start CHTScheduler again, that they will be initialized.
winmo has sometimes a strange behaviour - it marks files to delete after softreset.
so please try again the steps I described in post 1 for installation, then it should work.

Reinstalled chts_links-cab addon again, run after reboot CHTS, quicklinks all there again, OK.

But, I see "white squares" instead of some of my quicklinks or freelinks!

Followed these instructions:;)

This is because of the "jumping quicklinks"-issue - and I estimate, you have flashed the ROM and applied a LAyout of the former ROM. There it can be, that some Linsk are not the same. Contact Links are anyway not saveable (they use an unique ID), but for the Links: Simply delete them and apply them again and overwrite the Layout.

any suggestions:
*-Would love an option to overwrite/save current Layout whitout having to rename it with a pop-up message that tells me when I use the same layout-name "Overwrite current Layout YES or NO:)
*-Is it possible to put all those great seperat backlight toggles into a widgetbar like taskbar or notificationbar, whit option: bar or only icons?:cool:

Thanks for support!

Cool, the first Forelayer I had was ... not good.:p

Now another one is fine. :D

By the way, I was about to ask question about all the options "Ignore ..."

What does it supposed to ignore ?


p.s. Do you plan to release an update of the manual ?

Suggestion

1. Trigger for automatic change of profiles:
--AC power
--On Hands-free
--On Headphone
--After Shaking!
and ...

For example:
When detect a paired Hands-free, the profile automatically change to "work"
When shake the phone, the profile automatically change to "silent":rolleyes:


2. Block unknown number with busy!:eek:

That happens since sometimes re-installing means "deleting" ;) Did you get the corresponding pop-up message?

Hola again -
1. White squares: Either somthing didn´t stick right, or maybe also issues with SD Card... I had them also whilst testing, so I just "uninstalled" CHTS (and the chts links), renamed the _CHTScheduler Folder on SD Card to lets say "A_CHTScheduler" and afterwards reinstalled CHTS 2.15 as well as the CHTS Links... But with Sense deactivared. Once all is installed, please check if "new" _CHTSceduler Folder has been created on SD Card, if yes and no more white squares visible, then open CHTS and save new Baseline. Later we´ll take it from here. If white square still appear, then it´s... Quote Mike2nl

"White square problems on phones. (by Mike2nl)

What we nee to now to help you:

1. what we need is the ROM version (stock, 3rd party an own one and the number of version). Because of CFC or NOT CFC for graphics in manila.

2. what we need is the manila version. Because there are some guys outside who are using more tab's then normal

3. the most important thing is the CHT versions (main, chts, chte, widgets and the version number)

4. where do you have installed the widget (main or sd card)

5. do you have deleted a folder named CHTAddons on drive C?

6. Some widgets creating a folder on drive C under Program Files for her graphics as sample. Have you tranfered or do you have deleted this folder?

7. describe so far as possbile your installation (error or popups). I dont mean the soft reset popup. I hope everyone from you have done a soft reset after every widget installation. Don't install 2 or more at the same time. That can give problems. I have tested this too.

8. which widgets do you have installed. And please tell us in which order you have installed which widget.
Because there are some widgets outside who are not 100% ok. So they can deliver problems directly after the installation or when you install another one.
I know because i test all widgets, really all because the CHTA stuff."

And here for I recommend to first try to "reinstall" CHT rather than using the uninstall routines - so install CHT over again, twice (one for deleting and the other for reinstall) and see if the "white squares" are gone... Again, we´ll take it from here before answering the reamining two questions/suggestions, OK? :)

Halo Chef, I did like and use that ForeLayer :p, but you´re right, if some one is not used to using ForeLayers, it´s a bit anoying ;)
1) "Ignore....", just what it states, to ignore the settings feferred to
2) Manual Update - good question and indeed it might be needed and usefull, but at the moment MD and the team is quite busy with "things" related to actual release and further improvements, so please be patient :)

Not sure yet of the cause of the white squares.
I have only now seen them after a hard reset and fresh install of CHTS 2.15
However, removing the assigned white ones and re-adding them, corrects the issue for me.

As for an option to overwrite or save current layout, that is planned.(as a quicklink)
Just be patient for it, as CHTS gets updated fairly regularly compared to much software.

Hola thanks for your suggestions, and this time I´m answering only as a user and not a dev team member ;)
1... Why would you want separate profiles for that? I would not, since for shaking I have other apps that execute whith that command, and if I want to switch a profile, I would not want this to happen just because I might have my device shaking due to other reasons.... even if locked ;)
On Handsfree, what would you set differently for that profile that you can´t switch already manually? Also the one on Headphone?
As for the examples, how should CHTS know that paired device is only for work? Because of time? If you have Bluetooth ON for work, and already paired device, why switch to another profile..., etc. - If I want silence profile, I just touch the corresponding switch profile to silence quicklink ;)

For AC, be patient, cause there are many options around this one, and there are some allready built in CHTS 2.15 ;):D

On 2, and also switch profile to SpareTime if number is from a Friend, and switch to other Profile if call is from family, and maybe even "detect" the content of the conversation, so if it´s a friend calling at night or on a weekend and asking me about work, then also switch to work profile?

CHTS can do already a lot of things, and in the future will be able to do some more, but no program will ever be able to suit all desires of all users, but your input is highly appreciated and some things might come in the near or far future :D

All nice ideas, mate - and all on the roadmap for the next months :) - except one: shake device to change profile.
I also thought about this possibility - but this would need an always running app for detection. And my philosphy for CHTS is not to have an always running app.
But there is already a great app, which can do this to change CHTS-profiles: G-Trigger.
xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=494267&highlight=g-trigger
Just assign the commands of the Quicklinks of CHTS, e.g. to change to a certain profile like OnTheRoad, a certain mode or any other of the new Quicklinks/Toggles to the Shake actions. And you have what you want :)
Also you can stop/start the g-trigger service e.g. in GoodNite/WakeMeUp by executing the g-trigger stop/start command in "execute apps" for a CHTS-Profile.So the service doesn't poll the G-Sensor over night, if that is not needed.
(please also put "chtmaster.exe" to the exception list of g-trigger, that you don't get a double accidently profile change)
The Rest of your wishes will come gradually with the Event handling in the next versions.

