How to: Disable Carrier Logo/BT Today Plugin

Before someone asks (suprised no one has already!), here's how to disable the Carrier information/BT plugin or rather the very top line on the WM Treos.
Now, before I share this I have to warn you at this point it is NOT worth it to do this trick as it disables a lot of the phone functions that Palm put on the device (at least on the 700wx it did, I'm assuming for the 750v as well).
If anyone can take this info and go further with it, that'd be great as I hear this as the #1 hack request from users.
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Dial Lookup"
Enabled = 0 (for off; 1 is for on)

I cannot dail numbers or find contacts from today screen any more if changed this, and the dialed phone list would not be actived when press green button.

There is another way which might work both to retain the facilty but hide the plugin. But can't test it without a Treo
One day maybe...

Bah! don't say that! This is probably the most request hack out there!
If there is a way I can test for you by proxy (I just did it with Bruce/pocketmax for a Treo Keylight utility to turn off the kb lights)...

I need someone who's fairly comfortable with Visual Studio 2005 (or EVC) and a Treo. If so, get in touch.

Whats Visual Studio 2005? (j/k)
lol, guess I'm out. I'll try to recruit someone who has *both* those qualifications ;-)

I have both, however I'm not a windows programmer and not that comfortable with VS yet. If nobody else volunteers I'll give it a shot.

Hannip will do. I'll be in touch.

geez vijay, I have a lot of posting to do to catch up to your 3,979 posts!
hehe

Not that many lol. I'm still way behind Rudegar!
V

hannip and vijay,
You do realize if that you pull this off you *will* be gods in the Treo community...
No pressure!

i'm a .net 2.0 cf dev, and I have vs 2005.
pm me if you're still looking for volunteers.

i sorta figured it out i made it hide the logo but now theres a big empty space i haven't tested it on 700wx yet but i got it to work with the 700w this is what i got so far
http://ppcgeeks.com/remove-logo-semi-figured-out-t1066.html

the problem i foresee so far is that whenever you reactivate the plugin or receive or make a call it resizes itself and also turns visible.
any ideas vijay?

ok i got rid of the blank space im gonna try something else to see if i can fix the reappearance of the logo.

noman2 - let me know how things go. I don't have a Treo, so it'll be a damn sight easier for you to write then me! But I have some ideas.

one thing that seems to be a problem is whenever its resized or hidden and the plug in gets reactivated.(for some reason this plug in is tied into so much) it automatically re shows and resizes itself.
one thing im thinking of trying is to make this program a background process and making it hide it whenever it notices it.
if you have a better idea please let me know =)

ok i made it check every 10 seconds i tried to make it use the least memory i could ill play with the timing tomorrow but for today im done.
i wont be available most of tomorrow so test it out and leave feed back
NOTE* only tested on 700w
http://ppcgeeks.com/remove-logo-semi-figured-out-t1066.html

noman - I have another idea based on a series of new hacks I've made. Which dll are you resizing (by name)?
Polling isn't the best way, but it at least works, so stick with that for now. You might want an event driven resident app though...

no HTC_Album
HTC X Button work on my Phone!

Downloading now Thanks!
Ok... Downloaded and flashed it, everything went smooth. Played around and found two things.
1) The calculator font is too dark, you almost can't see the numbers you're typing and when you press "." and other buttons some kind of mask flashes.
2) The camera button don't work, give-me invalid link and there is no camera to associate it to in "buttons"
Other than that all seams good.

Another thing... there is a error on the camera app when you try to use picture themes. I guess you deleted all the themes to save space but you need to leave at least one so we won't get this error.
This one is just a cosmetic error: on the HTC today, when you change the tab settings and let's say you remove the audio manager and put the profile selector the icon stays the same.
That's it for today... I need some sleep now. =)

sorry I Forget！
TDOA，This is the day we！
I have repaired，Please update rom！

nice one
nice rom u made but with above bugs, so try to solve them as quickly as possible.
thanks & best regards

Very nice! are there any other bugs? Is the problem with the camera away?

Thanx.
are you sticking around on the forum? I hope so. your last release was super. I'm sure this one will be just as good.

Having some problems, One is that Live messenger will not open up, I had to install an older one from my desktop. Word recognition is not working. It responds very slowly. I changed the page pool to 8mb, and installed Battery status.
The battery is very good in this rom. I have been running this for 5 hours now and it is at 87%. That is running push mail, setting everything up, Using Wi-Fi on and off, using SMS, Talking on the phone for about 20 min.
Overall, it is a Great Rom

Sweet bro!!! This works like a charm.
But does anyone have any idea about getting Java apps to run on it? Namely Opera mini 4....

no java

Text Problem!! This really sucks

Ok so when I get a text or email on my TF3D and I open the email or text. Then I hit reply/open the qwerty and the box comes. then I start to type and it goes into my phone!! I x the phone out and im back to main display with qwerty open. So then I have to go back in messages select message and reply.
Anyone else????? This is frustrating when you are trying to type a quick message.

Yes i have encountered this problem, not just with texting. Try pairing with bluetooth in landscape...i bet the passcode prompt does that same thing?

If issues like this dont get fixed I will dump this in the garbage drawer, sad but windows really needs to get stupid stuff like this figured out. I never have these issues with RIM and other devices.

Perhaps try a cooked ROM such as fireROM?? if you leave the ROM as it was when you bought it then you havent played the game!

This is my first windows phone that has had the hardware I like so I havent really done all the cooked and hacks etc..
Can you link me to this I would love to keep this phone.
Thanks!

