[mod][CHTWidget]Background Set[FIX UPDATED]

Yes i know backgrounds are not fancy and everybody likes transparency , but it may be useful to some of you to have a configurable background as shown in this picture:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
INSTALLATION:
1.- Search in windows directory & copy in your SD the file 7c60907d_manila. It is very important to have a back-up of this file if something goes wrong.
2.- Download Poy6BG_Home.mode9.rar and copy one file 7c60907d_manila to windows folder of your device, accept overwrite and restart sense. Which 7c60907d_manila file? inside the zip is 3 file 7c60907d_manila (home.mode9) This file had to be modified to get Poy6BG behind any other widget (I will explain later), I have upload 3 modified versions (original, no line in flip clock, no line in flip clock + colon) you choose your favorite. All inlcudes fix for 20 widgets working at the same time. If you have other different home.mode9 (fix for more than 20 widgets, etc) i will explain later the small changes i did, so you can try yourself or post it here and i will try to do it.
3.- Get free slot0 for Poy6BG. Look in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.WidgetAddons.Slot0 and uninstall the widget actually installed there (you can install it later in other slot). It is important that Poy6BG be installed in Slot0, so it will be behind any other widget.
4.- Install Poy6BG.cab, activate it in edit mode>add new element>Poy6BG. This widget comes in 3 widths: full screen, half screen and personal width (to be set in the registry HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.Poy6BG.Width); configurable opacity from 100% to 25% each; is resizable in height (up&down); and pinneable.
5.- It comes only in black color, if you wish to use another colors you have to edit the file 1E0E70D5_manila
Kitchen:
Download the full widget kitchen from here: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/10718996/Poyensa Public Cab/Poy6BG/Poy6BG.rar
You can edit, modify and change anything in the widget. Just be sure to follow Co0kie instructions.
KNOWN ISSUES:
I have tried a lot but I couldn't get Poy6BG behind the co0kie-music player, the co0kie-textclock (date-clock-alarm), the notification icons and the page indicator. The rest of the widgets i have tried are over the background (quick & free links, clocks, weather, email, sms, etc). Feedback is much appreciated.
I also have some problems of overlaping if there is an empty slot in the middle (to have widgets in slots 7 & 9 but not in slot8)
Thanks to Dunc001 for his greats ideas and tests. And of course to co0kie monster for the Co0kie Home Tab 2.0.0
Enjoy this small present for the Three Kings I wish a happy 2011 full of widgets and plenty of nice themes
UPDATE uploaded CHTwPoy6BG_v2.cab full config, needs JMLMenuSense for menu settings.
FIX uploaded CHTwPoy6BG_v3.cab use any texture in PNG format, located in SD or device, as basckground.

home.mode9 modification
I was trying to understand why some widgets are shown over others. I starting point was this thread of rat_2665 in which he makes a great explanation about the relation between the order of elements in mode9 files and the way the objects are displayed in the screen.
So I try to follow this rule and modify the file home.mode9, which set all the elements to be shown in the home screen. The idea is simple: put at the begining of the file the lines related to slot0 and force Poy6BG to be installed in slot0
The modification in home.mode9 consist in find every component where is defined Slot0 and bring it up to to begining of the file.Then force the widget to be installed in slot 0. Aditionally I have also done this modification in the special Slot DevMode. I tested and it (partially) works for me, so I share this experience.
EDIT: the screenshot shoud say ... tip: keep pressed "shift" (arrow up) and cursor up or down, you can move the objects in the tree ....
Not many changes were done. The changes are inside <LibraryManager> lines 5AAF567A9 = value='CHTwidgetDev.mode9' & 5AAF567A9 = value='CHTwidgetSlot0.mode9'
And also inside <Library> bringing up all the <Character>type = 'ComponentClipCharacter' where Slot0 & DevSlot is contained
Thats the reason of many differents 7c60907d_manila (home.mode9 file) I have made this modifications in some files i have but may be many others files 7c60907d_manila that has to be modified in this way to get Poy6BG working correctly on them.
Anyway the investigation is not finished beacuse some widgets as co0kie music player, co0kie textclock (date-clock-alarm), notification icons, page indicator and CHTS icons are always behind Poy6BG, so there is something to discover yet Please post your feedback, if possible include a list of installed widgets and asigned slot in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\CHT.AddonWidgets.SlotXX

Hi Poyensa,
Just to say once again thank you very much for sharing all your great work.
A wonderful 2011 to you and yours!

