Music Tab on HTC Home - P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development

Hi
I am running the Touch Rom on my Orbit, i really like HTC Home but was wondering if there was a way to change it so that when you select open Music Player on HTC Home, it opens Windows Media Player instead of the Audio Manager? you can already do this on the Touch cube but can not find a way to do this for HTC Home.
Is there an application or a regestary Edit that can do this?

HTC Home Plugin Customizer v0.8b

Hi,
I don't have home customizer installed now. But as I remember you have to go to the HTC Options menu from the main menu, and you will see a menu called "Change default music player" or something similiar.
Cheers,

I have the HTC Home Plugin and SPB Mobile Shell installed. I want to do an specific order for those plugins but when I go to today settings and select it the move up/down buttons do not work.
Is there a way to change it by hand editing any register?

New HTC Home options?

OK, excuse me if somethng has been covered before.
After installing the new version of the HTC Home plug from the kaiser I was looking at the image files installed and noticed that in addition to the tabs we've got there are images for what looks to be a music tab (attached)
Is there a way to configure what tabs you've got showing?
I presume the music tab would show something like the mini audio manager UI that you get in TouchFlo.
Now, I know that you can edit the registry to enable you to move the plugin up and down on the today screen but being able to display the music tab would be cool.

HTC home plugin: any hacks/settings?

Are there any 'settings' for this plugin, thro registry changes? I'd like to:
- Have it revert to home tab after launching an app/speeddial
- Take up less screen estate with no operator name nor date at top
- Most importantly, only update the weather once per day rather than every time I click the weather tab
- Have the alert icons change to colour when there is a missed SMS/etc (I am aware of kaizers colourful version - not the same issue tho)
I am using JUVS's improved version (thanks a stack dude! Made this plugin useful with the new tabs).

Tap weather tab, then city name. 'Select City' screen will show up. Then tap Menu -> Weather options, and there uncheck 'Download weather data automatically'. Job done.
thanks eva_d - didn't realise I'd get a manual-update button
Is it possible to change the color of the font on the top of the plugin, where the name of the operator is?
Is it possible to read the extensive thread devoted to using and configuring the HTC Home plugin?
Is it possible to attach a link to said extensive thread?

How to customize the HTC Home Plugin?

Hi.
My TyTN runs Schap's 3.30c ROM version.
I've also installed Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool Ver 1.1 .
Now, I wish to customize a bit the HTC Home Plugin to display more than 3 tabs. I've read at the schaps rom wiki, that the tool should display a "Home" tab. Yet, It doesn't .
Any ideas anyone
Thanks in advance !
Amit.
The home tab will be in settings/today, next to "appearance" and "items".
You can try HTC Home customizer - it can change the appearance of the plugin, number of tabs and more.

Well.. Its just isn't there !
There are only "appearance" and "items" tabs there... Isn't that strange ?

Well, I've installed that app.
Strange - upon running, it looks as it the application does not recogize the installed Home Plugin (was installed along with the ROM installation). Further more - it reports not finding and current settings, nor it finds the current plugin version.
Changing the parameters using the HTC Home customizer application, does not affect the HTC Home Plugin.
so... ????
any new ideas?

Program Launcher with multiple pages

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Its not Wisbar Advance (Task), but Wisbar Advance Desktop
http://www.lakeridgesoftware.com/products/pocketpc/WisBarAdvanceDesktop/
Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota
See Screen Caps

hi Lucas,
the first image you attached is your today screen? we can set wisbar advanced dekstop as our today screen?
Yes indeed, but as a today screen where you have full control of what to put on it!

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!
