Thread

The thread is for Homeplug problems as per the thread title, not Tmobile weather problems.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hiimcliff:
whatever port its using is probably being blocked by tmobile

edit: looks like its port 1047. can someone else confirm this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] andyjs:
No, it is not port 1047. I have tested an application through this port and it works fine. The weather fowards through port 80 as I stated in my last posts from the firewall log. I dont think the ports are the problem. I think its more about the encapsulation. It reaches the destination but it does not get an ACK (acknowledgment) back. It stops at some point.

HTCHome.dll can be patched to pull values from Forecastfox, but I couldn't sign it with signcode. I get "Error: Signing Failed. Result = 80070057, (-2147024809)". How can it be signed?

I would be highly obliged if someone could post his LaunchApPath of:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\x]

x= the entry for the mousemode.exe

The problem is:

If I click on the mouse button in the HOMEPLUG on the todayscreen it only starts the setting screen, where I have to enable it manual.

Could someone give me the right command to enable it while clicking on the icon in the todayscreen:

"\windows\mousemode.exe -enable" (doesn't work)

thank you !

How do you go in and change which city is displayed on the screen? I added a local city to the xml files, however for the life of me I can not seem to find my way back to the list to choose cities to display. I double-click on the city name that is displayed, I have clicked all over the weather display and I can not make my way to the list.

Any solutions?

SYMPTOMS

Attempting to digitally sign a file using Signcode.exe results in the following error:

Unable to sign the program xxxxx: (0x80070057)

CAUSE

The current version of Signcode.exe that ships with the ActiveX SDK, Ms Authenticode(IE4) and MS Authenticode(IE5) tools is unable to sign 16-bit files.

RESOLUTION

One workaround is to wrap the 16-bit file in a .cab or a self-extracting executable, which can then be digitally signed using Signcode.exe.

No fix, just testing results for T-Mo USA weather problem.

One guess I thought it might be is that requests coming from T-Mo's domain suffix were being blocked by Accuweather. Either by mistake, or intentionally.

So, I simply put in the full URI into my browser while connected via EDGE.

http://htc.accuweather.com/widget/htc/forecast-data_v3.asp?ac=TR2cra9U&locCode=NAM|US|CA|FRESNO

(I'm assuming that's the address the program would use.)

Result: It pulled up the xml file, so there's no blocking going on, "unless" the HTC weather program is sending a different header than the PIE and they're blocking that. I really doubt it, but that is a possiblity, but I doubt it.

It is an interesting problem as when I'm otherwise connected via USB/Sync, or WiFi it connects without problem. (That connection does not go through T-Mobile) My guess is that the problem lies with the header and T-mo's Proxy.

Does anyone know how to change the city that is displayed in Weather? I modified the XML files, however I can't seem to find out how to go into the plug-in and change which city is displayed!?

Hello

Some great tips here. Has anyone figured out how to add apps as an icon on the 3rd page? I have PocketSCUMM for example, but it doesn't appear on the list, presumably because it wasn't installed. I have more apps like this, anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

As mentioned in post #1 the size of the HTC Home plugin is too big, however a work around might be to allow the plugin to scroll rather than being fixed at the top - does anyone know if this is possible? Also, is there anyway to remove the scroll bar down the side - it is in the way and does not add any value IMHO.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] lumi74:
I´m having the same problem. It´s driving me crazy. I can´t make any settings at all. I also cannot find the _HH...xml file in the \windows folder. Of course I enabled the option to show all files.

Can anyone give us a hint?

It only picks up shortcuts in the programs start menu. Put a shortcut for any program you want in the start menu and it will then show up as being selectable in the HTC Home menu
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] m15chief:
I found that... Further investigation showed that I'd broken the xml files. You can tell this pretty easily by getting them on your PC and double clicking them. If they open in Internet explorer looking exactly as they should, they are fine... what I found was editing them with wordpad affected the characters and they didn't open properly in IE. This made clicking the city name not work too.

Once you get the files to open in IE, try editing with Notepad instead.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] linuxidiot:
that is strange, as i did do the changes in notepad. I wonder if I typed something incorrectly. I will check when I get home.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] simonw:
OK in regards to my previous post about removing the scroll bars on the today screen and allowing the HTC home plugin to scroll - in case anyone is interested I found a solution.

1. To minimise the impact of scroll bars by shrinking them - be aware this does affect all applications, but I found that to be beneficial too as with a Hermes you always have the scroll wheel.

Change the thickness of scrollbars

HKLM\System\GWE\cxVScr = 6 (DWORD decimal)

The default is 13 - pick a number, I found 6 to be right for me.

Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons

HKLM\System\GWE\cxHScr = 6 (DWORD decimal)

The default is 13 - pick a number, I found 6 to be right for me.

