Weather App - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps

Hi is there a better weather that can run from the touch flo buttons. With the default one i cant get a town near to me the nearest is 10 miles away, so the weather is out.
Thanks

as a newb to WM i had tha same problem, but after a few questions on here and some help from
Hamz22 and jamie walsh i got it sorted, big thanks to them and i hope this helps other newbs like me
so for all those newbs here is how you change the weather location to places not listed in the default program on the TP2
1.Download and instal total commander http://ghisler.fileburst.com/ce/tcmdpocketarm.cab
, also instal net framework 3.5
2.once installed open TC up and look in the phones windows directroy for this file 2330fc3c_manila
3. when you find it using TC copy it to the stoagr card on your phone
a box will come up and the location wiil be \\windows**, to save it stoagecard change the location to \Storage card and then click copy
4. still in TC go to the storage card and find the file , open the file details in TC its the right hand side button on the top row of commands, and uncheck the read only box
5.now using TC copy this file back to its original windows directory on the phone.
6. download the weather location app and install on the phone version 1.20 is needed
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=120460&d=1223638121
using this you can now add towns and cities
to get the Accu view weather location for your area if in the uk go here
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...ather&traveler=0&loccode=EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
as you can see this location is for chorley so the accu code for that is EUR|UK|UK108|Chorley
once you have added a new town etc you need to do a soft reset for to be able to use it

just to add heres some fun codes to add
Death valley 92328(for america it uses the zip code)
south pole ANT|AQ|AQ---|SOUTH+POLE

cool cheers I found this but could not find the xml file so hopefully will be bale to use your method
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368282&page=11

i get an error telling me i need a newer version of the .net framework.

sorry you need to have 3.5 net framework installed a search on here will find it

Cheers . Got it too work . Impressed i actucally found my village on the place list in accuweather.

just confirming this worked like a charm

Sorry guys didn't work for me... 1.2 is saying "file write protection of database couldn't removed"... tried 1.1 modified.... but touch flo restarts every time... i click on it( i checked that read only is unchecked in windows folder for that file...
OK...I figured it out... some of the steps..are other way around for me...somehow...
1) before installing Weather Editor 1.2 - go to windows folder find the file "2330fc3c_manila" - I used Resco explorer 7.05 to go to properties of file to uncheck "read only" (note that if u press once the check wont disappear..it will become transparent - double click makes it disappear completely) - then confirm changes to the system by pressing yes in the appeared window....
2) install weather editor 1.2, launch it go to find the country u need.... press edit to click cities...and add your city with accu code
3) restart your phone
4) go to weather pad in touch flo and add your city
work for me...however u can't delete the weather editor after it... it deletes the file and substitutes it with original one...
now another problem: clock... I found my city there... and now it confuses the time zone... London time should be the same with Durham... but it says its different...that is why it causes other clock to be different if u just simply change it to real time... is there any way to force it to correctly identify time zone?

Sweet, awesomeness weather app, now in a town near me! w00t. Cheers for the info dude.

Just confirming that it worked for me also.
Thanks-a-mil - great work.

It works fine for the weather tab, but unfortunately if I set my location in the clock to to the same place it is 13 hours behind!
I've checked the entry from accuweather which is EUR|UK|UK199|Redcar and it all seems fine
Very confusing

same problem for me - I reportede it in several threads - no reply yet

Brilliant! Thank you! My local time is set right but everywhere else in the UK is 13 hours ahead! Oh well! At least I know what time it is where I am.

I edited on PC 2330fc3c_manila.dll file from Windows folder on PPC, edited it with SQLite Administrator
HTML:
http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
just check last fields (timezone and msid) in cities section for your town and copy them from nearest one to your town (geographically)

Thanks xGuess, now I don't have to pretend that I come from Newcastle!

I'm sorry! I don't understand? Wasn't bothering me until the computer started changing the time. Ment I missed all my appointments! Please could you say again how you correct the time? Thanks!

Two posts up ^^^ Wot he said!

Did it! Thanks! Took me ages to open the table! Then even longer to realise I had to copy it to my computer rather than editing it from the storage card. Oh well, it's done now! Thanks for your help! Is excellent!

