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

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.

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 ".
Hi all. I suppose this may be a WM5 regional setting issue but I searched all over with no luck. I want to change the format of the Date item in the Today screen. Currently it displays the date with a line feed (wrap) between the day name and the date, and it has the current time right-aligned on the same line. I don't want the time shown here - it's already on the top bar. I only want the date (and possibly a slight larger font size) here with no wrapping. Is there a hack for this, or do I need to get a additional Today plugin for this?
this is the thread for a TodayTimeCab plug-in that can replace the default date/time display, where you can opt not to show the time (can also select the font size).

thanks raymonds!
no problem.
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.

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
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.
