What Software Would U Like As A Panel - XPERIA X1 Themes and Apps

Is there any software on your x1 that u would like to have as a panel?
If there is please post a message with the path to the exe and i will try and make a panel.
If u can find 2 pics (one portrait and one landscape to match the software it would help.
ps. with a bit of luck some of the will turn out like my Google Maps Panel V2
(I will try my best but some may not work, and its only standard software, not plug in or UI)

Have Fun

An offer I can't refuse!
I'm not looking to have a specific program Panel-ized, but rather I'm interested in a panel that can disable TF3D upon entering(unless TF3D is turned off when you switch panels I'm not sure) and shows you a list of installed games or 3D apps. I Like to play games on my phone in short bursts and only when I need to kill a minute or 2, would be nice If it was a bit quicker to get right to the game rather than having to navigate several menus to disable TF3D and then opening programs and running the game.
If This is possible I would be greatly appreciative, also if it were possible to add/remove apps from its list either thru the panel or thru reg edit or editing a file that can be changed simply by adding a line with a link to the program I desire, that would be fantastic.
PS: I realize this is slightly different than what you are offering, but I figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

should be possible to make a panel that opens your games folder (showing all your games, or to open a game (solitare etc).
not sure what u mean by add/remove list? do u mean the uninstall menu?
I will see if i can make a few panels for games, see what u think.
im using a standard rom, i dont know if your rom has a different path to the exe's, but will try and u let me know if they work on yours

im having a problem making it open the folder, for some reason when u tell it to autoload a folder it activates opera and shows u it as a page.
should be able to make any game autoload if u can give me the path (eg. program files - games -solitare).
still looking into the uninstall program (cant seem to find the exe in windows, if any one knows please let me know)
i will keep testing

sorry, I didnt mean uninstall, I meant have the ability to add or remove a game from being listed in the panel since I hope to add more games to my phone in the future, but if you want to just have it open a folder with shortcuts to my current games I suppose that would be easier and you could just use the current windows\start menu\programs\games folder which should be the same for everybody. All I'm really looking for with this is to be able to push panel button select "game Launcher" panel and select a game while having TF3d disabled while this panel (and subsequent game) is in use.
Again thank you for taking the time to help me and I'm sure anyone else who wants to play 3D games with this panel.

thanks for the proposal,
for me, I would LOVE to have the abililty to have the alarm clock, strait, and not having to goes to setting for activating an alarm...
I would like to know how, to create a path, for say, some folders who are located in the microcard, and we could goes on and on...
Thanks you...Also, very often when I try to install a software, even, when it tell me the software was beautifully installed, I never truly know, where it is, and, very often too, I can not see or use it....I do wonder if this could also be related to the size in pixels of some applications...?

I was thinking for my perfect panel......
Some thing like panel manager, but with the running apps.
Could you catch me????
I I have 2-3 or more apps (usually 2-3) running at the same time, if I press Xpanel button, the panel launch icons of the apps running, so i can touch the app I want to focus.....
Could be Possible????

look in the romove program settings, see if the software is there.
could be lots of reasons why its not working:
it may not be made for wm6.1
it may have to be installed in the phone memory not sd card
(dont think its the size of the screen as it would still show up as an icon but would not work when u start the program).
is it the built in alarm u want or a different program (eg spb time)
to get the path i need just go on the file explorer and list the path from the device to the alarm.exe (eg = sd card - program files -handy alarm - alarm.exe).

i dont think its possible to do without knowing serious programing. it is possible to make a panel that u press on that has still pics for each app (3 apps = 3 still pics) that u can press on to send u to the app u want.
for this i need the path to the 3 or more apps (program exe files) to make this happen

VOIP service panel would be great too. so that whenever you have wifi connection, you can make a call with VOIP

Chome Panel Chooser

Hey guys. Whipped this thing up to help people choose the panels that can be displayed on the homescreen. So far it only contains 7 entries, the ones I found on my phone. You can turn the panels off or on, by selecting a panel and typing it "off" or "on" respectively. After you make the changes, you need to reboot to see the changes. The last option will make that easier for you. Choose "Reboot", type "yes" and it will reboot for you. Let me know if there's any other panel names you would like me to add, or if you find any bugs. Thanks!
Look good but isn't this just like the chome settings (neoOrder) that is in Rockys ROM where you can enable and disable the windows you want and change which position they are in on the screen?

