tray icon help!!! - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

hi i would like to know how u guys put up icons in the tray like power off etc..
i know its in the software.. but i want to customize mine. other software doesnt show functions to put up in tray.. tnx1

hhmmm not sure what it is you are asking
do you mean how you program as in c++ or something to put icons there ?
or do you just want to add your own icons to the bar ?
if so then maybe there is some program which let you add your own
but i guess the program would have to be made specialy to add functions to the bar dont know of any such program myself
try http://www.freewareppc.com

Have a small utility called True Toolbar. What it does it minimizes the opened apps to the traybar so that you refer to them when you want. Of course such a practice eats up your RAM. But you need to disable any "Close button" apps such as Spb Plus!
You can customize it to your choice of icons and even groups...

Icons on Traybar

Hi
I dont have any icons in my traybar. On my Qtek9000 i hade a icon for ScreenRotation and one for the ComManager and i think one for the battery, but I'm missing the 2 first so I wonder if anyone know how i can add them on my HTC Advantage?
Thnx
/Magnus
I find it annoying too that they've removed the icons from the tray bar. On the advantage the only option for now is to use the HTCHomeplug unless you're clever enough to figure out all the registry crap.
I did a bit of messing but the only one I got right was the battery icon.
So mabey you can tell me how you did get the battery icon to work..

How to HIDE / DISABLE / REMOVE system icons from taskbar

Please anyone knows how to disable selected icons form taskbar?
I want to have only
Battery , Signal strenght and Unread messages Notification icons togehter with the TIME
on the task bar, no need for having rest of the icons. (In the attachment are icons for SOUND LEVEL, icon with number 1 and Edge ) Please help, after couple of weeks of searching I am getting crazy.
Using Raphael, EnergyROM (1.2 Fuzeberry), latest newest shipped radio
Thank you .
Wisbar Advance will allow for this.
You should read the whole threat:

Guys,
thank you very much for your reply.
However none of this actually solves my problem.
I tried Wisbar, but it does NOT hide any of the icons that I want to hide.
Also, the thread mentioned does not say anything about HIDING the three icons, only about changing their look.
Am I wrong in my judgement?
Cheers
i think you are wrong, because if you know how to change an icon, you can change it to an one transparent pixel icon... if im wrong, would someone please correct my assumption; i only changed the start icon of my taskbar, but i think you can take an icon in the colour of your taskbar background, so it would be "invisible" ... am i wrong??
Greetz
Boris
P.S. im also sure, that you can hide the icons with wisbar advanced eventally with the "wisbar advanced desktop" called variant that i used 2 years ago under WM2003, but its not easy to configure i remember

you are right about making icons transparent, but this does not solve my problem. I need MORE space on the taskbar, (the icon that displays number 1 is really annoying and USELESS, it serves for NOTHING at all). If I make the icons transparent, I will not see them, but they still will be there ocupying the precious space that I would use for somethibg else.
I tried the wisebar and I like it, (it is similar to Qmenu I am using), but again, it does not allow me to get rid of the annoying icons.
Am I doing something wrong? well, I am doing a LOT of thimgs wrong, but I mean in this case ...
Ok, now i see your problem, but im afraid, cant help you, but im still sure, that its possible to solve ...
Greetz & good luck

