Today plugins WM2003

Is it possible to eliminate specific items from the "today items list" without uninstalling programs altogether? I need to get new programs to show up in this list, and apparently the limit is 13. Any help here please?

Hi
I'm not sure what your problem exactly is... Today screen app bars ?
Go to Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items <tab>
You can tick/untick today screen elements there.

Thanks, I can tick and untick in that list OK, but if I add I new programm that needs such plugin like tomtom5 or any other and the list grows beyond 13 then some programs dissappear from that list because the limit is apparently 13. So I can't tick what is not shown because I have gone beyond the stupid quota of 13, so my question is how do I get rid of programs in that list that I don't need without actually unistalling them. I hope is more clear now. Thanks again.

I didn't know that that was a limitation, but go into your registry
HKLM > Software > Microsoft > Today
Export that, then remove all entries you don't need, and if you need to, import only the ones you do need later. Slightly dangerous, as ever with the registry, but it'd work.

Hi
Oobviously you've got a lot of software installed on your PPC
On the other hand it's preety bad that they haven't thought about more than 13 today apps.
Ok.
I've found registry keys that are responsible for today's mess
\HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\
Just use your registry editor and cut the crap you'll never use in there.
It works. They disappear from "items" selection.
If you don't have a registry editor, take this one. It's the simpliest, and best one I know.
Have fun.
EDIT: LOL. The problem was already answered before I've finished polishing my post

Is this a known limitation >13? Eeks.
I'm writing my own plugin, vacuuming up functionality from the other plugins I'd like to use, so hopefully I'll end up with basically one plugin only, but hypothetically, any limitation is still a pain.

True XDA-Developer eh ?
If you're making your work available to public please tell where I can find info about your development progess etc.

robal:
I've posted a little elsewhere about my plugin, VJEphemeris, which is a long term work in progress.
Thus far it contains an analog clock, date with popup calendar, alarm clock setting and notification (cus you don't bloody know when it's set and on!), Quote of the day, autosizing according to length, missed call notification, last sms details, temperature, volume control, battery status, current phone operator (for dual sims), multi-bank launcher facility and theft protection (detects if user is using a non authorised sim, and then sms's me with the phone number (and shortly, cellid), permitting me to sms it back causing it to format the sd, optional hard reset and I'm considering optional bricking - thanks Olipro).

That's the basic version I use currently. I've got tonnes to add when I finish a bit more stuff for release for you lot!
VJEphemeris is a continuous test bed of ideas I'm trying to implement. It's unlikely to be released, or at least as is. It's currently entirely customised around my use (although it's all too damn skinnable: I haven't gone into designing a UI yet, I'm just making it easy to use one thumbed! Try cutting out the screenshot and see how you thumb rests naturally on the important stuff. I'm trying to make it nicely ergonomic).

Impressive, please let me attend my kids and will let you know soon if I can solve this. Thank you very much

Problem solved thanks to you guys. Now I can have everything I want. Cheers

Whats providing the weather details? Looks Like the BBC, what are you using for that?

Seahorse - is that to me? I think I'm using weather panel, and that downloads from its own website.

Hi Vijay is there anyway you could release a usable version? I love the clock and Picture links.

viJay!... temperature?... Can you tell us how to get it?... Thanks! :wink:

batter temperature is built into the os api. when i get in front of a pc next week send me a pm if you still need code.
the clock isn't releasable yet, i've had no time to work on it because of other projects for this board... will continue with it as soon as poss. i've got big plans for it

Today Plugins
I've come rather late to this thread but have exactly the same problem.
However using Resco Registry editor I have removed several plugins but they are still shown in the list and some like Inbox and Tasks etc cannot be deleted.
Your further assistance would be appreciated.
Brian Leach

brian, they're system plugins. They don't need to be removed. Just disable them from Today settings and leave them as is IMHO.

Today Plugins
Now working fine.
Thanks for your help.

Sorry to revive this old thread. But my today screen got wiped out and only date/owner/calendar/tasks are available now. Is it possible for you to describe what this today registry registry looks like? I have each one of the items inside the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\ registry, but they're not showing up.
Thanks

steph280:
Under Items there is a key for each of today items (their names are what you see in the listbox). Under each of this keys there is a value named "DLL" which contains the name of the DLL that actually creates the plug-in. Make sure those files are where they suppose to be. (if there is no path the file should be in windows directory)
If you don't see the item keys, but have the DLLs in place, you could try to create the keys with their names and following values inside:
DLL (string) filename.dll
Selectability (dword) 0 / 1 / 2 (depends on the plug-in)
Type (dword) 4
Options (dword) 0 / 1 (1 if the plug-in has options dialog)
Enabled (dword) 1
Order (dword) place from the top you want it in.
Some plug-ins may add custom values to this key to use for their settings.
If you have many third party plug-ins you should just re-install them to fix the problem.
Hope this helps, good luck.