Regards
Micha

no, CHTS doesn't change time or timezone.
Perhaps you have the wintertime-problem as much other users had and only because of your vacation, you mentioned it now?

Hola Chef, "ignore wallpapers" states that CHTS will actually ignore the set/saved wallpapers for Profiles & switches. It will use the wallpaper set before switching with/in CHTS...
You should try to "play" with this a little bit so you can get a better picture of what actually hapens ;)

Hola, I love CHTS too :D;) and regarding G-trigger not working for HD2, you might look into how "Whip to Snap" triggers app, so you could use that as a workaround for shakking and executing profile change with HD2 ;)

Hide Profile Help

- profiles can be now made invisible, so you see only the one, you need

I am really interested in the above option, but can't figure out how to impliment it. Any tips?

Thanks for the great update. This app just keeps getting better and better :)

Hola Paul, just go CHTS Settings where you can set and chose the profile names, and "uncheck" the ones you don´t want to see or use ;)
Glad you like the app. Michel is doing miracles with this one :D

Hi Dear,

I try CHTS 2.10 and 2.15...

Everytime i take "error 32" when run CHTS. Everytime i take "error 0" when "apply and save".
I study setting and registry. I saw that, in reg file consist of "GOODNITE" and "goodnıte" directory. Some setting key in "GOODNITE" and some key in "goodnıte". I did not understand.
For example, i changed schedule in program but did not apply. If i changed in reg, is okey. But not save setting file (or not apply in setting file).
I have HTC Diamond 2, sense 2.53.2012 and language Turkish.

Thank you....

Hi Dear :)

In Registry there is no difference between uppercase and lowercase.
But: which widgets have you installed? please search here 1-2 pages before for Error 32, how to check the .xml's of the widgets.

    [APP/CHT-Suite][26-June-11] CHTS 2.30 - saves & extends your Sense ( & Loco [1.10] )

    headerchtsnewtall2230.png



    NEW VERSION 2.30 of 26-June-2011 (+ CHTSLoco 1.10) - final versions
    (changelogs see below & CHTSLoco-Thread)

    Please consider: CHTS & Loco are in ONE .cab!

    CHTS extends your CHT & Sense with much features. You can choose, which of this features you want to use and which not. Therefore some users called it as "Swiss Knife" for CHT.

    Minimum Requirements:
    CHT v2 -> CHT 2 - Thread

    Before we start wie the details: Big Thanx to all people who helped for this Release - especially to our CHTS-Beta-Team!!!. Please look into "About"-Box for the Thank-You's and what they've done. We spent much night to make CHTS & CHTSLoco, that you get them in this advanced state, as they are.

    Please consider: CHTS is provided as it is. It is tested by CHTS-Beta-Team, but that were not much people and it can't cover all kind of devices, ROMs, Sense-Version,additional Apps - so please help to improve CHTS because of your Feedbacks.

    You get much more new Quicklinks for CHT, you can use a scheduled Wallpaper-Switcher, you can save your Sense-/CHT-Layout, you can profile your Device manually, by time of day or by your current location.
    Just look below in this Post for the sections, which will tell you more about the main features. There are so many sub-features, that this can't be explained in a thread. Please consult for the start at best the -> QUICK Manual for CHTS <-

    Also big Thanx to ebhoelzner for his great Sense SDK

    Integrated Languages (sometimes not all translated) : English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Chinese, Slovak, Russian (thx to yaMoPkoBka for that!)
    The other languages are to find in Post #3

    Changelog 2.30 (and Loco 1.10) :

    - Run Modes for a "light CHTS" You can define a Run Mode, which allows you, that you can use CHTS only for the things you personally need and the unused features will be invisible.
    Light: Only Day&Night or manually mode, Wallpaper scheduling and simple Data switches
    Average: Light + named Sub-profiles + Location event handling + Backlight-Settings
    Advanced: Average + All Profiles + Layout switching with profile + ring modes + Execute/Kill Apps
    Full: All Features (like former)
    User defined: Define the single features for your personally needs

    - Icon-Saving You can save/restore different icon-themes for your Layout or simply change them on-the-fly. So if you like Glass Icons in your Sparetime and solid icons at work... no problem. Thanx to osidacz for investigations

    - CHT(E)-Saving You can save/restore only the settings, which are mostly the settings of CHTEditor, bit also the most important settings of CHT. Easy & Fast.

    - Theme-Saving! Thanx to osiedacz & BHS Interceptor for this outstanding work to create the necessary new xml-files for that! Now there are more than 1000 files are saved, but quite fast restored. Use Theme saving, if you want to change between themes. Otherwise "Standard" is enough for your CHT Hometab.

    - Profile copying You can copy each profile over another profile. So you can define one or more "Master Profiles" with much changes and can copy it to another profile for a quick&easy-configuration (you find it in General settings)

    - Much more options for Audio-Switches:
    -- mp3-files allowed now
    -- restrict file list to maximum amount of items (20,50,100, unlimitted) for memory-weaker devices
    -- restrict file lists to one or some of: .wav, .wma, .mp3
    -- extended check if file really exists, also after deleting some things

    - Automatic Audio mode You can not only use Silent, Normal, Vibrate - now also "Automatic", which silents device while entry in calendar. If this doesn't work, you can try MortScripts to toggle settings

    - LocoReminder improved! You can add Reminders according to the Location.
    It is quick accessible also by Quicklink.
    ... I think it's easy to understand... you will see

    - EMail-Synchronisation by Profile Change improved.

    - Improved Options for Wallpapers: . More Sizes and so on

    - New Quicklinks: Save Layout, Restore Layout, Loco Reminder. For the full list of all Quicklinks look to Post #3: -->to List of all Quicklinks & Toggles<--

    - Improved CHTS Layout-Logging - all files, which are not copied are logged together with the reason, why. Settings in Misc of Main Settings underneath usual CHTS-Logging. Also added Button to delete this Loggs older than 1 day. Logg-Files for Profile Switch are to find in <storage card>\_CHTScheduler\Logging\CHTS_RestoreSense

    Fixed all known Bugs (e.g. in Location events) - thanx for the feedbacks and thanx to the great Beta-Group-Members!