I know for sure that wisbar advance does allow what you are talking about (but I'm not sure what the number one is though as I don't have that item on my taskbar). Make sure you aren't using the lite version. I dont have wisbar install right now so I cant remember exactly how to change it, but I know if can be done because I wanted the almost the exact some configuration as you and was only able to get it via that program. Play around with it some more and if you stilll cant find it let me know and I'll check it later when I have time.
Have you searched for reg edits? I know you can remove the battery. Notifications are a bit harder though. I'm pretty sure Wisbar advanced lets you customize what icons are present, but Wisbar basically just covers up the taskbar with an overlay.
What do you need all this "extra" room for? If you edit the phcanOverbmp.dll you can delete the icons, leaving only the ones you want. It won't "remove" the icons but would make them invisible so it appears to just be 1 long bar.
I dunno, but I can't figure out what you need all this extra "space" for. It appears that's gonna be your best and fastest solution without requiring a 3rd party app to always run in the background and having to deal with the overlay of Wisbar.
its easy,
All I want to have is on the taskbar ALLTHE TIME:
TIME, BAttery and notification, but the two marked icons (ASL and Edge) prevent me from viewing the rest ofd the icons.
I just finished testing with Wisbar that unfortunatelly does not allow this. These two stupid icons that are no use for me, cannot be removed with Wisbar (latest version).
I would search the registry but where... And... I do not want to get rid of battery and time....
Same problem
Hi, I just want to remove the number 1 on the task bar. I have just installed the onyx ultimate 4.2.1 and it appeared after I turned on the cellular on the comm manager. The number 1 referrs to the phone line 1. It really annoying to se it there.
please help someone!!!
Hello. Also same problem. Also using the HTC Touch Pro (right forum, right? Pretty sure.)
This is whats on my Elite ROMS system bar:
I would like to get rid of the big H icon. It goes ot the same thing the H(with signal bars) does! And I would be able to see the entire programs name if it were removed. That, or at least my notifications wouldn't be grouped into the "Talk bubble" icon. I hate when that happens. Three friggin clicks to dismiss an alert!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Any idea? [subscribed]
Thank you for bringing this up because I use OzIM and nothing drives me more insane than not realizing I have a missed call because of the multiple notification bubble. I would be happy just to see signal strength, and thats it. I use a battery bar at the top of the screen so that battery status can go away. I hope someone finds a solution I would life to know as well.
Why not just edit the DLL files where the icons are stored...that should do the trick.
Use reshacker to edit the dll files..
what ddl files are they stored in?
Wont that only make the invisible (vs GONE). I.e. the goal is to recover the space they are inhabiting and slide the others over towards the right.
Removing the image will only "blank" out the space, not slide the others to the right.

use icon size 1 pixel width...make transparent.
They are stored in shellres.192.dll and phcanOverbmp.dll...maybe some other places too but the majority should be there.
ok ... I'm pretty sure this isnt gonna work based on the pervious comments in this thread.
But I wont know til I try. So off I go to try....
Found the shellres.192.dll file .. but if I try to copy it off the device via activesync, windws wnt let me. What gives???
How do I get it off my phone?!
Here are some linkks to registry "tweaks" for some of the icons displayed in the Taskbar:

WKTASKL FIX for wm6.5

I was missing this task manager,This is the fix for WKTASKL for wm 6.5,
In the exclusion list include Start ,Settings, Connections , Personal ,System ,.This exclusion option can be obtain by adding the "titles" in the exclusion list, and check "dont close by X butt".Thats it, give ur feedbacks.
One more fatal fix
Also put Games, Office Mobile in the exclusion list. Or take out games say solitare, or bubble from Games folder, and put it programs folder and delete Games folder.Other folder follows the steps.
Also while putting names in add list , put the correct words like Setting , Start.
This is it, I want comments guys!

May be someone comes up with that fix, that issue still remains, but u can change the colour manually.I think till WKTASKL has new V, it cant do well.
@Premo: Buddy you are doing fabulous efforts for getting it working, thats no question. But i think WKTask will give problems with WM 6.5 as it is not design to work with it. 6.5 Interface has gone major changes and one of these is MultiColor enabled themes. Under the new themes, the taskbar changes its look depending upon the place you are in the UI. Its transparent on the Today screen, semi transparent on the start menu and opaque in apps. WKTask is not compatible with these changes, its been designed for a static taskbar. Plus the start menu changes are also quiet big for it. It needs a new version before it can work properly.

Using WM6.5

I have WM 6.5 with M2D.
Where can I change the backlight, change ring/vibrate (without using side keys) and how to know we have a lost call? (I dont have call history on first screen, I only have a button on taskbar...)
WM6.5 is very finger friendly, but there are some things like this that are annoying me
How to control the lock system ?