I think I have read somewhere that you should give it a sec or 2 before you actually start typing the qwerty.
This way you will have the same window infront of you.
Regarding BT, that really sucks but still a one time thing if it's a headset and you do not pair devices every day...
But all in all, I think we shouldn't be worried.
This is just S/W ****ty bugs that will be fixed when we have our great chefs cook their 3rd or 4th ROM release we will have satisfying results.
I just hope this forum gets the attention that was on Kaiser, then we will all enjoy
I remember Kaiser's WM6 ROMs had a similar bug,
Comm Manager kept popping every now and then infront of you and was fixed in time...
We have to keep in mind that this is the start and we will have to be keen on all threads posted around.
I just hope we get all the help from the greatest devs at Diamond forum as it won't be alot different.
Differences in time will be known to chefs and as they cook a Diamond ROM they can add some stuff and release it to Raph as well.
Way ahead of myself aren't I
Alot to look forward to, which is the fun of WinMo IMO
Cheers

the other way of doing it is to wait until the reply screen is actually shown before you open the keyboard.
If i hit reply in TF3d and then immediately open the keyboard before the compose screen has appeared, then yes, it does exactly as you describe.
if i hit reply, and then open the keyboard AFTER the compose screen has appeared, no such problem.
you need to let the messaging app open before you open the keyboard, otherwise the opening of the keyboard triggers tf3D, not the messaging.
Minor bug, and one that will no doubt be fixed soon enough by the devs here.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Love TF3D but I miss my WM Today screen

Been using TF3D on Energy Warhark ROM for my Raphael. I like TF3D now that it works (in the non-stock ROM). But - I miss today screen on WM. Specifically - I need to see my tasks list often and I also like SPB insight runing. Anyone know how to switch fast between manila and WM Today w/o tediously going to setting tab? Or better yet, a tweak for manila for tasks tab?

what you can do is find the "search" link on top and use it.

Look for Manila Detacher. There's a newer app like it in the raph software forum, but I can't remember the name. There's also the Manla Today Tab, but it may not work on that version of Manila.

Second Today is another ap.
You can configure it to run TF3D and set one of your soft keys to Second Today and you can toggle between interfaces.
I run this also in conjunction with SPB Mobile Shell, on the other soft key just to show off....

[SJK] Gonzo WM 6.5.1 build 23070/23071 updated yet again with new apps & boot screen
I have updated this thing using the 23070/23071 build in Ivan's Super Just Kitchen. I wanted to contribute something to the community for those who are either new to flashing their Wing, or those who don't have a regular SD card and can't do a HardSPL. It's got just the basics to get one by. www.thewingster.com is a great place to find additional apps for your phone like Office and Adobe Reader.
Below is some details regarding this latest creation.
RUU friendly!
27.97 MB Main Memory
20.89 MB RAM free
6MB Pagepool
What's cooked in
New Boot screen and altered welcomehead96.jpg
Default wall paper changed
fingerkb with the black and red skin
Remote Desktop Mobile (cooked in by accident, too lazy to re-cook with out)
Herald Touch Dialer
Fart Machine
TCPMP .81 With FLV and WMV support (much leaner than media player)
Total Commander (got the file associations set up)
Auto Screen Lock (for going back to old school lock)
Opera Mini 5
Arcsoft MMS 5.2.2.37
XDA Shutdown
Amarullz Red Black Theme
Glass Theme
Home Screen Plus Plus, (I did it for the task manager, you'll have to enable it through the options and map it to the button that would go to the Comm Manager... just my suggestion)
Net CF 3.7
DOPOD SIM Manager
Voice Recorder
Camera
Esmertec JBED
Search Phone
Bluetooth Explorer
Internet Sharing
File Exploder

Things to do...
> Animated start up screen with sound
> A different start button, so tired of the M$ logo everywhere
> Tinker with certain plugin settings and defaults
> Pre arranged start menu

Suggestions and tutorials are welcome... after all I am still a Noob, I promise this ROM will not set your wing on fire. Credit goes to Ivanmmj for all his hard work into the kitchen! Also credit goes out to the artists who designed the pics I used for the boot, welcomehead, and wallpaper

I am still trying to figure out how to edit the default home screen with different things. Cause IE is lamzor is the favorites...but you can't edit the favorites....I guess I will have to turn into a forum troll.

Your guess is as good as mine, I manually put in that wall paper after flashing. But that would be another thing I would like to know as well hehe

Well you can flash this one to your ROM, you just have to do the Herald Keyboard Fix found on the forums somewhere here. That's the only difference between the phones.

Good lookin out on that info man. Now I know (and knowing is half the battle). I'll have a 23081 build up later on today hehe.
UPDATE: 23081 has it's ups and downs, I am still tryin to work out some bugs (SIP switching issue, and shortcut problem). Not sure if I should just go with EZinput or still work on fingerkb... the shortcuts is a whole different problem. Time is somewhat of an issue as well. Perhaps I should try beefing up 23071, I dunno at this point...
ANOTHER UPDATE: decided against throwing 23081 up coz it's not respecting my authority! but enjoy my latest creation

I really like this ROM but when it is installed I can not get online, if I use the Glass ROM or the original I get online no problem until I install this one I am probally not doing something right

From what I notice I guess some ROM's already have carrier settings plugged into them. I've got a thread over here that should help u get back online.

I'm guessing you're talking about the t-mo settings. Thanks for confirming it works... I always wanna post just good info... since I'm on AT&T it's kinda hard for me to confirm the t-mo post. If you like this one, you'll like my 23089 I should be uploading soon.

Congrats, Gonz.
One day I am going to compile my own ROM. I want to wait though and see if my ROM ideas get created by Microsoft first..
Good luck,

hey do i need to format to fat32 and flash to sd for this update??

The thing is designed to be used through the RUU, but if you want I don't see any issue with flashing through an SD card.
Make sure you're Hard_SPL, and as long as your card is a regular Micro SD and not SDHC... have at it.
I should really throw a new release out there
