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

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.
Hello Guys,
Finally, we have an almost working solution. A member has posted a .cab that changes your DPI from 131 to 96 DPI.
It works ! I have personally tested it myself. However, it still needs work done.
This looks great but it still needs some minor work done. If I do come across any solutions, I will keep you guys posted. If you guys come across anything, please post here so we can figure this one out.
Setup Instructions:
1) Run the WM6.1-131to96dpi.CAB file
2) when it asks for you to restart, do not restart.
3) Click Start, Accessories and run Command Processor, and click the "..." button.
4) Go to Menu, Browse Folder, and select the folder where you put the dpi.ccs file.
5) Now you will see the dpi file, and then go ahead and run it.
6) Wait for it go back to the homescreen and then reboot your phone.
Uninstall Instructions:
1) Start > Settings > Remove Programs
2) Select .CAB (131 to 96 dpi)
3) Click Remove Program
---------
Issues:
1) Programs in storage card - do not run OR files are missing
2) Rinku's Iconbar is slightly cut off from the bottom
3) Smart tool kits "start" button is misaligned
4) Wallpaper is slightly cut off from the bottom
5) NRG Miniweather - Date & Day are not properly aligned either
6) Pocket Nester Plus not working (maybe due to ROMs stored on storage card)
ATTENTION: PROGRAMS ON SD CARD ARE NOT WORKING, NOR ARE MY IMAGES FOR MYFAVES SHOWING UP. HOWEVER, STORAGE CARD SEEMS TO WORK.I UNINSTALLED IT AND EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I am posting screenshots for you guys and I have attached the .zip (which includes .cab and dpi.ccs) for you to download. The experts out there, use this as foundation and see if you can fix it for our phones.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DISCLAIMER: USE THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK. FOR NOW, THIS IS STRICTLY FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU BRICK YOUR DEVICE OR ERASE THE CONTENTS OF YOUR DEVICE.
Credit goes to falleny for posting this .cab and pudgedaddy for instructions on how to fix dpi.ccs - Great Job!
Best Regards,
lukybandit
thanks for your updated screenshot...
try to delete lcd.ttf and plumsip5.dll from your windows folder
if it still have problem, i may ask the guy who make this cab
pudgedaddy said:
One thing i have a question with is how does this behave when using PIE or Opera Mobile or Opera Mini? or other applications such as games ?
Secondly, now un-installable is this app? If it's not something i want to use at this point, am i at the point of no return without hard-reset?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
i can sure this is safe and uninstallable...have a try, if u don't like it...just uninstall it...from your setting menu
aiight it works fine...if u have LCD installed and use medium or larger format in Opera it won't look right. and yea...other than that...seems to be working fine...another note.
dpi.css.zip has to be renamed to dpi.css and then in CeleCMD you have to make it so it can see all files then u can run dpi.css...at least that is what i did. and all works fine.
edit: Or that.
works great...few issues...the messaging icons are a bit messed up...in celetask the 'reboot, shutdown, etc' icons are a bit messed up...hmmm...picture viewer is acting funny....and i cant access folders on my storage card just the storage card itself.
What's the purpose of lowering the dpi?
Please Check Post 1
I have fixed the dpi file by renaming dpi.css to dpi.ccs as well as unzipped it into the ZIP folder in first post. Thank you pudge for the instructions
Now you can follow the instructions and it should work as shown but there are still some minor issues except one being major that is SD programs are not working. I don't know how to fix this. If anyone comes across any fixes, please post here.
another issue...PocketNesterPlus not working (ROMS are stored on storage card so that may be the issue) get :
Error
_____________________
can not open or Mapper not supported
Thank you, and thanks to everyone that worked on this. I have been waiting for this for a while.
I was going to install it earlier today but i was getting a corrupt message from the dpi.css; Im glad you updated it very quickly.
If anyone is running Rickywatts vanilla ROM, you can find the command processor in "My Tools". Just a heads up.
Dang it, that sucks cause I got guitar hero three on my SD card... What the heck...
this is a great day thank you for your hard work. I tried this myself but my WM kung-fu is lacking anyone else?
First of all, thanks to all the developers and researchers responsible for making this happen.
Second, I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
Is anybody else getting the same error and/or knows what should I do to get past it? I really want to try this...
BTW, my excalibur is app unlocked already (surreal networks app used).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.
I really like the way this looks, but is there anything i can do to make the text a bit bigger?
Im running WM6.1 and the small text is somewhat hard to read.
Sorry guys if this is a repitive question, but what is the purpose of lowering the dpi? I have read post one Lukybandit, but it doesn't say what the benefit is.
Would someone mind posting a few reasons why this mod is desired?
Thanks.

Although i personally wouldn't recommend installing this at the moment ( issues with the storage card and alignment issues)
basically this works similarly to increasing your screen resolution on your PC.(minus the actual resolution changing) meaning it fits more stuff on your devices display since it shrinks down what is placed on your screen.