Wow, if this works, you are a ****in genius
I am going to try this tomorrow and give you some feedback ^^

Poy, you are indeed a genius Had a moment on first use where the clock appeared behind the background, but once I changed home levels and back it was all as it should be.
Great work again

blank widget XD LOVE it
but the background always in front of all widget @[email protected]"

Well done, you are amazing.
Asked one little problem

Be sure to follow this steps:
1.- Safe copy of actual 7c60907d_manila
2.- Copy new 7c60907d_manila in windows folder, accept overwrite and restart sense
3.- Get free slot0 by uninstalling the existing widget there
4.- Install Poy6BG (be sure it has been installed in slot0)
5.- Be sure to have no jumps (slots free) in the middle of the registry HKCU\Software\Manila\CHT.AddonWidgets.SlotXX (every slot should have a widget)
With this rules is working in my HD2 manila 2.5.2016. I have test with a lot of widgets (but not all!) In case you still having problems post a list of widgets including in which slots are they installed.

I only want to know what is this widget?
Thank you

Not much, just a free background to put where you like in the home screen, behind other widgets. Needs CHT2.0 to work.

poyensa Thanks for your kind reply
You really is a genius
I will continue to focus on all of your thread

Thanks Poyensa for sharing your genius with us all yet again! All of your widgets imo are simply amazing! I noticed you posted "It comes only in black color", so here's my small contribution.. I edited the 1E0E70D5_manila file to add different colors for others to use with different themes. I made them in blue, gray, green, red, and white. If there are any other colors anyone would like I'd be happy to edit it for you. Thanks again for sharing this with us poyensa!
In order for these to work you must have Poyensa CHTW_Poy6BG installed first. To get the desired color simply copy the 1E0E70D5_manila, from the zip, to your windows folder overwriting the original. Also contained in each zip is a png(preview) of the color

I have been testing this widget now, for a couple of days, and it really looks amazing^^
But I do have one issue, that I cant seem to get rid of. Everytime I restart my device, or sense, the widget shrinks to its original size before I transformed it in height. It is installed exactly as you told me, I checked all of it. Reinstallation didnt do anything.

thanks for the feedback Nordpol, i have also noticed that, and the change on height in all levels when it is changed in one. I will look on that deeper.

[TRICK] Hidden App Launchers (Ninja Apps)

I might be late to the party but here we go anyway:
HTC Evo: Invisible App Launchers (Ninja Apps)
The Video Tutorial:
The Text / Image Tutorial:
What you will need:
- An HTC Evo (probably works on other phones, but I don't care about other phones)
- A Custom Launcher Program (Launcher Pro & ADW EX are what I have found this to work on)
- A Transparent Icon (You can download this one)
- A Wallpaper With App Images built into it (You can use this one)
The process:
Here we have our main screen...you guys are lucky I just switched to the cm7 RC1 and did a full wipe otherwise you might have had to wait for the apk release.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basics first, we need to switch to a wallpaper that has App images designed into it...the one I have is really nice but there are others out there. Look.
After that we will switch to the first screen we will be adding our hidden launchers too. On this screen you will long press to bring up the "Add To Home Screen" selector. Select the "Custom Shortcut" and then choose "Pick Your Activity." From the next screen you choose what kind of Activity you want, an Application, Music Playlist, etc...After making your selection. Choose ok and your launching icon will be added.
Repeat the above step until your icons cover the launching area of your desire. You can go into ADW or Launcher Pro settings and edit the number of columns and rows on the screen. This will help somewhat with making icons cover the icon area from the wallpaper. For mine I left it at 6 rows and 4 columns.
After all your icons in place it is now time to make them transparent...Long press over the icon and in ADW you will select "Edit." press the icon in the edit screen and choose the transparent icon you downloaded earlier in the tutorial. Repeat this process until all of your icons are transparent.
YOU'RE DONE...
Some tidbits and problems you may run into:
- They are kind of invisible but I still see the icon text... You need to go into the settings for your Launcher Program and select "Hide icon Labels."
- I can't get the icons to fit right over the images... This is not an exact process and will requires some trial and error, as well as, tinkering on your part. Some things you can adjust to help this: Adjust your wallpaper to different sizes and display areas, Adjust the amount of columns and rows displayed on your screens.
- Where can I find more wallpapers like this? My best advise is to look on the internet, it's how I cam across it. I do make custom wallpapers, but, they are not free ($1.99) donations.
If you have any more questions please post them and I will address them as timely as I can.

