Database Users

[APP Update 12.12.08] Commandline WeatherDatabase Editor (add new locations to TF3D)

I read on the below mentioned page that adding new cities to TF3D was really easy, and they were right,
the only problem is that i don't want to install something that I'm only going to use once
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=weatherdatabase
So I created my own version, which does the same as the WeatherDatabaseEditor from andreas.falke
with the exception that it requires minimal user intervention so it can be used in SDConfig.txt or similar solutions.
Also if your country is not listed it will make a new entry in the country list.
It has been tested on my MDA Compact4 (Diamond + Dutty's V1.7 Rom)
And it works like a charm, let me know what you think
I'm not sure if it will work on any other device, but because the Diamond is the first of many TF3D devices
the generic "Development & Hacking" forum seemed to be a better choice,
MODs please move this topic if you think it should be in the Diamond App's section.
Currently you'll get a popup when the app is completed, I might change this in future version(s)
Don't forget to edit locations.txt prior to running the app!
Requirements:
- CF.Net, I tested this with 3.5 not sure if it works with 2.0
How To:
1. Save/Unzip (I advise in the internal Storage) just put the files in a folder.
2. Edit locations.txt, there are already a couple locations in there, Region is optional and first line can be ignored.
3. run CmdWC3.exe
4. To be save do a softreset
To Do :
1. Remove the currently selected Cities (or atleast an option to remove them)
2. Make popup optional
3. new version which has an interface, silent operation would be done by arguments "\Storage card\CmdWC3.exe Silent"
Any Comments?
Thanks to
R. DevilR for pointing out how it's done
andreas.falke for his work
idsk for the registry tweak
Garfield for his Tut (Yes i read that one too)
N2A for the website that makes this all possible
-=Edit=-
I've tested with some roms and here are the results
Dutty's Full 1.7 & 1.8 - Works
SwiftBL v6.0 - Works
SCv2.8 NL_Black - Fails
TLR 3.08.07.16 - Fails *
Bepe 0.97 - Fails *
DIB Diamond v1.22 neon - works (thanks Teto )
udK Syrius HD - Failed (Fixed in V5)
* issue is twofold, it looks like they use a different layout of the manila file... working on it
-=Edit 12.12.2008 =-
I recently changed to the udK Syrius HD Rom, but CmdWC3 didn't work, so
made a new version.
My advise, First run Version 3, if this doesn't work run version 5
Restart* and you should be able to select the proper city.
At least that was what I did with the Syrius Rom.
*I just tried with restarting TF3D only and that also seems to do the trick.
Please let me know if it worked (or not) and which Rom you are using.
Thanks
-=edit 01/07/09 =-
Just noticed that the locations.txt included in the first attachment is missing a > next to city....
you could get some error messages...
sorry bout that.

worked like a charm, thanks

your text is:
Netherlands,noord-holland,Hilversum,EUR|NL|NL008|HILVERSUM
i tested:
Germany,Nordrhein-Westfalen,Ahaus,EUR|DE|GM011|AHAUS
but it don´t work... any idea ?

I added it to my list and it did work, do you have a German version rom?
if so what is the foldername of the Windows folder?
I think the App cannot find the manila files...

hi, yes i have a german version, the bepe 0.97 ROM.
The Windows Folder is called "Windows", also standard.
but your cab .exe file is in the internal 4GB Storage, called "Interner Speicher" in german.

The internal Storage naming sholdn't be an issue, I think it has to do with Bepe's rom, the orriginal idea (and application) has the same issue
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408918&highlight=weatherdatabase
2. install WeatherDatabaseEditor from andreas.falke, the latest version is 1.1.
If it doesn't work (for TLR or bElite ROM for example), you can try this "patched" WDE (from PPC-Welt, it seems).
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
which one are you using premium, basic or lite?
I know TLR has tweaked TF3D to be uninstallable (whatever that may mean)
so there are some diffrences..
Could you check if you have the 2330fc3c_manila and _2330fc3c_manila (in \Windows folder)?
could be that they are hidden...
Just so i have it right, the entry does not show up in TF3D...right?
Also could you post the 2330fc3c_manila file?

Small update, I've checked bepe 0.97
it seems that he's using a slightly different version of 2330fc3c_manila
which doesn't have the Countries listed, also
the application cannot change the properties of the file to be able to write to it...
Checking if the Countries are mentioned is not the problem, fixed that already
it is setting the file overwritable thats the issue..
I'm sorry but i don't see a solution besides manually copy pasting a already fixed 2330fc3c_manila & _2330fc3c_manila to the windoes folder...
Sorry
maybe in the future...
-=edit=-
I'm looking into this again, i can't stand it that it doesn't work...

Well done, thanks! It's really handy in combination with automated installers like Sashimi. Even more when you've added the silent operation and removal option. If this works on the ROM's I'll flash in the future, I won't have to manually change anything weather related after flashing. That would be

I can post it but it could very well be my user error. I know that when listing cities in the U.S. the go in a little diffrently on all of the Accuweather programs. How is your command line program set up to recieve the US cities and I will try that first.