I do not know how to do that, but I managed to map hardware button to slide.exe. To do that you have to create a link to it (for example to programs folder). Then you can map this link via Settings >> Buttons. Only issue I am having is that the time is lagging two hours on Slider screen.

Just a guess - I don't have the application installed and haven't had that program but your phone has to clock settings Home -> Visting. Maybe your phone is accidentally set to Visiting clock and the home clock is off by a bit and the applications are pulling the time from the Home clock? It's a shot in the dark guess but worth a shot!
Well

Thanks for the reply that was actually the first thing that i checked when i noticed the problem
Clock Off
Best guess I can give is that the time isn't being adjusted for time zone. Mine is 5 hours ahead and I am in US Central time zone (GMT -6) so it is close to Greenwich mean time.
I would try to fix this myself since the source is provided but I need a developers kit and a compiler...
Edited:
Actually if I remember correctly (big IF) daylight savings time is a US thing so with DST right now that would put the offset right at GMT.
anybody figure out how to fix the timing issue

"Diamond" Digital Clock Install Program?

It seems they are just little number files but they won''t overwrite the existing files that are in the Windows directory.
Anyway I really like the look and wonder if there is a CAB type file that will install and voila, you have the Diamond look digital clock?
Anybody know of such a program?
Or a really simple set of instructions.
I followed the instructions and I can't get it to work.
Or how about a way to get the "Diamond" Digital Clock in to S2U2?
Help... help... help...
Hi Jim,
I was actually looking for quite some time and found a diamond digital clock cab. It was here in XDA but I cant find the thread I found it in (It was in the main hacking and development thread)
I'll just repost the cab file and hope I dont get reemed out. I take NO credit for makng this file what so ever.
I had tried installing it before on my vogue and it wasnt working then I upgraded my rom to 6.1 and figured Id give it a shot and it worked. I dont know if that had anything to do with it. it SHOULD still work in WM6 I just wasnt able to get it to work for some reason.
I think you have to disable HTC home as well too before you install the cab.
Nice find!
When I try to install on 6.1 it says "Installation unsuccessful". Any thoughts?
...Nevermind. For some reason it was copying itself when I put it on the sd card and one of the files was broken.
when you have it running is the clock in h:mm:ss tt format (ie 8:04 pm) or is it in hh:mm:ss tt (08:04 pm) I cant for the life of me get the zero infront of the single digit time (anywhere from 1-9 am or pm). just really erking me thats all. I had only installed this myself last night when I saw this thread asking for it so sort of a coincidence.
Anyway.. yeah let me know how your clock works and if you had to do something to fix it. I went into the regional settings and what not and changed the time format but still didnt change anything even after a reset.
For anyone who's installed the cab I posted and had the same issues I had (the 0 infront of the time (08:43 pm) then heres a quick fix I found in the hacking/development thread in the main forum.
Just copy the file in the zip file to your new HTC Home folder on your phone. Should be /HTCHome, sp right in the phones main directory alone with my documents and program files etc. If when you copy it over to replace the exsiting HH_Home_off. png in the folder it wont work go and disable the HTC Home plugin then copy it. That worked for me. Now I finally have a normal looking clock without always having to have 4 numbers showing.

Installed great! thanx a lot.
Since I installed this I can only select Bakersfield for my weather.
Anyone know a workaround?
Also this plugin severly lags my touch, anyone else?
Thanks.
diamond clock
So does anyone know of a diamond clock that actually flips like the real diamond clock?? All the skins for HTC HC are great but i would love to find something closer to the real deal.
Actually it doesn't lag anymore, but my weather is ONLY Bakersfield.
IS that with everyone else?

I had this same issue... What I had to do was uninstall it.. use the normal HTC home and reselect my city then reload on this updated version. Aparently all you have to do is add the XML of your city somewhere in the registy... I have no idea how so if anyone knows how feel free to let us know.
Since I did the steps above I havnt gone in to "Change city" anymore and it updates my city fine

I uninstalled and reinstalled and it worked as you said it did. However, when I changed it from Fahrenheit to Celcius thats when it updated to Bakersfield.
I can sort of understand Fahr, but Celcius would be much nicer. I think the benefit outweighs the cost so i'll use canada + fahr . Unless you know how to fix this.

Rhodium Manila Weather Edit?

