Micha,

I wanna report another strange issue. 2 of my mates @ 4pda.ru say that if they use Network OFF option to shut down GSM module in the Night profile, the device goes offline but then starts to search for a network without finding it (according to taskbar indicators) and it causes the battery drain. both of them use latest official ROM with latest radio. I use custom ROM and latest radio and do not have this problem. There are some ways in CHTS to shut down GSM module, so I can't say that it's a really big problem, but I just want you to know about this feature.

Hi MichelDiamond

Thanx for this great addon to CHT.

It works great.

Is there somewhere an overview of "open/declined(rejected)/to be implemented(at next release)" feature requests?

I think I have a couple of ideas, but it would be time wasting for everybody if I would suggest feature requests, that have allready been discussed somewhere within this topic.

An overview in one of the first 8 posts, would be great.

Keep up the good work.

grtz,

Twan

Cht not change in vibration mode

Hi Guys,

I have a problem, if in a profile such as "night" insert the vibration and take off the ring, and active profile night, the phone keeps ringing with the chime.

In practice cht scheduler can not change the parameters of tone and vibration of my phone, what could it be?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jrmstl:
Thank you :)

This is a clear answer, right ! What is the difference between "simple" and "extended" layout saving ?

That exactly is my current usage : tweaking powering and backlight, network/phone state, but neither wallpaper nor layout switching.

Allright, all were ON.

Well it is OK. I could experiment the shifting to "Night" profile while phone is locked, no problem at all. Besides I tried the "no-verbose-no-prompt" profile change for "Night" and it is all good. I fire one time a day, at "Night" time, the awesome cleanRAM, my battery is quite pleased.

Finally, the most difficult thing is to get comfortable with the effect of "Network" connectivity switch : I see the classic "phone" switch ON while having phone connectivity OFF.

I was afraid to get a serious battery drain while not getting phone off in a more basic way but in fact I'm not sure there is a difference.

Good for me, let's keep on like that.

Great job, I say it again
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
It would be boring, if there would be nothing to play around with :)

And there are so much different devices, ROMs, system apps, winmo/Sense-settings, tweaks and so on, which can interfere.

So I can't make a "one way for all"-app - but I think it's a good compromise between flexibility and stability.

"Extended" and "Standard" - have I also forgotten to tell it in Post #2?

Standard=Save of HomeTab&Widgets

Extended=Save also of whole Sense theme

Oh - thank you, Vadim!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curtin88:
Hi. Sorry if this question has been asked before, I had searched within this thread, but couldn't find the answer.

May I enquire whether there is a name-convention for naming the file.png for wallpapers in different categories, e.g. WakeUpTime, AfterNoon, etc.?

Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] santod040:
No, no naming convention is necessary.

Just point your chosen profile to the wallpaper directory you wish to use for that profile. In order to do this, select schedule wallpaper for chosen profile.

You will then have the option to set the directories for each orientation, etc,.

You can have different wallpaper folders on your device, and then appoint one to each profile/hometab/lockscreen/Start Menu/landscape/etc,.

I use a different one for each profile, and also then have wide wallpaper directories, that I sometimes change them to as well.

Once you have set the directory, you can turn off automatic wallpaper scheduling if you wish and then just use the Wallpaper change quicklink to change as you wish.

It will continue using the scheduled directories.

Or you can just use the scheduling and enjoy having it change as often as you wish.;)

I hope this was clear enough and you find that it answers your question.

If you have any further questions regarding this or any other aspect of CHTS, feel free to ask.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] curtin88:
Hi santod040 for the prompt reply. Thank you. However, if I were to use the Wallpapers scheduled (change by schedule time), within the folder directory, assuming that I have 10 files there, should I name them as 1.png, 2.png ... 10.png, or I can use other generic name for the file names?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TwanVeugelers:
Mhh oke, valid answer. I can imagine what happens.

Is it possible to create a "poll" somewhere, with most requested features? With a big fat disclaimer that a "most requested feature" will not automatically be implemented into the next release!

