I updated the ROM of my T-Mobile MDA Compact II yesterday - and cant stand the green battery Icon that appears in the top bar (where the signal strength etc is). How can I remove the battery Icon? I would also like to get the date item on the today screen back to one line like it was in the original rom.
Please help!
Hi ChrisP!
There was a thread on this here before. There I advised to look in registry under HKLM\Init for an app that might be responsible for the icon and removing it.
It also might be in windows\startup (but I doubt that).
As for one line date try this:

It can also cover the battery icon with the clock.

Hi all,
Can you help me find this utility I used to have?
It would display your running programs in the top toolbar and would display the battery power as a bar along the top of the screen (and keep the clock in the top right corner).
I can't remember what it was called, and lost it when I dropped my old XDA Exec.
Have new Exec - and would like to reload this really useful bit of kit.
Have searched on the web, but to no avail...
Ta,
Mike.
Levenum's was a superb one, and I think it also got mashed up by someone else after.

Cheers for that - Magic Button was the one...
When I installed it on my XDA, it automatically put the battery bar on the top of the screen as a white bar indicating battery life.
I still can't seem to get the clock in the taskbar full time though - it is there when running a program, but disappears when you go to the home page.
Any Ideas?
Mike.
How can I hide the battery indicator in Treo 750.
I have used SPB shell, it shows battery and percent power in screen so I do not want Treo 750 have the origin icon of battery at the top of screen. I have tried to remove this battery icon by change Power Item in registry but not success.
Who can tell me the way to hide it.
Thanks
Hide extra battery icon and show clock.
goto
HKLM/software/microsoft/shell - new dword ShowTitleBarClock with value=1
Needed a soft reset
Strange, no effect for me... :| Should it remove battery indicator? Here, after softreset everything is as it was. I would like to try one from iLauncher...
It does not work for me either. I also have the battery percentage & free memory showing on the title bar and would like to remove the original battery indicator.
Thanks for any help.
PS: I have been lurking around this forum since I got my Treo back in July of 07. I haven't posted much but have used all the knowledge in here including the update to WM6 & removing the att&t stuff. Thank you all, this is a great site.
Does anyone managed to hide the battery logo left of the clock?
I can't find any solution.
Bump to keep this thread going - would love to reclaim that bar space as well.
The only solution I know of replaces the battery indicator with the speaker icon. It is better than having two battery indicators If interested see here.
Thanx!

Sorry! I can not overwrite or delete the BatteryIndicator.exe file in folder \windows because It is in ROM.
Who has other way else?
Thanks
I use Resco File Explorer. And it does seem as if it won't let you overwrite the file, but it actually does. What app are you using to copy and overwrite with?
I use Resco File Explorer too. But can not delete or Replace the file. The OS is WM6.1; Software Ver. TREO750-2.25-ATT
Hello!
I had on my TC with the original ROM a small icon with a battery indicator in the top right corner. After update to Win 6.1 its place was taken by a nasty clock. I managed to get rid of the clock using the registry. Now, how can I make my battery indicator come back? I really long for it ...
P.S. What is bad about charging the battery through USB? I've heard that it is generally recommended to disable this function...
Use the Advanced Config Tool (search the forums for it). It allows you to set whether to display the battery or the clock on the title bar among a myriad of other settings. Really a great tool. There probably is a reg change somewhere but the tool makes a lot of the tweaks easy.
Or a simple registry edit:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\ShowTitleBarClock=0
Hello. I have a Samsung Saga and would love to have a battery bar at the top like the one by spb and this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480914 ...but I am not knowledgable in C++. The bars currently use notifications for the percentage and the Saga uses a registry entry for the battery, so there are no notifications that support the battery utilizations. I have made use of a mortscript I modified that replaces the owner bar information on the today screen with the battery info including now an estimator of how long I can use my phone before I need to charge for the Saga. I just wish I could also have the battery bar at the top, can anyone help with this? Maybe a battery bar could be written that just reads a certain registry entry that I could populate every couple of seconds with the percentage or something similar?
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Later
Hi,
I've recently purchased a HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM6.1. Before that I was on a Palm Treo 750 on WM6.0, and on the Palm when I touched the battery icon it would pop up an info bubble showing the % remaining. For that matter any of the other icons in the taskbar I clicked on popped up an info bubble. It just makes sense - icon provides basic info, if you want more detail click on it, simple. I presumed this was normal behaviour until I came to the HTC, and now when I click on the battery icon (or network icon or speaker icon for that matter) I just get a 'Notifications' screen which tells me nothing about the battery (or speaker, and not much about the network).
The battery icon itself on the Palm had a smooth decline from 100% to 0% rather than the HTC one which has just 4 fat bars. I know there are numerous other icons out there but I guess my question goes beyond just the appearance of the battery icon to the functionality of the whole taskbar.
How do I go about restoring the 'sensible' functionality of the Palm on the HTC?
Thanks,
Greg
