yes i know, but its not about finger friendly... I liked the start menu (programs) for all WM BEFORE WM6.5... the zigzag honeycomb **** pisses me off to no end... straighten that **** out you ****ing staggering *****es (thats a rant to WM but it was placed here to show my desire for something better for my WM6.5 phone, of which the start menu is my ONLY MAJOR issue...)

I also thought the startmenu in WM PRE 6.5 was pointless, there was an add-on that did the favorites thing like is shown with that manila mod (favorites, most used) thus removing the need for a start menu! -IE what the quickmenu provides-

I also have a windows alternative for XP/Vista/7 that basically does basically the same thing!

What kind of widgets do you use ? I run CHT with no new widgets (same exact layout as 1.8.5) and can't say I see a noticeable battery use increase; perhaps some but this could be due to experimenting with CHTS (which I later uninstalled).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alalor:
I am sorry, I am confused, what is the difference between compact menu and quick menu? They look the same, are they different or just two names for the same thing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
On my WM6.1 PDA I used the shortcut opening File Explorer in Program folder (large icons mode) to get sort of finger friendly Start menu, however this needed a Mortscript to terminate it after use.

Currently on the Energy.RHODCDMA.21680.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Sep.29.7 z ROM that was just uploaded. I am trying to add the widgets from the first post and I keep getting the Error that tells me that all of the widget slots are full and that I will have to delete some widgets to add more. Anyone able to tell me how to fix this or is it a ROM issue?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] you 2005:
the same problem with me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stuntdouble:
Just the basic CHT with 4x4 layout over 3 pages and a minimal clock (using the editor). With one other page (main) having a customised layout of icons. No special widgets. I've since re-installed the old CHT and it's back to being fine with the battery. I'll eagerly wait to test any further releases, as the battery drain was just too much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bawaji:
No text titles of quick links

I am using 21679.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.ver2.Sep.26 Energy ROM on my HTC Imagio. I have two issues which I am unable to figure out how to fix. :confused:

1. There are no text labels for the quick links in the level 2 home page. An outline of the background shows up below the icons but there is no text on it. I removed the top four links and reinstalled them but that didn't help. Is there some setting I should be using? I have "Hide Text" under the quick link settings in the editor set to OFF.

2. The two rows of quick links in the level 1 home page are too close to each other to enable existence of the labels below the icons. Is there any way to move the two rows farther apart and have labels show up below the icons?

It is difficult to figure out what some of the icons are from just their images.

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
Interesting.. you and stuntdouble both use Touch HD ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
And you were able to go 4-5 days without recharging on HD ? This is amazing. TouchPro 2 has similar battery specs and I probably wouldn't pull off full 2 days (I am using it for browsing the internet throughout the day, though).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] !SINGH!:
Problem?

Hi co0kie..

Great work.. you most def been keeping yourself busy

I found this issue...

When on main screen... when you flick the quicklinks up.. before.. they would reside happily under the mini clock...

now they overlap.

Can you please advise?

Thanks

One bug I noticed was when I change the phone softkey button to space 1 (farthest left) and swap it with internet, my hardbutton phone key no longer works.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Grouphome1:
I have the same all most the same problem.

Only on my main home page the text isn't showing. I only see the top of 3 quicklink text (only 1 or 2 pixels high)

On the quicklink page the text finally is showing (don't know what I changed but it works now:D)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] DJxtian17:
Bug?

Im using the most current energy rom and just installed this beta and after a softreset my tilt 2 couldn't launch sense it kept trying for 30min and i decided to uninstall the newer cookie home tab, any idea what happened?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
I have a question about the Addons cooking stuff.

How do we cook them? Because there is:

a) a setup.dll

b) CHTlua_manila

c) CHTmode9_manila

and those 2 files does exist in all addons cab files. So with one should I insert into ROM?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lina3003:
good work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Co0kie fantastic job, thanks a lot (My thanks to the whole team as well). I have a question....widgets need to be installed into Device or Storage Card will do as well?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] wez89:
To confirm All the widget addons work for me. Using HTC Topaz, Sense version 2018.4125
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Installing weather addon just caused my Sense to crash, not loading again. Looks like I've got some hard reset ahead... :( Uninstalling the addon didn't fix it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
You didn't read the important notes. You should. They're important :)

WM6.1 requires an additionl cab for the lockscreen to function properly. It's the third cab in the first post attachments.

Press the menu button again or anywhere on the screen.

I plan to make the email widget resizable, but that might be a little hard to pull off, so I can't actually say that it will be.

Sense version? And do you have landscape enabled?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
Wait, what?

You didn't see the latest update in the dev group? 1440x800 wallpapers are available in HQ mode.

