PLUGIN Request: Simple Phone Status

EDIT: Seemed to have screwed up BBCode on this post while trying to edit :S
see new post below!

I've been looking for along time for a very simple plugin, but it doesn’t seem to have been made. I have considered writing it myself, but looking at articles it seems the programming experience I have (developing web applications) is largely irrelevant
The closest plugin I have found to do what I want is called PhoneToday (see below)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
The plugin I’d really like is as such:
The left hand icon is of a little phone (like PhoneToday) and on the right of the icon is the Operator Name and nothing else. Tapping this line does nothing.
On the second line on the left is the e-mail icon from messaging app (Is it possible to have two icons for one today plugin?) which says SMS: x/y (where x is unread messages and y is the total in the inbox and subfolders – the total bit is important) tapping this line should open the SMS inbox. The text would be bold if there was a new message.
Below that line (with no left hand icon) it would say ‘No missed calls’ if there had been no missed calls and X missed calls if there had. The text would be bold if there had been a missed call. Tapping this line should open the call log.
The above would just be perfect…as I have a *very* busy schedule and love being able to see it all on one page – which requires my today screen to be pretty empty!
If anyone was feeling the need to extend the plug-in it would also be really good if you could choose to add extra lines for each different mailbox (MMS, IMAP, Exchange/ActiveSync) and maybe add some options for changing fonts/icons…I dunno!
I would be really made up if anyone (apart from JGUI – you have caused me to hard reset twice now…I don’t like you) would be able to make a nice simple plugin like this or knows of one I’ve missed.
Thanks *very* much

Remove Items from Today

Hi, New here, but taken so much good stuff from here today.
I have my Today screen almost where I want if the HTC Home and LG plug in, but I can't get rid of a few items to Place the LG bar at the bottom of the screen.
As you'll see on the shot I've circled a some icons, now I can lose the o2 icon by removing the Startup reference and i no how to lose the Calendar\Contact bar but I cannot get rid of the Battery and Comm icons.
Any ideas.
Cheers

For the Comm Manager and Battery indicator there is a reg edit... for that you can search the Tips and Trick thread on the Upgraging subforum...
Also you might find some clues about the others aswell....

Thanks for that, but any chance of a little more info.
After going through 72 pages in that Tweaks and Tricks thread I found only the bits I knew already about the install.
I may have been going a little post blind though after page 40 or so.

Sorry, can't help
I know which reg entries (for the battery and comm manager) you have to modify on the Hermes... but I doubt it'll work on the polaris... maybe some one can provide more info in the tips and tricks thread if you ask...

Sorted it, after a tip from another thread, it's the system tray, from that i found the Reg Key.
If anyone else needs it, it is.....
Code:
Location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/ Software/ HTC/ Trayapplet
Then I removed the O2 icon from Startup and sorted.
Decided I don't like the LG tray though in the end lol, but it's nice to have all my desktop to play with.

i too have problems with the system tray bar
when i connect to my PC via usb, or when i launch tomotm, the tray apperas, an messes up my todayscreen configuration, wich i completly do by ultimatelaunch, so the system tray uses some of the space i use fpr ultimate launch
i tried to follow the how tos, to disable it, namely remove the trayap folder in hklm_software_htc but i dont have such a folder there, and i searched fpr a init_tray:ink in my autostart folder, but didnt find anything like that there
anyone knows how to disable this bar?
i use bepes, wm6.1 rom in .67
greetings and thanks in advance, qoka

in-call screen --> Manipulate?

Samsung JACK running WM6.5

}
Is there any way to manipulate the in-call screen? It puts up this tiny little picture and the rest is this weird blue/gray nothing. It seems as if it would be much better to have the picture much bigger, or include some additional contact information, or just better utilize the space.
Anybody know how to mod this?

Contact picture on incoming call
I found an answer here:
Samsung SGH-i200 - FAQ - 4PDA
Is it possible to increase the contact picture on incoming call by regular means, ie no extra software?

If you disable Samsung-style dialer the photo caller is displayed on the screen size.

