Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
I think it depends on what all is tied to that GUID. I have only really messed with welcomecenter and settings. You can give it a shot, but you'll have to edit the cpr's so that the icons and the name of your panels will be displayed properly. Give it a quick try and see if it will work on a new panel, and then if you need help with the cpr I don't mind helping with that.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Yeah, I'll mess with it to see, but first I want to backup what I've got cause I got my rom almost done the way I like it. Don't want to start over! I post results tomorrow. Thanks for all your help.

Hafrust 04-11-2009 11:51 PM

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
No problem! I'll take a look at some more stuff in the morning. I just got my phone reflashed and set up how I like it for the most part, minus Titanium modifications. I've about had my fill for the evening, so I'll get back at it tomorrow.

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.

Download it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...51&postcount=1

http://img60.imageshack.us/img60/379...umweather3.png

it slightly affects panels, but if you set it up, you should have no problem correcting the problem. it edits the ExtensibilityXML string. just re-edit it and you should be good to go. also, it will delete page 1 from your launcher (CLinks), so you'll have to re-add it...

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
Y'all may have missed it, but there is another GUID that can be used(and should probably be the basis for all custom panels). Its from the htc sliding panels for smartphone and is the GUID that all htc panels are based on. Here's some of the reg files from v3 titaniumweather for example:

Notice that you must specify a data source(in this case is this registry location), and a layout(this would be panel name inside the cpr). It also uses the Updated dword value. This can update the panel when value is toggled. I toggle it between 0 and 1 for the weather app to update when data is downloaded.
Code:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumWeather]
"Updated"=dword:00000001
"Pages"="Page1;Page2;Page3;Page4;Page5;Page6;Page7;Page9;Page8"
"DataSource"="SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\CHome\\TitaniumWeather"
"GUID"="{F0A1B246-6E64-40cd-8E15-347D29FF6F18}"
"Layout"="TitaniumWeather"
"LocName"="TitaniumWeather"
"ICONPATHS"="\\Windows\\Neo_Weather.png;\\Windows\\Neo_Weather.png;\\Windows\\Neo_Weather.png"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumWeather\Page1]
"Time"="07:54 PM"
"CurrentTemp"="60°"
"CurrentIcon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\06.png"
"TodayTemps"="67°/56°"
"Day1Icon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\07.png"
"Highs"="H: 75          75          76          75"
"Lows"="L:    51          49          56          60"
"Day5Icon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\04.png"
"Days"="Sun        Mon        Tue        Wed"
"Day4Icon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\03.png"
"Day3Icon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\02.png"
"Day2Icon"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\condicons\\15.png"
"ACTIONURL"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\TitaniumWeather.mscr"
"SK2URL"="\\Program Files\\TitaniumWeather\\TitaniumWeatherOptions.mscr"
"SK2TEXT"="Menu"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\CHome\TitaniumWeather\CondensedPage]
"PluginLabel"="60° Mostly Cloudy"

With this GUID, you will also need to make your panel layout in your cpr since it won't be using an existing panel. It can read any text string or image location from registry. In cpr file there must be a corresponding image or text line with same name as reg entry. For example, here's my v3 cpr section. You will be able to find the reg values above for page1 listed in cpr along with there position values. You'll notice that there are many image and text files, but the reg above doesn't use all of them. You can define all for all the pages in the cpr, but then use different ones for different pages of the panel. This way you can have different layouts for each page of a single panel.
Code:

drkfngthdragnlrd found this GUID and pointed it out to me, so all thanks go to him. Now a panel could be made for almost anything now with this. Use your imagination of what you'd like to see. It would be possible to add Pocket SportsCenter to a panel too, baseball and football scores that auto update=D>

That made my brain hurt a little. Going to have to read this a few times and play around with the settings to see how it works. ;)

So we now have 4 GUIDs to work with?

[quote=chuggy;841992]
-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).

Can I add more than one tab this way and do have to do the ";" i nthe extensibilty xml for all tabs?

Yep. Borked the panels nice. CHome Configurator now seems to be skipping the reboot question and not consistently saving after using the new weather app.

did you ever figure this out? if not, what i did was edit the picture i wanted to use in photoshop... i increased the canvas size to the top of the picture by 16.5% ... that way, all it was cutting off was the transparency (also, remember that if the picture isn't square, it will get slightly squashed)

I think the first issue is editable in the Titanium_YxY.cpr files.

As to the CHome Configurator, I don't know that the lack of a reboot is good thing. I wonder if something was broken with the v3 update.

To edit the *.cpr files, check out XML Notepad 2007 from microsoft-

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

It shows the structure of the file much better and makes it a lot easier to see whats been done/needs to be done. Also it makes editing them a lot easier, i've been using it for all mine for a few days now; works great.

Re: CHome/Titanium Modifications
 
ok so last night I went through and followed the instructions for adding a people tab and how to add contacts. It worked perfectly and the tab is there with all the contacts I added.

However....it somehow affected the Launcher tab as well. The tab itself is still there, along with all the apps I added to it...however, theres no name showing now..ie - "Launcher"....so its just a blank space until you scroll to it. I have tried going back in and customizing clinks, and also checking the registry entries to make sure it shows in there, in the order it should be in.

I am at a loss....anyone have any advice?

For any panel that you create you will need to add the title to the extensibility XML, you can add more than one tab by changing the name of the panel and changing the function of the panel. You cant however repeat the GUID string or you will end up with invisible panels. I see shawaco has chimed in with a pretty intense solution that my mind isnt comprehending yet. I'd imagine there are ever better things to come soon!

I think Hafrust said everything he has is a 60x60 png file. I havent had time to play with it yet.

I think you've got 2 problems, you are using the same GUID twice which can be corrected by copying a GUID from another panel that you are not using. It also sounds like you didnt edit the extensibility XML file to show your name.

I hope this helps.

I saw on this thread someone else had the problem and just copied the GUID from welcomecenter in to the GUID of the contacts panel. I tried that and it didn't work.

That should be all you need to do. Make sure you are pasting the GUID for the welcome center to your newly created panel at HKLM\Security\CHome\Default Settings. If you paste it in HKLM\Software, it will be overridden by the GUID string in HKLM\Security upon soft resetting. Also, you can only use the GUID for welcomecenter for one active panel at a time.

Well I still cant get it to work...you were right...the "People Tab" I created was based off the "CLinks Tab"...the instructions I had said to disable Clinks (which is the launcher tab I am guessing) so that I could use its GUID for the new people tab I was creating. I didnt realize what that entailed..I should have used the MyFaves Tab, which was already disabled.

I have gone back and changed the people tab's GUID to the one that "myfaves" has (myfaves is already disabled)...but its still not working. I think what I might do is hard reset and start again...it just really sucks....everything else is set the way I want it...and the tab itself stills works...its just that it has no name LOL

You are an effing genius!

Ok that was my problem....I kept trying to change the GUID in HKLM>Software instead of HKLM>security. Once I changed it there and soft reset...bam....its showing up now.

MNAY THANKS for saving me from a hard reset.

If the panel is there, but invisible, it's just an issue with your cpr file. You would have to add a myfaves section to your cpr because it is not in there as is. That's why I just recommended people use the cwelcomecenter or settings panel GUID's.

Edit....hey I just realized you're in OKC as well....I might just have to buy you a beer sometime!

lol...you have no idea how pissed off I got b/c of that issue when I first started messing with this. I was close to physically destroying my phone on several occasions. Glad you got it working!

It shows the structure of the file much better and makes it a lot easier to see whats been done/needs to be done. Also it makes editing them a lot easier, i've been using it for all mine for a few days now; works great.

Thanks so much for this! Hell of a lot easier than regular notepad. Much easier on the eyes.

Just an FYI....I'm working on a few ideas and also doing a major re-write of the first post today. I want to clean it up a bit and make it easier to follow while adding some more specific instructions for adding panels. If anyone has any input, suggestions, or requests please let me know and I'll include them.

Chome Configurator only has reboot dialog if CTestUIPlugin is enabled due to a limitation on chome smartphone version which forced it in order to be able to reload the changes. I switched to a new panel, so thats why you don't see the dialog anymore. There is no need to reboot for changes to take effect, all that is necessary is to disable chome(windows default) plugin in settings\today\items and re-enable to see changes. I never rebooted when I made changes using chome configurator.

Would anybody be able to explain to an idiot like me how to add the Launcher panel if you started by installing Titanium Weather v 3.0 instead of 2.1 first? I can see CLinks in Chrome Configurator with an asterix but I can't see a launcher panel. I've tried adding a CLinks key in the registry under HKLM/Software/Microsoft/CHome, but I'm sort of stuck.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Seconded. My work uses RSS Feeds to keep us updated and it would be nice to have them right on our TODAY SCREEN.

You're not an idiot at all. Just a quick question, so you don't have anything existing in your registry regarding clinks? I didn't think about people not having a launcher panel if they start with v3. If you uninstall v3, then install v2.1 (still attached to post 1), then install v3 again (I didn't uninstall v2.1 manually, I just let it do it automatically when I ran the v3 cab). Now you should have all of the registry entries for the launcher panel (clinks).

Something like that can be created. It would be similar to the way showaco created his weather plug-in. I don't have the programming knowledge to be able to create something like that. There are a lot of possibilities with this if you have the know how.

Thanks, I'll try that and see if that works. I'll keep you updated.

Well, I tried it, but there still isn't anything under that registry for the launcher. Would there be anyway you could post the Clink entries for the registry both in HKLM/Microsoft/Software/CHome/CLink and HKLM/Microsoft/Security/Chome/CLink

I think the cab for v 3 must edit the registry entry.

I'm mobile right now, but I'll post them when I get back to a computer. I installed v3 and still have my registry entries, so if you installed v2.1 and then v3, there should be no reason you don't have it.

That's what I had figured, but I tried it twice, and made sure that i had some pages saved too.

Well, I appreciate your help. Thanks again.

Before you added the weather panel had you changed you CPR files or used Hafrust's posted CPR files? If not you'll need to edit your CPR files as stated in the first post. Or, copy Hafrust's CPR files, and then Reinstall weather. Also, you need to make sure that the panel is added in your extensibility XML string in the registry.

I think this is a testament to what a good guy Hafrust is! He's even helping out while on the road!
