I'm pretty sure that there's help for problems with landscape mode when using CHT. This is just the settings editor - the problem you have will be something to with CHT itself, so you're best to search that thread for solutions, or ask there.

CHTEditor: Using Softkeys

Hi,

I'm trying to place the HTC People (my contacts) as one of my softkeys. However, it's not working and it's because the "HTC People" is labeled as "ManiliaShortcut". What can I do to get around this. I tried using the command-line but I'm confused on how it works. Can anyone help me out?

Thanks!

Hi John,

Fantastic app but I'm having a slight problem. I've upgraded to the latest version of your app but when I try to export my settings, I get this message:

''There was a problem exporting your settings information''

It worked fine on the last version (which I have kept and moved to a different folder, but I've made some changes and want to do a fresh backup. Can anyone help?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
I'm afraid that there's a problem with the import/export features in this version. There's a new version coming out this weekend that has a fix for this, but you won't be able to use old export files with it anyway.

The import/export feature is really meant for when you flash a new ROM or do a hard reset, so you don't lose your Co0kie settings and quicklinks.

Basically, you're stuck with it now mate. Sorry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gargon01:
Not a problem,

I was just coming back to edit my post to reflect that other people have had the same problem and you had said you would be releasing a new version, so I'll wait for that.

Keep up the great work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
John,

Does the later version you kindly mention offer any other newly created items.

Just that I was about to install the current version this weekend but if there is something new or that may effect the present version I will wait.

Thanks in advance.

Mike :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Yes mate - both Co0kieMonster and myself are planning releases very soon, and there will be new features in his mod that are reflected in the settings editor. The current version won't actually work with his next release as we're tying version numbers together to avoid people having conflicts between versions.

I obviously can't speak for Co0kieMonster, but I'm planning on having the new version released on Saturday or Sunday.

Also, I'd hold off if you can, purely because of the export problems that some people have had. The next version will export settings & quicklinks correctly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Beards:
Appreciated John.... Cheers, I'll hold of for now until both you and Co0kieMonster have your respective apps out. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
is there any way to hide the slider entirely so it only shows your Home tab?

I think it does a good enough job on its own without the need for other tabs.

The only other tab which anyone would need access to is the settings. If it was possible to hide the taskbar, you could shortcuts to the quicklinks which moves you to the settings page, then maybe add something to the settings page to take you back?

Or even, if it were possible, remove the slider and then swipe between pages only using the top half of the page, where the clock is?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cris_rowlands:
Ultimately what my last post leads me to ask is:

Is there any chance of you making a standalone today plugin like this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] thomasVPA:
Hi. in my case the app doenst work. any changes i made where not applied. i tried very often but nothing....

maybe its not compatible with the manila 2.5.2012...? i dont know but i would love to have 5 quicklinks in hometab...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Did you install Co0kie's Home Tab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
I've seen a retractable slider mod on here somewhere that would probably suit what you're looking for. You can just drop the slider off the bottom of the screen and remove all the tabs except home and settings. I don't know if it would be compatible with this mod though, so you may have to choose between that and lots of quicklinks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dXsL:
REQ: "start menu WITHOUT hexagon" and "reset manilla"

excellent app, thank you!!

could you please consider looking at:

- a start menu app, that shows 4 or 5 rows but without the horrible hexagon grid? currently i use "awesome start menu" that shows a list, also good.

- a "reset manilla" button, for the sometimes much needed reset. Just like Touch X wrote "wifi enable/disable" and "bluetooth enable/disable". easy one-click button.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gwelwhir:

Maybe the editor could check this on its very first startup? ;)

Works just fine with Co0kie Mod and this add on as well.

I have just made some new cabs as well with new timeout settings for the slider tab. If anyone is interested I can post them as well.

The default timing on my cab is 2 seconds.

I have made 3 through 10 seconds as well.

I have also made a completely transparent skin for it as well, if desired.

