Simply HTC Home with rlToday plugin - Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General

Hi all since I'm using WM6 I like the HTC Home Plugin but it drain a lof of resources so I draw a simple rlToday skin wich is like first one
- This skin do not need mortscript
- You need only rToday plugin and a font to be installed
(also you can update skin.xml to use system fonts)
How to install:
1) unzip the skin and copy the folder under \Program Files\rlToday
2) copy *.ttf to \Windows\Fonts
3) enable this skin in rlToday plugin via Setting\Today from start menu
Note:
* If you like to change the clock font remember to adjust XY coord
* You can choose to show current operator or cell broadcast message by updating the XML with these registry paths:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone\Current Operator Name
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\State\Phone\Cell Broadcast
Change log:
20070805
- Fixed hour digit X coord
- Added the current CELL Broadcast message
Thanks you all forum.xda

Cell Broadcast Messages?
Thanks.. I have modified the applications since most of them are different on my 6828. + added Last Incoming Call line as well. Do you have any idea whether rlToday supports Cell Broadcast Messages?

whawhawha...héhé...nice job
I go to try !

is there a formula to make this 240x240 compatible? or it's just trial and error?

There is a complete documentation for rlToday here
Worth reading it

The front of the phone has a beautiful high quality metal finish, at the bottom we have the phone end and send buttons, the end button also doubles up as the home button, a Windows key which is a requirement for future devices that will support Windows Mobile 6.5 and a back button. Above the keys you can see the zoom slider, this is a touch sensitive panel that you slide your finger along to zoom in and out of pictures and web pages.

dialpad

Does anyone know how to change the horrible dialpad?
I tried to change the bitmaps buth they are write protected
Re
Yes, HTC's dialpad is horrible.
I see two options to change the stuff:
1. Try to reverse engineer format of HTC dialer and than overwrite existing bitmaps with new ones (overwriting instead of deleting should work).
2. Switch off this dialpad completely and fall back to default WM5 dialer.
To do this just use the registry tweak:
HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled = 0 (DWORD decimal)
(to have it back put 1)
Two bad options
Hi,
i followed the changes from Mr Anderson
Two possibilities
1) Changes registry: I have an blue dialer skin (bad!), because i have an Herald in Black IPOHONE Design
2) I play an phone skin on the herald (Zombinexus) and then I have the white and black original from HTC (bad!)
No changes to get an black (only black) skin?
Thanks
Oliver
Use these skin
Made a black skin, copy files to windows folder. Include area for headset symbol.
All I did was create a new theme (so when you select it it dosn't force any of the installed dialers), then used the webpatrck dialer from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=263579&page=29 (I am pretty sure you will be ok to use any of the dialpads in that thread).
Works a charm and i can still use smart dial.
It works! Thanks!
Thanks Pasa, it works.
Looks 1000% better than the HTC phone skin
Oliver
WM5 dialpad
After complete disabling of HTC dialpad (which took, BTW, not only setting 0 at HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled, but also complete deletion of all subkeys at HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\ and at HKLM\Software\HTC\Phone Canvas) we have default WM5 dialer which can be skinned by any of "out-of-the-box" skins around.
All you need for that is just to replace *.gif and *.png according to list below:
backarrow_glyph.gif
clg_in.gif
clg_miss.gif
clg_out.gif
dlrbtn_dwn_land.gif
dlrbtn_dwn_port.gif
dlrbtn_up_land.gif
dlrbtn_up_port.gif
dlrbtndef_dwn_land.gif

dlrbtnend_up_port.gif
dlrbtntalk_up_land.gif
dlrbtntalk_up_port.gif
spd_lst.gif
dlrback_land.png
dlrback_port.png
The skin idea is very simple - png-files are background images and all other files are single button images in different state. Much easier, then in Windows 2003 Phone Edition, where you need even to store icon of pressed button in separate dll-file.
To replace that files you'll need good PPC file manager, for. ex., Resco - both default Explorer and file access from PC do not allow to overwrite files in ROM.
The other corresponding task - replacing Intellidialer.
After a long process of making decision I picked up EzDial 2.1 - brilliant piece of software, 100 kb CAB file make it very easy to dial any number from your contact list. And it's also skinnable! (See screenshot).
Moreover, I made my own WM6 dialer skin - check screenshots and archive file.

