I just installed Dutty's Hybrids touchflo Rom and thought there was a problem with it. I am glad it is a different problem, I use HHC also and anxiously await your patch so my U.S. Local cities work again!! Thank You.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You could just use one of the cabs, and use HHC to customise... unless it's incompatible. I don't know, I haven't used HHC, but the way I'm doing it doesn't work the same way that HHC does.

I did warn him about this changing a while ago...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Martinjv71:
I will just be able to install your Cab file over my current install and then it should be fine right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If you're using a Kaiser, just use the Kaiser DLL overlay cab from the first post. However, you may have to disable the HHC's weather functions, and/or manually edit the XML file. I'm not sure how the HHC works, as I've never used it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smittyofdhs:
All I did was uninstall the previous home I had (build 2.0), then dowloaded the new 2.1 build from N2A's post, setup the city in the XML file, and it works just fine again,

I am using Emunutz .8b customizer & HomePluginWM6.

It is the one where I can choose either 1,2,3,4,5,or 6 tabs.

I tried using the touch.dll cab but it set my Touch to 3 tabs so that is the wrong one. I reinstalled Emunutz & Home again to get the tabs back.

Should I use Schen's WM6 6 tab customisable? If so, which one is it?

Or should I just wait for your new override cab? TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smittyofdhs:
I used Schen's WM6 6 tab one without brightness fix (I don't use the HTC Home launcher anyways). It's available from the link I submitted above.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] decimusmaximus7:
I did not have to disable HHC's weather functions after installing new cab. I am able to add my custom city using HHC and I did not have to manually edit the XML files. Now my custom city is updating fine again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
Smitty, I went to your link and it seems to be the same thread.

There's 5 cabs on the first page. None states Schen 6 tabs. Which is the one for Schen 6 tabs? I just don't want to use the wrong one and then reinstall everything again if it's wrong. TIA

Latest patched Schen 2.1 HTC Home:

With Hermes/TyTN Brightness Fix: UPX compressed / Uncompressed

For other devices: UPX compressed / Uncompressed

(I offer both just in case there's problems with the compressed versions. There's more files attached below too!)[/QUOTE]

They're all 6-tab versions. I suggest uninstalling the previous HTC home plugin, installing one of those cabs as above to suit yourself, and using your customizer as needed.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
N2A, thanks..I got it to work on both my Touch and mogul

I dl the wrong files. I thought I was suppose to use one of the 5 zip files, the ones with the pictures of the zip. I was wrong.

Now I used :

For other devices: UPX compressed / Uncompressed

and everything is working.

Which download should I apply on my HTC PPC-6800 (WM6) via Alltel? Thanks in advance...:D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
N2A,

Im not sure if its your issue or Emunutz customizer but I came across another issue.

Im using Emunutz customizer .8b with your new htchome 2.1.

When I try to change the city on the custom database it does not let me.

It comes up with the default database cities only.

Before this fix, the custom database would come up not the default database.

Am I doing something wrong?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
try using the compress/uncompress for other device.

You'll need to uninstall your present home plugin first and then run the new dl.

but there seems to be an issue with the custom database if you have that feature with your customizer.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dwehking:
I use ver 1.05b. I used to be able to change the custom cities from the home screen, now I have to open HHC and change the city from there. It's not a deal breaker for me, at least I get my local wx now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
I agree. I had to go back into the HHC ver .8b to change or should I say add the city to the custom database again. Then it would show up on the Home PAge Weather. But that's a pain, not a dealbreaker but a pain whenever I need to change the city. I travel a couple of hours a day between different cities and it was alot easier from the Home Page.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smittyofdhs:
Just add the cities to the weather XML file and you can pick your city from home screen. All I did was add my home town as the first entry in the XML file. Be aware, the syntex is different then the entries already in the XML file. You can get the new syntex format from the thread where you downloaded the patched home cab install. I've done it this way and never have to go into HHC to change cities, I do it all from the plugin now that the XML file hasmy cities in it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
yeah, now I need to use total commander or some type of app to write onto the XML file which I never done. Its was a lot easier to just add it to my custom database. Oh well.......I hope someone will have a fix for this.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] smittyofdhs:
True, you do have to edit the file manually in either some sort of notepad app for the PPC or what I did which is save it to the desktop and alter it with Notepad. I only have about 5 cities I need, so I just added them all at once and then I can just choose what city when I get there.

One Small problem

I installed the new plugin, and made changes to the HH_0409 file. I am able to get the weather for my location, but the weather is dispalyed in Celcius instead of fahrenheit. I used the zip code fix and the name of my city, both give the weather in celcius. Is there a way to change the weather to fahrenheit? Below are the changes I made:

<city name="State College, US"	locationcode="NAM|US|PA|STATE COLLEGE"/>

<city name="State College, US"	locationcode="16801"/>

As I said before both give the weather in celcius.

