Is there a reg edit to remove icons in the bottom tray? I have battery status and added ones I want, but I would like to remove the T-Mobile link. Help...

PS.. you're in the wrong forum.
Found the answer:
"There is an entry in the registry, similar to the Run entry in a windows desktop, called Init. In there, there is an entry that runs a file called TrayAp.exe. I backed up the registry, removed this entry, and soft reset the device. Once it came back up, the tray was clear!!!"
PS - The Wing is a Herald and this is WM6 question. Seems to work for me.
PPS - Why are you here since you do not list the correct phone - lost? Man, people can be rude in forums.

This is not a WM6 question, is a registry tweak. Answer could be found in the WIKI and post should have been in the general Hermes forum.
You have a Harold...Not a Hermes. Should post in one of these for better help with your phone model. Glad you got the fix you wanted.

After some tricks at another thread, succeded to unlock Extended ROM.
However, can't find there the usuall 'Config.txt'. Is it normal? Any clue?
the wm5 extended rom's do not seem to use a config.txt file. They use the autorun and setup files. If you add something to the extended rom, put Default_ infront of the file name.
But the process I prefer; is to use an old autorun and config.txt file. I think you can find an example in the forum of BTT's extended rom under a thread called my extended rom. Or look on the xda ftp site.
The old way still works great. I also use the config.txt to copy some sounds and files to the windows directory from my sdcard during reset.
But back to the title of your thread:
I am finding that the new rom is faster and more stable. Radio 1.09.00 seems better. IE and gprs seems a lot faster. Of course, I only kept 4 of the files from the Extended rom. Lots of the cabs in the extended rom add bloat and/or remove/modify settings that I did not want. Push email seems to work, not sure I like the new comm manager. Really don''t like that I can not start the comm manager from keyboard after the rom upgrade. But overall its an improvement.
I wonder how different the official release from I-mate will be from this test version?
Please help I am always getting CONNECTION ERROR
The Update software starts fine, nonetheless after the screen where it shows the CURRENT and FUTURE ROM version, it is stuck
At least Extended ROM 1.13.151 WWE from Qtek9000, still uses Config.txt method.
Just Autorun.exe (fileversion 4.15.0.0) is present, and it seems equivalent to the Setup.exe (fileversion 4.16.0.0) on the new i-mate Rom. The Autorun.exe is much smaller and from a different origin.
Maybe this difference relates to, how Qtek and i-mate aproach the subject.
Another topic are my fellings/experiences with this new i-mate ROM, that I'd like to share with you guys.
ROM Version: 1.30.68 WWE
Errors or Lack of implementation
Still not possible to rotate Camera (landscape / portrait).
Universal backlight button still without effect.
Battery indicator replaced the clock on title bar. It is possible to re-activate the clock at settings (Clock & Alarms) to display in all programs, but however it does not work when at Today screen. :-(
Device Lock plugin is a nice feature, however the ability to make a few settings would be very welcomed. For instance 'Lock/Do no lock' buttons.
Despite it is possible to answer a call from BT headset, when device is locked, it is frustrating not being possible to initiate a call from BT headset ('Voice Speed Dial' not called). However it is possible to repeat last number called/dialed.
'Press' and 'Press&Hold' button associations (e.g. As assigned with PowerButtons from OmegaOne Battery Pack Pro), get easly misleaded. It seems internal timers are not workig properly.
My wishes
MS BT stack to implement sending extra info to 'Caller ID' enabled BT headsets. So they can show Contact name instead of caller number only.
Ability to tap handsfree icon at phone app, to toggle handsfree profile, instead of doing it through the menu (old 'profile' today plugin from WM2003, would be nice too).
Somehow allow Activesync to store Contacts PPC specific information, like associated ringtones (ringtone name should be enough) on PC Outlook Contacts. So the information could be later restored if needed, by synching.
Most of them seem to be MS issues, and nothig to do with HTC, Qtek, i-mate, etc...
Except for the first two, that I believe to be HTC issues in fact.

I cant Unlock the ExtROM, how did you do that?
Hope you back soon!
couldnt get MMS or a pop 3 to work.
WMP10 still plays 320/240 and fails to enlarge
Fn -> doesnt work....
of course the battery / clock on the today is one big screw up, but dont think this is an imate issue, more a MS issue
The new Comm Manager requires a full end task from task manager, not a simple stop. there is no help with Comm Manager, and no "intuitive" understanding as to what the other icons do.
No real additional functionality to the device overall in my view.
But much faster and who can therefore complain about the other stuff....
Actually, I think the Battery/Taskbar problem is an I-mate issue. NOT M$!!
o2 did that on their Blueangel. You have to remove the .dll the i-mate cab adds (by preventing it from installing in first place?) and edit registry to show the clock again
The comm manager is very self explanatory, so I have no idea what you are on about
I agree it has a few other problems, but at least the Uni is now a speedy lil devil and not sluggish

