How to remove "TNT Battery Level" ? NOW SORTED !!! - Touch Pro, Fuze General

Hi,
I installed this app and now want to remove it. The problem is, when I use settings - system - remove programs, it simply switches off the colour of the guage, the guage itself stays in monochrome.
To help this along, I have removed the battery level.lnk file in /windows/Startup, restarted, then tried to remove the app - no difference. Using Task Manager 3.1, I have looked for battery processes running, checked the registry, etc, etc. But nothing remaining looks like it belongs to TNT battery. So how is it remaining? I'm baffled!
I could just leave it there, but I would suspect that it's presence is using up the very resource it is measuring - precious battery power! Maybe even more so, because it now appears "half installed".
I have spent about 1.5 hours searching XDA Developers for any ideas on this but nothing helps. I'll probably have to do a hard reset if I can't get rid of this, before I do, can anyone help?

I've tried more - still baffled
Disassembled the original CAB, more searching on XDA. Still clueless
WTH is maintaining a status line on the top in line with my battery % remaining.
I'd really appreciate any help on this. It looks like the components removed by the deinstall only switch off the rainbow colours. But I can't see what is retained and keeping the monochrome indicator. If it's not in the CAB, where could it be?
Did the original .exe hack some data in a system file? Somebody help - I'm cracking up and REALLY don't want to do a hard reset

How many files are in the cab? Just look those up and remove them. My guess it that there's a service .dll in there that you missed. Delete the registry key for it; re-start, then delete the .dll. It's probably in \windows. You can always use total commander to open up windows (with 'hide files in rom' selected), then organize by date modified and if you just installed the app, whatever junk is in windows will be at the top of the folder.
The other option is to re-install the cab, and when the window appears with the message 'must remove application before installation,' let it remove the installation, then cancel when it wants to re-install.

Thanks Farmer Ted.
This is the _setup.xml file in the install cab - I just opened this with zip on my PC. I've never looked at a cab before, but to me it looks like there are only 2 files - the .exe and the .lnk that points to it. It appears there are no registry entries at all.
After an install, the lnk file is put in \Windows\Startup and (when you look at its file properties) it points at \Windows\BatteryLevel.exe. This .exe is put in \Windows. Looking at the below, I would have thought that this is installed in a directory called \WHATEVER %CE1% IS\TNT\Battery Level but there is no directory called TNT anywhere. I am using GSFinder V1.99 to check directories on my Touch Pro and I can see all system files, etc.

When I remove this, both the above files disappear, as does the rainbow battery guage at the very top of the screen, bizarrely, a monochrome one remains. I have switched the phone off, pulled out the battery, waited for 10 minutes, but the thing simply doesn't want to go away. And to be clear - the monochrome thing is functional - its width correctly indicated the battery life remaining.
As suggested, I've also sorted the files in \windows in date order, but that doesn't offer any clues. I've also reinstalled ontop of it and rebooted after it itself claimed to have removed the old version. No difference.
At this point, I could have done a hard reset and have everything back and reinstalled with the time I've put into this, but now I'm kinda feeling determined to crack this.
Is it possible that I have somehow got a residual skin which somehow tracks the battery life? Or - going back to my original point - is it possible for the batterylevel.exe to hack some system data in such a way that an uninstall won't be able to reverse? I have looked and searched very hard in the registry (using Task Manager v3.1) but can see nothing.
Any help appreciated .

Forgot to mention ...
That I have a completely standard, out of the box, ROM.

TNT Battery Level <- The thing I want to get rid of, but can't!
filedlgchg
PQzII
TICST (Touch InCall Screen Tweak)
Gps2day
Battclock
Any ideas before I smash this nut with a sledgehammer?

You know, there's a decent chance that one of the other apps has the same sort of battery meter in it. I would check wktask or battclock (probably this one) and see if either has a battery meter option. I'm with you, I hate those sorts of battery meters, they make the screen look funky. I'm pretty sure that you removed everything from the TNT meter, as you said, there's only two files in there.
How is gps2day working for you? I tried it out when it was first released, but I was getting a huge shell32.exe memory leak with it running, so I stopped using it.