In Registry change:
Code:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin: Enabled to 0
PS this is nothing more than a trip samsungovskoy "dialer"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Our try "PHOTO CONTACTS PRO WM Smartphone Edition".

Thanks.
But, it doesn't seem to change anything. The phone still looks the same with incoming our outgoing calls.
Is there a template or something that I need to change? Is there a "skin" file that I can tweak?

Does anybody know what the .cpr file is for the in-call screen? That's all I'm looking for, and I'm striking out.

if i remember right its extcall.dll, dialog "MS_PHONE_CONTACTPICTURE" i've made some small attempts in the past but wasn't to driven to try to make it work. hopes this helps you.
or... you can give this a try, i can't tell you if it'll work for you or not.

Thanks.
It is a lot more complex than I thought. I've never edited .dll's before... and spending the last day or so trying to get it to work isn't taking me very far.
I might keep trying, but I think I need some assistance. Feel like a bull in a china shop right now, just feeling my way through and not very successfully.

I can't get it to work with my BJ2 either. Any other ideas?

[How To] Change the right softkey

if you want to change the right softkey all you have to do is:
1: Download my manila file
2: Backup the original 07c67730_manila file in your windows folder
3: Copy my manila file to your windows folder
4: With your favorite registry editor goto: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila
5: Change: HomeRSKPath / HomeRSKText / HomeRSKArguments to what ever you like
For contacts change HomeRSKPath to: Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
To remove quick Links without the menu all you do is hold the quick link you dont want for about 3-4 seconds and then drag it away this works on my rom but gessing its the same for all roms

FYI, I used HD2Tweaks to achieve the same result without the hassle of backup up/copying manila files, going into the registry etc.

Nice iv never used hd2tweaks before gess ill have to make mine even better so that it will have some use
*EDIT*
After testing hd2tweaks the right softkey setting never worked for me so i gess this is for people where hd2tweaks dont work
*EDIT*

Don't know if it's the Dutty ROM I have, Co0kie's Home Tab, or the ROM that you use, but the long-hold on quicklinks does nothing for me. Shame, because that sounded like a nice feature.

im also useing duttys rom so i gess its the Co0kie's Home Tab

I'm using an old version of a Dutty ROM - HG v0.8. It could be something that he himself introduced, if you're using a later version than me, but if that's the case then I'm pretty sure installing Co0kie's Home Tab would stop it working.

Im useing dutty HG 2.9
I was trying to make a customizable right softkey menu but run into some problems. I could make any of the menu items run anything that i set in the registry but i could not change the menus text
E.G i could make it so that when you click on somethink like Set Local Time and Date it would open the all people page but i could not change the text from saying Set Local Time and Date to say Contacts or any kind of text
the menu is loaded from Manila://home_menu.dialog if anyone knows how i can make my own .dialog so i can change the menu it would be grate

Thank you Splder!
It is perfect!

System Colors?

hi @all
i'm using the latest energy rom from here. I was trying to change the colors of outlook and the rest of the original windows mobile stuff from white background to black background and white text with sktools.
So far, so godd but i have the problem, that now the contact list is white background/white text just the highlighted one is ok. in SMS view via outlook it works great and even some menus are good some others not working that way but i think these are sense menus which would be ok for me. For example the file manager is also as i like it. what to do to solve this problem is there a solution? or maybe an easier way to change just this white background into black and the main text into white?

you probably will not able to do, wm background color value is used for others screens, I mean: when you set a black BG ,the same value is used for something else (can't remember which element.. text or highlight).
then every black background has this side effect.
the best you can reach is this dark grey combination (from Artemis rom thread and a WP7 variation) that let you read the text in all situations

you can also play with the attached UITweaker , not every option work on wm6.5 but the most of them do, and make all your tests.
for more infos check out the windows mobile forum and look for skinning WM6.5 threads

thanks alot! i got an compromise now which is working well so far. with sktools i swapped the color values and somehow now it works great even the highlighted stuff is ok so i found nothing which is incorrect so far even the settings menu or so it's fine don't know why it wasn't working the first time i did that. i would go over to android but i need the garmin app which is not working under it.
