Does anybody has Battery Meter software for showing in Today Screen? I don't want any heavy stuff that will make my Today Screen Lag, just an indicator showing Battery Performance only. So, could someone upload the file to the forum if possible? Thanks guys
hey mate,
not sure about other apps as i've gotten used to having my systeminfo in my today screen. here's a screen shot of the plugin; it displays the power bar, the memory and the running apps. for the third one; the "n" allows you to switch to the next app running, the "a" pulls up the screen for the running app, the "c" closes the present one running and the "closes" all of the running apps. let me know if you need this; i can post the cab file. rather small in size too.
cheers

WM2003SE
Hi robson....
From the screen shoots, it looks nice. U r using WM2003SE rite? The software stable? No bugs in it or conflict with the OS? Well, could you upload it to the forum? I'd like to try it out, thanks mate
hey ilmans,
yup using wm2003se; no bugs with the systeminfo app. even supports landscape mode. and just to make a small correction and addition:
"the "n" allows you to switch to the next app running, the "a" pulls up the screen for the running app, the "c" closes the present one running and the X "closes" all of the running apps." you can also click on the white field which shows the app listed; this pulls up the screen for the program running.
cab file is attached; just paste in your my docs folder (xda); go to file explorer, run the file (auto install), then go to your today items menu, check systeminfo (you can also use options to make the fields transparent) then back to the today screen and there you go.
cheers mate

I read from Magic Button's official website that they have a new version 2.1 that resolves the task bar color problem. However, when I followed the link to download.com, it is 2.0 that get downloaded, and this version mess up my task bar.
Google on "Magic Button 2.1" does not yield any result.
Has anyone got version 2.1 or is able to post a link?
Thanks.
Edit: Found the link. It is on the official webpage itself! The download.com's copy has not been updated.
Hmm... it's a shame that even version 2.1 mess up the color. My black task bar color is no longer black. It's today icon is also in the wrong position, covering half of my network signal (in 128dpi. Did'nt try the other dpi yet)
What a pity. It has been my favourite task manager for a long long time, and was given up when I moved to WM6. I was so excited when I saw the version update history, and thinking that 2.1 would work without problem in WM6. Looks like we have to wait for version 2.2 and see if it works.
Fortunately, pBar is working. It does not show the running tasks on the taskbar, but that's the next best thing now.
Thanks for the tip. The taskbar colors are much improved, but not perfect.

Thanks for the solution regarding Today icon position. Came across your post before, but didnt remember it untill you mentioned it. Thanks
But the color is outright the wrong color at the moment. It is the default blue whereas my task bar is black. Is there a way to fix the color? I really like the glossy black task bar, and unless MB can blend in, I would stick with pBar.
Sorry, I'm using the default blue theme, so MB looked pretty good to me.
Do a search on using UITweaker to fix the MB colors... not sure how it will work with the new version though.
With further investigationk, I found out that magic button is not actually showing only in blue color. It is able to use any WM6 color. The reason it does not blend in to my black task bar was because my black taskbar was "painted over" by Tweak2k2 rather than part of a black theme.
I tried it with other colors besides blue, and found out that it can blend in with any color.
Now the logical thing for me to do is to come up with a glossy black taskbar WITHOUT using Tweak2k2.
Can someone give me some pointers on how I can change my taskbar to glossy black ?
BTW, Steve, your tips on changing the Today icon position works beautifully. Thanks for that.
Still lots of bugs?
Magic button 2.1 seems to be quite buggy.
The position of the today icon just randomly moves about. It even moves all the way to the right, completely wipe off my clock and date, network signal, and other icons. When it is not doing that, the position of the today icon does not seem to stay at the same position. I notice that the registry value changes by itself as this happens.
Any idea what causes this and if there is a cure?

I use this program as well and it's also my favorite. I'm considering putting it into 3.0 of AP when released.
Yes it's a little buggy and I've noticed that the fix for color blending isn't working very well, nor is the placement of the house icon. I've e-mailed the developer to see if they can resolve this. If they fix both issues it would be a perfect addition to the ROM as it would replace xbutton and batti (buggy batti btw and I've disabled it for now with a tremendous improvement).
Thanks for noticing the registry value changes on it's own. Maybe we can lock down that value some way so this doesn't happen but it may cause an issue. Not sure if there is a way to lock down registry values or protect them in WM6 but it's worth a look into.

