New! Full 'HTC Live Home' for S710/E650 as on S730.

[Guest Looby]

Hi all, this is a full 'HTC Live Home' theme I have created for the Vox S710/E650 Smartphone. I have been using it for a week and it functions perfectly including Weather Updates. A blue version will follow shortly. Please follow the installation instructions carefully. Enjoy...looby :(

NB. You will need Facade available from www.sbsh.net This should be installed to the DEVICE memory.

The time selection can be changed 12hr/24hr in regional settings.

So it's actually using the ripped off DLL ? Just guessing without looking at the files ...

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Hmmm...

[Guest Looby]

Nothing has been ripped off as you put it, thankyou :(

[Guest Pr0sper]

So this means there's a working "Touch"-plugin DLL on the Vox?

Why are you working with a HTCHome.dll that has to be installed seperately then?

I don't wanna badmouth that homescreen - just curious to know how you are seeing this. Is it more like borrowing a dll like with the Orange plugin?

PS: Uhm... Why do you let people install the LCD plugin when you actually don't use it ... o.O

Hi prOsper, it's as it is as you know. It is what people have been asking for. Also I put the LCD on because I like the hourly 'blip' and it gives other people the option if they want it.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't the 'Gregory' CAB the ripped HTC Home from the S730?

[Guest mavgink]

ripped or not.. I installed the grey version and it's awesome! thanks alot... al options are working. good job!

[Guest pd.ryder]

Is there a version of this Home Screen for touchscreen?

I've seen this frontage on a number of devices and really don't know what it's called or how to find it. I'd like to see it on my Vario II once I've installed the T-Mob WM6 upgrade.

Is there any way to add more citys on the list of weather forecast?

Come on guys, give Looby a break.

Ripped off a device or not, he's taken the time to collate all these files together, and put it together to recreate the HTC home screen that can be installed on other devices.

He's done it in his own spare time and put together two great versions.

He's not asking for anything in return and he's done a great job.

We should be encouraging him to do more, not criticise or give a hard time about it.

I cannot see my calendar entries in the bottom, why is that...?

If you have Facade go to the settings to configure them :(

[Guest illi]

I'd prefer the long date above the clock face coz it includes the day as well.

Thank you.

Help, afters installing Gregory HTCHome.cab my phone doesn't restarting anymore.

It keeps on booting, but after the windows mobile screen it's restarting again.

Can someone please help me with this??

[Guest Paul (MVP)]

Try popping out the SD?

[Guest Caatje]

Thanx, that worked, it restarted fine :-)

Lets find out what went wrong

[Guest prajith]

thanks looby it works great

[Guest fraqture]

First of all, thanks for the excellent work Looby. A long time I have been waiting for a homescreen with those looks and all the functionality. :(

What I don't quite understand though is how I'm supposed to use the contacts tab on the homescreen? I've assigned a contact to each slot, but are they there for display purposes only? Because I cannot select each photo individually, I can only press the action button to display the list of contact slots.

[Guest wizgnome]

No problem with the Home screen, looks really nice, but why not show tasks as well as the schedule??

Something like this perhaps:

<!-- Facade Plugin: Tab bar -->

<plugin clsid="{C49CEC80-D445-407C-AA72-C263EDBBAC96}" id="FacadeTabBar" type="TabBar" viewId="FacadeView" height="26" >

<format padding-bottom="2" textIndent="2"/>

<tabs>

<view padding-top="0" padding-left="4"/>

<tab type="Schedule" action="Calendar" textIndent="6" font-size="15" font-weight="bold">

</tab>

<tab type="Tasks" action="Tasks" textIndent="6" font-size="15" font-weight="bold">

</tab>

</tabs>

</plugin>

<!-- Facade Plugin View: This is the view that shows the info for each tab -->

<plugin clsid="{C49CEC80-D445-407C-AA72-C263EDBBAC96}" id="FacadeView" height="60" landscapeHeight="2"/>

I have had the reboot problem with the SD card previously.

I did manage to get it to boot with the SD card in by doing various things:

When I first had the problem switching to flight mode before a reboot fixed the problem.

Then after installing some other software it would only reboot with the SD card in if I first ran "SK Tools" to clear duplicates in the notification list and selected a home screen which did not access the SD card (including the MRU list) such as "Windows Simple".

Then when I installed the Office 6.1 update the problem appeard to go away.

Now that I have installed Facade for your homescreen I have have not managed to get it to boot with the SD card inserted.

I assume its a bug in the SD card driver - after reading other posts elsewhere I think that later rom versions may have fixed the problem.

[Guest psudo]

Thanx, that worked, it restarted fine :-)

Lets find out what went wrong

Mines doing the excact same thing, boot looping forever until SD is out. Started after installed the .cab and moved the files to home folder as explained. A minor bug perhaps, but not at longhaul solution...

[Guest birdibird]

worked perfect here! :D

'cause I have no facade, I deleted that and added the calendar plugin from your smarttouch homescreen.

Also copied the little icon row from there

Maybe you make a version like that for the pplz who don't have facade?

keep up the good work!!!!

:(
