The HTC Flashlight app isn't bad. It looks fancy at least, and I see it's included in many ROMs, so it must do something better than TorchButton (my other baby).
Anyway, when you start HTC Flashlight, you get that annoying demo you have to wait for before you can use the app. Well, it's annoying to me at least.
Attached in the .zip is a fixed .exe in which the demo is skipped. The rest works like it does normally (light is turned on immediately at the middle setting). Just replace the original .exe with this one. If it's cooked into the ROM, you may not be able to overwrite it. Just put it somewhere else and make a shortcut then.
Btw, you can recognize if you use the modded .exe if you see FlashLight as title, instead of Flashlight (note the capital L).
Have fun.
Update march 7th
The original app can be downloaded from this thread, first post: [CAB] HTC Flashlight
(so after that, overwrite the exe with this one)
Update march 8th
Updated the attached .zip with a signed version of the executable, which prevents problems to run the fixed exe on stock roms and a number of custom roms.
aho77 made an updated cab wish signed version to install the whole thing, can be downloaded from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=5817414#post5817414
Also attached is the certificate used to sign the executable. You shouldn't have to install this, but I provided it just in case.
Wow... this is PERFECT!!!! Dankje man!!!
Thanks NetRipper, another annoyance gone...
Thanks!
Hey thanks m8 awesome no annoying demo ^^
when trying to run it says:
the file cannot be trusted, either it is not signed with a truseted certificate or one of its components cannot be found

You can ignore that message. Just click 'yes' to continue. (You get that message because the .exe was modified, and that's correct.)
If you want to get rid of that message forever, run this cab:

Not much point in that I think. This is just a hack for an existing app. You replace the .exe with this one. If I were to cab this, I'd have to provide the full app. I think there's like 3 dlls besides the exe normally.
[edit]
Here's you can download the original cab from, I'll add that to first post too: [CAB] HTC Flashlight (after installing that, overwrite with exe in first post)
Strange...I can't get it to run too.
I get the same error message (cannot be opened, not signed with trusted cert, component missing.) Installed the cab you provided, reset, but still the same msg. Running as standalone or copied to windows folder, same result. On official ROM 1.66 WWE.

That message always appears and I am never given the option to run the exe. it always quit. installing the cab to disable the security message didn't make any difference. I wonder if it is because of my stock 1.66 ROM Asia or Resco explorer to unzip the file.
Please help.
Thanks,
Kurni
The mod should be great, but doesn't work for me neither.
I have the same problem as a above... there isn't such a option as a "YES" to continue it closed also i have installed the cab but no luck ... any idea?
Ahhh...fantastic, thanks for this!
Wondered when someone would fix this
Nice,
I will try it now.

I don't know why it's not working for you guys. Two of you reported to be using stock rom's. I've only tested this on energyrom which has htc flashlight cooked in. Maybe that's the problem.
Did the original htc flashlight app work for you guys before you tried using the patched one?
And just a short in the dark, try installing this cab with developer certificates (might need soft reset afterwards):
http://www.netripper.com/raphael/SdkCerts.cab
do I have to install this exe by itself,
or should it go where the original app was installed?
this could be the reason
Well, you overwrite the original exe with this one, or you at least place it in the same dir with a different name.
same issue here using miri 6.5 v5.0 which has flashlight cooked in.

The original one works, but the patched exe doesn't.
On stock 1.66 asia WWE rom...wonder what's the problem.
And the original exe is in the Windows directory, replace or renamed gives the same problem.

If you have downloaded the new version, and still get an untrusted error, you should install the following certificate.
unzip, copy to ppc and double click on certificate (on ppc not pc!!)..
ive installed the weatherfix on my kaiser. everything worked fine but ive lost the other functions like buddys and sounds. so i unistall the patch and got my old home plugin back. trough this process i got another problem:
i cant get any weather-data.
does anybody know how i can fix this problem?
thanks for your help
im really a newbie and searched all the forum. ive read over 200 posts in this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187 because i thought it would be the right forum and used the search function over 7 hours. but i dont get the answer to my question. if somebody just would send me the link it would be great. ive downloaded a lot of stuff to fix this problem in this forum, but my problem is that i dont know whats excacly the answer to the problem and i dont want to crash my tilt. its my first windows mobile device.
I'm going through something similar, if I understand you correctly.
You installed N2A's fix to be able to get weather data on custom locations? When you say that you can't get any weather data do you mean just for the new location you created or is it the same for any other location in the default list?
I also have the same problem. anyone know how to get local weather on the HTC home working?
Me Too
I would like the local weather too.
i got the same problem with my wizard, i just done a hard reset.. x)..
I've managed to get this working perfectly thanks to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=319187&highlight=weather+htc+xml
I'd followed the guide before to install the patched version of HTC Home provided, but as has happened to other people my icons got messed up. It also stopped the backlight changing shortcut in HTC Home from working (I tried a few of the patched versions and none seemed to like the backlight).
In the end I found it much better just to patch the htchome.dll file on the version already installed on my Kaiser, following the guide at the bottom of http://weather.not2advanced.com/files/ linked from the first post in the above mentioned thread. That way I got to keep things exactly how they were and how I like them with the added advantage of working weather info.
I then set the attributes of my patched dll to System and Read Only and removed Archive to match the attributes of my original htchome.dll in my Windows folder. I was able to replace the file using Resco Explorer - it asked if I wanted to overwrite the existing file and then warned me that the file was in the ROM and replacing the file could break my device. I confirmed the overwrite and told it I was sure I wanted to write the patched dll to ROM and it all worked out very nicely.
I'm using Dutty's 2k8 ROM (v3 final) and my htchome.dll file shows version 2.0.814.722. Here's a copy of my patched dll for anyone that wants to use it - I strongly suggest only using it if you're using the same ROM as me and the version number is the same. I've no idea what would happen if you tried to replace a different version and I won't be held responsible for anyone trying it .

