Problem with SPB Pocket Plus and the HTC Home plugin - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

I'm currently using a trial version of PP and on one tab I've included the HTC Home plugin that came on the phone (T-Mobile Vario III).
However, when using the multi-directional pad on the phone to navigate the interface, the button in the middle of it (to select) doesn't work on the HTC Home plugin - it works on the SPB GPRS Monitor (that is on the same tab) but not on HTC Home. To select anything on the HTC Home plugin I have to physically touch the object on the display, annoying when it's in a case and I have to open it up.
Is this a bug or is something just not set up right?
Thanks for any help.

At this moment I do not have the HTC Home plugin installed, but I think I know what's the problem.
Open your registry, and navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\TODAY\ITEMS\
Now go to HTC Home, and check the value of the SELECTABILITY key.
Cause I don't have it installed at the moment, I'm not sure what value it should be, but I think you have to change it from 1 to 2.

Thanks, sadly it's already set to 2
edit: just set it to 1 to see if that was any better - it wasn't

I had all kinds of bugs with the SPB products on my Tilt. I really like them but they seem to conflict with the HTC home plugins. I took everything off of my phone except Time.

I'm running PP and solved this issue by moving the bits I need directly onto a PP tab.

Assuming I'm understanding what you're saying correctly, that's how I already have it set up
HTC Home is one of the ticked plug-ins for the tab

Try This
greg3d posted this in another thread and it worked for me:
"This may be the same issue that causes the HTC Home plugin from not being able to be used in a tab initially because it's locked (unmoveable in the Today screen ordering).
The Solution there is to change the registy as such:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home
Type=4
I suggest you browse to the same Registry directory (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\) and look for the Egress plugin and change the "Type" Dword value to 4, it's probably set to 5 (locked) by default. In the unlikely event the key is not there, try adding it.
I don't use Egress, so cannot check this out for you."

PLEASE HELP with HTC home Today Icons

Hello,
I just bought an AT&T Tilt a month ago and I know how everything works b/c my friends has one too. I installed the HTC home plugin and I love everything about it but I only have 5 icons at the bottom.
In order:
1. home, 2, weather (connection times out a lot) 3, quick launching apps, 4. music, and 5. Sound profile for putting phone on vibrate, etc.
The problem is that I really what the "Favorites, or icon to dial your friends or family". I've tried installing different versions of HTC home plugin but I can't get 6 icons on my screen. I have HTC Customizer and I told it to put 6 icons there but it won't.
I NEED HELP. IT WORKED ONCE BEFORE BUT IT DOESN'T NOW.
Does anyone else wish they had 6 icons on their htc home plugin?
No. I already have 6 tabs on my HTC Home Screen. Which version are you using??
You need to delete a string in register.
Ummm

Can you please tell me which string I need to delete?
How can I get 6 icons on my HTC Home plugin? I need directions. I have a registry editor and I know how to navigate through my files. I just need some good instructios.

Delete following registry entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
Softreset afterwards, and you should have back the 6 HTCHome tabs.
Have a nice weekend,

Wow. Thanks for that. Had the same problems and was driving me nuts cos I know it used to work.
Can you explain why that key has that effect?

Moving HTC Plus on Today Screen

I've done my hw. There is no way that I can move it up and down. Does anyone have any suggestions. I know that HHC allows to lock and unlock HTC Home, but nothing to do with HTC Plus. Anyway to move HTC Plus below HTC home on the today screen?
They all cann be unpinned. The easiest way is using SK Tools. DL the trial version, go to today plugins, tap & hold on HTC Plus, Select unpin.
Or PM me.

Yes, there is a way that you can move the home screen up and down. If you have regedit program, you can edit it. I am using Pocket Controller Pro to edit my registry.
First go to Settings, and uncheck HTC Home
...then...
Go to HK_Local_Machine
Software
Microsoft
Today
HTC Home and change "Type" to 4
Go to settings and click on HTC home again.
Moving Home module on today screen
Believe there is an option in Kaisertweak to UNLOCK HOME to do this. Have successfully moved home module/plugin to bottom of today screen.
though I do appreciate your help, my question is in regards to HTC Plus, not Home. I can move Home anywhere I want with Advanced Config, my question is about HTC Plus. Thanks again though.

