If you download and install HHC (HTC Home Customizer) it will download the proper HTC Home Plugin.

It hosed my HTC also - I installed a different HTC version and it started working but my weather update quit working
I switched to Spb Mobile and used some of greatbal's themes from this site -- I like that much better than HTC

If you don't want to install HHC you can always download the version of HTC Home that they use directly from their website

Thanks guys. I installed the HTC Home version (HTC Home Plugin v2.1 (patched by N2A)) from http://www.pocketemu.com/download8.html and it works. Weather works and brightness works.

dc13, thank you for your help, I just downloaded your cab... Sorry If I annoyed you by my request, but since the cab you posted doesn't even have a version number mentioned I assumed it was an older version of HTC Home
I did install the cab that you linked to. It installs the exact same HTCHome.dll that you can download from http://www.pocketemu.com/downloads19.html (I copied the \Windows\HTCHome.dll that was installed by the pocketemu.com cab onto my pc, uninstalled htchome, soft reset, verified that \Windows\HTCHome.dll did not exist, installed the cab that you linked to, copied the new \Windows\HTCHome.dll onto my pc and did a binary diff of the 2 files... they were binary identical)
So yeah, nothing new for me here, same HTC Home, same memory hog... I have been using both Pocket Digital Clock and cLaunch as an alternative to HTC home for a few days without problems (and I have more free memory), but then again all I wanted from HTC Home was the large clock and the easy to use finger friendly launcher so it is probably not a good alternative for everyone

[q] htc sync

The 22nd of august Kernel version from oe.netripper.com says:
Date: Sun Aug 22 19:45:09 2010 +0200
htcleo: add usb notification
Now the sense USB dialog is comming very fast.
USB Disk is working, Connection to HTCSync too.
The sync of bookmarks isn't working correctly, maybe a userspace problem
For other tests a outlook pc is needed
I installed it with attached ko files and work fine, except i cannot make "HTC Sync v2.0.40" to discover my HD2 running Darkstone 2.1.
HTC Sync does not see the HD2. ADB driver is installed, activating debugging in HD2 or not makes no difference.
I tried a "HTC Sync" 2.0.3, with same symptom.
I would like to try HTC Sync v3.0 but a serial for Nexus One is requested to download it.
If someone could supply a Serial for Nexus one, it would be nice or upload v3.0, thanks in advance.
Can some one explain which HTC Sync is necessary for our HD2?

its opening popup asking type of connection?
could not work with some builds I think... works with mattc 1.5 and 1.5b... but wifi need to be fixed

Thanks for the software. My device is recognised via HTC Sync, using mattc 1.5b, I can now sync my calendar but when I try to sync my contacts I get an error message that my device does not have enough free memory ... Any suggestions?

sorry, can't help u guys.. i migrated my contacts to gmail so my contacts and calendar syncs with gmail..

Did you install ADB ? you need this for it to work I think well its working fine here. On XP I went to control panel hardware device manager found ADB and updated driver pointing to location of files.
Edit : OK I see ADB installed already

Where does it ask for connection?
On the PC or on the HD2?
When i connect the USB cable HD2 ask to activate the USB device, answering activate or not, does not improve.
And on HD2 shall we enable USB Connection, USB debugging or both?
Thank for help.

When i install HTC Sync v2... or v3... it also install ADB driver in my "Windows 7 X86" without error.
May be a specific driver is necessary for W7 ?
Where did you find yours?
Thx

Sense!!!
It looks to work with mattc 1.5 and 1.5b, which are Sense version.
I use Darkstone v2.1 which is sense less.
Can it be the reason why it does not work for me??

It was posted in the thread by thattruth132 here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748896&highlight=adb but its for xp, there is a link to android developers site in that thread there is a adb file in the pack which might help, but it sound like you have the correct driver already.

HTC Sync 3.0.5422
Try with this brend new version dated 23.8.2010, but same pb, HD2 is not seen.
Also try this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=756513
new version r6, no success.
It does not work, HD2 is not recognised by HTC Sync.
I wonder if some of you achieve to make it working with a Sense-less version?

From where did you get the new version? From the official site you need a serial number and I don't have one ...

It seems from HTC's website that there is an htc sync software on the phone. So I think your guess is right. Maybe it is like Activsync where part of it is on the device and another on the PC.
Also, when HTC sync 3.0 was released, it was for Wildfire only and the new version supports more devices. Maybe if the rom is based on one of these devices without much modification, it would still be recognized.

use this and the latest GIT kernel. HTC sync will work on sense Rom

i think htc sync will work only in ROM with Sense UI, not working in Cyanogen mod.

This was also my guess, you are right. I tried the mattc 1.6 with HTC Sync 3.0.5422 and it works like a charm. This mattc 1.6 is a Sense version which confirm our guess. As one of you said, may be a software is necessary in the non-sense version, the pb is, which one?
If some one has an idea?

HTC Sync 3.0??

Yo all!
Did abit of searching but didnt find much info...
i went to HTC's website to download HTC Sync, and i went to get the latest 3.0 version, typed in my Serial No. and it accepted it...
But it wont actually sync with my Hero running Froydvillain.
I take it its not actually supported even though it accepted my SN?
Or if it is, please anyone shed some light haha
Im running Win7 64bit.
cheers
Keith

htc sync should work with sense UI roms.
froyd doesn't have sense.
So sory, it won't work
cheers

I'm using rcmix 2.2.

hope that helps.

where should I copy the files from the zip?

Use device manager to select the extracted drivers

DO NOT USE THESE DRIVERS! They are old and don't really work all that well, they were hacked together (quite well) but in the latest HTC Sync's (both 2.0.40 and 3.0.*) HTC have included proper 64-bit drivers. Use them as they include ADB support out of the box instead of having to switch every 5 minutes.

MANGO update

did someone test it on our HD2 with this procedure http://windowsphonehacker.com/articles/get_the_mango_update_now._without_being_a_developer.-06-30-11 ? Works it or not ?
thanks.

It won't work since it still requires for you to install the beta over zune...

can't someone with a device it will work on do a dump of the rom post-install??

What Beta to install over the Zune ?

Sorry man, you are not the first one asking this. There are several other threads about the mango-update for now, why open another one?
No its not working. How should it, did you ever update your hd2 with wp7 over zune? I guess not. We have to wait till dft or the legendary yuki build a rom that will be flashable via magldr. there is no other way!

you need to remember my friend that the HD2 is not ment to have WP7 on it at all.
The only reason we do have it is because of some test drivers that were made way back, these test drivers are not finished drivers which is why we have a dodgy touch screen / battery/ camera / flashl
anyhow, even if it were possible to install the update on the HD2 via zune you would very likely end up buggering up your device. All it takes is for MS to overwrite one of our special drivers and that would be it.
so in short, the only way we have of upgrading is to reflash when someone releases a HD2 compatible ROM, thats it, as of right now there is no other way.

Ok, thanks for explanation.

7740 update

Has everyone got this update from Zune with BTTF rom? I updated to 7720.68 through Zune but no updates after that. Does it have to be forced?

Didn't get the update through Zune, so updated with a standalone .cab, easy and fast. You might want to do the same and not bother waiting for Zune.

Hello, I have a T-MOUS HD2 running the original (working) WP7 by the DFT from late February. Do you think you could point me at a link for a more recent 7.5 ROM? I've been going in circles trying to go through all the forums...

Any noticeable difference with this update?? Is it updateable via zune?

Seemed to speed up start load time. Apart from that, nothing. If it is, it didn't work for me.
