Safe to use HTC_Home.tsk on orbit 2? - Touch Cruise General

I've got an orbit 2 (not changed rom or anything else) and just wondering if it's safe to use the HTC home plugin? Read a few threads and my impression is that if I add the tsk file in the windows folder I can then choose that theme from the today menu, is that correct? Will that automatically add the weather etc?

no it wont.
the file you have will just make all adjustements so it has one common style (same colours, etc in every window)
the other thing you are referring to is the HTC Home plugin - this will bring you the weather, etc.

right, the tsk file is just the theme file.
here you will find what you are looking for :=>

How to edit files in the root folder, trying to chane Font on HTC HOME

When I had my TyTN I, i was able to change the font on the HTC HOME clock to a much smoother cleaner font. This was easily done by replacing the HTC HOME font files with the font that you wanted to use, you would simply just copy and paste/replace the original files in the /HTCHOME or /Windows folder.
Well, I was not able to find an HTCHome folder and my kaiser is giving me the access denied error when I tell it to replace the original HTC HOME Font files. I've deactivated the home plugin before all this of course, so the file would not be in use.
I'm using the 6 Button HTC HOME Plugin but it does the same thing with the other HTC Home Plugins. I'm just assuming that the root folder is set to where I can't edit any files, is there a way to get around this?
I appreciate the help everyone.

Use HTC Home Customizer. It comes with a bunch of different clock fonts and colors.

Something wrong with HTC Home Plugin WEATHER?

For some reason, I can't get the 'Weather' tab to correctly display my cities weather in the HTC Home Plugin.
It used to work no problem, when I had old Sprint ROM.
Now, I have DCD's ROM, but the package with the old radio. It's the self executable .exe at the bottom of the first post.
[http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=10017]
I can get the home plugin to work fine, and it's completely customizable with emunutz customizer.
But for some reason, the weather always goes to the wrong city. I've tried the default, and I've tried the custom cities. I've tried surrounding areas as well.
I thought maybe it was the plugin, so I downloaded a couple other HTC Home Plugins that people made, and the weather worked JUST FINE on those, but I couldn't arrange the tabs at all.
It always seems to be something.
Anyone have any ideas? I've tried both the lite version and regular of Emunutz Customizer, and also 3 different .cabs of the HTC Home Plugin.
Iddk. But it's bugging me. The weather tab is my FAVORITE, and I've never had troubles till now.
Thanks.
Bryun.
you should try to locate theis file : HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml under \windows.
It contains the code of the cities for the weather panel, make sure yours is correct
Anyone knows what's the executable file for weather on the HTC Touch?

if you use nrg weather app and are having trouble with it and the theme
you can try chome configurator here it is http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393104 go in to it and hit ctestuiplugin and hit show exit out
it used to work for me but with the one I have now I have to us a reg edit and go to security/chome/defaultsettings/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0 and go to
software/Microsoft/chome/ctestuiplugin change disabled to 0
here is some cpr. files if the clock slide changes back.just install the cab one is for 3.0 to 3.2 and one is for 2.0 to 2.3 then go to options in the weather app layout options and pick one of the cpr. the weather app over writes the cpr file in windows so win you pick a layout it will kill the clock slide till you put the cpr files I made in it
here is some original wallpaper that came with the htc diamond and I added a bronzeres.dll with black diamond icons
and if you are using my theme I added a clear clock so you can add your own wallpaper the original had a black background all you have to do is add the files to the windows folder on the phone and if you us the black bronzeres.dll just switch to a noun slide theme thin add it

I apoplogize ahead for my ingnorance! I am downloaded the cab you posted, but I am very new to this nd I don't know what I need to do w all the files. I assumed it was a an auto installation cab, so if anyone can help I appreciate it, I really like the theme nd it looks like you did an excellent job.

