[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Thank you - also to kjhadfield and Santa Claus. It's nice to read it.

Perhaps I should add some little important things about my thoughts, only that it's understandable, what I mean:

I haven't wrote it because of "fishing for compliments" or donation or so - the "payment" for a developer of free apps in xda-devs is the download rate, the thanx, the written pleasure of a user, who has got his wished feature or a user, who is delighted by a new feature. And: recommendation.

And this recommendation is the biggest problem - therefore I write this here in CHT-thread:

At the beginning, I also made much support here for CHT, because some things concerned also the parts which I have developed. The parts, which are developed by Co0kie, are now in good hands with Mike2nl, I think.

I recommended often to use CHTS, but in the first releases of CHTS (2.00, 2.02) some people said, it would be too complex and "can" (it wasn't CHTS, but indifferent now) cause issues. My problem was, that I haven't managed it to explain, that the features can used seperately.

For complexity: The most users tells it, who haven't checked CHTS 2.16 or 2.20 or haven't installed it. I think with a little bit playing around, it's not difficult and good to understand.

The most important feature of CHTS for CHT besides the additional quicklinks is the Layout- & Sense-Saving.

And at the beginning of CHT v2, I often wrote, that if you have a problem, then restore at first your Layout. But this was mostly ignored - because it wasn't used. So with the time, it's too hard for me only to repeat this thing.

And if I look at the download rate, then CHT is installed over xda more often than 100000 times and CHTS only 10000 times. And if we count all together with cooked ROMs and other download possibilities than xda, I think CHT is used on 200000 devices, CHTS on 20000 devices.

So nearly only 10% of the users.

But: The most issues, I have read the last months, could be soluted by ~70-80% by simply restoring the Layout or sometimes FullSense-Backup, which are the main features of CHTS.

This is not the big deal and doesn't need a full understanding of CHTS (so Co0kie and me made the concept for that) :

Start CHTS - left softkey-Menu "Save Layout" and/or "Backup Full Sense" and your current CHT is saved. With Widgets, graphics, settings, position.

With CHTSwitchGui you can choose the name, which you give this saved Backup and that's it. Nothing more. Which is also described step-by-step in Quick Manual (->QuickManual pdf CHTS<-)

But almost nobody tells anybody of the users, who give hints here, repeat this recommendation - even it would solute much problems. I also added some things, which counteracts other issues, which are naturally caused by WinMo, Sense, CHT, Widgets,...

Sometime you install a Widget or a CHT-graphic-mod or a WinMo-Tweak and some things in data, graphic, Sense,... are not working anymore. Because only a RegistryKey was modified to a wrong value, a graphic file is laggy, a settings for a widget isn't compatible, a system settings of WinMo was messed up.

And for all of this things, it's good to have a Backup. And in CHT-Suite we provided the solution, which is located in CHTS.

But almost nobody recommends it and only 10% uses it, so if something is messed up, they have no really solution, because most things are not sulutable by uninstallign the last action/widget/tweak. You need a Backup. And that's very seldom to read here as advice / recommendation. (And how should a new user of CHT knows it then?)

And so I think more and more, if somebody wants it really. or if it's not really wanted.

As well for the wallpaper-changer or the Quicklinks. How often have I read, that "much" users wants Backlight-control-quicklinks or 3G-toggles or good-controlled-Wallpaper-scheduling in CHT2. I made it and afterwards: No more reaction of anybody.

So thanx for the feedbacks to my open letter so far. Really nice and appreciated!

Regards

Micha
