Hey Moti,

yeah - long time ago - I hope you're fine - nice to see... eh ... read you.

oh, this old persistent rumour... that was 2.02, there it wasn't easy to get access to the single features. so the whole bunch was indeed too much.

but that was a half year ago - and I think chts has made much progression to fulfill user's needs.

nevertheless - if no of the features are needful for you, it's good to understand.And you're sure, that you don't need to save your CHT? :)

I think, sometimes the fun comes with playing around. I like my auto-switching wallpapers each hour and that my device goes to vibrate mode at work (by recognizing the location) and switches off unnecessary processes (states of CHT, data,...) while I'm sleeping.

(Do you have an idea, what you would personally like as feature?)

But yeah - like the whole world - nothing is a must-have - the nice-2-haves are much more funny sometimes. but still “nice“ :)

Have a good time, Moti, really nice, that you told your personal opinion.

Regards

Micha

no i get what you been saying Micha,

chtS main feature that should get used by everyone is backup sense! the rest is a bonus, whether or not chts started out that way. and if you dont need the rest then you dont need to use them but you should always backup...just in case you have out of the blue problem, whether it be a widget or skin. cause sometimes just un-installing said problem cab will possibly make matters worse (removing much needed files?) then you have to do hard reset (which it seems some that dont flash alot hate those words) but instead of those hated words...did you backup? great you did, now you dont need to hard reset and start all over.

Just some words of support

Hi Micha,

I was absent from this thread for some time for professional reasons. At this very moment I was not granted more free time but, perhaps, I finally managed to rule my time a little more better than before.

So, going to the point, I read your post regarding some frustration you have and I felt sad.

Let me tell you, (and also in benefit of the knowledge of all of the other users of the type "please urgent help needed your widget don't work what the hell is happening with CHT and CHTS I'm going to uninstall..." and so on), that CHT and CHTS changed entirely the way I use my HD2 and, believe me, I use it in highly intensive daily level in my professional life.

It has been difficult for me to keep a phone more than six months because I get tired of its limitations and feel that it does not respond to my needs.

Now, thanks to CHT and CHTS and, (it is fair to say it), more recently to SimClock V3, (let's see also what CHT Tweaks will bring), I still keep my HD2 for almost a year and I am not willing to buy another one.

Your masterpieces of software fulfil all my needs, they make my life really a lot easier, (with more than 150 calls per day, meetings, in car work, and so on, I need a tool with high stability and reliability and, thanks to you all, that is what I have.

I am not skilled in developing whatsoever so I can not give any contribution on that area. I just can give feedback, encouragement, words of support and, (when possible), a beer or two.

Feedback, encouragement and words of support, that's what I am stating here and now, to you Micha and to all CHT Team.

Please go on, don't get frustrated. The only ones that can offend and hurt us are those we respect and support us. And definitely this is not the case, you have in this thread fine examples of respect and support and even friendship.

As to the others, the ones that just complain without having said the magic words "thank you" well, ther will be always a huge mass of that sort of leeches but for sure, as I use to say, you will not invite none of them to have dinner with your family so, please don't bother with them.

Let me just remind you of a quotation from Cardinal Newman, (and I am an atheist), which paves the path I choose for my life: "A man would do nothing if he waited until he could do it so well that no one would find fault with what he has done".

Keep moving forward!

Hi Moti, one thing to add to what MD said in his post, even if you don't use most of the functionality of CHTS, it has some fantastic toggle switches and quicklinks that add to CHT. Also, the ablility to generate a full sense backup before trying any themes or clocks gives a fantastic fallback if something gets screwed up. It has saved me many times and alowed me to avoid extra hard resets of the phone.

Edit: I missed the page after where everyone else said this better than I did!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ForgetfulGuru:
Woah! that's it,

Just as I start to learn all about making icons study the creation of xml files for theme backups (cause I found my favourite application in the world) everybody else pisses the man off.

Just cause the ROM you got on your install crashes and falls over everytime you try to show off to the guy next to in class.

Stop trying to load 100 apps, 99 of them are all works in progress or would be if the development hadn't stop six months ago cause the dev bailed out and went to Andriod. 80 are all trying to access the web (baddly through SDKs that have not been updated in god knows how long.)

Take a look at the thread count on the 3 most popular ROMs (Not offence to the DEVs) they are all works in progress. Why look at the weekly up-date they need. 34,000+ all saying mostly the same thing ( I can't get it to Work and it's all your fault.)

Why cause even after Microsoft have moved on to the next Gen, there are guys giving up their own time to develop, maintain and fix all the broken little pieces that were left behind.

I wunder how many of the haters actually took the time to read ALL of the info in post ONE + TWO, or even just the FAQ.

Man am I going off on one... :( / :confused: / :eek:

Micha don't quit please.

I just got into this and I am loving making all these icons for the apps.

Here's a shocking quote from the bottum of post one

Take a break spend some time with your family, feel the love man.

Then come back to us refreshed and full of fight.

Now I'm going to feel really embarassed when I post my new icon set. :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
I was going to write a pretty long post with all the fabulous and usefull features of CHTS, but at then end, I´ll just say this:

- CHTS allows me to be a CHT Addon Widget Tester, and not having to HR my device :D because it saves my butt and I can always switch to a safe Profile or load a SenseBackUp :p

Muchas gracias Micha, and let´s keep going :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ForgetfulGuru:
@ BHS Your right man, either people get it or they don't.

There is no use in praising the vitues of an application that automatically switches your phone to silent when you are in a meeting when some people reading this will be the type who were in front of me in a que in the supermarket today. Phone rings really F***king loudly and she turns to the cashier and said hold on a minute I need to take this it's my pal.

6 other people in the que while MISS thing yaks on her iPhone about shoes.... 10 deep breaths as I let my blood come down from bioling point. Ah there I go again all of topic will trying to make sense.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
You´re right Billy :D You know, once I got the "hang" of CHTS, I started using it as a "Theme saver & switcher" :eek: Now, please tell me, who else can change the entire look of their phone within a few seconds without any installs or hard resets? Even if you don´t want to use or take advantage of all the advanced options within CHTS that really turn our devices into "Smart Phones", how else can you also turn your device into a "chamaleon" :p

With CHTS we are at a point where we can use several different CHT, Sense or WinMo themes including sliders, all tabs, program icons, taskbars, keyboards, dialers, etc... And switch between them, back and fourth within seconds, including all skins, comm settings or profiles? And this is not including some of the planned changesupdates within CHT & CHT Editor themselves :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ForgetfulGuru:
Big benifit for me

I'm a support worker. Working with people that have different tolerences to noise and interuption.

It is easy for my employer to say all phones should be off while we are on a support shift, but still managers do need to get in touch with us. (far to often I might add).

It's easy done now, I arrive at client one who doesn't mind workers taking calls, as long as the phone dosen't ring too loud.

Client two for the day is a very sensative person who suffers from epilepsy, triggered by loud and sunden noises, you guessed any easy switch in profile as I arrive all taken care of by CHTS & Loco.

Lunchtime I'm at our drop in flat with Wi-Fi (woo hoo aren't we all modern) and I don't need to think about phone goes all bells and whistles.

Not even thinking about as I travel in between supports my phone switches back to day settings GPRS & Network on along with starting my favorite music player auto-playing from where it stop at just the right volume.

Can Android or iPhone do any of that, I don't remember mine being able to and it certainly can't think of any app I've seen doing it all for free.

Simply the best.

[Q]S2U2

Is it possible to integrate wallpaper changing in S2U2 for one of the next versions?

Thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
I do not change themes in my use of S2U2. If you can tell how you would change them other than going into settings, this would be helpful. It may be just changing some registry values. In other word, you may already be able to do it without "integrating" it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Thank you again

This suite of products is just tops, it really just is.

I just had a moment when I could not get the location service to work, but that was because I had not switched on Cell Location in MachCell :D

Now I just need to work out how to get the profile to be timed at home with quieter longer wake up, but to be 'day' when I leave home! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
By "integrating" into CHTS I mean to change S2U2- wallpapers directly and automatically via CHTS by changing profiles based on time/ location/ weather ...

CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RoryB:
Ok, after you change a theme does S2U2 start fresh the next time your phone locks? I mean does the first start text scroll along the bottom. I ask because I am checking if it is stopped and then restarted by the theme change process.

I am guessing you would have to stop S2U2 by running ilock and waiting for it to stop. Then you would change the registry values that define the theme and it's images. After that you would restart ilock.

I could write a MortScript to do this. I would need to know the registry values. I am not sure I could write one that would let you pick the theme very easily. The easiest way would be to write a separate script for each theme.

If your phone is locked at the time of theme change it would unlock.

Of course this is still not integrated, but a work around.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pigreca:
very interesting....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
yes, CHTS can use xml-/txt-files for saving/restoring themes and registry-values. therefore it's also able to prevent the most free-/quicklink-jumps and also all keys of personal needs.

in post #6 in whitepaper this is described, so s2u2 could also be added. so also graphics & skins of s2u2.

@chancer63: but you also want to get s2u2 changed each xx minutes with chts-wall-changer, I assume, right?

