Add 'Time' to the Date line on Today screen? - General Topics

As per subject...
Does anyone know if it is possible to have the time displayed on the 'date line' on the today screen.
I'm aware of the reg hack for displaying both on the top menu bar and changing the date on today screen to long format.
What I want is for the Date and Time displayed on that one line on the today screen.
...or just a very BASIC 3rd party plugin that does this. All the ones that I have seen are far too big (real estate) or are the animate analog clock types etc.
Thanks.

*bump*
I searched, and you know.. it's funny, you're right, they're all fancy clocks - you'd think one of the first things somebody would develop would be a simple line on your today screen that takes the full datetime string formatting. ( The shipping one ignores time strings :| )
I can't even get my "Hello World" on the Today screen yet, so... somebody?

Perhaps one of the fine developers on here could mock up something for us?
It's doesn't 'seem' to be that hard (?)

The o2 active software includes a today applet which shows time and date. it is exactly what you want i think.
i suppose there is some way to seperate it from the o2 active package. someone did this with the o2 battery monitor applet.

I thinl you're looking for this:

Yes, that's the trick. Just need a way to freeze the plugin like the original date plugin.
Anyway thanks very much for that link.

Well, here's a post which has an O2 utility that adds the time:

Shortcut for rotating screen in Wm5

Hi!
I'd like to have a small icon in the lower part of my "today screen" (see picture), which switches between portrait and landscape view. I'm sure this is not a big deal, and there a plenty of apps for this purpose... but I haven't found them yet.
Any ideas?

"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
My suggestion, install PHM Tools for rotating, and use PHM tray launcher to stick an icon in the tray.
But there is a hack on the board to use the "proper" rotate screen service. It wasn't a particularly effective hack IIRC, but it was there. Can't remember how to find it now though!

Do you mean this hack?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=890466#post890466
Sounds good, but doesn't work for me. I'll try again.
No, there was another hack specifically for Hermes. But again, IIRC didn't work for all.

u might consider to use ilauncher(sbsh.net) it has such a functionality. it works for my artemis and Universal
i developed that application many months ago because i didn't love HTC Plug of my p3600... the "secret" is ChangeDisplaySettingsEx API
Here's the thread I was thinking of, mysteriously hidden under the search "hermes rotate screen". Who'd of thought it?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1098622#post1098622
Gives the "original" screen rotate icon.

Unfortunately, it's not working on my Charmer (I thought this is an wm-issue and not related to the device).
-> I'm gonna use one of the 3rd party apps. Thanks for the feedback!
// EDIT
The hack *does* work on Charmer. I did a small mistake... big impact.

Where to find simple themes?

I have searched for themes (although admittedly not all that hard as I am searching on my Vox on EDGE) and all of the custom ones I can find are very visually busy and/or hard to read.
I just want onto that is nice and simple with no unnecessary words, logos, or anything else.
But I want it to display:
MRU
profile
next 2 appts (I'll settle for one)
SMS/MMS/email
time, date
Anyone know where to find some?
Well since I couldn't find any I just made* my own. (*made meaning compiled and tweaked, not created)
Here it it: (for a first try, I think it is not too bad)

Thanks.
I would if I knew how.
SUper!
Hi CHillin,
I am also on ROgers. Can you tell me what is your "receipe" for getting your home screen installed with wich plugin etc.
Regards,
JL
I think this is all you need.... I think.
I used Facade, Endless (attached), HTC Home (attached), and a pic I took using with the Vox's cam (attached)
Colour Scheme: Endless: Blue
Wallpaper: IMAGE_004
I have attached the xml file, that I Think will give you the layout. Since I can't attach xml files I added .txt to the end of the file name. So simply delete ".txt" from the file name after you download it and it should work.
Actually I think you will need this one too.

[Req] Local time on weather screen ?

Hi all,
Do you think that is possible to get the local time of the city on the weather screen ?
Cu
good idea... was thinking of that too...
Nobody has any idea?
Why not just add or subtract the hours from your local time on the home screen? Or open google and get the time from that? Or are you one of those people who changes locations to see what the weather is in 50 different places in a weeks time?

Because it ll be more easy
i've got a lot of fammily, friends and work relation in foreign country and why not use a prety interface like weather to add country and get the local time directly without calculate and search each time how to add or substract...
Nobody has any idea?
It's present on the weather of the HD :

do you think that is possible to run this version on the TP ?
Doubt it, the reason they've got space is the extra 160 vertical pixels...
This would be great
This would be awesome on my Fuze. Any way to tweak and get time on our handset, would only take 1 line. Data's obviously available easily from same download.

Here's a free, really good clock I've used on my phone. I travel globally for sales, and having quick times for the locations I'm going to or calling is key. One of the best apps I've ever found.

battery icon on top right

does anyone know how to keep the battery icon on titlebar displayed at all times?
mine only displays on the today screen. but when i run a program, it disappears.
anyone the reg tweak for this? im using WM6.1 02 by cotulla on magician
also if anybody knows how to replace the default battery icons?thanks
You can use a software named QuickMenu.

It's a Chinese favorite software with 0409 mui support.

great app!but i was hoping of just a reg tweak as i already have wisbarlite, with similar functions but i think uses smaller memory. im only using a 64mb magician so space is quite an issue for me. thanks a bunch though
There is no registry-tweak for BatteryStatus on every titlebar I think...
oh i see. i guess il give the quick menu a shot. theres one problem though. i think it conflicts with my pointui home2 app. whenever quick menu is running, the home button shows i have notifications even if i dont, and the home button cant be cliked. but when i close quickmenu. everything is fine. dunno how its causing it. hey, thanks for your time.
I think I found something interesting with small size...
Shows battery status on every titlebar...
wow thanks again.

Does anyone recognize what's on this screenshot? PLZ...

A picture is worth a thousand words... So they say. But this picture is missing one word - the name of the software. Suspects are: Qmenu, SPB pocket plus, Phonealarm, WM native behaviour. If anyone knows this, please share, I'm having weird battery problems (like shutdown on 30% and then after powering up, sitting on 1% for over an hour with active usage). I'd like to hunt this bug down and make a kill. Screenshot was made with auto-capture utility, because it only shows right before shutdown, so this bugger was hard to catch. Even now bottom of the image is missing, probably due to write operation being interrupted by shutdown. You can see behind the image in question there is PhonEx being meddled with.
Thanks.
The screenshot:

I have no idea what it is (not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking at), but get a task manager like dotfred's or xtask and look up all the open windows. You should be able to track it down that way, and remove whatever's opening it up.
Well, thanks for the advice, but if You read carefully what I wrote, then You could imagine that it's really hard to pull that off in 2-3 seconds while the device is shutting down. Of course, if there would be a system snapshot kind of program - which would let me take a snapshot or log of all open windows in every 1-2 seconds - then it would be awesome, but I am not aware that the utilities You mentioned are able to accomplish that.