There is some slight movement of the Today icon upon closing all active tasks, but not enough to cause problems for me.
I suspect when the Today icon moved all the way to the right (covering all your taskbar info) you may have inadvertently changed the registry setting by selecting Magic Button 'Settings.' If you go into Settings, it will overwrite the hack, and if you don't select "Show clock and 4 icons" it defaults to 0, moving the Today icon all the way to the right upon exiting Settings. I think if you do the hack last, after getting all your other options set, the hack will hold... at least it seems to for me.
I think the flaw is too serious
Icon position
==========
I tried the registry edit, and found out that in 128dpi, the smallest value for the position (as described in Steve's post) is 06. That would place the today icon immediately to the left of the phone signal icons, and would cover up any mail message and vueflo icon. If you make it 08 so as to enable the vueflo and mail message icons to be visible, then when you move to 192 dpi portrait mode, the today icon would be completely off to the left of the screen (i.e. does not appear on the device at all).
This means that with value of 08, magic button is completely non-functional in 192 dpi.
Even with value of 06 (which still covers some icons in 128 dpi), at 192dpi it is no longer possible to close an application. This is because we need to press and hold the running icons on the task bar in order to close it. At 192 dpi, the runnng icon is no longer visible on the taskbar, thus you can longer press and hold in order to close it. Even if there is only one application running, as long as you are not on today screen, the running icon would not appear on the taskbar. If you're on today screen, because the today icon shifts unexpectedly to the right by one position, then it is possible to close the running application if you have only one application running. However, if you have more than one running, then even on today screen, you could not close any application. The only way around this is to switch to the landscape mode so that running icons have room on the taskbar to appear.
Color
====
The color blends better in 96 and 192dpi. In 128, the look is bad. Unfortunately, most of the time I'm using 128dpi.
I think pBar is still the one.
But seriously, I do not say that pBar is perfect. In fact there are a few problems, as listed below:
1) the date and time color is not right. My solultion: don't use it.
2) the favourites items could not be rearranged. The move button does not work. My solution: not a big deal. I don't need to move them.
The only regret is that it does not put up the running icons on the task bar, therefore, switching/closing program is a two click process instead of one click. Similarly, going back to the today screen is a two click process instead of magic button's one click.
Its advantages are also plenty:
1) it is very space efficient.
2) it solves the problem of comm manager in realVGA display.
3) it allows up to favourites program to be quick launched.
4) it really has no problem in realVGA environment. Magic button does not handle realVGA very well, in terms of icon positioning.
I am new to all this so apologies for the long winded account.
Object: I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 on an Asus TF201 Prime along with Android 4.03
- Dual boot.
Existing situation: At the moment I have Ubuntu 12.04 up and running but I
have encountered a few problems.
BACKGROUND DATA:
Computer ASUS TF201 Prime 64Gb SSD
Unlocked
Rooted
ROM: stepped down from 9.4.2 .21 to 9.4.2 .15
Android ver.: 4.03
Ubuntu img(Full 3.34Gb) and startup files: from ZPwebsites. No response by ZP to
requests for assistance
with fully paid version
of Ubuntu Install.
Installed Ubuntu 12.04 on 32Gb sdcard
Using terminal and Android VNC to activate Ubuntu 12.04.
Screen resolution set at 1280x800 24bit colour
PROBLEM:
Ubuntu main screen opens in normal Ubuntu colours except for
the icons on the LHS. These buttons are greyed out and without
any glyphs.
An error message apears: "System program problem detected Do you want to
report the problem now?"
There is no further information about the problem but there is "cancel" button alongside a "Report the problem now?"It would be interesting to know to whom the error is reported and how!
On sliding the cursor along the RHS of the menu pop-out
indicator will indicate what icon is close to the cursor.
The upper task bar appear to have overlapping features. For example, the word "ubuntu desktop" is partially masked by another sub-menu which indicates the time.
Using either a mouse or a stylus one can activate these icons.It helps to know
the positioning of various programs on the LHS menu!
On activation,however, not all of the selected icon react in the correct manner.
'Dash' -- On activation the sub-screen "Search" is subject to very fast flickering.
Ocasionally one can get a glimpse of the items present in the 'Dash'
menu and, if one is quick enough, can even sucessfully select a
program in the 'Dash' menu.
'Mozilla'-- Tries to run Mozilla but encounters aproblen and then goes into
a 'report problem routine'. The program seems to be searching for
a non-existent e-mal address. In short one cannot use Mozilla.
'Ubuntu Software Center' --When selected it will open correctly and one can
download programs which will function properly.
'Libre Office' etc. -- The three item in this collection seem to function correctly.
So three problems: (1) Greyed-out 'icons' on full 24bit coloured background
with no glyphs on the 'icons'.
(2) Dash menu subject to intense flickering
(3) Mozilla has a problem starting
Are problems 1 and 2 related to screen refresh rates?
Or is it a problem of screen resolution?
If so how can I adjust these items?
By the way has as anyone set an ASUS TF201 Prime to run Ubuntu only? If so how?
Any and all help appreciated.
Have you thought about installing a lightweight desktop such as XFCE or Fluxbox (even try Gnome) to see if the problem lies within Unity or the "core" of Ubuntu?

Both the small version of Ubuntu and Ubuntu 10.10 appear function correctly. In the case of
Ubuntu 10.10 I set the screen resolution width to 1280 and the screen resolution height to 760
pixels. The greying-out problem appears to be confined to Ubuntu 12.04 desktop page and the Dash page.
Because I was able to get glimpses of the contents of the Dash page could the problem be
that the refresh rate is too low?
anyone know how to change the screen size while in webtop 3.0 on rooted razr?
i have it plugged into a PC monitor which is square but webtop is configured for a rectangular phone or tablet, so the screen is letterboxed inside my monitor, with wasted/black space above and below so e.g. i can only see a limited number of lines at a time of an e-mail message
wondering if there's a way to change the screen dimensions so it uses whole screen (rather than letterbox or just stretching same rectangle vertically to fit square screen with no added usable space)
ps - i installed ubuntu in an effort to restore the webtop 2.0 firefox functionality, but it's too slow and quirky - so now i'm just hoping to make 3.0 more usable until a better ubuntu implementation or other solution is available
Hi Guy's,
I have firestarter installed on my firetv box and is running great the only problem is that the resolution seems to be outside my screen meaning that I can barely see the date and clock on the above right corner and when I load apps I can only see half of the writing...I guess somehow I need to zoom out perhaps but I couldn't find an option to do so...so I can see the entire Firestarter screen.
Thank you for you help!
Hi in settings go to the first option "display" here you can set the screen resolution ie 1080p or 720p but there is also an option to adjust the aspect ratio there are 4 arrows top bottom and each side and you adjust the screen until the arrow heads are just touching the sides..