EZdial 2 gets upgraded

Hi All, We have launched an upgraded version of EZidal v2.1. The new version enhance the dialing experience by adding contact pictures to the search:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Second major feature is allowing 'Send' button to dial directly to selected contact mobile phone if such is avialable.
Some bugs were also fixed so we urge you all to upgrade to the latest version (2.1) if you already have the software installed or try it if you haven't already done so.
Note that if you have an older version of EZDial installed, please uninstall it before installing new version.
Thanks,
Rave

But when are we going to see the upgraded version of your excellent program i.e. PhonePlus III which is compatible with WM5 and can work in portrait and landscape mode. Presently the version available does not work in the landscape mode.
Regards

srmz,
I am sorry to say that PhonePlus will not be developed further.
Can I ask what features are you missing in EZDial?
Rave

Hi and thanks for asking.
The feature I miss the most is the ability to search for a contact and then have the option to either dial the number or send a text message.

You can do the same with EZdial 2. And even better.
I recommend you to give it a try.

srmz,
Sphere is right.
After you find your contact and click it (or use the DPAD choose it) you can easily use WM option "Send SMS".
You will then be transferred to Windows SMS creation screen.
Does this what you mean?

HTC P3600
Michar,
I'm trying Ezdial on a HTC P3600 (Trinity). It seems to work as advertised except for the photo dialing part. When in the keypad if I press D-pad up I get into the phone's call history instead of ezdial. The HTC P3600 used the D-pad while in the keypad screen (whereas eg. the S200 does not) which prevents ezdial to be invoked, is that it? Is there any simple workaround for this?
Thanks,
ketq

Sorry to say that there is not an easy way around this,
This is a spesific model tweaks made by the manufacturer.
It is very hard for us to test against every model out there but we try and cover that as time passes by.
If we could get our hands on a HTC Trinity I can assure you we will test this behavior and issue a fix. Hope it does not deminish you the experience from the other parts of the software...

Do you happen to have the cab for the EzDial 2?
Do you happen to have the cab for the EzDial 2?

hi,
i had also tried the version 2.1
and i also have the error #1
and i know why
if i do a reset, the pda wait for input the pin code of telephone
if i deactived it, then it works.
well
SOLUTION:
deactive the PIN-Code and use the buitin code from WM5
(i have an eten M700)
or
changes in programm code.
maybe a check routine, if the telephon.exe is loaded or state is ok then load ezdial an cycle check this all x-seconds (like as it is in wisbar advanced 2)
so - i had to wait, because a little bit security for handy is not too bad
cu camel
PLS: @ devels
do you have a acces to log book ?
because only one day the full time is displayed.
you ask what is missing in ezdial to phoneplus ?
-> i miss the good log book from phoneoplus, because there i have the call time and delay of every telephon call and now i miss it

Still no luck with Vertical skin
Hi, michar,
is there a solution yet for the Vertical Skin?
Couse at every startup, it keeps annoying me with those "ContactPic1_Land" and other messages....
I would be the greatest fan of EZDial, if this thing could be fixed!

Hi gyplj,
What exactly do you mean Vertical skin problem?
Please elaborate some more: device, version, screenshots, etc
Thanks,
michar

biligual buttons
Is there any way to have buttons with 2 languages?
For example, I have english and russian installed, what I need is that, for example, button (2) had letters both from english (abc) and russian (àáâã) and searched on both english and russian. For some reason D-Pad does not switch between languages (I have Symbol MC35 device) so I tried to modify lang.ini as follows (example for button 2)
2.Display=2àáâãabc
2.Search=àáâãÀÁÂÃabcABC
The result - search is performed on both russian and english but button 2 displays only "bcABC" e.g. the last part of "Search" entry... If I rotate the screen to landscape I have more letters (the button is wider) but again - from Search entry of lang.ini, not Dispaly.
Any comments?

Hi shermanv,
Unfortunately, the display part is done by the WM dialer itself and not by EZdial. Therefore, it is subject to Microsoft algo of displaying the letters.
You may, however, use creative ideas we've seen such as replacing the skin itself with imprinted letters of your choosing.
Best regards,
Micha

How to set "keyboard" permanent

Hello all,
I want to use the normal "keyboard" for input instead the "touch keyboard".
If i select keyboard for input these settings are changed if i do a softreset.
How can i do this that "keyboard" is the defauft for input. Is there a registry hack?
Thanks Yoshi

u can find small cab (sipchange.cab) somewhere in development or universal thread(really dont remember) That'll do the trick.
EDIT: I found it on my PC, attached.

