http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2250095&postcount=43
Hello...just downloaded this version of CHome Weather and it looks amazing...great job. There's only one problem, probably related to the 240x320 cpr file because, like I already read in the excalibur forum, there's an issue in 240x320 where the background looks a little odd and doesn't fit the area like it supposed to. But again amazing job...keep it up
EDIT: I've just used a version of the 240 x 320 cpr file already used in another version of your plugin and it works great now
I was just now testing the other layouts and there are some issues:
- I realized that everytime i change the layout, it doesn't matter the cpr 240x320 file i did put there because when the layout is changed the cpr file is kind of replaced by the one corresponding to the sellected layout.
- In the HTC and Iphone layout, it shows always an icon with a cross below the icon of the current weather, instead of showing the icon corresponding to the weather.
- In regular layout, the gold and silver backgrounds don't work well in 320 x 240.
- In the regular layout, in the 1 and 3 layouts, I can't see the hi and low temperature.
Yeah, you'll have problems with the portrait layouts.
Is it possible to fix the problem with portrait?? That is the last thing, that keeps me from donating.
I am so happy with this program. I worked as Organic M's test subject to get this working. I can't say I notice the problem you guys are talking about in regards to portrait mode.
This is what I see:
have the author, removed the files from the location... I am unable to get those...
Can someone help plzzzzzzz!!!!!!!
Thanks

There are 2 links in the main post at the top of this thread.
The first one is the weather program
The second one is all the files that need to be installed to /windows on your device
Davis,
From your post, it looks like that screen is in ladscape mode. Portrait is taller than wider, yours looks wider than it is taller.
Thanks a lot.. I found the same at the post. I was just eager to get Weather update on my VOX...So got carried away...
Thanks

Well if you put it that way, you'll definitely NOT get me to fix the portrait layouts. How about.. "here's a small donation and small request... I would really appreciate it if you could work on the portrait layouts(which is a major PITA) so this works properly on my phone".
Well then I Only wanted to know if it is possible to do it. But I can live without it. I can look outside to see the weather. You know I made a lot of stuff for the Vox...but I never received ANY donation!!!
works beatifull. got no issues with any layout (i'm using plain black background). excellent job!
the only question i have is if it is possible to manually edit order of appearance on home screen somehow as i could do it in standard homescreens in _home.xml file?

This is definitely NOT what I wanted to happen here. I worked with Organic M to get this app to work with our phone models and he was nice enough to help us out.
This is far from the thanks that he deserves, since the app is designed for an entirely different model.
Why so serious? can't we all just... get along?

I think the Chome Configurator will allow you to change the order of Slides on your Home Screen.

I have no idea what you are talking about....
???
As I said I only wanted to know if it is posible nothing more. And I just wanted to clarify that people here are not thankful! I really do apreciate his work. And the work of all the other coders and cookers! I hope you understand my point!
Does this plugin use necessarily the whole width of the screen, or is it possible to customize its size or layout (present conditions, 2-days forecasts, 5-days forecasts...)?
At present I'm using Fizz Weather with Orange plugin on my Wings, in order to show an analoug clock and weather forecasts next to it (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=89987&d=1212446950); will it be possible to make the same thing with Chome Weather?
So... is anyone still interested in making this work better with the Vox ? Maybe ask some of your ROM cookers to look at the policies in the registry and ask them remove the restricts that don't allow cab files to copy files to the \windows directory ? Then I wouldn't have to make two separate .cab files when I released a new version That, and if anybody wants to help test the portrait layouts, we can make this happen.
Yes it would be great to see the weather plugin fully working on the Vox...that thing about the restrictions I never understood that because after checking myself the registry many times, I saw that the restrictions were disabled and the thing about installing files in the windows folder still remains a problem...
i really like atts default here. i just dont want that background and can only change it on the home tab. i figure i will just take the default theme, modify the background image and upload it with diamond tf3d config that i have installed to get rid of the att tab and other stuff. thanks!
i installed the cab for manila customizer. did a backup but that didnt help. is there anyway i can rip the theme so i can customize it? no one seems to have it for download. come on! this is the only thing i have left to get my fuze exactly how i want it. (yes i friggin love it and everyone who doesnt thing it isnt the most brilliant phone in the world must have holes drilled in their heads, the damn iphone freaks!)
Check this out dude: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2831041#post2831041
Restore the default AT&T theme.
Use mUn Background4AllPages, which will replace the default grey background with a transparent image, allowing the custom background on the Home tab to show through.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432951
mUn Background4AllPages was originally done for the OEM HTC TF3D theme, so there may be side effects since the AT&T theme uses a custom clock. Be sure to read the thread for any extra info.
yeah i tried that. it doesnt work. the background is solid black instead, the clock doesnt work and everything is moved a bit out of place. thanks for trying though.
i found out more how to do it. these files are under weird things named 4a087e41_manila and 5c9aa261_manila and i tried using manilla editor but its just freaking out with errors because the program isnt well written. it would be alot easier if that background4allpages worked. oh well ill just wait for something better. thanks anyways.
It's been a long minute since I posted one of these thingies. It's been like what, 6 months? Hehe I've been lagging on the new builds, sorry folks for not making a manilla release of my earlier work... my bad. The new kitchen ivanmmj put out is pretty chill and that's what I used to cook this bad boy up. As usual, it's RUU friendly.