Hey guys... just released a new chome weather version that should work with the VOX also. Can somebody give it a shot ?
I can't seem to get it to install,
Installation was unsuccessful. The program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permissions.
I'm using version 3 of Zeeshee ROM.
Cheers,
Same for me! Same rom. Btw, both weather progs delete my clock icon and blackscreen is not possible to load. (mini with dr.gonzo 6.1 rom)
Everything works!
Extract from cab all files for Windows directory and place them into the device.
Delete this files from cab and save cab.
Modify cab working.
Works brilliant .. Thanks a lot keep it up ... i like the background on the pictures what you post there . it will be great if you send it as well . cheers
I'm being stupid here.
I still can't get it to work.
Can someone upload the modified cab please.
Thank you.
Unzip attached file.
Copy files from 'Windows' (archive) to 'Windows' (device).
Copy cab to device and run it.
Reboot.
Enjoy!
Excellent!
Thank you for posting.

Anyone have a screen shot of what it looks like?

weather.yahoo.com gives me NLXX001 as code
Doesn't seem to do anything
(And so is c>f not working)
Are we still using weather.yahoo.com as source?
I had already installed the original MiniWeather on my on my vox (Orange E650) and all was OK except that in portrait mode the weather image didn't show on the clock tab whereas it did in portrait mode. So I decided to install the vox version to see if it would be fixed.
Unfortunately I've found that the files can't be copied over to the device's Windows folder because Resco says they already there as read-only files in ROM and therefore cannot be overwritten. So after installing the 1.0b CAB I get the following error when I initially select options:
Unknown command: "nu=timestamp"
Line 13(\program files\nrg\chomeminiweather\SetOptions.mscr):nu=TimeStamp()
Is there anything that can be done? Would the clock/weather Image have been fixed anyway? If not I'll revert to the previous version
Thanks and nice program !!!
can someoene post a home screen to show how this should look. Its messed up on mine i believe I get 2 panels - the first one works but the image is messed up. The second one says "forecast" but in there it just says "push centre button to update, push right softkey marked options to set your options"
I had trouble copying the two chome files to the windows directory - it said I didnt have permission to copy them.
can anyone assist ?
Frottage........ It sounds like you've had a similar problem to mine above.
If you can't copy the files over the install doesn't work properly.
I've reverted to the non-Vox version and all now seems OK on my Orange E650 with Dr.Gonzo's 5.2.19195 Rom
Try using the Resco Explorer trial to copy them across. It's because the files it's trying to replace are in ROM. Resco worked on my Dr. Gonzo E650.
Hi,

Sounds like a HTCHomeSettings.xml mismatch issue.
If your going to update any 2D theme make sure you use the new themes HTCHomeSettings.xml or adjust the original one accordingly.
Check the developement & Hacking section for more help.
HTCHomeSettings.xml
Hm, but this file HTCHomeSettings.xml is already inside this ROM and I cant delete it. It always shows me "You cant delete it". How can I delete it ROM files ?

You can only over write it, first turn off 2D from the today menu and then copy your new xml file to the windows directory.
im having trouble with that too! everytime i try to edit an xml file, I try to copy it to my windows directory and i always get an error message. and it just copies it and doesn't replace it

Make sure you turn off 2d in /setting/personal/today/
Before trying to change the xml file.
TOUCHFLO2D files
Yes. I have the same problem I cant edit the XML file because ALL TOUCHFLO 2D files are inside ROM that's why nobody can makae any modification. It could be solved if every ROM files will be unlocked for editing and deleting. Please, Can someone UNLOCK ROM files ?

Why would you be deleting any of those files in the first place? Download TotalCommander or Resco, shut down TouchFlo (as Ttran has stated twice now), edit or overwrite old files on phone, turn TouchFlo back on.

Digital clock
My problem is that If I install digital clock for MANILA2D it doesnt run. I have to again recopy the HTCHomeSettings.xml, but after that I again have the anolog clock. Where is problem ? I had original WM6 ROM and Manila 2D installed the digital clock worked fine but I havent any free device storage free. That's the reason why I had to flash the original ROM.
You can try change with M2D customizer v0.11,hope it'll help you.

digital Clocks for this ROM
OK, I had to modify HTCHomeSettings.xml file. It took me 1 hour and now I am lucky.
Copy all files to \Windows.
I flashed my HD2 to the newest official ROM and i discovered that it's not possible to rename and/or delete system files like manila files anymore!
Why is this??
With my old ROM i could rename manila files to *.bak and then delete them using Total commander but with the new ROM this isn't possible! I'm really desperate, I don't know what to do!
Could it be that HTC made the new firmware more secure?
Any solutions???
I found out that I can't copy my welcomehead to the windows folder anymore...it just wouldn't let me...
there has to be a registry entry somewhere, just can't find it at the moment.

Rename your new welcomehead from welcomehead.192 to welcomehead.193 and copy it into the windows folder. Then use the Advanced Configuration Tool 3.3 (it needs MS Framework 3.5 to be installed to work) and go to Splash Screen. There you have to click the first green entry and change the path from windows/welcomehead.192.png to windows/welcomehead.193.png. Then Softreset. Now you have a new welcomehead, even with new ROM. Have fun!

Make it the way i told you, you don't have to change something in the windows folder to have a new startup screen.
^I did it and it worked great. thanks
But there are some other issues...for example if you want to enable navi panel or hidden games you need to copy some files into the start menu folder but that is not possible because the ROM won't let you.
any solution for the others?
