Remove items from Today Menu? - General Topics

Hello all,
Is it possible to REMOVE an item from the Today Menu list?
I don't mean the Today Screen, I mean from Start|Settings|Today|Items
Thanks guys!
Dax.

Of course.
If it is a custom item just uninstall the plugin (uncheck it first).
Otherwise get a registry editor and delete the relevant key under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\[item name]
Note that if you do this the plugin will stop working.

errhem, yes, I realise this.
I have a few today plugins listed that are no longer installed, obviously messy uninstallers.
cheers,

SPV 600

Hi there,
Firstly, I am new to all this so please dont flame me to hard for it. I have been looking all over the forum and spent some hours here before I decided to post this
I have a SPV M600 and want to do the following
1) Unlock it to T-Mobile
2) Update the rom to the Imate Jamin Rom (I have this)
3) Do I need to clear the ext rom ?
I dont know what tools or programs I need so if someone could kindly tell me where to get these and in what order to do it in, I will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for ignoring my ignorance
Thanks
Not an answer to your question but a question for you:
The SPV M600 has Orange's horrible menu over the top of the regular M$ Today screen. Is it possible to get rid of this and have the standard M$ user interface? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of getting one as my next PDA/Phone.
Hopefully someone will provide links to all the instructions you need. :wink:
Can you please post your version details?
i.e your ROM and radio version etc, because not all of the rom versions can be unlocked....
some people have managed to change ROM to the new Imate one using Machinagod's RUU utility, but it does not sim unlock your device.
Some users have unlocked using Lockiwiz (search in wizard forum), but it does not work with AKU2 ROMS
Hope this helps

hi,
i recently purchased a spv m600. you can easily use the standard today screen. just go into the "today" parameters and uncheck the "orange" entry in the elements section.
i have done this and am happily using a standard today screen. however...
on the orange screen there is a cool menu for the sms stuff. it gives you lots of information about sms receieved, etc... i am missing this a little.
however, without the orange today screen, i can not find the sms program at all. i have been looking around, but have not found the executable to be able to launch or create a shortcut.
if any one out there knows where it is, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all. I have thoroughly searched through the forum and this is the closest I have come to nyoneone mentioning Oranges Today plugin!
I am trying to customise my Today screen using Wisbar Advance & WAD, but the Orange Today plugin keeps poppin up and interfering with available option for the WAD screen. I think it's an incompatibility thing, but I can't get rid of the Orange plugin even though I have it unchecked in the Today settings.
Please help. Is it deletable (the plug-in) or does anyone know its file/application name?
Any help is appreciated. :?
Did you even read the manual??
To get rid of the Orange plug-in:
Go to Start -> Settings -> Today Screen -> Items
Unceck Orange and press "Ok"
Been there, done that!!

Will 'Touch Settings' Program from Elf work for Polaris?

Is the 'Touch Settings' program a posible alternative for changing which programs are called up by the Videos and the Music button within the cube or is it specific to the Elf?

I'd really like to use CorePlayer for Videos, etc.
Thanks in advance for the help.

yea im pretty sure it'll work. dont have a device though to make sure
Nope, I tried it (all versions) and it won't even install - I get the "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" error message. Maybe someone will modify this app for the polaris - it seems like it would be useful since HHC doesn't customize the cube and this does.
** Bump **
I'm another Polaris user (well, it's on pre-order at the moment). This 'Touch Settings' program sounds like exactly what I was hoping to be able to use.
Is there any chance the program can be adapted to work on the Polaris? Can anyone hazard a guess from psargent's "the program doesn't have sufficient system permissions" when installing error message as to what the problem might be since I realise that it isn't reasonable to expect people like the author of this program to have every device at their disposal but if possible fixes can be suggested then maybe it can be fixed "blind"? I for one would be more than happy to validate any possible fixed version on a real device.

Mine is on pre-order as well, and I would love to see this....
PoorlyDuck has some inspiring skins, and then there is this post, on a different site, that changes the cube to six sided.
Here is Poorlyducks post,
page 23 has the skins....

I have posted a few different times to Carlos in the "Elf" forum regarding this topic. Unfortunately he has not responded. It would be nice to use this program versus making the neccessary adjustments to the registry manually. Just a note that permissions error I also received when trying to load to my Touch.
*Bump*
This would be great on the TC. I have found a few registry settings that look easy to change (for the 6 icon side), but a complete program would be better. It would be nice to have the media hub customized as well.

Sorry to hijack the thread but can you point me to the registry change to get the 6 sided cube?
Nope
Hi all,
I´ve got a German Orbit 2 aka TC and as far as I can see it doesen´t work. After installing all necessary files manually (due to rights-limitations) I can start the programm, but it doesen´t recognize my MediaMinihub. I can change the Phoo/Video/Music cube-side, but that´s it.
Maybe its because I got a German ROM...?
sorry for that.