To Clyde: It's cool. Contrary to popular belief, there are still some users that are on Kavana's ROMs. lol I have no problem with rickwyatt's, but I found them to have too many apps and tweaks that I found unnecessary for me personally.
To Org (and anyone who'll listen): This is great idea for those who aren't quite comfortable with editing their .xml files to rearrange the slider panels (like me)! I've noticed that many users have a panel called "My Programs". What do I need to do to create this? I think it's a really useful tool to "slide" straight through the programs you use on a regular basis. I've already read tons of posts on this, but it's not registering. Thanks in advance, guys.
It's difficult to sit here and do a step by step, but I'll point you in the right direction and answer your questions later.
1) Download a registry editor or use the one on the phone.
2) First off, keep in mind there's TWO places in the registry where you need to make changes. One is HKLM\Security\Chome\DefaultSettings\CWelcomeCenter and HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Chome\CWelcomeCenter
3) Look for a key that says "Disabled" and make sure it doesn't say "1". Or use my utility to turn the welcome center on.
4) When you're in the registry you'll find Page1, Page2, Page3 etc etc in both places. Each Page represents ONE slide. For each page you can makes changes such as... ACTIONURL is the path to the program you want to execute when hitting the middle button. for example "\program files\NRG\Chomeweathersettings\weather.exe" will run the weather program
SK2URL is the same, but for the right softkey. SK2Text is a label for that softkey. The "pictures" key points to the .png file you will be using as an icon for your program. Right now it probably says "2500". Change it to "\windows\weather.png" and you'll get the weather icon in its place, for example. The Title text is self descriptive... put in whatever you want the title of the slide to be.
I hope you can figure it out from here

I'm understanding how to read the code. Thanks for breaking it down. I'm just having trouble finding the .pngs for my icons and also (noob moment) finding the target file for certain applications. It's keeping me from being able to input the file address for ACTIONURL and SK2URL.
Not Hard to Find
Just think of your program, "Where is it stored?"
That should be your only question when finding your target file. That simple, you should look in your Program Files directory on your phone or you storage card, that will then tell you where the link is.
2ndly, you can find other programs in your startup folder. They will be listed in link format, but this is fine, the link can be treated basically as the exact file itself (as far as your phone is concerned).
Long story short, use these locations for your entries for ACTIONURL and SK2URL. Have a blast!

Thanks, OD. I've figured out the file locations and such. I just need to know where you guys edit the .pngs for icons. I've found some icons, but they sucketh. I want them glossy and polished looking like the default icons.
By "where" , I assume you mean what programs do we use?
I use Photoshop do edit my pngs. I think other, cheaper software is available. Don't quote me on that. Photoshop can also be attained other "ways" (cough,cough).
Anyways, you can easily mod any pictures, turn them into anything you want, .png,.tga,.gif,etc. Look around.

I understand how to make any pic a .png, .jpg, .gif, etc... It's not the icons that I need, but rather, the program. I'll search for "alternate" ways to get photoshop. lol
Rinku has a pretty good description on how to add CProgs on his blog. It at the bottom of the page.
Thanks guys for all your help and input! I've figured it out, and in the process figured out how to change the small icons in the upper lefthand corner of the panels as well. It's kinda tedious at first, but once you get the hang of it--it's not bad.

Editing Slider Panels
Does anyone know the default setting for this registry key: \HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CHome\CMessage\ICONPATHS? I changed it trying to change the condensed icon (upper lefthand corner) for the message notifications panel. Instead, my weather panel's icon was changed. What're the default values for the key? (ex. 2xxx;2xxx)
It is 2201;2201

S2U2 by A_C, customized to work with our smartphones

I believe S2U2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412418) is an awesome application and it's a shame A_C isn't actively trying to make it work better with smartphones, as well. So, I decided to take the last version that still works okay (for us) and prepackage all the required settings to make it work right and look like the screenshots below.
You'll notice the weather icon at the bottom. It's updated from my miniweather application and the next release of miniweather (very soon) will have builtin support to update the weather information on S2U2's display. Keep in mind that this application has be launched manually in order to lock your phone, so it's best to use with SmartToolkit where you can assign a hotkey to launch s2u2.exe (I personally use the Spacebar with a 200ms delay).
Another way to launch is to reassign a different key, such as the tzones key, by editing the appropriate shortcut in the \windows directory, to launch s2u2.exe.
Anyway, enough blabber, here's the cab.... Please test and let me know how it works
seems to take high memory resource, so i have to kill the app after unlocking...anyway great works...
Yeah you're right... it takes about 6 megs the way I set it up. Which is a lot for an Excalibur, but not really an issue on my Blackjack with 128Mb of RAM, hehe.
Anyway, if you remove the wallpaper.gif from the gfx\ folder and maybe either use a static wallpaper or NO wallpaper, the memory usage should go down A LOT.

