Hola, basically you should have the option, so if you don´t have it, something is wrong. In case everything is right, then you can also set the wallpapers in the configuration / settings tab in "personalize" :)

Hola, even thought Hefman and Poyensa and also many other members of the team already answered this also several times (my self included), here´s another way to remove the non working (NOT DEAD) quicklinks.... Please check and see if it helps ;-)

Search Hide-Slider Icon

Hi,

Ive search a way to replace the "Hide-Slider" Icon. I use a GTX White Theme and there is a black rectancle Icon als "Hide-Sider" icon. Does anybody has an idea how can i replace the icon. I don't use this Icon and the best way for me would be if the Icon is complete away.

Thanks, Alex

Hi poyensa,

many thanks.

"Super Stealth Slider Tab Skin.cab" was the solution.

@ Co0kieMonster Any plans on an update?, as I've still got a bug where my Quick Links swap places, duplicate, or replace each other. I find that I have to restore my backup often.

Headings to organize links?

I need a way to provide headings to organize links. E.G. Comm, Productivity, Navigation, Multi-Media, etc. Can you think of a way to do that?

Thanks!

Organise Links

Do you mean on the desktop or in the start menu?

If it's the desktop you could try using adapted backgrounds from this set over here.

Install just the backgrounds after you have designed and produced your own set add and replace the manila files in the cabs or straight to your \windows.

with this method you could have upto 7 screens on your desktop with individualised background for each. |Tools|Comms|Music|Dev| you get the picture I'm sure.

PM me if you wan to talk about method or technique. :cool:

Hola, maybe reading only a few posts (not even the whole thread) would have solved your issue... Check link just four posts before your´s , or use the search and you´ll find plenty of answers dated back in November & December ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
Very cool. I didn't realize from reading the docs that you could have a different wallpaper for each screen. That I can definitely use. There are lot of other very cool things on that post also that I didn't know.

The advantage of a widget would be one could move it or change it at will without redesigning a background.

It would be of great benefit also if there were some place to see the the 3rd party widgets available for CHT 2.0 along with their descriptions. Many may be on this thread, but it's thousands of posts long.

Thanks TONS for sharing your knowledge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Yes, that would be very helpful for all interested users, but there have been several "failed" attempts to at least "unify" the information in one thread :(. But you can use the "search" option and search for "CHT Widgets" and you´ll find all sorts of addon widgets for CHT. If you are interested in any particular widgets, just let us know and we might be able to piont you in the right direction ;)

I'm thinking about not using Quick Links. I'd buy Quick Links would be more efficient since they allow the advantages of a array storage and processing, but from a practical standpoint, I can only have one level of them anyway. I question how whether the impact would be noticeable to the user.

Edit: Disregard. I took out Qucik Links and it works fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
(Sarcasm noted) Hey, genius, did u consider just for a second that

Anyway, I don't use Contact Quick Links, & the ones that do duplicate, move, or replace others are functioning Quick Links. I would just rather not have to IMPORT my backup .cht file every so often. Any real help would be gr8ly appreci8ed.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Ok, we´re getting somewhere. No sarcasm used, it was only to see if any of the other hints hepled. But I guess since you did not think it could have anything to do with your your problem, I´m not sure if you read those and/or tried to apply any of the suggestions for this issue posted by team members and other users in the thread :p

The issue with the quick links is also "regarding" other probs with any quick links moving, dissappearing or changing. Most frequently it happened with contacts set as quick links (or at least it was the most obvious one), but also if you set quick links to programs. But I´ll check back and let you know soon :)

The task widget has been unusable since 2.0 was released. It would be nice if this would work. I noticed after I populated it, that it has the same test message as Calendar events. That leads me to believe that it is more a case of never quite finished, rather than overly difficult to fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Sorry to read that this widget is not working well for you. I´m using it on both devices ()HD2 and HD Mini) and never had any probs with it. I know it´s been stated that it can have issues with some ROMs/Devices, but there have been solutions for that too. Could you please explain the problems you´re experiencing?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
From known issues: "Sense might restart if the tasks widget is active but there are no tasks." That's about the gist of what I'm seeing. After a soft restart, Sense may crash 5 to 10 times before it gets up and running, and even then, there may be no links showing on the page. However, once it finally gets up, at least I have the opportunity to turn remove the task widget. After removing the widget, a soft reset will return any missing links exactly as they were.

