What is hiding the right half-inch of the title bar???

I did the 2.17 upgrade tonight, proceeded to install my old software, ran into problems with a persistent "notification" that displayed nothing when I clicked the notification button...so I've uninstalled almost everything - got right of the notification issue - and I'm planning to get some sleep now before reloading.
BUT...in the meantime, I'm down to a pretty barebones machine now. A few things left, including:
- resco explorer & registry editor
- MemMaid
- OpenNETCF SDF 1.4
- MS Voice Command
- Wizard Registry Tweaks by xelencin
- Total Commander
(last two from the ROM)
So...as I have the Settings / System / Remove Programs window open, I can see the Cellular signal strength icon in the title bar, and in the upper right corner, the "ok".
As soon as I return to the home page, right half-inch of the title appears to be painted over with the same blue as the title bar itself -- from the right edge over to about half way through the cellular signal strenth icon.
Any ideas about this???

I have this same problem and the only things i have installed are:
- OpenNETCF SDF 1.4
- Wizard Registry Tweaks by xelencin
And I mean, those are the only things i have installed. My guess is that the registry wizard is having problems with the new battery icon thats now on the title bar after upgrading to the new i-mate rom

Try clearing the option to show time, or show date and time, on the taskbar in the Registry Wizard. That should solve it.

Thanks -- I'll have to try reinstalling Registry Wizard for that (unless you know what particular key it changed? Maybe I can find it in the forum...). I had uninstalled Registry Wizard while trying to debug my setup, because of seeing the "Exception" warning every time I ran it..although it *seemed* ok after click "ok" on the warning. I suspect something was wonky with the initial install of it, since I tried it first (accidentally) without opennetcf, got a warning that it was needed, then proceeded to install opennetcf, after which Registry Wizard *seemed* ok....sort of.
I'll try reinstalling Registry Wizard and seeing if it works now.

Messier and messier. Although I *thought* I had uninstalled Registry Wizard, something must be left behind...an attempt to reinstall gave me an error to the effect that a config file couldn't be opened. Looking through directories and trying to make sense of the setup log. I'd like to fix this if possible...if not, I guess I'll just reflash and start from scratch, although I'd really like to get to the point where I can undo individual changes to the system rather than having to resort to starting from scartch each time.

Try this:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Key: TBOpt (dWord)
Value = 0 (show nothing)
Other values:
1=Time
2=Date
3=Time and date
Also, by the way, no need to reflash in the future. Just Clear Storage.

I had found that in the WM5_Tweaks_Other thread and that's the way it's set now (and I just verified after doing a soft reset). Right next to it, I'm seeing a value "ShowTitleBarClock" set to "1". Going to try turning this off and seeing what it looks like. I've browsed the registry pretty deeply, and don't see too many other things that appear to be related (but I know these can be pretty obscure).
I also verified that it's nothing with a particular skin. I switched, for example, to "guava bubbles", and oddly enough, the title bar speaker icon and right half of the signal strength icon show up - for about a second, before whatever it is obscuring them appears. Also - this only seems to be happening on the today screen. Rebooting now...

After making the change, soft resetting and verifying that the change is actually in the registry, I still see this (sorry for picture quality - but I think it shows what's masked - right side of signal strength icon, and the entire vol/speaker icon:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
btw: thanks re: "clear data" tip - I hadn't quite got to the point where I had reflashed, but I'm close! If it gets to that, I'll clear data instead - thx.

just to check.. did you set the TBOpt value to 0 (zero) or 1 (one)?

