I kinda got used to seeing it under WM5, but I can't figure out how to dispaly the actual DAY on the home screen...
ie
'Friday, 11 January 2008'
rather than just...
'11 January 2008'
I've had a good search around these forums and although there are plenty of today plugins for 'time' and 'date' functions, nothing seems to cater for this...
Am I the only one to be so pedantic as to want to have the DAY showing?
I think the date format is "hardcoded" in the DLL...
hard-coded?
I think you're right. I seem to recall that when WM5 was launched it lacked showing the 'day' then a ROM upgrade later, seem to sort it out.
Wish I was a Programmer...

Thank you....
Hi! Thanks a lot - that's great - I added the registry tweak and the day *is* now appearing on the Today screen.

Is there any way to change the theme to have more than one appointment on the screen at one time?

When I have multiple appointments on my Today screen, it shows a maximum of two, and if I have more than two coming up (say, tomorrow) but I'm still on today's appointment, it will show the first appointment for tomorrow and then as soon as my current appointment is finished, it'll update to show both of tomorrow's...
... Do you mean you want to display more than two?

Yes - exactly - I want display more than two - say 3 or 4 - there must be a way to it since plug-ins can display?
Does PPC work the same way as Smartphone? ie - XML for the homescreens?
To achieve this, you'll need a Today plugin which offers this kind of functionality... The first that springs to mind has got to be Pocket Breeze ( http://www.sbsh.net/products/pocketbreeze/ ) - I don't use it myself, but I think I may try it out sometime soon (saw it a while back, noted it, but never got round to trying it out).
Or if you're either a dab hand at programming (or know someone who's fearless enough to undertake some) then you could always try writing your own Today screen plugin...

SPB Diary will also accomplish the same thing. http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=17704&associateid=17
Hmmm....not sure about Pocket Breeze thing - it's a bit much for just one function! And I like a nice clean Today screen - PB just make it look "busy".
Looks like I'll have to read-up on xml - unless anybody else knows a simple solution?
Cheers
Did some more browsing, found some goodies on PocketPCFreewares:
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?cat=13&sortby=rating
tAgenda 1.1
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=565
Calendar+ 2.2.10
http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=108
Both look pretty good, I think I'll try them both.
I"m using the Battery-Statue Today-Plugin and i started getting this notification that says that the program is freeware and i can continue to use it as long as i want. the thing is it pops-up about 5 times in a row and it has been doing it all day. Does anyone know how to disable this notification or make it not pop-up so often?
yup..i started getting it today...so ANNOYING..any way to disable it? im also using Duttys V4 rom
ha I just added a post at the end of dutty's v4 RTM 200 page thread about it happening to me today.
Me too!
Started earlier today and just uninstalled....
Anyone know of a diffrent one without the nag screen?
me too, it wouldnt leave me alone lol.
but everytime ill slide the keyboard or turn on the display it would tell me that.
check out the original BatteryStatus post

Basically the fix is to install the newest build.

Opps, it probably not a good idea to have it inside our rom then ....
omg this battery status thing is horrible. Why did it happen to us at the same time. Weird stuff. Anyways, just hard reset and its worked for about an hour for me (so far). Otherwise it was every time i opened anything, turned the screen on, or slid the phone open.
ME TOO
Omg, me too! Just started today, does it all damn day. The link provided above, is it the same battery status in black/white that dutty always provides in his roms? Ive installed the program myself on schap's roms because he never cooks this in and the program is rainbow colored. I have a black and white theme so dutty's battery status icon is perfect, not the standard colored icon. Any help to make it like dutty's?
Hard Reset?! Talk about using an axe when a butter knife would suffice!
Ok, I am really not flaming. REALLY! Doing a hard reset for this just seems so extreme . . .
Simply reinstall it from the cab and "poof" all better. However, if it is date based (which would explain it happening on the same day) rather than based on a length of use, neither will fix it.
Anyway, we should support the latest build. Anyone have a link to find it?
Hard reset!? That just kills me!!

I reinstalled the cab (BatteryStatusExt.1.04.CAB) and even tried the beta version (BatteryStatusExt.1.04.203.beta4.CAB).
Still get the pop-up. Must be some kind of easter egg type Y2K thing that the creator put in there. I can only assume it is set for Jan 31 since it happened to all of us on the same day. I am going to uninstall it and reinstall on Feb 2 and see what happens. So far I ruined 1 spreadsheet I was working on when the popup came up and I closed it and the excel closed along with it losing my worksheet with all my typing on it. kind of pissed me off.
same here.... getting crazy... will try new version