It sounds like you unzipped the cab file because otherwise you wouldn't see all the files. Redownload the cab and save it to your phone, but do not extract the files from it first. Then use file explorer on your phone to start the cab install by clicking on the cab file.
hey coo theme who created it?
i have this installed and running on a Blackjack 1 with 6.1, everything seems to work right except the clock and the slider panels. The clock is the standard clock not the one on the screenshot of the OP, the slider panels are blue no matter what back ground i use.
Is the default background supposed to be the black diamound one? I bet its not showing up because this is not made for a landscape device. could this be made for a landscape device?
OK look at the second posters avatar.....my screen looks just like that. Isn't it supposed to have the diamound style clock and background? When i switch the the diamound green or diamound fire they both show up fine, just the clock is not diamound and the panels are blue.

sorry i did not make it for landscape and it would not work on it
ok, well thats to bad, it is really a cool home screen. I didn't think there would ever be this kind of screen on a smartphone.
Great work though! I wish i could figure out how to do this kind of stuff!
Well i took a pic of something black and made it my home screen and with the blue sliders it looks pretty good! So i don't have the clock like i wanted but, all the other stuff works and i have a pretty cool looking home screen!
Thanks!

So I installed cab on phone succesfully, but I went to settings, more, regional settings nd I tried to change the time format like you said but it only gave me a few to choose from ( 11:19:42 am or pm) but wouldn't let me enter in 00:00:00 or anything else. Please help & thanks.
edit: FYI it seems to be working just fine w/out adjusting those settings, excatly what does changing the time format do? Thanks again nd I luv the new theme, keep up the good work.
johnnyeoneal: you have it right I just put the 00:00:00 for currant time and if you didn't change your time to that format it would not line up with the diamond like boxes

Manila Mods

As far as I know there aren't a lot lot raph's owner editing their manila to add a calendar, call history or comm manager tab. I bumped into all kinds of wall's when I tried to add an calendar tab. After a lot of searching and trying I can't get manila editor 2.0 to recognize the 26948339_manila file, It just doesn't see it for some reason. Anybody else tried and succeeded? Or to add other tabs? This could be the thread where different kinds of manila mods on raphael could be discussed. I'll posted it here when I have found a solution, cheers
These are some of the tabs, already in the diamond forum, Calendar, comm manager and Call history
Hi!
I currently have the calendar and commanager tabs working on my touch pro.
I took me some working to get them there, but i did it.
Try installing the theme posted on the link below, it has both tabs and is basically the original theme with the greens changed into blue (my creation).
You can apply the theme with Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool v 3.2.
Here you go: http://www.mediafire.com/?oxbz2eayvgu
Cheers and good luck.
Real nice thank you! Did you do this with manila editor? You mean to say open with TF3D config right? Either way can't seem to open it (i did use AC 3.2 and). Must be doing something wrong...
First, you got it right, I meant the Diamond TF3D Config instead of configurator, sorry for the mistake.
What version of the TF3D config are you using? I'm using 0.6.7 and i've just installed this very same theme after having changed to another one previously....
Where/how are you trying to install the theme? Are you going in the "appearence", selecting the directory where you placed the .theme file clicking on "path", selecting the theme it self on the drop down list, then clicking on "apply" and hitting "start"...
Maybe you missed some of these steps?
Anyways, take a further look and search into the diamond themes threads, you may find your way...
Cheers.
I would love a "tasks" tab...

Hey man thanks for replying did all that but it doesn't show, also have the latest version(apptodate), maybe it has thye wrong format. I'm on romeos. Here are some screenshot's. But could you also tell me how you edited these because I cannot get manila editor the read 26948339_manila. Anyway thans a lot , cheers
I'm out of ways to try to edit 26948339_manila (to add a calendar tab to manila), there is just no way this file is seen by manila editor 0.2. I'm using this on vista, maybe someone else has some info...
I have managed to install comm manager via this cab
Use a notepad like application (windows XP Notepad worked for me), not the manilla editor. Don't forget to change the file attributes to "writeable" (not read-only) prior to editing it.
Good luck.

