Lost the Bluetooth icon in my Mini

Dear All,
Suddenly, the Bluetooth icon which usually placed in tray is lost now in my mini.
How can I make it available again ?
Soft reset des not help...

make sure you have latest ROM for your mini. then check out this solution...
it involves some registry hacking and a freeware app called NoPlugins Today. It works on my i-mate JAM (with Qtek 1.11WWE ROM) there is a thread here but it is hard to search xda-dev so here is the procedure.
Part 1
Download and install ictinus NoPluginsToday (you may Google for it)
Make a shortcut for it and put it in the Windows\StartUp\ rename it to zzzNoPluginsToday so it becomes the last item on StartUp.
Part 2
Using a reg editor, I use Resco Explorer 2003
Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\init make a new String Value, name it Launch99 and put in the locatiuon of NoTodayPlugins.exe (for me it is: \Program Files\NoPluginsToday\NoPluginsToday.exe). Save.
Soft-Reset and you should get your BT Icon back.
note: this fix makes soft-resets longer so be patient. do this at your own risk do a backup first. remember fooling around with the registry is not a recommended but sometimes essential practice.

Hi castro,
Thanks for your reply.
But I try with the other way.
Seeing the other thread about hiding screen rotate icon, I wonder if it is also available for BTIcon.
So I check my registry under HKLM/Services/BTIcon and found that there is no ShowIcon Dword. I do not why....
Make a new Dword and give the value 1, soft reset and then....... the Bluetooth Icon showed again.
I do not know it is the correct way or not.
Could you give any suggestion ?

hey if it works then I guess it is ok for me I used the work around I described

TodayPlus on wizard?

Has anyone got TodayPlus http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=843
up an running on the wizard. It is/was the best todayscreen plugin on my old Ipaq. I can get it to run as a stand alone app. but not to integrate as a plugin.

Hmm.. I reviving this threat after 'discovering' something called 'TodayPlus'. I did a google to it and it seems to be a very powerful program. From the looks of it, it seems to have the potential to cover both PocketBreeze and PocketPlus.. and yet it seems to be not often being discussed here. It seems to be able to do everything, by scripting (feels to be like the PPC version of Samurize.com)
I'm bound to give it a go this weekend.
Those who are interested, take a look at this MASSIVE forum just for this today plugin/application.

French version http://www.todayplus.fr.tc/
You may able to download the software from the link above (post by `wizzzard`).
Note that, there are a lot of software named TodayPlus, which includes a Palm based software that tries to emulate PPC Today. So, it is rather confusing to do a google for it. Anyway, the 'head' of TodayPlus seems to be at this site
http://www.dark-mojo.com/
But it seems to be currently down.. interesting...

i got it working
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=360201#360201
but i couldn't get it to update weather, rss,radar
attaching the program

Todayplus is/was the best plugin I found. It worked perfectly on my WM2003 Ipaq2210 and works on my WM5 Wizard. It was designed for WM2003 and does not support landscape correctly. There is no support available from the author but remains for me the most adaptable today screen plugin.

Don't work for me...
I got only a blank screen. Any suggestion?
Ciao

blank screen
i have given edited dll also in that archive.
Skip the steps for editing it and you have to follow these steps
phuntum (05-27-2005) - v0.11.0
On your PPC use a file explorer that will allow you to see extensions and hidden files to find the file “todayplus.dll” in \Program Files\TodayPlus and copy it to your PC. On your PPC turn off the TodayPlus plugin (uncheck in the Settings/Today screen), soft reset, and move “todayplus.dll” from \Program Files\TodayPlus to \My Documents. On your PC use a hexeditor to open the “todayplus.dll” and search for “7D 1E A0 E3 03 08 A0 E1”; replace “7D” with “8D”; save the edited “todayplus .dll” and copy it back to \Program Files\TodayPlus on your PPC. Delete” todayplus.dll” from \My Documents and reset your PPC. On your PPC turn on the TodayPlus plugin (check in the Settings/Today screen) and soft reset.
phuntum (05-28-2005) - v0.11.0
The above fix is permanent. Save the new todayplus.dll in a safe place so that if you have to reinstall (e.g., after a hard reset) all you need do is install, disable, and replace as per above. You might want to save the instructions just in case. Free hexeditors are abundantly available. Do a web search for one. It's a great program and the effort is worth it. When you're ready, surf over to http://www.jhollin1138.com for a goldmine of help. There is a great debate as to whether the fix should be shared--somewhat hypocritical in my estimation, since those who were lucky enough to get it before it disappeared are using it.
these are the directions from ppcfreewares i followed
after doing this go to this thread http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292
and start with no 6 in instructions
good luck

I still need to reinstall this plugin after upgrading my ROM.
There are loads of diferent skins available my favourite is attached.
The Dark Mojo forum closed ages ago but discussions particularly on the "Hammerskin" skin are ongoing on http://forums.jhollin1138.com/
Hammerskin is awesome but it was too much of a resource hog last time I tried it.

