Friends,
How do I remove the calendar and contacts at the bottom of the screen and have icons like battery, wifi, bt, phone, etc?
please advise
tvos
You can use a program called SoftkeyChanger: http://www.cinetsystems.com/xda/Kaiser Cab Collections/Softkey Changer.CAB
Or it can also be done by editing the registry.
do you know how to edit the registry to accomplish this?
also, how do I place the icons in the bottom task bar?
thank you,
tvos
anyone can help me..
trying to figure out how to place the icons at the bottom of the task bar and remove calendar and contacts.
pls advise!
tvos
I'm going to sound like a shill for Wisbar Advance (because I just answered another question with a solution that it provides) but it also has a feature that allows you to set the softkeys to pretty much whatever you want (or get rid of them altogether).

Did you get to read Sane to reply to you? You can download softkey changer and it will map those 2 keys to other applications / settings as you wish to.
yes, it worked fine for changing the softkeys....
thank you for the info. on wisebar.

tvos:
Did the above advice help you to achieve your aim? From what I understood, you wanted to remove the soft key links and try and place battery/ wifi indicators etc there instead?
The above programs will let you change which program the soft keys will link to, but will not let you place status indicators on the bottom bar, which I think is what you were trying to ask for.
Did you manage to work it out? Would be quite interested..
I was able to change the softkeys with the program suggusted "SoftkeyChanger" - that worked fine.
I haven't mess with wisebar yet to test and I don't think that is what I need.
I would just like to have the icons appear at the bottom bar of the "task bar" w/o the two worded short-cuts "contacts and communication".
I am using pocket toolman right now, but the icons are on the today screen.
Any easier way that you can sugguest?

Afraid not - I was hoping you'd had some luck. TBH, hadn't thought of that until I read your post, but I'm always keen to tweak the layout of the phone - slowly inching toward perfection (though hopefully I'll never get there - tweaking is so much fun!!)
Hi all,
I recently added a battery bar program called Batti2.1. It is a really great program and i like it a lot. There is, however, one small bug...
When using the program it remaps the Calendar soft key to "Notification". Rather it does not remap it but always displays the "Notification" word. I guess this is so because it gives me a setting asking me if i want the battery indicator in the top bar (which is what i want). When i click on the notification icon it gives me detail about the battery etc. When i am done and click on hide, it goes back to saying "Notification".
When i recieve an sms or missed call, it then resets the soft key back to the original "Calender" and does not come up with the "Notification" key i usually get when i have a missed call or sms notification.
Is there a registry setting to disable the batti program's notification icon or am i stuck with this for good (so long as i have the program installed)??
Has anybody else used this program? Had this same problem? It is a really good piece of software and does not affect anything else.
Can anybody help please. I have included screenshots and attached the batti file incase anyone is interested in looking at this useful program.
yep...that happens...i remember when i used that program...get...um...damn i cant remember the name of the program i used..

Wow... that is annoying. Nice program, but I see your dilemma.
Whenever there's a notification (such as wi-fi detected), the left soft key is remapped to it. PocketPlayer does that on mine. I don't mind because I can use the today screen plugin to access the calendar.
Use VistaHide battery gauge instead.
Thanks to those who replied.
Tinkering around with the program i discovered a solution. In settings option set the following settings:
<PLEASE SEE IMAGE CAPTURE NUMBER 3 IN THE ATTACHMENTS>
I then click ok and hide the diolog box (hide button). The notifiaction and icon on the top bar are gone. However, there is a small bar right on the top of the top bar with graduations along it. This is the battery bar and each graduation represents 5%. When you tap this bar once, the notification box comes up and displays all the info. When you tap on hide, it all goes away. No more remapping.
Thanks to those who tried to help out.
batti 2.4 is out but the sounds portion doesnt work on the touch pro ... plays the sounds at random rimes
http://code.google.com/p/batti/
very nice work...
perfect for my touch pro.. i didn't check the sounds part, but i'm not interested right now..
i'd like to have a button in programs tab to open the view information page... can someone give me some help?
respect!
Found a version that didn't work on the net. Replaced Comm Manager files with ones from AT&T 3.53 ROM. Combined it with registry settings from Schap's 6-Button Comm Manager.
You should be able to modify the buttons with Schap's tool. Images for the following buttons are in the cab:
3G
AUTD
Bluetooth
DataDisconnection
FlightMode
Phone
Vibrate
WLAN
Make sure that Comm Manager is not running when you install this one. Check your Task Manager (thanks NFRCER!). Works Great! Enjoy!
Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (Updated).cab ]Updated! Left old images so you can see the difference.
- Changed default items in Comm Manager.
- Made a new 3G icon.
- Made Ringer icon for when Vibrate is off.
Edit: [HTCDiamond CommManager (6-6-2008).cab] Updated again!
- Bigger font
- No more blank space on top.
When I try to install this it gives me the error:
"The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions."
I have never seen this before. Any reason why?
EDIT: Got it installed. Thank you NFRCER for your help!