this is awesome thanx

Umm, there's nothing new about this. Lots of people have posted themes that use this method. I've been doing this since last summer. This might be useful as a tutorial on the basic setup of this method. Also, of course it will work on any phone. What is the apk file going to do? Maybe I'm missing something...

great
Wow! I hadn't heard of this before, but i love the idea and the tutorial. THANKS!!! I'm gonna have to scour for more wallpapers. Is there anyway to take the wallpaper you have in a layered version and remove a few of the images and swap in a few of my own?? ex. i would take out the facebook logo and put a cartoon pic of my wife/kids for my quick dial apks. etc... anyway, thanks for the heads up!!
adam
EDIT: btw, what widget are you using on the wallpaper that show the 4 day weather icons? (or what widget and theme or icon pack)...thanks in advance

I have been looking for other wallpapers with app images built in and no luck. Any suggestions?

Wouldn't the definition of a donation be giving to a public and/or charitable cause? You aren't offering the wallpapers for free to the community, then allowing people to donate to your cause. If that isn't the case, it sounds like you are charging for a service, not encouraging a donation? Unless you plan on offering the wallpapers to all once the initial request for a custom donation inspired wallpaper is received?

I've been looking also for something like this for quite some time also, as I've been using the blank icons with wallpapers to some extent already, just not all over. Just along the edge like this:
The full setup is attached in the Scrolling 2.0 Theme in my sig which also has links on how to set it up from the original author. I also created some wallpapers other than the honeycomb one. PM me if if you would like to check them out.
Its hard to locate wallpapers with the icons pictures built in as I'm not sure what to search for exactly or what the "official" name of this type of wallpaper/setup is.

I could be wrong about what he's using, but you can achieve the 4 day weather forecast like that with the Beautiful Widget's Beautiful Weather Widget. You just need to download that skin, and then disable todays current weather.
I achieved the same widget look using the Beautiful Weather Widget in the screenshot above. Just changing the skin (the skin you would be looking for to achieve that effect is called BrushedInk&Black), hiding the background, and hiding the current weather. Beautiful Widgets is a paid app, but its worth it for the couple bucks it costs, it looks great and is highly customizable.

[CHT Theme] h-eX Theme including new hexClock widget

I had this wallpaper kicking around for a while and really liked it but it needed some cool stuff to go with it, so I played around for quite a while and this is the end result! The theme cab updates:
Toggle switches (Airplane, Phone, Wifi, BT, Silent, Data, Vibrate, Restart Sense/Device - psd template in source zip)
CHT Softkeys (only the five shown - psd template in source zip)
Softkey background
Email and SMS widget skins
Music widget skin (from BLUE SK-i)
Page Indicators
hexClock Widget (in Post #2)
The Hex WP folder contains the 1440x800 main wallpaper, the 480x800 lockscreen wallpaper, and the 480x800 taskbar skin wallpaper.
In the source zip you'll find folders for each element of the theme including any photoshop psd templates you'll need to extend the softkeys and toggles, etc. You will also find a folder containing the icons for the Page Switch Link icons (down the left hand side of the screenshots) along with the template again for you to make your own.
USER ADD-ONS
Notification icons and bubble HERE and HERE - Thanks to mcluvn
Please ask any questions or post requests and I'll help if I can.
Enjoy

hexClock Widget
OK, so to match the theme I wanted an equally cool clock so I created the hexClock. The inspiration came originally from the BobClock widget that a lot of the android themers are favouring at the moment, but I had also liked playing with rotation in the Vertical Weather widget I made so figured it would look good with the date rotated! And just to add a little extra I have written the widget so that a press on the Hour digits will access the World Clock page (or Clock app if specified in CHTE) and a pres on the Date element will access the Calendar screen (or Calendar app).
In addition to this so that you can use the clock with any theme I have made it fully user editable through the registry so you can specify seperate colors for Hours, Minutes, Weekday/Month and Date. Also, you can specify the opacity of the background - anything between 1 and 100%. DO NOT set this to 0 or you won't be able to move or resize the widget in Edit Mode. All reg keys are in HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila, and any changes made take effect instantly without the need for a restart.
If you want to skin the background the qtc filename is 09f43b82_manila, and if you want to substitute your own font then just select a standard ttf font and rename it dunchexclockfont.ttf, then copy/paste/overwrite to \Windows on your phone.
Enjoy

You need to make sure that in CHT Editor you have the Quicklink/Freelink snap to set to 1 pixel otherwise you'll never get them lined up. It is a pain in the arse to get them in exactly the right place - it takes ages - but the effect is great when you get it right

Follow the link in the first post to the Page Switch links in the BLUE SK-i thread. Install them, then use the Page Switch icons in the hex source zip.
I take it you figured out how to resize the quicklinks now - Edit Mode, longpress quicklink, smaller/bigger.

thanks for sharing bud, looks really nice !!

