I think your Rom uses a different version of bluetooth stack. and new version of jmlcomm supports more stacks, therefore it works.

So just use it like you made it now - in next CHTS the new version will be used anyway.

Hi,

I don't know your device, ROM and Sense version, but have you simple tried other power settings for switch? you can also attach chtssettings.xml to compare (at best read the FAQs in post #2 how-to)

please feedback after your further trials.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
please switch off "change while locked" - it's not recommended to allow it with Layout change.therefore Sense can "stuck" , because in lock the powering is different in a device.

Also leave off "change only while device is on"

hasn't the "smooth" options for powering been enough, that you use full power?

for your second question: it's intended that preview of switches shows an exact time overlap to remind you, if this is intended.

if the time comes - CHTS will sure simply overjump the doubled profile and doesn't switch twice within a minute :)

Hello Micha,

I know very well all the limits of my script and of mortscript itself. This is why i always asked some programmer to implement in a much better way my ideas :D

But because no one wanted, I continued to use ;)

I understand your worries, however I never noticed big draining or resource consuming processes while in use. I simply noticed that, if phone go out of memory (but not because this script), it stops.

About applications, I don't use anymore WAD (after CHT 1.8 and on useless for me ;) ) even if yes, it's true, script still copy images. I see G-Alarm only in the morning when I wake up, so no problem at all and never noticed what happened while changing wallpaper in background, because I close application after few seconds. Finally about PowerRadio it changes background only after a restart. No problem at all if wallpaper changes "behind", I simply can't see while I don't restart. But that's fine for me. Finally about clocks/suns. This work a bit strange, usually suns change without sense restart, while clocks needs a restart. Other time the "default" clocks/suns returns. In simply words, doesn't work very well, I simply overwrite files and do nothing more. However my impression is that you could be able, programming "inside" Sense, to obtain a "live" change :)

Generic solution is perfect, i used a .ini because was simpler with mortscript :D

CHTS and Sound Setting

Hello Micha:

For my Day profile, I set Phone Ring to automatic (vibration during meetings). It seems each time the profiles switch, the Phone Ring is back to normal (Automatic setting would not stay). Did I miss any thing?

Many thanks.

Hi Micha,

thanks for the feedback, i'll do so. One question though: if i use CHTS to switch off the data connection in the night and i don't allow the change to take place while locked, what if i go to sleep and don't unlock the phone after 2230?

about powering: i tried that 'cause in the FAQ post there was written to give it a try..

where is this?

thanks, i'll report back.

I disabled, restarted, then re-enabled. Now, it seems to be ok.

Hi, Micha, thank you for your reply. Yes, I've thoroughly read all the documentation and FAQ. Sorry for my unclear explanation, when I said that my "phone" is switched off and on, of course I meant "radio module", so I think power settings have nothing to do with it. Anyway, I tried all these options with no effect. Below is my device info, I've also attached my CHTSSetings.xml.

Touch Diamond2 T5353

ROM: 2.53.411.3 (76952) RUS Stock

Radio: 4.49.25.91

Manila 2.5.20113030.0

I also have noticed some problems with CHTSwitchGui when temporary switching to Silent profile while being in automatic mode (similar to what paulbacik mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8633160&postcount=424, and he also owns TD2). It looks like profile actually isn't switched, while the icon indicates that it is.

Perhaps, there is some incompatibility with CHTS and TD2. I wonder if anybody owning TD2 also has these issues.

More wallpaper questions

Hey. Thanks for a great program. Everything works fine for me, but I can't for the life of me get the wallpaper changer to work consistently.

Here's what's been happening for me. I'm trying to get CHTS to switch both the Today Portrait and the CHT Portrait wallpaper at the same time to the same wallpaper. When a profile first starts, it works fine and everything switches pretty much as it should -- sometimes one will change without the other, but the next change will generally fix that.

The problem happens if there's a scheduled switch and the phone is locked or on standby.

If using the CHT lockscreen, the wallpaper will never switch again no matter what until the profile is restarted (and maybe a soft reset).

If using the Sense lockscreen, sometimes the Today portrait changes alone, or (more often) the CHT portrait wallpaper changes but the today doesn't change again (until a profile restart). Any ideas?

Otherwise, the only feature request I'd have is a way to force the phone to Roam only, Home only, or Automatic. At work, my signal from my carrier is weak, but a roaming partner has a strong signal. It would be nice to just set the profile and never have to remember to switch roaming (by the way, I use SwitchRoamMode). It may not be possible, since I think the regedit may be phone specific.

Thanks!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Also with 23h58 ?

Your mortscript is very well written and really advanced. I only meant the limits of Mortscript, which you also said - so really really good job - and so it's easy for me to understand it.

