Feature Request for Final Version - Current Settings Screen

Hi Micha, I am really starting to enjoy this program for changing settings. I was wondering if in a future version of CHTS you might be able to add a set of screens that show the current state of the settings. I know that I can go into each profile and see what they will become when I set that profile, but sometimes I modify settings in their original locations and don't know exactly what I have set when I am setting up a new profile.

I am thinking of it operating something like Advanced Config, where when you open the program, you can see what toggles are on or off. Then when you set a new profile, you can decide to copy your current settings as a profile.

Hi and thanks for the replies

When I use chtswitchgui to change to another profile while running an automatic schedule the profile doesnt change.

I have noticed that the icon that displays which profile is currently running, briefly changes then reverts back to the automatic profile.

Perhaps it is a problem with my phone my setup is:

Touch DIamond 2

Energy.TOPAZ.21680.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Sep.29

CHTScheduler_2.02

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
no, not noob - it's a little tricky: the Layouts are saving the whole Home Tab, and so also the chts icons visibility (and chte editor settings). so if you switch to one of the Layout with chts icons visibility, they are back.

Will be changed in next ChtEditor and also in CHTS with an additional option.

btw: you have pm

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi,

not that we are talking about different things:

if you want to switch to another profile,while automatic mode -» use “timeouted“ option

if you want to get to another profile permanently in automatic mode and want to have manually mode, then make a switch without “timeouted“.

or make a “timeouted“ switch and activate “afterwards switch manually to...“, if you want another manually profile after a timeout.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
yes, something like a state view is intended (after first final Release). that's useful.

for power: I must wait 'til release of cht v2 final, so that it can be compared, what must be done also in chts or what is to do in cht for it. but I think it's already better, but not perfect.

also I like the idea of copying a profile - so it's also now on my list to do :)

thanx for this input, really appreciated

Hi to all!

CHTS was completely tested and works fine with 12h/24h Hybrid ROMs.

Michel

I have installed CTHS 2.02 and it seems to work very well. I have twice done a hard reset, restore and then used CHTS to get cookies to a previous setup. Worked great.

A couple of problem I have run into. I have saved a couple of layouts for save my day. If I manually switch between them I encounter a couple of minor problems

1. The taskbar and and softkey bars do not change with the new layout/wallpaper even after several soft resets. The setting in CHTE was correct but it just did not implement the new skins. I had to manually remove the skin file in CHTE and reselect it and soft reset to get it to take.

2. One layout uses the CHT lockscreen and the other does not. As in the issue above the setting is correctly changed in CHTE but does not implement even after a soft reset. I have to manually deselect and reselect and soft reset to get it to change.

Both are minor issues that are easy to get around. Is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

All in all the software works great and saves a lot of time switching between themes. Now I am more likely to play around with various visual modifications since they are so easy to switch between with CHTS.

Thanks for the great addition to a phone that just keeps getting better and better because of the cookies team.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
hi,

thanx for feedback.

no, you are not wrong. taskbar skin and lockscreen would need both a soft reset and so I left it out.

I hope for a solution, that taskbar can be changed without soft reset, but so far not in sight.

The lockscreen would be dangerous, if it would be changed by chts between cht-lock and winmo-lock, if no soft reset would come.

perhaps I will add it with an explicit softreset somewhen. but this can be confusing for some users, so I will think about after the first final.

ok so?

but nevertheless - thx for the wishes, so I kniw, that somebody would like it even with softreset.

perhaps there will be a little other idea for taskbar come from Co0kie, but not in cht v2 final - this will mostly a fix for the beta. I already changed the system parts, so that cht will run nice in that point, but you know the other issues, too.

but we have much more idea then... so we could name it wp8 *lol* but I think the name is copyrighted :) so CHT is still the best name :)

Hello, here i short report of a founded bug:

first quotet in german then translate with funny progamm, sorry my english is very bad:

hatte etwas mit dem CHT 2.x rumgespielt, wegen wollte automatische Profile starten lassen. Was das angeht, soweit klappt das auch, nur wenn ich in einem Profilmodus abweichend der normalen akustischen Töne ,- Virbration und/oder Lautlos einstelle, es wird wirklich so lautlos oder nur virbrierartig, das wenn der Wecker schellen soll, er eben sich nicht bemerkbar mehr macht. Trotz der Option das dieser auch bei Lautlos klingeln soll.

EDIT: --> auch mit der jetzt nachinstallierten Version CHTScheduler_2.02

bleibt dieses Problem bestehen. Leider...

