Lower task bar

I want to remove the battery8 icon and connection manager from the lower taskbar so did a search and came up with this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46713&highlight=remove+system+tray
which pointed me to this wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry
"Remove Icons from the Taskbar
To Remove Battery:
HKLM\services\power\?ShowIcon === change from 1 to 0 (zero).
To Remove Screen Rotation:
HKLM\services\screenrotate\?ShowIcon === change from 1 to 0 (zero)
To Remove the Wireless connection manager
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\?WirelessMgr\keep and change the DWORD Keep to 0, soft-reset
If you remove all three icons, taskbar will be removed and more space on today screen."
So I use my trusty total commander, go to HKLM, go to the services directory but then don't see anything resembling ShowIcon or WirelessMgr. What am I missing here?
BTW, I have a Cing 8125 with Summitters 2.3 test2.

Those tweaks are for the universal not the wizard thats why you can't find the keys you want.
To remove the system tray just delete the init_tray.lnk from the windows\startup folder on your device and soft reset.

Mark, if I delete init_tray.lnk, will that let me use the space for the today screen instead, or is it still "reserved"?
Thanks

Yep will give you more space - make a copy of init_tray.lnk so you can put it back in the future if you need.

Oops, I didn't think to make a backup.. i'm sure someone will be able to provide it anyway should I need it in future.
I have a similar question along the same lines... pocket plus doesnt take up the whole today screen, is there a setting somewhere that i've missed, or maybe a regedit where you can specify the height of the today plugin?

Here is the backup file.
Sorry can't comment on pocket plus don't run that - me a much more basic kinda guy :wink:

Dudes, dudes! You have to try this:

Hi
as already told, you can remove Init_tray.lnk from startup. but be aware - this will make slight problems with software, which places icon in tray (CardExport, Pocket GPS Pro etc).
in addition you could gain more place by eliminating lower bar (with contacts and calender). they will be still accesible through soft-buttons, but will not take place on today screen.
i prefer dciNoBar
http://www.google.ru/search?hl=ru&q=dcinobar&lr=
(sorry, some links are in russian, but i think you will have no problems with finding download link).
if you like the result - you may add this program to startup folder so it will restart automatically after softreset.
BR!

Thats cool then if its possible - probably because i still have phm traylaunch and it stays where it normally is and i want it right at the bottom.
To take a screen capture use xnview download here http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=12698
its under tools\capture - i would be interested to see what setup you have and i will fiddle with mine a bit more - thanks
EDIT fiddled with it and yes - it works!!!! phm traylaunch is right at the bottom now. Nice one mate - cheers! Now I need some new themes - normal ones are not long enough.
EDIT2 can't get traylaunch to stay at the bottom - trying to sort out a workaround!
EDIT3 found a fix to keep phm traylaunch at bottom after softreset - open and shut keyboard and it moves to the bottom - GREAT!! v.v. grateful been looking for something like this for a while!

good prog

Thanks for the updated file.
Find enclosed a screen capture program - you can assign to a hard key.
through settings\buttons
Its only drawback is that it saves in bmp format
EDIT version 0.02 does not seem to work so well - on my device - the soft keys often don't seem to work, i only got them to work once - I go back to the other version.

No soft key buttons
I have put dcinobar into a cab for easier installation.
Copy cab onto device, click on cab, install to device and then soft reset.

VJToggleToday
For those using dcinobar - I have tried Vjtoggletoday and would have to say it works better. You can remove soft keys only, soft keys and start bar or startbar only - have it just the way you like it. Does not have the glitch dcinobar has where you need to open and shut the keyboard

Change your Default Calendar Version 0.01

I made it as simple as possible to change your prefered Calendar Manager, I use ThumbCal, which seems quite popular here. As downloaded, the script is setup for ThumbCal, but to change it all you have to do is edit the first 2 lines with a text editor.
Run the script and your Softkeys, links, and "Today Plugin" all call up Thumbcal, run again and it switches back to Office (Outlook) Mobile!
Does not support 3rd party software, for SPB Mobile Shell support see this thread.
MortScript is requied, download it here.
I hope you find this useful!
To use:
1. Download and unpack the ZIP file.
2. Edit the first 2 lines in the MSCR file, notepad works fine for this.
set AltCalendarName, "ThumbCal"
set AltCalendarPath, """\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe"""
3. Copy to your device, and make a shortcut.
4. Click the shortcut and answer the "Yes or No" question.
5. Repeat step 4 to swap between the two calendar managers!
NOTICE: I have seen this many of times, some softkey mapping software (most likely Spb Mobile Shell, this one does it the worst) hijacks the "calendar" softkey and redirects it to the "exe" instead of the "lnk". In any case this patch will still effect the Calendar Today Plug-in. You can remap your softkey with the mapping utility, how ever Spb Mobile Shell limits what you can select, so an additional one is recommended.

