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

Here's a new panel for testing. I added a mortscript to handle the import of your bookmarks from opera 9.5. I don't know if it works with all versions of opera or not. The script reads the opera6.adr file located in \Windows\Opera9 folder to get bookmark list. It launches links by calling on opera at \Windows\OperaL.exe. Test it out, and I can add more features if it works.

Changed:
v.2
- added CondensedPage into cab install
Install:
REQUIRES MORTSCRIPT, if you have titaniumweather installed, then you are already good to go.
1. Install cab file
2. Add it to your plugin list in the registry at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ExtensibilityXML (Add Opera to the list, place it in the order you want it to display. In the pic below Screen011.jpg I placed it between email and appointments in the registry -> CEmail;Opera;CAppointments; )

Thank you It works great!
i like your black wallpaper, could you post it ?
Sure, http://www.swampthing.net
Under Wallpapers 480x800 page 1
Does the launcher item has to be in the titanium menu all the time? Or can it be removed after the install?
If its used for the options etc., maybe it is possible to make a link to it out of the programs folder.
You can change the order of the menu items or remove it altogether, instructions in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3504536&postcount=133
And yes you can run the options from /Program Files/TitaniumWeather/
Very nice work bro....many many thanks from the Greece
btw, is there a way to change the font of the text in titanium?
Sure, just edit the titanium_480x800.cpr and titanium_800x480.cpr files, open with notepad.
and then, should i replace in every line the name "tahoma" with the name of the font i want and thats in the windows folder? and do you know were can i find more fonts to put in the windowss folder?
Yep, just look on your pc, in the /Windows/Fonts/ folder, should work
Also to change/add/remove links in the menu you can use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104
It is made for smartphones, but seems to work for the clinks.

I can't seem to get the setup to launch from the panel. No matter where I click there is nothing there.....anyone else having this issue? I've soft reset twice now.
You get 2 new panels right? 1 above the clock, and one below calender called launcher.
Click on launcher, and the text changes to press to update weather panel. Also your right soft key changes to setup when you clicked on the launcher panel, click that. That's the settings.
Sorry I know I'm missing something here...
How do I disable Titanium? I went to homescreen settings and took the tic out of Windows Default.
then when copying the files into windows directory got "you do not have permission"
sorry
Nice work!
One problem on my HD
I am in china,and I am using Miri's Windows Mobile 6.5 21193, If my HD region is set as orginal English,the weather addon works great!,but if I change the region to china ,when update the weather,there will be a error report(see attachment)
How can I to solve the problem？

Changelog:
14.04.2009:
- added a Hint-List about the Titanium-Plugin which will be updated if necessary.
- the titanium plugin changed from 3.a to 3.b (Temperature units Option Fix, minor cosmetic change).
- choose between standard & manila-style (link below)
- in the meanwhile the 320x320cpr-file is finalized to fit better in 96dpi
- added Needfull-Things4w6.5
15.04.2009:
- added Germanization (for the german community)
- updated Needfull-Things4w6.5 (WEB-links)
- added 2be?olved
update (!!!new!!!):
The weather-bug is solved!!! Now every i780-user could use weather information in the "windows-default"/"Titanium" plugin in. Remember, it only works with wm6.5. The problem was the resolution in the used cpr-file. i modified the Titanium_320x320.cpr and now the weather plugin runs!
Just follow the steps, and you will have a really nice weather plugin in the standard wm6.5 today panel:
1. flash a wm6.5 rom on your i780
2. be sure to be able to use wifi or grps, because the weather plugin needs data from the net
3. Disable Titanium (windows default plugin) in Settings -> Today -> Items
3. Install Showaco's Titanium Weather - QVGA Version - by mnemonique v3.a (link below)
4. overwrite the existing Titanium_320x320.cpr (\windows) with my modified file (link below)
5. soft reset the device.
6. enable the Titanium
7. Scroll up to titanium weather v3 in Today's Panel and on the panel to start Setup or
8. Select/Click Setup in right soft key.
9. Highlight 3) Configure Forecast Options/Setup, Click OK
10. Configure Zip or Location Code | Temperature Units
info: find your location code in the txt-file below, f.e.:
City Name = "Bremen, DE" Location = "EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN" Country = "Germany"
then the location code to be entered is: EUR|DE|GM005|BREMEN
11. after you've configure the settings, Select Cancel in right soft key to display Main Menu
12. Highlight 2) Run Full Update and exit
have fun, regards dennito
2be?olved:
Here i´ll place community questions about the Titanium-Plugin (especially i780 related), which you post me and couldn´t be answered yet - may be you know the solution? I´ll post the solution and the publisher name after you post me the answer via PM.
1. everytime i got a voicemail-notification (via sms from my mailbox), the voicemail-panel doesn´t show anything, still "no new voicemails", what to do? (asked by dennito)
Hint-list:
1. Wrong picture-Path:
there is no registry part editable but a very simple way to make your pictures on the storage card visible in the today panel.
solution: just rename your existing folder on the storagecard where the fotos are in f.e.: from "my pictures" to "pictures" - or create a new folder "pictures" on the storage card and put your picture files in there. that´s all - now all your photos will be shown in the today panel - have fun!
Needfull-Things4W6.5:
I think it´s time to expand this thread, i offer a small bundle (see zip file below) of needfull things to make the daily usage with the wm6.5 rom´s a little bit more easy/comfortable. The offered programs i am using day4day are:
1. autolock: this tool locks the todayscreen automatically if you press the power-button once
2. a jpg-file in 320x320 realllllly nice for the daily background (thx mascian)
3. comm manager: the ported htc-comm manager to expand the (bad) build in connection manager
4. honeycomb startmenue: the selection style in the start menue will look a bit smarter (thx mascian)
5. ibattery: a really nice battery indicator
6. soft-reset: just a small tool to make a reset without anything more
7. SRS-WOWHD: amazing tool (wm6.5 modified), which will really upgrade your sound-quality! important to know:first install the cab, second you have to install the driver with f.e. resco file explorer, the standard file explorer from windows won´t allow the registry installation - after install, reset, then modify it as you like it in start->settings->system!
8. resco file explorer (trial): very good (touchable) file explorer
9. FingerSuite: very usefull app which replaces standard menu and messagebox for our windows mobile devices - top! link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=459125
10. Titanium Customizer: simple but usefull app to arrange the panels in the wm6.5-today-plug; link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497232

As reported by pocketnow.com, you can always count on xda developers.
Note that this only allow you to add remove item, not customized the picture album folder and weather etc.
Continuing our reports of the "Windows Mobile 6.5 isn't even out yet but..." XDA Developers wrote an application called Titanizer, based on early leaks, that will allow users to customize the Home Screen of the upcoming Operating System, called Titanium.
Titanizer requires Flash 7 installed and once executed (needs no installation) can be used to disable or move around tabs in the Titanium interface the same way it was possible to customize TouchFLO 3D tabs.
1. post updated
would be nice to get some feedback, how it´ll work for everyone
Dear dennito,
for me the weather update works after following your description. I'm using krizky82's WM 6.5 ROM. Just installed the weather plugin, so will report back later if I can see any bug.
Thanks for your fix on titanium weather,
Best regards,

I am also runing krizky82's ROM but I couldn't overwrite the file in the windows directory. What is wrong??
This is 96dpi right? Is it possible to have a 128dpi WM6.5 ROM for i780?
Try this (as attached), it looks much better on 96dpi, just replace this file in "\Windows" directory

the windows build in explorer won´t overwrite system datas, you need sbp explorer or wincommander to overwrite the file.

Hello all.
I'm building a barebones 6.5 ROM using ervius visual kitchen. I have been building many tests as I go along but there are several things I can't sort out due to the lack of instructions on where things are. Can you help? I really want to get this sorted & released asap!
1. I need to apply the following entries so I created a new folder in /EXT and dumped these keys into it:
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu\PopFnt]
"Ht"=dword:00000381
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Messaging"]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Owner Info"]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\"Messaging"]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Date"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Today]
"Enabled"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Rotation]
"HideOrientationUI"=dword:00000000
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GWE\Menu]
"CUIHandler"=dword:00000000
But when the ROM is loaded only the first key has been applied. Is this a sound way to include regkeys or am I doing it wrong?
2. I need the default theme to be the HTC black. It's installed, but how do I set it as default?
3. I need to remove start menu entries (help, activesync, games, search, calculator) which I did by commenting out the entries in \OEM\Diamond\0409\OEM_Lang_0409\initflashfiles.dat but activesync & calculator still show
4. despite having Microphone AGC & Clear Storage NOT installed the icons still show up in System. How do I rid of them?
5. when I click on Camera on startmenu it complains the file "camera.exe" doesn't exist. I have installed the HTC camera package in 001_Base
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!
for regedits i noticed the same thing try bundleing them into a cab or program
Eg. go to your TF3D folder and add those reg entries into the bottom of the TF3d registry list
or you can add a cab to your "config_operator.txt" list
[APP]"FlashBack 0.7" |Backup & autorestore for hardcore Flashers/Cooks | 10-28-09

UPDATE: 11-1-09
-Added dotFred's Taskmanager EXT package which is REQUIRED package. Sorry I thought that it was included in my FlashBack package. This will fix issue with no reg keys being made.
-Updating cab with dotFred's taskmanager as well.