    - much more fixes and internal improvements. Too much to list all the single things.
    Click to expand...

    Nevertheless you will find some more helpful informations, e.g. FAQs or hints for Widget-Creators or ROM-Cookers - here's the overview:

    Inventory:
    Post #2: Configuration Hints & FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
    Post #3: Additional things: Quicklinks-List+Languages+Manuals
    Post #4: Graphical AddOn's - CHTS-Icon-Sets
    Post #5: Weather Wallpapers 9-/44pics
    Post #6: For WIDGET-/Theme-Creators & ROM-Cooks (with Whitepaper)
    Post #7: some Screenshots
    Post #8: former Changelogs

    So let's start with the main parts of CHTS:

    Layout-Saving
    layoutnewtall5230.png


    You can save your current Layout or your whole Sense.
    Baseline: This is the smallest thing - it simply saves the Sense-files of your ROM like a "Layout standard", but without Quicklinks
    Layout standard: All items of your HomeTab, so also Widgets, Clocks, Quicklinks, Freelinks, Positions of all of them, configuration,...
    Layout extended: All of Layout standard but also much more things of the other tabs, if the Skinner also has added an appropriate configuration-definition (as .xml-file). By Default e.g. the Weather-Animation-Icons are saved in extended
    Sense-Saving: All of above, but also all Manila-Files! Therefore, that this is very big, it will be zipped on the fly by CHTS. So Saving doesn't needs much time. Restoring needs a bit more time, because CHTS has to compare each file, if this is already in ROM and has to intelligent restore the correct files. This is often called "Lifesaver" by the CHTS-Users.
    Thanx to BHS Interceptor, who made fantastic xml-files, so that each Hometab, Widget, Links are saved in "standard" and also much improvements in Theme-Saving.

    And sure: If you can save a Layout... you can switch it with each Profile... :) Just look to the next main point

    Important Notes & Hints:
    - After Flashing a new ROM, please make at least a new Baseline. CHTS will name this Baseline according to the name of your ROM
    - Recommended also: Saving the whole Sense sometimes. So if something is messed up, then you can get mostly your Sense back = "Lifesaver". This can be the last chance of you before you have to do a Hard-Reset
    - Before you add a new Skin or new Widget: Save you Layout (extended) - if something is wrong with the new Skin or Widget... you can easily fall back to the state before.
    - With CHTSwitchGui you have access to all saved Baselines, Layouts, Themes and Full-Saved-Sense
    - In "Beta-Mode" you can also save Themes, but this will be explained later.

    Switch Sense-/CHT-Layout
    layoutswitchtall4230.png


    Compare with Layout saving: Each Layout cann be assigned to a profile and switched automatically with it. So you get the appropriate Layout according time or your current location. If you prefer manually - simply switch the Layout together with the Profile by Quicklink.

    Important Notes & Hints:
    - Please be careful especially if you switch Layouts by Location - not that Loco changes Location very often, because you haven't recorded all cells.
    - Check, if Layout switching is working also while locked on your device. If not, set "Switch while locked" to off or activate at least "Switch while locked, but no Layout" in CHTS-Settings
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    CHT-Quicklinks
    quicklinksnewtall4230.png


    much CHT-Quicklinks, which gives you the opportunity to directly set or control your Sense-/CHT-/CHTS-Settings.
    So if you e.g. don't want, that your Device connects via GPRS, then simply activate the NoData-Switch. Or if you need Wifi-On-Standby, then you have a toggle for it. 3G-Only? No problem - use the Quicklink.
    Also you can control the current states of your device by a short look to the state of the appropriate Quicklink.

    Important Notes & Hints:
    - the Links are a seperate .cab, which is also attached to this post. Please look into Installation-Hints in this Post.
    - Some Toggles/Quicklinks needs an additional App, which is also linked inside the Installation-Hints.

    Wallpaper-Scheduling
    wallnewtall5230.png


    The Wallpaper-Changer was heavily extended against the previous version (see Changelog below). The Wallpaper-Scheduler is simple to configure and you can also make different settings for each Profile.
    So as example: If you are at home or somewhere, then you can adjust Wallpaper-Scheduler to a low timeout, e.g. 10 minutes, if you are at work you can switch it to e.g. each 4 hours and at night you can switch it off. Therefore that all Porfiles can be manually or by time or by your current Location triggered - you can easy define, which Wallpaper-Scheduling you want.
    But nevertheless: If you don't use any Profile-Switching, the Wallpaper-Changer reacts intelligent and battery-friendly. There is an interface together with CHT, which detects user-activity... and if you are inactive and your device is anyway not in use, the Wallpaper-Changer will wait, until you use it again.
    You can define different directories for each part of Wallpapers, also you can choose, if the files shall be choosed randomly or alphabetically or by windows-sort (this is device-dependent: sometimes alphabetically, sometimes by date).
    You can define filters, e.g. if you choose "grandma*.jpg" for AllTabs, then you should always see different Walls of your Grandma e.g. in your SMS-Tab :) (or the Grandmaster :) )
    And also a nice feature: Wallpapers according to your Weather. Appropriate 9-/44-weather-wallpaper-packs are to find easily at xda-devs and some are also to find in the follwing Posts here in Thread.