I will look, that I'll add it to next version - not sure, because new Sense Sdk is a good step, but in wall menu of chts, I have found a little issue of sense sdk, so I must look, if I have anyway to change something. so I can integrate.

edit: I read only the posts from yesterday - yes Rory, this can work, I think also without ilock-stopping, because it checks only 2 keys for walls in s2u2 at each lock. one for portrait, one for landscape. so I will try it, too, as I anyway have to change something in wall-code of chts for new sense sdk. but perhaps your script is a better solution for s2u2. thanx!

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
yeah, I also switch often between machcell and basic cht to look and I also forgot it sometimes.

oh - do you know "location activation"-cht-toggle? this is for fast dis-/enabling Loco, if you want no change for some hours. this is good visible, if it's off or on without calling Loco-Gui for that.

for the change, you mentioned. use another profile for home than "day" and configure chts, that it should use timed profile in unknown locations. and timed profile is "day"

for "Home" use not timed, use a Profile, e.g. "spare time" and assign it to home location. then this is prefered by chts, and if you leave home and location is getting unknown, it will switch to "day"

in next version, you can combine timed&location. so a time switch will be only made in a valid location for it. so e.g. if you set timed from 8am to 6pm to "work4me", but only in "work"-location, then this timed switch will be only made, if you are in work at 8am. if you arrive at 9am, then chtd will recognize, that you are only too late and will make this switch at 9am.and if you have vacation, the "work"-switch will completely ignored. all is working automatically and very easy to set.

so you can choose, if you combine profile by time over location or in the usual way like now, if you give location the preferation. sure that both can run together. in timed profiles without location restriction, loco will do the switch inside timed location.

... ah... difficult to explain, but better than, that you will see, that's easy. it was often wished.

and another (little secret) Loco feature will come :)

oh - but the best will be the new internal changes in theme switching. chts will be able also to save quite complicated themes as Layout. this wouldn't have been possible without BCH-Interceptor. this was a hard, great work of him! because this xml will be the new standard for chts-layouts.

And with help from osidacz, who made a configuration, it seems, that it's really possible to switch between default sense and gtx within the usual switch time (half minute or so) - because he made a good xml-configuration for this, too.

so this would be possible to toggle between much more themes - the theme-makers must simply add the changed theme files to a xml. (and widget-makers, for them is the same possible)

will be a little nice update (some days, still need some tests and little bit finalization)

greetz also in name of the whole chts-team

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chancer63:
Right. At least a day- and night- changing (or weather-depending). Thank you for looking into it. No rush, please :).

@RoryB: I know that it can be done with MortScript. IPTWeather http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=603817 ist a good option. But why another script running when (maybe) CHTS can do that as well.

CU
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grayme:
Thank you :)

The time and location will be great, it will be fantastic to be able to say if I am at work, then use the work profile, if you don't know where I am then use the day profile, but if I am at home then use a timed profile; which is currently not possible?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Not possible: it depends on the needs and how to achieve them :)

You will be able to define profiles very easy, which are time controlled, but only in defined valid locations. So you can define e.g. 3,4,5,... timed locations with the same times, which are choosen because of the Location, and outside this times, the Location will only be triggered, if the are assigned.

So - you can define something by time like "At Night, but only at home" or "At work, but only if really at work" and so on.

So you can add other behaviours to react on locations on different times. In 2.20 only one behaviour in a Location can be defined by Assignment. In 2.25 it also will be able to make that depending on the current time (if you want :) )

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Release Candidate is in test now. If there's no showstopper, then ETA is tomorrow for Release.

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Santa-Claus:
counting hours already :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Sorry, ran out of "thanks2 again, so muchas gracias for all the work you put into this dev as well as into prior ones. It´s great to see how you keep adding "user requests" into CHTS to make it even more suitable for everyone´s needs and wishes... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] osiedacz:
Ditto that!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ezzie:
see it's because of posts like this, that I have to stay up late and then get up early to make sure I have this to work with all day at work tomorrow! Thanks for all of your hard work on this and I can't wait to be able to use it!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kjhadfield:
great stuff and you and all are very appreciated even thou it may seem it goes un-noticed/said.

maybe i should tell this 2 my ol' lady too...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
:) Thanx mates :)

All tests were successful - so I will update the Thread of CHTS and Loco - please wait until I write here, that I'm finished.

Please consider then the installation instructions - CHTS and Loco are in one .cab now - so don't search for the Loco-cab :)

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
CHTS 2.25 & Loco 1.05 released now!

I think there are much wishes inside from you. e.g. to combine Profiles with Locations or S2U2-Wall-switching or killing apps.

Also something new surprises:

The biggest one is the new Hometab-Saving - now the Hometab is saved in all Sense Versions together with the Widgets/Positions/Quicklinks/Freelinks/... - completely reworked by BHS Interceptor in the configuring xml's. Also basic themes are improved to be saved/restored.

