vp3G_PTT_Reassign.zip???

Hey guys,
Would anyone mind telling me what vp3G_PTT_Reassign.zip is and how to use it? I've looked for info on it but came up short... I even installed it and though ohh what the heck; my comm manager button (top left) doesn't work anymore...
Also, I'd like to know how you get the shiny numbers on the clock? The ones that are real bright...?
Last, how do we get the battery status bar (HTC Home plugin) to be on top of the today screen and not on the bottom? It's annoying to have to scroll down all the time. ;P
This is the picture of what it is supposed to look like. (Unfortunately, my batt status bar is on the bottom.)

I believe the yellow section is the freeware "BatteryStatus" plugin, the green section is the HTC Home plugin (Free for WM6 users, but can easily be found somewhere in this bulletin board, and easily modified with this), and the blue includes the WM default lock/unlock today plugin and the "system tray" for WM. The only question is whether this is actually running WM6 or if it's being skinned by Wisbar Advance, which is pay-for software ($10 USD).
Anything else?

about the battery status bar...
Nice move Myr,
I hadn't thought about that! Putting them in different color squares makes it a whole lot easier to explain!
You see, the yellow square is a the bottom, that is until yesterday! I opened my phone today, and now it's somewhere in the middle. but I still would like to have it on top like it is displayed on the image (mind you, the image I put on this post is the picture of what it's supposed to look like, not the way it shows on my phone...).
Now that you've boxed everything, in the green square your clock is bright, your icons right under are colorful and you have different color icons below that... I've wracked my brain to figure it out with no luck! I must be crazy 'cause it looks like the answer is right in front of me... I guess I'm "blind"! I'll read the link in just a sec... I'll let you know.
Phil

No luck there...
I guess some things are to be left untouched!
I tried the plugin. Unfortunately, the "file are not found" so it cannot continue its application. What next?
Phil

About your plugin...
Like I said before, it doesn't work...
But now it says something else; "Cannot detect Home plugin, defaulting to v1.5 settings"...
Any idea what thaqt means???

Today CommManager (skin BatteryStatus)

Hi,
Here's the last skin I made for BatteryStatus.
It's designed to be only a "Today CommManager", like Effcomm, but more graphical.

Features :
- toggle BT, WiFi and phone
- hold 1 second to have a little menu appear to select options concerning the item
Install :
- install batterystatus advanced (http://www.chi-tai.info/download/BatteryStatusExt.1.05.CAB)
- copy the dir and the XML file from the zip to \Windows\BatteryStatus
- change the theme in the options of BatteryStatus (Advanced Tab)
I also put the "older" version :
WirelessSwitch
Same features, same install, different look.
Tested on a Kaiser with stock ROM.
Enjoy

cool , super ton idée ton skin ..
it beautifull, great idée ;D

Very nice, looks great and works well. Great for people like me who are too lazy to open the real comm manager.

Cool, thanks!

just a question : what is the calendar plugin you use on the today in the DiamondWSwitch picture ?
I try to find something that will just display enough calendar info without scrolling bar on the right.
thanks

Bug feedback
Hi,
I'm using the Wireless Today Switch, which I think is fantastic, so thank you for the effort that went into making it. I have disabled the background by removing the line in the xml and the background png. I think it is line three. Anyway, one think I have noticed is that when you press and hold the phone button, whether the phone is on or not, the bottom option in the context menu is always "Turn off phone". The functionality works, i.e. it does switch the phone on when it's off, but the text is wrong. I'll have a look at it later myself but do you know an easy solution to this? I'll post the no background edit with a screen shot later today.
Cheers,
andrew-in-woking

The single thing I did is the XML and the graphics, the other functions are Batterystatus's. So is this little bug

It's TodayAgenda. The great thing with this plugin, is that you can set a fix size... Set it to 62 and it's perfect

Screen shots & no background
Hi,
I've attached the edited skin with no background with a general screen shot and one of the menu error.

installed battery status. why dont i have the adcanced tab!!!!
i want to set the theme and i cant do it

Did you download the advanced version of Batterystatus ? (just click the link on the first post)

iPhone Theme/No WiFi (Perfect for HTC Touch)
Sorry for resurrecting such an old thread, but this seemed as appropriate a place as any to post this.
Though skinning and such is not my usual forte, I put enough work into this that it's only fair to share. This app was exactly what I was looking for when I decided I wanted a bluetooth on/off switch on my today screen... but, I really wanted it to match my iPhone icons. The result is attached. I've eliminated the wifi toggle since my HTC Touch has no wifi.

hi everyone does anyone know where i can get the large menu in this picture (right picture) or even just its name...i do no its from the touch hd though
btw this picture is from cmex's rom

that one up here should be part of the touch HD SIP (software keyboard)
however, u can get something similiar for other programs. its called "finger menu".

This is it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
I'd be careful with it on the X1 though!

It is still under development
I tested it on X1 and there's a problem with the background transparency because it uses alphablend

alpha sometimes worx and sometimes it doesnt. in general ... high potential, but loads of minor anoying bugs.