Haha yah well thanks for putting this together for us man...
Also if I would like to remove the weather from showing up how do I do that because I think that is eating a lot of memory too...
Also, sorry about all these questions but is there any way to have this autostart when you restart the phone, like have it autostart like a process?
You have to edit the registry to do that, but trust me, it doesnt eat up RAM at all. Anyway, go to HKCU\Software\A_C\S2u2\ and find ShowWeather and set it to 00. If you want it off the screen, just delete the "UserWeather" key.
How can we get this app to show weather for other user weather apps? lets say showaco's or outerdepth's weather apps? I have the ShowWeather key set to "5" and i have the UserWeather key as well, but theres no values in the UserWeather key and i dont see anything on my S2U2 screen with the weather on it
You talk to showaco or outderdepth and have them add one or two lines to their weather script, to update the "Userweather" key in the registry

well i see that there's a gfx/weather folder, but i don't see how or where it's linked in the s2u2 registry . i mean i see from your .cab that the user weather shows C|34|Fair 57F ...so your saying that since it says "Fair" it know what icon to use? and secondly i saw in your pics where it has your city "Las Vegas", yet i dont see that anywhere in the reg entries in the S2U2 keys....
Hmm I love the clean look. I just don't know if I want another screen to access my homescreen? I will have to do some more research on slide to unlock 2.
I kinda of want to read some feedback.

If your read the FAQ in the original S2U2 thread, you will understand how it works. "C" means "custom icons". The 34 is the file it will display "34.png" and Fair 57 is just... that.... Mine says Vegas because I'm in Vegas. I removed the Las Vegas wording from the cab, as it's irrelevant

Well it's more like a replacement lock screen for the usual lock screen of the smartphone. With this you just push the right directional key to unlock, instead of turning the phone one, pushing the unlock softkey and then the "*" key, which is a major PITA and it always annoyed me about smartphone. PLUS you get a cool info screen that you can look at without unlocking the phone!
its working great, i cant change any of the settings tho...
would it be possible to control the slide with the joggr?
nice have to check this out when i get the wife's blackjack II
this is great tht you took the time to get this to work in d dash. i have a question ,my appoinments are not showing, the weather icon is not updating and have no idea how to activate the locking and unlocking sound.
Guys, in order to set any of the settings you need to either get SOTI Pocket controller or MyMobiler. Or, edit the registry directly with the help of FAQ shown in the main application thread
yeah, i have mymobiler and follow all the proper procedure in faq but still not showing the updated weather icon or appoinments so on

Program Launcher with multiple pages

Hi folks,
I'm looking for an programm launcher like the programs tab in TF3D, but I'd like to have multiple pages, as the 24 places in the tab are way to few.
Else I want to assign it to an hardware key, so I need an application, that is not integrated in TF3D.
Does anyone know a good app for this purpose ?
I guess someone already made something like that, but google and the forum search didn't bring it up.
Sounds like a job for Wisbar Advanced Desktop, I have 8 tabs on the main screen, 20 more fading in with one finger gesture, or configure a mainscreen tab to directly open a launcher page with 20 tabs per page, where tabs can also be a Inbox, URL or shortcut to opening a program with a given file. Then switch between unlimited launcher pages with one finger gesture per page.
^^ can you please tell me what part of wishbar advance i have to activate to make my screen look like that??
Look at MortScript and Mort Buttons You can add the buttons to start menu, Today screen or to the TF3D Programs page. each button has a full page or even multi-pages you can add apps, commands or scripts to. Really handy!

Then you need to install Sergej's free Blackberry Theme to the themes folder of WAD, and activate it as your default portrait mode theme.

The earth background pic is attached here
that looks really nice ... but how does is look in landscape mode? does it support landscape? if yes, i'll give it a try
Dont use landscape, but the program differentiates between those two modes, so you could just re-arrange the dock and tabs to fit your landscape preferences. For me the key feature was to be able to show unlimited appointments on my main screen.
already tried yota center?
Me I use UltimateLaunch that I looove with Yota

how to set the WAD as today screen? by disable the TF3D only?
last time i did try WAD, but, i didn't set it as today screen, i need to launch it as other program to get WAD work.
so, everytime you soft reset or wake up your HD, you will see WAD in your today screen?
Just disabled TF3D, started WAD installation, and WAD came up as today screen automatically. Yes, WAD is full today screen, but you can choose if you want to keep the Start and taskbar on the top of the screen, or have it disappear. Most standard Today plugins work from inside the WAD today screen, too.

thanks a lot Lucas, i will try.
Thanks for the ideas.
I'm already using Yota Center and its a nice program.
The only thing is that I'd like to have more pages, cause 24 places is too few.
I'll try Mort Buttons, looks interesting though.
have you tried launchmanager ? it's not free though ...

