Using the ATT TILT
So I can install both programs with no problems. HTC Home works fine by itself. When I go into HTC customizer and make changes and try to save, it shows the busy icon and it just continues to spin. How long should the changes take to save? What am I doing wrong?
I'll try a soft reset and when I go back to the "today" setting under the personal tab, the today icon won't respond no matter how many times I tap it. I have to uninstall both HTC and HTCC and then it works fine again.
Anyone have any ideas?
Are you using a custom ROM?
Or the stock ROM?

Yeah, same here. HTC Home Customizer was working fine for me until yesterday. It became non responsive . Every time I reinstall it, it will react to me selecting it. I would make the changes, press save and then the icon would spin and never stop. I would press "X" to back out which would cause my Today screen to go blank. Then HTC Home Customizer would become non responsive all together.

Hi All,
I crashed my HTC Home by making some changes with the HTC Home customizer. Since the changes took more then 15 minutes, I resetet my Kaiser, afterwards, the HTC Home place stays empty
Any idea how to fix it, or where to get the right cab for the software? I'd like to avoid a hard reset...
Thanks
Check your today settings, HTC home customizer disables the plugin to make the edits. Then the last step is re-enabling the plugin for your today screen. My guess would be you just need to go to start-settings-today choose items and check HTC Home....
I'm afraid, that's not the solution. When I check the box for the today screen, I only get a free space with the size of the home-software. No clock, buttons, etc.
Looks like your registry is messed up. A hard reset would be best option but you could try the HTC Home plugin cab from the sticky'd thread at the top of this Forum and see if it will recover your install. Just backup your data first if you do have problems.
And which one is the right cab? I'm not talking about the "Home plugin" but about the so called "home", the area with the clock, buttons, etc.
Maybe I'm simply too blind...
so i downloaded the CAB file and installed. but it doesnt appear. i still have the bland home screen. i did a soft reset and nothing. any help?
in my mind i followed the instructions from this link http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-htc-home-plugin-v1-0.html to a "t".
it cant be this simple...
I dont suppose you went to Settings > Personal > Today > Items(tab) and adjusted your settings.

Connect device to PC. Use Active Sync to move the (unopened/unextracted) CAB file to your device (storage card or if not main memory).
Then on the device use file explorer to find the CAB and tap on it to install it. Choose install to main memory for this CAB.
AND follow above posters advice to ensure the plugin is set to show on the Today Screen.

not that simple

already done that.
ditched the original link and downloaded schen's version on these very forums. so far so good!
look for schen's HTC Home at pocketemu.com. Then download HTC Home Customizer from the same Link and use it to customize your HTC Home.

2 ways
HHC can do it for you under one of its tabs
or
Go to the weather tab on HTC Home, tap on your city name and change it from the Menu option corrosponding to the right soft key.
Play around with it first and see if you can figure things out.
I downloaded the home plug and schen's cab, but the today screen only appears as the HTC home plug should appear. I tried reinstalling the cab file, but nothing changed. I can't find it under settings.
:EDIT:
I'm not even gonna bother deleting my previous post here. That was dumb of me. I thought I was to look around in the settings... Then I checked programs. You may now bash.
Screen not responding to the stylus?
I can not for the life of me get my stylus to work on my tilt. this is my first touch device but im sure its not hard. i can tap the screen and im fine but when i go to use the stylus it wont respond. could i have disabled something by accident?
Have a screen protector??? May need to adjust the sensitivity. Don't have the exact key, but I know it's in several posts. try filtering your search with the term pressure threshold.
No, it happened to me today too
Tilt w/Duttys latest.
I was reading email, when suddenly the touch screen stopped working. I could use the DPad, but no response to touch. Opened and closed the keyboard, still no response. Soft booted and it went back to normal.
I have had it happen 2 or 3 times on my tilt with dutty previous release. Rebooted and it went back to normal.
The problem is usually related to FTouchFlo, a simple soft reset cures the issue. If you don't have FTouchFlo installed, I'm not sure what could be causing it
I can also say that the issue is coming from touchflo. happened to me twice before so i've just disabled touchflo and hasn't happened since.
Me too!!!

I did everything in it, but sometimes my screen stops and freezes for a few seconds. Sometimes it gets so bad that it freezes like every 20 or 30 seconds when I am typing something using the stylus. I don't think I have touchflow because I never installed it. I just have the stock HTC rom.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.

Hi,
last week I noticed that one tab of my HTC Home is gone.. I'm missing the Button for quick calling favorite contacts and I don't find a setting to enable this.
Maybe my HTC Home is broke. Installed HTC Cube before and uninstalled it.
Ideas?
Try going into the Settings/Today/HTC Home and checking the tabs that you want dispayed.
Hm that was my first Idea, but in Settings->Today->Elements the Options Button is Grey when HTC Home is selected
Have you recently installed one of the numerous "cubes" avaiable here? If so, that is most probably your issue. There is a registry entry that needs to be amended to get the icon to reappear that has worked previously for me.
To get fave people tab back on HTC home then try this.....Remove or rename HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
Once done then soft reset and all should be ok.
If you need to add any contacts then add then through the cube. otherwise everytime you soft reset they may disappear.
****EDIT**** I have just tested this and can confirm that this method works with Dutty's April 9th ROM.
Yes, I did... Your solution helped, thank you!

Cool...Glad it worked for you.
I've used a few roms that had a few different htc home setups. My question is, I can't seem to find the Favorite People tab in the htc home customizer. How do I get that tab? Do I need a different version of HTC Home? If HTC home came bundled with a rom, is there a way to update it? Also, how do I find out what version of HTC home I have?
I'm not sure what you have as standard, but this thread will show you how to tweak the registry to change what shows up.
Hope it helps - good luck

That was very in depth. Unfortunately, I went to regedit the portion of the HTC Home registry that corresponded with the number of tabs and the order but my registry is already edited to 1,2,3,4,5,6. So my HTC Home should be showing 6 tabs but it is only showing 5. I've used HTC Home customizer and it is showing all but the Favorites tab. No matter what tab I remove I still dont have the Favorites tab.
Can only suggest you unselect the HTC Home in the today menu, go to the registry, remove number 2. Soft reset. Back to the registry, add in 2 again. Soft reset. Select from the today menu.
If that doesnt override the customizer then you'll have to post in the ROM thread or a Customizer thread.
Best I can suggest - good luck
Backup your complete phone on your desktop/laptop and do a hard reset.
Before you install all your programs, install the HTC customizer/Home FIRST.
My Wife and I each had this problem. Apparently one of the programs interfered with the HTC Home install and we didn't have the favorite people either. If you install it FIRST; your people tab will be there.
this happened to me yesterday, this is the answer
To get the favorite people tab back, delete this key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/OEM/MASD/QuickDial
then soft reset..

I appreciate everyones help very much in this issue. This was the solution that fixed the problem.
Thanks to everyone who offered advice or suggestions.
Hi guys.
I'm new to the Windows Mobile world and only got my Xperia X1 a couple of weeks back. I want to get the TouchFLO 3D interface on there.
However, I want to use CABs which allow me to switch to the TF3D interface and back out again to Xperia, rather than using a cooked rom.
I've looked around and at first it seemed fairly simple, but then the installation wouldn't work because the file didn't have certification security (or something like that).
I've seen articles saying you have to install older versions first, and almost all seem to point to cooked roms.
Does anybody know of a way to install the TF3D interface from a CAB file, and be able to switch in and out of it, like you can do with Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1?
I have Spb Mobile Shell 3.0.1 and Spb Weather installed, but I really want the TF3D interface... the weather animations on it are absolutely amazing!
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Sonny
If you check out the stickies in this section, one of them is all about programs, panels and tweaks.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=441439
Going through it, there is a specific one about installing TF3D as a cab and then running it as a panel.
Wow! Thanks Zenith.
Just managed to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila.cab and then TF3DPanelInstaller.CAB.
Works a charm. Exactly what I was after.
I'm now going to install Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab and see how the applications work.
Thanks again for guiding me in the right direction, very much appreciated.

Issues With Right Selection Button
Not sure if this is a known and shared issue. Is anybody else having the following problem..?
After installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, my right-hand selection button (the one above the OK button) is not working correctly. E.g. on the Today screen, it does not take you to 'Contacts'.
The left-hand selection button is fine, and it does correctly take you to the 'Phone' screen.
The right hand button is functioning though, but it seems to just be working like the 'Hang-up' button. If I go into an app and press it, it takes me back to the Today screen, and the app remains open in the task manager.
I got a little worried and decided to revert back to the original setup of my phone by using Sony's update tool. The right-hand selection button began to work fine again. After re-installing Touch-IT_Blackstone_Manila_HD_FULL.cab, I've got the problem again.
I'm guessing this may be down to a registry change. Anybody have any idea if and how you could change this through the registry, and which regkey to amend? Or is there a tweak/fix for this issue?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Regards
Sonny
Sorted Button Issue
Hmm, after checking the button settings again, it turns out the Right Selection button was set to Today. Removed the selection... sorted.

this is a known problem for tf3d. correct me if im wrong but all the cabs and cooked roms has this issue. sure you can assign the button in settings but after you turn phone off or reset tf3d it will always reset right button to today.

So this is to enable the right button to be assigned? Hmm.... kind of remember having that problem but somehow it was solved. Think with B2 of Daran's cab.
ManilaToday.dll Fixed The Issue!
Thanks Himuraken!
The ManilaToday.dll fixed the issue. Replaced the one in my Windows directory and now I don't have to change the button settings after a reboot.
And just for the record, Ipporek, I have Daran's B3 CAB and I was still getting the issue before Himuraken provided me with this ManilaToday.dll.
Problem sorted, now to look at installing the essential software cabs for TF3D. Installed Youtube yesterday, seems to work okay. Will check out some of the others later.

glad it work for you. i forgot to mention that credit goes to the person that provided this in the touch itJe v7 thread. not sure who it was so please forgive me.
Hi, it is my first post in a long time. Now I'm Xperia user.
I tried to download the today.dll but the link is gone. Additionally, my manila is not working: for some unexplained reason the program keeps trying to enter but did not succeed. It starts and then restart without opening.
Can somebody help me? I'm not inclined to try a Rom with manila for in that case I lose the "Ç" key and the letter recognition.
I use the Brazilian Sony Rom version from April 23, 2009.
Thanks, in advance!
Manila not working on Brazilian Xperia
Hi, this is my first post in a very long time. I tried to install this on my Xperia but got 2 errors:
1 - the right hard key problem and the file Today.dll is no more available at the said link
2 - the manila tries to start but does not enter. It keeps restarting but to no avail!
Please, some help is in order! I use brazilian Sony Rom and a cooked Rom is not na option since I would loose the hard "Ç" key and the on screen letter recognizer.
Also, I could not put the "Transcriber" to work.
Thanks