Build 28205... If anyone knows of a cleaner build, lemme know
Apps included
Xtask - mapped to the button that used to be the comm manager for easy task switching
Opera Mini 5 [not the beta] with Jbed
Nice for certain folks to get to crackin on TCPMP again, always loved that app and now it's leaner, meaner, and skinned hehe thanks bimbam69
Total Commander
Arcsoft MMS 5.2.8.45
XDA Shutdown
I decided to theme this bad boy fingerkb got upgraded to Swype, this one's pimpin Xpressyourcell's dusk blue skin scaled down to qvga, and for kicks n giggles I preloaded the dictionary with some basic swear words, so you can be cussing like a sailor right from the get go!
JWMD Icon Changer is also here as well, it has dZenkinZ icon set loaded on there, my bad for forgetting the start menu selection, that was from another theme.
I modified my shellres.96.dll file and ripped out the icons from tacchan23's dusk taskbar, and someone's android taskbar (I can't remember for the life of me it was a whiles ago), resized some and replaced just a couple.
This is also using DJ Cedric Blue Carbon titanium replacement, plus some of the icons were thrown into my shellres.96.dll
Oh yea... the start button is also a bit different, I don't like the M$ logo, what can I say?
I finally got how to proprely set a default theme upon cooking and this one is using lyapa's Azenisll theme. It's pretty sick in my book. I did some slight touching up on a couple of icons within it.
The lockscreen is skinned grzegorz10's dusk lock screen.
Still using the old school 8 button touch comm manager from my previous build, but I threw in some color, same dialer as before, nothing new there.
The boot screen does not lampoon the "president" of the United States any more. The welcomehead96 is filled with such evil I cannot describe it here but you can view the thumbnail below. I'll say it once and I'll say it again, Steve Jobs is a **** and the animated splash screen shows Apple what I think of their products. My bad for not being able to cite the artist offhand, but all credits go out to him/her.
All picture files were resized to the original size came from the kitchen and given the original file names, as were the icons in the shellres.96.dll to save on space and to alleviate any potential issues.

hehe memory leaks come pretty much standard with winmo, I don't think it's as bad as it could be... Oxios works great for cleaning up the memory leak... perhaps I should include it in the next one.
Glad to see you back.
So what was the motive to use 28205?