Nur wenn ich manuell NACH dem SChedule- Swap einmal den Ton an und ausschalte ( mit ICON Lautlos aus Direktlink/Schalter), dann klappts auch mit dem Wecker in Lautlosbetrieb, für einen Automatikbetrieb dennoch eine ungeeignete Methode.

Apropro, hab dabei festgestellt, CHT2.x verstellt die voreingestellten Klingeltöne muss also nachgeladen werden ( einmalig)

Meine Frage dazu, spinn ich nun wegen dem Lautlos Wecker oder spinnt CHT 2.x? - vermutlich doch ein BUG in CHTSchedule.

----

There was something messing around with the CHT 2.x, would allow for automatic start profiles. For that matter, so far it works well only if I differ in a profile mode, the normal acoustic sounds - adjusting introduces potential mechanical vibration and / or Silent, it is really silent or only virbration that will ring when the alarm clock, it just is not noticeable more power. Despite the option you want this ring also in Silence.

EDIT: -> with the version now installed via CHTScheduler_2.02

remains the same problem. Sorry ...

Only if I manually AFTER the schedule swap once the sound on and off (with Silent ICON from direct link / switch), then it works well with the alarm clock in Lautlosbetrieb, for automatic operation still an inappropriate method.

By this way, CHT2.x adjusts the preset tones needs to be recharged so (once)

My question, I spin now because of the silent alarm or spins CHT 2.x? - But probably a bug in CHTSchedule.???
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
winmo alarm is sometimes a bug for itself :)

so it's difficult to reproduce, because it's different from ROM to ROM.

But that's a useful information, that a manually volume adjust, helps on your ROM.

but I need chtssettings.xml of your storage card -> _chtscheduler to know your exact settings - and also from which to which profile you saw the volume problem with alarm.

in your language:

gib mir bitte die chtssettings.xml und sag genau, von welchem auf welches Profil Du das Problem hattest.

Der winMo Alarm ist schon immer von ROM zu ROM verschieden zuverlässig gewesen. deahalb kann ich es nicht immer kompensieren, aber Deine Info hilft mir da vielleicht ein bisschen weiter.

Salut

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Oh, haven't forgotten to say thanx for your feedback and glad that CHTS is also for the Orient working :)

I hope the upcoming language support works also with the special signs there good.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Thanks Micha, checked back on CHTS and found the "toggle" switch for it in the options... The more I play with CHTS, the more I like it and see it´s advantages, even for "normal" users. Great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9sun888:
Excuse me for my poor English. This software is a very good software.It is a pity to not support Chinese.I use HTC T8388,I have already used CHT2.0 by repot.CHT2.0 works very fine.But CHTScheduler 2.02 can't switch profile with no display in Automatically mode. Is it support power device for T8388 ? Can you help me? Thank you!:confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9sun888:
I have already translated into chinese.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
chts 2.0x is only english, but in the finals (2.10+) it shall support all languages.

So don't put too much effort in re-engineering and translating. it will come quite soon anyway.

I haven't understood what you meant with “power“

do you mean, that it doesn't work without backlight to switch Layout?

this is possible, because it depends on your ROM and your device winmo's power settings.

Therefore I made different power settings. So you should try it with “very smooth power“ instead.

I will ask you for official chinese translation - but I know that there are differences. will you make “simplified“ or “traditional“ ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9sun888:
In the future we are pleased to see the Chinese version.

Power means energy that is produced by electrical.

My phone is HTC T8388, I found the option "very smooth power", but it looks the same before. Lock screen and off-screen automatically, but when it's the time to change the profile,there is no backlight, also cannot switch to the next profile.I'm wondering wherther" Power Options does not support the T8388".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hi, have you tried the other "power options"? Any changes there?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9sun888:
PS：

With your software in "Automatic mode",if don't turn of the screen,it's switch to the next profile normally. Only on this condation: Lock-screen(there is no display on the screen),then the software cannot switch to the next profile(Only the vibration).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 9sun888:
I have already tried the other "power options". it looks the same before.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
and you have enabled “switch also if locked“ in the settings? ;)

but like recommended: if you switch especially a Layout, it's not good, that it shall switch if locked.

the vibration is the signal, that chts wants to change, but it is locked. and so it shall wait (intended behaviour)

if you unlock device, you should be asked the next half minute for the change.

please attach chtssettings.xml of sd-card, too

Wifi On Standby, Part 2

After running a clean install on my Tilt 2 and watching the reg value for the WIFI always on, I can't figure out where it was set. But you are right, it certainly wasn't CHTS doing it. So all of that work got me playing with the WIFI settings in CHTS. I must be doing something wrong, because I can't seem to get any of the settings for WIFI to work.

