Section 4: Addon widgets, quick links and other downloads

About Addon widgets and links:
Addon widgets are new to CHT v2.0.0 - made possible by the widget framework.
These are true addons: Widgets that fully integrate with CHT, but at the same time can be added and removed without affecting other widgets or the base CHT installation.
They are compatible with all v2.x.x versions of CHT.
Version v2.0.0 supports a maximum of 20 addon widgets (this number does not include the built in widget that come with the CHT install).

As well as widget, link can also be added as addons.
Links like toggle switches, notifications, status indicators, tab links, etc.
Version v2.0.0 supports a maximum of 20 addon link cabs (a single addon links cab may have multiple links inside).

Addon widgets and addon links are added independently, so the maximum is 20 addon widget + 20 addon links cabs.

Download addon widgets:

RSS widget - Probably the most requested widget of all. It's the RSS Reader that comes with Sense 2016+, but it will work on all ROMs with Sense 2.5 including the HD2 stock ROMs. The only requirement is that you have the RSSHub application on your device.
This is the exact same RSS reader the comes with the stock Sense wich means it also has it's limitations and bugs - this widget will be updated as HTC updates it's RSS Reader in stock Sense.
The future might also bring some better Sense RSS integration. For now this is no more and no less then what you get with Sense 2016+.

Weather widget - Standalone weather widget. (That is, in addition to the one in the main clock.) Features 2 layouts, both resizable. The second layout is pure eye candy when enlarged.

Digital clock - A real digital clock that is. No flipping and no space between the upper and lower part of the numbers.
The clock is extremely basic, but it is mainly made to be a base for skinners to make their own digital clocks since I know the flip clock doesn't make a good skinning base (because of the space between the upper and lower part).
For more info on modifying this widget see the developers guide (coming soon).

Flip clock - Not much to say here, just the same flip clock without weather as one of the main clock layouts. I thought it would be a good idea to have one more example widget for devs.

Analog clock - Just a simple standalone analog clock.

Download addon links:

State links - indicators that show various device state information

Tab links - links to Sense tabs

For chefs - How to cook in addons:
The process is a little different for widgets and links.

Addon widgets:
In the addon widget cab, the setup.dll does the most import part of the install. Doing it manually is a bit tricky. The easiest thing you could do would be add the cabs to an automated post flash customization.
But if you still want to cook it in this is what needs to be done:

1) In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\ create a new string value called: "CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot0". For its value set the install dir of the addon cab you wish to cook in - they are usually "\CHTAddon\%widget_name%" (the install dir in the addon cab isn't actually used as an install destination, but as an unique widget id).
2) Next you'll need manilaHash.exe - you can find it on the forum.
3) Put "\Windows\HTC\Home\CHTWidgetSlot0.mode9" into manilaHash.exe and get the hashed ********_manila files name. Then rename CHTmode9_manila to that name.
4) Put "\Windows\HTC\Home\Scripts\Home\CHTWidgetSlot0 .lua c" (it's ".luac" without a space) into manilahash, get the manila name and rename CHTlua_manila to that.

Repeat that for any additional widgets you want to cook in, just put in Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, etc.

Important note: manilahash.exe does not append leading zeros to hashed file names. For example if the name needs to be "008fa12b_manila" - manilahash.exe will output just "8fa12b_manila" without the leading zeros.
The hash code always needs to have 8 digits, so if manilahash.exe gives you something with less than 8, add the missing zeros manually. Otherwise you'll the widget will not be installed properly.

Addon links:
Very similar to the above, but a little simpler.

1) In HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\ create a new string value called: "CHTI.AddonLinks.Slot0". For its value set the install dir of the addon cab you wish to cook in - they are usually "\CHTAddon\%links_name%" (the install dir in the addon cab isn't actually used as an install destination, but as an unique id).
2) Next you'll need manilaHash.exe - you can find it on the forum.
3) Put "\Windows\HTC\Home\Scripts\Home\CHTAddonLinkSl ot0. luac" (it's ".luac" without a space) into manilahash, get the manila name and rename CHTlua_manila to that.

Repeat that for any additional link cabs you want to cook in, just put in Slot1, Slot2, Slot3, etc.

Analog clock skins:
