HTC Home Customizer!! AMAZING MUST HAVE SOFTWARE!!!

[bennec83]

Hey Guys i found this link in the titan forum and i have installed and used this piece of software on my TYTN, it works 100% and it is BRILLIANT!!

I DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY CREDIT AT ALL FOR THIS, I HAD NO INPUT INTO THE DEVELOPEMENT, THAT WAS SOLEY DOWN TO emunutz (http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=484583) (HE WILL ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORT FOR THE PROGRAM - NOT ME, OTHER THAN FOR MY FIXES)

I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT AS MUCH AS I HAVE!!!

My Fixes:

FIX 1

Description: HTC Home FIX!

Error Description: When using ANY HTC Home Plugin, i found the following graphical error:

ill use the home tab as my example, when it is not selected, it is dull and transparent, and when you select it it gets a grey box around it and the icon image becomes lighter, this happens with all icons appart from the music note and the contacts tab

FIX:

i have fixed the images so that when they are selected they react the same as the others.

TO USE:

Extract then copy the Original Icons Fix (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46724&stc=1&d=1186745256)i have attached into the following folder replacing the ones in there:

HTC HOME Customise\HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original

Then apply the "Original" Icon Set.


FIX 2

Extract then copy the Transparent selected (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46725&stc=1&d=1186745256) file to:

HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\bg\Original Semi-Transparent

And it will make the Grey selection Box that appears around the selected tab Transparent!

My Packages/Upgrades:

1) Original Icons 3D Style

To Have The 6 Tab Icons In 3D Download Original 3D Icons (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=46737&stc=1&d=1186750373) inside the zip you will find 2 folders "Original" & "Original 3D"

The "Original 3D" folder has the new icons in it, copy these icons to:

HTC Home Customizer v07\FILES\icons\Original

Then select the "Original" icons from the Software.

If you decide to go back to the normal (non 3D) "Original" Icons, copy all of the files in the "Original" folder from "Original 3D Icons.zip" and copy them to the directory above, then select the "Original" icons from the Software.

I didnt realize! Mainly because i contacted the OP if the thread in the Titan Forum and he told me that it was his software and he was devoloping it.

I offered to have a play with some of the griphics and he asked that if I did anything could i post it on his thread so he could add it to his package.

Firstly i was looking for things that needed improvement and i released these 2 fixes, posted them in the Original thread and here so everyone could benefit

Thanks bennec83. Just a quick question. Does this work with the HTC Home 3 tabs version? I rather like the 3 tabs version as it is more finger friendly.

[drgopoos]

thanks for the effort

i dont know, you will have to go to the original thread and ask the OP!! i didnt design this and i have only used it with a kaiser 6 tab home plug!!

[Pawel062]

nice job bennec83!

In theory (and we all know how accurate theory is) it should work with the 3-tab except for the tab order setting, as long as the version you are running installs to either \Windows or \HTCHome.

Another option would be to install the 6-tab version, run the customizer, and in the tab order setting you can select how many tabs and what order you want them in (which means you can display only 3 if you would like, and in any order you choose).

I tryed that and it didnt work, i have the 6 button kaiser home plugin, and it installs to \HTCHome, i used the customiser to change the order if the tabs and NOTHING happened.

I have been so bogged down with other stuff i didnt get a chance to message you!

Any clues?

thanks

[emunutz]

You'll need a 6-tab cab that supports the tab order setting. In my thread, toward the bottom are RapidShare links for cabs that fully support all settings for the customizer for WM5 and WM6, including tab order.

I am having the custom weather database "Unable to retrieve weather" problem. I read the thread in the Titan forum, but could not resolve it and the linked N2A thread. I am using the cab file from that thread, not the Pocket Hosts method.

I am in the US, so I run the customizer (which completely rocks btw) and enter my city, zip code and USA for country. I get the cannot connect error. I read the post about switching to alternate connection, navigating to htc.accuweather.com, etc. but I do not actually know wtf is meant by switching to alternate connection? You mean wifi v. gsm connection??? I do get the error page "You have reached an inconfigured webpage..." when I navigate to htc.accuweather.com on any connection. (My city is on accuweather's US site, but not on the international site. That is, after all, the point of this customization, right?)

Any help appreiated - thx.

OK OK! I did read the first other thread. Thought you might know.

you cant have done, if you did you would have seen this:

For anyone having problems getting the weather to work, please refer to this link for help: N2A's alternate weather post. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187)

You have two options in his post. v0.7 of the customizer uses the "Pocket Hosts" method described in his original post. If you are having problems with this method, you could try using his patched cab for the Home plugin (which seems to be more compatible than the "hosts" method).


this is one of many posts about how to resolve weather issues!!

also please dnt think i was flaming you! i was just pointing out that i cannot porvide support for something that i have no clue about!! (i only been playing with graphics, i dnt know how the actual thing works!!)

Nah, we're cool. I did see that - it just did not fix my issue. Thanks anayway - I'll figure it out or I will post over there. Thanks for posting it here, I've really been enjoying it. Currently running the Vista icon set. Very nice.

Im just stabbing in the dark now, but try reading from post 52 on the original thread, there is alot about the weather! also i am sure i have seen other threads about this, illwill check through my posts and let you know if i find anything!

[sir_italia]

Ok I have installed the software and I have tried everythign I have deleted the HTC folder that it created. Everytime I runt he software it says it will take a minute to reload. But it never loads any of the changes???

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm using a place like 15 miles away, so it is far from critical. Something comforting about seeing your actual home town listed on the page. I should just change the label in the default database xml file - it will SAY my town, but give the weather from the other town ;) Placebo effect:D

@sir_italia: Hey it feels really weird quoting myself, but i just cant be arsed typing this again, when you could have just read it!!
