Hello,
I'm going to use my old Himalaya as an embeded GPS in my car, so I would like to customize the today screen so it displays nothing but my TomTom icon.
But I don't know how to do so.
The ideal result would be to remove both up and down trays and only have a TomTom and a File Explorer Icon.
Do you have any idea to do it?
Thanks for your help!
If you use wm6 you can go into settings -> personal -> today, and uncheck all but date (impossible to uncheck)

Hi, I'm going to be setting some of these phone up for business, and have decided that we don't want the users to have access to the bluetooth functionality. I would like a way of removing/Hiding bluetooth (or at least the icons for it) so the users cannot easily re-enable it.
Anyone know how this could be done?
Thanks
Hi,
Hope your customers wont visit this forum
Ok, open your registry editor and delete the following branches:
1. A 'BT hardware not found' message will be shown at each attempt to enable Bluetooth
DELETE:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth]
2. BT icon removal
DELETE:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTIcon]
3. BT shortcuts (optional)
Add int-type (number) value "Hide" with "1" as its data value to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ControlPanel\Bluetooth]
and create "HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCpl\Bluetooth Settings" key & add int-type value "Enable" with "0" as its data
Thanks for that SP, i've got some of it working: I've tried all three things you listed
I have removed the 'tray icon' from the front screen at the bottom, and also removed the icon from settings->connections.
However I still seem to have the 'Blue tooth headset mode' icon on the front screen and the Bluetooth Settings Icon in settings->system. Any ideas on how to remove these?
Thanks for any help
all items in settings are cpl files in the windows dir
see if you can delete the cpl file which is named something like bluetooth
about the today item then there is also a place in the reg's where they are handled as in which ones are display'd on the list you can check or uncheck
but why remove bluetooth ?
it's not like they cant just install it themselfs
unless you mess with the extented rom they will get their bluetooth back after next hardreset
education may be cheaper than trying to turn the bluetooth off.
Faking users...

Try this utility. It does aforementioned PLUS disables headset mode on Today screen
To prevent BT enabling over hard-resets replace your original TPEnable.exe with this one. Don't forget to unlock your extended ROM first
ps: 'BT Settings' shortcut is a HTC-specific one and can't be removed easily
What danger do they pose by having Bluetooth? :roll:
BlueJacking?
if they are mobile,some may need it for headsets???
Thanks SP! that works really, well, and with BT disabled, I can live with the one icon left in system. I'm not going to alter the extended rom, as the only people who should be doing the hard resets are the tech support team.
Do you have the registry entries for removing the bluetooth headset item from the today screen?
Today removal