I was hoping not to run into it also, but wasn't that lucky this time. :(

It's a new Sprint Touch Pro2 as of about a month ago with the factory original ROM. (6.5) I'm all for a good work-around. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
All right, I was afraid you´d have a TP2, but then again, I´m also glad because just for that device we have several team-members :)

I need some help here. I followed your install instructions and ended up with disaster. Sense would start but the main screen had a digital clock (not working) and Sense weather (working). I have CHT 2.0 installed and CHT Editor also installed. But I could not restore my settings with CHT editor. How to do get what I had before which was 5 pages and a few widgets? Your help is appreciated.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, I know you´ve also posted you´re issue on rat´s thread, so let´s take it one by one...

What else have you installed afterwards? How did you install the widget slot fix?

I´m asking this before providing a new "7c60907d_manila". You could use the one included in CHT cab, but if you also changed the weather library and other things, we have to know so we can help you fix it and give you the right "pills" ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kain144000:
Sorry, about that. Can't always tell the motive behind an emoticon. lol I appreci8 the help. I do, however, feel as though it may just be time for a new version. Btw the Quick Links and the Tasks widget bugs.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] IT_Architect:
I set up a task named Place Holder 12/31/2016, and in the task notes I explain the reason for the task. Once I did that, there were no more problems. I knew from the release notes a dummy task should work, but I was hoping for a fix.

I didn't buy an HD2 because I may not use it on Boost Mobile CDMA. :( I know there are at least a couple people out there doing it but it's not OK with BOOST. I would dearly love the capacitive screen and snapdragon processor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Don´t worry, no hard feelings ;) It´s sometimes we have the impression that the solution is known, since we read so many questions and answers... Hopefully the work-around for "contacts" should also solve your "regular" quick link issues. It´s worth a try, cause it has helped others too. Concerning the tasks, just check the "trick" with setting a "dummy task"... And indeed, there have been quite some developements that might make a new release, or at least an update and tuto very use- and heplful, besides making sense :)

The team really looked hard for a definitive fix, but since it was kind of a random problem (as well as quicklinks) it could never be pinned down exactly. It happened on several ROMs and devices, but not on all, and could hardly be reproduced exactly. For the bugs that could be reproduced over and over again, and the ones that got pinned down, a solution was included...

I have a good friend having your same thoughts and doubts about his CDMA provider not "upgrading" service in his area and the HD2 (he´s one of the TP2´s in the team). But the TP2 is a great device, and to be honest, I´m coming to "prefer" mi Mini over my HD2 :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rclark27:
Hi BHS, thanks for your help. I plead ignorant on my attempt to add additional slots even though I took the time to do it right. I installed the 7c60907d_manila per the post that Rat had on his Weather post. That is to disable Sense, copy the file to the windows directory, restart phone, restart Sense. Upon starting Sense I could only see the Main page, no other pages were visible. At that point I opened CHT editor and tried to import my saved settings, when Sense restarted, I got the same screen. So now I'm asking what I should do next. It acts like CHT is no longer working. Yes, I have installed the Weather Library in Rat's post. Are you asking what other widgets I have installed too? I'm at work now and can't look at my phone until I leave, but if you need that list I will be happy to give it to you. All of this is in the effort to get Rat's weather page going so I'm also watching that post closely too. Things are spread out in relation to this problem (slots and adding this Wx widget), so I'm trying to find the right spot to get help. Thanks again. PS: Would it help if I sent you my original 7c60907d_manila when everything was working (my installed widgets, pages, etc) so you can look at it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
You´re welcome :D I tried to shorten the quote with the needed items, so we´ll try to fix it here first, and then see on the widget thread how to get the widget right?

If you could provide me the list, that would hepl me try to save most of your installs. Also if you can provide me with your last working chte settings file. I think with working only on two specific files we can get your device back to normal, but I have to make some tests with the items you´ve installed in order to "recreate" the "backtrack & fix" on my devices ;)

Hi BHS, so you understand, my HD2 is back to normal thanks to SPB backup so

my goal now is to get the increased slots feature and add rat's weather widget

.

The list of widgets is as follows: Rat_2665 Regulator clock, BL_Group Birthday, Jamrecords BL_Group Clock, LG Weather Digital Clock, BL_Group weather Widget. Also using Main Clock-Analog Clock 1, Appointments-Slim header, Quicklinks-1 row, Notification bar-Notification bar.

