Hi all,
This is my first time posting. I've been trying to get custom taskbars working on my CDMA TP2 (with wm 6.5) and always seem to run into the same problem. When I install a custom taskbar everything works except for the signal bars... instead it just shows a "missing sim card" icon. If I uninstall the taskbar, signal bars work fine again. I've attached a pic to show what it's doing.
I've searched various threads and other forums also with no luck on a solution. I have a feeling it has something to do with phcanOverbmp.dll. If I only replace that file with the one from the custom taskbar and then modify the registry for the battery icons, it has the same effect, but with the new battery icon working. Does anyone have an idea what might be causing this? Thanks for the help!

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.

I personal use this cab for the top bar. May be what your looking for
It would help to see what you are trying to recover.
But, here is a possible suggestion that might fit: FInixNOverBattery http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ght=finixnover
Thanks for the response guys,
will try and post some pics up when i get home from work. Not feasible for me to do so just now.
In particular what i am after are the topbar icons relating to volume, signal strentgh, battery level, multiple notifcation icon, headphones connected icon etc.
Need the manila files for those specific icons ideally. I suppose i could be cheeky and approach pzucchel directly to see if he could give me the info.

Hi Guys I like to Change the Icons and I like to change the Original WM icons for some custom made can some one point me to the correct steps.
Thanks
Does anyone know how to remove the small 4 segment battery icon from the lower tray in the today screen. I don't really see the point in it existing with the one in the upper taskbar being there already.
I've already checked for running tasks, as well as startup programs for a program which may be creating the icon, but I can't seem to find anything suspicious. I think it must be part of a hidden process which I can't seem to find.
I have searched the SEX1 forums extensively and not founf anything relating to the icon in question. I can try and take screenshots if anyone is unsure about the specific icon I am talking about.
For reference, i'm currently using Norti's excellent "nX1i v1.04" rom.
Thanks in advance for any responses/solutions you may have.
It is there so that if you have the clock displayed at all times in the title bar, there still is a battery indicator (By displaying the clock in titlebar you lose the battery icon). Anyway here's how to remove it: Get yourself a registry editor and set HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power\ShowIcondword to 0. Then Softreset. The icon will be gone IF it's this one. Of course it is possible that on your ROM there is another software installed which produces the icon, but I don't guess that.

Yay, finally gone!
Thanks for that, it's always the simple things you forget to do, like searching the registry. Now that i've got the panels button mapped to the start menu too, this may well be my favourite device yet. I think I may like it even more than my HTC Diamond...
Over the past few days I have been searching for a cab which will allow the top bar icons to be replaced with nicer well polished options.
I have also been looking for a cab that indicates the battery life as a long horizontal multicolor line at the absolute top of the top bar.
Please see the attached photo for a better explanation.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Rudy.
For the icons, there's actually many different ones to choose from, you'll want to search for "taskbar icon sets". Several of the most common ones include:
-brian's gfreek edition
-dafunk's B&W and NGTV taskbars
-dinik's anastasia
Those and many others will work on the HD2 even though they might have been designed for and work with other phones. The thread for any icon set you find should clearly label what WM builds exactly they work with.
I know the "long line" battery indicator is floating around the forums here, but I don't know the name of it off the top of my head...I'm sure someone here can point you to it.

Thank you for the direction on where to make the task bar even better. I found several options here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=639002 and selected this option: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=602295
The Vista Hide battery gauge is an exe file, I always thought that .cab was the only install vehicle.
Learning every day,
Rudy.
I have tried many different task bars and none of them worked...except diniks recently worked for me. I use this http://battlinesvc.codeplex.com/releases/view/41597 plus diniks and it works great. and you can choose any colors you want...to make them fit your theme...different color for charging off the charger and low batt.

thats what i thought as well.. i didnt really pay attention when I first installed this until i actually clicked on it and realized it was an exe file. works though =) ... i dont use it unless i flash a rom that initially doesn't show the battery, instead, showing the clock.

How about you do some research first before ask? This question is answered so many times on so many sites including this one too.

I was trying find, but find nothing on google.
All the day I'm seeing in google something like "how i can change the status bar icons windows mobile smartphone" and it gives nothing at all. =|
You mean the icons which indicates Network signal, battery, edge/3g, start icon, etc?
If so, those are taskbar icons, you search for taskbar icons for WM 6.1.