For changes, which needs a Sense-Restart - not so good.

But if I got you right - isn't that not simply possible with CHTS-Layout-switching, if that's manila-files? Could you tell me, which files you mean exactly?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
??? you shouldn't have this option in 2.10 :)

(it was in 2.02 - and it didn't worked - mostly with this issue.)

I will add another way somewhen.

Yes - then it would stay in the other profile. Why do you lock your phone if you sleep? :)

But also your device is not on, so it wouldn't switch anyway :)

The option is "only ask if already active" - and "locked" is not "active"

Also you have options not to be asked before GoodNite and OutOfGoodNite - perhaps that's also an idea.

OK - if you don't switch Layout, then I would say the things are fine with changing power modes, too.

Layout switching and Profile switching are complex things - and there are so much ROMs, Devices, Sense Versions and User settings for WinMo - that there is no universal solution possible. Therefore I made different options to see, what's good. The default values are the best - but sometimes one or another has to be changed.

In next version you will also get something for Suspend - and that can also help you.

If I would make a "normal" scheduler, which only switches some volumes or other sytem settings, then it would be easier - but Sense+CHT-Switching needs sometimes different advanced powering, and I *hopefully* think, that the settings makes it as universal as possible. But because of such cool user feedbacks like yours with also trying the things and telling me - I will also find the special cases, which perhaps should be considered next times, too.

Also: There were some reports in CHT-thread, too, that Manila doesn't restart (without CHTS installed) - mostly something with widgets or tasks. Do you use something of it?

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Yeah, but this was an 2.02-issue - not of the final.

But yes - it can be something with the device. Especially the RAM (or the powering :) )

the control app of CHTS calls SwitchGui if you change a Layout, otherwise nothing is running in C#/.net. All in C.

I see in your Settings, that you don't switch it with Layouts, correct?

Are you familiar with registry-editor (or TotalCommander for it) ?

I would need an extract of your complete HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel - perhaps there's something special in TD2.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Oh, nice :) Thanx for feedback!

I made the wallpaper changer to save the battery. So it detects power modes and also locks, alarms, and so on.

Could you do 2 things for me? :

1. make a chtstateLOG over an hour? Especially while sometimes on AC, sometimes on battery. Sometimes locked for 10 min, sometimes unlocked Wallchange all 5 minutes.

2. I would need HKCU/Software/CHTScheduler Registry-Export directly after a switch, which doesn't occured.

Please also observe (and note) the values "wallpaper.Lastchange*" - and tell me these values, if possible, They tell me internal, why a wallpaper wasn't changed. A reg-Export-File is one enough at first.

For Roaming: You really want also "Roam only" ? That's for other users a quite dangerous option.

Atm CHTS prevents the user before Roaming, Battery drain, and so on :)

... do you use Home+Partner network or really "Roaming only"?

In every case I must do it as a very secure advanced option, that nobody accidently activates it.

Nice that the other things are running fine for you.

You´re welcome amigo ;)

Thank you my Friend for this great app and letting me be part of it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kameirus:
well here we go its reflash time i just saved as extended layout

lets see what happens lol

wow screwed that up totally

trying again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kameirus:
dont know what im doing wrong but im saving the extended layout

and it says its saved alot of files but yet its actually only saved the basic layout and softkeys no wallpapers no sense stuff and no widgets
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Doo Doo:
you have to save a baseline first then save your extended layout then it should work after that happened to me before & this is what i did to fix it

This Is From The Manual

Then it's recommended to save a Baseline - this is simply your whole Sense layout (without quicklinks) that you can always revert to it, if you mess up your Sense because of an incompatible Skin app - or you simply don't like what you have installed. This Baseline is also accessable after reinstallation of CHT or even after flashing a new ROM or Hard Reset, because it is stored on your storage card. You will find it in the left softkey-menu as Save Baseline.

Afterwards it's recommended to save the current Layout also, using a name you choose. Just switch to any profile (e.g., SaveMyDay) and from there, Layouts, and create a new Layout. Save it as "extended" and with Quicklinks. You can then use this saved Layout in each profile, and can also load it seperately with CHTSwitchGui.

HINT: CHTS will not allow you to save a Layout if it doesn't find a Baseline saved for your current ROM and (if installed) your current version of CHT. This is for your protection.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola Kameirus, sad to read you´re having issues... Have you tried to install it (CHTS) again? Did you have any probs. with CHT or CHTE or anything else?

What about your Storage Card? Did you get a CHTS Message reminding you that you haven´t saved a BaseLine yet for your new ROM. "Do you want to use this Layout also as BaseLine?" If you got the message, wht did you do? Accept and save BaseLine, or cancel and went on to try to save extended Layout?

