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.

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

Thanks much. Vijay does it for me.
I cannot seem to find in the menu how to change the button allocation of calendar and contacts (default) at the bottom of the screen to something else. I've searched everywhere
I use the Soft Key utility....
Thanks, I remember loading before now
Why do I decide to reload my Vario2 the day before I fly off on holiday
I'm going to be up all night now trying to put everything I had before on it.
I'm waiting for T-mobile to send the web and walk configuration (internet) now

Try this. Gives you a today plugin for wireless and bluetooth
Close
The only thing I would like different is if it didn't open up the comm. Manager to actually switch it, if it made the change right from the home screen it would be perfect, anyone know of something like that???I found something called cicleBT that work well however its not on the Today screen home page, I have the HTC home plugin and can put it in the app launcher and its cool. Any way of making it so it works as a plugin on the home screen.

Nice! Haven't seen this one before.
can this be changed to be a plugin
Just want to see if there was a way of making this so that it was a plugin on the today home screen say just under the HTC home plugin aligned to the left side and have my calendar show up to the right of it??? A nice little icon there that is large enough to use my finger to push???
Anyone know how to do a mod like this??
Thank you I wish I knew how to do it, any help would be appreciate.
Cheers!!
are you lookin for freeware? b/c if NOT then spb phone suite has today screen components, 1 of which is like a button that displays a sub menu allowing you to turn phone, bluetooth, and wi-fi on/off and also flight mode. you can even tap and hold on each to access more options (ex: bluetooth modes, vibrate etc.) i dont want to sound like i'm selling this to you, but it's a great app. maybe the 1 app i install over every rom.
more info here
more screens here
search for a program called pockettoolman its freeware.
yeah freeware
Definately looking for a freeware to do this, not really wanting to pay for an icon on the today screen. I found this cab but can't get it to work looks like what I want but it don't work
HELP needed any good coders...............
I have found a quick launcher on the web with 5 icons to launch apps. Is there any coders out there that can manipulate this for me to 3 icons, bluetooth toggle on/off, wifi toggle on/off, and phone toggle on/off, justified to the left side of the today screen, again I am using an att 8525 with the att rom. Any help would be appreciated. thank you all in advance.
cheers,
attached is the cab for the quick launcher.
I am beating this to death
I am sorry to keep on with this, this is the last CAB that i will upload I really hope someone can help me with building what I want but til then this little plugin will suffice. Please try and help me with what I described above in the other posts. thanks.
the plugin you want CommCEntric v1.11 (hell I want it if someone can make it into a today plugin for pocket pc) is an xml file. unfortunately you need some type of a homescreen to view it. I dislike the homescreen concept because they take up so much space, but I love the look of comcentric)
hopefully anyone technically inclined can make it into a cab that will make it viewable on a pocket pc screen (not just smartphone)
CommCEntric v1.11, release date 2007/06/14
http://web.gemini.dynalias.net/default.asp?c=index_ek_cc
A home-screen plugin for the Smartphone to instantly turn on and off the two main communication sections of a device, bluetooth and wireless, without having to go into the settings or even bother with the slow Comm Manager.
Displays a bluetooth icon and (if available) wireless icon which, upon pressure, display a context menu to quickly control their status.
how to install
Download the CAB installation package from below
Make sure you remove older versions before you proceed!
If you had an older version, please reboot the phone after uninstalling it.
Copy the CAB to your phone and install into internal memory
Edit your favorite homescreen's XML file to include CommCEntric:
Customize the following line as you need:
<plugin clsid="{42661036-6FE8-4194-B549-3CC38D8B90C9}" align="..." time="..." date="..." > </plugin>
align attribute: Required, tells the horizontal position of the icon(s). Can be left, right, center or borders
time attribute: Optional, specifies the format string for the time display. Format string is as per MSDN specification (look at the lpFormat section). If it's omitted, no time is shown.
date attribute: Optional, specifies the format string for the date display. Format string is as per MSDN specification (look at the lpFormat section). If it's omitted, no date is shown.
Optionally, the plugin can also be translated. You just need to add some attributes, each one translating a specific string:
str_bt0: translates "Disable Bluetooth"
str_bt1: translates "Enable Bluetooth"
str_bt1d: translates "Set discoverable"
str_btconf: translates "Configure Bluetooth"
str_wifi0: translates "Disable Wi-Fi"
str_wifi1: translates "Enable Wi-Fi"