Flash method
Hello Gonz0
Can this ROM be flashed using the Flash Center? I'm new to all of this and I'm not going to try to act like I know what I'm doing. I flashed my phone (Wing) once and was totally surprised when it worked. I want to try it again. Let me know. Thanks.
hehe yea, go for it man, it'll work with flash center; go for it...
Haven't tried the SD method myself with it coz I've only got SDHC... (8 GB oh no!!!)
Only reason I haven't made any of those slim roms with sick amounts of extra space is coz of that. Lousy flash center and your f*&#[email protected] 50MB limitation. If only knew more on hex-editing.
My bad I'm ranting there but to answer your question; yes.
I tried to use the flash center, but it wouldn't work. Is there another way to flash this ROM. Remember, I don't know anything and will need some instruction. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried running it as an administrator?
If so; your next best bet would be to do a hard SPL on your phone, info on that can be found here:
http://thewingster.com/Documents/How to HardSPL (Wing-Herald).pdf
After you do that, you can just run the RUU flasher with the ROM in the same folder and u will be good... no more flash center
Sorry for the late responses. Are you referring to administrator on the pc? If so then yes. The phone, then I wouldn't have a clue. Let me know, thanks.
Yep, run as admin on ur pc... don't worry about the lag, don't think XDA isn't going anywhere anytime soon
Thanks - great ROM
Hi,
Thanks for this ROM. The wing has been stable so far since I moved to this ROM. The only thing I dislike about the ROM is the childish start-button (yes, I know you hate the Windows logo there). Any way to change it to some other icon?
Keep developing.... Us "wingers" depend on cooks like you to have a "current" phone... Thank you!

hehe I feel yah the start button is a bit childish to some, now if you wanna change it here's the hoops youre going to have to jump through
grab your shellres.96.dll file from ur /windows folder and drop it on ur PC
I am going from pure memory here but you'll need to find an app to remove M$'s digital signature on the file B$. You'll want to head to the link below to grab the tools.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432041
Once you have that, use a resource editor like reshack to crack open your .dll file, once in there just navigate the tree until you find the icon to replace. For the start button in particular you will want to ensure your image is 24x24 and in .ico format.
you can find reshack over here
http://www.angusj.com/resourcehacker/
Once you replace that image you'll want to re-sign the file. After that's done put the file back on ur fone; you may need to use total commander to drop the newly edited file back in your /windows folder.
Reboot and one of two things will happen, you'll have whatever siiiiiick icon you put wherevers, or your phone will catch fire... j/k hehe

Thanks for the guidance. The "your phone will catch fire" part has me worried. Any way, it looks like a lot of hoops to jump through. I'll pass on this one. The smiley it is for now!
One more update, the dialer is a hit-and-miss thing. When you tap numbers, it is supposed to match contacts that has those letters, like "Ann" if you type "2-6-6". Sometimes it pulls up the contacts, and some other times no! Trying to replace the dialer. Took "TPC's Customized Black Mega Phone Canvas" dialer from forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547959 - and after a few reboots.. it works! Had to remove my SD card to get it to boot the first time after installing the CAB.