that is because you have comm manager open.
try soft resetting and install it.

Thank you very much....... I had installed many Diamond Comm Manager in the past few days, all of them worked fine on my Touch but failed to sync with my PC. Your version is GOOD and Working FINE with ActiveSync without any error............ Thanks again, indeed.
awesome work akadonny!
no problem. just trying to give a little back to the community that I've taken so much from.
great job and thx
How Can I uinstal this? Please help
just go to remove programs and uninstall it. I know uninstall is possible because I installed and uninstalled several versions before I posted this final working version.
I uninstall from RemovePrograme already but my Comm Manager skin can not comeback to the HTC skin....
first, really good job! Thanks
a small bug.
Vibrate: The icon on right is not switching from on to off
Vibrate: no icon on left side when vibrate is off
I hope you can fix it.

Isn't this an ordinary step to take for every software?

Is it possible to change the background from White to Diamond Black ?

I took a look at this and this issue doesn't seem to be a bug. With the other buttons such as phone, wifi, 3G and flightmode the default action when you hit the button is to turn each feature off. Vibrate on the other hand does not turn off. When you change any button to vibrate and hit that button it turns on ringer. For this reason it stays on because the function is to either have vibrate on or ringer on. What we are missing is the icon for the ringer. I installed Schap's 6-button Comm Manager and I get the same result. I'll update this thread once I find the ringer icon. Please let me know if anyone else finds one first.
Edit: I made a quick icon for ringer. Anyone that's using "Vibrate" as one of the comm manager functions just right click and save "Function_Ringer.png" and copy the file to "\Windows" of your WinMo device. Anyone with better photoshop skills, please post an icon for Vibrate\Ringer.

You can use pretty much any background, but you will have to play with the font color. You will need to replace 2 files.
P_BG.png - portrait image, 240x268
L_BG.png - landscape image, 320x268
If you only replace these files I think it would not look very nice. I'm not that great with photoshop, but if anyone else would like to take a shot at it all the images are attached.
On another note this thread is for "Diamond Comm Manager". Using other images would just make it modded comm manager and I do believe there are several other threads with custom comm managers that are different colors.
Hope this was helpful
EDIT!!! - I just updated the cab with ringer image and updated 3g image. Check first post.
Big thanks for the update,
One problem left for me, Wi-Fi is not turning on from the Comm Manager, can you please check it - or is this cab not work propper with an artemis.... ?

Try this one. Let me know if it works.
EDIT: removed attachment. didn't work.
Sorry akadonny,
It will not work,
When I press Wi-Fi I get a short animation but nothing happens, if I enable wireless Lan in settings menu (as you can see in the topbar) it is not switching too.
sorry to disturbe you again
regards
Anja31
if you have a cab of a comm manager that works for you that would help me fix the diamond for you. It should be a pretty easy fix. Anyways, try this one. 3rd times a charm, right?
For those who use psShutXp, I have created this Diamond matching skin for psShutXp VGA version. Hope you like it.
To Install: copy all *.gif to Installation Directory, default directory is \Program Files\psShutXP

"Shut Down" works exatly like "Turn Off", so it didnt shut down the device.
Why?

actually it does background program will be shut off if u install S2U2 u will know the difference
Could you change the words "Off Screen" to "Display Off" and "Shut Down" to "Turn Off".. It should make more sense that way..
Nice work - won't need to be pressing that annoying Power Button as much..
1 Suggestion: Recolour the 'Cancel' button to be Red. Seems like a more logical approach, although I do understand that you're trying to keep the colour scheme of the Diamond's TF3D.. however I did see a red 'End Call' button in the phone app's skin. Just a suggestion.
great work, but it's too much black for my opinion
How is it too black? It's basically going by the same colour and design scheme of TF3D.
nice~ THANK VERY MUCH
Very nice job n works great!! Got no problem with colours which are same like Manila - looks nice
Thx for your work man

