Edit the HTC sense weather location database.
For editing sense 1.0 weather databases, use the method immediately below. Information for editing sense 2.X and above is shown in the section marked “New directions for editing the weather database in sense 2.X” below .
After much searching with no results I finally came up with a way to add locations to the HTC Sense weather database. If this has been posted before sorry for the redundant post but I could not find this anywhere and thought it might help some people. The file to edit is located in the phone at /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files/WP_0409WWE.db. To get the file you need to be rooted and have Root Explorer from the market or QtADB (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=972758) which make moving the file from the phone to the PC and back very easy.
1. With Root Explorer, copy the WP_0409WWE.db file to the Sdcard and then copy it to your computer for editing. I use QtADB to move files. Just plug the phone in and leave it on charge only. QtADB will bring up a phone and PC directory side by side and you can migrate to the file and drag it to a directory on the computer.
2. To edit the database, you can use a free SQLite Database Browser found at http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlitebrowser/. Open the WP_0409WWE.db file in the editor and then click on the Browse Data tab. In the Table drop down list, choose locationlist. At the bottom of the page, click the forward arrow until you reach the end of the file, then scroll to the bottom of the list. Now add your own city using the format as shown in the table. To do that, click ‘new record’ at the upper right and a new line will appear at the bottom of the list. To edit the database cells with SQLite editor, double click on a cell and an editing window will pop up. Click in the window, input your info, and click ‘apply changes’ at the bottom of the window.
3. Since the file uses Accuweather, you’ll want to make sure that Accuweather has data for your city. Just go to the Accuweather.com website and put your city in the search. If Accuweather doesn’t find your city, then find the city that is closest to your location.
4. Once you are satisfied with your edits, save the file and replace the file in your phone with your new file. This is where QtADB makes copying files easy. Just drag and drop from one window to another and you’re done. Reboot your phone and enjoy your new locations.
New directions for editing the weather database in sense 2.x roms.
Have been using the new sense 2.x roms and have found that the SQLite Browser in the above directions will not edit the new weather database. The easiest way I have found for the new database format is with the SQLite editor by Speed Software form the market as suggested by Polar67 in post number 11. This is a purchase app so it requires a little cash outlay. Here are Polar67's directions with a slight modification of using SQLite editor rather than Root Explorer to locate the database. Please thank Ploar67 for this method.
1: Navigate to /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files
2: Backup original databases to secure location.
3: Open SQLite editor and it will display a list of databases with Weather Provider (com.htc.provider.weather) at the bottom.
4: Tap on Weather Provider and open the WP_0409WWE.db file.
5: Find location near what i want to add & clone.
6: Edit clone to fit my new location.
7: Save -> Reboot -> Done.
Another method starts the same as the sense 1.0 version, but uses the free SQLite editor, SQLite Expert Personal http://www.sqliteexpert.com/SQLiteExpertPersSetup.exe.
1. With SQLite Expert open the WP_0409WWE.db. The database will be listed in the left pane. Open locationlist and find a location close to what you need. Double click anywhere in the row and it will bring up the record for editing.
2. Copy the location code, then close the window. Click on the plus icon in the row above the data list to add a new record. Paste the weather location you copied into the code field. At this point, you can either go back and forth copying and pasting or just fill in the fields manually. When pasting the location code IE: NAM|US|WA|EAST OLYMPIA, you can just edit the state and city to the location you want as in NAM|US|WA|OAK HARBOR to NAM|US|FL|KEY WEST.
3. If you want to check that your location will bring back weather, try your location in Accuweather.com first.
4. When you are done close the database and copy it to your phone. Reboot and fill your widget with your custom locations.
As a side note the citied listed on the weather widget are located in the /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/databases/weather.db. When you have them the way you want copy that and WP_0409WWE.db to a safe location on your SD Card. When you load a new ROM, copy them to their respective locations, and your weather is set.
For the cooks in the audience, the database is located in the system/etc/WPDB.zip file. It is a multi language file and you can safely remove the languages you don't need.
The database location for ICS and Jellybean has changed to system/app/WeatherProvider.apk.
If this has helped you clicking the thanks button is appreciated.
Thanks dude, I will try this out. The city where I live in (small burb of H-town) is not in HTC db and this may come handy!
Glad you find this useful. Hopefully I got all the directions down if not just ask. When I get enough posts I'll try to add the download links.
I think it will be interesting to start a project about creating a huge list of cities of the world. Otherwise, it is possible to create several list for each country or continent because of the huge number of cities available in the world
Re: Weather location database
Hi!
Thanks a bundle. Tried your suggested approach.
Don´t know if this is an issue with all devices running anything else than english.
For the sake of detail i probably should mention that my device is a Desire HD.
However both are Android devices & since the guide originated here i´ll put this post here instead of starting a similar thread on the same topic elsewhere.
Anyway: As you can see on the attached screen dump I found 2 databases. BlablaWWE.db & a language specific version. I tried editing the WWE-base only but that resulted in a force closure of the weather App.
I had to edit both databases to match in order to acheive the desired result.

