Okay, go right back to the beginning and uninstall everything (and make sure again the the CHTEditor folder is definitely deleted, like you did last time), and this time just install the latest version of each piece of software. These aren't patches or updates - they're brand new versions, so you don't need previous versions to be installed.

It should still work, obviously, but you're adding layers of problems by doing this.

So basically, uninstall from "Remove programs", then check the CHTEditor folder is definitely gone. Then, install v1.7.1 of both Co0kie's Home Tab and CHTEditor. (Don't worry about restarting Sense at any point when trying to install the editor - it's a windows application, not a manila one.)

Let me know how you get on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ugumba:
Thanks for a great utility!

I'm looking for the best way to backup and restore CHT settings unattended, i.e. I'd prefer not to have to use the UI.

I am aware of all (?) the registry locations, but the keys in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila are a pain because there are many other keys there which I don't want to touch. Besides, CHT and CHTE may very well modify things (i.e. patch manila files) which I don't want to know about, so using CHTE for backup and restore makes the most sense to me.

However, I'd prefer that backup could happen silently as part of my "full backup" Mortscript, and that restore could happen silently as part of my SASHIMI procedure.

Is there any chance that command line support could be added to achieve this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Nice idea mate. I've just added it to the "to be implemented" list. I've got a version coming out this weekend (all being well) with multi-language support, so I may not get it in that version. If it's not in that (v1.7.1.2) then it will be in the next one (v1.7.1.3).

Thanks for the suggestion :)

lock issue during a call and ending

hi, got a question, is there a solution to when your on a call for x amount of minutes and then the caller hangs up and u do the same, but you find your device is locked. before you can hang up the call, u have to first unlock the unit. is there a way around that so the unit won't lock while on a call? i also tried turn off lock on standby, but that wont lock the phone when the display turns off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Captain_Throwback:
Lockscreen Settings Import issue

I remember this issue being reported in previous versions of 1.7, and was wondering if I'm the only one that still has it. When re-installing CHT & the Editor, when I import my saved settings (saved from the same version of Editor - 1.7.1.1), the Lockscreen settings don't get restored unless I first lock the device (which I assume creates the Lockscreen reg key?). After that, if I re-import the settings, the saved lockscreen settings are restored. Does anyone else have this issue? Of course, if you've already installed and restored your settings now, you won't be able to tell, but since I flash ROMs so frequently, I get to test this out quite often, and it's been the same every time.

P.S. I'm installing the Editor in a CAB I created combined with CHT. I don't know if that could somehow be an issue (it shouldn't be, since there's no setup.dll in your CAB or anything). But I figured I should mention it anyway.

As always, keep up the good work!

Editing home tabs...

not sure what or how to use this part...

HTC HD2 T Mobile USA CHEditor v1.7.1.1

when I go here.....

home page

menu

CoOkies home tab editor

Applications....

I see a list.

Does this mean I go elsewhere and find a weather application to install for example. then I link it to CoOkies Home program here?

If so, what are some examples of an Alarm app, call History app (?), voicemail app?

Thanks for looking, love the home page.

I would like some Sesame street characters to add to the layout!

That file is also the bar above the hometab quicklinks (date, time and alarm) when you swipe up.

Sorry if Original post was off-topic

I tried it out (disable manilla, install, soft-reset, re-enable manilla), and it does clear the bar, but also give me little white boxes, where the icons used to be...If I swipe up to show only time/date/alarm- the text is jumbled.

An uninstall and soft-reset fixed the issue...

It should be noted (and probably should have been noted before) that I'm using a CDMA device (not sure why that would matter for this)...

i posted this is the updated cookies thread.. but figured that i should try here also...

i was running the cookies and CHT editorv1.6 and i also had the mtro lock screen enabled.. everything worked flawlessly.. then i updated to 1.7.1 for both and i noticed that my metro lockscreen does not come up anymore.. i tried unstalling and reinstalling after the 2 initial updates but still nothing...

its a shame because i really loved my metro lockscreen addition... i think it may have something to do with the fact that the updated cookies and editor offers tweaks to the lockscreen... keep in mind that i did not touch any lock screen settings... so is there anyone out there that has any suggestions? or perhaps a workaround? because iI'm already missing the metro lol.. please help someone...

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
First of all, thanks to everyone for the kind words - it's very much appreciated, and I'm glad this app is useful to so many of you. Now, down to some Q&A...

The applications page lists all the "linked" applications on your home tab (what runs when you click the weather, the clock, the date etc..) You open the list and pick an application, or select "default", and that's what runs when you click the item you selected. As for the Sesame Street characters, you can get all the information you need for changing icons in the start menu and on quicklinks from the forum. You'll probably have to design the icons yourself if you want something specific, but have a good read through these search results and I'm sure you'll find all the information you need...

http://xdaforums.com/search.php?searchid=36686720

I really don't know why this issue is persisting, but it is nonetheless. When you run Co0kie's Home Tab for the first time (including after an upgrade from one version to another), it stores its version number in the registry. Then, when you run the editor, it checks this version to make sure it is compatible with the version of the editor you are running. (This is obviously a LOT easier than supporting lots of cross-version compatibility issues that would occur if we didn't do this.) So, can you check the following registry value (and set it if you need to):

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Co0kie.HomeVersion = 1.7.1

If you still have a problem when you've done that, then please let me know. In fact, if there's still a problem after that, don't post on here - pvt me to get my full attention. Thanks :)

Co0kieMonster's thread was the correct place to post this, so just await an answer on there. Co0kieMonster himself has not been around much recently as he's got a lot of work to do in the "real world", but he's by no means forgotten you. There's also a lot of the beta testing team looking out on his thread, so you may well get an answer from one of them.

