HTC Home plugin on Athena WM6 - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

I've tried going through all the Home Plugin posts on these forums, but can't find my particular problem in any of them.
I have an Advantage with Dutch WM6, official download from HTC.
I have RealVGA running smoothly.
I wanted the HTC Home Plugin, so I downloaded the latest I could find here (v2.0, Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen) and ran the .cab along with all the cert.cabs I could find.
As expected, it looks funny at 192dpi, but works very nicely at 96dpi.
BUT...
The clock works and all the messaging-shortcuts work, but all the other tabs (pref. calling, weather, launcher and soundsettings) are non-functional.
When I try to add something to the launcher, it just gives me a generic folder-icon without any option to actually select a program.
Selecting a contact for the pref. calling tab doesn't do anything at all. The weather tab is empty.
Has anyone else had these problems, and if so what should I do about it?

HTC home plugin VGA
Try HTC home plugin VGA, it work OK with 192 dpi also.

Tried it, and all I got was a blank spot where the Home Plugin should be.
Even tried substituting another .dll, no dice.
The only one that gives me anything (home tab at 96dpi) is HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.Fix.Only.schen.
Thanks for the idea, though.

Hmm, It does work at 96dpi on my athena no problem, if it is any use to you Im running it on PK3 Black touch rom.
I assume that you tried the app with the previous one uninstalled and that it is selected in settings >today> Items.
If you tested the file attached,perhaps is worth to do a search for the original file Just in case it got corrupted when uploading.
good luck with it anyway.

Maybe it's because it isn't embedded in the ROM? (doesn't PK3 have it in the ROM?)
I think I read on the forum that that was a problem with the Athena...

PK3 Black touch has the regular home plugin as an add on, it did not look proper in 192 and 128dpi, it wasn't that bad but then the newer app came and solved that problem, I don't know about black dual though,I'm waiting for PK4, also if you are interested there is SnapVue around, it does look fab in landscape mode, in portrait how ever it cut the right side.
Regards

search my dual thread. there is a plugin that works in all dpis.

Would that be snapvue?
Also, maybe I'm being blind, but I am wondering whether I've been stupid and I just need compact frmework to make everything work?
Man, I am a total noob, aren't I...
I want to thank you all for all your help!
This forum is such a great resource, and you're all very cool for helping me out.

Snapvue: Get the plugin working, but only the calendar-view works. All others don't even show up as tabs.
HTC Home: Tried the last versions from the Dual thread; they other don't show up at all or (2.1) only show the Home-tab correctly. All other tabs non-functional.
I'm beginning to think these just will not work with the Dutch 6.0 ROM, and I am not in a position to change ROMs right now.
Seems this isn't meant to be for me just yet...

Possible problemsolver:
rename the MUI to 0413 (dutch) as opposed to 0409 (english)?
I'll give that a shot when I get home.

I have given up on HTC Home Plug
I can't get the launcher portion to operate properly on either version. It is nice to have the numbers not be cut off on screen, but if I can't adjust the brightness on the fly, it won't work for me. Perhaps it isn't playing nice with some of my other software (of which there are many!) I'll wait for the new 4.0 ROM and see if that solves my problem.

Yeah I tried it. On the Advantage in Landscape mode is covers the whole srceen and you can't get to anything below it. In Portrait mode it takes up about half the screen.

IGO 8 in PK 4

Hello ,
I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?
Anybody does have the same problem?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....
An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.

I like it WITHOUT the file manager. Good call. The standard file manager is a junk that never get used anyway. I use Resco File Explorere 2008, which allows you to scroll with fingers (like HTC TouchFlo with sound)..
I'm going to try this out for sure, and I think this could be IT.

Thanks Irus, is nice to see we are progressing, with your support of course. Just a question, I suppose is Ozvga included? Should be possible to have RealVga?
My question is because I think most of us use on 128 dpi.

I believe Irus's plan is to replace the Splash Screens. He created a thread asking for someone or many people to create splash screens for the Rom. So since no one has provided any yet and this is a beta rom, the splash's will be added later. You can also create and put in your own splash screens too. Below is his thread asking for Splash Screens.

This is Lite or Vanilla Rom, therefore no voice command application is included in the Rom. Which is good, since you can install the one you prefer. There are several cabs available for either Cyberon or Microsoft Voice Command available. Choose your preference, search and install the one you want.

Already this that you explain to me.
I have installed the Cyberon and works all good… but when pressing the button of my Jabra 8010 does not take the program, I have tried with the Vito Dialer and either… there is no something in the registry that does not take the button from my bluetooth.
install AP4 Cyberon Voice Commander from AP4 Addons
Delete shortcuts created in Start Up Folder
Install Cyberon Voice Commander form Irus 6.1 addons
then it will work fine!

