how can we remove this Battery icon for the clock

Hi All
Does anyone know how to change the Battery Icon on the new ROM. This is the same screen when I was back using the Hima05.
Hey, Buzz sir, could you give us a flash on this? I have searched for the Reg but without luck.
Thank
Julius

I don't know how to do this, but check this post, it's a small plugin that replaces the standard date/time plugin with configurable format and internet (swatch) time support!!
http://www.pocketpt.net/forum/index.php?act=ST&f=6&t=8229
Here's a screenshot of it!

neat Though not seeing a download link (might have to be logged in, I suppose). But getting rid of the battery icon altogether would be nicest for the matter at hand

The download file is found near the bottom of the page file name: TodayTimeCab.zip (16.2k)

Hope you like it!!
I'm still improving it, so any bugs detected or sugestions are very much welcome and apreciated!

Looks nice,
an option to add the week number shuold be nice.

I can't really give suggestions as I've poured a bunch of cash into a project much like it - figures, two projects that are very much like it pop up right after I do so, and a long time after I openly requested it. That's life eh ?
But here's two bugs
- even though you seem to imply that seconds are accepted, it doesn't seem to update per-second
- when installing, add Selectability=1 to make sure users can navigate to the item with the d-pad/arrows and use the OK/enter button to 'tap' it so they can enter the date/time/alarm/etc. controls

I knew that, I did that on purpose because refreshing the screen that many times didn't seem to be a good option...
I'll test this one better and give it some thought

Yep, check the attachment, it should read "TodayTimeCab_0.1.0.1.zip"
(é bom ver tugas por aqui também!)

Good work! New Battery at TitleBar is really annoying...
A few suggestions, if it is not asking too much
- Internet Time should be inserted with proper syntax configuration (for instance 'i, HH:MM' or '@, HH:MM'). This way user could choose to have it or not.
- Font size configuration would be also very welcomed. I use Today font size at the minimum, but for TodayTime I'd like to see it larger.
- When Today screen displays a lot of items and the left scrollbar gets displayed, it overlaps left part of time string
I was able to overcome this inserting a few sapces at end of time format string. However it would be nice to have it always right justified.
(Há Tugas por todo o lado )

In order to speed-up confgurations after Hard Resets... I'm installing 'TodayTime' among several other apps, from ExtROM and customize settings via a cab file at ExtROM also.
It happens that 'date' and 'time' format strings are stored into registry, at keys with very unusual names (see bellow).
In fact they include special characters like horizontal TAB (HT) and Vertical TAB (VT), where spaces seem to be.
...it must be something automatically generated...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\TodayTime]
"RightFormat TodayTime(Software\\Microsoft\\Today\\Items\\TodayTime"="HH:mm "
"LeftFormatRightFormat TodayTime(Software\\Microsoft\\Today\\Items\\TodayTime"="yyyy MMM dd, ddd"
This causes a lot of problems to loaders (specially the VT), and in fact didn't find a solution yet.
Can't you use more "regular" registry key names!?
e.g.
"RightFormat"
"LeftFormat"

might be good to move the topic of the TodayTime today item to a new thread, and get this thread back on topic: removing the battery icon from the taskbar in AKU2 roms.

PIE "save picture as" saves very small pixilated picture

Hey all,
I've really been trying to find a solution to this and searched a lot. I think it has something to do with the USER AGENT thing, and changing the registry, but I can't get it to work.
So PIE loads all pictures on the phone, automatically squishing it or formatting it for the hermes screen resolution. That's fine, but when I save the image, it ONLY saves it at that small, pixilated crappy resolution. I can't zoom the picture.
I think this is somehow linked to the whole "can't post on myspace" thing, because I can't post on myspace either haha.
I'm using the Black 2.5 right now, but tried Custel's 1.2 and had the same issue. When I used Black 1.2 or 2.0 it was NOT an issue.
This happens whether or not I use PIE Plus.
I know where the information is on the WIKI showing the reg edit to change the user agent so the web thinks you're using a regular desktop browser, and PIE Plus has this option to change in it's options as well, but it's not doing it.
Is there some other registry key or whatever that i'm missing that tells the internet how to format its information?
Again, I searched and looked and tried and hacked and regged haha, but did not find a definitive answer to this. MUST POST TO MYSPACE ON MY PHONE!!!!
Thanks.

anyone? i'm willing to donate some moolah... i need to figure this out before i hack back down to 1.2

check your pm's

thanks. i don't like opera though. the scroll bar on the right doesn't work at all and i don't like the interface.
the only reason i'm persistent here is because it actually WORKED at one time with no problems! all i did was change the user agent in the reg and it worked after i set it to make the net think it was windows xp.
but on these latest roms, it doesn't work.
i know there has to be a solution here.
thanks though!

