In WinMo 6.5.3, is it possible to remap the taskbar icons to launch other applications?
I was only able to launch a 3rd party conn manager while clicking on Wireless Manager in the pop up window.
Can you be more specific as of what exacly you want to do, i think i can help you out. posting before orb3000 spammer comes in...
When I tap on the taskbar and the big icons pop up, I'd like to be able to launch a custom application.
For example, the volume icon to launch the Samsung Volume. Or the Clock icon to launch GAlarm, the Connection icon to launch the Samsung Wireless manager and so on.
Thanks
Anybody have any idea?
Bring my post up, just in case^^
Sob, no idea anyone?
poor me
Really like to know the answer to this question too.

Hi all
I have a QTek 2020i (Alpine) and recently when sending an email, I get an icon appear on the top navigation bar of the Taday screen (icon looks like an envelope).
when I tap teh icon I get a box up saying Message Sent...but i can't seem to get rid of the icon?
this is anoying as when I want to check if I've had any mail I now have to open up the messages app rather than simply looking at the screen.
Any ideas if this is a known issue with a known fix?
I haven't updated any of the ROM's or Radio stuff but please don't suggest this unless you know that this is a known fix - I don't really want to start messing around with the unit unless I have to as I haven't had any other problems with it.
Cheers

if you use pocket plus or some other program which really close applications insted of the std WM way where applications are just minimized then you
need to
1 change the program so it dont do it when it comes to outlook
2 wait unless the icon is gon before you close outlook
Seems to have worked...I'll keep an eye on it over the next week or so.
Thanks for the help Rudegar.
Cheers

Is there any way I can force my system tray closed in wm6? I installed Wireless Sync and the tray icon is driving me crazy. I like wireless sync but I just don't like that it installs an icon in my system tray! Any ideas?
are there any programs that can close the system tray?
The System Tray automatically appears as soon as any program puts an icon in there.
You will have to look at Wireless Sync to see if you can turn the icon off or contact the developer to include this option in future releases.
Or you can use the Sys Tray as a quick launch bar like I do.

I like the idea of using the Sys Tray as a quick launch. Do you know how I can do that but use larger icons? I'd like to use it as a quick launch but not have to use the stylus and larger icons would be needed. Any ideas?
I use PHM TrayLaunch. But I don't think you can increase the size of the Sys Tray hight though. You will have to use some third party software that is a today screen pluggin to have larger icons. But then you will still be left with a Sys Tray taking up space.
dcinobar...
Dcinobar gets rid of the softkey bar not the sys tray bar. At least I don't know how to get dcinobar to get rid of the sys tray if it can.
I would really like to know if there is a way to get rid of the sys tray also. I don't want to use it as a quick launch bar as I already use the HTC home plugin and ultimate launcher for that and I like those better.
If anyone knows how to get rid of the sys tray I would be very appreciative for that information. Thanks.
Edit: I've checked Wireless Sync for an option to get rid of the icon it puts in the sys tray but did not find anything.
I have a problem since i use smartphones with notifications and reminders : when it came no problem i can dissmiss it etc but if i see it after ,the softkey shows "notification" only few millisecondes then shows the normal softkey for 3secondes (i will soon try without custom softkey) and it loop. Futhermore when it happens i can't see any notification icon in taskbar (i don't known if icon should be there) It append for all notification and reminders (task calendar missed called) and in my two device htc p3450 and etenX800 and with both wm6 and 6.1 the only app i have always in the two device is QuickMenu 2.7 (very nice) (i will try to remove it). the problem is not always but is geating worst when i install more apps(maybe one of them is the problem).
Does somebody knoes how to fix this. or at least.
Is there a solution to make a notification window active without the softkey and without icon. Is there a solution to always show notifications Icon.
Thanks and good work(very good site full of information).
help me please
if something is not clear i can even try to send a video of the pb
What phone, OS, ROM, and reminders? If you are using custom softkeys, try removing them.
thank to help me
Curently my phones 3450 WM6 latest official rom
and EtenX800 WM6.1 CustomLight Rom(i had official before)
i have this problem with all these configurations and quite all notifications and reminders (ex : missed call, task reminders,the notification a the first windows startup who ask for sending info to microsoft ,etc...)
the notification which is the most blocked is the one generated by quickmenu when i tap on his battery icon.Futhermore as i haven't seen this problem in any forum and as i have this problem whit very diferent configuration (OS PHONE ROM PROG)i think this probleme come from Quickmenu which is the only common point i see.
I am asking myself if somebody else has already seen this? answer will be welcome
I have removed custom softkey and i have seen the problem again
I Have Found
I have disabled the QuickMenu taskbar icon which indicate free memory and battery and the problem has disapeared.
But it's a shame i loved to see my free memory ram in the taskbar.
Is somebody know a app or a way to show free memory ram in text and in Mb on the taskbar. (i already found wktask which doesn't work properly)
Hello,
I discover this topic which is close to my small issue: since I migrate to a Manila 2D based Rom (HTC Polaris / P3650), the reminders notifications pop up as expected but aren't anymore replacing the left softkey on my today screen (when the notifications pops up, everything is ok, but if I don't immediately press any key, it definitely vanished from the today).
The taskbar and menu bar icons are ok but since this notification disapears from the today's softkey, I'm not anymore abble to directly open the notification's menu, nor the text notification.
Is there any registry key where I could fix it ?