Hello,
I've just tried sip.cab and it dosen't work for me. HTC cruise SFr edition from France. Thanks anyway
Too bad, if anyone has an idea, which can help.. It'd be great

Do you copied a link to the autostart folder with the SET parameter?
On my device (O2 Orbit2 with German Rom) I have the following .lnk file in the austostart folder (Sipchange.exe ist in the folder Programme\SIPChange):
sipchange.lnk, that links to: "\Programme\SIPChange\sipchange.exe" SET
Hope, that helps. It works really fine on my device.
Best regards
Starwalker

My mistake guys, everything works fine, i thought it would modify htc keyboard automaticly.
I didn't know it was a program Sorry about that.
Thank you phsnake for the direct link and thank you Starwalker to give me the right way i was in need to follow !!!!
Regards

THat might be a prob with cab, because its probably hardcoded (\Windows\StartUp\) instead of proper name for "Startup" in Ur lang. (French, German....) Try to do it as Starwalker wrote

No worries, you were right, your cab : sip.cab works great and i can confirm it is also okai for french rom. I think it should be also for german one.
Regards

Ok also for Italian rom. Need only to edit the .lnk file in the startup folder and rename "Program Files" to "Programmi".

Thanks phsnake,
Its ok for German also. BUT the path in "sipchange.lnk" must be changed from
"program files" to "programme".
Thanks again
Yoshi

don't edit registry. it will need hard reset.
use program sipchange 1.1 or phoneAlarm
SIP need to set every reboot that bill gate brain.

Word Completion
I've tried to use SIPchange, but I have this problem I can't solve. Word Completion is active even when it's not checked. After the reset I have the keyboard I want but it still does Word Completion (without the check in it).
I have:
RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship
and
Radio ROM 1.64.08.21
All english.
What can I do?
Thanks.

I really need some help on this one. I tried using the Resco Keyboard application and I'm still having the same problem. Word Completion is not checked, but it is still active.
Thanks...

Try look into these:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\SIP
"SuggAutoCorr" <- 1 if AutoCorrect or Replace text as you type, 0 if not
"SuggChars" <-Number of letters before suggesting a word/s
"SuggWords" <- Number of Word/s to be suggested, set 0 to disable Word Suggestion
"SuggSpace"-> 1 to add space after suggested word, 0 if not

Thanks natong,
I removed the checks on the options and checked those registry lines and they're set at "0", also tried to change the number of letter before word completion to 7 and 20, but after a couple characters it starts the word completion.
I also had some trouble with SMS sending. When I try do "Add Recipient", sometimes the PPC freezes on the contacts and I can't even select a contact to send the SMS.
Should I backup my stuff and reinstall the ROM? If so, can someone please point out an English ROM I can use without these bugs?
Thanks for the help.

So manytimes i told myself that i should find a solution to this stupid problem!!!
Thanks a lot for this great utilities!!!

btw: just to clarify its not util made by me. It was smone else from here(at least i guess) who provided this tool. You may try to search for sipchange.cab and say thx to programmer. I only recalled this prob from arte(btw i use only adaptxt SIP and default m$hit - so no need 4 this app)

ok. phonealarm might be heavy on the machine. and the SIP change works only when phonealarm is run during boot. SIP change works for some people but might not work for others because the delay time varies. i checked it on a few devices and it worked on some and didn't work on others. also varies according to how many programs are run during boot cause it changes the loading time. i don't know if there's a reg option to control program boot order but if SIPswitch or Phonealarm don't "work" for you, you should use "sipchange" and assign the change to a hardware button so that you can change the SIP whenever you like. you can use HButton to assign many sips to the same hardware button.

...for the last wm 6.1 italian roms try also 'esecuzione automatica' folder on windows

Hi, guys.
I accidentally found another easy way to do this, without any need to add one more software to autostart. I use a Polaris HTC with rom 0.67 by bep (WM6.1). It had the same problem: everytime I soft reset, it reset the keyboard too. I installed TOPKEY, a freeware from pdamil (www.pdamil.com) and, now, everytime I soft reset, the phone resets the keyboard, but not to the touch keyboard, but to the default WM keyboard. I can't explain this, but that' just what happened, and that's just what I needed...
Hope someone benefits with this too...

Guys looking trough the issues you've mentioned here I can say that I'm very happy with what I am using and maybe it would be useful for you too.
It's named FingertouchPRO, the layout is customizable and so is the keyboard height
I won't attach the CAB here as you can download it from www.fingertouchpro.com , just click the big CAB button.
There also is a movie showing this toy in action, the speed (if it's real) is incredible!