The semi-transparent foreground layer is too (in any wall mode).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
Love it, so far very stable. Did see a few things:

1) What are advantages of using the new Soft Keys vs original Manila bar (not sure it's the right name) ? Obviously other than the ability to assign custom commands. To me it looks like something that somewhat duplicates the way the top row of Quick Links works. This is not a criticism, I am just curious as I may be missing the point here. Of course they can be turned off.

2) When I am using the Soft Keys on my Touch Pro 2 (stock Sprint ROM), raising the Manilla bar by clicking on the double arrow icon is a bit sluggish, and for a second a system default wallpaper draws where the bar should be. Don't know if it's a known issue.

3) When Calendar widget is extended down over Quick Links, it hides them. However if a Free Link is placed there, it goes on top. This may be the default behavior ?

Overall, it seems snappier and using less memory than v1 however I don't yet have all pages configured. But a definite improvement over an already great software ! Thank you !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
For the addon widget, the setup.dll does the most import part of the install. Doing it manually is a bit tricky. The easiest thing you could do would be add the cabs to an automated post flash customization.

But if you still want to cook it in this is what needs to be done:

1) Go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\ Create a new string value called: "CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot0". For its value set the install dir of the addon cab you wish to cook in - the are usually "\CHTAddon\%widget_name%" (the install dir in the addon cab isn't actually used as an install destination, but as an unique widget id).

2) Next you'll need manilaHash.exe - you can find it on the forum.

3) Put "\Windows\HTC\Home\CHTWidgetSlot0.mode9" into manilaHash.exe and get the hashed ********_manila files name. Then rename CHTmode9_manila to that name.

4) Put "\Windows\HTC\Home\Scripts\Home\CHTWidgetSlot0.luac" into manilahash, get the manila name and rename CHTlua_manila to that.

Repeat that for any additional widgets you want to cook in, just put in Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, etc.

EDIT:

I forgot to mention: manilahash.exe does not append leading zeros to hashed file names. For example if the name needs to be "008fa12b_manila" - manilahash.exe will output just "8fa12b_manila" without the leading zeros.

The hash code always needs to have 8 digits, so if manilahash.exe gives you something with less than 8, add the missing zeros manually. Otherwise you'll the widget will not be installed properly.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0bmentality:

WHEW i get to keep my kindey!!

I just installed it all from there and started digging.. i guess i missed it.. i got some change coming your way too
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
I can dig this! Thanks for the widget engine. Outstanding work!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
It doesn't matter what you choose at the beginning of the install. All widget files will go into \windows on your device.

Cool, thanks.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
OK, good to know.

What about

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]"CHTI.AddonWidgets.Count"=dword:00000014

? Does it need to be i++;?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] saugbaer:
Screenshots gif

here are a few screenshots as Anigifs :)

wait moments :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZaxXx:
Ahh damn me :) I was sooo looking forward to this so I didn't read anything, just clicked download :D Thanks :D

Works now (I had to reinstall CHT because weather widget somehow messed my Sense), but it didn't before... maybe some bug which requires special conditions or what

2015, I never use landscape, only in games. I must admit that this bug was present in 1.8.5 too (when trying to switch between quicklinks pages), but it wasn't that much common. It seems to be happening only when animations are turned off.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Co0kieMonster:
No, leave that as it is.

That value just tells the setup.dll (and the CHT startup script) what the maximum widget count is.

(But setting to more than 20 will not end well because the actual limit is in the number of structures in a mode9 file, this is just a service value).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
So the widgets are limited to max 14 by default? OK. Good to know too :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Symondo:
i appear to haverun out of battery playing with this.

Ive a only 1 query tho...

ive lost my original icons from my ROM which i liked - can i just reinstall an icon pack over these?

Really liking the new softkey bar - i thought the bar on 6.5.3 looked clumsy. Seriously impressed with this and also the flexibility of CHT Editor, i dont think ive a use for CHTS though so i'll leave this alone for now
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J-Hop2o6:
try deleting your application data folder in either your microSD (mainly) or internal storage.. root of either.. now try again.. sometimes i use cleanRAM to force Sense to start if it gets stuck.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Agentz919:
Any Idea on a fix for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Please have a look in your registry for these entries:

CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot0

CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot1

CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot2

CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot3

etc,....

How many do you see and is there entries for each one already?

These should be empty until you've installed some widgets to populate the slots.

CHT 2.0, will support up to 20 Widgets, so there should still be plenty of available slots left.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
How do I disable the bottom menu? I looked through CHT Editor and the settings but I couldn't find it (or I could be blind)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Agentz919:
I have been searching for those in registry but I can not find them. Can you tell me where they should be located please?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Sian:
Hi, do you know how to amend the background (the black colour rectangular bar) for the softkey?

