It's not my goal to earn money and I do all this work as a hobby.
I'm happy if you appreciate my development for the community. If you wish to support my work, feel free to donate.

Nice, now this looks interesting..great work will test this out thanks

i will try this out,looks good thanks

Neat!
finally you can use tasks instead of all-day appointments

awsome Man it's good work!

Awsome! Lets try this out, thanks allot

very nice
will try it later

Awesome work!
Is it possible to leave the clock and weather in the original size? Since it's only swype up to view more tasks/appointments and your list is scrollable, I think there would be no problem...
(Just to add, you could use this size of weather and clock in the up swype view of cookie's...)
Just a suggestion although, thanks very much!

Wonderful!
The first real progress in managing tasks within Sense.
Testing right now...
Is it possible or maybe planned to do some kind of "sorting" (or even "tabbing") based on categories?
Thank you again... I'm very glad to see someone really is working on this tasks issue on Sense.

Hm this doenst really go well with the GTX sense theme from ElCondor.
Homescreen clock is duplicated, one up side down, one normal. and the swiping doesnt work. And the sun from the weatherpanel still shows in the middle in stead of the right corner.
Gonna reinstall GTX sense xD

Great job Mate, I've just installed it and i like it .
It's probabbly not a bug but for some reason i only get grid 3x3 quicklinks on My home screen.
Don't know where and how to switch it to 4x4 grid.
Manilla version 2.5.20113626.0
Os 5.2.21891.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Found solution
CHTEditor and job done.

This definitely shows promise...
There's tons of updates and customizations that can EVENTUALLY be made to such an extension of the Home Tab Editor.
I'm excited to see what else comes from this project. Keep up the great work.

Very cool, can you make a version with the standard clock and weather size?

Okay. Okay. I couldn't resist...
+1 for this idea.
+1 indeed.

I am using this on my HTC Fuze (VGA) and am very impressed. Only complaints/requests are: The animation studders slightly when swiping over to get to the tasks list, and is smooth when going back to the calendar list. Also, on a VGA screen it makes the time and weather pretty small and with 2 appointments/tasks showing it leaves nearly half of the "space" (not including softkeys or touchflow slider). I tried switching the "mode" off of VGA with the CHT settings app, but it still resulted in quicklinks that are getting cut off by the slider. This leads to my request...
Can you make this mod withOUT resizing the clock/weather? or on the flip side, is there a way you could raise the quicklinks up so that on a VGA screen I can have my appointments/tasks and a row of quicklinks?
Also is there a way that a count of active tasks could be visible when on the appointments screen? this way you have a reminder that you infact have tasks that are active.
This is a VERY awesome MOD to be combined with CHT, I think a lot of people have been missing tasks integration into sense2.5. Thanks a lot!

I just loaded this o to my AT&T Pure with success.
This is so awesome, I have used every other way to get appointments and tasks visible without adding more software.
I wonder how many people would like to see the clock a little bit bigger. I personally don't need quite so much real estate for appointments or tasks. If the two were integrated then maybe most of the screen would be covered. Just a thought.
And in order to edit, number of visible appointments I have to go to the registry for now?
Thank you again for your hard work.

wow
Excellent....have a few problems with gestures (lag) but fantastic!!!

AMAZING! AMAZING! AMAZING!!
You and Cookie have done more for my HD than anyone/any other app, thanks so much!
+1 for the larger clock, but apart from that, amazing!!!

This is just what I was looking for, but +1 on the normal sized clock and weather, so it will play nice with the GTX theme. Great work!

[REQ] TF3D "happenings" -addon tab

Is there available or could someone make a tab to TF3D
Im thinking of something like "happenings" etc. It would be a simple tab that has following things:
- Tasklist
- Upcoming calendar events
- Upcoming birthdays and anniversaries
Settings would be atlest:
- you could define that how far would the event list search for events (for example 15 days ahead)
- same than previous for b-days and anniversaries
- you could define font sizes for each "box"
- you could drag the separator lines up or down and it would save its position (so that you could see for example 5 row tasks, 8 row events and 2 rows b-days and anni's).
- you could define that would it roll, bounce or multi-line texts
These settings would be just for eye candy etc.:
- you could add different backgrounds and separators
Im not a developer so I can't do it but this would be nice to have
A call history tab and a program tab would be good too
You can use Manila Today Plugin to show classic today page on a tab you want (stocks or wather) and load any today plugin you want to display anything. There are thusants of them on the net.
As for the program tab, you canenable it with some registry hacking (it is just hidden for some reason).
Both can be found in xda forum. Just search them!
Thanks for tip.
Tried but didn't work on my Dutty's R1 ROM

Would love that too !!!!!!!!
btw: how are your features/settings in S2U2 for instance?
I use the combination of secondToday and todayAgenda as a workaround.
Both freeware.
second today gives you a second today screen
It comes with an settings utility, where you can add today plugins, that you want to appear on the second today screen. You can also override soft buttons in TFlo3D and Second Today as well.
today agenda is a plugin for the today screen (so it can be activated on the second today screen) that shows tasks, appointments, birthdays of your contacts in the address book and can be customized in any thinkable way. Colours, fonts, text size, days to be shown ....
Works perfect for me and I assume for any other ROM.
I have set "agenda" to the left soft key (manila home tab). If I hit it, I get my second today screen with the agenda for the next 7 days. There I set the left soft key to "TFlo3D" and it brings me back to manila.
Hope it helps you.