i've the same problem. I cant Unlock ExtRom!!!
No bluetooth STEREO.
And other minor problem...
I-MATE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?!? :twisted:
As anyone noticed pocket outlook now checks you email even when you leave it on a sms or mms account! No more worrying about changing the thing back to email after every text message! nice!
I wouldn't know which .dll it is unless I got a hold of the CAB file from the extended ROM. With o2 it was called batteryinfo.dll and was in the \Windows folder, but also had a few Registry entries to go with it. To add the Time in the taskbar have a look at the following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell
"TBOpt"=hex:12,00,00,00
Change 2 as follows:
0:blank, 1:time only, 2:date only, 3:date & time
However, I think this will only work once you remove the i-mate battery add-in.
Could you give me a complete Registry Dump of your Device? That way I may find the registry entry that causes the battery to be shown.
Thanks
The battery icon is a MS issue. I have nothing from the extended ROM installed and still have the battery icon. Don't waste your time looking for a fix in the extended ROM. There must be some registry setting that needs to be changed. I'm still looking too....
For those who can't unlock Extended ROM, read this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42812&highlight=
Can't say exactly which sequence of actions made it possible, but it is working stable!
The main issue seems to be that Extended ROM folder, should have a name different of 'Extended_ROM' on registry.
I've used:
- 'Extended ROM' first and it didn't work
- than 'ExtROM' it worked
- and now 'Extended ROM' again. It's working!
At the it is even not needed to run the CAB to unlock. The registry tweaks are enough. Strange....

I'd be looking in the registry if someone gave me a dump of the registry like I asked. It is a I-mate Issue, because the Today plugin is not made by M$?
Here you have my registry dump.
Changing
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell
"TBOpt"
to 3 for example, displays time&date, but overwritting battery icon.
Defenitely it is needed to disable battery icon on title bar, and force the time to display also when on Today screen.
My most new annoying experience...
Everytime I delete some files from ExtROM that I don't want to install at hardreset, they reappear again after a softreset.
Even powering the device down, and waitting more than 10secs, as seral times suggested in this forum.
Maybe a silly question, but any ideas to overcome this?

There is a profile Appliction is this CAB file : "signed_UNI_o2AUI4_build88.cab"
The CAB is in the: "O2_XDA_Exec_Extended_ROM_1.13.188" (found on the FTP server)
Unfortunately there is also other (O2) crap, that I don't want.
I found out that I need the following files:
- backlight.png
- phone.png
- PowerProfiles.exe
- profiles.dat
- scheduler.dat
- Scheduler.exe
- sound.png
The 3 images (.png files) are use in the application PowerProfiles. I guess the profiles.dat stores the information. The Scheduler.exe is the app for handeling the times, give to the profiles. And the scheduler.dat stores the times.
I coppied the files to my phone and it worked. But thats not enough. I want the Profile App on my today screen. So I can switch profiles fast, like a nokia foon.
Can anyone help me? Suggesting other programs to handle Profiles is welcome 2.

Does anyone know a .DLL Editor/viewer program that can read PocketPC .dll files?
Re:
posted the application myself...in the other forum...just search for it....the only prob is the generic icon of the exe
cheers
oops sorry....my bad!! didnt read the entire post , well actually there was a dll for today plugin...in the extended rom...never bothered bout it though
If you want to change profiles from the today screen then "PhoneAlarm" is probably the best. See this at www.pocketmax.net.
The today skins for this application allows you to change profiles directly from the today screen and even without the use of stylus.

But how can I make a Today Items out of it?
I want to crack open the Setup.dll of the CAB file.
I found PE Explorer from www.heaventools.com, does someone have some experience with this tool? Or know an other tool to read out the DLL
Anyone have these cabs? Or programs?
1) Suspend/PowerOff button
2) Alt-Tab so i can link it to a hard button
3) Softreset which i have that i am uploading here but doesn't have a Icon. Its just a plain program. If you have one with a nice icon, please upload here?
Isn't this the wrong forum to post such a request? Oh well, a really quick search for Alt-Tab found http://www.google.com/search?as_q=A...rum.xda-developers.com&as_rights=&safe=images. 2nd listing has your file.
You can find the next one the same way
Hint - look at my sig.
Cheers
Thanx Dr.Puttingham,
I actually found that cab the same time you posted it here. But i am trying to find the suspend and softreset the same way. But i always get some other threads that doesn't provide the cab. Rather they talk about other things.
Do you have the Suspend and Softreset programs?
maybe you would like me to come over and spoon feed you to? what does this have to do with WM6 in my eyes not a damn thing... Boy you just opened the perfect what not to post thread!! I'm not feeling to normal at the moment or I would flame you till my finger hurt. Dr is right SEARCH and if you don't find maybe it doesn't exist... Make it yourself this is a devoloper forum remember not a cab dipository...
I can't remember where I saw it but what you are looking for is in here somewhere. Of course "suspend" and "softreset" will only return about a billion search results. Maybe someone will see your post and can help out more. Most of the folks here are helpful.
Hmm, um, a CAB for an app to soft reset your device? Isn't easier to use the stylus? Maybe I'm nuts?
Thanx.
I've found it. The Alt-tab and the suspend and the softreset. The Suspend and softreset are from this program.. pcshutxp or something like that.
One I've used for a while is PHM's freewares:
http://www.phm.lu/products/PocketPC/
Can't remember if it's the Powertoys or Keys that gives you what you're after, I always tend to have both installed as they're pretty small (and free)!
here's the alt-tab program from SPB