RE: GPS2day. I installed it and had a quick play. It worked ok but I wouldn't say I used it enough to know is it was leaking memory. In fact, I have left it installed and removed it from my Today screen. After all my fun with the TNT Battery Level utility, it got me thinking that all these things running - or even being available in a "static" state - on the today screen are consuming battery resources. My last phone was a Kaiser and I would say its battery lasted better than the TP's. Maybe it just the extra effort to run a screen with 4 X the pixels. Or maybe its the way I have the TP configured (Touch FLO off!)
Thanks for your other thoughts on my sticky battery meter - might try to play some more.

GPS2Day will definitely drain the battery, if you keep the gps on, but most plugins aren't a problem. I run PDC constantly, as well as the PDA status plugin (you should get that one, it's excellent), weather2go and sk today commander. It's not a major resource drain, you can check it with tbattery.
With gps2day, I could look at shell32 in a task manager, and it was consuming much more ram than normal.

Wrong information. GPS hardware unit drain battery, not application.
GPS2day takes less than 100K memory when running.
More of that memory are discardable resources - graphics objects and strings.

Well, duh, the gps drains the battery, but if you have a plugin running that has the gps turned on, then of course you're going to encounter battery drain.

Of course, I should have read your response fully - I only played around with battclock. Then, in my preparations for a hard reset, I was checking for the latest versions of some of the apps I have installed. Guess what I tripped over? In xda-developers? This thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=479427
In the settings menu of Wktaskl, "General2" tab, disable "Show Battery Gauge on the upper bar"
I should listen to advise more carefully in future.
Thanks!

Magician ExtROM accesible

(source: ppc-welt.info)
The ExtROM of the MDA Compact (aka XDAIIi, Magician) can be accessed by soft-resetting AFTER having gone thru the initial startup (calibrate screen and all that) and BEFORE the customisation.
The ExtROM will then be visible.
Normally during customisation "Delete_vdisk_shortcut_ger.cab" or (a similar cab on non-T-Mobile Magician) will make the ExtROM invisible. The ExtROM stays locked, so you can only copy things off!!
In the ExtROM appear to be ywo interesting cabs:
- "T9.cab"or "Intellipad.cab" which contains a new SIP with T9 facilities. Should work flawlessly on ie a Himalaya.
- "IntelliDailer.cab" which contains the new dialer which features a T9 contact lookup. On ppc-welt.info it was stated that it doesnt work flawlessly on a Himalaya, but maybe that can be figured out?
There are some german language versions going round, but I also see the need of getting the English language versions of both IntelliPad and Intellidialer . . .
and here it is...
and remeber, these files are for test purposes only
Thanks, I will try/test something with it.
Hopefully the English version pops up one of these days.
BTW, I opened the cab that hides the ExTROM (aka VDisk) on Magician. In it there is a xml-file that seems to do the hiding trick:
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\HTC\Customize">
<parm name="DelFileCount" value="1" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="DelFile1" value="\Windows\AutoStart\LoadVDisk.lnk" datatype="string" />
</characteristic>
Should be possible to create a CAB that inverts this hiding . . . .(I gues by removing the two keys DelFileCount and DelFile1)
I have tried to install intellidialer.cab,
but I only see my dial skin changed to T-mobile style,
how to enable the T9 dialer ? any ideas ?
mmm, that definitely IS the question.
isnt there any tools/setting option?
I noticed this new dialer also has the 'old style' pictures in it. Guess it is possible to choose between onld-style-dialer and IntelliDialer then.
same problem too...
Intellidialer
seems to work great on sorting contacts on PDA2K.
After installing I switched my dial pad skin back to xda skin chooser and all works great.

