Removing icons (Bluetooth) on taskbar after WM5 upgrade - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I've upgraded my BA to WM5. Everything seems to run well besides that it is a bit slow but we know it is the WM5...
How do I remove the BLUETOOTH ICON at the bottom of the today screen? It was there in WM2003's taskbar. I don't want it to waste a space on the WM5. How can I remove it?
Thanks!!!

anyone at all? I've done alot of searches and no luck still..

There's a file called BTTrayCE.exe that puts the BT icon in the tray. See if it's in your \Windows\StartUp folder. Just remove it and reboot.

How to remove the Icon of SPB GPRS Monitor.

Hi friends,
I was very upset since on my today screen, since always there was an Icon covering the Icon of Signal Strength. Which was really annoying? Since sometime inside the buildings you really want to know the strength of Signal….
I tried to uninstall SpB GPRS monitor from Pocket Pc, but twice failed, may be I installed this software in the Extended ROM (Cooked); rather it was giving so much problem and I needed another hard task to reinstall it again.
Now with grace of God I got the Solution.
I changed it through the amendment in registry key as by Resco Registry Editor.
Go on HK Local Machine →→
Software
→Then SpB Software house
→GPRS Monitor
→Showicon
→DWORD Date to Change it to 0 instead 1 and it worked…Thank GODAny other suggestion or negative impact it can give to my software …let's share with me…thank you..
Another way to do this would be to run SPB GPRS Monitor from Programs. Then select Tools/Options/Icon. Where you can change whether the Icon appears or not, and also where on the menu bar it appears.
May be easier than hacking the registry.

moving icon GPRS
under tools->options ->icon it is possible to move the icon to the desired position.
Thought i mentioned this , because i think you didn't know.
Thanks
oh yes..i did not find it ....and it was so easy.....thansk for reply :? :?
overlapping on today screen
Hi Guys,
I downloaded the spb gprs monitor from O2 Connect yesterday, and as soon as I installed it the today screen went bonkers! All the programs work fine, but when I go back to the today screen, it seems to be overlapping. I'm not sure if I'm sending my message across right!
The letters seem to overlap different letters, such that I cant read it.
Can you guys help?
I am very new to the XDA2s, so pls explain in detail. I tried looking at the wiki pages, but there was nothing about this problem.
SG
Try changing the theme of your today screen - should sort out the screen corruption.
Hi
I had sent my XDA2s to O2 before i got the reply here.
i have now got it back from them, installed O2 plus and GPRS monitor (downloaded by O2 connect), and evertyhting works just fine.
They had probably done a hard reset or something. They havent changed any ROM version as am still running the old ROM versions.
Thanks anyway.

Need Task Switcher for WM6

Hi all. I am on the hunt for a decent Task Switcher app that will work with WM6.
I used to use Wisbar Lite and loved it but it looks yuck on WM6 as it forces the older (WM5 Close Icon)
What I need is Something that I can launch with a button and will show all the running apps in a pop up window and allow me to switches between them by tapping on an application icon in said pop up window.
And it must not change or add anything to the start bar.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Jules
pBar
have you tried the pBar application that is around on the forums? it's freeware and was based on the old wisbar. seems to work well, but i don't think i am using a full wm6...just the beta ish...or wm5 heavily skinned wm6....
do a search and you're bound to find it...

I'm running a PDAviet WM6, it has this in it's ROM. Tap and hold upper-right corner.
I love it when I can answer my own questions
After searching and using a bunch off apps and not having any luck I just tried Small Menu and It works 100% in WM6.
Meets all my requirements
More news or problems as I find them

gspocket magic
best app that does all you want
Thanks for the replies.
Vilem. please can you elaborate on that?
I am using Davit ver 3 and have not seen this app.
Sandrobber. Thanks for the file, I have tried the app before but it doesn't match or look good on the stock WM6 start bar. am I missing a setting or something?
So far SmallmenuPlus is the winner for me.
Jules
I have to say, people I know that have been running Crossbow for a few months, have found SmallMenuPlus to be great.
On an unrelated note, I've run SmallMenu pretty much since I got my first WinMob phone, and can highly recommend it. It's not perfect, but it's very useful.
PocketMagic is also a very worth (free) contender.
I don't use Wisbar (resource usage....) so can't comment.

Does anyone know a way to exclude some applications (activesync and phone) from smallmenuplus task list?
Killing the phone process during a conversation or closing activesync during a pc sync can be really dangerous/disappointing.
No, I don't think you can, hence my "It's not perfect"
Try writing to the author, he's still active, although the app only seems to get minor updates these days.

I've been using Dinar HandySwitcher 2.5 from DinarSoft for a good while now. It has the decided advantage that you can also remove the application from memory, or all applications from memory, right from the main screen. Most times the only way to clear applications is through the start/settings/systems /memory route or a hard power down.
It's not free but it is cheap, easy and effective. Don't know if it runs on W6.
Trying it now.
Works fine in WM6.
Thanks
pocket magic
you can chenge the pictures of the start bar in pocket magis but it takes some enginutity and time. your have to edit the bitmap. Play aroung with it enough and I'm sure you can make it even look loke a vista button

@ZaJules,
Which taskswitcher did you settle with in the end for WM6?
Hadn't seen this thread, thanks for bumping it up . So I'm trying SmallMenuPlus and this seems like a really nice (and fast) replacement for Wisbar Lite. The one thing I miss though is there is no soft reset in the menu. I like having that ability to do a soft reset via the menu due to the case I have doesn't have easy access to the reset hole on the side. Anyone know how to add this?
Also, does SmallMenuPlus not close apps when you press the X? Does it just put them in background? Can that be configured?
SKmenu
Skmenu is the one for me. Its not free(for the cascading menu part, which can be deactivated! ), but the taskbar switching works 100% with the demo. I have always used it, its very light, and its accessible 100% of the time= very quick(response speed is the issue i have with the rest of the apps mentioned). Although it doesnt come preconfigured setting it up takes less than a minute, and its easy enough for any level user.
The best solution for me. I also use an Alt-tab application mapped to a hardware button for easy access, like when driving etc...
about taskswicher
sry my poor english
Since 2004 and IPAQ6340 until today wizard/universal/hermes WM6 I have used HaaliTS TaskSwicher-2002.
Lives silently in upper left corner, shows additionally free battery and memory.
Dont needs install, copy exe, make shortcut, all )
Perfect for me and my friends (~25-30 units).
Have tested all here overmentioned progs, but find it best. Small footprint, etc.
regards
And what about this little tool??

BTW: I´m using ilauncher and you can put taskmanager to button. Works perfekt in every WM6

WM6 Phone - Contacts Visible

I have been recently messing about flashing various WM6 ROM's to see which one I might settle on, however I have come across one issue which annoys me so much that I would choose not to go down the WM6 route.
On the phone dialler I now have a bar going across the screen which displays two lines of my contacts. I don't want this. I want the usual phone layout that I have used for the past dozen ROM upgrades.
Is there a way to remove this? I have tried all the settings on the phone but to no avail. Will it dissapear if I re-skin the phone with something from Eten?
What surprises me is that I have not seen anyone else mentioning it on any of the WM6 threads - Does everyone like this new layout?
Vista Dialer
I also found this annoying. I downloaded the following
Jimm98y_vista_dialer.zip
in the development/hacking section. I think it is much better than the old WM5
dialer skin. You can see the screen shots there.
You will probably also need to edit smartskey.ini to allow the dpad to function in the Phone app. With the Underground ROM that was a pain if I remember correctly as it is a system and RO file. I ended up making a cab that created a \Program Files\Smartskeyand copied my smartskey files to that folder. Then stopping smartskey, deleting the shortcut in \Startup and then running Smartskey from the \Program Files folder.
What a PIA! Another reason I went back to the Orwell ROM (after I took the green comm manager with me..)

Cannot get rid of softykeys!

Hi,
I would like to get rid of the softkeys bar to gain extra space on today screen but do not succeed.
On my Artemis I used wisbar advance or dcinobar and both worked a charm. On Diamond, they work (I can see the last few lines becoming "thicker") but there must be some other program repainting them or taking some sort of priority upon them.
Manila is of course disabled. I have also tried the hacks in this forum and changed the registry to not assign softkeys to any program, both in Manila and in ordinary wm6 ("112/113"). Despite this they are still assigned to phone (left) and contacts (right) and do not disappear.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, need space for Ultimate Launcher!
Thank you
Graz
Hallo,
i have the same Problem, and no solutions :-(
thx menkul
The funny (!) thing is that even if I disable Manila and change the registry to not assign any program to softkeys they still remain labelled "phone" and "contacts" and open the respective programs! Again, it seems like some program is taking priority.
I wonder if anybody on light roms "Manila-free" are also experiencing the impossibility to shrink softkeys...

Can't remove Batti battery % in start bar.

After upgrading my kaisers os to a new cooked WM6.1 with manilla 2d on it, I no longer had room on my today screen for batterystatus. So, I decided to try out batti since it seems to be so popular as a battery indicator only to find that it puts a nice little battery % indicator right in the same spot as HTC task manager puts the x button. Since I find task manager to be slightly more useful than batti I decided to remove batti. The problem is is that even though batti has been removed and I searched through my registry and removed all leftover registry keys for batti, the % indicator is still there. Does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it?
Personally, I would open up the batti cab file and take a look at exactly what files and registry entries batti creates to make sure they're all gone. One registry entry that I can think to look at is HKLM\Security\ResOver\Bitmap\ and hunt down the dll listed there and see. Also, I'm sure you have soft reset since removing, but I'll throw it out there just in case.

Using "MSCEInf" will help you to find what was installed by the cab.
Thanks for the reply's. I did try opening up the cab and checking what registry entries were made, but didn't find any others other than the ones I had already deleted. Unfortunately I already gave up and just opted for a hard reset.
Hmm, Batti doesn't put such a thing here. Are you sure it's not another program doing it, like quickmenu?

No wonder I couldn't get rid of the thing. I didn't realize quick menu put that there. I wish I had known that before I did a hard reset and had to reinstall everything. Thanks for letting me know though, I won't install quickmenu again.

You can also just disable that features in quickmenu options
