Anyone? It's REALLY important to me, 'cause I've made my ringer an audio clip from I <3 Huckabee's... "Have you ever transcended space and time?"/"Yes. No. Time, not space. No, I don't know what you're talkin' about." LMFAO :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
the government has decided to continue to use DST this year but Microsoft's Time Zone related updates for WinMo are very much lacking since last year (when DST was first introduced in Pakistan).

i didn't want to manually advance my device clock by an hour because it has "dirty" side effects when you connect to ActiveSync and for SMS timestamping and whatnot...

i knew a tool exists for modifying time zone information for DESKTOP windows so i decided to search for something similar for WinMo...and i came across this:

http://pdconsec.net/blogs/davidr/archive/2009/03/30/windows-mobile-6-1-and-australian-dst.aspx

(you will find the download link in the above page...see also the note below in this post)

i'm only posting this new thread to share how i used the above tool to properly set the DST policy on my device (ROM info in signature)...because it wasn't as simple as i thought!

1. the first step is to ensure that your time zone is selected properly (GMT+5 Islamabad). i think (not sure!) it is also important to enable "Automatic change time zone and clock" in Settings->Personal->Phone.

2. it seems that before you can use the tool, you must set the device date and time BACK so that it is several minutes BEHIND the point in time when DST takes effect. this year, DST took effect at 23:59:59, April 14th, 2009...that is, JUST BEFORE April 15th, 2009. At this point, the clocks move ahead by an hour to read 01:00:00, April 15th, 2009. so i set my device date/time to 23:50:00, April 14th, 2009 (a good TEN minutes behind the DST transition date/time).

3. now run the tool and it will automatically populate the GUI with the settings stored in the registry for the time zone selected in Step 1. alter the DST section so that it starts on the SECOND TUESDAY OF APRIL AT 23:59 WITH A BIAS OF -60 MINUTES. remember to commit your settings to the registry.

4. assuming the ten minutes that you bought yourself in step 2 were enough and you haven't transitioned into April 15th, 2009 while you were performing Step 3, soft reset!

5. after the reboot, you might have a few minutes/seconds to spare...be patient and let it transition into April 15th...then at the transition point, WinMo will pop a message box informing you that DST has been enabled!

6. now set the date/time to whatever is the correct time.

for people having DST issues because Microsoft hasn't pushed the latest updates for WinMo, hope this helps!

cheers!

NOTE/EDIT: i've attached the tool in this post. i did some background checks and it was developed by a user by the name of "Galina" and posted in this thread:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] commando0:
its working on my Touch HD also Thanks for clearing

i had this file but i was unable to make it work .

but it only works if clock is taken back to start of DST time

but can not understand why BAIS is set to -60

it should be +60

but any way its adding 60min to clock that does not matter >>>>>>>
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] tayyeb:
Thanks a lot for this post. I implemented this today. I think the DST update was successful but all my meetings and appointments in the calendar moved ahead by one hour.

I guess i have to manually change them.

[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
Cleaning Up the scrollbars

Windows mobile 6.5 has changed a lot of things to attempt to make things more finger friendly and a little easier on the eyes. One of the new additions to 6.5 is the skinnable scrollbars, and built in "scroll action" with the swipe of a finger. With everything going gestures, you may want to completely do away with scroll bars (and you can) but i suggest something a little different to cleanup your devices screen..... Simply removing the up and down arrows.

If you are brave you can reduce the scrollbar's width to a half or quarter their original "defaut" size and only use them to be able to identify your location on your screen. To do this you will need to set your arrows to zero and adjust your scroll bar width in your registry. I would use Schaps Advanced Config to make your registry changes because it is alot simpler and safer, but if you just must do them by hand, here are the keys:

Change the thickness of scrollbars

To change the thickness of the scrollbars at the right/bottom of documents larger than the screen, adjust...

For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)

For the vertical (right) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 9 (DWORD decimal)

The default thickness is 13. You can set the value to anything you may like

Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons

To go with changing the thickness of the scrollbars, you may wish to change the length of the scrollbar arrow buttons...

For the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)

For the vertical (right) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 0 (DWORD decimal)

The default length is 13. You can set the value to pretty much anything you like​

[General Questions and Answers] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Menus

I noticed you have the HTC Menu Enhancement showing in the screen shots in your 1st post. To disable this and show the Windows Mobile Menus instead. Change the following registry key;

HKLM\System\GWE\Menu

CUIHandler= "DWORD"

Change 1 to 0.

NOTE: The TSK must be for Windows Mobile 6.5 and included the Menu/Scrollbar/ETC registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Today\)
[General Questions and Answers] drkfngthdragnlrd:
You can make custom plugins. In NeoTitanium I made a contact dialer called CContacts. The downside to this though is atm you have to manually go into the registry to add the url's for you contacts and the program use to handled making calls. Hopefully someone who knows programming will make an app to handle this in a GUI interface so even the casual user can make use of it.
[General Questions and Answers] jonnrb:
Wait... Will that key enable the HTC soft menus? I noticed on most 6.5 builds they don't work...

