I am running the original T-Mobile Windows mobile 5.0 rom and have installed the htc home application so the weather function works on my MBW-150 watch. But the display is cropped on the top and bottom,I have tried different vertions but still no luck. Any help or pointers would be great
Have you tried removing Today plugins one at a time to
see which is crowding the display?
no even if there is only the htc plugin on the today screen its the same,If too many items are displayed a scroll bar is shown.
search for vga htc home plug in
What DPI setting are you using?
I am running the vga version, and the dpi is at what ever the standard WM 5 is (unless I am missing somthing and I can alter the DPI on WM5 ?
just got a XT7501 and facing the same problem. does anyone know the solution?
That version of the HTC home, which was an earlier version hacked to work on the Athena, only displays correctly at 96dpi.
If you want that to display properly, you need to install RealVGA, which can be found very quickly by searching these here forums, or try the new one in the AP4 addons cab.
Amazing what searching can do!!
**sarcastic rant over**
Well, I'm somewhat confortable with the standart resolution which brings me large buttons to touch on the go. Since I had HTCHome on my TyTNII, I was supposing they will work with standart resolution also. Guess I'm totally wrong and will need to read more about VGA, RealVGA, etc.

I will suggesto to go in the athena wm6 section, AP4 thread, download AP4 addons.rar, extract HTC HOME all DPI and test it!

As Sergiopi suggests that version of the HTC home will work in all DPI's, but you will not be able to use the HTC home Customizer application to change the icons, fonts, etc
There is also another HTC_HOME_VGA.cab that works in all DPI's and also allows you to use the customizer app.

Hi guys,
Welcome me to the family of HTC and WinMO. I bought HTC Touch yesterday and felt I am on the top of the world. It is purely exhilarating. The features, touch screen, touch flo, awesome. This is my first WinMO and Touchy.
I need some clarifications,
1. How should I bring the big digital clock in my desktop. Now I have a normal clock with hands. I tapped on it and holded for few secs, I then get the clock settings but no where can see the digital clock makeover.(Googled and tried).
I also tried to go to Start > Settings > Today > Items, removed TouchGlo and enabled HTCHome, stil same, enabled both, stil same and vice versa, stil same.
Please help me out in getting the digital clock.
2. I connected my HTC to my laptop in order to transfer music and wallpapers. But I need everything to be transferred to the card and not to the Phone. But I dunno where to put all the files in the card since it is not having any defined folders for music, pics.
Should I put it just in the card or should I create separate folders?
3. One step further, I always mod my mobile, like I do for my Sony. Heard the same thing is possible in WinMO too. Can any1 point me to a tutorial so I can cook my HTC too the extreme??

What device do you have specifically - HTC Touch Elf or Vogue
1. I have checked my settings on HTC touch Elfin and could not find how to change to Analogue clock - Mine is already digital - Perhaps check out HHC - HTC Home customizer which is available for free on this site
2. I created a seperate folder for music and movies on my storage card and just manually transfer them over to the folder on my storage card either through active sinc or using WIFI or Bluetooth. I havn't tried automatic sincronization of music into music folder - Don't know if you can to the storage card anyways.
3. To point you in the right direction you need to be specific as to which device you actually have. HTC Touch is not specific - Touch Vogue, Elf or Elfin - Or even Touch Diamond - Touch Pro, Touch Dual etc.....the ROM's you will try are device specific and if you flash the wrong ROM you could brick your device
Just install Manilla2D in development and hacking section your phone will rock then they will think you have the Touch Diamond
^^ thanks for the replies..here is the hardware and firmware details shown in my phone,
Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro
CE OS 5.2.19972
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
ROM Version: 3.07.720.03 WWE
Radio version: 03.34.90
Protocol version: 4.1.13.71
Model No: ELF0100
Hope the above details are enuf.
@Sulten
Will Manilla2D work for the above detailed phone?? If yes, please let me know how to install it since I am newbie and do not want to brick my new phone.
Also one more query what is the 'CUBE'??? Is it available in my phone?? How to see it?
T i A
Cube : just swipe your finger upward from bottom of screen and up then side to side to rotate cube. These instructions should be in your owners manual. I suggest really learning more about your device and how to use it before flashing any ROM's. I suggest you start with other applications (CAB's) to install on your device to customize since most can easily be uninstalled if they don't function properly. Once you have done a lot of reading and understand your device better, then if you wish, you can tackle flashing a new ROM. I personally haven't even flashed a custom ROM yet onto my device, but am starting to get tempted. I havn't done enough reading on it yet to even try or offer any advice in that area

Don't
First read and download this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892 so you can give useful info on your device, then spend a few days reading the different elf forums to know what you want and then decide what to do. There's no point calling for help in general, you have to state what is your prob .
Based on what you already said if you want the cube DON' T disable touchflo, this is it !!!

Think the screenshot shuld help wat prob I am facing..

