How to Get Date on top with Time

Hi
Is there a way to get the date and time together on the top.
I have tried the registry options - given in ten forum ..but it dint work
Dhruv

Put Date and Time in Top Bar
Look for that text near the bottom of the page

I tried that but doesnt work..anyother way

Hi dhruvkataria,
The way I did it was to transfer the extended rom from the glorious jojo & toenailed ROM from my old Himalaya to my new Blue-Angle and just installed the cab file called "Date" worked like a dream. I have tryed to attach that file to this post...hope it works. If you just copy it to your machine using ActiveSync and install it that should do the trick. Any problems just shout...
Cheers

i use a program called Wisbar Advance 2 that will allow you to add skins and give you the date and time on the corner...very customizable app. and very cheap....here is the link....if you like the program make sure you keep up with the forums for new beta release updates and skins....cheers....

This works:
1) Go to the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell key.
2) Add a Binary value called "TBOpt" if it does not already exist.
3) Set the value to "0x 00 00 00" where x=0 (Nothing), x=1 (Time), x=2 (Date) and x=3 (Date and Time)
4) Soft reset.
But how do you get AM/PM next to the time displayed?

Or grab a (14 day) trial copy of Spb's Tips & Tricks 1.5 - it includes the tweak as a built in feature.

how to change Universal pagepool ?

Please help me,thanks!

I'm not really sure but I guess this thread could give you some clues:

but it might be different for Univ.

I do hope someone could make a REALLY STEP by STEP instruction for beginners like me. The instructions on the thread still sounds too complicated for me.
I do know we need a HEX Editor. Here is a link: http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/delphi/freeware/xvi32/xvi32.htm

You need to get hold of a copy of BAL666's ROM editing tool and a hex editor.
Take the ROM you use and decode NK.NBF using BALs tool.
Using the Hex editor load the resultant NK.FAT file into it and do a search for 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 ?? ?? ?? ?? 00 00 where ?? are random bits. If you are using XVI32, replace each ?? with 2E.
Shortly after this string you will see a couple of bytes reading 60 00 (or 48 00 is you are using a standard ROM). Change these to 80 00 and save the changes. Note: 48 00 is about 4.8MB, 80 00 is about 8MB etc....
Then using Bal's editor, re-encode the ROM.
Flash it to your device in the normal way.
That easy.

Can you direct us where to find BAL 666 editing tool? I did a search on this site and the net and found no hits. Thanks pug.
Is this the tool you were referring: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=848159

thanks pug ,i have change pagepool to 8MB.

How? Please elaborate more. Do I have the correct link for BAL 666 Tool? Which one should I use?

cktlcmd:
Use htc64_extended_rom_tool_v1.1.zip.
Can use to decode all *.nbf files.
Use the method describe by "pug" above.
pug:
Why need to change ?? to 2E for XVI32 hex editor?
My ?? ?? ?? ?? is 5c e8 57 90, what does it mean?

Not sure what they are, they seem to be random characters for each ROM build. Don't change them......
The 2E is the standard wildcard for hex searches in XVI32, in much the same way * is in DOS. All it does is let any characters appear in that bit of the search. If you search for BB 2E FF it will show BB AA FF, BB 01 FF etc
That HTC64 tool is the one I was on about made by Bal666
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=25416&d=1133971744

OK, I was able to convert the nk.nbf file to nk.fat file. I am now stuck at a screen with a lot of numbers using the HEX Editor. What shoud I do next? What HEX address should I be looking for?

As suggested by Pug above I searched for "64 B0 00 00". My other searches did not yeild anything. I still dont see what I am supposed to correct.

Take a look.

On the picture you attached. It states the HEX ADD as "45C345". On mine, I can't find that HEX ADD. Is it supposed to be different for every ROM?

@CWKJ
Open XVI32
Open the NK.FAT file
Click on the Magnifying Glass search option.
Check the Hex String option.
Enter 64 B0 00 00 64 00 00 00 2E 2E 2E 2E 00 00 2E 00
Check that the Joker Char Hex is checked and 2E is entered in the box next to it.
Click OK
When the search is done, about a second it will take you to the first character in the search string. Look along it to where the last 2E in the string would be and you will see either 48 for a standard ROM or 60 for Ivans ROM.
Change this in the window on the left for 80. This will give approx 8MB of page pool.
Save the file and exit XVI32.
Recode the ROM using BALs tool and flash to device as normal.
The first four 2E's on the string do change with different ROMs.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH CWKJ AND PUG FOR THE HELP. I FINALLY FOUND IT.
PUG, give me an hour to try this out and I will load Ivan's Beta 14 and check out the button 4 for you.

@cktlcmd,
No probs, I didn't know how 4 days ago.
I got bored and flashed them all anyway, swapped DLLs about left, right and centre and none of it worked.
Thinking of giving up on it. If it works for you can you dump your registry for me so I can see if I can see where the problem lies.
Cheers,
Pug.

OK, I now have Beta 15 running with 8MB of pagepool. Give me instructions if you still want me to downgrade to Beta 14 and instructions on how to dump my registry. Let me know which ROM version registry you want.
Thanks again.

Button Settings
I don't know if this is what you need. But I took screen shots of the registry settings. Here are the settings using TRE registry editor too.

Anyone noticed any significant improvements after increasing paging pool?