Can this be done on hero?

Hi Polar
Thanks for the find about editing the other language file. My rom is english only so I didn't see the othe laguage files. I would like to add you findings to the first post if you don't mind.
Did you use the programs for moving and editing the files from the first post or did you use something else that would make the proccess easier? It would be nice to have this as staight forword as possible.

If you are using a sense rom backup your data file and give it a try.

A datadase of all locations would be handy but rather large. If it were broken down into each counrty or even states it might be easier to handle. If anyone would like to take this on that would be great.
Hotrod
If you're not seeing your city's code but rather something like this accuweather.com/.../quick-look.aspx in the browser bar you can use accuweather.com/rss-center.asp instead.
Sorry for the broken link but I'm not permitted to post links as a newbie and I had to find a way around. ;-)

Hotrod you are more than welcome to make any changes to the guide as you see fit.
Regarding the modus operandi i ended up using:
1: Navigate to /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files
2: Backup original databases to secure location.
3: Open any and all databases subsequently directly from Root Explorer into SQlite editor
4: Find location near what i want to add & clone.
5: Edit clone to fit my new location.
6: Save -> Reboot -> Done.
Afterwards sqlite_sequence will now read one entry higher than before.
In the case of a foreign languaged rom i´ll hazard a guess that it´s probably necessary to keep the same entry ID´s across both bases i.e. for example Nanortalik being ID# 3631 in both bases. I can´t be sure but if HTC weather App uses ID numbers for anything at all we´ll most likely get a botched result if ID´s vary across bases.
The attached screen dump shows my result.
I pretty much only did things this way because i had the "ingredients" ready at hand, that is Root Explorer & SQlite editor from the market. I dont´t think it´s any easier, but it can be done "on the fly" without a computer.

Polar67,
Just tired your method for editing the database and found it is very easy and no computer needed. Found I could use SQlite editor from the market and let it find databases then scroll down to Weather Provider listing, select that, open the WP_0409WWE.db file, select location list and edit as usual. As you say, if you have a different language file edit it also. Save, reboot and select your new locations in the weather panel.
Thanks for the suggestion, didn't think of that method.

Where are the information ?? HTC HD2 - Imilka Ram Desire HD Rooted
Dear Hotrod68,
This thread is really a savior, but something is causing me some confusion,
My HTC Weather Widget shows only Egypt !!! and never shows Cairo?!!
I have an HTC HD2 with the following ROM installed,
imilka's RAM Desire HD v1.0 (Rooted)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=954369
I have followed the all steps, you mentioned on first post, except for the copying files program, I'm planning to use the conventional method.
Copied the WP_0409WWE.db file to my computer,
Opened it by SQLite
To my surprise, my country and even my city were listed on the db ??!!
That's Cairo, Egypt. please refer to image below.
How to proceed? What to do?
One more strange and weired thing,
On the image below you'll notice that my location is shown precisely, to district level, on News & Weather Widget (By The Weather Channel) ???!!!
this is Heliopolis.
On AccuWeather web page I couldn't find the information to fill in the cells?
Help, advice will be very appreciated.

Hi Ahmed,
SOrry you're having trouble. Could you upload your WP_0409WWE.db file. It looks different than mine and I'd like to see why. It looks like you are using English on your phone. If not Polar67 found there should be a language specific file in the same location as the WP_0409WWE.db file that needs to be modified If it is there could you upload that file also.
Accuweather has a listing for your location, AFR|EG|EG011|Heliopolis, if you want to try putting that into your database. To show your location name put Heliopolis in the cell to the left of Egypt in the database.
Hope this helps, Jon

Hi there Hotrod,
Find attached the WP_0409WWE.db file on my phone,
And no, there is no other local version on the same directory.
I really appreciate your response, and will be looking forward to having your feedback regarding the db file attached.
Thanx a million dear friend.
Note: To open the file, rename it to (.db) extension.
I had to change the extension to comply with xda file types
I use a Sprint Evo in Dallas, Texas and have had Cairo, Egypt in my weather list for several months, and it works. (I had wanted to take a tour to see the pyramids, but I won't do it now!)
My database is also English (WP_0409WWE.db), and my Cairo entry looks exactly like yours, it is even entry #78 like yours. Maybe you should just restore the original database to see if it works.
Does "My Location" t work in Egypt to see where the phone thinks it is?
Ahmed,
I've added Heliopolis to the database. See if this works for you.

