[Q] Add text to title area in Sense UI - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I try to add text in title area in sens UI(take a look at screenshot), and change it periodically. I have tried look for some solutions but without luck. Could someone point me where should I start? I have good understanding about c++, c# but I don't have any knowledge about sense, manila etc.

d3dek have you tried CHT Editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633590 and CHT Home Tab http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483 having those two applications install will allow you to add text and change it periodically. I hope this helps.

I've just install it, and I must say it's pretty awesome ;P. But it doesn't solve my problem. I need to change this from programmatically, from c# or c++ code ;P. I didn't write that before, sorry for that. I don't know if it is good board for this question, maybe I should post it in general Windows Mobile board.

Go to Menu, CHT Editor, Miscellaneous Settings, Custom Operator. Change the operator name to what ever text you would like it to display there. I hope this helps.

Yes I know I can do it like this. But I need to change that from code, or by some script.

Edit widescreen-menu

hey guys,
does someone of you know how to edit the widescreen-menu (the menu which appears if you pull out the keyboard => http://www.areadvd.de/images/2008/IFA%202008%20Mobilphones/downsampeled/HTC_S740.jpg).
It would be great if it is possible to add links to other programms like MS OneNote mobile.
thank you,
D4P5
Note sure if you can edit it. But I've done a quick look around the registry and found a few things under: HKLM\Software\HTC\ActionMenu
No real time to try out what it does though, and I disabled it anyway!

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:

WM 6.5.1 Start Menu Sorter - Updated to 1.1

Sure, when Microsoft added the ability to rearrange the order of items in your start menu, I was happy. I use a vertical list and I like it sorted. But I have a lot of installed apps so doing it by hand is a pain at best.
So I spent a day and wrote the WM 6.5.1 Start Menu Sorter. It does just what it says, sorts your start menu. Just install the CAB and run the program.
[UPDATE]
I've release a new version of the sorter. I've really only changed 2 things.
You can now choose to sort Directories first

Thanks Joe, this will be very useful.
thanks JoeWilcox!
is it possible to have all the folder shortcuts on top instead of being at the bottom?
Thx, any experiences on HTC stock ROM WM 6.5 21869 (Topaz)?
Thank u JoeWilcox, this looks mighty handy !
I tried this on my Sprint Touch Pro 2 with Energy ROM 6.5 Leo and didn't do much. It definitely changed the order of icons in my Start Menu but they're not in alphabetical order. I ran it a couple times but it didn't change after the first time.
Working good for me, sorts in alphabetical order.
+ 1 for folders on top as i have to move them manually after sorting.
normal 6.5 might not be supported. I don't think they added reordering until 6.5.1.
Re-ordering works for 6.5 in that I can select an icon and move it up to the top, but that's it.

That's the way you do with shipped WM 6.5 without any tools.
May it sort by type first then by name? In result we will get all folders on the top, then files. folders and files will be still sorted by name but separately.
best regards
is there any update? it seems to only sort some of it or part of my start menu on build 21877

+ 1 .... that would make it perfect
Files and folders are already sorted seperately, I just weight files first.

Isn't that a build without the improved start menu. It might not work there, it might. I've never installed a build from that branch so I don't know. What sorted and what didnt?
It would be great to get the folders listed first, like on the PC.
Since your 'AwesomeStart.cab' also changes the look of the Settings location, do you think you could provide another cab that orgainizes it like this one does? TIA
How does it change the look of the settings tab. It shouldn't be affecting the icons at all.
When I choose settings within sense 2.5, it looks like normal (prior to when I ran your awesome cab). However, when I click the soft menu for all settings, it goes to a list view of the settings like it does for the start menu, except they aren't in aphabetical order.
Crash on my TD2.... IO exception...
Ok, looks like 'Start menu' is hard coded.... I have 'Menu Démarrer' on my French ROM

[Q] Icon set creator / replacer / packager out there?

Hello everyone,
I can see many custom icon sets out here, but after some downloads, I realised I would like to create my own icon set, to satisfy my creative needs
The question is: Is there somewhere any kind of application (on PC or PPC) that enables you to replace stock icons on their respected locatons
I'll make myself more clear... Let's say I would like to change my Start menu icons (folders, apps,...) I do know that you can do this with some apps already available on the WM 6.5 platform, but only individually. What I'm searching for, is an app that manages to replace the icons with my own, importing (replacing) them on their locations (for example it will find the icon "Comm Manager" under Start Menu>Settings>Connections>Comm Manager.lnk) In this approach you could make one personalized icon set and use it repeatedly even after a new ROM arrives all in one sweep.
I understand that all aplications are packed in .cab files. So perhaps there is one desktop app, that manages to link my .png/.ico files to the appropriate files, converts that to a .cab and after copying to the storage, that cab after execution would replace/overwrite all the icons.
Hope it's understandable. Sorry, english is not my native language.
If this was asked/commented before, I apologise for bringing that up again...
See you all
there is nothing to do exactly what you want.
however, if you use jwmd and change them 1 by 1, you can save as a "theme" and then import it after you flash a new rom and get the same icons back.

Thanks Alot , can you refer me how to edit the sense UI , like instead the Call button I want to change it to a button in my language.
Thanks!
That will be in the APK for sense (dont know what it is, may also be launcher), and then in /res/values/styles.xml
Decompile the APK and edit the strings to your language.
Greets!
I'm not a fake.
I prefer people to reply to me and give feedback instead of thanking me!
But thanking me does show if you apreciate my works.
