How to remove watermark from today screen - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

To remove any watermark(like bikiterbi's) you will need
A Registry Editor for Windows Mobile like RegEdit
hatatp://best-regedit.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
remove both a's in hatatp as new users aren't allowed to post links outside xda
Open the registry editor and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
then find Software sub key and click on it
Locate Microsoft and click on it
Locate Shell and click on it
now you should find the keys 'Expiry' and 'Today'
clear the values of both of them(or make your own one- the tutorial is below)
If you're making your own watermark, then set the 'Today' key value to the text you want as the larger text. and the 'Expiry' key value to the text of smaller text

New to the Regedits...help please?

I figured out one reg edit...it was simple...it was the dit to stop the text message sent reminder.....
BUt now I wanted to try and put the inidcator for the caps lock and dot.....
I found the regedit, but what do I do...??? I'm lost. I'm using Mobile Registry Editor....
Thanks.
smokeyb111: what exactly do you need it to "do"?
If you've made the registry hack, just list it here for our pleasure.
What problem are you encountering exactly?
V
Well I'm just confused......
Here is what I'm told to do to get the notification symbol when I use the CAPS lock and the dot.
You need to add the following registry data:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd]
"EnableIndicator"=dword:0x00000001
What do I do EXACTLY?
I'm using a program called Mobile Registry Editor. Can I get a step by step?
Or can someone enlighten me with a website or somethin......

im not sure how it works with Mobile Registry Editor,
but if You install Resco Explorer 2005
( _ttp://www.resco.net/pocketpc/explorer/indepth.asp ) together with registry plug-in it will be pice-o-cake. Go to "Registry"-node in tree view, follow the path down the tree HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Keybd , tap-n-hold on "Keyb" -> New -> Dword -> type in desired value 0x00000001
sometimes you have to soft-reset your device for changes to take effect.
PS: Resco explorer has 60day full functiona trial period.

Registry Tweaks

I've been trying to find the WM6 tweak to rename/reallocate the bottom pair of soft keys on my home page 'Phone' and 'Contacts'. I have hard keys for both so current config is redundant.
The WM5 tweaks (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other) don't seem to be tottally relevant (I have changed my default input device which works fine) as I only have 'Htc_default.tsk' as a sub under HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today no 'Keys' option.
I've exoprted the registry (TRE editor) but can't find an equivalent 'key' value to edit.
Is it because I'm using HTChome?
Any guidance will be much appreciated.

i use the attached softkey_applet.cab, which is in this forum.
here is a site with other registry tweaks. my favorite, especially useful for the BA with this rom, is the one to minimize pressure when tapping the screen... http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/view_all_tweaks
The pocketPCtweaks reflects the info in the wiki but cheers anyway.
Thanks for CAB will give it a run and post results.
Pressure minimise has made block recognition input faster and much more accurate - A recommended tweak
This tweak works exactly the same like on WM5. You actually need to create those keys.
Hi do anyone know how to create NEW SMS soft key button, which file to link the button to??
1. save the following text to notepad:
10#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body "
emperor83"
2. in the foregoing, the filename will end in .txt (eg. New SMS.txt). rename the filename extension from .txt to .lnk (eg. New SMS.lnk)
3. copy to your ppc
4. use the softkey application to assign it (eg. New SMS.lnk) to a softkey
5. whenever you click on the said softkey, the new SMS will be activated.
* please note that you can change emperor83 with any text you want (eg. Freddie Krueger); it will be subsequently displayed in the message body

Thank you, it works!! U r great

registry location for soft key text[nevermind]

Sorry, but I can't find this out anywhere. I want to change the color of the text that my softkeys correspond to, but I can't find any documentation on where these registry values are located. Any help is appreciated. This is only for the bottom "title bar" not the top, as I've already located the top.
Thanks.
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>SOFTWARE>MICROSOFT>TODAY>KEYS
112 is the left soft key. if you want to customize the right soft key create a key called 113. Inside 113 create a new string value and title is "Default" and set the value as whatever you want to call it (ex. Messenger).
create another string value with the title as "Open" and set the value as the path to the executable file you're wanting to open.
I had seen that reg tweak somewhere before, but it didn't address the color of the soft key text. I appreciate the response, but is there another value I can create that will change the color? Or a different area? I tried using UI tweaker but I'm blind, and someone pointed it out to me. Thanks.

How do you change the soft keys??

