cDate: Today date to replace the carrier logo
 

I created a script, which displays todays date on the field where the carrier logo is shown (see image)...

As you know, having a 240x240 screen makes every space prime real estate. There are a few apps that could achieve what my script does...Hidelogo (hides the carrier logo field), TrueToolbar (display lower tray), BTIcon (displays bluetooth icon in lower tray of TrueToolbar), and TodayDate (displays todays date on Today screen).

I liked the Bluetooth icon on the carrier logo field, because it changes color if a device is connected. Using the BTicon app, the only way I could tell if my headset was still connected would be by calling my voicemail to see if I can hear through the headset.

Therefore, after some research, I developed a simple script to achieve the above...called cDate.mscr

i finally got to try this today, just what i needed, now i dont have to have weather panel and hile logo to make room and display the date. any ways thanks a lot man.. keep up the good work!

I agree. Nicely done! I was tempted to try other scripts made in MortScript but kept putting it off. This one made me try it and all I have to say is Thanks!!

Sure, not a problem. Glad to help.

Yes, nice job Eddie! 8)

Carrier logo and dial area
 

How can I remove the Carrier logo and also the dial/number area below it so I can have more screen area?

Re: Carrier logo and dial area
 

use hidelogo... and then hidelookup field

Hide Lookup field is done if you are a the Today screen. Go to Menu > Preferences > Hide Lookup Field. It will still show up when you start typing a letter, corresponding to a contact name, but will shortly dissappear again.

Hidelogo basically hides the whole carrier logo field. If you use a BT device and want easy access to BT functions, thru the icon, you need to install BTicon. Unfortunately, you also need to install Valksoft True Toolbar to display it on the Today's screen on the botton tray.

Hidelogo will also hide the date field, so if you want the date, you also need to install LVMtime or TodayTime.

sorry
 

just posting so i can see file

Shouldn't really need to post to see the file, just need to be registered and signed in as far as I know, unless Mike changed it.

Welcome anyway!

i like this cdate app....works great, and just what i was looking for.

:)

cdate rocks thank you!!!

You're welcome. Glad you all like it. There will be future advancements as soon as the Mortscript 4.01 is in it's final release.

cDate 2.2 Beta available here. Originally discussion can be found here...
http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=141021

Mostly a few minor changes, but the major change was removing the RunAt command and replaced it with the Sleep command, due to battery draining issues with RunAt.

I decided to keep the wait time to 60 seconds, because if the Phone Radio is turned off the carrier line field will display Phone Off until the phone radio is turned back on. Once the Phone Radio is turned back on, the carrier logo will be placed back. Therefore, cDate requires to write to the carrier field more frequently.

Please uninstall the previous version, before installing this version

I just installed it. I did a soft reset after removing and installed beta, @ first it didn't show up the date but after a another soft reset it started working. maybe I didn't do something right when installing.. all in all its working. thanks again eddie I appreciate all the hard work!

Glad it's working fine. It installs a shortcut in Programs and also Startup, so either shortcut will work or a soft reset will execute it.

cDate 2.3 Beta available here. Originally discussion can be found here...
http://discussion.treocentral.com/sh...d.php?t=141021

- Should resolve Verizon Wireless not displaying the date.
- Resolved issues with date displayed is more than 26 characters
- Minor coding changes
- No longer device specific. Will work on ALL devices using the registry that display to the carrier field. Planning to test this on a friend's Motorola Q and a 6700.


I included the cab installation in the zip. There's also a manual install. Please read the README.TXT file in the zip file for the manual install. Basically, the manual install (assuming a previous version of cDate exists)...
1. Extract the zip file
2. Copy source\cDate.mscr to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Mortscript on your device.
3. Perform a soft reset.

.... eww ....

cDate version 2.4 Beta now available. See first thread.

- Removed registry validation. I tried to make it too fancy before. Simple is better.
- Now compatible with Mortscript 4.01 Alpha 11. I tested using Mortscript v4.01 Apha 9 and Alpha 11, also Mortscript 4.0

ok ... I think I must be missing something. I've tried to install cDate a few different times and I can't seem to get it working right. each time I've installed the cab and clicked on it. the install goes fine and I wait a few minutes to do a soft reset. once I reset, I get an error message that says something like "there is no application associated with cDate, please run the application from its source..."

feel free to offer help and call me names. :D 8)

Did you install Mortscript? You need it to run cDate. :)

thanks, budney. I wondered about that as I was writing my post. :)

Thanks, works great! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Good to hear. Sorry for the late reply though. Busy 4th of July holiday :D
