[THEME] [Status Upd 7/28/10] [QVGA Lnd] [Std 6.1|6.5] SenseHero for Smartphone Theme

Well, I've had a lot of free time on my hands lately and this is the result. I'll probably be ditching my Blackjack II in about a month when I'm eligible for an upgrade, but I had to make one last theme for it.
As far as I'm aware, there are no other sliding panel themes like this for Windows Mobile Standard, and yes, the weather works! I had to write my own application for the weather (edit: and for the clock... I tried just using the HTC font for the clock but it didn't look that great). Since it's a sliding panel theme, there are of course pretty sliding animations when navigating around the home screen.
Requirements
Windows Mobile Standard 6.1 or 6.5
QVGA Landscape device
Update (6/5/2010)
Updated some graphics
Wrote an application to provide a better looking clock that has animation!
Update (6/6/2010)
Current temperature now displayed
Update (6/7/2010)
Initial release! Download and installation instructions below...
Update (6/7/2010)
Changed vertical alignment of temperature
Fixed bug where wallpaper was not automatically changed upon install on WM 6.1
To update, simply install the latest version of SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB. This is the only file that changed. No need to remove the old version before installing.
Status Update (6/9/2010)
I've discovered several bugs and will be looking into fixing them over the weekend. Here are the bugs I will be working on...
The clock and weather applications both have minor memory leaks that can lead to a crash after they've been running for a while.
Notifications sometimes disappear when the clock is updated.
The clock panel steals focus from the notifications and program links panels when it's updated.
The clock sometimes takes longer than I'de like to update when resuming from the screen off state.
The weather application can't be installed to storage card.
Status Update (7/28/2010)
Alright guys, here's the current status. I put a lot of work into this theme after the last release, but I could never figure out how to fix a few of the major problems without totally changing how everything is done.
The problem is that there is no good way to update the homescreen. The way the Weather and Clock applications currently do it is by telling Windows Mobile to refresh the entire homescreen. This has several adverse side affects. First of all, updating the entire homescreen is slow, so there is a noticeable pause when returning to the homescreen from any application. Second, there is a bug in Windows Mobile that causes unread email and text message notifications to disappear when the entire homescreen is refreshed. I almost got around the problem by using the registry to tell Windows Mobile to update only specific items, but I ran into some limitations here with the number of custom images I could update per plugin panel.
It seems like the best way to make this theme work flawlessly would be to make Clock and Weather homescreen plugins instead of them being separate applications. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any documentation from Microsoft on how to write homescreen plugins. People have done it so I know it's possible, but I assume they had to go by trial and error and it was probably very hard. I just don't have time to do that.
I think the best thing to do now is to release the source code as Visual Studio projects and hope that some talented developer with a lot of free time on his hands can figure something out. I'm packaging everything up and it should be available within a day or two.
Update: The Visual Studio 2005 projects are available below in the SenseHero_Source.zip file. Good luck!

Installation Instructions
If you have customized bronzeres.dll and CHome_320x240.cpr files that you want to keep, make sure they're backed up
Unzip SenseHero_For_Smartphone.zip and copy the files to your device or storage card
Install SenseHero_Clock.CAB and SenseHero_Weather.CAB
Install the SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB that corresponds to the version of Windows Mobile you're running (6.1 or 6.5)
After installing SenseHero_Theme_6X.CAB, you will be asked to reboot
Both SenseHero Clock and SenseHero Weather will launch automatically at startup. You will be presented with the following screen...
Type in your city and state delimited by a comma or your zip code. If you want weather information to be retrieved immediately rather than waiting for the set interval to trigger an update, select Update Now and wait a few seconds for the Last Update timestamp to display. Select Hide or press the Home key on your keyboard to minimize the application.
The wallpaper may not have taken effect for some users (especially 6.1 users). In this case, simply set your wallpaper to something else and then back to a SenseHero Wallpaper.
Three wallpapers are included with the theme...
Optionally, apply the glossy black color scheme attached separately by running its .exe file on your device (*Note: I didn't create this color scheme)
Customization
Due to the nature of this theme, custom wallpapers and icons are required. Photoshop and Paint.NET templates are available for this reason.
Images and icons used by this theme are stored in \My Documents\SenseHero\
Program links can be changed by creating new icon images and editing the CLinksSenseHero plugin in CHome Configurator.

