Acquire Date/Time & TZ info from network - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

I know I'm going to be beaten for asking a question that surely has been answered somewhere in here, but I've searched extensively and can't find my answer. The WM 6 upgrade I used doesn't include an option to acquire date/time info from my carrier/network (AT&T, US). I've found many WM6 versions where this ability has been cooked in, but is there a stand-alone file I can download to add this functionality to the WM6 version I currently run?
Thanks.

download any tweak cabs (like pimp my black, tweakui) and check the "timezone" box, soft reset
goto your network settings > timezone tab > check the box.

Can't find it either.

I'm with you, I can't find it either. I can find the option to have the time zone change automatically but not to acquire the date/time info from my carrier.

This involves 2 registry changes...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\NITZEnable=dword:00000001]
and
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PhoneSetting\ShowNITZPage=dword:00000001]
Attached is a small cab that has those entries.
(These are also included in my personal WM6 tweak cab in my signature.)
Enjoy.

Thank You Soooo much!

many thanks Dr. P

been lookin for this, thanks

The problem I've found with enabling the time and time/zone update is that it doesn't work problem on the 3 network in Sydney, Australia. Instead of going to GMT + 10 Sydney, it always goes to GMT +10 Vladivostok !!
Unfortunately this messes up appointments and puts the clock an hour out because it seems to think it's in daylight saving...
Can't blame the 3 network though because it updates ok on other non-windows mobile phones.

Today Date PlugIn

Hi guys! just wondering if there is a reg tweak so i can get the time as well as the date on the date today plugin. it does it on some ROMs so i know its possible, just doesnt do it on my current one (DuttyThroy Ultra Ultra Lite). I have read through the wiki but to no avail!

You can find the TodayAgenda very ussefull, and the LVMDate too, but try to do a little bit research before, and ask in the right forum, this one is related to WM6 only...
Regards.
They are both extra programs which i dont see the need to install seeing as it is possible to do it with what must be a reg tweak (Black RC does it, Schaps latest etc).
And it is the place for this question seeing as its WM6 related!!!!
Oh and i have researched a lot before asking. Believe me, i know how certain members treat noobs that ask b4 looking and i dont want to be set on fire!!
Thanks for your suggestions though dude!!

If you only want the tweak, try with the Advanced Configuration Tool from Schaps.
You can find the tweak in the Hermes Registry Wiki too...
Regards.
I dont think u understand what i mean, i want time and date on the date plugin NOT the top bar which is what Schaps AC does. I have checked the Hermes Reg Tweak guide and again it is the same thing.
If u click on the link for Today Agenda above and go to screenshots, u see what i mean. The very top plugin on the today screen has date on the left of plugin and time on the right.
And with Black X RC it had both time and date on the today plugin even when i switched it to UK region settings.
I have attached a screen of what i mean
What you're searching for would appear to be the TodayTime plugin, available here. Back in my Wizard daze many cooks would include it in their ROM kitchens, not so much with the Hermes cooks.
And I disagree, this has nothing to do with WM6.

I really understand you, man...
If you take a look at the Schaps tools options, you'll find one called "Single line date plugin"...this is the one helps you. Also, Schaps tool allows you to change much things...
And in the Wiki page there's one tweak for this too...
Today Date Plugin on a single line
Add this registry setting to get the date todayplugin back on one line.
[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today]
"AutoSingleLineDatePlugin" = dword:00000001

lol! i want the TIME on the same line as the date? where does the reg tweak do this? all it does is put all the date on ONE LINE!!! i want to ADD the TIME to the line whereas default is just the DATE

With my knowloedge you can't add time and date in one line today plugin with OS default plus any tweak...
But you can do with LVWDate or TodayAgenda...yes, i know you must install it, but you can't get all...

