CHome/Titanium Modifications - Adding Panels

[jeremy37210]

Maybe someone can help clarify where I should start?

I already changed my "Launcher" panel to a "contacts" panel. The "contacts" panel is now visible and functional but I no longer have the "launcher" panel. I did this before seeing some of the newer options so I have no idea where to start now to try and get a second "programs" panel. Is it possible with the steps I've already taken?

You can still add another panel or two using the instructions in post 2, where it talks about using information from the CWelcomeCenter and/or Settings Panels. Just follow the instructions carefully and it should work just fine. Curious though, your profile shows you're using a Treo Pro, is that correct? If so, it may be tricky because no one here has modified the cpr files for a phone with that resolution yet. Therefore, if you're using that phone, it'll take some extra work to get any additional panels added. Let us know if that's the case and we'll go from there.

OK so it turns out i'm an Idiot and hadn't copied the cpr files properly. things are showing up now although I've lost my Weather Panel. So I tried to install weather panel 3 and lost all my changes

Your changes aren't lost. Go into the registry and modify the launcher section and check the original set of instructions (looking to make sure all of your panels are listed correctly) and they'll come back. =)

do you mean HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\ExtensibilityXML

Thanks, I'll give it a shot. Nope, I forgot to update my profile as I returned my Treo Pro a couple of days ago. I'm back to a HTC Touch Pro.

Cool...just wanted to double check. Let us know if you need any help along the way.

FYI....showaco has WVGA cpr files posted here.

Great add-on. Dreaming of having it on my pocket pc now. Is there a WM 6.5 ROM works on HP iPAQ hx2750? Thanks.

I've managed to get a working "contacts panel" by canibalizing the "Launcher panel". I was also able to finally add a working "programs panel" by canibalizing the "cwelcome panel", however this panel will not display "programs" in the list - it's just blank. I've gone through the instructions step by step and can't seem to figure it out.

The icons that were cutoff before are now scaling/sized perfectly and I'm pretty close to where I want to be as I just made the "programs panel" the first panel on my list so it doesn't really screw up my today screen. I just know it's there if I need it but that's not ideal for the long term if I can figure it out.

Thanks for all the help.