    Important Notes & Hints:
    - Please make asure, that you defined in CHTS also the Default Wallpaper Directories, that your Quicklinks will work in each Profile, where you haven't defined a special directory for this profile
    - Look for the size and dimension of the wallpaper-files. So if you use a directory for e.g. wide-walls, then they should be at best 960x800. Also the filesize should be according to the hints, which can be read in CHT-Thread for the Wallpapers

    CHT-/Sense-/System-Settings &-Tweaks
    settingsnewtall4230p.png


    You can set many things for your different purposes. There you also don't need profiling in any way.
    Just define Settings for one Profile (recommended "SaveMyDay" and let it run 24/7 in manually mode)
    Just a list of the main (not all! there are more!) Key Feautures of a single Profile:


    - Sense scheduling for each profile
    -- update times for Weather, Stocks, QuickGPS,...
    -- update times for new state Quicklinks of CHT
    -- Proximity and more
    - Data Scheduling
    -- switch on/off/let-it-like-it-is for BT (visible & hidden), Wifi, GPRS, 2G/3G, Radio, Network, Flightmode, Phone
    -- Special "Network" switch: Turn off your phone like in Flightmode, but no need for a PIN!!!
    -- No Data! So you can diable GPRS for all apps inside a profile
    -- Roaming detection and define actions for it, e.g. asking, switching Network on/off, No Data
    -- Idle Timeout configurable on your needs in a profile
    -- special useful features, e.g. like switching off GPRS, if you activate Wifi manually
    - Backlight&Power Scheduling
    -- Set Backlight for each profile different. This saves much Energy!
    -- Set timeouts, when display shall go off
    -- Set timeouts, when device shall be suspended
    -- more...
    - Assigning Layouts to different profiles!
    -- switch them to whatever profile which suits to your current wishes. At work you need Tasks and other quicklinks in front? no problem. In spare time your music player and a totally different outfit? it needs 10 seconds to change it
    -- Combine it with all the other key features
    - System Scheduling
    -- Define Sound profile - normal, vibrate, muted (as expected)
    -- independent setable System and Phone volume
    -- adjusting InCall-Volume suitable to your needs in a profile
    -- adjust Sound-file for Ringtone, Reminder, SMS, Email, Voicemail.
    -- adjust popups for reminder & notification popup (no popup, vibrate, sound,...)
    -- special settings, e.g. phone volume down if pickup, louder ring in pocket...
    - Executing up to 3 apps
    -- new Scripts by RoryB: MortScripts to toggle settings
    -- easy to configure
    -- computing .exe out of a .lnk to faster settings
    -- executed after Sense Restart, if you changed the Layout in this profile.
    -- also you are able to kill each executeable by defining it here.
    - Configure 3rd-party-apps
    -- Email-Scheduling for each Account, you have configured
    -- service WMLongLife activation/deactivation
    -- service MachCell / GPSMod activation/deactivation
    -- Windows Live Synchronisation
    -- ...more to come
    Important Notes & Hints:
    - Please have a look, that the settings doesn't interfere with any other 3rd-party-Apps.

    Profile Switching
    profiletall2230.png


    To close the circle: All things above can be assigned to different Profiles. Profiles can be switched manually (by Quicklink), timed (different for each day) or by Location (together with CHTSLoco).
    So if you need vibrating Ring at Work, WiFi at home, Bluetooth somewhere,... and so on - simply configure it. In CHTS-Settings (and CHTSLoco-Settings) you can configure it according to your purposes. The most things are self-explaining - for further things, just consult the Quick-Manual or the whole Manual (which will be updated for the new features somewhen, too.. but nevertheless: Also in the older version of Main Manual the basic functionalities are explained good)

    Important Notes & Hints:
    - Please look into CHTS-Main-Settings for "Powering Device while Profile Switch", if this works for your device. At best, test Profile change while device suspended. If all is switched correctly, it's o.k.. Most recommended is "smooth" and "regular" powering
    - If you have a quite "slow" device, then it could be good to set "Profile Change Delay Rate" to a higher (==slower) value, if some Settings are not applied.
    - If you want to change your Profile also while locked, please prefer "Change Profile while locked, but no Layout", if you also want to switch a Layout with this Profile. Much devices are not able to change their Sense-Layout, while they are locked.

    Configuration
    hintconfignewtall1post2.png


    The Configuration Hints for MachCell, WMLongLife, Windows Live and the most important CHTS are to find in Post #2 due to a better overview.
    Link to fast switch to Post #2: *click here for Post #2*

    How timed configuration for Profile switching of CHTS works is well explained in Main Manual!

    How you can access single features of CHTS is explained in Quick Manual!

    Generally
    hintgenerallynewtall123.png


    Some explainations of the basic functions to understand (please also read FAQs) in following posts) :

    Manually Scheduling:
    You can switch your Profile - if you want - by CHTSwitchGui or by Quicklink.
    If you need for a special space of time another Profile - you will find in CHTSSwitchGui the options for "timeouted" mode, where you can e.g. switch for 2 hours to "SpareTime" and then CHTS shall automatically revert back to manually mode and "SaveMyDay"

    Timed scheduling:
    1. Manually mode: You have all in your hand. You can see in CHT which profile is active. switch it by Quicklinks or CHTSwitchGui
    2. Timeouted mode: You are in a meeting - then you can define a timeout by setting the timeout time or by Date&time and define, to
    which mode or profile should CHTS turn afterwards
    3. Automatically mode: An easy, intuitive way, you can define your personal rhythm of your day - no need to be think about overlapping times - for each day seperately and fingerfriendly configurable. Please read chapter 4 in manual to learn more.

    Location Switching:
    This is a new menu-point in CHTS. You can assign a Profile to a CHTSLoco-Location. If Location changes, the Profile changes according to your settings:
    -- In assigned Loc no Time Switch: If you are in a Location, which you have assigned to a profile, then CHTS would ignore the timed switch. So you can move where you want also if it wouldn't suit to the timed profile - as long as the Location is known, you will always get the suitable profile

    -- ...except in/out of GoodNite: This belongs to " In assigned Loc no Time Switch" - and simply means: If CHTS should activate GoodNite or get out of GoodNite by Time, this switch is made also if all other time switches are ignored because of the assigned Location.
    Sounds difficult, ey? But it isn't. It's only not easy to explain for me. The GoodNite-Thing simply makes asure, that you define your Sleep Time and this is mostly in a known location... :) But mostly the wrong profile to sleep.... and perhaps you don't want location changes while sleeping (e.g. if cells are togglings).
    So define your typical minimum sleep time and disable loco changes in GoodNite... and your Smartphone is sleeping with you :)

    -- Time profile in unassigned Loc: If Location is not assigned to a profile (but known), CHTS will switch to the timed profile. If this is off, CHTS does no change in unassigned locations

    -- Time profile in unknown Loc: If Location is unknown (mostly marked with a "?") - CHTS will use the timed profile.



