I have successfully run the registry edits here to remove the wireless manager icon and screen rotate icon at the bottom of the screen. My screen is now much bigger. Thank you.
I added the date and time to the task bar (I think that is what they call it, at the top of the screen, where "Start", Activesync status, GPRS connection, etc are displayed, right?) using a registry edit from this site. The only problem I am having is on the today screen that silly battery icon overwrites the date and time. How can I get rid of this battery icon (at the top of the screen)?
I have searched the sight for help on this topic and haven't found it. I'm certain someone will tell me I need to look harder and will paste a link to my answers. That's OK. I really did try to find the answer myself before posting for help.
I have done some looking around in the registry and tried to edit but access is denied. I was going to try to remove the key or change the DWORD value but I keep getting "access denied" I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Can anyone held either with access issues or with getting rid of the battery icon in the task bar?
Thank you.
What rom are you running? most newer roms don't have that DAMNED battery icon there anymore, I have a wizard, so I'm not sure the same is true for the universal. Everyone hates that thing, try this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=260441
I think that should help you, but do read the thread a bit since I can't guarantee anything, post back with results if you need more help.
Sweet! That solves it.
Thank you masr1979.
That solves my problem perfectly. I recently broke my left wrist and can't wear a watch. I have to rely on my Universal now and it was really bugging me that I had to add the date and time to the today screen. Due to other plug-ins I'm running it didn't work out well.
There is no way I would have found that plug-in without your help. It's a shame that there isn't a better way of organizing all these ROM upgrades, apps, and plug-ins. I think it would eliminat a lot of questions
Thanks again!
Well it would be really hard to organize since this forum has a lot of users, and sometimes we don't like to read too much most of the questions get asked over and over and over again, so all those topics in turn make it harder for people to find the information they are actually looking for unless they have a clue as to what they are looking for.
Your questions has been answered a few times before, but in all honesty even though I new the file I was looking for I still had some trouble finding the thread, I hear people complain that the search function here isn't the best in the world, so maybe there's some truth to that
Anywho, happy I could help.

Sorry don't know how to call it, but I have installed a newer schaps firmware and now I have the following tool I want to get rid of.
When I press on the right corner on the G(PRS), volume etc buttons, they are enlarged in a separate window (text balloon?). This means every time I want to access the volume or messages I have to go through 2 steps instead of 1, and I cannot change the volume of my phone just by scrolling the wheel, now the enlargement comes forward. (sorry for my bad english).
Is it possible to turn off this thing?
Thanks in advance!

Sure, you can turn it off. Just go around somewhere in Start/Setting then you will see the menu enlargement icon to turn it on or off.
Ignore the guy above - he's just a smart arsed f***wit who either doesn't know what he's talking about or just simply cannot be arsed to read your question properly.
Now, as you've no doubt already found out, his instruction was for a totally seperate thing (for his sake - YOURS CHANGES THE SIZE OF THE ICONS ON THE START MENU when what the post actually asked was how to get rid of the speech bubble that comes up when you click on an icon...idiot)
What you need to do is to fire up a registry editor (handily, there's one included) and go to HKLM\Services and find the LargeTitleBar key.
Delete it. Restart. Job done
Have a nice day
Smiffy.
With all due respect to a senior member like you, i would like to tell you that whatever vichet007 has said is true and if you disable large start menu you can get rid of the bubble. So why unnecessary flame some guy who is trying to help.
Thanks

I'd like to know what setting lyhouth is talking about. I searched in settings and could only find large and small keys settings.
Quakie
Large Start Menu (and large Title Bar)
Having seen both functionalities (larger start menu as well as large Title bar bubble) as separate entities here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533
i have concluded, that Schap's must have skillfully crafted one switch to simultaneously change the state of both settings.
This "Toggle switch" is found in:
Start -> Settings -> et voila "Large Start Menu"
While the larger style sure comes in handy for thumb use, it is a drawback of the large setting, that one cannot simply in- or decrease in call volume by simply using the scroll wheel but one has to remove the phone from the ear and set it manually via said big bubble.
Using the siple routine indicated above, one can decide for onesself, whether this feature combination caters to ones personal needs and preferences or not.
Being given the choice, along with the Advanced config tool et al. is what makes Schap's Roms so useful and great in my personal view. I must say I love them.
Cheers, Chris
we love to hear people helping other using nice post...
and i love to give free holiday to other using again harsh word...
be nice!

