Hello

patched now successfully with N2A-Pacher.

needed to copy htchome.dll into tools directory.

patch gave me an error due to the first copy-Command but created cab-file.

cab-File worked as expected.

Now i get weather of my home town.

THANK YOU for providing tool and server.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Copying htchome.dll into the tools directory shouldn't work! I'm sure I put things in to stop it working unless it's in the right folder... *boggles*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
No worries, I know the feeling. I truly appreciate you taking the time out for this. Thank again
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoomy942:
so, i have been using this for a while and i came back to this thread and now something is being deactivated on your server? you had said that our phones wouldnt work with the weather anymore.. but mine still works fine... am i missing something?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Bruincdc:
ok...im trying this with a Kaiser/TyTnII, Dutty's V4rtm ROM......tried to use the patcher, it gave me the report that the dll file was already patched....so i did the XML edit and put it back on my phone and now i cant even get any city to refresh. Any ideas? I have read many replies here....didnt see any for Dutty's rom's.

Thanks in advance.

GPRS problem WM5

Got this line from weather.not2advanced.com about de HTC Home plug in:

'There is also a version for WM5 below, but this doesn't seem to update over GPRS - if someone can provide one that does, I'll happily patch that too.'

Has anyone found a solution yet for this GPRS-problem??

Peter
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
It was noted a couple of pages ago that it's specific to WM5 AKU 2.2 - AKU 2.3 works properly. If you can get a WM5 update, you might be in luck. But it's something internal to WM5 AKU 2.2.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoomy942:
Hey there N2A..

i love the app, you already know that but i have something to report for everyone. Myself and may others have confirmed a large memory leak with HTC Home and Windows Mobile 6.1. I have been trying to isolate it, but with no luck so far.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chaznet:
The plugin is great -- but how can I re-hook-up the HTC Media Manager with the Today screen plugin? It now works with WMP -- not a big deal, but I prefer HTC-MM for use with the Today screen. Registry entry...?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edsub:
In addition on N2A's remark:

The WM5 version will NOT update over GPRS/3G, unless you are using an AKU3.3 ROM. WM5 Weather update over GPRS has been proven with Wizard AKU3.3 (like the T-Mobile or WM5SEr5). Other devices/ROM's still to be confirmed.

I changed that in the initial post.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] pgee:
AKU 2.3 or 3.3

Thanks for the advise,

I searched for WM5 AKU 2.3 or 3.3 on this forum and with google but it is hard tot find. Can anybody help? My Wizard is a Dutch version.

Pgee
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You're better off asking in the Wizard forum to be honest.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Eek! That's not good. Unfortunately, of course, there's not a lot I can do about it, I just hack the DLLs that come my way. Here's hoping we get a new version about that doesn't have the leak!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
There is one... but I can't remember what it is. I believe the HTC Home Customizer can do it though?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] zoomy942:
its a shame my friend. i love htc home. oh well, here's to hoping for a newer version eventually! :o
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
Hey N2A, was wondering if you had a chance to look at the attached file? I am having trouble running your app on my htchome. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Okay, I've checked it - the reason you can't patch it is because it's already patched to use my server! If you want to use this DLL, you need to use the packager, not the patcher. But if it came off your device, then you're already patched up.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mavpro:
Hi!

I have succeeded in getting the "HTC Home" work on my S 710. Is there a tweak for the 710 like it is for the Kaiser?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
You don't need to. Get the universal patcher package, unzip it, get the \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll from your device, put it in the folder that says "put your DLL here", and run the patcher batch file. It'll magically create you a patcher cab. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
I will use the packager and try this. Only thing I installed was the SDK Certificates as you had mentioned. Not sure what I did to have it already patched. :confused:Thanks and will keep you posted.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
Tried the packager. The cab was successful. I installed the new DLL with the Home disabled. Re-started the phone and the Home was enabled but the weather did not work. No errors in the batch file. I am attaching the new Home DLL. Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gatto79:
i have the same problem. can maybe someone patch me the file and mail it to me
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Okay. What phone network are you on, and are you running WM5 or WM6?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If someone else patches the file, it's not going to make a difference, that's what the universal patcher does.

Again, what network are you on, what's your device running, do you have full web access, do you have to access the internet via a wap proxy server, etc etc...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
T-Mobile USA and running WM6
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Aha. Let me guess - cheap on-phone web access type tariff?

