Hi folks
Last night my HTC TyTN II ran out of power. When I had recharged it and started the device up again, I had lost the HTC Homescreen plugin. I've been unsuccessfull in getting it back, even after rebooting the device. The plugin is no longer listed under the Today settings screen either
Has anyone else experienced this and most importantly how can I get this back?
Thanks for your interest

you may try the usual paths: hard-reset, and if not, install the cab again. it is floating around, you should find it.
did you try any of these?
I would only do a hard reset as a last result, and if then, maybe even just go for a different ROM.
Do you know where to find this .cab file? I found something in these forums but it seems to be related to the Hermes phones
Thanks again
Wohoo!! I finally got it back
In case someone else gets the same problem, I used "!!!FIXED HTC Kaiser 6 button Home Plugin by schen" found at:

i have did a hard reset before but the issue still exists. my list of apps includes
reensoft pieplus
spb phonesuit
wisbar advance
tcmp
s2u2
spb dairy
spb insight
resco explorer
htc home customizer

htc album
bandswitch htc phone pad
memmaid
pocket rar
worldcard mobile
cyberon voice com
anyone know whats wrong?
You certainly have a few cabs installed there! Some of them still have a few bug issues if you search the Forum.
My advice is to backup your data, do a hard reset and then install your cabs one by one, using your phone for a few days between each to ensure all is OK and then you may find the culprit. I do know S2U2 has bug issues that are 'WIP'
It could be one cab or interaction between more than one causing your problem.
Hope this helps.

will try it out soon when i'm free, thanks alot mate
i find that the issues is with charing or wifi. happened a few times already. after charging the phone overnight, i wake up, turn on wifi and the whole thing just lags. applications like opening comm manager takes about 5 mins to open. every thing is affected, no choice but to soft reset the phone.
any others encountering the same issue?
I have a Kaiser too and the HTC Action Screen isn't working. Someone knows if there's a way to fix it?
Hello,
I have been a member for about 3 months or so but not been a heavy poster. (sorry about that)
anyway I have a small problem which normally gets solved by a few searchs but I don't seem to be having any luck.
I Have an Orange build kaiser (installed the today screen) and have hard reset the device a few times after encounting the same problem again and again (about to hard reset for the 4th time i belive)
back to the point, the problem seems to be a simple one in that new SMS don't appear on my today screen... weired?! and last night was the worst my phone was on charge but in standbye mode but my girlfriend couldn't connect any phone calls and when i checked my phone i had a mountain of missed calls and a bundle of txts which all came through at the same time on wake up..
(I've mentioned the fact my phone was on charge because search results suggest it was due to a 30% or less battery)
when i had the problem before I thought at 1st it was one of the many many cabs that have installed so this time i made sure i+I only had on the minumal
(forgive me but with the phone not being with me I am not sure on the names but here is the list)
HTC Home (maybe an old verison but i have tried many verisons)
HTC Home customiser (with IPHONE apps theme)
TOM TOM 6
HTC touch Keypad
A program to stop the phone connecting to the internet
A program that on start up my phone switches directly to the Keypad
Like I said used to install loads and loads of cabs but now limiting my self to a few to try and rectify the problem.
any one else had this problem? should i send it back to Orange? (I have insurance), will there be problems reinstalling TOM TOM? is one of the apps i have currently installed a problem?
any help would be much appricated and thank you in advance.
Does it exhibit this behaviour if you leave the phone in shipped condition, with NO software installed by yourself? If so, then it's faulty; if not, then install your apps one by one and test until you find what's causing it by process of elimination.
thanks for the reply...
I was going to leave it this time around with the dreaded orange home screen, was hoping someone else had a simular problem with one of the apps i have already mentioned
I'll give it a go tonight and see how it goes
thanks again for the reply
Hey guys...I just installed a couple of apps and now I have a screen flicker. When my Tilt is asleep, every 3-4 minutes the screen flashes for a split second and the screen goes back to black. I recently installed these apps:
SPB Mobile Shell 2.0
CommMgrPro 1.3.3
Zomobi
HTC Gif Animation (I think this is the one but I deleted it and it still flashes)
HTC Action Screen
Pocket Wifi Radar
Has anyone installed any one of these apps and had the same flashing screen issue?? I removed them one by one and I still have the flicker.
Anyone good with the registry and could help me figure this out would be great!!
Thanks for any help anyone can give.
Hi
Mine does the same and the only one of those apps I've got installed is HTC ActionScreen. Maybe try removing that and see if it solves it?
Let me know how you get on.
Greg
Have the same issue. Anyone knows why ? I thought I'm seeing things...
Thanks.
Very interesting! Mine has been doing it as well since I downloaded and installed the 6.1 Windows Mobile update, although never did before.
Thanks for any suggestions or input that anyone can provide.
Anyone find out how to fix this?
Is that a known problem for many Kaisers?
if not then upgrading the ROM would be the answer to getting rid of this problem right?
BTW I have no special programs installed, other than commander.
I don't have HTC Home Customizer installed.
This is from a fresh ROM update to 6.1.
The flickering issue has been resolved on my Tilt
Hello All, I tried to just remove the get ATT Navigation from the main menu and sure enough my flickering screen went away. The issue was obviously just a repeat of the same issue that used to occur with the "Get TelNav" option showing in the old 6.0 ROM's from ATT. Thanks!
thanks for replying, however I don't even have that application on my device.
I did install 6.1 without bloatware though.
hey everyone, i'm kinda new here, been reading stuff for a while but now that i got a tytn 2 (kaiser wm6.1 rom) and started mucking around with installing new programs i think i broke something
the built in wm6.1 rom that my device came with also has htc home v2.1 builtin
i manually installed htc home customizer 1.0, also tried uninstall/reinstall/reset
not sure what caused it, but now the htc home today screen section is completely blank. it takes up space but shows nothing. resetting themes, settings, soft reset, etc did not work.
i tried twice to download and install htc home 2.1 from an online download. installed on device and also on sd card, but each time i did it the device would go into an endless rebooting loop. it would reset, load up to the today screen, reset, etc etc.
so as far as uninstalling the rom htc home version, i dont think i can do it. plus the rom version seems to have a higher build number then the 2.1 version i see floating around the net.
fyi, i did have htc home and htc customizer working at some point. i used the default htcc themes. but at some point, after a software reset, poof it no longer shows
any suggestions on how to fix this?
HTC Home on WM6.1
My problem is not exactly the same as yours, but I think we're dealing with the same stuff in software and ROM.
My Tilt came from AT&T with only WM6. I had to upgrade it myself to 6.1. When I did, HTC Home came built-in, just like for you. I also downloaded HTC home customizer and installed it...at that point, everything worked fine. The problems started when I was trying to get the music tab to show up on HTC Home. So anyways, even though I already had the built-in Home, I tried to install it again from the cab file HTC Home 2.1. The installation finished, and it told me it had to restart. It did, but then went broke...like yours, my Tilt went into endless rebooting cycles.
However, I have a REALLY serious problem. Mine still won't turn on correctly. So can you tell me how to get rid of HTC Home 2.1, or whatever I need to do, so that my device will run properly again?
I think the solution for you may be to reinstall windows mobile 6.1 from a file online. (You could probably use the same one I did, except I just have to find it again...)
But at this point, I can't even do that, because my phone doesn't even get to the today screen where I can click on stuff. Activesync doesn't work either. HELP?
hard reset
i had to do a hard reset to fix the issue with the rebooting cycle.
right now i'm working on using the manila 2d today screen interface. it looks nice, works good but makes it impossible to add other plugins to the today screen.
i was using the mToday tool to switch between manila and htc home today screens but since htc home is now being a ***** i'm gonna see what i can do with manila to make it better for me.
also using pointui, flash touch flo cube and freestyl.
but if anyone has a quick fix for this htc home issue please post me somethin. i know there are better today screens out there, but simplisity is nice sometimes.
Hi guys, I have had my Xperia a few days now, it's a Vodafone that I hae flashed the Generic UK software to (without HardSPL) it seems to work ok but I am having a few problems. First of all, whether or not the phone will boot is hit and miss, it will get to the today screen and lock up as soon as the clock on the today screen loads. Hitting the reset switch under the cover will reboot it and it will generally boot fine, usually on every second boot.
Another problem I have is that Shell32.exe crashes a lot as does explorer.exe Shell32.exe seems to crash when installing and uninstalling applications, it does not always happen but it's happened a few times so far and is becoming irritating.
I am going to reinstall the firmware image and leave it a day or two without installing any apps to see if the problem is resolved. If anyone has any posible ideas I would appreciate it. Thanks.
Edit: I have renamed thread to remove the reference to boot problem with memory card inserted because after having removed the memory card the problem still persists so I gues it's unrelated.
Shell32.exe error
I also am having issue with shell32.exe crashing, the problem is repeatable everytime I go into the today screen options, as soon as I exit, regardles of which panel I went in from, shell32,exe crashes and I have to reboot the phone. Sometimes the only way to do so is to remove the battery. Any changes that I have made in the today screen do show up after the reboot. This is really annoying me now as shell32.exe is an important system process. Any thoughts, or shall I just hard reset.
R2AA
I'd make sure you're updated to the GENERIC UK R2AA ROM, if you're already on it, get a new copy of it from here, reformat your mem card and flash the phone again.
I seem to be OK now and not getting the shell32.exe crash anymore. Still having various other problems with it stopping responding (barely anything installed, and nothing really running) but not much more I can do, just learning to deal with it because i can't do with the stress of worrying about it. It's Windows, so expect it to suck.
i was on my R1A, had this problem, Hard reset it and the problem still exist...
Upgraded to the official R2AA10 and guess what? the problem is still there....
What is it that actually causing this problem? im planning on selling my X1 because this problem is so irritating....
Strange

Strangely, I stoppped having this problem a long time ago. I ran on R2A and R3A for a long time without any trouble now, I think it was due to a common program we were having installed because I use different programs than I used to and I havn't seen it happen since I last posted about having the problem.
Stick with a fresh install and see how it goes, install your apps slowly until it doesn't happen anymore.
I can't remember the exact programs I used to use but I have a feeling it was related to homescreen plugins or some such.
Let me know what programs you use maybe we can find a common denominator.

Okay, so after hard reset, i always install my program again one by one...
Strangely, the error always happen the FIRST time i install any program that uses today plugin...at first i thought it was SPB Wireless, then after another hard reset i installed Beejive, and the same error occurs...
Now mine is a little bit stable, mainly because i dont touch the today setting anymore....i (forcefully, despite the error ) installed Pocket digital clock, SPB Pocket Plus, and SPB wireless....
Its been fine for the last 2 days...without touching any of the today settings...
What is it that actually causing the problem? so strange....

Well, I never used SPB wireless when i had that problem, but i did use Beejive, Vito Sound Explorer (has a today plugin) HomeScreen++ and Wisbar Advance Desktop (saw a few crashes with this). Saw the problems a lot back then.
When I only ran Homescreen++ I never saw the problem.
I am running 6.5 now so i can't test it for you I'm afraid to find the exact problem, but I'd certainly keep hold of your Xperia because it's definately just caused by a 3rd party app/plugin.

the weird thing is, i ran all my program above for about 4 months on my R1A and no problem occurred....everything was good.
Then i tried to install SPB phone suite, but the installation stopped at 3/4 because the software wasnt signed or something like that (strange, i got it from SPB site), and it just left me some today plugin but withoun any name...it was blank....my today plugin order was in a mess too...i soft reset, it was okay....but i soft reset it again later that day and thats when the problem happened...
I found it strange that it still happens after hard reset and even after Rom change...especially to ANY program that uses today plugin....weird...
Try using R2A_10 or later, I never had any problems from then on, I'm running gtrabs R3A/6.5 atm, although it hasa bunch oof problemsof its own.