With LocoReminder you can set Remind texts, if you come to a special location. E.g. if you need something to do at work and you want to be reminded, if you arrive there

EMail-Scheduling: Now you can let CHTS schedule your Emails according to the profile. And therefore that Profile can also be assigned to Locations... you can update your Email, when you need it. E.g. in Work the Work-Email-Account, at home the private Email-Account.

New Quicklinks, a new Loco-Manual, and so on...

Full changelog below

Have Fun

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I forgot one file in .cab - so I reuploaded .cab of 2.25 - please use this.

Thanx

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Santa-Claus:
Fantastic. Absolutely great. Thanks to all of the team but especially to MichelDiamond. My children (and my wife) won´t see me for the next hours. I´m testing and trying :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dft601:
That´s great ! So I can use pocketmaxx Phonealarm for profile switching (sorry it has some good feature you probably will have in the future) and switch now sense too.

Thanks !

Mike
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antoniomistretta:
This is my old picture, in my rom without CHT!

I tested this fine program long ago!

And work fine! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
thanx you Antonio,

and sorry, that I'm such an idiot and made a mistake in About-Box, that you have made the test for pure stock Sense.

I still need confirmation for that for this version, then I can give it free for pure Sense and also all Resolutions (so for qvga, hvga,...)

Cheerz

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
as long as you don't apply the settings, nothing would be changed.

but you are right - that can be confusing. I will set the defaults completely to be deactivated, so that also an accidently apply wouldn't change anything.

(the changes after an accidently apply wouldn't do any harm, but yeah, it's better)

thanx 4 input

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] J_M_H:
Thanks for this. I spent a lot of time looking for the "lost" softkey. Maybe there is some way to make this clearer: a message in the mode program or three icons for setup, mode and GUI?

I expect that the more of this program that I understand, the more impressive it will become.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antoniomistretta:
No problem. You're welcome! :)

You have a pm! :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] conantroutman:
Well MD.....

Thanks to your latest fix I was able to switch from this........

to this.........

in the amount of time it takes to restart sense.......

(apart from changing a few icons with jwmd :p)

No more lingering free links or old layout positioning......:D

So thats saved me about......... hmm lets see about 30 mins of sense tweaking.....:D :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] le0-:
each time i try to save settings i get this notification:

unable to open file "chstate" Either it has no certificate or is missing some components - reinstall or update the file.

what do i do now? I just wanted to have some cool wallpaper changing.... :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] happyfree:
I've got a problem: when I save and apply CHTS settings, I have the message "unable to open the file chtstate"...

Any idea?

(funny, I didn't the previous post with the same problem!)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] chalex2005:
No problem, that's what I already did. One knows what to expect when dealing with betas :-)

And while I am at it: are there any plans to support some kind of "in meeting" profile and/or the "automatic" (i.e. "vibrate when in meeting") mode of HD2?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpriset:
Am I missing something:

I have the profiler set to manual(hand icon). I wait for Sense/Cookie2 to load. I select the little sun icon(current profile=SaveMyDay), then I select Work4Me(set to vibrate), click "Switch to: Work4Me", confirm YES, then Exit at bottom.

When I'm returned to Sense/Cookie2, the sun never changes and the sound icon stays the same(not vibrate). I've also tried restarting. The icon should switch to a little bulding, then sound should switch to vibrate. I was expecting to be able to toggle between profiles pretty easily. Is this working and I'm not doing it correctly?

So basicially, I can't toggle any of the profiles manually.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jpriset:
On a side note, the Automatic setting in profiles seems to switch correctly. BUT, I'm having a little issue.

I configured "Work4Me" to vibrate(ringer) but leave the system sound to 60% so I can listen to music. The profile sets at the proper time BUT when I try and listen to music there is no volume. So it doesn't seem to correctly keep the system sound on(the ringer vibrate seems to get set correctly). Can anyone confirm this issue? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
known issue - will be fixed the (few) next days. If you have no Layout assigned to a profile - it can't be switched manually.

Meanwhile you can assign a "fake" profile or use automatically mode.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
.. or simply deactivate the little quick links for tapping?

I thought, that the little quickies are for fast access to switch mode and profile and that the big menu in CHT and a quicklink to CHTScheduler as usual quicklink as well as a freelink should be enough.

If I would swap it, then much users would search for the Mode-Switcher.

But I will make the MessageBox clearer - because that is misunderstandable after a flash.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
You have CHT installed?

If not, that's the current message you get.

I will make it runable again also for Sense - but the Wallpaper changer wouldn't work without CHT, because that's a CHT feature, which is triggered by CHTS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
you mean event triggered by calender? Yes - that's planned

or do you mean timeouts for meetings generally? Then you already have it in CHTSwitchGui with "Timeouted Mode"

or do you mean something else?
