i just got my kaiser from DHL. its awesome!! so far everything is great except the hardward key (the light silver shiny key with the call/hang up) on the front is kinda loose and moves around.
my question is does anyone know if i can config or change the date display on the HTC Home? it now displays the date as 9/6/07, i want to change it to display the day and date.
please advice.
thanks, eric
Start / Settings / System....Regional settings - Check you have selected your country correctly.
Then you can also look under the DATE tab and verify that the short format is the one you want.
thanks. but it is now displaying the short date format. how to change it to dispaly the long date format that i chose in the setting? i want it to display thursday, septembe 06. 2007.

Hello everyone, i asked this question in the 'post your today screen' thread but got no answer so will try asking here:
I recently installed the htc home customiser and changed a few things around and generally had a play with it to see what i could create from my today screen. I then decided i was happy with how the original htc one looked so i changed it back. Unfortunately i have a slight problem.
Originally, under the htc home section i had tasks, appointments, tomtom, etc etc showin up and there was a scroll bar on the right hand side that allowed me to scroll down the list, all while keeping htc home in the same position at the top. Now though, i have a scroll bar that extends all the way up the right hand side of the screen whereas before it only went as far as the bottom of htc home. It now covers up part of the date and the sound settings button. When i scroll down my list of shortcuts, it now also scrolls htc home also. (i hope my description makes sense)
It is very annoying and also makes my home screen look ugly. Does anyone know how i can get it back to how it used to be?
thanks very much in advance!
You can fix this by updasting the registry directly. There may be another way, but off the top of my head, I don't know.
Check your entries under the registry item: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Today/Items
Under there, you will see an entry for every Today plugin you have available in your Today settings window.
Select one and you see it has entries called:
- Enabled
- Flag
- Order
- Selectability
- Type
under each one.
- Enabled denotes if its checked for your Today screen (1 is on, 0 is off)
- Order denotes the sequence it is on the Today screen. The lower the number the higher on the screen, so usually, HTCHome is the lowest enabled since it at the top.
- Type denotes whether it is one that is "movable" or not.
Type is the one that you need to modify. Type can be 0 (moveable) or 5 (non-movable). Type 0 ones can be moved up and down in the Today settings screen, where as Type 5 ones cannot.
The issue is that if the Today screen content is too much to fit on the screen, it auto adds the scroll bar. BUT it will only make the part of the screen occupied by movable activated plugins scrollable.
Before you customized, it HTCHome was likely a Type 5, and it was Order 1 (or something low since its at top). And all others were Type 0. Thus the scrollable section DIDNT include the HTC Home. Somehow, your HTCHome type is now 0, so it is scrolling along with everything else.
Hope this helps. Of course, manually modifying the registry has inherent danges, so be careful, and I take no responsibility if you mess up (disclaimer ).
This might be configurable and modifiable via HTC HOME Customizer app itself, but not sure...I just know the above is how I would fix it if I needed to.
Cheers for that mate, i will have a look tomorrow and see if i can sort it out.
in the home customizer go to the "options" tab and check "Lock plugin on the today screen" ... this will solve your problem!
Today screen keeps scrolling up
I don't know if this is the right post to ask, but you guys seemed pretty knowledgeable about today screen...
What happens is that whenever I scroll down (with the scroll bar) my today screen, it keeps scrolling back up to beginning screen automatically.
Only way to avoid this is to scroll all the way to the bottom and then it stops there. Then I can scroll up to see my today plugins which are in the middle (e.g. if you can scroll 4 times down - 4 screens of plugins - and I want to see my plugins which are 1 screen down the initial today screen, I have to tap all the way down and then tap up 2 times to see the plugins I should have seen tapping just 1 time).
This is so annoying. I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

This is for mbernstein:
You hijacked the thread but since the op had his issue resolved I can offer you just a little input. I had the same problem you mention. It started after I installed a few SPB programs. I'm not sure if it was the Pocket Plus, Mobile Shell, or something else but it was definately an SPB proggie. Once I uninstalled the programs the issue went away. I'm disappointed because they are good softwares.
Thanks. This should be the case. But it is a shame as Spb softs are quite good (otherwise).
Yes, I unchecked SPB today plugins and it took a long time (right one) for the screen to go "home". thanks.
Maybe I'm crazy, but I could have sworn that before I flashed tonight, my HTC home didn't have the operator and date across the top. I don't know what it is exactly, but something is different.
I've always had owner info,htc home, and battery status on my today screen, and before I flashed they would all fit even in landscape mode without a scroll bar, but now even with Battery status taking one line it doesn't fit.
I checked the setting in the home screen customizer and in Schaps advanced config, and I don't see what I could be missing?
Could it just be that I'm using a different version of home now? or an I really just going nuts?
Can you post a screen shot?
What ROM have you flashed to?
If the date is really long, you need to change the settings in the registry under HKLM\nls\overrides and it is the SDte I think.

Im looking for something buy i dont know the name of it.
I am no looking for the HTC homeplugin, but the one that comes on the att rom with the batter percent remaining, screen rotate...it has a bout 5 shortcuts in one row of today screen items.
thanks...i searched a lot
HTC Homeplug
Hello eskimochaos,
By the sound of your description, I think you mean you want the HTC Homeplug. If I recall, it has links to the Comm manager, Power Settings (which shows the battery level as a link to it), Screen Brightness, Screen Orientation, and Create New SMS. It takes up only one row of the today screen, and is not to be confused with HTC Home. Is this what you're looking for?

Exactly, not the one that takes up the entire today screen with the huge clock, the one that takes on line (same size as message today item) with screen brightness, rotate screen, new sms, battery percent etc.
Thanks Dave
Do you have a link/cab?
HTC Homeplug, Kind of...
Hello eskimochaos,
After a while of searching, this is the best I could find. It is identical to the original Homeplug, but with two key differences. First, at least on my device, there is a battery icon with a question mark through it that rotates the screen instead of the regular picture of the device, but this is only when it is in portrait mode. The second difference is that instead of the new sms link, a link to internet explorer is shown, and when clicked, shows "messaging_sms_new", and can not find the page. Other than that, it works as normal. I will try to see if I can find a better one, but until then, this will have to do. Thanks to Patr!k for originally posting this at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533.

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has managed to work out how to make the HTCHome today plugin pull the date from the long date not the short, i know you can modify the short date to whatever you want but this changes everything on my phone, i just want HTCHome to display the long date not the short
thanks
I suppose you tried Kaiser Tweak, Today Screen, Date Display.
Hope that helps.
Hi,
Is it possible to display the day information along with the date that is displayed in the TouchFLO Home screen?
In the attached photo, I have marked the region with a red rectangle. Would like to know is it possible to display the day as well in that place. Any registry tweaks or anything ???
