its like every single other htc home. just a newer build of it.
I changed the xml file to add my local weather back, but it doesn't appear to work. Did someone have to hack the install that supports adding non-listed cities or did I screw something up?

probable something u did. might be wrong though. i use one of the cities from list
hmm, no luck. Previous threads for setting local weather mention hacks to point at alternate servers.
I guess I could be corrupting the xml file somehow. I have noticed that when I visit the configuration section for weather, my city choices are gone after I've edited the file.
I need to find a decent .txt editor for my 8525 or go edit this on my pc. I've been using Word and saving as plain text, but I'm not sure I trust it.

Is there any screen shots of this???

If an older version is installed first and then install the new ones it will work then.

I seem to recall to have it cooked in - there needs to be some hacking of the .dll - it can be installed from a .cab no problem but without the .dll modified it wont run properly when cooked. Unfortunately I don't know what the hack is, I just recall having the same problem on an older version until somebody posted a version that was hacked so it was cookable :S

If you want to use HTC Home Customizer then you will need to install v2.1.1005.722, because HHC will not run with v2.0.1025.721 installed. Atleast it didn't work for me.

I made a little package with following features, you can use all of it on your WM6 Original ROM without Problems...
1. Black Theme with Toms Background
2. Kaisers HTC Home Plugin (this one is in english)
3. PHM Try (is not needed cause you have your own) If you want to play with this tool, look for wizard in this Forum and PHMtray
4. New Style CommManager ( Ithink it switches it self to english)
All those Tools were found in this Forum and here http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showpost.php?p=907183&postcount=2
Downloadlink: http://rapidshare.com/files/44770082/get_a_little_look_like_Toms_3.7.rar
Little information:
If you want your phone run faster, than dont install the Comm Manager. I think also the comm Manager has got some bugs. ( I couldn´t start Wlan on mine)

Yes, i experienced the same!
WLAN IS NOT STARTABLE
and the new Manager is VERY SLOW!
The WLAN button is configurable, you just need to search through the registry for the entry for your WLAN adaptor and change the action of the button to that. BAsically it has the wrong code (the one from a wizard\hermes if I'm not mistaken) so the link is invalid hence doesn't work. Its only a 5 digit code or similar from memory. It shouldn't be slower tho, I'd be tempted to find another installer as I've as yet to come across a slow Comm Manager. HTC Home plugin yes, but not the comm manager.
With regards to PHM Tray, yes windows does have its own try by default but it is no where as easy to configure. This app is very useful for a lot of people.
Any chance of the WMP skin for this too? Thanks!

Finally HTC have released the first WM6 upgrade for the excalibur! You need to log into the e-club to download it. The FTP server is overloaded just now though.
I tried to install it on my Dash but it does not work. Invalid model? I installed the Russian WM6 ROM earlier and had do problems. What is the problem here?
Help Please!
Im still at 50% download but if I were you I would try installing it again once the phone has gone into bootloader. Basically just run it twice.
here's a faster link:
http://files-upload.com/files/472108/HTC_S620_WWE_1.27.405.1_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe
Thanks for your advice but it does not help. The loading starts and then it stops and tells that my phone is not the right device ie. invalid model error 244.
Is this ROM for original HTC phones only? If yes, is there a way around it?
Help please!
Thanks

Gary
just use a download manager...
RE:
Gary,
I took a network trace and see that files-upload.com is resetting the connection. This usually occurs when there's a configuration issue on the server or there's too many downloads occurring. I'm sure it's the massive amount of downloads occurring.
If somebody gets a successful download from either HTC or files-upload.com, could you please upload it to rapidshare.
Thanks,
Robb

jsp you are correct, just flash the SPL first and next just run the download. This looks like the Russian ROM, WWE version. Where is Excel mobile and word mobile and MS voice command? This is the same mean Joe Green look the Russian ROM has. Yahoo Go 2.0 comes with this ROM. Check out the file folder called Expert,Task Manager is located there. Yeah, its working like a charm on my Dash...........!

