Ok I am trying to find a way to turn off the Mail Icon and SMS icon that show up on the top bar when either of these types of messages come in. Now I did find two ways to do this, but that also turns off the notification sound. Details below.
The one I found to turn off the SMS was:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings - SMSAvailable DWORD=0
The one I found to turn off the email was:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\
{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408} - Options DWORD=536870912 (decimal)
When I would either get a SMS or Email, the notification light would flash, and on TF3D It would show the number count of new messages without the redundant icon in the tray showing too. I thought GREAT! But then I tested it a few times even though I though it was working was no alert sound.
Basically what I am trying to do is keep the same functionality but without the extra icons in the tray. I do not know why I need both a new email/sms count with the TF3D as well as the same notification in the tray.
Anyone out there have any ideas, or clues????
As far as i know when you change the value in the reg to "536870912 (decimal)" for email notifications, that your are actually disabling notifications altogether for that function. Meaning that i dont think you can disable the icon without also disabling the the sound.
I feel you on the whole 2 notifications thing being kind of redundant. This has also bothered me for some time now.
My olny thought would be to maybe replace the icon with a blank icon but i dont know maybe somebody else has a better idea
OK this might sound stupid... How does one replace those icons? I have thought of that as well. But I have not seen a jpg, gif, png of any sort on this device of those icons?
I can make the icons easy once I know the process to replace them. Anyone able to assist in that process?
The icons are stored in dll files, so you cant just replace them with another icon real easily. I dont know too much about this, i still have some reading to do.
FInixNOver has a nice thread explaining it though.

I might try doing something this weekend on it but im busy the rest of today. I think post #5 on that thread is were the SMS and Email icons are discussed.

Thanks for this, as I was looking for a way to disable the email taskbar notification and this seems to be working fine.
While I would also like to disable the SMS taskbar notification, that one's not as critical to me right now. Seems like there should be a way to separate out the taskbar notification from the others. After all, sound and led notifications are broken out separately, why not the taskbar notification? As usual, something that should have been added into WM long ago but still hasn't been...
Did someone manage to fix the issue? I have the same need as rdhose.
Whats up guys. I have the latest Mighty Rom installed and also the S2A Black....it works fine. The only problem I have is that I cant change the font clor of my incoming call or recent call list on the dialer screen so everything is black on black. I can switch over to the S2A White with no problems, but I prefer the Black S2A. Anyone else experience this?
I tried to change these settings in the registry but it didnt change anything.
HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone
CallerNameRGB
CallerNumberRGB

Am I on the right track?
(sorry for the double post....it was an accident)

Guess it's time to throw my hat in the ring. I've tried a bunch of screen blockers and for one reason or another wasn't happy with them. CurtainCall was developed for me and a couple friends to use on our phones for work.
CurtainCall is not Open Source software. I am granting a license to XDA users to use CurtainCall. CC requires the .Net Framework version 3.5 and Windows Mobile 6 Pro or greater. It has been tested on my Sprint Touch Pro with the original rom and Sprint's updated ROM. It has also been tested on the AT&T Fuze Original ROM.
Here's a list of features in this beta version:
Battery Meter
Tasks current / overdue
Scratch Caller Picture to answer and ignore incoming calls (Scratch down 50% to answer scratch horizontal 50% to send to voicemail.
Next calendar appointment
Caller Id info with name and number
Caller Picture
Unlock when Keyboard is slide out (Display orientation changes).
Unlock on charge or computer connection
Close phone Dialer when hang up occurs
Shell notifications audible alert works
Unlock when receiving call while syncing
Change screen BackColor when screen or caller picture is pressed while unlocking.
Display 12 hour clock with date
Display Service Location (Home Roam NoSVC, Search)
Display active signal strength
Display current speaker volume setting
Battery Friendly (No Timers to reduce battery life)
Exclude some applications from CC locking the screen (Safe Programs) Don't put in activesync or cc will never lock screen.
Do Not Distrub feature
Initially lock when in call
Configurable options Double Click X to close and hit setup button
Remain unlocked when call recv'd and keyboard is out
Displays status of current data connection eg EVDO 1X EDGDE etc.
Here's some basics on 1) unlocking CurtainCall so you can use your device and 2) Answering or ignoring calls from the CurtainCall Screen. 3) Exit application and Setup Screen
1) Press down on the Clock until the background turns yellow. The clock will change to 45%. Now slide your finger down the screen until the 45% (which is where the clock now used to be) goes to 0% and release the screen. The screen will be unlocked.
2) Same concept as #1. To answer the call press the caller picture on the top portion of the picture until the background turns yellow. Slide your finger to the end of the picture and CC will answer the call. To ignore the call press the left side of the callers picture and slide to the right. The caller will be sent to voicemail.
3) The X in the upper right corner is used to Exit the application, get to the setup screens, and enter a temporary Do Not Distrub mode.
The cab file that is attached will cause CC to start when your system starts and puts an icon under programs.
Let me know what you think and if your having issues. I'll do my best to fix them, but you should know I have a full time position in IT and am a family man. So, there are some limitations on my time.
CurtainCall Update Information
Version 0.7.9
Some graphics fixes and fix for unknown caller for name when it's id'd after the fact.
Version 0.7.10
Add display of Vibrate and Silent modes. Also did testing for Windows Mobile 5 users. Hit some platform limitations. CurtainCall will NOT run on WINMO 5.
Version 0.7.11
Add config option to allow setup of Auto Start with WinMo.
Add indicator to show Do Not Distrub is active. DND is permanently set in setup
Clean up some small issues with adding safe programs
Add a temporary Do Not Distrub button in the same screen as the Exit and Setup Buttons. Additionally allow for a DND profile of Silent and Vibrate. This is set in the setup screen. With DND on the phone will only ring once and then send the caller to voicemail. For me it's much better than meeting mode in WINMO.
Version 0.8.0
Changes to help users without slide out keyboard.
Changes For Touch Pro2 Tested on stock Sprint ROM with WM6.1
i'd be happy to try it out.. but please post some screenshots. thank you
Here is the screenshot

Is it working on i780...?
Please replay if anyone tried.
-Pratap
Is it possible to show on what state the phone is, like muted or vibrating or normal? Maybe put in a small icon at the top. And maybe a functionallity to choose wheter you want to show a big caller picture or a small one.. I prefer a small one Or just make it possible to use the phone's dialer. When you misses a call the photo stays in the screen. I guess it would be better if you just go back to the mainscreen where you can see you missed a call. Now you don't see the other counters (sms, mail).
Can you tell me where the 'do not disturb' function is for?
Further is looks really great
RAHO thanks for trying CC. Muted can be seen by the nuber of )))) after the speaker. If there aren't any it's muted. I don't have anything for Vibrate yet.
As to making the picture smaller, One of the uses of the caller's picture is for answering the call. If you press the picture and swipe down 50% the call will be anwsered, or if you swipe horizontally it will send the caller to voice mail (Ignore). If I make the picture to small it will be easier to miss anwser which is one of the main reasons for curtaincall.
The purpose of do not distrub is to ignore all calls. You will hear one ring and then the call is sent to voice mail. That is set in the setup screen. \
By the way there is no need to close and re-open cc when you make changes.
Hope this helps, and I'm glad your liking it.
RAHO, I forgot to mention something. I left the picture up so I would see my last called. You can clear the picture by swiping it just like you were going to answer the call or for that fact ignore it as described in my last post.
Not working on HTC Universal WM5!
it works ok on an elf (6.5).
Simply brilliant.
Font is aliased on my qvga screen.
Icons are a little bit aliased on qvga.
I don't particularly like the chosen icons but hey... ;-)
Works quite well on my TP2 although it strangely flickers between the scratch to answer and slide to answer screens on a call. Also the last icon on the right is corrupt around the bottom edge.
Looking forward to updates.
Thanks!
Here's a couple of screen shots that shows a bit more of the functionality/
Answering a couple of posts...
First, Most developers suffer in artistic ability. I'm one of those. If you have some cool royalty free art I can use that is appealing I'm up for making some changes there. I started messing around a bit with gimp attempting to change things a few days ago, but my time to do that is pretty limited.
As to the WM 5 issue, CC was developed for WM 6.1 or higher. I'm open to looking at issue though. Exactly what problems are you having? It maybe that the object model is missing some pieces if that's the case I'll be forced to say that it's wm 6.1 or greater. Just let me know what's happening and I'll give it a shot.
I think it's very good for a first release! Just a few bugs so far like I said...
As to the graphics, maybe you could make it skinable for the graphics gurus?
It looks like I've put this in the wrong place. I'm sorry for doing that. I'm just now getting the lay of the land here at XDA.
Could some on move this thread over to Windows Applications and Games.
Thanks in advance.
I've had to uninstall this
It keeps fighting with the stock HTC slide to answer regardless of the settings.
Pity
Problem with caller id
I really like the approach of this app. My problem is that when I receive an incoming call, I get a text popup window with "Answer" and "Dismiss" options which cover the Curtaincall picture ID. Consequently, I cannot swipe the picture to answer or send to voicemail. Any thoughts on this one? I need the picture id to always be topmost on the screen. I am running Ultralite 6.5 ROM with SPB Mobile Shell.
thx in advance

Forgot to mention that I running this on an HTC Diamond Touch
@ IT_Dude: Thanks for your reply! It sure helps
I hope you can build in an vibrate-icon sometimes.
Can you give me abetter discripiton of what's happening. I kknow during the inital development phase I had trouble with during the first ring or two the dialer screen would fight to be on top. I got past that though. Are you running win 6.1 or the new 6.5?
MJ100, I'm not sure what text window you are getting. I know one of my alpha testers had some similar issues because he was trying to use slide to unlock in conjunction with CurtainCall. I had another alpha tester add activesync as a safe program which caused him a lot of grief. Try turning off (Deactivating) all your safe programs. If that's npt it can you send me a screen shot so I know a little more what I'm dealing with.
Before I ask my question, I'd like to say that I spent the past 4 hours searching the hell out of the forums to find an answer to no avail. So please don't scream at me if a similar problem was resolved before and I failed to find that thread.
On to the question: I used Zenyee's "Disable HTC messaging 1.2" cab to restore the original tmail.exe sms interface as the main text app instead of HTC's laggy messaging interface. I have Cookie's home tab so I edited the registry and linked the notification icon to /windows/tmail.exe -service "SMS" . Everything is fine and dandy, but when I get a new text and I open it and read it etc... The notification icon still shows 1 message unread. This is true for both Cookie's notification icon and the messaging tab (green bubble with 1 on it). This doesn't go away until I reply to the particular SMS, or restart sense.
I'm sure my problem could be fixed with a simple Reg Edit. Anyone nice enough to help me out?
Thanks in Advance.
PS: I have stock TMOUS rom 2.10 etc.. I don't want to try 2.13 in fear of screen sensitivity issues.