[APP] mClock,v2.2 released

I uploaded my digital clock widget, mClock. I plan on adding more styles and/or options. Let me know what you think, what you would like to see as far as options go and whatever else.
I've attached the QR code and screenshots.
For the fonts in the screenshot I just grabbed some off the web and put them on the sdcard.
Fonts: 1979, Acens, Colwell, Orbitron-Medium, and the built in fonts.
Report bugs: http://bitbucket.org/knoxcoder/mclock/issues
Xml help http://www.maroonedsoftware.com
Templates (skins) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=9856429
There is also a donate version, mClock.donate
Looks great so far!
I have some suggestions though,
First of all, I really want a real 24 hour clock instead of the 12 hour clock available.
4x2 widget would be awesome.
Perhaps custom date formatting, for example, I cannot currently do "Sunday, November 7". The default android formatting options would be nice i.e "EEEE, EEE, HHHH, MMMM, d and so on."
Perhaps click to open application..
Maybe shadow options?
Larger font size than 100px? I currently use 128px which perfectly fits my screen from side to side.
Separating different lines would be awesome, for example, I might want month and day number on one row and weekday on another.
24 hr clock: I have the code almost ready for that
4x2 widget: Easy to add
Date format: Sunday, November 7 is already supported. You can turn off the year portion on any of the date formats and change the separator to ,(Space).
Click to open app: I've been thinking of a good way to handle this. I also need to allow clicking to open the options page. I've thought about dividing the clickable area to allow different launch options. If you have a good idea I'm all ears.
Shadow options: The blur effect overwrites the shadow. I haven't figured out a way to get both to work. I may settle for toggling between shadow or blur. But I did have the shadow working on a test build so it's doable.
Larger fonts: Easy to change
Different lines: That's where the different styles/formats come into play. Those take a bit more work but I do plan on providing that sort of thing.
Update to 1.3. Includes 24 hr clock, 4x2 widget and increased font max size
Exellent app mate! Congratulations! I m using it whole evening! So good, so far! I have no further wishes about this app! Loving it!
About the click to open app, why not a application in the launcher for the settings?
24 hour clock option should disable AM/PM automatically?
Still not seeing 4x2 widget?
I like shadow because it can act as both solid blur, shadow and the color is configurable.
Blur seems cut off at top and bottom at big font sizes?
I know it's a hassle for almost no difference but perhaps render it as text instead of a bitmap?
I know I sound whiny but this app has so great potential and is already better than the rest of the clocks, simply awesome work. Love it.
New update fixes the 4x2 issue. I forgot to add it to the manifest file... Also I disable the am/pm if 24 hour mode is on.
As for the shadow, I'll work on it next. Hopefully should have it ready tomorrow night. I have code already that allows you to select the shadow color, x & y offset and the shadow size. It should just be a matter of getting it all in shape and tested.
For the app launch. Do you mean put a item in the configure screen that will launch the app?
The blur getting cut off is a side effect of the clipping, I have an idea of how to solve that but I'm going to delay the fix for now.
I don't mind the suggestions, I like to know what can be improved.
Seems the update service crashes(or simply doesn't start) a lot on 1.3.1 with the 4x2 size?
Text won't fill the 4x2 widget correctly, fonts seem limited to a too small size(only 24 hour clock, won't fit width)?
Another suggestion of mine, 24 hour clocks usually display a leading zero when the hour is a single digit?
What I meant with app launch was to have a normal app (the ones that show up in your app drawer ^^) for configuration and launch custom apps with the widget.
Right now I have no clue why 4x2 doesn't work. It works on the emu but not on the device. The other sizes seem fine though. I'll look into it tomorrow.
Very cool looking digital clock widget! Great design.
My new favorite clock app !
What I really like about it is the way you can change colors.. gradient is a nice option.
Nice work mate !
Upload the APK please
Could you please attach the APK file here for the comfort of downloading?
It would be a great help.
Thanks
Arindam
Added the apk file to the original post.
New release now has shadows, more layout options, another clock format and some bug fixes. However I wasn't able to figure out the 4x2 widget issue so it's disabled for now.
looking awesome.
Good luck on the 4x2 widget.
Figured out the 4x2 issue. Still trying to get a good design on handling the app launch feature. One problem is you can have multiple widgets so if I disable the tap to config then you'll have to delete and re-add to change options. One idea is to have a popup that you either choose the app or the config, not as great as just tap to launch.
Awesome...The best clock widget till date...works great on my xperia x10.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
The clock seems kinda small, seems there is a lot of space to spare. See screenshot, bottom is the size I would want(Self-made clock widget), top is current size.
Awesome update man, 1.5 is simply awesome.
There's something "wrong" with the 1.5 version (market update)..
I've downloaded and installed your attached 1.4.1 file in first post just to be sure my eyes were ok..
When I set clock colours (white 100% and white 50%), the gradient is not as smooth as it used to be on 1.4.1
For the size not being as large as you want, try bumping up the font size and turning off clipping. Set the date's vertical alignment to bottom and the clock's to top. That should give you what you're looking for. And if the font size is maxed let me know and I'll increase it.
For the gradient issue. I know exactly what why it happens. I could go into tech details but basically to get the 4x2 working I had to reduce the rgba depth. I'll go back and increase it for all the smaller sizes.
Yeah, font size was maxed out. Perhaps make that setting a text input, shouldn't have any limits and be precise enough then.
Hey knoxcoder, I LOVE your widget, but as Poodlemastah points out, there's this major drawback of not being able to launch our app of choice when tapping it. This is a must have for all clock widgets.
Most of us like to set our alarms by just tapping on the clock widget, and right now I find myself using TWO clock widgets because of this... yours because it's the best looking, and another one in the adjacent home screen just to launch the alarms app... lol.
Even if it means having to re-add the widget once you add this feature, I still think it will be worth it in the long term... it's just a must-have for most people.
As Poodlemastah has suggested, I think the behaviour most of us would expect is:
Both the "add -> widget" option from the home screen and the icon in the app drawer will take us to the config screen. There, we can set all the parameters as we want them (including which app to launch).
Now, as you've said, there can be multiple instances of the widget, so maybe the ideal setup would be being able to "save" different clock configs from the settings menu (without necessarily applying them to any instance), then choosing which one of them to apply at the moment we add the widget to a homescreen. That way, it wouldn't be such a hassle to re-add them everytime, because the config would be saved.
It would be a matter of making the user conscious of this change by just re-arranging the settings menu: when we open it, it shows the options "Create new clock...", "Edit existing clock...", etc. That way, they would realize each clock is saved independently, and they would be asked for a name first of all, so that they would actually remember what it was called when they want to load it up.
Example:
· I open mClock settings
· I'm presented with 3 options: "Add existing clock to home screen"; "Create new clock..."; "Edit/delete existing clocks...".
· I choose "Create new clock..."
· I'm asked for a name, I name it "My clock".
· I'm then presented with the clock settings screen, which I procceed to adjust to my liking.
· At the bottom, I see 2 buttons: "Save" and "Cancel". I click "Save".
· After that, I'm taken back to the settings screen.
· I now choose "Add existing clock to home screen".
· I'm presented with a list of the existing clocks already created.
· I choose "My clock".
· The clock is added to a home screen (the central one, I guess?), and I'm automatically taken there to see it.
Another way to add a clock would be to go to a home screen, choose the "add widget" option in the launcher, and choose "mClock", in which case I would be taken to the same settings menu as before. The only difference would be that the clock would get added to the same screen from which I called the "add widget" option.
I don't know if this would be such a big hassle to make, or if it's impossible at all, since I haven't done any Android development yet. I'm only talking from a usual programmer and UI designer point of view
Let me know what you think.