Hey,
Sorry, that post wasn't directed at you.
The only benefit I can see from this is what pudgedaddy said. By lowering the dpi, you are able to fit more things onto the screen and i guess it looks cleaner. Like that of a pc. I hope that answers your question.
That's great. Appreciate the info. Sounds like a fun mod. Will give it a try when you guys say it's ready .
man - great find. this would be so awesome if we can get the storage card isue working. the extra screen real estate is great for contacts, texts, damn near everything.
works as advertised and uninstalls perfectly.
Anyone have any progress with any of the issues? So far, I haven't been able to dig into it.
This thread is especially for people who showed deep interest in this project. I suggest you start testing, post feedback and try and find solutions since this has been made possible for those who wanted this.
Good Luck and Keep Us Posted.
Need help to be able to test...

Hi!
I'm willing to test it, but i can´t get around the problem i posted before:
"I'm getting the following error when I try to Install the cab (I open the cab, the progress bar goes all the way 'till its end the this is displayed):
"Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions".
I've already checked my phone's registry for any lock on the policies, but it's effectively unlocked, and other cabs/apps signed and unsigned install without any problem... BTW, I'm using Ricky's wm6.1 v23 ROM...
Can someone give me some help on this? I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks in advance and cheers.
I recently rebooted my pc and forgot to backup my history, so i tried looking for thie registy fix which speed up my touch diamond, but now i cant seem to find it, it was a post title something like "improve performance window mobile with one registry fix" or something similar to that, and it pointed to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\FATFS and said to create a new dword file something named enablefilecache or enablewritecache or some crap and i cant seem to find it. anyone recalls that thread or post ? if so please post it, tysm.
is this what you mean?

hi
ty for replying i found some handy tweaks there but i also found this one i was looking for; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2727537 ty again
I have no idea how to write or develop apps or anything but I had an idea I thought would be cool if someone could develop it. I have tried the new windows 7 phone and think the idea of looking quick to see everything is a great idea. I'm a car guy and think working gauges and graphs would be cool to use instead of the boxes. There could be gauges or graphs that show: 1) Battery Level 2) Memory for RAM, ROM and SD Card 3) How much the Processor is working 4) Missed Calls 5) Emails 6) Messages 7) Wi-Fi signal or whatever else. I have looked and found 2 apps that had a few of these together but they looked a bit simple, and there are a few out there for the battery. I thought it would be nice to see these on one page for a quick look to see whats going on. I'm not sure if it would work with android having different pages like it does or even if it's possible. It's just an idea I liked and thought others might also. I know I would pay a little something for it if it worked and looked good. If there is something out there I missed or someone does this give me a private message, I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks

So like... What phone are you using currently?
There is an app called eRay, I'm not sure if it is on the marketplace or not but I have used it and it works well for this. Very nice graphical statistics. Do a google search to see if you can find it.
HEllo i woud like to install buttonremapper on XDandroid frx06 but in wont let me because i think it's not full rooted! how can I install it?!
Huh? Guess I'll have to try it on my RAPH110 to see if that is the device you are talking about. Not sure what you mean by "not fully rooted" as if it wasn't fully rooted, I wouldn't be able to install half of the apps/programs I have on there...
At best, it might be a device compatibility issue but this XDAndroid not fully rooted deal is hogwash to me(IMO).
[on another tangent]
Don't just say stuff like that unless you know for a fact that is the problem. It makes your problem less likely to be solved by the devs that work on the project and possibly from others that would otherwise be willing to help. And if you don't care one way or the other, why post about it?
FRX06 is most certainly 'rooted'. Titanium Backup wouldn't work otherwise...
I looked at that app, and I don't think we can use that app. You can remap buttons in the rootfs, which native Android devices do not have...

I posted a opinion, not a fact!
[on another tangent]
Question: Are you dumb?!
@arrrghhh
Well, maybe you can help me in another way. My problem is the following: my qwerty keyboad has the "A" & "F" letter unfunctional and in windows i had rebind them to other keyz. Does exists a solution for this problem on XDAndroid?!
Not really but I was being a tad sarcastic... I'm goint to take a stab in the dark and say you didn't catch it. Oh well, I don't suppose you want to tell us what device you are attempting to run this on(which was my main question and yes, I have seen other device owners post here). So, there's no way I can be of further assitance, my friend :enter sad face of choice here:
Additionally, you should take Arrrghhh's suggestion to remap the buttons in the rootfs... No idea how to help you in that arena either
Yea, you'd have to make your own keymap basically. It's doable, read thru F22's rootfs thread - there's tips on how it all works. Bust open the rootfs by bind mounting it on a Linux box and see what's inside. I believe the kl files are the ones you'll need to modify, just make your own and reference it in the startup.txt.

****! i thaugt that there is a app that can easily do it like in winMO. I don't have a clue of what you where instructed me! hope someday i'll have time to learn how to succesfuly rebind them! Thank you arrrghhh for now!
@R^7Z leave the sarcasm for other that have a nice life! It's not easy to buy a new keyboard when the price of one piece is half of my income/mounth. :|
"To each their own" my friend! I hope you find the good in the day...
Sorry, your situation is pretty unique. Perhaps there's something simple missing why it can't remap buttons on the fly, but I'm not aware of what. I would look into it deeper, but again - because of your unique situation I don't think it would really be worth it.
Just installed it in Gingerbread (alpha) and it FC'd when I attempted to run it but haven't had a desire to downgrade to FRX06 yet...
I might consider it later when I actually have the time...
