Anyone Know How To Add Progs To The "HTCHOMEPLUG"

[mikewchandler]

Anyone know how? Thanks :) BTW, this is the today plugin that shows a few shortcuts (comm manager, battery, etc...) that htc provides on the newest rom that came on my trinity.

It is not pretty hard, but you need to change te register.
Open the register with a register editor (I use Resco register editor).
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\.

You will find two maps (2, 3).
If you want to create a new shortcut add a new key (name it "4").
In the key you need to add:
a string LaunchApPath -> point this string to the program
a string ResPath -> point this to the program or dll that contains the icon
a dword iconindex -> some executable files and dll's contain serveral icons. The normal value is 0, but it depends on the exe/dll file.

Example for adding Internet Explorer button.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\4]
"iconindex"=dword:00000000
"ResPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\iexplore.exe"


Good luck

Can anyone export and post the reg tree for the plugin along with the DLL its uses?

I would like to install this on my other devices.

I would like to install this on my other devices.Here are the files.

I don't know if the plugin uses more dll files.
Give it a try.

I add RegSvrCe.exe to register the dll if needed.

Good luck.

Excellent - Thanks

I will give this a go later and post back how I get on.

Can you also provide HTCICON.DLL from the windows dir?

I added HTCICON.dll, please download the file again ;)

i hate that plug.. I disabled it quickly :D I use PHM traylaunch =)

[vdias]

traylaunch on a wm05????

[Guybrush]

like this...........

[adewidt]

i hate that plug.. I disabled it quickly :D I use PHM traylaunch =)I Agree, the only advantage is that you can use the plug-in with your scrollwheel. That is not possible with traylaunch.

not at all... with scroll you can go into traybar and after u can use joypad to scroll application there.

[anonimo]

What the guy means is that the scroll wheel moves between items in the HTC plug-in so it's easier to use with one hand.

EDIT: Ops I was wrong. Even with the HTC plug-in you need the joypad to move from one icon to another....

[adewidt]

not at all... with scroll you can go into traybar and after u can use joypad to scroll application there.
You're right, this wasn't possible on WM2003 :) .
In that case the HTCHomePlug is even more useless ;)

[doedoe]

The HTC plugin is easier to use with a finger... Traylaunch has to be activated with a stylus.

no, you can use scroll wheel to activate it and after choose application with dialpad not need stylus... HTC plugin use a lot of useful space in today =)

[mikewchandler]

Thanks guys. I figured this out the other night and forgot I started this thread. :( Anyway, what I was trying to do is figure out how to add the "memory" shortcut to get straight to the task manager from that plugin and I finally figured it out. Thanks again :D

[horatio.pants]

Care to share your method... if it's different from what's already posted.

[mikewchandler]

It's the same...exactly. The only quirk was adding the memory app. I had to have the cpl shortcut....then it was the same.

[qualcomm]

Just a reminder, don't add a link from Storage Card, otherwise it would hang if you unplug and plug in the Mini-SD card again.

[wishmaster82]

you have to add only 1 slash \ not 2 \\

:)

[kkfuti]

I cannot add more than "4" in the registry icos. Did you try it?

[jmarinheiro]

You only can have 7 icons on HTC homeplug, originaly you have 4 so you can only add 3 more.

I want to add "lock device" to HTC Home plug does anyone knows?

[doedoe]

Use the DLL from the notmal device lock today plugin.

[kaer]

Does anyone has the cpl for MSN (straight to the MSN sign-in page) and the Reset command?

[gurvir19]

if i wanted to delete an icon from teh home plug do i just erace the launchappath? i tried to just delete a value but after reboot it comes back

[Matterhorn]

Of course SBSH iLauncher is another solution for the the HTC bar. It does much more including customizeable task closer and a tray launcher. It is the first app I load on my device after a hard reset or ROM upgrade.

@gurvir19

Registry tweaks work perfect,

but only

1. if you wait about 30 seconds after changing the values - before Softreset. The OS need a little time to write the registry back to the device. Seems to be a common WM5 issue.

2. Or, alternatively, just keep the power button depressed and answer Yes to the question. This will make sure everything is flushed back to the flash ROM, as has also been pointed out in my related article (info from User Menneisyys).

Good luck,
Gerhard

thanks mdacfan!

[cojones]

i've looked everywhere but can't find this...does anyone know how to add a program to the HTC Touch Home Plug in (one that is not on the standard list)?

This is what I did, I find it the best. Plus, by changing the icons you can make it look a lot better too.

Hi Folks,

found this thread and found it very useful!
but dont want to ADD but to DELETE some icons from HTC-Homeplug.

specially the icon for turn the screen i want to delete.
but on my trinity there is only this keys:

REGEDIT4

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug]
"PowerIconSlot"=dword:00000000
"RotateIconSlot"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\3]
"ResPath"="\\windows\\htcicon.dll"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\Backlight.exe"
"iconindex"=dword:00000066

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\HTC\HTCHomeplug\2]
"ResPath"="\\windows\\htcicon.dll"
"LaunchApPath"="\\windows\\CommManager.exe"
"iconindex"=dword:00000067

there is no section to delet the "turn screen" icon !?
i tried to delete the line:

"RotateIconSlot"=dword:00000001


but after a softresert the line is back again ;-(
any hints for that?

[lifeisfun]

Hi,
your home screen is exactly what I'm looking for
Can you please tell me how did you create the BT, WWIFI and other icons
to shortcut to those applications ?

Thanks

[carne]

[ebysoccer08]

I run dcd 3.0.1 ROM, and HTC Homeplug has been completely removed so I can't figure out how to put it back. I can create a homeplug registry like mentioned before, but I must need to put the main files back into the windows registry too? This is not my cup of tea, but I would like to learn more about registries. I use PHM regeditor. Can someone help me figure out exactly what files I need and what to do with them please? Thanks in advance...