You're welcome!
Here it is:
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\Profile]
And leave this one:
[HKLM\ControlPanel\MyCpl\Bluetooth Settings:Enable] = 0
Maybe HTC will revise their code & fix the bug in the future, so the following will work then and will disable 'BT Settings'
When you go into the "Change Preferences" menu in TomTom and change one of the settings which can be turned on/off i.e. say 3d map, show/hide POI - TomTom takes you back to the main screen.
This is REALLY frustrating since if you want to make several changes you have to go through the whole process of:
1. Tap screen to get into Main Menu
2. Tap on "Change Preferences"
3. Tap to change relevant option
... for every single setting you want to change.
I have an O2 XDA EXEC and have seen this behaviour on both Version 5.0 and 5.21. I dont remember seeing this when I was running TomTom on my XDAIIi.
Anyone else noticed this? Is there a fix?
It's how TomTom v.5 works!
TomTom Navigator v.5 is just a half-hearted *bodge* on the code for their standalone TomTom Go products to get it to run on PocketPCs.
Due to long trying and experimenting with my bt gps i lost my shortcut of TT 5 on my today page. Is there anyone who can tell me how to put it back on, beaucouse when i want to start tt5 it's almost impossible to navigate the start menu with my fingertips.
I've allready tried to fix the problem with "settings/today/items", but Tomtom wasn't in the list anymore.
TT 5 starts perfectly from my startmenu, but i want my shortcut back.
Is there anyway who can tell me to solve this :?:
I've got a vario, and am currently running tomtom Nav5.21 on my ipaq, once i get hold of a bluetooth antenna, tomtom will be going on the vario.
This is not an uncommon problem with tomtom. There are however 2 ways arround your problem.
First way is to download the v5.21 patch from the tomtom website and re-install the .cab file, this will mean that tomtom is brought back to its origional settings. And the shortcut will re-appear on the screen.
If you have in any way customised the settings, you may have to set them up again (for example if you are familiar with tomtom, you'll have to turn off the guided tour stuff.) However things like any stored favorites or POI's will be unaffected by doing this, and will show up just like they did before.
The otherway is to go into start > settings > Personal > Buttons. From there you can re-assign one of the buttons to always start up tomtom, or indeed any application you want.
For example on my vario, button 5 is the Comm manager that allows me to turn on and off the wifi / bluetooth. As there is already a little icon at the bottom of the today screen that opens the comm manager I'll be reassigning the button to start TomTom.
In the TTN 5.1 update package are (if i remember correct) 3 cab files. One is just the Today plugin, you can tell it by its name
From TTN 5.21 onwards the plugin is IN the main cab, so you cant use this trick with that one.
the Todayplugin is the same for both versions
Alternatively you can use the HTCTODAY plugin i have modified (in 3 flavours) search on the forum.
Code:
use the HTCTODAY plugin
Searched for that, and this is the only post found.
Hello everybody!
This is the first thread I open myself, and i'm kind of excited!
Okay, as you can see on the attached image,
on my today-screen, there is some kind of bar that indicates some kind of statuses.
How can I remove this?
It's my TyTN with the original HTC WM6 (due to the lack of a german 6.1..).
Any ideas?
// Sorry for the *.gif's quality, but I'm not used to match the filesize!
I believe you must remove the icons one by one and then the bar will disappear when they are all gone.
From the left:
1) Looks like MyMobiler. Tap that icon and there should be a way to turn off that icon
2) The Activesync connected icon. Go into Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check use advanced functionality and it should go away.
3 and 4) Battery and CommManager icons. Use Schap's advanced config to get rid of those.
this is called "Tray" search for remove Tray or something.
here is an app that will hide those Icons, a simple search of xda took me here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=248968
If this one won't work for you, there are more to choose from, just search "Hide Tray" or "Remove Tray"
Okay,
thanks!
Battery and CommManager have gone away!
But as I'm using WinXP, the advanced netwok features do not work for me!
Try searching now..
I'm sorry, but i thought the upper bar was called the tray; so i didn't try searching for tray.!
Hello,
I am looking for an app to toggle my gps on/off. Can anyone help me with this?
I have the issue that when I have my phone in flight modus and am out of the country both GSM and GPS are disabled. I would like the GSM to be disabled in favor of GPS to be enabled. I wan't this option for my Tom Tom navigation when out of the country,so it does not get interrupted by phone calls or smsses.
Kind regards

Im also looking for a simple on/off toggle button for the gps.
Since you can have that in android i figure it should exist something similar created for wm.
I have only found wm homescreen plugins so far but since thats no use when you running manila or CHT it not even worth downloading.
Looks like ill have to keep searching....

You're right.
I'll test it under pure WM and check the registry while toggling on opr off : maybe I'll be able to detect what keys to change to get the same results directly, and possibly make a CHT widget.
Edit :
Found this one here :
http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Samsung_i600
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\GPS Intermediate Driver]
"IsEnabled"=DWORD:00000001
-> change to 0 to toggle off ?
I'll check if it works... And if it actually saves battery life.
A Possible Work Around
I could not get the app from the link above to work on my HD2. It said it installed successfully, but I could find no exe or shortcut for it anywhere on my HD2. I searched a couple of app forums here and found nothing else.
Here is a possible solution although it is not a one-click solution like most toggles. It is based on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=645916
Using a text editor, paste this into a new file:
30#ctlpnl.exe AGPSSettingsCPL.cpl - location services settings
Save the file with the name such as GPS Toggle.lnk (that's a small "L" in lnk).
Copy the shortcut file to the Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder. From there you can access it using the Start button/menu. Also, depending on the UI, you may be able to create a button on your main screen. I have Co0kie's Home Tab which provides the ability to create buttons on the home screen. (Co0kie's Home Tab has a number of toggle switches, but not one for GPS.)
This shortcut will bring up the Location screen from Settings. This may or may not be what you want. To be honest, I could not find a place that says "turn on/off GPS."
AGPS only allows to use available data network to update the satellites positions database in order to speed up satellites location.
It should have nothing to do with having the GPS receiver actually turned on or off...
In fact, it's turned off on my HD2, and I'm still able to use the GPS.
I'm currently trying to evaluate the effect the above registry value change has on battery lifetime...
Edit :
OK, at least your post put me on a track :
The registry tweak actually switches on or off the "Automatic GPS management" checkbox in the "Access" panel from the "External GPS" applet in WM "System" settings.
You can still use a shortcut as the one you posted, but it should contain 25#ctlpnl.exe cplmain.cpl,25,2 instead (GPS settings - Access).
Now the registry trick has strictly the same effect, and can be made out of a simple MortScript - then a CHT switch, too.
The only problem is I couldn't notice a better battery consumption, actually...