Because I can imagine that somebody has a great idea, and everybody else also finds it a great idea, but never thought of it. So this great idea only gets requested once, but most users also want it, once they see it.

I will create a list, and come back with some ideas.

grtz,

Twan
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egotheist:
here's some information that I could get right now:

my ROM: Project Moon Light v3.59+ (WinMo 6.5.3), Radio 2.15.50.14

both of my mates use:

ROM: official RUS 3.14.411.2, Radio: 2.15.50.14

one of them uses Taskbar skin, that in installed apps is named "6Fg8 TaskBar" (downloaded from XDA).

I've suggested them to uninstall their taskbars and watch, what will happen.

When I get some more info, I'll let you know.

And a noob question, where do I find chtstate log file?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
I don't know, how exact I described it in Manual. For wallpapers according to current weather are only name conventions. If you download one set from Post 5, you see the names.

For each schduled wallpapers (wide,portrait,lockscreen,forelayer,...) you have no naming convention in 2.15. Also no wildcard search.

If you want to use different sets for profiles or sizes, just use different directories.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Hi again, Twan.

Thanx - looking fordward to the list.

I'm quite narrow in time before xmas, so I can't do much administrative things around CHTS, I'm glad, that I find the time to develop on. So before xmas any announcement, what I will implement, could be difficult. so a poll is also a good idea, but then not directly in this thread, perhaps a new thread.

At first all things must be collected and so each list won't cover all wishes, which makes a poll difficult anyway.

But everybody can make a list or write his wishes here. perhaps a "wish-template" to show, that wishes are very appreciated?

Only me... I think I have ideas for more than 10 Releases :)

Looking forward to your list.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
Same Radio? mmh...then it can be indeed the taskbar. or like said - a 3rd-party app, which always poll the Radio, because it only checks for flightmode.

chtstate logging is a feature, which I integrated to CHT. but to make it easier, I added a toggle to switch it on here in the addition quicklink-cab of CHTS. Download in Post 1 here.

then you can switch on/off Logging by quicklink.

The Logs are written to the directory "chtstateLOG" in the root of your SD-Card.

a BUG

the icon of "prox lock" in "backlight"... (CHT free link)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egotheist:
quick testing of power draining in Network OFF state shows the same results as in Flightmode, so it appears that taskbar is playing tricks on us :) we gonna test it through the whole night with logging. if we find something interesting, I'll report tomorrow.

Micha, thx 4 your support!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markpud:
Hi Micha,

It is odd, no data goes green then comes back to red by itself, I just feel a little vibration like the profile changed..

I don't think I have anything which would control the data connection, its an NRG ROM with CHT2 and no other themes. I have one app which polls for football scores but this doesn't control the data as far as I know (if there is no connection it's log just show that it waits and tries again later)

I've attached logs that were generated when i activated state logging and then triggered a switch to the night profile.

Also reattached my settings as I've tweaked them round a little based on your feedback.

Thanks again for your assistance, Mark.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
perhaps the problem of jumping quicklinks of CHT?

sense restart doesn't help?

then reapplying last saved Layout with changing quicklinks should do the trick.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
Well, Michel. The problem I was having before with CHTS bombing when I tried to change the layout selection of a profile is gone now. I had to uninstall all the widgets and CHTS and remove any old CHTS directory including the theme layouts I was working on. I also made sure all the CHTS widget xml files were gone from the windows directory. Then I added everything back in. It works perfectly now! Something somewhere must have gotten corrupt.

One question now though. I thought I could trick CHTS into copying some DLL files over to the windows directory for a themes dialer skin and taskbar theme, but they don't seem to copy over. Other non manila files seem to get copied over (like the bmp files for the dialer), but not he DLLs. Do you know why? Is it the same problem that mortscript and file explorer has? But resco file explorer and total commander can copy these files over. Is there a way to get CHTS to copy DLL files over without a cab?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
thank you - it's very important to know it!

Hi Mark,

what is "Backgroundservice.exe" ?

And you have lockdevice.exe running... but you have Winmo 6.5...

