Google Search Widget

I love the Search Field in the Internet TAB. Also I managed to change the Search to google.

Now I'm curious if it is possible to have a CHT widget with the same functionality. This means an input field, where I can write some search text and an button that starts google with that text.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
+1 on that. I'm really surprised that no one has done this already. It would be great! Good idea!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
not working yet but keep trying :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
Really no one ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
Ok, now you guys have me confused. I just looked around for a Google Search widget and couldn't not find it. Poyensa, are you saying that you made one, but it's just not functional yet? And mike2nl, are you saying that there is one already made? If so, link please? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SaturnusDJ:
Ah ok. :)

I already have a page of quicklinks that isn't pinned. So that's not a option. I hope free links get a pin option soon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saugbaer:
The idea might take @mike2nl ;) :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
sorry for the confusion sharkie. Only wanted to say that internet search bar is an existing project. Unfortunately the widget is not functional yet but its not abandoned.

I also hope that the announced new CHT version will include some new widgets -like the internet search bar or a calendar widget. I wish them the best success in this project because this will be good for all of us.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
Ok, so I'll be honest... I had unsubscribed from this thread a while back because after every new release it gets way out of hand and it's pointless to keep being notified of every post. I also thought that CHT v2.0 was the end and that Co0kie had moved on. I'm very surprised to hear about a new version coming in the future!! :D This is great news! I guess it's time to re-subscribe to this thread! Sorry for being so behind. :(

Anyway, thanks for the information! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdahunter:
Search Widget++

I'm happy to hear about a new version.

But if it's an improvment to have a search widget, why not have multiple ones?

Why not have a search tab inside the CHT tabs. Or just multiple configurable search fields? Every of them could make another search. I. e. Google search, price search, map search, picture search, news search and so on.

Maybe configurable search widgets could support device internally searching too: File search, appointment search, contact search.

(I hope that my additional wishes don't affect the dedication of our developers negatively)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrBeOTP2:
we will have CHT 3.0 :"> hOPE so hehe
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I think you don't have read my post, or have you ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MrBeOTP2:
just joking =]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
And it´s fun to work on this too :D I´m sure you´ll like it as well as many others...

@Mike and all CHT Users, so far, I´ve installed and tested all available widgets...., and to be honest, some I like and find very useful, especially when there is NO REAL WIDGET yet available. Please let´s not forget that the real and actual Sense Widgets are the Sense Tabs - something we all tend to forget kinda easilly. Now we have CHT with a bunch of pages/levels, but is it ment to "replace" the tabs, or simply to make the "Home Tab" more interesting, attractive and usable? It´s up to you all :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pdahunter:
Ok, as I understand widget programming is not CHT development. Where is the thread to wish the search field, that sends something like http://www.google.de/q=test+"test again%22 to the standard browser?

Back to the base. Since the bugfixing is the main goal: Is there allready a fix for the "freelink-changes-icon"-problem? I've some findings about that, detecting what goes wrong in the registry when this problem happens.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Santa-Claus:
Would be interested in a solution too. Deleting freelinks under special conditions causes changing of icons to other freelinks. I hope there is somebody who can analyze and solve the problem together with pdahunter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pigreca:
Wonderful!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Viper420:
okay, so after my phone hiccuped once (not sure why) after uninstall, and re-install CHT + editor is working amazing! its fast, my phone feels great, great work to the makers!!!

one problem i seem to be having is that after i receive a missed call, or finish making a call, the phone (ATT tilt2 (original everything)) goes to the home screen (i have the clock set to compact flip clock with flip/doubleflip of hour/minutes disabled), and the clock will show, but but on its own, will look like i swiped up on the screen, with only the clock disappearing (in a rolling backwards motion). is anyone else having this problem.

another problem is now, sometimes, after i take the phone out from sleep, the task bar disappears, and does not reappear until i hit the start button on the phone, or lock the phone using CHT softkey/startmenu->lock. the task bar will reappear, and acts normal after unlock.