    The rest is explained in CHTSLoco-Thread. Please keep in mind: What you configure in Loco is used by CHTS to switch profile, if you assigned it. So at best: Don't assign too much profiles at the beginning and observe, if Loco is switching fine your Location and all Cells for one Location are good recorded.
    Then look, if the above mentioned Settings are ok. Then begin to assign more Profiles to the Locations.
    Therefore that Loco is the only App, which I know, which is able for personal-indoor-location-identification: Please check the possibilities, and what you really need for Profile switching and which Locations are more for Fun.
    So e.g. you can identify your Kitchen, Bathroom, Living Room seperately by Loco - but I would assign the same Profile to all of them - otherwise you will get Profile switches very often if you run around your habitation with your device :)

    *click on pic to resize*


    So - all together I hope, you think it's useful with its features. Just keep in mind: Each feature can be "single-applied" - so if you need only a Wall-Changer or some Quicklinks or a special configuration for Sense+CHT - then only use this..


    Have Fun

    #2 FAQs & Configuration


    Configuration
    hintconfignewtall1230.png


    There are some additional Apps and also some Hints for configuration - collected here. Please also look into FAQs for more.

    MachCell / GPSMod (thanx to Mach2003 for this great well-developed App and his help!) :
    Download+Thread here: *GPSMod/MachCell*
    If you already use MachCell / GPSMod, please only make assure, that also Cell-Location is switched on
    If you are new to GPSMod:
    - CHTSLoco is compatible to 3.20 and 3.40-Release
    - configure your GPS like explained in GPSMod-Thread. You don't need GPS itself - but it should be correct configured.
    - Go to Left-Soft-Key-MENU -> Extras:
    -- Enable "Service is Running Now"
    -- Enable "Enable Cell Service"
    -- All other options are not necessary to be switched on for CHTSLoco 1.00
    -- Click Button "ReStart Service"
    - Open CHTSLoco, go to general Settings and switch Cell-Localization-way to "CDMA with MachCell-Service" or "GSM with MachCell-Service"
    To be compatible with the offical Release, Loco only uses the Tower-Number, not country-code. So you see in Loco only "xxx-xxxx-<number>". You can also use newer Beta-Versions of MachCell/GPS-Mod. Loco is developed as seperate App, so it can be updated independent from CHTS. Nevertheless only Loco communicates with CHTS, so an update of MachCell doesn't concern the Localization Assignments of CHTS.

    WMLongLife (thanx to chainfire for permission) :
    Download+Thread here: *WMLongLife*
    If you already use WMLongLife (WMLL), you mustn't change anything
    If you only want to use WMLongLife for the 2G/3G-Toggle/-Quicklinks, then you can deactivate all functions of WMLongLife.
    Also in each Profile in "Third-Party-Apps" you can disable WMLL-Service.
    If you want, that WMLL-Service is stopped after Soft-Reset, then make assure, that current Profile stops WMLL-Service and in Main Settings of CHTS you have switched on "Reapply Profile after Soft-Reset"

    Windows Live:
    In each Profile you can configure, of Windows Live Synchronisation is setted "manually" or "as items arrive". If this shall work, make assure that start and end time of synchronisation is the same!

    CHTS-Settings: Powering Device & Timeouted Message Box
    You can configure very much things, what CHTS should do, if a Profile Switch comes.
    The "timeouted MessageBox" is simply a Box, which is shown for xx seconds, so that you can deny this switch, if you don't need it at the moment. If you don't answer, then the switch is automatically answered with "Yes", if the xx seconds are over.
    Some devices needs a special powering, to switch the Profiles, others can do it also, if backlight is off. Check it out and use the best Power Mode. Here some recommendations:
    - if you want to switch Profile while locked, look if suspend settings of your device are not very short, at best 30 seconds or more
    - if you change also Layouts with a profile, it's not recommended to "change while locked", better don't allow it generally or at least "change while locked, but no Layout". CHTS will notify you by vibration, that Profile switch is oncoming, but it is running after you unlock your device
    - try if "smooth powering" is working for Profile switches, then you have almost no battery usage. But also the other Powerings are not very hard for your battery (except you switch Profile each minute :) ). For the most devices works "smooth powering" and "regular powering". Not much, but already some device needs "Full Powering" that a Profile Switch is possible. Therefore that this depends on much factors like Device, ROM, other installed Apps, it's not possible to provide only one power-method for all devices. Default after Installation is "smooth powering".

    CHTS-Settings: Common things:
    - Please look into CHTS-thread, if there is a updated version of your Language available. If something can't be partly translated, you see for this phrases the english original words.
    - Please look, if your Storage Card is correct identified. IF not, please change it and don't forget to enclose it with "\"
    - For the new option of Connection settings you can use each command-line-App, which has an paramter to switch off and a parameter to switch on the connection for GPRS or WiFi or Bluetooth. With the "Test"-Button you can look, if this works for your device. CHTS will then always use this call instead of the default call - also for profile switching
    - The "ignore"-part of Settings is recommended, that all is switch "on" ! Only if you know, what it means, switch some things to off. "On" means, that these parts are not restored while Profile switch - and mostly it's better, not to restore them and to use the current state of the device for it.
    - If you have the problem of "jumping quicklinks" from CHT - save your Layout extended and restore it manually or by PRofile. Enable the permission for CHTS, that it is allowed also to restore the Quicklinks
    - Some Widgets, which are downloadable at xda-devs, are buggy and overwrites other widgets. So it is recommend to save Layout before installing a new Widget. CHTS has a special feature, that it not only saves/restores blind - it recognizes the Widget and restore your Sense intelligent, if you have installed a buggy widget.

    How timed configuration for Profile switching of CHTS works is well explained in Main Manual!

    FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions:
    hintfaqsnewtall1230.png


    INSTALLATION:
    Does I really have to install only to Main Storage?
    Not really - but highly recommend, so I say better "Yes". Also it's only tested with installation on Main Memory. CHTS consists of system applications and this is always recommended to be on Main Storage. And don't be afraid: All settings, saved Layouts and so on - this is saved to your Storage card automatically by CHTS.