It doesn't work on the cheap tariff. I don't know why, it just doesn't. There's been a lot of discussion about it in the thread.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
There's been talk both ways. In another forum, a T-Mobile USA user got it to work with the patch that you provide. I guess I will post there and see if they did something else beyond that. Thanks for your help and time. I will keep checking back to see if someone finds a way for it to work on T-Mobile

I downloaded this to my Cingular 8125 aka Wizard, but the weather won't update, and I MIGHT have installed the WM5 cab before the sdk certs, I'm just not certain. The problem I have now is that I cannot fully uninstall the htc homeplug in order to redo things in the proper order. Is there any thing I can do besides a hard reset? I have a lot of settings, to do a hard reset would be significantly painful. Perhaps I'm missing something that is exclusive to cingular/AT&T? Perhaps a new dll specific to this device would work? I'm using the stock WM5 ROM, nothing fancy.

Thanks it worked

thanx N2A... Im running the Home plugin on my ATT 8525... the patch definitely worked for my weather here in West Lafayette, IN...Thanx :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] tenizkid:
N2A, T-Mobile is aware of this issue with the HTC Touch. They said that the 5.99 plan does not open the port required for the Weather update. However, the 19.99 plan allows it since it is the full internet package and opens all ports. If you have anyone asking for this to work using the T-Mobile 19.99 plan, they should contact T-Mobile PDA Support as they should be able to connect for updates. Hope this helps. Thanks again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] galaxys:
I'm on the T-Mobile 19.99 internet plan and this weather fix has been working for some time. Note, that I did NOT have to call tmobile support to do anything for it to work.

need help

hello,

first i have to apologize for my bad english, i´m from germany and didn´t speak english for about 4 years now.

i´m reading this thread for a few month, but everytime i try to manage this, i don´t get it.

i got a htc-touch from t-mobile germany.

half an hour ago i did a hard reset and took a look for htchome.dll. there isn´t one in \windows. there´s just a file called HTCHOME.dll.0409.mui. is this the file i have to patch?

before december everything worked fine using pocket hosts... :(

right before this post, i installed sdk certificates, then i tried to use the htc touch dll replacement file. cause this didn´t work i installed HTC Home (Touch version, 3-tab, WM6). this way it didn´t work either.

i tried the way you have written in the step-by-step guide. still nothing...

i have to confess, i´m i little bit ( ;) ) confused.

would you please help me?

Michael

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HardRoc:
Just got the patcher working and the patched dll worked on my Touch Cruise...here's what I did:

1. Copied over the HTCHome.dll file and made sure it was not read-only.

2. Copied the file to the tools directory and renamed to unpatched.dll

3. Edited the n2a-patcher.bat file to remove the line deleting unpatched.dll. Basically changed the first line of the :htchomeok to read "rem IF EXIST tools\unpatched.dll del tools\unpatched.dll"

4. Run n2a-patcher.bat and viola, it works.

For some reason it seems the HTCHome.dll for the Touch Cruise stock ROM fails the "is it a patched dll" test even though it isn't patched. So far, this is working for me so I'm pretty sure there needs to be an edit for the check for Touch Cruise files.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
That's really weird. Can you post the DLL? I'll analyse what's happening, and fix the patcher.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Hi.

I disabled the pocket hosts method a while ago, as it was far from perfect.

You'll find your \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll if you enable "Show all files and folders" in Windows Explorer. This can be found under Tools, and Folder Options, then View, under "Hidden fioles and folders", and possibly disable "Hide protected operating system files". (You'll have to translate that to German, I'm sure it'll have a localised equivalent.) You'll then be able to see the \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll file on your device.

At some point in the near future, I'm going to write a version that automatically fetches the file from the device if possible, auto-patches it, and automatically sends it back to the device, but it's finding time to do it recently! I'll see what I can do this weekend.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cbrmichi:

anything i can do...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
If it's on accuweather.com, you can use it. If it's not, there's not a lot I can do I'm afraid. But search accuweather, and see if you can get the code.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] emkorial:
Looks like after about an hour I finally got it working.

One thing I had to do to get it to work: When I pulled the HTCHome.dll out of the HTCHome folder, and patched it, the cab ploped it into my Windows folder. I had to then copy the DLL in the Windows folder and overwrite the one in the HTCHome folder. After that, it seems like it's working (the temperatures seems to be a degree or so off accuweather, but I can live with that)

This is on a Sprint Mogul running WM6

oh nooooooo! my device is locked and my hours are on there..

ok.. this is reall really really bad... I use my starcom to keep track of my hours.. since I downloaded february.. but left march on there as it wasnt finished.. and now .. since trying to run the patch from here. http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/ my device is now jammed on the default windows mobile 6 green screen. I am running a UTSTARCOM PPC 6700

this is what i did..

disabled the HTC home from settings/today/items (mine is in a rom)

installed SDKCerts.cab

installed HTC_Touch_HOME_PLugin_N2a_WeatherPatched.cab (install failed due to permissions?? )

Installed blue-touch3.21-n2a.cab (successful)

soft restart

HTC Home is still in the items list, but no longer active...

