Hi all,
I've searched both here and google for a plugin to meet my requirements. I'm after a small footprint battery monitor which will sit either in the today screen section of my Orbit or ideally in the same bar as the start button. I've seen a lot that will work but they either seem to be large footprint or just downright ugly. Is there an elegant solution to this problem?
Cheers in advance,
Ben
*edit* I know the stock O2 software comes with a mini battery icon but I stopped the Orbit from installing all of the O2 software because I found it made the device really slow and unresponsive, so i'm running WM6 stock with the HTC settings for O2 MMS/GPRS installed. *edit*
Battery Monitor
Try Batti - nice little app that sits on top of the Start bar and can be customised to different colours etc.

Thank you! Thats exactly what I'm after, the version notes for the most recent version only specify compatibility up to WM5 though, but i'll give it a go and if it works i'll post back.
Thanks again,
Ben
I can confirm that Batti v2.1 works for WM6 even though it's not listed as being compatible on the Batti site.
One comment, it seems if you have the battery info pane turned on for when you tap the battery indicator icon, the calendar button on the bottom left of your today screen is replaced with a notification button that when you press brings up the battery info pane.
I've not experimented to see if turning of the info pane on icon tap will remove the notification button and restore the calendar button.
Ben
Try this one:
Should work also on WM6.

I very much like this.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278
Can anyone here please help.
On my previous ROM, when I tap on the Radio Signal icon, I had the option to turn OFF/ON the Radio (FlightMode), now I only have option of opening CommManager, this is quit USELESS as there is amongst others already a CommManager icon* on the bottom of the screen AND a DEDICATED CommManager hardbutton on my TyTN and after using CommManager I have to use X-Button to close the damn thing...
Can someone please tell me the Registry key where I can change this back to Radio OFF/ON... Or at least a shortcut icon I can put in HTC HOME plug. to switch Flight Mode ON/OFF without opening CommManager each time.
I flashed my TyTN (Hermes) with WM6 and I am very happy with it. Most of the little annoyances I had with it has been sorted out. Installed the HTC Home Plug, Slither200?s Cube, other 3G dialer, etc, etc...
*Any hack to get rid of this and the battery icon (I use Batty) at the bottom of the Home Screen???

Yes, here are the keys (from the wiki):
Remove the Battery Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power]
"ShowIcon"=dword:00000000
Remove the Wireless Manager Icon:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr]
"Keep"=dword:00000000
You can also use Schaps Adv Config, which automates most common registry hacks for you.
The problem is, if you hide one or both some roms can hang when booting up, so i recommend only hiding one.
Thanx

Thanx for the Re. My TyTN is very stable at the moment, so maybe I leave this icons alone (...for now...)

Guys
This is really annoying me now - I've fixed just about everything I wanted to fix (when using SPB MS3) but this glitch still persisted....I've gone back to a vanilla manila (say that 3 times fast!) with only changscreen and topbars installed to see if I can sort the problem but it is still there.
As you can see on the screenshot, after I have "tilted" any application allowed (via changescreen) I get this annoying little block glitch in the upper left corner of the device....when I tilt to landscape it stays there also until I soft reset.
I know it's not a mkassive issue, but it bugs the hell out of me now - anyone else had similar?

Sorry Wiggz I use various custom top bar icons but never get that issue!! Looking at the screenshot looks like the htc start logo icon is corrupt in shellres192.dll! where did you get the cab from?
I got the cab from this forum, however I have fiddled with numerous topbars with different start icons and all have the same. I recently went back to normal start bar (stock) and the same happened when tilting.....any more ideas would be greatly appreciated
Few questions:
- are you using FingerKeyboard?
- if yes, do you have it set to cover bottom bar in landscape mode?
- can the little block be clicked on?

Hi, Yes I do use Finger KB and thought it might well be an issue with this also but it's hard to say.
I have just tried to click on it and it shows the letter "q" on the middle left hand side of the display. So yes, it is an issue with finger kb - any idea how to solve it mate?
Thanks for your help so far.
EDIT: Changed the config to "show bar" on both portrait and landscape and that seems to have sorted it - can you explain why?
Hey guys,
I have just a little problem. I have flashed Dutty's HD WM6.5 Leo R6 on my phone and I'm satisfied with this one. But I have one problem. When I have activated the music tab in Sense and then want to change the music volume with the both volume buttons, appears a little grey bar instead of the currently volume status ...
I think that I just need some graphics I would put into the Windows directory...
Can somebody help me? Is it a graphics-missing problem?
I attached a screenshot for you, that you know what I mean.
Yours RayzerHD
did you installed some notification icons ?
i had the same problem. i had to delete the iconset.
Hmm i did install only this Iconset you can see in the top of the picture... I try it.
Thank you.
Edit: Thank you! It resolves the problem.
Yours RayzerHD
Bump
Im pretty sure theres a fix for this somewhere, I cant find it though, I have it on my leo
I've got to ask the dumbest question ever, but I've looked through all my settings and cannot figure it out. How do I change the background color of the clock and the task bar from the blue it is now (see attached) to black like the calender is? Sorry, but I just can't find the setting. Any help is appreciated!
I do have the new AT&T ROM with co0kie's Home Tab.

haven't heard of anyone doing that yet...with our settings...sounds like you would need a CAB to change those. I know there are some for the task bar that I have seen floating around.
Where did you get the ROM? ---> i just got the new official Rom
Is that the official leaked one?
Did you have to flash to install?
What's the Cookie's home tab?
Thanks

