How completely remove call history and calendar from Home - Touch Pro CDMA

Completely remove call history and calendar text from the homepage.
So I worked on this for weeks. Baffling. anyway i did it. I removed the date, the calndar and the call history from the home page. It was so easy i feel silly for not getting it sooner.
Take file 590ad244_manila and drag it over notepad. Then edit it as I have done in the file I included in the zip.
Also to get your homescreen completely clear of dotted lines and calendar icon and small arrows. Install the cab.
1-4-09 I guess if you have probs with zips of manila i uploaded a no cal call hist cab

nice. Can it however be replaced (instead of removed) with something more usefull than the calendar, like a today-plugin? Now THAT would be an app / hack I'd double over for!

Nothing

What people were requesting in all of the threads was a clean clutter free home page. I am sure that it can be replaced. But I use an action screen with 9 options. I also have 16 tabs. Have no need for more options on the home page. I can even erase the clock to make it completely empty. Might do that since I have a clock tab coded from Dman.

everything clean
So I removed everything but the clock. This cab will do it. Got rid of the am/pm too-who needs it. i know if it is day or night
Edit: 1-6-09 This cab will make your home page like mine- but you will keep whatever clock you have. Also: even thoough dotted lines, icons and text is removed-the position on the home page can still be tapped to open call history and calendar. It is basically an appearance thing. I wanted to see my home page without clutter.

Nice work!! I assume that you can revert back by un-installing the program?

Manila is all stored in the rom. These files are only manila changes. When you erase the original files involved and restart the phone. Manila will be rebuilt from the rom.
Here is a list of the manila files involved
1bbfdc9b
4e670504
6aec5f68
7e640092
74ddfccb
590ad244
4820c63b
The cab installs these alterred files into your windows folder

can you explain which files to edit to remove the call history only? if i remove just that one will th ecalendar button move up to take its place? after adding the call history tab i think it is silly to have it taking up space on the home screen. plus i hate the icon it uses.

Will this mess with Sprintclock? Also can you make it so the date still appears?

It does not effect the sprint clock-I have sprint as well. Edit the 590xxxx manila so that the date still appears. It is easy. just open the file in Notepad and then save it and put it in windows-here is what the file I gave you says.

<trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT">

</trans-unit>
This is what you put in it's place in the 590 manila
</trans-unit>
<trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT">
<source>MMM d, yyyy</source>
</trans-unit>

i have been playing around with this and have it setup almost like i want it. i edited my 590ad244 file to match yours, but i left in alarm off. i installed the no lines cab and noticed that it takes away the lines and the icons. it also took away the alarm clock icon next to the words alarm off and i think i have narrowed it down to 1bbfdc9b but i cannot make heads or tails of that file. comparing an untouched version to your version, it looks like you pretty much just wiped it out. do you know how to isolate the alarm clock in that file so i can have just that show up?
also, even with the words, lines, and icons gone the links are still there. so if you touch the home screen it will still take you to missed calls or the calendar.

That is all true. The alarm icon is in the 1bbf manila. The appearance of the alarm text is in 590ad manila.
The actual screen area, and homescreen options for tapping sections of home are all in 1c684cd68. It would take some serious editing in a hex editing program to change the options in this file.

thanks for the confirmation. i like the idea of this, but i think i will leave it alone for now. i could deal with no alarm clock picture, but my the clock looking weird drives me nuts. that and the links still there, essentiall hidden. thank you for all of your contributions. you seem to be pressing further and further into the customizations and i learn more and more each time you post a new thread.

I removed the lines on the home screen and my alarm clock info is still there, which is great!! Only problem with this .cab is that I am now dropping 10-12 Program MB's overnight when I'm not even using the phone. I would only drop a couple if any before installing this cab. Any ideas on what would be causing this. This is the only thing that I have added to my phone in the 2 weeks so it has to be this cab

Manila only

The cab is only manila files. No registry edits. It is not possible. Must be something else.

First of all thanx for the hard work on this. I noticed on your screen call history, calendar, alarm, etc are gone. but for some reason im still showing the alarm.