3/2/11 BLUE SK-i for CHT - Advanced CHT Theme with many new features

This isn't so much a theme as a showcase for just how far we can push CHT now. I have spent the past few weeks creating new widgets and quick/freelinks, editing and adding to existing core CHT widgets, editing core CHT lua and mode9 scripts and basically seeing if I could enhance the CHT experience for everyone. A huge amount of credit has to go to Poyensa, rat_2665, MichelDiamond and everyone else on the beta teams who have put up with my neverending requests for help and advice (a few months ago I had never so much as opened an lua script let alone have any knowledge as to how to write them!). Thanks in particular to Poyensa who's original background widget provided the spark for this whole idea, and to zaxXx from away back for creating the original page switcher widget which gave me the idea for one of the new sets of links.
OK, so over the next few posts I will explain to you screen by screen what has gone into the layout you see above. I will share all of the new and edited widgets, the new links, the icons, scripts, links, tweaks and everything else that makes it up. I'll also be posting the original photoshop files for some of the icons/softkeys/etc so you can extend the sets or edit them as you like. But as an initial overview of what there is to come here is a list:
NEW - Page Switch Quick/Freelink Set
NEW - All People (Contacts) Quick/Freelink
NEW - Calendar (Month View) Quick/Freelink
NEW - MinimalWeather widget
NEW - Extended Background Widget Set (7 in total - user definable) incl edited home mode9 file by Poyensa to allow up to 40 widgets and place all seven backgrounds behind nearly everything else on screen
EDIT - CHT Standalone Weather Widget - 3rd layout option added
EDIT - BL Weather Widget
SKIN - HD Mini Lock Slider and Notification Icons
SKIN - Manila Lock Slider
SKIN - CHT Music Widget incl edited lua and mode9 scripts
SKIN - CHT Standalone Clock (only because after everything else I couldn't be arsed making another widget )
SKIN - Quick/Freelink Icon Frame incl CHT_Freelinks lua edit so contact links show frame but internet bookmarks don't (needed for weather screen)
SKIN - Page Indicators
SKIN - Softkeys and dock
SKIN - Toggle Switches and Icons
SKIN - Email and SMS widgets including (if required) email widget mode9 edit so it now uses a different qtc image than the Sense email tab)
ICONS - for lockscreen quick launch of dialer and camera, and several other apps
Probably more stuff that I can't remember!
UPDATE - Friends screen modified again with addition of skinned RSS reader showing Facebook status feed. Click on the image to jump to the tutorial...
I also use the TouchX cab attached below to remove the top bar background where the page indicators/etc sit.
There are tutorials in the next seven posts showing you exactly what to do to set up each screen. Each post has the relevant widgets, links and icons attached along with URL links to any additional info or software you might find helpful. The BLUE SK-i Source zip attached to this post contains everything. Click on the following links to jump straight to any of the individual tutorials:
Page Switch Links Tutorial - includes new Page Switch Links
Background Widget Set Tutorial - includes new Background Widget Set
Friends Screen Tutorial - includes new All People Link
Weather Screen Tutorial - includes modified CHT Weather Widget
Agenda Screen Tutorial - includes new Calendar (month view) Link
Media Screen Tutorial
Lockscreen Tutorial - includes new MinimalWeather Widget
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

GUIDE TO THE EASY BITS OF THE THEME
The next few posts cover the new and more involved elements that make up BLUE SK-i and guide you through how to construct each screen. You will need an icon changer to apply some of the new icons to Programs (I use JWMD Icon Changer), and I've included CFCGUI in the Source zip in case you want to edit any of the manila qtc files. But to get you started here are some basic instructions for the centre screen and the email and messaging screens.
Getting Started - the CHT settings
The settings used in this theme are as follows:
CHT lockscreen enabled with HD Mini lock screen selected
One level with 7 pages and page 4 as default
Quick link and freelinks with icon frames, text background and text all hidden
All Snap to Position settings (freelinks, widgets, etc) set to 5 pixels
Enable lockscreen sliding set to On in Freelinks
CHT Softkeys enabled
Subtext colour for SMS and Email widgets set to 11,75,136
Enhanced Animation
Show Page Indicator
HQ Wallpaper
Subtext Color set to 173,233,255 (used by Appointments and Tasks widgets)
Don't Link to Widgets set to OFF so notification icons jump to email/SMS widget screens when pressed.
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN POSTS 2 & 3 to install the new Page Switch Links and Background Widget set before you do anything else.
Then you need the following widgets installed (only install these after you have successfully installed the background set):
CHT Standalone Analog Clock - included in the zip folder
BL Group Weather Widget V3 - thanks to Moonah
The rest of the widgets are new or modified and are included later in the thread.
Centre Screen including toggle switches:
1. Page Indicators
2. BLUE SK-i skin for CHT Standalone Analog Clock widget
3. BLUE SK-i toggle switch set - only the ones shown are included but you'll find a link at the bottom of this post to the Token icon set so you can make your own if you need more. I made the Restart Sense one to match. The lightbulb icon is a Program freelink to Flashlight. Don't ask about the 3G/Auto toggle switch - I could tell you but I'd have to kill you (all I'll say is keep watching the CHTS thread for the next release...)
4. BLUE SK-i skin for CHT Softkeys and background
Email and SMS Screens:
The skins for the email and SMS widgets took a little bit of doing. I wanted the same look for them as the backgrounds on the other screens but you can't use light transparencies here because of the way messages are 'stacked'. If you try to use a transparent message background all you end up seeing is the text from the messages below so you can't read anything. So I took screenshots of the screens I was going to place the widgets on and then used those screenshots to select the exact section of the wallpaper that would be visible on those screens (Page 3 for email and page 5 for SMS). I then took a png copy of the existing email and SMS background qtc files and overlaid them on the relevant sections of the wallpaper image. I then selected the background shapes and used the selection to cut out the shapes from the wallpaper image. I then placed the cutouts over the original png images to get the positioning correct and deleted the original images. It was tehn just a case of adding the same semi-transparent black overlay as the background widgets (15% Opacity) to the new message backgrounds and adding some drop shadow to finish off. Converted them back to qtc using CFCGUI. It is then just a case of placing the widgets on the correct pages and positioning them so that the image lines up exactly with the wallpaper. I reckon the effect is pretty much spot on! I have included in the zip folder the Photoshop file I used for making them which is hopefully self explanatory if you want to try the smae thing with any other wallpaper of your choosing. I have also included the Photoshop file for the three small icons used in both widgets (new message, delete and menu).
Additionally I have edited the co0kieemail.mode9 file so that the email widget now uses a different background image to the Sense email tab so you don't need to worry about text colours on the email tab not showing up if the background you use for the widget requires a light text. If you want to add this tweak you'll find it in the zip in the Email/SMS folder in a subfolder named Email mode9 Mod. The manila name for the new qtc file is
The theme cab attached to this post will install all of the basic elements of the theme which do not require any additional widgets so basically the Page Indicators, core CHT toggle switches, notification bubble, softkeys and dock bar, music widget skin and mode9 edit, quicklink icon frame and CHT_Freelinks.lua edit, email and SMS widget skins. Each of these elements are also included in the zip folder individually as both seperate cab files and just as file sets if you just want to copy and paste.
The BLUE SK-i Source zip folder attached to this post includes a subfolder named 'Cab Files' which includes cabs for the various basic elements of BLUE SK-i, plus folders for each element of the basic theme which contain the actual files (manila files, pngs, etc) along with any relevant Photoshop psd files you might need to extend or edit to meet your own requirements.
The 1440x800 wallpaper is attached in the BLUE SK-i Wallpaper zip. I don't have any wallpaper set for Lockscreen in the Set Wallpaper screen so it just picks up the first 480 wide section of the main 1440x800 wallpaper.

