Hi there,

I'm experiencing a problem with this application. I cannot select any of the main Titanium panels to edit them. As soon as I keep pressed one panel, it automatically switches to move mode, so no editing is possible.

Thank you.

Omnia 2

Hi all,

any Omnia 2 user has positive experiences with Customizer? I am looking for a way to customize home screen and i was happy to find this lightweight tool, but it seems Samsung's WinMo system modifications are blocking even this app :confused:

It is possible to turn off and on default windows panels, but all other panels (weather, contacts etc.) do not show on my home screen :(

I should have bought HTC instead. At least, it seems just Samsung have Opera Favorites shortcuts :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
That's by design. You press & hold on a panel to drag it around to change the order.

If you want to edit a panel, just tap on it and then press Edit menu key.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Omnia II has known issues. Samsung did something special with their Titanium home screen and I'm still trying to figure out how to fix it. I'll update you guys once I figure out what's wrong.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] htcchris:
Thank you.

Those other panels did not have the Edit button active because they are not editable.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
I released v1.4. You can find it on US Marketplace as usual. There are several new translations available thanks to several volunteers! The new localized interfaces are: German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Swedish.

Favorite contacts panel now shows contact pictures.

Weather panel added auto-update based on a selected interval, and it also added city search to make it very simple for using it with non-US cities.

A new panel is added for Favorite App/MRU and you can see a screenshot of it on the first post.

I actually released v1.4 earlier than I should because I've since then received more help with translations. So v1.5 will be a more minor release with no new panels being added. It'll be mainly to add even more translations, bug fixes and once I've got all the translations I'll start pushing it out to other regions' marketplaces.

weather problem

Hello Thedumbkid

I´m having problems on locating my home town weather(Estoril.PRT), because your new app always send me to a town in USA. I had to modify the location code in registry and after this it give me my location.Was it something I did wrong or is it a problem?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hoola20055:
anyone had any luck with omnia 2 and the new customizer? If i can do testing for anyone let me know.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chelsea_fc:
please fix omnia2 issue, i really need the weather panel to run...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hoola20055:
yeah i just got elecont weather for weather on titanium. But an app button would be cool. awesome app none the less. Im glad someone made it!! Thanks even though i cant use it. **for now** :) I really do thank all the developers out there. without them we would never be happy.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
I'll try to get this fixed for v1.5... I attempted to guess at what might be wrong and did something for v1.4, but apparently that didn't solve the issue.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
When I type in "Estoril", the first result is "Estoril, PRT". What did you type to do the search?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Could you please try the attached CAB? I took another guess at what might be wrong.

1) Install Omnia2Fix.cab

2) Run "Omnia2 Fix" from start menu (there's no UI indication that it ran, but just tap on it and it should work)

3) Try using Home Screen Customizer again and see if panels show up

4) Uninstall Omnia2Fix from device and hopefully it did work

[EDIT] I removed the CAB since it didn't work
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chelsea_fc:
hi

i just tried the fix and the panel would not appear :(

thanks for ur effort, looking to fix the prob soon...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] nathanpc:
Very nice application!

Congratulations to let us know. :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hoola20055:
just tried the omnia cabfix. Still dont work. Thanks for keeping us informed! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bardaldeia:
Estorill

When I put the code for Estoril- wc:POXX0082 it gives me a city in USA.Then I changed the code in registry and it´s working allright.I don´t know why.Can it be because I have to dowload it from English-United States cause it doesn´t show in my home region?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Oh! Don't use the code anymore. Search for the city like you would normally by typing the city name.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chelsea_fc:
install the latest version, no need to type the city wearher code, just type ur city name...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Let's try collecting some logs then.

1) Download Omnia2Debug.cab and install it

2) Run "Omnia2 Fix" from start menu

3) Send omnia2debug.log in the root folder to me (homescreencustomizer@live.com) or attach it on the board

4) Also see if Customizer works after this

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bardaldeia:
Weather

Thank you very much. I didn´t know there was no need to put the code anymore.Now it´s working great, I just can´t figure out how to put in Portuguese.

RE: Omnia2 Debug Fix

I just tried your suggestion and it worked perfectly

1) Download Omnia2Debug.cab and install it

2) Run "Omnia2 Fix" from start menu

3) Send omnia2debug.log in the root folder to me (homescreencustomizer@live.com) or attach it on the board

4) Also see if Customizer works after this

Where do I find item 3?