scroll bar doesn't work? which version were you using? Also have you tried minimo? Not a fan of it personally but might work for your needs?

minislo is too mo... I mean... yeah.
I bumped back down to black 2.0 and PIE is perfect! man I may have to stay here
there's gotta be a reason it works here and not higher...

sorry to up my own thread,
but with black 3.5 now, the myspace posting works, and gifs work...
but jpegs still display as formatted to the screen size, and when saving the images, they are much smaller in file size and resolution.
for example, a normally 111kb file is only 25k when saved.
there has to be a definitive answer to this!! and i can't be the only one trying to look at po... uh, pictures and they don't display well.

I've noticed this behavior when I have the Cingular proxy enabled. My understanding is the proxy compresses images in order to speed up load times. Once disabled, images appear, and can be saved, as they should be.
Perhaps you have a carrier proxy enabled?

ugh... n00b question of the millenium
how do i disable the cingular proxy from black dymond?

Weather for CHome... a complete solution.

looks pretty friggin good to me man. Is there a .cab file you can put together for this?

Putting the final touches on it as we speak

OrganicM said:
I was able to get the TestUIPlugin to work and update in realtime. I used mortscript to get values from "weather watcher mobile", which is free. Currently, you run the script, it loads weather watcher, copies over the forecast data, updates the registry entries for testuiplugin, updates the plugin, and closes weather watcher in the background. It's not very elegant right now, because it uses mortscript. Maybe someone can write a standalone exe based on my work.
Here's what it looks like right now. Any ideas to improve the layout ?

I was wondering the same thing as Pudge. It may not look exactly like you've mapped it out in your head...but it looks pretty darn good to me. A .cab would be great, Organic.

One question... This won't somehow change our home layout to the CHome Slim, will it? I like my festively plump slider panels the way they are! lol I just want the weather .cab.

Haha! fesitvely flump? I thought i was the only one who used that term!

Hahaha Actually it WILL, because I wrote this for myself. Buuuuuut, I will make an original version as well

Hey OrganicM, It looks sick but if i could suggest something, then it would be the title, instead of making the "temperature" the title, why not make it My Weather or something along those lines and underneath it - you could make a line for the temperature, upto u - otherwise it looks amazing - Keep up the good work and post a .cab when ur done
Good Luck !

I know, that's what I wanted to do initially, but this damn TestUIPlugin, will NOT let me do two lines of text!! Only thing I could do, is append the current temperature at the end of the forecast blurb... But it wouldn't really make it stand out.

About implementing it to any panels, slim or not...
Hi OrganicM!
Nice job you done with this app.
I took a look at your cab _setup.xml and I was wondering what needs to be changed to the Chome_320x240.cpr for the app to work, since I prefer my chubby panels and its icons and overall layout (just a matter of taste, you know).
Perhaps you could post a little step by step guide for the ones like me who want to implement it by hand, with the needed files in a single compressed file (zip, rar, your choice really, I've already got them from the cab ).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

If I'm not mistaken, I thought he intended to post the .cab for the "chubby panels" soon anyway. I am on the same page with you, Cassiano. I like my plump panels, but I'd like to install Organic's .cab too. I don't necessarily wanna change anything in my homescreen layout--aside from including the new weather panel.

Guys... read the first post.... There might be something there for ya.

Is anyone else have trouble updating the city? I'm trying to get Seattle on here, but it won't find it by name, and if using the zip is keeps showing sunny Las Vagas... That sucks, mainly 'cause it nice there and not here... Thanks.

This thing is awesome. Just what I needed. However, is there a way to remove the photo and media pannel? I tried to edit the XML file but it doesn't change. Any ideas?
Thanks..

Just set the plugins as "disabled" right in the registry.
Updated first post again, this time I added a "last updated" time in the top right corner. This gets updated everytime the weather script runs, so you have an idea how recent the info is.

Alright...for some reason it won't allow my city to be displayed when setting up Weather Watcher. It'll take me to a blank IE screen. I made the change to my city in 'Options', like instructed. Then tried to open 'Update Weather'. It would take me back to the blank IE screen. On the homescreen--the weather sliding panel is blank and just has a sun in it. Is there something I'm not doing?

