Under mail options in storage tab do you have set to empty deleted items:

Immediately?

On connect/disconnect?

Manually?

Try "Immediately" if you do not have it already.

I have it set On connect/disconnect so if I decide I did not want to delete I have a chance to recover it. I sometimes get the second copy as a result. I have not tried "Immediately".

New appointments appearing in the home tab only after sense restart

I'm using CHT 2.0.0 on my 2 year old topaz. I'm happy with its speed and enhanced control over the phone's interface, but I found a bug that wasn't there in the CHT 1.8.5 - when I create new appointments, they don't appear in the home tab, this is, until I restart the sense.

I searched for other occurrences of the problem I encountered in this thread, and found that at least two users describing the same symptoms, but they never got an answer.

Is there a solution to this problem ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
It may just be that they take a bit to update. I have noticed that the calendar items don't update right away, but after about a minute, the additions and changes will be there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Updated my way to do the sort differently.

Start Date

:

Now if you select sort by start date you get all tasks that start before or during the task range. This will include any tasks without start dates at the end of the list, but excludes those due beyond the task range. This keeps the list smaller. Tasks that start on the same date are sub-sorted by their due date.

Due Date

:

If you select sort by due date you get all tasks that are due before or during the task range. This will include any tasks without due dates. Tasks that are due on the same date are sub-sorted by their start date.

I think I fixed the issue of items with a due date later than the range showing as overdue.

Also, if you select show only one date and it would be "..." since it is not set, I changed it from "..." to "No Data" for these. If you select show both and it would be "... -- ..." since both dates are not set, I changed it too.If you select both and it would be "... - somedate" I changed it to be "Due: somedate" so it looks cleaner to me.

The files I changed are CHT_DateLoaders.lua and Co0kieTasks.lua which are 7B09A9E6_manila and 3778A5E5_manila respectively.

BTW I used IDS_No Data

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Just a heads up. I think I have appointments and tasks in one widget. They are sorted and mixed together so you may see a task then a couple appointments and then some more tasks. It is late. I will test for a few days before posting.

Still need to look into tapping appointments or tasks not working yet.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I have this much working. If you tap a task it will open tasks and if you tap an appointment it will open the calendar tab or the appointment depending on your settings.

Next step is to get long press on task features. Maybe a long press on appointment to open for edit and tap to go to calendar. Also, maybe add edit to tasks too.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Diviner:
In older versions of CHT it was as you described, but with this version it isn't so. You can wait two days and the new entered appointments still won't appear.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caliban2:
works fine, takes ~15 secs to appear on my phone.

you could try this and restart sense:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"CHT.Appointments.UpdateMode"=dword:00000001
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] spanpaul:
Please help. I've read this notification:The CHT lock screen does not support any PIN code or password protected unlocking. With PIN code you mean the PIN entered when we turn on the phone? Or something else? I have HD2 with manila 2.5.20181527.0 and radio 2.15.50.14
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hefman:
Yes. It is the pin when you turn on the phone. The CHT lockscreen will not work with it and you will have to hard reset if you try.

You can still install CHT -- just don't enable the CHT lockscreen.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] :
kewl, tnx cht is great
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I created an "Update Appointments" Co0kieLink like the "update Tasks" one under miscellaneous.

Make a safe copy of your 1DBE7C80_manila file from \windows and copy this one to \windows. Restart Sense. Let me know if this works for you. If not I have another bit of code I can try in the link.

This is the Co0kieLinks.lua file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caliban2:
depends...

this doesn't mean the pin-code to unlock the sim-card. you can use cht-lockscreen safely with that.

there's another pin-code if you enabled phone-lock of winmo, that's the incompatible one. check yourself: if it's enabled, you'd have to enter pin every time you unlock your phone now from winmo-lockscreen.

it's disabled by default, so you should know if you activated it... ^^

incorrect. read above. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Diviner:
I want to be sure first - the file you made, it just adds another button that I can add to the home tab, right ? – I don't want to mess with files that I'm not familiar with.

it would be nice if it was possible to force update the appointments wiget when pressing the "done" while editing or creating a new appointment, or if one visits the calendar tab.

Any way thanks for your help,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
RoryB, how's the Appointment/Task merge coming along? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] caliban2:
have you tried to change update-mode in reg?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Yes it is a link similar to the "Update Tasks" under miscellaneous links.

I am looking into that for App-Task version of Appointments widget I am working on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I am almost done with the debugging I can do and adding features like color. So tasks that are active and appointments due today will be the active color; tasks overdue and appointment that is active will be the overdue color.

