hey my friend,

you will laugh, but I would say: Notepad on PC

you have an .inf-file for your cab. just take the [sourcediskfiles] section out , there is something like “blabla.png“=1 inside

so replace at first the

“=1

with e.g. $

then you have a unique sign for second replace later.

then replace the front

“

with that before the attributes and numerate it like file1, file2

and then the $ with then things behind the attribute

for header, startdefinitionwords, just copy the example xml.

in whitepaper for theme/widget-creators and rom-cooks the look-of-xml-things are described.

the filenames, which are already in basic-xml of CHT, I would kick 'em out of your theme-xml, then CHTS would save a little bit faster.

so: Notepad (and save it as UNICODE) :)

edit: the old DOS Dir-command can also give you a list of files to edit, if you output it to a txt-file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
sure will this come, I want it, too :)

Thanks Michel for response i am very impressed of CHTS

Question

I have quite a few applications along with CHT on my HD2. My question is if I switch the GUI to SaveMyDay and then want to go back to my original GUI what will I press to get me back while in SaveMyDay. I ask this because Im worried I will lose the hard work into personalizing my original. If I switch to SaveMyDay does it save so when I go back ill have everything the way it was. :confused:

@Michel:

you see, the users are very smart ;). They ask for things that are discussed also in dev. I feel that as a very good sign. Thank you to the users here.

CHT Video

Would you mind posting a video on CHT it would be great to see the difference between this version and the previous one.

Thank you.

Great value addition to my HD2.

Thanks a lot....

Hi Michel,

just to support you, I like this power saving scheduler!!

But how can I get rid of this vibrating when it switches to another profile .... :)

I woke up this morning due to wrong profile setting s :(((

and one more question ...

If my HD2 is in cradle and connected via activsync it switches this connection of, makes the profile change and connects again ....

is this neccessary?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
no, that's not necessary and it shouldn't. it wouldn't be good, if that happens, because I debug via ActiveSync (and also MobileDevice Center in Win7), so it would kick me out. isn't it a simple resynchronisation?

there are some ActiveSync-Settings - perhaps you have something in your ActiveSync wrong configured (can also be done by ROM), that it appears to reconnect? CHTS definitely doesn't reconnect AS.

please look especially in your suspend settings, while your are on AC.my backlight stays on in cradle, yours, too? have you tried full power, too?

for vibration - haven't I write it to manual? - then sorry:

the basic settings are set, that CHTS vibrates everytime, when it's doing something. so you know, it's really no battery drain because of repeated running in short times. you can believe me, some other profilers would vibrate the whole day :)

I will make it shorter it next versions.

but nevertheless: there are 3 vibration options in Settings. set this vibration to 0 times, which you don't want.

@Mike:

yes, you are right... and the users, too :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
(in CHTS .cab), means that it is in the application already.

Just set it from the menu. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thanx,

I will check it or think about using an other BT stack as option.

For option to make whereelse a difference for visibility and hidden - whatever could be done - we would need 4 options...so it's anyway needing 2 toggles :) I will look for it or at least for a better translation.

Thank you very much for this input!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thank you - that are very helpful informations. I will try to reproduce it and look, what can be done. I think because of the things you told me, I have perhaps also a chance to improve it, even I can't reproduce it.

Your suspend timeouts are ok...but sometimes a ROM changes them e.g. while Lock-Event, too.

Could you do me a favour and also make a chtstate logging over night with this wallpaper settings?

Thank you again!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jnnnnj520:
Thank you very much

You let me find it

Again, thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi Dimi,

thx 4 feedback.

Do you mention something? :)

In your 1) you wish extended features (which are really not easy to be made user-friendly in surface/UI - but with some thinking they will) and in 3) you say, that there are too much options/features :)

That's the point: We are all individuals and use something like a Scheduler very individually so. So some features what some users consider as useless is very important for other users.

I can really imagine, that some are overwhelmed by the features - but only the first day.If you see the basic principles how it works, you see that all sections are implemented straight-forward.

The parts of the "swiss-knife" can be explored with quick manual. So it should be easier to get familiar.

What I want to say: I can really understand you - but I also hope, that you understand me :)

I have much user wishes - and I try to do my best, to find a solution to make it user-friendly. The CHTS-Beta-Team is there a great support to achieve it - but there are also always needed compromises.

