Calendar: showtextinweekview

Hi,
This is very undocumented but obtained by disassembling. :roll:
This shows your appointments text in the week view of the Calendar.
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Calendar]
"showtextinweekview:=dword:00000001
Works for Windows CE4+.
Have fun,
Tweakradje

Thanks man,
Best used in landscape on my magician.

Can we see the screenshot :roll:
Victor

sorry no screenshot available
Sorry can't do, my magician won't attach files to the board. The tweak is harmless, so invest 2 minutes & see for yourself. In QVGA long app. don't show all text, but it's better than nothing.

Tried this in HKLM etc on my Universal (the Calendar section doesn't appear in HKCU). Didn't work.

Not in the Calendar HKCU on Wizard. Didn't work.

Key described in first post is correct. How about creating the key yourself ;O)

Works here... event needs to be long enough to fit the text, though
'll post screenshots after a reboot - ActiveSync's not connecting >_<

how did you get it to work. I do not have calendar in HKCU?

Just add it
If you're using PHM Regedit:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New Key...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > New DWORD Value
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK
If you're using TRE (Tascal Registry Editor):
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose New > Key
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. In the bottom menu, choose New Dword
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"
6. Double-tap this new entry
6. Set the value to 1
7. Click OK

Thanks for the fast reply. I got it working just now. This is great.
Is there also a way to show whole day activities in the weekview?

Thanks for that ZeBoxx - that's really useful. Why don't the devices come with these options enabled ?
While looking at this I opened HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Calendar\ShowLunarCalendar and altered the DWORD Data value to 1.
After a soft reset go to Calendar, Menu, View and 'Lunar' appears in the drop down. Check it and when you scroll through with the left soft button, there's an extra screen with a month view and D02 - D30 followed by M01 in Feb M02 in March etc. I thought this might be Lunar Phases - but doesn't seem to be. Any ideas ?

They probably disabled it because, let's face it, there's not a whole lot you can read in it unless: 1. your words are short and 2. the event is long enough in duration to show it all
They should have made the week view have a horizontal layout - or at least give that as an option. Then showing the text wouldn't have been any issue whatsoever, and it would be more in line with 'Week' pocket agendas (you know, the paper kind) as well. I have no idea what MS were thinking with the vertical :>
As for the Lunar calendar view - it's a Lunar calendar view.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_calendar
I don't know enough about it to know whether it corresponds with any of the religious lunar calendars, though. You can derive the lunar phase from the Dxx number, though. D01 is roughly 'new moon', D14/D15 is roughly 'full moon'.

If you're using TotalCommander:
1. Go to HKCU\Software\Microsoft
2. In the bottom menu, choose Edit > Mkdir...
3. Set the name to "Calendar"
4. Go to the new folder and choose "+Add value+"
5. Set the name to "ShowTextInWeekView"w"
6. Choose type "Dword"
7. Set the value to 1
8. Click OK
I think it very usefull with my Qtek9000 where i mostly see my calendar in landscape mode.

9000 of course is vga as well, and if it's running in true vga mode, should have 4 times the space to show the text

ZeBoxx
If you had the week view the other way you would still have an issue because the text wouldn't fit in the hour / half hour slots !
Anyway thanks for the info on Lunar Calendar. After a bit of research it appears D16 is Full Moon and D30 or M is new moon - maybe that's what the M prefix is for.
Cheers.
BTW I couldn't benefit from the true VGA mode - my eyes won't allow it !!!!

Sure, you're going to run into a limitation one way or another. However, text (in most languages) is left>right or right>left, and you should be able to get a better fit in a horizontal orientation. E.g. your half hour example, they don't necessarily have to be as narrow as they currently are in the vertical layout - you could make them wider, and it would easily fit more text. If you do the same in the vertical layout (make them taller), you're still running into having to chop words up to make words fit.
Either layout would work just fine if the implementation actually had boxes that overlap across days / hours respectively to fit the entire description/location, and only use a small strip to indicate the actual duration. This is actually easier in a vertical layout I'll try and whip up an example picture - attached. A problem that then occurs, of course, is with overlapping events - or events at a time that the new overlapping box would obscure. Never an easy solution

Is there a way to make this work with 2003 SE?

