HTC Home (Touch) shell32.exe error

Hi!
I just installed "HTC Touch Home Plugin" onto my Herald. It creates an empty area in the home screen and shell32.exe crashes all the time.
I updated my device to WM6 using:
HTC_P4350_SVE_4.17.413.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
and i installed the touch plugin using:
HTC_Touch_Home_Plugin.cab (1,46MB)
Any ideas why this is happening? I really want the touch plugin and not the SPB one so please dont link to other apps that do "almost" the same thing.

Theres probably 3-4 topics on the top 10 list containing questions and (some) answers to what you seek.
I noticed that you are reltativly new here (me too, somewhat ) so I will give the adwise I have been given and probably a couple thousand other new ones have recieved too....read, read, search, read, and when you feel that you are about to give up, read more.
When I first came to this forum, I wanted everyone with the knowlege I need to come to my rescue ASAP, when I had a problem with something, but thats not the way it works here.
Ofcourse most here are willing to help out, but when the same questions come a million times, then its just tiresome, and no one bothers to answer cause its been answered before.
But I will try a little adwise, if your HTC Home doesnt work, try another one, remove the one you installed, and install another one, maybe make some changes to some of the files after you have installed. I made (or made a repost) of how to make the homescreen work with your native language OS..

Hi folks,
Nice one, thanks ecltech, its all back to normal now. It wasn't a huge problem but it was starting to get annoying. So I’m thankful for you helping me sort this out.
Grizzley, not sure what the link was supposed to point to, but it just brought up the advanced search form on google.
Cheers once again
John

That was the point Grizzley was trying to make - this issue has been asked several (countless times) and keeps getting reposted. He is trying to suggest searching for the answers to your questions before posting - chances are, 90% of your questions have already been answered (at least twice). The last post regarding this issue is on page 2 or 3 so wouldn't have taken much searching.
Sounds pedantic but that at least 1/3 of the 260-ish pages are repeat posts - would make the forum much easier to navigate if everything wasn't repeated so much.
Anyway, welcome to the forum. Guess you'll know next time....

com.htc.resource.apk issues...

hey, i've been screwing around pulling .apks from /system/app + /framework...and pretending i'm some hardcore themer or something...lol anyway...
firstly sorry for my lack of correct terminology...i only learnt how to use adb properly a few days ago and am very green when it comes to all this stuff.
i've managed to pull some pngs from com.htc.resource.apk which correspond to the main part of the sense/rosie interface (ie the buttons at the bottom of the home screen).
All i have been looking at doing is editing the colours of these pngs to add slight customisation..for now.
After editing i pushed com.htc.resource.apk back to my hero and hey presto it worked...nice new coloured interface (just the bottom of the homescreen, not everything like i've seen in some themers work and metamorph themes) but alas i came across a MASSIVE issue:
I lost the ability to sign into my google account and sync my contacts!!!!
I tried again and had the same issue...very strange i thought seen as i was only editing images...but i know computer systems can be temperamental...
so does anyone know what i'm doing wrong? possibly how i can fix this issue? it's been bugging me for at least 24 hrs and i'm sure there must be some easy fix. at first i thought it could be something to do with signing the files, but as far as i'm aware as i'm only playing with pngs no signing has to be done...correct me if i'm wrong.
I'm using villain rom 10.3 at the moment...if that makes a difference to whatever answers i'm hoping to get.
I've attached an image oh my status bar so far. i'm hoping to make a corresponding rosie/sense button thingy interface in the near future...
all help is GREATLY appreciated and i'm happy to share any "work" that i've done with anyone..so don't be shy.
Cheers

hey bro! i was playing around with the htc.com.resources.apk too! was trying to edit the lockscreen to a different style but too encounter the exact same problems as you faced!
apparently this guy, odin13 in his post
"clear sense lockscreen for Cronos 1.7.1"
managed to edit the htc.com.resources.apk without any facing any problems like us. im actually using his edited htc.com.resources.apk for clear lockscreen right now..

Cheers for the reply, bit of a flummoxing problem. I'll try an find odin and see if he can help!
Please anyone else feel free to help me here :-D

Hi guys,
Sorry for my late response but i just noticed the msg i got...
I'm really sorry but i really can't help you with this problem.
You should better ask it in the Villain forum since i'm no developer or some like that.
The boyz at Villain will definately be able to help you out with this or at least they can tell you what's going wrong.
The 'trick' with lockscreen is something i read once in a post ( can't remember which forum though ) so it's not even something i will take credit for.
Good luck bro and srry again for the late response!
hoi,
odin

Hey thanks for getting back to me man, greatly appreciated. Those boys at villain did solve it, i think it was a combination of pulsar & ultimately shen who sorted me out.
For stuff like the lockscreen and sense interface you need to create an update signed zip file and flash that way. no more loss of contacts which is great!
Happy days!