I have attached my CHT settings file. Thanks for you help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
All right, let´s get to it then... Having a clean device, or on with your back up installed, so I assume that the above mentioned widgets are still installed....

So, the first issue could be your slot assignment and the amount of widgets in case your device/ROM should have probs with it. Remember, not all ROMs have issues with more than 10 and less than 20 widgets. It´s for these that the fix file was made, but it shouldn´t harm your device at all. Regarding the BL widgets, I stopped testing them a while ago, so I can only "vouch" for the one´s I´ve tested and ran parallel on my devices. By any chance do you remember the "order" of installation or could you "extract" part of your registry or look at it?

With a registry editor on device, or with CeRegEditor from PC (device connected via active sync, or equivalent) go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down until you find the "CHT slots". There are CHTI.AddonWidget slots, as well as CHTI.AddonLinks slots, so don´t mix them up. This entries show which widget is installed into which slot (CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot"X")...

Regarding the weather widgets, I had the BL installed way back when it was released, but only til 3rd or 4th version, so I would have to check on those again. If you want to replace them with rat´s forecast, fine...

Bear in mind, that the required "library file" is crucial and might cause issues with other widgets depending or calling on the same, but not modded files, and vice versa. And this is true for all or any widget that uses the same files, but modded in it´s own way. With iimage files there is no issue, because you can see the effect, but with mode9 and luas, you might not see the change simply because Sense or your device just wont start. Now, in a case like yours, I would first make a "balance" and kind of "prioritize" the widgets I want and then start to install them in this "priority" order (if possible). See CHT is something like a "giant widget" for Sense, and so are some of the widgets available out there to be understood for CHT. Some only make "minor" changes, like replacing one image for another within a file, but others change the way other files are beeing used and interpreted, so even though they are called "addon´s", they do far more.

Question now is, would you be willing to do a "fresh" install in that "priority" order, keeping in mind, that maybe not all are possible due to possible conflicts of the widgets with each other? I´m not saying that the above widgets are not compatible with each other - it´s only hypothetically speaking ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rclark27:
I'm willing to uninstall and reinstall in whatever priorty order you think would be necessary. This is the current order:

Slot0= CHTW_rat_2665_RegulatorClock

Slot1= BL_Birthday

Slot2=Mn01_StandaloneAnalogClock

Slot3=CHTWidget_rat_2665_LG Weather

Slot4=CHTAddons\BL_Weather

Slot5= (bank) (no other slots from here)

I'm using Rom 3.14.531.1 (T Mobile) and Manillia 2.5.20121412.1

I would like to still be able to have at least a 20 slot capability for widgets. Please advise on what I need to do next. Also, do you think the BL_Weather widget could interfere with rat's weather widget?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
I don´t think that BL Weather interferes, since on another teammembers device the three widgets (BL, ForCast and LG) run fine together - but from what I´ve tried, and others as well (and it worked for them) is to install the WeatherForcast "before" the LG Clock. So maybe this could work for you to, justb uninstall BL Weather and LG clock (make sure the library stays, or re-install twice) and see if that helps ;-)

Since the widget uninstall and install takes less time than having to do an HR and install everything again, I would start with a "clean" CHT and then add the widgets again...

Note: If you check again in HKCU, you will find just above the keys for the addon slot 0 the following key: "CHTI.AddonWidgets.Count". This should be 0x14 (20), meaning you should have 20 slots available...

So back to topic... If you uninstall all widgets (of course with the corresponding SoftResets and Sense Off where required - I do it always) and then check HKCU again, to make sure the slots are "empty".

Then, install the widgetfix file first (sense off), followed by a SoftReset. Turn Sense back on to check. I use this procedure for every install that affects Sense/Manila, so I also recommend it. It takes a bit longer, but hey, it´s safe ;-)

Then install the library (remember Sense OFF) and SoftReset. The library is best to install first because it´s a "base" file. Then Sense back on to check. If all OK, then Sense back OFF and install WeatherForecast... Again, Sense on to check, set and apply widget..., if OK, then Sense OFF and next widget (LG Clock?) and so on... Let me know if at any step Sense fails to load, or starts looping...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rclark27:
Ok, easy enough. I won't be able to do this until this weekend but I will let you know how it goes. I thank you so much for your help (in great detail) on this.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
No sweat, you´re welcome. If you uninstall and check registry, dont worry about finding a gap in the addon slots - dynamic slot handling is not yet enabled, so the next widget that´s installed (and doesn´t have a fixed slot assigned) will use that free slot. I´ll wait for your results and feedback on the WE :)

Adding Widgets difficult?

