TeDeV also reported having the same battery problem although I don't know if we all have Touch HD's or not. Would be handy to hear from you both to see if it really is a Touch HD issue.

Yes the Wifi or 3G really hammers battery life. I don't use my phone much per day. Average daily usage is an hour of reading an ebook, general use, couple of calls, updating things via wifi, etc. However compared with other phones I've had, the battery certainly does last well. Just not with this app, but then you expect things like this when beta testing.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Well, one for two so far huh? :-) Ok, I see what you are saying here. For me just now, trying to reproduce this, I find that they come down to the top offthe CHT softkeybar, and just above the slider tab, when popped up. Definitely not enough room for text there. Are you using a rom with CHT cooked in, or cab install? WM 6.1 or 6.5.x? Sorry if you had that info posted already. Am mobile at the moment and wasnt sure. If so, Ill see it in a moment after posting.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] congusto:
Great work, this update. Major indeed!

Found a few bugs that were already mentioned, so I won't go into those, but this one I couldn't find:

I've organized level0 as my "contact" level, with each page being a contact category (Family, work, hobby, etc). So on each page I added free links, all refering to contacts. My girlfriend has a bigger link on every page, off course (which may be part of the problem, that's why I mention it). Most of the pictures/icons are based on their facebook profile. What I found is that spontaneously free links are moved from one page to another, so far mostly to page 1 (the most left page). I tried to work around it by exporting the CHT Editor settings and importing them back as soon as icons were moved. That works, the contacts are back in place for a while, but I loose all the pictures of the contacts in the process, which isn't very practical, since I removed the label from those contacts that have a picture in their profile.

Hope it can be fixed in v2.0 final.

Nope, nothing...Still the same behaviour...Anyway it's not a showstopper for me, just an annoyance i would not like to have :) Thanks for the help santod
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] antaed:
I would like to share a few more things I’ve found since my previous report:

Part 1 - The Crash

Yesterday morning my phone had a weird and sudden freeze in Home Screen. I had to push the Red Button but after boot my Manila was all messed up (task and softkey bars were greyed out, my CHT settings were not loaded, etc.). It’s no use to wonder why it happened because unfortunately I don’t remember what my actions were just before that :o. I do remember very clearly what I did not do:

-	I did not install anything;

-	I did not touch any settings, my setup was completed the night before;

-	I did not start any app/program other than Opera and Mail, perhaps.

To solve the issue I tried to:

-	Restart Manila – no success;

-	Disable Manila > Reset the phone > Enable Manila – no success;

-	Import CHTE settings – no success, I had the first CHTE version installed;

-	Reload CHTS baseline – no success;

(CHTSwitchGui didn’t work either because I did not save any layout)

To recover I had to:

-	Uninstall CHTE, CHTS, CHT;

-	Soft reset;

-	Install CHT, CHTE R3, CHTS;

-	Import saved settings with CHTE R3 – BINGO! :D

Still, after all this my Data Connection did not work anymore. To make it work again I had to delete my connection settings and edit again.

EDIT:

While I was writting this my phone had frozen again, this time it didn’t want to wake up from standby. I pushed the Red Button and everything came back just fine, lucky me :D! The only things worth to mention are these:

-	I remember the L/R swiping bug occurred just before the phone went to sleep (and I did not fix it by restarting Manila);

-	I have CHTS installed but I did not run it and I did not save any baseline;

-	My CHT setup is slightly different from the one I had yesterday. I rebuilt everything from scratch just to make sure I have a clean and error-free configuration (yesterday I played a lot with the CHT settings and I wanted to avoid any potential bug hidden in my previous setting).

...to be continued :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamtide11:
Great work, thanks man, I feel better now :D

To answer your questions: It is a cooked in version of CHT2, so no cab.

It running WM6.5.x. The ROMname is GoaTrip in version 5.9 (running as beta as well). It is a ROM with german localisation and even CHT2 is localized.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Yes, there were some important notes for rom chefs that went out regarding WinMo reg settings when cooking in CHT 2.0.

This could very easily be the cause of your alignment issue, as far as I can gather.

I suggest checking your registry @ HKCU/Software/HTC/Manila

For

CHT.WinMo.6.5.x

and

CHTI.WinMo.6.5.X

settings and see that they are set to a value of 1.

Part 2 – Bugs

1.	Icon issues

-	The CHTS free-links have an erratic behaviour. At one moment the Switch Profile and Switch Mode free-links got covered by the white CHT_switch_silent.png icon. Another time, the Switch Profile icon was replaced by the CHT_no_icon.png + CHT_taskicon.png icons overlapping. I had to remove and add them again several times to fix the issue. Also, in the Add Quicklink menu, the CHT_no_icon.png is being previewed instead of my custom CHTS icons (although they are being shown correctly in home screen).