I had a different problem with my phone, but expect to be able to release for public testing tomorrow.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I have looked in the lua code and that registry value gets read, but the part of the code that uses it is commented out. So I do not think it will do any good.

--if self.updateMode == 0 then
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PMoto:
Hi diviner:

I have a topaz, two years old as you.

I get that very same prob too.

To solve that, as I can remember, you must let the appointment to refresh before you return to home screen.

Example:

Make a new or an edit old appointment

at the end, it will return to the page of calendar. Wait until you have the new appointment in that page.

After that, you can return to the home screen, and the appointment will be there.

If you return to the home screen BEFORE the calendar page is refreshed, the new info will not be displayed, till 00:00 (time for a usual refresh) or a restart sense.

Get it?

Glad to help. ;)

PMoto
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Diviner:
First I want to thank you guys for the attention and the help.

I did try changing the update mode - in fact, I tried it before I made the first post - I read somewhere that it solved similar problems, but I had no luck there.

I'm sorry I haven't replied to you sooner.

After reading your post, I remembered that it happened to me too. It happened only once, so I couldn't make the connection.

Thanks again for the help.

Looking at my phone, I thought to myself, there is a nice place for a small refresh button in the wiget - at the top, between the day and the alarm.

RoryB - do you think it's doable (you could probably also make it look much better) ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
It is, but I am not sure I have the skills yet. It takes three files to create the widget and a fourth to gather the data. I am currently editing one of the three and the data one. The others I have not begun to fully understand yet.

Does the separate link I created work for you, for now? If it does not, then I have not figured out how to force a refresh.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Appointments and Tasks in one

Okay, I have a beta ready for appointments widget that includes tasks. It sorts and shows both tasks and appointments with each day having its tasks and then its appointments.

Tasks due today are highlighted as well as overdue and completed items. I am working on some color coding for appointments. Maybe highlight those due today and the current one a different color.

If you tap the date you get a pop up to select calendar, appointments or tasks so you can create new tasks or appointments. The "New appointment" version pops up a choice for task or appointment. I could not find and "[[IDS_New]]" to use instead of the "[[IDS_NEW_ENTRY_HEADER]]".

You can long press a task and get the pop up to "delete" or "complete" it.

Tapping appointments do their usual.

This updates the dataloader and the appointment widget to get these features.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Rory i'm just testing it now. Impressive work, well done. Everything is working as expected. The only problems i have are regarding tasks (btw i am using sensetasks 1.1.1)

a) Long pressing on a task doesn't bring up the menu for "delete" or "complete"

Just noticed that this problem occurs only for existing tasks. If you create a new task then "delete" and "complete" popup works fine

Spoke too soon. It's actually random. Sometimes the popup appears and most of the times not

b) Pressing on the date it brings up the Popup for "Calendar", "Appointments" and "Tasks". The first 2 work as expected, but when choosing "Tasks" it's not doing anything.

c) If you add a new task, the widget is not auto-refreshing to show it. You need to restart sense to show the new task

I will keep on testing and let you know of my findings
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I am not familiar with sensetasks 1.1.1

The original code uses Shell_NavigateTo("\\windows\\chttask.exe", "-updatecomplete") and Shell_NavigateTo("\\windows\\chttask.exe", "-updatedelete") for these functions and I do not see why it would not always pop up the menu. Does it work in the standard task widget?

I used their task code

if TasksLink ~= "" then
Shell_NavigateTo(TasksLink, self.tasksCmdLineNew)
else
NavigateToTasks()
end

Does it work in the standard task widget?

Yeah tasks seem to take a very long time to update. I am adding a "Refresh" to the date pop up. Trying to get it to work

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Strange....I switched to standard windows mobile tasks instead of SenseTasks but still not working.

The delete/complete popup works fine on the standard task widget, never had any problems with it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Update to add color to appointments. Also, add "refresh" to the date and new appointment pop ups. Also trying to get it to refresh on its own more quickly to catch task changes, etc.

When I add a task I use "refresh" to get it to show up quicker. It seems the lua code does not wait for the new task to be created before it executes the refresh command so it refreshes before the task is created.

