Where are the Home Screen Settings?

I can't find the Home Screen Settings on my HTC P3600. The manual doesn't mention them and going to Settings->Personal shows no Home Screen setting. I've done a factory reset thinking that it would help, but still no Home Screen Settings.
Is there a way to enable it via a Registry entry or at least point a registry entry to a new homescreen XML file? I have no idea of the Home Screen program's name, so I can't execute it directly (if it's even present).
ROM version: 1.15.405.5
Radio version: 1.20.00.11
Protocol version: 32.52.7020.00H
ExtROM version: 1.15.405.101

Today Screen not the Same as Home Screen

The Today Screen is not exactly the same as the Home Screen. The Today Screen is missing the Home Screen Layout option which is what I'm looking for. The Today screen has a theme selection which appears to be similar to the Color Scheme in the Home Screen.
How would I specify the Home Screen Layout. Is there a registry entry for that? I'm trying to place some home screen XML files in \Application Data\Home and I can't find where to select them.

Home screen (XML) are for the "smartphone" edition of WM5. Can't use them in the "normal" edition.
I wish I could use my custom Qtek 8500 home screen on the trinity...

8525 home screen wish list

I am a definite newbie that just updated to wm6 and would like something different, you know to personalize my 8525. I would like to have a bigger clock and some local weather information. It would also be nice to have larger buttons to make better use of the available screen space. I do not have the capability to do any reg edits, or even know what they are - so I am asking for a simple installation method with instructions for something that does not void my warranty. Thank you very muck! You guys have always been very helpfull.

Install HTC Home Plugin and HTC Home customiser Big Clock Weather Tab, One Press photo dialing, App Launcher and Music player on your today screen with email messages and missed calls one click away with the customiser you can download and add cool colour icons and appearances
http://rapidshare.com/files/66632225/HTC_Home_2.0.8_TNT.rar

I could not figure out how to get it on the 8525. I did dl to my pc but could do anything with it.

copy them both to your device and run them from there they are cab files, just extract them on your pc then copy both cab files over to your 8525 and open them there

I got it downloaded directly to the 8525 but do not know what to do now. Not sure where it is either. please help

well wherever you put it on your hermes, e.g. storage card go there with file explorer on your device and click on each cab file and it will install ,install htc home customiser first as htc home will reboot the phone after it has installed

for a retail app, look at SPB Mobile Shell, which will do that and more

Will this program erase any data on the phone?

HTC home 2.1 plugin

I'm currently trying to find a htc home 2.1 plugin that works properly with my Dual. I've tried two different home 2.1 plugins, but both of them make all the icons (HTC album, screen rotator, lock, program folder, etc.) appear as folder icons.
Can somebody recommend a HTC home 2.1 plugin cab that works or a solution to this particular problem?
Thanks

help with program paths

can anyone tell me the launch program "paths" for :
Programs
Settings - formerly HTCsettings.exe
Lock - the stock one - I can only find it as a plugin
for example , I use \Windows\Start Menu\Phone.lnk for my phone button.
I have a Sprint Vogue.
Thanks!

There is no launch path for the program folder or the settings. And the lock can only be launched as a today screen plugin

HOME page within Touchflo changed to a new one with "Today plugins" - and WORKING !!!