It depends on wich rom you are using but let's give it a try,
- Backlight: start/settings/system/power/backlight
- Change ring/vibrate: start/settings/personal/phone
- Change volume: with the side-keys on your phone, or on the topbar by touching the speaker (not in all versions) and for vibrate by pressing the # button on your keypad (not in all roms)
- lost call: You see a notification on your screen if you missed a call otherwise go to the dialer-menu.
There are more ways to get the same result, so go playing with your phone and you'll see it for yourself.
Hope I helped you a little bit in the right direction.

Hi again, for your programs make a shortcut of folderview.exe, you can find it in your windowsfolder and copy it to windows/start menu/programs.
The version of Touchflo you are using I'm not sure which one that is but if you want to learn more of m2dc just go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427392&highlight=manilla
Hopefully you can find your answer there.

I think it's human mistake, maybe I'm forgotting doing something. I'll open a new thread once the one I have problems its closed.
Many thanks.
By the way, how to install that bottom bar we see in many WM6.5 ROMS? (With start icon, back button and X button but on the bottom).
Also how to get taskbar without start button ?
I saw many roms with and without, confused if its WM6.5 function or not.

It seems that you have a thread only made for us, ok first of all, I don't mind to help you, but you have to read and search a bit more and if you don't know anything, you can always send me a pm, I don't mind at all.
Ok to get back to your question, it just depends on what rom you are using proberly you are now using the naked version from DJ, and that is a com 2 branch, it means that it don't have a bottombar, in my signature you see a rom I made and that is one with bottombar also DJ made beautiful rom's with bottombar just search for his threads.
Cheers,
Look's like there's any ROM where we can control the lock.
There's any way to make those rom's auto lock after backlight turn off ?

There is an app for that - I have a link on my insomnia thread for the cab - here is the link to the thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542482
It allows you to lock the device when it goes to sleep or you switch off the backlight.

I found another app but it was not working so I will try this one.
One more question regarding using WM6.5, on WM6.1, I had a Java (I think its JRE) to (for example) install gmail/app.
I saw on your ROM java blend. It's the same thing ?

This is what comes with HTC devices and is a Java application - not sure whether all Java apps are compatible with it though.

CircleLauncher - cool launcher widget/add on

Saw this on Gizmodo:
http://www.appbrain.com/app/circlelauncher-light/de.dbware.circlelauncher.light
Multi select apps from one widget.
Liking it!
Tried this. It duplicates the launcher icons every redraw until it gets overwhelmed and FCs. Give it more time.
That problem only occurs with Angry Birds. I believe they are working on a fix.
Hi all,
Does anyone have a clue, how to:
- Add a shortcut to Circlelauncher.
I mean the shortcut should appear as app, maybe in the manu as well.
Ive been using it for a while now and think it's great! occasionally it slows down when opening one of the circlelancher widgets (i have four on my screen) but have never experienced an FC from it.
Tap to open the launcher. Currently installed apps appear. To add more, tap circle icon. List of all apps should appear. Check the ones you want....Is this what toy meant?

Do you mean getting the circlelauncher to appear on your screen? If so keep in mind that they are widgets so you have to long press on your screen and select it from the widget menu.
If you mean choosing the individual apps, you choose them from the settings menu.
Hi all, thanks for the answers.
But you dont get it, so far. So: I would like to add a shortcut (like call the chosen contact, go to wifi settings) to the circle. The problem is, that you can add only apps which are on the devicle. I should make the shortcut to appear as app, and than I could add it to circlelauncher.
Or to add shortcut somehow else. (I know that in a normal case, you can not add shortcuts to it)
I want to clear my homesreen totaly btw. Dou you know any launcher, that would let me to even make the dialer or contact button to disapperar? (have motorola defy)
BR to all.

Since the Nook Color so far can't make shortcuts, I might suggest asking in the Motorola Defy section of the forum.
facebook picture for contacts
Circlelauncher is a great widget so far, haven't had any problems. Does anyone know if it's possible to use the facebook pictures as the picture for the contacts? That would be a great addition!
Is there a way to arrange the order of the icons? I want to group like items.
Cheers,
