Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Any way you can post a screenshot? I may have screwed something up when converting values in the cpr from VGA to QVGA. That's good to know about you being able to use the welcomecenter GUID. That should help anyone else who is using that ROM or a similarly built one.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I'm using the same ROM with no problems.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Fixed it Hafrust - the operator services condensed layout was off by about 10 pixels on Left = "20" instead of "10"... fixed it and the new files are attached... hope you can use them for something really cooool...

anyone need help when u are using nfsfan's v6 version, pm me and i can try and help u out...

any chance of good png's for all the common programs we use.. I have communication manager, google maps, active sync, igo8 in my programs list... and i don't have nice png files for them...

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Cool...thanks for posting those. I updated the first post with a link to your post and I took down the files I posted and put a link there too so people will be sure to download the best version.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I made some awesome titanium customizations with this!

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Keep an eye out in here or on showaco's thread on XDA...he's going to try to release his revamped Titanium Weather today. It'll make it even better.

For those interested, iconspedia is a good site for icons. You'll just have to resize them.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

woohoo! that is my favorite plugin! i just did a lot of **** on this... made a contacts panel, made a custom internet panel to open up iris, and made a program panel!

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

FYI...I posted this in the copper thread but it's worth duplicate posting here:

This is a nice blackish 6.5 theme. It's not quite black, but the best I've seen so far. This caught my eye too.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

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?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Are you sure you copied the welcomecenter GUID to the correct registry location? You should be copying from HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome and pasting to HKLM\Security\CHome\Default Settings. When you say you can't see them on the home screen, are they there, but invisible when not highlighted, or not there at all?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Ok. That must have been the problem, i was using the GUID from the earlier post. When i copied my GUID from welcome center it came up. Now, i've got a panel that says "getting started", and my contacts are in there, but the icons are wrong. I'll have to double check that i installed your CPR files.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

OK...sounds like you've got it. The cpr files will definitely take care of the "getting started" and fix the icon issue.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I'm assuming that you have at least one invisible panel then?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I re-downloaded and re-installed your .cpr files, and its working like a charm! Thank's a million for your patience! The only thing I can't do is edit the panel, I am gathering that this is from the GUID. Can I use the same GUID over and over?

Edit: Seems to have worked. Rock On!

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Yeah...I really need to re-write some stuff in the first post and add some more details like that. Using the GUID from the welcomecenter will prevent you from being able to edit it later on. A workaround that can be done is to copy your welcomecenter GUID somewhere so you won't lose it, create another new panel (doesn't matter what you name it - you'll just use it for it's GUID), copy the GUID from this new panel to the one you are wanting to edit, save changes, soft reset (or refresh CHome), and then put the welcomecenter GUID back on the panel so it will show back up on the home screen. OK.....Clear as mud? It sounds like such a chore when I type it out...

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

This is what I did to add a contacts Tab. I actually started from a new flash because I made such a mess the first couple of times.

Adding People tab with Contact pictures:

-Disable Titanium.
-Open CHome Configurator.
-Select Menu>Panel>New to create a new panel.
-When the Name dialog box pops up name your panel I chose "Speed Dial" hit ok
-Highlight your new "speed dial" panel by clicking it once
-Select Menu>Panel>Customize.
-Select Menu>Page>New.
-Type "Speed Dial" in Collapsed Field
-Select Menu>Template>Contact Dialer
-Select the first contact you would like to add
-click yes to use picture if a pic is stored otherwise you can chose a pic
-Repeat Menu>Page>New and Menu>Template Contact Dialer for every contact you want to add
-When you have all the contacts you want in their click Done
-Tap on Speed Dial again and then tap show (left soft key).
-Highlight the CLinks panel and select Menu>Panel>Disable>CLinks
-Exit the program (make sure you close the program by using Menu>Exit or your changes will not be saved) No need to reboot yet.
-Now you will need to open whatever regedit software you use. Go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome.
-Open ExtensibilityXML. In the string, you will need to insert the name of the panel you just created in the place you want it to be displayed on the CHome home screen. The plugins are separated by a ";"
-Save your changes and soft reset.

-In your registry editor, go to HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome\Clinks Copy the string value for GUID.
Go to HKLM\Security\CHome\DefaultSettings\Speed Dial Paste the GUID string value that you copied. Make sure it overrites the old GUID and doesnt give a GUID[1] if it does erase the old GUID and rename the new one.
-Copy the .cpr files from the attached cab and replace the existing ones in your Windows folder (thanks to Hafrust for the Cab).

Soft reset and re-enable Titanium.

To add or remove contacts disable Titanium, go into configurator and customize your speed dial tab. Hopefuly this helps everyone out, 99% of the credit goes to Hafrust and this thread! I just customized the information for a speed dial panel. Enjoy

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Makes perfect sense! Especially after 2 days of tinkering!

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Good stuff man...thanks for adding that! It should make it a little easier for people with more specific instructions.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

lol...yeah, it makes sense after doing it for a while, but I wonder how many people come in here, read the first post, and say WTF....screw that!

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I've done the tinkering too. I made a device lock panel and a people panel, both show up but people text is invisible. Any ideas why and how I can fix it?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

So I know exactly what's going on, when you say the text is invisible, the panel is there but invisible unless you highlight it? Or did I misunderstand? If that is the case, were you trying to use the same GUID for both panels you created?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Once you are done editing the file in configurator, go back in and copy the welcome center GUID and paste it over your "invisible panel" GUID in the security section.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Hafrust do you know the default icon size? I notice some icons are cut off in my Programs Panel.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Not off hand...but I'll look for it. Is it just certain icons, or all of them?

Edit: All of the default icons I have are .png's that are 60x60.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Yes the panel is there. All my contacts are there and I can call them, but I don't see the text that says people. And I've added it to the ExtensibilityXML.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Did you try copying the GUID from the welcomecenter panel as chuggy mentioned?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

yes, I am using the welcomecenter GUID for both panels I created?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Alright, I see. The GUID for welcomecenter can only be used for one active panel at a time, otherwise it will cause the problem you are seeing. If you are using a VGA device, you can use the CPR files attached in the first post and use the GUID from the settings panel as well, instead of using the welcomecenter GUID twice. If you have a QVGA device, then unfortunately there aren't any CPR's posted in this thread for your device that have the information for the settings panel.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

i'm on touch pro.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

You should be good to go then. You just need the cpr files from post 1 and then use the GUID from the settings panel for one of your custom panels, just like you did with the one from the welcomecenter.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Awesome. Trying that now. Just waiting on reboot! Can I add any more active panels after these two or do I need to remove some of the others?

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Cool it worked but it is showing text as settings not people.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

I'm not aware of any other GUID's that can be used for new panels without editing dll files, which I have absolutely no knowledge of doing. I can point you in the right direction if that's your thing though. You can add pages to the Launcher panel and rename it though, thus basically giving you 3 editable panels. You can make changes to the launcher panel in chome configurator (listed as clinks) without having to mess with GUID's and cpr files...it's ready to be altered as is.


Oh crap....I may have not changed the cpr file to reflect the actual name of the panel entered b/c I had planned on using mine for settings all along. Give me a few minutes and I'll take a look at my cpr files and I'll tell you exactly where to change it. Sorry about that.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Thanks. i appreciate that.

No thanks! I'm definately not into that either. I just know how to read and follow directions.. lol

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Ok...go to the following section in your cpr files. You will need to do this in both.

Change the text I highlighted to "Text 1" (Include quotation marks). That should do it. I'm reflashing my phone so I can't test it yet. If anyone attempting this is unfamiliar with notepad, you can find this section easily by opening the cpr in notepad, clicking the cursor at the top of the document, press ctrl f, type settingscondensed in the search field, and it should take you right there.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Has anyone had any sucess with a Programs panel? I made one that had like 5 programs, and now i'm getting an error message when i try to launch File Explorer. I'm just wondering if you or anyone else has seen similiar issues, or if i mixed up a reg setting.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Rebooting now. Will let you know in a few if it worked.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Hafrust,

It gave me "Profile:Unknown" as the panel title.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Ok...I took the lazy route on that edit. I'll post a more extensive edit for you to try in a few minutes. If you don't have time to mess with it, I'll test it out and get it working once I get my ROM configured the way I want it. In the meantime, check this out:

Titanium Weather Version 3 Released! I haven't had time to see how this affects any changes that have been made to custom panels. I'm assuming any changes to the launcher panel will be lost, but I don't know how, if any, the other sections in the cpr's have been changed. This is on my to-do list in the morning.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 

Thanks. I appreciate it. I'm also tweaking the cpr file to see what will work.
GOT IT! I just had to change the word "settings" not "ts" Text="settings", to people or whatever you want it to be.

Thanks for the help.

Am I correct in assuming that I can remove any of the other panels, copy the guid from clinks and edit them to be a different panel (or hide them and make a new panel?)
ie: If I want to remove live search, I can hide that and use the guid from that to reflect a new panel?
