Hi,
Is there any way to get rid of the volume icon in the taskbar? It's a pointless waste of space. I've searched but can't find an answer.
A reg edit would be preferable to installing an app.
Cheers

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

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

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.

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!!)
I am running the stock Tilt ROM and was playing around with my PTT button the other day. I decided to enable PTT and ever since then there is a permanent icon (blue circle for inactive; happy face for active) in the title bar for PTT. It is annoying because it permanently takes up the icon space for notifications such as text or email. Is there any way to get rid of this? Thanks for any answers.
For great justice...
Firstly, Are you comfortable mucking around with the registry? (Although, it's been a while since I played with PTT. Start in the windows folder & see if there's anything in startup. Then check:
HKLM\Services\PTT
HKLM\Services\PTT\ButtonPressLaunchValue
HKLM\Services\PTT\ButtonHoldLaunchValue
Otherwise, get yourself a copy of SK Tools & use the trial (or buy it; It's great tool) & kill the service in the "Services" Section of tools.
Then search XDA-Dev on how to assign something that's actually useful to replace the wasted PTT button
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!
I would like to know if its possible to remove some icons from the systray (upper right corner)
1.) Battery: useless since im using batti, i dont need the battery icon there.
Batti has an optionto show or not the icon, but it doesnt work.
2.) Sound: useless imo, since i can access the volume control by just pressing the volume keys on the left side of the Diamond.
Ive searched alot and can fix this.
Tired lots of battery apps, but none will disable the icon.
Ive tried this code:
Code:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell\ShowTitleBarClock
0=battery
1=clock
2=neither
3=Both
but as soon as i access the system setting the battery icon will return.
Any help is appreciated.
I have the same problem does anyone knows how to do this
I am using handy switcher and its annoying to face with information related with those icons when I think I pressed hand switcher
I have the same question too ....
Still looking.
I have a touch.

i am missing the Volume / Ring bars . Diamond 2 only has the Volume bar and not the ring volume bar too. is there a way i can get this back?
Settings>sound - turn off Single Volume.
thank you very much. and one more... is there a way when i press all programs to open the programs folder as normal and not through the htc manila?
Not easily, search in the topaz applications and software and there's a discussion about it there. It involves a bit of registry editing, if you're new to that you can mess things up.
this is possible with TF3D2 tweak...
that tweak will close all the HTC Start menu. i just want have the normal programs folder when i press the All Programs in the start menu of htc
