Im looking to change the battery icon with a percentage one as in the very first post by FInixNOver . Everytime I try and install one of these, the percentage is scrambled and not readable.
Its obviously because of the QVGA screen, but the HTC Jade, also with a QVGA screen, flashed with the Megade 1.7.3 ROM has a working % above the icon, so it can be done, I just don't know how
Are there any registry settings to sort it out, or a working cab?
Can anyone help? Thanks.
try HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1
I can recommend you BattClock programm...fully customizable etc etc....use myself.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=612083
I attached latest version.....

I am new to this forum and it is brilliant. Thanks for all your help.
I have upgraded the ROM on my phone but I do not have the battery meter on the today screen showing the charge percentage.
Please can you tell me if there is any hack to the registry or free utility that I can use
Hi you dont say the rom you upgraded too. I assume its one of the aku2 roms. The battery should be on the task bar as standard, if its not have you used registry wizard that sometimes hides it?- if you want a better battery meter use batti - places a thin line at top of screen. Find attached
Thanks for that I have Rom 2.21.4.1WWE.
It shows the battery indicator at the top of the screen but before I flashed it I had the battery meter halfway down the today screen showing the percentage charge that the battery had
Oh yes that must of been a today screen plugin , (prob lost when you flashed? o2 plugin i think maybe someone could post it ) there are free ones available showing % see at www.pocketpcfreewares.com. Still prefer batti though, you loose no screen space
Thank you, your help is very much appreciated.
It looks like there are a few good ones to try on this website.
Thanks again

Could someone post this plugin?
Or does anyone know of a 3rd party plugin that is as simple as the original O2 plugin? All I want is the battery meter and I find the one above too small!
i used to use batmemtime on my axim
you can show as much or as little info as you like as like you i only wanted a battery bar.

In the official WM5 ROM from I-Mate the battery icon is shown on the title bar and clock is hidden beneath it. Is there a way to bring it down to systray and make the clock visible? Please help.
download Batti v2.1 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batti.shtml and install it on your universal. In the settings for the app, uncheck "Show Battery Icon in Top Bar". That will display the clock in the top bar!
download Battery Watch v1.03 from http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/batterywatch.shtml and install it on your universal to get the battery icon on your systray!
They're both freeware, so, enjoy!!
I found the answer to the part of my question at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Registry about adding battery icon to systray and I would like similar procedure for its removal from title bar. Thanks for your help I will be certainly using your addon untill I get my desired answer. Thanks a lot once again.
I would recommend having Batti as a must-have application if you like battery stats! The rest is up to you of course, i always prefer moderate-functionality apps to messing with the registry myself! They're small, easier to handle, removable and just provide more functionality that reg-editting!!
I used Batti but it didn't removed battery icon. What happens is that when app installs it is already configured not to show battery icon but the icon shows so I enabled it just to give a try and as a result two icons were shown then I unchecked it and only the new icon went away. The original icon remained there. Registery hack is a must!!!
weird, now i'm wondering how i got rid of the battery icon I'll let you know if i figure that out
That's really very nice !!!!! Figure it out soon please !
Still awaiting response. Please somebody help me soon.
Hello, i search urgently a tool to the white icons (battery speaker Bluetooth, etc.).
Touch HD says "top bar".
Touch 3 g does this but unfortunately not.
Someone has a solution?!
Sorry for my bad english ...
What exactly you want to do with it. There are many threads discussing the subject, depending on the specific areas, e.g. changing battery icon, missing icons, etc.
Hello azahidi,
There is the possibility touch Diamond & HD in the upper taskbar icons with colored icons (battery, Bluetooth, receive display) to change.
I search a way this also touch 3 g to change.
Because it only a resolution of 320 x 240, the tools of diamond & HD sorry.
I don't understand you very well... You want the Diamond/HD icons in your 3G?

Actually the taskbar icons is not dependant on the set brand or model, it's dependant on the screen size (vga, qvga, sqvga, etc.) and windows version. As Jade (Touch3G) is using qvga, there are many threads doing this already, example below, and a few more if you search through.