    Must I stick to the installation instructions?
    Also not really - mostly it should work by simply installing the .cab's and running CHTS and CHTSLoco once before doing any changes.
    The installation instructions are only the safer way. Sometimes also the download at xda-devs doesn't work properly and by sticking to the instructions, you won't get further problems because of this and it's easier to reproduce.

    I have a problem after installation that almost nothing works, e.g. no switch of profile, even not computing switch times or so
    These sounds like a bad installation or a bad .cab. Please activate in such cases always CHTS-Logging, that I have a chance to reproduce.
    But this should help:
    - uninstall all .cabs
    - Soft-Reset
    - Download again all .cabs (CHTS, CHTSLoco, Links)
    - Install according Installation instruction according Post #1
    (especially: Don't forget to start & exit CHTS the first time with save & apply, before you do a change)


    GENERAL:

    I have an issue, which files do you need to reproduce it?
    We need from /<storage card>/_CHTScheduler the file CHTSSettings.xml
    Very important: ROM-Version, Device, Manila-Version and which system-near apps are installed! Otherwise mostly no help is possible.
    Since 2.20 you have the possibility to logg all things off Profile Switch & Wall Changing - please activate it in CHTS Main Settings -> Misc
    If you have a Location issue, please also activate Logging of CHTSLoco in Settings -> "Logging changes"
    All Logs are to find in \<storage card>\_CHTScheduler\Logging. Please .zip them and attach them and tell me time, where the issue occured.

    Sometimes a CHTStateLOG like described in 108f-posting can also be helpful.
    Please use only attachments as default "zip", not "7z" or any other compression format.

    What else is to be considered for feedback?
    Please read at best this Link - it's very useful: -->Feedback hints<--

    I only want to use CHTS for... (save Layout or Wall-Changer or NoData...)
    Then at best read the QuickManual. CHTS is like a "swiss knife" - you can also use only one or some feature(s).

    How shall I start, if I have no clue of a scheduler, but I like to have some different configurations.
    At best - also Start with QuickManual and then read the CHTS-Manual to learn more. You will see - it's not difficult.
    Link: ->Quick Manual<-

    I see some strange IDS_BLABLA things? Or some english words as while I use another language
    Do you have choosen your Language or checked if this language-file is from a former version?

    How to reset my settings?
    Delete or rename chtssettings.xml on storage card and reinstall the latest .cab of CHTS

    Sense "hangs" / "stuck" while restart
    Please try other power settings. It's ROM-/Device-/Manila-dependent, how are e.g the suspend timeouts and other things are. So recommended is in Settings -> Powering the value "smooth powering", if e.g. "very smooth" doesn't work.
    Also check your suspend settings and try to increase them a bit and look, if you have system apps running or in startup-folder, which could interfere.

    Will it also work when no SD Card available (only internal storage)?
    Yes, but not recommended. You will get an error message, that SD-Card can't be found. Say Retry and yes - until you are in main menu of CHTS. Then go to Settings->Misc and switch "Only SD Card allowed" to off and apply this.
    Then call again CHTS - then choose a new location for storage card to a valid directory, which has at least 5 letters! So far CHTS finds no SD-Card or you are in cradle as USB-Stick, it will temporary save to \NoSD\, which you can afterwards delete or rename to a valid name.

    I got a .net Message but not much details
    Please apply NETCFv35.Messages.ENU.wm.cab *from here* and read the postings around it.

    Old question for Loco 1.00: I get "can't save / load settings, error #xxx..." (and use Location-Feature of CHTS)
    If you have Locations assigned to profiles - perhaps you used CHTSLoco 0.85xmas-beta before - in Location names are NO Spaces and special signs allowed. So use only a-z,A-Z,0-9 and nothing else. e.g. "MyPlace" is allowed but NOT "My Place" or "My-Place". So also NO Spaces. This is derived from the internal database behaviour of Loco - but shouldn't be hard, as the name is more internal.
    You can use the Rename-Feature in CHTSLoco to rename this Location to an allowed name. Loco 1.00 is checking the name now, if it's allowed


    LAYOUT SAVING & RESTORING:

    I see "white squares" instead of some of my quicklinks or freelinks?
    This is because of the "jumping quicklinks"-issue - and I estimate, you have flashed the ROM and applied a LAyout of the former ROM. There it can be, that some Linsk are not the same. Contact Links are anyway not saveable (they use an unique ID), but for the Links: Simply delete them and apply them again and overwrite the Layout.

    My widgets are not fully restored
    Compare with "Known issues" in Post #1: An American Time Zone Format-Problem: CHTS suggests as Layoutname by Menu a name with date in format "Layout_yy/mm/dd" - but the "/" are interpreted as subdirectories - so the Layout isn't fully restoreable (mostly widget files). So please in direct save of Layout by menu: Rename default Layout Name to something without "/" or "\" inside. Will be fixed in next version

    If I save a Baseline, will I get a security check Message?
    No - you will only be remembered to do it. Later I will add a Box, but not necessarily. Only if you already saved a Baseline, then you will be asked, if you want to overwrite it.

    What's the different between a Baseline and a saved Layout?
    The Baseline is remebered by CHTS, that you should do it as fallback, if you later mess up your Sense. It hase a special name (ROM-Name, CHT-Version) and it is checked against a new ROM-Flash and a new installation of CHT. But it doesn't save your Quicklinks and Freelinks. Also a Baseline automatically backuped by CHTS after a new ROM or CHT-Version.
    A Layout saves all - so also Quick-and Freelinks with a name, which you can choose free.

    And what's the difference between saving a Layout as "standard" and as "extended"?
    There are 2 different definition possibilities, what CHTS shall save. One is for the HomeTab, so all Links, Outfit, applied Skins, WIDGETS,... are saved - that's "standard". "extended" is for saving a whole Sense-Theme, so if e.g. a Theme-Creator writes in his thread "CHTS-compatible" - then he defined a special file for CHTS, which also consists each Sense-Graphic (Manila-File, .png's, reg-settings,...) - so that the whole Sense in all Tabs are saved.

