Ok, what am I missing here - this used to work!
I've got the latest patched HTC Home plugin that correctly displays my local weather (Flint, TX) on the Home plugin.
Everything works....except:
When you click "More" from the 5-day view the Accuweather page launched is the default one where it asks you to enter your zip code or city.
If you enter this then it tells me (correctly) that this city is already in my list and THEN gives me the option to go to Accuweather Home which re-directs to my default location since this is stored as a cookie.
This is a pain!
Before it used to go directly to the "Home" page of Accuweather which then diplayed my local weather immediately.
AFAIK the only thiing I've changed recently is to load the new HTC Home customizer that allows preview of the settings. I've set this all up as before including using the custom database and setting my home city.
What am I missing? There seems no file in the HTCHome folder that controls this and no registry entry as far as I can see....
TIA.
Andy.

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.
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.
Up until recently there was a free application in the market that allowed you to use buzz in a 1.6 android device. I just wiped and went to download it, and is gone! I believe it was just called "buzz".
Anyone who still has it can upload it?
Thanks
I think that app was just a shortcut to the web site. The mobile web page works just fine on a 1.6 device, it is just a little limited I believe.
But it had a nice icon...
Same icon gets created when I create a shortcut to the mobile web site on my home screen.
Really? I only get an icon of a webpage...
what ROM are you running?
If I long press on the home screen and select "Shortcut" I get a menu to choose the type of shortcut. If I select "Bookmark" I then get taken to the browser's bookmark screen, where I just select my Buzz bookmark. The fancy little Buzz icon then shows up on my home screen.
The latest Cyanogen.

Try to enable wifi (just enable and don't connect to any wifi) and go to the weather tab and hit update button. Should solve your issue.
Also, use weather city editor if my location doesnt work for you (depending on area it doesnt work).
This way you can manually add your city to the weather tab, then add the location to the home tab clock, and voila, your city will be displayed on home screen
See my sig for the link.

hi
1-i just turn my tomtom on with my home adress set
2-press the home button to leave tomtom running in background and go to manila wheather tab
3-chose my location and press update now, just wait a few secunds and thats it! at least for me by the way iam using a energy rom 10 jul.
best regards
I just updated to 6.0, and now cannot add a 1x1 bookmark to any of the home screens. I used to be able to do this before the 6.0 update, along with changing the icon from the generic letter to whatever picture I wanted.
Now when I go thru the motions to add a bookmark, I can drag the 1x1 bookmark widget onto the screen, then when the "Choose a bookmark" screen pops up, it is completely blank - nothing to choose from. What's interesting if I instead choose to add a 3x2 Bookmark, that seems to work just fine. If I just open up Chrome, all my bookmarks are still shown and active, so not sure why adding a 1x1 bookmark no longer works.
Thoughts?
EDIT: I see that I can navigate to a webpage, press "..." in the upper right, and add a bookmark that way. But shouldn't the method described above also work?