The speed is subjective because I dont have a benchmark app, but it definitely feels faster. I tried increasing the pagepool on both Ivan's and Indra's latest release, and I definitely noticed the increased in speed. Pug is also right, increasing the pagepool seemed to have solved the Memory Leak in Ivan's ROM.
The downside is the decrease in available memory to run apps, because after a soft reset, it now only have 26.88 MB as opposed to 28.88 MB at start.
The speed increase is highly noticeable with Indra's ROM, because to begin with, Indra's ROM had the original setting of 4.8 MB, icreasing it to 8 MB made it run even faster.

Excel Version 6.1 problem

I am using the mUn cooked ROM 2.0.
When I create a spreadsheet with Excel I am having this problem after I close the file and try to reopen it "An error occurred while opening the file .... The file may be corrupt". Any ideas why this is happening and how can I fix it ?
Thanks a lot in advance.

You have to go to settings -> regional settings -> and on decimal symbol change it to a simple dot "."
and in the digit grouping symbol change the "." for a ","

Thank you but I tried your advise and unfortunately "no joy". Still the same problem. Any other ideas?

Well I had the same problem and did change those 3 fields for being equivalent with the original rom language (english)
I didn't had more corrupted files but couldn't fix the ones that got corrupted before...

You were right, it worked. It does not fix the already corrupted files, but it does not create any new more. Thank you very much for the support.

How to see day and time in ONE line on today screen

Hi all,,,
Is it possible to see the day (example wednesday) date-month-year + time in ONE (1) line on the today screen
I preffer some registry edit.
I hope someone has the answer...
thanks in advance
menno

You will have to write your own Today screen plugin for that.

Take a look at rlToday:
http://www.rotlaus-software.de/projects/rltoday
It does calendars, clocks, all kinds of stuff. And it's totally customizable. You should be able to write a simple skin that does exactly what you want.

Somewhere in this forum I found a tool for that: "LMVTime"

Hi,
tried it in WM6 Emulator and on my Orbit (O2 WM6 Ger) both worked fine, but i don't use them.
I like it more in the Top Bar (like described before)
Did you close your Reg-Editor properly and waited about 30 Seconds before Soft-Resetting?

just to make sure you get what i mean, look at atached file

Hi all,
my solution was following entry:
- HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
- Create a DWord value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "3".
- Soft-reset
And then i had exactly the same. With the '13 00 00 00'-Key i had to reset my phone because i didn't boot anymore
Cheers

Hi again,
last words before going to Bed
The Value i mentioned is Reg-Binary not Dword.
I just double-checked it on my Orbit (with TC v2 and TaskManager - build in Registryeditor) and both told me Binary.
But anyway ... i tried your Dword 3 and it also works fine => same result

All Reg-Values
Hi all...
in another thread i found all values for the TitleBarClock-Key:
Show Time,Date,both or Battery on top bar at Today screen
[HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\]
Time:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=1
Date:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=2
Both:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=3
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
Battery:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=0 / "TBOpt"=1

Wow this did work for me - I got the battery indicator on the title bar, but any reason why the date/time on the today screen is now 2 lines instead of on one line?

I wonder if there's a way to get the battery, time and date on the title bar?

WM6 dialer

How do I get this dialer for my HTC P3300? I recently purchased this phone which came with a wm6 os installed and it has the native smart dialer.
However, i would like to have this dialer.
Please help
cheers
Burjis

Install, before In registry HKLM > Security > Phone > Skin
Change Enabled from 1 to 0
And reboot

Thanks but could you please elaborate on this registry thing... i am new with the registry edits etc...
cheers
Burjis

Install this editor.

Couple of simple steps
Ok here a couple of simple steps for you.
1. copy the attached Areo_Dialer.cab file to your xda (Its not exactly the same dialler skin as the one you posted but its as close as i could find), tap it from there and it will install.
2 if you dont have a registry editor, use the one tabarda has provided.
once you have installed both (the Areo_Dialer.cab & Registry Editor) open the Registry Editor, go to HKEY_LOCAL _MACHINE > Security > Phone > Skin > then change Enabled from 1 to 0.
Then do a soft reset and it should now have the dialpad you requested.
hope this helps
Wooley

Thanx a ton... u guys are too good...
cheers
Burjis

NO, no, they are wrong! (just partly...)
There is NO NEED TO INSTALL ANYTHING! The picture in the first post shows the original WM6 dialer that comes built-in, by Microsoft. But you usually cannot see this, because or HTC either the branded versions put their own dialer skin 'above' the original one.
So, the only thing to do: obtain a registry editor (the posted one is OK), navigate to 'HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE / Security / Phone / Skin' and change the value of 'Enabled' from 1 to 0. Then soft reset and voilá: you will see exactly the same dialer like in the picture.

thats what i thought? i think theres a post on it which i asked the same thing in meschles 2.1 touch rom
but if you want to divert back to the other pad do you just edit to 1 again and soft reset?

i just did this and nohting changed? i have the same dialler that you get with the touch 2.1 wm6 mechle's rom?

change the setting. WAIT ABOUT 20-30 SECONDS and then soft reset.
The WAIT is hard to explain, but then you can be sure a registry setting keeps changed.

worked fine after the WAIT

To modify PIN pad you can remove this line:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\security\ResOver\Bitmaps]
"BaseDll"="phcanOverbmp.dll"