OK, It looks I'm a little lamer here.
I downloaded this black skin and copied the bmp's into my Artemis' windows folder.How can I use it? Do I need some registry modification?
Copy...
Hey eref,
i hope i can give you an tip with my bad english.
Copy the _land and _Port files (not with the folder!!!!) in the windows folder. The herald asks you "Do you wish... change the rom" an you say "Yes"
I do it on this way, and it worked.
Hoped it helped!

Hi All,
Attached is the file of very nice dialpad, you all can try it!

HTCHomeplug revealed

OK I was working in the customization of the HTCHomeplug.
What is HTCHomeplug? If you own a HTC X7500 Advantage (the HTC make of Athena or Ameo) then in the Today screen you got a plugin that shows some icons like Battery, Rotation, Comm Manager, Screen Light, Quick GPS and TVOut. What I discovered is who to deal with this plugin in order to change the icons and applications associated there.
I used PHM Registry to edit entries at the PPC registry, but you can use the editor of your like.
First is access using the registry editor to this entry:
/HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/SOFTWARE/HTC/HTCHomeplug
There is the configuration of the plugin. There we will find two entries pointing to the first two icons (Battery and Rotation) that seems to be configured in a different way that the rest of the icons. Those are the two DWORD entries:
PowerIconSlot with value of 0 (this means the first position in the plugin)
RotateIconSlot with value of 1 (this means the second position)
The rest of the positions in the HTCHomeplug appears like KEY entries with names from 2 to 5 meaning positions 3 to 6 in the plugin bar.
Inside each key (2 to 5) we find 3 values (or entries):
1- iconindex DWORD type of Decimal which contains 103 in the case of entry KEY 2
2- LaunchApPath STRING contains the path to the executable file associated to the icon
3- ResPath STRING contais the path to the resource file which contais the icon image poited by iconindex entry. This path points to a DLL or EXE file containing the icon image.
So... since we want to add a icon/application we need to create the entry KEY 6 and we must create both STRING entries and DWORD one inside the KEY 6.
To add Tomtom Navigator in the HTCHomeplug (as an example) I added:
iconindex = 101
LaunchApPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
ResPath = \Program files\Navigator\Tomtom Navigator.exe
So I'm using the icon storaged in the Tomtom Navigator executable file itself and my Tomtom is in the path I show in the entry. Off course this could not match your installation.
How I found the iconindex information that points to the icon in the Tomtom's EXE file??? Easy I used a program called RViewer (for PPC) develop by Vicott Wong. The program can by found in Google or in the web page shown in the About screen.... http://mobile-sg.com
Running that program and browsing the EXE file (or a DLL) we can see the index for each resource and if it's an image the image is display in the screen, so I found the 101 is the index for the Tomtom icon inside de EXE file.
Once the entries in the Registry are done the rest is easy. Just go into Start - Configuration - Personal - Today and int the Elements Tab. There unmark the HTCHomeplug and exit the configuration going into the Today screen to check that the plugin is not in the screen. Then we back to the Today configuration and select again the HTCHomeplug to mark it. Once we are back into the Today screen we will see the new icon.
(OK in the previous paragraph I'm translating the menu options and clicks from my spanish release of WM5 into english one so the names could not match... what you need to do is configure Today screen to remove the plugin and to configure again to insert the plugin, that way the plugin is reseted and the new icons loaded).
I did several tests and looks like the HTCHomeplug only supports 7 icons (0 to 6) but since many of the original icons are not use on daily bases we can setup up to 5 programs in that plugin leaving the Battery and Rotary icons in its place.
I hope this is useful... and I beg your pardon for my poor english.

mahjong
P.S.: I posted this first at todopocketpc.com in spanish. If you know that language maybe you prefer read it in my mother language. For sure will be much better written.