I had set it to 0 (zero).
The weird behavior was most visible in the moments after change themes (using WM's own facility for that). As I mentioned above, switching from default, for example, to "guava bubbles" (built into WM5 distribution), I would see a complete normal title bar - for about a second or two, and then something would apparently be written over it in the same color as the title bar. In the picture, you can see that whatever it is only half covers the signal strength icon. If I let the phone site quietly and watch, I can see a momentary blink - as if the screen is getting repainted, and this "mask" is getting refreshed on top of the title bar.
I finally gave up trying to fix this, although I'd love to know what it is (was). Besides this weird painting problem, nothing I did seemed to get Registry Wizard to install properly again. I continued to get the "exception" warning on startup - so something apparently still wasn't kosher, even though I pulled out all the dirs, files and reg entries I could find that seemed related, and also removed opennetcf. I wish WM5 uninstall would actually do a more thorough job!
I finally did a "clear data" and all looks correct once again -- except that I have to slog through reinstalling all my apps -- and I'm HOPING that I don't scrag things again in the process.
Are there any new known app incompatibilities with this version vs the shipping TMo version? For example - the notification issue was experiencing disappeared once I uninstalled iLauncher -- but I don't know if that means anything, since the install itself might have been messed up. I've got Wisbar 2.6 installed and humming along happily, and I'm about to install:
- PocketBreeze
- ContactBreeze
- iLauncher
- MemMaid
- OpenNETCF
- RegistryWizard (should I?)
- PocketZenPhone
- MS Voice Command
- Resco Explorer & Reg Editor
- some Juni skins
BTW: as an aside - WiFi connect is SO fast with this new load! I've got a Belkin "pre-N" setup with WPA/TKIP, and this found it instantly when I turned on WiFi, connected right away, and a little speed test I ran via DSLReports showed me getting about 1100Kbps down into the MDA. Sweet!
More later as I reinstall my apps one at a time... keep your fingers crossed for me -- or if you see something incompatible in my list, please let me know!!!
thx again for everyone's help with this, and for the 2.17 ROM installer in the first place - good stuff!
btw - Wish I could edit the "date" bar in the Today screen, but I can live with that - and may simply turn it off, since I've got Wisbar Adv 2 installed, showing the date and time in the title bar -- only missing the word "Saturday" if I turn off the Today "date bar".

well, that might've been the problem - should be set to 1, 2 or 3 - never 0

OK...can't argue that, just surprised after having read other posts here (and elsewhere as follows:
Open the PPC registry and look for the following key
\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Add a D_WORD Value TBOpt and make it equal to 3.
0 - NO time displayed
1 - only Time is displayed
2 - only Date is displayed
3 - Date & Time displayed

I'm going to try not touching it by hand right now. Instead, I'll be installing my apps one by one, soft resetting in between and seeing exactly what works and what doesn't.

Mine is set to 1 with no problem. Sorry I wasn't more clear.
Zeboxx. What problem does setting to 0 cause?

Well, normally if TBOpt is set to zero, the time will disappear from the task bar, and you may be left with a rectangle obscuring icons (which slide to the right as the time is now gone). This is on pre-AKU2 ROMs. Not sure what happens with it on AKU2 ROMs as they poked at the time thing on the taskbar there in horrible ways anyway %) And, of course, if you use some taskbar overlay thing like wisbar advance, then that whole TBOpt thing doesn't apply anyway.

Wow...this "rectangle obscuring icons that slid to the right" sounds exactly like what I was seeing in the WM5 title bar on the today screen.
Does the obscuring rectangle obediantly disappear when you change TBopt back to a non-zero value? (not that this matters for moment for me, since I started over and am gradually reinstalling everything now)

it should, yes. Again, I don't know how it reacts with AKU2 exactly - with AKU2, on the Today screen, there's a big fat battery meter instead of the clock anyway; but it should still apply to the clock when on other screens.
Edit: let me take a few screenshots for your consideration -_-

See attachment for examples of the TBOpt setting.
Note that the SSDte format in use is
Code:
"ddd/d "
The spaces at the end are to make sure that the OK/Close rect doesn't overlap with the date.
It's easy to see that with a value of '0', a rectangle gets placed over the icons (which slide to the right as the time/date is gone), obscuring them entirely or partially.
Also, with a value of '2', there's a small vertical bar present - not sure what the deal is with that
I normally use the value '3' so that both date and time are present.

