**SOLVED**Removing SoftKeys and the system tray - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development

hey guys im sure its been asked before and been answered many times but somethings going on with the search function of this site its not giving any results that help
i want to remove that system tray and the 2 soft key buttons and the bottom bar ( all the stuff found at the bottom of my screen) i dont want to lose the functions of the keys i just dont need to see them there cuz i already know what they do and i think the screen real estate could be better utilized by LG menu which im trying to use
and also while im at it can any one help me figure out how to get the LG menu bar tp the bottom of the screen( in place of the tray and bottom bar with softkeys that im asking u to help me remove)
Thnxs again everyone

bumpity bump

have you found a way to solve the problem and remove finally the system tray and the softkeys?
could you post it
thanks

for anybody else that ever wants to remove the top or bottom bar, do search for TodayToggle and/or DciNoBar

check out the cabs provided by Spencepu3 ( 4th post from the top)
to remove the softkeys you need a program called dcinobar.exe. Once you download it just put in on your device somewhere and make a shortcut to put in your windows/startup folder and it will run every time you start your device. to get your softkeys back just delete it
And to remove the tray icons ( namely the battery and wifi icon in the tray) go to windows/startup using file explorer and delete wifinit and initray that should get rid of them.

anh lemme make it easy heres the link to DciNoBar

I think epimazzo may have included this option in his KhanX lite V3.1 rom. I am using the rom now - and there is no bottom tray or soft keys.
Either that - or I did something wrong during install.
The soft keys are still working - but do not appear on screen.

Comm Manager Taskbar Icon

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.

deleting locked programs in the program menu

i just got my new touch pro after having an xv6800 and love the new phone and im doing pretty well as far as making custom changes, but my question is how and or were do i go to remove or delete the lock programs in the program menu, so i can add my own.
thanks chris
as far as I know you can't. If you are looking to remove the bloatware(Stock Stuff) you can do a search for it.

Thanks for the help, ill do a search for bloatware,
as you said you prolby cant do it, in that case is thier an application were i can atleast add to the program list, since the program list is know full
Thanks Chris
If you are asking about the programs on the start menu do the following: Press Start > Settings > Menu. Remove the check marks from the programs you no longer want on the menu. Add a check mark to the ones you want on the menu.

1. Disable TF3D
2. HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/ProgramLauncher/1
Change "IsReadOnly" from 1 to 0

4. Re-enable TF3D

that means u want to re-map your softkeys ... google and use software called "Advance Config" to re-map your "Program" and also to check the destination where the "Program" leads you to
i actually had that program all ready on my phone, i opened up the program and "restore all settings" and still when im on the home screen and click on programs on the bottom right corner it still brings up the TF3d menu then goes back to the home screen.
were do i go in ether advance config or my reg editor, to see were the program button might be launching to.
Thanks for your help i really appreciate it, i really don't want to reset my phone back to the way it was when i first bought it

I am just not finding it!

I have the latest stock ROM for the Verizon TP2 WM 6.5. I have made everything transparent on my home screen except i cant figure out how to make the Verizon Wireless semi transparent bar with the logo go away all together. I have tried half a dozen files and none of them makes it truly go away all together. Other than maybe transparent home slider icons or the slider button(not the slider itself) which I cant get to work either, my home screen would be perfect. Any help would be great. If i am missing the posts just point me in the right direction and i am sorry in advance.

You might have to do a combo of remove curtain + remove logo + personalizer (to change the text "Verizon" to whatever you wish)
Yea exactly what i tried before...but the semi-transparent bar is still there..everything else is gone...need to remove the bar as well.
Thanks for the info anyway.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584415
Here is a whole list of opacity and bar removals, if it isn't here then I don't know where you'll find it.
please take a screen shot of what you want fixed.
Here it is...I would like the semi-transparent bar where the words Verizon are removed. I also want the Verizon Wireless text gone as well. The personalizer cab just makes it disappear temporarily.. and like every couple seconds it flashes on and then goes blank again. I don't want that. I have tried like 6 or 7 cabs and none of them would remove that specific semi transparent bar. On a side note, I wouldn't mind the silver square behind the home icon transparent as well. None of those cabs worked as well.
Thanks for the help!

Think he means winmo 6.5x too tired to explain,someone help the guy out
Older version of winmo6.5 have start icon on top left, newer ones have it on a bottom bar, so is the ok button and all the others. Is this what you are trying to say?
No way to change it unless you flash a new rom.
No way to flash a new rom without HSPL.
Good luck!
Yeah I'm guessing he is talking about 6.5X v 6.5 as well.
If your start menu is in the upper left corner of your screen you have 6.5
If you have the start menu in the lower left corner of your screen you have 6.5x.
While they are pretty much the same operating system, they are very much different.
It is possible to change the top and bottom bars with a cab, but it is not possible to put the 6.5x soft bar on the 6.5 op system or visa versa.
here is a link to a post with different top and bottom soft keys you might be able to try.
I hope this helps.

Did you get the bottom softbar changed like you wanted?
What phone do you have?
What windows version? 6.5xxx or 6.5 or ?
What ROM Version?
You can find all this in your settings under About Phone...Software Information
no im gonna try right now and i will let u know and thank everyone so much for helping me on other sites i dnt even get a reply so agin thank u guys
and its a 6.5 i guess my start is in the uper left hand side is that good or bad
and ive already tried at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=642832 and i downloaded some and its not showing up at all it does ask to soft reset my phone like all other downloads and i did it but its not showing up
The supposedly more stable "COM2"/6.5 builds are what your phone's OS is from.
There are a different branch, "COM5"/6.5.x, which offer a more finger-friendly User Interface and have a different layout (start button is on bottom left corner on a taller bottom bar).
The link you provided, however, is for 6.5 builds and does work for your phone. Maybe you need to go into Start>Settings>Home and change the theme there.
I don't customise the graphics that much on my phone so I'm not sure if that's all that's necessary or if that's the correct method but it shouldn't hurt to try

It's there just need to do another step to get it to show up...
Go to Settings/menu-All settings/today.
Pic a wall paper and then touch OK.
then go back to Today, and select T-moble (or your default paper). then close it out to your today screen. The soft bar should be there now.
Cheers!
yes your richt thank u so much

Soft Keys on the XT926.. Help changing them please?

I need some assistance to get these keys back on my phone..
I don't understand why ANYONE would eliminate the menu button that is used in SEVERAL programs, and the Search function that is used on most apps as well.. I got my HD on Saturday and don't think I'll be able to adjust to not having access to program menus.
The three little squares that float all over the screen depending on which program you use, the search magnifying glass as well..
I don't really want to use any roms. They always seem to lose some sort of key functionality, like HDMI or something even more valuable.
Can ANYONE help me with this?
In my searches. The menu button on bar is placed there by the app. It's only removed when the app has the menu button in it. As for the magnifying glass. I've never seen it on the bar. I think if your running stock the best you can do is run and app called SoftKeyZ but it only changes the icons, I don't believe it add buttons.
You could use pie keys and delete the nav bar on stock. Or there was a topic somewhere about adding the keys to stock. Not sure where you'd have to search add menu button to navigation bar on here. Easiest method would be to run a custom rom or do the first option.
Your lucky day. I was bored
