HTC Home Plugin 3 tab w/ Clock working on WM5

[superevilllama]

Hello All,

I can confirm this plugin works on WM5 (currently only verified on HTC Apache). Both the 3 and 6 tab versions are working.

3 Tab Version:
ftp://ppcgeeks:ezupload@ftp.ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Misc%20Apps/htchomewm5.rar

Simple Instructions:

1. Install HTC Home Plug Today Plugin.cab to device, not storage card.

2. Install SDK Test Certs.cab to device.

3. Copy contents of PPC Phone folder to \Windows and replace existing files.

4. Reboot

If you want to use US cities, copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to \Windows directory!

Enjoy!

_____________6 Tab Version_________________

This now works with the reg entry to allow you to select the order and number of tabs. The cab should set the reg for you, but you can change it to your liking. The reg entry is...

Code:
HKLM\Software\HTC\HTCHome
Tabsetting=1,2,3,4,5,6

Unfortunately, the same install procedure is still necessary. Install cab and then copy the 4 files to \Windows. Make sure the Home plugin is deactivated when you do this or when you change the reg.

thanks to colonel and helmi @ ppcgeeks for 6 tab!

ftp://ppcgeeks:ezupload@up.ppcgeeks.com/Apache/Users/Colonels/WM5HTCHome6Tab.rar

Inside the .rar is a cab and 4 files. Make sure you disable any HTCHome today plugin that may be running. Then install the cab. After the cab installs, it will ask you to reset. Cancel that and copy the 4 files to \Windows. Then reset.

quoting sp3dev:

(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313870

edit pe header - set subsystem minor to 1 in htchome.dll and htchome.dll.0409.mui. if you use ppc,not phone - delete import from phone.dll
don't forget to resign
or go to 4pda.ru\asusmobile.ru and find the patched plugin there

Is anyone familiar with how to do this, or do it to a newer verion of the HTC Home plugin, either the 5 or 6 tab version?

Any help would be awesome in improving this!

How about 5/6 tabs version from Kaiser as available here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316107

The 3 tabs version available here:

Here is my GSmart i120 running WM5 AKU 3.3 and Wisbar Advance 3 beta 5!
TQ

The 3 tab version work well on my XDA IIs with xPlode Rom R5!
Works also 5 tab version?

[the_scotsman]

Works great on Blue Angel!

Would love to have the 5 tab version working!

[superevilllama]

I know.. the 5 tab version working would be amazing! They are working on it over at PPCgeeks.. hoping maybe someone from here can assist in the process. The install for the 3 tab HTC home in this package is no different from other 3 tabs; what makes it work is the modified dll's in the folder in the zipped file.

As sp3dev said earlier in the other thread, they modified the htchome.dll and htchome.dll.0409.mui files. If someone can do this to match the change they made into the 5 or 6 tab version, it should work. Programmers? Anyone? :)

[grypho]

Hi, Does somebody knows why it didn't worked with my hw6945? I installed all as described but I only get an empty big square in my screen... the name of the plugin even appears on my today congifuration but I cannot make it work...

[chris_moore42]

I cant figure out what files i am supposed to copy to the windows folder...Can anyone answer that question. I searched several websites but couldn't find an answer...Thank You.

[chris_moore42]

Disregard the previous question. I finally found the files here...

[grypho]

Please help me with this, I really want to have it functioning with my Sable... please, anyone?

[chris_moore42]

If you follow the instructions above and it will work. the three files that need to be copied to windows directory are htchome.dll, htchome.dll.0409.mui, and HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. You can get these at

ftp://ppcgeeks.com/Apache/New%20Core%20OEMs/kdoweb/

The username is ppcgeeks and the password is ezupload. Its the top file. Extract the three files from that download. Follow the original instructions and overwrite those files, good idea to make backups before overwriting, and it will work. Hope this helps.

We have gotten the 6 tab version to work. However there are some strange issues with it. As you will see in the following files, the cab installs the .png files to \HTCHome instead of \Windows. This is necessary for this type of install. But, if you create an OEM for kitchen cooking, all the files can be run from \Windows. Also, we have tried to add the 4 files in the following package to the actual cab, but the cab will never install. During install, the progress completes or almost completes and then there is a message that the install was unsuccessful.