Excellent! Your picture on the left is exactly what I was seeing -- great explanation too. Also found the detailed code explanation on the microsoft site, although I probably won't be messing with it, since Wisbar Adv takes over title bar formatting. But this is great to know. Amazing, though, the way MS implemented this -- sure feels like a hack job placing an obscuring rectangle on TOP of the title bar. That's the kind of trick we used to play when we were first experimenting with skinning Windows apps years ago on the pc...Txh again for taking the time to detail it out.

Hi,
I try to explain a similar problem in english
I would like to use contactbreeze (v 1.2.0.1) in full screen mode.
This is what happens:
As you can see the contact on top of the list is not visible because the top bar is overlapping it.
I tried all three reg settings but it didn´t help.
Do you have any suggestions for me ?
Marcus

This is a bug inside of contactbreeze.
They said they will fix it in the next release !

How to get date whit time on top bar

i did had the date and the time on the top bar befor the hard reset, but do not remember how i did it.

I achieved it via a reghack... See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=188032#188032 for my working values.
Also, my reply is in the context of koksie's response:
Koksie said:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell
- add dword called "TBOpt"...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The numeric values Koksie provides to change the implementation of the clock are wrong for the Alpine, so I went and worked out what they are for the 2i (which is in the post I directly link to above). You can achieve this fix with PHM Regedit (also in that thread) or any other registry editor.

Another solution would be using a third party program...
Easytweaks comes into mind...

try out this registry modification, see whether it helps
To include both time and date in taskbar
You'll get time and short date on your right top of the screen, rather just displaying time. Meaning, you can remove your date item on your today screen.
Code:
Phase 1:
1) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
2) Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
3) Soft-reset
Note: If u ever get bored of the date display, rid it by deleting the TBOpt key.
Phase 2: IF U NEED THE CHANGE THE DATE FORMAT:
i) Just go to Settings>Regional Settings>Date>Short Date
ii) Choose "dd-MMMM-yy" or whichever format u prefer.
iii) Click "ok".
cheersss

If you are not that comfortable with editing your registry, you could use a 3rd party software called Tweak2K2, I used that to get the time and date on the topbar.

AKU 3.3 V2 dailer skins + skin Development Pack

I have edited some existing skins for the new AKU 3.3 V2 ROM (posted as sticky).
To keep the rom thread clean I opened a new one for the dailer skins.
This is for AKU 3.3 (v2) Rom ONLY
Already build:
Eten skin blue
Based on Geo77's Eten Skin:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Cab Link:
Download Here
Classic Grey Skin
Based on Jakaroe808's classic Grey skin (almost completely redrawn)
cab link:
Download old release here
NEW RELEASE:
Classic Grey Light (new release):
- No system fonts on dailer (landscape or portrait)
- So button text is better alligned.
- light footprint: uses build-in-rom files for smartdail, and backgrounds are png in stead of bmp
- Only 306 KB !!
These skins have smartdail capability.
Known Bugs:
The text/numbers are out alignment first time after reset.
When you slide the keyboard open and close it again it will re-align, and it doesn't happen again untill the next reset.
I STILL have no clue what is causing this..
Skin Builder
I have included a "skin cab builder".
AKU33_skinbuilder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey.
AKU33_skinbuilder_eten.zip is the one based on Eten Skin.
Classic-grey-light_skin-builder.zip is the one based on Classic Grey LIGHT
Extract the zip, edit the BMP's in the "windows" folder.
Do not RENAME the windows folder OR it's content!
Double-click on the make-cab.bat, and a cab will be build.
To personalise the cab, edit the dailerskin.inf
Have fun and post the results here

