O2's Battery Bar for Today Screen.

I've been searching on every possible site I can find to no avail. help. So I wonder if anyones done this?
I run my Qtek 2020i with O2's firmware in Corp. mode now. But I miss the Today screen's Battery bar.
Does anyone know how to pull this though into the corp. mode? or install it from ripping file from the O2-Active side?
Any help or guides etc would be ever so useful.

I wanted just that bit too.
I spent a bit of time messing around with a Blue Angel Extended Rom and managed to find the o2Active installer CAB, Hacked it added the right DLL for the XDA2i and got it working, Unfortunately it does have the original setup DLL in there so asks for corporate or personal but it only adds the batteryinfo.dll and the today screen.
Well enough of that here it is enjoy

Thanks riptos, your a star.

Thanks from me too.

Guys have you considered this little battery meter (single bar running across the top of the screen like Spb's version)... see attachment below...or one of its many variants (inc back up battery and/ or memory status) discussed under
Not as gucci graphics wise as the O2 one I grant you (see other attachment) but it takes up a lot less real estate for the same job.
The CAB download file is at:

Thanks riptos, I've been looking for this as well even though I have the T-Mobile MDA II. I don't know if it'll work or not, my original MDA II "Today" battery meter disappeared when I updated to ROM 1.72.00 GER.

Thanks here also Riptos,
I installed it in my XDA IIs and it is working just fine.

does this cabfile work for other countries apart yours?
in malta i use vodafone as service provider{ and also gomobile.......}
if i install this cab file will it then make the battery status appear on my today screen ?
or it has nothing to do with the service provider.............

You can install it no problem, it won't effect anything else, it will just put the battery bar on your today screen.

i've installed it and did the soft reset but i cannot see the bar!
i've got the spb pocket plus, would this cause some sort of clash?
UPDATE: i've uninstalled spb pocket plus and still no indicators on screen.

O2 Battery Bar
Try deselecting from today screen items and exit to today screen, then selecting from today screen items and exit. If it isnt in the list it wasn't installed properly.
Riptos

there is no batter bar in the today screen option... first thing i looked at!
got it to work... thanks alot buddy......
Regards

Many thanks for the OS Battery Plugin

Thanks riptos, your a star.

the cube

I cant find a rom that has a touch flow cube. I want the black diamond rom for my wizard to work with herald. I love that rom!!

There are many ROMs here. Usually the ones that aren't labeled "lite" "slim" or "clean" have the cube but the cube has to enabled.

cube
ive tried several roms and I got one that lete enable the cube, but I dont know how to invoke it. On my wizard i invoked it by setting it to a button. Im lost.

The WM6.1 ROM's don't have it.... :-/
well i don't know, i do kinda use it a llllot with the WM6 ROM's...

You have to set it up. You can set it to use a button or a gesture. I find it utterly useless, so I'm not the expert on it.

I didn't flash one yet... I was just assuming since the 3 here all said Touch Flo No Cube...hmm...maybe I won't miss the cube after all!!
I mostly use it for the photo dialer.. haha... i have like 18 "faves" now

Oh...ttran released Open Touch v3.0 Biggy has a cube..i think..
how interesting..........

Touch-It 4.41, which is better, has a Cube.

Worked for me and most everyone else whose tried it. Apparently the problem is his and not the software's.

thats strange, for my wing, when i go into the settings, it just has a half a box, and i cant click it.... i think it may have to do with that x button cab i had to install.

If you installed that X Button FIX then yeah it creates a useless Icon in the programs called TF Settings.
That IS THE SOLUTION! IF YOU DONT LIKE IT GET THE HELL RID OF IT!
This has been said several time now in the forums!

Well you know the cube makes your Device SOOOOOO Sloww!!
And you allready have a applaucher in the HTC Home Plug so why cube ?

well... it doesnt seem to slow down my phone.. i also have the sprint home plug-in. i like having the 2nd app launcher and photodialer.. and sometimes way more faster than going back to the today screen and having to focus on which tab, then which shortcut to push. with the cube..i could be using whatever program i'm on..then with only 1 or 2 finger gestures, i'd be at the dialer or app launcher.windows mobile apps are known to run differently on same model phone and everybody has different tastes.. just cause i liked it doesnt mean you have to also.. and really, it didn't slow down performance for me... but activesync startig up in the background, hat slows mine down!

