HOW IT WORKS?

Uploaded with ImageShack.us

CHTtweaks 0.93.beta introduces small modifications in the lua files of Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0 which makes that some properties of a few elements (homeclock, lockscreen unlocker, email background, etc) can be set in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Tweaks.XXXX. This changes are compatible with any other widget or standar CHT skin: if there is no CHTtweak registry setting the default texture will be used.

Attaching the source of all modified files in which has been included the marks --CHTtweak for easy indentification. As example the code below say to CHT to use the png file for the home analog clock -defined previously by CHTtweaks setting menu, but if it does not exist it will use the default manila file

CHTtweaks Setting Menu configure the registry, then this configuration is applied to CHT

And never forget Co0kie's words specially where is said " ... The source code is freely available. You may modify it as you wish, but I do have a request:

If you're going to post a CHT modification publicly, post only the modified files and not the whole thing, so that the installation procedure is:

1) Install the main CHT cab first.

2) Install your modification.

Alternatively, if you want to use any part of this source code in your own independent manila project, you are free to do so, but please do post a mention that you're using this code and what parts.

That's the only thing I ask. I hope everyone will honour it. Thanks, here's the source, have fun with it."

Thanks again Co0kieMonster :)

CHTtweaks 1.8.5

(available beta 2)​

At first BIG THANKS TO CO0KIE MASTER its amazing how he has converted a static home tab into a flexible and very customizable home tab. Every time I look a bit into the source files I get impressed what Co0kie has done. Not only the CHT itself, but also the source is free and available for use and enjoyment.

With this development I try to bring some of the advantages of CHTweaks to CHT1.8.5's friends. So I have started with the analog and flip clock (basic CHTwidget) and CHTtweaks can change the elements of the analog clock -face & hands- using textures in PNG format stored in any folder of device or SD. In the standard flip clock can be changed the numbers (always in PNG format) and add 2 dots between hours and minutes. Also clock background can be changed using textures in PNG format and set opacity from 1=transparent to 100. Aditionaly has been added some work i the Home Title Bar (transparency). Further development depends on comments and sugestions.

Installation

1. Install CHT 1.8.5 (& rest of the components)

2. Install CHTtweaks 1.8.5.betaXX.cab, softresset

3. Aditionally I recommend to install JMLMenuSense v1.60 (or higher) for access to setting menu

4. Access to configuration menu in \start menu\programs

5. Get lots of textures in PNG format here and everywhere in XDA

**DOWNLOAD HERE**

Attaching the kitchen. The source with the modified files are in folder \workspace\_lua\. Everybody is free to add features, correct bugs, edit files, delete them, change, sale, mirror, or whatever want to do with them. Use is not compulsory. CHTtweaks1.8.5 works fine in my HD2(WM6.5.x) with CHT1.8.5 installed, but if it does not work in your device I will help as much as I can.

If you want to try the kitchen*, do the changes in the lua files with notepad2 (inlcuded in tools folder) then run _Deploy_to_device_normal_mode.bat and the files will be recompiled and deployed to your device fro test. Once the changes are done, just run _Generate_files_for_cab.bat and will get the files ready for the cab in folder \cab\_files_final\

* at first the device must be synchronized with PC and run z_init.bat only once at the beginning.

Addon for CHT

Hola, looks and works very good :D

Great job and lot´s of work and thinking behind it. Congratulations amigo.

It works on both of my devices HD2 & HD Mini, much better than expected :p

For beeing a beta, I´d say it´s rather a "release candidate" :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdpl@:
Hi Poy,

WOW !!!

What a great job amigo mio, this is really another huge step to a higher level in WM and CHT Widgets.

If all this great things continue growing at this pace we will soon see a massive immigration coming from the dark OS sides :D:D:D

Once again amigo, Big Thanks for sharing your amazing work ;)

Hi again Maestro,

I wondering if you have installed the Dunc"s CHT Fix40 Slots-Widgets you posted here and could you please check in your registry to see if it is shown 40 or 20, I just installed this fix but in my registry it still show 20 slot, is this right?

Thanks in advance, amigo ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
I really do not know what cab i have installed :eek: :D so many test ... but for sure is Dunc's CHT fix 40 widgets. Dunc's mod of mike2nl's CHT fix 40 widgets is not included in CHT Tweaks v0.90. Its linked to this post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=12016868&postcount=24

I thinks that Dunc's mod of mike2nl's CHT fix 40 widgets should be standar nowdays, it should be added to CHT2.0.1 (or eventually to CHT Service Pack 1). This fix allows 40 widgets and reserve 8 slots for BG widgets. If you don't have 40 slots in the registry just add it: HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHTI.AddonWidgets.Count = 40

CHT Tweaks its just a protection to avoid overwrite the file home.mode9 when themers are working on home flip clock to convert it to digital clock with 2 dots & no flip line. Now you can get this mod without touching this fixed file. Something similar happends with CHT_rat_weather_library, with CHT Tweaks I am trying to protect this valious file to be overwritten.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jdpl@:
Thanks for your fast reply Maestro.

