[release-updated 9/1] nueNoBar 1.3 - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hello,
I have coded a replacement for dcinobar, which hides the bottom bar on the today screen, letting you use it for your today screen plugins. Unlike dcinobar, nueNoBar works with the latest wm builds (WM6.1 build 20000+). If dcinobar works on your ROM, use that instead, this is really for those new builds dcinobar's method doesn't work on.
edit: updated to 1.3, hopefully fixes more problems some people were having.
Download it from http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nueNoBar.aspx ...

Thanks heaps. Good to see a much-requested app updated to the latest WM version.
On a side note, how come your rad nueLED isn't on your website ?

it doesn't work on my niki
it give error during installation

Does not work on my Diamond with WM6.1.
I installed the CAB, rebooted and nothing happens, the softkeys are still visible.
Do I have to start a program to activate the hiding of the softkeybar ?

Hello, looks nice, but after installing it on my WM6 dvice there doen't seem to be any change after a soft reset. Is there something extra i need to do to use this?

looks like if the cab file is incomplete... not any file installed on my ppc... Wei Enterprise directory was not even created...

I got it working by manually stopping and restarting the nuenobar service.
However it also hides my phonealarm, see the screenshots (before/after) for an example.

cool it works! thanks for the tip!
and thanks no2chem for the program (because vjtoggletoday didn't work any more since i upgraded to wm6.1....)

doesn't vjtoggletodayalphaII does exactly the same thing? (also hides the systray)... that's what i'm using.

Probably yes ( if it works OK as I do hope).
vjtoggletodayalphaII and dcinobar weren't working with the latest ROM builds as stated by no2chem on the 1st post.

dcinobar works fine on WM6.1 for me.

good to see what i am missing with the new builds allthough it is not fully working yet for me. for me it is working, but only after restarting the service. after every softreset i have to restart it over again.

me too, i havent had any problems with dcinobar on 3.2.5 and 3.2.6, or any of JD's roms from ppcgeeks (his builds are a bit different though, i think). just started using it really, but havent had any problems.
seems weird to me that it works on some of ours but not others.

okay, I will check why you need to manually start and restart the service as well as phone alarm. most likely, i moved the bar down too low, and phonealarm is checking the position of the bar.
thanks

directory is not used, it just installs a single 10kb dll "nueNoBar" to your \windows dir.

Good news.
I also need to resart the service, but it's working for Tomal v8.2.
Maybe the service needs to be started with some delay in order to work.
cheers.

Screen Rotation for Dummies (SRS)

Hi,
This is seems to be the last version of our magic tool - Screen Rotation Service (or SRS). It includes Second Edition's Today Theme (menu & today scrollers support in landscape) and feature to automatically resize your today screen for Landscape Theme!
(Download it here: setup.armv4.exe)
During installation you will need to answer "Yes" to this message:
Code:
The file"\Windows\ace_ddi.dll" is hidden, read-only, or a system file. Would you like to replace the existing file?
After installation you need to go to: [Start menu] - [Settings] - [Today] and select "WMSE" theme from the list
And one more, minimize (X) your programs before switching
Thanx to abc and everyone here!
Re: SRS HE = Halloween Edition
Feel free to post your feedback/questions on this version of SRS to this thread
More recommendations that i remember about SRS:
1) Do not soft-reset your device when in landscape-mode
2) Minimize (X) your programs when switching between different modes
To install SRS-HE:
1] Download SRS-HE to your PC
2] Run it to get "setup.armv4.cab"
3] Copy this file to your PDA
4] Tap on it to install SRS-HE
5] Soft-reset your device
6] Go to [Start Menu] -> [Settings] -> [Today]
7] Select "Wmse" Theme from the list
8] Use [Start Menu]->[Settings]->[SRS] to switch the modes

No it is installable on any Himalaya device with any combinations of ROM, radio and ExtROMs
If it doesn't run at your specific system, you can always uninstall it without any damage. It really worth to try!
Yeah, I have ROM 1.60 (latest O2 UK rom) and it didn't work very well at all. Half the OS had problems, including the camera (even v2.5), the Today screen and many of the Control Panel applets.
I've seen reports on this site of people having fewer problems with ROM 1.66, but I don't think anybody has claimed that they've got it working with ROM 1.60 without problems.
Still, I'm hoping O2 UK are going to release 1.72 tomorrow!

Where did you get such ROM version? And why you are not moving to 1.72? It doesn't really matter who the supplier of the ExtRom is (imate, qtec, tmob...) it is a matter of OS rom content. So, just update your device and receive a set of 1.72 advantages (faster BT binding, greater performance, no good CT and so on)

I got the update from my service provider: O2 in the UK. It's the latest version available, at the moment. I don't need all the hassle of messing about with ROMs from other countries and providers. I'll wait until the next ROM is released by O2 for me. (Tomorrow.)

Well I guess the skins are not all we need to have them work in landscape mode. What we need are dll files who "teach" to app what skin to chose... :roll:

This work is need to someone like ABC.. 8)
I have a sugestion for all of ya, I have SRS instaled on my mda II, and I like it, but don't ever set an alarm in landscape mode, my MDA was playing the stupid melody for quite a long before it stoped.
The reason is that there were no snoose an dismiss button.
Even a soft-reset won't help.
Maybe the action button, but mine stoped by itself.

HTC Plus

Find this from other forum. Work fine on my HTC Trinity.
More screenshot
oh its taing too much of real estate My screen area!
Does it support VGA?
Backlight working ?
Does the backlight button work with this release ? In the other version your device will freeze at bootup....anyone tested already ?
btw: seems to be the same version like in the other post....
Cheers
Edit:
Could not wait Just installed, no problems on my device (Artemis) and Backlight-button. Looks cool.
What i don't like: in the GUI-Config you can only add apps from the Programs-directory (for example: when you want to add solitaire (which is stored in "Games"), you need to move the shortcut into the Programs-Folder....or you need to add the registry-key in HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts manually....or am i wrong ?
But in the end.... i think i stay with HTC Home....
Works on Artemis?!

It's interenting that you had no problems. I also installed on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and yes, it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Anybody tried this on a Touch?
The "other" Version (as petervbeck says) in the Hermes Forum doesn't work on the Touch.
I doesn't work on my Touch!
Working on Wizard
HTC Plus is Working on Wizard!
just 2 bugs:
when you select battery status in Customization and you tab on the symbol you go to wifi settings and backlight is not working

Hey,
I've installed it on my HTC Advantage X7510 with WM6.! Professional, and I can confirm that it works.
When I'm in the today screen and I turn the PDA it does turn in Landscape and Portrait mode with no problem great at last it works.
Thanks for the link if anybody what's me to try anything please let me known.
Thanks
Gigino
I am happy for you gigino, but I am in the same boat as palmchen (have a X7500 with t-mobile WM6 ROM).
Perhaps the interface to the sensor is slightly different between WM6 and 6.1
I am sure it can't be that difficult to access it from WM6. Hopefully the developer will be able to implement it or give some clue which will assist some brainbox from this community in hacking this version to get working with WM6. In my eyes this is one of those killer apps.
I tried this on wm6.1, and had the same error message.
IMO the answer is simple: it works using HTC VUEFLO .dll. X7510 has those dll, x7500 doesn't!
In AP4 or AP5 it will work

For some it is a must have. For others, it is an annoyance and irritation.
only because we can't get it working!
Sorry guys, we doesn´t have these devices for testing.
We just was surprised about the info, our tool is working on HTC Advantage X7510.
Also we not know the reason why it is not working on HTC Advantage X7500.
Possible reasons:
- missing/different software driver
- different ROM/ACU version
- missing needed hardware
As i said, we cannot test because of missing hardware.

Not because of that. It was working all right.
I hated this auto rotate thing because 9 out of times the rotate happens against my wish, and it slows my device.

No, I don't, there are SOME dll, you can find it in the AP4 / AP5 ROM. I agree, the rotation is too slow and the screen rotation is useless and time consuming 90% of time. My brain is much faster in image rotation and my finger is slower than brain but acts only when needed

[APP] PLAzmA Manila Rhodium VGA Comm Manager Skin (BETA 1)

Having recently installed XBmod Manila Rhodium VGA Port (here) i was annoyed that my comm manager skin was still the stock O2 blue skin
I search for ages to try and find someone how had made a black one, the closest i came was this which isnt black and this which had render issues and had the white left buttons, so it might not be perfect but i made one.
If anyone has any suggestions or the original Manila Rhodium VGA background on its own please send it and your suggestions over and i will see what i can do.
Also ive design this so it will just replace your existing skin and not change the existing options on your comm manager page like add the 3g button if you dont already have it.
PS ignore the background looking so crap in the screen shot, this is largely because of soti pocket controllers preview mode being a lower colour base.