Problem with Honk Kong World-Wide English (WWE): easy install, Courtesy ChunkyMonkey

I installed this ROM referenced above (from here) and i have two questions:
1) is there an add on to allow the network wizard to config for Tmobile (US)?
2) I have some text input problems and I'm wondering if they are because this ROM is for Asia
* in notes and text messaging (maybe other places), the ALT symbols that show up do not correspond with the indicated symbol on the keyboard
* occasionally it reverts to UPPERcase automatically, as if the normal mode was CAPS-LOCK ON.
thanks

Basically mate, don't bother with any of the roms on that thread. When 6.1 first started to appear on hermes there was a rush of separate threads with links to different versions appearing around and about. I just colleted them into a single thread.
It's really old now and probably should be deleted.
The network config app you want is by schap's and you'll find it attached to lots of threads in this and other forums on xda-dev.
The text problems are probably because, although a WWE rom, it's for the Honk Kong market so yes, designed for use in Asia.
There are much better rom options in this forum, so reflashding with a much mofre recent one would be my advice.
which clean and stable ROM would you recommend? touchflo interface would be nice, even if i have to add it later.
thanks

Ah, now there's a question and a half. I use one I cooked but it's got loads of my own stuff cooked into it with paid-for software so I can't give it out.
It's actually based on an older, WM6 ROM (Pandora 6) from matt_kr's kitchen but heavily edited. It's very stable but doesn't have the stuff you'd want. One good way for a noob to to get an idea of which roms are already popular just at a glance is by looking at how long some rom threads become.

m3Jorge's Vogue Kitchen (WM6.1 (20931), PIE6 (New Beta), Manila2D (Jade))

OK guys here it is... Release 2.1
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=BK0TO546

I will keep it short for now:
SYS & XIP 20931 wiith VoIP...
Alltel 3.10 OEM Base...
Latest Jade OEMs...
My OEM selections from PPCKitchen...
Manila2D hacked for custom cities...
##codes in dialer enabled no ## code folder ncessary...(some added Pro drivers as well)
comon issues with Jade OEMs fixed (BT, baclight.exe, deviceinfo, etc)
Carrier OEMs choose (most from PPCGeeks Sprint one Tweaked a bit more) choose only one of these or none and use dcd carrier cabs...
(SPRINT Users I recommend using carrier selection in the kitchen)
Slide to answer delay in dialer addressed...
Full kernel Mode Enabled (Cert verify disabled as well)
NEW IE 6 beta available (fixed and fully functional, flash enabled... very stable so far too )
SYS selection updated
Diamond theme provxml fixed
build issues fixed (cab and provxml processing was broken)
Threaded SMS issues fixed!
UC enabled...

Pending....
Updated OEM selections from build os (just gotta write option.xml's)...
more optimizations and tweak selection...
Ensure no one encounters contacts issue... I haven't seen it but if people could test for it!
Credits to Vet (of course), ppckitchen.org, etc. XDA & PPCGeejs gurus... (sorry short on time)
Hi guys and gals....
I am very sorry that I have not been around or gotten you the updates promised... The honest truth is that I have been going through a lot of difficulties in my personal/financial life and work so I just dropped the ball here... I am working my way back and looking forward to give you guys a new WM6.1 kitchen and will look at the WM6.5 one and see if I can add any value with my version of one of those too... for those who are having trouble I will try and catch up in the next week or so if it is something urgent feel free to PM me.
Again my sincere apologies and hope that everyone understand that I didn't mean to mislead just circumstances have kept me from delivering...
Reserved for updates.....

Now THAT is VERY strange... as it is specially optimized for sprint... I must have screwed something up when I adapted the kitchen for popular use rather than just my personal use... I have done some more cleanup/tweaks and updated to build 20931 and will put that up tonight... and will test it throughly to ensure it all works
Just to help my testing can you let me know what selections you made when building? and if you did any modifications to any folders as well...
Thanks!
Im using sprint as well. i wasnt able to install cabs and active sync wasnt connecting. i only unchecked the pim backup utility.