Dear Jim,
Thank you for your reply,
You're surely welcome to Egypt and we'll be happy to have you
I have downloaded AccuWeather.com application from the Market.
Check image below, and you'll find that the application has determined my location upto district accuracy (That's Madinat an Nasr (Nasr City), Home now)
On my previous post, the Weather Channel Widget has, also, been able to determine my location upto district accuracy (That was Heliopolis, Work)
Weired that the HTC Weather-Clock widget doesn't show but EGYPT.
I can add Cairo, as a city,
But the widget still gives Egypt whenever I choose "Current Location"
I have added both "Heliopolis" and "Madinat an Nasr" to the database,
Now I can choose them like cities, but they never show up if I choose "Current Location"
So,the phone knows where it is !!! But the HTC Weather Widget knows only the country !!!!!!!!!
Pictures attached shows weather widgets (AccuWeather + TheWeatherChannel)
These two, show correct location and temperature !!!!!!!!!
I'd die to have HTC weather widget showing my precise location.
EDIT:
Thank you HotRod, never worked
That sounds like more of a GPS problem. I'm pretty sure that's how the phone knows where it is.
Do any other location apps work, like Google maps, other weather or navigation programs work?

I thought I'd start a thread for anyone else out there like me who thinks that rhov23's Itask application is fantastic but has yet to figure out all of his/her device's configuration. If we all collaberate, we can probably limit the repetetive questions rhov23 gets so that he can continue to focus on advancing Itask even further.
Anyway, I'll keep this updated with the latest answers and fixes. Post your own configuration questions and hopefully someone else has already found the answer and can help you out. It is also worth noting that it is usually necessary to restart iTask after making changes or modifications. Below is my modified input.txt file and descriptions of the changes I've made thus far. There is still a ton of work left to do:

For example, &appsexec4=\windows\wmplayer.exe&END refers to my windows media player. If you either look through the folders of your device from your computer or look through your file explorer on your device you can find the path to just about every program and link it correctly to the proper button. So, you insert the proper path aft this part, &appsexec4=

You need to copy the input.txt file from the iTask folder on your phone and paste that copy somewhere on your computer to begin modifying.

The first set starting with \itask work for me. The only one that doesn't is the link to backlight setting. The ones that work for you from the \windows\start%20menu don't work at all. Thanks for your input though.

Are you able to update the weather and news without being connected via active sync?
okay who here has itask completely working i have questions for them
rde first of all do you have an instant messanger name so you could help me figure this out quicker?
if not here are my issues i downloaded itask the other day and only a few programs worked the rest were screen shots how do i change it so it goes directly to the program?
i tried changing some things in input and saved but no changes occured
Some Help
This is a great application, which once you get used to is straight forward, if a little time consuming to set up. Half the fun for me is working out things that I don't really understand. I have the original input text file open alongside the one that I'm configuring. You just have to find the section in the input text relating to the icon your trying to link, and after the = add the path for the application you want that icon to open. The path can be found in Explorer (or better still Resco Explorer) on your device. Most applications are found in Windows, Start Menu, Programs. This is what you type into the input text file in itask, remembering a space has to be replaced by %20 and that the text has to be exactly the same as on your device.
So, if you want to assign a program (say File Explorer) on your device to the first icon on the Apps page of itask (ie when you launch itask, click the 3rd icon along which says Apps, the first button is in the top left of the new screen and has a smiley face on it) alter the text in the input.txt file of itask after &appstext1="\Windows\Start%20Menu\Programs\File%20Explorer.Ink&END" Don't use the " " I've included them to show what you should type. When you close input.txt and restart itask, the smiley face button in Apps will open File Explorer. And so on until you've linked an icon to each program you want to open.

The "another top" program you see is nothing but a screenshot, you can replace it by changing *loadpic*.jpg to any other picture you want, or if you want your application to open immediately, change your *loadtime configuration in input.txt to 0.
Weather broken on Today after update to WM6.1. CANNOT overwrite WeatherCities.xml!
Yay, I have GPS, Rev A, and for me the machine is noticeably faster.
Problem is the flash trashed my HH_0409_WeatherCities.xml. I know my AccuWeather International API code is correct as it previously worked and I can currently use the link via my browser.
I see tons of posts, here mostly, where the solution given is "add a line to the XML file."
I try that and it barks about access violation (Read Only). If I try to modify its attributes it reverts by the time the folder refreshes.
So, anyone, seriously, is there a definitive answer to whether or not it can be edited *easily* or is N2A's still the wisest choice?
Thanks!

