Bluetooth icon size function change + calendar default view

Hi,
im lookin for some info on changin the size(making it slightly larger in size) and function of the bluetooth icon on my Imate jam, i was hoping to make it a tap, tap+hold icon, so that tap would activate/deactivate BT an tap+hold would go to further settings. anyone heard of anything like this going around, id prefer to customize the original rather than using a 3rd party fix unless it fixes the original directly. any suggestions as to how i might go about this would be well appreciated.
while im at
anyone heard of a way to make the stock calendar always open on a certain view?..ie always open to month view even when closed from a different view. i know if you close it it will retain the last setting but i usually select day from month and edit then close..which sets the view to day..... i assume it would probably be a reg edit but i couldnt find anything in the even mentionin the calendar. again any help would be welcome.
thanks Speedn

Haven't heard of something like that, but maybe this is a useful alternative for you:
Try buzz_lightyear's SwitchIt (look at this post). With thisyou can place shortcuts on your today screen which allow you to control your bluetooth settings. Besides switching bluetooth on/off/discoverable you also can switch on/off your devices infrared. It runs perfectly on my MDA compact.
I'm working on a little frontend, which will allow you to control all your connection settings on one single page (see also at the above mentioned post).

Re: Bluetooth icon size function change + calendar default v
Ahh Buzz's 'switch it' is cool..
i also found this little beauty just before i checked back here
miniBT trial
http://www.pocketgear.com/software_detail.asp?id=16666
they are both quite nice, buzz's has more function though.
miniBT is sligthly smaller in size(13kb) and only has the one funtion,on/off.
thanks for pointin buzz's post out
I will see if buzz can do anythin like what i was chasing.

Old Notification Manager,for gods sake..Please..

I have searched the whole xda forum but couldn't find a solution to remove the crappy new notification manager on my TD2. This is so useless,why a Notification Manager will pop up when I click the Battery or volume or network icon,it should show the details of every icon separately.I just want the OLD notification manager and I am sure I am not the only person who wish to have the Old one. So guys please tell me some positives,will look forward to your inputs.
Thanks in advance.

ya, i need it too

Yes, that was the first thing that struck me too!
I went and disabled that crappy notification manager completely. I now get the WM 6.1 bubbles.
.

Actually.. my issue with the new notification manager is the speed.
I want instant access to these.. not requiring me to wait abt 1-2secs.
the diamond1 screen was simple and basically had enlarged icons only.. but that was instant. Does anyone know if we can use the D1 notification manager on our D2?

How did you do that?

I already wrote about it on my blog (in german) at
http://mytd2.blogspot.com/2009/06/unnutzer-benachrichtigungsmanager.html
about it, google translates it to:

Not a very good translation lol - might post things here shortly, but you should get what it's about.

Hm,but didn't understand the last two .cabs. There are two cabs,why are they there? If I install the 'NoNotification' cab will it work? or it's a must to install TaskManager 3.1 and Registry Editor?

CABs that only have registry tweaks in them don't appear as "programs" so they can't get uninstalled that way. That's why I put 2 CABs, one to make the change, one to revert it.
NoNotification.CAB will deactivate the notification manager (soft reset required)
Notifcation.CAB will activate it again, in case you don't like the changes it brings
No need to install FDCSoft's TaskManager or a Registry Editor, those are both alternative ways to the CAB installation.

Thanks a lot,that cab did work great.

Hi,
I agree that the Topaz Notification Manager is quite useless..but did anyone try the Enhanced Notification Manager?It's functional, without going back to old notification systems. Because finger tapping the icon you want has become very difficult (e.g I have a modded task bar with tiny icons), you still get the entire list of ongoing notifications, but each of them is clickable and redirects to the relative settings.I'm happy with it .
Greetz

You can find Topaz Tweak Software here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502102 , with it is possible turn off and on Enhanced Notification.

Does Enhanced Notification Manager works with MS Shell 3.0?
Cos I disable the TF3D and runing MS shell 3.0

How did you get the small task bar icons? Would it work, or do you know how, to change the keyboard (SIP) button size - the button has a large tap area which prevents me from tapping the toolbar buttons in some programs - it seems to overlap the other buttons so when I tap them only the keyboard pops up!!

good info here!

Thanks TinTin - excellent tweak. It worked for me. I used MemMaid instead for Option 1.

[REQ] Manila 2.5/2.6/Sense - 4 Columns Shortcuts, Missed Calls, Date Format

Lokking for some new manila tweaks:
1.is it possible to change the shortcuts in Manila 2.5/2.5/Sense to 4 columns?
They're too big anyway and icons look bad this big...
2.there is no missed calls indicator in new manila, only in taskbar, is it possible to add bubble for missed calls in home tab icon like in new SMS or new EMAIL?
3.could not change date format, i edit 2c89bd29_manila but it does not shown correctly (shows IDS_??????)... how can i set date format to 31.12.2009?
10x.

Hi,
I tried to edit the file you wrote here (2c89bd29_manila) and it works correctly. I have edited the IDS_DATEFORMAT and have also found there the IDS_DATEFORMAT_SMALLVIEW value, which I have also edited and it also works...
Perhaps you have specified an incorrect formatting symbols and the parser doesn't understand it and therefore it displays that... Try d.MM.yyyy
I have manila version 2.5.19193431.0
SmArt

Any news on the missing missed call thingy ? Would be very cool if we could have this back in 2.5. I saw some german guys talking about replacing the text "agenda" (under the date / alarm buttons) by missed calls. Could make much of the german though. would be nice, who needs the "agenda" text anyway..

It has been discussed here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=553307
In fact, you can show the call history and you can also change the softkey of M2.5 by using this tool.

Customize Acer's S200 homescreen

I found a way to change those 3 shortcuts, that acer did not alowed to remove/change them.
ok with a registry aditor go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/software/Acer/shell/Homescreen
and will see some strings values like
ShortcutLinkPathx
then edit the ShortcutLinkPath1 (or 2 0r 3) and erase the adress of the shortcut.
now save changes, go to homescreen ans press edit!
you would be able to change them whatever you want!

Alarm Clock - HTC Leo (HD2) - How to increase the number?

Hi,
Can someone tell me how can i increase the number of Alarm Clocks? by default there are three and they are not enough for me.
My device is HTC Leo (HD2).
i wonder if someone knows which registry entries can be modified to add more that the three alarms. there is big room in the screen for more ...
appreciate you replies.

Alarm Clocks
Hi,
my question above now clarified

Alarm Clocks
I have the same question... please help

I'm not sure if you can tweak the existing alarm software, but I've made a little alarm clock/stopwatch/timer app that you can have a bunch of timers on. (It's also more touch friendly than the windows one).
I've attached it if you'd like to try it out.
Justin

Nice work "Turbo4V" ... but your software lacks the function in the HTC's alarm to assign days for each alarm.
i still think that you can modify something in the registry in LEO to have similar functionality of your "Add".
i hope you or anyone else can tell me how to do that ... or ... improve your software to add the selection of days functionality

i want this to. any one know what file in the register? i dont want another app. i just want that on the htc hd2. but i want more then just 3

i want to know as well, i m happy with the existing alarm, all i need is increase the number of the alarms
please help

Any update???

Klaxon alarm clock, i use this one myself.
cant post urls as a new member but a quick google search should find it

I use touch alarm. It´s free and diplays the time in Sense home page.
http://touch-alarm.com/

any news about the subject?

Has nobody seriously found a fix for this problem yet ?
It's a major problem for me, I've had to resort to using my old mobile as an alarm clock!!
