Battery icon in WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Here goes with my first post.
I have installed my own cooked version of LVSW to automatically add in the orange uk settings like mms and gprs on my SPV M3100, it also runs the extended rom from orange and adds in the orange uk today theme.
Here is my problem, the orange theme has a clock built in so it removes the one on the title bar by editing the shell registry, this leaves the battery icon but the battery always states 100% unlike under WM5, when you check the battery via system settings it is displayed correctly.
Any help would be appreciated

Why don't you just use 'batti' instead?
On another note, are you using a cab file to automatically add in the orange uk settings for mms and gprs? Currently I am manually adding the settings after each rom flash. If you do have a cab file for the orange uk settings could you pm me or post the file please

Hi rabdo
Batti still leaves the batt icon there or the clock, would like to remove them completely or get the battery icon working as I don’t wat 2 clocks or a dormant battery icon.
As for the settings I used _romkoch_v099a to cook a new rom and used config.txt file to auto setup the pp_ .xml files from wm5 and then autorun cabs in the extended rom, everything seemed to go to plan apart from the batt icon

Hi,
I have had exactly the same issue, have you managed to resolve it?
Cheers

How to remove the system tray

This is specific to the o2 orbit
After a hunt in the registry - i discovered this - to remove the system tray (bottom tray with battery and comm icons) in the registry
Goto HKLM\init and delete Launch 92 - value is trayap.exe
Soft reset and your done
You have to remove the o2 icon from the tray as well
Goto windows\startup delete o2 custom.lnk
Thanks. Is your today theme new from o2 or the old O2 bubbles with black base hue?

Its the old one with black base hue - i have the new one on the orbit with no bubbles if you want it - seems O2 ran out of gas
alright. Post it. I have been looking for those from my previous atom etc. from O2 but can't seem to locate them

Ok find both attached
Thanks for your effort. Victor
Hmm. My Artemis does not have either the Launch 92 key nor the trayap.exe anywhere in the registry. It's not from O2 though but not sure that should matter in this case.

Hmm thats interesting - when i deleted it, the battery icon and comm button was removed

Bottom tray icons
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
did not find them on my device - try yours
also could someone have a look in HKLM\init and see if there is some other tray app that gets launched on startup
meschle
I don't see other tray app (as far as I can tell from the exe names) in HKLM/Init and I don't have either of the Hermes keys.
It's no big deal, I'm not that fussed about it. Appreciate your effort though.

No worries - i will get to the bottom of it when i do my next hard reset and omit the o2 extras so i can see whats going on.

Update - No system tray present when hard resetting orbit with no o2 extras.
Artemis, non-orbit owners is yours present after hard reset? Screenshots may be helpful.

how to remove or change icons?

on the lawer part of the today screen i have 7 small icons, i cant find the way to remove or change them. is there any way to do it?
Go into registry and delete the Launchentry which contains the value "TrayAp.exe" >>> HKLM\Init\Launch92
alternate, hardreset your device and break the automatically install. put the needed files manually to your mda ( except the unliked SP_Tray117_1100.CAB )
bmod
thanks
thanks alot bmod.
This is great (I've never used those icons and they take up space) but I also use photo Contacts Pro and this put's it's own little icon in there...so I can lose the O2, the battery status and the conection manager icon, but I can't get rid of the photocontacts icon.
so for me there's no point in changing this in the registry
infact I tried this and as I knew photo contacts put it's own icon in there (thought it might remove them all). Tried to reverse the registry change, but now all I have is the O2 icon, not the battery indicator or the connections manager icon...anyone know how to get them back??

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.
http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/4wm-reviews-hardware/7982-o2-xda-orbit.html
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!

New Battery Icon and clean 3G for Majik and others

I ripped this from orange rom, it puts a better battery icon in the title as pictured, it also has the clean 3G icon included.
As i ran this on Majik I did not need the reg change to remove the clock on the task bar, but you will need to do this if you have the clock and not the battery icon as per Majik.
HKLM/software/microsoft/shell
Change: ShowTitleBarClock dword=0
copy phcanOverbmp.dll to your windows folder with something like resco explorer.
Then run the Orange_bat.cab and soft reset.
I have not had any other side affects fith using this on black Majik or LVSW roms

The cab file messes up the dialer - you will have to do some registry editing to fix it...
or just install the cab below which fixes it

I got white screen when make a call after installed. ?????
Fix
Not noticed any white screen but i am using the video dialer, thanks for the fix rabdo but that fixed only the first screen and not the seccond in call screen.
To fix the prob install the attached - soft reset ( touch dialer cab ), then re copy the .dll over to windows folder and soft reset.
Do this and the dialer will be fixed and you will have the new battery and clean 3G.
I will look into making a cab of the the first post and exclude the dialer problem alltogether.

i posted this up for fix ages ago, pls read this link: if you can do it with these files it will work!!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314005&highlight=file+combination
PLEASE READ THIS, I know what the problem is but i havent get the right skills to fix it, if you can, use the files on the link i have given and this will work!!
yep also tried the fix you where looking at, I edited the dll to contain both icon sets but when installed it just would not work ( even used the orange dll and as soon as i edit an icon then reinstall the dll it wouldnt use the new icons, maybe the dll editor is no good ).
I pulled the one of orange rom which has both icon sets already, then the problem is that it would use the dll for the 3g but not for battery without running the cab from the extended rom. this is where i have now run into the dialer problem, tempery fix is above but will attempt to fix it properly

MDAc2 - How to modify WM5

Hello Guys,
The last couple of days I was using this Forum to find out how to modify the appearance of Windows Mobile 5.0 which runs on my Charmer (I believe my MDAc2 is a charmer) and also I want to get rid of everything what's from T-Mobile on it.
This far I could remove the T-Mobile Skin of the DialPad and stoped the T-Mobile software from installing it self after the Hardreset.
What I couldn't remove is the T-Mobile Screen (I think its the Splash screen, but I am not sure) and the Windows Mobile logo screen after Softreseting my device.
But my main concern is that I want the digital clock to appear at the top right corner where the battery bar is instead (Like it was on WM2003 I think).
I tried the tweak where I modify the registry at HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Shell/BTOpt=1, 2 or 3 (DWORD)
but it just works with the "3" value which lets the clock appear along with the date, but the battery bar is still in the background, while having a window open. Once the window is closed I just can the the first two digits of the date in bold with the battery bar still in the background. It looks just messed up.
Using the "1" value, which I accually prefer, wouldn't change anything. Just the battery bar is visible.
So I hope you guys can help me.
Thanks in advance
Areadon