Also note that when you run "Omnia2 Fix" not much happens visually but the Customizer worked perfectly afterwards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] chelsea_fc:
are you sure it worked on ur omnia2? i can't get it to display the panels :confused:
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bardaldeia:
Language

Hello again, Thedumbkid

Can you tell me if there´s a manual way to change language?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] docfreed:
Positive it worked. I added 2 new panels (Weather and Apps), was able to edit the apps panel to include my own favorite apps, etc. Just follow directions and be sure to soft reset after installing the Omnia2 Fix cab.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xmort04:
I was finally able to modify my home screen using following steps:

What i understood, main problem with Samsung phones is different CPR file with definition of home screen layout :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hoola20055:
still a nogo on my omnia 2. i have tried all options that have been poste. even the debug file. No go.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mcm.xii:
on my Ks20 with winmo6.5 com8 built i cant get to work the app panel :(
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
What version do you have?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Doesn't work in what way? Doesn't show? Does other panels like weather, contacts, etc show up?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Major A:
Strange, it does works actually for me ? Any Custom Titanium panels with mortscript installed ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] OneSman7:
Great App.

It brings abilties that MS forgot to include :).

I am trying to customize your panels :D.

Found CPRs in program directory, so that will be no problem. Also found weather icons and search icon. I guess you could add some customization settings: selecting weather icon sets, selecting tabs icons and etc.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] xenokira:
Thanks for the great app. I really appreciate that it's on the Marketplace too, it's such an easy way to keep everything up to date and have one place to d/l apps after a ROM flash (w/o having to saves cabs and have then become outdated).

The only suggestion I have would be to add a built-in tasks panel. I've had some issues with Taskanium, so it'd be really nice to have a convenient alternative. Anyway, keep up the good work!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Hellion_HfH:
Just tried this, but the panels haven't been displayed afterwards. I have noticed, the the registry keys for your custom panels e.g. TAApps are empty, even if i activated them before with your program.

I also checked SPlugins_480x800.cpr and i think it's updated correctly by your program.

I've also attached the logfile. Thx for your effort - you've developed a great program.

Please let me know, if i can help you by providing further information for example.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Could you please also attach your SPlugins_480x800.cpr for me to see? Thanks!

I thought the problem with Omnia2 was issue writing to SPlugins CPR. Did you try to use HSC after running omnia2debug cab? If not, could you please run it and add apps or other panels and then send me omnia2debug.log, SPlugins CPR, and also tell me if you see stuff show up in registry?

Thanks for helping!
[Windows Mobile Software Development] mcm.xii:
My only additionsla panel is AppStar Contacts do i have to have motorscript installed in oder to use the app panel ??
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Hellion_HfH:
I have new information for you. I tried to make everything as clean as possible, so I removed the HSC and the Omnia2Fix and disabled Titanium, made a soft reset and installed them again. I ran Omnia2Fix and HSC and tried to enable the Apps panel. Nothing happend, but the logfile contains now more information.

Obviously there's an UnauthorizedAccessException raised when your program tries to modify SPlugins.cpr. That's strange, because it has been modified (look attachment).

There aren't any registry values for your panels again. I think that's the main problem. I don't know your source, but maybe they aren't written because of the exception that happend before.

I've also attached an export of the CHome registry key.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] docfreed:
Make HSC Compatable with Omnia II

This program is remarkable and easy to use but there are a few glitches with the O2. Do you think that you could make a version that would work with O2.

I'd certainly be willing to contribute?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Major A:
Not at all, but your additional panel might be a reasonable flaw in the processus. I used HSC on all FB builds since 230xx, and I never encountered your problem, but I only use the panels added by HSC.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
I have the same problem with 1.4 from Marketplace. I have selected 3 additional panels in HSC (contacts, apps, weather). The first one displays correctly, the other ones have empty registry keys. This is reproducible on my Touch Diamond 2 but also on the Emulator (I tried GER WM 6.5 Prof Portrait QVGA).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
I just got the Omnia II. Didn't test HSC but in case you didn't know the difference is that Samsung have renamed the Titanium*.cpr to SPlugins*.cpr

But you can easily make your tool compatibly with whatever renamed CPR files if you read the "CPRFile" key from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome and use this string to generate the CPR file names.

This registry key says "SPlugin". So just add the resolution and .CPR and you're fine.

Oh! And this probably doesn't matter to you but Samsung also have additional plugins SCalendar, SClock etc. which they all renamed to S* for whatever reason. Indeed they're just looking the same like the standard titanium panels. This resulted in a bug because they don't have CClock in their list of panels anymore and forgot to change home panel, resulting that the first panel is always selected by default instead....
[Windows Mobile Software Development] asus535:
Please read my post about OmniaII compatibility.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] :
Could you rewrite the Contacts plugin? AppStar's "Favorite Contacts" plugin supports contact photos - I believe yours just shows the WM6.5 Contacts icon.