Shortcut backup

John, great app! :)

Could you consider including backup of shortcuts in quicklinks in export settings? It would be a nice feature, while we have to upgrade our roms sometimes few times a week.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
That's already part of the export procedure. I was hoping to get a version out this weekend, but that might not happen now. It shouldn't be too long though ;)

Hey, i was the one with the PlatformNotSupported Exception...

Just wanted to let you guys know (incase its not something known.. im new after all) is that it was because my Local setting wasnt one of the ones you apperantly support... (dont know why the program doesnt just default to english... )

Anyway, sweet sweet plugin.. .thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Thanks for the info. I had looked into that and was trying to figure out why the region should make a difference as this app doesn't use localization at all. It will do soon though, so that may resolve the issue.

Thanks for getting back to us, and glad you got it working :)

How to install it, Do I need to remove old verison before I reinstall new version? For both of Co0kies Home Tab and Co0kies Home tab Edition?

The procedure I always carry out is as such:-

Uninstall the application/.cab

Soft Reset to clear out any debris.

Install the updated application/cab update.

Soft Reset to allow the registry/.dll files etc to become active.

there was a translation toolkit, but i couldn't find it here now. removed perhaps?

anyway, i have it on my pc (can upload) but let's hear from Co0kie, maybe it's being updated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fatutts:
thanks. Wait a bit.

If there is no news, you could upload it and I'll be very grateful.

Great job mate! Ahhh that's why i wouldn't change an HTC for another WM device! It's the experts here making it all better! Not to mention that due to the two programs (c00kie's home tab & and the editor), I gave the 2.5 manila a chance. Those 3x3 programs were just awfull imho. :p

And now enjoying it in my TP2.

Btw, reading some comments about translating above, I'd be more than willing to translate it in Greek if you plan on having it multilingual in the future :D

Quick question. I have the original 1.54 editor and have exported my settings. Can 1.6 import them or am I SOL?? :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Thanks for the comments guys. I do plan to do a multi-language version at some point, and have had quite a few offers on this thread. When I do get round to doing it I'll be in touch.

Thanks again :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Sorry mate - there was a problem with the export & import function in the previous version so I've had to rewrite it. 1.54 settings won't import, but this will never happen again. Future releases will always import settings from 1.6 onwards, so you'll have to set it up again, but it should be the last time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nelsonw:
i think you forget to add weather animation on/off. I'm right?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] harolds:
I exported with the 1.54 editor and after un-installing 1.5.4 and re-installing to 1.6 of Co0kie's Home Tab, and the installing 1.6 of Co0kie's Home Tab Editor and tried importing, I got an invalid file error.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
No, I didn't find it at first either, but if you go to add quicklinks then it's in there. It's a simple toggle button, but works a treat. Kudos to Co0kie for that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rebecker:
Great job! Thanks a lot!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Yeah, sorry mate. See the post a few above.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
I thought you might be happy with it ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] harolds:
I wished you had posted this prior to installing v1.6 of Co0kie's Home Tab, that way I could have did the manual process so as not to lose my quick links.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcc13:
Ah, that bites. Oh well I`ll just take a screen capture of my pages and go from there :)

Thanks for your efforts and a great app add-on ;)

I installed Cookie mod 1.6 and your CHTEditor v1.6, but when I try to open your editor it says it's the wrong version. Do I need to use CHTEditor 1.54 for Cookie Mod v1.6?

And yes, before someone wastes their time saying it, I have triple checked that I have the right version of each...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nelsonw:
WOW Nice!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gwelwhir:
oops.. the translation toolkit was for co0kie's home tab.. not the editor. :o

but great to see that the editor will also be translated at some point :)

Activated Sense and than also Editor was working

Best regards & Many thanks & Sorry for the trouble

Absolutely good editor. Perhaps you can make a little optimization. A few days age I read on pocketnow.com that some created a toolkit for making editors like yours with elastic animations, for eaxample like the settings tab in manila. Sorry, I don't know the creator's name anymore.