Unistalled from add/remove programs the blue-touch3.21-n2a.cab

soft restart

now i am just stuck on the green windows mobile screen

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can anyone help me out here. I have no idea how to get around this. I tried to follow those directions and now am completely ****ed. Right now I could care less about the weather.. I just desperately need to access my data.

PS: I can't phone it either.. it won't even do that.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] HardRoc:
Sorry, I've already patched the dll and I didn't save the original since the patch worked. I'd have to hard reset to get it again, though considering how much I play around with this thing that might be in about 3 days... ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Er, why did you install the blue touch ROM HTC patch? That was for a very specific ROM, and you certainly shouldn't have been putting it on your device.

The instructions are quite clear - you're supposed to get your existing htchome.dll file, use the universal device patcher on it, and install back to your phone.

Unfortunately, there's not a lot I can do here, except hope that you did what you should always do when installing software, which is keep backups. The only way you're going to get that back, methinks, is with a hard reset...

HTC Touch brightness fix?

Hi there.

Tried both HTC Home 2.1 WM6 with and without Hermes brightness fix. Brightness button doesn't work at least in spanish HTC Touch.

Is there any fix for that?

Thank you very much.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Um, a touch isn't a hermes, so the hermes brightness fix won't work. To be honest though, no idea, I don't have a touch, and I haven't had that much to do with the plugin itself, I just hack it to use my server.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] regystro:
Got it fixed

My fault. I arrived here just googling and didn't notice this thread is for Hermes.

Anyway I found the solution. Something to do with a DLL

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] N2A:
Uninstall the DLL, reboot phone when asked, get the universal patcher, copy your \WINDOWS\HTCHome.dll into the folder which says copy your DLL here, run the patcher, and install the cab it generates. That should work, providing you've installed sdkcerts.cab first.

cannot copy file, access is denied. be certain that there is enough free storage memory, that the destination is not write protected and the file is not currently in use.

Why wont it let me copy the file if i have closed htc home. and how can i get write access to the windows directory?

Copied from PocketEmu.com/forums:

Hello everyone. I am recently new to the Mobile PC world. My wife and I stumbled on a great deal with ALLTEL to get 2 HTC Touch phones as a package. We brought them home and soon after I was introduced to this website from ppcgeeks.com. I looked through pages and pages of downloads and upgrades people were doing and found a HTC Home Customizer v1.0 final by EMU. It was exactly what we wanted. Remember I have 2 of the exact phones and we wanted to customize it so we wouldn't grab the wrong phone as we went out the door. With that said We were EXTREMELY pleased with your(EMU) software. But we had a problem. Our weather showed our city but it never updated. It kept saying 2 hours ago....3 hours ago....etc. So looking some more into the fix I found the home plugin v2.1 (by XDA-Developers), it was linked on emu's site, that would fix the problem. Not only did it fix the issue but it gave me 6 tabs now on the home page vs the 5 that the customizer gave me. AWESOME! However I had 1 more problem. The customizer would not override the icon,clock,background settings set onto the today page no matter what I clicked on on the HHC program. It "showed" the changes on the adjustment page but when I saved and exited out the Today page was still the stock with 6 tabs. This was not good because we needed the phones to be different. So what I did was reinstall the HHC customizer. It asked me if I wanted to uninstall and reinstall. I picked yes and Voilla! everything works now. weather is updating...My today screen is customized.....and the possibilities are endless on the configurations now.

I wrote this because I was seeing a lot of people having issues with their phones and noone really touched on the touches clearly enough for me. So I hope that if you are having issues like me that you would do some research and hopefully find your answer. Mine came in only 8 hours of searching and downloading. I am no expert. So please take what I say with a grain of salt. I just wanted to pass on the path I took to fix the issues I was having.

Sorry for the book. 4 cups of coffee make me a bit chatty.:)

EMU thanks for the updates!!! XDA you guys Rock too!!! You tech guys rock 100%. Without the likes of you our lives would be boring and we would have to succomb to living with stock settings.
