network status today screen plugin

[whistl]

I recently got a Cingular 8525, and while trying out all kinds of popular free and commercial software (resco and spb products) and customizing my today screen, I found I had a "network" item for the today screen which displayed two lines containing the carrier my phone was connected to, which wifi ESSID I was associated with and whether bluetooth was enabled or not.

It looked like:

---------------------------------------------
AT&T
wifi: budget bluetooth: disabled
---------------------------------------------

That today screen item disappeared after I removed a few software packages to make room in main memory for others. I want it back, but don't know which cab file or software product it was originally part of. Does anyone recognize the item I am talking about? Where does it come from?

Thanks in advance

Sounds like a nice item you mention there. Unfortunately I don't know where it comes from. I use DKToday for displaying the Operator name, signal strength, BT status, call & SMS timers. No wifi status though. Maybe it helps you to get something simular.

This is wireless plugin from M$. It can be reenabled via registry hack or via HtweakC application.

Registry editing as follows (copied from net):
Using a registry editor navigate to...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items]

Create a new key named "Wireless" (YOU MUST USE THE QUOTES)

Create string named: DLL
Value = netui.dll

Create DWORD named: Order
Value = 9

Create DWORD named: Enabled
Value = 1

Create DWORD named: Type
Value = 4

You should'nt need to reset your device. You can enable\disable the plugin by tapping Start, Settings, Today, Items Tab and selecting the plugin.

Thank you KarhU! That was it! I have HTweakC installed, and enabled it through there.