NOOB Question

How can you find out the version of Cookie that is installed? And I love your Editor can't wait for the Export feature to work.

thanks for your very nice application.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
For the people who get the wrong version message. You might have missing reg entries from my mod. Try importing them manually from this .reg file: http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=289206&d=1267734536 (the reg will also reset your quick links so back them up)

See if that solves it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] doudou1206:
for the animation

what are the differences between the 4 simulations
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
That is how was doing it also. I will try enabling sense first...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgreening:
Another Question

Sorry for all the questions but if the export doesn't work how do you back up the Quick Links? I went into the registry and did a backup of what I thought was the right place to backup but when I tried to import them into the registry I was advised the file was not valid. I am not the fluent in the registry and I don't really like messing with it but I did try that.

Is there another way to back up the links?

Thanks,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adiereeves:
Ue total commander ... go all the way back by pressing the " \ " in the top right corner (next to " .. "), double tap on \\plugins, then on "registry".

- Now navigate to HKLM \ Software \ HTC \ Manila

- Tap and hold on "HOME" and choose copy/move

- Choose a path to store the file (storage card is good) and tap "copy"

this will save a file called "HOME.REG"

When you want to restore the quicklinks (after a new flash etc):

- Find the file on your storage card (or where ever) with Total Commander (HOME.REG)

- Tap & hold on it and choose "copy/move"

- for the path, type \\\registry\*.* (yes, you need ALL 3 \'s at the begining)

- tap copy

- Soft reset

:) That is of course if you can't export your settings with CHTEditor, only just started using it myself so not quite sure yet if it backs up your quicklinks. Will read more now, please don't flame or correct me, was just trying to help quickly and will read up on CHTEditor now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dgreening:
Thanks, I will do the backup and then keep your instructions handy for when (and there will be a when) I update my ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tcc13:
Yes, it backs up quick links :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Once you've updated to v1.6 and you're happy with the setup, do an export of your settings. This can then be used when you update your ROM, even with later versions of this application. It's an unfortunate side-effect of the way that settings were previously saved, but anything prior to 1.6 cannot be used in 1.6. Later versions will be fine. I know this is a pain, and I apologise for that. It's for this reason that I have done my best to make it "future-proof".

thanks for the awesome editor. kind of wish you and cookie would merge both cabs to one. reduce the amount of stuff needed for installation. HEH
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] illi:
I would also suggest that the exported file be exported as a cab file for easy installation.

In the previous version, I exported the registry and convert it into a cab file. So whenever I flash a new rom i just run the cab.:)

Anyway, thatks for such a :cool: app.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] twe90kid:
that would be awesome...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
This is due to the controls that I've used to make the editor. I have a few issues with them, and I'm looking at making my own controls at some point so that it works how I want it to. It will come in a later version.

That's already on the drawing board - thanks for the comments ;)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Meeko1981:
Great little app and saves me delving into the registry to do the changes!

One idea for future development would be the ability to change the text under the quicklinks (DispName registry entry) though the CHTEditor app rather than going into the registry.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mrdannyaitch:
John, I'm not sure if this would be to do with your editor options or co0kies update but you seem to reply pretty quickly so I hope you don't mind me asking here.

I'm pretty sure on the 1.5.4 version the appointments view on the home page could be swiped or tapped so that appointments were either shown or not depending on user choice, which I quite liked as it looked less cluttered when they were hidden, and a quick tap showed them.

This doesn't seem to have carried across to the latest version, and I can't see a setting for it in your editor.

Was I imagining it?

very good work on this by the way to you and co0kie, the phone is so much more managable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Archer:
Thanks for the compliment mate - I'm glad you like :)

I don't remember there being an option to toggle the appointments from the screen, and you're right - there isn't one in the editor.

Basically, I'm not being much use in answering your question ;)

Sorry mate.