BTW, this is on my T-Mo WING, so you guys know its not Kaiser specific.
hi have installed the new version and it seems to be ok now
It happened to mine for a day or so and today it has not happened at all... well yet... maybe its just for a limited duration? I havent done anything special to stop it and while I dl'd the latest version I have not yet installed it (waiting to flash a new ROM and get my 8gb card in)... but it seems to have stopped... *touches wood*
has anyone successfully installed the new version on a ROM like Dutty's that already had the batterystatus part of the ROM and it has successfully removed the popup?

could you upload or link to the latest version. Mine is still fine after the cab install but I'd like to have the latest version. TIA!
EDIT: found it with a quick search. For those who want it:

Yeah I just got the message yesterday also...it must have popped up at least 20 times.
Mine seems to have stopped doing it now... which is a good thing as it was rather annoying...
I reinstalled the latest release and the annoying nag has gone.
I have searched and searched and found nothing...havent been around lately due to i got an iphone...but i somehow landed a free fuze and its awesome...but the thing i bothers me is that on the home screen it only shows 1 upcoming event...is there a way to show atleast the next 3-5 upcoming events...or is there a tweak or program out to do that....thanks in advanced...

I searched for it as well, and no one was able to come up with satisfying solutions.
You could try "s2u2"
My kaiser recently died (after only 15 months of service) and now I'm the new owner of a Diamond (AT&T Fuze). I'm told this little thing has tons of potential...but first, I need it to do what I want! I tried not to bug anybody, but I've searched and searched, and only gotten more confused. So here goes:
1) Is there anything out there that will allow you to add more items (like more of your calendar entries via Calendar+) to the touchflo home screen? I looked, and at first I thought something called Manila was promising...then I realized that was the code-name for touchflo3d itself! And the customization progs I found were more concerned with the order of tabs than adding content to the home screen.
2) Is there any tweak you can make that will lock the device up AFTER you complete a call? This phone is driving me absolutely bonkers by mysteriously dialing someone right after I end a call (I'm pretty sure my case is partly to blame, but I need a fix for it). Everybody else seems to be concerned with keeping the screen ON during the call...I found a ton of discussions/tweaks for that.
3) Has anyone ever dreamed of substituting the Weather Channel for Accuweather in the feed for the weather updates? Just curious...I've never been a big fan of Accuweather...and no one seems to have thought of this either.
Those are my biggies for the moment...hopefully, you can see that I've looked...it's just that I haven't seemed to have made any headway. HELP!
...And Thanks.
Well basically ive just got my new HTC diamond today and was looking at installing a few apps, programs and themes ect.
But after spending 2 hours browsing the forum im just getting more and more confused by the minute about what you actually have to do
Can anyone link me or tell me how i go about getting programs themes and app's on to my diamond?? im mainly wanting to change the home screen (customize it)
Help Much Appreciated.
Jack
Right after further searching i found i need "TouchFlo 3D" i downloaded this and put it in the program files folder then go to install it on my phone and nothing happens, asif i dont even click it .. please can someone help!!
Jack,
Ur diamond out of the box already has TF3D, go to start>settings>today and choose on the second tab ('items') TF3D, click the X in the upper right corner and then your homescreen will change to the one with the nice flip clock on it.
But why don't u start with the manual that came with your diamond?
Get to know the device a little more, use it for awhile and then decide what you want to change to let it better suit your needs.
For tons of information and good applications you're absolutely in the right place here, though it can be a bit overwhelming at first, but you'll figure it out i'm sure (cuz i did to and i'm not a whizkid whatsoever..lol...)
Have fun with your diamond, it's a great device with lotsa possibilities

Well its not actually out of the box i meant new as in ive just got it
Got it off my dad as hes just upgraded, anyways after searching even more i decided to have a little play.
i followed this guide :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
And used this rom :
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=607860
But im getting numerous problems, at first it worked spot on with no problems then after about an hour i went to see if i had a message and it had froze .. now it just keeps turning itself on and off all the time and basically hard resetting itself as every time it turns off i have to do the stylus alignment and date ect.
What am i doing wrong?!
You're doing nothing wrong, but you skipped a step that's crucial when flashing a Diamond:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290&highlight=mtty
If you perform mtty before you flash a new rom it will most probably solve all the weird errors such as you describe.
Hi, i tryed that but i dont have windows 7 just XP so its not compatable
sure it is compatible, it's even easier to use with XP cuz you don't have to change the drivers.
Be sure to read the first post of the thread carefully, lol, look at the big sentence in red:
NOTE: WORKS WITHOUT DRIVER INSTALL ON XP
Your right its working perfect now, but the tom only came with one keyboard option, and its not "qwerty" can i get an add on or something so i can get the other option's on my device (qwerty, compact,phone keypad)
Thanks for all your help Nirak
Just tryed two other ROM's and there both the same it shows in the screen shots that you can change between the different ones but i keep getting the same keyboard layout no matter what ROM i use, like it wont let me change it to qwerty or phone keypad
Could someone please help me, as its getting quite frustrating now.
Thanks Jack