Sorry for multiple posts... seems there is some server bugs
I'm not sure if this is a setting or a byproduct of TF3D, but I can't stand the way that alerts work.
If I have a reminder for an upcoming appointment, the notification toast doesn't appear at the bottom like it did with my Mogul and other WM devices. The chime goes off and the alert icon appears on the menu bar, so I hit that, I get the menu bar selection screen and then if I hit the alarm bell, the toast displays at the bottom.
I'm running the default Sprint ROM for now, with some of the basic tweaks. This (and the inability to use a 4-pin headset) are my only real remaining beefs.
Is there a config or tweak I can do, is this just the way it is?

I have a ATT fuze so I dont know how much of difference the set up is...Did you look in system, sounds and notifications then notifications then scroll to reminders and make sure display message on screen is checked...What else have you installed that could be interferring?
Slawcops hint did the trick here.
After upgrading to the newest HTC official (dutch) ROM, TF3D was always in front of such system messages.
By going into the setting menu, sounds and notifications, notifications tab
then selecting "Reminders" (I guess thats what's it called in the english version) in the dropdown box and enabling the "show message in screen" my problem was solved.
Hope this helps!
edit: It would seem this action is needed every time after a soft-reset...if anyone knows where and if this value is stored in the registry, I would really like to know.
The ability to toggle things on and off from the home screen have always been important to me. This is something I feel is major that WP7 doesn't have. I am looking for the ability to have a toggle switch to turn Wifi, bluetooth, airplane mode, and other similar things on and off from the home screen. In searching the closest thing I could find is this:

If anyone knows about development of toggle switches or know if they are coming in the update that would be great. Thanks in advance.
Try attached file this contain toogle for.
airplane mode
wifi settings
bluetooth
data connection

Are these supposed to be toggle switches for the home screen or just open then settings for each individual application? For me this is taking it from three steps to turn Wifi on and off of only two steps. Thank you for the reply, and I absolutely love your registry thread, but I don't think this is what I am looking for. Please let me know if I am wrong.

I would like to see them in metro style. Simple white icons without the 3d effect.

No problem. You can do it yourself.
1. Rename the .xap file to .zip
2. Unzip the file
3. Open the unzipped folder
4. Replace the application and background icons with the icons of your choice (same size)
5. Zip all files again
6. Rename the new .zip file to .xap
7. Deploy
Personally I use Dinik Anastasia icons because on OMNIA 7 they look much better than the metro icons...

Not Switches
Once you go to settings and set each of these application you do not need a button on the home screen to get back to each individual setting. This is a waist of space for a home screen that is supposed to be clean. The switch would just turn it on and off from the home screen. I am not looking for a shortcut (and I know what one is), I am hoping to find someone working one toggle switches for the home screen.
What it would need to be is a program that runs a live tile. When the particular tile is clicked on the home screen it would have the program switch that particular connection on or off.
The look of the tile doesn't matter unless it is a useful tile.

better than this you don't get for the moment
I figured this when I searched and searched and couldn't find anything. I am hoping to spur somebody into working one this, or finding someone that already is. I was also hoping to find out if Microsoft was thinking about this.
What I would love is a one tap shortcut to 1 page with all the toggles. So instead of me going to setting- wifi - on I could go settings -on , this would apply for bluetooth, location, brightness, etc.
I swore I saw this app posted somewhere but so far all i could find are the individual app shortcuts.
PS If you're like me and actually use voice control all the time, I actually installed the wifi and location shortcuts but didn't pin them to the home screen I simple hold down the start button and say "Open Wifi" works like a charm!
I'm also waiting for a toggle feature. In fact its the only reason I haven't purchased a WP7 device yet.
As soon as there's an easy way to toggle data on/off I'm buying the HD7.
take a look .

The OP said 3 or 4 times that he doesn't want to have that, lucmar! And if you would read the first page you would see exactly that! He wants to have a toggle to switch it on/off! Is reading a post that hard?
Personally the live toggle tiles are a waste of space. My idea is to have the toggles in the menu bar that pops up when you press the volume buttons.
So you press the volume buttons, the menu pops up, you swipe left or right (same you get rid of notifications) and it brings up another part of the menu bar with access to all the common toggles.
The main advanage of this is that you can access the toggles from anywhere as the volume bar is OS wide so you don't have to quit your app/game to access the toggles unlike if you have live tiles.
This is a great idea and would be nice as an overall experience. This would take a lot of programming, and at the rate Microsoft is coming out with updates, this would not be done for another 2 or 3 years. That is why I can asking for a very simple program that turns on and off settings and has a toggle switch when pinned to the home screen. This would only take a day or two by an experience programmer. Anyone?

Well I don't know if MS reads this forum or if anyone at xda is even working on this.
That's actually a great idea. To swipe the volume bar to get comm manager toggles. Clean and simple