It works on my magician with 2K3 in QVGA, so i do miss a lot text. But it better than nothing.

Multi todayscreen program

hi im looking fo a today plugin that can devide tooday screen into several tabs
check the cLaunch screens. Imagin this kind of tabs with diferent set of today plugins running inside. That way you can have a big clock and date in one tab, calendar+ in the other, shortcuts in the next one, todeynotes, tasks+, todaynotes, weather and many others full screen aps.
That would be weru usefull anyone seen this kind of thing?
i have Spb Mobile Shell now but its not exactly what im looking for.

You need to read more
Check out the last few page of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259932
there is this seemingly free software that does what you mentioned. Not sure how easy to conf, but it seems to support most today plugin.

yeeee - quick reply thanks friend now i now where to read i hope this is it

I tried that software PocketAGE... It works, but not quite: the today plugins inside a tab are placed on top of each other. I think I'm doing something wrong, but I just don't realize what...
Any thoughts?
Jörg

tap and hold at any emty spase and press "move/resize items" - you can move todayplugins around and resize them and also the icons! thats something !
i like this app but where to get this unlock key? that kick-ass.ru page is not about ppc's... any idea?
and the SPB mobile shell is out i will miss that finger freandly task manager... but "mortbuttons" has it also and its more costomisable

I didn't know it needed an unlock key, I just got it today from that referenced thread. Is it a time limited trial or so (I don't speak Russian,)?
The moving/resizing bit doesn't work: the today plugin is marked with a grey box, but I cannot do anything with it.
Jörg

Jörg
do you have a russian version of this app? mine is in English.
-----------
tap-hold that grey box -> tap properties -> uncheck the box: autoresize...
close
now you can see a duble frame on the right of the grey box - you can resize that plugin horizontaly by draging it.
-----------
in the "about" scren there is a place for a key - i dont know what does it meen:/
-----------
I would not say that app is wery stable anyway... sometimes its impasible to drag a plugin, sometimes the tab's outline disapears, sometimes a part of the screen disapears (softreset helps), and there is no button suport fot any plugins inside AGE - you can swich tabs by presing left and right but up/down dose not take you from one plugin to the next one (no button suport for plugins which normaly has it).
but its free
edit: after some time an dialog box pops up with a question - isnt it the time for you to donate?

Everything Opens at the Bottom.

Hi,
Recently all my Emails/SMS's open at the bottom of the message, any one had the same problem, or know of the fix, registry setting maybe?
Thanks.

And your using WM6?

on the top right click the pull down menu for the sorting order
if it is already set by recieved
select it again and it will reverse the order

Yup thats right, totally unmodified ROM. Any Suggestions?

That's quite odd especially if your using poutlook, I do believe that a small feat of WM6 is that emails would open at the top. There are no settings in the app to change the read views, at least not that one. As far as registry changes, I would just browse through and try to find it. Registry edits are usually pretty easy to find and read, not to mention they are typically obvious with the function.

you dont need to reg edit
in outlook... the top bar
on the left it has the folder selection pulldown menu... inbox is the default
on the right it has the sort pulldown menu... recieved is the default
if it is already set to recieved, which it should, pull down the menu again and select recieved... it will reverse the order..
this works for all the sorting views...

There is no problem with the sort order, but with the view of the message itself.

I had the exact same problem after I installed Tweaks2k2 and enabled all the optimizations. When I unchecked the video performance improvements, it was back to normal.

with a simple search of "message open bottom" in the main kaiser forum reveals 6 topics all with the same answer
Here is five of them.
(ok so its only 4 threads and the last one is the search results, i omitted to cuz they just told the person to search)
But the solution has to do with d-pad navigation in PIE, solution found in those threads.. Wiki's not opening up so i i can't give the exact reg entry to edit. BUt as suggested in the linked threads, use kaisertweak

Yes Indeed, thanks very much for pointing me in the right direction, I have been playing with kaisertweak. All Fixed as soon as I changed it back to the default setting.
Thanks again for your help

