Hello,

I am real beginner with this smartphone, I had one from IT people at work as a standard mobile. It's a HTC HD2 and it was equipped with some version of Cookie Home Tab, which I thought was integrant part of the phone, WOW!

Then, last week, just after 2-3 days of me playing with the phone, as the connection with vodafone (DE) wasn't working, the IT guys fixed the problem, with a hard reset and by installing (he said) an update of WM.... and since then, I saw disappeared every chance to customise the device. And I thought that the IT guy just downdated the phone!

Only browsing the net I realized that the nice things I had seen was only merit of CHT!

But then, I tried to install every version from 1.6 to 2.0 and it's not working anymore, the clock disappears, the Home screen is stuck, the Menu doesn't work, and the only I can do is unistall CHT to have the Sense back.

Thisi is very disappointing, as the phone, raw from the factory, is not anymore so attractive to me!

WHAT CAN I DOOOOOO?

Any help?

What numbers (Manila/WM/bla bla versions) do you need to diagnose the problem?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manimal666:
I am considering the same.

I upgraded to 2.0 and have been increasingly frustrated by it. The UI becomes sluggish, appointments and tasks dont update (even using the update free link) and eventually the screen freezes resulting in removal of my battery to reset my phone more and more (once or twice a day on average). I have appreciated all the work done on CHT and have followed it since the start but i feel this project is being pulled in too many directions trying to cater for too many devices etc.

Every credit to the team and hopefully a big new bug fix version is on its way that makes this usable again for me.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yogya:
You are a wise guy!

I think I did a right flash, but who knows, maybe I didn't...

I posted in BSB's Htcmania's forum, and I got no asnwer yet ( I just have requoted it suffering from patience!)... So I should be patient and wait... After all, I still can live without it, right?

Regarding the BSB's tweaks rotation, you know what I mean, but if I don't mistake, BSB 6.1 was self rotating without any extra setting ( just after being flashed) and this BSB7 (at least mine) was not rotating after flashing... I had to set it by myself in BSB tweaks to make it rotate... Ambum andmusic I made it work properly with that old registry tweak I mentioned...

Maybe everything begins there, right?

Even with this problem, this BSB7 Rom is great and a result of a very hard work of many people...

If I have the time in between, I will reflash it... I already did a Hard reset to try, but maybe it was not enough...

Thanks for the support given!

Ive got a weird problem and need help please!?

HD2

CHT 2.0

CHTEditor

Manilla 2.5.2012

OS Ver 5.2.21869

ROM 1.72.206.3

Radio 2.07.51.22_2

The phone randomly goes into standby mode. Its especially weird because ive noticed when i hover my finger over the top left area of the screen it goes into standby, I dont have to touch the screen for it to happen.

Ive turned off the CHT lockscreen and restarted the phone several times. Any ideas what I can do?

...Having done abit more research its the proximity sensor. I can't see any settings to disable it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crypt0r:
Hi,

I have some troubles with this CHT2.0 in landscape mode. When I add the music player it simply doesn't show up. Maybe it is somewhere off screen?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Check your quicklink toggles and lockscreen settings. :)

This is currently a known issue, with no fix as of yet.

I know its not listed in the OP as a known issue, but it is.

The post has just not yet been updated to reflect it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crypt0r:
And there is really no solution? The positions of the widgets must be stored at some place. Are there any files in the registry?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Yes, there are many files in the registry.

But simply adjusting the widgets position is not what is needed I don't believe.

Since it does work on some devices and roms currently.

I will be looking into it to see if I can figure anything out for a temp fix or workaround, but for now, if it doesn't work on your rom, then it doesn't work.

I will see what if anything can be done about it, otherwise you will have to wait on the fix from Co0kie.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pthom366:
Thank you. Just checked the toggles and proximity sensor was on, had no idea with it not being on my hometab.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] theblueflash:
finally got this working on my phone. very helpful programme with lots of features unfortunately a few glitches ive noticed over the past week or so. i cant seem to relate them to anything using the search function so i apologise for repeating them. first. cht lockscreen delay. ive noticed that when changing lockscreen settings and enabling lock, either by pushing 'standby' or sofkeys the phone doesnt actually lock the first time. it does on the second attempt. also when the phone is in standby and you wake it with a hard button press the home screen is displayed before the lock screen and several times have found the phone with numerous links open in my pocket.

problem with manila.exe - everytime i restart sense/restart the device with a softkey quicklink. turn the phone on or change cht editor settings and exit (saving new settings) i get an error message. i have read twitter and peep causing isuues with manila but none of my data sync tabs are on (twitter, facebook,youtube) and i only have facebook in my start menu. none are in my shortcuts either.

anyone help at all? thanks

Hi can I modify the icons in softkey to chf?

how can I do it

sorry for my english
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Guus_:
I switched back to 1.8.5. too.. With S2U2 it's the most stable solution for the HD2. It still got a massive ammount of features. The instability of CHT 2.0 is just crazy, I don't understand what goes wrong; but it is a lot... :confused:

Thanks for everything! (don't understand me wrong, CHT (but then 1.8.5 :) ) IS IMO still the best Sense modification on the planet :D )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Dragonmaster0430:
hey is there anyway to change the type of font?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] johndijkstra:
I'm reverting to a cht 1.8.5 version. The cht 2.0 hangs my phone after a day of use.