Sorry for the double post

updates?
did u get weather and rss updated?

I have tried it twice on my Kjam. Used the modified dll provided. however, I can only see a white screen when trying to access the settings! :S Does anybody know what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Ok, I found it! I was missing the .net!
Very nice application with beautifull skins! Only drawback is that it does not auto refresh when you add a new apointment or task!
Apart from that its a really nice application!

Arrgghh,
Reinstalled on my Wizard after upgrading to Molski's ROM. I can get it working as a plugin rather than as a stand alone program, which previously was my stumbling block. Now I can't get the config utility to remember my location or get weather and rss feeds updated. This did work on my old ROM. I think it is just some reg settings that need creating but why it worked before and not now I do not know.

Hi Guys,
Im a newbie to this plugin but so far I understand that its able to make short cuts on the "desktop" just like a normal pc....and thats what Im looking for.
Ive followed the instructions carefully and the first time it went okay....i.e I got the slider.txt in the skin box. However I didnt find the "okay" button on the top.
Well I followed the instructions but it didnt show up on my desktop....strange so I uninstalled.
Now Ive been reading a bit further and read that the reason why it might not have workd could be the date so I decided to set back the clock 2 years and reinstall it.
2nd time around I dont get the slider.txt option, it has saved my settings from my first install....and it still doesnt work.
help help help
Well after som struggle I managed to get the slider.txt into the "Select Skin (DLL)"
But its still not working on my today screen. I can choose it as the only item on the today screen however its just blank.
Is this because I use a special black screen (tsk file) for my back ground ?
Also its seems to forget my location (Lat/Long)
Any help so that I can get it working ??
Im using a Qtek 9100 with WM 5 OS 5.1.195 Build 14847.2.0.0

Oh I'm happy again
I finally got Todayplus running properly again. Weather and RSS are updating correctly.
This is what I did.
1 install Todayplus cab
2 Disable Todayplus from Settings/Today/items
3 Soft reset. Or power cycle the phone.
4 Overwrite todayplus.dll with the modded one
5 create directory \program files\todayplus\Buffer
6 Connect to internet and verify connection with PIE, minimise
7 Run todayplus config
6 Tab to Weather/RSS add new weather cities and rss feeds
7 Tab to Time/Storage add new timezone and set storage path to \Storage Card (case sensitive and device specific for Wizard?
8 Close Todayplus config
The config utility would not save my location coordinates on the owner info tab so I manually entered the values into HKCU\Software\SRSSoft\TodayPlus\coords\1 (string value of the form 53.483,-2.053) You can get your city coords from http://www.heavens-above.com/
9 Disable all other today screen plugins and enable todayplus. Close the settings program.
On returning to the today screen after a short wait Todayplus should be working. This worked for me but there is loads of information at http://forums.jhollin1138.com/viewtopic.php?t=1292 if you need further help.

Utility to Compare Registry ?

Greetings,
I had some strange behaviour recently on my Wizard which after much analysis decided to try a hard reset. It worked like a charm and all is well now.
I had to re-install my programs and settings and I also understand that the registry gets returned to factory defaults.
This leads me to something I remember seeing for Windows XP which was a utility that compared reg keys, either using an original and current copy of the registry as a basis for comparison or a real-time utility that informed the user each time a key got changed.
I don't think the Wizard CPU could cope with the latter but a reg compare utility might be useful for future. Does anyone know of such a beast ? I did do some searching and checked the Wiki but couldn't find anything.
TIA,
Tony

I'm looking for the exact same thing. Certain apps change some settings after an install and I want to go into the registry and delete them.

Does anyone know of a good FREE app on the PC side to compare the contents of 2 txt files??
I found SPB Backup backs up the registry into a few text files (this is after you extract them from the backup).
I'm looking for something like this, but free : www.grigsoft.com/wincmp.htm

Personally, I use an XML query of he Reg CSP and then use an XML comparison tool (XML Notepad 2007) to look at whats changed.