Here is the code for task application

AppointmentsClass.DetectTasksCmdLine = function(self)
if TasksLink == nil or TasksLink == "" then
return
end

local tasksApp = self:GetNameFromPath(TasksLink)

if self.tasksCmdLineEdit == "" then
if tasksApp == "pTasks" then
self.tasksCmdLineEdit = "ViewTask -"
elseif tasksApp == "SenseTasks" or tasksApp == "SenseTasksLauncher" then
self.tasksCmdLineEdit = "-oid"
end
end

if self.tasksCmdLineNew == "" then
if tasksApp == "pTasks" then
self.tasksCmdLineNew = "AddNew"
elseif tasksApp == "SenseTasks" or tasksApp == "SenseTasksLauncher" then
self.tasksCmdLineNew = "-addtask"
end
end
end

It should work, but I tried creating a local variable for TasksLink to see if that helps you.

******************** Remove old code to avoid wrong one getting used **************************
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Thanks Rory.

For me it didn't change anything....Still new tasks don't appear (even after using the new "refresh" option and also my previous problems remain.

Can someone else who tried it please give some feedback? Because it might be something specific to my setup and i am just bothering Rory for no reason
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Appointments with Tasks

Another tweak:

I set it up to look at all the tasks and then limit to the maxcount as it sorts to the date range. I found that I had to set the max count to 99 to get tasks to show up sometimes. When it was set to 20 they did not show even though I had 43 tasks active.

I had the hardest time getting it to work after a reflash to solve my ROM problem and it turned out to be this strange limit factor.

I cannot remember what else I may have changed since the last post, but I may have tried some new things with getting the list to refresh more often. Let me know if you can see your new tasks now.

**********************************

Set Max task to 99 for now. I still have problems if I reset phone and do not have it set to 99.

******************** Remove old code to avoid wrong one getting used **************************
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Appointments with Tasks

Fixed the max count issue. It will set the max count to be the number of active tasks. I have 43 and if I set the max count to low enough I do not "see" any tasks in my AppTask version of the Appointments widget. It appears the program that gathers the task data uses this limit for how many to gather. This is different than the max count for appointments. With appointments you get them all and filter them and then you limit the filtered list to the max count.

I do not know if there will be a problem if anyone has more than 99 active tasks. I use tasks very heavily and only have 43 active ones.

I also changed multi-day all-day appointments to show up a little differently if you have do not show multi-day appointments selected.

My preferred user experience is to set the following in CHTEditor widget settings for appointments and tasks:

Enable scrolling on

Appointment range of 7 days

Max appointments of 20

open in editor is on

Don't repeat multi-day is on

Show appointments

I hide call history since I use the free link for it

I hide voicemail since I use the free link for it

Task range of 7 days

Maximum task count is set by the lua, but you could set it to 99 at first

Show complete is on

Show both dates is on

Long press pop up is on (brings up the complete or delete menu)

Sort by start date (this will show all tasks that start in the 7 day range and if it does not have a start date it still shows if its due date is in the 7 day range too; all tasks that start or are due before today also show up.)

**********************************

Found an error in multiday sort

**********************************

I think I fixed it.

need help

Good evening RoyB,

as I see you are able to modify CHT.

And that is exactly what I've been locking for.

Could you please help me with the "tasks widget".

I try to describe my "problem":

As you can see in the attached picture, there are a lot of tasks (the light gray ones), which are overdue.

The violet ones are the ones which are pending.

Because I am using the "tasks widget" single lined and I want to see the pending tasks first.

It would be nice If you could modify the "tasks widget" exactly in that way, that

the pending task is shown first.

Thanks a lot in advance
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Do you want to not show overdue or just show them later?

It is not impossible, but it would be difficult to sort by if it is due today then overdue and then due later than today. It would have to do three sorts and build a separate list to then post on the widget. Maybe it could be to just take the current sort and "find" the ones due today and push them to the top of the list.

BUG: (Minor) Data Disconnect icon works but does not refresh

I add the "Data Disconnect" as a Quick Link icon.

Think I've found a small bug though.

Try this:

1. Add a Quick Link Toggle Switch - "Data".

2. Go to Weather or Stocks and update (to kick off a Data Connection)

3. Go back to your "Data" Quick Link toggle switch and tap on it to disconnect.

4. The Data will disconnect but note the icon stays as on.

5. To clear it slide the Home Tab to Calendar (basically anything that is not Quick Links page)

6. Go back to Quick Links. And the icon is correctly displayed.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sharkie405:
Bump. It's a valid question. Far more silly things are being answered around here.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Could you list your running processes, only perhaps that's there something overseen.

Then also go in CHTS to the current Profile (GoodNite? :) ) and there -> "Sense and CHT settings" and switch "Automatic CHT state update time" to "very much longer" and let this over the next night.

