Update to HTC Home Plugin? - Touch CDMA General

I saw in the Kaiser fourm they have 2.08 something for the HTC home plugin and I was wondering if it's safe to update my 1.50 (stock Sprint) on the Vogue (touch whatever) or will this cause issues because it's in the Kaiser forum?
Thanks!
-Rob

I'm using it right now and am having no problems.

I've looked on the Kaiser forum but couldn't find it, there is a page with a bunch of HTC cab files but most don't work on the Touch, could you give a link to that plugin?

Whats different regarding the plugin? Any new features?

anyone have any info on this? I didnt see the udpate over there and havent heard anything about what it does.

I think it's called Schen's 6 Tab home plugin. The big advantage (for me at least) is that you can pick which tabs and what order they're in.
The weather tab is useless for me since I don't live near a city on the official list or the Accuweather site by modding it, so I could finally get rid of it and replace it.

5-tab HTC Home Plugin?

Does anyone know where I can get a CAB for this? I'm using the "official" WM6 AT&T ROM, if that makes a difference.
google it, like i've done more or less like htc home.cab , easy isn't it?
There's one knocking around here called 'Kaiser' I think.

Look at the windows mobile 6 section, there is a whole thread about all the kaiser apps with posted cabs like the 5 tab home plugin (It seems there's a 6 tab home plugin, official but doesnt work yet)
here it is
i've attached the five tab htc home plugin
remember to disabele the htc homeplugin before installation if you already have it installed

HTC Home Plug-in

Ok, I have looked all over the place, searched, whatever and found nothing that answers my question. I ran a .cab file a guy linked me to over on HoFo. It said it installed but I couldn't find it anywhere... It even listed it as a program when I removed it... So what's the deal? I have a T-Mobile MDA with a stock 1.08IPL/SPL rom and it's a G3.
You have a stock 1.08???
OMG!!! I had that rom some 2 years ago when I first got my beloved Wizard.
...and I am not 100%, but I feel pretty strongly that the 1.08 rom could be your problem with the HTC Home not working. Also, to my knowledge, there is only 1 specific HTC Home that has been able to run on WM5...I could be wrong about that, as I haven't used WM5 for a few months now...but when I did, I only found one that worked...but I was running a stock Tmo 2.26 rom.
Any guru here wanna chime in and confirm or deny my thoughts on this?
Helmi's HTC Home plugin is the only version I have ever had work on WM5. The weather and media tabs don't work for me even so...so I removed them, using the HTC Home Customizer.
Helmi's file attached (cab) cause I couldn't find it on the web...get the customizer yourself.
After messing with this thing for about an hour or so I've just decided to stick with my Spb Weather and Phone suite until I decide to upgrade ROMs..

Updates updates!

Hi I just got a new mogul yesterday and i've upgraded it to wm 6.1
and want to add the htc home plug in and customize it so
it looks like this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320323
But all the files seem to outdated, I've been looking on ppc also and most of the thread's are from early 2007.
I dident want to mess up my phone with outdated software so I was wondering if you would be able to help me out with what I need to do.
Thanks.
Search for the HTC HHC application. It is the HTC Home Plugin customizer.
Uninstall HTC Home plugin and then install HHC and let it download the Home plugin. then you can customize the heck out of it and most likely add that theme from the page you listed.

Manila 2.5

Research for me has turned up somewhat conflicting results, so I ask if the community can shed some light, and in turn enlighten some of us who are in the dark.
Please correct me as I am sure there are some flaws in my knowledge here.
1. Manila / Sense 2.5 has been released officially, but only for the HD2 / Leo? And as such will only be released for this device.
leading to 2. therefore, the TP2 will never have *official* support for Manila 2.5 and it's lovely widget home / full-screen weather home screens
leading to 3. The Leo has no need for landscape support for all it's stuff because it doesn't have a keyboard?
leading to 4. I can discern that Manila 2.5 has added features such as Tiwtter integration and what has really piqued my interest, this "footprint" lark.
leading to 5. I am confused about Manila. It's obviously the program the runs the fancy TF3D interface jibbery-joo, but in some places I get the impression that it's heavily integrated into the windows ROM and so must come already baked in, and in other places It seems like it could almost be a cab file, ready for install?
leading to 6. does anyone know if HTC plans to give us poor TP2 users a widgetized home screen?
leading to 7. In some screen shots I have seen both the widgetised home screen, weather animations and footprint screen in use on what otherwise appears as Manila 2.1, especially the footprints things. Is this a seperate, installable module?
If it is possible to install the components (like footprints) or Manila 2.5 seperately, is there anyone offering them up, can't find them myself?
Many thanks for listening, it's all getting rather confusing.
Landscape support
Go to the aplications side of the thread. Theres apost called "Project Pulse"
Its a mod of 2.5 that supports landscape in all tabs but is still in early form with a few bugs. The developer is working on the bugs and will continue to update it. Its deffinatly worth looking at if you want to see landscape support for 2.5

well friend this doesn't need to be in the rom section but ill see what i can do with your questions.
1. yep it has been made for the htc touch hd 2 but i am guessing it will be made for future devices and touchflo 3d will be gone for good kinda of like what happend between touch flo 2d when 3d came out.
2. it is very doubtful that the touch pro 2 will get an upgrade like 90% chance of no.
3. Yea pretty much why they didn't just make a landscape now is beyond me i know they will eventually maybe if that rumor about the touch hd pro comes out or something.
4 Yea 2.5 has twitter app which really is just alright i would rather use twikini. And footprints has been out for awhile on touch flo 2d.
5.Its kinda of both in a sense there are plenty of cabs for touch flo 3d but it is built in by htc as a more or less skin such as spb mobile shell.
6. Very doubtful htc loves moving forward with things.
7.If you could show us a pic i might be able to answer that but someone would have to port footprints to 2.1 and i really doubt thats gonna happend any time soon.

Thanks for your answers man.
You're right it shouldn't be in the ROM section. But I kind of ummed and aarrred about it, and as you said yourself, it's a mixed bag whether manila is cooked in or not. Haha.
But very informative and I appreciate the time your took to reply. Kind of gives a good indication.
I was trying to install sense 2.5 in my TP2 until now ! thanks for posting this

i wanted so much a good rom with 2.5 for my tp2.. what i wanted was a french version of the fusion rom, but as we know, attomang seems to have vanished because of some scamming business he tried...
however here's what i think about the OFFICIAL future of sense 2.5 in landscape : pocket now showed us some leaked pictures of upcoming htc models coming in 2010 (based on some xda informations), and it comes out that there's a tp2-like device coming out.. so if it isn't an android based device, i think we can hope that it will come with 2.5 (and that we can base our future roms on the one that will be provided with it)
---> look at thje third one called "TERA"
http://pocketnow.com/tech-news/hot-three-new-htc-windows-mobile-phones-for-2010
(sorry if me english bad.. me native language french xD)
EDIT / for /7/ "home creen animated...".. it is present in the official 6.5 upgrade (so it's a winmo6.5 with sense 2.1) -- animated weather is on with the default wallpaper (or you can say when no wallpaper is chosen, or set for the homecreen)

Two TouchFLO versions on one phone?

Is it possible to install the original touchflo (rotating cube one) on my new HTC HD2 aswell as keeping the TouchFLO 3D that is already installed?
I like the new version except you can only access it from the today screen. The old version you could slide your finger up the screen to bring it up wherever you are on any screen.
They dont seem like they'd interfere with each other as the new one operates from the today screen and the old one seems to run as a standalone app.
If I find an installer for the old touchflo will it mess up my phone?
Thanks for any help with this!