Not working?

Hmmm....Just can't get this update to work.

I am using a BA (SX66) with PDAVIET rom. xPlode's HTC home 2.1 works fine on my BA, but has stopped updating the weather. So...I decided to update to get my weather function working again.

However, if I install the Schen 2.1 Home plug in, all installs well EXCEPT...I cannot see it on the today screen. It seems to install fine, the tab for HTC home is on the today configuration page, and the checkbox is checked. Still....no display.

I can install the one for WM5, and the weather will update and I can see it fine, but....the customizer does not work. I am stuck with the black/grey/white screen. No colored icons.

FWIW, with the WM5 Home update that is posted at the beginning of this thread, I CAN get weather by using GPRS on my SX66.

So...what am I doing wrong? Does anyone have any ideas why I cannot get the Schen 2.1 update to work? Or is there another fix I can use?

Thanks,

HCII
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Is that a WM5 or WM6 device? Did you put the SDKCerts.cab file in?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] hcii:
It is a WM6 device, and I have installed the SDKCerts.cab file.

For some reason, it will simply not show on my today screen. All of the other buttons (config, etc) are where they should be. I have checked the HTC Home box, disabled and then re-enabled but still not showing.

Like I said...the only problem with the WM5 update is that I cannot customize it at all.

Thanks

Nope....Original one does not work either.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
In that case, it's an issue with the overall plugin, rather than my patches.

N2A,

I posted earlier that the custom database doesn't work anymore from the Home Page. It only brings up the default database. I took the plunge and modified the XML file and it worked after many tries to get it to be recognized. There were an extra line of code the came up at the beginning of the file when I copied and pasted it to the notepad so after some trail and error I deleted the first line of code and it worked. But is there a way that the custom database come up on the Home Page instead of the default one if the custom database is selected in the plugin? TIA
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I don't entirely understand. What are you talking about, default database / custom database? Which plugin?

If you're using one of my cab files, make sure you're editing it as 8-bit unicode (Notepad can do it, as can Crimson Editor, and various other editors), and make sure it goes back in \HTCHome (unless you're using one of the overlay DLLs which goes into \WINDOWS.)

Hope that helps, but I'm a bit unclear as to what you're struggling with.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] henk-jan:
N2A: thanks a lot, it works great, just by changing the .dll An annoying problem solved :-)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] kcaegis45:
Sorry for any confusion. Let me clarify

Im using Emunutz .8b customizer and your new plugin (HTCHome 2.1 with weatherfix). In the customizer, you can choose either a default or custom database. In the custom database, one can add cities that are not in the default database. And then choose custom database as the database that would show up on the Home Page when one wants to change the city. Then the weather would show up on the Home Page.

Since changing to your plugin, even if I selected to use the custom database from Emunutz customizer .8b, the default list of city show up on the Home Page.

This might not be a issue with your plugin and it might be Emunutz's customizer that is causing this. I don't know. I am just wondering if you know about this and maybe, just maybe, you have a fix.

I mentioned about the XML file because instead of using the custom database, one can add cities by modifying the XML file (default database) which I did. Now since I modified the XML file, I don't need the custom database anymore. But it was alot easier just adding cities to the custom database as oppose to rewriting/add/modifying the XML file.

Hope this explains it. And again thanks for the fix, that was the major issue. This is just a minor inconvenience.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Sounds like the customizer is altering one in \WINDOWS, not \HTCHome. You need to talk to the person who wrote the customizer about that to be honest. I'm guessing that's the issue though - if it lets you switch you'll be fine if you can set it to \HTCHome.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Thanks for all of the work you've done with this, NA2! I'm a new Sprint Touch owner and had been using your old direct IP access method of getting my local weather for the past few weeks. Now that no longer works so I just tried your Touch dll cab. Although it loaded fine I noticed that it only has 3 tabs...the 4th tab that controls Sound (Normal, Silent, Vibrate, and Automatic options) is not there, and so I assume that is because the original non-USA Touch didn't have that and was the basis for your Touch cab. I haven't read any mention of this 4-tab version in this forum thread, but if I've missed it could you tell me which one to use? People have also been mentioniong a 6-tab version...does that work with the Sprint Touch, and what features do these tabs offer in addition to the 4-tab?

Also, the Touch dll cab didn't allow me to select a city...that whole screen was just blank (no cities filled in below the data entry box). I verified that the cities xml file still contained entries, and when I unstalled your app the original is still working just fine. Did I do something wrong? Oh, and yes I did also load the SdkCerts.cab.