Has anyone figured out a way to make the commcentric app work for pocketpc??? Would love just to have the Bluetooth icon on home screen and be able to toggle just bluetooth on/off....any help here would be appreciate, basically bluetooth icon on the left with my calendar plugin showing up next to it on the right...
Cheers!
The easiest way to do this is to use cLaunch (http://pachome1.pacific.net.sg/~welic/claunch.html) which allows you put to icons onto your today screen. It's really configurable so you can just have a couple of icons, or your can have multliple tabs with many icons on. You need to play about with it to get it working how you want, but it'll do what you're looking for.
For the Bluetooth icon, here's a useful utility that toggles Bluetooth on and off without opening CommMgr. Copy it into Program Files on your phone and cLaunch should be able to see it so that you can have the bluetooth icon on your today screen.
An even simpler method is to stick BTSwitch in your Program Files and then map one of your soft buttons to it... No need to take up any screen real estate with pretty icons!!

HELP me
Where exactly do I navigate to to put the BTSwitch so I can map it to a button already on my phone, what a brilliant idea! Thanks, I just don't know what to do with it. I have placed it in several locations and went to map the button but can't find the file....I am dumb or am I missing soemthing.
Thanks and Cheers!

Sorry, should have been more specific!
Put the BTSwitch.exe file into Windows/Start Menu/Programs. You can then use the standard Settings > Buttons method to map one of the hardware buttons to the BTSwitch programme.
You can also map one of the soft buttons at the bottom of the screen, but will need a separate utility to do that... (eg Schap's Advanced Config : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317070)
Also, have a look at these threads for other ways of changing your soft keys:

Hi,
I had the same question, and someone did answer what you and I where looking for.
It was answered by: slavik @ www.pocketpcfreak.com
The software is called: HTC BT Quicklink
His link was: http://rapidshare.com/files/42718525/HTC_BT_Quicklink.cab
There is no manual, but play with it and you will figure it out...
Good luck.
Can someone help me I hope?
I've tried installing Flip it & Changescreen with a whole host of settings.
I've tried Registry settings
I've tried disabling G-Sensor
Looked in Opera Settings, and advanced settings
...but for the life of me I cant stop Opera from rotating to Landscape mode.
Its driving me insane. I found reference to a "stop opera rotating" cab but cant find where its hosted.
Its not the worst thing to live with in the world but having my page stuck upsidedown or in landcape because the rotation is buggy is pretty useless to me.
Anyone help?
I wouldn't mind this too.
I sometimes read lying on my side in bed - the auto-rotate makes this infuriating.
MOD EDIT
Moved this thread out of general discussion into Themes, Applications and Software forum
my advice would be to hold the phone in
one position
In Flip-It preferences add Opera.exe (or opera9.exe) to the program list and check only the 0 degree box.
What kind of registry settings have you tried?
Have you checked if Opera is listed here: HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList\ ?
If it is, remove it and soft-reset. Stopped rotation for me...
HI QLL
Thank you very much for THE great pplications on this forum
3 questione:
1- Is t possible to customize the notification icons (missed calls, sms, mail...) on the home page on the Max Manila?
2-Is there a way to put a short cut to toggle (ON-OFF) wifi, bluetooth and phone on the home page ?
3-Is it possible to put a short cut on the home page to switch between the different sound themes in the phone (normal. meeting, loud...)?
Thank you for the answer
There is SPB Phone Suite.
Try it.
It can do all the things you need (and some more).
There is only a problem; it doesn't work with TouchFlo3D.