Sorry Mr Senior Lordsmiff for this inconvenience. I just do hope that my contribution/response can help because I used to do this when I have this issue (if I can understand this issue). Please just ignore my post if you think it's not helpful or it's wrong because I am not an expert like you, Mr Senior. I spent time responding to this (using my limited knowledge as what you mentioned) because I do believe that people in this forum are helping each other if they think they can help.
Sorry for my bad English as well.
Hey come on you guys - don't be all up tight about this. It was tongue in cheek - highlighted by my use of stars instead of actually swearing. Everyone gets flamed occasionally, including me.
Suck it up and don't be such a bunch of girls.
Oh, and xda2jojo - next time you PM me to tell me not to use an inappropriate word, make sure I've actually used an inappropriate word.
The number of times I've spoken to flar and others in an attempt to become a mod and stop the people that are actually using bad language on here to each other and i get a PM reprimanding me for using stars in a tongue-in-cheek post??? Was there not enough smiley faces for you?
I apologise to lyhuoth for my abrasive sense of humour but that's what it was.
xda2jojo can f*** off and give me a free holiday then.
Well...we are all from different location, different culture with different sense of humor.
My co-mod including flar knows everything before i sent a pm to remind others.
Try to use again inappropriate word even using star, i'm gonna give you a permanent holiday.
I *really* can't believe that you're having a go at me because I'm censoring myself and not actually swearing...unbelievable.
With the personal attacks that go on around here all the time, I'm being censured for personal restraint during a tongue in cheek post.
It's obvious to me that you don't do any modding on this forum because anyone who knows me and has seen my previous posts knows that I am sarcastic, abrasive and helpful in equal measure.
Since when did the mods around here:
A) do any actual modding
B) start wearing jack boots
Custel got a 24hour ban for far far worse and you're threatening me with a permanent ban for using stars????
Seriously, unbelievable.
xda2jojo can **** my ****

Ok guys back to topic.
See? A missed off smiley makes all the difference :-D
simply delete the registry is OK
not sure the exact location, something like
HKLM\Software\HTC\large tilte bar?
make a search on google or here, you will find the answer!
OMG? How much f***ing reading does it take to see that has been answered already...in this thread...!!
It's not like we went OT or anything and started *****ing at each other about stars and swearing?
Can you not use a scroll wheel man??
Sheesh.
Damn I am all confused, did the problem actually got solved? I can smell is some stinky arse...LOL
Apologies if this appears elsewhere but I have looked without success. If it does then a link to the solution would be great.
Basically I found this site a few weeks ago and since then have been tinkering with my phone. I've tried various roms, added different programs, played about with the settings and so on. Today I have finally got it just how I want it. It is overclocked to run quickly but safely. The today screen is perfect. It contains everything I need including my huge list of contacts. And my theme is spot-on. However usually in life when everything is right something big and hairy appears out of nowhere and dumps on you. Its got to the point where I panic every time I turn it on just in case it crashes and I need to start all over again.
My question therefore is if anyone knows of a utility (or can give detailed instructions) to completely back up the phone. Right down to the user settings, theme and contacts. If possible maybe even to create a rom image of my phone so that if it does ever crash I can reinstall the whole thing from one simple file. I assume this sort of thing must be possible because Kavana and Ricky produce such wonderful roms with various programs, etc pre-installed.
Can it be done? And if so - can it be done by an enthusiastic amateur or do you need to be a tech guru? I should add I don't mind paying if I need to buy a piece of commercial software to achieve this.

Did you even bother to search google for "smartphone backup" ? The very first link that comes up, takes you right to the software you say you need. I apologize for being harsh, but I hate the lack of common sense...
An option
Not sure about the cooked 6.1 Roms. Maybe someone else might know or have tried.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/
I use this and it's well worth it.
if u just mean the saved registry values and what not u can always export the registry so that way if u have to hard reset the phone or if a new amazingly wowlike rom is released and u NEED to flash u can always import the registry values of the chomes and it'll be the way u left it (thats what I do for my myfaves and my programs)

