[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EtiZimm:
Hi guys!

I have the chinese version of the P9 (DL00). I have tried everything to unlock the bootloader, but the fastboot says:

"failed (remote: command not allowed) ". I have already turned on the "debuging option". The OEM Unlock doesnt show. I have installed hisuite (curious thing, the app always says "device not connected", when actually it is) and the fastboot. It keeps saying "failed (remote: command not allowed) "

Any idea?

Please, i need your help.

Hope for your news.

Thank you :)

After googling around for some days, I didn't find any information about to get the real HTC Wings homescreen on a Tornado, therefore i started this thread with the request for some help.

After few hours we got an install file from the user SGregory to get a nice HTC like feeling in our Tornados.

Requirements:

WM 6 Standard
[HTC Tornado] Noxious Inc.:
Wrong Topic
[HTC Tornado] keff:
Why? I think this is the best place to ask at it would need plugins extracted from wings and modified to work on tornado.
[HTC Tornado] moeava:
I would be interested in this as well
[HTC Tornado] b0gdi:
here is a dump of the wings rom http://rs138.rapidshare.com/files/76078890/imgfs.bin
[HTC Tornado] b0gdi:
i have extracted from the dump the files that i think are from htchome but i don't have any ideea were to put them,
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
I'll give this a work over tonight and give you lovely people a cab ;)

Phil
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
it would be nice if you manage Phil
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
Phil's still around! Cool. Are you still working on a beta 2, Phil?
[HTC Tornado] keff:
Aaaaah, christmas time :) Thank you, Santa Phil :)
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
WOW Thx Phil and all the people who gave a litte to get this work, i really didn't expect this much feedback already. ;)

Very good :)
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
It works! This is the best homescreen plugin ever!
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Share it!:D Where do you put the files? How do you install?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Ah, this is one thing I don't mind having in the main memory, but I still have not installed it
[HTC Tornado] moeava:
Someone please share how to do this.. I've copied the .xml's to the /application data/home folder, but I'm not sure what to do with the rest. I'm able to select HTC for my home screen and it successfully changes, but nothing shows up as all of the other files are not in their correct places.
[HTC Tornado] chribruu:
Patience my friend :p Phil said he's on the job. You'll probably have the homescreen in good time before x-mas :)
[HTC Tornado] aaroninoraa:
For those people that cant wait (like me). Copy all files in the CTHome folder to your windows directory on your sp. You then need to register the two dll files (htchome and htchomesp). You can register the files with wm5_regsvrce.exe. If you search there are many instructions on how to use this program.
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
aaroninoraa

can you export your reg keys about those 2 .dlls and share with us all files(.dll and .reg) so we can do it more easy?
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
I did this work.
[HTC Tornado] b0gdi:
Copy all files in the CTHome folder or HTCHome folder?
[HTC Tornado] gandou63:
Thanks, it works perfectly ! :) :) :)
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
SGregory

Thanks a lot, it works just fine on my Tornado!
[HTC Tornado] b0gdi:
it works but slows down my phone very v v v much. whats the MP3Trimmer thingy from the cab?
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Works great. THANKS Greg.

BTW, anyway of moving the files to SD instead of \Windows...?

Thanks very much

edit

its too slowwwww... I have it uninstalled and kept my own home screen...

thanks anyway!
[HTC Tornado] makler1981:
Thank you very much SGregory!!! It works fine for me.
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
Hi Gregory,

after the installation of the file, the phone shows a considerable performance decrease even outside of the homescreen.

Anyway i would like to thank you for your contribution.....!!!!
[HTC Tornado] maxima00se:
Installed it and it works for me too. It does slow down a little bit, hopefully the pros can take a look at that ;)
[HTC Tornado] nncuong:
HTC Home is ready

HTC Home is ready !

I've patched successful. I'll make it in my cook rom ;)
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I tried it. I could never get the weather to update (through my proxy connection). Had to uninstall since Fizz weather looks nicer to me anyway. Thanks for the effort though!
[HTC Tornado] moeava:
Works good on mine.. so far don't think its slowed it that much... definitely still usable.

Now would it be possible to do the same with the homescreen of the Tmo Shadow
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
Yes, it is possible to use it on T-Mobile Shadow.
[HTC Tornado] moeava:
I'm sorry, you misunderstood me. I want to put the shadow homescreen on my tornado.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Apparently there has been progress on being able to change some of the proprietary (T-Mobile) functions from the Shadow homescreen/appy/thingamabobby to useful stuff, and it looks like they will be able to port it to other smartphones.

Go check at Modaco, that's where all the real Shadow excitement is.

