today screen question

ok well i have a question what do u guys like to c on your today screen? and how can i put a shortcut to phone on my today screen or on taskbar? i cant find the path for it to put on my taskbar thx in advanced!
:edit: ohh and how can u close out programs when u hit the "x" or "ok" button? cause i know that only minimizes i have a taskmanager but thats a hassel to open & close open & close lol once again i appricate the help!

like this?
If so Phm traylaunch works best!

What is that notes plug-in? Thanks.

notes today plugin avail at handango or pocket gear . Oh by the way as for a great program that closes shoose transcreative majic button. It works very well Have a great night kinmont

how can i put the phone.exe on my today menu or taskbar?

I would say, you don't really need a phone shortcut onto the today screen. Just press the green "dial" button and that brings up the phone application no matter what screen you're in and press the red button if you want to return to whatever screen you were at before. However, I do recommend the free picture dialer plug in floating around here in xda. It works wonders right from the today screen, one touch dialing

could u post where to get that picture dialer thing? i cant find it lol

DavidT,
is that screenshort from your Universal? I have loaded the photo dialler app to my today screen and the pictures are far too small to be useful. Read a post which said it wasn't VGA aware, although they look fine on your screenshot.
TIA

Full (non transparent) background.. is this possible?

I have a custom background image on my windows mobile 6 and it comes in slightly transparent. Its like WM6 lightened it up or something automatically. Is there an option where I can turn this off to make the image show up in its original full color?
Thanks in advance.

Quickest way to do that, in my experience, is to open the image you want in the picture viewer and then select "set as background" (or something like that) from the menu. This gives you the option to set the transparency. If at 0% it will show the full image.
For some strange reason WM always sets the background to half transparent when you use the today screen setup to select a background, making it look very milky and mostly ugly. Don't really know why you can't change the transparency from there.
You could also make your own theme but that might be a little overkill for just a background.

Got it! Thanks!

Ok, Got a quick questions here figured i wouldnt post a new thread, i figured out how to set as background but theres no option to apply, if you hit OK in the top right it nevers sets it as the background, any ideas??
Thanks!

If you view the pic with picture viewer then right softkey for menu, there is a set as background option.

I seen that but when you hit that button it opens you can set the transparency, But then if you Hit OK in the top right corner it does absolutely nothing to change the background..... any ideas

Ive never had that problem. After setting the transperency it always sets it as the background. I would say its file type problem. Are you using a gif or jpeg?

jpeg i can post a screen shot if need be

Instead of hitting the ok in the top right corner, hit ok on the key that says ok underneath the right soft key.
Let me know if that works.

hey Whataya Know it worked haha, Thanks!!!!!!!! I really appreciate it, I shoulda thought of that lol

Wow......never thought someone would mix those up. GOOD CALL. The ok on the top of the screen is basically a X. Always use the menu keys at the bottom.

i figured that but instead of it having a X in the top right this time it was just an ok so i figured it was the apply button but haha i guess not

Problem on rotate my HD

normally, when we open the opera and rotate the HD to horizontal, the screen also will rotate, but i facing a problem with it now. once i rotate it, it will bring me back to the home screen, i tried many times, but it still can't rotate and bring me back to the home screen.
but, this problem can be solved after i do the softreset. after softreset, the problem will come back again after few days.i still can't figure out whether is my installed application crash or what.
anyone can help?

nobody know? please help...thanks in advance

It is most likely that you installed a color top bar and you installed the wrong one (some play nice, while some don't). If that's the case, just go grab a different color top bar (almost all the new ones are fine, it was really only a problem with some of the early ones)

it is all right, dude.
actually, mine colour topbar is downloaded from here also.
or maybe you just tell me the name of your topbar, i believe you can see the top bar name from the Remove Program there. Million thanks..

What is this thing please !?

Hi all,
I have a Dot or a small Square on the top left of my screen !
What is it ? and how can I get rid of it ?
There was no program running in the task manager when I took the screenshot, see it in the attachment.

Soft reset get rid of it?

I have it too on Itje´s 6.5, i think it comes from the new panel manager.

I'm using Itje´s 4.5 rom, but I think I had it also in the original R2A UK rom.

I suspect it has got something to do with Finger Keyboard 2. I have the square too but only in landscape mode. See if you can get rid of the square by changing the SIP to some other keyboard.

I see you're using Gtrab's taskbar, perhaps that has something to do with it?

Volume down.
But this test mode is broken not sure what is useful for.

I extracted smali from Contacts.apk and found code *#2846# (dial in stock dialer)
This Service Test Mode has ~20 different tests.
Volume Down - start tests or go forward
Volume Up - go back to previous test
Power - interrupt test
Home - click twice to exit from Service Test Mode
p.s. Warning: First test in row is LOUD !