No problem, and you are entitled to your opinion. however its replies like that which stop people making posts to forums like this. Everyone has to start somewhere, and one man's obvious "common sense" answer is another man's dilemma.
As for using google... yep I could have done that but google links to hundreds of pages, some owned by people trying to sell software which obviously means they won't be objective. Others have methods which could damage a phone and because I don't know the writers how do I know which methods to trust? Ergo I decided to come to site I know, with people whose technical knowhow I trust, and to search the forum and then ask them for advice. To me, that is common sense. Isn't that one of the reasons that places like this exist? So non techheads can ask guys like you for help?
No offence intended and, for what its worth, you are one of the guys whose advice on this forum has helped me countless times. So thank you for that no matter what. Without your posts I'd never have got this far in the first place! I mean that.
As for the other replies... thanks guys. I will look into the registry stuff. And I will certainly check out the software link. If I do find some info on google, I hope you folks will help me pick the best method to use and avoid bad advice.
Thanks again.
GS
Okay the Sprite software is perfect. And now I've checked it out maybe my question was a stupid one. Still, its nice to have a recommendation from an independent source. I've been burnt in the past by bad google advice.
Sorry if I've wasted anyone's time.

Is there some way of removing the WinMo Start button, or perhaps using a blank icon so that it's invisible? Purely aesthetic change, as I never use it, thanks to TF3D.
Of course, the question I really want to ask is "Is there any way of integrating top & bottom WinMo bars into TF3D?", but that sounds a little involved, and, well... cheeky.
Thanks to all for much hard work with ROMs and apps on this ridiculously popular new device (I bet the forums have never been so active!).
try this thread...
I haven't tested it, but they are talking about changing the Start icon... Maybe you will find your answer there...??

wktask does it for me
Three things ive noticed since updating to the new Tilt 2 official Rom. Every time the device starts up, the "Backlight and Power" SETTINGS screen loads, as i said, every time the device starts up. Its pointless, undesired, annoying, and has done that from the start.
*(2) On the SMS tab of the new "HTC SENSE" (newer version of touchflo pretty much) whenever you get a new SMS and go over to the SMS tab, the newest message isnt ever at the top of the list (waiting for you right in front of your face) on the previous official ROM the newest SMS was always placed/focused right at top of the list for you to see instantly. Not the case with this new ROM, you have to scroll through your old messages, to the very top to read the new SMS, instead of it being right there.
*(3) Why the heck did they get rid of the task manager in the upper right corner next to the clock? Are you kidding? That was just too easy to terminate programs, and switch focus to them if youd like. They got rid of it!? Ridiculous.
Tweaks of any kind are welcome and appreciated, im sure by a few people. I am an advanced user so i would understand. If anyone else thinks of gripes with the new ROM please post here!

Thank you, i will definitely check that out. i appreciate the helpful input, instead of being told where and how to post like a lot of other people seem to like to do. I sincerely appreciate your time and efforts. Looks like a good suggestion by just checking out the screenshots.
There's already several threads going regarding this ROM in the ROM Development forum (where this belonged and has been moved to). Had you taken a moment to look you could have found them and posted your drivel in one of them instead of having yet another thread on the same subject scattered around the forums. Your Task Manager gripe is among the most well-known and easiest to fix as a cab is posted in those other threads for it. Forums have certain etiquette that members are expected to abide by and not searching and starting superfluous threads will make others call you out on it. I was not rude to you in any way.
not sure why you posted the same question.
in two different sub-forums.

Yeah, um. I don't know how to say this without sounding offensive. But the new format this page has. SUCKS! Oh yeah, I gotta ask a question. Alright, here goes. Why is it that I can enter something in the search bar here up to the right, and get NOTHING on a subject that I know for sure is here on XDA? I don't get it, and suddenly feel retarded everytime I try to use it since. It's a good thing I have a buncha bookmarks on my PC or I'd get totally lost within your search parameters. Believe me I already have more than a few times. Yeah, I'm obviously frustrated with it enough to write this little note for all you Admins, Moderators, whoever it is thats running things around here. Look, I should be able to enter something into the search bar and find it. But someone decided to change something that wasn't broke to begin with and now it's being difficult! Take this for an example. I'm researching a project I want to start. So, usually I would first start out in the search bar. Now go ahead, I dare ya! Enter this: Samsung Galaxy S Relay. That's an "exact" search parameter. Again with the no offense but, can any one of you tell me why I get directed to some page not even related? Where'd it lead me too? How to Root Any Device. Please fix your search parameters!

Try clearing your cache? A different xda theme? Or to test, try another browser?

