Hello folks! Is there a way to install HTC Home with the *working* weather-function to a original T-Mobile MDA III Compact? Tried several without success, weather did never show up. The other functions where OK though. Would appreciate any input or guideline. Thanks!
You have to turn on the function in youe today menu of course...
Well, in fact I did exactly that. I see the icons for the contacts, media player, weather etc. and all work. Except the weather icon. If selected the screen area stays empty.
help me then....
i have tried all of the cabs and apps but i dont have any results. it shows its installed but i have no htc home screen on my phone. i have the more popular mda with wm6 tnt rom. what am i doing wrong.

I have an O2 XDA Mini S and a T-Mobile MDA Vario.
The today screens are different configurations.
The O2 has some tabs across the bottom. One is for the Today home screen, one is for adding custom program links and the third is the settings window.
I would like to add these tabs to the Vario.
Does anyone know how this can be done?
you would have to install the O2 Active software. There's a bunch of alternative pieces of software which can achieve the same thing, though - cLaunch and such
Thanks ZeBoxx.
CLaunch - An even better solution to than the O2 one.

Have you even read your manual?
Those options should be available under settings >> Today Screen.
Also do some light reading all these basic answers should be available in a short google search.
i'm very sorry.
i did go to settings >> Today Screen. but i cant add anything...
all i see is
date
vodafone calendar
vodafone sms
vodafone mms
vodafone email
do i have to hold down somewhere or click somewhere to add "active tasks"
or can i not because its vodaphone branded? i cant seem to add "owner information" either
i know this sounds stupid but i really cant seem to add it...
thanks for your help in advance

Looks like you have some heavy vodaphone customisation. The options you have are not standard and tasks is normally available to choose. You have a few choices with varying degrees of difficlulty.
Flash ROM to non vodaphone branded one (not for the novice)
Investigate which registry keys affect today screen items, and make changes (moderate difficulty)
Install a third pary application that shows tasks - (simple)
Wait for someone with a vodaphone device to come up with an alternative (suitable for the easy going!)

Go for the thrid party softwares
Even if you change the registry you will never get rid of the operator's customisations
I've got Wisbar Advance Deskstop and Wisbar Tool
there is plenty of other's, check out the SBP range, its quite good
and all are very user friendly with plenty of skin cutomisation and stuff
Try the rltoday plugin, it free and see how you go

i;ve gone and got spb pocket plus but it just aint as good as having it on the today page
maybe i'll read up and attempt to put windows 6 on it
thanks again!
spb pocket plus are for experts
that was a bold step man
but that something to work up to, try wisbar then the desktop
and there are so many deskstop theme on the forum that you can upload
I've got 3 today screen thanx to the desktop
Have you changed your today theme away from the vodaphone one to a windows standard one to see if you can then change your items?
Attached is a cab installer for HTC Plus!
This application adds a nice clock and messages interface to the today menu, as well as adding an application launcher with included high quality icons for the applications.
As found, this application was non-functional. HTCImgCodec.dll has been added (exists in some ROMs already) and registry settings have been changed to disable the Backlight Adjust function. For some reason when this function is enabled the device hangs during boot and a hard reset is required to fix. You have been warned. DO NOT ENABLE BACKLIGHT ADJUST.
Screenshots below. More stuff to come.
UPDATE: I've replaced the file with an updated version. This update changes the installation defaults in a manner that should help anyone who experienced a problem installing the previous version. No changes are made in the plug-in, so if you already have it working don't bother updating.
another new one to try thanks bro awe3some!!
It looks interesting!! Thanks for the new stuff and more important, for the warning!
Very cool today plugin! Too bad it doesn't have weather... So, Ill stick to the HTC Home plug.
OK
Nice and pretty, thanks my friend.
not working x500 wm6 =(
now we need it customized like all the other HTC plugins.
Customisation
This plugin is easily customisable. The layout is stored entirely as bmp images under \Windows\HTCPlus. And all the programs chosen can be modified under HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCPlus\Shortcuts.

good
Very cool today plugin!
looks nice! can i still use htc customizer to customize it?
Nice today plugin.
However, it is still lag far behind O2 Plus, which has sould profile, call forwarding, task manager and more...
very nice man
Thanks
Nice! Although I still prefer HTC Home.
Looks great, but couldnt get it to work on my Touch. The today plugin does not appear on the screen, nor in the list with available plugins. The Options tab is present though :\
great thankz
thsnkz,
jdac21
Thanks a lot
I'm going to try it
Unfortunately not working
possible fix
I also originally had the problem where the plugin was not appearing in the list of plugins or on the today screen, but the HTC Plus tab was still displayed in settings. I was able to fix this problem by copying HTCImgCodec.dll into \Windows. I added it to the cab. Perhaps this file is not being copied? Check for its existence and try manually extracting it to \Windows if it doesnt show up.

I installed it on my Artemis with official HTC Asia WM6 rom and for me it works until you switch off the device. Than you can never switch it on again, only by soft reset with stylus!
So I uninstalled the prog quickly...
Otherwise it would be nice to have it on Today screen, so if someone could construct a bug-free cab from the extracted files I would really welcome it!
cheers
Will download an try when I get home!
has anyone been able to customize this plugin?
1. add voicemail to indicators
2. map text message indicator to palm threaded messaging app
i love the simplicity of this plugin, hopefully someone will develop this or perhaps point me in the direction on how to customize this plugin.
ive upgraded my device to wm6, I was wondering how do i get the big time clock, and shortcut keys for programs on the today screen? Ive seen it everywhere, but my one still looks plain.
thanks
Hi
its called htc home plugin - its around here somewhere.
cheers
thanks for your help
Hello, i'm getting puzzled by reading all these topics. I've just installed the original HTC new ROM, with WM6. I'm desperately searching for the HTC Home plugin, that beautiful today with icons and a big clock. I am sure that there should be a topic about that...but, could you be so kind to help me please?
Thank you
HTC P4350
