Develop Bugs

Home - Launcher configurator was born!!!

Hi all, I created this little utility to insert external programs (from storage card i.e.) into the HTC home today plugin, knowing that I can choice only \windows\ and \start menu\ programs!!!
with my utility you can assign 9 programs to the 9 buttons on "launcher" HTC home, and can choice the programs everywhere you want!!!
try it!!!
bye!!!
in this days, I think to have ready another utility to configures applications into homelaunchplug, that for now, if I'm not wrong supports only 3/4 programs to launch!!! ;-)
bye!!!!!!
[EDIT]
last modification, Program all in english language now!!!
new release ita and eng... with icon importing for choices buttons!!!
reupped for a little bug on creating temp icon folder!!!
new version only ITA: configure also htc-home plug

Good job ... "click on a butotn to choice:" = "click on a button of your choice:" .... "filtro:"= "filter:' ..... "Annulla" = "Cancel" ... "Lista file" = "File list".
*.exe is the only filter? I think you have to add .lnk too.
Just a suggestion

yes, you are right, but if there is a .lnk file, that means that there is ever another "exe", for the link file.... I think it's same!!!
bye!!!

Thanks for this cab,i've found an other solution,with the registry key HKLM/software/htc/htchome/launcher.At path i put my favorite shortcut.

hmm... my home plugin lets me put programs that are on my storage card without this cab file.. am i missing something?

Depends if the are installed and have a lnk file in the programs of the start menu.
I have some exe files on my storage card (for example games) which I don't have to install after a hard reset / flash. With this util I can configure the home plug directly to the exe files. A work around is creating .lnk-files in the programs folder the start menu or modifying the registery.

Is it possible to edit this plugin so you could say, replace the weather tab with pocketbreeze or something?

new release English and Italian with images importing on buttons!!!
bye!

new version only ITA: configure also htc-home plug

really nice tool!

works on any ROM?
I'm working with Mun 2.01 Te ROM and I tried to install these cabs
It seems to worm , but on the today screen anything appears
where is the problem?
thanks

change asignment for buttons

Hi,
Its possible to change the navi button asignment from TomTom to another program ( ie R66, iGO, )
Thanks in advance

isnt there a "settings" option exactly for that? (start->settings->buttons ...or how ever it is called in the english version)

yes, but I dont found the program ( iGO for me ).
I found just uninstall IGO - and this thing I dont want in this moment

make sure you can see the application you want in the start menu folder in the windows directory as buttons can only be assigned to apps that appear here

really works , thanks you .