This is great news!!
I´ll be pending on your launching
Thanks

Update information in first post.

how long?!!?!!

wow, cool !

i too am waiting for this.

It works the same way as the regular sliding panel theme. You slide up and down to select a panel (clock, notifications, or program links) and then you can slide left and right between pages on the notifications panel and to select a program from the program links panel.
Yes, you can click on items in the panels just like in any other theme.

Released! Post any bugs or problems you encounter and I'll try to get them worked out. It's a pretty complicated theme so I would be surprised if everything goes smoothly for everyone.

waiting for the potrait view...thanks...good work..

Hi,
I try this nice theme. It works correctly except the SenseHero Wether application. After running it, I get this error message:
"SenseHero Weather.exe DirectoryNotFoundException" and this list:
Uploaded with ImageShack.us

Battery
How is this theme on battery life? I know that on other renditions of the Hero clock, battery life is very minimal. Is this theme different than the others?

Did you install it to storage card? At this point, the weather application does not support installation to storage card.

Battery life shouldn't be affected. I kept this concern in mind while writing the clock application. If you navigate away from the homescreen or the backlight turns off, the application stops updating the clock. When you return to the homescreen or the backlight turns back on, the clock updates and resumes. So essentially, it only updates while it's visible, and thus should use very little battery life.

I installed as instructed, but SenseHero dekstop Weather.exe not appear outside of any known toi.ban help me thanks

KustHome : a new skinnable home

Hello all.
I come to present
my latest homescreen for Android: KustHome
KustHome is actually very inspired from the famous hs + + (formerly BatteryStatus) on Windows Mobile.
Basically you describe your desktop in an xml file that you put in
a folder with lots of PNG and you have the desktop of your dreams.
Catch below the bottom part (robot + hours+signal level, etc ...) is actually assembled from the XML.
(Images are declined in 3 colors to make 3 skins)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can place on the desktop:
- Images
- Gauges: images that change depending on :
- Battery
- The radio signal
- 3G
- The traffic data
- Wifi, bluetooth, etc. ...
- Text (which may change depending on time, to your own clock)
- A notification bar
I intend to add:
- Indicators of gmail, sms notification (for the nostalgic, because the widgets do that very well)
- Skinnable buttons to trigger actions chosen by the skinners
- A real clock to make the same as Sense (if a crazy skinner can make 60 images for the minutes)
In terms of functionality funs:
- coverflow desktop chooser
- coverflow running app chooser (without root)
Themes can be sent to me to be placed on the kusthome server.
For the beta everything is free. The software check on a server
if you have the right to change the theme, and download new.
Once finished the beta software will have a duration of 3 free days. Then only the default theme will be available.
(Practical for testing)
Then users must:
- Buy a paid version
or
- Have completed a theme
or
- Ask me to activate all options (a skinner who email a link with his work on other platforms will always have a free version)
PS : available only from Android 1.6 (and in beta so dont make it your default home screen to avoid brick your phone)

Hi,
I just downloaded this and think that its quite good. It has a lot of potential but there are a few a things that are wrong with it.
1- To get the the desktop thing (displaying all home screens) you have to go to menu, it would be much easier to be able to press one button (e.g. the select button)
2- People like to choose the number of home screens they have (I suggest 1-7)
3- I like the idea of having the notifications at the bottom, but this then makes it confusing with bringing down the bar at the top cause its not there and doesnt slide down properly
4- I cannot get used to the idea of not having a dock which is a major turn off for me
5- The Icons at the top... I'm not sure if they are meant to be switchers but if not then it would be a good idea to make them so, and maybe add some more things.
As I said it has alot of pottential but its not quite there yet, good work though =)
Thanx
Aaron

hi,
1 & 2 are planned.
you must click on the notification to open the bar (but yes they are too small)
a dock is planned
icons on top are not switchers because skinners can made small pictures and put them very closely. But skinnable switchers are planned.
You can use the search button to display the task switcher, but you are right : I will made an option to activate the desktop chooser if user wants.

love the way the screens are when the switcher is activated. maybe make it where the screen switcher is activated by a double tap or something simple like that. i will definitely keep an eye on this!!

double tap on home screen is allowed by android 2. It will try to keep it running on android 1.6.

yes 3 bugs:
- one if data are working when home launch (when i test I am on wifi and data download is too quick, on 3G I have the problem)
- one when moving some shortcuts (concurrent acces to database)
- one if home launch too slowly (not reproducted on my nexus under froyo...too quick) and events are throwed when screen not ready
an update will be published in few hours...