Next to the search bar , there's a button called "search plus" , click on it and you'll have the right search bar ( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)
Okay, I'm back for a follow up, because this seems to be an obvious difficulty and I'll bet I'm not the only one that may be having issues with this. It's a navigation thing about the current format I see here on XDA. I noticed it a few weeks ago and it's not my cache. When I'm on my tablet I can navigate fine, but when I come here on my PC it's another story, and it's very frustrating. That's why you got this question before you in such a way. You guys who may understand it having set it up know how to get around. As I mentioned before it used to be fairly easy, now it's stupid not to belittle you. The problem is that it has suddenly become difficult to search for things in a normal maner. I use the search bar, which should dirrectly link me to what I am "specifically" looking for and let's put aside the search plus for the moment. If I'm searching for something that I know is there and I type in certain words that should bring me right to it, my question is, why aren't they! I'm getting redirected to some page, often of no relevance. And here's where I'll bet this is happening to others. So what's going on? There's a problem with your search bar, and I'm letting you know it's kinda frustrating. I can navigate through here with other ways, that's not a problem. I got some bookmarked, subscribed to, ect. The issue is that the search bar in itself is broken! Whatever you guys did to it, I saw it, pointing it out! Now fix it please. This might help. I noticed a difference about two weeks ago. Not sure what it is or was. I even cleared out from my PC anything that would suggestively lead to it being my PC settings. Being a good enough percentage to say it's not, it's therefore XDA.
On a side note for all you Admins and Mods. I've been coming here over 10 years now, I got questions and suggestions. But right now my suggestion is to please eliminate some obvious confusion I've noticed that affects an average user to navigate through your search areas.
Oh! Okay, there's the sudden difference!
[QUOTE( the little one you were using is to search between article from XDA Portal)[/QUOTE]
Wow. Really? Let me ask you something about what's that all about and why did this change and for what possible reason. And then why isn't there some notice the the search bar is no longer effective as it's says it is. I'll point for you guys that the search bar says QUOTE; Type device or find apps, ROMs & more. It does not say, "This is where you go to find stuff barely relevant to what you're searching for". Does it! Sorry that this may sound offending buuut. Bad words! To me, the search bar suddenly became a joke, and a bad one at that! Articles are nice but that's not what I was looking for. And in no way was I expecting to end up there.
Okay, so here's a basic question. let's put this on the table so to speak. I don't know why you put a link to articles in the search bar in such a way to begin with. It doesn't really make sense to me. Especially with your nifty new format of where everything is, except articles I'm going to guess. So you put them in the search bar with no notice of. Can you explain all that to me? Cuz right now I'm sorry to admit, I'm kinda laughing at this. I can just imagine all you went through, even deciding on how to change the old format to what I see now. It's good. However, when it comes to the search bar, whatever idea you went with. It's one that didn't notify anyone that the search bar isn't what it says it is~!
Ignoring your saltiness, why dont you use google and append each search with xda..

You seem to be angry and it's a pity. Did you try the suggestion provided by RaiZProduction in a previous post? Does the Search Plus button (see my screenshot attached) allow you to find what you are usually looking for on XDA Forum?

I'm far from angry. But check this out. This is the Q & A section is it not? So i'm askinfg a question about a difference I noticed and the A's I'm getting are a joke! Really? Hey Wood Man? You're deflecting. Step off unless you got something relevant to say. To those of you at XDA I now have a minor complaint! You people need to read what I said. I said I noticed a difference with the search bar and could someone tell me whats wrong with it. The answer I got was a confirmation that the search bar was not functional as it says it is and that's it. So. Mr Wood Man. Did I follow the suggestion you mentioned? Ahem! Are you asking to get put down blatantly or what? I made a post, RaiZProduction made a suggestion, what may I ask you is the post after that? Mine! A follow up. Before you decide to jump in there, you might wanna inform yourself better.. This here Q & A asked, "Rather than sending a PM to an individual Moderator, please feel free to ask questions in need of Moderator or Admin assistance. We will all be monitoring this thread, and someone will reply without much delay." Well, I obviously came to the right place didn't I? Everyone has a personal preference and I used the search bar a lot.
OK, I'll stop this here.
Answers were given, some with ideas, others saying all is fine for them. And also your opinion on the search is noted. However, it seems to work for everyone else, so not sure what more to say.
And honestly, your aggressive posts are getting a bit much, so I'll end this before lines get crossed. I suggest a more respectful approach in the future Sir. :good:
