No HTC Home settings tab after official 6.1 upgrade

Hi,
After upgrading my phone to the official 6.1 ROM, I no longer have the HTC home tab under Settings -> Today. I do have the plug-in enabled under 'Items', but am unable to configure anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
(searched quite a bit, but could find nothing related)

I have no problems with mine!
Did u flash from the OEM WM6 or a cooked ROM? If you were using a cooked ROM , see if changing back to your OEM SPL will assist.
I suggest u Hard reset and if that still does'nt work reflash with a freshly downloaded OEM ROM.
I have had no problems with my HTC WM 6.1 ROM at all.
The touch screen seems less responsive though.

I have noticed lags in 6.1 both using the on screen and the hardware keyboard. But that's actually nothing compared to an annoying "press OK to continue loading the contents of this page" and some other PIE-based troubles.

That settings tab is a feature of some cooked ROMs. Since you're using the official ROM, you won't see it.

HTC Home version 2.1.1005.722 has the settings/personal/today tab. Good luck finding it as a cab.

I am not using a cooked ROM. I'm using the official HTC downloadable update for the Kaiser, and I can enable the HTC Home under Settings/Today/Items . It doesn't have (doesn't need) any options. I also see the HTCHomeplug (quite useless, but works if I turn it on). I also have HTC Plus! , much better than the HTChomeplug, don't remember where I downloaded it from, worked on 6.0 and works perfectly under 6.1.

I'm using dutty's April 29th rom and i also dont have the settings, i dont want the weather icon.

There are third-party utilities that let you customize the HTC home. I have used one called HHC, very nice.

I have HTC Home Customizer but it makes my HTC home buttons look older. Currently i have the "bubble" looking onces, they are more transparent and round, if i use HHC it makes it go back to the old blocky buttons.

Just install this http://rapidshare.com/files/70344158/HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.Fix.Only.schen.cab.zip
And you'll have HTC Home tab in Today settings.

Thanks all; Karolis, that worked for me.
Pity it did not solve the real issue - iGO8 not working with HTC home running.
I was hoping disabling the weather/music tabs would help - but no such luck.

I the solution for the annoying "press ok to continue" problem. Using a registry editor, navigate to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main and make sure BlockStaticActiveX is set to zero.

Cant get SPB shell working O2 XDA diamond

I am an almost happy O2 XDA diamond user since yesterday.
However I cannot get the spb shell running.
Its installing and everythings looks fine, so far, but as far as I try to activate the "diary plug-in" = Heute Plug-in (I only have the german version running),
I need to go for a reboot.
Any hints ?
I havent found anything about this issue in the search ? Is it possible the problem is caused by different software in the O2 (german provider) software ?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards

i think you have to disable the TouchFLO 3D in the "today"-settings XD
i have the german version, too.
not sure if heute also calls today in that case

Thanks for the feedback.
How do I deactivate the touchflo?
I can only find touchflo settings, without a setting to switch the today screen off
Thanks in advance

settings(Einstellung) -> Today(Heute) -> Elements(Elemente)
and no problem

Does not always seem to work
Thanks a lot.
i got it working based on your description.
However it is instable. ... after I tried TouchFlo again, it crashed several time, when I deactivated Touchflo and activated SPB again .... strange ....
I think I will staywith the touchflo for the time being ... and hope for some bugfixes in ROM and SPB ;-) (or a new ROM without the O2 changes).
Thanks again. At least I had the opportunity to try the SPB.
Best regards

Problem with SPB Pocket Plus & WM6.1...?

Hi there
Does anyone else use SPB Pocket Plus (latest version V4.0.2 - Dec 07) and WM6.1 and suffer the annoying problem where the today plugin icons don't pickup correctly after a reset?
It's easily fixed by clicking to refresh all tabs, but surely it shouldn't do it???
I'm also suffering a problem whereby not all text messages are received by my phone. (I posted in the General section with no joy - am hoping that you software guys may know if something conflicts?!) It's very strange as the phone lights up as if a text is coming through, then nothing happens. I've tried a Hard Reset and restore to no avail.
Wierd thing is, my mate has a Kaiser on Vodafone UK (V1615) running WM6.0 and he has the same problem - I'm on O2-UK so it's not a carrier problem.
I set his Kaiser up for him with much the same software as mine, including SPB PocketPlus V4.0.2...
I also (I know, I'm sorry!) have a problem with the today screen if I change things... For example, if I change the backdrop via Pictures and Video's, more often than not the phone will hang requiring a stylus reset. Am wondering if this is SPB PocketPlus related???
Any idea's? (Sorry about the multi questions!!)
Cheers

sorry about the double post!

As far as the PocketPlus, I am using it and I haven't had a problem at all with the icons or anything else for that matter. I haven't had any problems with the txt msgs either. You may need to reset the mms server?? I don't know about that, I just remember reading about it in another thread somewhere... As for the backdrop change, that's not a pocket plus related conflict. I am not sure what else you have installed, but I have changed mine multiple times in the past 2 days and haven't had a single problem or anything that told me I had reset or that I needed to soft reset the phone. I would suggest unistalling the Pocket Plus and reinstalling it. I know that I have had to do that before because of one of the other SPB proggies i used had changed some values in the registry for it. Otherwise, I would contact SPB, they would know how to fix it. Unless you didn't purchase it...

Hi Killerbeans!
I'v tried uninstalling and re-installing a couple of times to no avail unfortunately
The only other things I have installed (all bought and paid for!) that startup with the phone are SKTools (set to performance optimisation) and Kasperski AntiVirus...
I might try uninstalling those and SPB and reinstalling them one by one...
Cheers for the response though!

I have been havng the spb problems since 6.1 installation as well (I am with AT&T in the US, original Kaiser).
Thanks for pointing out the "Refresh All Tabs" option...I have to stupidly admit that I was not aware of it and I have been fixing the icons one at at a time....very boring...However, I have no solution to offer to the problem, other than to verify that it is a real one.

Hmm running fine on my kaiser with the hyperdragon roms...
Are you using the "close button" plugin? if so, did you enter tmail.exe and poutlook.exe as exceptions? don;t doing this could lead to problems
for the icons, I have the same problems too sometimes, did you install it on main memory? are the missing icons from programs installed on storagecard?
there is an option under today plugins->advanced, "refresh icons in today plug-in when storage card is inserted." try enabling that and see if it helps

Hi guys!
Thanks for the responses! It's 'good' to know it's not just me having the SPB problem, although not good that it's happening at all!
I've installed it on Storage Card (as I have since my Wizard days). Using SKTools I've set the SDDeamon to startup 1st so was hoping that'd sort it... it didn't
I'm glad the refresh all tabs helped!
I've added those exceptions Bartus so I'll report back! I have the refresh icons when storage card inserted already which doesn't seem to work. It is the apps located on the storage card that don't load though so it has do be something to do with that.

Go back to 4.0.1 it doesn't have the problem.

Hi Sirooga
I'll give that a try, if I still have it on my HDD!
Cheers!

Today Plugin Problems
I also use pocket plus on my Tilt, and it is apparently version 4.0.2 build 6227. What really annoys me is that the today plugin worked perfectly on wm 6.0, but after that &[email protected]#! 6.1 upgrade, it works fine for a few hours after I installed a lot of programs and soft resetted a bunch, until I backed up my phone. After using sprite Backup 5 ONCE, it deletes all my tabs and icons in the plugin and doesn't remember them no matter what I do. It still is checked in the today plugins menu, but it isn't there as there is nothing for it to show. SPB's got some serious work to do.

Today plug-ins shoud be installed to Main Memory.
Spb 4.01 works far better than 4.02 IMO.

[Q] Can not get phone to NOT wake up when text comes in

I have searched and searched, so far all that have the same issue as myself have not had an answer that works. I am bringing this to a new thread, in the hopes it will trigger some ideas on how to fix this.
I do know how to use the search system. I am usually a lurker, having the Diamond (NOT Pro) for a little over a week.
I have tried a number of different things to try to STOP the screen from waking up on a new text message. I have tried everything except the older version 3.2.. of the advanced config utility (I am reluctant to downgrade to older version as I have changed many things and have noticed that if you switch from one config utility from another will not work the same way, example is with TF3dconfig I removed the weather tab and forgot to reset all when I uninstalled it for the 3.3 version of advanced config. I try to re-activate the weather tab in 3.3 and it will not take-alas, another issue for another day). I have a Sprint version of the diamond. The DisableSMSWakeUpEvent does not work on my sprint diamond. It does not show up in the registry and when I create it, it still does nothing. This seems like such a silly thing to not have the option of adjusting in the oem configuration. The Pro has it, why not the non-pro version.
Many thanks for anyone that has a suggestion on how to get this screen to STAY OFF when a text comes in. Perhaps even a lock on incoming text that will be unlocked by the light sensor.
I have also discovered that TF3D does not like gsensor rotation. I wanted the text message to be landscape. Tried Gyrator 2, could not get it to reliably not rotate when a call is active. Tried changescreen, great easy to use, but TF3D overrides this. It works the first time or two, then the TF3D changes it to portrait. I did find that adding a rotate command to a registry entry (found in the forum) then assigned the 'green' phone button long hold to rotate. Works well and is easy as sometimes I do not want it to rotate.
Sorry for the run on, many thanks in advance for the help and insight.
Jeff
Sprint
Next? -->HTC Diamond Pro (I am not missing keyboard as much as I thought I would with TF3D)
HTC Diamond (WM6.1)
HTC Touch (WM6.1 ack! lasted a week)
HTC PPC6800 Mogul (WM6 upgraded WM6.1)
HTC PPC6700 (WM5)
Samsung I600 (WM 4?) (Flip phone)
Kyocera QCP-7035 (Palm) (Flip phone color)
Kyocera QCP-6035 (Palm) (Pseudo flip, greyscale)

A bump to see if anyone has a solution, many thanks for taking a look.

SecondToday and WM6.5?

Does anyone know how to enable plugins on second today with 6.5 roms? I have tried several roms and second today installs fineon all of them. I can also select the plugins I want in settings but, whenever I bring up ST, nothing shows and on checking, all of the plugins have been de-selected.
This is with using CHome only. Not the CHome/M2D combinations. I know in 6.1 ST works fine with M2D. I have not tried it as yet with the Combo today roms to see if it works with M2D there, but I suspect not.
Thanks

Mods, please close this thread. I uninstalled Showcase v1 trying to identify the source of another issue and everything works fine now.