So, here is something that should work. Inside the .rar is a cab and 4 files. Make sure you disable any HTCHome today plugin that may be running. Then install the cab. After the cab installs, it will ask you to reset. Cancel that and copy the 4 files to \Windows. Then reset.

Hi Colonel

After I install this one (6 tab), there is not any HTC Home Today shown in my Atom.

What I have done is disable HTC 3 tabs and uninstall it.
Then, install the 6 tabs.
Copy 4 files to replace in \windows
soft reset

[colonel00]

Perhaps try to copy all of the .png files that are in \HTCHome to \Windows so you have two copies. Like I said, this is still very raw and has some strange issues with it. Basically you might have to play around with the files. But, the 4 dlls/muis need to be in \Windows.

Hello All,

I can confirm this plugin works on WM5. I am using Helmi's 3.5 kitchen 1.02 rom off ppcgeeks.

Link to ppcgeeks thread for HTC HOME:

ppcgeeks(dot)com/htc-home-3-button-and-clock-working-on-wm-5-t7143.html

Simple Instructions:

1. Install HTC Home Plug Today Plugin.cab to device, not storage card.

2. Install SDK Test Certs.cab to device.

3. Copy contents of PPC Phone folder to \Windows and replace existing files.

4. Reboot

If you want to use US cities, copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to \Windows directory!


I am bringing this to you all in hopes that perhaps someone can expand on this and add the other tabs such as photo dial and music. Let me know what you think! I can also upload this file to the xda ftp later today.

Hi there,

works great, thanks! I am unable to receive any updates through on the weather on gprs, not a problem on wifi though - I have heard that is a t - mo issue via a proxy server do you know of any workaround?

Thanks

"No today plugin appears in Today Settings but can find it in HKLM/SOFTWARE/Microsoft/Today/Items.
"

if there are too many today items wm just dont display them all
a workaround is removing some in the regs

I delete all plugin registries except Owner info.
Uncheck all
So no plugin at my today screen.
Reinstall
The result is same.
But I can install 3 tabs version and it works great.
Any idea???
Thanks.

Still working on this. Now, this was modded and tested on an Apache. That being said, the certs were removed since we do not need them for the Apache. Some other devices may need them. If anyone wants to re-sign the files wiht the SDK certs that would probably help

[KamaL]

the 3 buttons version worked on my Wm5 Trinity (P3600), but the 6 buttons one didn't :S

I hope someone manages to make it work... I've been waiting for this moment :)

Hi Colonel,

I have tried install SDK certs from 3 tabs version with 6 tabs one, but it still not work.

[rjkthomas]

Where can I find this file to make this work?:confused:

[viscocesco]

6 tab version works well on my XDA IIs with xPlode R5 V2 Rom :):)

[leekp1234]

I Try to install the new 6 tabs version..
but still don't work, and than I try to copy the htchome.dll of 3 tab version to the windows folder, after that I can see htchome on the today option.
but I can't see anything on the today screen. but when I try to click the positon of the clock, the ppc told me to select the city. and when I click the SMS button. it also can get into the inbox.

Is that the HTCHOME.DLL of 6 tabs cannot use on some ppc ?

[helmi_c]

guys..since I remove the cert, the 6 tab is will only work on trully hacked ROM (disable/patch all security crap) , If I hv time I will remake the version for all WM5/WM6 with cert crap and cab ready to use... but if someone do it for now that would be better..

I'm really looking forward to that. I'dlove to have the 6 buttons version running on my Trinity :)
Thanks in advance.

[aneto]

Has anyone good success with HTC Home plug over Axim x51v device (no phone, VGA, WM5)?. I tried but still doesn't work

[colonel00]

UPDATE: There is a new cab install that should hopefully work on all WM5 devices. I was able to install on an Apache running a stock Sprint rom. Thanks to Helmi for helping out on this.