Please deactivate or uninstall lockdevice. This definitely interferes with CHT 2 on WinMo 6.5

(\windows\lockdevicegui.exe to call it, if you have no possibility to uninstall, if cooked in)

I will also come back to you because of your settings.

Thank you - fine that it's working now. If something of the old things come back, please keep in mind, which you have installed just before.

.dll-copying :) This depends if they are in use at the moment, the were changed. So they need to be unloaded before, if this is the case. Also the access rights must be checked.

Please tell me, which .dll's you wanted to exchange - then I can have a look for them.

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
And now second.. your Settings :)

You make some little things, which makes a little problem, Mark.

The first thing:

At night: You disable GPRS permanently, but also you let check CHTS permanently , if your device is roaming and then it should enable GPRS, if it's not roaming... what do you think, could happen? :)

I would estimate: GPRS disabled... then check, if device is roaming -> not Roaming -> GPRS on again :)

So please leave this Roaming option off and just disable GPRS permanently and initially.

Also you activate all Proximity-Sensors at the same time over Day. You should decide, what you want.

I developed the Proximity-things in CHT so, that both Home-Tab-Proximities act like Proximity-on-lock, if you lock your device.

And Relight and normal proximity at the same time... a bit to much. Just choose what you prefer.

Also over day you activate initial data settings - but there is all on "don't change it"... have you forgotten something or was it while playing around?

And... do you really use all 21 profiles? :) Just make the profiles invisible, which you don't use at the moment. That saves also some storage while runtime.

At Night you set Phone to silent, but also activate "Quieter Ring on Pickup".. I think "silent" is quite enough :)

Also you switch Phone ON at night? I see nowhere, that you switch it off. If you already sleep and your phone is switched on... then you only see the PIN in the morning. I would use "Don't change it"

But never mind - it's all ok with the settings - but the result is not that, what you want. And I also sometimes play around with the things and makes also some combinations, which are not optimate.

So if you switch off the Roaming check for GPRS - I think this should help.

Oh - one question: What's your experience with QuickGPS-Updating-option - is it ok so?

Regards

Micha
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
Its the dialer and taskbar DLLs. For the dialer it is phcanimages.dll and phcanimages2.dll.

For the taskbar there are several, but the main ones are phcanoverbmp.dll, shellres.192.dll, outres.192.dll, and tapres.192.dll. But also notify.dll.0409.mui, htcvolumecontrol.dll, GPSAux.dll, MessagingRes.dll, MMSRes_480x800.dll, obexinbxex, picturemailres.dll, and finally tshres.192.dll.

Ha ha, that's a lot I know. It seems that if Resco Explorer and Total commander can copy those even if they are in use, that it can be done. I've searched a little to see if I can get some command line function to work for the copying, but I've found nothing. Mortscript won't do it either when its a file in the ROM.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egotheist:
Micha,

about Network OFF option. we've tested for the whole night. no unusual power draining was noticed, so device doesn't search for a network in that mode inspite of taskbar indication. everything works as it has to. I've got chtstatelog file, do you need it in that case?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mariconjo:
There is 1 little problem I have with CHTS at the moment. If I want to switch profile on temporary base the icons on the homescreen change but the settings (like ringvolume) don't change. However, if I change the profile without temporary time setting everything is oke....:confused:

Anyone an idea maybe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] egotheist:
this problem is known already, Micha promised to make a fix.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] markpud:
Victory!! I think turning off the roaming options has fixed my issues and no data stays on now :)

Many thanks for taking the time to go through everything with me.

Re backgroundservice.exe - its for an app that logs music i play to last.fm service. It's not active unless I'm playing music so shouldn't interfere.

lockdevice - seems to be part of the rom, once I terminate it, the CHT lockscreen doesn't work any more!

I didn't know i could hide the un-used profiles, so done that now! Also tweaked and simplified the other profiles according to your advice. Thx again!