I have no plans to add this into the editor, but I do know that someone is looking into developing an app for this specific thing, so keep an eye on the forum ;)

These final issues are all manila issues, so nothing to do with the editor, and therefore I can't help you. Post them on the Cookie's Home Tab thread and wait for either Co0kieMonster or one of the beta testing team to get back to you.

using energy rom with manila version 2.5.20.... having issues with cookies home tab... not displaying the full home screen... i.e quicklinks... also downloaded the editor... but i don't have menu softkey on homescreen
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Sorry mate - I did overlook that.

For the editor to do that, it would require a restart of Sense. The only reasons that this can be done with the method you described is because that is Sense making the changes. (Just like the weathor on/off button - you cannot do that outside Sense).

So I won't be implementing that feature in the editor. Thanks for the suggestion though.

As you said, you're having issues with Co0kie's Home Tab. You'd need to report those issues on the Co0kie's Home Tab thread.

hi, my english is not very good... so i could not read all the pages here or understand it. but i have two questions about the programe.

1: the hometabeditor just works if i just started the mobile. when i want to start it later it says "cth editor is not installed". how can i change that?

2. is it possible that there is a pin number when i want to unlock the mobile? i had it before when i used the lockmode of the phone. but now when i use the lockmode of this programe i dont have to type a pin.

thanks a lot!

paul

edit: the first answer i found out myself... it just doesnt work if it is connected to the pc.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Glad you answered the 1st question. I guess you've got the editor installed on your storage card and connect to the PC as a USB drive, so the phone does not have access to the storage card.

As for the second question, you would need to raise that in the Co0kie's Home Tab thread as it is nothing to do with the editor.

anyone tell me how can i change digital clock to analog clock by CHTEditor v1.7.1.1...thnx:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
It's not done from the Editor. It's done from CHT itself, I believe, though I could be wrong. From the home tab: Menu\Edit Home Layout\Advanced\ then choose your style clock from the Show Clock drop down list.

Hi all,

hope someone of you can help me.

I had installed CHT 1.7.1 on my artemis rom 10.0 GER

Everything was ok ... I export my CHTEditor settings and

flash the new artemis rom 11.0 GER. After installing all

my customizations, I import my CHTEditor Settings

Now I have got the problem, that the small previews for

my internetquicklinks are not there :(

When I add a new quicklink, i must open the internetsite

and close it, then the small preview on CHT appears.

But when I try that after the import of my chteditor settings,

there is now small preview.

Thank you

Robert

edit: I think is a problem of the new artemis rom 11.0

Because in the internet-tab there are now previews too.

in your homescreen open the "Menu" (right soft key) -> "Edit Home Layout" (think it is named so, I'm using German). Then you see your homescreen, but in the "editor mode".

Undesired consequences of using CHTEditor

I have some things happening on my T-Mobile HTC HD2 Home screen that I don't want. The Sun Rays won't turn off. The cloud effects won't turn off either.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xILukasIx:
I'm using the latest Energy ROM for my HD2 and I sometimes have to unlock it twice.

I get the standard unlock screen with the slider in the middle, even though it is disabled in the CHT Settings, and the HD Mini lockscreen, which I enabled.

It doesn't happen all the time, just like every third time.

How can I fix that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Hi Kuzibri,

Please report that on the Co0kie's Home Tab thread, as that is part of that mod.

Can you look in the application folder (\Program files\CHTEditor, on either your device or storage card) and send me the file "chteditor_debug". It will help me narrow down the problem.

This really does sound like a question for Co0kie's Home Tab, but just in case, what do you mean when you say you can't enable the default lockscreen when you disable the CHT lockscreen? Do you mean that the On/Off slider does not work?

Run the application \Windows\cgacutil.exe - it will tell you what version(s) of .Net you have installed. The application is built to work with .Net 3.5+, so anything higher should still be okay. I'm afraid that until you get any .Net problems resolved there's little I can do to help with the editor.

Great idea mate, but I'm afraid I'm not going to do it. The plain and simple reason is that this application takes up so much time already that if I were to add more into it then I believe it would suffer as a result. Also, it's the CHT Editor, not the CHT & other stuff editor ;)

Maybe if things get real quiet with Co0kie's Home Tab then I could write an editor just for the Advanced Home Tab, but that's not a promise!

Thank you. Glad you're not all having problems with it :)

Are you unzipping the CAB file and running the setup.xml file? That would open Opera (or your default web browser). Don't unzip the CAB file - it's an installer. Just copy it to your phone and run it. Just make sure you install Co0kie's Home Tab as well, or this editor does nothing.

What do you mean when you say they "won't turn off"? (This is nothing to do with Co0kie's Home Tab or the editor, btw.) On the home page, go to menu, home wallpaper, animated wallpaper and then click albums. Browse your phone for your desired wallpaper and select it. That will turn off the weather wallpaper.

These final issues are all issues with the home tab mod, so you need to read the Co0kie's Home Tab thread and see if your issues have been resolved there.

Not sure if anyone has similar problems. I am using the CHT lockscreen and have set up such that the Homescreen layout is identical to the Lockscreen layout. However since I am quite a flash addict, the export function is important.

I noticed that the Homescreen layout imports fine but for the Lockscreen layout, I have to resetup and 'fine tune' the position such that the clocks and appointment position matches which is quite time consuming for my big thumb. Anyway to export the Lockscreen layout as well or am I the only one with this problem. Thanks!
