Thumbs up {Sense2.5}CoOkieMonster Home Tab Mod [10-Feb-2010]

OK my first thread.......Here we go....



Thanks for this info from bignadad "to try and avoid confusion. this thread contains actual program information for cookiemonster home tab mod..

THIS THREAD video for 48links with sliding panels and more just mentions that its out there..."


Here is the link! I reccomend going to this thread since this where the topic has been discussed for sometime prior to me starting this thread, unaware of the other.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=109863

I didn't realize the other thread already discussed the mod, I had never looked at it. Whotahn apologies for any confusion. I guess I will always be a noob! I will remove this thread if need be. For now I will just leave it up but wil not add to it. The link above should be used for discussion on the mod.


This thread is for the purpose of letting the PPCGEEK community know about a FANTASTIC Home Tab mod for sense 2.5 from XDA user and genius, CoOkieMonster. I did ASK for CoOkieMonster's permission before making this thread. No objections so HERE YA GO!!!

I am taking no credit for CoOkieMonster's creation or hard work, just simply starting a thread for my brothers and sisters here at PPCGEEKS.com. I am not connected to CoOkieMonster so I am not a messenger or speaker for the Op. I only intend this thread to direct users to CoOkieMonster's thread, and for general discussion on the Mod since I have read discusion on the Mod in other threads. I COULD NOT find a thread directly for this mod anywhere in the TP2 section so if I am double posting or posting in the wrong place MODS & fellow geekers please have mercy on me.

For now I am not adding any pics. I will if there is enough interest, although my main goal is to DIRECT peeps to the original and ome thread for the Mod. Which is HERE:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625483

The following is directly from the original thread at XDA.



[Manila][10-Feb-2010] Co0kie's Home Tab - Extended QuickLinks, Appointments and More

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Intro:
This is a Manila (Sense) 2.5 Home Tab modification which features:
- Home Tab with 4 views
- Extended Quick Links:
--- 3 pages for up to 48, 60 or 75 shortcuts
--- Quick Links layouts include 4x4, 4x5 and 5x5
--- links can be easily rearranged via drag and drop
--- option to hide empty links and icon frames
--- grid view in program selector
- Extended Appointments:
--- up to 4 appointments on the home tab
--- dated appointments for more than 2 days in the future
- Optional Call History button
- Configurable links for: Alarm, Calendar and Call History
- Mod options are configurable from registry


-Read the first post carefully and completely before posting.
-When posting about a problem please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using and if you have any other mods installed.

Update 10-Feb-2010:
New version release, lots of new stuff. See features above and screenshots below.
If you're upgrading from version v1.0, v1.0.1 or v1.5 beta 2, uninstall the old version and soft reset before installing v1.5.

Update 31-Jan-2010:
This is a quick version update to fix the clock distortion bug. I've also made the 16 link layout default now - you can change it to 20 from registry.
Download the new v1.01 version below.

Tour:
This is the main Home view with 4 or 5 Quick Links (configurable from registry).


If you swipe down you get extended appointments view with up to 4 items.


If you swipe up from the main view, you get a 4x4, 4x5 or 5x5 grid of Quick Links.


Now, this is where it gets interesting. Here you can swipe left or right to get to 2 more pages of links. The 3 blocks circled in red indicate on which page you are on.


If you tap on the blocks or go to Menu->Remove Quick Links, you can Add/Remove or Rearrange the links


For rearranging: hold the icon until it pops up. Then just drag it where ever you want.


Some more options available include: hide empty links, show call history button (see settings below for more options)


Also, if you swipe up from the grid view you get the clear view. Not too useful, but you can see you're wallpaper this way


The mod also contains an optional grid view for the program selector.



Requirements and Compatibility:
Manila 2.5 is required. The mod is not compatible with other larger Manila mods (like MaxManila). Smaller home tab mods (like transparency) and mods that don't affect the home tab are fine.
Manila subversion compatibility is as follows:

Compatible:
2.5.1920.2525, 2.5.1921.1619, 2.5.1922.2911, 2.5.1922.3829, 2.5.2011.2328, 2.5.2011.3030, 2.5.2011.3626

NOT compatible:
Nothing for now.