Some added information
Shamelessly copied from Tofclock in the buzzdev.net forum..
This is about the registry settings, so you can modify the inf to your personal needs:
For VerbButton and talkendbutton :
"textFlags" is the text position on button :
dword 0 : top left
dword 1 : top center
dword 2 : top right
dword 4 : middle left
dword 5 : middle center (default value)
dword 6 : middle right
dword 8 : bottom left
dword 9 : bottom center
dword A : bottom right
"textColor" is the text color when button is Normal or Pressed
dword value : BBGGRR (default value is 0 (000000))
where BB , GG , RR is value 0 -> FF
eg. FF0000 -> blue color , 00FF00 -> green color ...
"textDisabledColor" is the text color when button is Disabled
same as above for dword value
"textRCMLStyle" is the text font style on button
dword 0 : small size , normal
dword 1 : medium size , normal
dword 3 : small size , bold (default value)
dword 11 : medium size , bold
dword 20 : very big size , bold
dword 21 : big size , bold
dword 22 : big size , normal
For dialbuttons
minor prefix is for letters
major prefix is for numbers ...
colors are same as above
RCMStyle are same as above
Flags are same as above but letters and numbers are not superposable
Another dword value to set order of dialbutton text :
"textLayoutFlags" :
dword 0 : Numbers , then Letters
dword 1 : Letters , then Numbers
dword 2 : just Numbers (No letter)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
[EDIT] 01.feb.'07:
Found a way to disable Text/numbers in the dailpad:
"MajorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
"MinorFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
On other buttons, to disable system text you should use:
"TextFlags"=dword:000f0f0f
[/edit]

Guys
I have tried bith the blue and grey dailers. The grey dailer doesnt match up properly.
the the outer edge of the box containing the 1,2,3 etc goes over the last dailed number bit.
just thought i would mention it in case others are having the same issue

Superom Dialer Skin
Has Anybody Gotten This Skin To Work With Faria's Lates Rom. For Me. It Is One Of The Best Skins Around. Though I'm Currently Using The Gray Skin Spoken Of Here. Thanks For The Work You've Done So Far.

Used the grey skin today... same thing about misalignment.
Just tried blue... it won;t close properly. Tried "close all" from both iLauncher and Oxios also, which both closed the phone screen but seemed to leave an instance in memory. FreeUP RAM from SK Tools seemed to close it, but then on re-opening phone the text is misaligned.
Will keep playing with it.

Oh, also, smart dial on the blue dialer only seemed to work once.

Soft reset, and now the text seems permanently misaligned on blue.

I haven't encountered these problems with blue one yet.

I'm using the blue from the cab files. not from the skin builder.apart from the given open close keyboard . there is nothing wrong with it. it stays aligned and smartdial works all the time. I will try to use the blue from skinbuilder tonight to see if there are other problems. I actually built a new skin last night but the cab wouldn't load. also I noticed that that my new cab was much smaller than the blue one. I must have missed a step somewhere .this leads me to my other problem. all I want to do with the blue skin is to add some words to each key. ie where it says abc2 I want it to say bhai2. where can I change this? thanks

Using the grey
Works very well for me.
The issue with the misalignment is a pain, but I can live with it until someone posts a fix

Maybe this helps?

I am my work now, so I can't give "full service" to you guys right now
However;
Please try the following: go with an registry editor to:
HKLM > security > phone > skin > dailer > Portrait > Dailbutton
add new string: "textFlags" with dword value: "4"
You can do this for Landscape also (There the misalignment is even worse)
This should allign the dailbutton text to Middle left..
You have to reset to make changes visible.
[edit]
It seems "textFlags" doesn't work.
It worked in other versions of the dailer software..

Is this a problem with Smartdial 2.5?
Everything was working fine for me yesterday with the base Faria 3.3 ROM V2 (Great job Faria - Thanks!!!) on my Wizard G3.
I then updated with the patch which provides 2.5 smartdial, and the blue dialler skin.
Immediately saw this problem. Uninstalled the skin, still the same problem with the base skin. First time after soft reset, smart diall works. Just make a call, end it, and the next time you call (I didnt press any X buttons or anything) and no smartdial.
I did a hard reset, which made me lose the 2.5 smartdial ( in addition to the other stuff obviously) and this time I only installed the dialler skin.. and no problem with smartdial.
Seems like there may be a problem with 2.5 smartdial - but since on one else said so... I dunno.
What is your experience guys?
Thank you for the ROM Faria, you rock!
Regards
Manu