CHT Home Page Switch Links
OK, so let's get down to it! There are two really cool things at the core of BLUE SK-i, the first of which are the new CHT Page Switch Links. I knew from zaxXx's original Page Switcher widget that it was possible to create something which would let you jump directly to each page on the CHT widget level (Level 1) but wanted to have more flexibility. So I set about creating a completely new set of links to allow you to do just that.
Once you install the Page Switch Links cab and soft reset (the first of many many many you will have to do to get all of this to work!) you will find in the Add Free Link menu a new choice - Home Page Switch Links. So, long press on your home screen wherever you want to place a switch link, select Add Free Link>Home Page Switch Links. IN here you should only be able to see visible the page switch links for the number of portrait screens you have set in CHTE. So if you only have a three screen setup you should only see Page1, Page 2 and Page 3, but if you have a seven page setup you should see 1-7 (you get the idea I'm sure!). Select the link you want and place it as normal. Now when you press on it you should jump directly to your chosen screen.
The page switch links respect your animation setting in CHTE, so if you have animation turned off the switch should be pretty much instant. If you have animation turned on (either setting) then you should briefly see your wallpaper scrolling to your chosen page and then your widget's/links/etc will appear.
In the screenshots the page switch links are the words down the left side of the screen and the home icon in the top left. Well actually that isn't stricly accurate - for BLUE SK-i I wanted to add a little more functionality to the 'sidebar' so I skinned the CHT_email and CHT_messages notification icons to match the page switch icon skin. So the MAIL and MESSAGES icons in the screenshots are actually the notification icons, which means you get the message count alongside and as you know in CHT 2.0 pressing these will take you to the screen with the email/SMS widget on it so it does the same thing as the page switch links. It took a bit of playing about to get the positioning of the text within the 128x128 png right so the message count bubble sat close enough to the text, but also so the text could be exactly lined up with the page switch links when placed (look at the actual icons and you'll realise what I mean - otherwise the bubble would have sat too far out into the screen).
The link cab installs with just basic icons - just the text PAGE 1, PAGE 2, etc - but as with all of the other CHT icons they are just png files stored in \Windows on your phone. They are all named CHT_pageswitch_1.png, and so on. If you want the full BLUE SK-i look I have attached a zip file containing the BLUE SK-i skinned page switch icons, a cab to install them (if you're feeling lazy ) and a Photoshop psd file which you can use to add/edit. The home icon is used for CHT_pageswitch_4.png in BLUE SK-i as it is the page I have set in CHTE as the default page (middle one of 7).
To get the full BLUE-SKi setup for the 'sidebar' that you see in the screenshots takes quite a bit of setting up (there are six links on each of the seven screens so 42 links to place in total!) but once you've done it the functionality is great. I did look at trying to edit the CHT_Freelinks.lua to add the ability to 'pin' freelinks just like you can with widgets but there is an awful lot to it, and as you don't want exactly the same links on each page anyway I decided not to do this at the moment.
CHT Background Widget Set
And the second really cool thing at the core of BLUE SK-i is the background widget set. I basically took Poyensa's original background widget and used it as a base to create seven identical widgets, giving you pretty much endless possibilities for creating cool new backgrounds on which to place and combine other widgets/freelinks/etc and have them look like one complete widget. It also means that you no longer have to build backgrounds into the wallpaper to get this effect, which also restricts you to a maximum of three screens.
I have also added in complete defineability (if such a word exists!) allowing you to specify the opacity value, width, and height for the background and even the ability to specify the name that will show for the background in the Add Widget menu! All of these definitions are set by simple registry edits so you'll need to get hold of a reg editor if you don't already have one.
The attached zip folder contains seven background widget cabs which will install the backgrounds you see used in the screenshots. You can choose to install any number of these and after you have installed them you can easily edit them using the reg changes and new images. However to get them to appear behind everything else on screen you first need to update the home.mode9 file. You will find a cab to install the mode9 and make the necessary reg edit in the zip folder with the widget cabs. The one Poyensa has edited for me is based on a 40-slot fix beta by mike2nl and makes the first eight widget slots appear behind eveything else so I have his original background widget and my seven installed and working perfectly. As an added bonus, and because the backgrounds will use up to eight widget slots mike2nl's mode9 is also modified to allow up to 40 CHT widgets to be installed (the original maximum was only 20) so you shouldn't run out of space!
INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL INSTALLATION OF BACKGROUND WIDGET SET
1. Using registry editor go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down until you find the widget slot entries - CHT.AddonWidgets.Slot0/1/2/3...
2. Take a note of the widgets you currently have installed in slots 0 - 8. These are the slots which the background widgets MUST be installed into.
3. Exit your reg editor and uninstall the widgets you have just noted down - don't worry you can reinstall them all again once you've installed the backgrounds. You can uninstall all of them at once without soft resetting every time, but once you've uninstalled the last one you will need to soft reset.
4. Install the Modified Home Mode9 cab and soft reset again.
5. Install Poyensa's original background widget first and then each of the seven new ones in turn - again you only need to soft reset after you have installed all eight. You don't have to install Poyensa's one or for that matter the whole of the new set, but you might as well so you have as much flexibilty as possible.
6. Final checks in registry to make sure everything has gone to plan - go to HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila again and first check that CHTI.AddonWidgets.Count is now set at 40, then scroll down and check that the eight background widgets have installed correctly in slots 0 to 8. While you're there you might as well also scroll back up to find the entries that have been added further up for each of the 7 new background widgets - CHT.duncBG1.Width\Height\Opacity\Name. These four entries for each widget allow you to completely redefine it as many times as you like
7. Reinstall any widgets which you removed to make space and soft reset again (I did warn you!)
OK so if all of that has gone to plan you should now have eight background widgets successfully installed on your phone which you can place/move/resize like any other widgets but which should always appear behind nearly everything else on your home screen (with the exception of the CHT Music Widget and the CHT Text Clock widget - no idea why and Poyensa hasn't been able to figure it out yet either).
OK so now you want to edit the backgrounds to suit your own theme...
HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY EDIT BACKGROUND WIDGET SETTINGS AND IMAGES
You can replace the manila files for each of the backgrounds and edit the dimensions and opacity in the registry but there are a few rules you MUST follow to avoid any problems.
The first thing that you need to understand is that manila likes qtc images to adhere to certain dimensions. After looking into problems with the Oxygene clock widget not showing properly on some ROMs rat_2665 and santod discovered that to avoid any problems with images not showing or showing as a white box the images you create and convert to qtc files need to have dimensions (width and height) which are exactly 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256 or 512 pixels. They can be any combination of these (16x512, 128x128, 512x128 and so on). OK so now that I've said that you can forget this for the first step!
1. Create the image you want to use for a background - don't worry about the size at this point, just get your image how you want it on screen.