Works perfect for me. be sure to install it on device memory, and soft reset.

perfect? i doubt it!
try to copy/paste Numbers in your Contacts.
try to select folders in files exlorer (upper left menu without installing plugins to fix it)
some programs simply dont work
perssing the OK button while finger menu is open screwes the Program and closes Finger menu ...
thats far from perfect but pretty good start
my advice, go to advanced config, open interface and increase the "popup menu fontsize" to 1000 or ore more.not nearly as nice but works like a charm so far.

If you use portrait more than landscape then try 1200 and the use the light font that gets installed with Yota contacts (don't think it's available seperately, but I'll extract it later on if you want)
That looks really nice, is even more finger friendly and the font looks very crisp..

thanks for the info, i dont think will try finger menu yet, maybe at a latter stage in its development!
changing the pop-up menu font size works perfectly, exactly what i wanted.
fards if you could extract the better font for me when you have spare time that would be brilliant,
Thanks everyone

Quick Menu disappeared after ROM upgrade..

Hello everybody
Yesterday I tried to upgrade my HTC TD2 form WM 6.1 to 6.5
After reading the instructions from the official site, I've succesfully (as I thought) installed the 6.5 version on my htc
Unfortunately, after this, I realised that the Quick Menu icon and the Task Manager tab from the Settings menu have been vanished
I tried everything to bring them back (including many hard resets) but nothing worked - the quick menu icon is still missing
I dunno what else to do, should I downgrade my phone back to 6.1 or there's a solution to make this quick menu/task man. work again...

Do you mean the program Quick Menu? or are you referring to the task manager?

I mean this icon on the upper right of the screen
http img13.imageshack.us/img13/5287/iconhf.png
It's completely gone and I can't find any way to make it appear again..

WM6.5 has replaced the task manager with the drop down menu.
You can install another task manager but it will be difficult to access as you have to hit just the very edge of the taskbar and the "X" will not display.
An alternative would be to run the program QuickMenu which provides an alternate start menu and has built in task manager, but it resides on the left instead of the right.

Excuse me for not being so clear.. It's quite late in the evening here in Greece
youtube.com/watch?v=BlRpUaHzvK4&feature=related
In this vid you see that the Quick Menu (this is how it is referred in the manuals) is located on the upper right of the screen (most times next to the battery meter) , and when you click on that it'll open a drop down menu with the Programs name and and X next to it (so that you can close any program quickly)
After I upgraded my phone, this is completely gone, and next to the battery meter there's nothing (just a small empty space), and I can't find any way to make it appear again. Even after 5 hard resets, this problem still persists
Should I downgrade to get it back or there's a way to fix it?..

No, you were clear and I understand what your issue is.
I have enclosed a taskmanager that will work, but as I previously stated, it probably will not display as it used to and will be hard to access.
I have since switched to using a program called QuickMenu that will display all of your running programs and can be closed from the menu, same way as it does in a taskmanager. Its just sits on the left of the taskbar and not the right.
Sorry if my explanation wasn't clear.

I see..
It was a good feature, I can't really understand why it was removed.. Anyway
Where I can get this QuickMenu program you use?
Thanks for your answers, you've been very helpful

There's an extra taskbar

A couple of days ago the alarm clock in my Mini sounded, so I tried to take it not looking at it, touching the screen, buttons and who knows what else. The thing is, when I looked at the screen, there was a new bar!
It looked like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

Not exactly, since that's a quick Photoshop work I've done, but you get the idea.
Does anyone know to make it appear again? It was the first time I saw it

just tap at left of edge icon (E or G).

Could you specify where exactly? (in a picture or something). I'm trying what you said but I only get the Notifications window

Exactly below The H of HTC logo at top.

Thanks, but that only takes me to the notifications window... have you seen the image I posted?

i think that might be appearing due to any of insatalled application on my device. and yes it is as per the screen shot(not photoshoped). A zoom button, clock, connectivity, battery, etc.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, but I haven't installed anything like that, that's the weird thing
There's a guy in a Spanish forum who saw that bar once also, but no idea how he managed to show it

i saw a similar taskbar but disappeared the same way you mentioned before

Same here...i was reading a buk using adobe reader when i accidently pressed taskbar..this another bar poped up but was gone next second....i tried several times after that...got it one more time..but not after that..

taskbar
I have this piece some times after I have established foreign taskbar crept out!

I got it. Install X-task. and u will get it every time.

Do you mean this one?
I don't really care about having that taskbar or not, what I'd like to know is just how that happened and how can I see it again.
Mine didn't show and disappeared again, I pressed the zoom icon and my screen zoomed in a lot. Then I tapped the X and the screen went to the normal view, with no taskbar this time.

go for this.

The bar you've seen is probably the original WM 6.5.x bar which is normally hidden by default, due to the HTC bar, might be a bug if this old one appears.

You might be right, I've found this picture
That's exactly the bar I saw
Finally, mistery solved
Thanks so much

How do we get back this original WM bar?

I guess if you disable/uninstall HTC Sense... but dunno how

I've tried that. Didn't work. Still get HTC notifications.

Hi check out this thread..
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=664889&highlight=hints
Sorry unable to post links.
Instal the task manager and whenever you tap the clock you will get the bar pop up.