I have been working on this little mortscript for a while now, constantly updating as I find more things to add. It has been one of my most valuable and timesaving tools which I cook into all of my ROMs. It allows a user to backup many items which you would have to input and change manually upon first boot. This saves me a LOT of time as I flash a new ROM just about daily. It also has the ability to autorestore all items if cooked into the ROM. I am not a programmer, so if anyone is interested in turning this into an actual program rather than mortscript please let me know Also, I am no mortscript wizard, so if anyone would like to have at the original to make it better go for it This software will create a folder in root of Storage Card named "Phone Backup", so it may not work if you do not have a Storage Card (does not support localization currently). Also, take note that although I use this quite frequently I do not guarantee it to work fully for you. I will try to work with you to find solutions when possible.
Without the help of Noonski, and many others this script could not exist. So thank you very much
You might be thinking "What do I need this for if I can use SASHIMI or UC or any of the other available autoconfig programs?". This app is not meant to be a replacement for any of these programs, rather it will work hand-in-hand with most of these to backup and restore items easily that you might not think about. It will also autoload manila in 6.5 ROMs and load your prefered wallpaper, weather, program tab preferences, and much more.
Original thread can be found HERE. I have started this new thread in attempt to reorganize and provide easy access to more information. Note to mods: please close previous thread.

UPDATE: 10-22-09 FlashBack 0.6
-Added program tab backup and autorestore
-Added MySpace profile(Microsoft MySpace)
-Added some more Game and Software items
-Added Zensor autorestore and autoload(autoload still needs some work)
UPDATE: 8-27-09 FlashBack 0.5
Uploading latest package from my kitchen. I will put together a cab soon, but for now you can use the flashback script from the package and overwrite original
Changelog:
Made some minor modifications as well as some optimization to reduce errors when restoring.
-Added Wifi Locations backup under software
-Added double check for manila autorestore. This way if you have non manila ROM It will not try to load manila.
For this to work correctly you need to add the following lines to your manila app.reg:
Code:
;FlashBack support
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FlashBack]
"ManilaExists"=dword:1
NOTE: Make sure to disable weather restore or delete the database when switching manila builds
Still taking further requests and hoping for some help from the real mort pros
UPDATE: 8-3-09
-Some fixes for missed lines
-Fixed G-Alarm(misspelled something causing no backup)
-added Facebook backup(not fully tested)
-added world clock cities
-Changed backup of manila files to use INI
-If you have cooked an older version into your ROM, be sure to use the newest FlashBack to backup Manila data again. The new AutoRestore script relies on the new INI files.
-Any more software requests?
UPDATE: Huge update.
Added:
-more personal settings(Buttons)
-Tools*
-Manila Wallpaper and Weather(tested .png and .jpg wallpapers)
-Made a package which will restore all saved settings when cooked into ROM.
-Added option to Auto restore. Auto is enabled by default. Look under tools.
-Added support for some builds of Opera
-Added option to Auto load Manila after Flash as oposed to "Windows Default" AKA Titanium. I prefer Manila, so if you enable the option and its cooked in you can have it right after flash.
-Prepared for adding program registrations
Check it out and let me know if it is all working for you. Please note that I will not be held responsible for any loss of data(should that somehow occur, but dont know how it would). Attaching Visual Package and cab. Legacy package will come soon. Edit: Legacy is here, but not sure if it works as I dont use legacy. Please report back for others.
jmckeejr
EDIT: The "RestoreAll" mortscrpt in packages has an extra quotation mark on line 29. Remove the first one before cooking. Should look like this:
Code:
regwritedword("HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
as opposed to this:
Code:
regwritedword([B]"[/B]"HKLM","Software\FlashBack","Finished",1)
This is not a needed step, but it is to double check that Restoreall does not run more than once. There is provision in the script for it to delete the link from startup as well.
Another note: Some features still need some more work to function properly. This is all trial and error as I have to find all the appropriate keys for each item. Some have more than one key which needs backed up. Thanks for trying FlashBack
UPDATE: 7-27-09
After some more work with mortscript(and some help from Noonski, thanks bud) I have put together another backup script which backs up personal info such as :
-Bluetooth Partners
-Wifi Networks
-Owner Info
-Volume
-Rings and Alerts
-Backlight settings
It is still a work in progress, but figured I would put it out there for testing and also feedback on what else to add. Noonski showed me the command lines needed to export and import reg, so now it is just a matter of adding the correct keys. I am learning as I go, so bear with me here. Feel free to test this script and add feedback here. If you are skilled with mortscript feel free to take what I have and make it better. Here is the zip with a cab(which has the script, an exe with icon and dotfred's taskmanager to import the keys). I also included the script and exe to make it easier for others to add or change things. Thanks for trying it By the way I call it Flash Back because I flash so manyt ROMs and I just want my info back in an easy way
Information for cooks (required reading)
Sorry I dont have time right now to add all info, but I will try to add the most important stuff real quick.
-The OEM package will install all files to \Windows folder.
-If you use DotFred taskmanager(known as FDCTaskmanager as well) you will want to have a closer look at this package because the .exe file is already included but renamed to df_taskmgr.exe. You can just edit the app.dat file to add your own shortcut to start menu.
-You can also edit the location of FlashBack shortcut in the app.dat. All updates are taken directly from my kitchen, and I install my shortcut to start menu\programs\Tools\Backup.
-There will be a shortcut created in startup folder during cooking
-Autorestore will only run on BootCount=2(to avoid issues with initial customization) and will do a check of reg to make sure it has not already run. There is also a line to delete the shortcut from startup when complete.
-Basically all you need to do as a cook is to include the package that I have provided. I used to have a double check to ensure that manila was present using additional reg key(you will see above in changelog), but have removed the line from the script so it should not be needed. It will check for existence of manila.exe instead.
Known bugs and issues:
Has Email been incorporated into this, or planned for a future release? I'm addicted to flashing, but I need email access, and it's rather annoying to set up 3 accounts every week. Thanks in advance, this sounds like a very useful program.
Nice job!
great, thank you! that is what i was waiting for!
will test it asap and report my opinion.
It's nice to have this application.
can educate on how to correctly install?
I got the error message below
There is no application associated with "FlashBack". Run the application first, then open this file from within the application