hehe NP on passing the info, I didn't pay for it so why should you? That Mega Phone Canvas dialer looks sick and I did kinda make my own skin for it, only reason why I didn't use that in my release was due to the lack of "landscape love". If anyone knows of a phone canvas that's landscape friendly let me know. Was just joking on the catching fire part, my bad on that. Although modifying system files can seem not for the squeamish although it's not as hard as you think... grab on and slam into it head first!
update: Dug deeper in that post and found something that is landscape friendly... I knew there was something like that out there SUHWEET! Good lookin out on the link unfunda, as for the contacts matter, my bad... I have a few more voodoo rituals to perform on this next ROM i'm working on... stay tuned ppl
Ok so we've all heard the news about CHT2.0 and all its great new features.....
Far and away the best new thing for me is the beast that is Micheldiamond's CHTS....
(If you dont know what Im talking about then check here)
What Im so excited about is that if you kill sense through too much tweaking ( ive lost count of how many times) you can get back to where you were before the crash in a matter of minutes........ its literaly a manila safety net...
It also gives theme makers the ability to dump a whole CHT theme / layout in such a way that it can be implemented in a much easier way than installing numerous cabs and individual tweaks.......
The point of this thread is to see how dumping a layout and applying it to someone elses device works....
This is mainly aimed @ miller710 who kindly agreed to help me test this but I figured Id post it in the forum for anyone who wasnt aware of this great new feature........
Ok on to buisness........
If you'd like to test out how this works then please follow the steps below and let me know how it works for you.....
This is not a release of a theme, its more of an "experiment en mass" with this new feature........
I've attached the layout I posted in the today screen thread here
If your not yet familiar with CHTS I'd recommend that you spend some time playing around and getting used to it first........
First of all, make sure you have CHT Scheduler installed and your baseline saved.........
Save any layout your currently using and check that it all works as it should by saving it.......loading your baseline then reapplying your saved layout....
If it all comes back in all the right places then we are good to go......
Unzip the folder Ive attached and then put the whole folder thats inside into storage card/_CHTScheduler.....
You should see your saved layouts and baseline already in there......
Once its in go for a soft reset.....
then when you go back into CHTS switch gui and try to change layout you should have "black n blue rss" as an option....
Try changing to that layout and let me know what happens......
You should end up with something like the screenshots...............
It wont change your icons, if your using dinik icons you will still have dinik icons..... if your using stock they should still be stock.....
You will not get the "blue tape" digital clock (because my lua skills arent up to scratch yet )
However you should have the wallpaper, widgets and quicklinks and blue soft keys in all the right places
There shouldnt be any serious consequences to this..... if something does go wrong you can restore you baseline/old layout........ however as always you do this at your own risk.....
Worked. However there are some broken links I think this if for programs that you have that I do not. I will post some before after screens in a few minutes.
Hey Troutman! First out there with a trial layout for CHTS (how long before you and Mob release the orange street theme as a zip for this... )
It seems to work fine (once I'd realised that you had to go in one folder once unzipped to find the one names CHTS_blah blah blah and copy THAT one to the CHTScheduler folder in Storage Card!). I'm assuming it won't look exactly like your screenshots - my layout has retained my clock/weather choice on the central screen and the RSS widget is above the clock, not below like in your screenshot. Also I have lots of missing quicklinks
I agree that CHTS is just as amazing as CHT itself - there has been a massive amount of work by MD - it has already replaced Phoneweaver on my phone for automatic connection and sound profiling. I'm just waiting for your orange theme, buff and GTX to be released in this format and I'll be away!
Just been switching back to my baseline as I've been typing and I still have all your quicklinks and none of my free links - hey ho, guess there's still some work to do...
See you back at the Dev group! Love the weather wallpapers you've done for the lockscreen - where can I get the full set?

DOH! should have though of that......
I should have saved a version with empty quicklinks,,, except for apps that come as stock..... opera etc......
Once I figure out how to do an xml for the layout i should be able to cancel out any links that point to apps other people might not have........
So it really is as easy as that........
Good to know....... thanks man!
I also had the problem when I switched back to my baseline. I lost my free links. The wierd thing is that when I loaded your theme, I got the custome cht toggles you used on ur theme. And when I switched back I got the old standard icons. So this seems to be a transferable item as well.
Then after looking it over I noticed that the custom cht softkeys also change with the theme loadout. apparently that is also something that can be transfered.

Hey Dunc, wasnt really intending it as a release, more an experiment and some shameless promotion for CHTS (not that it needs it )...
I think if your swipe up you'll get the rss in the same position as the screenshot..... i didnt post every page on every level....
and the digi clock will be missing because I cant get my standalone widgets to work....... unless you want to kill sense then they're great..... lol
The quicklinks thing was a stupid error on my part, obviously any proper theme releases will come as default with empty link.... I was just rushing to post before the missus gets home........
Not long for Orangestreet..... just need to hammer out the xml... I think thats the missing link.....
Not sure why your baseline would be affected......
Mine has always been rock solid...... If I thought that peoples "safety net" would be jeopardised then I would have held off on posting this because obviously I dont wanna cause people to have to go through a whole set up process again so sorry about that
Appreciate the feedback man thanks again

Was it just the freelinks you were missing or did you still have the regular quicklinks too??
@Dunc001
Forgot to answer your question about the weather walls......
I cant take any credit for those, they're all mob's work...... they were in the dropbox in the chts folder...
If they're no longer there then let me or mob know and we'll post them somewhere for you.......
The glass circle softkeys are before. the Blue softkeys are after. Mind you this is after doing it for a second time so both sets of pics have your free links and quick links. When I reverted back to baseline it kept your icon layout just changed everything else back.