Anyone els having the same problem?

tried the energy gtx and energy sencity. also an Artemis version and even a clean htc rom with cht 2,0 same problem with all versions.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] yogya:
OK, at least I am not the only one but seem that I was the first in asking... Fortunately somebody could follow my question and got answer...

We will wait then for this bug to be corrected...

CHT is great, no problem to wait...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] werdna72:
Changing Fonts

Within CHT, no - but search for (for example) KD-Font!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] werdna72:
Sounds to me as though you need to read post #1 of this thread before you do anything else. If your phone had CHT running successfully, it could be you are not installing/using it correctly.

The early posts will also make it clear what basic info is needed before anyone can really help you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Stinkray:
The CHT v2.0.0 works perfectly on my HD2 better off then the v1.8.5 which causes my phone to hang so often.

However I encountered a problem with v2.0.0 on my phone. It seems to drain off the battery energy. My fully charge battery was almost drain off in just half a day even when I'm just keeping the phone on standby. I've since uninstall the CHT and the battery consumption is back to normal.

Appreciate some advice on this.

Cheers!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deviljon:
I'm with you, currently on artemis v45. 1.85 = speed+stability, 2.0 = flexibility. Having problem loading taskbar on top right screen on 2.0, but no issue with 1.85.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Looki75:
CHT is great!!!

It is in human nature to focus on bad things and what goes wrong instead of focusing on positive sides.

So I just wanted to support Co0kie's team in saying that as far as I am concerned, I switched from 1.8.5 to 2.0.0 and I will never go back!

2.0.0 offers so many cool features with up to 7 pages, freelinks, widgets, fancy graphic effects, etc... + at last the lockscreen much much improved from 1.8.5, with several lockscreen pages, unlock upon freelink launch... I definitely uninstalled SU2U. I also tried Spb mobile shell and un-installed it 1 hour later...

And yes, it happened that the phone hanged once or twice BUT this always happened when I was playing like crazy with it! (like frenetically moving from one page to another, trying to beat the 7-pages-switching marathon record while watching the fancy "wobble widgets" feature and trying to make the widgets jump out of the screen).

And yes, the battery drain was more important than usually, but I realized that this was when I was playing with settings and restarting sense and/or the phone to see the result of this or that change...

In short: when you stop playing and start just using your phone, no special hangs, no special battery drain...

Ah oh yes: the lockscreen... ok when you wake up your phone you have the today screen showing for 1/2 a second... do like me: adapt ALL your backgrounds (incl. softkeys and menu bar) to minimize the visual shock AND don't switch off the phone by pressing the hardware button anymore: take the habit to action the "lock" button and the phone will go to standby by itself after few seconds - when you wake it up, lockscreen is already here!!!

Common guys, this piece of software merits $$$. I have been testing a lot of WM softwares and I have seen MANY commercial soft with less quality than CHT2.0.0.

THANKS THANKS THANKS Co0kie and keep the efforts!!!!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BazBaz:
Does anyone know when Cookie is back for some update?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] AndrewLider:
worth waiting for new versions?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thanx for the nice & true words, Looki.

Especially because some "bugs" are simply things, that 3rd-party-Apps interfere with CHT and if then somebody reverts back to 1.8.5, we have no chance to reproduce it - and so no possibility also to fix it.

The other things... it's really not easy - much ROMs, much special-cooked ROMs, much Sense-Versions, much Widgets (and there we know, that some widgets of devs, which are not in CHT-group messes up things, because the widgets overwrites unique names of other widgets), much installed Apps, Skins, and so on.

Sometimes the Baseline of CHTS is a Rescue... sometimes not. Therefore next version of CHTS will also make an "intelligent" Full Sense Backup - so that prevents you before a Hard-Reset. So if even Baseline doesn't help, then the Sense-Backup will help. It will also backup the CHT-Layout at the moment of saving it. And it will kick out some widgets, which are not written unique & clean, out of their CHT-slots.

At the moment the CHT/S-group is testing it - looks fine so far.