UPDATE: (3G)
I have also created, a version which will enable a 3G option in comm manager, personally i dont use 3G so i didnt bother writing it in but im sure some people will want to have it
MIRROR 3G: http://rapidshare.com/files/213485222/PLAzmA_Rhodium_VGA_Comm_Manager_3G.cab.html
Issue: after installing this onto my device the background of the Comm Manager is still white, along with white font color and dark icons as in your screenshot.

Have you done a soft reset ??
Also what phone and rom are you running it on?
As far as i can see from looking at other skin cabs the background files are always called P_BG.png and L_BG.png and are not set by a reg key and called by comm manger program directly.
Please post problems / answers to the comm manager thread instead of xbmod's thread as its a bit off topic thanks.

"CommManagerUIStyle" was set to 4 instead of 2 as in your provided fix.reg. I'm waiting for my device to startup as I type.
Btw, can you recommend a good register editor for VGA devices? Used PHM, but wasn't able to import your reg file.
EDIT: yepp, by changing that value from 4 to 2 I'm able to view the black background. Thank you =)!

Sure if you can find me any other comm manager cab thats wvga i will strip it apart and rebuild it to support the Rhodium skin, i looked and havnt found one yet.
Alternativly if you can extract me the following files from your windows folder:
Function_Bluetooth.png
L_BG.png
P_BG.png
and give me a registry export of :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
and all sub keys zip/rar them and send them over, i can then rebuild back into a cab, i need the registry key as ive not got a blackstone and need to double check the reg values

Cab didnt work
Hi ,
Tried to install the cab but fails immediatly with when i just pressed the cab file.
My phone : Raphael unbranded Netherlands
ROM: ROMeOS 1.90.1
Radio 1.12.25.19
Only thing that I could imagine is my other commanager from nadavi that adds the 3 g is corrupted with this version.

I would make sure your comm manager isnt running in memory when you install, ive actually made the pack so it has a 3g and ir option if you have already modded to get 3g or ir to appear on the comm manager.
However if you want to uninstall nadavi version, ive made a 3g version especially for you see the main thread for download.
I'm sorry, but I can't seem to actually use my Comm-Manager since I installed yours. The style is awesome for sure, but it's not very usable at the moment:
Clicking on an item highlights the current item, but does nothing; no toggling of Bluetooth or WiFi...
Clicking on the ON/OFF button for a function doesn't function either... same as above
In Rhodium Manila when I press the title for WiFi or Bluetooth the device vibrates and I'm taken to scanning mode (scan for AP's or BT devices)... this functionality is also gone.
EDIT: and I can't seem to uninstall it either. Typical
Uninstall
Not sure whats going on there, try and re-install over the top, it will tell you old version will need to be removed, say yes and then cancel the install when it comes to reinstall.
what rom are you running ?
Actually ive just noticed that since ive install XBmod latest manila pack im also unable to uninstall anything i put on, this it maybe a big in his pack, only noticed after i install wififofum today and its not on the list either.

udK's ROM (see sign)... Yeah, must be XBmod's Manila... can't seem to uninstall any other app I've installed either. Damn, but oh well =)
So you're using XBmod's Manila and are able to use all the functionality within the CommManger? I suppose the regkeys are within the CAB file? Otherwise, is the values in fix.reg those you're using?

Yeah its working fine on my rom and the cab now includes whats in fix.reg which basically sets the comm manager mode to the right them to use a background wallpaper.
If you try and re-install over the top, it will say you have to remove before it can reinstall, allow i to remove, then cancel the new installation. soft reset and your old comm manager skin is back.
if you can then give me an export of :
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\CommManager
i can look into it and see what the problem is, potentially i can rebuild you your own cab if theres something particular with your rom.

That's exactly what happens to me with the ROM in sign. Will update ROM soon, so I can report back.
worked great for me. thanx again plazma, cant wait to see what you come up with next! still lovin the calculator!!
New Developments
I think your getting the green bars more than once is because your rom must use more than one colour for transparency on my dev phone only #000000 (true black) is used for transpency, so the comm manager is slightly off black to work around this, work fine on mine and for others aparently. So i can only assume the people having problems with their roms is due to the above.. not sure how to fix it but will look into it.
