Hi All,
Have searched forums and cant find an answer for my prob.
I am trying to get the HTC Home Customizer working on my Hermes (SPVM3100 with Duttys WinMob6 Ver 2 upgrade)
The HTC Home Plugin appears in my Today config, and the various files appear in Windows (HTCICON.dll, HTCPLU.exe etc).
However, when I run the homecust.exe file I get an error saying HTC Home Plugin is not installed? (It is!).
I have extracted the zipped HTC Home Customizer file directly onto a folder on my storage card as someone posted that it doesnt work when the files are extracted on the PC and copied across.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Mark

Thanks for your reply, Mike.
I have already been all the way through this thread with no joy.
I THINK it may be due to the version of HTC Plugin that is included with Duttys WM6 upgrade. The file sizes of the key files (HTCPLUG.EXE and HTCICON.DLL) have different dates and sizes.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Has anyone got the HTC Plugin Cusyomize App working on Duttys WM6 Ver 2?
Cheers

If you suspect it may be related to the HTC Plugin version, then try downloading the plugin version attached in the thread Mike linked you to.
As far as extracting files, that's the way you should do it: extract on pc then transfer the resulting folder.
With it not running for you, that means the version you are running doesn't have the reg key I'm checking for (location of HTCHome.dll). I'm always trying to make the customizer as compatible as possible, so could you let me know which version of the plugin you are running and possibly a link to it? (Even though you should install one of the cabs from my thread as previously mentioned, as they support all of the customizer's options)
Right, thanks for your help guys - think I have sussed it!
It seems I was getting confused with two different software applications:
HTC HomePlug - just gives some icons (a la PHM Traylaunch)
HTC Home - The big box jobbie with clock, weather etc.
Dont know if others having this confusion, or whether it's just me having noobitis!
Sussed when I realised the customizer application was looking for HTCHome.dll and I had HTCHomeplug.dll - two totally different things!
Thanks again, sussed and working now!

I just downloaded UL and i love it, but all the menu's are in German. anyone know of an English version?
There you go...

do you know where i can get a icon package for this program. extension *.ico
It uses standard windows icons...
You can find *.ico files all over internet for windows, aslong as you use 32x32 and 48x48 for animated icon then its easy.
Tabs must be big enough for icons..

hi, could someone upload a .cab installer for this?

BYE, Bobo
it would be nice to be able to use icon .dll files. currently i have an icons.dll that has a bunch of icons inside that i used for cLaunch. This program will only see the first icon. is there a way to make it use any of the other icons in the file?

Anyone having a problem with it freezing when it starts up? It happens to me when I have a voicemail. The active sync would open and then I can't do anything. I ended up hard reseting my phone to be able to run my phone again. I like this program. I just don't want to keeping hard reseting my phone everytime I get a voicemail and soft reseting before I clear it.
this is one sweet app.
anyone know how to enable the Task and Schedule today plugins to work in the tabs?
Anyone buy the full version yet? I tried this program and loved it, so I bought it from Handango.com. The registration seemed to work, but at some point I got "not activated" all over the screen. I went back into the configure program, and the registration code went back to all 0's. I've since been flashing a few different rom's (trying to find the best 6.1 for my 8525) so I haven't reloaded it yet. Hopefully it was a freak thing, and it'll work once I reload it.

I guess he wanted to say if it was possible to chose Calendar and Tasks as a tab. I really don't know this isn't possible - it simply doesn't show in the plugins list

I had the same problem when i first installed it, phone freezes then activesync opens and the phone stops to respond, had to hard reset too .
I made sure that all active today plugins are not dsiplayed ( settings,today, uncheck them ) then installed ultimatelauncher, loaded those plugins into seperate ultimatelauncher tabs. been working fine so far, I had no problems ,been two days now .
For the *.ico files, i converted few *.tga icons to *.ico , ultimatelauncher would see them but won't load them .. so i figured it could be the size of the icon, a bit big for ultimatelauncher ( 40 X 40 ) .. will try with smaller icons later .
Edit : tried with ( 16 X 16 ) icons and still ultimatelauncher won't load them
Hi Everybody!
I should receive my 2nd hand HTC Diamond Touch today.
With all the mods, hacks and apps on this here forum, I was wondering what was the first thing you changed on your handset?
For me I will be unlocking the device and hoopefully the ROM.
Any suggestions as to what to mod/hack next?
{?
The ROM because the retail ROM sucks!
My New (to me) Diamond
Changed the ROM to shaks 4.30 topaz, installed touch HD weather app, Background4all, Transparent slider and Glass Clock V2. Oh yeah, and the changescreen rotation application for landscape mode.
Look around and experiment with what you like and works best for you. The forum's a wealth of information if you take the time to search!
tried all the newer roms out there, and so far, the quickest bug free ROM ive used is duttys v4....its quick, with loads of memory left...(see ROM link in my sig to go straight to the ROM)
then, i normally change the clock, the top curtain, and then the slider.
I'm currently on

Very stable, I haven't had a problem yet. I've been heavily using it since yesterday and I haven't been able to find a bug or anything that bothers me yet.
You should try it, you will be amazed of how finger friendly it is!

