Hey Everyone,
I just installed home customizer and customized my today screen just fine. However, I was messing with the items you can put under the launcher tab and I removed the Wireless Manager shortcut one. I looked at the list I can choose from to add it back, and its not there. How do I get it back?
Thanks for any help!

Takman, I have the same problem, and have been searching for the answer off and on for a month now. It seems like no matter where I copy/paste a shortcut, I can't get it back on the Launcher. Did you ever figure it out?

Can this be changed
IE can i remove the weather option from the list of 5 that sit below the time and email etc?
can this section be adjusted at all?
You can use the HTC Home Customizer to customize the HTC Home Plugin. You can get more info from the forum by searching or check out the HTC Home Customizer's website at http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html.
You can also just goto (on your Kaiser):
Settings>Today>Items
You should see a third tab on the bottom called "HTC Home". Click on that and you can check/uncheck each option (e.g., Launcher, Weather, etc).
Good luck.
ok thanks guys i have activated the htc home option as the 3rd tab int he settings options
but is there a CAB file that will allow me to add in my own custom tab instead of say music for example
i would like to add tasks or something like that
From what I've read you can't customize the HTC Home with what you're asking. If you need something like that you should look into SPB Software as they have a more configurable home screen/launcher/etc.
how do i activate the 3rd tab in Settings> Today ?

If you don't have the third tab then HTC Home is built in and can't be removed without a reg edit (like Sleuth's Rom I think). All you can do is switch the HTC Home plug-in on or off.
you most likely have the old version of the plugin which does not have the third tab. uninstall it and install the one in the link i am posting which is remade to work on wm6 and have the third tab option. but you cant make your own tabs, but you do have option to remove tabs.
1. uninstall the old one.
2. soft reset
3. install new one.
4. soft reset again.

Thanks for your help guys.
i have a quick question:
i recently installed the htc home 6 button screen, and the htc home customizer
on the program launcher window there originally was an icon that takes me to the comm manager/wireless manager but i removed in an effort to re-arrange the buttons. but now i cant find it in the list of apps to add.
would it be possible for someone to direct me on how to get it back? thanks.

When you remove an icon from the launcher, there should be an empty space with a circle with a cross in it. Pressing that, should bring up thelist of apps you're talking about. On my device, it is just a few scrolling lines down.
Have you tried just typing "Comm Manager" in the top bar and press select?
unfortunately no luck on the typing in and hitting select. it just goes to the closest match in my case "contacts"
It was originally one of the first six or so items in the selection menu, if its not there i dont know where it would be.
I want the same thing, to add the Comm Manager to one of the launcher buttons, rather than trying to tap the connection icon at the top of the screen.
i use pocket toolman 2 which places a icon in the system tray with a host of other icons you can select. its quick, easy, and free... good app

I am not 100% sure which one but either Schaps advanced config or KaiserTweak one of those two things have option to enable wireless thingy on today screen. It shows your current wifi and bluetooth connections and clicking takes you to connection manager. I would first try KaiserTweak.

Worked out how to do it earlier.
Browse to the windows folder and make sure you've got all files visible.
Look for the executable CommManager.exe, right click on it, select copy.
Browse to windows\Start Menu\Programs\Tools right click, select paste shortcut.
Right click and rename the new short cut from, "Shortcut to CommManager.exe" to CommManager
Then it will be visible in the list of applications you can add to your shortcut buttons on the HTC homescreen. You can use the same method for any other applications you want on the launcher if they're not available automatically.
(I pasted the shortcut where I thought it most appropriate on the start menu).
thanks 6thElement. that shortcut worked.
thanks TimeSaver. i used KaiserTweak to enable wireless on the today screen initially.
This trick did not work for me. I have the Dutty WM6.1 Diamond ROM.
I need to put the Connection Manager on the Today screen, so that it can show me what am I connected to, but it does not show up in the Today item list.
I created a Registry key for iy in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items and it showed up in the list, but still does not work, brobably because I am linking to the wrong DLL.
May someone, who has the CommManaget on their Today screen see what are the correct Registry entries in HKLM\Softwate\Microsoft\Today\Items for the Comm Manager and post here?
never mind my previous post - I found that what I was looking for was called "wireless" and can be added through the Kaiser tweak....
Hello,
I bought Kaiser in Poland and got it with a different today screen. What do I have to install to have that black today screen that you all have with weather forecast? I have already installed HTC.Kaiser.Home.Eng.0409.5Tab.schen.cab but it didn't do anything. I don't see any new programs or new settings.
I suggest to install another ROM on your kaiser. But it's a bit tricky to do it. If you do it wrong, you'll mess up your phone.
OK, so it's not an application like Spb Mobile Shell? Installing cab files won't do anything, right?
Did you enable htc home after instaling it? Go to settings, personal, today. From there goto the "items" tab and put a check mark next to htc home.
Cheers
What is that today plugin you are using called?

I didn't know about these settings. I have two new entries: HTC Home and HTCHomeplug and when I enabled the second one I have four new icons on the today screen standing at the top left corner: battery, rotating screen, vibrations and brightness. It is not what I want but it is some success

I think Orange. When I disabled it the icons on the left disappeared.
and I don't mean with registry editting, but it actually places an extra tab somewhere in the Today options in settings and lets you sort and enable/disable tabs. which version is that?
thanks...
you can edit the order by looking in the htc home plug in the registry, you change 1,2,3,4,5,6 to a different order, or remove a number to remove a tab.
You can do it on any version of Home Plug.

i am aware of that, but I'm looking for the version that doesn't require you to edit the registry. I had it before I did a hard reset!

i am aware of HHC, but it's not it.
oh well. it'll do i guess.
Ahh. I think you are talking about the tab in Today => Settings. Try the HTC HOME Plugin.
i found it.... installed HHC and it came with it too.
sweet!
do you mean the media tab ??

no, it's a tab in the Today screen customization menu in Settings.
So my home screen changed what can I do to fix it? when I tap home it goes to a different screen than it use to. I went into edit and tried to move them around to get the screen I had back to home but did not work. I have a icon on the bottom of one of the screens while in edit that looks like the home button and it stays on that screen no matter what I do. I moved that screen everywhere to far left to far right but it still stays as my home screen. I want my old home screen back Help me please.
I hope I have explained this correctly.....
What launcher are to using?
I am using what ever came on the phone I have not added a launcher
I do not use touch wiz. That is stock. I use launcher pro. Read this, maybe it will shed light
http://androidforums.com/captivate-...64-how-do-you-change-default-home-screen.html
I found that and read it while searching google for help but it did not help me I really did not want to add another launcher to the phone if I don't have to. And I tried all those things.
Thanks
From home, menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications
Now you may need to hit menu -> filter and select All if you are using the stock launcher TwLauncher.
Find the current launcher select "Clear defaults". The next time you hit home it will prompt you to select a default again.
Thanks this is what I was looking for are to a tech person for this phone or what? I have search everywhere for an answer and have found nothing that is correct. I need your contact info in case I have other question or problems about the phone.
Thanks Again!
No just got my captivate in december. Have a tech background actually with blackberry. If you get stuck again just post here again, there are many helpful forum users.