It's the only possibility to counteract the other very special issues - because nothing can be bugfree. But so we could find most of them - without any fallback it's hard to reproduce reasons for Sense crashes.

Thanx to all, who helped with their feedbacks to find already some things!

Regards

Micha

EDIT: I discovered the answer by trials and errors and am posting it here in case someone searches for it.

It was indeed simple. The trick is to put a png (128x128 in size!)file in some folder (I drop it to \windows\ folder). Then find the line in registry corresponding to the icon you want to change (i do it by searching in CeRegEditor, it is somewhere in HKLM\software\HTc\Manilla\home\xxx, where xxx stays for the number of particular icon) and change the IconPath property to the desired one. And of course reset.

My problem was the size of png i was making - simple like that.

Now the only problem remained unanswered is how to change the icon of quick link contact - if it is Facebook connected - ? this one is not working yet

Interesting issue - CHT settings export

When I first set up the CHT2.0 I created several exports as I worked through different layouts. I was in the process of updating my ROM to another version and decided I would create another new export in case I had any changes from last month.

As part of my house-cleaning before that, I deleted all the other exports... when I went back to my home tab, the layout had reverted to a VERY EARLY version of the exports. Because I deleted all of the exports I had nothing to fall back on to get it to where I had just had it. :( Grrr.

Has anyone else seen this issue?

For my own future use - if I go through this practice again I will have at least one backed-up back-up location for the settings (grrr again).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcartolano:
Good Job, and don't worry bout that! :) No offense taken.

If I find something about contacts I'll let you know. ;)

I didn't create a new post to not spam the thread!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ai6908:
I think CHT 2.0 is just amazing...I love the addons and widgets, and just the way this program has be thought, and laid out. Awesome work by everyone in the CHT team.

Hey! Sorry! Your reply somehow skipped my memory when i was writing this. Finding out that 2 similar request in other relevant threads were ignored and being glad that i figured it out myself i ended up mistakingly writing those words here (where i WAS replied indeed!) for which i feel ashamed now... :o With your permission I will edit them now...

One more time - thanks for your reply.

I do not believe there is one thread with a list of all the widgets available for CHT v2.0. Not a bad idea though. These are 3 links that a quick Google search for CHT Widgets pulled up. I'm sure there are more out there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TXORONGO:
Hello.

First, CONGRATULATIONS, excellent work.

Secondly, sorry for my english is not very good.

Now comes my question:

I cooked the Cookie's Home Tab CHTE 2.0 and 2.0. and work great, but ..... when put shortcuts, not all leave me with the icons I want. Attachment 2 screenshots ok?. Let's see if someone can help me solve this little problem.

Note: I put the same post in the forum of CHTE 2.0 and 2.0 Cookie's Home Tab. If necessary they can clear the they want.

Thanks

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hola.

En primer lugar, ENHORABUENA, un trabajo excelente.

En segundo lugar, perdonad por mi inglés, no es muy bueno.

Ahora viene mi pregunta:

He cocinado el Cookie's Home Tab 2.0 y el CHTE 2.0. y funcionan de maravilla, pero..... a la hora de poner accesos directos, no todos me salen con los iconos que quiero. Adjunto 2 pantallazos ok?. A ver si alguien me puede ayudar a solucionar este pequeño problema.

Nota: He puesto el mismo post en el foro del CHTE 2.0 y del Cookie's Home Tab 2.0. Si es necesario pueden borrar el que quieran.

Gracias
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcartolano:
Hello.

Take a look at this and this.

I always follow the step in the first link to change icons, but I also gave you the second one cause it was recently reported, never tried it though.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TXORONGO:
The first link it's OK to me.

Thanks. GREAT.

EDIT: not works

I'm try to cook but... the same problem. Some idea more???

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rcartolano:
Let's see if I understood your problem correctly. You have some Apps in your start menu with custom icons (probably set by the Chief of your ROM) which when you set them as a quicklinks CHT displays their default icon. Right?

Since you tried my first suggestion with no results, I will give u some manual steps:

Take a look at:

HKLM/Security/Shell/StartInfo/Start/*

* = subfolder, like Multimedia, Utilidades (based on your screenshots)

Inside them you will find some folders with the shortcut name and some keys inside it.

Find the path of PNG files that are being used as icons, they are stored in "ICON" key.

Take a note of each path (you can export your registry to make things easier).

Delete the folders that are not being displayed correctly.

Delete the quicklinks in CHT.

Soft reset.

Use the JWMD Icon Changer to assign the icons again (now you have to remember the path of the PNG files)

Soft reset again.

Insert quick links into CHT.

If this steps don't work, try using another PNG file (you can chose one from an icon that is working for you). I always use 256x256 pixels.

