HTC Polaris - HTC Home customization - Touch Cruise ROM Development

hello, about a month ago I bought a HTC Polaris (actually the "Find" version, sold by the Italian TIM),
I've some problem in costumizing the HTC Home, i.e. in changing from 4 to 6 tabs:
I followed the procedure posted in (2nd trick):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355277
but I realised that all the modifications I make to the order of Tabsetting have no effect at all,
moreover, I can see just 5 tabs, not the music tab!
help! any idea?
thanks, Ste

Just try this prog: http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html
You can customize your Home Plugin very easy with that.

the switch from 4 to 6 tabs should be easily obtained just by
adding the Tabsetting string, whitout the need to install anything...
I wonder why this doesn't work on my mobile

i had a simillar problem with aserg's wwe rom.
the only difference was that i couldn't see the contacts tab.
I had to install the latest HTC Home version to use all 6 tabs.
hope this helps.

many thanks!
just in case, to revert back to my original HTC Home I have to unistall the new version with "program uninstall"?
or I have to backup my device first?
Ste

I dont know, but i think, only hardreset is possible to "uninstall" this version...

mmm, I also wonder why on my HTC the order of the tabs
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
doens't matter at all...
Moreover, even if I remove some tabs, I always get 5 tabs (without the music one), maybe everything is embedded in the ROM, and cannot be changed?
However, before to insert the Tabsetting string and delete the Quickdial one,
I had only 4 tabs!

I download the 6 tab version and, without intalling it, I checked file by file
the differences between the CAB files and those installed in the phone:
the file are the same, and also the registry keys,
however the files on the phone are newer
(e.g. HTCHome.dll ver. is 2.10.1813.2022)
The funny stuff is that in the \Program Files\HTC Home\ directory, the
icons for the Music Player are there! So it seems that the version installed
foreseen the possibility to have a music tab...
I know, I will go crazy with that...

htc home customizer not working

Hi,
I've installed HTC Home customizer v1.0 beta 5 but when trying to run it I get an error, IndexOutOfRangeException for homecust.exe
has anyone managed to get this working on the original ROM?
and yes I did do a soft reset after the installation
I think that you have to install a newer version of HTC Home. HTC Home Customizer does not work with default HTC Home.
1. Remove HTC_Home_PPC_Blue from Remove programs if is there. If not, go to step 2.
2. Install sdkcerts.cab
3. Install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.cab
4. Install Backlight bug fix.cab
5. Install HHCv10b5.cab
Download HTC Home plugin fix pack
Thanks panosha !
What is new in the kaiser home compared to the polaris one? If i dont want to change the look of the plugin, is the upgrade needed/adviced?
Thanks! Finally it works
Thanks Panosha,
Having spent some fruitless hours on trying to get the customizer working, it really works now!

The name of the file does not mean nothing. Use it if you want to customize the plugin.

How to uninstall Opera 9.5 Build 2745

Hi Community,
I installed Opera 9.5 Build 2745 Cab from a Touch HD on my Xperia.
Because there is a bug with the keyboard, you can only type one letter in a textbox and after that it will deselect that box, I want to get rid of it.
My problem is I can't remove this version via System -> Remove programs.
It's just not listet there. I already tried do install/uninstall an official beta of Opera.
This only helped me as far as an Opera was listet but it only removed the official beta.
Anyone a suggestions what I could do?
thanks in advance

why dont you run the stock Opera from the Windows folder? that in theory will install the default X1 version and replace the one from Touch HD.

Just go to your windows directory in the root of your phone memory there you will find a .cab of the stock opera
Thank you for your reply, byt there is no an Opera cab there...
- Some people here have had the same problem. I think they all did a hard-reset (everything will be gone afterwards).
-> If you do a hard-reset, you can update your ROM while your at it. The new official ROMs have a better Opera version built in (9.5 build 2532, but way better than the original one, scrolling works with the optical joystick now, faster, better landscape support etc...)
My problem is that in my custom rom (Touch-It Experience v.3.01) I have Opera 9.5 Build 2532, but I cannot change with AEKmap to the GREEK layout. Is not working. I can write only English...
Perhaps, should I take the: Opera.exe and OperaL.exe from the cab of Build 2520 (which is working with AEKmap - Greek well, but there is no scrolling which I DO want!) and overite the ones of the 2532?
Or vice versa?
Do you think that I will solve the problem?
Thank you!
I searched and searched...and I didn't found a solution.
Is there now a way to uninstall opera when it's not listed in the program list? It's driving me crazy!

Reinstalling doesn't work
When I try to do this, it say's something like "opera software asa opera 9.5 cannot be removed"
Did you just try to install on top of the current version, without uninstalling it?
I think this version is in some custom ROMs. The bug was definately the same and installing the version I linked to on top of the previous version always did the trick for me. But perhaps it depends on the ROM
Maybe it's because Opera mobile is my standard browser?
Could this be the reason why I can't re/uninstall it?
Another option is to try SKT Tools. You can kill opera.exe and I found several posts here and on PPCGeeks stating that it worked.
I tried it with the stock opera on my Sprint TP, and it worked (I do not even remember what the original version was). First time I got the same message (cannot delete...). But once I stopped the opera.exe from running, it worked just fine.
Hope this helps.