-	The icons for the Stocks and Messages tabs seem to be doubled. The CHT_tab_messaging.png and CHT_tab_inforwidget.png are assigned for the tabs and the CHT_tab_stocks.png and CHT_tab_messages.png seem to be doing nothing.

-	The icons for the Footprints Tab and for System Uptime status link are missing. I created some myself and named them with respect to the apparent rule. CHT_tab_footprints.png works for the Footprints Tab but neighter CHT_status_system_uptime.png nor CHT_status_systemuptime.png work for the status link, the CHT_no_icon.png is being shown instead.

2.	For your investigation…

-	Perhaps the L/R swiping issue occurs only if the CHT Lockscreen has multiple pages. It never happened to me while I had a single page CHT LS. I’m not sure if this is true but maybe it’s worth investigating.

I'm sorry if any (or all) of these were reported before.

Thanks again for making me so happy with my phone. If HTC or MS don't hire you it's their loss but they should at least build a Co0kie Monster statue to be seen from the moon instead... :p

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] zeta1988:
Hello friends, I use the TOPAZ system 21892 Manila2.5.20191914.0, using the latest Co0kie's Home Tab v2.0.0 Beta, use HTC lock screen, Incoming call sometimes only have ring ,NO panel, how can I do? By the way, if you use hdmini or htc lock screen, there is no problem, help me, thank you

I'm sorry my English is not good
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamtide11:
Er..., well now I'm a bit frightened :).

I found both CHT and CHTI sections in the registry, but for instance in CHT it is like:

CHT.Widget.Snap....

next is

CHT.WLevels.Circle.

No CHT.WinMo in between. Same for CHTI.

Am I really looking for 'CHT.WinMo....' ?

Anyway, I don't want to overdo this here. You gave me more good info than I hoped for. If your answer would take you to much time, is just installing the cab feeding me completely? I wouldn't mind to go with english menus.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
The exact keys are

CHTI.WinMo6.5.x

and

Co0kie.WinMo6.5.x

Last two CHT entries in alphabetical order

You can certainly install the cab and I was even going to suggest it since it sounds as if your rom is missing some essentials there.:D

Please see the first post in the thread for the cab download, and while you're there, grab your language pack too.

I think this will sort your rom based issues.

It really is just a matter of how it was cooked in I believe.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Thanks for your detailed reports Antaed.

I just wanted to inform you, that we are aware of the unfinished icons and I simply wanted to provide you with the name of the System Uptime one. :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
don't know if already mentioned before, but when using manila style lockscreen the keyboard icon appears at the bottom when phone got directly locked while having a textmessage opened in background. i'm able to press the icon making the keyboard appear even if the screen should be locked. keyboard starts messing up with the graphics then :P

noticed another weird behaviour in the past days. after pressing the powerbutton making the lockscreen to appear i do actually see some artefacts for just a millisecond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
6.5.x rom with CHT cooked in?:rolleyes:

Or did you install by cab?

Any rom and device info you can give, helps us to help you.:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] millski:
Addon EXT

Has anybody succesfully created an EXT of the addon widgets yet? Not a cab install on boot, an actual EXT... I tried the method explained in the first post(s) but can't seem to get it working. If any chef has got them to work would they please share? Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Neo84:
Some menus are changed from German to English in my rom (I have installed the languagepack)

Some examples:

- in sense email-tab the left softkey says inbox instead of posteingang

- also in the email tab the options at the right softkey are partly in english.

- the menus in the messages/email is in english

Nothing major but I thought I'd mention it. Keep it up!

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
sorry, forgot to mention :)

it's a hd2 running the latest artemis v34.5 rom with winmo 6.5.5

cht and chte got installed by cab
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
Thanks for that.

Does this only occur with Manila style locker, or all 3 styles?

I assume it would be all 3 if any.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steviewevie:
This isn't really anything to do with CHT. But anyway, I presume you're using an EnergyROM. Because recently NRG has introduced a feature that he calls "Compact Start Menu", which is implemented using QuickMenu. So QuickMenu is the name of an application which anyone can download and install on their WM phone. NRG has taken it, tweaked the look of it slightly and cooked it into his ROMs as an optional "Compact Start Menu" feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steviewevie:
Go into CHT Editor, into "Pages and Levels", and change the settings under "Home Swipe Levels".
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steviewevie:
OK, I see that's set to "on" and to mark it as read after 2 seconds. I assumed that this was when you were using the SMS widget.

