[30 sept] Modify HTC Home - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi everyone,
first, sorry if I'm wrong to creat a new thread...
Well I've got a Kaiser and I'd like to edit the links on the HTC Home : I want to launch G-alarm when I pish the clock.
If you know how to, please...
Thanks.

I am pretty sure you cannot do this.

That's pretty sad...

I was thinking about that...
That's strange, I mean, there must be a link somewhere that launch the clock when you push it. I've tried to find it but I'm not a good hacker.
If somebody knows...
Thanks.

It pretty muchg has to be hardcoded into the program but looking in the Windows folder, thereare many HTC related files and I have no idea which to look at for this particular setting - even if I knew how to edit them once I found it.
I would think it's linked to HTCHome.dll or htcMenuSetting
Good luck on finding this because it would be cool to activate gAlarm via the clock rather than a quick launch button on the launcher

G-Alarm
Hello,
i have the same problem, can us help anyone???
thanks

Combined LG Prada/Voyager Today Plugin

I found a really software that I want to share with everyone. Thanks to sundar_amn for this great find.
If you guys have seen the LG Prada or the LG Voyager phone, you will noticed that this plugin looks really nice with nice user interface. It might need a lil TWEAk to activate a few programs when pressing the buttons.
So far buttons that does not respond:
In Phone Menu: NewMMS
In Media Menu: Java Manager
In Utility: Voice Recorder brings up Task, instead of Voice Recorder
In Settings Menu: Backlight, USB Stick, Bluetooth, and Power does not respond.
If anyone can tweak this, it would be a great plugin. I'm trying to see through registry and other ways but could not find it.
Also, Software that is packaged into the plugin are PocketCM, GSFinder+, and GSAlarmClock.
FYI: Don't know who the real Author of this app though, but thanks
I installed it great theme but i need to know if someone can make a configuration file for this. i want to mainly add new icons/programs n change program paths. thanks in advance
Thats really one of the best plugins for the today screen that i know.
As long as there is no tool to configure it, i cant use it anyway...
Could someone please build that?
I love the fact thats its fingerfriendly!
thanx
02 plus
I also found an awesome plugin on this site. its called 02 plus, I love it, you can add several pages of icons and all the pages are easily accessabe by named tabs. the ONLY problem i have with it is my dialer pops up randomly.Especially after downloading,installing or changing programs. its such a handy tool im willing to live with the glitch but if anyone knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate it!!! if anyone is interested in it here is the .cab for it. thanks in advance for any help given.
Hey, I am new to this whole changing stuff on your phone and tweaking it and all that. Now i see you guys have posted files. Do I only need to put the file on my phone and it will work or how do I do it?
new2pda
ya iv had my htc touch for about 6 months now and I was definatly a newbie when I got it. they are very addictive. there's way to much to try to explain in one place. if you have any specific ?s feel free to PM me and ill help any way I can.
So what is the latest version of this software out? because i see a few out right now and want the latest version.
When i press contacts it opens up pocket cm 13 when i have pocketcm 23!
when i installed this on my mogul i had the home screen customizer running right.
but when i installed this it took it off and instead of this appearing on the bottom of the screen its on the top
any ideas of whats wrong

1 Tab HTC Home

Guys,
First of all thanks to all contributors on this site.
Now let me mention that i'm not artistic at all, hence i depend a lot on all the great skinners here to make my device look neat.
My question is : I'd like to have the Tab bar disappear from HTC Home if i only have 1 Tab. Actually let's just make it disappear. Is it possible? The reason is that i just want to use the Home screen as i use other softs for Weather, Launcher and Contacts. That would save quite a bit of space on today.
If anyody has done it or knows how to do it, please let me know.
Thanks
Matt
the closest thing ive found is pocket digital clock a couple threads below... or the batterystatus theme i use in my iStyle theme

Goto post #1 of that thread and download the zip file for the original theme and extract the htc files and overwrite them in your device. You should probably disable htc home plugin first then re-enable. You might have to soft-reset as well.
Hm...all it did was make it 1 tab, it did not make my tabs disappear
i suggest you check out UltimateLaunch, ditch htchome and use a small clock or something like RLToday. I chose to use RLToday for just a clock and messages notifier
I also would like to see this. I have been looking for this for a long time.
I'm interested also.
As Michaelr219 suggested above, search for "pocket digital clock". I've been using it for a few days and it works well. It takes up less space also.
I highly recommend using batterystatus theme:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
There are lots to choose from and some look much better than HTC home.
yeh, batterystatus and it's themes are very cool & flexible!!

"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...
Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.
Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.
when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.
For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

I just installed and my text messages dont work. any idea?
Installed great! thanx a lot.
Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.
diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.
Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

[APP] FEWidgets (Omnia like widgets, need it done VGA)

This is an app that puts widgets like the Omnia on the today screen. The only issue is that it doesn't support VGA yet (hence the reason for the post). I used SecondToday to get another today screen, loaded FEWidgets, and mapped the top volume key to go back and forth between TF3D and the today screen with FEWidgets. It worked liked a charm, with no lag or hesitation. The widgets worked fine by controlling comm devices like bluetooth and WIFI. The only thing you may have to change is the wallpaper in the programs folder in order to get VGA (480x640) wallpaper to cover the whole screen (once you get them in the folder there is actually a widget you can change them with). FEWidget does use the entire screen, so other today screen plugins can not be used. The only problem is the widgets are small (QVGA), and looking to you guys to find a solution. I haven't had a chance to look at the files, but I will to see if the widget icons can be manipulated. It is damn cool though. A simple button press takes you to another screen with widgets!!!!! The Diamond engine handles it so well, it should have been intergrated. Here is the link to the thread, and all credit goes to nicodega for an awsome app.

Dude wrong thread for your request and question, and I didn't make them, the icons and request should be done in the proper thread. Just hit the link and go through them, the cab files are there or PM me, this thread is for something totally different
VGA version
I'm working with nicodega to get this perfected on the Diamond.

hi all,
i am running the last version of this great application on my Diamond.
it seems to be fine and fast, remap the left soft key in TF3D et voila'.
many thanks to the developer.
ciao
yes, you are right, it works!!
not so smooth but it´s nice to play with!

hi guys,
frankly speaking, this application is nice to see but useless.
it dry a lot of memory and if you dont get it still on the background..... is slow to open.
anyway, thanks for sharing.
ciao

ok so I can not find this mod mentioned in the thread you posted, nor can I find it via search which more or less leaves me no chance as to ask you again in the wrong thread if you could point me to the mod or the file to get those icons changed.
Thank you in advance and sorry, I do know its the wrong thread. As it should be a simple question to answer though I would highly appreciate a hint
cheers
Just tried it out.. And it is really nice! However.. It is pretty laggy..
Have a look at this vid
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=doOLS2oPTGY
How have they made it so fast and smooth? And there is more widgets there.. Maybe the got a newer version ?
Oh and maybe i have gotten this wrong, but as i have understood this, you guys have takin this today plugin out of the omnia right?

well thats str8 up on the omnia... we are dealing with porting it do a different resolution... i'm not too sure why else it may be lagging but i'm sure it will be smoothed out in the coming releases.
One thing i really like is the screen rotation of the omnia in that video... is that impossible to get for our diamonds?
thks but don't work on my diamond
Does anyone know how to assign specific buttons to toggle this in SecondToday? All I see is right and left softkey and neither of them seem to work anyway. Ideally I'd like the Home key to toggle between TF3D and FEWidgets.
Secondly, if I run the FEWidgets alone I can move them around etc. but if it's loaded through SecondToday I cannot, is there a way to fix this?

I fonz as a panel?

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-ifonz-v0-9-9.html
Quite a cool I phone looking app. How hard would it be for someone to make this a panel?
I guess really the question should be... Why don't you just buy an iPhone? My guess is this is just a today screen plugin, similar to TF3D. If that is the case, running it should be about the same at TF3D on the X1. I know some people in the Diamond forum were trying to get ifonz to work.
Jep, same thought! Go und lock yourself up with an iPhone...
i really dont get why anyone on earth likes the iphone. but whatever.
Well why not a iphone lookalike panel when the tf3d seems very popular,it´s all about to replace/complement the panels we already have onboard as i see it..
iphone is a nice phone and i cant say i havent put iphone like apps on my 6800 and thought about it for my tp but i thought again and whats the point i may as well have just gotten an iphone. its probably best to get apps from iphone (if at all possible) instead of the flashy looking ui. it gets boring after a while. not taking anything away from the people that develop those programs because its something i cant do and it amazes me. so keep up the good work but just not for me at least not for extended periods.
you could ask the author
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656&highlight=ifonz
Does this install as a Today plugin or an app itself?
Oops... found the answer. It ain't a Today plugin. So guess it somehow replaces the today screen? And that why TS's there asking about if anyone can convert it to a panel?
I find this is a discussion worth picking up again! so has anybody put some thought to it?
I tried the latest version of ifonz ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=436656) and it works pretty good with full landscape support and loads of customisation options.
Now ... I know nothing about programming .. but is it hard to make it come up as a panel?
The way it works now it is an .exe which u need to start manually (similarly to the T3D before the panel .cab came out) ... so what does it take to get a panel .cab for this little app?
I thought about contacting the author but then again I dont see why this should be his business ... he probably doesnt even have the Xperia!
So any ideas on this?
thx
I'd think the one most able to come up with a panel for this at the moment should be the guy who did the panel for TF3D.
I tried installing the ifonz using the .exe but they mentioned about throwing an exception?
I've searched almost everywhere for an answer but have yet to find one. I still can't install iFonz on the XPERIA. I was wondering, do I download the files on the phone itself then run the exe (if that's possible) OR run it on the desktop/laptop with the XPERIA connected via activesync which I have been trying to do. But on my Laptop, I get an error that it has failed and on my desktop it says something about an exception.
no u are supposed to install it on the xperia ... maybe u r doing the same mistake that I did the first time I tried to install ... this may sound stupid but u need to copy the .zip onto your xperia and then actually extract the files before u can install them!
Reason I m saying this is because when u click on .zip after u copied it onto your xperia it will automatically change folder and show u a list of all the files that are in that .zip.
intuitively u would probably click the .exe right away however if u do this u get an error saying that the file cannot be installed for unknown reasons etc. if you however, extract the files to a folder of your choice then u can click the .exe and the installation works just fine
alternatively, u may just be needing to install microsoft net framework 3.5 which u can download for free on the microsoft website .. if you search this forum u will find a link to it ..
sorry for late reply, hope that helps
Ah thank you! Yes, I have installed Microsoft Net Framework (I did do my research haha). I will try it out now!
Okay, now that I have ifonz I realised that I don't like it. Worst of all, when I switch on my phone, it starts off in the ifonz page. And so I deleted the ifonz folder. But now, when I switch on my phone, they mention an error as they are unable to find ifonz.exe. How do I get rid of this annoying pop up?
