVGA would be #1 on my list.
Couple more (may already be fixed in WM6, but have yet to plunge):
- WiFi On/Off is flaky unless you actually go into the Comm Manager (e.g., PhoneAlarm and other programs are not effective)
- I still have problems doing multiple mappings to Win and OK buttons. AEBPlus does this kinda, but then other buttons get mucked up. Given few number of buttons, this is really limiting.
Wish list:
- USB-powered Beer Tap. I know the low-power port might be an issue, but I'm sure this should be doable. Integration with MS VC would also be great, "Computer, pour beer." (All I can say is, it's been a long day!)
Actually I should have just put mapping of the vueFlo API. That should open up the rest of the developers to building cool widgets also.
VueFlo for rotate screen like iPhone

i think rotate screen would a great feature when you see a photo .
widcomm bluetooth stack =) for dun
also a way to use another windows phone as a bt headset like the touch (if possible)
Solid & Fast ROM compatible with previous backups
Damn guys...you're not asking for much are you...hehe. Actually I quite like the sound of the all Black VGA ROM with Touch like interface.
But hey, I'll settle for a an all black super reliable and damn fast ROM in vanilla favour.
You guys have made some great suggestions, that I can't argue with. All I can say..is I'd love a ROM that I can use my Spb Backup files with...without corrupting any software, so when you release version 0.1, 0.2 etc...it will still be compatible with my backup files, making the switching of ROM's a quick thing to do.
I hate my phone being out of action. and having to re-install everything again.
I third the black vga theme. Also in vga mode is it possible to make the start bar a little bigger so it is more finger friendly. Something the size of when it it is in qvga mode would be great. Also when you push the start bar and the drop down list pops up it would be great if that was larger with larger text. Also at least for me in vga mode in wm6 none of the 3g, signal strength icons show up in the start bar only the time does.
The only thing i'm against is the vueFlo. Except the part about using vueFlo to sense when to rotate the screen.

i think i can fix the larger text part...
here try this
WARNING...THIS IS NOT REVERSIBLE....NOT WITHOUT CHANGING SOME REG. ENTRIES... AT LEAST (and i don't know which one's need to change!!)
works well with se VGA too esp. if you have fading eyesight!!!
How about an icon on the task bar that rotates screen.
Also, when using the device in QVGA mode, smaller icons on today screen, start/program screen, start/setting screens.
When in VGA mode, but running a QVGA program , show a matching size bigger soft key buttons.
Show connection icons (H, 3G, G) correctly when in true vga mode.

Bluetooth on Today

Can someone make a cab that would be a plugin for the today screen that would show a bluetooth icon that would allow me to turn BT on and off? What I have is the HTC home plugin, and i would like the BT icon under that on the left with my calendar showing up to the right of it....Do you understand what I mean? I have looked and looked but haven't found anything to do this. PLEASE someone help me. I have found one program similar but all I want is BT control with the icon. Can someone help me? Basically the BT icon on the left and my calendar show up right next to it on the right.
Thanks in advance!!
There's a program called BTToggle that allows you to turn it on or off just by launching it. You can put a direct link on your screen or as I did, a assigned one of my hotkeys to it...

Some minor inquiries

I have notice that when my bluetooth headset connected to my Dual, you only notice the headset logo only on dialing mode and not shown on the task bar... why is that?? How to show it there on the task bar??
Second, after installing Tom's Rom, on the message which I had receive, I unable to forward it to other. The forward wordsing was not hightlighted. How to fix this problem as well.
Thank you for the assistant.

Since Dual is to have the cube menu.... why is it only 3 sided instead of 4?? How to make it 4?? or how to customize it into 4 side (which really is cube).
Thanks in advance again.
No one has this problem??

Not searching the forums is just going to get you ignored!
Modify cube
My vario11 did the same with the headset when on both wm5 and wm6.

hide bottom/softkey bar when sip active??

ive been trying to figure out how to do this for a loooong time. i use pcm keyboard with an iphone skin and its HUGE. it plus the bottom bar take up more than half the screen. plus its easier to type/know where the letters are if the keyboard is all the way on the bottom. i use a hardware key to toggle the sip so i don't need the bottom bar to disable the sip. anybody know if its physically possible to hide the bottom bar when the sip is active (or make the sip cover the bottom bar)???
Edit (11/21/2008):
if anyone is interested in this i might have some info you might find useful:
when i use the attached .tsk file, the behaviour of my tob and bottom bars becomes completely unpredictable. basically i end up with a combination one of the following combinations:
-normal topbar
-no topbar
-"transparent" topbar (so that i see the top few pixels of my spb mobile shell theme)
and..
-normal bottom bar
-no bottom bar
-bottom bar on which the keyboard overlays (when activated) << this is the original desired effect!
see the attached images for examples
i can't just keep this theme because behaviour is unpredictable and sometimes causes freezing. Also, choosing a different theme returns the bars to normal behaviour.
other info: i have t-mobile wing and use an open touch v6 rom, spb mobile shell w/ a greatbal diamond theme, and s2u2.
That's my problem too.
Support.
Never heard on anything that will do this. But it's a very good idea.
vijay555 made an tool called today toggle that did that on the today screen (I don't know if it hid the softkeys when the today screen did not have focus). It was originally written for WM2003. I have not seen much about it in a long time. Try checking his website http://www.vijay555.com
i did read alot about VJ's todaytoggle but i assumed and other people confirmed that it only works on the today screen. i guess ill play around with it when i get a chance and report back here

VJToggle only hides on today screen. I wish someone can come up with a way of hiding these things other than today screen!
thanx for the replies
yea VJ's tool only works on the today screen. i wouldve thought that someone would have already made this possible but it seems very few ppl have even thought about it. im sure one of the developers here can make this happen!!
bummmmpppppp
(am i right in thinking that thats wat u say when u want ur thread to be "bumped up" so more ppl can see it??)

Bluetooth icon

I did a hard reset yesterday and now i can't see the bluetooth notification icon in the menubar, so now i can't see if my bluetooth is on or off. Does anyone have a solution for this?
You sbould be able to go into start-->settings-->connections-->comm manager and take a look. It'll show you if bluetooth is on or off.
Yes I now. But before the reset i had the icon in the titlebar. In that way i could easily see in my homescreen if my bluetooth was on or off. It was also very handy because i used to set btIO-mini (which is a bluetooth toggle) to a hardware key for easy and quick switching.
problem solved. I removed my dialer skin (mrincredible 3d) and the icon came back.
Just for your information: I tried another skin (Poorlyducks) for my dialer and had the same problem. The bluetooth notificationicon would'n apear. I removed the dialerskin and it came back. Will try some other skins in the near future but it seems that skins installed on my Jade make the bluetoothicon disapear, so be aware if you try some skins!
If you manage to find a nice skin (just for the dialer!) which doesn't make the bticon disapear let me know please.
There's plenty of dialers on here that you can isntall. Just do a search and you'll find them. Not sure about the disappearing icons though....never encountered that kinda problem. I'm using the SPB black47 dialer skin on my Touch. Looks great.
