hello,
i have installed the HTC home plugin and at first there were only 5 tabs. then for some reason another one appeared.
but thats not really the problem i gues. what i really want is to juust have 3 tabs. anyone know how to do that?????
This is from the HTC Polaris tweaks and tricks thread by Mahmood:
2. Use 6 Tabs with htc home :
You need to edit your registry to get our music tab back,
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
Add new string,
Tabsetting = 1,2,3,4,5,6
You can change the order of the numbers to sort the tabs how you like
1 = Clock tab
2 = Favorite People tab
3 = Weather tab
4 = Launcher tab
5 = Music tab
6 = Profiles tab
refresh the htc home to get the tabs u can do it by unchecking the today contacts and then checking it and it will refresh and
people who missed the favorites home tab delete this registry key :
HKLM\Software\OEM\MASD\Quickdial
delete it and refresh that's all and u will get all the 6 tabs !!

Click to collapse
Using this formula, you can also remove unwanted tabs by simply not putting them in the Tabsetting string.
if you are using the newer versions of htc home
settings->personal->today->htc home
registry edit
how do i get to the registry bit to edit it????
Install a registry editor on your PC or on your device (http://www.phm.lu/Products/PocketPC/RegEdit/)
Then you can edit it
Cheers

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.

Hi
The TF3D programs tab has increased the number of icons with a + sign at the bottom of the usual 18 but if I click to add nothing happens and now when you scroll down you get a load of usless icons rather than the programs.
I have tried to remove the tab with TF3D config and then reinstall but this did not resolve the problem.
Does anyone have ideas how to remove them?

That worked a treat, many thanks
even with the HHC my HTC Home would only show 4 icons - with 5 selected in HHC. so I installed a file I found online called HTChome6.cab - now I have 6 "tabs" and even with one of them "unselected" in HHC it still shows all 6.
what do I have to do to have the following "tabs":
home, contacts, weather, launcher, profiles
??
thanks.
btw, I checked the registry for Tabsetting and the value is 1,2,4,3,6 (which is what I want) but it still displays all six tabs.
Tabs
In the settings of the HHC you can adjust the amount of tabs available- the profiles opne is the one that you have to activate.
I found that the 5 locked icons (Home, Activesync, Contacts, Calendar, Settings) in the new Manila's Start Menu can be unlocked with some registry settings:
e.g.
For the HOME button:
Change the following value
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Program Launcher\0\IsReadOnly\1 <--(DWORD Data, Dec)
from 1 to 0 will do.
The same apply to the other 4 locked buttons.
Nice finding! And it works!
All you have to change in HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\ProgramLauncher\...:
0 = Home
1 = People
2 = Calendar
3 = Settings
4 = ActiveSync
confirm working as well. change the registry, and soft reset. now i am able to remove all that locked icon and put all of my most used icons in the start menu. really great finding. thanks stephencwl.

Excellent Stephen. Putting this to great use!
I figured out you can actually add some more icons by creating some more entries in the same location
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Program Launcher\XX\.....
where XX=23, 24, ..........
You have to copy the registry items in other original icons (e.g. XX=22) to the newly created XX locations.
However, I can see some newly created empty icons, but after trying to add programs to stick with it, it fail. The icons is still empty.
There should be some workaround somewhere else.

Hi guys. I'm new here and I'm not an expert. I've just bought an HTC TOUCH HD Blackstone. I'm trying to increase the numbers of icons in the program launcher. I succeded it but the new icons dosn't work because it's impossible to add any program. I've tried to follow your suggestions without any success, probably because I've not understood exactely what to do. Could help me?
Thank in advance.

By default the number of shortcuts is 18. It only shows 9 but you can scroll up to see the other 9.
Only this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=482763
You dont increase the number of programs in program tab, you ad another brogram tab with unlimited number of programs. (If you dont want to have 2 program tabs you can always hide the original). But to add or remove programs you have to do it with notepad from an xml file. I have both of them. Look the photo
I have another problem with the program tab :-(!
I fill the 18 tabs with my favorite programs but then i got on the screen more than 18 tabs. The new tabs I cannot use for more programs, they only are there without a function.
How can I delete these (now maybe 5 more) tabs???
Thx!
If you had read the link i gave, you would see this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3555764&postcount=25 which describe how to solve this...