Steve: You got it working then?
Must be the WM2003SE os the Blue Angel features (and the Himalaya lacks . . .)
For now: Pity for us . . . .
Add Blackberry -anyone?
My biggest wishlist...
Possible to add Blackberry Connect extracted from XDA II and cook it in this XDA IIi ExtROM?
I don't know if it helps but on Compactjam I read the following:
To view or hide the EXTENDED_ROM of the MDA Compact without a hard reset, do the following...
Edit the registry key...
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\StorageManager\Profiles\VDisk\ and add a DWord key with the follwing value:
To hide...
MountFlags=1
To Show...
MountFlags=0
...and do a soft reset.
It doesn't work.
@little_frog
Well you must be doing something wrong then. I just tried it and I can indeed show or hide the Extended_ROM.
It didnt work on mine as well.
My VDisk reg setting reads:
Folder : Extended_Rom
MountFlags : 0 (added by me)
Name : Extended_Rom
Is it any difference from yours?
It didnt work on mine as well.

You don't need to change anything in registry.
Just run \Windows\LoadVDisk.exe to see Extended Rom folder.
This folder will be visible without soft reset.
After soft reset you don't see it again.
Darek
i aint got that on my imate jam?
Just go to your WIndows folder and scroll down, you will see a file named LoadVdisk.exe, run it and you will see the ext rom folder. Worked on my MDA Compact.

There is NO IME in this ROM, so you need to install T9 or xT9 after flashing.
The Short_AP1 ~ Short_AP4 are not defined, because SP5 and SP5m are different with those keys. If you don't know how to defined them, you can download the sp5.zip or sp5m.zip, and unzip it to \Windows, everything will be OK.
you can copy the startup.wav & shutdown.wav into \Windows directory, and then you will get boot sound and shutdown sound.
If you don't like the boot screen, you can change it in to what you want, The administrator login picture is \Windows\startup.jpg. The boot Animated Boot Screen is \Windows\WindowsOpen.gif, and the Animated Shutdown Screen is \Windows\WindowsClose.gif.
if you want to use Voice Command with BT headset, try this: MS Voice Command 1.6 BT over headset with latest wm6 ROM. Thanks for janp's contribution.

How to turn off Control Panel icons?

"Settings", on the WM6 cooked ROMs....
In particular some have the "Windows Update" icon (which will screw you hard if it works at all - hard reset time!) and others have the "Feedback" icon which does nothing.
They're not easily visible in the kitchens as LNKs or EXEs - does anyone know how to "depopulate" things from the settings that you don't want in there?
update
Im hitting this at the moment.
Most of them arre easy to change. .
HKLM>ControlPanel>Bluetooth> dword:"Group" = 6 (Or any number other than, 0,1,2) will remove it.
However like you've found, some of them aren't controllable like this. I'm trying to get the Update one as well. Just need to figure out where its stored.
for reference
For reference,
If you wanted to remove the "Buttons" app from the personall tab, your provisioning code would be.

This moves it to the tab "6" which doesnt exist, so it doesnt display it.

WM6.5 popup menus are too big, how to make them smaller?

Hello!
I've asked this question under the rom I'm using, but I think this question does not necessarily belong there.
So, I ask it again here.
One of the changes in WM6.5 is the size of popup menus. How can we change it's size so it's more like in WM6
I'm sure I've seen menus with normal spacing between the options in WM6.5, but I can't remember what I did or if it was made in rom like that.
For example in messaging menu in WM6 it fits into screen, in WM6.5 we have to scroll it to see all the options. Changing popup menu font size (via advanced config) does not make spacing smaller, so in order to fit whole menu in inbox I have set font size to 500 which is waaaay too small.
Thanks.
The idea of 6.5 is to make everything more finger friendly. So to make it smaller would make it harder to press. My guess is that your going to want to see how you can change the system or context menu font. I don't know how that can be done, but my friend google can help.
I understand the reason it was done, but still such significant changes should not be done with possibility revert it the old style.
The font used there is Verdana, and I doubt it has so much extra spacing above and below (see screenshots above).
I refuse to believe that this question never discussed here and has no answer
Got a cab for that larger finger menu?

