Does anyone know where I can download and install the standard O2 apps that are installed as part of the WM5 customization after a hard reset?
I've just upgraded my Orbit to WM6 and am missing these as they were really useful. I'm not intrested in other apps as I know these O2 ones worked fine and didn't drain the battery etc etc.
The 3 I'm after are,
1) Running Apps for the Today screen
2) Battery Meter
3) Memory usage Meter
4) O2 task manager shortcut Icon
Thanks.
These will be the ones I'm after, all shown on this review just before half way down the page in the screen shots.

Meters allows you to show up to three level meters for Battery, Memory, and Storage card. Each meter can be tapped on to show; a plain bar, the bar with percentage, or bar with Mb free.
Running Apps displays a simple line of icons indicating which programs are currently running in the background, tapping the icon switches to that program.
Shortcuts allows for up to five shortcuts to be configured for launching, tapping on the icon launches the program.
Task Manager - this is activated via the 'O2 bubble' which resides in the bottom bar of the today screen. A single tap on it brings up a brushed metal pop-up which displays the running applications and an options menu. The 'X' next to the listed applications allows each application to be terminated manually when required. Options allows you to select which O2 Custom Today applets are usable on the Today screen, as well as allowing you to define the shortcuts for the Shortcut applet.
They are all in the 'Items' menu of the 'Today' setup in preferences. You need to turn on Meters, Profiles and Shortcuts.
Thanks for the reply and they woudl be if I was still running my O2 ROM and it had run the customization to install them after a hard reset but I've upgraded to BEBE's WM6 ROM which doesn't have any of the O2 utils loaded.
Anyone else on where I can get these? Would anyone with an O2 Orbit ROM be able to pull the customization CAB install files out of their ROM somehow for me?
I just sent you a PM. I can email them to you.

Can you upload these files somewhere?
I just checked the ftp site and they are already there...

Big thanks to Mark for that and the email. All loaded on and the meters runnings apps and O2 bubble task manager are all there and I'm almost back to where I was on WM5..
However SPB Time fails to wake up the phone from a screen saver locked state with sound, sure it'll flash up the screen with snooze or dismiss red and green buttons but no sound errm kinda makes it useless as an Alarm Clock and as I'm sure all the rest of you out there do I really rely on my phone as an Alarm.. I've been late 2 days in a row now because of this, no joke so.. errm kinda critical for me to get fixed..
Any ideas people. I've even un installed the paid for version I had and installed the latest version (trial) from their site

Hello,
At the risk of sounding stupid, I've just downloaded the zip file for the extended roms. I've unzipped it and gathered from the config file that I should place the cab files in specific locations... My question is, is there a (semi)automatic way of installing it? If not, should I follow the paths found in the config file? Also, there are a few files missing, ie the bmp files, do I need them? Lastly, what about the config.txt the file... where is that to be placed?
Sorry for the barrage of questions Noob here, just want to make sure I understand this the right way!
Thanks for all the help!

PS. 1st post, great site btw!!
Does anyone know how to remove the systray from the bottom of the screen?
I got the comm & battery icon removed but would like to remove the rest of the systray.
thanks
AFAIK, there is no way to actually remove the systray other than removing all the icons on it. So, if you have a program which is hard-coded to show an icon on the systray, then you might be SOL.
If I am wrong, and there is in fact a way to remove it, please someone tell me.
I already had all the icon remove from the systray, I a hoping to get rid of the systray all together so more desktop space are available for additional program icon.
hi guys,
I was wondering if someone could help. I have done a lot of searching but unable to find an answer. I am using the GXFX's rom which I am very pleased with. I also tried to install sushi's touchflo 3d config.cab file on top of this but get errors referring to 'exception errors', so I removed it. What I would like to do is
a. customise the home screen to add new icons. At the moment I have the large clock, call history and calendar. Is tehre any way of adding more icons or changing this screen without losing existing functionality and stability ?
b. How can i put an icon that open a web page to a certain url address, is this possible. I am thinking of terms of say windows XP. Maybe I am asking too much.
many thanks for your help.
can anyone help please ?
Hi guys, I tried to search the forum for anyone having the problem that I am... I've recently installed X-Pro PPC edition for VoiP calls on my X1 and when I start the program, the program is aligned with the top of the screen with some of it behind the taskbar... could anyone kindly help me with this issue. I cannot see the number that's been dialled or is calling me, as it's hidden behind the task bar...
Thanks all!
Hi Guys,
After living with Manilla ever since I got my TouchPro2 (I hate HTC Sense), I decided today to go back to the original Today Screen style, with 'Pocket Digital Clock' and 'Easy Today Launcher' doing the honours as useful plugins.
What I can't seem to find (and judging by a search in these forums and the internet nor can anyone else) is a simple one line plugin that displays Unread SMS/Emails and Missed Calls Counts, either as nice little icons, or just text.
I don't want to switch to HTC Home Plugin as that's too heavy for what I need.
I had a quick look at the MSDN samples and I'm sure I could have a crack at it, but it'd take me hours to even get a rough version working.... So, does anyone have a plugin that does what I need easily, or (long shot) does anyone fancy knocking one up for me?
Thanks in advance,
-Jar.