WOW..great thinking..
It has been asked abt Hundred of times to replace the Default Crappy Calender

Any screen shoot???

this is EXACTLY what i was looking for. thank you very much. if it doesn't take too much of your time and you can make one for changing the HTC Home Media Player to S2P instead of MP or HTC Audio Manager.. it would be fantastic.
THANK YOU

Just what I have been waiting for. There was nothing worse than having calendar items on the today screen, then pressing on them and it taking me to the default calendar, which I dont even use anymore. i had taken calendar off my today screen altogether. Now its back!!! thanks a bunch for this one.

Any news to get this feature on SPB mobile shell ?

change it easy guys.
as far as I know,I changed my calendar with the thumbcalc 0.51 simply with SK TOOLS.
There is a button change option.And many other offcours as well.But this is the easy way,without aknoledge of serious programming or programms..

Will be looking into that this week, looks complicated at the moment, but I think it will be possible.

is this not working for anyone else? :/
EDIT: NiteStalker, I checked my file paths, and everything is correct, when I press the .mscr file to toggle calendars, it tells me my default calendar has changed, but when I actually check my calendar "softkey" it has not changed.
Is there another script I could run to acheive the same effect?
UPDATE: I have also tried changing the File paths, and then changing the file location acoordingly with no result. I'm going to try to run it from the root, and see if it works.
UPDATE II: Launch off the root doesnt work, im going to check and see if the original Calendar is in the place referenced in the script for my device. (XV6900)

I run it from \Application Data\Mortscripts, but where its placed doesn't matter. When I run it my 'Softkey', 'Program Menu Link', and 'Today Screen Calendar Plug-in' all work. I'm using ThumbCal 0.51, but it shouldn't matter what app you run.
If the today plug-in works, but your softkey isn't, it's possible you have remapping software changing the default calendar link. If you have a softkey editor ensure it's pointed to the "calendar.lnk" in your start menu.
Also make sure you have 3 quotations (""") in front of and after the {set AltCalendarPath, """\Program Files\ThumbApps\ThumbCal\ThumbCal.exe"""}. If your missing even one, it will malfunction.
If none of this works, I don't know what to say, except that I run it on WM6.1, and my friend runs WM6.0, and it works on those.

I'm stumped, can anyone point me in the right direction?
EDIT: one sec. i posted at the same time as you. im reading.

How about a plot twist, I've never heard of either, and havent used any form of remapping software, should I just remap it to the correct place anyhow?
I may as well give it a shot.
UPDATE! I did it, when I looked at the mapping of the softkey it was going to "calendar.exe" instead of "calendar.lnk" so I just mapped it straight to touchCal for now, but now im curious and want to see if i can find the "calendar.lnk"

Calendar.lnk is in [\windows\startmenu\programs] usually, it can move around there. Remapping to that would allow you to successfully swap between the apps if needed.
ANYWAY I am glad we were able to solve your problem.

HD2 Telstra ROM Tweak - Default Splash Screen for Opera

Hi guys,
Got another tweak for you Telstra HD2 owners still running the stock ROM. This cab will remove the bigpond splash screen when you load up Opera and enable the default 'HTC: quietly brilliant' logo instead.
There are 2 files attached: one which keeps the animated progress bar during Opera startup and one which removes it. Personally I like the one which removes it, but you have the option to try both.
Again, each cab just makes the required registry changes and nothing more. Changes should work straight away, no reset required.
Note: This will NOT remove the Bigpond logo from the Internet tab. If anyone has an idea of how to change this back to the original, pleas let me know

thx so much for this, anyone know how to remove quicklinks to apps from telstra on apps page

Can you just give me the registry changes needed so i dont have to use the CAB?

xLAMBIEx said:

Yes mate...
HKLM\Software\Opera\Info
Set SplashProgressAnimation to 1 for on or 0 for off.
Just for future reference, you can unzip cab files and the xml file inside tells you what all the other files actually are, and also lists any registry changes.

Do you mean the quicklinks on the homepage are locked? if so, in the registry find
hklm/software/HTC/manila/home
You will see lots of numbered folders, these are the quicklinks.
lets say the shortcut is in the first left hand square, thats 0, so look in the 0 folder, look down for the entry IsReadOnly. If that is set to 1, the quicklink is locked. change it to 0 and you can remove the quicklink.