No worries man. I have been playing around with it alot any ways. What I can't figure out is why CHT occationaly just moves links around. I also have problems with the icons changing randomly for no reason at all. Any idea?

GRRR just realised I missed my 1000 post milestone..... lol
wanted to use it for something ridiculous in off topic........... oh well guess i'll just have to wait for 2000
Amazing!
For the quicklinks thing: I have a solution - will be in next fixed version, should be better then:
- It deletes the "old" quicklinks instead of overwriting, so there is no "mixing"
- you can disable quicklink switching with Layout switching in the settings.
Then let's have a look, if this is enough or if we need something more.
Great work, conan - I luv this style of your themes! But that you already know (Congrats to your 1000+, too *g* )
Micha
thanks md, probably best to leave out the quicklinks in the meantime...
I guess people are going too want to set their own links anyway...
is this the best way to share a theme between two devices, by placing the layout folder into the chts folder of another device? or is there a better way....
ha ha thanks for the congrats... it will soon be 2000 at this rate...

oh, overseen your answer, but with new CHTS 2.02 all the quicklink things, which are mentioned above, are soluted.
So Quicklinks are switching now also if they have different designs.
only the randomly moving quicklinks needs also a fix in CHT itself, but meanwhile it's counteracted as good as possible with CHTS, too.
And yes,simply placing and copying the Layout-subfolder is the intended easy sharing or saving of a Layout. CHTS automatically recognizes the new CHT-Layout (indifferent if by .zip or .cab installed) and can be assigned to any profile by the user. mmh...I think that you already know but perhaps some others not.
Thanx for your inputs!

Thanks Michel,
I think all the issues with the quicklinks are sorted now
Any layout I post will have only have empty quicklinks by default, obviously each user is going to want different programs in different places.
I'll still be setting the location of the link and if they want to re-arrange then thats up to them..........
Hi All,
Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Im new here and I recently divorced iPhone! I have an HTC HD2 and its probably the BEST ive ever had! Ive seen a lot of posts for themes, etc, however, I prefer the "boring" default homescreen I have (snapshot attached). Ive installed cht and I think it was GREAT, but I didnt like the way my phone "blinked" everytime i woke it up. In any case, i prefer the default screen and my question is, Is it possible to have a bit of transparency on my phone WITHOUT installing 3rd party apps like cht and so on? (Just a simple cab file that adds the TRANSPARENT look to my homescreen and other screens). This will be great! I love playing with custom backgrounds that I make with photoshop, so some transparency will be perfect!
Thanks in advance guys, and keep up the GREAT work!
Regards,
Yaz

Since you use Sense are tons of Manila files that devs have modified that have made certain items transparent. You'll have to hunt for those. What you should really do is load a custom ROM, preferably one with CHT baked in, and go from there. I guarantee your phone won't "blink".
Wow,, THIS SITE IS THE BEST!!!
When I had the iPhone and registered on one of the forums, I used to submit posts, and not get a response for AT LEAST 2 DAYS!! To get a response within a couple of hours is SUPERB!!
Anyway (sorry about that! - got a bit excited) About your recommendation for loading a custom ROM, I guess you saw my specs so you are confident that I wont have any issues. However, I dont know WHAT TO DO, HOW TO DO IT, WHAT I NEED, etc. Therefore, I would be grateful if you would kindly "link" me to the right direction, and I will take it from there. If I do face any issues, would it be OK to pm you?
Please let me know!
Cheers again!
If you want a rom that has both CHT and has transparency have a look at energys rom, link here:
Just scroll down and find the version you want! There are a few, you need to have hslpl installed and then just flash his rom!
If you don't want to flash a new rom and just make a few changes to the stock rom here are a few links to a ton of mods/tweaks for ya(transparency included)..