I understood perfectly amigo, so I going to change the value 20 to 40 in the registry and I hope when I get my 21' widget everything goes ok :D

I just installed the 40 fix now because I know that amazing widgets are coming soon :D

Thanks again Amigo.

CHT Fundamental Questions

Now we´re getting to one of the main questions or issues since so many addon widgets and Cookie´s kitchen have been released. We are indeed loosing our "base2 or let´s say, "common ground"....

Guess we need a "Base Definition" in order to avoid future probs with "crucial" files in order to keep ONE basic CHT version & vision. I also think it is IMPERATIVE and every mod of this kind should always post a detailled list of the included and modded files, and maybe even provide the o files in case of probs. See notes and issues when uninstalling one of these files or widgets.

I´m not sure about a Service Pack... I would rather say this requires a new release, so all that´s been done up to now should be compatible with CHT 2.0 and all that´s beeing done in the future, based on your findings and Dunc´s SK-i Theme (and the evolutions for CHT within it) as well as from other CHT Members and users. Call it maybe CHT 2.5, or CHT 3.0 because it´s not a "minor update" like a bug fix or some addons. We´re talking about fundamental changes in CHT :)

Maybe this could be discussed with users and devs in actual CHT thread, or even a new thread? I´m asking this, because like with the update and new release of CHT 2.0, there are quite still a lot of CHT users that prefer older version (CHT 1.8.5.1) and have decided not to change. I guess there will be also enough that might want to stick to "unchanged" 2.0 instead of having to worry that new widgets need new mods on crucial files like home.mode9, etc...

Skinning mods of image files is one thing, as well as tweaking or partially modding mode9 files for fontsize, color, etc..., but mayor changes affecting luas, or other items in mode9 should be done very carefully, especially considering the fact, that this files and changes call upon a lot of other files, and this can really screw your Sense :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ai6908:
Interesting and unique mod to CHT. I will try this, and post comments later! Thanks for sharing...:D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Yes, it´s me again :D After a few extensive tests, I do insist that a "File List" is imperative for not having to BAN overwriting or modding files that are crucial to the system and Sense. I´ve been switching mode9´s and Luas with CHTS now, and if you do it right, there will be no issues, but you need to know the files that are changed BEFORE installing the widgets or mods, so you can back them up before damage is done. The xmls included in all widgets, AND HERE IN THE PAST THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT THAT WHERE NOT WRITTEN PROPERLY AND THUS UNUSEFULL AND DANGEROUS, have to be checked and approved, otherwise they will be no good. CHTS can help overcome these problems if used properly. CHTS can save those crucial files before install to a save profile, and then you can use any file in another profile and so switch safely back and forth. But CHTS needs to know these files before install in order to back up / save the original ones :D

I have been able to switch from a Profile configured with rat´s changed home.mode9 file (his weather library needed for his last widgets) to another profile using the original (well, not original since CoOkie also modified the same file for CHT - so there is an Original file, then the CHT file and now the modded CHT files for that) CHT home.mode9 file and everything went fine. But still the manila/sense versions need to bee watched, since not all mode9 are version independent :mad:

Guys, i have read that Dunc has made a 40 widget fix for CHT. So far i can remember about that issue... i have done this fix and others, in team work of BHS and me before x-mas and i have published this in the CHT Artworkgroup as a beta testing issue.

Dunc please tell me why you have realeased this fix before we have done our intesive tests of this release is ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Hi again Mike, I dont see any controversy there. We are recommending to use Dunc`s verssion for the the CHT fix 40 slots -widgets, because it also has been altered to allow the use of 7 backgrounds widgets, as impleted in Blue Sk-i theme or CHT Walls. We all recognise your work and credits have been properly granted. Dont waste your time and energy on that, we have still a lot of work to do ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BHS Interceptor:
Hola again, Mike and Poy, yes it´s true that Mike worked on that widget fix and it´s not about beeing mentioned, but about possible issues and misunderstandings about this particular and specific fix for Dunc´s SK-i Theme and CHT in general...

"The attached zip folder contains seven background widget cabs which will install the backgrounds you see used in the screenshots. You can choose to install any number of these and after you have installed them you can easily edit them using the reg changes and new images. However to get them to appear behind everything else on screen you first need to update the home.mode9 file. You will find a cab to install the mode9 and make the necessary reg edit in the zip folder with the widget cabs. Poyensa has edited this one for me to make the first eight widget slots appear behind eveything else so I have his original background widget and my seven installed and working perfectly. As an added bonus, and because the backgrounds will use up to eight widget slots this mode9 is also modified to allow up to 40 CHT widgets to be installed (the original maximum was only 20) so you shouldn't run out of space!"

And actually it was only 10 in the original coded but 20 "targetet"

The original CHT mode9 file (7c60907d_manila) indeed allowed only 20 slots, but in the Sk-i theme, the one modded or used was not the original file from CHT, but the one Mike modded!!! and not tested/approved for release ;)

So let´s wait for Mike´s reasons and motives for not releasing it yet.....