How to change path for Settings in Start Menu

I was messing with the registry and could not figure this out. I got as far as finding where the settings program launcher is....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
Here we can add programs to the launcher and I beleive if I can add the .exe to WM All Settings page it would be great. I can't find such a file though. This is where I need help unless I'm completely wrong here. This would allow to add an All settings Tab to be added in the Launcher.
Or
If you go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3 Changing things there should work. Would ony changing the path work? I just need to know where the .exe for the Settings page is.
It just frustrates me that I have to go to the Settings tab then All settings.
Thanks for any and all help. I am trying to learn here.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------​
Edit: This maybe more difficult than I think. But I did figure out how to unloch the locked items and also to move them so they are at the bottom.
To Unlock go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-Select one of the keys numbered 0-23 (a number for each of the slots. The locked items are numbers 0-3 and are ordered on the list going left to right/top to bottom)
- Just change the DWord value from 1 to 0 and you can now remove these if you wish.
- You can do the reverse to lock any other program in place. Click on it an set the value from 0 to 1.
--Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.
To Move the items go to
- HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
-The locked items are numered 0-3
-Say if you want to move settings to the bottom left you would select key '3'.
-Rename it from 3 to anything you wish for instance 'n' (or any number starting from 24) make it short because you will change it again.
-Now go to key '23' and rename that to '3'
-Go back to 'n' or whatever you named the old 3 and rename it to '23'
-Now Soft Reset or go to today settings, turn off touchflo 3d and hit ok. Go back and turn TF3D back on. All set.

bro, where can i locate this?
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher
from file explorer? i acnt find any. thanks

There is a way to directly link to specific Settings items, see http://www.4winmobile.com/forums/windows-mobile-faq/12666-applet-shortcuts.html Just save the text string after the "=" as a plain text file with extension ".lnk" and put it in the "/windows/start menu/programs" folder, as I'm sure you know.
I've used some of these and they can save a lot of stylus work. I don't see a way to link to the general Settings page itself though.

You have to get a registry editor. I use PHM but have heargood things for Resco registry editor. Just google search for a cab.
HKLM=HKeyLocalMachine

EASIER WAY to unlock the first 4 shoutcut in start menu.....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\0
change the "IsReadOnly" dWord value to "0"
restart your TouchFlo3D
Do the same for 1, 2, 3....
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\1
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\2
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\3

Thanks for the tip - works perfectly. Only problem now is assigning an icon other than the ugly white page with Windows square on it. I have tried the trick described here in the Wiki, but it doesn't seem to work. Any ideas?

Provided you have your shortcut in one of the initial 23 positions of the Program Launcher, you could try setting the icon path from the registry, in the location as described by HTC Touch Freak in the first post

There's also an "IconPath" parameter under the 0-23 keys which you might have more success with.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I already tried that after posting the above. Managed to find out the icon is no 398 in shellres.192.dll, and inserted that into the IconPath line. Now, when I click on the shortcut, I get a message saying
"The file 'ctlpnl cplmain' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found."

I wonder if it's possible to make up your own icon, as you can in desktop windows - a bitmap of the appropriate size with ".ico" extension?

Thanks for the link Fisha21. I made a link for remove programs, put it in the programs list and also saw there was no icon. Well i thought, maybe i can easily approach the link differently.
I downloaded Link Creator 1.4 - Shortcut Creator (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494613) and just assigned the link to the right softkey.
For those who don't like that, there are many different options that it can be linked to (keymappings etc.)
Hope that helps a few peeps

Sprint TP2 - Change right sofktey in TF3D / Sense UI?

Is there a way yet to change the right softkey in tf3d / sense ui to the programs screen? HD Tweak can change the right softkey, to anything in its right softkey list except to Programs (Default). That's what I want to change it to though. When I choose Programs (Default) and do a soft reset, it changes to camera instead.
I've tried HD Tweak and softkeymanager and neither will do what I'm trying to do here.

it's just a registry change. i changed mine to contacts. i did mine a while ago so i forget the details. i'll try to find the link.

Yeah, I've read around and some say it's just a registry change. Usually you need a name for the softkey and a path to an exe or shortcut right?
What's the path for or the location of an exe for that programs screen (the one with the rows and columns of icons with "+" signs on them) in TF3D / Sense UI?

found some info on it at here.

I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere

That'll work if the thing you want for the softkey has an actual shortcut or exe file. I want the right softkey to be the programs screen in TF3D / Sense UI (the screen with the columns and rows of boxes with "+" signs on them).
