Notification Bar - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I haven't seen this anywhere else on this forum, but is anyone else frustrated by the notification bar (top of screen) on the TP2?
On my kaiser I was used to being able to tap on each icon to take me directly into the relevant screen (e.g. Mail, calendar appointment, battery status, volume control or connections screen).
On the TP2 every icon just takes you into 'Notifications' and then you have to click again to go into mail or appointments, but there is no way to the battery, volume control or connections.
Is there any way of restoring the previous functionality of this bar?
Also - (unconnected) anyone know how to change the text colour on the Today screen?
Cheers,

Yup.... asking same question myself.

Get a registry editor, and find the key HKLM\Services\NOTIFICATIONMANAGER\Flags. It should be 0 by default - change it to 4. This stops the HTC notification manager running and restores the default WM functionality.

Cheers - can you suggest a registry editor that works well on the TP2?

Try that

Works great. Thank you.
*edit* After hours of trying to find out why my text alerts (custom only) wouldn't ring. I changed the value back to "0" and my text alerts worked again. When I used the HTC stock text tones it would work, but not my custom ones. The phones ringtones and custom ringtones worked fine. Any ideas what would have caused the custom text tones not to work with this registry change?

I dont have that key

If you are still having this problem, post the ROM version and the registry editor you are using and I can try to help you make the change to your registry key.

Thanks for the response
Rom version is: 1.19.61.3 (51489) WWE This is the standard Orange uk rom
For the registry editor i am using either Schaps registry editor on the phone or Mobile registry editor by Breaksoft on my pc.
Thanks in advance.

If you install the Topaz Notification Manager it gives you the battery status & an icon that'll bring you to the battery options.

Sorry, I am not familiar with that ROM. You can try using a different registry editor or just use the Topaz Notification Manager like xnifex suggested.

Maybe I don´t get you right.., but you can change from 24 to 12 am/pm hours display in options. To open options you have to keep the touchscreen pressed for a second os so.

In agree, as I would also like that.
But I am sure that the date format is linked to your Regional settings. - I may be wrong though.
If you look through the threads you can remove the time from the top bar - no use duplicating the time.
Edit 1: I left the battery incicator in the top bar.
Edit 2: I found the HTC Home cab. and have now installed that instead. I now have the clock, weather and launcher installed on Sleuth's ROM. It has slowed a little but works super for my applications. Still faster than JJ's latest.

Long date format - here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides, SLDte = for example, "dddd, dd MMMM yyyy". By Regional Settings change you do with pre-defined list of formats, but that can be changed manually after.
To remove the time from top bar... I'm not sure that make sense: time will be not visible in other apps too, where Today's clock we'll don't have... but - it is here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell, set ShowTitleBarClock to 0x0 (0); and TBOpt - to 0x0 (0) too (otherwise will be shown the Battery Icon instead).
You guys might want to try the program rlToday, it can do these and more.

Hi,
try the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides\SSDte Key. This key should be already there and if you do changes there it affects the displayed date left of the Samsung Clock - problem is - you don´t have enough space for the long date.

Settings change from WM5 to WM6

Hi Everyone,
I upgraded to the O2 WM6 ROM last night and theres a few things I cant do that I could on WM5 and was wondering if someone could tell me how.
1. On the desktop i cant get the two buttons at the bottom to change from Calender on the left and contacts on the right.
2. The running problems icon has gone from the start menu options and I cant find it anywhere
I know these are trivial but you know what its like when you set something up the way you want and get use to it and then its taken away.
Cheers everyone.

Hi,
1. Just copy the file into the windows folder, do a soft reset, and go to start\settings\system... you will find the solution to remap the softkeys...
View attachment SoftKeyApplet.zip
2. Install this program. It will make an icon to the top right of the today screen. By this icon you can manage your running programs.

Is there a way to remove the battery indicator from the bottom right corner of the desktop next to the comm manager. Im using batterystatus which is more accurate so i have no need for it

Yes, that's possible. You shold do some registry tweaking... Hereby you can find a descriptipn about the registry tweaking: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Registry
Thanks again.
Can i ask one more, it will be the last.
When you go to text messages the left soft key is delete where as in WM5 it was new. Any way to change this back to New.
Thanks for all your help

Simply way to disable SMS threading on WM6.1 Vanilla

add
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\OEM\SMSInboxThreadingDisabled
binary
value set to 1.
restart, and it works!!!
this key disabled the sms threading, without disabling the sound and other notifications (as far as i know).
Edit: in the middle of the key, it should be "settings", somehow the forum forbids post this "Settings" key.
Thank you.
there is even no such key in vanilla 4.01
but i've made it - and it works.
thanks!
works, thx.
but u can also use: DWORD Value!

I'd like that too, anyone come up with a solution please let me know.
Just use schaps advanced configuration tool!
Other Option
HKEY_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings (The Space in "Settin gs" is somehow accidently added by the forum, don't make that )
and there should be a
DWORD named "SMSNoSentMsg" set to 1
change it to 0 and you should get your notfication. If this Key and DWORD does not exist, create it with the value 0. Should work then

Hi,
I had the same issue. Are you sure you are using "Settings" key and not "Setting s". I was using "Setting s" key and this was causing a problem for me.
Also if you are using the right key, make sure as soon as you change your registry, you open text messages. I did this and the change is instantaneous, not requiring restart.
Hope this helps.
THANKS A LOT! Works fine for me. ROM: Artemis Vanilla 4.01 WWE.
No problems with rebooting mentioned somewhere here - everything stays.
P.s.: somebody make this topic sticky perhaps?

I have made that registry change this way:
- using Total Commander as registry editor
- HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Setting already exists
- created OEM folder using Mkdir
- created key SMSInboxThreadingDisabled = 1 using +add value+
- then going to messaging --> text messages - everything OK, no threads
- soft reset
- added key has disappeared (folder OEM and added key are gone)
- sms threading is back switched on :-(
What am i doing wrong ?

It works fine with me.
I use Vanilla 4.01 and PHM editor. not sure if you have saved the change under Total Commander, or maybe you have some kind of software that prevents changing Registry keys.
martin.eu, please wait about 5-10 minutes after registry change and do reset after that time. Windows requires some time to write registry to the ram from the cache.
It seems that there is some problem with regedit plugin in total commander. Change made with PHM regedit and everything works fine ...

Remove Call history and/or Calender from home screen?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to make my home screen as "clean" as possible, and I'm wondering if there is a way to remove Call history and/or Calender beneath the clock?
Cheers
I'm searching for this for a while too. I still didn't find anything yet. Hope someone can help us
This could be handy

@Chef Ben
Ok, at the weekend I made a cab for me so I can install the "clean hometab" at my german diamond in one step, it also ereases the dotted line and the arrwos. So before you install my custom cab, you have to uninstall the single cab first.
(Note: with this cab you will also get a transparent clock background)

Elvelynns first post about editing the home screen is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2861270&postcount=590
In the file '7e640092_manila' (xml language file) you can edit/delete the text for the different entries on the hometab. Just open this file with a normal editor and edit/delete the entries (for example Date, text for "blank" callhistory- or calendar-row, not active alarm, ...).
Only the next entry in the calendar-row and the display of an active alarm cannot be changed with this methode.
You also have to know, that this mod only changes the visual appearance and not the "function" of the row, for example if you tab on the now blanked callhistory-row you will still get to the callhistory.

However, I don't know if it's compatible with Blackstone.

all that happens is it removes the dotted lines....

Only shows entries for allocating calendar and agenda. I need the specific wording so it takes me to the equivalent of the old manila programs tab which is now the new start menu with the Rhodium packages as my new start menu has disappeared (Long story).
