Hi all,
I have an o2 xda mini-s and yesterday saw a mate who has one which was running HTC Home and looked really smart.
I have spent the morning reading the forum and other articles but although I have downloaded the HTC Home configeration programme and can set that I dont have the HTC Home option on the Program - settings - today - item page.
I am using wm5 if that helps everything i downloaded went to the device and default location was that the right thing to do?
If anyone can help me will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Paul
There are two files you need to download and install if you want to have HTC Home - and customize the home view.
There is the HTC Home, and the HTC Customizer cabs - did you install both ??
Hi Bill,
So far I have downloaded hhcv10final.cab and also htchome6.cab are their any other files i need?
Paul
I think the problem may be the WM6 file you downloaded
I've posted a link to the site where the version for WM5 can be downloaded. I've had no issues running this version
The only other thing I can think of is did you soft reset after installation ??
Here's the link - give the 1.5 version for wm5 a shot
Good luck

Is the backlight fix working fultotop? I'm asking because a while ago I tested that version of the Home Plugin and the backlight fix that was in the same thread wasn't working
Yes the backlight button works for the herald, as I changed the cab to use the correct dll file. I tested it on my own P4350.
Holy crap, the weather actually works on my device with this!
You're my hero!
weather still doesn't work
I'm using the proxy and I still don't get the weather to update. It works fine when I'm connected to the wifi.
The program is partially established in \htchome, and it is possible to make that it completely was in \windows?
@Aserg
You can either cook it into a new rom or just copy the HTCHome.dll into the windows folder, and move the contents of HTCHome into the windows folder on an existing installation.
Thanks!
I've updated the package to look for the original HTCUtil.dll as I didn't want an copy of HTCUtil.dll under the name of HTCUtil1.dll. I not included the original HTCUtil.dll it's in \OEM\OEMAPPS this way the package should work on any device with original HTCUtil.dll installed.
My thanks goto schen for the work done on the original cab.
ne1 else
is ne1 else have the issue that after u do an update it says (null) instead of high and low?

I have a vodafone branded P4350
Thank's,,,,Ray.
As far as I know it doesn't work with WM5, but vodafone have released WM6 upgrade read here.
It worked but it changed my icon color
I was using the HERALD_WM6.0_4.17.07.15.PV.ROM and after installing this, it changed the colors of my HOME, People, Weather, Music, App icon to the standard flat gray color..(smile) Well at least the weather now works,, but I did like the added color in the Rom...
HTC home
Hi I've installed HTC home. THe only thing is working is the big clock. It's not possible to add any favourite person or activate the weather watcher or any other section. Any idea about the reason why?

That thingy there will let you customize it any way you had it before.
Forgive the noobtivity, but does this 'fix' the weather app? My weather worked the first time I used it, but now it is always attempting to connect, to no avail.
Can I install this on the stock T-Mo Wing? Or rather, did anyone else with an unmodded wing get this to work. I installed it, it came up all nice and purty, but when I went to try and change the setting it locked my wing up tight. Had to soft reset and then wouldn't re-load after the boot. Had to uninstall it.
Yay!!! I'm not alone

I am experiencing the exact same issue. The weather worked for me a few times but it seemed buggy...now nothing. Any help would be appreciated
Edit....done alot of reading ... questions as follows 1. Where can i find original htcutil.dll on my device (tmo wing) 2. how can i get this to work with an OEM type installation(HTC home in windows dir)
I have searched the forums until my eyes bleed, I have downloaded and downloaded but still it does not work.
Does anyone have HTC Home Plugin cab files for the following?
MDA Vario/Wizard running WM6
I have managed to get the HTC Home Plug-in to appear in the Today Options screen and I have installed the HTC HomePlug-in customizer and run it but still nothing appears on my Today screen.
If anyone has managed to get the HTC Home Plug-in running on a Wizard with WM6 then please point me at the files I need.
Many thanks in advance.
Mick

Yep, duff link. Could you please send me another link to the pulgin and a compatible HTC Plugin customizer. (Could you post the file here please, at work and Rapid Share is blocked)
Many thanks for your help

I am not sure but I remember I picked up somewhere here that the home plugin does not work properly if installed as cab rather than included in the ROM.
You may check it.
Cheers!

Hi,
if i right know, give's 2 versions: light witout HTC-programs and a professional version within HTC-programs. (so i found this 2 versions for german WM6)
May be, that you need the WM6 professional version with integrated HTC-tool-programs.

Hello
I reverted to WM5 by using this ROM:

Works great. Thanks for your help everybody.

Just use the HTC Home that is version 1.5, it works on WM5 and WM6. I installed it on my device using the cab, and modded it no prob. I run the Jag rom and have no issues. HTC Home above 1.5 don't always play nice unless they are cooked into the rom.
HTC Home v1.5
where can i get it for download?
greetings Frank
v1.5 also not works/displayed
i have found it and install the HTC home v1.5 on my device.
But it's also not work: clear scren, were the HTC home-screen should be to displayed...
i capitulate...
HTC Home for Wizard
Here try this one and make sure you uninstall any other version you have and have soft reset before installing
I also tried to attach the Home customiser but it kept failing so i have uploaded it to rapidshare
http://rapidshare.com/files/86916021/HHCv08b_1_.cab
it's work!
scousemartin, great thanks!
The HTC Home plugin now works! I be so happy...
What was my error by all the other versions and installations?
I think it's was partially not compatible to WM5 or the installations was incompletely. So i install in the last an older configurator...
I don't know, what was the error...
Gives ther some tips for setting other funktions for the icons, so i can to determine all open programs by one klick in the HTC Home Plugin?
over again great thanks to scousemartin!
PS:
one other question above HTC Home plugin:
In the top on left the screen shows the provider-network. So by me it's Vodafone.de.
If i power up my device (i'm at home), so it's show shortly "vodafone.de" and than for under one second "home" and than again permanently "vodafone.de".
I think, if i be in my homezone "vodafone at home" the HTC home-plugin is shortly signaled "home" by power up the device. If it right, that the HTC home-Plugin can show the "home-zone", so is the signalisation to short.
Give's ther an trick to show the Signalisation of "home-zone" permanently or that the plugin can showes it by permanently switch the displaying between Network-provider and signaled "home" or a other way to display the homezone if i be in my homezone?
Thanks for inside informations!
Frank
That was the only one i could get to work for the wizard to,glad you are happy, as for a task manager ,to show you all running programs, just add it to the program tab of htc home and then you can just click it to show up all running programs, or install Battstatus, that has a task manager built into it ,or use x-button
"home" signalisation included?
Thanks, i will test the programs or plugins for end all open programs by on click in the next time.
but... what is with the signalisation "home"? It is right, that HTC home can display the homezone (only very shortly) or it is a false interpretation, that is was short displayed "home" by power on the device (if i be in my homezone)?
Gives there an option, that it can displayed a longer time as under one second?
additionaly:
Oh, "home" was not by each swith-on displayed! Is my device longer time switched off (standby), than showes "home", if i switch from on to off and afresh on (also from the second switch-on).
Frank
Edit: I posted in the wrong section. my mistake.
Can v1.5 be installed if v1.0 is in the ROM?
This looks interesting. I'm running Octaivoi v6 which has a built-in HTC Home. I assume it's v1 although I don't really know.
Do you think there is a way to switch to v1.5? There is no way to uninstall the HTC Home from the ROM, of course...
Many thanks, man!

a experiment:
go into the registry: HKLM-SOFTWARE-HTC and delete the entry HTCHome. Make sure, that you have make a registry-backup, before you delete the entry.
Make a softreset.
If now the HTCHome-display not shows, look to start-settings-home-elements whether there still the entry "HTC Home".
If not, so test the setup of HTCHome 1.5, if the setup can now overwrite the older files or if it got an error-message.
May be, that you must have the extracted files and copy it manualy.
How i said: It's an experiment! May be that it works, may be, that it not works...
If the newer files not can be to copying, than restore the registry, so that the older HTCHome-Plugin again can works.

Hi there, Can anyone help me out.. i got the HTC TYTN II from ORANGE - UK and they have installed their own HOME PAGE which is CRAP. How do i get the original HTC Homepage Back. Any advise will be appreciated.
Thanks for your help.

Same problem! Why mess with the HTC Home one and put in an Orange-branded one that's inferior?
Someone out there must know?
Goto Settings -> Personal -> Today -> Items and deactivate the Orange Item, that's it.
Cheers xtin.
What I'm really looking for is the HTC Home application(?) where favourites, weather, etc. are all located. Can't find this on Orange-branded phone.
Hi dude, look in the thread titled all HTC applications, I think it is a sticky on here!
Download the cabs to you pc then put them on the phone and install them
I hope this helps
Spot on, cheers mate.
I'll search the 'stickys' properly myself next time as I progress from virgin noobie...
Sorry to be a bit dim but I cannot find the HTC apps sticky, any chance of a link or the download posted here
many thanks
Close this thread and look up. It is titled:
Sticky: Collection of the Latest Cabs for kaisers [updating 05.02.08]
Good luck.
i know this sounds a stupid question, but which cabs do i need? sorry for being dim!
G
HTC Home Plug v1.6 [eng] from the Sticky: "All the Latest HTC Software - in one post"
Anyone else who was a complete noob at this like me, dont unzip and copy files to phone then look for a .cab file. just copy the zip file and run that on the phone. Took me hours to work that out.
right i have just got my phone and i hate the software
is ther much i can get for this
i hate the orange home screen can i get the htc one
can the tom tom sat nav software been downloaded any where or do i have to buy tht ?
also is the slide to unlock aplle i phone software available
i am new here so any help would be gratefull
thanks aaron
1.i hate the orange home screen can i get the htc one
2.can the tom tom sat nav software been downloaded any where or do i have to buy tht ?
3.also is the slide to unlock aplle i phone software available

1. Yes, look in these forums for the HTC stuff, think its a sticky. Just cabs you install to get the htc today theme and HTC Home etc.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344544
2. Not going to answer that one
3. Search using google for S2u2. That is the slide to unlock app that is freeware for your device. It works well on my TyTN2.
thank u for ur super fast answer
ill start with number one and work my way down thn
where are u from ?
is urs a orange tytn II as well
Kent in the UK and yes mine is an orange provided one, although the ROM is now the HTC one and unlocked with my O2 sim in it.
right i dl the aplication but where do i put it on the phone
which app are you referring too ?? the HTC Home or the S2U2 ?
I believe both are .cab files, so you would need to setup an activesync connection onto your pc with your phone, then you can explorer your phones disk and copy it from pc onto the phone (somewhere like my documents). Once the .cab files are installed on the actual phone, using the phone goto the file explorer program, navigate to where you put the files and click on the respective one once.. it should trigger off the install of the relevant software. follow instructions on screen and then they should be installed.
HTC Home is a Today plugin which you can access from Settings/Today/Items. S2u2 is accessible to configure from the Settings (can't remember if it was personal or System tab) but you should get a s2u2 folder in one of them. you can go into that and run the app to set it up..
Its worth mentioning I find it useful to do a restart of the phone after installing apps to make sure all these links appear.
p.s if your phone borks because you isntall these I take no responsibility
cool just got the htc home to work
looks so much better than the orange one
right time to work on the next one
i have had a good look on this forum
and wanted to know how i can edit the htc home screen
i wanted to change the icons to the ipone ones
im sure there was a programme i can use for tht
also the s2u2 i have read bits on it not working very well
just wondered if its all fixed now ?
s2u2 was pretty stable on mine when I used it (removed it as it blocked my SPB time alarms I set).
to customise HTC Home you need, HTC Home Customizer. Just google and you will find it.
that is a good programme the htc customizer
any others people would suggest ?
i have been looking for tht background they have on the ipone
the fish in the water one
It's been a few months since I have been to this forum and it looks like there are lots of cool new programs and a new device (the diamond) that has provided some new cabs. I had gotten a lot of great cabs and tips here from last September through Spring but have not really added much to my phone since then. I had Ultimate Launcher with HTC Home as one of the cube faces and I really loved it. Anyway, I recently ruined my Tilt and had it replaced but the new Tilt has windows mobile 6.1 in place of 6.0 and not all of my old cabs/programs work anymore. I'm excited to see what else is out there for 6.1, but in the meantime, I noticed that the stock tilt comes with a version of HTC Home that has 4 of the 5 tabs (it's missing the music tab). I tried to use HTC home customizer but I can't. I can't seem to load a new version of HTC home over it either. I could not find the HTC Home program in the list of removable programs.
Maybe it's time for me to take the leap and move to a flashed ROM but every time I read through the instructions I get a little nervous and decide to wait until I feel like I really know what I am doing.
Anyway, I'd like to remove this stock version of HTC Home and load up a new version of HTC Home and start adding some cool cabs that work with WM6.1 but I can't find any threads addressing this HTC Home issue. Does anyone have any advice?
I too am interested in this if it is possible.
I dont have a working pc at home right now so flashing is not really an option for me.
What version of HTC home are you trying to install. I think there are a few out there. Also what error or msg are you getting when trying to install the faulty htc home plugin?
I successfully installed the new HTC home over the stock one on my AT&T stock ROM 6.1 and nothing broke. it pretty much overwrites the previous one so you don't have any duplicate entries in the remove programs or anything.
i tried to install HTC Home - Schen 2.1 with N2A weatherpatch (UPX compressed). i just realized my mistake was not deselcting it from the home screen before installing the cab. i feel like a jackass. thanks to the people who offered help. by the way is there a newer, better version of HTC home to install?