It's the official ROM off the HTC website. I've seen so many screens of the HTC Tilt 2 with the colors I want, I'm guessing that they may have been cooked ROMs. The Co0kie's Home Tab is the editor that allows for tons of customization of the home screen and options, it's great. Thanks for the reply and if you find out anything on how to change the colors, please let me know.
I Found It!!!
http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/Sense25New.htm
You can change the home tabs and a lot of the other Icons!
I used these when I had TouchFlo3D on the original ROM, to add the sense, colored slider: Touch pro ones are here: http://tp2.bfgreenberg.com/tf3d.htm
The ones for us on the new Rom is the first link, for sense ui stuff.
Where did you get the Cookies Home Tab?
Thanks
Just Tried the Icon Package for this one, they look great! No more Black and white look!
Will try the slider bar next
I found a few more, that I am about to try, here's the link where I found them:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529576&page=91
Couldn't get this Transparent Slider to Work...haven't tried the clock or curtains...
Noticed you don't have a Task Manager in your Task Bar at the Top Too.
This one is Great! Same thing we had in the Original Rom
Now we just need something to change the icons in Task Bar...add something with color!
This one will let us design our own slider with our icons of our choosing and set all the wallpapers to be the same...haven't tried this guy yet...but this looks better, just a little more work than just the transparent slider.

You can go here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-co0kies-home-tab.html and find Co0kie's Home Tab, works great for me. I'm going to check those links you posted and will get back to you on how they work. Thanks for the updates, too. I'll definitely need the Dutty's Task Manager. I already downloaded it, just haven't put it on my phone yet.

Thank You! I added this, happy to get some more quick link tabs!
I added the Icon Package and the Glass slider.
When I tried the Transparencies for the Quick Links...I tried versions C, BUT it caused the images for "Quick Link Contacts" to Disappear ... so i took it off, I haven't tried version A or B yet.
There are some glitches when uninstalling the Glass slider, since it is slightly to the right, you stalk slider becomes slightly to the right when you uninstall the Glass one.
Screen Shots show the Icon package...gives color to everything. Plus, in the 6th picture you can see what I mean by the slider being slightly to the right after uninstalling the Glass slider....a little annoying...will probably put the glass one back, I was just playing with different things, untill i have time to try HDWalls app...which looks a little more complicated.
Ok, Added the Transparent Slider Back in, and the App to remove the Blue background behind the clock.
First Pick is w/the Blue back ground and the others without it.
Slider is slightly too the right in All People and some of the other things, but not bad enough to cause any real issues.
I Installed the Transparent Quick Icons Version B, and it did the same exact thing as Version C, but keeps the icon Images for Contacts in Quick links, so issue solved.
Here are some shots to give you an idea.
Looks Great!
Wow, those look really good, Strange Shadow. I think I'm at the point where I've kinda got things where I want them, but now I must have that taskbar (love the colors and icons). Which taskbar was it? I tried one of the ones you posted, but I found several icons missing when I installed it, so I uninstalled it. I'll take some pics later today of what I've got now. I think the transparent or glass sliders did exactly what I wanted which was to get rid of the blue. Thanks again!
Latest Screen
So, here's what I've got so far. Was having some issues with the tabs on the slider having a blue shadow/background. But when I go into the contacts, it seems to disappear. Anyhow, I like your taskbar and icon packs, gotta give them a try.

I'm using tsowentaskbar6v3.1(lite).cab for the task bar (cab added to this post)
Haven't had any problems with it.
I went with the Version C for the Quick links, it gets rid of the shading around tabs and names, the photo issue I had earlier is gone now...I think I originally put them on in the wrong order, the slider is suppose to go last.
I noticed the same thing, with the blue patch after a soft reset, but I just go to contacts then all contact, then back to home screen and it goes away.
Now that I look, I am missing the Text Message Icon in this one, when I get a message, the original white message box appears...hmm....that's the only one I have noticed so fare...I might try a few more within the next couple of days.
I also noticed that the reception bars are not showing, when nothing is going on, I just have the earth with one tiny bar, but when making a phone call, they appear with the phone icon, I am going to try v6.2.1 and see if it changes anything
BTW, I have been installing these on my strage card, to save device space, not sure if this is the reason for any of this, I will try on the device too, some time later
Gonna give that taskbar a try and let you know how it works for me. I'm so much of a noob that if I have to change anything in the registry or something along those lines, I'm done with it. If it's not a cab file that self-installs, I won't risk screwing something up. I'd like to sit down and learn hands-on, but don't know anyone in my area. Thanks again.

Yeah, I'm the same way, if it's not an easy Cab install/uninstall I'm usually not too interested. I prefer the easy cab install to make sure nothing gets messed up.
I would do more if someone could show me a step by step, and show that it worked fine with their 'personal" phone without ruining anything.
Good luck, I tried 6v.2.1...it has the same issue, keeps the old wm text message, and doesn't show the signal strength...I'll try installing them on the internal memory...see if that makes any difference...which I doubt will...
Further down his page there is one for Wm6.5... I tried it, and was SOOOOOo excited when I found that the Signal Strength option Finally Worked!
But...the Speaker indicating sound/vibrate/silent is completely gone...
DUDE! I FOUND ONE! w/the signal actually working!!! lol
So fare the only thing I noticed is that the Text Message Icon is still the old white Bubble, but the Signal is working and the battery looks great!
Here it is: CAB
Just found another annoyance, the Volume Controls are changed a bit now, when you press the up/down side volume hard buttons, the image is slightly different, the bars indicating the Volume are now 3/4 the length of the original, with the first 1/4 no longer existing
Task manager and red X over lap sometimes too...but not a huge deal.
Screen Shots...nvm in my room, I can barely get two bars lol