PS: quick GPS, i set it to update once per week on activesync, seems to be working fine but do you want to know if it works in "night"?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
You are sure, that there is nothing messed up, if you copy these .dll's ? How have you tried the copy with CHTS? Have you added the dll's to the Layout folder and then switched to it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MichelDiamond:
:) Hey cool - fine that this little thing works. Sure - I could do some verifications more - but some users also wants this behaviour (because if they need Roaming in the opposite way)

Now I know why I knew backgroundservice... I wasn't sure. Thanx

But now: Lockdevice in a CHT 2.0 ROM with WinMo 6.5 ? Sure? mmh... I don't know the specifics of HD... but that confuses me a bit... but as far as it works... :)

OH - for QuickGPS I only wanted to know, if all is fine. It is a new feature of 2.15 and I only wanted to know, if it works as it should and if the options for it are ok.

Thank you also for the donation!

CHTS 2.16 released!

especially for Timeouted mode, I made this Release as "between-Release" for you.

But so you also get some more new very useful things perhaps for you.

Please read the installation hints. It all should be installable like usual - but if you are in doubt - better read it.

Changelog (now shorter :) ) :

Please consider the installation hints:

Important:

Please save your CHTSSettings before installation of CHTS 2.16

Also I would recommend to save your current Layout as Extended.

After 2.16 install, I would recommend to make a Full Sense Backup at first.

It's all direct accessable by Menu of CHTS .

There are so much news in CHTS and so much new Widgets - so it's better to save and use the new Profiles and Layouts.

Direct download Links - but better you simply read Post #1 before :) :

*Download CHTS 2.16*

*Download CHT QUICKLINKS 0215 AddOn (also for 2.16)*
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola, seems we´re both doing the same things and encountering the same issues :D:p As MD already answered, some of your questions are beeing worked upon, others seem/are a bit more complicated to achieve. At the moment, when "playing" around with theme-making with/through CHTS, please consider leaving out the taskbar installs and also doublecheck the information on some of the themes, especially on what Sense versions they are based on. It does make a difference if your device is running on older drivers and manilas, as well as the install routines of included addon-widgets. This addon-widgets SHOULD ALWAYS be installed separate and individually. NEVER in the same cab as the main theme unless you want to run into problems due to this. This does not affect non CHTS switching, meaning that if it runs well on the device, doesn´t mean it will do also when you switch ;) If you want to be save, stick to themes without "included" addon widgets, or make sure which one is included in that theme, check if it´s already installed on your device (if so, uninstall addon from device first) and take a good look at "CHTWidget_Basic.xml" and stick to those elements... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
Yes. I added the files to the folder and then to the layout XML file. It copies pretty much everything else. Although it didn't copy the new WM6.5.3 softkey buttons either.

Has anyone else had success copying DLL files?

I've attached my Layout XML in case you want to have a look. One suggestion though. It seems like it would be easier to just make CHTS copy any file you dump into your layout folder from the SD card into Windows instead of having to have the XML file list everything. Its really tedious to try and make sure that everything is listed in the XML file.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hmmmm, we definetly should get together, lol - We need to differentiate a bit regarding WinMo and Sense... There is still no REAL CHT theme available, nowhere, that really has taken into consideration all aspects adressed in the CHT Whitepaper - a lot of addon widgets right now neither, and they are a bit less complicated than a whole theme, including "all" skins. So please, just "stick" with us on this one and you´ll see, how it might succeed. But there are some basic definitions still to be made on hand of experiences and feedback like yours ;)

Copying DLLs? Nope, no success yet, but has not been implemented yet either...:eek:

On dumping the files..., some of these files can and will cause your device to CRASH without remmedy - other than HR. Believe me, I´ve tried a whole lot of themes already, some the "hard way" :o

Maybe you want to take a look at the "white paper" posted on page 1 and give it a try to make a chttheme.xml? We´re working at it, but it´s pending also user feedback :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] cmsc:
That was quick!

Fantastic, works like a charm!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sponge_worthy:
I see what you mean about something getting copied that would corrupt the phone. I attched my chttheme xml file for my buuf theme. It works great with the sense and wallpapers and some other graphics like comm manager. I was just hoping to be able to switch to a complete theme with taskbar and dialer because those are pretty important to a theme IMO.