People window not registering favourites

I recently acquired a new phone and I upgraded the ROM to the latest HTC one (HTC Touch Diamond 2) so I could use CHT.

Now in CHT I have a problem with my phone not registering details on the people screen when I add them as a favourite.

As I add a contact it briefly displays the picture chosen for them in the Favourites box, then immediately loses them. If I click on the box again it starts the 'add' process again.

Anyone else experienced this, or know of a work around.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
What exact ROM did you install on your phone? Can you post the version number or file name here? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
Ok, so I was trying to cook the 4 notification freelinks into home level 1 before and they were not setting. It was because for some reason the first time I exported the HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/Home they were set as slots 16, 17,18 and 19. This is how they were set automatically before I saved them. I change them to slots 0, 1, 2 and 3 and now I can cook them in place how I want them.

I also want to cook the 4 notification quicklinks into home level 0. Naturally they seem to cook in slots 12, 13, 14 and 15. I can't get these to stick either. Do you think it's the slot number that is the problem? The registry shows them as being set, but they are not there...

Any thoughts on the issue would be greatly appreciated. :)

PS - When I say 'cook' that is what I mean, but I've also tried just importing a *.reg and also having the edits set via a cab install. All methods lead to the same result of the registry be written correctly, but the free links don't show.

I did take your advice Michael, and remove all spaces and cook ALL of the numbers and I still get the same result.

I've added my last attempt, which also did not work. Maybe someone can have a look see and tell me what is wrong...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
the problem can be also the "jumping", which was not really soluted. it's good, that you cooked in all dummy links.

what I've found by playing with CHTS,that the jumps comes sometimes "invisible" and after Sense restart, the got visible.

So a direct copy of Layout, like you want it, should work, as I know, that CHTS avoids this "jump".

You could also simply save the Layout with all Free-/Quicklinks and Widgets as CHTS-Layout and put this into \Storage Card\_Chtscheduler with Rom-Flash-AfterInstall.

Then you can let load it after winmo-initialization and could provide even different Layouts without changing the ROM-Base.

(In page 6 of chts-thread you find the whitepaper for the infornation)

I will also look, if I find the reason, what's wrong with the settings from you, but I think, this could be instable. Perhaps Mike will see also something while developing cht-update in this part.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
When I was cooking M2D I noticed if I did not start at value 0 and add from there the links did not show up in the programs tab. Also, if I skipped one in the middle the links beyond that did not show up. I decided it was something about M2D reading the registry on initial start after a flash and stopping when it finds a non-set value for a program tab slot. Maybe this is carried over to Sense.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DorkyDev:
I've just got one question or feature request if ya can't do it already...

How can we add two of the same widgets on more than one page... So duplicate widgets feature mainly.

Say for instance as my main home tab set up is:

Large Weather Clock

Notification Icon Row

Tasks and Apointments

4 Quick Links

Small Music Player

But I'd like to add a large music player to an extra page/tab, I can't do that I don't think cause if I try to change it only changes that one widget and I see nothing for allowing it to run in multiple instances...

So say if this option were available you could allow in edit mode to have a hard press widget extra drop down menu, to cut, copy and paste the widgets... Then you could copy it and paste it again somewhere else allowing it to be used more than once.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
Misread post, sorry :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Thats not possible. Same widget can be added in diffetents levels & lockscreen but not into the same level in differents pages.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pewe:
Thanks for coming back on this osiedacz but it's OK now.

I uninstalled CHT, and then I added some contacts to the stock 'People' page (which was originally empty).

When I re-installed CHT, it now works OK.

Has anyone using the analog clocks, have it display am when it should be pm? if I restore my settings it will fix it, is this a common problem? I havent seen it mentioned before...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Great, I'm glad it worked out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pewe:
Yeah - me too.