Thanks for the app. It's fantastic. No offence, but CHome Editor was messy.

This appeals to the majority, as it provides basic customization in a simple way.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
v1.4 already supports contact photos
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bardaldeia:
CPR

Hello, Thedumbkid

Could you make, in the next version a way to delete unnecessary CPR according to device resolution and language by regional settings.Thank you very much
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
those files are part of the ROM and can't be deleted. they can only be "overwritten" but what really happens is that they are just "duplicated" in your writeable storage. you need to exclude the files when building a new ROM. but why do you wanna do this? few KB of memory doesn't really matter IMO.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] bardaldeia:
I was talking about the CPR that are in program files\home screen customizer\CPR
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
v1.4 already deletes unnecessary language files.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] the_tk:
first: thank you for this great app! works really good and very nice to see it (also in german) marketplace!

now my wishes: :)

- i only have internet at school. but to get the current date in wheter-panel, you must connect to the internet, althougt the informations already downloaded (for next 5 days or so) (maybe they are not up-to-date, but better then from yesterday). would be great if the panel would automaticly switch the day, even if there is no connection. hope you understand what i mean^^

- a bigger picture in contacts panel or 4 contact at one site like in the app-panel

- back-up-functionality :P (for all the flash-junkies out there^^)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Nixeus:
:)

This soft is fantastic !!!!!

Great congratulation my friend !!!

Are you ok for we add this soft in our rom ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] WolfpackinCO:
Awesome app - thanks for making this!!

One suggestion for a future release is multiple contacts per panel page (say 4 or 6) - similar to what the app. panel allows you to do today.

hi

i'm having a certain amount of issues with various panels on v1.4

I'm running WM6.5.3 Build 28002 (BSB G) on a Diamond 1 and MTTY all the time.

Here are my issues :

- apps panel can only be configured once... after that there is no way to edit apps values

- same behaviour for contacts than apps

- weather tab will not update... althought connexion is fine... and it seems to auto update although it's set on manual.

- Installing or unistalling HSC crashes the phone !

Shame because it's quite an handy tool

regards
[Windows Mobile Software Development] hidnface:
very nice. thnx a lot
[Windows Mobile Software Development] martyramos:
Great job on the app

Thanks so much for providing...great application! Love the app line...will greatly reduce my use of the start menu.

Some suggestions/thoughts as you continue to enhance:

a way to backup/restore settings prior to/after flashing

a time entry that also shows the date when not highlighted, and a touch/softkey to get to a simple calender

weather could link to "more detailed" forecast when touched

damn near perfect job on the apps line...might be nice to have a couple (e.g. games) structured identically

ability to change titles (e.g. favorites?)

favorites should allow scrolling through favorites, rather than just a browser button

always thought this list should "wrap", allowing a circular scroll...even cooler if an icon could optionally be shown as first part of a line

Thanks!

Is a way to download it from another place?

If you want help for French Translation, I could help, just send me a pvt message
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Happy new year! v1.5 is out.

I guess that's ok, but I don't want to support it.

Good suggestion :)

You run the Customizer app again, select the desired panel (e.g. apps) and press the "Edit" soft key to configure it any time you want. You'll need to provide more details about the crash and weather panel such as repro steps. How can it not update but also auto-update at the same time?

What version do you have?

Can't download for what country? Marketplace version is signed correctly and will work on all devices.

Thanks! :) Somebody already helped to translate the app to French.

Landscape titanium gets scrambled!!

Landscape gets scrambled when I use your program.

I'm currently on AthineOS 28014 Rhodium.

When I uninstall your app titanium landscape is no more.

And I mean no more. switch to landscape and titanium goes totally black.

The only things that are visible are the top and bottom bars.

Is there a way to restore this without hard reset?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
What device? Which panels did you add?

To restore, try deleting Titanium_*.cpr files from \Windows that correspond to your screen resolution. There are two: one for landscape and one for portrait.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] emwdava:
Touch Pro 2 (aka Rhodium) European unlocked version.

I added weather and apps.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ja8m1e6s:
yeah i would also like to know where to download it other then market, i have a custom rom thats stripped of all but the bare essientials, no internet explorer, no office, etc. i downloaded market place but it absolutely refuses to open after its installed. perhaps you could upload to gigashare or something. i would be extremely appreciative.

btw need the us english version
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dpesquire:
Great app. I'm using this on my Treo Pro with NightRaven's 6.5 ROM. Only problem I have is that the weather panel seems a bit cramped, with text and icons overlapping. Any way I can fix this? Lower the text at the bottom or something?