Ive searched but with no luck

ive upgrade my Orange SPV m3100 today to a TyTn II, and first signs are impressive, however a few little things annoying me, and ive tried searching for help but cant seem to find it.
1, SMS/MMS
this is a massive pain in the ass to me, before on the SPV, it was split and made life easier. but now its merged and is driving me insane for some unknown reason (possibly OCD lol)
2. SMS main screen
On the left soft key it now says "Delete". again on the SPV it was new, made life easier and faster rather than trawling menu for new messages
3. The main today screen. The quality HTC black screen with big clock isnt an option on Orange so it would appear. if so can anyone tell me how? its looks great on the HTC Touch yet on here i have either the crappy Orange side bar or standard Windows bars
4. Touch FLO. wat programs does this work on, cus mine seems obsolete on everything
sorry to be a mega noob, but wud appreciate some input on making this PDA truely awesome

Cheers boys and girls

There is no way that you searched and didn't find the answers.

need to find better searching tricks, 1 advice would be to use google or just using a few key words in the forum's search tool

well i did search but "new sms" "delete" "mms" comes up with 32 pages. most of them reading thru, talk about new CABs, and for me thats a last resort, i no u think im being lazy, but after reading 100+ threads with no luck id thought id ask

I got the orange tytn ii before Christmas, and hated the Orangeness of the phone. Found the HTC plugin here:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html
Install on phone, soft reset and then go to "settings", "today" and move to the items tab. Tick the HTC home (not the HTChomeplug) option.
For the black "theme" which is just the black background with a small htc logo in the bottom right and the black bars top and bottom:
http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/s.php?querywords=htc+black+theme
Again install on phone, soft reset go back to "today" and on the first tab select HTC_new_default
You will still have an orange battery charge icon on the top bar though. I've been happy to live with that!

much appreciated mate. ill have a crack at that when I finish work later.
managed to sort touch flo out aswell
ill carry on searching thru the sms threads, but in the mean time, if any one can point me in the right direction id be very greatful
cheers again

You can find different versions of Arcsoft with the SMS/MMS split. However, it can cause problems when you install it overtop of the merged version. Your best bet is to read up on ROM Upgrading in the Kaiser Wiki, actually the whole Wiki, and then look for a cooked ROM that has the split version of Arcsoft loaded by default.

He is correct. Messing with the Messaging system can bring on Gremlins. Best leave it be or get a ROM that has that from scratch. I've come to be ok with the combined SMS/MMS. At first I didn't like it but I'm fine with it. What I really disliked what the threaded SMS on 6.1.

Think you're stuck with the combined mms/sms. You could always make another folder and manually copy your received mms's over to that. Can't say it bothers me too much. Cure your OCD by convincing yourself that an mms is just an sms with an attachment!
Regarding the previous post. Once you have downloaded the cabs copy them into a folder on your phone (eg. my downloads) and install them, then soft reset.
Once you have it up and running you can go back to "today" (settings) and choose from the items tab what other notifications you want to display below the "big clock"!!
Top tip if you're with Orange. I managed to blag the Orange Business data tariff of 250mb per month for £8 per month including VAT. This rolls over as well!! Phone up customer services and ask (nicely) if they'll bolt it on for you. If not ask for the data tariff department and sweet-talk them.

nice one guys, many thanks, ill let u no how it goes in a bit

hey, spot on so far mate, any other tips? or things that are good to install, got msn so happy with that too
by the way ive got a great blag for the business net user, just wondering wat questions they asked?

no luck blagging , just out of curiosity, is anyone else having problems with IE lagging loads whilst u scroll down even tho the page has loaded?

Change battery icon on Diamond II

Hi there, new user here (and i do mean new, i'm its me first PPC ever )
Got me a Diamond II last saturday and absolutely lovin it (old phone was nokia 6131). However i was wondering if there was a way to change the battery icon. A friend of mine sent one over but it didnt work, it kept the battery icon at the one with the plug (charging) even though when it wasnt.
What i'm lookin for in more detail is this.
The battery icon itself in COLOR (if possible)
Battery status in it (or above or whatever) in %
and offcourse the status updates as the battery charge depletes.
i'd rather not do registry tweaks. A simple cab file will do just fine. I know how to install those, as i've allready installed TT navigator 7 on it
Any help is greatly appreciated and if anyone knows any handy, usefull or musthave aps i'd love to see some links.

this is what you need, good luck!

Sweet, thats exactly what i wanted. Used the search before creating this topic but couldnt find anythin. Also looks like what my friend sent over, but probably didnt work cause he hadnt sent over the sdkcerts cab. Thx a lot.

I installed "Ahen 6a" battery icon, and it is beautifull and easy to install (2 CAB files). look for it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=502144

change buttons Touchflo

I got a HTC Diamond with Touchflo 3d
At the bottum there are 2 buttons Phone and programs
Is there a posability to change these buttons to something else like
Agenda and contacts?
At my old phone it was posible (HTC Touch)

Funny you ask that burnacid
To answer your question, yes, there is a way as I have done it before
its involves changing some reg settings
I am actually looking for that thread now
I know I saw it some where on this forum but don't know where
this forum is that huge that it's like trying to find a needle in a haystack
I'll let you know if I find it

Hi burnacid,
Good news!
I didn't find the original post I was looking for but I found another post that has a link to a VERY handy little app you can use.
I just tested it and it works fine
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409540
Just go to this post and it will be explained
PS. Remember to soft reset once you have made your changes.
Good luck
