I've been meaning to ask a similar question. When I use CHomeConfig, I can add a new panel with pages and even after a softreset, it persists, yet changes like show/hide of other panels do not, and no change I made is visible on the Today screen.

Am I completely confused, or is the "Default Plugin" Titanium, and isn't CHomeConfig the tool intended to modify that plugin?

Titanium_xxxxx.cpr are the file that contain that config I thought as well, but I don't see my changes there either. I created a panel named test with a page named test1, yet there's no sign of those changes in Titanium_240x320.cpr as I'd expect.

Where have my expectations gone awry?

EDIT: I just pulled Titanium_240x320.cpr over to my PC, removed the Photos and PhotosCondensed elements and uploaded back to my phone (not sure if it mattered, but I modified file attributes on the phone first to disable read-only, and system to try and avoid simple file issues). The result was that the "Pictures" entry disappeared after a soft-reset. This leads me to believe that "Titanium" as a plugin is really just a host for other plugins. I expected to see "pictures" as text in the CRP but never did. That makes me think that "Pictures" is a plugin that's either got it's own file, or is built into a DLL somewhere else. It also seems that these CRP files just define where/how certain pre-defined elements are displayed for existing plugins and maybe they allow you to define how additional ones will be displayed. If I'm correct, my next question is, where do I find the actually "pictures" plugin to veryify it exists?

If I'm even somewhat right about this, I think the reason that CHomeConfig isn't behaving as expected is because it's editing the wrong files. At first I thought that maybe it was editing something like Titanium_480x640.cpr instead, but that's not the case. Since SOME of my changes are visible between runs of CHomeConfig, it's clearly persisting SOMETHING. Just don't know what yet.

Still sleuthing.