A guide for Brazilian people who wants to install WM6.1

First of all, let me say that so far, there is no Portuguese-Brazilian version of Wm6.1 for the HTC S-621 and maybe this will never exist at all…
If you are new to ROM Upgrading, you MUST read this! - PDF file - 2,5 mb + - (pages 1 to 11 only - keyboard issues are treated here)
That said, let´s cover the main issues you may have (at least the ones I faced) when upgrading to 6.1 for brazilian people.
Before we get started, let me tell you that I´ve tried all 4 flavors of roms available (so far) in this forum (in chronological order, i guess):
1 - Kavana
2 - Kavana remade by Rickwatt
3 - NGR Rose Rom
4 - NGR Rose Rom remade by Ricky and Stylez
And the best one that fits in my S621 (when you talk about funcionality and the little amount of trouble) is the second one (Kavana remade by Rickywatt) in this thread:
CLICK HERE to get Kavana remade by Rickywatt
With all other ROM´s i had some irritating issues, like CAP key nonresponding, comm manager not opening when you click on it, dialing “0” (zero) and getting TAB instead, typing “£” sign instead of “ç” and so on….
The very first change you MUST do is changing emergency number (911 does not work in Brazil – 190 does). All other changes but this one can be postponed, once you are dealing with life!
In order to do that:
Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – MYTOOLS – REGISTRY EDITOR
Find these Regkeys:
HLM/Security/ECall
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and change the “911” number to “190” (wich is the emergency call here in Brazil) – Confirm Change.
Find
HLM/Security/EcallWithoutSIM
Scroll Down to LIST, press Center Button and add “190” number. Press Done, Confirm change and repeat steps with:
HLM/Security/ECallWithSIM
Add “190” to it the same way.
DO NOT softreset the device yet (it´s necessary for changes to take effect)... there are other changes to do before softreset (Just to not waste time resetting it several times).
Needless to say that by doing this, you´re setting your phone to dial 190 (the emergency number here in Brazil – Remember, this guide is for brazilian people) even if keypad is locked.
______________________________________________________
Now let´s change some regional settings to best fit our needs here in Brazil.
Goto START – SETTINGS – CLOCK AND ALARM – DATE AND TIME.
Change TIME ZONE from London,Dublin (mine is at it – Who Knows why?) to GMT -3 Brasilia. At this point, you are able to change clock top to 24 hour format (I prefer) by changing values on CLOCK ON TOPBAR item (this step is optional)
Yet in settings, goto REGIONAL SETTINGS and change LOCALE to PORTUGUESE-BRAZIL. Press Done then OK.
Remember DO NOT soft reset yet.
Click done twice.
____________________________________________________
Let´s fix keyboard issues
Download Attached file to your PC to set up keyboard.
Is it done? Cool... now let´s do the trick: Goto START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one. DO NOT TYPE ANYTHING YET! Press FN + SPACE Keys to bring the language menu. Navigate to LANGUAGE (3) Choose PORTUGUESE (8). At this point, try typing a single letter, like the “a” character. You´ll notice that the XT9 dictionary will suggest you to use “a à á â ã” (for those out of Brazil, we use this special symbols very often). This is the predictive text working as it should be in all other ROM´s, but unfortunately, things are not as it were supposed to be.
Let´s go on...
Try pressing FN key and type the “J” letter... You´ll get an £ (Libra) sign instead. Type FN key again and type the “K” letter…. You´ll get an $ (Dollar) sign. It´s wrong… at least in my keypad, if you press “J”, “K” or “L” with FN, you should get the “ç”, “º” and “ª” signs.
Nevermind… let´s fix this…
Done with your annoying “ HEY! this is not the key i wanted to show up” thing? Ok. Now you can discard the note (press MENU button and choose CANCEL).
Remember the “eT9.Excalibur.0409.kmap.txt” file attached here? Did you got it? Put it in your mobile´s Windows folder, replacing the existing one. Your keyboard is fixed now, but do not test it yet, because it needs a reboot to apply changes.
________________________________________________________
NOW is the time for the first soft reset. Press IE key (this will bring Celetask) goto MENU – UTILITIES – REBOOT – confirm and wait.
Get back to text notes (START – ALL PROGRAMS – TEXT NOTES and click NEW to create a new one), and try typing something, like “jo”. You´ll notice that the XT9 Dictionary is giving you some options, like “jô jogo José jogos jogadores jornal”. It means the dictionary is working properly, as it should be in all other roms, but unfortunately, it only works in Kavana´s remade by Rickwatt. God knows why!
Now, try to type any vowel (a e i o u). Let´s take “e” for example. The XT9 give you some options like: “e é ê”. You see? Again, it´s the predictive text working as it SHOULD be in ALL other ROM´S...
Let´s try one last word... type “versao". It Will give you the option to use “versao versão”. (Just for your knowledge us-citizens, versão means version).
Ok? Done? Are we even? Now, let´s make it more confortable to use...

Some will say: “Hey, there is a Free RAM utility already built into the ROM!” or “Hey, there is CELETASK that does this trick!”.
Ok... I agree... I totally agree and I surrender. Use it! You done? Now, go to main screen and try to go to Comm Manager... close it using celetask. Try to open it again…Could you? Me neither. It´s a very common and strange bug among alternative ROM´s.
Oxios memory does the trick without this issue!
Whenever you want to free up some RAM (and speeding up your smartphone as a consequence) use Oxios Memory (the icon is a skull with a black hat and a red stripe on top of the hat). It´s completely harmless and best of all – free and works!
That´s it… Rom developers, I hope you see this topic and try to help us here in Brazil by including at least the keyboard layout and the predictive text in your future rom´s.
I´m waiting for comments, thanks! I also hope to help other people in trouble, like I once was.

Sorry guys... i forgot to upload file...

Thank you very much!!

Very nice topic... it helps a lot.
I still have some troubles: how do you change the IE key to open internet explorer instead of celetask?
I'm using WM 6.1 by kavana but i don't think it was remade by anyone... i've downloaded you file but there is no portuguese option when i press fn + space. Do you have a any idea y?
And finally, have u downloaded any cab file to install the portuguese keyboard layout after installing your WM version?
Thanks in advance