NICE!!!! Thanks!
anyone noticed the RUS ROM has much better screen saturation? This one looks pale.. it's not a big deal, but just like it the RUS' way..
installs on vista with no problems!
This still requires a CID Unlock correct?
Are you referring to the homescreen and/or color scheme, or all the screens in general?
jsp_m said:

Click to collapse
Ok so the first thing you need to customise is the home screen. I much prefer the recent app lists at the top so it is the first selected. Copy\Application Data\Home\HTC.home.xml off the device, use properties to make it not read only, open in notepad, and move the MRU list plugin entry above the Date/Time/Carrier Plugin. Then copy the file back after either deleting the original or making it not read only. Then choose a different homescreen then go back to the HTC one to see the change.
I've also attached the edited htc homescreen.
no, not the background files, but the screen in general.. it used to happen on Tornado that different RUUs make different saturations in the screen
This WM6 really looks much more pale than the Test RUS one, but I can live with it if I have to.. (is there any app to tune that?).. RUS was much more vivid
i have unlocked my phone. I got the code from tmobile when I try to install the rom it tells me invalid model? Any one else get this?

anyway, thanks for trying to help
It's a registry setting, if you check out Vp3G's 3.0 made with the AT&T WM6 he actually has the Animated HTC in a CAB file that you can download, it's located in the ADD-ONS file... all you have to do is run that cab and voila!

Same here. This cab is not making this logo to work. All regs are ok. But it's not working. I even tried make this HTC.gif as a splash and i've put is via RUU, but still no results...
You can't just install my cabs on any old ROM and expect it to work. There are some ROM-specific animation components needed.
My cabs should work on any AT&T-branded WM6 or derivatives thereof, however I make no guarantees. They'll definitely work on vp3G v3.0 or v3.60.
This one has been bugging me too. There's some specific differences between the AT&T 3.57 and the T-Mo 3.60 that the cab's (and my packages) don't resolve.
I'm hoping to find the specific dependency, and I'll post once it's found. I'm sure it's something simple - just elusive What better way to spend a rainy Thursday?
Edit: I got it working, but only by copying the entire OEMDrivers folder from 5.5 (3.57). I'm narrowing down which files specifically now...
Got it down to 40 files from the decompiled dll list... ugh...
Are you trying to enable it on the dpod ROM? The Dopod and T-Mo/At&T has a different structure. Unil today I can only put it to run on T-Mo and AT&T only.

Just a T-Mo 3.60. It works now, but I had to use a bunch of the dll's from the OEM drivers (the decompiled ones).

Yes it's better for you to take all the .dlls in OEMDrivers and replace them in your own as necessary. It's for integrity also.

My opinion is, " When there're many .dlls files affected then it's better to be cooked in."
Since Mattk_r is going to enable it on Pandora, then you can have it very soon or you can just take Schaps or my ROM. It's already been enabled since my first ROM.

Hi all,
I've installed HTC Customizer 0.8b (from this topic -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319308)on my Artemis. I'm running the official Dutch WM6-rom from HTC. After installation, the customizer downloaded and installed the home plugin by itself. So far no problems occurred.
I have a problem however with setting up the home-plugin (not the customizer). I can't put any programs in the launcher-tab, I can't put contacts in the favorite contact-tab, and the weather-tab is completely empty...
I've asked in the forum of pocketemu.com, the creator of the customizer, but i didn't get a response.
Has anybody had this problem before? Does anyone have a qlue about how to go about this?
Did you have the HTC Home on your ROM before you installed the Home Customizer? If not, that's your problem.

YOU MUST HAVE THE HTC HOME PLUGIN INSTALLED TO USE THIS PROGRAM."