Windows Marketplace

Here is the cab that is downloaded when you first connect to the marketplace. Hopefully all the chefs can integrate it in.
edit// For those that have a ROM that did NOT come with the marketplace (stock roms for the most part) you will need to create a shortcut to \windows\WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe.

This is work on my WM 6.5 in ELFIN. But this is missing the path icon. I need to find out the exe file on window folder to run.
It does not work on my Energy ROM WM 6.5 (23016) NRGZ28..
It says:
We encountered an error trying to reach the windows marketplace server.
Would you try again?
Anyone got the same issue?

Yes having the same issue on athine´s build 23047 and on my Toshiba TG01 with stock rom!
I have read somewhere that maybe the problem is localization of the software:
I live in Italy and an italian winmo blog says:
To make it work on italian ROM's you have to change "WMMBootstrap.exe.0409.mui" into "WMMBootstrap.exe.0410.mui" in windows folder
But it does not work for me,
probably because i have Energy's ROM.
Got it working!
But I have a small problem...
I have WM 6.5 English version but I filled in my windows live information all no problem but my marketplace is in Dutch (I live in the Netherlands but I would like to have the US version because now I only have 5 aps)
Anyone who has any idea how to change region?
Thanks a lot
Works fine on my WM6.1 HTC Stock Rom..... not much to see there yet though.....

Well, I read somewhere else apps were "flooding" in, but I haven't seen it. Got it working early last night on my stock 6.1 rom (damn CDMA) and right now I see the same apps. Then again, I'm only searching free. I'm a cheap bastard.
I also can't get it to work on my phone. Something with the ROM I have (EnergyROM Photon latest) that caused it to break. It worked on his ROM from 10.02.2009 but not this one.
Thanks gehzumteufel, it works great!
I'm on a stock VZW 6.1 ROM. It didn't automatically create a shortcut in my "Program files" list, so I just created a shortcut (with Resco Explorer) from the /windows folder. The .exe is called: "WMMarketplaceFullClient.exe" in case anyone doesn't see it.
Ahh well I wasn't aware it didn't create any shortcuts. The ROM I run already has the regular marketplace stuff installed so this just replaces what's there. Good to know. Will add to first post.

Pardon my ignorance, put what folder to you place a shortcut in to get the program to show up in the Program Files list? I tried creating a new directory under the Program Files folder and a shortcut in that directory but it didn't add it to the Program Files list.
thx.

Same here English 6.5, Regional settings set to "English UK" marketplace appears in Greek and has only 3 applications. Changed time to London UK no change in marketplace.
Any ideas for a fix?
I am pretty sure the marketplace has a check routine to figure out what operator you're on and then uses that to check against what region.

Yeah this new 10.07 ROM marketplace works on. w00t back to goodness.
Also I just noticed a lot more apps than on Monday.

Manila Vesion

Hi
I can't find my manila version.
I know that i have to go, in touch flo 3d navigate to the Settings tab, and scroll down to ABOUT. But the "about" button take me to the Opera Browser: file://localhost/windows/manila_about.html , and there is nothing to know about the version.
Thanks

What ROM are you running? It would be the manila version native to your ROM.

Hi
This is very strange!

My ROM version is: 2.16.410.1 PTG
Second:
koen-ronse

Works in every rom
I went there, and I just have in the Device info: Version; Hardware; Identity; Duracion.
I really apreciate the help from you both!

That ROM came stock with manila 2.1, not sure what the build# is though
So my Manila Bruce, probably is the 2.1..
Right?
Yes, it would have to be.
Once again Bruce Inman, thanks.
I have oyher question, and sorry if it's a silly one but I really don't know the solution!
I looked for Manila 2.1 themes, and it was difficult to find some of them, but i found one that it was nice ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563451 ), i downloaded the "Boost Manila 2.1.zip ", installed the .cab file but and nothing! I mean, it wasn't at the Today opcion in the Settings tab..
I don't know what am I doing wrong, if the file that I downloaded was not the best one, if it's not correct one for my HTC..
Sorry for bad english!

First, the file you downloaded was for the Diamond, not the TD2, therefore it is incompatable.
Second, go here to post 5. These are the different versions of the Manila theme. There are many because each new build of Manila tweaks the home layout, so they are always slightly different.
Lastly, remember Max Manila is a Manila theme, not a windows theme, so next you need to find a windows theme if you want to. I use Dusk themes because I like the black bars. Dusk themes are ROM build dependent so look for your build number, if you don't see it, use the newest build available. This is the one that loads to your Today Settings and you must select it to display. There are also Dusk Clocks and Taskbar icons in that thread as well.
If you scoll through the Topaz Themes and Apps threads, you will find more themes and most will have full instructions on how to install.
Good Luck.

Thanks for the help, for all the time you expended.
I'm scared now, when i started to look for themes, i never thought that could be so dificult!
I'll try!
