Carrier on Iconbar? - Motorola Q Forum

N7AS · 09-12-2007, 07:21 PM

Is there a way to put the Carrier on the Iconbar using Orange.dll?

I've tried modifing the 'Time on Iconbar", but can't seem to get it to work. There must be some error, as the homescreen will not appear in the selection list.

Has anyone tried to do this?

i succeeded putting the clock on the icon bar but not anything else... did i already given you my homescreen xml so you can look at it ?

Yes, you can do it pretty easily. Much the same way you put the clock in there. I'd do a quick one for you, but I am headed to bed shortly, 4am comes early.

If I get a chance tomorrow, I'll put one together and upload it.

I don't think I have your xml. I would be interested in seeing it.

I tried recoding the xml for the clock on the Iconbar, but it would not load. I think it would be logical to have the Carrier on the Iconbar. Besides, I like my clock to be larger than the size than go there.

Thanks. I will be looking for it. I tried to do it like the clock, but failed. I wish there was some kind of emulator that would read all plugins (orange.dll, HomeScreenNotificationPlugin.dll and such) so I could review it on the PC first. Something without having to install an SDK.

you can get the .xml here, it's the Mesh.home.xml secondly did you check if Orange is installed ? you should see it in your Remove Programs, it's called JRulez OHSP.

thanks dude... that would allow for some extra unused real-estate in case the clock is elsewhere.

Orange is installed and working on other homescreens including some I created.

I'm really amazed that you didn't figure this one out yet.

Did this up real quick. Used the Carrier text from my Ironman page, and a home page that had orange already built in. A quick combo and I get this

The xml code is in this zip file Download (its only 1k)
Hope this helps.
