Pocket controller icon removal

After installing Pocket controller an icon is place in today screen to change settings. The problem is I cannot access the settings dialog where there is the option of removing that icon. When I tap on it nothing happens.
Also there is created an acess to program settings in settings menu, but occurs the same, when tapping on it nothing happens.
The program works fine except of this. I want to remove that icon because it ocuppies one complete line of today screen. I've tried looking in registry but did not find any string or value to hide that icon. Tested with pocket controller pro versions 6.01, 6.0, 5,7... and always the same.

I had the same problem so I started using My Mobiler. It's free and does the job.

Any other solution apart from roming? Maybe a registry edit?

Here is a Regfile to switch the Trayicon off.

It worked!!!!
The strings added were
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\SOTI\PocketController]
"enabletray"="OFF"
"KioskAdmin"="0"
"Log"="0"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Apps\SOTI\PocketController\Video]
"enabletray"="OFF"
"Install"="\\Windows"
"Log"="0"
Now one only issue to be solved. When tapping pocket controller in settings menu nothing happens and you cannot access to progrma options.

weather widget/flip clock stops refreshing

i hope i don't create a redundant thread, but a preceding search (flip clocks) in the DREAM forum only returned 3 existing threads, which all did not discuss this question.
my weather widget/flip clock (donate version) stops refreshing frequently. it is usually trailing for some time, mostly up to an hour or so, until it wakes up again.
i know the instruction: exclude weather widget from task killer (or add to "ignore list")
HOWEVER....
i don't even have a task killer installed....
Toggle Settings has a task killer embedded, but I haven't even activated it (seemed to cause more problems than solving any...)
so... what else do i have to do, apart from that above, that i can't do.
thanks for any hint.
cheers

Download Advanced Task Manager and exclude it from there. You should have a task manager anyhow.

i tried that (with toggle settings task killer (ignore list)) and estrongs task manager (ignore list)... but both didn't change a thing.
that's why i am so confused

correction... i think it was just that.
i tried Advanced Task Manager, excluded weather widget in that one, and now it works like a charm...
but that means many other task killers are just not doing it right....... because they didn't work.
thanks for the help!

Had this issue, just paid the $0.99 for the app and hope this takes care of it.
Thanks all!

yes, all the best! at first it seemed not to work.
i managed it by doing the following:
1. open the weather widget app (not the widget, the app that comes along with it, in which we change settings or themes, etc.)
2. while weather widget app is open, start advanced task manager and add the weather widget app to the exlude list (also to the auto-kill exclude list)
this did it for me. finally the flip clock is on time. ALWAYS

my clock stops working when there is a forcast error and only starts working again when i refresh the weather. I've contacted the dev and told him about it and he said he will look into it.

i just figured out that although adding it to the exclude list of advanced task manager it still "crashes" occasionally.
then the weather app has to be re-started, and then it works again.
something makes weather app crashing, and i believe it's low memory. should extract a log ...

Same problem here. Excluded it from kill list, but still runs consistently behind, when it's not locked up for hours. Quite a disappointment after coming from Beautiful Widgets. Can't exclude from Auto Kill list on free Advanced Task Manager, but shouldn't have to buy an app to make another work properly!

i figured it out, somehow...
i realized that apart from Advanced Task Manager, I had also Toggle Settings, which also kills processes (I find this feature of Toggle Settings is not as intiuitive but it seems impossible to have it deactivated).
so, i have to:
- exclude from Advanced Task Manager
- exclude from Advanced Task Manager autokill
- exclude from Toggle Settings
- exclude from Toggle Settings autokill
... for any new app that has a task manager and autokill function this will have to be done separately
finally i got it working

I've tried excluding it from Taskiller, Advanced Task Manager, Estrongs, etc and it still stops refreshing. After unlocking, it's always wrong, requiring refresh. Hopefully dev can get this app working correctly.

I'm not sure if you are using Cyanogen, but if you go into your apps list open the Spare Parts app. Scroll all the way to the bottom of the list of options. The last one should be 'Home app in memory'. This is where the lesser of two evils comes in, at least from my experience. When checked, the Weather Widget clock will freeze and you will constantly have to refresh to update. When unchecked, no problems with the Weather Widget, BUT you will have a lag(2-5 sec) when returning to your Home screen. The delay may not bother you at first, but it will eventually...especially when you are trying to make a call and have to wait for all your icons to show.

[Q] Can I put settings buttons directly on my homescreen?

So far I've found myself using two settings very often,
settings -> about phone -> battery use
settings -> applications -> manage applications
I'd like these to be buttons on my homescreen if that is possible.
Is that possible?
Does the fact that I'm using syndicate rom 1.1.0 and launcher pro plus change the answer at all?

Most stock roms will pull task manager up if you long press the home key. As for battery use, well settings is on your left soft key, that's as good as it gets
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Sorry, somehow I put this in s-9000's forum instead of epic 4g.
For application manager I meant, at least for the epic, the stock location that can be used to install and uninstall programs.

You can use launcher pro for this purpose I believe.
Long press on desktop -> Actions (or something similar, don't remember) -> Find the battery info text

Yeah actions should do the trick. Takes a while to locate what you want though.

Home / Recent Apps / Notification Drawer stopped working

So today, after loading an app, my Nokia 8 decided to reboot itself. After rebooting, a few things ceased to function.
The Home button no longer worked. The recent apps button stopped working, I can pull down the notification bar however, the settings button and extending the notification bar to show notifications no longer functioned.
On top of this, Google Play stopped functioning with regards to installing software and you will notice that you cannot access the developer options anymore (as well as all your personal settings being reset!)
Was at a complete loss at what to do... I managed to install the Nova Launcher from an apk file from there accessed the short cuts to the Setting Wizard and re-ran it.
You can re-run the setting with the same email address and as soon as it's finished, everything should be working back to normal. You may need to reset a few preferences (such as keyboards etc / glance screen etc) but at least all the buttons work again.
Step instructions:
- Download Nova Launcher. If you cannot from the google play store, search for it on Chrome and download an apk version
- Install it (you may get a pop up advising you need to let apps installed from chrome, go to settings and allow it)
- Once installed, click on Open. This should launch the Nova Launcher
- Long press anywhere on the screen
- Choose Widgets.
- Look for the Activities widget and hold and place it anywhere on the screen.
- Scroll down to Setup Wizard. There's two, one that's "Setup Wizard" and the other "SetupWizard" without a space. Choose the first. There should be an option under it called ".SetupWizardUpgradeActivity". It might be slightly different for you pending the version OS you have but that's what came up for me.
- Select that to create the widget shortcut then click to open.
- This will bring you to the setup wizard and then just click Next all the way through (turn off any preferences you may have in the past)
And voila. Back to normal afterwards!
Note: You don't need to use Nova Launcher as your default launcher. You can even uninstall it if you want.

Works!
Thank you, this totally worked!
I think Skype crashing and crashing the phone caused this for me. It's getting an uninstall as a special thank you.
Cheers,
Peter

Please help! I don't see any option for setup wizard!