I have looked on the following thread and it tries to explain how to change the programs that are listed on the soft keys.
http://translate.google.com/transla...icks-tweaks.html&hl=de&ie=UTF-8&sl=auto&tl=en
I can navigate to the files but don't know how to edit them.
Can someone help????
I am using PHM Registry Editor.
Also, is there a program to display emoticons in texts like this rather than the character version : )
There is an app called Touch HD Tweak. It has all the registry hacks for the HD preloaded, all you have to do is select which ones you want active.
You can also use Advance Config by Schaps; works great.
Oh yea, that too. It has a simpler GUI so its easier, I guess, for you to change things around.
I want to do it through the registry so that i can put my own programs there. i have tweak but you are restricted to a preset list.
What do you mean by "put your own programs there?" You can add any shortcut using Advance Config and name it the way you want.

I think if you add the path to where the app is you can use it and name it.

You don't need to edit the files just know what they are called and the path where they are located so you can copy that into HKLM/Software/HTC/manila/ via the registry editor. So for example to make right soft key open up the camera go to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila - then type in HomeRSKPath: \Windows\Camera.exe
then type in HomeRSK Text "Camera".
Power off and on for it to take effect - but may work without.
Hope that makes sense.
Thats what i'm saying in my original question.
I can get to the manila folder and then click values to see the files HomeRSKPath etc.(they have an 'ab' icon in PHB editor).
I can't find how to change the text and paths for the file.
If i click edit it only gives me the ability to change theusual binary numbers and name of the file
Can anyone tell me how to edit the HomeRSKPath files?

Put your stylus on the icon of HomeRSKPath and you will get a window pop up where you can insert your new app and path for it.
Sorted it, i wasn't restarting the phone so the registry wasn't getting re-written. Long day!
Metalboz,
The settings are in the registry, not in files. You need a registry editor to acces those keys and modify the value.
can anyone tell me how to put comm manager on the left softkey. thanks in advance.
This is what i did using PHM Registry Editor -
Open PHM Registry Editor
Navigate to HKLM/Software/HTC/manila
Press values
Click on HomeLSKPath
Press Enter key
-Opens up screen with the following-
------------------------------------
Vaule Name:
HomeLSKPath
Value Data:
Value Type:
REG_SZ
------------------------------------
Insert the path to the program you want run eg-
------------------------------------
Value Data:
\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe
------------------------------------
Click done
Do the same for the HomeLSKText file but put the text that you want to show on the screen in the Value Data field.
Turn phone off and back on again.
Should be sorted for you.

Extend you ProgrammLauncher menu

Last night i was playing around with the Program Launcher menu and discovered that you can extend it by simply adding some values in the registry.
The registry key to do all this is:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher
Standard the subkeys are numbered from 0 to 29.
You can extend your Launcher menu by adding a new group of 3 empty program buttons by adding 30, 31 and 32 (so new subkeys). Always add keys in groups of 3. So 33, 34 and 35 and so on. Don't know if there's a limit on this one.
A number subkey should contain the following values:
String - DispName
String - IconPath
DWORD - IsReadOnly, dec value 0
String - Path
You can leave the string values open because they are automatically filled in when you add a new shortcut.
Don't forget to adjust the following value also. It's in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/HTC/Manilla/ProgramLauncher/totalItemCount (dword, dec value), change to the max number op empty program places. I tried with 50.
You can now disable TF3D and re-enable it again to see the new empty program buttons or you can simply soft reset your device (reboot windows mobile).
This should work perfectly. But some problem I'm having is, after having installed the cabfile with which you can wipe the first 4 (unremovable) program shortcuts, I'm not able to add any program shortcuts anymore. Well i can select a program which i like in the program launcher as a shortcut, but the shortcut is not added to the launcher menu. I uninstalled the cabfile, and rebooted windows mobile, but the problem isn't solved with that. Some one know a solution to this?

Great tip!
I have the same problem that the shortcuts are not added though...
What does work is to add the path and name manually...
To easily create more keys you can also export 1 key and edit the key name in notepad (increase the number by 1) and import the key again.
I think you need to edit some more keys.
Could it be you need to add the program path as a string value in the root of ProgramLauncher as well?
At least I increased the totalItemcount to 32.
of course you can add the shortcuts manually through the registry, but that's not quite the solution. Are there more people having this problem?
Yeah I have the same problem, I get empty boxes to add more programs but can't seem to make the button register a program unless done manually via registry.
Great find though, Thanks
i use mine own cabfile, works great, to find it goto xperia rom forum, and one of the sticky post is called FTP, by mostberg, goto mostbergs ftp and goto rom, touch x, addons, there you will finjd the cabs needed for top icons, not home atm, so cant post the cab right now sorry, but goto ftp there it is...
