how to get rid of the tiny Comm Manager and Battery icons at the bottom of my screen?
 

hi guys,
how do i remove those tiny icons at the bottom of my screen?
i need to free up some screen space so i dont get the scrollbar :)
thanks!

search for (regedit)

its a home plug-in simply uncheck it

ppc6700 hacks its a cab file that lets u edit things without messin with the registry id otn kno werhe to find it....but im srue with searching its easy and in the wm6 kitchen its aoption for oem to be installed

with WM6 it is a home plugin but for my WM5 it is not.
i searched through the reg. edits and found nothing.
Anyone??

sorry - but un check what? and how? I have a Mogul with WM6

Go to settings, in the personal click on today. At the bottom click the second tab, it is the list of today plugins. Look for HTC Homeplug. Uncheck it and then click on the ok button. That should remove them.

no sir, not i. i dont have that.
thanks anyways.

i have tried tnz, telus, alltel and sampson's, pretty much all wm5's and havent seen that icon on any of them. what rom do you have?

i just have the stock rom
1.34.631.14

Ok I watched your video. What apps have you installed, because I didn't see the icons in your video.

Jay

yeah that was when i was with Bell and running WM6. now i'm with Rogers on a different phone running WM5.

what phone are you running

thanks!

way back then, i remember the apache(sprint stock rom) having a battery icon on the tray, it was removed by a cab that mike posted. i think it was one of the apachehax? cabs. but i dont think there are on this site any more since they switch.

im running the tytn

This worked for me on my xv6800.

give this a try, im pretty sure someone know the registry to disable it if this doesnt work.

A screenshot of the phone would make it easier to identify but it sure sounds like the HTC home plug-in.

Remove Wireless Manager, Power Icons & Screen Rotation from System Tray

First let me thank everyone for sharing what you have learned on our 6700's. I hope this is one of many post's with something helpful in it.... anyway here it goes...

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr
DWord: Keep Set Value: 0 0x0(0)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\Power
DWord: ShowIcon Set Value: 0 0x0(0)
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\WirelessMgr
DWord: ShowIcon Set Value: 0 0x0(0)

Hide/Show Screen orientation icon
If you wish to hide the Screen orientation icon, shown in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 1 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\System\GDI\Rotation\HideOrientationUI = 0 (DWORD decimal)

If this doesn't work, you can try:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show it again:
HKLM\Services\screenrotate = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all.


Hide/Show battery indicator in Task bar
If you wish to hide the battery indicator in the task bar on some devices, you can set:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 0 (DWORD decimal)
And to show:
HKLM\Services\Power\ShowIcon = 1 (DWORD decimal)

Note that this icon and its feature may not be available on your device at all. For example, the HTC Wizard regularly ships with a battery indicator in the Tray instead, governed by "Windows\Startup\Init_Tray.exe".