I am in the SaveMyDay profile and I have enabled the Change Data Connections. In the permanent data connection controlling section I have clicked all three items to on. When I back out and click Yes to save settings, I am back in sense and the phone vibrates. Which I believe is the phone telling me the changes were applied? After this I turn on my WIFI. I notice right away that my data connection doesn't terminate like it is supposed to. I also find that if i put the phone into standby and take it back out, WIFI has to restart. I have tried this on battery and while plugged in. I even rebooted the phone to see if that lock in the settings. But no.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
So this really did seem to do the trick. So, even though I was running nothing in the scheduler, just backing up layouts, why did the switching power matter? Also, what is each of these powering options really doing. The manual talks about what gets fired up in general terms, but not specifically with each of these settings. Also, how often do they fire up? At every state change on my phone, will it try to "power up" and see if anything needs to be changed? I see that CHTS creates several state notifications in WM, I am guessing windows then decides if it needs to check any of these and if they pass the check, CHTS will fire up in the background and try to do something?

I ask, because I could see the state notifications being created in the registry when I added the options for WIFI in the profile. But when I dis-abled all of them, the state notification didn't go away. So even though I am not using the feature, the phone is still checking for the state and telling CHTS it should check my settings.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Disconnect because of idle data

Another observation I had with the data switching on my Tilt 2, was that if I setup and use the GPRS off if Idle Data option I have other odd things happening with my data connection. First off, I am running Energy.RHODIUM.21681.Sense2.5.Cookie.2.0.Oct.14 for this test.

This setting seems to only take hold if you set it and then reboot the phone. Once you reboot, it will certainly disconnect data after the set amount of time. But I also found it disconnected the data if I push the end key a couple times. It also disconnected the data if I was on a phone call using 3G. As long as I have a 3G signal, my phone will typically keep the GPRS connection open while on a call.

Maybe this is specific to the ROM or maybe it just pertains to the Tilt 2. Not sure.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi, much interesting informations, thank you.

I will look into the settings and compare them - I have already found some things, which would suit to your descriptions, but I will check it exactly the next days.

For your question for the notifications and powering:

The "powering" is only for switching the profile, nothing else. Especially if you want to switch a Layout or some other things, it is needed to get out of unattended mode of a device. But that depends on the suspend settings and much more. Therefore it would only be confusing to explain it too exactly for the most users - but you can write me a PM for more informations.

Simply use, what is working for you to switch your profile.

I will add some more descriptions for it in manual later (and also some more overviewable settings in app)

the notifications: Like said - CHTS doesn't use a permanent running app.

The master app is chtmaster - and like you have seen in notifications, it runs only on switch time of a profile. And only if at this time it is locked, it uses another notification, to know, that it should ask the user afterwards.

The other notifications... besides to say: Some are of CHT, not CHTS, ... are for the Data-things - so e.g. to detect wifi-on and so to switch grps off.

And the third part is the other background-app for wallpaper-scheduling.

So depends on your settings, there can be states - please send me in PM the exact notifications, so that I can compare it with you chtssettings.xml.

Ehm - one simple question: Does the CHT-Wifi-Toggle works for you?

Thanx for your responses!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Yes, the CHT Wifi Toggle works. That is my primary way of turning Wifi on and off. If I turn on Wifi using the toggle, then turn my screen on and off, the toggle shows off for a second, then toggles itself back on while my Wifi reconnects. thanks.

Sense hangs when switching profile

I installed CHTS 2.02 over the weekend and have been experimenting with profile switch. I only have savemyday and goodnite profiles. I have put chts on Automatic, thus far, every time when HTC HD2 switches profile, Sense would hang, and my only solution is to soft reset. Did I miss any settings or possibly there are other considerations I failed to heed to? Thanks.

PocketPC-User

Of course I greatly appreciate the utility of this great program together with CHT and other related offerings!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
the problem ist, that cht is still beta and also have this issue, so I can't be sure, what is the cause for some constellations. also there are different suspend settings on each device, which CHTS must get cope with. Therefore different power modes in settings.

for Layout change the backlight must be on, otherwise the device can go back to sleep too early.

my recommendation is to try manually switch with “very smooth“, then “smooth“ and then “full powerl and look, which suits to your device/rom/settings at the best. all power modes are only for switching profiles, so nothing else is affected.