Or, as you mentioned in the quote above, will you be releasing something else soon that I should just wait for?

Thanks again!

Weather Update not working

I had been having the same problem for several days. Could not connect to update the weather. When I finally had the time to sit down and look into. I deleted, made sure there was nothing in the registry, and then reinstalled. It still didn't work. Then I came across this thread and tried Schen's 2.1. I didn't want to go through the work of changing the codes. So I checked Emunutz's website and saw others having the same problem also. I tried Emunutz's new HTC Home Customizer v1.0 Beta 5 and it fixes the problem. The interface is also much more conveinent to than the old version. It is similar to the Advanced Configuration Tool now. It can be downloaded at the link below. Just install it like the older v0.8.

http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html

I'm currently using N2A's SdkCerts.cab, Schen's 2.1 6-tab HTC Home, and Emunutz's HHC V1.0 Beta 5

ATT 8525

Sakajati's HCLite 3.62 and radio1.54.07.00

BTW: Much Praise to the work of N2A, Schen, and Emunutz and anyone else involved. It's very appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Thanks for your response Dan.308 and the pic of the 6-tab home!

The HHC looks great, but on the site that you linked to it doesn't show the Sprint Touch (HTC Elf?) as a supported device. Has anyone else safely been able to use it with this device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
I wasn't aware there *was* a 4-tab version - I'm guessing it was the 6-tab with 2 tabs disabled (music and profiles). You guessed correctly about the Touch DLL - it's the original 3-tab that came with the original Touch.

What I could do with, if you want a patched version of your 4-tab version, is a copy of your HTCHome.dll from \WINDOWS - I can then patch it to use my server.

Edit: Is the 4-tab from the new Touch Dual?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dwehking:
I have the HHC installed on my Sprint Touch. See post #764 above, I have the exact same issues since applying schen's plugin ver 2.1. It works, you just have to go into HHC each time to change a custom WX location instead of from the Home screen like before.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
No (though the Dual may have it too since it is coming out after the Sprint Touch), it looks as if it is from the HTC Vogue which was rebranded as the Sprint Touch as mentioned in this link (and several reviews I've seen since it released November 4th): "... But non-tech people may not even know that the Vogue is the CDMA Touch on Sprint, and Sprint calling it Touch does not help the matter either."

Here is a page with some good pics of what each of the four tabs offers (and is part of a very comprehensive review of this device, if anyone is interested).

Thanks dwehking...I'll try to find time to give this a try over the weekend.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying that, it wasn't half confusing me! Looks like that particular home plugin is missing the music tab and favourite people tabs.

Hi,

I just found out that on SFR you can get the weather if you configure the default internet connection to websfr and not wapsfr. Now the inconvenient is that IE doesn't work well anymore.

Is there a way to configure the weather plugin to connect to the internet using a specific configuration ?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:

I saw the replies that you said you would patch the HTC Home Plug-in for us Sprint Touch users. I used the 6 tab version but I liked the yellow that sprint uses for its icons instead of the blue it installs. So, I was wondering if you patched it? I looked at the files to see if it was there but couldnt find it. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
success

Thanks for your offer, N2A...much appreciated. However, I loaded the Schen version from post #1 as you suggested and am LOVING the 6-tabs! (and I don't mind the blue tinge that is now being used vs. the Sprint gold/yellow tinge) So I'm going to pass on the 4-tab patch for now.

And thanks for the tip about modifying the cities xml file in HTCHome directory versus the Windows directory copy of the file that I had modified before using the direct IP address technique. After a soft reset I now have my local weather again (which is VERY appreciated since the closest supported city is 233 miles away from my city!). Can't thank you enough...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hiya,

I can't patch it unless someone publishes the \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll from the Sprint Touch (aka Vogue). If someone wants to zip and attach a copy to a post, I'll patch and sign it...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] SprintTouchGuy:
Messaging app not opening

I just went to go grab it to post for you, but I see the HTCHome.dll is dated 11/21/07, so I'm guessing that this isn't the original that you are looking for. I can uninstall and see if I get the original back, but I'll wait to see if any other Sprint Touch users still have the original that they can post before trying that.

The reason I'm interested in this now is that I no longer can open my email (Messaging) app by any means (from the home or from the shortcut in Programs). I had read either in previous posts here or in another forum that others had a problem like this and saw a workaround of adding a POP account so that it would open properly, but I can't even open the Messaging to try adding a POP account. Has anyone else seen this? This is much worse than not having local weather, but I'd prefer not to go back to the original 4-tab home. I'll keep searching other posts in the mean time. Thanks...