If I decide to continue with smartphone instead of going to the Touch Cruise (touch screens scare me, my job is rough on my phones; my last Razor's paint was half off, wht's left of the OEM paint job looked like a crack prostitute's nail polish). But I'm not sure about The Shadow. It knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men. :eek:
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
Sorry. I've tried to use the Shadow plugin on my phone, but even when I imported all the registry keys, I got only blank screen. Although, I am not saying that it is not possible to port it to another device.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
it slows down the phone, even after you uninstall it. At least that's what I've observed on my phone

+ the wheather doesnt update (at least with 'wap' apn, doesn't go thru the http proxy connection)
[HTC Tornado] dadme:
Try from wheather application menu to update, and after update stop wheather process with celetask, it have a big impact on global performance.
[HTC Tornado] SGregory:
I did new cab. I deleted all unnecessary files ;)
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
Great Gregory THX for the work......I will copy the file at the first page of the thread, there were all this about start...!!
[HTC Tornado] Shiryu:
What exactly have you deleted? ;)

Is it possible to turn of weather plugin? I don't want to pay for Internet connection... Or maybe it is possible to replace it, for example, with BatPlug?
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
You can at least disable the weather plugin's auto update. Click on the weather plugin and go to Menu > Weather Options and disable automatic weather download.
[HTC Tornado] redenjaja:
thanks sgregory for the cab file!
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
Oh i love this one, but i've noticed that the messaging/texting are basicly the same thing (mail/text) is there anyway to replace one of them with the smart monitor battery plugin? :rolleyes:

I've added a Programs shortcut bar below the calender or above it and a Skype shortcut :D

PS: Thanks Gregory for one Awesome Home Screen!
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
The messaging plugin is separate plugin so you just need to take it out from the xml.
[HTC Tornado] maxima00se:
How do you do this?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
You edit the xml file with the the same name as the homescreen. It's in Windows\application data.
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@maxima00se, i used Facade as my programs toolbar. As for Skype, i've copied the lines from it's own XML and into the bottom of the HTC Home XML.

@Exitao, if i post my XML here, will you be able to alter the messaging section to include the battery monitor instead? i tried it myself but managed to ruin the both the messaging and the texting and the call history :(

See the bottom selection is first Messaging, Then Texting and then Call History.

I just want the first or the second to be replaced with the Battery Monitor. Not the whole row.
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
Sefy

you can't do like that cause there can't be 2 different plugins in the same row
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@Luckyfox777, oh that sucks :(

Isn't there any where to put the battery percentage meter on the screen in a way it won't stretch the whole page ?

Allrighty then! i've managed to add the Battery Bar, had to reduce the fonts and that gave me enough space to shove in another plug in :D

However, being the unprofessional that i am, i'm hoping someone can help me in a bit of tweaking! i've attached my new home screen and the xml file in case a person here can help achieve what i want. :rolleyes:

Q1) Is it possible to reduce the font size of JUST the Battery Info ?

Q2) Is it possible to put a separation line between the battery and the calender?

Q3) Is it possible to CENTER the calendar text ?

Thanks in Advance! :cool:

HELP - Plugin

Can the following plugin be on the same row (just ONE line) with THREE different mail items? How!?

EDIT:

What I wanted to do is merge the "msgcount" into one line and display the mail items in one or two lines to save space.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
illi

i don't know for sure, but i think it's impossible :(
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I've included the XML for my "Skype HTC Home w/Battery" Home Screen :rolleyes:

Not sure if it will interest anyone, but i'm pretty satisfied with what i've done :D

I've included all the backgrounds to make it "fully vista like" in both Portrait and Landscape, but please note, the XML points to those backgrounds on "\Storage Card\Application Data\Home" to save some space :cool:

This will give you the Awesome "HTC Home" done by Gregory! plus the Facade (required!) Programs Bar, Battery Plugin (required!) and Skype (do i really need to say it ? :p )

PS: In Landscape mode, you'd need to scrool down to see the Batter/Skype and it will not look too nice, but then again, i'm not much of a home screen designer so don't shoot me!
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
If you check the SBSH Facade forums, I think someone did something like that with SmartMonitor. It's the Pearl theme.
[HTC Tornado] giangi72:
This is my home

[HTC Tornado] giangi72:
Just a little question:

I set the "Favourite People"

I go in "Favourite People" section

Is it possible to call directly that people using shortkeys?

Thanks
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@giangi72, i think you just need to assign a short key to the person, it's a basic function of the phone itself:cool:
[HTC Tornado] gandou63:
Modify HTC HomeScreen

If you want to modify HTC homescreen without any knowledge about XML you can use this very simple software View attachment home_screen_editor_smp.cab.

I've tried it successfully and add fring plugin.
[HTC Tornado] smartamazing:
...Working Great on my HTC Tornado thanks a lot SGregory....but I have a little favor can you change the HTC logo located on the bottom right of the homescreen into white luminous color like of that digital clock it would be nice if its really visible please....
[HTC Tornado] giangi72:
Thanks Sefy for the tip.