do you know how to make the menu scroll by page instead of item by item?
install and open total commander. go to \\\Plugins\registry\HKLM\System\GWE\Menu\Popfnt and there should be two dword values that you can change to whatever you like. "Ht" (height) which is default to 1000 and "Wt" (weight, boldyness) which is default to 700. fiddle with these all you like and see which best suits you. you have to soft restart after every change to see it. dont be shy with these, you can change them in 100 intervals and fine tune from there. i actually wanted mine a little bigger and thumb friendlier so i set ht to 1100 and wt to 800 and it was perfect for me.
Thanks a lot, it helped me perfectly!
The problem is the spacing.
The menu spacing is set in the .tsk files. There is a large reg entry you need to tweak: hkcu/software/microsoft/today/menu. I've got menus that work for people with non-ape sized fingers, and I like it, lol. Check my thread UI Tweaks for 6.5.1 in the fuze rom forum at fuzemobility for the reg entries in the last post <on fuze now, can't link>. This is much better than lowering the popfnt. There's also a fix for the ridiculous tree-spacing that makes Regedit nearly unusable.
I've uploaded the reg settings. Remove the string values for different themes. I've also uploaded a custom arad theme w/ the reg settings and my wallpaper <sorry, lol>. Change the extension to .tsk and put it in \windows (soft reset, too).

Glad to help, lol.
I was tempted to start a new thread for this, but rather than do that, I figured I would just add to this one.
As previously mentioned in this thread, the menu popup size and spacing is a little excessive with the newer builds of 6.5.x (I'm currently using 6.5.3 ported from the SDK). By comparing the tsk files from 6.5 and 6.5.3 I have found there are 5 registry changes responsible for this non-sense.
Code:
Windows Mobile 6.5.3
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu">
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\ListView">
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="18" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageRightPadding" value="17" datatype="integer" />
Windows Mobile 6.5
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\Menu">
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="MenuSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\ListView">
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageTopPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageBottomPadding" value="10" datatype="integer" />
<parm name="ListViewSelectorThemeImageRightPadding" value="6" datatype="integer" />
You can change them manually by editing the registry or you can use the updated tsk files attached to this post.
Furthermore you may want to update these other registry entries....
This entry controls the font size of the popup menu (mentioned early in this thread). The default value for Windows Mobile 6.1 is
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Menu\PopFnt]
"Ht"=dword:320
Microsoft started using 3E8 instead of 320 a while ago, but I prefer the WM 6.1 default value of 320. For cooks, this is found in \SYS\Base_Lang_0409\831xxx.rgu. You may also find attempts to change this value in \OEM\OEMDrivers\.
Finally, as already mentioned, the Treeview settings were increased in WM 6.5.3. These values are complete new entries that did not exist in WM 6.5. They can safely be deleted or set to 0.
Code:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GWE\Commctrl]
"TreeviewPlusMinus"=dword:1c
"TreeviewExtraItemSpace"=dword:14
TreeviewPlusMinus controls the size of the plus/minus symbol and TreeviewExtraItemSpace adds space between tree entries. Deleting or setting both entries to zero sets things back to the way they were in WM 6.1 & 6.5.
To use the attached tsk files, rename them from *.cab to *.tsk and copy to \Windows
Yes! I'v been looking for this.
Thanks.
Calendar font and hour line

How to Store SMS on memory card

When I had WM6.1 on the phone I was able to store emails and SMS on the memory card.
The relevant registry entry is not in WM6.5
Please can any one advise if it is possible to store the emails and SMS on the memory card - or has this function been lost.
In advance of replies - Thank you.
Just try adding the registry yourself; if its not there, you can always make it
Hello,
Can anyone explain how to do that ?