Tried with 1.6 rom and I didn't find kasthome in market, I also looked to the official website and I'm a little confused.
Can you clear this for me please:
For which version of android is and
Which resolutions supported?
I would like to test it and try to make a theme.
I could also make translation of the program if you're interested.

Sorry : kusthome was unpublished 1 july due to an enormous bug with the previous update. The widgets are inserted each time you run kusthome, so after 10 reboots you have ten widgets on the same place. I have unpublished it and
fix the bug. Kusthome is now on the market.
supported resolutions are;
- hvga
- wvga
but kusthome disappear from the market for 1.6... and I dont understand why.

was this continued??????

I would love that to be true.

I think I've tested it. Shows some promise, but doesn't seem to read the dBM signal meter on a CDMA phone, and the existing themes are a bit limited.

awsome
I like kust home alot, would love to make my own themes for it as im great at Photoshop , but not to good at ADB (wish i could change that) as of now im swutching between kust and adw ex i like the abilaity to hide status bar and the cool app draw anamations in ADW but i like how in kust it looks nice and clean

also this one too... ya never know...

nice~~looks really minimal and i like the blue =D

almost thought you had forgotten about lacuna from your other thread ..
so let me repost some feedback from the other thread and add feedback based on v2.0
clock:
next alarm info beneath clock maybe?
apps:
option where you can select favorite programs, possibly override windows start menu??
also qould be quite cool, if we go with the sliding theme, if the apps page (faves and all programs) could be brought up by sliding the main screen up
friends:
favorites would be very good
text:
i selected sms chat as the sms program, but when i click on a text message it still brings up the usual messaging app from samsung
when i get a new text message, i click on 'new texts' but it doesnt open anything, when i go swipe to the text page, my new text does not appear there either
mail:
im guessing this hasn't been implemented yet, but can't wait until it does ...
other:
the sliding can it combined with the ability to click on the sub-menus to see that page? i.e. so you do not need to swipe twice to get from 'friends' to 'mail'
just on this, when i was the friends page, and i click on the 'text' it takes me to the 'mail' page, but then the theme doesnt respond anymore??
alternate home screen: YES PLS

the impementation of clicking the text or mail word... doesnt work... as you found out... that is going to be disabled... the screens already scroll super easy... not hard to go from one end to the other...
im working on making the apps page so you can drag it up... not there yet...
i havent configured the sms program chooser yet....
mail page works... im not sure to what extent... i didnt code it... lol...
i am glad u like the alt. home screen... i think its pretty smexy too
as always... thanks for your great feedback wil_dee

Ok Thanx! Great

Very nice simple and elegant, but have following questions:
Mail page does not show anything, i looked through all xml and found nowhere any mail settings.
Wouls also love the option to select to show only favorites contacts or to add some favorite peoples.
Same for favorite programs, maybe an additional page to add a few programs and settings shortcuts.
For me the best solution would be if i could replace the contact page by a shortcuts page, where i would place 5 shortcuts to subfolders for weather, internet, fav people, applications and settings (i already have them).

This theme is without HW acceleration? Or need acc. too
Good luck

no acceleration required

Hi,
can you help me with some questions:
If installing this .cab, does it
- Add a new Element to select from the Home screen setting
- Does it interffere with Sense / CHT
- Can it be uninstalled without damaging the installation?
Thanks
Gescha

I am assuming that you are referring to throttle launcher itself
it is not linked to or related to Sense or CHT it is a UI in its won right so you would have to choose and deslect whichever you wanted at any given time.
It can be install/uninstalled without effecting anything else

Well .. what can I say? This is the best theme so far. I'll stay tuned for updates. Thanks.

Really nice. Love the minimalistic look.

Awesome. Love it.