By the way, what are the manila file for?　Can I just amend the png file instead? Say, if I wanna create my own icon?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Conpa18Dani:
reserve for tomorrow!

can anyone do a quick recount of the bugs this beta version has, i think i might as well just wait for the original and finished CHT 2.0 :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gooser711:
They aren't there in NRG'z ROM. That's probably the issue, I tried creating a new string value and retried installing an add-on with no luck. I wonder what type of value these are? DWord, String, Binary, etc, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
They are String values that populate when Widgets are added on.

My suggestion at the moment, is to try installing CHT 2.0 cab on top of your cooked in version.

Since it sounds it may not have been cooked in correctly.

It should then create the missing entries needed and hopefully sort your issue.

But I can't be entirely sure that it will.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Gooser711:
Just reporting in that your advice worked perfectly, thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Glad to hear it. Thanks for reporting back.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ivwonka:
this is still working great for me and I'm still finding new things it can do. thank you again! some reported that they couldnt answer calls and i just experienced this. though i think it may be more related to too long between soft resets and low free ram. the tp2 has probs with that on these newer sys and manila versions that are meant for a phone with better specs.

i have a request for integration or addon. i would like a feature like launcherpro for android. u can hold a button and see mini pics of all your home pages so u can easily switch between them.

i have this set up similar to android. only 2 layers (1 is quicklinks) and then i have 5 pages to slide horizontally on. i think it would be awesome to have the launcherpro (or is it called launcher plus?) functionality to jump to pages instead of having to swipe 4 times. anybody else feeling me?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dzeen:
Co0kieMonster, new CHT is terrific, great job!

i got one question regarding compact flip clock - is it possible to disable automatic flipping when i switch to home tab? each time i switch back to home tab, the clock flips one hour and two minutes, and this causes slight lags on my HD.

thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nagagaya:
hi

cht 2.0 it is a wonderful tool for htc hd2. but schedule task is not working properly by automatic mode. any demo is available it will be great

thanks in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] nagagaya:
hi

time showing in digitial clock and anlog clock is different. possible to fix it

advance thanks

in cht schedular automatic mode is not working properly. time schedule it not changing the settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neo84:
Great to see how every version is taking a huge leap forward. Thumbs up!

Is there any chance that cht lockscreen will support pin code one day?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Yes, check your Widget/Clock settings in CHTEditor.

You can disable the clock flipping, both the one hour and the two minutes.

Yes, the clocks can be set up to display times from two time zones at once.

You should also check your clock settings in CHTEditor, to see if you have it set to another location.

It goes by numbered locations on your weather tab/My Location settings.

All CHTScheduler questions, should go in the CHTS thread, to keep bugs and info easier to track, so that something isn't missed when revisions are being made.

Thanks. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tripio:
Thank you for replying. :) I backed up the phone with SPB backup and plan to install CHT 2.0 in a few minutes. If something goes wrong, maybe restored backup will save me from potential hard reset. ;)

I will post my experience with CHT 2.0 later on. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paryav:
Co0kieMonster.

I read few posts and found bag's.

Your function button's may be using overlay function.

In this situation not correctly work with other program using overlay redraw function. For example PocketShield, Indibar, FdcSoft taskmanager(CPU Load module).

Some strange if i trying reload manila in this way:

#Check if Manila TF3D process exist and stop it

If(ProcExists("manila.exe")=TRUE)

TF3D_Present = TRUE

Registro01 = RegKeyExists( "HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense")

Registro02 = RegKeyExists( "HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFlo 3D")

If (Registro01 = TRUE)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense","Enabled","00000000")

EndIf

If (Registro02 = TRUE)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFlo 3D","Enabled","00000000")

EndIf

EndIf

Sleep(1000)

Show("Desktop")

StatusMessage("Stopping HTCSense...",ST_LIST,TRUE)

WriteStatusHistory("restartsense.log", False)

RedrawToday

While (ProcExists("manila.exe")=TRUE)

Sleep (1000)

EndWhile

StatusMessageAppend(" OK")

WriteStatusHistory("restartsense.log", False)

#restart manila

If((ProcExists("manila.exe")=FALSE) AND (TF3D_Present = TRUE) )

If (Registro01 = TRUE)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\HTC Sense","Enabled","00000001")

EndIf

If (Registro02 = TRUE)

RegWriteDWord("HKLM","\Software\Microsoft\Today\Items\TouchFlo 3D","Enabled","00000001")

EndIf

Sleep(500)

Show("Desktop")

Sleep(500)

StatusMessage("Starting HTCSense...",ST_LIST,TRUE)

WriteStatusHistory("restartsense.log", False)

RedrawToday

EndIf

Device hangs if function button enable and work correctly if disable.

