HTC Home works on Excalibur !

[mat2206]

I found the CAB in another thread. There were warnings about Installation, another Guy had to do a Hardreset to get his Device booting.
I tried out and on my O2 XDA Cosmo with WM6 it works fine.
I think the Device becomes slower but I like the Homescreen.

Try it on your own risk!!!!!!!!

[sunjay]

Thanks.. Its neat..

[gsportz156]

do u know if their is a htc home customizer for this...i can only find for ppc that does not work on the excalibur

[jpwoof]

nice theme.. but the favorite people plugin doesnt work with my BJ2 WM6

[mat2206]

Yes, I also tried the HHC App and the installation corrupted. I don´t know another tool.

[mat2206]

You can´t choose the Persons. When you choose "favorite People" and switch the Middle Button (I don´t know the name :o ), then -on my device- a new window opens with the saved numbers.

[sunjay]

This is nice home screen, is there any way to add one more tab for launcher and different icons..

thanks in advance

[jdoggraz]

This is a nice screen, however, it seems to slow my phone down a lot and I am running the Rogers ROM with it...

[thirdstripe]

I can't get the contacts shortcut to work. When I select it the 'config' screen comes up and disappears a second later not allowing me to put contacts in the shortcut. Any ideas out there.

had that problem unistall restart than reinstall

[jumran]

Worked fine on my phone with the Rogers Rom. Looks nice but would look better if it had vista aero effects. Free memory does drop from 22MB to 15 MB on the Rogers Rom.

Did that. I had the same problem. Every time you install something else on it, it goes right back to acting like that. :( I dunno If i like it anymore.

[ashasaur]

Hmm, I seem to be having a problem aswell....everything installs fine, but once I restart my phone...it tries to load at startup and comes up with the message-"Keyboard Hook failed. Program closed" or something along those lines...any ideas guys?

Try using this version. It doesn't seem to have the issue with the contacs and takes up less memory.

[chelsea_fc]

is this require facade?? then what else requirement to run this theme properly??

Facade is not required. All you need to do is install the Cab file.

[chelsea_fc]

just try the new attached cab, works great...

[mar11974]

Tried it, nice but I wanted access to the MRU so here is what I came up with.

Just extract to your SD card and it will appear in the Home Screen Layouts.

This is the HTC Home replacing the Appointments with MRU.

See the attached screenshot.

[sergiopi]

I downloaded HTC Home from here:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/262983/New-Full-HTC-Live-Home-for-S710-E650-as-on-S730-/page/60/#entry866803
the full package (i need appointments) and works great. Just scroll it down to see the MRU!

Good job, I just changed the color scheme in the attached file to have the MRU application names displayed correcly

[Blackforge]

Rather than require more plugins, I've edited the Home file again ;)

HomeMRUNotify1.home.xml - Appointments on one line (hopefully) and MRU, without a full page down.

HomeMRUNotify2.home.xml - Just a modified HTC.home.xml with the MRU addition from the HomeMRU.home.xml that was posted before. I've added fgcolor so appnames show up light grey like sergiopi had.

[sergiopi]

I remembre something to remove the upper bar.... Any suggestion?
HTC Home in landscape mode will have a better look without...

Use the version posted on post #15. It still has this bug but rebooting it seems to fix the issue and MyPeople will function until the phone is rebooted again. On the other versions, rebooting still does not make it work.

[Grazu]

Just fine, many thanks to the contributers!
I love my S620 running Home this way...

[aqaz]

Tried to install Gregory HTCHome.cab and got an error saying application has insufficient permission to run.

Anyone know how to fix this?

I am using ROgers Rom, WM6, on a HTC S621.

Thanks

[jumran]

You need to application unlock your phone. Search in this forum on how to do that.

I had to run SP_AllowCertificateInstall.cab before Gregory HTCHome.cab. Then everything ran ok. Great theme. Thanks.

[Bigg Wedge]

Can someone point me in the direction of a good zip program for the Dash?

Many Thx,

[tecbloke]

Thanks so much for posting, is the 6 button version available anywhere for the smartphone?

Thanks jumran!!... it worked...

[rafeee2]

Is it possible for the space that views the clock/weather/favorite to show parts of the received e-mails/SMS/missed calls when the selection moves to any of their buttons?

[profitoral]

Is it possible to go back to the old green HTC? I tried to change the home screen to the HTC green one but it doesn't work.

Thanks.

Go to home screen settings and select Windows default as your home screen layout and for color scheme, choose windows mobile green. That should put the phone back to default htc green theme.

[diovan]

thanks dude, works on dopod c720w WM5

[nawome]

for some reason the weather only lets me select celsius, is there any way to select Fahrenheit?

[-=xXx=-]

I removed htc green bars and changed to blue CommManager...
And in seccond version i added gprs trafic counter and also plugin on today screen ...
FirstVersion: http://depositfiles.com/files/3306160
Second : http://depositfiles.com/files/3315135
You need to install it in main memory...

[theformula]

when you get to the fahrenheit/celsius selection screen, use left-right buttons to change that field. kinda lame since everything else on that page you use up-down to change fields...

[jacopo]

hello to everyone....I would like to change the backround colour of my htc hom screen... I've tried to do this but when I select an image everything is deleted from my home screen....

[Ravok]

[hernlui]

Guys, I just got my S621 a week and a half ago, and have downloaded too many homescreens and plugins... but this is by far the coolest with the mods.
THANK YOU guys for sharing the "coolness" ;)

[hernlui]

Guys,
Just noticed my this CAB screwed up my WIFI. I try to turn it on, it will search and connect and shut off.
I have the new WM6 1.33 ROM and had not experienced this problem until I installed this HS.
I went ahead and uninstalled it, but the problem is still there.
Any Ideas?

[jcgarciat]

Hi,
I have a couple of questions,
First I downloaded the N version of the Gregory HTC Home and the cab install was unsuccessful, so I downloaded the version on the first post and it was finally installed, but in Home Screen when I choose the HTC the home screen displays a "The program is incompatible ..." so, any hint about how to install it on my S620?

I first tried with the T-Mobile WM6 ROM and then with HTC WM6 ROM and had the same results.

Any help would be appreciated.
JC

[bigcletus]

how can I use the call progress bmp? I have tried moving, renaming the original file in the windows directory, but it won't allow me to make changes.

[dogmood]

So far working fine on my Samsung i600.. but which one is better and more finalized? the N or non-N?

Thanks guys.

[shatbag]

Great screwed up my Tmobile Dash. it wont boot up. it lust loops its startup sequence WTF!!!! I guess i have to hardreset DONT INSTALL ON TMO DASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[shatbag]

Ok it still loops at startup unless i take out my storage card first. Has anyone looked into this problem?

[AbsoluteDesignz]

works fine with 6.1 thanks.

[shaikmonster]

Where do I put those xml files?

[es_bih]

I tried it with my 6.1 and it needs a black background to work properly; also, if you want to uninstall there is a good chance you will have to have a hard reset in order to get your main panel-based home screen back.

[p100user]

Thanks,hopes can work in i608!

[jdoggraz]

Thanks,hopes can work in i608!

This is not for the S621 is it, why u posting this in here?

[orb3000]

I can't get the contacts shortcut to work. When I select it the 'config' screen comes up and disappears a second later not allowing me to put contacts in the shortcut. Any ideas out there.

Welcome to the forum
This behaviour is possibly caused because low RAM space, try to eliminate some non-using apps or files and try again. It worked for me

Good luck,

[kirta89]

I have this home screen :)

but my devise isn't slowely :D