But now to your suggestions:

1) Event-Handling is already planned. At first Location events (which doesn't help you in your car, I assume :) ) and then the other events. Therefore also the extension with the special profiles 1-9 as preparation.

2) Make a suggestion, how :) Have you also mentioned, that you can make all profiles invisible in 2.16, which you don't use? that helps much for the overview.

The order is because of priority - and this is fixed. that's important for easy2understand. therefire you can make all unused invisible and rename them all, like you personally prefer it

3) I think that I have answered now above as good as possible. Be assure that I have one eye always on user-friendly operating. I try to do my best, even it's not the easiest job to achieve it because if the wishes. But I think it's already quite good becausr of the used SDK for the UI. And I stick to ths CHTS-principles, that also new features are easy to understand, if an user got a bit familiar with the already exisiting features.

The Quicklinks for fast profile switch and to see current profiles and states/switch times in CHT, were also a helpful step to help the users.

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Sure thing, will try to get that CHTState Log uploaded tomorrow.

Another thing I noticed related to this that may help is about the quicklink icon for the walpaper change that shows the time of the next wallpaper change. It's display of the next wallpaper change gets stuck at one time and does not update.

For example, if the auto profile switch from Night to Day is at 9:00AM, and in the Day profile wallpapers are set to cycle every 30min, the quicklink icon for the wallpaper change in the Day profile displays 9:30AM and stays showing 9:30AM all day, it could be 12:00 noon and the icon will still show as next wallpaper change 9:30.

Thanks Micha!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
I´ll be doing that tonight and tomorrow just to make sure... ;)

Muchas gracias for your feedback, support and understanding - I´ll try to reproduce the issues on my device, but I remember these features working very well during my tests prior to release of 2.10 and re-checked for 2.15. ATM I´m checking on "ThemeSwitching", so I´ll "squeeze" in some Walpeper tests again tonight and tomorrow ;)

Hola again, the indicator for wp switch will automatically (should) update after each time the device is suspended, so a wp change programed to circle every 30 minutes will only do that if device is not suspended, BUT the time shown for next change should update too... So, without the settings, my "interpretation" of the above is that a wp change "is beeing set" for 30 minutes after switching to "Day" (or 09:30 - instead of every 30 mins), and therefor the next change is show correct at 09:30, no matter what time of day it actually is at the moment it´s beeing displayed. Could be this, or that in fact, it get´s "stuck" and does not update nor change. I hope to find some time these days to go through your chts settings to see if there might be a conflict within the settings, or at least be able to recommend a solution :o

Previous related message (to get my quoted initial message): http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9919330&postcount=1170

Hi Michel,

I have realized several changes since your reply.

At first, I've made a complete reset (a.k.a Da UnHoly Wipe0ut) of my device because of a non related technical problem (bad ROM for Facebook app) and I've upgraded CHTS version from 2.15 to 2.16 (could not resist :p)

I've also changed my profile configuration and here is what it is done for:

semi-automatic mode, no other profile than Day & Night

Night profile to get off back light auto-adjustment, setting light at very low level (better for my eyes at night or late in the evening) and launching CleanRAM utility

Day profile to get back on back light auto-adjustment, setting light at higher levels and switching network *ON*

and I use the network toggle quicklink to get network OFF whenever I want.

Indeed sometimes I'm still out or at work very late and wanting to stay in touch for a phone call, but still wanting to get the benefit of cleanram and backlight powering down whatever I'm doing at this hour (threshold is at 23:00). All I have to do when I go to sleep is toggling Network OFF.

So, what happened ?

Firstly I've notice that the network toggling ON from Day profile did not work, I had to switch it on with the quicklink toggle.

But I've decided to follow your advices with tweaking general parameters for profile switching (slow the profile switch: 10 seconds -> 20 seconds), "Change in Lock without Layout" was already OFF and I did not change it, "Powering device while switching" has been changed from "Smooth..." to "Regular..." and... and... I've noticed that "Change while Locked" was *OFF*.

Since everytime I've checked my profile change result from Night to Day, I was still sleeping (because of vacations), the device *was locked*.

Then I've toggled it ON.

Now what are the results:

manually toggled Network OFF

manually switched to Night

now I was in Night condition

restarted Sense for more security

restored semi-auto mode

CHTS proposed me to switch now to Day (what I expected)

It was longer, indeed (20 sec), in regular mode, allowed while locked (even if it wasn't while I did this test)

but everything worked

As a conclusion this problem was not a problem but a bad configuration.