2. Check your actual image dimensions in pixels.
You now have two choices depending on how much detail there is in your background image. If it is a simple image (just a black background for example) then:
3a. Resize your image using the allowed dimensions listed above to whatever dimensions are closest to your actual created image, so for example is you have created an image 280 wide by 150 high the resize (squash) it to 256x128. Don't worry - you can set the actual size again in the registry and manila will 'stretch' it back to your desired size.
...or if your image contains high detail such as gloss or actual images etc then:
3b. Choose the dimensions from the list above that are greater than your actual image size, so for example if you have created an image that is 432 wide by 480 high then select 512 x 512. Now resize your image canvas to this size and place your image in the top left of the new space. Again, don't worry if you have blank space around your image as the widget doesn't respond to touch other than in Edit Mode for moving and resizing so the blank space isn't going to interfere with anything.
So now you've created your image and resized it or resized the canvas:
4. Save your image in png format.
5. Using CFCGUI convert your png image to qtc format (I've included CFCGUI in the zip folder).
6. Rename the qtc file to the correct filename for whichever background widget you are editing as follows:
Background 1 - 34AC1773_manila
Background 2 - 4B42A9EB_manila
Background 3 - 34F48AA9_manila
Background 4 - 72D50B6D_manila
Background 5 - 266188FB_manila
Background 6 - 5E4310E5_manila
Background 7 - 303E6A92_manila
7. Copy/overwrite your renamed manila file to \Windows on your device.
8. Edit the background settings in the registry to suit your new background. If you used option 3a when resizing then simply make the Width and Height settings the size you actually want it to be. If you used option 3b then you need to specify the Width and Height to match the actual image size (canvas size) otherwise manila will squash/stretch it. You can also set the opacity value. Finally edit the Name entry so you can easily identify which background is which in the Add Widget list.
If you have copied a new qtc file to your device you will need to restart Sense for the changes to take effect. However if you have only made reg changes and not actually replaced the image file then all you need to do is long press on your home screen and select Edit Mode. The changes will take effect as soon as Edit Mode activates so you can close it again straight away.
And that's it! Quite a lot to take in I know but once you've done it a couple of times it really is a breeze. I'd suggest starting off by playing around with the reg settings for BG6 or BG7 to start with as they are just simple semi-transparent black squares - try editing all four reg entries and watch the effects on background and menu entry.
How to: Friends Screen
1. Friends Background
2. New All People Addon Link
3. Contact Freelinks
4. Social Networking App Freelinks
5. RSS Widget Mod showing Facebook status feed
6. Facebook app freelink
OK, so this screen is pretty simple to set up. Obviously you need the background widgets correctly installed then first off place the Friends Background widget on screen.
Number two is another new Addon link - this time it provides direct access to the All People contacts page. It has always bugged me that the People tab in Sense only initially takes you to the Favourite Contacts page, where actually I use the full Contacts (All People) page much more. So I created this new link. Download and install the link cab and soft reset. You will then find it in the Add Free Link menu in the Miscellaneous section, named Contacts. In this theme I have used a different icon which is attached to this post. After you have installed the link just download the new icon and copy/overwrite it to \Windows on your phone. Then place it in the top left of the background as shown.
Next place as many Contact freelinks as you like (it is designed to take 9, but if you scale the links down you can fit 16 or even 25 in!
Then I placed the two freelinks in the top right. The Skype icon is a Program Freelinks to the Skype app, and the Twitter one is the Twitter tab link.
Using the RSS widget to display your Facebook updates is pretty straightforward. I followed there instructions for THIS post in the CHT thread:
1.) While logged into facebook go to http://www.facebook.com/notes.php?friends
2.)Click on "My Friends Notes" in the right column under "Subscribe to These Notes". The page that open should have a url beginning http://www. followed by something like: facebook.com/feeds/friends_notes.php?id=12345678&key=123e4567d&format=rss20
3.)In the url address bar replace "friends_notes.php" with "friends_status.php"
4.)The finished url will look something like: facebook.com/feeds/friends_status.php?id=12345678&key=123e4567d&format=rss20 with the id and key being unique to your account.
(http://tjshome.com/blog/212/facebook/internet/guide)
5. Open the RSS Hub and add a new channel using the 'I know the Channels URL (RSS)' option and enter the url you have just found. I then named the channel 'Facebook' and clicked Finish.
6. If you only want your Facebook feed to show you need to delete any other channels you have in the Hub.
You need to have Poyensa's modified Resizeable RSS Widget installed (attached below) - if you already have the original RSS widget installed then uninstall it first and install the new one. Once you have the widget installed you need to install the BLUE SK-i skin which adds in Poyensa's mod allowing you to specify the colours for the Header and Text. It also adds in the two required registry entries (CHT.RSS.TitleColor and CHT.RSS.TextColor), sets the colours as shown and adds the transparent qtc files to remove the widget background and RSS icon.
You'll need a Sense restart to make the changes take effect, then add the RSS widget with 4 lines visible.
Finally place a Program freelink for the Facebook app and make it small enough to fit as shown.
Now a touch on the facebook icon opens the Facebook app, and a tough on the text opens the RSS feed as usual.
How to: Weather Screen
1. Weather Background widget
2. Modified CHT Standalone Weather Widget
3. Modified BL Group Weather Widget V3
4. Internet Bookmark Freelink
I love this screen! When I'm running Android I use Palmary Weather and whilst this isn't as complete it looks just as good!
The first thing to do is install the modified CHT weather widget attached to this post. If you already have the original version installed then you must uninstall it first, soft reset, then install this new version. The new version now contains a third layout option (the original two are still there and unaffected) which is shown in the screenshot.
BL Group Weather Widget Mod:
You also need to make sure you have the BL Group Weather Widget V3 installed. I tried to decompile the lua scripts from Moonah's widget cab to edit them and add this as an additional layout option but didn't have any luck so I have ended up editing the mode9 file instead. This is fine for this theme which uses the 5-day forecast with Detail layout, but the changes also affect all of the other layouts which mean they are all messed up a bit. I have posted in Moonah's thread asking for the widget kitchen so I could edit the raw scripts and remake the cab but he hasn't replied and as you can't PM him I am stuck with this solution for now. Now you need to open your registry editor again and find out which widget slot the BL Weather Widget is installed to on your phone (HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila and scroll down to CHTI.AddonWidgets.Slot? and look for BL_Weather. Take a note of the slot number.
In the zip folder you'll find a subfolder named BL Weather Mode9. You need to open the Widget Mode9 Filenames.txt and rename the manila file to match the filename required for the slot you have the widget installed in. Then simply copy/overwrite the renamed file to \Windows on you device and restart Sense. Then add the widget to the Weather screen and select one of the 5-Day with Detail layouts.
The edits to the layout have basically removed the current day icon and temp, removed the black dropshadow, resized and correctly aligned the day name in the details section and sorted out a few minor spacing and alignment issues. Although the current icon and temp have been removed in the upper section of the widget the detail section remains unchanged so it defaults to showing the current weather info, and returns back to it after a timeout if you press on the any of the four forecast icons to show those days detailed info.