NICEEEEEEEEEE
Thank you I will give a try! Thank you!
PS: on my previous comment on the connection manager, sorry yes it is there my mistake, although there is no option to turn off the GPRS (Edge) connection! (there is only WIFI, Bluetooth and Phone).
Also do you think you can solve this other small issue? "when I receive a sms and i am still in the inbox, in the home screen the vox indicates me like I still have to read the sms (new sms) while I have already read it because i was in the inbox chatting when I received it! can you correct this? thanks"

How to turn off bold font i.e. in right softkey menu or in contact list? (Or - how to change the whole phone font?) I don't have time to search for responsible registry key
And thanks for your ROM, I'm a huge fan

Good work zeeshee, keep it up!
Any chance of making 4x4 icon grid in the start menu? 4x3 still looks better than 3x3 in the original ROM, but 4x4 would fit there perfectly.

Nice work, Zeeshan. Thanks a ton!
Got installed last night. I think, in the first instance, the performance of this ROM is really better than any of the previous ROMs, especially in terms of RAM consumption. Yet to explore more abt the same. Will give more feedback after that...

Hello two issues:
- the black bar is back again, like in the first release i.e. http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/245/screen003ao2.png

I don't have the black bar problem this time! I wonder how you people get it. In fact, I had straightaway switched to another background, without sliding panel. May be thats why I didn't realize.

I am using the "slide media" theme + SmartToolkit RC09 and I have the black bar problem!

Hey, I changed my homescreen back to Sliding Panel. I too have whatever you have mentioned on my homescreen, but I am not getting the black bar.
Anyway, there is a work around, if you are still facing the problem, which is as follows:
You will have to edit the following two files in windows folder:
CHome_240x320.cpr
CHome_320x240.cpr
Copy the same to your pc and open with notepad. The files are ReadOnly. So just remove the ReadOnly attributes for these files.
For CHome_240x320.cpr file,
Change the "Height" property for Image element to 313 (in Line no. 2)
Similary, for CHome_320x240.cpr file,
Change the "Height" property for Image element to 233 (in Line no. 2)
Save the files and copy back to the windows folder using Resco or Total Commander. And Soft-reset. You are done.

Hi!
I have checked this files and the value is already the right one!!
See below, I am not joking I have the black bar...
PS: there is a way to show more calendar events on the homescreen? thanks

Need Help with 2 things

hi, i needed help with 2 issues:
1, I want to change the homepage of my pocket Internet Explorer to Google. i have read the tweaks on the vox wiki suggesting:
(Change Pocket IE Homepage: HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/AboutURLs/home_0410 Change the homepage to whatever you want.)
The problem is after exploring my registry to that page, i do not have a "home_0410" in my list, so therefore which one am i meant to edit????
2, I have TCPMP, and i want the KEYPAD back light to go off after 10secs when the video is being played on full screen mode, rather then 30secs. Is there a tweak to do that???
i have read the registry tweak on vox wiki, that does turn off the KEYPAD light after 10secs when you're using the phone itself, but doesn't do it for TCPMP when watching a video in full screen mode.
Would appreciate some ideas. thanks

use modaco's ie google search tool.
You can find it in this thread of Paul, together with other handy tools.

For KEYPAD backlight issue, try phonealarm

if your language is English you have to edit value of "home_0409" key.

I have tried that one, but no luck, maybe im not entering it right? i want to make google uk my default IE homepage, Can someone provide me the extact quote i will need to enter in the registry value?? thanks

Are you on a stock ROM or a cooked one?

I'm not on any modified rom, i'm on the original WM6.0 rom, with the official HTC update applied. My S710 is a unlocked UK version, which is also application unlocked as well.

To change the homepage all you have to do is go to Tools - Options - Home Page. You can choose Default Custom Or Current (wm6.1)

i have not got a homepage option in my IE. I am also on wm6.0 standard

which file in the registry did u edit in order to select this as your homepage? and what exactly do u need to type in the value box? e.g. do u need to keep the "file//:" in front of your desired website address? or like end your desired address with ".htm" ??
no one here seems to explain it in simple detail

hi, here's what i just found
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs and change the value under home. I made my page with notepad because there was very little code and put it and the pics in the root of my phone. I assume to have a website as your homepage you just put the normal http://
Hope this helps

As for the keypad light, I don't really see this as an issue. Is having it go off after 30 seconds instead of 10 a problem?

For it to go off after 30 secs is standard, but i mean to save battery it will be nice if it can somehow go off in 10 secs as the vox is not too good on battery. My previous HTC Tornado was excellent on battery, keypad back light went off in 10 secs standard, however that was running on Wm2003SE.
If any solutions for this issue, please do provide. thanks

Can't think of anything about the light issue except installing styletap and an app called kb lights off but i don't think that would work. With it being an emulator of palm i don't think it would actually change any settings