Hello,
I also was unable to install anything after flashing. Anything that I tried to install would give me an installation unsuccessful error.
Active sync was spotty, it would just drop connection and then reconnect.

Device Info

Hey m3jorge, I'm really liking this Rom you put out. Totally dig the modded m2d theme you put on with the white underlay on black icons, but I can't change the top/bottom bars to matching diamond(black/grey) in Appearance under Settings, also get the can't install cab error, and no active sync errors others are also experiencing. Other than those 2 issues, everything works and looks nice. Good job and Thanks.
btw... I did all the selections and minimal selections trying to identify the reason why folder won't let let cabs install, but no luck.
Vogue/Sprint
Ok I think I've found the root of the issue about the cabs not installing... quick question though for those having the issue...
Did Customizations run? or try to run? and did you let customizations complete... thanks...

I believe I have what i did is I took the VIRSER_ATCMD.dll (along with the other VIRSER dlls) and fuart.exe from the Alltel 3.10... I found that if the two versions don't match all kind of things with active sync become unhappy

ok that is the weirdest thing... Customizations installs like 3 cabs... but cabs don't work after that? or are we talking about carrier cabs don;t work???
carrier(sprint) or any cabs won't install, because I verified no internet access via testing youtube app and get no videos to load up. gonna reflash and skip customizations to see if that is a factor in cabs not installing.

New TP2 user - several queries

Hi, first post here. I finally replaced my 6 year old iPAQ 2210/2215 with an HTC Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. I'd appreciate advice on a few points please. Hope it's OK to raise multiple topics like this? I also posted to HTC forum yesterday but so far no replies.
1. I make/receive relatively few mobile phone calls so I prefer to use the TP2 in a rather similar mode to previously. IOW, more as a Pocket PC than a phone. Am I right that the Today screen cannot co-exist simultaneously with TouchFlo3D - it's one or the other?
2. Assuming that's the case, is there some way I can quickly restore the TouchFlo UI when I do need it? Or must I go through Settings > Today > Items and re-check that box (losing all my other checkmarks)?
3. I can get to most of the TouchFlo features anyway from the Today screen. But one at least has defeated me: that nice Weather program, which I like a lot. Any suggestions on how to build a shortcut to it please, even if not with the fancy animation?
4. I'm concerned to maximise battery life. I can turn off WiFi and Blutetooth. Is it possible to turn off GPS when I'm not using it?
5. I've so far not found a built-in backup tool (like iPAQ Backup). Is there one, or must I use a 3rd party tool like Sprite Backup?
6. Is there an executable somewhere on my TP2 that will rotate the screen please? When I add Pocket Plus to my Today screen, that has such a toggle tool under one of its tabs. But, despite having only just paid for Pocket Plus (which I've happily used for years on the 2210/15), I don't think I'm going to get on with this latest version, so I need an alternative rotate tool.
Sorry for what's turned out to be a rather long first post!

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
2. See 1
3. Stay with the Today screen in combination with secondtoday
4. No, you cannot turn off the GPS, but what helps a lot is to put the band of the telephone fixed to GPRS, not UMTS/3G/HSDPA. That saves your battery a lot.
5. No there isn't, you must look for Sprite, SPB or sunnysoft backup.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen
Hopes it gets you going
Re backup software. dotfred.net's pimbackup is a handy tool to transfer personal info and can be scheduled.
I am using Second Today.. works great!! love it!! Just like you, can't live without the WM today screen.
Thanks all, appreciate the replies so far. Will try SecondToday. I'm still experimenting with Today plug-ins such as Pocket Plus and PocketBreeze.
I have another query but will post separately about it as it's an application problem.

Just to add.
GPS is turned off all the time unless an application is polling it.
So unless you leave the GPS test,GPSToday, Google Maps, Tomtom, iGo or whatever running, it will be off.