I agree with you.
It's difficult to difference this Shut Down screen from the bottom one... if you launch it from TF3D/programs.
Here it's my proposal... with a lot of "red color"...
Hahahaa......I created this since 18/6 but now only got input from the user anyway thanks for that, i will update the skin by following some of the suggestion here.
Nice job Pha.
I'm waiting for my new Diamond. As soon as possible, their colours will be changed.
Thx.
(See you at pcdemano)

I didn't got it.
So, which difference between "Shut Down" and "Turn Off"?
Turn Off ok, it mean the screen switchs off (there isn't a hardware button option on Diamond right?)
"Shut down" should make off the PDA like if u keep press the POWER button imho, but not in this application.

very nice!!! can you made me a skin with a cancel icon green ( like "original" )
shut down red, off screen white, and soft reset light blu?
with background theme black, and a "frame" background theme and icons white?
Updated 1st post, i mod the skin base on some of the suggestion from the user but will not add too much colour to the skin as this will not match the diomond skin.
Maybe some like this...
It's very great for me! Thanks!
big thx i will try it
Hello guys,
This forum is awesome, it is like make a a wish, and it comes true
now I have a question, the battery status has a great feature of showing the CPU load under the clock on the top bar. thru that i can really see if the device busy doing something!
but this is working only when I disable the TF3D. does anyone know how to get that working with the TF3D?
is it also possible to have the other indicator of battery status, they were very useful. The TF3D is taking the whole screen leaving no space for anything else
cheeers!
as far as i know what you want isnt possible... sorry...
until someone comes up with a modification of tf3d that is...
but until then i`m afraid you must look onto alternatives..
for example:
what i did:
installed mortscript, making it able to run scripts..
installed a script wich made it swap between tf3d and today.
bound a hardkey to this script, whenever i hold down this key is promts me the question to change, if i want, i click ok, and it shuts down tf3d and goed to the original todayscreen... holding this key again it does the opposite.. thus starting tf3d...
now ive got the best of both worlds...
i like this solution far more then secondtoday, this way its even frees up ram because the manilla.exe is really shut down..
all plugins like homescreen++ (formely batterystatus) stay active this way... unlike when you just untick the tf3d in "items" wich will leave yoe with a blank today over and over..
thank you for ur answer, that is also takes time to switch between both applications, the niche thing in the battery status, is just one can see system status without pressing anything!
@ Make a search for " FinixNoverBattery.Cab";see here.
It shows you the status of the Battery and your connection.

yes treu,
but it doesnt show any other information that was already shown in tf3d. only a more precise indicator for the batterystatus..
only way i could think of would be seriously changing the tf3f itself to show some stats... maybe a exta tab could be made by someone...

Hey man
Sounds great.
Can you post the script please
I dont really understand why the TF3D is blocking the indicators of the battery status under the clock on the upper taskbar, they are shown on the top of all windows, not only on the today screen. iam here concerned in the CPU load indicator?
Check
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401907&highlight=secondtoday
That will be do the trick allowing you to INSTANT-change between tf3d and "normal" today.
The first time you open it all today plugins must be loaded so it takes a little more time (like 4 seconds in my diamond... but the time depends on the number of plugins u want to load) ... but after first load the change takes 0 seconds... u can use a mapped hardware button or through your "most viewed" apps (big icons) in the start menu .... or whatever way ....
I'm using it in my diamond and works perfect !
By the way ... the creator of secondtoday is the same as batterystatus

They are not talking about seeing the status of their battery, they're talking about displaying a software called 'batterystatus' on their today screen
TFT3D & Battery Status
The software batterstatus `now renamed to homescreen plus plus.
With secondtoday and homescreen ++ you can show several systemparameter eg. battery,temperature,hd etc. (see my attachments)
you can find the program here:

Thats a message from a omnia900 user to ikarus(chi-tai).
I am using your wonderful program on my Samsung i900 omnia. But have the following problem.
In the settings for second today I assign the right soft key to SecondToday. Then I click on Apply to Registry. This works fine and I can toggle between my first and second today screen using this soft key.
