Anyone knows where to find the HTC Home App that used to be on the tytn and some other phones before they had TF3D?
I prefer that to TF3D as I still have full access to my today screen
i don't know if htc home scrren works on xperia (guess not because of resolution) but you can install SecondToday to have a fully customizable old style today to use with tflo3d
search for pjc htc home - it's a vga version and works perfectly on my x1. apart from the fact that it doesn't appear to have the audio player. :-(
do let me know if you manage to find a version with the audio player ...
Yes it works.
But not the weather tab. Any solution?
it works but causes a bit of lagginess on the today screen. any other tried and tested ones?
Anyone knows how I can have weather working?
a reg hack here has fixed mine :

Switched to SPB v4 instead of HTC Home and was wondering is there was a way to still use the weather pannel, especially since Slide2Unlock can display the today info now ?
TIA
Anyone ? Bump ;-)
I am currently using a rom with touchflo2d built in and it has been great. But I miss using weather panel for its forecast and radars. Is there any way to make this a standalone app to access through programs instead of only on today screen? I've searched around and haven't been able to come up with anything any help is appreciated.
i would be interested in this also spb mobile shell weather never seems to work for me since i've been in the us so i'd like to use another program in to run with s2u2
there are weatherpanel forums that are independent of xda devs, try asking your q there and u might get an answer.
On my diamond I use "second today", Works great with battery status. It's around somewhere but i don't know how it is with non vga devices, can't see why it would make a difference though.
I am using a TILT with Hyperdragon III. I have Weather panel and battery staus on SecondToday.
Second Today worked
Thanks Uniqueboy and Mcfarlan........ secondtoday worked great, now it is one of my "programs" in touchflo2d. Even changed the icon in the .exe file to a weather icon so it looks proper..... thanks again
it's kind of sad that the weather panel skin by rumball isn't included in Manila 2D. they should've taken it.
Has anyone created a diamond theme based on the Vogue? I like the Homescreen and original touchflow 1.0 (Cube) much better than TouchFlow 3D, which is still really slow and almost unsuable.
What kind of theme do u think of?
Disable TF3D and install your fav. of the cube apps...
example
You could try to install the HTC Home Customizer (latest version).
This tool can download the HTC Home screen from the Touch (Vogue; Elf)..
But I don't know if it works with VGA... but you could try it
Yes, this is what I want, but the Cube apps don't work on VGA screens.
Hmm... I'm sorry but I can't find a VGA-cube too...
maybe the VGA HTC Home Plugin helps u a bit?
VGA HTC Home Plugin
I have searched all over but haven't been able to find if the regular HTC Home today plugin has been ported to WVGA screen resolution yet for the Touch Pro 2. If anyone has any information or a cab file that would be greatly appreciated. I like to use this in conjunction with Ultimate Launcher. Will Ultimate Launcher work with WVGA screen resolutions? Any information on this would be great as well.
Thanks in advance!
I'm using UltimateLaunch. It works fine. You just need to adjust the numbers for the increased resolution. The transitions from tab to tab aren't too smooth, but if you play around with the Animation Duration and Acceleration you should find something you like. Forget the Cube though. I've tried everything and can't get it to look good while turning. You can also turn off the animation altogther be setting it to None.
There are a number of VGA versions of the Home Plugin Floating around. I haven't tried any but they should work fine with WQVGA. Try here.

Thank you popdog54. That is interesting information about the ultimate launch program. I really prefer it in combination with the the HTC Home plug versus the manilla 2d or 3d. I will have to play with it a bit and see how it goes. Thanks for the link on the HTC Home Plug. I was specifically looking for WQVGA/WVGA and didn't realize that VGA would work.

I tried the HTC Home when I first got the TP2, and it crashed.
Removing it was the solution - is this a QVGA specific adaption or just a slightly different version than I have which works on the TP2?
I just prefer Home/TodayAdgenda to TouchFlo!
Bump
Any updates to the HTC Home for WVGA? I still prefer it to touchflo.

I am using PJC HTC Home on my Touch Pro2...works great...even the weather plugin.

Forgot to mention that i use the great app, ultimate launcher as well.
I have used a VGA version on my 8525/Hermes, Fuze/Raphael and now Tilt2/Rhodium with no problems.. The cab is called HTCHOME2.CAB, you can find many links for it.
But if you have a custom wallpaper, then it will not display correctly in the background. I sized a picture of my kids at 480x800, and the section underneath the HTCHome is "stretched" to VGA resolution. Doesn't bother me as my phone is locked most of the time and the wallpaper shows correctly when locked.
Hi all...
I really searched the hell out of me and didn't find anything that helped me.
I upgraded my Topaz ROM from WinMobile 6.1 (original build) to a 6.5 Version with Manila 2.5 (Shadowline Series Build 28014x3) today. So far everything was good.
Until I tried the full-screen weather plugin. Since then my htc has (displaying) problems. The Today-Screen does not display anymore (it always shows the last screen, e.g. at logon the PIN-input screen remains) (=issue 1). I can still open the start menu which works and use all programs, except the settings tab, which gets highlighted as if started and then hangs as well (=issue 2). And so unfortunately I cannot remove the option for full-screen weather anymore.
Is there a chance to make the full-screen weather plugin undone in the registry (I couldn't find a tweak for this) as I think that this feature is the reason for the problems.
I knew that Manila 2.5 would be a bit too much for the Topaz for it only has 528 MHz. Now this is what I have from my desire for this build :-/
I already downloaded a ROM from Dutty and one with Sense 2.1. Nevertheless I wanna try the Shadowline without the weather plugin as well (as I like this ROM most). What would you experts suggest? Downgrade to Sense 2.1, use Dutty's ROM (which is said to be faster) or what else?
Thanks for any help!!!
Manfred.
The problem is HTC Sense
Latest news...
Without htc sense the ROM works fine. I unchecked the option in the registry (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense -> Enabled=0), restartet my Topaz. Then I chose windows standard for the home screen -> works.
Nevertheless I want to use HTC Sense but cannot find the reg-key for deactivating the full-screen weather option. The Sense seemed to have worked fine until I chose this option and set my home town as weather-location.
Thx, Manfred.
just make or pick a plain wallpaper and select it as animated wallpaper and the homescreen animation will go away.
Re-installation works
I re-installed the ROM completely and now it works, even if the full-screen weather animation is on. Okay, the animation runs slowly but nothing freezes as it was before.
Thx for your support.