Hi, I'm the author of Touch Settings and I would be very happy to work with the community to get it working on the Polaris.
The CAB install error you're getting is v interesting. Steps to take to try and cure this problem are:
1. The device may be app locked, you need to download a program called Device Security Manager, then with your Polaris connected to Activesync, disable all the security:
Look at this web page for more info.
2. Also, try installing the sdcerts if possible (again, see above web page)
3. Check Free Storage memory; lack of this can cause the problem.
Please can somebody try all the above with the NEW VERSION 2.22 OF TOUCH SETTINGS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324556&goto=newpost)
If it doesn't work, I will upload a ZIP file of the individual files and we can try a manual installation.
Best

PS: I don't know an awful lot about security certs and device provisioning, so if any other developers can point me to a way of making the CAB install on the Polaris, please do.

- Is the device app locked in some way: are the security certificates restrictive?
Look at THIS WEB PAGE: http://blogs.msdn.com/windowsmobile/archive/2007/05/30/all-about-application-locked.aspx
...download the Device Security Manager, dock your Polaris and disable all the security.

Excellent Carlos....I was hoping you would take a look at this program for the Polaris!!
Thx

Thx anyway for your great application.
well, on mine it really did not turn out that well....
The cube does not turn any more

Please HELP!!!

Sorry to hear you've had problems. If you hard reset your device, your cube should revert to normal. If you are unwilling to hard reset your device, then if somebody could post a registry dump from a Polaris (clean, hard reset device) then I can post a fix CAB for you!

It works
Thanks Carlos, the 2.22pre version works very nice on my Couise.
I have only question:
If I try to change APLauncher layout I get a mesage "It seems that your HTC Touch Software is not recent....", but I can change the apps grid. What the message exactly means? There is any newer HTC Touch Cube version than what is on Cruise installed?
Tnx

Display Running Programs On Today Screen?

I am looking for a program that will display on the today screen my running programs. I do not want it to be in my system tray but a plug in for my today screen. Any Help?
Resco Explorer 2007 has a today plugin where you can show - amongst many other things - running programs.....
It's not free, but there's a free trial you can have a look at to see if it fits the bill.....see www.resco.net for features and download link.
HTH,
Mark.
thank you but im looking for something that is not collapsible. Something simply that will show icons of my running programs.
Wisbar Advanced 3 will do that.
no, wisbar only shows it in the top bar.. i need it in today screen
O2 phone plus has a plugin that does thats...
exactly what i needed.. works well too.. thank you
devstate is the best and best of all its free!

Yep, for about an hour, and all the links that I could actually read were to the same place with the Not Found message.
I may have seen this page before but I would have skipped over it since it is in Spanish. Unfortunately I only speak English. (I just followed your link and looked for rapidshare)
wkTask
I used to want this too but found an ever better solution I thought I would share.
http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
There is (or was on 2008-07-19) a video on the page linked above that shows what it can do.
wkTask is not a today screen plugin but rather displays tabs for running programs on the top bar very similarly to windows 9x,xp,vista so if you are on the today screen (or any other non-fullscreen mode programs) you will still see and know what is running.
It also allows you to change the functionality of the X/OK button.
It is also a program launcher.
It is free and also very customizable; so if it does not work exactly like you want it to, don't throw it out right away, check out the preferences and see if the undesired effect is an option you can disable or change.

Today Screen Order

Hi, I want to move the 'Date' field below 'Dial Lookup' but above the 'Calendar' entries on the today screen on my WM6 Treo 750 but there's no option to move it down the order on the preferences screen.
I've looked in the registry but there's no Today entry for 'Date', and I can't find anything on Google.
I wondered if anyone had any ideas ?.
Thanks,
Mike Dyer.

yes you're right
It's not possible.
In [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today] there is a value called Date that allows you to enable (1), or dissable (0) it.
That's all you can do.

the shortcut dont want to start because of he is not trusted with certificate. should i do something else?
you'll need to edit the registry to allow unsigned apps to run without a confirmation screen.
schaps advanced config 3.3 has the option in it.
Or there are probably a few cabs around here somewhere, to change just the one thing, if you can find them.

a .cab is an installation file for ppc.
the '...not signed with a trusted certificate...' error is a safeguard put in place by Microsoft, to allow only official apps to be run, freeware hasn't paid MS to include a certificate, so most people disable the check in the registry. All custom ROMs do this as standard, most experienced people will disable it immediately upon buying a new phone, and seeing as this has been around for several years, most cab files are probably on the older forums.
Anyway, as already mentioned, schapp's advanced config 3.3 has the option to disable it.
Just google any phrase you want with 'xda' at the start to search this site, or add a 'search this site' button to your toolbar.