system tray bar
Hey pal, i've tried a few different things and found out that the prog in question is called o2c.exe (thats on my device anyway, maybe the same on the hermes). I found a thread that said rename the "o2c.exe" and replace it with "dciNobar.exe" renamed to 02c.exe, I tried this but it got rid of the soft keys (not what i wanted), so i just renamed 02c.exe to 02c_orig.exe (in file explorer), soft rest my device and hey presto no system tray, all that popped up was an error message saying it can't find o2c.exe or it is not trusted.
btw added these two little proggies (within zip) and my phone is now super sexy.

I really need to be able to play an extended ringtone and it seems the Blackjack II had a registry tweak to handle this. That tweak doesn't work on our TP2s tho.
I am honestly surprised more folks haven't inquired about this.
do a search on this forum for "NoRingToneLimit" - it is .cab file and it works.
I searched the forum and did not find any hits, so I did an advanced search which took me to the archives.
There is a reference to a fix for 6.1:
mikefordmustang.com/downloads/NoRingtoneLimit.cab
Can anyone confirm this works for 6.5?
Found this as well but I haven't tried it personally. Seems easy enough to test though if you want to give it a go.
- Go into HKEY_Current User > ControlPanel > Sounds
- Delete the key of FileSizeLimit
- Done, You should now be able to set any MP3 as your ringtone.

That is the same tweak I found on a google search that was said to work for the Blackjack II. There is no such entry for WM 6.5 on my gsm TP2.
I did add the entry, using a larger value, and it did not work for me.

You might have already tried this, but did you search your registry to see if that key existed in some other location maybe? I have 6.1 or I'd go look myself...

You know, I did do a search, but it just occurred to me that I searched for files, not strings within the registry.
I am going to do a search on both FileSizeLimit and NoRingToneLimit as strings and see what it comes up with. Total Commander is proving to be invaluable right about now!

I do like TC and can't deny its swissarmyknife-like utility, but for when I just want to zip around in the registry, I like the look/feel of PHM_regedit better.
thx for the tip! i'll look into that ..
Use ceregeditor and browse your phone registry form your computer making it 100 times easier.
so I grabbed ceregeditor and yes indeed, it makes it sooo much easier to search/edit registry entries.
so ... my findings:
Installing NoRingtoneLimit.cab did put an entry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sounds:FileSizeLimit

The default Value Data was set to 0 .. this did not work.
I increased the value to a high # .. i saw 10487200 as a possible value when I found the blackjack ii tweaks .. that too did not work.
Im guessing everything Im doing works just fine for WM 6.1 .. but nobody has figured out why it doesnt for 6.5. I hope there are others out there with more insight into this. I really dont want to go back to my old phone when I go OnCall this weekend!

It works on my AT&T Tilt 2 with 6.5 - Have Hallelujah Chorus (eleven minutes) as a ringtone.
well now i'm bummed even more!
i am going to uninstall the .cab .. reset .. and then re-install .. and reset to see what happens.
iv'e tried different things to come up with a solution and nothing appears to be taking: repeat notifications, filesizelimit, notificationlayoutnew.dll ... i get zilch on each!
wow .. 11mins!
well i am just so frickin' dissapointed in this thing now. i just cant fathom as to why a GSM model would be that much different than an ATT Tilt2.
I guess perhaps using one of the many available ROMs on this site could help? Any advice, anyone?
And that made all the difference!
It finally works!
I knew there had to be something weird about my setup that was causing this not to work for me. I was timing the length of the ringtone and while the longest was at 20 seconds, there were times when it was a little as 10.
I started thinking that perhaps something was intercepting or disturbing the process that killed the ringtone. I never thought to uncheck DISPLAY MESSAGE ON SCREEN.
This is what made the difference. Once the txt message screen timed out and disappeared, the ringtone died as well. Unchecking it allowed the ringtone/vibration to play fully. WHEW! I swear, of all the things to check last ... when will I ever learn!
