Which programs are you specifically having problems with?

That way you don't have to manually input the path to the icons since the template does it for you.

Got it. One thing I've noticed in this process, if I go back into the CHome Config, I can't customize the settings anymore. If I delete the newly created panel (and out of the registry), then I can go again.

I used titanium customizer, CHome COnfig.

Tried both with no sucess. Trying again.

Hmmm....I hadn't tried going back in there to update a panel after it was done. A workaround you could do would be copy the GUID of the settings panel you have created so you won't lose it, then create another new panel (name doesn't matter - you're just using it for it's GUID), copy the GUID from this newly created panel to your contacts panel, make the appropriate changes, then put the original GUID back on your contacts panel. PITA I know, but it's the best I can think of. Someone's bound to write a program sooner or later designed for doing these things on 6.5....

Can you be more specific of exactly what you are trying to do and what you have done?

Man , Copper has pretty much resurected the excitment of 6.5 especially to those of us (me included) who wasnt too enthused about it. and Hafrust this thread compliments it very well. good job bro.

Thanks! I keep hoping someone smarter than me will come along with a much simpler method to do all of this, but it works for now.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Is there a list of what the default panels are for?

What is:

Chome
CMessage
CMyFaves - Is this different than favorites?
CWelcomeCenter - Is this for the first startup?

I really like the windows Live one :)

myshinynewtouch 04-09-2009 06:58 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
hafrust - pls explain on the icon issue i have right now - i have everything setup perfectly, but the icons are not displaying correctly, do i need to modify the .cpr files ? i was just trying to use the default icons and even they won't show up....

Hafrust 04-09-2009 07:10 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Yeah, the cpr files need to be modified. Go to the CWelcomeCenter (or whichever panel's GUID you copied from) Expanded section and the Operator Services Expanded section and change "Icon" to "Image 1". That should take care of it. Are you still using a Touch as your profile indicates, or have you switched to a VGA device? If you have VGA, you can just copy my files from post 1. I am working on getting modified cpr's posted for QVGA. They'll be up tonight.

Edit: If you have a QVGA phone, can you check something for me? I'm curious what all .cpr files you have in your Windows directory. In my phone I have the following:

SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr
SlidingPanel_240x320_0411.cpr
SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr
SlidingPanel_320x320.cpr
Titanium_480x640.cpr
Titanium_640x480.cpr

I have the same thing, i took out the last two bc their not for qvga. You NEED the 240x320 and 320x240 one's though.

Cool, thanks for verifying that. I wanted to make sure that it wasnt titanium_240x320. BTW, you qvga users are going to have some cabbed up versions of these modifications soon. Someone at xda is almost done with it. He has a qvga phone, so you all will get it first. I'm mobile right now but I'll post the link to that thread when I get to a pc.

I just have SlidingPanel_240x320.cpr, SlidingPanel_320x240.cpr, Titanium_240x320.cpr, Titanium_320x240.cpr files in my windows folder.. Still have my htc touch - am on contract for 1 more yr.. :)

regarding the GUID, i didn't copy it from anything, I just created panels and pages using Chome configurator directly... didn't have to copy anything.. but i will still change those names and give it a shot..

Hafrust 04-09-2009 08:33 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Oh, ok...so there is a Titanium_240x320 and a Titanium_320x240 cpr. As far as the GUID's, the new panels show up on the today screen without changing the GUID? Would someone with a qvga phone mind posting their original .cpr files in a zip for me to double check something?

here you go hafrust..... hope this helps you... i like this soooo much over m2d and i wanna tweak it as much as i can...
i was able to add as many pages as i want to the launcher panel - i can create a new panel if i sacrifise the launcher panel - but i cannot see the new panel i created except when it is highlighter - so its there - just not visible if i have the launcher panel visible - i guess i can tweak that tooo - but need ur help... i am trying to create like a contact dialer shortcut panel just like m2d - and maybe expand it to have many cities weather panel - :)

fishfuzz 04-09-2009 10:06 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Okay, I can verify that the GUID sets whether or not you can re-edit the item. Using the GUID from CLinks, I then see an * in the configurator. Problem is: if you leave that GUID, the item goes blank (but usable) because of the duplication.

I took those .cpr files, modified them to 640x480 et al, and loaded them up on my TP. Hopefully they will do something.

Make sure you are following all the instructions, step by step. If you try to come up with your own concepts too early, one is bound to make a mistake (like I did), and they won't show up.

Most important concept: You need to choose a GUID that can already appear.

Hafrust 04-09-2009 11:36 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
This post is for QVGA devices ONLY!!!