BUT the first problem is still here

: while network toggling from profile swich does work, the network toggle quicklink does not change to green (= ON), stays red (= OFF).

If I click it once: it comes green and network does not change (already allowed).

If I click once more, it comes red again and network *IS* disallowed.

You missed my device information, indeed; here it is :

HTC HD2

WM 6.5.1 - system 5.2.21913 (21913.5.0.94)

Manila 2.5.20181527.0

ROM 3.14.406.2 (04666) FRE (latest french stock ROM from HTC website)

Radio 2.15.50.14

Here are again my CHTSSettings.xml
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
Thanks a lot guys. Here is the CHTState logging over night, from more or less where the NIGHT profile starts after midnight to when the DAY profile starts at 9:00am, and then the next profile kicks in at 9:05. Hope this helps!

Carlos.

PS: I also noticed it happens when automatically switching to DAY from other profiles too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] daliGR:
Please investigate

I used to have CHTS display my profile name in the place of Operator Name in Sense, along with the profile icon and CHTS state. Then I decided to remove Profile Name from Sense but that would not disappear! I unistalled CHTS but the profile name

kept displaying in the place of operator name

. I restored my Sense (SPB Backup) backwards, got it to disappear, reinstalled CHTS but now I selected only the profile icon to display. Now profile icon displays ok but refuses to switch upon profile switch! (profile switches fine though but the previous profile icon remains). Can you please investigate if this is a bug?

Quick clarification: The profile icon does not switch on "automatic profiling", i.e. when day profile automatically changes to night. The icon does change on manual switch...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
He mate,

very easy: Go to CHTEditor and set it to your prefered Operator name (leave it empty, if you want the Op-Name of your provider)

Please also make asure, that you made in CHTS "Ignore OP-Name in Layout", so that no Layout switch doesn't change anything for this.

(and Sense Backup is a part of CHTS 2.16, too... and I think it's more specialized for CHT :) )

@All with Feedbacks: I was a little busy (you will see in hour, why :) ) - I will look into it the next days together with the team.

Thanx for the attachments and answers!

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
CHTSLoco is released as Xmas-present for you all, mates!

What? :)

It's an AddOn for CHT & CHTS - which will later also take control for profile switching because of location. For now it's displaying the location in your CHT - you will have fun :)

Downloads are HERE in CHTS-Thread in Post #1 - please don't to forget to update also your CHTS_Links to 0216, if you already installed CHTS.

*Link to CHTSLoco - Thread*

Merry Christmas everybody!

Micha

Keeps getting better and better, thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
thanx, mate :)

@All: if you want to translate it, please also look for the little more words, which also have to be translated for Loco.

atm I only have english and german for Loco, but I think, the other translations will come somewhen, too.

Is Finish finished? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, Spanish is done also, but waiting for confirmation on "cell" (célula, celda, torre, repetidor...) :o:confused::p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
i would say 'repetidor' or 'antena'
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
In this context I would say "antena-GSM" :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Muchas gracias amigos ;) I like "antena" and also "GSM" :o Since both are kinda short and we do have limited "space" to show the words... Had a real hard time with that for CHTS/CHTE also. So what do you think, which one should we use... :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
:D

I'd stick to torre then, its similar to antena but shorter, you already have it in the translated file, and closer to the original celltower :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, I changed "torre" to "Torre-GSM" and upñloaded the new file in Loco-Thread ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
I have a suggestion I'd like to throw in that may be usefull if its not too much of a hazzle to do:

The Timeout feature is one of the most useful for profile change, like for a nap, a car commute, meeting, etc but I find that in terms of user friendliness it takes too many taps to set a timeout for a profile in the Profile Switch GUI.

A posibility is to have a Timeout Switch GIU with its Quicklink, that can use as a template the normal Profile Swicth GUI but it would consist of only of the list of the proifles, and when you simply tap on one of them, a pop up window or drop down menu would appear with the clock so you can set the time, tap OK and thats it!

And then if each profile of the list can rememeber the last set time interval for timeout used on that profile then that would be bonus, since many profiles are usualy used mainly with the same time interval, ex: the car comute to work lasts the same, the naps are usually the same length, meetings, etc. So when the window with the clock opens you don't even have to set the clock most of the time, just press OK. That would be just a total of 3 taps for a timeout switch in most intances!