    Can I activate a Profile in automatically mode more than one time a day?
    Yes, but the system of timing the schedule is different and (We hope also for you) more near to reality scheduling, so just RTFM for know how to.

    Are the Layouts, which are shown in the screenshot, also in CHTS-.cab-File?
    No, then it would be a very big .cab :) These are examples, you can schedule EACH Layout. If you know what I mean, if you have made your personal Sense-Layout(s) : WYSIWYG :)

    I get a .net error, that a .xml is not readable, mostly see "FillFromManilaFiles" somewhere in this message
    Please copy all \windows\chtwidget*.xml to your storage card and then try to open them with Internet Explorer. If all are ok, then you can read all of them. If not, then one of these .xml's is corrupt.
    You can also look where it is corrupt - just copy it then to PC and use there Internet Explorer or XML-Reader-App - it will tell you the corrupt line.
    The .xml's origins from CHT or one of the widgets - so please feedback which .xml makes problems. And tell this to the Creator of the Widget and feedback also in CHTS-thread.
    Read Whitepaper in Post #6 to learn more, how CHTS internally works and how to make a Widget or Theme switchable.


    WALLPAPER SWITCHING:

    Can I schedule my wallpaper of my WinMo-Lockscreen?
    Yes, simply schedule the Today-Wallpaper.

    My today wallpaper doesn't change
    try 3 things:
    - delete st_water...-graphics completely with total commander in windows
    then try again
    - if that doesn't help: copy st_water out of windows to main root and copy it back
    then try again
    - apply a new .tsk (theme) in home settings of windows mobile and choose any wallpaper with .jpg
    then try again

    I have a problem with Wallpaper Scheduling
    Please activate CHTS-Logging, this also loggs Wall-Changes, to find in:
    CHTS Main Settings -> Misc
    All Logs are to find in \<storage card>\_CHTScheduler\Logging
    Please .zip this Logg-Directories and attach them to your issue-post.

    DATA SETTINGS:

    What's the difference between "initially" and "permanently" in data?
    Initially means, that only at the moment the profile gets active, the settings are applied. e.g. if you initially activate GPRS you can switch it off and on afterwards while this profile is active.
    Permanently means settings, which are valid while this profile is active. if you e.g. choose there "GPRS not allowed(No Data)" - then no App or even you can activate it, while this profile is active.

    Whats the difference between flightmode,phone and network?
    Flightmode: Switches off/on Phone and Data-Connection. It needs a PIN to get it switched on.
    Phone: Switches off the Phone. It also needs a PIN to get it switched on.
    Network: This is the most recommended feature of this 3. It does almost the same as Flightmode (also in Battery usage also low like Flightmode) and switches off Phone- and Network-Connection. You perhaps see in some taskbars instead of a cross another symbol, which say, that no network is found. But the best: IT NEEDS NO PIN TO REACTIVATE! (and it was not easy to implement)
    So I mostly recommend "Network" for Scheduling with CHTS - because of this very nice feature. "Phone" and "Flightmode" are only inside, because you are used to that :)
    only as hint: In airplane use "flightmode" - not because "network" wouldn't be good - I only don't know, if WinMo has something special for some device also to lower down something, which is triggered by Flightmode

    I have activated GPRS and Wifi initially, but after switch to profil it doesn't change, why? (also Sense-settings, GPRS-NoData,...)
    Have you seen that some items are "3-state-toggles" ? In manual you see what exactly they do and how they work. Simply make ensure that on left side the icon is enlighted, that CHTS knows, that this should be changed

    I have problems with 2G/3G-Toggle
    Have you installed WMLongLife?
    And if yes: IS it configured like the recommendations? Otherwise please scroll up here in Post #2 to "Configuration"

    SCHEDULING:

    I have defined "Work4Me" from 8am to 4pm and "EnjoyTheSilence" from 7am to 5pm" - why it doesn't switch to Work4Me?
    Because the Profile, which is nearer to bottom of the list, has a higher priority. So EnjoyTheSilence has a higher priorization and "overlays" Work4Me totally. Read Manual to learn more. It's intuitive, as soon as you know it.


    My Profile hasn't switched (Location also used)
    This can have much reasons - you have much options to take influence to Switching. Also there are option, where Timed Profiles should be ignored in know Locations and so on. Nevertheless: We need Logging of CHTS and CHTSLoco. You could also look inside this Logg - it's quite easy to read, why a Location wasn't changed due to a special settings. The Loggs are name by the time. So e.g. 110753.345.txt: this was 11:07,53 seconds.345milliseconds on this day created. Just sort it by date/time in your Explorer to find the newest Logg.
    If you have no clue: Attach the Loggs of CHTS & Loco together with your chtssettings.xml to the thread here.

    If I install other CHTS icons (cab) and then want to change back to the original ones, will simply uninstalling the cab do the job?
    No, it will uninstall properly, but leave you without the icons. We highly recommend also downloading for this purpose the "standard CHTS icon set.cab" to be able to restore the original icons without having to re-install CHTS...

    Is there already a possibility to switch to a profile by Quicklink or so?
    Yes, it is - but at the moment you must create this quicklink on your own:
    <program path>\CHTScheduler\CHTSwitchGui.exe -switchbyuser:sparetime
    would switch to SpareTime (please use lower-case).
    In one of next versions you can choose these quicklinks directly to apply by CHT Menu

    VERSIONING & MISC:

    I have a new CHT-Version, why is there no new CHTS?
    Because CHTS is configured by CHT to know the basic settings, e.g. for saving Layout. So CHTS is automatically compatible to the lates CHT.
    CHTS is only updated because of more features for you or fixing issues - so it's independent of CHT-Version.

