[Q] Cookies Home Tab Editor v2.0.0.0 - General Questions and Answers

Ok, Ive looked to see if I could find an answer to this, but no avail......
Im running v2.0.0.0 CHT Editor on WM6.5 on a HTC Blackstone, and I am wondering, as I cant fin the answer here or in the fone settings etc....
How do you remove quicklinks from the page after they have been added?? What has happened is that with my fat thumbs, I have added multiple instances of the same program, and instances of programs that I don't want on my quicklinks table, and all I wanna do is remove them and replace them wih the programs etc that I actually want on the table....PLEASE help, this is getting incredibly infuriating....Thanks guys.

I don't know which version of CHTEditor I'm using, but if I click "Action," then "Edit Quicklinks," I just tap the ones I want to delete, then hit "Finish," or whatever, and it's done.
I don't have my phone in front of me, so I'm not actually entirely sure of the names, but you should get the general idea.
Hope this helps.

On the bottom bar: Menu - Edit Quick Links - Then tap lightly the quicklinks you want to remove (if you hold, then you move them) and a "X" icon will appear on their side - On bottom bar: Done and voilà, the icons you (and ME too) don't want disappear.

Help with Today screen customization

Attached is a current picture of my today screen. Im trying to do a number of things and havent been able to come across much concrete info when searching the forums.
Anyways here is what Im trying to do:
1. Remove ALL icons from the bottom of the screen (battery and active sync in this case)
2. Remove the black horizontal line just above the icons on the bottom
3. Remove the bar with Calendar and Contacts but only from the today screen
4. THe top icon for the battery, Ive seen it where people have percentages rather than a few bars, how can I change that?
Thanks guys.. trying to clear some room for my calendar stuff and the HTC plugin takes up over half the screen by itself. Thanks
Sad day for human intelligence
1. The second icon is not activesync icon. It is for the comm manager
To remove it, you'll need a registry editor. Then, go to HKLM>>services>>wirelessMgr>>keep=0
Regarding battery icon, I need to know whether the exe responsible for the battery icon is being used as a service or as a normal app.
Most probably, you can remove by going to File explorer>>windows>>startup>> here, you'll find a init(something).lnk file(i cannot remember the exact file name). Delete that file and soft reset
Second scenario(where it is used as a service): using registry editor>>HKLM>>services>>power>>ShowIcon=0
2. This line will be automatically removed once the icons from the bottom-bar are removed
3. For this, the max you can do is to match the line's bgcolor with the today bgcolor. Use an app like UItweaker to do that. Do a search on the forum and you'll find it
4. That can achived by either using batterypack pro/wisbar advance(differs from theme to theme)
Sorry that I brought down all of human intelligence..................
Anyways regarding number 3, I was hoping to remove the words Calendar and Contact as well as the bg behind it. Im trying to get as much real estate here as I can.
Thank you for all the info tho, about to try it all.
Use dcinobar - it will remove the lower bar, so calendar and contacts button will go. Use the cab i put together - sorry cant give you the link because i am on my device - put 'dcinobar' into search and its the 5th thread down. Yep the clock on the htc home plugin is way too big! Another htc design bungle! lol
Awesome. Before putting this on one quick one. Will this remove those buttons and lower bar JUST on the today screen? FOr apps and stuff Id like it to still be there. Not sure if I can have my cake and eat it too but would love to try =P
Thanks guys!
Just the today screen - there is also vjtoggle that does the same thing but i found that it kept causing the screen to mis-allign
FYI, if you don't know how to mess with the reg, I suggest using this..

Multi todayscreen program

hi im looking fo a today plugin that can devide tooday screen into several tabs
check the cLaunch screens. Imagin this kind of tabs with diferent set of today plugins running inside. That way you can have a big clock and date in one tab, calendar+ in the other, shortcuts in the next one, todeynotes, tasks+, todaynotes, weather and many others full screen aps.
That would be weru usefull anyone seen this kind of thing?
i have Spb Mobile Shell now but its not exactly what im looking for.
You need to read more
Check out the last few page of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259932
there is this seemingly free software that does what you mentioned. Not sure how easy to conf, but it seems to support most today plugin.
yeeee - quick reply thanks friend now i now where to read i hope this is it
I tried that software PocketAGE... It works, but not quite: the today plugins inside a tab are placed on top of each other. I think I'm doing something wrong, but I just don't realize what...
Any thoughts?
Jörg
tap and hold at any emty spase and press "move/resize items" - you can move todayplugins around and resize them and also the icons! thats something !
i like this app but where to get this unlock key? that kick-ass.ru page is not about ppc's... any idea?
and the SPB mobile shell is out i will miss that finger freandly task manager... but "mortbuttons" has it also and its more costomisable
I didn't know it needed an unlock key, I just got it today from that referenced thread. Is it a time limited trial or so (I don't speak Russian,)?
The moving/resizing bit doesn't work: the today plugin is marked with a grey box, but I cannot do anything with it.
Jörg
Jörg
do you have a russian version of this app? mine is in English.
-----------
tap-hold that grey box -> tap properties -> uncheck the box: autoresize...
close
now you can see a duble frame on the right of the grey box - you can resize that plugin horizontaly by draging it.
-----------
in the "about" scren there is a place for a key - i dont know what does it meen:/
-----------
I would not say that app is wery stable anyway... sometimes its impasible to drag a plugin, sometimes the tab's outline disapears, sometimes a part of the screen disapears (softreset helps), and there is no button suport fot any plugins inside AGE - you can swich tabs by presing left and right but up/down dose not take you from one plugin to the next one (no button suport for plugins which normaly has it).
but its free
edit: after some time an dialog box pops up with a question - isnt it the time for you to donate?