I take back what I said
My blue dailer only smartdaills once after reset.
I guess its got to go until its fixed
anyone know how can I get the original one back?
Thanks

Maybe I am doing something wrong..I installed this and it is not working for me!
There are no numbers on the buttons and the alignment is way off. Anyone else having this problem?
CID unlocked G4, running 3.3 (latest)

Sorry, not sure I understand. I'm using the X function in iLauncher. As noted, I also tried 'Close All Apps' from iLauncher, and 'CloseApps' and 'Hibernate' from Oxios.

Yeah, I've been trying these dialer skins after installing the patch, so maybe it's a problem with 2.5.

If you close the dailer with such app it will be forced down and smartdail won't open again..
Once loaded, it should be closed on the old fashoned "windows-style"
(meaning, not realy closing it..)
BTW, I have no way in alligning fonts, textFlags doesn't allow that.
Instead I am busy editing Classic Gray with predrawn numbers/text BUT with smartdail functionality.
It requires redrawing Landscape background and adjusting the registry settings because I added some extra button functionality will be released soon..

Im working on HTC dialer skin from HTC OEM pack you can find it in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344533 portrait is done and Im working on landscape right now, its very simple skin inspired by diamond, I know there is to many dialer skins but most of them has bugs or speed dial not working so I went ahead and skinned the HTC OEM dialer like I did with my vista skin, because I always look in every detail that why the color of the text in the image bellow is really bothering me, I tried to edit many registry colors to change the font to Grey but I failed, if anyone have a clue where in the registry I should go to change it would be great.
hopefully tonight it will be posted.

Have you checked all the text color entries in
HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin
I was able to change mine to all white.
What are your registry entries?

maybe urs is CDMA version and its different, if you can download the HTC oem one and open he registry file, then hopefully you can find out which one I should I change,I did already checked all the registry files and I was able to change the smartdialing colors but not the one shown in the image below. also I just noticed the letters MNE need to be changed to MNO, typing mistake. I appreciate any help.

Yes I have a CDMA version. I found the HTC Dialer ZIP on the link you posted. I s that the one you are using? Or is it another one?
UPDATE
I just checked the registry entries from the HTC Dialer and it's missing a lot of registry entries that would allow you to customize the dialer extensively.
What you could do is use the Mogul Big Button Dialer (CDMA) and just change the registry entries and XML to install the rest of the necessary images to work with GSM / Touch "Vouge" phones too.
Or just copy the registry entries from the Mogul Big Button dialer into the HTC Dialer.
I would do the first suggestion, just because it would allow CDMA users to use your dialer, or you might have to make a separate one if you chose to.

will this contain smart dial,redial and big contact picture

yes I noticed that, but I already add some regitry from cdma version, to be able to change some colors, in progress mode and smartdialing but Im still trying to figure out what registry entry allows the connected text to be changed.

I just tried it on my XV6800 with the "Mogul Big Button Dialer"
I changed two things and it changed the entire Text in the Screen and the digits when you dial.
HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor=
HKLM --Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--VerbButton textColor=
I changed mine both to a decimal value of 16777215 "White"
so you can probably do this for both and have the text white like how you intended.
The registry entries are case sentative. Especially between "TextColor" and "textColor"
UPDATE
I posted a sample REG Key from my phone.
It's inside the ZIP.

carlos,
even if the touch stock doesn't have a key that changes that color, if we can find out what the key is, you can just add the key on the touch and it "should" work as well. can you export the keys to a reg file and post it and we will dissect and figure out what key it is.

hi carlos, thank you for your help, I alreadyhad the HKLM -- Security--Phone--Skin--Dialer--(Landscape/Portrait)--Text TextColor= added before so I went ahead and added the one for Verbbutton wich ffffff Hex which is 16777215 Dec but still no luck, I soft reseted and still. maybe this certain color is hard coded in HTC dialer, have you tried it `in HTC dialer OEM or in bluefrog?