Super Easy
Trek, youve done it again! This is crazy smooth! It is very minimilistic, something I think an option to increase would be great.
what I mean is that instead of opening Apps, and the start menu, maybe a second 'fav apps' screen that opens another screen for just your favorite apps. This is where you program your icons, etc.
Yea, would love the mail to work, but love how responsive text app is.
Another option, I use text alot! Maybe be able to choose which is first slid to (text, mail, friends)
The ability to show weather would really be great, like shown on the first post. Not sure if there is something that I missed.
I do have the same issue with tapping 'text', it goes to 'mail', and then program freeze. Doesn't require a reset, just a reload theme, and its all back.
Lock screen is really touchy. I checked and saw that I had accelleration at 10, with friction at 1. Reversed accell to 1, friction to 3, that helped alot. just a hint to folks out there.
And finally, maybe a calender screen or setting as well?
Love it, super smooth, super simple, great job as always!

most of these things have either been addressed or been implemented ... i like the configurable text, friends, mail order idea... but unfortunately the system im using for making it so easlily scrollable .... this may not be possiblee... no wait.. yeah i can do that..!!! sorry!!!
the picture on th front post with the weather you are refering to is not yet.... but how it will look when i am done..
so you didnt miss anything
i am removing the lockscreen... will prolly make skins or themes for the windows default lockscreen and one for the oboe style...
calendar implementation is planned but still unsure how to incorporate...
tapping text goes to mail bug will be removed... was an attempt that did not work with the concept..
otherwise... glad you enjoy it... my main purpose is to keep it simple and smooth for all devices...
and be Daily driver Worthy... my only currently daily driver worthy one is my own modded version of the BBSTORM theme...
i thought about releasing since it is modded and junk... not technically original design... so i think i might but there is a few things i have to address first.... ill email ya if ya want to try it lol....

Well I just hope this is not just another Start menu replacement that you already have installed in your Windows Phone. Well it be great if you have another alternative that you can play with..
Here's "Start", yes, that's how simple the application name was.
So what's in this application?
It's a Start menu replacement
You can add your quick lunch application
Intuitive search function
Able to run application
And it's fast
It's a Start menu replacement because I got bored with the native one, scrolling down on the list, or even having a jump function still makes me feel bored.. So I made my own. Don't you like having a 4 column, big icons as a start menu? Well I do
So here's a short video demo of the application
Tap the text on the top-right "JWMD Apps" to see more information
SUPPORT
Windows Phone 7, Mango, Tango. 7.8
TAKE NOTE
THIS MAY NOT WORK ON OTHER ROMS. Am sorry but I couldn't do anything about that. One reason I can think of why will not work is because Application folder, or the Install folder is hidden. Kind of stupid reason but I have already flash 2 different ROMs in my Mozart and 1 reason the application fail is because those folder I mentioned were hidden. so .. sorry.
UPDATE 2
You may want to enable root for this application using Root Manager by ultrashot

This looks great! Question though: For those of us who have 7.8, what is the use of this other than the search bar? And is it fast enough on the device to be a seamless replacement? I'll try it out later today when I have WiFi, and if it works without slowing down, I would be very happy

I use 7.8 too and I don't use search bar often (I never really use it), I used to tap on those quick jump letters.
If we talk about "seamless replacement" then no because what's on the start menu list in WP has already loaded in the memory right after you boot your device and it's not like an application that you can just terminate using back button.
You got to know that this is an application. It reads all the installed application just about 2 sec to show the main UI and another couple of seconds to read the icons from the cache. Once you run the application again, you'll have the same duration. Although there's a hidden stuff in my code where it uses a cache list of the applications installed, and the purpose of that is to make the loading faster (not implemented though because it's buggy).

Tried this out today, it works well, and is not too slow. The All Programs screen is absolutely more informative than the default start screen, and it allows you to see much more at a time than the start menu.
Suggested features:
- The ability to reorganize the Start panel.
- A settings menu for options such as adding/removing/renaming/reorganizing panels.
- If that is not possible, perhaps the option to have the Start panel show up on app start instead of the All Programs panel.
Bugs:
- The Results window does not disappear if I don't pick something from it. I tried swiping up and down, as well as left and right.
- Choosing an app, from the screen or search, crashes the app and it returns to the start menu.

