So after playing around with the setting and a couple different times of re-flashing I think I really close to have what I want. Here is my latest problem...I have my contacts panel but the panel doesn't have a name on it. 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. Man I thought this would be easy for someone who works with software development all day!

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.

I hope this helps.

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.

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

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.

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.

thats the confusing part - his pictures look like the latest ones from showaco but his cab doesn't look like it yet - hopefully mnemonique gets out a new version today - can't wait now....

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.
