Cabs

Attached to this thread are the cabs i used to accomplish what is in the above post.

Theme Install

Unzip and drop the Vista theme in your Windows directory on you phone. Navigate to Start\Settings\Today and change your theme to Vista Black WM6

Audio Manager Install

Drop the Audio Manager Cab on your phone or storage card and install as usual. I installed on phone. (Works with no known Issues)

Touch Dialer Skin

Drop the Wizard ReTouched Dialer Cab on your phone or storage ard and install as usual. I installed to phone. Soft reset and you should have a new dialer.

Touch Calculator Skin

Drop cab on phone or storager card as usual. Install to phone. Open Calculator and it should be skinned like the Touch Calculator.

WMP Touch Skin

Unzip files to a folder in your desktop. Open that folder and select all and copy. Navigate through active sync to the path of \Program Files\Windows Media Player on your phone and paste the files there. Then open up Windows Media Player on your phone it should open to your library hit the back button it will take you to the player. Go to menu and select options navigate to the skins tab and you should be able to switch to your new theme by selecting the arrow button.

HTC Home

Do the usual drill in copying it to your phone. Install program to the phone. This installs the 6 button Home plugin. This is the older 1.5 plugin in so the weather tab is not functional until you modify the dll to update from the new server. Only bug that i found is that the brightness toggle and screen rotation locked up the phone. But i used the HHC program to customize the plugin and I omitted those buttons and replaced with programs i frequently used. I will post the tutorial on how to get the weather working (FOR US ONLY)

Install the Home DLL Patcher. This will update the HTC Home program to update the weather from the new servers. Then open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.zip and unzip it to your desktop. Open the HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml file in notepad and you will see a line like this <city name="Carrollton, US" loca="30117" land="United States" />Copy this line and paste it directly under the line you copied. This is the line that you will modify to add you custom city. Lets say I wanted to add ATLANTA GA as a custom city I would change it to be like this <city name="Atlanta, US" loca="30331" land="United States" />

The loca="30331" is the zip code that you will replace with your own.

The city name="Atlanta, US" is the the city name you will replace.

Once you add your custom cities. Save the file. Take the file you saved and place it in the windows folder on your phone and soft reset you phone. Now when you configure your HTC home plugin your city will show.

The Comm Manager is a replacement for the Kaiser but since our phones arent technically a smartphone anymore but they are viewed as Pocket PC by software installs we can use this updated Comm Manager. Put the cab on your phone and install as usual. Soft reset is recommended but not required. Now that the Comm Manager is installed next install the CM Settings program. This program will allow you to remove and add buttons on the new Comm Manager. It has a small foot print but you can remove it after the mod is made. Open CM Settings. It will say something like do you want to use an 8 or 10 button Comm Manager. Select 8. Using Fake Cursor navigate to the left side of the screen and select the middle Comm Manager it will turn GREEN. Navigate to the right side of the screen and select Flight Mode, Phone, Bluetooth, Mirosoft Direct Push, Data Connection, Ringer, Active Sync, and Wireless Modem. Deselect anything else like WIFI etc (You done have MS Direct Push installed but its kinda filling the last space on the Comm Manager since it is an 8 Button one. Otherwise it will give you an error message when you try to apply without it. Go to menu and apply settings. Select no on applying the default settings. You will get a confirmation that settings were applied. Exit out of the program and open up your Comm Manager and you should have 8 Buttons with MS Direct Push greyed out but all other buttons should work flawlessly.