I had similar problem when first installing it. It's the method of installation, something missing. If you follow the thread carefully, there is an explanation of how to overcome.
Top TaskBar
In these days I am about to replace my Start top taskbar with one of the products made by tsowen, and CraZyLiLbOy.
My preference is to make use of a cab file which will be easy and sure.. But need to make sure if it is enuf and suitable qvga, GSM....
I have already asked there and try to find out the correct response for below;
"Probably I missed, I want to be sure that their the last taskbar skins are suitable for GSM and QVGA too ??
Is this cab file installation enuf or still do we need to install some other files such as sdkcerts.cab and more ??."

Sdkcerts.cab is required. Run sdkcerts.cab just once. then the downloaded cabs should install everything. (however please read specific instructions by the skin creator, if any)
Hello everyone!
Im searching a color taskbar for my Iolite. I've found this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512971
where there is a lot of them, but any is for QVGA resolution.
Does someone try to install a color taskbar of this thread or another? What?
Thanks in advance!
Did you try? If yes, let us know about your experiences.
I dont try it. Im searching someone who made it before cause i dont want crash my Iolite ...
Do you know some emulator for PC of Iolite?
Regards!
After 3 days searching QVGA taskbar for WM 6.1 (in a CAB) for my Iolite, I give up. Then I tried to install various VGA. This is my experience:
- The Start Icon never changed. Why? I dont know.
- The Signal Icon never changed. Allways appear in white (like the original version). Only changes when I start a data session (because de icon is diferente for wait mode).
- All Icons appear "pixeled", for the resolution, of course.
- In one test, the sound icon allways appear like the sound is ON, never change to vibrate. (Sorry, but I dont remember the version)
Conclusion: after test them, this is my prefered:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522080
The changes in QVGA resolution are the best, but not the optimal.
Despite all this, if anyone have a good version tested in Iolite, please post it.
Thanks in advance!!!

Hello.
Do you know how can i change standard battery icon in my touch 2?? I would like an icon on %, just like had my diamond.
Is it possible??
Maybe is possible to change all icons??
I use this one

simple and nice, its only battery icon, if you will change all icon, search this forum...

Hello.
I use battery icon from your post czdjj. Everything was ok, pin pad on startup too
When i wanted to change all taskbar icons i was searched a forum and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=522080
Installed first sdkcert.cab
Second installed Varient 1 v2 ~ Touch2 ~ Download and when i restarted the phone my pin pad looked:
http://serwer000.no-ip.org/wojtek/pinpad.bmp
When i installed Varient 1 v2 ~ Touch2 (BlackStone PinPad) ~ Download keyboard remains the same as the link at the top...
What should i do want my pin pad was like at the beginning??
Why does not operate normally when the taskbar icons are for Touch 2??
ps. sorry for my english
I'm using the taskbar from this topic.
You can download it from here , then go to /Arthemus QVGA TaskBar /Build 23028 or Newer/Arthemus TaskBar QVGA V5_HTC.cab file.
I think it's for another resolution (VGA or WVGA), not for Touch2 (QVGA) - Icons are same just a little bigger.
Go to menu - remove programs and uninstall it, then it will be OK and search iconpack for QVGA, f.e. in HTC Elf (Touch) section
Don't worry, my EN it's terrible too

Hello! As I see, you work with battery icon very well!
Maybe you know how I can totally hide the battery icon from the WM taskbar for freeing space? I use another battery charge indicator.
All methods that I find for WM5&6 don't work on WM 6.5.3+. Please tell me what I can try more for hide it.

What you could use is Battclock (any version) to put something else than battery indicator on that place like cpu/memory/date/free ram/temp etc.....or you can make it totally black with battclock (it's there but not visible) or perhaps install a custom taskbar without battery when you can find (did not search).
Succes

I need hide it for move other left icons to right and free more space. I very astonish that MS remove this feature from WM 6.5 because I use it in WM 6.0 and earlier.

Thank's! I'll try to find something else that create a custom taskbar. Now I use IndiBar that adds open programs icons and battery icon 'eat' space for eat
