thx for this great app

for some reason I have this graphic error in clock background,

no other manila eyecandy installed
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Heart1010:
I have this white background with your "Circle Indicator only" cab (need only that one). So when you have also a test version for that one I can try it...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
Hi,

Are you sure you are using the right versions? Cookies Home Tab 1.6.1 + the Cab from the first post AND have no other mods installed? (How did you made the top curtain transparent?) Which Manila version are you running?

I'm asking because I installed the mod several times on a clean CHT 1.6.1 installation and never encountered this (there is a graphical error with the dotted line between appointment 1 + 2 too, which isn't there in the version I'm using right now).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
not at the moment. I want to narrow down the problem. Different versions and files would make it more difficult and take longer .. :o
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mkid:
still no good. see screen shot attached.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] bgumble:
it's

Manila 2012

Co0kie's Home Tab for 1.6.1

Co0kie's Home Tab - NEW ALIGNMENT (Side By Side) for 1.6.1 Old School

no other manila eyecandy

on

Topix 3.5.6 Sense 2.5.2012 (Blackstone)

there's no top curtain by default, but that might cause this error
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] qitt:
The problem is the picture size of page indicators. I change it to 32x32 and seems your mod works well now. Hope this solution helps you.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
good to know.

still strange, because the white bg error seems to be present at parts I didn't even change.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] qitt:
Yes, strange... Yesterday I did my own mod and changed size of pics. When I installed it I saw white background too. Only thing I changed is pics size. Seems if size not 32 ( or maybe 16 ) it ignored by manila. I don't understand it.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] qitt:
One more thing... I change pics size in your mod and post it on russian forum. Here's screenshot. One member points on white stripes after my changes.

Thank you. Very nice.

Is it possible to reduce the size of the weather fonts?

Missed the 'r'.

Being too long. It will be nice to fit it in totally.

Thank you again.

Hi Chalid,

i think i found a bug in the old scool version.

When you swipe up u see a white box instead the clock. ->see Picture.

Can you fix this? Or let me know where i can look for this?

greets Oli
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Goodgroove:
Great Great Work Thank You sooooo much:):):)

Regards from Leipzig
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
yeah ... I didn't figure out what causes this ... someone in the thread already found the solution in editing the width and height values of the bugged backgrounds. But since I don't have this problem and the values are in fact correct with the files attached to the first post, there isn't much I can do to fix the problem. It might be a problem with a specific Manila version or another mod ... didnt get enough clues to figure out where the problem lies.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] CowMix:
it would be cool if in swipe up program view mode, if one row of program icons could be removed and the small text clock at the top could be replaced with the one of your regular side by side clock and weather mods.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] :
Sorry, wrong thread....
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mv3900:
Very nice mod.

I see that you have a non-flip clock for the old school variant, but I'm using a NRG ROM that has Cookie cooked it. It has the non-oldschool homescreen. I tried the 'old school' mod, but it messed up the display.

Would it be possible to create a version of the side-by-side with a non-flip clock?

Thanks.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orestachen:
i installed Co0kie's home tab and new alignment by chalid

but i have one more dot line over my appointment area on my home tab

(as picture)

Could you help to fix it?

Malina: 2.5.20121412

ROM: 2.10.531.0_sp (82076) CHT
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
hm ... do you have any other mod installed? I can only point you in the right direction, but can't fix that, because the alignment is fine with my 1921 and 2012 sense versions ...

you need to edit 7c60907d_manila file with mode9 editor and change the *******_SBar1 and *******_SBar2 position values.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] orestachen:
thanks for your answer

I will try
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
Is it possible to use the cmE CHT page indicator 1.6.1.cab without installing advanced home tab? I don't really like to have the page indicator up in the right corner ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
What do you mean?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Halle:
I mean I want to have the page indicator att the bottom of the screen. If I just install it, it replaces the default one in the top right corner.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
Yeah ... its supposed to do that ... ;)

to get the page indicators to the bottom, you have to install the no-flip/flat clock version (which will of course alter the homescreen completly) or edit the home.mode9 file manually and change the values of the indicators (you can get the right values from the flat-clock version).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] PlayStation:
Hi Chalid

I very much love your homescreen alignment mod. It makes the HD2 homescreen look very cute. But I got a small issue with the side by side classic view. When the weather description is more than one line, the second line of the weather description and the location overlap. This is when the weather condition read for example:-

"Partly Sunny with

Thunder Showers"

Thus the the second line "Thunder Showers" and the Location overlap.

I wonder whether the Location can be lowered further down the screen to avoid the overlap or maybe the location comes on top. Please look into it. Otherwise its perfetc mod..... ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] lukem:
any chance to have clock background extended behind the meteo?

I mean, the normal background, so that meteo color does not create problems matching with wallpaper (example: white on white)...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gheagz07:
I agree to this also, but I prefer the city location to be on top of the weather description. And lowering the weather icon as well. I do hope this is possible.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Alx0363:
Hi mate, test the circle indicators but i prefer go back to line....

