Dose it actually work fine on the X1? i was reading through the site and it mentioned about battery drain. Has anyone tried this?

Does anyone know of a way to do this without the use of third party software? A registry hack would the ideal solution

registry change for date and time on taskbar
For registry change go to:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
Make a DWord key here named TBOpt
give the key a value:
0 for NO date AND Time
1 for ONLY Time
2 for ONLY Date
3 for BOTH Date AND Time
To change Date format go to:
HKLM\nls\override
under SSDte change date format to how you would like to see it
d=1
dd=01
ddd=mon
dddd=Monday
M=1
MM=01
MMM=Nov
MMMM=November
yy=08
yyyy=2008
you can basically use any combination I use for example ddd dd MMM and included an extra space there,
so that the last character doesn't get hidden by the ok button.
Hope this helps,
Mark.

For some reason I can't change the registry on my X1.
Got the app MobileRegistryEditor but when changing or adding a value it prompts me that the access is denied..
Any way to bypass this?

Thank you for this post, but this gets rid of the battery status and replaces it with the clock and time or if you leave the battery symbol there, then the date and time jus overlaps the with the battery bar. Is there something else we can do to show clock, date and battery?

I always use batti for that, I get a small 2px bar on top of the screen with the % of battery remaining.
works well in the xperia

I use spb pocket plus,it's really great

How to get date whit time on top bar

i did had the date and the time on the top bar befor the hard reset, but do not remember how i did it.
I achieved it via a reghack... See http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=188032#188032 for my working values.
Also, my reply is in the context of koksie's response:
Koksie said:
hklm\software\microsoft\shell
- add dword called "TBOpt"...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The numeric values Koksie provides to change the implementation of the clock are wrong for the Alpine, so I went and worked out what they are for the 2i (which is in the post I directly link to above). You can achieve this fix with PHM Regedit (also in that thread) or any other registry editor.
Another solution would be using a third party program...
Easytweaks comes into mind...
try out this registry modification, see whether it helps
To include both time and date in taskbar
You'll get time and short date on your right top of the screen, rather just displaying time. Meaning, you can remove your date item on your today screen.
Code:
Phase 1:
1) Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shell\
2) Create a binary value named "TBOpt" and set its value to "13 00 00 00".
3) Soft-reset
Note: If u ever get bored of the date display, rid it by deleting the TBOpt key.
Phase 2: IF U NEED THE CHANGE THE DATE FORMAT:
i) Just go to Settings>Regional Settings>Date>Short Date
ii) Choose "dd-MMMM-yy" or whichever format u prefer.
iii) Click "ok".
cheersss
If you are not that comfortable with editing your registry, you could use a 3rd party software called Tweak2K2, I used that to get the time and date on the topbar.

CHANGE START BAR DATE FORMAT

How does one change the format for the date.
I did the Reg tweek so I have the time and date in the start bar.
But I would like to get rid of the year on the date.
Ideas ?
Thanks
there is a program Tweak2k2.com
try a demo for 3 times,
It work for me..
I tried it but did not work for me.
I have my start bar showing 7/25/0 and the time 3:27 below it.
I want to get rid of the /0
Date Format
Use your reg editor and goto HKLM\nls\overrides\ and make a string with the name SSDte with a value of M/d and that should do it.
ipaqkiller -
BINGO
THat worked GREAT
THANKS
that great,
Now how can I remove the week day "Saturday" and have date and time in one line?
Or is there a way to have the TIME at all time on the top bar next to the SIGNAL?
Time Format
From the way I understand it, it's built in the Windows Mobile rom how it's displayed as far as on the bar, ie: date on top of time if you have that enabled. But, if you want the date and time both on the taskbar up top, you need an AKU 2.2 rom minimum with two registry entries. One is the SSDte string with a value of M/d/yy with three spaces for some comfort room alongside to account for the close button, and STFmt string with a value of h:mm t for the time. You can go as far as I did and add the am pm reg entries as well so you know exactly that your clock is at least in the ball park time wise or use military time. To do that: In HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides create a string S1159 with a value of Am and another string S2359 with a value of Pm and change the string STFmt to a value of h:mm tM
Soft reset
* All characters are case sensitive and must be entered as stated above.
For a more complete listing of Windows Mobile date and time format values, go to http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...vbenlr98/html/vafmtuserdefineddateformats.asp (Link above taken from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=WM5_Tweaks_Other

Correct, but you can only choose them, not change them. You have to use a registry editor if you want to change the format of the date and time.