Now all works.
[HTC Tornado] bipinsen:
I like the screens in Sefy's post. The first ones I'd seen were all black and white or grayscale, and it looked pretty gloomy. I like color!! Lots of it. :D
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@bipinsen, thanks! it's nice to be appriciated! considering i'm not much of a home screen maker :rolleyes:

I just figured that our whole WM6 ROM is based on Vista, so why not use a real Vista Background and modify it as background?! it gives the phone a bit more of a pazaz to it! :D

I can upload an updated XML if you want :cool:
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Guys I have a feedback, when i use WLM, it adds the Live services to the home screen, and when im using HTC Home, it adds it ON TOP of the clock, instead of bottom, how do I configure the XML files so that it adds it to the bottom?
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
Try doing it a different way. Look at the following image.

The way he does it is by having images in the background/wallpaper that look like icons, but are just covered over with images to denote status.

<!-- Messaging Plugin -->

<plugin clsid="{2F930BF0-6FE9-4a53-9E17-88E9247BAB48}" name="SMScount" height="11">
<label bgcolor="transparent" font-weight="bold" font-size="14">

<format state="selected" x="77" y="0" fgcolor="#FFFFFF"/>

</plugin>

<!-- Smart Monitor: -->
<plugin clsid="{05E393E9-1712-41ac-B9D3-533B52F10A36}" name="SmartMonitor" height="25" b-border-width="0" selectable="false">

<battery x="35" y="0" color="#FFFFFF">{life-percentage}%</battery>
<meterbar x="199" y="0" image-full="\Application Data\Home\Pearl\signal_full.jpg" image-empty="\Application Data\Home\Pearl\signal_empty.jpg" bar-direction="left-right" type="signal-strength"/>
<signal x="180" y="0" color="#FFFFFF">{strength-percentage}%</signal>
</monitor>
</plugin>

Notice the images are all located at 0 on the y axis.

It doesn't give you a message count, but it gives you a message waiting alert.

You're GREAT! Thanks for taking so much trouble to get me this piece of info. I really am grateful..

THANKS:cool:
[HTC Tornado] illi:
Any Cab-expert here who can create one that will force installation to SD Card?
[HTC Tornado] illi:
@karhoe

home_screen_editor_smp; posted by someone here yesterday will help you move plugins around your xml file. do a search. sorry I cant remember which forum but it was definitely in Tornado Forum.

Thanks

Edit:

thread 56 - download from there
[HTC Tornado] DAK ATTACK!:
I have a really weird problem with the plugin.

At first everything was working really fine but once I restart my device (or switch it off and on again) the 'Favorite People' never works again until I reinstall the cab (either one).

The 'my people' app loads and then two seconds later closes....

....anybody else sees this or knows of a fix??
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I would suggest trying to re-install it... i know it's not much of a help... but you never know... :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
The my people app caused my contacts to freeze up. So I uninstalled it. It needs work.

Overall, I didn't find it too slow. My phone is overclocked though...

I added the Facade plugin below w/o the the programs tab/bar and it looked pretty good. However... The clock and main icons could do with being slightly smaller. It seems to waste space.
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I've been thinking (yes i know, i shouldn't, but it happened! :D ) if anyone here knows how to really use the Facade plugin properly, is it possible to have a TAB of Skype, a Tab of Live Messenger and a Tab of QIP (ICQ for Mobile).

Would be really nice to have that, but i don't know how to do the tabs :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] nav1:
No it is not possible to add new tabs with plugins such as skype. The only plugin that can be added to the tab is Facade launcher.
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
Ahhhh sucks! but oh well, i use Skype most anyway :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] aaroninoraa:
Change text colour?

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the colour of the text above the time, weather and fav's from grey to something else? There is nothing obvious in the windows directory, or xml and it is unresponsive to colour scheme changes. I had a poke around the dll's but I dont really know what (or where) to look for. There is a htc home customiser in other forums but it does not recognise this version of the plugin.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
I would suggest you PM aaroninoraa for help with home screen making, that dude knows everythi...