How did you get the am/pm transparent or how did you remove it? I cant even get em to change colors when I edit the reg.

I saw someone's font and decided to make a theme with it...This will be available in Pink, Blue, and Green...
​
A few people have been asking me to write a how-to on my setup, so I figured I’d type one up…
For those who care, I’m currently using Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 and the Godmode (v9) kernel… It’s a fantastic setup, both extremely fast and efficient with battery life.
Ok, so the things you will need are:
1. LauncherPro (I’m assuming you can do this with all launchers, but this is the one I’ve always used.) http://www.appbrain.com/app/launcherpro/com.fede.launcher
2. Desktop Visualizer http://www.appbrain.com/app/desktop-visualizer/jp.co.bii.android.app.dskvzr
3. WidgetLocker (for the lock screen) http://www.appbrain.com/app/widgetlocker-lockscreen/com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker
4. Simi Clock http://www.appbrain.com/app/simi-clock-widget/com.th.android.widget.gTabsimiClock
5. Switchpro http://www.appbrain.com/app/switchpro-widget/alei.switchpro
6. Some form of photo editing software (I personally use photoshop but I know a lot of people don’t have it… I have used gimp before in a pinch and it works just as well… www.gimp.org)
7. Two cookies (preferably chips ahoy or girl scout thin mints, but, whatever you like.)
I will continue to add any themes that I create (right now I’m pretty happy with this one so it might be a while.) I’m also more than happy to make/edit an image for someone if they need it so let me know. Feel free to post up your own creations too.
Launchers:
To create your own launcher, open up your photo software and create a new image that is 480x85. You can use whatever you like, words, images, etc. Keep in mind that you need to space accordingly. Launcherpro has five slots for the dock, you don’t have to use all five obviously, but you cannot use more. Alternatively, you can use one of mine above.
After you’re finished, save it, and transfer it to your phone along with the “blank-tile.png” above. From there, press Menu – Preferences - Appearance Settings - Dock Background – Custom - and then pick your dock. When you’re done with that, press back, and then scroll down until you see “restart LauncherPro”. Press that, confirm yes, and TA-DA… Your new dock is on your screen!
For the final step, Long press on any of the icons, hit change shortcut and select it to what you would like it to be, if you do not want anything to be there, hit blank. Once you’ve done that, long press again, hit change icon, hit custom icon and select the “blank-tile.png”… do this for all five spots and you’re good to go.
Eat cookie number 1.
Theme:
*if you’re just trying to straight copy exactly what I have and you need help setting it up on your phone skip down until you see three asterisks (* <-- these things ).
This part can get tricky, there are literally a million things you can do… If you want to just copy what I have that’s fine, but if you want to see some possibilities check out the following link, it’s a huge thread, but there are some really cool things in there, It even has the sizes for different configurations of images... http://www.androidforums.com/android-themes/199936-android-phone-7-theme.html
Anyway, getting back to mine… If you want to create something similar to mine, the application image sizes are 480x145, the application “banner” is 96x500, and the main image on the homescreen is 418x408.Keep in mind that these image sizes are for a LauncherPro setup with a configuration of 5 columns and 5 rows.
*** Alrighty… You have all your images and you want them on your phone. To start, clear everything off of all screens, get rid of everything so that all you’re left with is the dock. Hit menu – wallpaper – no wallpaper (if you’re copying me, if not choose whatever the hell you like. ) Next, hit menu – preferences – Homescreen settings… and change the following… number of screens 3, Default screen 2, Number of columns 5, Number of rows 5. MAKE SURE THAT AUTO-FIT ITEMS IS NOT CHECKED.
Let’s start adding some stuff… Longpress anywhere on the homescreen, and then press: widgets – Desktop Visualizer – desktop visualizer 1x1. *edit* use 3x3 and then stretch not 1x1... using 1x1 causes images to blur for some reason... You should now have this:
Long press on it and you get this…
Press and hold on the gray triangle in the corner and stretch it so you get this…
Once you have it to the right size press back, and it should no longer be orange. Tap the image and you get this:
Press “select icon” and select you main image “eye.png” or whatever you have created. Press “select action”, press none. Leave the label blank. Touch Effect “none”… YAY!!!! You’ve uploaded your first widget.