Follow these steps for registry modifications... works fine for me on my WM6.5:
1. Create a new folder in storage card using file explorer… call it “Messaging”
2. Go inside that folder and create another folder called “Attachments”
3. Start Registry editor and go to HKEY_Current_User… go to Software, then Microsoft, then MAPI
4. In the split screen below you should see 3 entries, this came when you selected the “Storage Card” option for messaging in my previous email –
a. (default) (Value not set)
b. AttachPath \Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments
c. PropertyPath \Storage Card\Messaging
5. If you do not see these entries, you will need to create them
a. Create “String”.. Enter name as “AttachPath” and Value: String as “\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments”
b. Repeat the same step for next entry… Create “String”.. Enter name as “PropertyPath” and Value: String as “\Storage Card\Messaging”
6. Now lets go to “Inbox” located few entries above “MAPI”
7. Go to settings and in split screen look for “AttsOnCard”… the value for this should be 1, if not, change it by clicking on 2nd grey icon and choosing “edit value”.
8. Now go to HKEY_Local_Machine, then go to “System”… then to “Inbox”.
9. Open Inbox, then click on “Attachments folder… in the split screen below you will see an entry “AttsDir”… its value would be by default “Inbox.mst.xxxxxxxxx……….”. Edit Value, remove the previous string and change it to “\Storage Card\Messaging".
10. Now similarly, change the value of “BottomDir” to “Attachments”
11. Now similarly, change the value of “MiddleDir” to “Messaging”
12. Now similarly, change the value of “TopDir” to “Storage Card”
13. Now go to “Settings” folder below “Attachments”… there are two things we have to do here… (use the same steps as point 6 above)
a. Change the value of “AttachPath” to “\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments”… if “AttachPath” is not there, create a new String Value as mentioned in step 5.a.
b. Create new String name “PropertyPath” with value “\Storage Card\Messaging” as shown in step 5.b.
14. You are almost done now…
15. Close Registry editor. Go to File Explorer, copy all files from “\Windows\Messaging” to “\Storage Card\Messaging” … similarly for files in attachments.
16. Once you have all the data moved safely, you can delete the folders “Messaging” under \Windows and you can delete the “Inbox.mst.xxxxxxxx.xxxx……” folder in \storage card. (remember to move attachments from this folder to \Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments” as well.
17. All done… restart your device… and ENJOY!!!!
Cheers...
(Edited my previous post as it was instructions using MemMaid software i use on my device... now the above instructions can be used with any registry editor)
can you help with this work on Blacstone wm 6.5
Hi,
I tried this on my Blackstone but couldnt find step 7. "AttsOnCard":
7. Go to settings and in split screen look for “AttsOnCard”… the value for this should be 1, if not, change it by clicking on 2nd grey icon and choosing “edit value”.
Could you please inform the remaining step for Blackstone.

Just so that others also know... if you do not see AttsOnCard in the registry entries.... just create a new string and give it the value of 1.

I'm now testing an XML file for XDA_UC that I created. If it works I'll post it here.
My XML File:
<wap-provisioningdoc>
<characteristic type="Registry">

<parm name="Attachpath" datatype="string" value="\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments" />
<parm name="PropertyPath" datatype="string" value="\Storage Card\Messaging" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings">
<parm name="AttsOnCard" datatype="integer" value="1" />
</characteristic>
<characteristic type="HKLM\System\Inbox\Attachments">
<parm name="AttsDir" datatype="string" value="\Storage Card\Messaging" />
<parm name="BottomDir" datatype="string" value="Attachments" />
<parm name="MiddleDir" datatype="string" value="Messaging" />
<parm name="TopDir" datatype="string" value="Storage Card" />
</characteristic>

<parm name="AttachPath" datatype="string" value="\Storage Card\Messaging\Attachments" />
<parm name="PropertyPath" datatype="string" value="\Storage Card\Messaging" />
</characteristic>
</characteristic>
</wap-provisioningdoc>
However, the settings are applied but my mail is still in \windows\Messaging. Even after a hard reset.
Double post...!!

A hard reset will remove the settings you just made... only a soft reset is required after these settings. Also, any mails you have in device memory before these settings, will be there until you manually move them to storage card. Only new mails will download to the storage card as per these settings.
These settings are still working for me... i just tried it out with a regular Registry editor.
can't find the “AttsOnCard"

i dont have the AttsOnCard option.
until this level everything is greate but at level 7 i cant see the AttsOnCard
it's start from "commaAsSeparator "
can you help me?
thank you
Already replied to that in post #8. Youjust need to create a new string if you do not see AttsOnCard.
Guys... I just thought about it... its been very long time since i tried this... and never had to create the AttsOnCard. I do not have these settings done on my phone... but i guess i might be wrong about AttsOnCard being a "String"... if "String" doesnt work... Try a "DWord" named AttsOnCard. For me to confirm this i will have to reconfigure my mails all over again and it will be tough as i have only one phone which is frequently used.
Cheers...