It's a great app, and along with a couple of others to resolve some minor issues with the stock rom it makes the phone performance and features almost perfect.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
So yes, this was the answer to my problem as well. In order to cook the free links in how I wanted them, I had to adjust my app.reg so that they start at value 0 and continue on in sequential order. Thanks for the tip! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Could you try this fix and report back if it works please?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12302378&postcount=10102

Just copy the manila file from inside the rar to windows folder, accept overwrite and restart Sense.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaolinsoldier:
If I import my CHT settings file it will fix it, then after a while, not sure how long, but with in the day, it will be at am when should be pm. I will try fix and let you know, thank you for pointing me to it.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
you can manually change the time and save a few hours waiting ... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Steve, depends on what you mean that you don´t get rid of everything... If you mean some of the registry settings and files, yes, but that happens with almost all apps after iuninstall. The ones remaining in your system should not have a negative effect on your device though. You could also use a tool for a complete uninstall like SKTools for it and/or manually delete the elements... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] shaolinsoldier:
lol I guess I could have...Well its going on 9 pm now and it appears to have stuck NICE!!! thanks again, I guess I can put this file into sashimi so it will be automatic fix...

EDIT: Ok now its morning and clock says pm instead of am...lol
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hefman:
It should remove just fine. Did you have Sense turned off or restart Sense when it was done uninstalling? Was there an error during the uninstall?

Some people have had problems uninstalling if they did not disable Sense first. You can always try again by reinstalling and uninstalling again (with Sense turned off).

Free Link to an exe or folder

Does anybody know how to Free Link to a .exe or a folder? It seems the only thing I can do is select from the Start Menu directories and I cannot choose a folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I'm not 100% that this is what you are asking but I have created a shortcut to the .exe of choice and placed it into the /windows/start menu directory and was able to choose it as a free link. Just a suggestion if you haddn't already done so... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fiveko:
Great Application

One of the few programs that can be installed and removed without any problem. I've tried it on my Touch pro2, WM 6.5. It works flawlessly, a hardly noticeable lag probably due to the slower processor and the SPB Mobile Shell running on the background. Now I have to choose between CHT and SPB, and for more than two years I haven't come across to prog. that matches the Shell, UNTIL NOW. CHT must come as a stock in all HTCs. It is times better than the stock Manila.

Placing anything tou want....

Reach the file you are interested in.

Copy it.

Go to WINDOWS folder, START MENU, PROGRAMS.

Paste the file as a SHORTCUT (so as to save space, of course)

Now you will see it in the list of "programs" to be put wherever you want. :):):):)

Doesn't work on my Diamond II running Win 6.5
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Yeah, some posted that the trick doesn't work for their device in that thread. Heh, figures... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
And if you reorganize the start menu, you trash the Free Links and Quick Links. If you could set the links to point at the .exe, or a shortcut in the .exe directory, and have the links point to that, you could reorganize the Start Menu shortcuts at will without trashing the links.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Right, I've always understood that but that was only a suggestion as a work around; as it does work. Not sure why one would want to move/relocate the shortcut once you have it where you want it. I've even copied the shortcut to a sub-folder of choice and left it there. So yes, as long as you don't continuously reorganize everything under the /windows/start menu directory, then you should be safe. Even still, no one says you have to leave the shortcut under that directory. Just that IF you do move it, be kind enough to re-add the free link. :)

Kind of like the saying "be kind, rewind" for VHS tapes! ( hope that doesn't offend anyone :D )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
I gave your suggestion a try with my Touch Pro2 using the "35#\Windows\fexplore.exe \My Documents\Docs" example. It does show up as a shortcut to a directory, but when tapped on it, it didn't show the contents of the directory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
What happens 100% of the time is the install program puts the shortcut in the Start Menu/Programs directory. In short order, the Start Menu becomes quite a mess. One then realizes, based on the programs acquired, that he could create a category of similar programs. He then creates a category for them and moves the shortcuts files to them. As time goes on, and programs are added, he may have the need to split a category, or may come up with a better idea for Start Menu organization. Because of the aforementioned limitations, most people handle this situation by leaving the Start Menu in the default install mess, and avoid it as much as possible. Thus, there is a common need for this type of functionality.

