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

[Smartphoner]

Please help ! I have installed the plugin on my German HTC Touch and it shows only 4 Tabs. When I add new porgrams to the luncher the Touch performs an error and softreset.

Here is something else to add. I found confirmed this over at xda and checked for myself.

You can change the Date layout on the Home plugin by changing this reg:

HKLM\nls\Overrides
SSDte=mm\dd\yyyy

For instance, I changed it to dddd MMM dd, yyyy and my screen now shows Saturday Aug 04, 2007.


However, this will cause problems if you do the hack like me that places the time and date always on top on the top bar. As you can see, this is not acceptable. I think I can fix this and should have something solid this evening.

Too bad I didn't see this before I finalized v0.7
Next release for sure!

Just wanted to say thanks! Very useful!

One thing to test about that date change is how it affects other apps. One thing to test is the affect on pOutlook and messges. I cannot really test since I do not have service on my Apache anymore. If someone could report on how using a longer date changes stuff on their phone, that would be helpful

I cannot find a .cab file for the Customizer. Maybe there isn't one? Anyway, I found the .exe file that it says to run, but it won't let me unzip it. I can't run it using Total Commander. I'm trying to follow the instructions, but I just can't seem to get this right. Any ideas??

EDIT: Nevermind, I figured it out. Sorry about that, I'm just hella stupid...

Help!! How did you figure it out. I'm in the same delimma. TC wont unzip the file. I unistalled the older version. Thanks

You can unzip it on your computer and copy the folder to your 6800 via activesync or directly to your microSD if you are using a card reader with it.

I decided to work on the downloading of appearance packages through the program, and what do you know, I got it working. Currently, I have it set up as another option in the program's menu. I need some volunteers for beta testing the new feature and I'll need somewhere to host these files after testing is over. If anyone is interested in testing or can offer the hosting (here or otherwise), PM me.

You can add custom icons. You will need to convert or find a set converted for the Home plugin, then you can drop the folder into <HHC path>\FILES\icons. They will appear in the Appearance->Icons menu.

If you're going to covert them yourself, the images you will be replacing are all the HH_FW_icon*.png files. Open one those files and use it as a template for your new images.