Hey guys,
Off topic.... My desktop icons have a black bakground (see jpeg enclosed) and no matter what i do i can not repair them. They work correctly but look crap
Steps tried so far: (mostly gotton from google.....)
1 used tweakui to attempt repair.
2 adjusted colour depth from 32 to 16 and back again.
3 deleted icon cache, restarted to force rebuild of file.
4 several reg fixs none of which worked.
5 tried several wallpapers/themes and tried tweakin many settings.
None of the above worked and im tired now, so im hoping you guys have some suggestions
Many thanks.
Easy....
Open System Properties in Control Panel, choose the Advanced tab, and click Settings in the Performance section. Turn on the Use drop shadows for icon labels on the desktop option, and click Ok.

I know this can be done, but i would like to see the icons & text sitting on top of my wallpaper, not with a background colour, but thanks for the reply
Any other suggestions guys?
Found in the web - at least worth a try:
If you have tried everything already mentioned and still cannot get your icons to have transparent you may want to try this. Change following reg keys to a value of 0 User Key: [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] System Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\ Explorer] Value Name: ForceActiveDesktopOn Data Type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) Value Data: (0 = default, 1 = enabled) This is what did it for me. Something, I don’t know what was changing this value to 1 on my system. Once I set this to 0 I had my drop shadows back.

In addition, give TuneUp 2008 a try, it can fix a lot of REGISTRY and SYSTEM problems. The Trial Version is fully functional for 15 days.

Solution
Ok guys,
I managed to find the solution. Tune up 2009 app didnt solve it although it did make my destop looking like vista (black bars and cool icons)
The problem was in "display properties/desktop/customise desktop/web". I did have at one time active web content on my desktop which i had turned off many moons ago. Along with the two web page addresses (which were inactive) i had a file "file:///C:\DOCUME~1\TIM&SA~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\msohtml1\01\clip_image002.jpg" which was active? what this is and where it came from i dont know, but de selecting it did the trick and my desktop is now back to normal.
Many thanks for all your ideas and help chaps, long live XDA

Title Bar

I am trying to get the title bar as I want it - I'd really like something like Wisbar used to give me, but that program doesnt seem so compatible with the TouchFlo 3D.
I have applied the registry tweak: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell
and added a DWord key here named TBOpt
with the value: 3 for BOTH Date AND Time
However, the clock only appears on program screens away from the home screen, otherwise a battery gauge appears (which I dont need since I have Batti)
Any ideas how I always have the date and time?
I would also like this.... if anyone has any ideas?

Maybe, if facebook creates a regestry entry when it has a notifaction, then yes; you would have a mortscript that runs say every 30 seconds watching for the regestry to pop up. Once it does, the script can change an icon image, play a sound, something... to let you know you have a notifaction. I'm gonna look and see if I can create one, if I do I'll post it and let you know.

Screen Swap
I have not fully tired this but this script will swap icon.xml files for a complet icon swap. Download and place the script in the \program files\iPhoneToday folder. Set an icon (page swap icon) to this script.
When you run the script for the 1st time, it will create a new icons.xml file; (check the \program files\iPhoneToday folder and look for IPT1.xml) That is page one, you will be looking at page 2.
Edit this page the way you want. leave the swap icon still pointing to the script. When you press it, it will backup your page 2 to IPT2.xml and restore IPT1.xml. This only works for 2 different icon sets for now.
[edit] The script works, but there is a problem, iPT does not load the changes to the icons.xml file that fast. So if you use this, wait about a minute after any changes before you switch back and forth
I also fixed one of the lines of code
Code:
#iPT screen swap, original script by mickael91210 rewritten by j101399j and optimized by bbonzz
#Updated for v1.4+
#get current state, 1=Normal, 2=Swapped; "" means 1st run
state = Regread("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday\PhoneSwap","Swap")
#If reg does not exist (or somehow < 1), then this is the 1st run and state needs to be set
if (state < 1)
state = 1
EndIf
#RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","reloadIcons",1)
#Time to switch, if state = 1; then you are going from the normal screen to the new screen.
#And if state is = 2, then you are going from the new screen back home.
If (state = 1)
#"state" = "1"; so switch to new screen
Copy("\program files\IphoneToday\icons.xml", "\program files\IphoneToday\IPT1.xml", TRUE )
#copy over phone icon.xml file
Copy("\program files\IphoneToday\IPT2.xml", "\program files\IphoneToday\icons.xml", TRUE )
Vibrate (30)
RegWriteDword ("HKLM","Software\iPhoneToday","reloadIcons",1)
state = 2