Hola Doo Doo, thanks for quoting the manual, or do you know it by heart ;)

See, the HINT is great, this means tnat CHTS will show you a pop up message reminding you of this, and allowing you at that moment to save the BaseLine :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
yes, great explained - only as addition: In 2.10 it's only more a hint, so not as restrictive as in 2.02.

If something isn't saved, then you can check it in your sd-card (_chtscheduler\Layout...) if much files are saved. if yes, perhaps the restore is denied by your winmo system. And WinMo pretends that all worked.

Thanx DooDoo for the hint,very useful.

btw: For Widgets there is no difference between "standard" and "extended".

I can imagine, that the .xml's for the widgets haven't been installed by their .cab's. to windows. (chtwidget...xml)

sometimes the Rom's need the basic installation of widgets after flash, that CHTS can restore their former appearence then by Layout.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BogieDE:
Hi folks,

well CHT is the best shell extension I ever had, that's for sure!

Unfortunately I'm experiencing a problem with the actual versions of CHT, CHTE and CHTS:

switching manually to an other profile (mode: manual, via the switching link). the last message I see ist: "Wechsel zu "ProfileXY"? (Sense wird neu gestartet, wenn das Layout zugewiesen ist)" Ja/Nein.

Pressing YES, the message stays on the display, the YES is obviously selected, but that's it ... I've to reset my phone.

After the reboot, the profile is selected (can see it because of the profile icon), but e.g. the wallpaper which I configured in the profile separatly is not shown.

I'm using

- HTC HD2

- Energy ROM (5.2.28244) (CHT 2.0 final cooked in)

- Manila 2.5.20191914.0

- every profile has it's own saved layout to switch to

- certs is installed

- DINIK-Anastasia Taskbar 1.5 installed

Well actually I'm really unable to solve this by changing the configuration. I explicitly made a complete new installation yesterday (new ROM, new CHTx and new setup of the profiles - no saved layouts or settings), but the freezes still occur.

If you need more information, please just let me know.

Thanks for your help!

Automatic wallpapers

Hello,

I got a question on wallpaper change, cause I´m a little bit lost :p

If my Work profile finishes at 17h00, and restarts at 08h00, what time interval do I have to set to have a new one at 8h00 ?

( cause today, morning´s wallpaper didn´t changed when at work !? )

Cheers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
sometimes it takes longer for copy all - have you tried simply to wait a bit longer?

next time could be faster.

try it while on AC , ok?

plz feedback then.

(yeah-and tell me the active processes, please)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BogieDE:
Well, I'm now waiting since about 30 minutes. I guess there is no chance that something changes.

Is there any possibility to create a logfile to check where CHTS is stopping or in a loop or what ever?

Thank you.

Bogie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ega2oo2:
Yes, I don't switch layouts. I put my HKCU_ControlPanel.reg in dropbox feedback folder.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I need the running processes while you wait - if possible. that can be done via chtstateLOG.

Aloso I need the extraction of hkcu/software/chtscheduler for compare perhaps.

and chtssettings.xml

could you attach it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BogieDE:
Well, did there anything change regarding the StateLog?

I followed: "HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila" key "CHTI.State.Logging" as Dword and set it to 1. you will get a new directory on sd-card with name "chtstateLOG"

But no directory was created. And I found no logfiles. (In the 2beta it still worked).

Meanwhile I attached the reg entries and the xml file.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Halo Chef, it´s by assigning a different wallpaper to the profile you´re switching to/from. So, check your "initial" wallpaper in Work4Me - Wallpapers ;)

If it´s the same as during the prior profile, you´ll just have to change one of them... and please also make sure that "Don´t change Wallpaper" is not marked ;-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
in my example

My profiles have different directories for Wallpapers.

I set an Interval, let´s say 12h.

I finish my work at 17h00

The day after, this profile reloads at 08h00. ( more than 12h after )

Why the wallpaper does not change ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dayznfuz:
Thanks for the quick reply. I'll get you the info this weekend.

As for the roaming, yeah. I only want it to roam (not use my home network at all). I've got free data and voice roaming in the US, so roaming's not a problem for me. The issue is that at work, I have only 1 bar on my home network, but the roaming partner has 4+ bars. So what happens is that my phone constantly bounces back and forth between networks. My battery dies in less than 4 hours. If I roam only and turn WiFi on, the phone only loses half of it's charge all day long.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] congusto:
Quick switch to On the Way possible?

Micha, what would be the fastest way to switch to the On the Way profile? At the moment I need 6 steps (at least, that's how I do it):

1) Select profile overview

2) Scroll down to On the way

3) Select On the way profile

4) Scroll down or up to "switch to" button

5) Press the switch button

6) Confirm I want to switch.