Thanks labbbby, that's good to learn. My main app is Memory-Map, which I use for planning walks (hikes) and recording them etc. On a 6 mile walk the other day I was a bit disappointed to find that my battery was down to about 50%. So extrapolating to a full day's trek (say 12-15 miles) it would be on the limit. Reckon I'll have to invest in a spare.

Try a search on SecondToday for other download sites, maybe you where unfortunate to get a faulty install file...
Hi,
- I would advice you to use TouchFloDetacher, works better than mToday or SecondToday AND it has an easy softkey changer so you can switch easily between TF and Today
- My favorite weatherplugin: WeatherBugDirect_PPC_VGA. Works great but maybe not fancy enough (?)
- Rotators enough: there is a cab somewhere on this forum that does it by changing some reg setting: is better because all the others (i think) are separate programs that need to be running in the background using up mem!
hope this helps a bit ... (still a TP2 beginner myself)

I feel I must correct others:
4.- yes, GPS is switched automatically off when no program listens to the virtual COM port that they see (the driver monitors it), and started when a program connects to it.
It is also switched off in suspend mode, if you would like to log track with PPC "off" - see my program at www.madhacker.org that changes the way the driver behaves.

Ron: Turned out to be down to my stupidity. I tried to execute SecondToday.CAB from my PC! Installed OK of course when done properly from Resco File Explorer on the TP2.
But can you help me get it working please? I first ran the CAB while in TouchFlo mode. Should I then see any evidence of it on the main screen (purple, with large digital clock)? I didn't see anything obvious so went to All Programs. There I found 3 relevant entries:
SToday Quit
SToday Settings
Second Today
I clicked the last and got an empty Today screen, with the left softkey 'Calendar' and no softkey on the right. I clicked that blank area anyway, as I couldn't find anything else, but that gave the error message "This file cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found..."
That mention of a trusted certificate is puzzling. When installing from the PC desktop I've been getting an alert about that and clicking Yes to proceed. But when installing from this SecondToday.CAB that didn't happen.

Thanks Curehead. Not sure if you've seen my reply to Ron about SecondToday, but I'm having the same frustration with TouchFloDetacher! I'm sure it will turn out to be down to some basic mistake on my part.
I ran TFDetacher.CAB in Resco File Explorer while TouchFlo was on. Then, as I couldn't see any more direct way, in All Programs I found 'Hide TouchFlo' and clicked it. That gave me the error message "Unable to find TouchFlo Detacher Service". I also tried re-installing when in Today mode, but got into a similar mess there too.

AlCapone: Many thanks, I've duly installed GPSTweaker.exe which sounds exactly what I need!
If I've understood correctly this means that while using Memory-Map to record my walks I will be able to switch off (suspend) my TP2 to minimise use of the battery, yes? But I'm not clear how Mem-Map will still be tracking while the TP2 is suspended? Unless it does, there's not much point keeping GPS running?

1. Completely right, but you can use SecondToday (freeware) as a shortcut to the "old" today screen.
6. Try Flip-it, it works automatically with your Gsensor. Otherwise look for Gyrator or ChangeScreen

Ron,
I started with Gyrator but I'm totally baffled as to how to set it up. I read earlier in an article about it something to the effect that "Install the MS.NET stuff and the CAB and it just works." Not here it doesn't.
After reset I got a sort of setup screen I didn't really follow so I opened the 'Events' window only to get a complex settings window that meant nothing to me. I'm not normally this dense! Is it meant to be understandable by mere end users rather than programmers/developers?
Is there a reasonably simple step-by-step on how to set it up you can point me to please?
I was hoping for a program that would simply install itself and then either automatically rotate every screen or let me do so at the tap of a command.
I'll try Flip-It now.
Edit:
Gave up on Gyrator and didn't try Flip It following further study. But instead I'm pleased to report that late last night I eventually got ChangeScreen working. The only one I found comprehensible!
BTW, its default was set not to rotate TouchFlo screens, so I had to change that. Why would that not be generally regarded as desirable please?