I don't know if this incompatibility exists, but this is the last try... :D

If you were succeeded after changing the image file, try converting the desired image to a most suitable format and size.

This is all I have! Hope you can get to what you want.

This steps teach you how to change the Icon from a shortcut in Start Menu. After doing this and inserting the quicklink to CHT, it always worked for me. I think CHT retrieves that information before creating the quicklink.

The second link that I showed you in my previous post leads you to the keys of CHT menu, which will allow you to change the icon from CHT but not change from start menu...

As I told you, I never tried that approach, but I think it will also work.

EDITED

One more thing that I remembered.

Open JMWD Icon Changer, go to Tools and select Clear Sense Cache. Then restart device.

hi, thank u so much for this awesome widget. but i have 2 questions here.

how can i increase the size of my rssreader widget? i.e. the number of lines visible.i cant see any option for that.

when i enable weather animation on the lockscreen, can i have it in full screen? there is a space below the lockslider that block the animation.

thx again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TXORONGO:
SOLUTION (for me)

Change the name of picture (and same in the app.reg).

Incredible. I don't understand.

CHT translation with roman numbers in month (date part). How ??

Hi guys,

I have somewhere seen a screen shot with the date in home screen

where the month numbers were in roman numbers

(you know instead of 3,5,12 it is III,V,XII).

Does anyone of you know how to describe it in translation file ??

The fromat in my language (Polish) manila file looks like this:

<trans-unit id="IDS_DATEFORMAT">

<source>dddd, dd.MM</source>

and my question is what should stand instead of "MM" to get

the roman numbers ??

The dates are showed then in calenadar & tasks.

These marked with red arrows:

Weather Widget

Is there any way to force my chosen city to remain as the default city on the weather widget?:confused:

The widget defaults to MY LOCATION with every reboot of my device. I have been unable to even locate the registry entries that "call" upon MY LOCATION. No matter where I am, its important that I always know the weather in my home town. Can such a code be implemented??:confused:

For information - 2 new features of CHTS 2.16, which can be very interesting for using CHT. This features can be also used standalone, as well as e.g. the Quicklinks for Backlight, NoData,... or CHT 2-Wallpaper-Changer:

Micha, this looks great!! :) I'm thinking that if I go ahead & install the new CHTS....this may actually solve my issue with the Weather Widget. I want this widget to STOP defaulting the MY LOCATION with every reboot of my device. Is there coding in CHTS to make this happen for me??:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
[SOLVED] Weather Widget - Set Location on reset - not Current - Hard code

Have you tried changing the registry entry:

I think if you create a mortscript to update

HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila

WorldClock.LocalIndex to the index that you want.

Then put that it \Windows\StartUp

---

Unzip the attached zip file.

Edit the the last parameter to the index that you want.

Put the mscr into \Windows\StartUp

It will now be at that index on each soft reset.

I just tested it and it worked for me.

edit quick link reveals ghost free links

When I edit quick link, ghost free links will appear. Although the quick links on the grid are in edit mode, the "ghost free links" are not. They are live. They cannot be edited or moved. If I click them, they will launch!

See attached shots, one taken when looking at the quick links, the other after invoking Edit Quick Links.

What are the 6 ghosts? I remember them now. Last month I enabled the CHT lock screen and added these 6 Free Links there. I found that the CHT lock screen is not useful for me (because it cannot lock the hardware keys during phone ring and conversation), so I disabled it. Now the free links are haunting me on the Edit Quick Link page. How do I get rid of them?

In this connection, is there any documentation on the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\Manila\Home​

so that we can edit it directly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] holmanm:
Did you try re-enabling the CHT lockscreen, editing the CHT lockscreen and see if you can delete them if they show up there?

Or try "restore defaults" in the CHTEditor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] baddison:
Thanks alot JVH3!! But this did not work for me. I edited the script you supplied, by changing the index to #2 instead of #3. Wash that correct?? I copied this to my \Windows\StartUp directory.

I also went into the registry and changed the HKCU\Software\HTC\ManilaWorldClock.LocalIndex to #2 instead of #1. Was this also correct??

When I reboot my HD2, it still defaults to MY LOCATION, instead of my hometown.

Did I do something wrong??:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] JVH3:
I am using the compact weather clock widget. Is that the same widget that you are using, or are you using one that just has weather? That might be a difference.

Another thing to check is to make sure that the mscr file is still Unicode after it was editted. If you attach your editted file, I can check that. You will need to either put it in a zip file or add a .txt to it, because the site doesn't let you upload mscr files directly.

You don't need to make the change to the registry, because the script will do that for you on reboot.

2 is the 2nd non My Location city in your list of cities.

0 is the city from the My Location service.

Maybe try changing the value in the script to 1.