The above version shows what looks to me to be touch flo 2D. If you have a ROM Flashed with Touch FLo 2d then I don't think you will have the cube. Touch Flo for Elf (reg not touch flow 2d is not a home plugin - the settings are found under settings and it is only a box to check on or off. This enables the cube and swiping for regular touch flow. HTC Home Plugin should show a digital clock- some buttons for SMS, EMail, Missed calles, and under those, your home screen button, Weather, Shortcuts and Ringer settings. Depending on which version of HTC Home you have you may also find, Music player controls and Quick dial shortcusts buttons.
The buttons at the bottom of the above picture are your page selection buttons for home, email, pictures, music etc... I havn't installed Touch flo 2d yet on my device, so don't know much about how it runs on the elf, but do know that it can be installed or flashed onto a device VIA custom ROM. THis is what I think you have on your device - therfore no cube or HTC Home Plugin.
I have done no changes to the phone yet..it's factory default watever I have got..how to change/update my HTCHome??? I need the digital clock badly as well as the CUBE(Just to show off)..Kindly help me out.
BTW thnx for the fastest reply.

Hi
If you had read the forums, you would have noticed that your configuration is what everyone wants and the cube is being deactivated (taking too much mem and few applications). Anyway if you like the big clock you can install Htc Home. You can also try Homescreen plusplus for skins http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350510
Greetings.
Ps refer to your device as an Elfin
thnx 4 the reply..but fm whr can i d/l htc home?? one more query..can v change the message tone to our own???

There's a line just below Welcome, [email protected] , on the top right, use "Search"
Good luck
I have used the search in this forum and searched your ROM Version and it is infact from what I have read an official WM 6.1 with Touch flo 2d. You do not have the cube sorry to say. You have basically the same thing as the HTC OPAL. If you disable Touch FLo then you might be able to use HTC Home Plugin, but it is not likely already on your device (it wouldn't be stock) so you might want to look into this and download the HTC Home plugin and see if you can get it to run. Once you install it you will go into your today settings and click HTC Home Plugin to run - this will not work if Touch FLo 2d is running. I don't know if you can get the cube installed and working or not. I havn't read anything about it in the forums as most people who are using Touch flo 2d say that the cube is intentionally left out of the mix because it slows the device down terribly with Touch flo 2d. Most prefer touch flo 2d and don't care about the cube. If you want the cube - you will likely have to look into flashing a custom ROM (non touch flo 2d) for your elfin. I strongly suggest doing much reading before attempting to do so as you don't want to brick your device.
^^thnx m8..it was clear..as of now I wil drop the idea of having the cube..atleast I need the HTC home installed.
@tito12
It's not I am not doing the search, I have done everythin I could and finally landed up here to ask help frm u guys..so pls let me know frm where I can get the HTC home plugin installed for my version of HTC.
Check out my post in this thread - Post # 7

I have provided copies of the Cab's for the HTC home plugin which I am using that I have found elsewhere in this forum. Read my post as you might have problems with backlight as well (if it even works on your device) - If it doesn't work - I can't help you - If it messes your device right up - do a soft reset to see if it works and if not then hard reset and that should get rid of it and bring you back to factory default settings. Should be low risk trying it anyways. (Hard Reset will delete everything on your device you have put on - so you will may want to back up some of your files
^^I searched and found a thread which had the HTC home plugin cab..I d/l and installed and nothin changed..I have got the same with addl. IE icon on the top..stil no digitsl clock..Is ther any spl instructions to d/l the plugin you have directed..or just run the cab file???
You should only have to send the cab to your device. On your device, click it to install. Once installed go Start - settings - today and click the Items tab at bottom - Find HTC home and click the box there - Uncheck everything else for now and then add what you want after. Just to check that it is working. You might have to do a soft reset after installing it though. If it isn't working with a soft reset and by folowing the steps I have listed, then it's probably not compatable
^^ U R MY SAVIOUR M8..It worked worked..Bingo..Hurray..Thnx a bunch m8..I owe u till my life ends..here is the screeny of my HTCHome.
Now my other queries..is the time shown only in white or it shows in black too..I think I can now use the HTCHome Customizer and customize to my needs..am I right???
What abt my other query?? Is the sms tone changeable to mp3 tunes???
Thnx once again all!!!

test shows that the slide to unlock is instantly available. By default, you may have to wait 1 or 2 seconds for it to work (have to wait for the left and right arrows to appear).
Try it ... you will find its much faster.
Hi all,
I'm new to the flashing rom thing but I flashed the latest energy rom for TP2 onto my tilt2. I just realized that the keyboard functions are considerably different since I flashed the new rom. I guess my device recognizes the keyboard as a Touch Pro 2 and not the Tilt 2 (AT&T) because the keys are mapped differently on the two devices. The TP2 has a row of numbers on top, while the Tilt 2 has the numbers accessible via the function key, and has symbols in place of the number row on the touch pro 2.
Is there a fix or a rom specifically for the tilt 2?
Yes, there is a fix, go back to the page where you downloaded the rom, and right under where you click to download the rom is another link labeled something like "addons and hotfixes". Click that, go to the hotfixes, and get the ATTKeybdfix.cab and once installed you'll be back to normal. Check out the addons too, you might find something you like
Will look for it, thanks
Update: Thanks it worked!
Hi
I Have a ROM with the keyboard function of the TP2 installed in mi Tilt 2.
"ATTKeybdfix.cab" can convert mi TP2 Key functions in Tilt2 Functions??
I can´t find "ATTKeybdfix.cab". Can you put the link here, please?
...sorry for my bad english
Here you go, your ATT Keyboard fix
Hope it helps.