The setup is like

Code:

Germany,Nordrhein-Westfalen,Ahaus,EUR|DE|GM011|AHAUS
Not sure how/where you would get the data, maybe this helps:
http://www.gizmorepublic.com/portable/htc-touch-how-to-get-your-local-weather-3740
<Country> will be added to the country list (if not exist)
<Region> & <City> will be added in the country
You could name the country aaaaa so it will be the first one that pops up...

Not working here, says he cannot read the locations file?

SQL problem...
I'm trying to add:
Canada,Newfoundland,St. John's,NAM|CA|NL|SAINT JOHN'S
It is complaining about the ' character. I believe your SQL statement is getting confused by the ' in "St. John's" and "SAINT JOHN'S". You need to make sure when you read from the text file you encapsulate the string with quotes like "<string>" before you try to insert into the DB...
Sounds like a great prg, I hope you can fix it for me or give me the src and I will fix it. Thanks!

Install Express: Quickly install ALL cabs

I'm not sure if somebody has already put this cab somewhere on XDA, but in case no one has, here's an app that allows you to install all cabs in your TP2 quickly & silently. I found it somewhere on the Internet. Now you don't have to install every single cab and go through the installation process over and over again.
This app:
- is useful for those who are fond of hard-resetting their tp2 or flashing new roms..
- Works great on TP2.. (at least it does on mine)
Just install the cab on your tp2 & run the program. You'll figure out how everything works from there. The app is in French, but the ZIP file below includes the setup for English. Install the setup if you want the app in English.

Working??
Sounds great!! Does any one have any screen shots of this? or can confirm this works?

It works

Hi monotonyallthetime...
I can confirm it works.. it really does & the installation process is quite fast.. It even works as a background app
I'll post the screenshots pretty soon..

You now it is a very old idea? On most roms you can find UC (for user customization) that do the same. Search the forum for this one.

Or you can use Sashimi, which has also been around a long time, to do the same thing plus even more. And it is in English and well supported.

App in English..?

After you installed the English setup, the app would still be in French. Ignore this first and go the last tab on the app. You'll see a box that says 'French'. Click that box and an option box will appear. You'll see 'English' there. Click 'English' and the app will show up in English straight away..

Boy I'll second the vote for Sashimi. I have mail, wifi, and most all my apps auto setup after a ROM flash. Works great once you spend the time to set it up. Only problems are some ROM's need different apps (is Opera already at 9.7, does it include an auto-lock, task switcher, etc) but it's a very cool program:

problem with swype

hi folks, hope someone han help with this.
i'm trying to cook in the latest version of swype (cabbed by lord yuz. from a 'certain' site)
i've converted the cab to an ext but even though it builds it's not opening the keyboard. i can't see what i'm doing wrong but if anyone has a working package or any ideas what i'm missing i'd be grateful
thanks
Chris

You need to replace 'ModelName.txt' in Operatorpkg with a T-Mob modelname.

thats what i initially thought from earlier versions but i understood this version was cracked to avoid that requirement?
thanks for the advice mate, i'll give it a go

If you are using ervius kitchen, and you created the EXT from the CAB,
normally on your app.dat file you will have only "Directory("\Windows\Swype...")"; try to exchange all of them with the equivalent like "Directory("\Program Files\Swype...")" the problem is that you will have a duplicate of all your file (each in windows directory and also in program files\swype directory).
To make it your default SIP use this reg key in your app.reg.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip]
"DefaultIm"="{7D51A54F-14D0-4eda-AC8D-0AE175C344E8}"
I hope it will help you.

cheers mate, i've tried the modelname and no joy the ext i'm using is writing to the windows directory, i've edited all the paths but no joy on it working. also it's not duplicating the files.
i've cooked in nuesipdefault so swype is selectable. gives the option to choose.
any other ideas from anyone as i'm really stuck with this

maybe you will need also this on your app.reg
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Swype]
"DataDir"="My Documents"
"FirstTime"=dword:1
"InstallDir"="\\Program Files\\Swype"

Swype is one of those apps that cant be set only in windows... sorry bud but it seems that some paths are hardcoded inside the exe file not just in regs, i tried sometimes and cant make it works just in windows\

here you are

after trying all the different cabs and ext packages of swype that I could find,
none of them worked when cooked, so I decided to play around with the files from
3 different downloads. I finally managed to create a package that works with
osKitchen for the HD2 - Leo. just extract to your EXT Packages folder.

2 ways to fix it:
- Use the latest "SettingImprovement.exe.0409.mui" and rename to 0413 <-- my advise
or
- Use the "Settings_Improvement_1_0_19211330_06" from the stock 1.66 NLD rom
It's probably due to the fact that you're using a 0413.mui that doesn't fit the newer package
(Just like QuickGPS, Voice Recorder and some others ...)

Aurora ICS keyboard languages, spelling and prediction.

It looks like the keyboard doesn't have a dictionary yet, and there are only a few languages on the spellind menu, and they don't appear to be working.
Is it just me or this is normal and dictionaries are missing?
The words that come up are very few and very different from this video here, for example: youtube watch?v=48RRFvWpsss (cant post links yet LOL)
Is there a way I can install dictionaries or should I just use another keyboard?

still there is no dictionary able in code when every dzo get the code he must put in rom
we need to wait
thanks for dzo great work
