hi there i just wanted to know how to add extra options t the bottom of the screen on the p3300 - i upgraded to touch 2.0
its a mda compact 3 nd when came with t-mobile branding/software had little icons at the bottom of the phone like bluetooth, comm manager, battery etc etc, like shortcuts. any idea how to do this?
Try going into Start / Programs / Accessories / TrayLaunch this will let you add shortcuts to the bottom tray at the bottom (you will need to know the exact filename and path to where the programs are installed because it doesnt give you the option to browse for the program)
oh great thanks! but how do i find out the exact file names? i heard it was not safe to launch the tray launcher with touch 2.1 upgrade?
is there some sort of manual or something i can find? tried the net no joy
You can upgrade battery status to latest version 1.04 build 239 and traylaunch is now bug free
oh gret thanks!
Hi to all!
Is there any skin for Universal WM6 which will be similar to this shown on this picutre?

thx
try a program called rltoday. you could make your own skins, and they can be ne-thing and everything you want.
just search for rltoday.
Thanks!
Now I have to download and try.
Somebody made this for rlToday?
It's awesome
Do you think this?

Nice job tslany!
Removing bottom bar: copy extracted dciNobar.exe to Uni (i.e. \Program Files or anywhere), create shortcut, copy shortcut to \Windows\Startup & you lose the bottom bar & soft keys every soft reset. [taken from LG KS20 thread]
Remove tray icons except bluetooth (I don't have it) by installing individual attached cab files.
Let us know if you are successful in this project!
Thanks, catch-22
Here is screenshot of ver. 0.4:
SnapVue.zip contains skin for rlToday and LCD font, SnapVue-tsk.zip contains TSK file
(for remove BT icon (Widcomm stack) I move BTTray.lnk from StartUp folder to My documents and softreset )
Getting better tslany!
Now, we need to put something on the empty space in the middle of the screen like the original SnapVUE. Perhaps align the calendar, email, sms icons in one row and use standard WM5/6/6.1 today plugins to fill up the screen.
Better yet is to enable today plugins above to appear in the empty space between those icons. Wisbar Advance and/or Advance Desktop cannot do that, but I don't know if rlToday can do that either.
Anyway, great job & thanks for sharing. Let me know if I could still be of any help. Will try your design over the weekend, you're welcome!
I had a (little) pause, but now I'm going to work on it. Here is screen with "SnapVue" service from Shift
A if is able to somebody send video with demonstration of all function original SnapVue today plugin, I would have thankful
Alright. Completely redesigned from the ground up... CHome Weather 2 !
This will install two shortcuts in your Start Menu. A "Weather Update" shortcut, which you can use to update manually, as well as "Weather Options" shortcut.
Steps to take to make this work:
1) Install one of the cabs below. Pick the "Slim" version if you want thinner panels, like in the screenshots.
2) It should ask to reboot ! (turn phone off and on.. etc). If it doesn't... reboot manually!
3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options". Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else. More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information in minutes in option 3. Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. Finally you can turnoff the autoupdate feature with the last option (7).
4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it.
5) The cab should set your homescreen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If it doesn't, you need to do it manually to see the weather plugin. If you top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.
Please let me know what bugs you find.
The first couple of thumbnails show the "Collapsed" state of the plugin, where it shows only the city and the current temp.
If you want your system font to look like the one in the thumbnails (calibri), download the .cab attached, install and reboot.
Revisions:
- Ver 1.7 More bug fixes. Hopefully this is a solid release. Options panel redesigned and touched up.
- Ver 1.6a A few bugs fixes. Removed internet connection checking routine as it obviously doesn't work for everybody. A few cosmetic changes.
- Ver 1.6 Added another homescreen theme as an option, that doesn't use the color topbar icons. Pick "Sliding Panel + Weather!" to use it. Added illi's potrait orientation .cpr file to the regular testui version cab. Added AutoUpdate on/off in the options panel (scroll down to see it). Reboot after changing that option. More bugfixes...
- Ver 1.5b. Bug fixes.
- Ver 1.5. Last update reflects time on Yahoo's servers in both layouts. More options added to options panel.
- Ver 1.04 A few updates. More options. Switch between two layouts. Bug fixes... etc
- Ver 1.03 Celsius bug squashed. Now the country code shows up after the city name for people outside the US.
- Ver 1.02 New logic in update script. Update percentage counter added. Forecast for tomorrow in the bottom line with hi and low values and hi and low values for the current day at the top, after the city name. Yahoo icon pack added, in case you prefer those.
- Ver 1.01. Added last update time as a second line under the current temp. Added dropshadow icons created by KWOODALL! Thanks for the beautiful icons! 5/11 10:52AM
As a side note, the second line display is dependant on the font used on the device, so it might not align properly on some device. Let me know when it doesn't and I'll update the script to work on your device. Or better yet, just download the Calibri font mod cab below and be happy. Thank you.

Please use the attached "unlock.cab" to unlock your device if you're getting permission errors trying to install my weather cabs. Thanks.
I am getting an empty variable error after running weather update.

Me too. Weather panel is not included? I don't see a weather panel and Start/Settings/Home Screen settings does not show the "Sliding Panel Media Top Bar + Weather!" homescreen.
same error here
edit. i think i figured out the problem. Mis named two files, he got them flip-flopped. Go to program files/nrg/chomeweather and locate the weather.mscr file. It needs to be renamed SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml and placed in the application data/home folder.//// but b-4 doing that you need to find the SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml already in the application data/home folder and put it somewhere so it doesnt get overwritten. Then after youve moved the first file,relocate the SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml file you relocated and rename it Weather.mscr and place it in program files/nrg/chomeweather . then try the update
update: the vibrate thing when you update the weather is kinda funky. you can take it out of the weather.mscr if you dont like it. Just do your edit via notepad on your pc and replace it into its original directory on your phone that it came from.... also dont forget to soft reset your phone after installing this .cab
message deleted by poster.
It worked on Tornado too
@OrganicM
Just to let you know that it worked on Tornado too
Maybe putting it together with the CClock will be an option.
Thanks.
Yah I like it but for some reason it seems to slow down my phone even when I kill every application I was running. Is there a reason for this?
Working like a charm now

Thats why use Rickys Rom, much better. Kavana gets props for starting this and Ricky gets props for finalizing the rom.
Damn! I thought I got most of the bugs out before I uploaded that cab. Now I look like a fool. lol !
OKay, aside from the obvious crap... how does it all work ?

It's odd that *I* would that intentionally isn't it ? LOL Well I didn't, I guess my cab packaging software went haywire. I reuploaded the cab in the first post.
The only bug i see is that it will not initialize a data connection to update the weather info. I already have to have a data connection started b-4 it will update. So i have to open a program like PIE or Opera, get the data connection started, end that application then do the update. kinda of a pain in the butt, but hey my weather slide hasnt gone away yet, so i guees that's good
Alright, this is the kind of feedback I want. I will look into that, as I have an always on data connection on my phone. Thanks.
Same here with the Data Connection, but as soon as I initialized my data connection and went to UPDATE WEATHER, it refreshed my home screen, put it back to the default "Green" color and the Weather panel was gone....? What gives with that?
That's strange. It must be facadehelper.exe misbehaving. What theme and background were you running before ?
All of your stuff Organic! I love your themes, add-ons, all that stuff! This is everything I have installed:
Chome LCD Mod
CHome_ICONPATHS
NRG Battmeter
rinku
NRG Sliding Panel Favorites
But this is where it get's confusing, cause I have switch Slim CHome everytime you put a new one out, so first I had the original "NRG SlimChome" then "NRG Slim Chome 2" and I just installed "NRG SlimChome II No border" now.
With all the confusion of these and not being able to "uninstall" them or whatever, I've been thinking about flashing my ROM and startin' from scratch again, but I don't want to have to do that.

Yeah, jdoggraz you are correct, that why I'm using Ricky's version 14 6.1 ROM, I personally belived version 14 is the best 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur. Now I have 27 slide slots, that includes The PudgeDaddy Weather Fix, plus the weather radar and MSNDirect News, Weather, stock report Entertainment and Sports and lots of other stuff. To The PudgeDaddy, your Weather Fix works like a charm and to NRG thanks for all your hard work.......!

I know, I wrote too many modifications lately. I'd say, start clean... There's no saying what you got in there now! haha
Which ROM should I use? Am I best off with Kavana's or Ricky's for your mods?
I want to change the input box on the Internet tab to have a clear border. I searched through the Manila files, but only found the input box itself and not the border. Can somebody help me about this?
I've the same think than you with Programs
I'ld like not have the black margin...
-Could someone help me ?
=(
I think you have to edit 6b23369e_manila and 496e9ec3_manila to get clear launch icons in the start menu. I'm using Dutty v3.3 btw.
It worked for me, i have attached the 2 files you will need to get launch icons without border. First backup your files! Disable Manila copy the files into your Windows folder and restart Manila. I don't have a Rom with launch tab, but it should work for you also. Pleas add a screen shot if everything is ok ^^... if not...DON'T ADD a SCREEN SHOT !!!
So... I won't add the screenshot =O
I have white areas with a zoomed icon instead of each launch icons. Sorry =S
(I'm also seeking for my part)
Zoomed icons are always good !! Can you please upload your original files, maybe there is some difference between our manila files, and i can fix it.
PrgBakTrns
I've found that wich permit to have a Transparent Background for Icons on Programs Tab
Download here
I'll do not create a new topic for that , and i still seeking for the adress box on internet tab...
@Ikkari : I joined them. =)
PS : I don't know why but I have an extension on the copied manilla files (.$8d & .$85)
You uploaded my files ^^ .... Maybe the extension is the problem that you got white areas with a zoomed icons, because Manila don't find the files. Anyhow i am glad that you found a solution, my icon margins are complete clear.
Damn Resco Explorer =P... I've moved the originals (and not copy) to restore my manilla then PrgBakTrns has overwritten them =S But that's OK ! My matter is solved ! Stay your problem. =(
Sorry for the inconvenience of my english... =$
Nothing still?
Hi,
Figured out how to change icons on wm6.5 using registry. When I add a new quick link on manila today, I see the same png as in windows start menu. BUT: when I change a png file and do a SR start menu has new icon, and manila doesn't. Nothing helps - manila keeps the old version even if iI remove quick link and make it back - the old icon pops.
so, is there any icons cache or something I can clear to make my new icon appeared on Manila.
Thanks
sorry, i've found it by my self: /Application data/HTC/ProgLauncher/*.bmg....
hope, it'll be useful for somebody else too
cheers!
yeah... it helped me!
thought I was gonna have to HR to remove a nasty icon I'd assigned to my TomTom sw.
Cheers fella.