I've tried a couple of weather database editors but they all just crash the new version of Manila, is anyone working on an editor that works for this version, or does someone know of one that does work that I missed ?
Much appreciation for any help or suggestions.
PS: I realize it's not "out" yet, but I'm trying out a ROM with it cooked in (EnergyROM 2.0 031109).

This is from Slawcop, all credit goes to him.
I tried this method, and it added the city to the DB but it would not update the weather for it. I verified my Accuweather code was correct as well.
For weather with this ROM....I have not found a weather database that works. The ones out there are causing the touchflo to continually restart and a HR is needed...I have installed my custom town on everyone of the Energy Rom's by following these instructions. I know it works....I have personally done it for some of my friends and there cities...
Go into settings and disable touflo3d.
Browse to the 2330fc3c_manila file in windows. Once you find it place a copy of it on your desk top. Then right click on the manila, click properties and turn off read only.
You then need to download sql-Editor http://sqliteadmin.orbmu2k.de/
Open the file and run the exe.
Click on databases, open, then go to your desktop where you saved the manila, find it and load it (you might have to click all files on file type to find it).
Once it loads you will see it loaded and a tree menu in the left column. You should notice Cities is expandable, so click the + sign and you see ID and under it you see city name click on it.
Once you click on it then over to the right you should see three tabs SQL Query/Result/ and Edit Data. You want Edit Data click it. If you dont see the chart of cities, states and countries then double click again on city name.
Now the easiest way I did it was find a city in my state or close to the same as mine and edit the information. For instance in number 1823 I inserted my city by editing it. You have to edit the cityname, state, Country, and then under accuweather code you have to make sure they all match EXACTY...capital letters...spaces etc...Also make sure the timezone matches your area. That is why it is important to find a large town close to the town you are trying to add and use the correct information.
You double click on city and a edit memo will appear with the city name edit it exactly. then move onto the next one and so on.
Once you have edited all categories that need it, which if you did like I said would only be the city name in lower case, and city name in upper case.
Once done close SQlite.
Go back to the manila on the desk top right click on check it back to read only.
Now using total commander or other registry editor install the manila file back to the windows folder. Then return back to setting and reactivate touchflo3 and your done. Go into the city and add your city...should be it...

Hi,
use 2330fc3c_manila from Rhodium-Thread Post #4 .. .this will work
It does not work for me too. It says "No weather data available". Whereas with the same accuweather code I was having no problem with Diamond weather. Where can I be wrong?
EDIT:
It worked after I added the registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\Manila]
"Weather.ServerURLOverride"="http://weather.not2advanced.com/htcweather/forecastdata.php?ac=XDADevs&locCode=%25ls&version= 1&device=innovation"
Search for Weather Master. That is now fixed som it also works with rhodium!!
Thanks a lot, works for me on ROMeOS with Rhodium

Editing the Weather XML

So I found the weather database in \Windows\ and was trying to edit it to add my city but it seems that it's stored on the ROM part and I can't seem to rename it so I can put my new edited copy in. Could anyone advise me on how to do this? Or is there a new version of the Weather Database Editor that was used for other HTC's? Thanks :]
Use Totalcommander and uncheck the attributes, then replace en recheck the attributes
What are the files that can be edited?
Total Commander couldn't seem to do either but I found an entry in the registry that I could change instead. Unfortunately it's still the "loccode" so it still doesn't have a city near me. I would love a weather panel alternative that is exactly like the htc one but would support zip codes. I tried chome weather but it was so buggy for getting it to show up on the home screen.
As for the files I was trying to edit, they were xml files in \Windows\ and began with HH. I don't have my phone with me at the moment so I can't get the full name.

Just change the city information there with what you want. After you save the edits go back to your Weather Panel and it will say its updating.. Mine error on the first attempt (said it could not download data) but I tried it again and it worked. The city MUST be in the online database or it wont work at all, my first city attempt would not update, my second choice did. I wanted Millersville, PA but its not listed.. but Lancaster, Pa was listed online (the 'more online link' in the Weather application.

The list of available cities is very small. http://www.accuweather.com/world-city-list.asp In the registry, there is also a city name that you can enter the new name for it as well. Just make sure you only make regeddits because thats all these are. the moment you go back into the program and pick a city, your changes get reverted. As for the cityindex, i think thats just the local index in the database of cities.