I didn't get much time to play with my phone today. However, I have managed to de-brand and do a sim unlock. So for now, my spec reads:
ROM VERSION 1.37.405.1 WWE
RADIO VERSION 1.20 oliNex
PROTOCOL VERSION 52.26A.25.09H
I have tried to install a few apps, but failed. The "set up" files are all .XML and seem to open up in my browser????

I think you didn't notice the .xml files are actually within the setup file.
The setups are .CAB files, you simply move them onto the internal storage and execute them within your mobile phone.
Have fun!
Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
Not sure what I am doing here?
I transfered the programs to the internal storage (my docs). However, there is no .cab file.
When I click on the program file, it either shows me a blank screen with the program name at the top or other folders e.g. open sensors or open GLES.
The programs I am trying to install are:
air horn
Diamond beer
htorch
WiFi monster
Many Thanks

When you download a program for example Diamond Beer (http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-diamond-beer.html)
You will download a file called DiamondBeer2Installer-v0_1.cab
That is a CAB file. When you see that you copy it to the internal storage and run it from your mobile phone.
But sometimes (usually when it's made by real developers) you get a executable. Those are either to be run from your pc and with ur mobile phone hooked up using activesync. Or if it gives you an error when trying to execute it from your pc then most likely it's telling you that you aren't running windows mobile (means you're not running it from your mobile phone while you're supposed to), then it's the program itself (the actual and final .exe) and you will have to make a directory on your internal storage yourself and copy the .exe in there (No automated installation involved).
Sorry for the long and maybe senseless story but it's late here and I'm in a hurry.
Enjoy
Hello again and thanks for your patience!
I have downloaded said file. I used winzip to extract, then cut and paste the folder in my "internal storage" on my device.
Inside there are three folders:
_setup (which is the .xml file I was talking about earlier)
Diamon~1.000
Diamon~10001
When I click on the setup file, me device just goes to IE:
file:/internal%20storage/DiamonBeer2Installer-v_1/_setup.xml

You may have to edit this file in \windows : HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml
0409 (english) is your language code, other languages have different codes.
Ensure that your city (and corresponding codes, available from accuweather website) is in the list.
Hi,
As this topic is here, let me ask my trouble here;
I have WM6.5 w/ Manila2D, I have lost my selected cities from weather widget in Manila.
I can not add any city, even if all city lists exists and I am able to select. But it does not display weather widget screen..
This also happened before when I have had another Rom and Softreset is not useful at all..
Anyone has such trouble?
Anyone has resolution?

Unfortunatelly, dealing (renaming, deleting, moving) with such file is impossible although while TFlo is not active..
Tried w/ Resco and extended File explorer (not seeing/showing), Total commander sees but not executes any command except copying..
Doing thru laptop with vista also sucks due to not showing windows files..

I'm not sure why.. but I have renamed mine. The file should not be protected. It's not in ROM.
Try this.. disable TF ->> use TC, properties - uncheck "system" - rename.
It is Rom file..
Not possible to uncheck any box overthere..
Not possible to handle..
Hi all
Same problem here!
Here is what I have done so far
1. Copied HH_409 bla bla file to pc.
2. Edited file with correct data from accuweather.
3. Using total comander removed the read only state from the original file in /windows directory.
4. replaced standard 409 with my version.
5. soft reset
and........ I can choose the cities from the list now but they will not update.
So now I am stuck
if any of you (azahidi ;-) have managed to crack this problem please help me get further.
If you want to try one of my cities to ensure that it is not me doing it wrong here is the line from the xml for one city
Code:
<city name="Newquay, UK" loca="EUR|UK|UK125|Newquay" land="United Kingdom"/>

I am not sure why, but I can add and update any city in the list, including many in the UK (e.g. Newbury, newport, newham, newcastle-under-lyme but unfortunately newquay is not). I'll try to add newquay in xml file and see what happens.. I'll post the result later.
btw can you try and do item #8 of first post and see.
This thread here may also be useful http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=476167&highlight=weather&page=2

and before i responded, i did read your threads. and again, my questions still stand. i need your help, plese answer my questions. i'd apprecite it a lot.
you wont brick a phone from instsalling a skin or some software, al lthat might do is a hard reset to restore it to factory settings if it corrupts the system

1) Ezinput is the stock keyboard which comes with HD2 and 2.1 can be downloaded here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=536215 Yes its compatible.
2)You need to install Vito Sms chat and the program files has a folder named Vito with a folder named skins.
3)Same applies with Icontact...you copy the skins in the folder and choose them from the application settings
4)Idialer is preffered to be installed in the internal memory rather than the SD card....

Download Advanced Configuration Tool for Windows Mobile here http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-advanced-configuration-tool.html
This gives you an option to custom map your hardware keys to whatever program you want.
Hope this helps.
PS: I tried the vito skin for WP7
It looks good but I still prefer my HTC Messaging client. Plus Vito SMS is too slow.