[App] 18 buttons Action Screen with Wifi & BT state indicator

I have adapted the HD 18 buttons Action Screen, with Wifi and Bluetooth status indicator, to the Rhodium bluetooth stack.
All credit goes to Wedge666 (thread here), to posters in his thread for customisation and of course to first Action Screen developper (I would quote him if I knew. Anyone knows? Or was it adapted from a HTC application?).
As in the original from Wedge666, you trigger with Manila Home tab right soft key, and you can configure program to make it running in background if you wish (quicker?). You have no confirmation message on shut down or reset.
You get advice about installation and basic customisation explanation in the HD thread.
Thierry
EDIT : on Roms with Action Screen already installed, it may be difficult to completely uninstall this version. And you need to apply the fix here.

Thanks thierry2064,
Will try it.
Greetings from Lille

You are welcome!
I attach here the version I use now, black and white except for the network status indicator, plain black background. Links to Pocket informant, Opera Mobile, Resco Explorer, Tomtom.. but this is easy to change, as explained in the HD thread. I may personalize it later (the favorite people button is a "heart" game card now).
Thierry

not showing up
i followed instructions for this by installing mortscript then .net.
nothing showed up on home tab.
the softkeys phone(L) and menu(R) still remain from rom .
im using HTCSense2.5 Landscape|Rhodium_AF|WM65 23529 by ark on my att tilt 2.
so by using total commander i see that it is intalled and the config icon is in start menu and folder in windows.
but how do i make a softkey for this or shortcut or something?
help?

Did you reset ? By the way if you had the cab in the third post (NC for no color), pease do not install, because I forgot some blutooth files... I will upload corrected version later.

help
i soft reset after every step.
action screen works, but i had to find link via total commander.
only action screen config had link in start up menu.
i copied paste action screen link to start up menu via total commander but link was not pretty and i dont know how to change its icon.
also, neither the left or right soft key changed after installation as mentioned in my previous post.
any help is much appreciated.
could it be the rom i am using?
i used the color actionscreen cab

If you feel like to change the registry (take care, if you do some wrong change you could have to hard reset), you can go to HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
then change HomeRSKPath to \Windows\ActionScreen\LauchAction.exe and HomeRSKText to Action. Afetr reset you should see "Action" on the right low corner of the Home tab of Manila. If it does not work I do not know, maybe you shopuld ask on your Rom thread...

thanks
thanks for your advice.
doing regedit is alil beyond me bcuz i am new to this.
i still appreciate your effort.

Here is the version I use now. I added text, and warnings for Power Off and Reset. Customized to my needs, you have to see explanations in the HD thread to customize it to yours.
Here is a customization tutorial : http://www.techparaiso.com/customiz...how-to-assign-it-as-power-button-application/
I do not use Photoshop, the freeware Paint.net does the basic work. The icons could be nicer, if you make or find some nice icons, please share the background and the icons so that we can use it!

Can you please work on setting the action screen to the power button of TP2 instead? thank you for your great work...

Hi charlieb620
You need to close the Action Screen process manually using a task manager like dotfred's or schap's. You're looking for HTCActionScreen.exe.

when i try to overwrite or uninstall i get this message. i dont want to hard reset but i think i might. cause now my phone freezes when i go to my action screen. and yes i have mortscript and sdk installed. i cant do anything. i get that message. when i kill process i go back to try to uninstall and will just stay there iin programs list

I am wondering if it is not a problem with another version of action screen installed on the Energy ROM. Can you see another one in "remove program" ? Maybe this 18 button action screen is not compatible with the Energy Rom (I have a stock Rom).

Hi charlieb620
Try using Total Commander to rename the extension of HTCActionScreen.exe to .ext or something like that. If it let's you, restart the device and you should be in business.

**Edit, removing program**

tried keyswop but it didnt work for me
managed to get it working with diamond tweaks but it only had a set amount of programs to choose from, i wanted 'HTC people' version of contacts but it only listed the windows mobile layout of the contacts... yeah i know i am being a bit picky!!!!
is there any way of adding htc people to the list?
Thanks for all the advice mate

I just find this:

You may try HDTools or Advanced Config aswell, I remember it worked for me when I had WM6.1, but should work also with 6.5, since the registry keys are the same in that area.
EDIT: I thought that it wouldn't be very smart to install a whole app just to get one tweak..so I made a little .cab that should link the Left Soft Key to Contacts. Tested and working on my device, I hope it works for you!
Install on your device (not SD) and soft reset, that's it. To revert to previous configuration just uninstall the .cab in the usual way.

That may help You forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3292483&postcount=2
