Help Changing HTCHome Date - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps

Hi All,
I am wondering if anyone has managed to work out how to make the HTCHome today plugin pull the date from the long date not the short, i know you can modify the short date to whatever you want but this changes everything on my phone, i just want HTCHome to display the long date not the short
thanks

I suppose you tried Kaiser Tweak, Today Screen, Date Display.
Hope that helps.

my question is does anyone know if i can config or change the date display on the HTC Home? it now displays the date as 9/6/07, i want to change it to display the day and date.
please advice.
thanks, eric
Start / Settings / System....Regional settings - Check you have selected your country correctly.
Then you can also look under the DATE tab and verify that the short format is the one you want.
thanks. but it is now displaying the short date format. how to change it to dispaly the long date format that i chose in the setting? i want it to display thursday, septembe 06. 2007.

Problem after installing HTC home Customiser

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.

Trim Operator and date from home screen

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.

Dose it actually work fine on the X1? i was reading through the site and it mentioned about battery drain. Has anyone tried this?
Does anyone know of a way to do this without the use of third party software? A registry hack would the ideal solution
registry change for date and time on taskbar
For registry change go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Make a DWord key here named TBOpt
give the key a value:
0 for NO date AND Time
1 for ONLY Time
2 for ONLY Date
3 for BOTH Date AND Time
To change Date format go to:
HKLM\nls\override
under SSDte change date format to how you would like to see it
d=1
dd=01
ddd=mon
dddd=Monday
M=1
MM=01
MMM=Nov
MMMM=November
yy=08
yyyy=2008
you can basically use any combination I use for example ddd dd MMM and included an extra space there,
so that the last character doesn't get hidden by the ok button.
Hope this helps,
Mark.
For some reason I can't change the registry on my X1.
Got the app MobileRegistryEditor but when changing or adding a value it prompts me that the access is denied..
Any way to bypass this?

Thank you for this post, but this gets rid of the battery status and replaces it with the clock and time or if you leave the battery symbol there, then the date and time jus overlaps the with the battery bar. Is there something else we can do to show clock, date and battery?
I always use batti for that, I get a small 2px bar on top of the screen with the % of battery remaining.
works well in the xperia
I use spb pocket plus,it's really great

Manila clock tap application

Hi all.
Few months ago I found a way to change the default clock application,that is executed when tapping on the flip clock. Unfortunately I can't find it already. I want to launch SPB Time with this method. Can someone point me again to this hack?
Thanks.
I do it with SSMaHo, it works perfectly, and is so stable and transparent that you eventually forget you have it installed. And you can replace/reassign almost every other manila element, too.
Browser in internet tab as well?