You know the voicemail will still show in the top taskbar right?
the file you want is 590ad244_manila
open the file in notepad and you will see the options. edit the file in notepad and then put it back in windows
You will find this in the file you got from me in the cab

This is awesome! I wonder if a cab that clears both these and the clock would be possible, leaving an entirely clear homepage? I haven't yet come across the cab for removing the clock, but I'd test it with this one to see if a complete clear was stable.
Great work!

I've come across the same problem. I have an alarm set for 7:15am. As you can see from the screenshots, the text still appears. (the alarm icon is gone however)
When you click on the clock area, it still highlights. The alarm value may be part of the clock area? When no alarm is enabled, it will still display "alarm off" in the middle of the screen like that.

I'm not familiar with editing manila texts but I thought you might have an idea on this. The process will be complete if this gets solved. (Actually, now that I remember it, appointments also still show up as well if you have any in the system.) Your work is very appreciated!

[Q](Sprint) Flip Clock Re-Flip on View

I spend most of my time over on ppcgeeks but can't seem to find a person who knows what I need to do to get this to work.
I've heard on the Vodafone TP roms that the flip clock resets to 0:00 and flips again every time you go to the home tab. Well, I want to see my flip clock flip... Any way for me to make that happen for the Sprint flip clock as well?
Or does anyone know which manila files control the behavior of the clock? I'll go change them myself and learn something in the process, I just don't know where to begin.

Here are my Favs for TF3D. You will find what you are looking for if you search for it. From these links you can learn about Manila... I did anyway.
** I recommend starting here if you want to learn the file system first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=414861
The rest are good links to download others work and "inspect" it. What I did is download a clock for example and then decompile the cab to see what files it held. From there i knew that those files represented feature / function X. Pretty simple revers engineering.

I really want this as well. please let me know if I can be of any help and we can get this done. I haven't dealt with manilla files. But, have experience in programming..
Can't wait to accomplish this.
P.S. I noticed that the "Original HTC Black" theme posted here on xda-dev under Diamond - Themes, Application has this behavior that we are looking for. If we can only figure out what exact files do we need from there...
Here is the link for the HTC Black theme thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430174
With this theme installed using TF3D Config, I get the desired behavior that you are looking for ( clock flips from 0:00 to current time every time you switch to the home tab. )
If you can install this theme and then figure out what manilla files control this behavior, you/we will be golden. From there, we can just copy those files to an external storage, hard reset the phone and then copy those files over the original rom manilla files.
Here is 1c684cd8_manila from a version of manila that I know does the flip from 00:00 to current whenever returning to the home page. If creedin is correct about which manila file controls that behavior, then this should work. I haven't tried it though so I have no idea if it will actually do anything.
Nope. I just tried over-writing the 1c684cd8_manila file. Did not work. Home tab was completely empty....

yea, that file controls the clock, but the theme maps the home tab, so youd have to copy all the files from a theme with the home tab that flips, then replace all of theme, make sure it works then customize to your theme

Does anyone here know if this might use more memory??
i changed mine to the regular flip clock and its still smooth
isnt this why Sprint and AT&T chose to go with a nonflip clock?
i just downloaded the theme i'm going to check it out. for some reason i had to rename it from a .theme to .zip so i can see all of the files and look at the code. the regular flip white cab earlier didn't have the effect that we were looking for tho.
the black theme didn't re-flip for me, even after i restored to factory settings
Any progress on this?
Finally found a thread that was working on addressing this issue. Doesn't look like anyone has figured it out yet though :-(
I'm interested, so that I can have my glass clock flip back to 0:00 every time i hit the home button

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

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 ...

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???

HTH,

Little help, Please!!

I am either not using the right search terms, or searching in the wrong area...
please forgive me!
What I am looking for has got to have been done before, because I see it in themes and ROM's. I have been running "Da Mad Scientists" Onyx theme, but am looking for something more simple.
All I really want is:
1) Clear flip clock
2) Background on all tabs
3) Annoying Sprint logo gone from the top right of the screen
4) All the ugly yellow gone -please.... please.... please.
There is more, but I have been able to find CAB's to address everything else. I have found some CAB's that attempted to clear one of these 4 items off the list, but they did not work.
The main reason I want to simplify is because I did not realize how slow my phone was operating until I broke it and got a replacement. With the stock phone, I have little to no hesitation after finger taps. When I had it "tricked out", I had to wait... sometimes up to 2-3 seconds between taps. (not long, but it seems like forever when you are in a hurry)
I am running a 100% stock Sprint Touch Pro with a 16G storage card if that helps.
Thanks for your time!

