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.

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.
Ok, Ive looked around and havent seen any fixes or tips for this.. I have three battery icons on the top of my today screen (and yes I know about the KasierTweak setting but that doesnt fix it)... How can I get rid of the extra ones? Ive tried changing the registry for one but all that ended up doing was getting rid of one and moving all the other icons over.. however, the volume and phone icons ended up getting covered up... (see second screenshot)... Id like to stick with the battery icon on the far right, since it gives me a battery status when I click on it, not the battery settings...
looks like the one on the far left is the spb pocket plus one. Just go into the options for pocket plus and disable the checkbox for battery metrer... the other could be the system registry setting to display the battery instead of the clock (not simply the standard battery meter) you need to use advance config or kaiser tweek to disable this or just disply clock then turn off/on phone not soft reset (system sometimes does not keep the registry setting if you stylus reset).... see if this helps.
Please list all the Apps you have installed would be a good starting point. The above mentioned Spb Pocket Plus can be disabled as noted...
The SPB Pocket Plus was the 2nd from left icon... made that one a long slender one across the top...
KaiserTweak controls the one on the right (can make it a
battery or clock)... the registry edit (below) and power down/up instead of soft reset did the same thing as before... the other icons have been moved to the right but you cant see them... this only happens on the Today Screen, when I open an app, you can see the icons...
Nothing:
"ShowTitleBarClock"=1 / "TBOpt"=0
the far left icon came from QuickMenu...
here are other apps Im using:
whatever was included with Alex's ROM
TomTom
Google Search, Maps
SPB Full Keyboard, Diary, Weather, Backup, Insight, Phone Suite, Pocket Plus
HTC Customizer
HTC Cube
S2U2
I just upgraded to 6.1 today. I set everything up like I had it previously, but there is an issue with the scroll bar on the side of the screen. On 6.0, I had HTC Home installed. The scroll bar did not cover up the edge of this application. The bar started below HTC Home and only affected the items below (like Tasks, Wireless Status, ect...). I've spent about 2 hours trying to figure this out. I'm not getting anywhere. Any ideas? Thanks guys!
I noticed the same thing everytime I close device I open contacts first then close device then close contacts that way it doesnt chop off the HTC Home where the scroll bar was. I have tried several different things in HHC Customizer too, with no change. Once it chops it off the only way to get it back I have to soft reset. Strange Annoying problem.

Thanks! That helped a lot. I dont know why I didn't see that when I was searching.
I had the same problem. I went to the today icon and removed a thing or 2 from the home page and the scroll bar went away. The home page will show only so much without causing you to scroll down.
for me it was the kaiser tweak where it says unlock screen i put it to locked and it worked
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.

I just applied the hack to change backgrounds in tabs other than the home screen and my tab bar disappeared. I can still scroll through the tabs using gestures, but it's rather annoying. I tried switching to the original manila files, but it didn't bring it back. I don't wanna do a hard reset, I have my phone set up just right now... (well, apart from the tab bar being missing)...
Help?

When you've applied the hack did you turn of TF3D before applying the hack?
I did. I didn't do a soft reboot, though. Was that required? I read some people did that too.
After a few hours of experimenting, I went into TF3D config, appearance tab and hit Restore Default. This fixed it. I'll just wait for the proper way of changing the tab background.
Admin lock, please?