Missed call script for devices that don't show in iPhoneToday
This script fixed the devices that that do not show a missed call on iPhoneToday
----------------------------------------------
1. Download and install Mortscript
2. Download the zip file for your language (look for your Program Files or Programme folder)
3. Unzip the files and place them in the \Program Files\iPhoneToday or \Programme\iPhoneToday folder
4. Create a phone icon with the following values:
English:
Name: Phone
Type: Missed Calls
Executable: \Windows\cprog.exe
ExecutAlt: \Program Files\iPhoneToday\callhistory.mscr​Other
Name: Phone
Type: Missed Calls
Executable: \Windows\cprog.exe
ExecutAlt: \Programme\iPhoneToday\callhistory.mscr​5. Place a shortcut to the missedcall.mscr in your \Windows\start up folder and then run the missedcall.mscr to start the script
----------------------------------------------
The missedcall.mscr script watches for when the registry value "HKCU","ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount" is created. Then the script then creates the registry value "HKCU","System\State\Phone","Missed Call Count" (or adds 1 to it if there are other missed calls). Making iPhoneToday show there is a missed call. It then deletes the "HKCU","ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount" value. It then reruns in a few seconds depending on the time of day.
The callhistory.mscr script clears the "HKCU","System\State\Phone","Missed Call Count" registry value and also deletes the "HKCU","ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount" registry key. Then it launces LaunchMSItem.exe to open call history.
As long as your phone icon is set, it will open th phone normally and will clear the missed calls and open call history if there are missed calls.
The Testing.mscr is used to create a "HKCU","ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount" value for testing and is not needed.
Hi j101399j
This thread is a very good idea
May I add a suggestion:
I think you should edit the first post or get the second (you'll need help from a mod) to put a list of links for the Mortscripts as they come. I mean that when this thread will grow, it will not look like the mortscript example accumulation thread, where it's almost impossible to find anything unless you read all of it...
Good luck!
First post updated to all of the scripts that I know of that work for v1.4+
Thanks
You're welcome
Pls correct link for swap
I hope we can collect some new things her
probably dumb question
hello,
i want to ask you - profesional mortscripters, if exists some possibility to implement such thing like NameDay into IPT?
my crazy imagination resulting into one icon with corresponding text (name) over picture and text should be changed every day for example at 8:00
so this is (maybe naive) basic vision....i have some other ideas about it, but firstly please can you tell me if is such thing possible with IPT/mscr?
sorry for my english
thanks

I'm not sure what you are asking for, but I think the answer is yes. Try to explain a little more or some examples.
So for example the calender icon (which shows the date or month) have it every day change the icon itself to show the day; or just change the text under the icon to what date of the week it is?
continue
oki, hope that i will provide more exact information
so for example in czech calendar (http://www.myczechrepublic.com/czech_culture/czech_name_days/)
6.3. Miroslav
7.3 Thomas
8.3 Gabriela
those named persons celebrates in those days....i think that are three ways:
1-icon in IPT with static name Svatky(=NameDays) with daily changing text over static picture (yesterday Mirek, today Thomas, tomorrow Gabriela) or
2-static picture, daily changing text under icon or
3-static text under daily changing picture (yes required 365 icons)
dont know which way is simplier to create, or even if is it possible to make such working script? i hope so ...
thx again for fast reply

The easiest is the static picture and changing text under picture. However it is not too much more work to change the picture and text together. You just need 356 icons. It will take some time, but I will see if I can get it working. By the way, giving each day a name, that is really nice.
Quick question
What is the exact spelling of where your icons.xml file is located (for example my file is in \program files\iPhoneToday\icons.xml)???