Why does it seem to use this setting if you're not looking at the SMS widget right there and then, and even if you have the SMS widget removed ! Surely that's a bug ? Are you saying it the intended behaviour ? Because I can't see how that would be any use. Maybe I'm missing something though ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
I was not saying that it is the intended behavior for the widget setting to override the tab setting, when the widget is not enabled. Just was trying to track down the cause of your issue.

If that is indeed the cause and you don't have the widget enabled, then that would be something to be looked into. That's all.:)

This may only effect those with CHT cooked in, or maybe only certain roms with CHT cooked in. Or maybe all CHT users. But I have not heard any other complaints of it.

These are things we can't know without the users help, right?

Whether it's Alpha, Beta, or Final version of anything, it takes many tests on different test beds to come to a conclusion sometimes.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] steviewevie:
ok cool. Sorry if it sounded like I was attacking you, I wasn't at all, just trying to understand. I'm good at asking lots of questions :D

Yes, I did even try removing the widget, and it still seemed to "read" it straight away.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anubis.genix:
apparently it does on all 3, just tried on the hd mini style locker with the same result as manila style locker :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
No worries and I added a little more to the post above. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tripio:
So, getting back to the phoning issue. I installed CHT v2.0 and tried to make a phone call. It stalled for a while. Some 5 to 6 seconds. I tried making a few calls later and I cannot say that there is an actual phoning issue as with CHT V1.8.5. In 90% of all made calls, the phone dialed immediately so I guess this has been taken care of.

There is another issue which others might have mentioned but I have missed it somewhere in this fast growing thread. :) Anyhow, there is no text under Quick links even though Hide text and Hide text background are turned off in CHT Editor.

Just to make this little more accurate. I am using Level 1 - Main home layout with 2 rows of Quick links under the original flip clock and appointments (date header). On home layout, there has never been a single line of text under any of the quick links. When I flip up quick links and see the full grid (I am using 4x4 grid), some text would be shown under the quick links but not for every single quick link. After some modifications have been done in CHT Editor (not related to quick link text) and after resting HTC Sense, all the text under every single quick link has disappeared. This might sound irrelevant but it is very useful to have this text shown under quick link icons.

So, did I do something wrong or is this a small bug? Sorry if I am highlighting already raised issue.

...quick edit... Is there a way I could move from one home page to another (left to right and vice versa) and have the clock and appointments fixed on the top so that only quick links are changed like it was with V1.8.5?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agrickard:
I had this and couldn't work it out for a while. When on 'edit home layout', press and hold on the quicklinks area until the pop-up menu, well, pops up(!), then click on 'show labels'. You may also have to resize the quicklinks, to give enough room for the text.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] novaboy525:
Hi ,

First of all, i want to congratulate everyone for that awesome thing! CHT 2 is truly exquisite !

I'm using it for about 3 days non stop without using CHTS.

so here my fisrt bug report, hope it'll be useful to you guys and if any other users already posted a similuar issue, i'm sorry, i just didn't see it when exploring the 64 pages.

so, i've constated that free links filled with contacts linked to facebook accounts just change location after a certain time. first i thought that it was caused by htc sense contacts updates every 2 hours, but those free links hadn't move for over 11 hours, and i suspect that it occurs when synchronization via activesync is done (it's about the time elapsed during my last synchro and the re-appearence of that issue)

As you can see on the sreenshots below, those free links all go to the first left page

My custom mail page (the left one, see page indicator on the top right on the pic)

* see Pic sreen01 *

My custom sms page (7 free links contacts on 2 lines with 5 havins facebook updates)

* see Pic sreen02 *

Locksreen page (less visible but, you can see that the free link contact is a bit to the left)

* see Pic sreen03 *

one last report, the backsrceen of other tabs are being messed up since this morning (dunno what's the causes), the today screen is superposed with the other in backscreen

Today tab

* see Pic sreen05 *

Internet tab (same issue for every tab in fact, i've set a different wall paper for the other tabs and today tab)

* see Pic sreen04 *

Thanks, for reading, hope that it's clear enough.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] dreamtide11:
Thanks for the advice. I did as suggested and installed CHT by cab, together with the language pack. RegKeys are all there.