Excellent post and thanks for your efforts and sharing! I'll be trying this out later. Just what I was looking for.
I'll report my experiences later.
Excellent! I will try this!
When using TrueVGA, does anybody know a way of making the icons work? I see only 1/4th of an icon, and it's even the wrong icon. The only icon is the one for the Light Settings...
Anybody know the iconindex for Opera so i can have the Opera icon instead of Web&Walk icon!
Mahjong tells you how to find it...

No Joy I'm afraid...
I'm afraid that it hasn't worked for me on the Ameo. Maybe it's due to how T-Mob have configured/altered things with their customisation of their ROM.
I reverted to using the TrayApplet in the same regedit folder that the HTCHompeplug resides in, but to no avail.
Quote "Just go into Start - Configuration - Personal - Today and int the Elements Tab.

No HTC Plugin on the Ameo Today settings menu either, but visible in HLKM...software etc...as the HTCHomeplug.
I can get some of my choice of programs in the TrayApplet, but not the associated icons!!??!!
Same as before when I tried. Anyone else with an Ameo who has had success in getting it to work with the right icons?
Hi,
Thanks for the tip, it's really useful! I wanted to customize the plugin but didn't have the patience to go through all the registry.
Twp questions though:
- I made a shortcut for the calculator (calc.exe) but the icon is too big (both res. index 0 or 100 in calc.exe). Is there a way to scale it down, or a smaller calculator icon in another file? What's the "main" icon library for Windows Mobile (the equivalent of shell32.dll under Windows)
- I tried to make a shortcut to the phone application, but I can't find the exe file (the Start menu shortcut doesn't point to an exe file, but to :MSCProg?......). And I can't find the icon either...
Please help.
Regards,
Silviu
Hi silviu.h.
Which Athena device do you have, Advantage, Dopod or Ameo?
Hi, I have the HTC Advantage (not Ameo, not Dopod), and the vanilla french ROM.

Thanks for the reply. That would explain why to a large extent it works on your device.
P.S. try \Windows\HTCICON.dll (I think that is the equivalent to shell32.dll)
Let us know how you get on.
Thank you for your answer.
The hack from mahjong works OK, except for the quirks I have already posted above (the Calc.exe icon is too big and I can't find the main icon store). htcicon.dll doesn't exist
However it's OK for Tomtom.
I'll keep you posted on my findings (I'm not giving up, I just have to go to bed )
See you,
Silviu

Well, you can simply enable it on the T-Mobile Ameo using the following Reg-Keys:
- Navigate to: HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items
- Create a new Key named: HTC-Homeplug (or whatever you like)
- Navigate into that key
- Create the following items under that key:
String: DLL
Value: htchomeplug.dll
DWORD: Enabled
Value: 0 (or 1 if you want to enable it directly)
DWORD: Flags
Value: 0
DWORD: Options
Value: 0
DWORD: Order
Value: 0
DWORD: Type
Value: 5
After doing the above go to your today-screen settings and the Homeplug plugin is there...
Cheers
I seem to have BOTH HTCHomeplug and Trayapplet on my Ameo
It seems that there is a today item [email protected] or something I can turn on/off that doesnt appear to do anything, I beleive this is turning on/off the HTCHomeplug.
Because Trayapp is already on, and overwriting the HTChomeplug you only see its icons, therefor the homeplug is hidden.
I will experiment with turning off trayapp then turning on the @home today item and see what happens, but it looks like a lot of the confusion for Ameo users is the fact both are installed.
I did a hard reset, and didnt fiddle with the home/tray stuff, so this is how the rom set it up!