Hi NullString. This is very usable application. I am working on similar one, which can group applications (and groups too to tree structure, it is necessary when hundreds apps are installed). Can you try the same? I mean it is not necessary to make two similar application.
Any notes:
1. When I want "pin to start" allready pinned application, program crashes.
2. When I tap to immediatelly last started application, this shows not back. When another one is launched between it, app is showed.
3. You can add "startup" option (after device reset) to your app by creating/deleting link in \windows\startup directory. I am programming launcher to your app in this startup way now (startup link for *.exe can be created by my Phone Commander, but it may be possible to create/delete it for managed dll programmatically).
4. Are you able to make orientation sensor accepted version? Landscape mode is necessary on HTC7Pro. I can also send you simple functions for HTC7Pro cursor keys handling, I am redesign all my programs for keyboard controlling too (also with BT keyboards in future), this is more quickly and comfortable then by touchscreen.

good work...............

Does this require full unlock or would it work with dev unlock?

rise up! I'm back

doesn't work for me ! i'm on omnia7 devbuild_8862 by septvies. The app loads all the applist and then sneakly crash.

Also what is giving me the ****s it is like a Win10 situation where it is Huawei pushing a pic from the net to me.. (or only other option would be quickpic app as I use this to set the wallpaper).
I just checked on the change this morning and the pic is not actually sitting in my gallery. And I hadn't seen this picture before.. it's not in the standard Huawei pic set..thus the theory of it being pushed from the net..
I am on stock rom..
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this?

You have Themes and Settings, change the wallpaper. By default, MagazineUnlock pictures are showing and changing

I wrote above: Magazine Unlock. No root needed, you will find the folder and pics on Internal mem.
Btw, redefine the theme and put your own photo as wallpaper.

Thanks for reply..
And maybe it has something to do with theme.. but there are no "theme settings' in EMU 5.0.1..
Well as per my screen shot there is Huawei's setup..
But I actually use Apex..
So, as this same setup has been on my phone's for the last 4+ years.. (I know..why change a good thing)..
To have wall papers turn up (as said very much like Win10 does on lock screen).. but this is not my lock screen. This is main wall paper..
Thing is.. only ever so often.. only say once a month..
My feeling is they are slipping through either Apex.. or EMU..as showed.. I have settings shut down for changes..
Don't even worry about the lockscreen ones..they are not the owns turning up..

What about Themes built-in application?! - this is exactly for setting the themes, haven't you seen that and did you try to use it?
I hope, you didn't think it was a bloatware and (because you have a root), you just deleted that app before finding first what it is and why you need it.
Besides you can directly set up any picture or photo as your wallpaper.
Àlso, and again, did you look into the MagazineUnlock folder on the Internal mem (no root needed), what pictures do you see there, do they correspond to your random wallpapers?
I know there are no proper help/instructions for EMUI but you can try to get familiar with its setings and built in apps and features.
If you are not using stock ROM then you will get better help if you ask in the corresponding custom ROM thread. Also if you are using special launchers or so, then it might be a how-to question for that launcher or your own themes/wallpapers app, this is not EJUI 5.01 fault
One more tip: if by flashing back and forth various ROMs, you came to the point that you are mising some apps, particularly Themes app (maybe also Calendar, etc), then you need to go back and properly install stock ROM. This was a known case that people, after manually flashing ROMs (immproperlly or incompletely) lost some built in apps and/or got mess. In some casese it was enough to do Factory reset with wiping Internao memory (you can't with root or TWRP).

Yes,
Understand the theme app..have used it and may freeze it as I have a feeling it's over riding the "off' on change as per screen shot before..
So.. again..
NO.. the pictures that appear are not part of that directory..
Yes.. I can..and I do use quickpic to set my own home screen wallpaper..
Stock rom..nothing deleted..( I think you can see via my post account I kinda know what I am doing a tad..as been flashing tons of different devices over the years)..
So maybe theme app is pushing pictures to the phone with out my permission and wants..
Actually happened this afternoon..
Thus a freeze might be good..
Thanks for the input.. got to be happening to someone else..I can't be the only one.
Edit:. Actually just a thought, I just remembered I was forced to download the Microsoft launcher for some reason.. even through it is not what I use..I wonder if this has a hook in.. anyway, just deleted it .. will see if this is the culprit..