The final preparation is to open your Opera browser and browse to your favourite online weather source. For me it is bbc.co.uk/weather and then set my home town as the default location and show the current 24 hour forecast. You then need to save it as a favourite, navigate to the Sense Internet tab and add it there as a Favourite Bookmark. Then you need to open your File Manager and go to \Windows\Thumbnail. In there you will find pngs of the mini screen captures that Sense uses for the Internet Tab favourites. Identify which one is the screencapture of your weather favourite and replace the png with the 'more weather online' png included in the zip. To do this you need to rename the 'more weather' png with exactly the same name as the one you've just identified (it is a very long name that will look something like {94CA7D97-ACD4-15CE-59F1-3E6170C59991}.png! Then copy your renamed more weather png into the Thumbnail folder and overwrite. (Thanks to Framwella for the info on how to do this - HERE)
Now build your screen - background first then CHT Weather widget ('Modified' layout option), then BL Weather Widget (5-Day with Detail layout option) and finally add the Bookmark freelink you have just saved.
And there you have it - a full featured weather screen with animated current icon which links to either the Sense weather tab or whichever weather app you have specified in CHTE, a four day forecast with details, and a quick link to your favourite online weather service
The weather theme shown in the screenshots is based on the Tick weather icon sit by xiao4 on deviantArt. Credit for the Tick skin for the BL widget goes to Mr BeOTP2 who created it for Windroid a few themes back. This skin is included in the zip - just install the cab and it will overwrite the existing icon set in \Program Files\TitaniumWeather\Spil. There is a Sense style icon set for the BL widget by sodycc HERE - you'd need uninstall the widget first then reinstall using his cab, then overwrite the mode9 file as described.
7/2/11 - If you are having problems with the MinimalWeather widget showing a white square where the temp should be then download the MinimalWeather Fix zip, extract and overwrite the manila file to Windows on your phone, restart Sense and issue should be resolved - apologies, just a problem with the dimensions of the qtc image (I should have known better )
How to: Agenda Screen
1. Weather Background
2. New Calendar Addon Link
3. CHT Appointments Widget - Slim Header, extended to show three appointments
4. Program freelink to SenseTasks (always goes to main screen with task list and 'New Task' button.
5. CHT Tasks Widget - Slim Header, extended to show four tasks
I use the slim header layout for the Appointments and Tasks widget as the 'Agenda' and 'To Do' text is part of the background. The I added back in the links to give the functionality to access the date picker (Sense Calendar Tab>Month View) and the New Task feature in SenseTasks. I have also used the CHT Transparent Calendar cab attached below which works a treat.
Why a new Calendar link I hear you ask? Well, the problem with the CHT Calendar Tab Link is that it always takes you to whatever view you left he Sense Calendar tab on the last time you were there (so if you were in a specific day it takes you back there). I wanted a link that always took me directly to the date picker (current month) view. So I made another Addon Link which does exactly this.
To get exactly this look you need to edit the text colours in CHTE> Miscellaneous as shown:
The icon I made for the SenseTasks link is attached below. I used JWMD Icon Changer to change the icon.
How to: Media Screen
1. BLUE SK-i Skin for CHT Music Widget
2. Music Background (lower section)
3. Program freelinks
This is the easiest screen to set up, although it did take a bit of working out because I couldn't make a background for the whole screen like in the other screens as the music widget is one of the ones that always appears behind any background widget. So I had to skin the music widget background with a straight cutoff at the bottom, then make the music background identical but cut straight across at the top so the two could be placed together on screen to give the impression of one single background!
Just install the music skin cab below which includes the coOkiemusicplayer.lua and mode9 mods to change the text colours. BTW, the album art shown in the screenshot is the No Album Art default image included in the skin cab.
Then add the Music Background and position the two to give the single background effect. Then it is just a case of adding in program freelinks in the lower background section to whatever you like. Mine are from left to right:
Audiobooster
FM Radio
myPlayer
Games folder shortcut (see THIS post for instructions on how to do this)
Bookmark freelink to youtube.com (see the How to: Weather Screen post for instructions on how to add your own icons for bookmarks)
How to: Lockscreens
1. MIUI Analog Clock Widget
2. Poyensa's original background widget, Full Screen 25%
3. Modified CHT Weather Widget, Graphic Only layout
4. MinimalWeather widget
5. Quick launch program freelinks
6. Slider Notification icons
7. HD Mini Lock Slider
I use the CHT HD Mini lockscreen for BLUE SK-i because I love the functionality of the message/email/missed calls notification in the lock slider where if you slide to unlock touching on the notification icon it takes you straight to the email/sms widget or the Call History screen.
I also love the ability on any CHT lockscreen to add Program freelinks so you can slide to unlock directly to those apps. I use Camera and Dialer quick launches as they are my most used apps.
The BLUE SK-i Lockscreens cab attached below includes the skin for the HD Mini lockscreen shown, plus a skin for the Manila style lockscreen, although as you may have already skinned the CHT email and message notification icons to work with the page switch links and they wouldn't look great used on the Manila lockscreen I'd recommend sticking with the HD Mini option.
So to build the screen first open CHTE and enable the CHT Lockscreen, selecting the HD Mini style.
Then make sure you have the widgets installed that you want to include. I have attached the MIUI clock cab and the new MinimalWeather cab (more about that below), and you can find the modified CHT Weather cab in the How to: Weather Screen post.
Then from your home screen open the CHT menu and select Edit Lockscreen Layout.
Place the background first, then add the clock and the two weather widgets and finally any quicklaunch program links you want to include.
Once you are happy with your layout just slide to unlock and the changes are saved.
MinimalWeather Widget
This is a really simple little widget I made as an 'Add On' for the BL Weather widget. You have to have this widget installed first as MinimalWeather gets the temp and condition info from the registry entries the main widget creates. I tried to find out where Sense gets it's information from but couldn't get my head around it so this was the best solution I could come up with!
It has three layouts - temperature only, conditions only, and temp and conditions. Also you can edit the text alignment and colors through the registry as shown:
The settings for alignment are:
0 = Aligned Left
1 = Aligned Centre
2 = Aligned Right
Values in the two colour strings need to be in 255,255,255 (RGB) format with no spaces.
Any changes should be live and shouldn't require Sense restart to take effect. At the worst you might need to enter and exit Edit Mode.
Lockscreen Quicklaunch Icons
The two icons I made for the Camera and Dialer quicklaunch links are attached below. Just use JWMD Icon Changer to replace the icons as normal.
4/2/11 - Uploaded new cab for MinimalWeather Widget including fix for wrong reg key name for setting alignment.
7/2/11 - If you are having problems with the MinimalWeather widget showing a white square where the temp should be then download the MinimalWeather Fix zip, extract and overwrite the manila file to Windows on your phone, restart Sense and issue should be resolved - apologies, just a problem with the dimensions of the qtc image (I should have known better )
....
(sorry, don´t find the words atm)
Three letters come into mind.
WOW.
WOW indeed!!
Nice job Dunc.
I have known you were busy with this, as I could see your activity in the Dbox.
I applaud you for your time, effort, and skills used to make all of this happen.
I only wish I had more time myself, to join in the fun now and again.
Unfortunately school has now taken the forefront for me again.
So, anyhow, thank you very much for all your hard work.
Keep it up. You've done a great job improving your skills.
Congrats on another job well done.
Fantastic looking Theme !!! Great results
jings crivvens help ma boab!
when I saw this in the today screen thread I was impressed.....