Install to device. What language is the ROM? Currently only works on WWE.
re: Email~ I hope to use an xml writer like Makisu(comes w/ SASHIMI). Will be looking into it when I get some time. Same will be needed for Wifi I think.
Until now, i've been SASHIMI-ING everything including reg keys. this is definately a wonderful addition to SASHIMI.
one problem tho... I just tried to backup some settings and it didn't put anything in the Phone Backup dir (working with a Blackstone on Topix 3.1.1 ROM).

i'm using tess v3.6 topaz wwe...
HAving an error after installing... Says it's unable to create the director "/Storage Card/Phone"
Thats prob because my "Storage Card" is named "Internal Storage"
Is there a way to correct this on my end or is it something you have to change in the script?
UPDATE**
Hope this is ok with the dev, if not - my appologies.
I edited the script myself to make it work with "Internal Storage" as opposed to "Storage Card"
If anyone else has this issue just install from the cab as normal, then copy the Flashback.MSCR file from the attached .zip in this post to your device Windows directory and select yes when prompted to replace the existing file. Should work after that.

Definitely ok. This is as open source as open source can be. There is a lot to be done still, so any help is gladly taken
I will try to get into the details this weekend for cooks and enthusiastic folks who would like to add/change things. Does anyone know of an easy way to add localization? ie if storage card is named as something else, I know some things can use code like %Storage% or something. I would have added something so you could select directories, but the AutoRestore relies on using Storage Card for now. Maybe as I figure mnore out I will do a rewrite and clean it up. There is a lot of repeated entries that I should be able to eliminate with variables. I also still need to add xml restore son nI can get more included.
Well, it created the directory by itself, and it also backed up some files.. like the wallpaper and such, but it didn't post reg keys for some reason. that's the only problem i can see right now.
other than that, wonderful idea, wonderful mechanism. thank you so much

it uses .ini for some manila settings rather than exporting entire reg key (taskmanager wont export value or I cant figure it out)

Well, same problem on my phone it creats folders "phone backup/reg keys" but doesn';t save anything in them and I only tried to backup owner info, rings and alerts and also thumbcal & resco settings. I'm running the latest ver. of MortScript I think it's v. 4.3 b. maybe your scripts were written for the last stable version 4.2.

I have updated first post with Taskmanager package. I had thought it was included in the original package, but after downloading it myself and looking I see its not there. df_taskmgr.exe is a required file and I have added the package to post 1. Have also updated the cab file.
Thanks for the feedback, otherwise I would not have found it.