    CHTS cause drain or it causes Sense to stuck while e.g. looking video
    CHTS has no permanently running app, therefore it almost can't cause drain. Also the Wallpaper-Changer is very energy-friendly, but it's better to use a profile, which doesn't schedule the Wallpaper within the next 2 hours, if you look a Video, that no stuck can occur. Better look if you had fixed CHT with at least the chtstate108f - Fix (it's also to find in Post #1 for download as .cab)

    Why doesn't CHTS gives me MessageBoxes which always asks me, if I use my device at the moment as USB-Stick?
    Because the Settings file as well as your Layouts are saved to storage card. And if you connect it as USB-Stick, WinMo denies your Device the access to it. If you'd use ActiveSync instead of this, it would work without any MessageBox-Reminder.

    I have a wish or just want to say thank you
    then just write this in the thread - I'm certainly pleased :)

    I could kiss you for this free software.
    Send me a photo of you before :)

    I found a BUUUUG
    Oh, how horrible. That almost can't be - CHTS has almost only 100.000 LOC at the moment, so I don't think that in this little app is a bug ;)
    (btw: I prefer the word "issue" as long we're not sure if the problem is not-RTFM or the problem is between the chair and the touchscreen, but now serious: Please describe it as exact as possible, perhaps with screenshots and version informations of your device)

    I have a short d.ck
    Let CHTS cause your handy scheduled vibrate in your trousers front bag (or tell me another BUUUUG)

    CHTS 2.25 & Loco 1.05 released now!

    I think there are much wishes inside from you. e.g. to combine Profiles with Locations or S2U2-Wall-switching or killing apps.

    Also something new surprises:
    The biggest one is the new Hometab-Saving - now the Hometab is saved in all Sense Versions together with the Widgets/Positions/Quicklinks/Freelinks/... - completely reworked by BHS Interceptor in the configuring xml's. Also basic themes are improved to be saved/restored.
    With LocoReminder you can set Remind texts, if you come to a special location. E.g. if you need something to do at work and you want to be reminded, if you arrive there
    EMail-Scheduling: Now you can let CHTS schedule your Emails according to the profile. And therefore that Profile can also be assigned to Locations... you can update your Email, when you need it. E.g. in Work the Work-Email-Account, at home the private Email-Account.
    New Quicklinks, a new Loco-Manual, and so on...

    Full changelog below

    Have Fun
    Micha

    Changelog 2.25 (and Loco 1.05) :
    - Hometab-saving massively improved! Also basic Theme-Saving! Thanx to BHS Interceptor for this outstanding work to create the necessary new xml-files for that! As user you won't see any differences in CHTS, but you will see it if you save/restore your Hometab, your Theme. Also compatible to the newest Sense-Versions.

    - Sense SDK 2.50 integrated. Thanx to ebhoelzner for this update. The UI of CHTS/SwitchGui/Loco works smoother and much fixes. There are some other little new issues with this new SDK, but there is always found a workaround, so you will "feel" the improvement

    - LocoReminder! You can add Reminders according to the Location. You will find it in left softkey menu of Loco: You can add any Message to any Location. If you reach this Location, you will be reminded by Loco. This is nice, only some examples:
    ... you go to supermarket later and want to be reminded to buy Bananas
    ... you must be reminded to do something in work, while you are anywhere else, so just write it there... next time at work, you will be reminded by Loco
    .... or in the other way, if you have something to do at Home or so.
    You will be reminded by Sense Message Box or by Notification Bubble (which you know from e.g. Appointments or missed SMS) - so as long as you don't close it, you can access this message by tapping on system tray. Also you can get a vibration for extra reminding.
    It is quick accessible also by a new Quicklink.
    ... I think it's easy to understand... you will see

    - EMail-Synchronisation by Profile Change. - to find in 3rdPartyApps. Now you can let CHTS synchronize your Mails, when you want! Not this ... windows settings each 2, 4 hours or one day and at night your phone starts email synchronization sometimes. No - now with switching by profile. And like you know: Profile switching is by time, so you can say exactly, when Email has to be synchronized. And by Location... so if you have a Mail Account for Work... then let it synchronize while coming to work and the other Account while you're at home or whatever you want Oh: Seperately for each Email-Account, which you have configured.
    All is made in background (developed fully in C, so also no interference like you e.g. know from other synchronizers, which switch to Email for synchronizing or so)

    - Timed Switch now combinable with Location! In each profile, where you can define the times, you can now add up to 3 valid locations, where this switch shall occur. If you are not in one of the Locations at the time it shall switch - the time switch will be ignored. IF you come then a bit later to this Location, then CHTS will recognize this and will do this time switch later, when you really need it.
    One example, for what this is nice: You define a usual time for work and only then you want Work4Me as PRofile. But you defined a Location "Work" as only allowed Location for Work4Me. So if you have free and you don't go to work, CHTS won't change to Work4Me. And if you come later to work, the time switch will be done then, if you arrive at work
    Easy to configure and understand... but much possibilities

    - Loco Locations can now be named in each Language! Reworked the whole database of Loco, so that this is possible now. Therefore this database is not compatible with 2.20, it is needed to reassign the Locations to Profiles in CHTS.

    - Kill Executeable with profile switch (to find in "Execute Apps"-Section of each profile). I think not much to say, only that call parameter are ignored and you have a checkbox to switch between Execute-&Kill-Add-Mode there. So if you are nerved by some running apps in background.. just kill it :)

    - New Option for Wallpapers: Switching S2U2-Walls (initial, scheduled, weather). This is provided as feature, which has still to be tested by the users. Please feedback, if all is working fine.

    - New Quicklinks: Save Layout, Restore Layout, Loco Reminder. For the full list of all Quicklinks look to Post #3: -->to List of all Quicklinks & Toggles<--

    - New CHTS Layout-Logging - all files, which are not copied are logged together with the reason, why. Settings in Misc of Main Settings underneath usual CHTS-Logging. Also added Button to delete this Loggs older than 1 day. Logg-Files for Profile Switch are to find in <storage card>\_CHTScheduler\Logging\CHTS_RestoreSense

    - improved: Layout-Switching (also for all the others like ps4, Theme, Sense) - re-written main parts of algorithm to copy things over. There were differences e.g. in compare to Full-Sense Restore and some more things. Result: More stable Sense after Layout switch and improved check, if file has to be copied or not.

    - much fixes and internal improvements. Too much to list all the single things.