Uninstall cab and both (circle and line ) disappear.

There isn't a cab to return to line without reinstall all cookie home tab?

Thanks

work on VGA?

Will this mod work on a VGA screen (Fuze)?

Incredible mod.

My long-time hope is to have the first row of Quick Links visible on the home screen without having to scroll up. This mod would provide the added real estate, but is it possible?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] drjim:
Just installed on my Fuze. Very sporty!

One problem. The Call History and Calendar areas are white background with white text.

See pics below.

Just installed hometab 1.7.0.0 and already missing the weather and clock side by side! Any idea when an updated version will be available? :)

I installed Co0kie 1.7 forgetting that I had installed this mod. Now my clock/weather has extra overlapped info. Is there any way to fix this other then hard reset?

Thanks!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Morbyd:
Cookie's HT v.1.7 has this built in!

On the Sense home page, just press menu -> edit home layout. Then press and hold your clock. A next/previous menu pops up and you scroll through your preferred clock/weather layout.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] mustache555:
what is that icon with the 2 screen on the upper right corner?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 71Cuda:
chalid,

Any plans to update your page indicator to work with CHT 1.7? I loved your round page indicators. Even though Cookie now went with a similar concept, except squares, I still like yours better. Yours were brighter and somehow easier to see what page you were on.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] phil-99:
I think, we don´t need an update!?! The new 1.7 includes the options to change the homescreen. You can have a small clock, more appointments and so on.

greetings

phil
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
Well, an update for the side by side arrangement is not needed anymore. I might publish the oldschool layout and the round page indicators though. Not sure yet. Needs some more polishing ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ericman77:
Any way to use this without changing the clock? i love the original clock. besides when i tryd this last time it made my clock look like the begining of starwars lol.very cool app tho.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] n11:
Hello chalid--

I'm hoping you can help with an un-installation issue now that CHT 1.7.1 has been released. I've found that I can't remove cmE CHT page indicator 1.6.1.cab now that I've installed CHT 1.7.1.

It seems like the two programs are tightly intertwined (and perhaps I should have removed your CAB before the new installation of CHT). I'll be happy to provide more details but I'm hoping you know the answer without my doing a detailed write-up.

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] chalid:
Just uninstall my mod and answer with "yes" when asked to remove it from the list.

Then go to the windows directory and delete "3b06b4a0_manila" file. It's repsonsible for the weather alignment and will be restored from the ROM after a softreset. So softreset your phone and install CHT 1.7.1 afterwards. Softreset again and everything should be as its supposed to. :)

If not, just try installing CHT 1.7.1 again.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] n11:
Thanks for the answer. My question relates to 'Circle page indicators only' (cmE CHT page indicator 1.6.1.cab). Your answer seems to relate to the side-by-side mod. Is there a different file that I should remove when I follow your procedure.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] fisha21:
It would be great if you could release an update for the round page indicators for CHT 1.7.1 - for some reason, the circles just look so much better than the squares or lines!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Papuchar:
i absolutely agree! please make the round page indicators, they look great on the screen :D:D:D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] gtb5:
Hi it works fine but can't find the cookies setting icon to set schedule to look ahead more than 7 days.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] 71Cuda:
I will 3rd or 4th this - even after I 1st-ed it.

I came back here looking to see if you ever updated the page indicators only. I like the circles better than the squares in the current CHT releases. It's not so much the shape, but for some reason they're easier to see - maybe something to do with the colors or contrast. With Cookie's squares, I see the highlight, but I can't really see the black boxes - which makes having the indicator pretty useless. With your circles, I always found it easy to see.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
I don't know how useful this will be, since many of the devs have probably gleefully pounced on the 2.1 leak (and can't roll back now to Cupcake), but...

The OTA update process (1.16.605.1 -> 1.17.605.1) is completely different than the RUU/HBOOT methods... it actually boots into android and performs file-by-file binary patching on all sorts of stuff as well as installing new files and other miscellany - controlled by an "update-script" (not a shell script, but quite readable).

The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").

If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:

Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone

$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt

This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:

W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!

Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner, for instance, for the Eris 1.17.605.1 OTA, the complete url is:

https://android.clients.google.com/updates/partner/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip

Note: because the 2.1 release is so vastly different than the 1.5 release, an OTA (if that's the way VZW/HTC rolls it out) for that will probably be very different than a patch release like this example ... but it would still be very useful for anyone who gets notice of an update to capture the URL using the "logcat" method shown above. There might be "interesting" tools included that could be exploited.

I don't think this will help get an "early OTA" - I'm not sure that hboot/fastboot methods can make use of an "update.zip" with an unrooted phone. Someone can correct me if I am wrong about that.

[Droid Eris Android Development] pharaohmd:
Can someone tell me if this has been captured? I just received a replacement device with 1.5 and am prompted to install the OTA. I am about to root and can capture if needed.