[Q] Need help creating scoring app

Hi everyone,
At the beginning I do apologize if it's the wrong place to post this thread. I am a "noob", a very very beginner. Can you guys just tell me is it difficult to create an app, which looks like quiz, but there are no wrong or correct answers, but only points for the answer? I'm in need to make an app where the total points will be visible at the bottom and updated (cumulated) in real tim while choosing answers. Also I want to place all questions on one page, which you can scroll (total of 11 questions).
Below is a simple example how I need it to look like.
I will appreciate any help, it's really very very important to me.
I know that I sound like (and I am ) a noob. I know that there are loads of different tutorials, but it will take me ages to understand it and make it on my own.
Hope you guys can help and again sorry if that's a wrong place for this thread.
Kind regards

Hi there,
The project you described should be fairly easy to create, after you've learned the basics of Android Studio. Alot of the graphical work in your project can be done in a WYSIWYG editor. The first step would be to install Android Studio and familiarize yourself with the interface. Pay particular attention to "layouts" and "design view".
Cheers,
Shockfire.

hi nadaall,
If you want to create highscore for your quiz app,learn SharedPrefernces in Android.It will store value and also modify when highscore attain.If you want to show questions in one page,then you can copy random questions into ArrayList and then show it in the page.
I also created quiz application,Try this: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=makeinfo.com.quizapp

Watchmaker faces settings reset

I use watchmaker and love it. One issue I am having is certain faces have color settings (color for the hands, color for the text, color for the markets, etc). It seems that after setting the colors just the way I like it, within a few hours the colors reset to the default settings.
Does anybody else have this issue and does anybody know how to get the colors to stick?
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers,
B.D.

It depend on how that specific watchface is being build. You better start building your own face, with the desired colours and that will not reset itself .

Not really helpful in answering my question, ro_explorer. I know building my own would allow the watchface to be styled more to my personal tastes without requiring my question be answered, but I do like faces others have created with their personal scripting and sometimes these faces are locked and I do not have the time to recreate them. As such I'm asking a specific question about watchmaker and how it operates. I would ask that you please do not act condescending and pedantic in answering a specific question about a specific program in the future.
Sincerely,
B.D.

I had the same issue with one watch face I have been using. I ended up solving it when I found a file that configures the defaults for the watch face. I edited the file and changed the variables for the colors and other settings to the way I wanted them to be so when it resets, it goes back to how I want it.
I assume that you could maybe do something similar. On my phone the location of the file was:
/sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts
It was just a matter of opening the text file and then changing the values for the variables. Then going on the watch and removing the watch face and resending it to the watch from watchmaker on my phone.

Nx248, thank you. I will explorer the scripts used to try to track down the colors I want. This is helpful. Wish the watch/program would remember the colors though and save me the time in tracking down the script implementation.
Thanks again.
Cheers,
B.D.

Please don't be an ass. My advice was a real one and I'm sticking to it. If you want to have something that suits your specific needs, with the specific look, the ONLY WAY to achieve it is to build it yourself. Do not expect others to deliver the perfection for you.

And I'm convinced 100% that you sent that wish to the developer as well ...
If you really want to find out more about the inner workings of a certain software/platform, or to add useful things to it, the easiest way is to contact the developer.
My recommendation is to stop complaining and actually do something to fix your issue. Do not bash on the ones who are trying to share with you their ideas.

ro_explorer,
If there were an option you would like to see on your car would you build a car yourself, or reach out to see if anybody else had implemented the solution. Your responses ARE condescending and rude in the way you come across expecting people to have infinite time to do this. Maybe you have the time to explorer building this yourself but I have other more important things to do which is why I posed the original question.
To quote you, 'don't be an ass. '
I have found a number of people who have offered useful help on these forums and still contend your 'advice' does not address the original question. I would contend that you need to read the questions people post and not write out an answer just to up your post count or 'prove' what a smart ass you can be.
This is the last post I will make on this subject.
B.D.

I'm an engineer and a tinkerer .... I'm ALWAYS implementing my own solutions in ALL technical fields that I understand. I also help others and try to put seeds of creation in everyone else ....
If I ever had to ask for stuff I always asked the producer.
I hope this is answering your concerns.
Other than this I'm really sorry you are sensitive to a level to consider my comments as rude ...
Good luck in your endeavour ... If I can help you again, I will ...

Hi nx248,
I tried changing the script on the phone and resending the watchface to the watch but found that since the script had already been transferred to the watch previously I had to edit the script on the watch.
I accomplished this by adb into the watch and pulling the script to my computer, editing it, and then pushing the script back on the watch to the /sdcard/BeautifulWatches/scripts directory. Alternatively, I think I could have pulled the script from my phone, edited it, and pushed it to the same location.
In any case, I edited the watchface variables so that the default position in the array corresponded to the colors I wanted, which is working.
Thanks for your help. :good:
EDIT: Just saw that you had stated I should delete the watchface from the watch. I don't know how to do this, so I will have to educate myself.
I read the Watchmaker forum and found that if you enter the "change faces" screen on the watch under Watchmaker (usually press at one of the main watch positions - default to 3 o'clock, but can be set to 6,9,12 o'clock) and swipe up on the face you wish to remove, it is removed from the watch.
Cheers,
B.D.