It would be awesome if I could select the profile by pressing a specially asigned Quicklink (that would be the fastest way).

Or... change the order of profiles in the profile overview (no scrolling necessary)

Or.... your turn! since I didn't find any of these two possibilities.

On a normal day I'd use no more than three profiles (Day, On the way and Sparetime, may be an automatic switch (the only automatic one) to Night).

If I could switch quickly between the three.. that would be really great.

Thanks in advance for your answer.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Same behaviour is back today :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Have you set "ignore wallpaper" - perhaps it takes the saved wallpaper of your Layout?

That's a good reason for non-drainage :)

Hey Francesco - therefore you need anyway a Manila Restart and it can't be changed by wallpaper.. some graphics are already saved by a Layout - and if you just look into chtwidget_basic.xml and do an own .xml with the some files, you want to switch (name it "chtwidget_dagosjt.xml" or so and copy it to the others in \windows) - then CHTS can switch them automatically by Layout. So you can enjoy them, if you simply switch between the Layouts.

So CHTS can already do it :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
..and I already asked, if 23:58 gives the same 2h result in your ROM? :)

Yeah - perhaps difficult to find in this long thread - it is already possible (I add it also to FAQs) :

<program path>\CHTScheduler\CHTSwitchGui.exe -switchbyuser:sparetime

would switch to sparetime (written lower-case!!!)

This you can do with the other both profiles, then you can switch them.

This is the preparation for the Quicklinks, which will come quite soon, that you can directly choose them in CHT-Menu (and some more ;) )

So far you must do it on your own with this command - ok?

Regard

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] congusto:
Many thanks! It works, this is what I did (as a reference for me later, hope it also helps others):

1) Make a copy of the CHTSwitchGui.lnk file in windows\startmenu to sparetime.txt

2) Added the command line parameter in Word, like this 59#"<program path>\CHTScheduler\CHTSwitchGui.exe" -switchbyuser:sparetime

3) Saved it as txt, then renamed it to sparetime.lnk

4) Created a Quicklink to this file

Bogie
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Sorry, but I think, I can't be fast alone. I'm mostly with my handy online, there I have no 7z to look into the log or reproduce the settings.

But what you can do now after the logging, is to increase the suspend time now.

(settings - system - energy options - backlight and there the timeout for device off)

I can imagine that your device suspends too early. is there anything which forces suspend on your device?

I try your settings, when I'm at home, ok? (I have much to do @work, too)

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BogieDE:
Thank you.

I really don't want to bug you !! I just have the problem, that no LOG is created. Adding the Registry key, no directory is created and no logfiles are written.

Did the settings change for creating logfiles?

Thank you very much for your support.

(Maybe you can suggest me a special ROM you didn't experience any problems at all ...? That would be a simple and easy solution ;-) )

Thanks again

Answers

No, it´s off.

Oups sorry, I thought it was a joke :o It´s not changing every 2 hours, it´s every 2 minutes. Meanwhile I set different values, and it still continues to change every 2'.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Switch the "ignore wallpaper" to "on" - otherwise the Wallpapers of your saved Layout can be loaded and you have to wait until next schedule time, that it switches.

and for 23:59 / 58 - no, it was no joke. computers are sometimes very exact... but I tried it - and it works fine. I made change at 11:48 o'clock and in quicklink I see 11:47 as next schedule time for wallpaper. so that's good.

so please feedback for 23:58 and also try 11:45 or so. I think your profile doesn't last 24 hours, so if you use such high timeouts, it is more like an "initially change", because of this high timeout.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
no problem, mate.

I only can't open 7z as far as I'm not at home.

I've wrote a PM to you.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
In fact, what does it mean 23:58 ? it means that from original swap, it waits 23:58 to swap next one ?

( independent of other profiles that could happens meanwhile ? )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
haven't I wrote it to manual?

for each profile you can choose independent the wallpaper scheduling.

so if you change the profile, you also change the timeout.

so if you choose a timeout of 23 hours 59 minutes and meanwhile you change your profile, then also the wallpaper-timeout for the other profile is no more valid.

only the timeout of the current profile is valid. otherwise it would be anyway confusing.

So I think you are confusing yourself now :)

but I hope, you understood now this longer explanation.

Thanks very much for this superb app!!! I used SPB Phone Suite, Phoneweaver and G-alarm but I like CHTS more. Gives me much more possibilities and doesn't slow down my HD2. I am happy! Just for the info:

I have to choose "full power on for swich" otherwise the profile does change but the wallpaper only changes when I wake up my device.

Just a question: after an automatic switch (locked device) it is normal that the phone is unlocked?