Please let me know as soon as you can. I will probably "play" with 1.5 root for a little bit.

[Droid Eris Android Development] iornslave:
can sombody do this with the Update that just started pushing tonight?
[Droid Eris Android Development] thenestor:
Since so many of the XDA members are rooted, we're going to have to count on one of the "leakers" to capture it. We've confirmed (on android forums dot com) that it's coming to those on leak v3, which makes sense since that's up-to-date with the RUU and OTA.
[Droid Eris Android Development] hallstevenson:
No one has captured this yet ? Hoping that whatever "fix" or "fixes" are in this update can be applied to our rooted phones.
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
I'm sort of wondering if VZW had some customer problems with it and pulled the plug on it. In the past, there have been claims that VZW starts the rollout in very small groups - several hundred at a time - and then ramp it up if they don't see complaints coming in from their customer support channels.

Sure does seem like there's very little chatter about it.

I've got my phone running OTA-2.1 to try and intercept it, and I also hacked a custom recovery that doesn't automatically erase files in /cache (basically, a recovery boot that doesn't run /sbin/recovery at all). That way I can just pull it out of /cache as soon as it is downloaded via OTA.

Nevertheless - to anybody reading this - please post up the URL to the zip file download if you capture it.

I agree I have been hoping someone would have posted it considering that several have claimed to have received it. Oh well, hopefully soon.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Stonent:
Maybe all the people who are "smart" enough to do this are already rooted? :confused:
[Droid Eris Android Development] bftb0:
Nothing about root prevents you from running a copy of OTA2.1 for a couple of days in order to capture the URL; that's what Nandroid backups are good for. S'pose you could run Plain Jane or Ivanmmj's Official and add back in the updater apps & certs if you really needed root in the meantime.

OTOH, it's been mighty quiet the past few days; I'm starting to wonder if there was a problem with the new OTA, and VZW pulled the plug on it.

[Windows Mobile Software Development] nispio:
I am trying to add an extension to the context menu of the File Explorer. I know how to do this in desktop windows, but it doesn't work in Windows Mobile. This is what it looks like for destktop windows:

RegistryKey key = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("*");
RegistryKey shellKey = key.CreateSubKey("Shell");
RegistryKey emacsKey = shellKey.CreateSubKey("emacs");
emacsKey.SetValue(null, "Edit with emacs");
RegistryKey commandKey = emacsKey.CreateSubKey("Command");
commandKey.SetValue(null, "c:\\emacs\\bin\\emacs.exe %1");

I tried the same thing on WM6.5.3, only I switched the call to emacs for "pword.exe %1". No additional items showed up in my context menu. I decided to ditch the "*" and try to add a context menu for a specific file type first. My next attempt looked like this:

RegistryKey extensionKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey(".csv");
extensionKey.SetValue(null, "csvfile");

RegistryKey csvfileKey = Registry.ClassesRoot.CreateSubKey("csvfile");
RegistryKey shellKey = csvfileKey.CreateSubKey("Shell");

RegistryKey openKey = shellKey.CreateSubKey("Open");
RegistryKey commandKey = editKey.CreateSubKey("Command");
commandKey.SetValue(null, "pword.exe %1");

RegistryKey editKey = shellKey.CreateSubKey("EditFile");
editKey.SetValue(null, "Edit This File");
RegistryKey commandKey = editKey.CreateSubKey("Command");
commandKey.SetValue(null, "pword.exe %1");

Which creates an (abbreviated) registry tree like this:

[-] HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
[-] .csv = csvfile
[-] csvfile
[-] Shell
[-] Open
[-] Command = "pword.exe %1"
[-] EditFile = "Edit This File"
[-] Command = "pword.exe %1"

My "Edit This File" option still does not show up in the context menu when I right click on a .csv file, but if I left click on it, it opens up in Pocket Word, as expected.

There must be some way to do this. I just don't know why it can't match the way it works in desktop windows. I guess I have two questions:

1. Is it possible to add context-menu items in File Explorer through the registry?

2. If so, can I extend it to files of all types? ( "*" )

I am using C# right now, but if there is an easier solution in C/C++ I'm open to it. Thanks in advance for any tips.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aho77:
I'm trying the same thing and I also have no solution for this.

But i found a code sample from Microsoft, it's called CTXMenu and is included in the Windows Mobile 6.5.3 DTK.

It demonstrates how to implement a context menu extension handler.

The application extends the File Explorer context menu that appears when you tap and hold a file.

Unfortunately it's coded in C++ and I'm not so familiar with C++, so I can't help you with your problem.

But if this code sample is useful for you, I would appreciate it if you could tell me how you managed it to get this work.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] qery:
I had similar problem these days. After about 2 days of googleing and editing and trying (with my minimal c++ knowledge) I succeded to create menu item which started my application with filename parameter. Of course I used the CTXMenu example and some other examples too.

As far as I know (and tried) there is not other way than extension to file manager.

Good thing is you can create menu item for all filles ("*").