I think you have a couple of decent options here... firstly, you could install PHM Registry Editor on the PPC, export the registry both before and after any changes you make. Then copy the exported files to the PC and check for changes using Windiff. This will tell u what has been added, changed or removed between the two files.
Alternatively, take a look at SKTracker (Google) - this app lets you take snapshots before and after, then compare (registry and file changes).
I've used both methods with success, see what you think.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanx. I have both....I will give them a try.

I know this different from the topic a bit, but I was curious if you guys knew of a free registry cleanup app.

Help

Hello
I need some help, after I cleaned the registry of my gene, i lost the setting access from the start menu, i don´t know how to get it back
Can anyone help me with this please??????????????
thanks

You don't made a backup of your registry settings? Before trying to edit registry is always recommended to do.
Unzip the attached file and import the reg file to you registry and reset. It should fix your problem. You can use Dotfred task manager or PHM registry editor to do this.

Which Landscape program is the best - Tilt 2 user

Hey folks...
I know, I know...too many random threads about the same questions...
I've searched and searched but I found a few programs that look like they do the same.
I brought an AT&T Tilt 2. I love the TF3D and I'm looking to download a quick program that allows me to use the phone in landscape or portrait when ever I feel in any menu or screen.
I've found a few choices:
Project Pulse - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=588476
Gyrator - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
Change Screen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I'm not sure which version is best or right for me...
To be honest...I dont' even know what version of Manilla I have...or what it is just yet.
I'm also looking for a way to remove a few of the standard programs AT&T added to this phone. When my phone is idle and I'm not touching it...it's operating at 70%. It's hurting the performance of the phone and I'm looking to lower the percentage.
I know you guys are probably going to screen: LOCK...but I've honesly searched a ton for answers.
Thank you much,

Manila is TouchFLO 3D aka HTC Sense aka TF3D, the thing with the flippy clock and the different tabs. If you're rockin' the AT&T default ROM, then you definitely have Manila 2.1. Project Pulse is only useful for people using Manila 2.5, since it doesn't have landscape, unlike 2.1. Project Pulse essentially is a "hacked" landscape mode for a landscape lacking Manila 2.5.
I personally use Changescreen, since it is compatible with almost any program and supports Manila. Apparently, Gyrator will work with regular programs, but won't properly rotate Manila into landscape mode. The only thing you need to remember is to remove "Manila" from the Changescreen exceptions tab, or otherwise it won't work when rotating Manila on the homescreen.
Though I haven't done any of this myself (since I'm not on the AT&T ROM anymore), there's an XDA-Wiki article (here) which details which files and registry keys should be deleted. Hope that clarifies things for you

Ahhh... I see...
So the only folks with Manilla 2.5 are those with flashed ROM's...since Manilla 2.1 is on the stock ROM?
I guess I will be downloading Changescreen and playing around with it.
I still have no idea how to remove the programs that came on the phone. I saw the link you posted...but it doesn't say how to access that screen. Do I simply plug my laptop via usb cord go through the files?
If I have to do this via computer...do I simply "delete" the files/folders?
Thanks again,

You can do it from a computer, but it's a lot easier to use File Explorer Mobile (included on your device) and navigate to the listed file locations and delete the files and folders.
For the registry entries, you can use CERegEdit (from the computer while the device is connected via USB), and there are tons of registry editors for exclusive use on the device (no computer needed). I personally use Dotfred's free multipurpose task manager for that, but there are other free options besides that, like PHM Regedit.

Thanks Dave...
I just saw that I can access all of those files with File Explorer (neat little program).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I have 1 more question now:
On the XDA/WIKI for each program there are only 2 files. Example is below:
Glu Diner Dash 2
Files
\Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 (1.5mb)
\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Games\Diner Dash 2.lnk
------------------------------------------------------------------
Am I deleting both of those files in those two locations? Or can I just go into \Program Files\Glu\Diner Dash 2 and delete the entire folder?
When I use File Explorer, I see about 6 files in that folder...not just one.
Thanks,

You'd want to delete the whole "Diner Dash 2" folder, since you don't want that program, then you'd want to browse to \Windows\Start Menu\ and delete the appropriate .lnk file associated with the program. This will pretty much remove the program from the device, and deleting the .lnk will remove it from the start menu.