It’s really as simple as that… Just continue to do the same for the rest of the images (but select the correct application instead of none, obviously.) For the application images you can select desktop widget size 4x1 instead of having to stretch all of them.
One last thing, add all of the application images before adding the application banner. Otherwise the banner will cut off some of the application images.
K peeps, I’m out… If you need any more help just post up your problems.
more...

Okay how do you get the dock like yours? I see the image but how do you place it there? Also, how do you get the lockscreen like yours? Also what are the power control widget and weather widget? Can you elaborate a little more on how to get these things?

For the dock... follow the instructions for launcher, if you're still not clear let me know what you're having issues with and I'll try to help...
For the lockscreen, if you want the exact same lock i have, download this attachment and place it on your phone here... data\com.teslacoilsw.widgetlocker\themes
Then open widgetlocker, remove the stock locks by pressing/holding and dragging to the little trash can. Then long press anywhere - custom slider - theme.

What specifically are you having trouble with so I can help? The weather widget is a part of simiClock. Switch pro will do the power control. I also edited the OP with links.

Do I have edit the dock image in a software if I am using yours?

nope... if you want it to be identical just copy paste brother.

There is no action to launch the app drawer when I try to add the applications banner.

nvm this post

Looking awesome bro!!
would this work with the previous nightlies? don't feel like flashing to the new RC1!
thanks bro

Okay now for switchpro and the applications banner:
How do I theme switchpro?

I use the Applications banner and the eye merely as decoration... If you want to add action to them then do it the same way you did everything else... If you already assigned no action to them, remove them, re-add them, but this time choose the action you want.
For switch pro, long press anywhere, no background, icon color white, 25% transparent when disabled, indicator color white... then choose your buttons.

Well I mean is there a way to add the applications banner to actually open up the drawer? There is no menu for it in DV. If you can't, how do you open up your drawer?

no I don't believe so. I assigned "play" in my dock to open my drawer.

Hrm okay. And I'm using the alt images, like the ones in your sig. What is on your third page?

Really nice looking setup. And thanks for the write up. I've never used desktop visualizer before.

Also, could you make me an image that fits yours with the text "Communication" ? I use Tweetdeck with FB and Twitter.

Testing it right now !! it looks great, but I don't seem to be able to get all the tiles at the same size. The gap between each tiles is not similar if a tile has to be resized.
Great graphic job tough !

Strange, as far as I know I can add the widgets at any size and resize. Have you tried starting the widget in the prescribed size, and have you set margins of the homescreen to zero/none?

Trying it out now. Kinda like the PIE UI I have now, this sucker takes a while to put together just right lol.
Sizing seems fine here for me. In Nova, you HAVE to set the grid to the correct size so that the widgets will fit correctly.
I did see for example the Clock skin, where in the UCCW is labeled, 4x2 where it should be 2x4 for the correct size and can be adjusted accordingly. Most everything else is 2x2 so that's a given.
Green tiles here I come! LOL

It's a great mod! I didn't use all three tile you preloaded so instead i added some switch widget. See picture. It's switch pro widget paid app on the play.

Here's mine. Did a little editing with some of the tiles. IE Dont have FB and whatsapp... For some reason the 4.2 camera app doesn't show up on the uccw app list. I just took off the hotspot and put in an invisible icon with the camera app there on the top part of the tile. Workaround win .
Great tiles! Good job and Looks great IMO.

Btw, for the overeager modders amoungst you: the icons are from the Alex T as well. You can download it here. Also, you can shuffle the layout really easy by simply swapping the widgets. And good job on the camera workaround!
PS: it's awesome to see the different countries

Instagram added! :laugh:

Also just another note in regards to using Nova Launcher or any launcher really....
To get the tiles to fit, other than what is already noted in the second post; is to remove the dock or hide it. To access the apps I use gesture function of two fingers swipe down. Then to turn off the screen I simply swipe up. :good:

hi, newbie here and im using the stock-blue tiles.. pretty sure im following the instructions listed here, but whenever i try to add some of the tiles (Ex. 2x4tilebatt.uzip), it only shows a white box upon loading (checked the settings and the only ones loaded are the back ground and hotspot).. any remedies for this? I have unzipped the Tiles UCCW Blue folder in my sdcard, fyi.
Thanks in advance to whomever can help!

You did everything right. There went something wrong with the non square tiles, when changing the filenames. The proper files have been restored (this means that the names are inverted again) Until I've got some more time (busy week) I'll fix the names properly. Nevertheless, functionality is no issue!