Have you already tried them?

if that doesn't work, we can trace a little bit more into.I made a new system part of CHT with logging ability, there we can look for more.

so just feedback, if all power modes have a problem. btw: fixstartmanila tried, too? you can find it here in xda-devs to download.

some people with some ROMs reported, that this has helped, if Manila doesn't restart

I can't confirm this, because I have no problem with Manila restart and also can't reproduce it so far.

thanx 4 feedback

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PocketPC-User:
Micha,

Many thanks for the quick response. I just ran fixstartmanila, will check out automatic switch later and report back. I can certainly appreciate how complex the situation is, and hope all these minor issues will sort out in time.

With best wishes.

PocketPC-User
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PocketPC-User:
Micha,

I can report that fixstartmanila did not help. Sense still hang up when CHTS switched from savemyday to goodnite. Next I will try to experiment with manual switches with different power options to see what happens (have not tried, and do not know where those choices are either but I image I can figure out).

Many thanks.

PocketPC-User
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
ok, I have your current CHTSSettings.xml?

the choices are to find in "Settings" of MainMenu.

please use the new fix (chtstate108f) for CHT, which I posted some minutes ago in CHT-Thread and activate the Logging and also give me the Logging while switching, please.

Thanx

Works also on 6.1 for me

Hi, just wanted to say that chts works for me on 6.1 with sense 2.5. I have installed the "Blacknew V" rom from kenya1234 on a blackstone.

For now seems that all works, I'm doing some more tests.

Great piece of software, like cht.

Nicola
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi Nicola,

thanx for the feedback - good to know, that on 6.1 it also works.

The most issues which will come, I should know now and I'm almost finished with the fixes for CHT in system part, so I'm about to do it for CHTS now. And so it's good to know much about 6.1, too.

Thanx mate!

More wallpaper options

Hello,

very good program of course. Being a phoneAlarm user I'm starting to use CHTS mainly for switching layout or change wallpaper.

I've to say that I tried automatic mode but phone came instable. However in this moment I've started to test the wallpaper switching thing, so I discovered it works even in manual mode and I'm happy :D

I would like to suggest other "powerful" features:

- Option to choose all the pics directly in the chosen path, or even all the ones in subdirs:

Example, I save my personal pics under /MyPics, but I've organized all my wallpapers in paths like /MyWalls/Nature, MyWalls/Abstract, MyWalls/Cars etc. Would be very handy to choose /MyWalls and have pics from Nature, Abstract, Cars...

- Option to choose random pics or "linear". Linear could be handy for example if you have 24 pics in a day to change every hour (just an example)

- Even if I choose the same folder both for hometab and for alltabs, give us the chance to have different wallpapers (I really didn't have time to test well this).

- Change other elements a part pics, for example clocks (analog/digital), sun/moon, cloud colors etc.etc. They are simply manila files you can overwrite, I already have this working via mortscript and works very well, but of course it would be nice to have fully integrated.

Ok thanks for now, next step will be to schedule layout changes :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PocketPC-User:
Micha:

I installed the new fix (chtstate108f), and the Sense hanging problem persists. Instead of simply hanging, I would get an error message like "Unable to Start Sense, Press Here". I have to soft reset in order to start the system.

So today I will turn on the tracking and send you the file sometime tomorrow.

Can you tell me where I can find the CHTSSettings.xml please (which folder)?

I will follow up.

Many thanks.

Micha:

Attached is the CHTSSettings.xml file in zipped format.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
after first final there will come more wall optioms, some of them are almost the same as your ideas, for the others I will think about how to make it.

for your subdirs of walls: choose only one or randomly all?

could you also describe the “instability“ of your device in automatic mode?

do you use chtstate108f fix for CHT?

(I hope yes :) )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I saw, you've found it :)

Please try "full power" at first.

I haven't seen something inside the settings, but I will try to reproduce it with the new internal version. Perhaps it's already fixed - but that must be at first confirmed by the CHTS beta team.

But the chtstateLOG will help much for it, I think.

It can also be an issue of CHT or simply Sense. Even stock Sense freezes sometimes, that's unwritten law :)

But also with CHTS as well as with CHT - we try our best!

Thanx for your feedbacks and further helping postings

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
@All users:

Please apply the fix for CHT, which I posted yesterday here:

-->CHT-Fix 108f for CHT v2 beta<--

This will also correct some issues of CHTS, too.

Thanx for considering

Thanks this solved the frequent stuttering and freezing during games and videos because of the sensors for me. Now i can use the sensors without a problem!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PocketPC-User:
Micha,

I did create a DWord key as instructed and set it to 1. But for whatever the reason I do not see a new folder on the storage card about the CHTS logging information. So I do not have additional information to report other than saying I experienced the same hanging problem this morning when CHTS was to switch from goodnite to savemyday, the same as I described earlier.

Thanks again for the prompt followup. Let me know how I can assist further.