im using "similar" location... \Program Files\iPhoneToday\icons.xml with caps P and F
yeah i agree that way with 365 icons is nicer, but thinking that more "universal" will be some nameday.ini with informations formatted in style
0306 Miroslav
0307 Thomas
script would compare actual date and nameday.ini and replace value for icon name="Thomas" in icons.xml, am i right?
anyway thats no problem for me to sit to workstation and make those 365 icons...
seems that both solutions have positive and negative features...

thx, i will stay tuned !
I have found a Problem . I use 2 Magicians with wm2003se. For the missed calls bubbles i use the scripts from j101399j . It works great ! But there is a big Problem. I ve testet it with my two magicians more times. If the script is running , the battery is empty in 1 Day. One battery is new , the other a half year old ! If I stop the script or deinstall mortscript , the batterys stands over 1 week ! I switch off the magian with the switch on top right , every time.
Could it be , that the script make the device never sleeps ?
I thought that the switch put the device in standby. Sleeps mortscript to or make it his update every 15 seconds on day and 120 seconds at night ?
I changed the "missedcalls.script to update only , when the phone is switched on. Here the temporally first change .
Code:
##### remove script from notification queue to make sure that you have only 1 script running,
RemoveNotifications("\Programme\iPhoneToday\MissedCalls.mscr" )
#### to be up- to- date when switching the phone on,
RunOnPowerOn ("\Programme\iPhoneToday\MissedCalls.mscr" )
#####Checks for new missed calls; if LedREfCount exists (state = TRUE) else (state = FALSE)
state = RegValueExists("HKCU","ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount")
#####Get the number of miss calls already; 0 if reg key does not exist
MissedCalls = RegValueExists("HKCU","System\State\Phone","Missed Call Count")
If (MissedCalls = FALSE)
#####if missedcalls reg not exist set counter to 0
PhoneRef = 0
Else
#####Else get reg value and store in counter
PhoneRef = Regread("HKCU","System\State\Phone","Missed Call Count")
EndIf
#####If (state = TRUE) add 1 to counter, modify reg for missed calls and delete LedREfCount registery
#####If (state = FALSE) end program !! Edited Part !!
If (state = TRUE)
ModPhone = (PhoneRef + 1)
RegWriteDword ("HKCU","System\State\Phone","Missed Call Count", ModPhone)
#Delete state reg
RegDelete( "HKCU", "ControlPanel\Notifications\Default","LedREfCount")
Else
Exit
EndIf
#find out if day or night
# now = TimeStamp()
# GetTime ( hour, min, sec)
# update every 15 seconds between 6am and 9pm
# If (hour > 6 and hour < 21)
#nexttime = now + 15
# Else
# every 120 seconds @ night
# nexttime = now + 120
# EndIf
#re-start the script automatically, to use remove the # on next line
#RunAt( nexttime, "\Programme\iPhoneToday\MissedCalls.mscr" )
Now the battery drain is normal. But the missed calls are only displayed after switching on the device. If you charging it and its longer on and a call comes in ,no bubble is diplayed until you switch off and on again ! My phone automatic switch off after 5 minutes without work, also its no problem for me.
I come switch on and see the missed calls...
I think the script holds on the phone and its working the whole time . Thats why the battery is fast empty.
Hello, j101399j
There is some hope that the script for the clock placed on the link below works with the latest version of IPT?
Thanks.

New two icon digtal clock
Install
1. Download attached zip file
2. Unzip and place "clock" folder into your iPhoneToday folder on your phone's root (\iPhoneToday\clock)
3. Edit the clock.mscr file; 1st part is where the hour icon is located. It will automatically place the minute icon next to it.
4. Set Milt to 1 if you want a 24 hr clock; or anything else for a 12hr clock
5. If you do not want this to overide existing icons; create 2 icons in the location where the hour and minute icons will be (for example, the default is the 1st page and 1st 2 icons). Press and add an icon, leave set the exec=\iPhoneToday\clock\clock.mscr and the icon to the blank minute icon in the clock folder; do it again (same options or you can use the blank hour icon; it does not matter since they will be replaced).
6. Tap one of the icons to start the script
Updates from 0.0.4
Uses new iPT reload icons feature
Added 13-24 hour icons
Fixes 1-9 hour icons to they don't say 01 they just say 1...
and minor changes to script
