HTC Touch 6-Tabs and Weather Fix!

Name: HTC Touch 6-Tabs and Weather Fix!

Description: Hey guys, came across this while browsing for a weather fix for my Touch. It's very cool it actually gives you 6-tabs as opposed to 5 (including a music and contacts tab) while also giving you more US weather options. This is very helpful, especially to me because the closest included weather city was a state away, now I can get a city away. It also has an xml file that you can edit to put in your own cities.

Installation: First you want to install this cab file by dragging it onto your device and running it... SdkCerts.cab then just install this htchome plugin (it should overwrite your existing plugin if you have it installed) HTC Home Schen 2.1 6-Tab

Inside My Device/HTCHome you will find a bunch of icons and such, you can change these out for your own icons as long as they are the same dimensions. I'm currently working on a fix for the audio manager to open when you press Launch Music Player

*edit* Found solution to the audio manager problem, if you install this cab file, and install it on your device you can press the launch music manager button and it will auto load the audio manager application even if it's not already open.

Thanks for linkin me here bro..BUT I installed the first CAB file, ang then installed the second link as well. The HTC home program is a little different then what I used to have (as you said it will automatically replace my previous one), but I still can't get my audio manager to open up when I click "Launch Player" Can someone please help me out, and if I posted in the wrong area, I'm hella sorry. I can post this question on the HTC audio manager thread I originally posted.

the bottom link shoudl fix the issue no matter what, make sure you are installing to device and not storage card when installing this...

http://www.anonym.to/?http://rapidsh...nager.cab.html

basically this fix just makes it so all the extracted files are put directly into your windows directory because that's where they need to be for this to work.

Hope this helps.

[IslandB01]

Aight, I got it bro. Hella thanks. I redownloaded Audio Manger w/the link you just posted, and it worked. I think the other link I downloaded from wasn't working because I couldn't see the it in my programs, but I can now. Once again, thanks bro!

Can someone help me...Ok...I installed this before w/no problem. But now when I'm tryin to reinstall it ( I had to do a hard reset ) it's saying:

Installation was unsuccessful. The programor setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.

try to do a soft reset before you install it again and see if that fixes the problem.

yeah im pretty sure the fix doesnt work, i have tried to install, reinstall, uninstall, and various other things and still have no luck

please advise any other ways to get it to work, it looks awesome and would like to figure it out, thanks

[VenumX]

if you have HTC Home customizer just go into that, then select the options tab and make sure audio manager radio button is filled and not windows media. This changes a registry file from 1 to 0 in order to change the default player...goodluck.

huh it shouldnt look under the audio manager thread in the help desk for the touch and there is a registry edit you can perform in that thread.

i am having the same issue....can anyone lend a hand to help us fix this?

[D/\SH]

you make sure you do this..... if you have HTC Home customizer just go into that, then select the options tab and make sure audio manager radio button is filled and not windows media. This changes a registry file from 1 to 0 in order to change the default player...goodluck.

click on thre weather so you get to the screen like when you set up the weather on your phone wehn choosing city. in the bottom right of the screen you will see a tab click that and you will see options or something like that. (sorry dont have on my phone right now just flashed a new rom) than change from celcius to Fahrenhite.

When I click on the certs cab thing it asks me about uploading files but how do I get the file off there to put it on my phone? And then where do I put it on my phone? How do I run it? I'm a noobie to this smartphone thing so I'm getting frustrated allready. Why cant we just click on a link and it installs like pc software?

Ok few problems with this fix.

I did everything as instructed

First did the sdkcert then the htchome plugin

and lastly the audio manager fix.

now the problems

since update it changed my default clock to some white clock that I cant change anymore. It added a date thing at the top that I can't seem to remove, and to top it off the weather still doesn't work.

Since I'm retarded I didn't back up before doing this "fix"....
I guess if I were to go to remove programs which ones would I remove to get it back to how I had it so I can try again?

I'm guessing the programs I need to remove are:

HTC Audio Manager
HTC HTC Home

I spose if I had to I could restore back to way earlier today when the phone was basically stock... but if that can be avoided =D

Thanks in advance for help.

EDIT:

Ok I managed to get rid of the date at the top by going to Start->Settings->Today-> Items Tab and unchecked Date

Went into the HTC Customizer set everything back to default saved then went back in again and set it back to how I wanted it, and it worked.

Still unable to get the weather to work.

I'm not scared to say where I live, Omaha, Nebraska can anyone get this to work? I've used the default for omaha, and custom ones still can't seem to get it to work. Omaha is the largest city in NE so this should work no?

EDIT 2:

Ok finally got weather to work by doing another custom one and a soft reset. Thanks for the fix!

For those with question of format this is how I did it

City, State
Omaha, Nebraska

Country
US

then I entered my zip

Venum you got that rep.

[kaos]

do you have the htc customizer installed as well.you can change the clock and zip locations with it.

[polarwind]

Yeah I do, after the install I was trying to use that to change the clock and
do the weather, but nothing was working, the clock wouldn't change and the
weather was the same, so I did another soft reset, set the HHCustomizer
back to default saved and went back in to change the things again and it
finally changed and then I got the weather to work.

[VenumX]

very good to hear you were able to fix it, its nice to see users start to get the hang of things.

[tlpalmer01]

thanks polarwind, u saved my blood pressure from going up.......lol...good advice cause it worked..:)

[Touchsp]

im still having problems with the weather and
HHC wont change my apps an clocks ill try to
figure it out but it wont change!!

[TOUCHED]

I think I might be confusing this with HTC Home customizer and if so what is the difference????

[D/\SH]

if you have ultimate launch on your phone you have to uncheck it and recheck the home plugin. than change the clock and all and than uncheck the home plugin and reactivate the ultimate launch....

[TOUCHED]

Yep Im having problems too seems like theres no reason to have both of these apps I would rather have HHC anyhow

[D/\SH]

“ Originally Posted by TOUCHED ”

no reason to have both you can integrate the home plugin into the UL so you can still use it and its an awesome launcher and way different tan htc. and hhc can still be used as i stated above.

[icm714]

ok dash im having problems with this and UL. i have a few diffrent themes on my phone, and HTC and UL were working fine then out of no where when i got to the HTC of the UL it freezes so i soft reset and same thing then i switch to a different theme and works again know why

well every time you switch a theme on your phone the settings for backgrounds and all in UL can get confused and casue the freeze. i havent experienced it myself i just get a different background but there are some that i have talked to that have dealt with the same..... so iguess just be sure to soft reset the beast everytime you change your theme.

[icm714]

ok ill do that but i dont change my theme unless it freezes but i know why ur saying that so thanks if it messes up again ill let u know so we can trouble shoot it

[D/\SH]

[icm714]
