If I can't, I'll have to disable the Tab Order option for now until he releases a patched version of the A La Carte plugin, as the weather options are more helpful to people than setting the tab order.

EDIT: The 5-tab version he released works with the Tabsetting. v0.5a is up with the correct cab.

The htchome.dll in the new version is hard coded for a different weather URL than the previous htchome.dll. The A La Cart htchome.dll was hard coded to allow the tab order changes. Therefore, the dll will need to be patched to allow both features. I tried doing it myself as I found where the tab order entry was located (I think), but the dll did not work afterwards.

I like the new color for the icons, the color-dkaye. also, I like the added transparent icons. Good work. Changing the order of the icons isn't a big deal to me. their fine the way they are now.

Good work on this, but it seems to be not working on mine, i think i'll go back to the way I had it....But great Job

With ver .5 installed, how often is the local weather supposed to update?
I have it set to auto update but it never does. I have to manually update all the time.

Could you detail the problem(s) you encountered?


stroths & 1999TL: I have been testing for the past hour or so and the 5-Tab cab from N2A's post on XDA that I included v0.5a does work with both the weather and tabsetting (and the 6th tab).

I put your file on my SD card and unziped it then I ran your homecust i picked custom for all i followed your instructions, i restarted my Mogul and I get a blank HTC Home, I tried reseting it again and now there's no HTC Home....I will do it one more time but it seem not to work on mine.

Also I uninstalled all of the pluggins too (HTC Home)

All of the "Custom" folders are empty by default. They are there for you to drop your own images into if you don't like the ones I have included. The current images are NOT removed, so even if the folder is empty, the worst that happens is you have no changes.

As far as the blank HTC home screen, the only reason that would happen is if the "Tab Order" option was set incorrectly (happened to me while testing). The format should be (with commas):

1,2,3,4,5,6

In any order or combination you wish. ( ex. 1,3,2,5 or 6,5,4,3,2,1 )


I did find a couple problems with the weather functions, so I'll be doing an update shortly. I'll also populate the Tabsetting reg key, since the cab doesn't and you'll need an existing one to edit that setting and without looking at the readme.

yeah the new version allows for tab ordering and the weather works as well for me.

Thanks Emunutz, I will give that a try

The commas in the tab order are the problem. I put my tab order down as "143256". I was getting the same blank Home plugin as dawilliams660. Once I read emunutz's post with the commas, I put them in "1,4,3,2,5,6" and the Home plugin popped up without any problems.

This is a great customizer, but it would be awesome if you could parse the tab order text for commas, or simply change the text instructions at the top of the Tab Order menu to show the correct format, including commas!

Anyway, seems to be working now. Thanks for the easy setup, emunutz!