I don´t know how to change IE key to open IE, maybe some registry tweak, try search this forum... IE sucks a lot and I don´t care at all. Even when I was running the original WM6.0 from Vivo, I never used that key, so I really don´t care at all.
In the beginning of this thread, you may have noticed that there is a link to "KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT" right on top of the post, so, it WAS remade by "anyone" (in this case, Rickywatt - Thanks, Rickywatt). Kavana was the first one, then came the others with improvements.
And as you may already know (because I assume you did read this thread entirely), this is the only ROM that I had no several issues with keyboard. All others were trouble and a pain in the * to fix keyboard. That´s why I gave up all others and stayed with Rickywatt.
If there is no portuguese option when you press fn + space, maybe it´s because it´s not Rickywatt´s ROM.
Please, download Rickywatt´s and try again the instructions I posted here. As I was making this guide, I was doing it in real time just to be sure it´s accurate. I did it three times in my device and three other times in different devices (I mean, the same HTC-S621 from different people). So, if you apply them step-by-step as I posted here, you´ll see things are gonna work properly.
And finally, I haven´t downloaded any CAB to make keyboard work properly. Almost everything was already built in Rickywatt´s ROM, I just made some adjustments in the TXT file posted here. As I said, install KAVANA REMADE BY RICKYWATT and follow my instructions here and you´re good to go.
Thanks

Hi buddy,
first: thanks for the tutorial!
second: I have a S60 BT, but I couldn't installed any rom. Every time I get a "corrupted rom" message. Have you ever seem this? I've read something that my phone could be blocked and that would be the reason.
I've tried to used that unlock from Rick, but didn't work. Do you have any more tip?
Thanks a lot man!

Try Google... Take a look @ this or this.
It's a very common error and easily fixed just by getting attention when upgrading ROM. There are SEVERAL topics about it. Use the search tool.

All files needed and info are there

I tried to change de et9 file in Windows directory but in this version i'm using (wm 6.5 build 21848 nrgz evolution mod) there is some type of protection that prevents me from deleting/editing the file.
I attempted to change de read-only atribute but it doesn't changes.
Any ideas?

First of all, copy the txt file anywhere on your device using your pc.
Now, in your device, use Resco Explorer to copy (and overwrite) this file in the Windows folder. Restart and you´re done.
Regards.

No one in Portugues Brasil yet?
Nenhuma versao 6.1 em portugues ainda?
We all brazilian guys here could ask these guys who do this modifieds roms how to translate or offer our help to translate something to our native language! If anyone here have contact with this guys and would like to help. I coud help!

Touch Pro 2 keyboard without a "Tab"

Please help.. how can i do a "Tab" on Onenote and Word...

Try remapping a key you don't use.

It will, however, not give you the full TAB funcionality. If you're used to using the TAB key for jumping from one field to another this doesn't work.

If you are using the english keyboard layout, you can edit the file eT9.Rhodium.wwe.kmap.txt in the windows directory to map one of the keys to TAB.
I have attached a copy that maps "fn + T" to "Tab" if that's all you are looking for. Just copy it to a folder in your TP2 and use resco/total commander to copy it to your windows directory.
P.S: If you are going to edit it further, remember to save it as unicode or else your keyboard will not function correctly. To revert back to the original keyboard settings, just delete the file from the windows directory and it'll revert back to the original file that came with the ROM.

The up/down arrow keys send you from one field to the next

I use PQzII (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/PQzII.htm) to map "Ctrl + Q" to "Tab", I also installed HookMgr from (http://www.mobiion.com/)

Go to HKLM\Software\Tegic\eT9\Ime\KeyboardLayouFiles and look at what file is registry key "07FF" is pointing to. That's the file that is currently being used to define the mapping rules. Copy it out to your pc and amend it using notepad and save it as a unicode txt file.
There are instructions in the txt file itself - you can amend the mapping of other keys if you desire.

Hi rotastrain
I am using Duttys Latest Leo R2 ROM and I am unable to find the file specified.
I did use Total commander and specified to search for hidden ,system files
still no luck..
In this ROM the right softkey is assigned for Menu funtions and need not be reassigned.
But the left softkey can be reassigned to either Camera or Comm Manager ..

Oh i thought u were saying manila 2.1
i need the file 7c60907d_manila if ur using new manila!(2.5)

Sorry for the confusion .. my mistake
Since the title said 2.5 Manila I assumed this thread was for only the new manila..
here is my 7c60907d_manila

Left SW key I think is stored in "07c67730_manila"
Unfortunately I can not modify this file with "m9editor3.3.0.1"
Showing an error during compilation
Even though the file only compiles and de compile then again (no change in the file), the error is there, too
Any idea how to change the file

My current work around is to leave the soft key and to remap the hard key

It is quite annoying not to be able to change the soft keys...as someone said here, the default ones are quite redundant...and, wtf, no one from HTC though it is useless?
Why do I need a phone softkey since it is easier to press the phone hard key?
The only worthy softkey is the menu one, at least for manila 2.5...cause through this key it is possible to change the quick link and related today screen stuffs...