HTC Home question

I've used a few roms that had a few different htc home setups. My question is, I can't seem to find the Favorite People tab in the htc home customizer. How do I get that tab? Do I need a different version of HTC Home? If HTC home came bundled with a rom, is there a way to update it? Also, how do I find out what version of HTC home I have?
I'm not sure what you have as standard, but this thread will show you how to tweak the registry to change what shows up.
Hope it helps - good luck

That was very in depth. Unfortunately, I went to regedit the portion of the HTC Home registry that corresponded with the number of tabs and the order but my registry is already edited to 1,2,3,4,5,6. So my HTC Home should be showing 6 tabs but it is only showing 5. I've used HTC Home customizer and it is showing all but the Favorites tab. No matter what tab I remove I still dont have the Favorites tab.
Can only suggest you unselect the HTC Home in the today menu, go to the registry, remove number 2. Soft reset. Back to the registry, add in 2 again. Soft reset. Select from the today menu.
If that doesnt override the customizer then you'll have to post in the ROM thread or a Customizer thread.
Best I can suggest - good luck
Backup your complete phone on your desktop/laptop and do a hard reset.
Before you install all your programs, install the HTC customizer/Home FIRST.
My Wife and I each had this problem. Apparently one of the programs interfered with the HTC Home install and we didn't have the favorite people either. If you install it FIRST; your people tab will be there.
this happened to me yesterday, this is the answer
To get the favorite people tab back, delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
then soft reset..

Profiles Manager for Diamond

Hi all,
Just bought a Diamond in replacement of my Cruise.
This Diamond is beautiful and easy to use but I have not fount a profile application to use with.
I need a profile application that can control Bluetooth, rings and notification volume in profiles like cars, home, work .....
I usually used PhoneAlarm but with the Diamond and the touchflo screen, it is not possible to add the today plugin ...
So I have tried an application called PZP and the PZP Menu software that I launch using a long press on button. this application is great but eavy and slow to load...
So I am now searching an application to manage my profiles through the TF3D (why not ..) or with a button on the task bar for example.
someone has an idea ?
regards
i have this same question and couldnt find the answer. has anyone solved this yet?

...sure: Disable the manila plugin ;-)
You could always remap a TF3D soft key to whichever profile switcher application you decide on?
I've tried PhoneAlarm in the past (http://www.pocketmax.net/phoneAlarm.html) but now use Wireless Time (http://freewareppc.com/communication/wirelesstime.shtml) which alters my profiles based on the time of day.
Don't think there is anything integrating tightly within TF3D just yet
I'm the developer of PhoneWeaver (I'll don't put the link to avoid it to be considered SPAM, but it is public that beemer=miguel). I think it is the best profiler program in the market and I can tell you as a secret that as long as I have a Diamond as my personal phone, current version works well on it and next version will be fully optimized

I haven't yet managed to find working documentation for WirelessTime. Presumably you need to keep it running and there's no minimise option. I can't work out the configurable time option under the settings that seem to defaulted to 00:10, but it looks like hourly configurable slots on the main screen. I have searched, but can't find a manual, either on PDAInfo, Google, or here. Any pointers in the right direction?
If you are still looking for a tool to manage profiles, here you have
- Profiles for Windows Mobile
I bought it a year before, and they told me I could get 2 more licenses. I have been trying to contact with them this month (in order to get my second license for the diamond), and no way.
So, in the trial version you would be able to configure and programme 2 profiles. Anyway, if you look around the web...

I have created a link to it that I put in the startup folder so it runs on every soft reset. I never have to open the program and it doesn't appear as a running program.
I've not found any docs either, but I've left the time option set at 00:10 because I wasn't sure what it did! On the main screen I've just highlighted what I want to be 'on' each hour, and repeated that for all the days in the week. Been working fine for me on this basis

Hi
At the Diamond, how you change profiles? where you connect it to?
I am using Phoneweaver I have added a button to the Phoneweaver Menu on my Programs tab and when i press that i get my profile list ... works a treat
SPB Phone Suite is nice - and if you couple it with Second Today then you can access all of the home screen plugin options for switching profiles.

Disable TouchFlo/HTCHome?

Thinking about getting one of these, but it would be more of a trial for someone else. Can someone tell me if it's possible to remove the M3D interface and go back to an HTCHome type interface? I'm sure it would install, but is there a version, or does it work on a VGA device? Please let me know if you've actually tried this, I can speculate that it would work, but I'm really not sure.
HTC Home VGA + HHC 1.0f
Of course there is, catch here
The first file is VGA version of classic HTC Home I found somewhere on this site. The second is HTC Home Customizer that allows you to enable/disable panels. Be advised there is NO music panel and direct music playback is probably not possible with this version.
Have fun

Reup
Sorry, I forgot to login to my RS account before uploading, reuploading as single file right now, I will update the links above
Downloaded and try now! Hope this would be an solution to replace the TouchFLO which might be a battery hungry!
I got rid of Touchflo as well here is a screenshot. I am still looking to change the clock the files I used to use on a Kaiser dont work anymore but HTC home works great.

Today
Here's mine, it's VERY functional and quite sexy but it's just me I like to use stylus on today and see EVERYTHING as soon as I power on the display, SPB Shell is for finger access
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2915485&postcount=45
Oh and I mapped a custom app menu from SPB Shell under long press of the Home button, it's loaded with ~11 apps I use the most to squeeze last bits of usability out of that baby
Hi, i can't get HTC Home Customizer to work for me. No matter what changes i make in it, when i go to apply them it always gives me the error: "An error occured copying your selected 'whatever'. The program will now continue." None of the changes are ever applied.
Any ideas what's wrong?