As far as links to folders is concerned, I wish that I could achieve the same result with my TP2 that the other poster has accomplished with his HD2 as it is not practical to maintain shortcuts to a collection of files that come and go and are often renamed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Hmmm... Why not just make a folder under the start menu directory and before you add the free link, place the shortcut created by the installer, into that sub-folder. Is this too much to ask or are you looking for a more automated solution:confused: If the latter, I haven't the slightest, outside of using XDA_UC to copy over the folder to include the created shortcuts.

I apologize for the excess clutter :o @IT_Architect, feel free to PM should you care to continue idea expansion... :D

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Adding short cuts to files and folders

Hola, after having tried some of the tricks available, a lot of possible workarounds, forcing registry, etc - and I do admit that I have my start menu quite organized with lots of custom folders, one of the most stable solutions for this issue I found it to be with "resco explorer" adding directly a shortcut into my docs folder in start menu... The folder itself has it´s nice custom icon, and the shortcuts to the docs or other folders within all have the resco expolre icon...

So my suggestion is simply to really pay attention to your first setup of your start menu - setting up folders and inks, and thus avoid future problems ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
I'm going to take a stab and say that this doesn't work with NRGZ ROMs unless you additionally install Resco (opposed to TC/Total Commander). This post is merely informational since these ROMs do not include this file exploring program :)

I can create the folder shortcut and it works in TC but not from the actual start menu
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
- I do have Resco Explorer and will try the link to a directory. However, I'm guessing even then, it won't be selectable for a Quick Link or Free Link.

- Concerning the organization of the Start Menu, it appears CHT is limited to links to program shortcuts in the Start Menu/Programs directory tree, and anything moved, will require deleting their links and making new ones.

Thanks all!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Mind you, not totally limited but when you talk about programs(NOT outside of the start menu), additional toggles, bookmarks, notifications and other miscellaneous stuff, then yes! :D ;)

Additionally, it would be interesting if one could set the program directory to \Program Files*.*(or an additional program directory to the \Windows\ directory, perhaps). In such a way so that the start menu could read all the executable files :rolleyes: Probably day dreaming out loud here... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, just to reassure you, on past ROMS (Artemis) and actual (Laurentius 26 Platinum Edition ROMs, especially "trimmed" and "pimped" for CHT but not cooked in :D ) on my HD2 and CHT 2.0 the "resco explorer" workaround setting shortcuts to files AND folders worked and is still working. AND you can also choose this quicklinks within CHT for quick and free links when selecting from programs. You´ll see the corresponding resco explorer icon with the name of the file/folder that you set it before with resco. Procedure for this: Open Resco Explorer, navigate to the file or folder of your choice, then menu - send to - "Start Menu as Shortcut" (for folders (or and also for files to paste shortcut within a "set" folder in start menu - tab and hold on foldername or filename so pup up menu displays, the file - copy and afterwards navigate to windows/start menu and nenu - edit - "paste shortcut"....)

This way you can set a (quick/free) link with CHT for this folders and files.

Please remember that for files within a custom folder to work properly with CHT and be selectable as links (from programs) the folders NEED TO BEE PROPERLY REGISTERED IN REGISTRY, but the "accesible" Folder (new quicklink) DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REGISTERED PROPERLY IN REGISTRY otherwise you will not be able to set the link :D;):)

Just check and see if you can set a link to the "available" folders... Nope, but if you add one with RESCO, yes :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
That's helpful.

Thanks!

You´re welcome. Hope it helps and works. If not, please feel free to comment :)

Btw, sorry I did not mention this earlier, but I was unable to edit my post fast enough before your quote...

42#"\Windows\fexplore.exe" \My Documents\Docs

works in my Fuze. Notice the placement of the quotes " around the exe file and path only. This opens the standard file explorer to the folder.

FolderView is another way to see the folders instead of in file explorer

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] R^7Z:
Verry interesting! I was not aware that there were any quotes needed (per the linked thread). I will definitly give this a once over to see if it works. To also make sure I am understanding this correctly. Does the number in front of the # sign correspond to the number of characters minus the "\" or including?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
The count of all characters including blank spaces after the # symbol is what I understand, but I have made it larger without problems.