Two bags is i can't see text on shortcut's :)

I am using chainfire Turbo 3d on TouchHD.

thanks a lot!

don't forget to save Baseline with CHTS after Install, too. then you can try the widgets or different skins afterwards without being afraid, that something mess up your Sense.

Qucklinkrow w.o. font measurement plz

Hello,

I would like to report two bugs, I had so far.

- regardless of chosen settings for quicklink Icon-Text, even if completely switched of: I can not pull the quicklinkrow to the border of the tabstrip, since it seems to measure quicklinkrow+icontextheight _regardless of settings_. This leaves a fairly huge space between the quicklinks and the tabslider, which I can not afford :). In 1.8.5 I could pull it down as far as I wished.

- the next bug I'm pretty sure is posted several times, however, I did not find it (perhaps used wrong search phrase, dunno). I cant get the quicklinkbar into a state, where it reliably stays on screen. That means, coming out of sleep-mode, the formerly existing row has vanished. Sometimes I find it on another page, s.t. not even there. If I then swype up, to get the full panel of quick links and swype back down again, the row is there, till the next sleep occasion :).

It did _not_ help, to assign everything to the first page, as mentioned in some other forums. I also checked some settings I'm not completely familiar with right now. One seems to mention a 'fade out' (I have to translate) of the quicklinkbar. I even set this setting to off to no avail.

thx for listening. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Ok, there are solutions for your issues.

I will try and describe them in the best way I can, so that you can correct these issues you are having.

Now, it sounds as if you have set your quicklinks to be Independent, and either not pinned at all, or not pinned on all levels.

This would be the cause of the disappearing quicklinks.

There is also a link in the first post for a similar issue, though I believe it to be a seperate thing.

So, setting the quicklinks to Independent+Pinned, on all levels that quicklinks appear on, should remedy that.

Now, for those who have quicklink alignment issues and/or disappearing text.

Make sure you have set the number of rows you would like, in CHTEditor, under Quicklink Settings.

Then, from the home tab, tap the menu key, and enter "Edit HomeTab"

From Edit Mode, Tap and hold the quicklinks, and choose previous or next, until the proper amount of quicklink lines are visible(must be the same as set in Editor.

If you set a larger number of rows in the Editor, such as 6, and only set 5 on the Home Tab while editing, you will lose your quicklink text, for any icons that you rearrange in Edit Quicklink Mode.

So, in short, set both the Editor and the actual quicklinks to the same number of rows and all should be well.:)

Once you have corrected this setting, you can remove and readd any quicklinks that are still missing their text and it should reappear.

Hope that was clear enough and helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tripio:
Thank you again. I will keep that in mind. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Guys i have a small problem and i need your help on this. I'm using CHT 2.0 and i have the Tasks widget using SenseTasks 1.1. up until yesterday then Long press popup on the task was giving me the option for Complete or Delete. Today it's not working any more. I tried to re-install CHT and SenseTasks but nothing happened.

On CHTE Widgets Setup-> application and Tasks -> Long Press Popup the option is ON

Can you please tell me which registry flag this is affecting to see why it's not working? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reibe:
I have the same issue.

Furthermore in the weather tab the note of the last update time is in english now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
@stahis95194, Please check to see that this reg. entry is set to 1 HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila/CHT.Tasks.PopUpOnLongPress
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Yeap, it's set to 1 and still refusing to work. Have in mind that everything else regarding SenseTasks and the Tasks widget is working fine (eg. I click on a Task and opens the individual task on SenseTasks). Very strange behaviour. Any ideas santod?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamtide11:
@santod040: thanks for the quick and insightful response.

Your way to solve this actually did the trick for me. However, thats why I comment on this one as well, because I had no ability to pin the quicklinks n the first place! I pinned all other Items on page one, for me the only way, to get almost close to what I wanted, but especially the qucklinks element did not offer me the ability to pin it! I'm using a localized version of the CHT2 and maybe that might be a cause for that. Anyway, right after following your guide, I was given the option to pin the quicklinks and so everything workes fine in this regard now.

Perhaps I misphrased the error a bit, but I try it again :). The problem is not, that the Icontext is _not_ shown. Actually I dont want Icontext. The problem is, that even without any text shown below the icon, I can not pull the quicklink bar in edit mode lower than 'quicklinkrowheight+icontextheight'. That means, there is a fairly large empty gap between the quicklink bar and the tabslider bar, which was not the case in 1.8.5. Any help on this one too? Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Yes, that's one I haven't seen. Strange indeed. I can now suggest only that you remove the widget completely from all levels. Restart Sense, or even the device, then add the Task widget back and see if its corrected.