Thanks.

German version of HSC 1.5 ???

any chance to get the german translation of HSC 1.5 on the marketpalce?

THX
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Snappy-xda:
HSC 1.5 UK version

Congrats on the App and the Marketplace support.

I'm eagerly awaiting V1.5 for the Omnia II in the UK as none of the Marketplace region fixes seem to work...

I’d welcome a PM with a link (for research purposes only of course!)

Any ideas when it might be made available?

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] apc_monk:
Great app and am loving it so far. Only thing i noticed is that the favorite contacts it sometimes takes several seconds to load. Sometimes it seems quicker and sometimes not. Other than that works great. Keep up the great work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
I think that's because I wrote the launcher in C# :p If I wrote it in C++ it'll probably be faster.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
Try this:

1) Run HSC

2) Remove weather and save

3) Edit \Program Files\Home Screen Customizer\CPR\TAWeather3.cpr (If the device is 320x320. Or TAWeather5.cpr (If the device is 480x480)

Find <Text ID="Description" and change the Top value higher so that it doesn't overlap

4) Run HSC

5) Add back weather panel
[Windows Mobile Software Development] thedumbkid:
For those that have trouble getting it from Marketplace, try the attached cab. It has all languages... I'm still waiting for the app to pass certification process for regions other than US - English.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] dpesquire:
Thanks for the reply. What I ended up doing (after a few hours of experimentation because I knew nothing about cpr files) was just to make the Current Temperature font size smaller. It looks good now. Again, thanks. Great app.

HSC 1.5 cab

Just installed v1.5 on my Omnia II & it looks pretty close to perfect!

The weather gives a great 5 day forcast and the App launcher is a must for any home screen.

Keep up the good work - I look forward to future developments.

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:
I tested 1.5 on two devices!

Touch diamond 2:

1. Before installing 1.5 I tried to uninstall 1.4 and it doesn't work: my phone freezes. I finally succeeded to remove it through Active Sync.

2. I tried to add weather, contacts and apps panels. weather and contacts are working fine. I added "Explorer" to the apps panel but it doesn't show in the Titanium plugin. When I launch HSC and click on "edit apps" I still see Explorer but it doesn't just appear in the plugin.

3. Yesterday, when clicking "Update" on the weather panel then Contacts app was launched. I just re-tested today but now it's working!?

Omnia II:

1. I succeeded in adding the apps panel with Explorer. But in the plugin it shows only the explorer icon, not the text "Explorer". I don't know if this is desired result?

2. The Samsung S_* Panels can't be selected as default panels. probably an issue in the Samsung files and not HSC but maybe you can still fix this.

3. Omnia II comes pre-configured with a different color theme. Basically colors are inverted: black background, white text. When I move the order of the panels in HSC then all panels are "invisible" (black on black) when I drag them.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] LMM:
Found the home screen application on market place and came here to post a very big THX for the app.

Great work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Onceuponatime:
yes count me in too :D

Just bought my windows phone not long ago..and this app just fit what i looking for. Great thanks to the developer
[Windows Mobile Software Development] apc_monk:
I see. :) One other small thing, with the app panel could you add a small white effect around the app when it is selected? The way it is now you can"t tell if the app is going to start or not.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] ramdroid77:

Is it possible for you to add an interface which allows us to add icons to the Titanium pages, i.e. to make my Titanium look like this:

I'm having a problem with the apps panel.

Works fine except when I press the 'Recent' soft key.

The panel then says I have to restart my device for it to work correctly.

Have done this a couple of times now and always get the same result.

Has anyone else seen this behaviour?

Is there a fix.

I am not too worried about the 'Recent' items anyway so I might see if I can reg hack to something else if this is my unique problem.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mark McDermott:
Very good app. A couple of requests if i may ask.

- I also have a Samsung Omnia II and have noticed that we cannot make any of the "S" panels the favorite. Mainly after Sclock as favorite.

- The other problem i have is the weather data. Not sure where this is sourced but for my location Brisbane Australia the max temp in forecast is out by up to 4 degrees Celcius. Other panels i have used get their data from Accuweather which is always correct (compared from bom.gov.au website)

- As someone else suggested it would be good to have a couple of other panels like the apps panel. Settings and Games would be nice.

Very Good :)
