HTC Home plugin on Athena WM6

I've tried going through all the Home Plugin posts on these forums, but can't find my particular problem in any of them.
I have an Advantage with Dutch WM6, official download from HTC.
I have RealVGA running smoothly.
I wanted the HTC Home Plugin, so I downloaded the latest I could find here (v2.0, Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen) and ran the .cab along with all the cert.cabs I could find.
As expected, it looks funny at 192dpi, but works very nicely at 96dpi.
BUT...
The clock works and all the messaging-shortcuts work, but all the other tabs (pref. calling, weather, launcher and soundsettings) are non-functional.
When I try to add something to the launcher, it just gives me a generic folder-icon without any option to actually select a program.
Selecting a contact for the pref. calling tab doesn't do anything at all. The weather tab is empty.
Has anyone else had these problems, and if so what should I do about it?

HTC home plugin VGA
Try HTC home plugin VGA, it work OK with 192 dpi also.
Tried it, and all I got was a blank spot where the Home Plugin should be.
Even tried substituting another .dll, no dice.
The only one that gives me anything (home tab at 96dpi) is HTC.Home.v2.1.1005.722.Directory.Fix.Only.schen.
Thanks for the idea, though.
Hmm, It does work at 96dpi on my athena no problem, if it is any use to you Im running it on PK3 Black touch rom.
I assume that you tried the app with the previous one uninstalled and that it is selected in settings >today> Items.
If you tested the file attached,perhaps is worth to do a search for the original file Just in case it got corrupted when uploading.
good luck with it anyway.

Maybe it's because it isn't embedded in the ROM? (doesn't PK3 have it in the ROM?)
I think I read on the forum that that was a problem with the Athena...
PK3 Black touch has the regular home plugin as an add on, it did not look proper in 192 and 128dpi, it wasn't that bad but then the newer app came and solved that problem, I don't know about black dual though,I'm waiting for PK4, also if you are interested there is SnapVue around, it does look fab in landscape mode, in portrait how ever it cut the right side.
Regards
search my dual thread. there is a plugin that works in all dpis.

Would that be snapvue?
Also, maybe I'm being blind, but I am wondering whether I've been stupid and I just need compact frmework to make everything work?
Man, I am a total noob, aren't I...
I want to thank you all for all your help!
This forum is such a great resource, and you're all very cool for helping me out.
Snapvue: Get the plugin working, but only the calendar-view works. All others don't even show up as tabs.
HTC Home: Tried the last versions from the Dual thread; they other don't show up at all or (2.1) only show the Home-tab correctly. All other tabs non-functional.
I'm beginning to think these just will not work with the Dutch 6.0 ROM, and I am not in a position to change ROMs right now.
Seems this isn't meant to be for me just yet...
Possible problemsolver:
rename the MUI to 0413 (dutch) as opposed to 0409 (english)?
I'll give that a shot when I get home.
I have given up on HTC Home Plug
I can't get the launcher portion to operate properly on either version. It is nice to have the numbers not be cut off on screen, but if I can't adjust the brightness on the fly, it won't work for me. Perhaps it isn't playing nice with some of my other software (of which there are many!) I'll wait for the new 4.0 ROM and see if that solves my problem.

Yeah I tried it. On the Advantage in Landscape mode is covers the whole srceen and you can't get to anything below it. In Portrait mode it takes up about half the screen.

IGO 8 in PK 4

Hello ,
I did installed the IGO navigation software and I can't open the application .
I got the icon on today , the icon in programs , but no chance to start it. Does not react to any enter , click or anything?
Anybody does have the same problem?

Yes, Many, many people had this issue and asked the same question. Have you read ANY of the AP4 threads?
It seems based on what I read, that if you uncheck/remove the HTC home screen form the today screen you may get it to work. Not sure as I don't use IGO, if that doesn't work check the various AP4 threads or search the threads
Good Luck!
Agreed I found that disabling the HTC Home plugin allowed iGO8 to run; others have found it necessary to disable Touchflo as well.
I assume you have a legitimate version? The cracked versions can be much more troublesome

1)disable htc home in today settings
2)softreset
3)disable vueflo from settings/system/athena config app (optional) it may work without this step

It's not warez mister Legally Advisor. I assume that you have no demo on your computers / pda . You paid for everything that you are using , and did not remove the commercials from the free items like YM etc.
In this real world , sometimes you have to get first something , see if is working , then when the trial is done , you decide to buy or not to buy. I do not want to put 100 Pounds in something before I see it working.
But I am sure that you are some ASDA customer and you got the PDA from your employer so this problems are not common to you. Please keep away from the posts that are not for you. This is not a food thought forum. Thanks

Here's some 'food thought' for you.
Your exact words were 'Is not a legitimate copy'. Therefore you are using warez. The demo version is legitimate.
apd was quite correct to point out that we will not provide support for warez. We also won't help those with bad attitude, so you are SOL.
Bye.

I couldnt get australian maps till recently and following above instructions with "evaluation"version of Igo8 am running it on ap4 without htc home.
I like it better than Igo2006se as reattaching the keyboard doesnt stuff up the controls.
Also I can change the orientation of the screeen and Igo remains in landscape whereas Igo2006 would again stuff up.

Funny that you're getting so angry if your software is legal...."is not a legitimate copy" were your words.
If warez are condoned on this site, it will eventually have problems. and then we all lose out. Go reflect on that and try not to be quite so sanctimonious next time.

Really .... OMG ?! And who will come to inspect my PDA around the world ?! I think that you have a problem called frustration , cause you can't find cheap software. Try with doctor Phil ....
An intersting scenario I found when on holiday in Slovenia this week- in a quiet moment, I installed the Manila Dialler (I'd never tried it before!); I then forgot I'd done it.
I then needed SatNav in a hurry due to some roadwords and lack of road signs- could I get iGO8 to start? No Soft reset, tried disabling all Today Items, disabling VuFlo- still nothing. Gave up.
Got back to hotel and decided to look in ' Remove Programs' then remembered the Manila Dialler. Removed it, and iGO worked again
So, iGO8 in AP4 doesn't like Manila, or HTC Home, but for me is OK with VuFlo active.

Swype it, cab it!

Have you seen that input method?
Swype, check it out! They show with HTC's Diamon later in the video:

does anyone knows more about a cab ^^?
---EDIT 1---
here more information:

Yup, cabs are not yet publicly available, we'll all have to wait. And if this is going out to anyone but OEMs we'll have to wait even longer, right now our hopes are on a demo version or something I guess.
Same discussion here.
oh not seen it...
thank you!

Tried the cab from modaco on Touch HD. Find it kinda sluggish.. not so much the swyping part, but the words appearing pretty slowly.
This could be because XT9 is present too. Didn't see this in the video on Swype website. Don't know how to turn it off. Anyone?
Swype? No thanks!
Swype? No thanks It don't works!!!! I prefer Dasur SlideIT it works perfectly on my Sony Xperia X1 and on the Htc Diamond 2....I think Swype has some kind of problem to get in to work or maybe is not compatible at all.....they make me laugh when they appear with their video copy like Apple-style Brand and try to shock the world with a new invention when on the markey there is already better product. Please Swype- men do a better job next time. Ciao
SLIDEIT
Yes the name is DASUR SLIDEIT, you can even try it for one month then if you like it you buy it...if you don't.....
Any kind soul can help - how to make HTC XT9 predictive word suggestion not appearing when using Swype? This makes Swype sluggish.
I suppose this is because this cab is meant for Omnia, which do not have XT9.
try to find the setting of ezinput...
btw,this function isn't working in the cab file provided.
Statistical Tracking
Keep track of your speed using Swype’s built-in statistical tracking.
just installed the cab couple days ago, it works pretty good on my fone.

eh, Swype works perfectly fine here, but the cabs floating around are English-only. I'm going to have to guess that's not the language you're wanting to use..
I've tried both and in my view Swype is infinitely superior - it even looks slicker. I'm on an HD2 mind you, perhaps the processor and larger screen help.
It's worth noting that the original thread for Swype was closed down at the request of the Swype developers as they were working OEM only. I also saw a thread today suggesting Swype was to be made more widely available...who knows!
meh i don't like this one :/ I just can't write anything on this app

A 2 second check on google for swype cab found it for me!
Swype works way better than I expected, I've been looking for a good sip for one handed operation and I can use this with my index or thumb and its as quick or quicker than my X1 hardware keyboard. This is pretty much the best sip I've ever used easily, only problem is I'm having problems where it switches back to the horrible default windows mobile keyboard very often... might have to try sipchange or something... But very impressed with swype, from the same creator of T9 input, its very versatile easy to correct and add words so it's my sip of choice, I just gotta figure out why it keeps going back to the default keyboard

Skype mobile 2.5 beta

Has anybody tried it yet? on my phone, it will crash EVERY single time im either trying to make a phone call or trying to pick up an incoming one. just trying to find out if anybody else encounters this. on a related note: i lost the cab for the (in my case working) version 2.2.0.45. if somebody could please send it to me so i can at least use it again? i tried skype's forum, but the people there are useless
thx in advance
ombre
edit: found the cab. on a russian forum. damn, i forgot most of my russian.. oh well. still interested if someone has the same problem with the 2.5beta tho
Hi,
Skype is just working perfectly for me. I don't know what version it is but downloaded it yesterday from skype directly (2.5 beta).
Dont know if the German language is available in this install:

General problem with WM devices. Try fring, they somehow managed to reroute the sound from the back to the front speaker. works quite well actually.

Thanks! It works well, the only disadvantage is that you cannot change the volume of the ringtone.
Skype with S740
Skype does work very well on S740 (using Skype 2.5) but i'm forced to use the HEATSET!!!
But got a new problem after installing Real Dice Poker:The Skype notificationflag doesn't show anymore on my homescreen titlebar
I already tried to Hard Reset my S740 but even that did not help.
(Flag does show after entering "Recent Programs" in titlebar)
Any ideas what i should do to get back that systemicon on my homescreen?

Any other input than Ezinput1.5 for Nike??

thanks
