Does anyone know a reg hack to remove the "Today" menu item from the top of the Start Menu? Since the green Send button takes you to the Today screen this option is rather useless. I searched the reg and came up empty.
i would like to know this too.

I'd love to have that space for another application as well.
Bueller?

I've got a UK Orange M600 (Prophet) and have a number of today plugins but i'm running out of screenspace in the today view.
there is a taskbar at the bottom with an icon for the comm manager which i'd love to get rid of. I already have a hardware button for the Comm Manager i don't need an icon on my today screen as well and it takes up the whole width of the screen even though it is just one tiny icon
does anyone have any idea how to get rid of it, i've even swapped to the latest Dopod rom and not loaded any of the extended ROM and it is still there
Sorry if this isn't exactly the right place to post this but it's been driving me crazy.
Any help would be appreciated
Go to windows\startup. There should be an init_tray.lnk there. Delete it, then reset the device.
Cool
thanks worked a treat.
I knew it should be something simple
Do you know what Capnotify.lnk is? which is also in my startup dir
Nope. It links to Capnotify.exe in windows dir, but I have no idea what that does.
You could always try cut / paste to move the link somewhere else, boot without it and see what's missing (my guess, some notification won't work).
As long as you don't delete the link completely it should be relatively safe.
Instead of being lazy i looked it up
found this
Looking inside my \Windows\Startup folder on my Wizard, I found a shortcut to an application called CapNotify.exe. Upon inspecting the file in a hex editor, I found a registry key called "EnableIndicator" which was not found in the registry. After creating the registry entry called EnableIndicator at \HKCU\ControlPanel\Keybd and assigning the DWORD value of 1 to it , then soft-resetting my device, an indicator appeared next to the keyboard icon on the bottom of the screen! Tapping the Shift key showed a "C" while tapping the Dot key showed a dot! Very cool!

sounds like a typical Windows Thing, something which is run all the time on everyones compauter but not even enabled in 99% of cases
OhWell
Thanks. No I know I can get rid of it since my device doesn't have a hardware keyboard.
Hi
Is there anyway to remove the 'E-mail' label for the left softkey?
I tried using the registry hack on:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112
to change it to 'Messaging'. After the change, when I press the left soft key, I see both E-mail AND Messaging (highlighted) and I have to select it to launch Messaging. Can I get rid of E-mail completely so that with one key press I can launch Messaging?
In addition, is there a way to remove the battery indicator on the top task bar? Or maybe even replace it with the volume indicator?
I'd also like to know this.. can anyone help??

That only adds another menu item to the left softkey, it doesnt remove the email item. We want to completely get rid of the "Email" menu option
To the best of my understanding, the today screen softkeys are handled by a Palm specific program. As such, the ability to customize the function of the softkeys is quite limited. You may, however, be able to "kill" Palms handling of the softkeys and alter them as per other WM5 devices. (Downside to this is you lose the, IMHO, nice right softkey popup menu.)
Ingenious developers will most certainly find a way around this, but I don't imagine it will be as simple as a registry tweak.
Yep the menu button is a great addition by Palm.
Does anyone have a way to get all the menu items to work on the text message screen
Stock Rom, Alltel Touch Pro
See attached screen shot
If I'm not mistaken, you're on the "Conversation" screen -- not in the Inbox. Therefore, I don't think that all of those grayed out option are relevant.
A little weird, but ya...
yeah, i wish it was possible to just have them gone, instead of grayed out. whats the point in graying it out?
I know this is a little O.T but how can you make that menu a bit smaller. If I open it up accidentally during a phone call the only way to close it is to press one of the options.
Okay I've searched and searched some more but I can't remember/find what thread I saw this in but it basically goes like this...
Use the search mode on the phone and type in "Dock Mode" and this will find the hidden desktop dock mode that is installed on our phones. Then there is an app that can create an icon for that.
1. What thread was this?
2. What is the name of that app? As I'd like to do is make a icon/shortcut to that program.
3. If you're gonna flame me for "this has been asked x many times already" or some other crap like that, please don't bother posting I don't want to deal with you either.
Thanks in advance.
Not sure about creating an icon, but if you go into your Sensation customization and select "Lock Screen" you can edit which programs are quick-launched by clicking on the "Settings" button at the bottom. You can select Dock Mode from there (I've got it on my lock screen.)

That's not what I'm looking for but many thanks for that tid-bit! Why will dock mode show there in "apps" but not actually show in the apps when placing it as an icon?
Go into the app tray, long hold the dock mode app and put it on your homescreen...

Please forgive me if this sounds foolish but when you say "app tray" do you mean the app grid icon just left of the phone button on the screen?
If you do, I've already tried that but there is no "dock mode" icon in my apps list. The only way I've found it before is by using the search button (magnifying glass - lower right corner on the phone) and manually searching for it.
I should note that I'm a T-Mobile USA user.
I got it under the search function.
I did the search with the capacitive search button and now the dock mode is there for me to click on.
it remains there so...
works out better for me cause I don't want desk dock mode icon on my home screen.
still odd why HTC didn't include the icon for it.
OMGWAFR! Derrr, derrr, derrrr...drool...
No wonder I can't find that topic here, I never read that here! I read it over at the T-Mobile forums. Sorry fellas, my bad!
But to top it off TMo has changed up their forums so you wouldn't even be able to find it there now but a quick google search/cache has the topic I was talking about:
http://webcache.googleusercontent.c...d=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&gl=us&source=www.google.com
And low and behold "Mainspring" posted in there too!
................
So I found the "app" I was looking for and its called "ANY CUT". Very simple to use and will let you create a shortcut for anything.
Nice got my car home icon on there now too so I don't have to use a dock to switch it!

So I've done the OTA update and it removed my Dock Mode from the lock screen. I went to set it again but when I go to Personalize > Lock Screen > Settings > Choose an app to assign to the shortcut - Its not there any longer.
I still have the icon on my phone thanks to Any Cut but now I can't figure out how to get it back onto my lock screen.
Any ideas?
I have accidentally opened up a menu that I have never been able to do before (or again). I think I was long pressing something but I am not sure.
Anyways, at the bottom of the screen, there was what looked like a speech bubble with 5 icons inside of it. Looked a lot like the menu in ICS. I don't know how I did it and I have been trying to do it again. Anyone know what I am talking about?
Thanks,
Mike