I have the same problem. The clock is working fine, the rest doesnt.
Specs:
- Official NL T-Mobile WM6 Rom
- HTC Home plugin installed
- HTC Home Customizer v1.0b5 installed
I have tried to get it to work after a hard reset, no other appz installed. No success. Also tried to get it to work with the previous versions of the HTC home plugin (every time on a clean phone), including the previous version of the home customizer (& -lite).
Can someone help us?
Thanks in advance.
The problem can be different mui file.
HTCHome and HHCustomizer generally use 409 mui (stay for WWE language), and they can't work on dutch rom.
Try to rename it (only number with your country number)

Thanks guys, I'll give it a try when I get home.
Worked partially
Hey all,
- Disabled the today plugin, soft reset
- Renamed the HTC Home MUI files from 0409 to 0413 (=> my country number => the Netherlands) with Total Commander (cecmd)
- Give a soft reset, enabled Home plugin
- Home plugin was able to download weather through GPRS
- other tabs are working also
-No luck downloading new weatherspecs by WiFi.
(I have a good WiFi connection, the HHC v1.0b5 connects perfectly to the internet)
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this last issue?
Thanks for the support till this far
Problem solved
When I got home and connect to my own WiFi, there was no problem anymore getting the last weatherinfo. Problem is solved now
Happy for you.

Gave you the answer on Tweakers.net a few days ago (20 febr.)
Here's a new ROM for the Excalibur cooked on the new 20282 core and the system partition from the newest HTC smartphone, the S740 "Rose".
This is a WWE (world wide English) only ROM.
Applications included in this ROM are:
- HTC Album
- Tegic T9 with English available
- TMobile Dash keyboard layout file by default
- Adobe Reader LE
- HTC Audio Manager
- Automatic GPRS settings application
- Windows Live
- Windows Live Messenger
- HTC Streaming Media
- Office Mobile
- HTC Weather
- The new HTC dialer application
- HTC CommManager
- This ROM is "UC" (user customization) capable!
- Chome Configurator
- So much more...
This ROM includes the new sliding panels from HTC, which open up a world of opportunities for customization.
INSTRUCTIONS for flashing:
1. Run the downloaded exe. It should automatically unpack and present a black command prompt window.
2. Make sure you remove your storage card from the phone before the next steps.
3 .Follow the instructions in the black window. Do NOT reboot when the SDA unlocker tells you to reboot the phone. It's not necessary.
4. You might get a prompt asking you if you want to run the spl program. Just say yes. At that point you should get a white screen.
5. If for any reason you're not seeing a white screen, you did something wrong and you need to try again.
6. Flash the ROM following the instructions in the flashing utility.
You can expect the phone to be "stuck" on the HTC logo for about 2 1/2 minutes the first time. After that, it should only take about 40-45 seconds for the phone to reboot.
INSTRUCTIONS for recovery in case something goes wrong:
Turn your phone completely off. Pushing the camera button in, plug in your usb cable. The tricolor, bootloader screen will come up and you can flash your regular OEM ROM which can be downloaded from one of the stickies.
I recommend flashing the modified bootloader made by jockeyw2001. It's attached to this post.
What it does is, it CID unlocks your phone, so you don't have to use the softSPL everytime you want to flash a ROM. It also makes recovery from a bad flash much easier, where you dont have to hunt for your original manufacturer's ROM to load in order to resurect the phone.[/CENTER]

Hmm interesting. I installed that cab over 1.4 and the tab key DID behave like it's supposed to. I will make sure to integrate this fix in the next release (including the lite release).
I went to find the t9 file mainly because there was no predictive text showing up for me after I flashed this ROM twice. No matter the cause, this seemed to fix it up. One other thing though, the ROM doesn't seem to make any changes when I add the cpr entry to make it show the day of the week, is there something I'm doing wrong?
Last 'problem' is whenever I choose Chome slim, I never have gotten a slim programs list like I see in your screens. Does my phone hate me?
Thanks for your work by the way

Hmmm I never use predictive text, so I guess I never noticed that anomaly. The cab should fix it though...
These new ROMs have a different system for editing CPR files. The CPR file is actually declared in the home.xml file found in application data/home. You have to edit one of those files, declare a custom cpr file and then go drop that file in the \windows directory. OR, you could just edit the HTC cpr file that are already in the windows directory.
Again, with the slim panels, you have to make sure the OS knows about them. THe easiest way is to rename the slim CPRs to the HTC cprs and just overwrite the htc cprs in \windows.
is there any way to set the directory in HTC Audio Manager?
Superlite?! Inquiring minds want to know.