Is it possible to move the date information from below the clock to above the clock in place of the annoying Sprint icon?
If not, how about removing the alarm on/off notification?
Thanks again!

I take no credit for any of the following cabs. I have attached a .rar file which has:
The clear flip clock (you have to install sprint2flip clock first) and also a clock without the background flaps.
Mun's BG for all Tabs with Analog clock (if you dont like the clock, install one of the other cabs to replace it)
And the manila file that overwrites the "sprint" logo (I believe)
You have to forgive me because I no longer use the stock rom on my TP, I use WM6.5 so I cannot provide screen shots of these items, also, I want to emphasize that these are not mine, they are from when I had the stock rom and wanted to do thesame. ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ACTUAL MAKERS OF THE CABS, NOT ME!!!
Thank you so much!!
I have saved the .zip, will test & trial soon and let you know!
Thanks to those that created the CAB's!
~J
With the Manilla:
I am sure that I am doing it wrong; I have never delt with file replacements before. This is a shortend version of the error I am receiving...
Cannot copy... ...Access denied
Be certain that there is enough storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and that the file is not currently in use.
With the mUn Back4AllPages_AnalogClock CAB:
The clock quits working, it displays "Orange" instead of "Sprint" in the upper right corner, and the slider icons on the bottom are off center.
It does, however display the background on all tabs...
All the other CAB's work flawlessly, and I am really appreciative of your help putting these together in a ZIP for me… and thanks to all the people for their hard work putting together the CAB’s.
Just a note: 1-Sprint2FlipClock CAB also changes the top bar… it displays the date and reduces the Sprint logo to just “Sprint” text.
A little help with the Manilla would be great!
Thanks again!

Manila file
you need to use Resco Explorer or another variation of such, like total commander, this is because the regular file explorer will not allow you to overwrite the files that are in the "ROM" portion of the phone.
You can find TOTAL COMMANDER here: http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm
PS. Total Commander is also attached to this comment. Hope this helps.
Thanks so much!!
With your help, I have this phone ready to rock-n-roll!!
I hope I do not have as many issues this time as I did last time... boy it was slow!!
Thanks again!

[APP] RockClock - FREE Alarm Clock

v1.5.0.3 RELEASED ! - [email protected]:15 - DISCONTINUED
RockClock is a simple FREE Alarm Clock for Windows Phone/Mobile 6.1 and 6.5 Professional devices with .NET Compact Framework 3.5 (and above).
Being my first ever .NET application, RockClock started life as a simple wakeup timer…which would simply turn on my Blackstone and run another program for me at 30 minute intervals. Then a friend found a freeware font whilst browsing the web and suggested I adapted my program to be a simple alarm clock and 'RockClock' was born.
Main Features:
- 4 Alarms, which will wake the device from a standby state
- Alarm Sound selection
- Adjustable Snooze timer
- Toggle UI elements
- Countdown Timer
- Stopwatch with laptimer
- Vibration option
- Clock colour selection
- Finger friendly UI
Please leave comments or bug reports as some feedback on my first ever program would be great.
POSTS SINCE UPDATE START HERE - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5875656#post5875656
Things left to do:
- Sort the alarms on the Clock screen into time order
- Flight-Mode On/Off Option (...having issues with this!)
- Quicker settings interface
- Integration with the System alarm clock so Manila and other applications recognise when the next alarm is due (…maybe)
Tested on WVGA (Blackstone) and VGA and QVGA device emulators.
If you like RockClock please feel free to donate… and inspire me to create more apps...or simply upgrade my handset!
In the event XDA Dev's becomes unavailable a mirror of this program is available on my site, which can be accessed by scanning my avatar or clicking HERE.
.
The ZIP File contains both a Windows Mobile Installer file or you can optionally install the CABS from the CABS folder in the ZIP.
Thank you very much. I will give it a try

