CHome/Titanium Modifications - Adding Panels

[Hafrust]

Did you copy the GUID in the registry from the existing Settings panel to your newly created one? Also make sure you added your new panel's name to extensibilityxml at HKLM\Software\Microsoft\CHome.

Nope. I guess I didn't realize I needed to create another Settings of my own (since I saw it on the list). Let me try that.

Well, you can try using the default one, but it kept locking my phone up. We can proceed either way.

Hafrust - I followed your tutorial and i was able to add new panels - but i am still having trouble with the icons... here is what i did..
1. modified the clink panel to add more apps to that, by adding new pages and pointing to apps i like - been able to add 5 until now and i love it - its awesome but the icons are not displaying like they should... i guess i need to modify the .cpr files, can you please help me with that - u said to change to "image 1", but is that for all images as in don't i have to reference some location ?
2. been able to create an invisible new panel on top of the launcher panel... i don't mind it being invisible, i placed it on top of everything which i am using as contact dialer panel.. same issue, i can't get the contacts picture to be visible alongside the number, i just see the generic one.. same edits to .cpr i guess ?

this is fricking awesome, completely threw away m2d now.. now if only i can figure out how to add more cities to the weather panel, then this is the bomb....

Ah, so at this point, creating a "Settings" will only cause lockups, right? In that case I may avoid it for now.

Only if you use the settings panel that already exists. The pre-existing settings panel was not made for our phones and links to pathways that don't exist. I played with it a little and changed some of the pathways and got it working, but it did cause some freeze ups for whatever reason. I'm not sure if I missed something or what. If you create a new one and add the pages manually, it works perfectly.

Great. So I just copy the panel configurations from the existing Settings to the new one? Any to avoid?

First create a new panel. Then you'll need to add new pages for each item you want to be able to access (I have comm manager, task manager, and my battery info). The action url for each page will be the location of the executable file in your phone. For example, here's what I used (my info may be different than yours since I haven't flashed that ROM yet). For comm manager, my action url was \windows\commmanager.exe. For task manager it was \windows\taskmgr.exe. For my battery it was \windows\nuepowercpl.cpl.

When you are adding pages, to make it easier, use the templates through the menu to add applications. Since the programs being launched probably won't be on the list in the template, just pick any random program, then once the page is created change the name and action url. That way you don't have to manually input the path to the icons since the template does it for you.

I can't seem to get any of the cab programs to change my titanium setup, can't add, can't diable, or anything. Hopefully this new ROM im building will help.