The T-Mobile plugin has nothing to do with the HTC-Homeplug. HTC-Homeplug provides the sam functionality as the TrayApp.
The [email protected] Today Plugin is only useful for T-Mobile customers as it provides functions for HomeZone users.
The dll name hztdplug.dll means HomeZoneTodayPlugin...
If you want to use the HTC-HomePLug plugin you have to create the registry key I've posted above.
Cheers
Ok, I dont want the homezone rubbish.
But im still stuck with both HTCHomeplug and Trayapp
How do I enable/disable the trayapp? That doesnt seem to have any today element to it. I cant get icons working at all in trayapp and wanted to try the HTCHomeplug as that looks a much more userfriendly app.

Go to HKLM\init
Delete the Launcher for TrayAp.exe. On mine it is Launch92...
Make a Softreset after you changed this setting and the TrayAp is gone.
Cheers
Thanks!
I now have the HTC Homeplug working, and the trayapp gone! W00t!
I like the bigger icons, and now I can edit them better im happy. Much nicer.
Anyone thought about coding a contol panel applet for this homescreen plugin??

If you use combination of Spb pocket plus and Commmgrpro, you don't need to deal with these problems of wrong size icons in the comm manager and home plug. Both of these need not be used at all.
I'm yet to find a replacement for Spb GPRS monitor though. SPb GPRS monitor also have problem displaying in true VGA. There are some but they do not show the kbps figure - only the downloaded volume.

This is a great treat. I just sent you a PM earlier requesting a copy of v1.1x and of course you delivered to the community. - Excellent!
thank you very much.
i think that's what the windows mobile platform lacks is good native animation. thank you
Hi ssj5trunks,
great work. TNX for publishing the new version(after all this ...) as freeware.
Works great on LG-KS20, animation speed has highly improved and settings of 1.0.4 are taken over. File browser is pretty cool.
TNX again

Excuse me for being new at this, but when I click the weather tab from my HTC Diamond it doesnt give me any weather information, do I need to download some kind of other weather application, and if so, what do you recommend?
thanks in advance
thanx for another great update...just noticed how the bottom row of icons are pushed further down the screen covering their reflections and no longer push the icons to the corners when opening programs
Cavolo, ora il rendering è perfetto (ad eccezzione della visualizzazione orizzontale) sul mio Glofiish M800 e se non sbaglio il software ora è molto più leggero !
Domani mattina appena arrivo in ufficio farò la mia donazione !
Grazie !

Amazing, now rendering is perfecet on my VGA Glofiish M800 and it seems to be a litle bit light then older release !
thanks for share, updated
I will be installing this later tonite. SInce it's a .exe file, must we use ActiveSync or just run the .exe on the fone? I am using KS20.
the unzipped .exe file -- vs. -- cab file
Hey that confused me too... So I just clicked the .exe file on the phone device, and ifonz launched as usual.
But still, that would be a major change in installation procedure. hopefully ssj5trunks will explain.

Installation
=============================
- Uninstall older version
- Extract ZIP in any folder and start iFonz.exe

Cool, so there;s no more isntallation, eh? Just put the files in the folder and the magic application runs like a gem.
Spanish Translation BETA (recently cooked ):
My LG KS20 is running on iFonz 1.1.2 now. Whoa....... WOW!!! YAY!!!!
1) It runs at least 50% faster than the older one
2) Graphical sharpness is like 50% better (very clear!!!!)
3) The 'setting' display is sooooooooo sharp and nice now.
Brings me lotsa smiles!!!
By the way, I did not uninstalled the 1.0.4. I copied and overwritten the folders in 1.0.4 and the "iFonz" program in "Remove Programs" dissapear when I run it for the first time. Is it okay?
(reason for not deleting because worry newer version will not run, like S2U2 1.3 vs 1.22, my KS20 can't run v1.3)
Amazing
Great job :eek :
I am impressed, this plus the new S2u2 and PCM keyboard on the Diamond look amazing and snappy. Touchflo will have to keep quiet for a while.
Thanks
I hv problem running the new S2U2 v1.30. When I wake up my KS20, my S2U2 keeps hanging. I have reverted back to v1.22 which is much more stable.
One question 4 Diamond users: Is only me or anyone more have iFonz too slow changing froms pages?
All animatyions are too slow (tf3d disabled)
It might be because you have a cooked rom.
There is a little load time when launching an app but except for that it's all good.
I have turned off the fading effects though in Ifonz settings.
It might help.
I want to try the Omnia D3d drivers as well to see if it makes any difference.