New Version MusicID Shazam 1.3.16 Tactile QVGA + VGA ( Fix Font)

hello everybody
I found a recent version VGA but I converted to QVGA, you certainly know this software, this version is unlike other tactile versions available to date
Admin edit: software removed after a complaint from the copyright owner, this software is not freeware or shareware and therefore considered warez, warez is not allowed on the forum.
​
Quentin Post:
I know, I know...I'm late to the party. Hopefully the quality of the release will make up for the tardiness. I'm still running a Kaiser (just couldn't convince myself the Diamond was actually better--and I'm still crossing my fingers that the Touch HD will get released with TMO 1700Mhz support).
Anyway, without further ado...this version of MusicID is based from the 1.3.16 source from 1800pocketpc.com which is of course released by AT&T. The changes are as follows:
Converted for QVGA (320x240) support. The conversion was done using image resources from the non-touch screen version so they look just fine. Furthermore all fonts have been converted as well. (I'd like to give credit to lepsyfou here, he did give everyone something to use at least even though the images looked poor and the fonts were large. Were it not for finding his original conversion that got me hooked on the app itself I probably never would have made my own conversion).
Removed UID information from query strings. For those that didn't check, the application for download on these forums (and other sites) actually makes all requests under the guise of someone's account (presumably whoever released the app). I won't post their account # here but suffice it to say that if they ever shut off the service everyone using that app would find it stops working. Hopefully that won't happen here.
Removed all AT&T specific features. This also means that all the buttons present after a successful identification have been removed. #1 they are completely useless for anyone not on the AT&T network; and #2 they were pretty much pointless (from my perspective) in the first place. As a side benefit see the next item.
Due to the removal of AT&T specific features I found it convenient to download a larger cover image photo for the album...maybe this will be enjoyed by others as well
Updated the help pages and removed redundant (or now unused) entries.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
If you've never installed any version of MusicID before simply install the cab. If however you have installed a previous version pay close attention:
Remove any previously installed version of MusicID.
It is absolutely MANDATORY to remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MusicID folder and its contents. If you're an advanced user and are using any of the conn* entries you can leave those but remove all others. If that last statement doesn't make any sense to you then simply remove the entire MusicID key (and all entries contained therein) prior to installation.
I highly recommend removing your \Application Data\MusicID folder and contents. This is due to the fact that the application now expects 150x* size images. The only issue with old images should be a slight off-center display though so it is up to you

Was reading about this last night on Pocketnow.com. tried to installed and got the unsuccessful message. Was in ATT store today looking at the new Samaung epix, just to see what it was about, would never give up my Tilt for it, but is nice and love the cursor, very responsive.
Now if you have a Tilt, not sure about other cells, or maybe if you have ATT device dial from you cell *43# and it should get it for you. Also might look in your start up might get put there.
I love this program. It actutally found a song from a Musical from 1951 while i have my Sirrus on Broadway. Unreal.
Hope this helps someone.

Not at all. S740 is just so amazing. I am quite surprised so few people actually own it.
3G support for US possible?
Hi,
I was wondering if anybody knows if it would be possible to make a version that adds the 850MHz band for HSDPA? Maybe someone is already working on this? I do not know if the restriction to 900/2100MHz is due to its hardware design. I searched the site but seem to find contradicting info on this.
I own a Fuze, which is nice and fast on 3G but after having used the S710 and S730 I very much prefer one-hand navigation for everything else. The only thing keeping me from buying the S740 is that I want fast Internet access.
Thank you in advance for any info on this.
I think that limitation is hardware-based and therefor cannot be just "added"
HTC might work on US version of S740 but I have heard no rumors about such thing.
Guys I own one since a 3 weeks now and I acompletely in LOVE...
It is a "She" definitely (Rose)
I own one since 1 week and I m quite happy with it. Just a few things could be improved:
- Battery, mine last ~24hrs with a normal usage, HSDPA on, Btooth off, wlan off, Skype and MSN running and mail check every 10 min. But If I m in an area where HDSPA is always available (like... HOME) the battery last a lot less.
- Mine numeric keypad does a noisy noise.... like if there was sand behind the keys.
- Meteo doesn't work with other cities ( I tried everything... )
- I can t find a decent Navigation (GPS) software and a browser that actually work with the browser game oGame (I tried explorer, opera mini, opera mobile)

MSN, Skype and periodical e-mail checking produce quite some traffic and require a few CPU cycles, too. Both of these factors are quite good battery consumers.

