I want to know this too!
To my knowledge, this is not able to be done with a reg hack on the smartphone devices.
An add-on application (not free), X-Bar 3.2 will accomplish what your are asking as well as provide other functionality not native with smartphone OS:

^^ Just tried to check that link out but its dead?
remove the double http - it is not dead...
OOpsss! haha way to early in the morning for me to notice that =X sorry
and you guys are sure tehre is no way to add it without this program?
there's no way unless you add a program.

hehe funny tool. good idea to just put the time on the top bar when you are not on homescreen. i like it.
thanks
can we edit it to change it to am/pm or font?
thanks again, chris
anyway to have it up there all the time..that would be perfect, also can it be set to standard 12 format rather then military time ?

You can set it to 12-hour time by specifying the "-12" parameter. The way you do this is by creating a shortcut to the ClockOnTop_QVGA_WM5.exe file (\Program Files\ClockOnTop\ClockOnTop_QVGA_WM5.exe).
Here is an example shortcut file:
Code:
55#"\Program Files\ClockOnTop\ClockOnTop_QVGA_WM5.exe" -12
Put this in \Windows\Start up.
Only problem with this is that there will be a Chinese character appended to the time, and I am not sure how to get rid of it. If someone could search the registry for this program, maybe there is a language code that can be modified...
hey guys, thanks a lot for this program, its exactly what i needed. however, i'm really sorry, but i'm completly new to this, and i need to change it to the 12 hr format. if you could please explain how to do this in an easier way (i dont know how to make a shortcut?) i would really appreciate it. thanks a lot

hey guys, can somebody plz help me out, with how to change the clock to a 12 hr format... the previous post was just too complicated, thank you
omar

Ormaralt,
Follow the instructions on my site. Much easier for those who don't know how to modify shortcuts

i was just wondering if there was anyway to change the key combo to unlock the keyboard, maybe a reg edit or some application.
I wish there were. I hate the combination they picked... I always miss that stupid "star" key. I think it could be possible by altering the keymap file, but then it would mess up the star key and move it somewhere else. heh
Hi,
I've been looking for an answer to this question as well, but so far no luck. I had a thread going in regards to this with a couple attempts at work-arounds if you'd like to have a look:

What star key??
the *Z to lock the phone? it works on mine. If thats what your referring to.
kinda curious now... what key would you prefer? they all look the same cept the space bar...

In my personal case, I would like any key other than the current *Z key, as my *Z key barely works anymore making the unlock process extremely tedious
how old is the phone? Maybe it wold be best off to get a replacement from your provider. Just a thought.

I got mine in October of '07, but it wasn't through my provider (eBay). It worked fine and the malfunction of the *Z key is my fault (puddle ).
I would personally prefer the left softkey (like it is now), followed by a press of the second softkey... or even the spacebar
i was thinking the left softkey followed by the right softkey or maybe the left softkey in combination with the talk key or vice versa

But if there were keyholes everywhere, you'd still wish it.
Well don't say it's not gonna happen.... A developer could easily write a new app to do this. A keyhole in your roof is not impossible to do, it just takes money

They'd have to be just about the coolest developer to ever develop!
*hint hint* *nudge nudge*
yes. any developer who could code this what be greatly appreciated and will please a lot of people.
I got an idea.. let's ask Technology. I mean, if he was able to write his super bluray, megavision, imax, 3d, etc codecs from scratch, this should be a walk in the park for him!

Take a look to Automatic Keylock by maniac.
1. Disable 'Automatic keylock' option
2. Enable 'Screen saver' option
3. Setup all timeouts...
Now you can unlock your phone by left softkey or home button
That's some great software and I installed it on my phoen in a heartbeat. But how did you get it to unlock using the Home key or ANY other key ? There's nothing like that in the app's settings or in their forums...
I see how it works now. You don't use the phone's keylock routine... you let the screensaver come on and then it's unlockable by using the left softkey (or any key you want) or the home key. There's a problem with that though... It only requires ONE keypress. It would be way too easy for it unlock in my pocket that way. We really need a combination of two keys, that can be customized.
I have 12 contacts on my Cphotodialer. I wanted to know how you could add more. Say what if you wanted 30 or 40.... Would you just make a new registry entry and that's it. Know cpr or xml change? Just wondering. Think it would be nice to have some more.
Just registry entries. Add more pages, under hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer and hklm/software/microsoft/chome/photodialer ....
I tried to just copy the lnk file for contact 12 and paste it into a different directory so that I could change what it said and then rename it to contact13, but after I do that. Nothing happened in my panel. I updated the registry in both places with a page 13 exactly as the other contacts are in the panel. I want to know what I am doing wrong. If I have to create a new contact13h.lnk and contact13m.lnk files, how do you create a lnk file? thanks for all the help
did you change pages at the bottom of hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer it looks like
Pages Page1,Page2,Page3,Page4,Page5,Page6,Page7,Page8
I am looking for upwards of 20-25. I know that seems like a lot, but I like to have options. I just wish I knew what to do to make them myself. I don't want to have to depend on you guys to the hard work like some people do. I am just thankful to have the knowledge guys.

you do realize it will be quicker just typing in the first 3 four letters of any part of the name and the contact will show up. from home screen.
Yeah, but I still would like the option to choose. Plus, like I said it's nice to have the knowledge. "He who hath knowledge, hath power."

Thanks a million bro!! This totally did the trick. I feel so stupid for not noticing this on my own. Guess cause I've been going light speed for too long. Anyway, works perfect. Rock on ROM master.
Is there an app that can restart the dash at a particular time? Say 4:00, right before i get up so i will have a fresh phone in the mornin. I did look at CT scheduler but i would prefer a free application. Thanks in advance!

Don't think u can with SmartToolKit
You know CTScheduler is cheap for what it does, set up clean RAM every 6 hours, restart phone when asleep, text the gf without me having to use the phone and more........
I have been using snooze for about a year now with no problems, it is a free alarm program that can do about anything.
Here is where you can download it.

Yeah you can. Pull up the start menu and arrow right to get to the next page...then choose "My Schedules" then press the right soft button and choose to create a new schedule. You then have the choices of scheduling phone restarts, programs to run, etc.
Hope this help!

Hi guys,
I seem to be having some problems. I previously sliced roloracer's colored topbar theme with the new delicacy theme to acquire some great effects. but now i need it in .cab form for others who want to colored topbar. i have all the files and my .xml in a zip file. if anyone wants to take a look at it and compile the cab and tell me what the heck i did wrong it would be greatly appreciated. shoot me a pm or post if you want me to send you the file for you to look at. it's always somethings small.. and i'm sure i'm missing it. proofreaders make the world go round.
Send me a PM with the link & where the files go and i'll shoot it back
I know what you did wrong!
you sliced "my colored topbar" instead of making your own.

well you know... i spent all day at the state fair and then doing homework and by the time it came to photoshop time my eyes where getting tired.. so i saved the hard work and went to the coding... but apparently that requires mental powers that aren't there.. i swear i need to mute my email notification. every time i go to sleep i get a message from xda with a reply waking me up again. if you give me pixel sizes i think i'll create some amazing topbar images. all you have to do is make the cab.. since thats the part i seem to fail at.