Thanks just one more question. When launching the Music player or Photo Viewer etc, are they the normal HTC ones or are they customized now?
Are they still easy to use?
Also does all your programs work normally? And if you don't like the WAD, you can easily delete it?

No, they will not be the HTC apps embedded in TF3D. You will set up each icon to open up your own apps. I haven't heard of anyone being able to use the HTC player or album yet as stand alone apps.
Yes they are very easy to use!
WAD will not affect the way your programs run. It is simply a launcher program (one of the best that I've seen yet).
Yes, you can easily uninstall WAD by going to remove programs and uninstalling it from there...although I have a feeling you won't want to after you get the feel for what it can do to your today screen!
Thanks that was a great explanation
just one more question for example do you mean it won't have a built mp3 player or something like that but you have to download a 3rd party one and assign it?
EDIT: I just bought it and installed the Blueberry theme but doesn't show up properly, i wonder why. I'm missing the clock, the calender and whenever i press the box on the right side, a empty grey box opens.. weird.
EDIT: Fixed it up by selecting Wishbar Desktop rather than HD BlueBerry, weird. some parts are still German even after applying eng buttons.

You can set it up to use Windows Media player if you want to, otherwise a third party app is what you will need. CorePlayer or PocketPlayer are a couple to check out.
I haven't installed the Blackberry theme for WAD yet but I do no if you don't have the icons installed in the correct places the theme will not show properly. I ran into this same problem when installing Mallmans Vista theme. As soon as I went back and followed his instructions perfectly, the theme was correctly displayed.
I'm not familiar with setting up different languages so I'm afraid I won't be of any help to you there. You may check out the Lakeridge WAD forum for that.
Here is how I have my WAD looking right now, a tweaked version of Mallmans Vista theme!

Google Maps Panel (auto load version)

hi,
I have made a simple panel that opens up google maps (only tested on uk rom) But i have only been able to run the program after u press on a button to start up.
Does anyone know the code (html) to make a program autostart on open up?
I have attached the panel for anyone who wants it
ps. this panel should be able to run any software on the phone as long as u have the path to the exe (change code in the source file)
Also is there a way to have a option menu in the panel manager for panels made with the html generator?
Added V2 with autoload
Nice...I'll try it...give you some feedback...care for a screenshot?
Thanks
added pics
the panel manager screen capture did not get the whole screen but u can see it top middle
Great contribution !!
Adding to the panels library
Keep up the good stuff !!
Maybe it will be useful when it can autostart. As it is now, I'd rather have a shortcut to start the program than a panel.

<body onLoad="extended://app:start?app=Program Files/GoogleMaps/GoogleMaps.exe">
Edit:
Well, that didn't work at all, so I guess the HTML Panel thingy doesn't support that parameter.
Tried <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="5;url=blah blah"> too, but no go. I'm out of ideas I'm afraid.
yh, i tried lots of different code lines (even tried to add flash code as the new panel manager works with flash in panels) but did not work.
but there must be a way as the over panels auto load.
I have a cab extracter software and going to see it i have extract the panels software and then add my own code to it.
but im not very good with the development side of things
Couldnt you just ask the guys that made the youtube or navigation panel?
Or maybe look at what the code says

Added auto load version to first post
ps. remember to uninstall v1 first

[APP] Theme Switcher Version 1.6 [2 Feb 2010]

I couldnt find an app so I wrote one.
This small app will give you the option to Save your current Settings or rather Mods to Manila/Sence or whatever you call it.
Im no good at graphics so I need someone to give me ideas on how to make it look better.
It will scan the windows folder for all *manila files that has a different date to the original Rom installation. It will take all these files and backup them to a specified folder. So when you flash and you had special clocks,icons,sliders, etc etc you can simply restore it instead of having to reapply all these custom items.
O yes please install on the Storage Card. Might waste too much space on the Internal memory.
I tested it and seems ok but all apps has bugs so please be nice. Leme know if any body wants the source code. Written in C# VS2008
Version 1.1
Please uninstall the old version. I changed the name to Theme Switcher so it will install into a different folder. You can just move the Backup Folder Across. Got some nice graphics and changed the wallpaper. The Config.txt file have some settings in it. Have a look.
Also Any files listed in extrafiles.txt will be backed up and restored as well so one can easily backup the current wallpaper etc
Version 1.4
Just added an Image so if you add a file by the name of "theme.jpg" in the folder where its backed up to it will show the image before you can apply it
Im sorry I re Uploaded the Cab File forgot to include the txt files.
If the Application Icon didnt show in the start menu its been fixed as well. Please show me some screen shots on a diamond
Version 1.5
Rebuild Cab file
- Icon Shows correctly
- All files included
- Added option to Exit without refreshing TF3D
Version 1.6
- Small Graphical changes
- Added following entries to extrafiles.txt which should backup the taskbar etc as well:

THANK YOU
Grumps, great job I love this app. Simple and works great.
I will be using it, not only as a theme saver, but also as a theme changer.
I just tried it to switch themes and it worked great.
I haven't used it much yet, so I don't have much feedback.
The only thing that I have come across that needs fixing is that the drop down list for the restore saved theme.
It is hidden behind the restore saved theme button.
Everything else works great.
Thank you so much.
Wouldnt i be nice to save phcanover & the other dlls with icons, too?
Seems to be a great app that will save me a lot oft time,
thx³

i can do that if you can gimme a list of the files. or maybe i can create a text file and one can list all the files in there that it should include in the backup? does anybody know which files contain the wallpaper and the top and bottom bar. guess its called the taskbar. the ones thats part of the top icons and bottom buttons. then it could be a complete theme changer. i use it as that as well
Grumps, thanks for the app. I believe that I am having the same condition that Phonatic describes. I have a Rhodium with stock rom, manilla 2.1.
But that shouldn't matter, should it?
My screenshot has differences from yours, aside from the bottom bar difference between your sense and my manilla.
Mine has the top task bar and less space between the drop-down list and the "restore saved theme" button.
Also mine has nicer looking buttons.
Do I have the wrong version?
When you have more items in your drop down list, does your list stay above the button?
I still am using it. I just use my arrow down/up to make my selection.
Grumps, as a suggestion to fix the problem that I have,
would it be easier to adjust the layout?, than to change the drop down to render in front of the buttons.
Something like this.
Also, since you asked for graphic suggestions, what do you think about making all the buttons have the same look.
Another suggestion is for your startup.jpg.
Instead of your screenshot, which is very nice, how about something that displays the program name and authored-by info.
With a "tap screen to proceed" kinda instruction placed somewhere.
Here are quick mock-ups of the idea that I am trying to convey.
I'm actually using it for your app, they look good on my Rhodium, much better than this screen shot.
I used screenshots from this site to make these mock-ups. Thanks to the OPs.
If anyone minds that I used their image, please let me know and I will replace it.
Anyway, just some food for thought.
Thanks again for the great app, Tilt
This awesome and such a time saver, thank you so much! One thing is I can not delete theme i have saved, I store on storage card but it says I can not delete it is denied other than that it is exactly what I have been looking [email protected]
Thank you for this program!

I will patiently wait for the fix. It still works as is.
By the way I like the taskbar showing on top.
Would you please do me the honor of putting this Startup.jpg on your Rhodium.
I just want you to see how it looks on the phone.
The screenshot just doesn't do it justice.
@anyone that wants to see how this looks on the phone, just right click on the image,
save as Startup.jpg and use it to replace the one in your phones Theme Saver folder.

Ihave and I am using it. Im batteling to make it look right on Windows 6.5 and 6.5.3 because of the topbar being smaller and bigger. Can you also give me one without any writing eg theme switcher and save/restore/switch and press any key. Trying to use it as a background image for the app and moving the controls to the menu items

You got a private message. Thanx for the image
What do you think of these buttons?
Here's a template that I made for you.The dimensions are exact to the current layout.
If you were to replace the current background with this, it would be functional.
Some graphics should be added, especialy to brighten the lower section.
The size of the top button looks off, I suggest either make it bigger to match
(which would look crowded with the task bar, unless you lower everything),
or I can change it into a text box or no box just text.
Do you need text added, or is the text part of the app?
Anyway, just let me know your preferences ie graphics, text, color, button style etc., and I will adapt accordingly.

This looks very nice. The reason why there is such a big gap at the bottom is that im not sure if it will all fit on a vga device. The buttons look nice. I also cant use it as is because on different device with different os's like 6.1 6.5 6.5.3 the image moves slightly up and down. so you will have to include the images with the text on it, as individual images and they have to be square cause i dont know how to program transparency as yet. Hope it would be possible. Thanx soo much for the effort so far It looks awesome