I found it on Accuweather, its NAM|US|AZ|KINGMAN "Kingman, AZ, US" the only problem is it reports as the last local city thats on the phones DB.
ie if it was on Las Vegas it says "Kingman" but reports the weather for Las Vegas... I have a feeling your correct with the CityIndex being a local lookup, but i feel that that Index is where it holds the records to download the info from Accuweather.com
Where can we find this Index?
Edit:
Wait, i went to the Accuweather site from the Weather App on the phone and it reports the same temps/etc, but on my desktop its completely different... Dont know which to trust (10 degree difference)
I am trying to find a better way to get this done. I wrote a mortscript that lets you input the info (city, location codes) and writes it to the registry and it seems to work so far... the only issue I am having it upon reboot it reverts back to the old information that was selected via the weather program?? not sure why as the reg edits shouldnt change. I will post a working script once I figure this out.
And just an update, when editing the Registry you need to also change the CityIndex line, the cityindex can be found on accuweather.com, it is the string of numbers right after the city codes:
/us/pa/harrisburg/17101 <----
it is not always the zip code. My location lanc is zip code 17603 but the cityindex code is 17454 or 17573 (17573 worked for me)
You will know thats it is working if you then select More Online and the accuweather page loads in PIE with your city
@ Bupahs
I had that too, reverting back and then it can't download for my location
I live in the Netherlands and i can't see the cityindex numbers, this is my link in accuweather:
http://www.accuweather.com/world-in...ather&locCode=EUR|NL|NL008|HEERHUGOWAARD|&u=1
so got any ideas?

the Weather Station in Heerhugowaard says the code is 2207 (its the same for Heerhugowaard, Oterleek, Veenhuizen)
Got it!!
That elusive CityIndex is none other than the +4 on your zip code. Lancaster, Pa is 17603-1599 the 1599 is the CityIndex. For example Harrisburg, Pa is listed in the HTC Weather applications list and when I go into the registry the CityIndex is 3265: the State Capitol is
State Capitol
Room 129, Main Capitol Building
Harrisburg, PA 17120-3265
So far successive reboots have not reverted back to old settings, and updates come through perfectly fine. So now all I need to do is edit my Mortscript to use the plus four zip and it should hold as well. But for now, find your +4 in your Zip and try the edits:
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\Location
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\LocationCode
HKLM\\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings\CityIndex
I used your method and i does still work after reboots, but where it says "last tupdated" always remains the same, and if i manually update all it does is update the time it says "last updated" ( so by example it is static at 22 minutes ago, then i update and it turns into 45mins ago..)
It also doesnt seem to auto update.
I ended up downloading NRG Weather 3.0, NRG Mini Weather, and Mini Weather 1.4.
Im using NRG Mini Weather atm. HTC Default Sliding panel is kinda dodgy with non-default locations.
Actually, the CityIndex is index # or (row #, start from 0) of your city name in the "HH_0409_WeatherCities.txt" file. You can test this by moving the index of your city to the top of the list which will give your city a 0 for CityIndex value.

Just change the city information there with what you want. After you save the edits go back to your Weather Panel and it will say its updating.. Mine error on the first attempt (said it could not download data) but I tried it again and it worked. The city MUST be in the online database or it wont work at all, my first city attempt would not update, my second choice did. I wanted Millersville, PA but its not listed.. but Lancaster, Pa was listed online (the 'more online link' in the Weather application.
You need to go to http://www.accuweather.com/ to get your location code

Maybe file has a different name??
My device HTC Touch2.

I found this file - HH_0419_WeatherCities.xml . It contained list of towns. BUT, if you uptdate weather it show "no data"("данные недоступны" (RUS))
I tried a few programs called Weather Database Editor, i can open them, and can change cities, but after i go to Weather tab - no changes at all

once you add cities do a soft reset for them to appear

I dont remember well but i think i did. I think the problem is that whatever program you use, until the weather file is read only you can not make any changes, but i dont know where is this file with the list of cities so i can uncheck Read Only and make changes, what is its name in Mega?
So, i found the file, removed "read only", put my sity in, and when i go to Update Now it says it can not update for selected city
