Wizard with WM6 How do I get the HTC Plugin to Work?

[mickb]

I have searched the forums until my eyes bleed, I have downloaded and downloaded but still it does not work.
Does anyone have HTC Home Plugin cab files for the following?

MDA Vario/Wizard running WM6

I have managed to get the HTC Home Plug-in to appear in the Today Options screen and I have installed the HTC HomePlug-in customizer and run it but still nothing appears on my Today screen.

If anyone has managed to get the HTC Home Plug-in running on a Wizard with WM6 then please point me at the files I need.
Many thanks in advance.

I am not sure but I remember I picked up somewhere here that the home plugin does not work properly if installed as cab rather than included in the ROM.

You may check it.

Cheers!

Hi,

if i right know, give's 2 versions: light witout HTC-programs and a professional version within HTC-programs. (so i found this 2 versions for german WM6)

May be, that you need the WM6 professional version with integrated HTC-tool-programs.

Just use the HTC Home that is version 1.5, it works on WM5 and WM6. I installed it on my device using the cab, and modded it no prob. I run the Jag rom and have no issues. HTC Home above 1.5 don't always play nice unless they are cooked into the rom.

[fraham]

where can i get it for download?

greetings Frank

[fraham]

i have found it and install the HTC home v1.5 on my device.

But it's also not work: clear scren, were the HTC home-screen should be to displayed...

i capitulate...

[scousemartin]

Here try this one and make sure you uninstall any other version you have and have soft reset before installing
I also tried to attach the Home customiser but it kept failing so i have uploaded it to rapidshare

scousemartin, great thanks!

The HTC Home plugin now works! I be so happy...

What was my error by all the other versions and installations?
I think it's was partially not compatible to WM5 or the installations was incompletely. So i install in the last an older configurator...

I don't know, what was the error...

Gives ther some tips for setting other funktions for the icons, so i can to determine all open programs by one klick in the HTC Home Plugin?

over again great thanks to scousemartin!

PS:
one other question above HTC Home plugin:

In the top on left the screen shows the provider-network. So by me it's Vodafone.de.
If i power up my device (i'm at home), so it's show shortly "vodafone.de" and than for under one second "home" and than again permanently "vodafone.de".

I think, if i be in my homezone "vodafone at home" the HTC home-plugin is shortly signaled "home" by power up the device. If it right, that the HTC home-Plugin can show the "home-zone", so is the signalisation to short.
Give's ther an trick to show the Signalisation of "home-zone" permanently or that the plugin can showes it by permanently switch the displaying between Network-provider and signaled "home" or a other way to display the homezone if i be in my homezone?

Thanks for inside informations!

That was the only one i could get to work for the wizard to,glad you are happy, as for a task manager ,to show you all running programs, just add it to the program tab of htc home and then you can just click it to show up all running programs, or install Battstatus, that has a task manager built into it ,or use x-button

[fraham]

Thanks, i will test the programs or plugins for end all open programs by on click in the next time.

but... what is with the signalisation "home"? It is right, that HTC home can display the homezone (only very shortly) or it is a false interpretation, that is was short displayed "home" by power on the device (if i be in my homezone)?
Gives there an option, that it can displayed a longer time as under one second?

additionaly:
Oh, "home" was not by each swith-on displayed! Is my device longer time switched off (standby), than showes "home", if i switch from on to off and afresh on (also from the second switch-on).

Edit: I posted in the wrong section. my mistake.

This looks interesting. I'm running Octaivoi v6 which has a built-in HTC Home. I assume it's v1 although I don't really know.

Do you think there is a way to switch to v1.5? There is no way to uninstall the HTC Home from the ROM, of course...

Many thanks, man!

a experiment:

go into the registry: HKLM-SOFTWARE-HTC and delete the entry HTCHome. Make sure, that you have make a registry-backup, before you delete the entry.

Make a softreset.
If now the HTCHome-display not shows, look to start-settings-home-elements whether there still the entry "HTC Home".

If not, so test the setup of HTCHome 1.5, if the setup can now overwrite the older files or if it got an error-message.

May be, that you must have the extracted files and copy it manualy.

How i said: It's an experiment! May be that it works, may be, that it not works...

If the newer files not can be to copying, than restore the registry, so that the older HTCHome-Plugin again can works.