Oops. Nevermind. :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
need help

hi i cant install this file in my qtek 8310 is becose i have wm5 or somethin please help me

sorry for my bad english

amir :confused:
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
@bestever, i'm not sure, but i think you need "Windows Mobile 6" to have this working. You can use the WM6 rom update v3.4 which is available, but i first recommend you read all about it. :rolleyes:
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
yes i can but i still have warranty on my 8310 so i think that if i have wm6 on it the warranty will disipear
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I have 3 more years warranty, didn't stop me :D
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
so you just install it and the waranty disipear but i maybe want to sel itt so can the bayer se that the waranty has disipear.

thanks for the answers
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
pleas answer me ned fast answers

can the bayer see that the warranty have disipeard

thanks
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I don't know, after all, you CAN flash it back to original ROM, there would be no difference. I think warranty is on the hardware, not the software part :cool:
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
thanks for the answers so you mean that when i have wm6 and flash it back the warranty will go back :eek: thats realy niiiice:)
[HTC Tornado] Sefy:
I suggest you ask the place you bought the phone from, personally i don't think there should be a problem. Since a lot of suppliers provide ROM update themselfs so there shouldn't really be a problem to flash, you can always flash back like i said ;)
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
please neeed help with super cid i cant super cid my phone to flash it to wm6 help me plaese
[HTC Tornado] Over Achiever:
Is there a way I can edit the programs the 3 notification areas point to? I want to change the texting button to point to Extreme Text, and the missed call button to point to call history instead of missed call history =) I'm poking around the xml file now.
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
There's a registry entry where you can change your default txt app to your app.
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
thanks for your effort! it's just a great homescreen, especially enhanced with facade!
[HTC Tornado] WiMax:
Thanksssss
[HTC Tornado] decimusmaximus7:
I am having the same problem and I just did a hard reset and then re-installed and the same thing. Did you ever get yours fixed?

UPDATE: Seems to have fixed itself. No problems now.
[HTC Tornado] decimusmaximus7:
Can the font on the clock be changed? I like the alien round font that I am currently using on my kaiser's htc home plugin.
[HTC Tornado] qmatteoq:
Hi, and thanks for your work, I googled a lot for this home plugin for my HTC S710! I have only a question: accessin the SMS section using the icon in the home screen is very slow, it takes about 5-10 seconds to open it. If i open using the normal menu screen, instead, the problem doesn't occur.

Do anyone have any idea about how to fix this?

Thanks!
[HTC Tornado] qtek_metanol:
How does it looks like?? could you paste a screenshot from it..??

Known issue, unfortunately i have my Tornado out of work. I was pretty busy on the last weeks and i leave him with a ROM test from Dr.Gonzo somewhere around my office
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
my phone gets slow when i have this can i fix it in some way
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
yes you can fix it by reading the whole theme or at least few last pages, and then you will realize smth about fixing this issue
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
ive reade the hole tread and finded it somewere in the midle

thanks
[HTC Tornado] Luckyfox777:
bestever it's a huge progress for you, keep it the same(i mean reading threads from this forum)
[HTC Tornado] glennza:
I have created a green segment set for the original grey HTC homescreen. Makes it look like an old LED clock. Basic but effective

Let me know what you think.
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
can you show os some pictures
[HTC Tornado] glennza:
Read my post!!!! If you can tell me how to do a printscreen on my phone, I will show you how it looks.

It's like the image on page one but the clock is green!
[HTC Tornado] bestever:
you can use smarttoolkit to take piktures its a freeware

Hi.

I need put Facade´plugin FacadeSchedule (this is very good) in HTC Home plugins.

Thanks again
[HTC Tornado] markanthonypr:
Search forum for Home Screen Editor, once installed, run program, open one of the default home screens, highlight the "startmru", press Options.. "Add to Favorites", then open the homescreen you want to add it to... OPTIONS... "ADD NEW PLUGIN" and chose the one you just saved to favorites. Position it where you want it.... Then OPTIONS.... SAVE AS... either keep the same name home screen name or give it a new one.
[HTC Tornado] LeoArg:
I do It, but not function, the Plugin don´t see in the desktop :(
[HTC Tornado] zoltansz:
Hi, I have not yet checked the source of this homescreen, but

- does it support displaying the MRU by modifying the XML?

- can it display more than one line of upcoming calendar entries? There's a lot of space behind the only one.

- can you go up to the first row to select a specific weekday on the wheather part?

- can you go up to the first row to select any of your favorite people (I mean not clicking the middle line to launch the app)?

For the last one I do hope there is a solution since there is a big placeholder for the photo of the selected favorite person but that's empty on all screen captures.

Thanks, Z
[HTC Tornado] zoltansz:
I see. HTC Home plugin takes just the upper side of the screen and I can put anything below that, such the next appointment plugin as shown here.

OK, it answers my first 2 questions. Anything for the 3rd and 4th?
[HTC Tornado] glennza:
I've got a pain-in-the-ass bug with the HTC homescreen. I have installed FlexMail as my mail client and when it installs it asks if you want FlexMail to be your default client. Even though I said 'yes', the mail indicator on the HTC homescreen still takes you to the MS mail client.

I have searched through the registry trying to find how the HTC homescreen button is link to the applications but I can't find anything to alter that makes it work.

I found the link for the "Mail" key on the keypad (i-Mate SP5) and now that opens FlexMail.

If anyone knows how to change the homesceen links, I would be very grateful :)