OK...here are the QVGA modified cpr files. I did NOT add the section for the "Settings" Panel b/c the values there in my VGA cpr's seemed odd and I was bound to screw it up if I tried converting it. If you want to enable the "Settings" panel, you will need to add that section to the Titanium_240x320 and Titanium_320x240 cpr's. You can compare the VGA versions I posted to these QVGA versions to see the difference between them. I don't have a QVGA device to test them on, so that's why I'm leaving it to you all. What these CPR's WILL allow you to do in their current state is add a new panel using the welcomecenter GUID, plus it will fix it to where your icons will be displayed.

Edit: myshinynewtouch has posted a better version of these QVGA files here.

You are missing a valid GUID. The Settings GUID will not display. Try this one:

Code:

{2F710F22-9F19-43fa-8F35-9927D246B078}

When you said you copied the Settings reg, did you copy all of the Settings? If so, start over.

Try creating a Contact dialer first. Use the GUID I gave you for the final steps and let us know if that works.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
i tried option 2 to make a new panel, but for some reason, it will always make the second from bottom's collapsed text blank. did i do something wrong?

*EDIT* seems that it's not always the second from the bottom. whenever i have both custom panels on, the one that's higher up is blank.... any ideas?
*EDIT2*
here's a picture. the collapsed text is blank, but when it's selected, it works just fine:

strra - even i have the same problem as urs - but i really would love to know wat u did to get those pictures showing correctly - i wanted to modify the .cpr files but i didn't use the GUID of either settings or welcomecenter... any clues as to how u managed to get chome configurator to accept the .png to display accurately ??
yes - currently u cannot see more than one panel - so if u have launcher panel - u cannot see ur contacts panel - thats why i have it at the top so that there is no gap and i know it is there - kinda like my own secret thing :)

If you use the GUID of an unused panel (like cwelcomecenter), you can create a Contacts panel (or whatever panel you create) that will show up in addition to the launcher panel. That was the benefit in that extra effort. The way you currently have it set up, where it's one or the other, I think you can get the icons to be displayed by editing your cpr's at the Operator Services Expanded section and change "Icon" to "Image 1". If you are using the GUID of cwelcomecenter, you would also need to edit them at the CWelcomeCenter Expanded section and change "Icon" to "Image 1".

Also, if you are using the "launcher" panel, you can edit it's name in CHome Configurator. I have mine changed to "programs" and have pages added for my frequently used programs. That was why I wanted to keep that as well as adding a Contacts panel.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
hafrust - i use nfsfan 6.5 v6 ROM - i have the same problem like another poster on this forum - i dont have the welcomecenter as it has been removed - that's why i am trying alternate ways to see if i can get the contacts panel to display... i will see if i can copy the guid of the settings panel and see if it will display...

i changed the launcher panel name just like you now - like it that way -

anyone know of any program to open .cpr files on the phone - i tried wmobile and pnotepad and both didn't work...i am at work right now and am anxious to edit and try out the solution for the pictures to display..

EDIT: copied the GUID from the setting panel to my contacts panel and it still didn't show up.. is the welcome center GUID listed in previous page same and uniform for everyone.. i will try with that and report back..
EDIT: no dice, the GUID from previous page didn't work either...

Hafrust 04-10-2009 10:38 AM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Oh, ok. I see. Well, the Titanium_240x320.cpr and Titanium_320x240.cpr files don't have a settings section in them. You would have to add that in there in order to use your settings panel.

hafrust - got one part working - now for my invisible contacts dialer i can see the pictures - that is fricking awesome :) thanks hafrust...

can u pls tell me what is the same fix for the launcher panel icons to be visible..

I tried the GUID of the MyFaves - still didn't display the contacts panel on my phone - did anyone get it to display and has not used the GUID from the welcomecenter... ??

With regards to settings panel, can i copy it from the slidingpanel_240x320 file ? I can't see it in my regular titanium_240x320 file...

fishfuzz 04-10-2009 12:10 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Whenever you duplicate a GUID (or mess up a registry setting), some part of CHome will go invisible. Until we find other valid GUIDs, or figure out a way to make them valid, if you want more than one created, one will be blank.

What GUID is your CWelcomeCenter?

As far as copying the settings section from that slidingpanel cpr, that's what I had to do with mine, and then you'll have to make minor adjustments to get the correct title and icons to show. You can take a look at my VGA cpr in post 1 and probably figure out what needs to be changed. And my launcher panel icons show up when I add pages, so I'm not sure what's going on there. It has to be something in the cpr though. I wish I still had my Mogul to play around with.