[APP][2.2+][WIDGET] UCCW - custom widget for all

[APP][WIDGET] UCCW - Make your own widgets
UCCW - Ultimate custom clock widget.
https://market.android.com/details?id=in.vineetsirohi.customwidget
Make your own widgets, just the way you like.
Install countless skins from Google play or use 'uzips' (fully editable UCCW skin files) made by your friends.
UCCW is a WYSIWYG (What-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor for widgets. You can tweak the layout of objects, fonts, images, shapes, Analog clocks, battery meters, weather and more.
Features
Widget objects - text, shapes, images, weather, graphic (progress), analog clock etc.
Text objects - calendar, weather, battery info, Gmail, location, next calendar event, tasker variables
Graphical objects - barcode, bar, pie
Special objects - Week bar, Series clock
Text mapping to override text values
Hotspots
Set actions that fire when a user clicks on the widgets. Customize their location and size.
Sharing skins
Want to share your awesome skins with the world? Share uzip files or create apks right from within app to upload on Google play.
Note
UCCW needs to run in the background to update home screen widgets. Android Oreo and above need a persistent notification for background processing.
App Permissions
Storage - for saving skins
Your location - to show the user location and fetching weather data
Network communication - for weather and ads
Your social information - for direct dial hotspot
Your personal information - to show the next calendar event
Your accounts - for Gmail unread mails count

IGNORE this post
I like the widget.
Some suggestions/ bugs:
- if I choose 100% alpha for background, analog clock, etc. it is not really invisible, there is still a shadow
- instead to turn the alpha to 100% to make background, analog clock, etc. invisible give a selection to turn off (e.g dont show background)
- I cant use any of my picture for background
- in the settings gui in portrait mode we have to scroll to the right side. Why dont you use 2 rows for all the settings buttons?

- I cant use any of my picture for background - what do you use to set picture? gallery? file manager? which file manager?
- in the settings gui in portrait mode we have to scroll to the right side. Why dont you use 2 rows for all the settings buttons? - because of less space available
version 1.0.1

- drawing order of members can be set now

Yes, use pictures with low size. the product of height and width of the picture should be less than 120000, preferably of the same size as background dimensions for best result.

Q: Several HTC Widgets are missing - can't add them to my homescreen.
A: Settings->apps->all apps: choose HTC Sense and clear data.​
Q: How do I install the Rom?!
A: Installation instructions are in the 5th post at the bottom.​
Q: What`s the md5 sum thing?
A: It ensures, that the Rom is downloaded correct and completely to avoid weird issues when installing/using the Rom. Google for "md5 sum checker" and you should find what you need.​
Q: My phone stucks on HTC splash screen
A: "fastboot erase cache" in fastboot and flash the boot.img or use the boot.img flasher provided here.​
Q: Whats the boot.img. Why we need to flash it?
A: The boot.img is the kernel and has to be flashed if you want your Rom running well. HTC Dev Unlock doesn`t allow to install the kernel directly when installing the Rom in recovery, that`s why you need to install it manually.​
Q: I found a theme or mod, will it work on this rom?
A: It's NOT recommended to use mods/themes that don`t clearly state, that they are compatible with our Rom. Themes/Mods always use framework files which will break mods/stuff in our Rom.​
Q: My question is not listed here, what to do?
A: Ensure you used the xda search, google and your brain before asking a question in the thread. If you can`t find an answer yourself we will answer your question for sure! (-:​
Q: What`s that CM Status Bar brightness mod?
A:
Q: Why does the CM Status Bar brightness mod not work on my device?
A: Make sure Auto Brightness is NOT activated​
Q: Why do I have an empty space in EQS?
A: Just hide NFC in tweaks hide n reorder, our device does not support NFC​
Q: Why does show unlock animation not work?
A: It DOES work as long as you`ve been on homescreen before you locked and have the clock widget there.​
Q: Why is infinite scrolling sometimes laggy and I even see an empty screen?
A: The implementation is still buggy, but we left it on user request.​
Q: Why does my swype2unlock doesn`t work?
A: Seems you mix up sweep2wake from shows bricked kernel with swype2unlock
sweep2wake is kernel related and makes it possible to turn screen off and on by swiping your finger from back to menu key.
swype2unlock isn`t a kernel feature. It makes it possible to unlock your Lockscreen intead of moving the ring by sliding your finger from back to menu button and NOT to wake your device and put it into sleep.​
Q: The cube effect isn't working on the app drawer
A: The cube effect just appears when you swype from the all tabs over to the frequent to the download tab.​
Q: Volume wake isn`t working after some time when the device is in deep sleep.
A: This is a kernel issue, no way I can fix it in the Rom.​
Q: How do I know whether a tweak needs a reboot to work?
A: Usually the white reboot button top right corner will turn white. Just press it and your device or Status bar will reboot and apply the tweak.​
Q: I have problems ending a call, problems with lags when making a call, or low volume issues.
A: Some users reported that it`s related to the fine/finest volume tweak. Set it to normal to fix your issue.​
Q: I have Dialer or other FC after a mod/Theme/Rom flash?
A: Always fully boot your device first, then boot again in recovery. One S creates some cache issues after flashes, which most of the time are solved when wiping cache in recovery.​
Q: I need someone repackaging a kernel
A: Kernels don`t need to be repacked for our Rom. We don`t have ramdisk tweaks. So you are able to flash the kernel straight from the kernel devs thread.​
Q: What are the correct sizes for the app drawer and notfication pulldown background?
A: Try 540x960.​
Q: What are the correct sizes for custom carrier logo?
A: Try 100x100​
Q: Why are there not enough custom options in Status Bar and Sense Theming section?
A: Click on GET MORE first and install your favorite theme packs first .​
Q: What`s the Venom Hub?
A: The Hub is the place, where you can download and install new themes, icon or font packs.​
Q: I want to apply new custom Status Bar logo?
A: Again - the Hub is the place or make your own and choose it from your SD.​
Q: Why do I need the additional addon package?
A: You don`t need iit, but it saves you the hassle to download the full ROM, if you only want to remove bloatware or add useful stuff like new boootanimations, fonts or AOSP apps.​
Q: I installed Venom Red Theme on 1rst ROM installation, but I don`t see anything red?
A: You need to activate Skin under personalize, Status Bar and Sense Themes in Tweaks app first.​
Q: Will there be CRT On/OFF support in the next release?
A: NOT possible, because HTC changes some required code in their libs, that makes it impossible.​​​
If you writing about bug, please attach logcat, say what you do before, what mods you install!
You must give me some information or i can't help you!
I can't read your mind, so don't post messages like "i have FC", without any addtional information))))​
Major bugs (high priority):
None
Minor bugs (low priority):
Infinite scrolling seems smooth but going from 7 to 1 and 1 to 7 is laggy
Burst mode in camera is still not 100% workable
Battery percent jumping (kernel issue)
HTC Background img size in full rosie
App icon drag lag in full rosie
Download the ROM
Flash the ROM (AROMA Installer will pop up)
Choose Fullwipe (important)
Choose the mods you want
Reboot
The Rosie (HTC Sense launcher) needs about 5-10 minutes to get the best speed, so it needs some time of playing until you have the best speed
Battery life is the best after 3 charginig cycles so give the ROM a chance
Sharing policy:
For all ROM chefs and developers: Please do not use any part of this ROM without a permission, we put countless hours of work into this ROM, every files is watermarked and kangs can be recognized very easily, so do not even try it and show respect for our work, thanks​
MD5 : 08695417997076e7a8d1abc619980cb0
Before you are download,
if you feel some lag, because max frequency of kernel is default 1.0 ghz.
then you have to increase max frequency of kernel as over 1.2ghz

Tweaks Documentation by Sneakyghost from One S and Edited by Me
Venom ViperDHD Tweaks Documentation - a long guide through the tweaks options​
Tweaks for Version 2.0.0​
Introduction
The Tweaks basically enable the user to modify many aspects of the Android and Sense system. Since these are all non-generic things, meaning not authored, tested and verified by HTC, they can and will contain bugs and can and will cause issues on your device. However, we are trying to even out as many of them as possible over time. You are welcome to report any unknown problems to us. Before you report though, go through this document and check if it’s already a known thing. Then we don’t need a report. It is also a good idea to check the FAQ section before reporting.
The Tweaks consist of two Apps. One is the actual tweaking App, which is responsible for executing the tweaks and one is the Venom Hub, which serves the contents. Both are linked up. You can access the Hub from within the Tweaks App. Once you downloaded content in the HUB and pressed install, you can change to the Tweaks App and select your content there for activation.
Disclaimer
Since you read and understood the above, you are aware that these modifications will void your warranty and you are the sole responsible person for these changes. We do not accept any responsibility for damage to your device, software and/or personal data stemming from your use of the tweaks app or the HUB and content. We neither accept any claims concerning damage to your private life in consequence of excessive Viper Contact. This is defined as addiction and needs a psychiatrist. We also do not pay lawyers for Divorce Cases resulting from Wife Neglection.
Document Logic:
The Tweaks App has a title bar at the top, its functions in the middle and a Tab-Bar at the bottom.
The title bar has a caption reading the current ROM Name and Version at the left hand side and a square button at the right side. This button is essential. It shows a white circle which is grayed out if you can enable a tweak without a reboot and it turns white as soon as a reboot is required. Watch this button. If you see that you need to do a reboot, it is important to do it right away (before enabling more tweaks) to ensure correct execution of the Tweak. If you don’t, you might find that some tweaks did not apply and you will have to repeat it.
The middle section is white with several compartments separated by Headlines, containing various tweak functions or links to a subpage. A subpage can be another full menu with functions and/or links to a sub-subpage. It can also be a List or a Pop-Up.
The Tab-Bar has 7 Tabs.
We will now go through the seven Tabs sequentially, starting at the most left. For each Tab, the subpages will be titled as they are in the App and follow the main page description.
I now decided to leave the document without screenshots as those would just make the post very massive and up till now there had only been a few people not understanding the tweaks. Please feel free to ask if you do not understand something.
I will use numbering from 1 to 7 for the tabs, letters from a-z for the Tweak Items and letters from a-z for the subpages. So a Tab is 1, a Tweak Item is 1.a, a subpage to that Tweak Item is 1.a.a.
1.Tab: “About”
Shows a link to the XDA Thread instead of the reboot option in the title bar.​
Shows links to the main developers and their Profiles, also their donate link.
Shows a link to various Social Sites to stay up to date with Venom.
Shows a link to the “Profiles” Function at the Bottom.

These Sub-Subpages will not be numbered as there count differs, depending on how many icons there are in the pack. There basically is one sub-subpage for each icon.
Hint: select the Pack which contains most icons you want to use with the “Theme Pack” link, then pick the single ones you want to have with other icons. If you do it vice-versa, it’s more work

Headline: Boot
7.i. Item: “Custom boot animation”
--> Lets you pick a custom bootanimation. Those can also be obtained via the Hub for example.
7.j. Item: “Custom Down Animation”
--> Same as above for down animation.
7.k. Item: “Disable Boot sound”
--> If you haven’t done that already while installing (in Aroma Installer) you can now disable boot sound here.
This concludes the tweaks. Be sure to let me know wrong or missing descriptions. I did never use all tweaks and since the Dev team had been incredibly busy and could not answer every question I asked, some items descriptions are mere guesses and might not be fully correct. My sincere apologies