2. To enable the HTC plugin to scroll instead of being fixed at the top.

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Home

Change 'Type' from 5 to 4

PS. if you want to change the horizontal scroll bars in other applications then here are the keys:

Change the thickness of scrollbars for the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyHScr = 13 (DWORD decimal)

Change the length of scrollbar arrow buttons for the horizontal (bottom) scrollbar arrows:

HKLM\System\GWE\cyVScr = 13 (DWORD decimal)

Hope this is of value to someone...

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] RasnCain:
I must be stupid, but I installed the htc homeplug and I get a plugin on the home screen, but its very basic. I don't see anything about weather or a new theme or anything for today.

I seem to be missing something. I just see people talking about installing the plugin and customizing an .xml file as though it was a theme. Color me a confused newbie.

I am hoping someone can find a way to mod this to either shrink the clock or remove it. I love the concept though.

Ok I got the homeplug installed and working, I got weather working for my city after editing the xml file. Now, I have to ask, but what is up with the HH_MUSIC_ files? It seems like I saw something about a HTC music home screen plugin or something once, and after installing the htc homeplug I see these png image files that would indicate something to that affect but I don't see anything related to actually using or implementing a music player into the home / today screen?

Here Is The Fix For The Weather... For Everyone

Okay, just did this and it worked. PM'd 5 others and they all did the same thing successfully so here go's.

First pick a city in the list that is as close to your location as possible. I'm in Portland Oregon, USA, so I picked San Francisco.

Now Using Total Comander to access the registry go to:

HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings

Now this is the only tricky part. your going to change the data under location but the minute that you tap done it's gonna try to connect & download, YOU MUST TAP CANCEL TO PREVENT IT FROM FREAKING OUT.

I replaced San Francisco, US with Portland, US

Did what I just mentioned above and then proceeded to LocationCode

LocationCode was NAM|US|CA|SAN FRANCISCO

I changed it to NAM|US|OR|PORTLAND

clicked okay and closed everything up. went to my HTCHome screen and tapped on what now said portland, and sure enough, went right to portland's weather.. which naturally is raining... I hate this place. But I love you guys. So, after soft reset, everything was still working and now I can use my weather option.

Hope this helps everyone. And just so I can get it off my chest:

THIS NEWB READS THE THREADS!!!! I CAN'T THANK ALL THE DEVELOPERS, COOKS, AND EVERYONE HERE ENOUGH. IF I WERE RICH I'D CONTRIBUTE MORE BUT I'M STILL WORKING ON THAT.

NOOBS: Please... read the threads... it doesn't take that long and it really is informative, you pick a lot of tips & tricks as well as eventually get a good handle on how these people learned what they know through trial and error. Self taught or by a pro, it's the same process of elimination.

Keep up the good work everyone, see ya all around.

How to modify the date on the HTC Homeplug to say whatever you want

Hey everyone,

I don't know if this has been posted up somewhere but it doesn't matter. I haven't found it anywhere in the forums so I'll type it up anyways. Sorry if its already been discovered. I saw several people asking how to change the date so that it shows what day of the week it is, etc. so I thought this might be of some interest. I tried messing around with it a bit and found out some things. You can use HTCustom 1.5 created by Shadowmite to modify it. Since the date is taken from the system and it uses the Short Date format instead of the Long Date, I thought modifying this might work... and it did. I'm sure it does some registry edits, but I don't know exactly what its doing because I haven't really researched it.

When you open HTCustom, go to the "UI" tab (the second one from the left) and where it says "Short Date Format" enter in "dddd MM/dd/yyyy" (without the quotes, and capitalize the MM or the month wont show). Save the setting and soft reset. It will display something like "Friday 06/29/2007" when it boots back up instead of just "06/29/2007". You can use commas or spaces instead of dashes as separators, or do whatever you want. Typing "MMMM" will give you the full month (e.g. June). You can even type anything you want and it will show words other than the date. Pretty cool that its customizable. Don't know how many words or lines you can fit in there because I'm lazy to try it out and keep soft resetting. Those are my findings for now...

Thanks to Shadowmite for an awesome program!

**EDIT** I think you can have up to 30 characters saying what you want (including letters, spaces, symbols, etc.).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tylr:
Good find Oldominion. One word of caution.... this will impact other applications that look to this registry entry for date / time format such as call history, windows explorer, Resco file explorer, etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] oldominion:
I don't think it will mess things up if you put the long date format, but it might a little bit if you put words in there. I doubt it will screw things up but you can easily change it back to normal. If you decide to mess with it, do so with some caution.

**Has anyone figured out how to re-rout the MMS messages, Text messages, Missed calls icons on the first page to open a different program or open something else in the phone? Would be nice to be able to assign something else to these buttons... Thank you! :D