I don't use a HTC Dialer. That dialer is meant for GSM / Touch phones.
I use the Mogul Big Button Dialer / Blue Frog Dialer Aka New Touch and it works.
The custom dialers that me and superflysocal created are products of Blue Frog Dialer and this Registry entries work on it.

I have CDMA Sprint as well as you and I own Mogul. The only down part about the blue frog big button is that it doesnt bring the same functions as the actual dialer, for example mute becomes save and also the pressed icons they're all blank, I know Im missing the ## functions and I never tried 911 but Im not worried about that because I carry always flip phone m610 or lg rumor with it, I added all the registry entrys from bluefrog concerning the the textcolor but none worked, thanx for attempting to help out.

No problem, but can't you just add the registry entries from the HTC Dialer to the Flue frog dialer to add the extra images (when the button is pressed)?
And also remove the text entries in the progress page and just make dedicated graphics like the ones that me and superflysocal have on our dialers?
just an idea.

I think Im gonna try that and see if it will work, if it does then its great news, I had it with the images but when iys connected it shows speaker phone, mute, flash, note, contacts, and end but when the call ends the speaker phone changes to call history and flash changes to hold so if I do that the graphics they should change as well but I dont think its possible. I might seem a pain but im very picky about my skinning, I like everything functional and not just decor lol

Well the progress pages seems to be exactly the same as the Touch / HTC Dialer.
So the only changes you will probably make are in the main screen.
I was thinking of doing this in the past, but I got lazy. Especially with other projects and stuff in mind.

well if you are picky about that, then what our skins do won't work for you. The graphics doesn't change even if the functions do. But on my sprint touch stock dialer, the only change is speakerphone to call history, and it is something i can live with...never used that function anyway.
On mogul with big button dialer, there are two thinhs that change ...speaker phone to call history and mute to save.

to add the new entry's for the new buttons, im thinking of adding them in
HKLM - Security -Phone - Skin - Dialer - Portrait - other DWORD bmpNormal and the value is "\Phoneskin\NmBtn0up_Port.png" for number 0 up and another dword bmpPressed the value "\phoneskin\NmBtn0dn_port.png"
because u already have the bluefrog installed can u try that and see if u can get at least one button pressed in the dialer?

yes I do use the call history, sometimes from my dialer, well I dont just release any skin for just releasing something, yeah im very picky. I like to release great quality stuff for this community. my subject was to release this skin with Grey color connected and call ended text but [email protected] stepped up and was willing to help then we brought the bluefrog dialer in the subject and I appreciate that, Ive known bluefrog dialer for a while now but for me its just limited when it comes to skinning and yet very easy, a couple images and here you have new skin which is good, but most of the members here uses GSM phone and skinning the HTC dialer was the way to go for me. I will be releasing one for CDMA but it will be in ppcgeeks where all CDMA users reunited.
thank you for the headsup.

full date display?

I was wondering if there is a way to display the full date on the kaiser. Right now it shows Apr 04, 2009.
is there a way for it to display as Saturday April 04, 2009?

Are you talking about the date in the home tab for Manilla2D?

ya, im using m2d

anyone? any ideas please?

Some one corect me if I am wrong, but I dont think it is possibe with v20 and higher builds of M2D. Only with 19 and below. Sounds like you have v21 or 20. You would have to down grade your manilla.
Here is how to change the date format v19 and below.

You have to go first to Start/Settings/System/Regional Settings, Date tab and change the date to display anything.
Then open RegEdit program and click on HKLM/nls/Overrides/SSDte and when it opens, enter the following exactly: dddd MMM d, yyyy, close and do a soft reset and you will be OK.
I do not know what ROM you are using, but if it is a OEM, AT&T or b16b rom, then the above works great. If it is one of the PDA ROMs, then I would try it, but Abusalza hides the date Reg Settings so no one messes them up. You can pm him and ask him for the Date address Reg Link