A few weeks back, it was agreed that there were still some issues pending to be resolved prior to a public release as you remember when rat informed us about the mode of 3a8e04af_manila ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
No dissapointments friends, I have edited my posts to give propper credits to mike2nl. I've really always thought that mike is the creator of the original fix. Sorry for the inconveniences that this may have caused. :)

CHT Tweaks (094) Xmu Skin

Thanks again Poy for this great update (094)!! I love the direction in which "tweaks" is headed..making easy switching of skins for most cht items, all with a simple png! You're a genius when it comes to this stuff!! :D

@ everyone.. When helping poy with the xmu, I added scripts to give the option to skin cht tweaks. I've attached below the images to a skin I made to go with the new xmu. The only thing with using the skin is that all xmu's on your device will also be changed alil..for example it'll skin the arrows(pivot_leftarrow.png, pivot_rightarrow.png), the separator(bg_common_divider_section.png), and the dotted line (bg_common_dotline.png) of any widget settings menus on your device (examples..simclock3, rss reader, notes widget,etc..). If any of you are wondering why this will happen it's because those 4 files I listed above are JML Menu sense program files.

I made a cab for easy installation of my skin and also attached a zip containing the files used. If you download the zip..copy the contents of the vga folder to ProgramFiles/JMLMenuSense/resources/VGA and the contents of windows to your windows folder. Then simply run cht tweaks and enjoy your new skin!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lnando84:
Glad to hear you got it working!! It's becoming one of these "must have" apps if your using CHT!! As for your question.. you may find a few font in windows or in windows/font, but those are only the default one's if you haven't added any yourself. Most ttf. font files will work so I'd suggest playing around with a few new one's;). Here's a great site for free fonts Dafont.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
Yes I did not include any file for text font (.ttf) you can have a look in windows it should be there a few already. Also you can use some other widgets fonts as typoclock.ttf, simclockfont.ttf, dsignclock.ttf, readclock.ttf, etc. No need new names. You can store fonts in device or SD. But not all fonts works, I think we should look into this thread and try a few of them with CHTtweaks ....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] m0nkeyman:
Thank you both for your quick replys. You guys r greate I can see myself playing about with this for a long time which is cool :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
You can play a lot with CHTtweaks indeed. I am sure you remember the days when you had to change files to manila format, then install and uninstall cabs, only to change one simple analog clock. Now you can have a few hundred analog clocks in your SD and select your favorite with a simple file explorer. And also for unlockers, softkeys, sms & emails, etc And everything in png so forget about manilas and cabs.

Its really so easy .... as example, look this clock directly from android: download the widget, it comes in .apk format so use 7-zip to extract the files from \res\drawable\ then copy the png file analog_clock_dial.png directly to \CHTtweaks folder ... and enjoy!

Appointments Opacity

Using CHTtweaks V 094 & this mod; everytime I set 'transparent home agenda' to on & change the opacity setting to 30/50 or whatever, it always changes the appointments to completely transparent (see attached, which was set to 50% opacity.)

Steve.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
try also setting directly in the registry:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lnando84:
I think the problem might be that Tweaks had both options to set the appoint transparency pointing to the same reg entry..You can manually change the reg setting that Poy listed above or here's another xmu you can try with the transparency on/off toggle removed. So it only contains the one option, which is to set the transparency level(#).

Same as before, copy the xmu to windows and yes to the overwrite. Let me know how it works;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] SteveDJ1:
Appointments Opacity

Thanks for the new xmu file, but it does not save the value; I change it to 50, 60 or whatever, save & exit, Sense restarts, appointments has not changed & value restored to 100.

I would try Poyensa's tip of changing the registry but this sort of thing scares me & I don't have a registry editor anyway.

Appointments & Tasks Tranparency

Hi Poy, Just another comment on this. Firstly great addition to the aresenal for CHT.

I mostly use GTX modes for the phone it just suites me to have it that way.

I used v.90 - .94 and have the same issue all along. Appointments are nice set to totally transparent, thank you for that. (see attachment Screen15)

The issue I have is in Screen14 Tasks Widget from CHT the header bar and bottom edge are not affected by your tweak, very unfortunate.

I don't want to seem cheeky, but I have included a list of the manilas needed for this. I am sure you already know them, It would be more helpful if I could supply the reg values necessary for the change. Those I do not know.

PopupMenu

Description="Popup Menu"

SubDescription="Popup menu components"

menu_item_bg="42CA143B_manila"

menu_item_bg_pressed="6129B870_manila"

edge="1FD880E7_manila"

Appointments

Description="Apointments"

SubDescription="Appointments and Tasks"

btn_date_rest="0d61c97c_manila"

btn_date_pressed="1cb13e6b_manila"

rest="438a0283_manila"

pressed="24f76eb8_manila"

end_rest="30d807da_manila"

end_pressed="6410cd91_manila"

resizer="0B7F6995_manila"

I try and find the relevant reg values and post them later.

[edit] Another point for me would be, Why is it that the color for all Sense tabs stays as set, but the color for Email and SMS reverts back to all white (very annoying on a GTX set up)

Is there a way round this?

Are you aware of this?

Will it be fixed in the next version?

hopefully the answer is yes to all these silly questions

Thanks Billy:cool:
