Help!!! 3 stupid (or not) questions !!! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Windows Mobile 2005 Upgrading

I upgraded to 2.01a_WWE32. And have some problems
1. Why don`t my screen turn off when I hold POWER button?
2. How can I change splash image, because I changed it in old 2003se, and now when rebooting it appears two images, my old one and standart blue WINOWS MOBILE?
3. How can I remove battery icon at the top bar? This Icon is not produced by plugins or somethin else. And when I set option to display clocks it messes with battery icon and looks strange.

keylocktray.exe

hi all.
in \windows\ I have an executable called keylocktray.exe
when I run it an icon appears in my task tray on the today screen but nothing happens.
anyone know what it's for - except for locking the keys, and why it does nothing.
i'm just interested.
wm5 - imate rom 2.16.9.1 wwe.
phone is a wizard.
what's that task tray for anyway? only tomtom seems to use it and since you need to go to start-today to access it anyway, isn't it easier just to click start-tomtom?
Hi eayuwna!
Actually the tray is used by many programs, but I guess you don't have the ones in question.
It acts pretty much like the tray in desktop windows (the icons next to the clock).
Have you tried clicking on the icon that appears there?
On my jamin (prophet) for example, the tray is used by the comm manager and the battery meeter. That way I can access power manager and comm manager from today screen without them taking up space in the start menu.
Keep in mind that start menu only lets you have 7 items in it. That's why there are programs like VJTrayLaunch (www.vijay555.com) that let you put icons in the tray to launch apps directly from today screen.
ok
ok. that's new to wm5 I think? is it?
I suppose if you have your device default to the today screen after inactivity then it's useful.
I do have comm manager there too but the wizard has a hard key for it so I rarely use the icon.
when I click the icon concerned it changes to a keyboard symbol with a padlock and a line thru but all the hardware keys still work. can someone else give it a try to see if it does anything on other phones?
incidentally, speaking of the battery icon, my old Qtek ROM used to have the cool green version. Since upgrading to the imate ROM I now only have the crappy windows one (actually I have wisbar).
Is there an executable I can get off someone with a QTek one that will give me my good taskbar battery meter back?
***EDIT***
Scratch that; I've just looked through the windows folder some more and found Powertray.exe. Copy this as a shortcut to \windows\startup to get it back.
The tray icon for Keylocktray.exe toggles the option for turning on the backlight using any hardware button. I love functionality but want to enable it always and remove the tray icon. Can anyone give me pointers on how to do this.

Blackjack II annoying startup and shutdown sounds, well you can turn them off

If you find the startup and shutdwon screens on the Blackjack to be annoying, you can get rid of them with a registry change as folows:
HKey_Local_Machine>system>
-under system there are two entries: Shutdown and Startup
-under each one you will find an entry named 1
-under 1 there is a value name of Dll
-the default value for both entries is OemAnimationDll.dll
-change the default value data of each of those files (startup and shutdown) to this:
*none* (include the astericks...this helps the OS distinguish that it is not a specific file)
-after changeing the value to *none*, back out to the main menu - wait a couple seconds and shut down and then restart, and you will find the annoying shutdown and startup screens and audio are gone.
When you shut down, hold the on/off button down for the normal 2-3 three seconds and release. At that point when you normally would have seen the shutdown screen and audio, it appears that nothing is happening, but just be patient and wait the few seconds a shutdown normally takes and the screen will go blank as the unit powers off.
On startup, you will immediately see the standard blue Windows Mobile Screen which will be there until the home screen comes up and loads. Just remember that it still takes the normal time to shutdown and startup. I guess all the startup and shutdwon OEM .dll files did was run in the foreground while the normal o/s functions ran in the background.
Thanks for the info - really hate those sounds at startup!
Also have a question - looking to update my battery and network icons at the top - would you have any suggestions on a good (and safe) way of doing this? Assuming I need to have the SDA App Unlocker and a regeditor already installed.
I'm using the the Mini Weather app from NRG and that is amazing, but was looking for some way to change those default icons as well.
Thanks again!
Hey what's up, just hop over to the Excalibur group where Stylez and NRG contiribute often, as a matter of fact Stylez, has a post that explains how to do it.
Cool thanks again!
no problems, enjoy

Customizing Keys in WM 6.5

A couple things I want to customize:
(1) When dialing a call, I have to use the touch screen to dial numbers... unless I lock it into number mode first, then I can use the keyboard.
How can I make it default to number lock??
(1) The power button only works for waking up the screen.
How can I make the power button turn off screen or power off phone??
(3) Want to add icons to Home screen. Tried CHome Editor, but it's not working for me. No matter what I do, It won't commit any new panels or icons. It will only add or remove icons that are already part of the Windows Default.
Any ideas??
(4) And one more thing... The clock is not syncing with the provider. And I can't find a setting to make it.
Any help appreciated. Thanks!
I looked around a little bit but didn't see any other threads with answers so I started a new one. Is that ok?

Volume Overlay Issues with New Taskbars?

Iv been reading through some of the posts on the forum regarding volume overlays being affected by installing new taskbars as i am having the same problem. In core player, WMplayer etc whenever the usual green volume overlay would appear for volume i am instead getting a black vertical block on the left hand side of the screen, no volume indication at all.
I have installed the default HTC Leo volume control but this gets rid of the speaker icon in the Taskbar i have installed and its a very basic looking volume adjustment which also overrides the HD2's main volume control aswell, so uninstalled this.
Was wondering if there is any kind of update or a file in a cab that would remedy this issue?, its not the end of the world as the volume adjustment still works but theres just no indication. Although having an actual volume overlay looks much nicer than a black box =P.
If anyone could help would be much appreciated
Also forgot to mention I did try to install a cab from a post I read where somebody had included all files that was supposed to fix this issue but after install and soft reset it didnt change a thing. I have the gfreek G_Brains WM6.5 taskbar installed on my HD2 with Co0kie's Home Tab and the Chainfire HD2 3D Driver Patch... if this helps at all.
Same with me, on 1.66 standard ROM (UK).
I don't think this really is fixed on many of the taskbars.
I'm using the one attached below at the moment, has the old style black volume control though, and I would prefer the proper green slide one.
DJC seems to work OK too (do a search), and with the proper green slide volume control, but the voicemail icon isn't included and it's the standard white windows one amongst the nicer looking DJC graphics icons.
i was using the DJC one before but got this one becuase i was having some problems with a few of the icons not working. Posted this really to see if anyone had any idea of how to get this to work with ANY taskbar that was installed because i noticed quite a lot of people having same problems with numerous different taskbar installations. Like i said its not that big of a deal but would be nice to have the volume overlay that i had when i first got the phone (without having to uninstall my awesome new taskbar) =].
Thanx anyway

Blank lock screen/missing unlock icon

I have HTC Sense disabled on my Today screen so it looks like a basic today screen. When I lock the phone, it shows the sliding unlock icon. When I slide to unlock I need to enter my PIN to use the phone (forced due to work email security). Sometimes when I turn the phone back on after the screen has turned off due to inactivity, the screen is blank (the sliding unlock icon isn't visible). The only things I can see are the top row (clock, speaker icon, signal/data icon, battery remaining icon, QuickMenu icon, and Start button). None of the items in the top row respond except for QuickMenu, but nothing in there functions since it is still locked. I end up having to soft reset the phone. I am using the most current stock ROM WM6.5.
Anyone seen such a problem or know how to fix it? Is there a program like QuickMenu that has an "unlock" link in the menus? I wonder if that could be a workaround. Thanks.