Now my default theme. Thankyou. I was bored with the Vodafone one.
The call history page locks up each time I switch to it. Everything else works perfectly. What am I missing?
I succeeded in getting either a calendar tab or comm manager tab. Will attach the manila files, which are those created by D-MAN666 + 26948339_manila I edited (thanks cassiano)
Ok I succeeded in installing both of the tabs, with the above cab and these manila files (copy them to your windows folder with total commander). Something new has come up though, my home screen calander link became unresponsive (it doesn't link any more)

I had the same issue...and think it was because I loaded the Calendar tab first. Blob8Me has 14 tabs total with no issues, but went in a sequence that allowed it. I don't want to remove my calendar tab to install the call history tab first. Holding my ground with just 12 tabs.

I'm still using the Diamond Forum for most developments as much of the work done there works for the Raphael seemlessly - not all, but most. The next major development I'm waiting for is the ability to apply the Home wall-paper to all Tabs in TF3D but this doesnt quite work yet although I made some small progress with mun_rus's work for the Sprint Diamond - see post #78 in link bellow!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951&page=8
So - changes I've made since my last post here - I've added a sound settings tab - that gives me 14 active and useful tabs now I've added the analog clock to my home Tab - loosing the call history & appointment but I have the call history tab and still get my reminders for appointments. I've also added the VGA battery icon and tweaked the Titles on a couple of pages.
Current Tabs are:
Home - Of Course!
Speed Dial (People Tab)
Messages
Mail (Blackberry Connect & Emoze Free Push email client - www.emoze.com - both in use - very happy)
Jeff's Day (D-Man666's Calendar Tab)
Call History
Weather
Ohoto's & Videos
Music
Internet
Comm Manager (IDS_Communications Tab)
Settings
Programs
Sound Settings (Sound Tab)
A few (but not all) screenshots attached for info -those with the wallpaper as a background (weather, calendar) are as a result of woring on the background changer from mun_rus - please search this and the Diamond forum before asking for cabs, code etc.....
So - Lets see some more activity on the forum from Raphael users...... we do, after all have the best phone available in the world at the moment?

Yes, because the Call History and Calendar had the same number. Moved the Call History to page 11. Still locked when I went into the tab. Just uninstalled. I will install the Call History first after I install the Elite Rom (once released). Not sweating about it right now.
I was looking to reactivate the non responsive calendar link on the home screen but I suddenly got another tab added (the unresponsive link seems to be caused by mun_rus' Backgound Image on All Pages)

To be honest (having done a lot of this) I find that the standard notebook app that comes with windows is fine for basic edits????
.
I installed the Calendar tab on my Touch Pro - everything is working except the month and days are displayed as IDS_CALENDAR_xxxxxxx (xxxx being the name of month/day).
Where is this filed substituted?
Nevermind, I got it - the zip did not include one important file. I got it from elswhere, now it works.

[Q] How to run "Home" or "HTC Notifier"

hi everyone, I would like to associate "Home" and "HTC Notifier" to a hardware button, but I don't find respective .exe , it seems to be started with shell32 or whatever but I can't find any informations. Thanks for any advices.
Here some executables to standard defaults
Here some executables WM5/WM6 to standard defaults;
Start Menu
Message Notifier
View Program Files; folderview.exe Unzip and put this file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
View Settings; htcSettings.exe Unzip and put the file in you programs folder and you will be able to add it to htc home
I'll get back to you @ a later time (with more executables). First I need to dig into my database; I'm missing a few realy handy utils! BBL,
Thanks Senax for your advices, but I mean "Home" such as "Show Desktop" ... and notifier for "HTC Notifier" in top bar which is too bad to launch from top bar ...
Show DeskTop - Today Screen
Show Desktop cq Today Screen;
via PHM Tools .. zipped and I do not know if its complete/original
Though Desktop.exe does its job Plus all other utilities
Have a nice day,
