CHome/Titanium Modifications - Adding Panels

[Hafrust]

OK...just wanted to make sure I didn't give you bad advice. Have you followed all of the instructions as listed in the first post? I posted QVGA CPR files last night that you can use if you don't want to edit yours yourself. Please double check that you have done everything as described in post 1 (Option 2) and you shouldn't have any problems at all. I'm getting ready to leave work and will try to check in a bit later, but no guarantees. Let us know how this works out for you and if you have any other problems come up with it.

What file explorer are you using? I use Resco and Total Commander and I hadn't had any problems with it. Also, what type of phone and which ROM are you using?

I found this out in XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...64#post3601164
its ok some of the panels do not work becuz it is for t-mobile phones but i installed it on my touch with miniweather and titanium weather the miniweather gives you detailed info, the one problem is the panels don work unless you use the right soft key or push the middle button which i figure is enter, Hope fully someone can mess with the reg and get to work better im not good at reg , all in all its good.

update:
woohoo, got everything exactly how i want it:


i noticed that after you paste welcomecenter's GUID, you can no longer edit it via configurator... so what i did was close chome, paste settings' GUID onto the custom panel (make sure to take note of the one that's in there before you paste!), open chome then close it again (the custom panel wil be invisible again), then open configurator and you should be able to edit it again. when you're done, just put back welcomecenter's GUID and you should be good to go... (makes me wonder if pasting settings' GUID to one of the built-in chome panels will allow you to edit it.... *ponder*)

Yep. If you use the GUID of an editable panel (ie CLinks), one can edit the other panels using the Configurator. Of course, you could also just edit entries via the registry, once you've figured out how they work. =)

One can also refresh CHome with this app: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?yzj2ig3xzza

I'm having an issue get the configurator to show my custom panel. I can't figure out why. I've made all the changes necessary, and in the configuration screen I see my New "contacts" panel, but when I click show and reset it never actually shows. If i go back into configurator it is greyed out again. Any ideas. I'm guessing it's something easy, and I'm just over tired. I'll try back in the morning.

I am using a touchpro from sprint. I have the copper rom from mightymike and juicy. I have tried multiple file explorers and even tried to copy the files to the windows directory from my laptop. I then reflashed to be sure I hadn't messed anything up and still have the same problem.

Hmmm...that's odd. Strra is using that ROM and didn't have any problems with it. Maybe try going into your windows directory and renaming the existing cpr files, then try copying the modified cpr files into windows? If it will allow you to do that, you should be able to go back in after soft resetting and delete the old cpr's that you renamed.

I'm using the same ROM with no problems.

That seems to have been half of the problem. My panels now stay in the configurator as enabled, but I cannot see them on my home screen. I feel like I'm getting close that lightbulb moment, but I can only repeat the process so many times. I tried Welcome Screen GUID with no luck, anyone else have any thoughts?