Tried running the EXE directly from the installed folder and I got these errors.
Tried it on:
1. Dopod D810, wm6.0 stock WWE ROM
2. HTC Touch Pro2, wm6.1 stock WWE ROM
both with .Net Compact Framework 2 & 3.5 installed
Hmmm...thanks for trying it out...it seems that the program I have to package this up is a bit naff so here's the CAB for the .NET SQL component.
Hopefully that'll get it working until I sort out the packager.
Got it working on my TP2 after installing the second cab. But I don't see how this is much different than the manilla alarm clock.

But what if you don't use Manila? And what if a person wants to develop something that started as a fun project?
Will give this app a go on my TouchPro2 running WM6.1 without Manila!

For me it's nicer to look at at night when I'm charging my phone and don't have a clock in the room than looking at the manila screen which is REALLY bright when on charge.
Any chances to get this for QVGA?

Sorry didn't have the device emulator installed....I just installed it and tested it and it seems to be working okay with both CAB's installed.
I've also amended the first post to say it works.

Yes good point. Would like to see touch scrolling on the setting page and maybe a snooze button when the alarm goes off.
I agree that this will look better at night with the darker color scheme.
After installing the RockClock cab i get a message
Code:
proc ok
invalid handle
The shortcut to launch the app has no icon, and launching the clock gives
Code:
The file rockclock cannot be opened. Either it is not signed etc etc
I installed the clock on the storage card and first the second cab too, then i tried to install the second cab in device memory, but it is the same.
Edit: After installing both cabs into device memory the same error "invalid handle" comes up, the shortcut has still no icon, but the clock launches now.
While setting the clock up i saw there is no option to select the alarm sound to be used. Did i oversee it or is it not there? I set one alarm and pushed the power button to put the phone in sleep, without exiting the appl. At the time set the device did wake up and a bip bip sounded (i would prefere to be able to choose some other alarm or an mp3). To be able to access the settings again i need to exit the appl. and start it again, but this gives me the error:
Alarm schedule failed!
Please exit the application
and try again.
Acknowledging this error message starts the appl, and i can access the settings again.
Now if i set up an alarm and then exit the appl., it starts up at the set time, but then the above mentioned error pops up, and by the time i tap ok the application opens but no alarm sounds.
This are my findings up to now.

The sound settings have not yet been put in place as detailed in the first post. Not sure why the schedule is a problem, will look into that because it uses the standard CeRunappattime API call but I might know what the problem is.
I believe the rest of the issues are caused by the program that does the packaging for the cab installer..I'll have to find a new one.
I tested the program today on an P3300 and the shortcut icon did not appear but everything installed okay, the icon and program install fine on my blackstone though so I will try to find a new packaging app.
I'll put some changes in place and upload a new version when I can but as said earlier, I'm completly new to all this so it may take a while to perfect the code.

Ok...thanks for your replay, will test the new release as soon as available.
I think I've fixed it! I've also tweaked a few bits and added the ability to choose your alarm sound for now.
I'll make the alarms have independent sounds in future builds.
Testing it atm but will post it soon if it works as expected.

I'm interested in your application. But I got the same message on my HTC Touch HD. I don't find the app. in the suppression programs list : how can we uninstall it (until problems will be fixed)? Thank you.

Open remove programs and there is the appl headloaf rockclock listed.
New version released with a new installer too so hopefully things will work better.
Download on 1st post.

Thanks for the support!...Also it beats paying $12.50 for something like pTravelAlarm

How to create and/or edit slider icons

Hey guys,
I have the HD2, 172 WWE ROM.
I tried using HDWall app to create new slider icons. Nothing worked.
Does nayone have an app that can create slider?
If not, who wants to make one for me? I can give you all the icons, you create a cab?
I am pretty desperate as I have a couple I want to make that I love.
Thanks to any volunteers or helpers.
You can use a program called CFC_GUI to view and edit any manila graphic.
Thanks for responding.
I downloaded this but couldn't get it to work.
I selected the slider icon I wanted to change (to test) and selected replace with, the click on the icon I want. It runs through (stops sense) and just says 'fail'.
Also, I thought the slider icons were 64x64, and the larger icons 128 x 128.
This app shows them as 256 x 256.
Do you know what the correct size is for the sliders and the larger ones?
Well you will first want to make a folder some where. Connect your phone and put it into sync. From there open CFC_GUI >Device>Import from device. This will import your manila graphic files. Now you will want to go through these files and find all the files that pertain to the slider icons, quick hint there are a lot of them. Depending on the ROM there can be anything from 3 to 4 of them for each tab. Most will range in 64 while one will be 256. The 64's are for the actual tabs and also the customization setup pictures(for selecting the order of the tabs) in settings for the phone. While the 256 is for the big main graphic that is centered in the phones screen when it's slide over or selected. You will have to do more then just replace the files. When you select each file you want "save as" this while save it to the folder you open CFC_GUI for the first time. Once you have the actual images saved as a pngs you can then bring these files into a photo editing program. You will find that the size of the picture is not the actual size of the graphic.....sure it might be 64x64 but the actual graphic will be a bit smaller and is usually a bit off center and to the top left. So you take the picture you want (hint use pngs since most don't have backgrounds) to replace it with and paste it over the other picture as a layer. Adjust the picture until it's perfectly over the original layer under it. Once you get it right you can delete the original layer leaving your new graphic. Save the image ,possibly to a new folder but with the same original name. The next time you open CFC_GUI it will open the original files you don't have to plug the phone in yet, the program creates it's own folder and saves the files from when you imported them. Go through and replace the files you want , won't be hard if you keep the original file name when you saved your edited version. Once you replace them all you can close the program. Turn on the phone go to settings and turn off Sense. This option can be skipped because the program should turn off Sense when you go to export but some times it doesn't and messes up. Once synced open CFC_GUI recheck your work then go to
Device>export to device.
Unplug the phone turn Sense back on and they should be there.
Man I don't think I have ever had to write this much directions for this so be thankful I felt like being long winded tonight hope it helps.
Donation to you if you create slider icons set.
Wil,
I sincerely appreciate your reply. I have given it a go and read through your instructions many, many times.
Honestly, this is too hard for a novice like. I don't even know how to use photoshop properly.
I am willing to offer a donation to anyone who is willing to create a slider icon set for me.
I have all the icons, just need someone with the experience.
Anyone? Wil, can you?
Photoshop is not that hard. Just save the graphics like I said earlier. Bring the image into photoshop. Bring the image you want into photoshop. Go Select>all. Edit>copy. Go back to the original file. Edit>paste. It should paste it to a new layer all by itself. If the picture is a bit big or small you should be able to drag it to fit. You can also adjust the ocupancy down a bit to be able to see through it while you adjust. If your confused about the whole layer thing do a video search for Working with Photoshop Layers. There are plenty of them out there. It's a basic if you want to use photoshop the right way.
This should be in the Theme part but try to find the some threats of Dinik. He's a great designer and made even some easy walk throughs about how to make icons and how to replace them on your HD2
*edit*
Dinik Creations
When you look in the threats posted you find easy replacing tools
Stuck on final step.
Hi Wil,
Firstly, sorry for the very late reply. I have been working away collecting the icons I like, and trying to use Photoshop. I have finally figured it out.
I am stuck on the final step I think.
I have created all the icons correcty (to the top and right) based on the layering method you mentioned. Should be fine.
I have then used CFC to 'import' the png's. No problem.
I use CFC to browse the files and I can see the new icons I have imported.
What do I do now?
The files do show up in CFC, but not as slider icons in manila. Whats the final step?
Thank you in advance.
These are the manila fiels names from what I have researched. Please let me know if this is wrong.

i dont know it works for HD2 but i think it will
Thanks Veldmuus. I tried that previously, didn't work. It has completely different file names.
I tried 'export to device. Sense did stop (I saw it stop on my phone) did the export, then restarted sense.
For each fil that it was supposed to export, I just got the error 'fail'. No other info.
Any help?