HOME page within Touchflo changed to a new one with "Today plugins" - and WORKING !!!
I was trying different settings with my HD and managed to change my Touchflo "HOME" page to a different page which can handle all the Today plugins within Touchflo.
Now I have the Touchflo and the first tab is a new tab which can handle plugins => so on my new Manila HOME page I have now Pocket Informant, SPB tasks, SPB weather and Time.... so it's like a normal Winmobile "Today page" with plugins but within Manila and at the place of the original home tab of Touchflo. The hardware "Home" button is directing to the new plugin ready homepage. So everyting works as before but my fisrt tab the HOME is much much better than is was before and I still use the Tiouchflo. The original Touchflo Home page I put at the end of the tabs - so its my last tab at the moment but it is still there if I need.
(I'm not an expert so it was result of trying and guessing and using some good programs from others here. Maybe someone more clever described this or a better method already but anyway here is how I did it...)
I have stock English ROM.
1. Installed Singh_s_Tings_HTC_TF3D_15 tabs cab (big thanks for the developer)
2. Installed Manila Today Page cab (MTP_Install_v0.3.3.0.cab) (big thanks for the developer)
=> which is really a great program to have an additional, Today plugin capaple tab within Touchflo. And the page has its own "windows" icon.
3. In Resco (or other) Registry editor => go to HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Configuration
=> there I have "folders" numbered from 0 to 14 in my case (as I have 15 tabs in Touchflo).
"0" - is the original Touchflo HOME page (and it can be moved!!!)
"14" - (in my case - but it depends on your page order) is my MTP (Manila Today Page additional tab with plugin capacity).
The number shows/determines the order of the tabs as they will appear in Touchflo. So you can mix the tab order as you wish by re-numbering the folders containing the tab infos.
4. I simply renamed the folder numbered with "0" to 14 => this moved the original Touchflo Home page to the last place in my tab order.
5. And I simply renamed the folder "14" to "0" => and this moved my MTP plugin page to the first tab where the original Manila Home page was.
(did some false numbering in the process not to have 2 tabs with same name to be on the safe side - maybe unnecessary?)
=> Soft reset the HD
So my tab order is now:
0.MTP - with all my plugins (PI, tasks, weather, profiles etc. (works with the HOME button perfectly)
1 Communications
2 People
3 Messages
4 Mail
5 Programs
6 Calendar
7 Internet
8 Weather
9 Stock
10 Photos and Videos (Album)
11 Music
12 Sound Settings
13 Missed calls
14 Original Touchflo Home page
The New MTP HOME tab which is the starting tab now inTouchflo has a built-in softkey named "home" => when you push it it directs to the original Touchflo Home page.
The HTC home hardware button directs automatically to the first tab, which is the new MTP Home page with plugins .....
Now I have Touchflo but with a much better Home page than the original ...and can use all my today plugins for touchflo.
"Screen 12" attached => shows ManilaTodayPage at the place of HOME page
"Screen 13" attached => shows original HOME as last tab.

That's amazing, I've been using MTP for a few days now but I'm going to follow your advice to make it my homepage.
Quick question: Can you tell me what programs you are using for the shortcuts at the top and which is your calendar app?
I'm hoping somewhere to find a list of all software with Today screen plugins so I can pick and choose.
Cheer's buddy

So how do you get the ManilaTodayPage program to display the tasks on the Today page? Mine won't do that, and the option to display in the MTP options is greyed out so it can't be chosen ? I'm using MTP v0.3.6.0 rather than v0.3.3.0.
Thx
Dave

Hi ,
so I'm using the following today plugins within MTP
starting from the top:
1. SPB "Pocket Plus"
The 6 colored icons are expanding for grouping other programs to start
so under each icon there are lot of possibilities to start applications, files, setting etc. When not pushed they shrink to this state back.
2. Inesoft Today plugin (from Inesoft Phone 4) => its a profiler for ringtones + switching on/off bluetooth wifi, ringtone, backlight setting
(its not a standalone prog but part of the Phone4)
3. SPB Time (world clocks)
4. SPB weather (expanding further to show more data)
5. SPB Diary (you can customize it to show appointments, task, mail, birthdays, notes etc )
I use Pocket Informant as PIm manager ( SPB Diary takes the info from PI)
What I really like that from any page I can jump back to this stating home page with the HOME hardware buttons.

So this is my Touchflo home page with screenshots (expanded plugins)

Hi, I have two questons:
1. where do I find this MTP cab?
2. Will it work on a my Touch HD with Dutch ROM?
regards and thanks, kuzibri

thank you.
I installed the 15 tabs program and MTP, and its working on my HD except for the fact that in my registry I do not see in the configuration 14 folders but only 10. So I'm not able to rename folder 14 to 0, etc. Any help - suggestions on how to (re)arrange that.
thanks. kuzibri