[MORTSCRIPT] S2PC for iPhonetoday (Albumart yeha)

Hi,
Since iPhonetoday is such a great today plugin I decided to add some more functionallity.
What does it do?:
Basicly it starts S2P minimizes it then starts playback and replaces the top 6 (or 8) icons with control/status icons for S2P and reverts to your original icons once S2P exits .
Features:
- Replaces top 6 or 8 icons with S2P control/status icons
- Refreshes icons on track change
- Display current album or artist
- Display current title
- Display current albumart
- Play/Pause, Volume up, Volume down, Next, Previous, Maximise S2P (Mute, Exit only on 8 icon setting)
- Energy saving option for stopping the script once the phone gets locked by S2U2
- revert to your original icons once S2P exits
- crops Artist/Album/Title if it is to long to be displayed by iPhonetoday
- If no titles are loaded into S2P it will show a reminder and maximize S2P
- creates a backup.xml on first run
Requirements:
- Mortscript
- S2P
- iPhonetoday
Installation:
- extract S2PC.zip
- edit the s2pc.ini to your desired settings
- copy the extracted content into \iPhonetoday\
- in iPhonetoday add an icon linking to \iPhonetoday\S2PC\start.mscr
Changelog:
(I will follow iPhonetoday version numbering so my v. 0.6.1 will be compatible to iPhonetoday 0.6.1)
- 0.6.1
-Initial release
Known Bugs:
- Sometimes the icon refreshing is slow (no solution on my side, sorry has to be done in iPhonetoday -> Refreshing icons from external exe)
- When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.
I will try to convince A_C to add a "Device is locked" Registry value. If not I don´t see a solution for this other than not using s2u2 for calls/volume.
Last but not least
I used some programms from different sources i would like to thank
No Plugins Today
Mortscript
thebond for his volume control scripts.
The s2pc.ini:
s2ppath=\Program Files\s2p\
Here you specify the folder where S2P is installed (mind the slashes).
s2pproblem=No music files are loaded into S2P. Please load music files and start playback.
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when no files are loaded into S2P.
s2pabort=Aborting S2PC
Here you can edit the message that is displayed when S2P aborts.
albumorartist=
Here you specify if album or artist shold be shown in the first row.
1 for album
0 for artist
pageselect=0
Here you specify on which page the controls sould be displayed (0 for the first page and so on) If the selected page doesn´t exist it will be displayed on the last page.
energysave=1
If this is set to 1 the script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when S2U2 locks the device.
!There is a bug in this function. When using S2U2 to control your volume and/or to answer calls(when not locked). The script will revert your icons to original and exit the script when receiving a call and/or changing volume with s2u2.
I will try to convince A_C to add a "Device is locked" Registry value. If not I don´t see a sollution for this other than not using s2u2 for calls/volume.
resumeafterunlock=1
If this is set to 1 and energysave is allso set to 1 the script will rerun on unlocking but only if the script already ran at locking
eighticons=0
If this is set to 1 8 Icons are displayed instead of 6

As you can see the icon updating process takes pretty long so updating every minute would render iPhonetoday nearly unusable.
Maybe when another refresh option is there I will try to make a digital clock for the first row.
ya it take a bit more time... but tuning it would do better
digital clock would be great help to all...