Also as a sidenote: joel, you may want to add how to remove the up and down arrows for the not so adventurous ones that don't want to experiment ;)
[General Questions and Answers] drkfngthdragnlrd:
Only if it's installed I guess. This is how to disable it. Anryl's ROM has it install and turned on by default.
[General Questions and Answers] jonnrb:
That's good news. I've been looking for a way to enable it in the first place on 6.5. It doesn't work at all on 21500.
[General Questions and Answers] drkfngthdragnlrd:
I know for a fact it works on 21500. I have Anryl's 21500 Rev.5 flashed and it has the HTC Soft Menu. I always have to disable it anytime I reflash or hard reset. Hard resets not due to the ROM, due to my changing things and having to test them once done on a clean install.
[General Questions and Answers] jonnrb:
Well now that I know it works, I may build a 6.5 looking soft-menu theme. The 6.5 menus suck. :)
[General Questions and Answers] joel2009:
i may try and throw together a cab file with the registry settings for a quick and easy change if i get some time this weekend ;)
[General Questions and Answers] jonnrb:
Yeah, I'll probably get to throwing out a custom CAB for a lockscreen CPR that I made. ;) It follows your idea of the swapped layout, with lock slider on the left, font size increases, and a ton of minor tweaks that just make it a bit easier on the eyes.

Also, I noticed that you have to modify the CPR a bit more than just setting the layout for the slider to display properly on the left side. If you just set it to appear there, you can get away with just tapping it and the phone will unlock as it's already to the left and an action is set so when the slider is moved to the left, the phone unlocks :eek:. I just simply cleared that event and everything runs smoothly now. :)

Great thread.

[General Questions and Answers] @rj*n:
Ques: is there anyway to make behave 6.5 Start Menu the way it used to in previous WM editions i.e opening Start Menu by tapping the Start button and closing it by tapping the Start button again??

And could anyone find out easier sorting of the Start Menu icons..i hate the way it has to be moved rt now :| (Tap-Hold->Move to Top) i wish it could have been moved by dragging the icons

(Sorry if this is not appropriate here.. if it is please delete!!)
[General Questions and Answers] jonnrb:
The Start Menu issue where you press the Start Menu and nothing happens when it's already open happens because the new Start Menu is simply an EXE that loads CHome components. When you click the Start Menu again, it just opens the Start Menu again. It's not a major issue, but will probably be fixed in the official release of WM6.5.

Now reorganizing the Start Menu is a simple task of editing an XML file that controls the icons and their positioning. After the official release, I guarantee you that there will be somebody that creates a utility to do this with an even greater ease.

Now when you see bugs like that in prerelease software, you know they will be fixed because these small things were in the prerelease of 6.1 and they got fixed as well so rest assured :).

Hi ! I hope someone can help me with this..

I have set up my wifi network with WPA2 security. There are two routers (Netgear N). One serves as the main DHCP server connected to the net and the other one is a wired gateway, with the same SSID, Channel etc.

My HTC TP2 (WM6.5) connects fine to the network on wifi. However it takes a long time to connect. By the time the connection is gets established the data connection starts up and the mails etc. get received through that.

I used WEP earlier and did not face this issue with that. I think it may have something to do with PMKCache settings. But I can't find those in the 6.5 registry.

Any suggestions will be very welcome.

always takes me to today screen

Problem solved:

Talking about that autolockscreen

Everytime my phone goes to stand by and I turn the screen back on and unlock it, it shows today screen, and i want it to show the last window or program I was using.

For example using G-remote, I'm using the app and I leave it for a while.. the phone locks automatically and goes to stand by after a programmed time, so when I unlock it I have to open G-remote again from the taskbar.

But, if I lock the screen manually (start menu->lock) this doesn't happen even if I make it go to stand by (by pressing the power button) after I lock it manually.

It only happens if I let it or make it go to stand by without locking it before.

Is this a WM 6.5 lockscreen bug or what? because even if i set the today timeout for a really long time, or just disable it, it keeps happening.

Please help me...

I fixed the problem by installing the smart lock 2.0F

then disabling the autodevicelockenable (0)
[General Questions and Answers] WaltA:
Change double spaced menus/windows back to single spaced?

I just switched from using 6.1 for years to 6.5.3. ;)

One of the things that changed, that I would like to change back, is the double spacing in menus and windows. For example, in File Explorer, there is now a large gap now between each file name listed. I assume to allow "fat finger room" when selecting a filename by hand instead of by stylus. However, having more file names listed per screen is more important to me than "fat finger room".

Does anyone know the registry hack to go back to single spacing?

BTW, I know it can be done. I was playing around with themes, loaded a 6.1 theme, and I had single spacing. However, I ended up having to remove that theme because it caused unrelated problems (the icons in the lower taskbar turned into garbage :eek: ).
