Yeah, but I've been trying to go without WA2/3 and I like the speed difference and lack of conflicts.
I remember seeing a hack somewhere that allowed the clock to only be visible when the Today Screen wasn't.
Tried searching, but those terms are way to vague.

Also keep in mind, like I said, I am just running the rom from the 1.02 kitchen, havent changed any registry settings, as well as do not use wisbar. I have no issues as far as both clocks displaying at the same time. Guess I got lucky!

As far as updates, colonel is still looking into the dll files... it more than likely will also be included in the new kitchen. I posted over at xda to see if we may be able to have a few more minds look in to adding the other tabs =]

Neat thread. I'll try this later too.

Couple of things:

(1) I'm going to move this to the PPC Software section. No need to horde it in the Apache section (If that is a problem please give me a better place to move it to!)

(2) I hide my upper clock by using Vicott's UI Tweaker. I then change the top/bottom bar to Black (or something else). Then, using Tweaks2k2 (or the corresponding registry hack, to save you money) I turn the Start Menu Font to match the same color as the Bar.

This hides (a) the clock but also (b) the Program name. I don't mind the latter as I can usually tell what program I'm in without reading it's title :P

Bump for Treo Users:

This works too but you NEED to do some Today Plugin re-ordering otherwise it can screw with the device!

Treo How-to For HTC Home Plugin

Thanks to the OP for doing this. Hope the 5 tab version is coming

Hopefully someone hasn't beat me to this, and if so, I feel really smart right about now..

I can confirm this plugin works on WM5. I am using Helmi's 3.5 kitchen 1.02 rom.


I have uploaded HTCHOMEWM5.rar under Apache/Misc Apps
(I can't attach the link, too new lol)

Simple Instructions:

1. Install HTC Home Plug Today Plugin.cab to device, not storage card.

2. Install SDK Test Certs.cab to device.

3. Copy contents of PPC Phone folder to \Windows and replace existing files.

4. Reboot

If you want to use US cities, copy HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml to \Windows directory!

Enjoy, and please let me know if we can expand on this... perhaps add the photo dial tab...



Thanks!

Edit: sorry.. its a rar file. the cabs are inside.

I am having trouble getting this to work I have tried a few various versions of the HTC Home Plugin without luck. I followed all the steps above, including preinstalling the test certs and I wasn't able to get the HTC patch to appear under my today list items for use.

The only step I wasn't able to complete was "copy the PPC phone folder to windows and replace any files." I am not sure what PPC phone folder you're referring to here.

I'd appreciate any help here, as I'd love to get this plugin working and give the HTC home a shot on my Apache. Thanks

I just loaded up the Today plugin and it works great.
The two files need to be copied over to your Windows folder.

The "copy the PPC phone folder contents to the \Windows folder" is a vital part. THat is what makes it work. it has edited dll files that allow the plugin to work in windows mobile 5. If you are doing it on your phone, you need to use total commander to see the hidden files, otherwise do it while connected to your desktop and allow hidden files to be shown.

No luck in my hw6945... I tried everything but didn't work... It appears under today plugins but I only get a blank square in my screen...

[superevilllama]

Alright guys... I think we may have been able to get the 5 and 6 tab version to work.. It is gonna take a bit more work to refine it. Will post when fully funcitonal.

Good deal. If you need any help testing let me know. I'm willing to help out.