To check your Manila version: go to the settings tab in Sense, select "About phone", and then "Software Information". .
If you have any problems with this mod please report your full Manila version (e.g. 2.5.xxxxxxxx), the device and ROM you are using.


Instructions:
Download the cab and run it on your device.
If you have a problem installing it, try turning off Sense (All Settings -> Today), installing the cab and then turning Sense back on.

Upgrading to new versions:
After installing the new version, the extended quick links that you had assigned will be reset.
To prevent this make sure you back up the reg key HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Home before upgrading, and restore it after. This will save all your quick link assignments, so you don't have to reassign them manually.

Performance:
For HD2 users: It was made for the HD2 and it should run nice and slick on it. But I do recommend installing Chainfire's HD2/Leo 3D Driver Patch - it's great.
For non-HD2 users: Keep in mind that this was primarily made for the HD2 and it will be slower on other devices. I'll make an option for less animations in a future version. For now, you should know that the performance depends on how many link you have filled up (the number of total empty links doesn't seem to matter).
General tip for more speed: Disable Animated/Weather wallpapers: go to registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\ Home.WallpaperMode and set it to 2 --- (0 is weather wall, 1 is animated wall, 2 is still wallpaper)

Troubleshooting:
Problem: The slider stops half way or you don't see any appointments
Answer: Download and import this reg file.
P: Can't find the reg entries for the settings.
A: Same answer as above: Download and import this reg file.
P: Sense keeps restarting.
A1: First, try the reg file as above.
A2: Try removing any other Manila mod (e.g. anti clock flip mod) and then reinstall this mod. Make sure you soft reset both after the uninstall and new install.
A3: Last resort: Try doing a new clean rom flash and installing this cab first, before any other programs.
P: Blank HTC icons in the start menu
A: Delete the icons and set HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\ IsShortcutEnabled to 0


Registry settings
Settings are located in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila\
Restart Manila for the changes to take effect. Available settings:

[Co0kie.QuickLinksMode] - layout setting for home quick links
0 -> 4x4 layout (default)

2 -> 5x5 layout

Re: {Sense2.5}CoOkieMonster Home Tab Mod [10-Feb-2010]

Ok go easy on me for the thread....I'm a thread startin' virgin.

Just wanted to add that I am running this MOd on MightyROM WAR 2/3/10 Sense 2.5.2011 and it is working great. I DLed it when it was released and have been running it since without a hiccup yet. I am running it with a few other mods.

I do know there are some isues with certain mods such as BG4all that that aren't jiving with the Mod.....have no fear I believe Santod the God of Mods has already been working on this as has CoOkieMonster. Like I said in the original post this thread is to direct people to the mod and bring ideas/fixes together for those using the mod. I am not going to be constanlty updating the first few posts with fixes for different ROMS and so forth. I will pull info together every once in awhile and add to Post #2. Soon, hopefully today but I have work sometime, I will have added some links to cabs and so forth that are verified to work. Thats the extent of it, the rest will be up to users to post in the thread and for other users to search the thread if need be.

Thanks everyone... I hope you enjoy the MOD and PLEASE give CoOkieMonster THANKS and props for producing it!

Re: {Sense2.5}CoOkieMonster Home Tab Mod [10-Feb-2010]

to try and avoid confusion. this thread contains actual program information for cookiemonster home tab mod..

THIS THREAD video for 48links with sliding panels and more is referencing the same program, but just mentions that its out there...does not provide detail like this thread....

glad someone posted!! nice mod....

would recommend posting cabs & screens, so people don't have to go to XDA.... i usually do it, but it's your thread....

Thanks for the props. I just wanted CoOkieMonster to get his due and get the actual Mod posted up. With NRG cooking it in I am sure it is going to be a realy hot topic and deserves it's own area of discussion.

I did not even realize that the other thread was for this Mod. I even searched the forum to make sure there wasn't something....the title threw me off I guess cause I never even looked at it. Hopefully we can get all the info together to avoid confusion. Info on this added to first post.
