Bottom tray icons - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

hey everyone,
the vox is out for repair so in it's place temporarily an artemis.
Now because of a defect in de hardware i'm not able to connect to activesync through a usb cable so no rom flashing
Any way, it has the latest t-mobile mda compact 3.
So i'm costumizing the mobile a little; couple of programs and a different keyboard.
But what i realy want to know is: Is it possible for me to add some icons to the bottom iconbar?
There is a bar with a couple of icons e.g. CommManager, battery stat, switch from landscape to portrait and a couple more.
Is it possible trough regedit or edit xml files or something to add some??
Regards,

HTC P3300 System tray icons

Hi, i have a HTC P3300 and i was wondering if anyone knows how i can put icons on the system tray. for example i would like to put the tom tom icon on the system tray, so i dont have to keep selecting tom tom from the start menu.
iLauncher (www.sbsh.net) allows you to add icons/shortcuts to the system tray, along with many other functions.
Hi

PHM TrayLaunch. I wrote one too, VJTrayLauncher, but the former is preferred.

Utility to hide softkeys & icon ribbon on Today?

Hi,
I have a new Dopod U1000 (HTC Athena) which I like a lot. However, the Today screen, being in landscape most of the time, is cramped. I'd like to eliminate the Softkeys at the bottom (Calendar / Contacts) and the ribbon of icons right above that where certain applications may position certain icons.
Does anyone know of any registry key and/or a utility etc to help with this? I am thinking of something along the lines of Tweak2K2 etc.
Thanks for your help. Regards
Search for TodayToggle by VJ. Difficult to search though, it seems to be everywhere but no where.
Alpha for WM5

You can also use DciNoBar to hide the bottom soft keys.

O2 standard Apps

Does anyone know where I can download and install the standard O2 apps that are installed as part of the WM5 customization after a hard reset?
I've just upgraded my Orbit to WM6 and am missing these as they were really useful. I'm not intrested in other apps as I know these O2 ones worked fine and didn't drain the battery etc etc.
The 3 I'm after are,
1) Running Apps for the Today screen
2) Battery Meter
3) Memory usage Meter
4) O2 task manager shortcut Icon
Thanks.
These will be the ones I'm after, all shown on this review just before half way down the page in the screen shots.

Meters allows you to show up to three level meters for Battery, Memory, and Storage card. Each meter can be tapped on to show; a plain bar, the bar with percentage, or bar with Mb free.
Running Apps displays a simple line of icons indicating which programs are currently running in the background, tapping the icon switches to that program.
Shortcuts allows for up to five shortcuts to be configured for launching, tapping on the icon launches the program.
Task Manager - this is activated via the 'O2 bubble' which resides in the bottom bar of the today screen. A single tap on it brings up a brushed metal pop-up which displays the running applications and an options menu. The 'X' next to the listed applications allows each application to be terminated manually when required. Options allows you to select which O2 Custom Today applets are usable on the Today screen, as well as allowing you to define the shortcuts for the Shortcut applet.
They are all in the 'Items' menu of the 'Today' setup in preferences. You need to turn on Meters, Profiles and Shortcuts.
Thanks for the reply and they woudl be if I was still running my O2 ROM and it had run the customization to install them after a hard reset but I've upgraded to BEBE's WM6 ROM which doesn't have any of the O2 utils loaded.
Anyone else on where I can get these? Would anyone with an O2 Orbit ROM be able to pull the customization CAB install files out of their ROM somehow for me?
I just sent you a PM. I can email them to you.

Can you upload these files somewhere?
I just checked the ftp site and they are already there...
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Artemis/Extended_ROMs/O2_Orbit_UK_1.25.206.101_extended_rom.zip
Big thanks to Mark for that and the email. All loaded on and the meters runnings apps and O2 bubble task manager are all there and I'm almost back to where I was on WM5..
However SPB Time fails to wake up the phone from a screen saver locked state with sound, sure it'll flash up the screen with snooze or dismiss red and green buttons but no sound errm kinda makes it useless as an Alarm Clock and as I'm sure all the rest of you out there do I really rely on my phone as an Alarm.. I've been late 2 days in a row now because of this, no joke so.. errm kinda critical for me to get fixed..
Any ideas people. I've even un installed the paid for version I had and installed the latest version (trial) from their site

Hello,
At the risk of sounding stupid, I've just downloaded the zip file for the extended roms. I've unzipped it and gathered from the config file that I should place the cab files in specific locations... My question is, is there a (semi)automatic way of installing it? If not, should I follow the paths found in the config file? Also, there are a few files missing, ie the bmp files, do I need them? Lastly, what about the config.txt the file... where is that to be placed?
Sorry for the barrage of questions Noob here, just want to make sure I understand this the right way!
Thanks for all the help!

Adding icons

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!

SnapVUE like skin for HTC Universal

Hi to all!
Is there any skin for Universal WM6 which will be similar to this shown on this picutre?
http://windowsonthego.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/htc-shift-screenshot.jpg
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