Forget I asked lol, sorted it with reg entries.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Xavier, glad you sorted it out. Would you mind sharing your problem AND your solution for others ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rclark27:
BHS, one last question, what state should CHT be in before I add the widgetfix file? Should I set it to the default settings (after I remove and un-install the widgets). I ask because when I put this file in last week, it was as if CHT was not working anymore....I could not change any settings, digital clock was not working, etc. Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hi, well actually the "state" of CHT will have no effect, but the fact that Sense should be disabled does ;-) I always (unless I´m in a hurry and it´s a trusted and repeated install after uninstall) disable Sense before I change any files in it - it´s just a precautionary meassure to ensure the file(s) that are beeing replaced are not beeing used and/or blocked by the system. If you want to make sure that the "change" (over writing) of the file worked, simply check the date of the file with (resco) explorer after replacing it (make sure you have enabled to see also hidden/system files or all files) before enabeling Sense again. Also, if you´re replacing one file at a time, you can (should) have two folders on SD Card for it. Place the new "modded" files in one folder, and the original CHT/ROM files in the other, this way you´ll always have the right files to fix a "faulty" install or a non sticking file from SD without having to connect to the PC for it...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] omniaphone:
thank you very much ! I very like it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] xavierdemon:
LOL, the problem was getting Widgets to actually activate. The usual procedure to get them on the screen just didn't work, clicking Done in the Edit screen didn't do anything (only seemed to happen with 3rd party widgets: Typoclock, battery widget etc.). So I just adjusted the visibilty reg setting for the particular widget I was trying to get active to 1.

Reg entries are in: HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila/CHT/Layouts

You'll find all the setting for your Homescreens in the above location.

Typically I removed the widget after I got it working as didn't like it lol.

I'll add another vote for the creation of a FM Radio Widget though :), if anyone has the skill to do one :).

Oh and Cookie you the man, CHT is very special - thanks for all your hard work on this.

hey guys.

i am looking for a "Date" widget. it should simply display the actual date. i know that i can use the appointment widget but would like to have it presented a little bit bigger.

is there such a widget?

thx
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rclark27:
BHS, everyting went fine until I installed the 1st widget which was Rat's Forecast Widget. Went I tried to activate, Sense would start, but it was locked up after that. The Main page which I had only the Digital clock at that point was no longer visible and I could not change pages any more. This was basically what was happening last week when I had other widgets installed. This time this was the only widget installed and I followed your instructions exactly during the installation, is it important to try to install this widget to the Main page? I was trying to insatll to a different page. I then tried BL Groups WX widget and it worked fine. Any advice is appreciated. Thanks:confused:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hi, sorry but I could not reply before, since we just updated CHTS today...

I see, you had issues with the first widget looping... But did you remember to check if the required Library was really installed properly? Remember that sometimes replacing files won´t "stick". In this particular case, sense starts to loop because it can´t find the needed file (library file = 3a8e04af_manila) provided in library cab, but also in CHT and in ROM. So if you checked the file date, not when you install the file, but when it was created. Don´t know your ROMs file date, but the one from CHT is 22/08/2010 file size 32 KB, the one in rat´s library is 27/02/2011 and file size 35 KB. Otherwise, if the file is correct (maybe a corrupt download) then it could be that the widget install itself failed. To check this, please go and check if you can find the entry in the corresponding CHTI.AddonAddonWidgets.Slot in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila. The Slot should be number 0 if it was the first widget installed. And last but not least, it could be the widgetslotfix file "7c60907d_manila", also available in ROM and CHT...

I guess you mean by digital clock the "flip clock"? Because there is also an Addon Digital one...

And to rule out "Location Services" interfering with the install and setting of widget, please do the following: Switch your phone to "flight mode" during the whole process and also disable "Location Services" in System and also "My Location" (in weather tab) as well as setting the clock not to your location but to a city or town nearest...