Are you sure you're spelling it correctly ? Mine finds it right away.

im back and full of dumb questions

well i just got back into the dash game after not having a dash for what seemed like forever. and i guess i figured i would just remember everything i knew before...well i was wrong so here goes with the noob questions
1. i checked the chome config thread and i figured this question would have been on there for the noobs. how do i edit the myfaves panel. i wanna add a contact. i go into the config program and i know im supposed to add something to the action url but im not sure what. i tried ...exe;last, first and got nothing. what am i supposed to add there? and same for the sms soft key. i remember using total commander but i dont remember much about it.
2. this may seem silly but how do i edit all the icons on all the panels? like the ones for the clock panel and stuff? i go into the reg and try to edit the icon path but get nothing. and it confused me cause the default was 5021;5021 or something like that. how do i change them with my own .png files?
sorry

First off , welcome back to the dash!
Now to edit the my faves panel if I remember correctly, on the actual my faves panel, scrool right to page 6 and that should be the settings for my faves, and you should be able to edit them there.
Now to edit the icons on the panels , you have to edit the bronzeres.dll file on your windows directory, you need a program on your pc to view and edit .exe's and 'dll's (extension files) like PE Explorer. I can do this for you if you want, pm me if you want me to and I'll give you more details.
You can also check my new theme for dash using new WM 6.5 on my signature below.

glad you didnt flame me for the silly questions. i figured out how to add the contacts last night like 30 minutes after i posted that. i didnt realize it was as simple as just adding the phone number to the action url. i was ready to go in with total commander and so some serious work lol.
ill take a gander at your 6.5 theme, i got the 6.5 wait cursor and i like the look of that. and ill look into the PE to edit the .dll files.
thanks for the help!!

titanium opera panel for opera 10 help

so, I havent found this yet, so Im posting this asking for some help. Im trying to get showaco's opera panel for bookmarks to work with the new opera mobile 10 beta 3, for smartphones. finally got the panel to show after editing the default.plg for my screen res and manually putting it into my cpr. Editted the registry to read what I wanted it to on the default panel. Unfortunately I know little to nothing about writing mortscripts. Someone posted where the bookmarks are kept in opera 10 so I changed that in the mort and where my opera 10 exe. is in it. Seems my knowledge of mortscripts are nill, Im going to assume the mort is suppose to change the first page to the first bookmark and add a page for each bookmark. Unfortunately, I get the panel up and the registry editted, I run my editted mort and it just deletes the the page in the registry so I lose the panel as well.
so does anyone wanna help with this?
edit:
so, thinking again. why stop with opera 10? lets see if we can do this with opera mini. skyfire as well.

The bookmark files are no longer clear text with Opera 10
You would need to be able to read the new format of the bookmark files

so, i guess im going to need a lil more help than just someone who can write a mort huh? lol

I am trying to tackle this..
I would be happy with just using \program files\opera mobile 10\profile\datastorage\6\dials.dat to get the favorites. the problem is since there are non ascii characters in the file I have been unable to read the file into a variable for further manipulation.
Anyone know how to either replace all non ascii characters with spaces using mortscript or any other WM utility???
THANKS!

awesome
good to know someone else is on this as well. i have little to no experience with mort or programming so, its left me limited to only finding the "miracle" answer. after raidzero's post though, it did narrow my search. Ive come across a couple of sites that might help someone with more knowledge in writing something. a couple have an "expression" thats said to filter out non ascii characters. if someone is serious about this let me know and ill post the links. i do most of my searching and posting on my phone so, until we actually get something for our bookmarks that would be a fun task lol

yes yes yes please post anything you have regarding removing non ascii characters from a file!!! once that is done I am confident I could cob together a script to make a favorites panel for opera 10. :-D

Thanks for the info, the excel one seems like it might work, but doubtful. The rest are all for different languages, if I knew any C I would do it in that and make my whole panel just use native code instead of mortscript..
but I don't. so the search is still on. I know there is someone here that could make a program that just took a file and removed the non printable characters from it!
then it could be called int he mortscript and life could go on. I will check with JMZ, he knows how to do stuff like that I think.

ok, sounds good
alright. sounds like a plan. so if not "C" is there anything else you are familiar with other than mortscript? thatll help narrow my search

I do not know C, well, I can do maybe hello world. but that's about it. For something as simple as a string manipulation it can't be that hard, but you never know.
Maybe I might just download the bloodshed dev C++ IDE (free) and try my hand at it ....
edit: so bloodshed is gone
visual studio I guess, maybe my company has a license for it.

let me know
if not, mine might. also, i might be able to find one cheap. or i might even have a copy. my old man always makes me a copy of everything he buys and downloads so, I got a couple towers of cd's of software i havent even cracked open lol
