[APP][12-Nov-2010] CHTEditor v2.0.0.0 - Final Released


Intro:
Co0kie's Home Tab offers us a vast array of changes for our home tabs. A lot of the options are only available via registry edits, unless you use CHTEditor.
With this application you can modify all the settings for the mod without having to open a registry editor, as well as being able to export & import all your settings and quicklinks, in case you need to hard reset or flash a new ROM. Multiple settings files can be automatically linked in the start menu, so you can switch layouts without opening the editor. You can also add these shortcuts as quicklinks to switch layouts from the home tab itself.

This application DOES NOT make any changes to Sense. You MUST have Co0kie's Home Tab installed!!!
You can get Co0kie's Home Tab here.

A BIG thanks goes to eboelzner for the Sense Interface SDK UI controls. They've made a vast improvement to the application and he's been a great help getting the latest version looking the part.
You can find the Sense Interface SDK here.

Please read post #2 before...

• upgrading (either the editor OR Co0kie's Home Tab)
• changing the editor language
• posting issues
• posting change requests
• cooking the editor into a ROM.

About v2.0.0.0:
There is no backward compatiblity with versions 1.x.x, so you can't import old CHTE settings files. But future versions will be compatile going forward, so you will be able to import you 2.0.0 settings into any 2.x.x version.

Update: 12-Nov-2010
CHTEditor v2.0.0.0 Final released.
-[new] options added in CHT 2.0 final
-[new] multiple language file support
-[new] HVGA specific setting adjustments
-[fixed] reversed tasks sortby
-[fixed] contact links export/import bug

Requirements and Compatibility:
This application requires .Net 3.5 to be installed on your device. You can download this for activesync installation here, or as a cab file here.
Some people seem to be having trouble installing .Net 3.5. If you are one of them, read this post and this post for 2 different suggestions.
The application has been tested thoroughly and found to be stable for WM6.5. There is an issue when automatically restarting manila in WM6.1, but you get a friendly error message telling you about it. If you get this message then you will need to restart manila manually.

MAKE SURE that you have the same version of the mod and the editor installed - you'll be told when starting the editor if you don't.
(It only has to be the first 3 numbers eg. v1.7.1.0 will work with v1.7.1.1)


Important notes:

• If in the future you upgrade Co0kie's Home Tab to a newer version, please read post #2 below.
• This application can be installed to either the device or your storage card.
• Finally, a lot of time goes into this application and this thread, so I'm sorry but I won't answer any questions that are answered in these first few posts. Any major issues will either be resolved as a new release, or will be mentioned at the top of the thread somewhere.

Features list:

• Change the settings without a registry editor
• Export and import settings and quicklinks (can also be done via command-line - see post 2)
• Command-line support for import and export of settings (see post 2)
• Create shortcuts to settings files for on-the-fly quick changes from the start menu or quicklinks, without running the editor
• Remove dead quicklinks
• Automatically restarts manila or soft resets for immediate changes
• Multi-language support

To be implemented in future releases:

• Add the option to enter application paths as free text, so that parameters can be included
• Add the ability to import and export different parts of your settings so you can mix them (quicklinks, home layout, lock layout etc..)

This is a work in progress and will continue to be developed in-line with Co0kieMonster's home tab mod, including any extra settings that are added along the way. With this in mind, it will only work with the correct verison of Co0kieMonster's mod, and if you try to run it against a different version then you'll be given an error telling you to check back here for a newer version of this application.
