*8/20/2007* HTC Home Customizer v0.8b (Live Downloads!) - Page 10

EDIT: Applies to version 0.6a and below

OK, it seems that we are getting more and more people having issues and I think I know why. You MUST be running WM6 AND use the CAB from the package in order for all of the options to work "out of the box." As stated previously, there are several different versions of this plugin out there, and that makes it difficult to figure out if it's a problem with my app or with the device/plugin you are using.

For WM5 users, there are a couple options if you don't want to wait for the next version. Please refer to the prior posts by bmtbandit and naigaboy. They explain why it doesn't work and what you need to do to make it work.

To help me (or anyone that may have the knowledge to help) troubleshoot/debug, please include the device you are using, Windows Mobile version you are running and which HTC Home Plugin you are trying to use it with.

BTW, I would really appreciate feedback on the current feature set and options. If you have a suggestion to improve it, do not hesitate to post it.

Personally I love what you've done with it. I've gotten pictures just to set picture contacts, and I'm using the media screen while I'm sitting here at work. The weather on the homepage is awesome, although I'm saddened it doesn't have radar, but that I can do without for the functionality of what you've helped to provide us with. I cannot get the colors to work, I'm on a Mogul running WM6, but I'm hoping to work that out myself, it's probably user error, haha. But really, thanks a bunch for working so much on this! I've got v5 and I'm awaiting v6, although I don't see too much else to add! User customization goes as deep as I need it to without it getting confusing.

im not sure if that is in response to my post, but i have NOTHING else installed. your prog was the first one i attempted. i have since, sucessfully, installed a MMS picture messenger, but thats it. is there something else that is required to make your prog work? again, pardon my noobness. (edit - mogul is running WM6)

How do I customize the ring profile?

wlriv, after you get into the program, did you run the "Install Plugin" option? That's the only reason I can think of why it's not working for you.

I have had a problem with the weather tab. Everytime I go to the weather tab, it has to download the data. Shouldnt this update itself in the background, that way I dont have to wait 10 seconds for the weather to display?

I installed version 6, and now I am only showing 5 tabs. I checked the tab order, and it shows 6 tabs. Why am I not getting 6 tabs on the home screen? I am running one of the themes that came with the pack. Scheps or something like that.

You need to set it to 6 tabs. I found that bug today actually, where the tab wizard will display 6 no matter how many you have enabled. The tab wizard does work otherwise. I will fix this in my next minor update, possibly tonight, maybe tomorrow.

EDIT: v0.6a patch is up, fixes tab number issue.

About the weather, I haven't found a way to alter the way it downloads the information. I'll look into it though.

assign a picture to your contact in the contact manager that comes on the phone. then when you add the contact to the tab the picture shows.
