[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
yes, I think that's the “almost-must“ feature and therefore it's so easy to use and is also configured by CHT, so that it can automatic grow with the CHT version and is directly after CHT-re/new-install or ROM-Flash directly useable. Exactly this option was too hidden inside the profiles in first 2.02. Since 2.16 it's comfortable in left softkey menu to find. and restoring is a anyway a seperate app (chtswitchgui)

The other parts are not the lifesaver, but if I look at very old handys without WinMo or so, which were able to change their profile or color scheme... we also started with the different profiles by time and using different saved Layouts of HomeTab & Widgets.

often there were wished features for CHT like all the toggles / switches and data-control. and these things needs additional code outside manila and it was the best method to do that in CHTS. So the rest of all is only that each user gets a full control over that, what he needs at wich time (like gprs off and also not switchable by system over night, controlling backlight and so on)

A wall scheduling possibility was also wished, but who needs the same schedules the whole day and night? So this was also added to CHTS, so that all users have a flexible wall scheduler... and so on.

Then came Loco as Location-AddOn, because that time changes are not always suits to the usage of a user of his device.

2.25 wil have a nice needful feature for this locations. also something for mail and so on.

That's all “nice“ - but the Save&Restore of CHT saves in the most cases the user before re-installation of CHT, before Re-Arranging the whole items/widgets/quicklinks/freelinks, reinstall of Cht mods or themes, and also before HardReset. And even after HardReset you can use your former Layout again.

This feature has an interface for all themes and widgets, which can add additional needed files / registry settings.So CHTS is automatically compatible, if the widgets / theme-makers only add a single list in xml, which is described for them in post #6. but there is BHS Interceptor and other great guys of the team to support that - and in 2.25 it will save also the latest stuff more accurately. without that user must learn anything about. he still presses “save Layout extended“ (or standard - and the stuff is saved.

And Full-Sense saving is then the last “lifesaver“, which can restore Sense, if something is totally messed up in Sense. better than hardreset with loosing the data and installations.

All features works in background quite intelligent, so that user mustn't have a deep knowledge about Sense. He presses “Save“ and that's the only thing, that he should know is, that this button(s) exist for CHT & Sense :)

(and meanwhile chts can also compete with the most commercial schedule apps, but the basics like Layout-saving won't be neglected and simply used also as Goodie for profiling, if user wants it)

All is provided as free to use, so the most pleasure for me & team, is that you were saved before malfunctions of Sense or found useful features for your personal needs or simply having fun with the other features.

And some features are nowhere else to find in the other operating systems :)

(e.g. try to find an iApp which switches the phone to silent mode and disables data connection in sleeping room or at home, but not if you are visiting the neighbour next door in the same house - “nice“ but not a “must“ :) And the CHTS-Quicklinks/Toggles are state indicators and fast access in one thing... that's CHT :) )
