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!

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!!)
I was wondering how to put back my task manager icon that goes in the top right hand corner. I had installed QuickMenu and didnt like it and then i went to uninstall it and now my task manager icon is gone. How would one go about restoring that icon and making it fully functional. Same goes with my start menu button on the device itself, it goes to open QuickMenu and says i should restore the file but i dont have the cab anymore. I would mostly just like to know how to restore the icon. ty

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!
My quick menu has disappeared from the today screen and in its place is a battery percentage icon. Since I have a battery indicator next to this i would like to put the quick menu back. Please help.
have you tried going and excuting the quick menu program from your program list? Once there you should be able adjust the options to your liking.
its not into programs. trying a hard reset
you shouldnt need to hard reset just to get quick menu back...have you tried:
a) clicking on the start icon and not the word start
b) re-installing the quick menu cab?
did hard reset putting back phone with sprite backup now. quick menu icon was on when phone first powered up. If it's gone now it means some program is removing it. Right?
if you cant find the quickmenu in the start icon, then you can just try looking for the quickmenu executable. i think it would most likely be in the \windows directory
Is there a reg edit to move the battery icon?
I want to move the battery icon to the left because it currently covers up the icon that shows new notifications in the title bar, making them unusable. Is there a reg edit to do this? Thanks in advance!
Found quick menu on start icon. changed battery to none and added Q to taskbar. But the quick menu icon that was on there before is now gone but I can use this method

Well if you did a restore with sprite backup then most likely, you just undid everything that made it reappear in the first place.

By quickmenu do you mean the quickmenu itself taking the place of the old start menu? If thats what you want you have to tell it to do so, under options, the very first page, select replace systems start menu (and register win key of device if you want the hardware start key mapped too)

I have no idea what you are talking about on this, with my quickmenu, the battery is shown the furthest to the right as possible (where the ok and X are normally shown). Are you saying that this is not how yours appears?

No mine appears next to the 3G icon
uncheck "show on all titlebar" for the battery option and then the battery will move to the far right
quickmenu
I went to quickmenu/options and selrcted replace start menu--------nothing happened. sorry now when i click start it lists everything but won open ie settings so I'm turning off replace start menu
Leon, everything that you are asking really is availible as an option under quickmenu itself (even displaying settings) my best advice for you is just to look under the options...almost all of the options (again in quickmenu) are self explainatory, so you should be able to get all of your questions answered within
quick menu start
All of this started when I lost the quick menu start icon thats all the way up in the right corner next to battery icon. It is 3 lines with a triangle on its bottom right.Now the last icon I have is the battery with an empty space next to it.

The three lines thing can be turned off by going to the windows mobile settings, task manager, and deselecting all of the options under it, and obviously the reverse if you want that part on (this is not quickmenu, this is htc's task manager app). The battery is from quickmenu which you can turn on or off under the quickmenu settings.
Went to Task mgr and quick menu is checked but it isnt back on the top of today screen!!!!

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.
You can find more in his forum,see attachment.