Also disable all, what you don't need in the night.

then the second possibility is also to find out via CHTS:

Any App or so tries to access to internet over night. Then try to go to data settings and set "GPRS enabled (No Data)" to off - plz confirm that the left icon is enlighted - it's a 3-state-toggle.

the third possibility is not very probable:

You have a bad reception, then switch off "Network" over night

the 4th and last:

Sense must get used to CHT a little bit... sounds strange, ey? But it's really so - caching and so on - so sometimes some Soft-Resets later over the day - the next night the drain is away. Also playing around with your device cost energy, too :) But I think you have considered this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I searched for an issue in your text... *laughing*

Thank you - that's indeed VERY useful. Because so we can compare, which ROM or Sense can't be the cause.

That's WinMo and their different Sense and ROM-Versions... hard job.

Big Thanx to you!

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Therefore that CHTS configures not only CHT - it also schedules Windows - so depend on the settings, if you are looking for a better battery usage, then I would say - yes. e.g. by killing a GPRS connections also some apps in memory are unloaded or whatever. Much possibilities, some gives more, some less memory.

But to be honest: I look(ed) more for better CPU usage than available memory for the first versions. And it depends on the settings.

And perhaps it was only a caching of Sense or MediaPlayer or so, which was finished.

But Co0kie made with the new CHT an extraodinary job - so much more features and Manila.exe uses very much less memory load. And if you e.g. know, that more quicklinks uses more memory - and now you can make much more Links + Freelinks, too - then you understand, which great job he made. Some things are not on the first glimpse visible, what's all in this triple Release.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BuzzJoe:
Seems like it permanently crashes when I added a tasks section to a screen.

Can't bring HTC Sense back to life and need to hard reset my device :(

Running on a Touch Pro 2 (German O2, ROM 2.07.707)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
You mean soft-reset, I hope...

Save a Baseline with CHTS to avoid to much work after such a crash.

Can you make a screenshot of the crash? or describe more exactly what happens and what you have installed on your device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
There seems to be a memory leak issue...

After reset, I have more RAM than before (about 68 MB). However, after usual activity (say Opera browsing, or working with PIM) it drops to 20-25 MB. With CHT 1.8.5 I typically ran around 30-40 MB on the average. I haven't used this long enough to be sure, though.

Also, manilla.exe shows frequent CPU load of 3-4% every 4-5 sec. Don't remember seeing this with previous version. By the way, I am not using any of the new features, my screen is exactly the same it was with 1.8.5.

Does anybody else see this ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] acemonvw:
Woot!

Going to download it now, thanks much!!!!!

Edit: Downloaded, the first thing that happened after restart is "Error: Services.exe" Other than that, it seems to be working. The bottom soft-tabs if you just tab the center tab for displaying your home-tabs, gives display glitches (re-read intro, this is NOT what one is supposed to anyway, my mistake). This does not happen when just tapping the icon and sliding to the tab you want. A yellow screen glitch is noticed also when going to some of the home-tabs as well. I really like the new functionality of this CHT, however I may not be using the soft-key function yet.

The only thing I really want to see next is an INTERNET WIDGET!

I will give any updates as to errors if I get any. Thank you so much for the great work!

Oh, I'm running the stock Tmobile ROM 2.13.531.1 (90963) WWE.

Yes...I have read that and seen the .png's in the Windows folder. I apologize, I should have been more specific with my question.

Sorry for the noob question, but what do I do with the .png's to skin the CHT Soft Keys. I do not see any options to "skin" the existing soft keys (Start Menu, Phone, Menu, etc...). I am not sure what to do??

I also read in the FAQ:

Q: Why can't I skin my taskbar and softkeybar?

A: This feature is only available on WM6.5.

If I am running 21679 (WM 6.5.x), does that mean I cannot skin the CHT softkeys.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Nemesis2k9:
I am just loving this mod but there are 3 things that I noticed

1: The notification bar covers the title bar in CHT editor.

2: I cant remove the sliding desktops (I just want to use 1)

3: CHT lockscreen does not work for me.

Bump. It's a valid question. Far more silly things are being answered around here.

Creating the links is easy enough. Use Total Commander or whatever you use to create .lnk files with the following command strings:

"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://facebook.page

"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://peopleCallHistory.page

You can look in your \Windows\Manilafull.xml file to see the names of the pages that you can link to in this manner. Remember that the commands are case sensitive. "peopleCallHistory" works. "peoplecallhistory" does not work.

Use whatever program you use to associate your preferred icons to those, and there ya go.