Also it would very intuitive for new users with its especific quicklink to access, short steps, and with no parallel options for other things to confuse them.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
would it be ok, if I'd make a new quicklink, so that it jumps directly to timeouted mask of switchgui with the last settings of timeouted switch?.

that could good understandable. or would you say, that something above is useful and easy to configure?

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
The problem with the timeout part of the swicthGUI is that you have to press the quicklink, press the timeout box, press to open the clock, the press to validate the clock setting, have the profile selected, then press again to apply the timeout switch.

What you say would be OK, it would take you to the timeout options directly but there is still the problem with the clock, it would be much better if the clock is already opened in that timeout specific mask (instead of having to press on the small clock icon for the large clock to open and then confirm to exit) and the profiles next to it, then that would make things easier. It would require a tap on the quicklink, tap on the profile, tap on the clock, and tap on OK to confirm. And if it remembers the last setting for the clock, then most of the time it would only be 3 taps. If it could remember the time setting used for each profile and when you select the profile, the clock sets itself to the last used time for that profile, even better. BUt if that is to much of a hazzle then you can just have it remember the last time used in any profile.

Another posibility to go about this would be to offer a timeout quicklink for each profile that would automatically swicth to that profile in timeout mode directly with just one tap, and the especific time interval set could be pre-configured in an option inside the profiles settings along with all the other setting of the profile.

Or you could have an option inside settings for CHTS that when activated, when you press on the quicklink for a given profile, instead of swicthing to that profile directly, a pop up window appears where you could tap to confirm to swicth directly or use the clock on that pop up window also to set a time for a timeout and then tap on OK to exit.

There are several ways, I'm just throwing several so that maybe you will find one doable and useful :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
@cmsc:

that's good to know some alternatives and I think, that there can be something done to make it good accessible :) You gave me good ideas - I think by quicklinks it's possible to do it then without any Gui... :)

@ALL:

It's not direct CHTS, it's more CHT, but I can imagine, that I can get so a correlance:

Does somebody of you gets sometimes messages of "cht_wall.exe" ? or also "cht_helper.exe" ?

If yes, please just answer the short questions:

- do you use wallpaper switcher and your wallpapers are on sd-card?

- do you use a 3rd-party-systemconfig tool, e.g. like BsB, AdvancedConfig, HD2tweaks, ... and activated there a power saving mode for SD-Card? (could also be cooked in a custom ROM). If yes: which tool and which settings for SD-Card are activated?

- was your device mostly locked a short time before you saw one of the .exe-error-messages of the CHT apps?

thanx in advance

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WallyGator:
MichelDiamond, did You thought about possibility to change profile based on known/saved/named location (I suppose Yo did, in other case what for is CHTSLoco :) )? In CHTSLoco location could be named and even several BTS-es assigned, so there should be any problem with profile switch after changing locations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Hello,

This is a small crash I have.

It happened because I went in backlight & battery settings. I changed some values,

then

, I change the first setting ; "Manage".

When I exited CHTS & applied -> Crash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Loco is at the moment fun - perhaps with the use, that your phone recognizes your homezone or roaming, if you need this information.

But sure: It's also a proof-of-concept for location based profile switching - so as long the users have a good recognition of their favorite places and Loco is easy-2-use and I get the feedbacks, that it's ok - I can start integrating this locations as event for profile switch.

So: Yes - this is the intention :)

@Chef: thanx for report - I can't see the pic because of my poor data rate, but I hope, I see the .net-details on the screenshots - then I will check it, when I'm @home

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
In my experience CHTSLoco is very easy to use and intuitive, and seems to work great! integrating it with CHTS for profile switching will make CTHS even better, really looking foward to it. There are lots of uses for profile switching by celltower like when you are at work, church, school, home, or even a different country or abroad based on an inclusion or exclusion of a set range of ID's, etc. And being able to back up the saved positions with their towers is also great because if you re-install, hard-reset, etc you don't have to remap the towers again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] WallyGator:
IMHO location-based profile change is more accurate than time based. I.e. You could stay at work longer than usual and why changing profile if You are still at same place? Location-based ant time based switching could be complementary:

if ((time > {hour:minute} AND time < {hour:minute}) OR location == {work})
PROFILE == {work}
else if ()
PROFILE == {}
[...]
endif