Mine definitely doesn't. I would consider returning/replacing your unit as it might be faulty.

Do you mean HTC weather on the homescreen? And what exactly do you mean? Are you unable to select different city than default or unable to synchronize data for different city?

Try Sygic McGuider - I use it and I think it's excellent. Very fast, intuitive, good maps coverage and handles screen rotation.
Thank you for you answer!

I will try and compare it with another unit in the store. Thank you.
The keys work properly, the only problem is this little noise.

Yes, I mean HTC weather, the problem is that I cannot add other cities (present on accuweather). There are a few tricks for other HTC devices but they don t seem to work. (The cities can be easily added but the device is unable to download the data from accuweather)

Then I don't know. I never needed to add aditional cities to HTC weather default list.

Hmm, I like my smartphones. (S710/S730/S740) Easy one Finger Navigation, you must not toogle between fingertips and Keyboards and much faster.
The most of our female Users like much more Smartphone Edition, is much easier to use for standard things.
And the today "New Email" Plugin is much better:
It shows "all" incoming Emails, also the Emails that are automaticly routed via Exchange Rules to Subfolders. With a "normal" PDA you see only New Emails that comes into your Inbox, with S740 you see all "New" Emails that are automaticly moved to Subfolders into the Today screen. That´s really the "best of" of the S740
I Wonder, why not Touch HD, Touch Pro, Diamond has this feature??

can you tell me how to install the manilla 2d on my rose?? Because i'm a noob in this things on phone's
Hopefully you can help me... thnks
I hate touch
I hate touch screens, this is the ideal device.
i wish it was a big thinner, but frankly I am so please that HTC, Samsung, Nokia (s60v3) and others continue to manufacture non-touch devices.
They are so much faster to use, less input error, and no constant cleaning of screen!
yes that´s right. I use sometimes Nokia E66/E71 with Symbian OS, for quick & Dirty use on the road, that´s really fine, only the Nokias Mail for Exchange (MfE) Application is not so good like the one of S740. When this has same charakter sometimes, I will switch completly to Nokia´s symbian OS. ;-)

Windows Mobile 6.5.3 Build 23518 ROM with TouchFlo 3D (not Sense)

LINK TO NEW THREAD !!
-- LINK --
Hello all, I'm looking for a ROM that is 6.5 (preferably 6.5.3) based but with the standard TouchFlo 3D instead of Sense 2.1 or 2.5, as I find that they are way to sluggish on my Fuze. Do any such ROMs exist? If so, could someone point me toward one? I've searched quite a bit and nothing seems to come up.
Don't think there is one, but i can make a very stock one with the original Touch Flo 3D?
just try some of the old energy roms... im am extremely sure he made a couple with tf3d and not sense...
and im also sure its 6.5.3

Basically what would be ideal would be one based on clean 23518 that had just the plain TouchFlo 3D. If you could do that that would be phenomenal.
I will also take a look at some of the older Energy ROMs although they are a bit big and bloated it seems to me.

UPLOADING NOW!!
But TouchFlo3D is not set as standard, you'll have to set that in "Settings" -> "Today"
Awesome thanks so much! Do you have a donation link?
Well yea, but try it out and see if you like it first
And request fixes and report bugs and stuff
Here you go!

ROMeOS 3 Public is a newer ROM with TF3D, look here:
http://romeos.monx.biz/index.php?op...OMeOS2_WM65X_23081_301_071109_RAnDIUM_WWE.rar
But not the original TouchFlo 3D? The one the phone is shipped with
Currently testing it out...will let you know how it goes
So far so good, seems very fast and works very nice.
A few things: In MyPhone, the text does not show up in some of the screens, although the softkeys work and I can use it just fine.
I would like to replace the stock WinMo dialer with the nice Raphael dialer although I'm not sure where to find it.
The 5 row Start menu is a little bit cramped.
Internet link on TouchFlo 3D does not work (maybe I have to install Opera, will try installing Opera 10 and find out).
Email tab is called "email" in all lowercase instead of "Mail" (this is very nitpicky I'm just pointing it out)
Thanks so much I'm loving it!
I'll get on that when I'm home from school
I liked this ROM very much but i found some bugs maybe u could fix it..
1. Word Mobile won't Open, It's said to restart device but still won't open
2. some text out of screen, like in mms option server setting
will inform u later if i found others bug..thx
Touch pro roms

Do you have OperaL.exe in windows folder?
No OperaL.exe as far as I can see...should the Opera installer put it there automatically or must it be added manually?