Sprint TP2 - Change right sofktey in TF3D / Sense UI?

Is there a way yet to change the right softkey in tf3d / sense ui to the programs screen? HD Tweak can change the right softkey, to anything in its right softkey list except to Programs (Default). That's what I want to change it to though. When I choose Programs (Default) and do a soft reset, it changes to camera instead.
I've tried HD Tweak and softkeymanager and neither will do what I'm trying to do here.
it's just a registry change. i changed mine to contacts. i did mine a while ago so i forget the details. i'll try to find the link.
Yeah, I've read around and some say it's just a registry change. Usually you need a name for the softkey and a path to an exe or shortcut right?
What's the path for or the location of an exe for that programs screen (the one with the rows and columns of icons with "+" signs on them) in TF3D / Sense UI?
found some info on it at here.

I have a brand new Sprint TP2.
I believe you figured it out. Arguments is not needed though. -manila off doesn't do anything.
So RSKPath points to left... that's really annoying. I remember reading this somewhere, but it was so ridiculous that I never tried it. LSKPath doesn't do anything though. =( Definitely a bug somewhere

That'll work if the thing you want for the softkey has an actual shortcut or exe file. I want the right softkey to be the programs screen in TF3D / Sense UI (the screen with the columns and rows of boxes with "+" signs on them).

Start Menu Customisation

Hey all is there some software that will allow me to re-arrange my start menu items in a straight line
Atm the icons go diagonally in sets of 3`s
Im wondering if its possible to re-arrange the set of 3`s to be in a straight line without the diagonal look
Flame me for saying this...but along the same way the Iphone has them in a straight line
Did you just mention iPhone on the Topaz Forum?!?!?
**flicking lighter**
jk... This may work or you could try quick menu which gives you an expandable windows-like start menu in the top right corner.
or if your unable to find a list start menu cab you could find a start menu 4x4 grid cab and reverse engineer it.
Sorry Bruce My Bad.....Ive recovered from the burns now.
anyway that wasnt what i really had in mine so ive put together some shake and save screenies to give and idea.
The first one shows the way the layout of start menu icons are on my TD2 with it being in a diagonal / upsidedown triangle look
The second one shows how i would like the middle icons to be...in a straight line and together if possible
does any1 know if it can be done.Im assuming there has to be a way as GAz TD2 tools allows them all to be in a 4 row pattern but when i us that feature it makes scrolling really laggy
I split open a 4x4 start menu cab and it shows the following manila files that you would have to edit (LUA and Mode9 editing), however they may be different files for different builds.
07c67730_manila
3b8655d7_manila
5558cdef_manila
652ae0f4_manila
6c219600_manila
7c60907d_manila
In any case, it doesn't appear to be an easy fix. Sorry.
Some alternatives,
Take a look at the "Post your topaz screen" thread. I saw a user using an i*Cough* launcher app that was launched from a HW key that may interest you. You can also achieve something similar by using SecondToday combined with Ultimate Launcher. Then you can scoll your apps with the old Cube animation launching from your LSK.
Hope this helps.

CHT/CHTeditor change requests (slider, BG image)

hi, first of all, EXCELLENT WORK on both CHT and CHTeditor. Nevertheless a few change requests
1. does anyone know how to move the retractable slider icon to a corner (similar to Opera). it simply looks silly sitting in the middle of the screen
2. setting a background image using the photo album, does not resize the photo. it seems to take the first 480x800 pixels . Is there a patch/solution?
3. where can I change BG image for the windows lockscreen, ie the image shown as BG in the start menu) (I know it can be done through Manila Settings, but why not from within CHT/editor.
4. winmobile does not seem to be able to handle subfolders when selecting a background. e.g., \wallpapers\portrait, \wallpapers\landscape and \wallpapers\widelandscape exist. If I point CHT to \wallpapers I'd love to see these subfolders.
5. I'd love to have 6 rows of quicklinks (there's more than enough room). CHTeditor does not allow it, probably direct regedit will allow it, but has anyone tried this?
6. similar to selecting quicklinks in 4 or 5 row, can the start menu look be changed from CHTeditor to look the same (not NOT hexagonal, but square).
7. even though CHTeditor is configured NOT to lock the screen when pressing close button (option 2), CHT screen lock activates every time. why?
TIA for your time.
no disrespect, but i think you will get a better answer, if you post this on Cookie's thread. I doubt he or any other dev involved in that project will check this thread.

tnx, considered that, but cross-posting is not allowed (posting both in CHT and CHTeditor thread. these questions pertain to both...