Things are smoother now, but sorry :D, I stay put with the one that describes the lowest point, directlinks can be pulled to. I have attached a small snippet of the screen. The area with the red square is the space I'm talking about (almost the height of the rss-widget for instance. Actually I now put it there, but it does not look good). I have the feeling that this cant be resolved easily, which is ok. I just want to ensure, that this is at least on s.o. list :D

Thanks a lot for your help and patience :).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
WOW, i'm in 2 minds if i should use the beta or not, as i do use my phone a lot and cant risk any bugs...

anyway, sounds and looks fantastic, cant wait to see the final release!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] stathis95194:
Well i'm getting all sorts of weired behaviour from CHT 2.0. In addition to the problem with SenseTasks and the popup Complete|Delete not working, my data connection is set to off all the time by what i presume is a setting in either CHT or CHTS. Even though i turned everything that have to do with Data to be handled by Sense my data connection keeps setting to off. Any idea what setting might do that?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tripio:
Thank you for a quick answer. :) You solved this text issue for me. :)

What about that home screen switching (to left and right)? On V1.8.5 you could swipe only quick link icons without moving the clock and appointments when you swiped only over them. When you would swipe over the clock, you would actually swipe through tabs. I guess I am missing something in CHT Editor because I just cannot get to that feature. When I swipe, I always move all of the items on the screen.

And of course, huge thnx to the author of this great piece of software! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agrickard:
Clocks not updating time

I have a different issue with the clocks. All of them seem to lag in updating, even the main weather one I have on my home page. However, the small text clock, analogue clock and digital add-on usually lag by at least 30 mins. I have not set them to different time zones (in fact I can only find the option to change the analogue one anyway.

Any ideas?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] agrickard:
I haven't tried this, but there is the option to pin the different items. I think santod possibly mentioned this previously in reply to someone asking about quicklinks?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tripio:
Cheers mate! Works like a charm! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MalekoUK:
Well decided to give it ago!

Previous Cookies uninstalled fine, and new one installed all good!

First thing I noticed was the speed increase! A lot more responsive and quicker, and thats coming from a very fast and smooth experience of the previous version!!

When using the Touch X Taskmanager (adding the drop down menu top right), when you press it, it brings the original soft key buttons to the front...maybe there's not a way round this.

When you press the slider button, it always starts off on the calendar instead of the Home, so if you let go of it, you will always goto the calendar.

I sometime see screen corruption for a split second when going into the start menu.

Thats all for now! Sorry if these have already been posted :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] neo0815:
great work cookie.

i've got a small problem though..

somtimes when i switch my hd2 back on, the cht ls is blank.. only the icons on the top of the screen appear... i can unlock it even though if i hit the unlock slider blind.

any idea on that?

Test on HD2

Hello,

Thank you for this good work. It's GREAT.

My rom 2.5.1921

I have chainfire 3D ...

On my HD2 many bug unfortunately impossible to remove the shortcuts, even impossible to stop the phone, the hardware buttons no longer worked. Forced to reset the HD2 to get out.

I have tried many time.

I wait for the official version to try again.

Is it possible to classify the pgm per family via a shortcut?

Thank you again for your job.

Best Regards

Bernard

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Ummagumma:
Well the other guy (stuntdouble ?) does have HD - looked up his previous posts.

I fully charged the phone in the evening and still had 100 this morning, so at least white idle there's no issues. Wonder if the new widgets could have any impact on battery. I am not using them or CHTS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Kaherdin:
Battery and free links (problems/bugs)

My contribution to the bug-list as follows;

1. Battery

Installed CHT 2.0.0 yesterday, soft reset, set up some home screens (4) and added the battery indicator on the first page/screen (not default page).

Gave the device a

full charge

(100% batt.), went to bed and when I woke up 8h later the batt % was down to 10%.

This is very strange for me because my device usually works for atleast 48h!

2. Free links removal

When wanting to remove a free link (a contact) I press and briefly hold the link, the alternatives pop up, and I lift my finger to press "Remove". When I lift my finger the alternatives disappears. I have tried this several times, and after 10 to 20 tries the "menu"/alternatives sticked and I could remove the free link.

Adding a screen shot of my device's memory usage...

I have not experienced any critical problems with this open beta. When I learn how to use the new features in the best ways I will marry CHT, love it and later make babies with it. No matter what.

(Except for when I can fool around with "Android" and make dirty dirty love with that on my Blackstone that is).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rndchef:
I am hoping to get an answer to this problem so I am asking again. Please help.

I cannot read the menu popups on the email and sms widgets because the font is in white and the email/sms background is in white. How do you change the font color of the menu font? The two font color options in CHT Editor/Widget Setting do not affect the menu font color. They only change the email font and sub font.

Is there another place to change this font color? Am I the only one with this issue? Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] leek1001:
Same problem here with my HTC TOUCH HD...

My device usally used 20% of the battery a day now it uses 20% in 1 hour...

For the shortcuts: all the text below the shortcuts disappeard.. and in CHTediter it's on.

Co0kie's works always super great i hope that this will be just bugs in the beta..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
It sounds as if you have applied a transparency mod, that may have also applied to the popup menu, background graphic image as well. If you would like, I can send you a PM later today, with your missing, or invisible image. Then you should be good to go.
