It can install on UNIVERSAL, but doesn't look good for VGA screen....
Until now I can't find for VGA screen

same as you, not working properly, is there anyone has any idea how to get it working JASJAR.

[wtpelzer]

I've got the homeplug working on my Universal :D though if you change to QVGA mode the fonts are too big. I think this is because it is VGA aware and so displays bigger fonts on VGA devices. ;) So if you were to run it in your screens native resolution i.e. VGA it looks and works very well... Though you may have problems seeing all you other stuff :rolleyes: . I'm fine with VGA though so it doesn't bother me at all... :)

[amrarian]

:D hi.. can you share the file.. plz.. so we can try in our universal also..

[Laurentius26]

Hi,

Any news here?
I tried the app as well, but it doesn't show good.
Want to fix this, do I need to enlarge the icons?
Any suggestions?

Cheers,

Leo

[defragen]

My Friend Laurentius you have to enlarge the layout not the icons.
I am saying that you have to open the distance between each tab so the icons can fully viewed.

Come on do it, you all know that you can.

IF you complete this work i will have a full touch contribution in my Universal and i will upload As soon as possible.

[Laurentius26]

But... if you can't do it, why do you think I can :D

Because you have the knowledge. I am just a noobie about the development of oem softwares.
If you have time to check it it will be great.
Believe is a excellent programs and it's to bad working only in Real VGA mode.

I think you're going about the problem backwards :D , though that said I don't know if there is an easy way of changing the font either:rolleyes: ... Changing the size of the text windows in the app involves a lot more work than changing the font size of the numerals within those same windows.;)

Though since I'm very happy with Homeplug in full VGA all I can say is good luck, because I think you guys are going to need it! :)

[Laurentius26]

Well... I noticed that this app runs great on the HTC Blue angel.
The screen of the Blue angel has the same size as the Universal.
It still doesn't run 100% on Uni.

[pa3x]

I dont understand why is so problem making HTC Home to work in VGA resolutions. Is ther no one can do that?!?

[Bonzo666]

i'm working on it.
to answer your question about blueangel, it has a 320x240 screen, lower resolution of that of universal, which is 640x480.

i'm trying to develop a home plugin for our uni, but it takes lot of time.

stay tuned:p

Hi Guys,

I will and let you know might be after I comeback from my vacation :) unless if someone can dig more and find out ...

Hi,

I haven't found a solution for HTC home plugin, but there is something which will do much the same - and is skinnable (you can write your own!).

It's at http://rotlaus-software.de/

I don't wish to copy anyone's themes - there are soo many there! But here's an example:
http://img162.imageshack.us/img162/7923/image1oh9.jpg

You get the idea! Look at http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=88 for some more examples

This is QVGA and I have been trying to find a good VGA skin - and I know you can use http://emerym.homeip.net/rlToday/ to convert QVGA->VGA, but it doesn't work very well in this direction.

Anyone got any good VGA examples that can be used on the HTC Uni?

The default theme is for a 320x240 machine, try mine above

or

Resize all the PNGs and change the posistions in the XML.....:D

[davieshyland]

Try this one, simpler......
But still shows Operator, Signal strength, Missed emails,texts and calls.

Oh, and time and date...:)

You will need to copy the font to /windows/fonts

This is QVGA ... I know you can use http://emerym.homeip.net/rlToday/ to convert QVGA->VGA, but it doesn't work very well in this direction.

But it's a good starting place, and then you can tweak the xml file. All thanks to emerym (http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/profile.php?id=62)

[JonMorgan]

Nice one,
It's the most well suited VGA skin that I've seen.
Have you also thought about adding weather "Rafer_Weather"?

[davieshyland]

It gets better.......

Don't be alarmed if the Icons don't show, they are not part of the theme.

And....... no bottom bar..........
Using dcinobar, placed it in startup folder, so it loads after a soft reset.

If i could just get rid of the CommManger icon in the bottom right i would be a happy man. :D

[baby1111]

Here is a patched htchome.dll that supports VGA screens. Font size is small,but readable.
Install a CAB then place the DLL from archive to \windows directory on the device. Overwrite the existing file. Of cause you should switch off the plugin in "today / items" before overwriting the DLL.

After overwriting the dll as the advice of mamaich, the whole area of the homeplug is now blank. i am using nncuong 2.11.11 rom.

i'm using the vga version of audio manager and it's still not working.

When I click on 'launch player' its saying that this program is unsigned etc.

Mamaich's patch did make the theme useable, great!

Unfortunately, all HTC Home versions I tried in this Uni V1640 causes crash when receiving phone calls in laptop mode. Anyone else having the same problem?

It's strange since this unit doesn't have any of the SD Card problems in any of the ROM's I flashed (& I did tried most of them) but, HTC Home would install fine yet causes this horrible freezing when receiving phone calls!

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Launch it one time from the programs menu, accept the security warning, think then it is solved.

Otherwise disable the security message via registry (or via tweaks2k.net)

Dear all,

After reading the forum, I see there are many great feedbacks.
However, it seems like many version for VGA is flowing around.
To make things easier, I was wondering if someone can lead us to the newest version of the
1. HTC Home and Audio Manager ->VGA
a. Dll files to fix the audio manager "unsigned" + Home "vga"

2. 1. HTC Home and Audio Manager ->QVGA
a. Dll files to fix the audio manager "unsigned"

Thanks in advance.

Thanks pa3x. Unfortunately, I'm not using MS Voice Command. I prefer Cyberion Speed Dialer. I'll try to disable or uninstall it & check if it solves the problem.

Thanks again for the insight.

[catch-22]

Disabling Cyberion Speed Dialler didn't solve freezing problem either.

Moved all ringtones from \Storage to \Windows\Ring directory help a bit but still causes intermittent freezing.

Found a temporary solution: suspected SD Card plug-in-play causing the freeze in bringing up power of PDA from hibernate/sleep mode. Removing the SD Card from the slot did solve the problem so I can now use HTC Home & receive calls even in laptop/landscape mode.

Will check later if the problem is due to slow SD Card (as mentioned before, I never had missing SD Card problems in any of the new ROMs) or program memory resource problem. Taking out SD Card releases about 1Mb of program memory!

Thanks again pa3x for confirming that the problem exist in others too, otherwise I would have refrained from installing HTC Home when it's not the real problem!

I did switch off the plug in before replacing the dll. But when i tried to activate it back on "today / items", the HTC home plug in checkbox is not there anymore! even after soft reset.... my cab files are for wm5. im using xda-flame... before this the today plug ins are only half sized which is not fully developed in size... seems partial opened only....