I had the same problem. Using Total commander I was able to overwrite the file, and also found another file identical to it under mydevice/htchome. I wrote over both and all is back working with me.

After the flash to WM6.1 (the "official" ROM) I do not have an "HTC Home" or anything similarly named at all.
In WM6 I could upgrade the Home plugin to 2.1 and I could update both XML files.
There is only one XML file now in the entire device and it allows you to overwrite it at the cost of it saying "this could damage your ROM" and so forth. However, it will let you overwrite it and it merely adds entries to the "database."
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\HTCHome\Weather\Settings' "LocationCode" key is updated upon your selection in the weather options.
I have manually modified this key and can input cities that DO work (use "Location" to call it whatever I like) and see the update. Currently my weather tab reads:
"45m/N of This Sh**** Weather"
45 miles North of this... well, you get the idea.
The Region/Country/State/City code is valid. I can click the link at the AccuWeather site and get the weather for my city. I have verified that the Weather plugin is working for other cities.
Did AccuWeather change the URL that serves smaller cities?
I guess I should ask someone if they can teach me how to take the newest HTCHome.dll and cook it into one that has my city by default. Or the customized URL and/or data that will get my city displayed again.
Sorry for the ramble/rant.

I'm not sure whats going on, but I did have to have a new htchome for my updated rom. Check this out
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=25019&highlight=new+rom+tabs+problem
Post #13.
I installed this and HHC Home customizer,
added new lines to the .xml file,
Once I had the files the way I wanted I put the file in the root of my storage card and used total commander to move the weather.xml file to windows.
It asked if I wanted to overwrite and I chose yes, worked like a charm. I have to use HHC Customizer custom weather for the weather hack to work, but all is going well so far. Hope this helps.
Hi,
This is my first post and hopefully it may be helpful.
I have created a nice solution in order to run both UpToDate and Internet Explorer 6.
This solution was originally posted in this thread, but as long as this may not be visible, I have started a new thread
What you will NOT need
1) You will not need Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab
2) You will not need to cook your own rom
What you will need
1) Fix IE.cab
2) The files, which are attached at the end of this post.
Instructions
There are 2 different versions.
Version 1 - Best - If you use MortScript
1) Use the two .mscr files.
2) Each of those files contains a registry modification and after that it executes Uptodate or IE respectively.
Be careful: If you installed UpToDate in a different location than the default you should manually open and edit the file UpToDate.mscr and replace "\Program Files\UpToDate" with your installation pathway. (You can use Notepad to open the file)
3) You can use these files to launch the applications instead of the default shortcuts.
2nd version - If you do not use Mortscript
1) Use the 2 reg files
2) Before opening each application, run the corresponding .reg script
3) Files are universal independent on your installation location. Therefore no change is required.
I hope you enjoy.
Step2p
I can only launch it trhough mortscript then, not the default shorcuts right? or am I missing something?
@doctorcete
You should build new shortcuts pointing to mscr files.
If you want to have also the correct image on those shortcuts, you can download the file attached.
UpToDate shortcut will only work if it is installed in the default location (/Program Files/UpToDate)
If you have another installation location, you should manually edit the shortcut and fix it accordingly.
EDIT: If you want to use these shortcuts place the mscr files in folder "/Program Files"
Step2p
I don't want to hijack this thread, but has anyone been able to find a hack to increase font size within UpToDate?
good work step2p, it works alright with the shortcuts, congrats!, im very happy uptodate is finally getting some attention (after 6 or 7 months since the problem was discovered). Thank you!....
Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab
Dear All,
I still prefer to use Fix UpToDate by doctorcete.cab. I don't like IE6 any way. The simple solution is to run Fix UpToDate.cab. You can set Opera as you non-default browser, and Opera still works fine.
so what does this do? use PIE as the manilla internet browser???
what i imagined it would do is make PIE better with zoom, so might be able to zoom a bit better and it might be a bit faster? can anyone explain to me please?
Thanks
UpToDate is an Electronic Medical Database for Medical Drs
If your are not a Medical Dr. You don't need to read this thread
good job... it works nice.
Good evening to all,
I know this is not the appropriate thread to post this but i do hope to get some help
I have installed a trial 17.2 on my pc.does anyone knows which file is held responsible for expiring the trial version in the registry?
cheers
V
how can i check the version of IE?
Don´t mind the version of IE. If UpToDate works out of the box (without any hacks) then you do not need this. If it doesnt work. Follow the steps as described above on the first post, Then it will work.
great work guys. any way to have finger scrolling work?
Hey,
Just wanted to say that UpToDate works perfectly without needing any fixes if you access it through a proxy connected to your medical school, assuming that's an available option. It doesn't work using opera but does with IE, including zooming, etc.
well that's if you use an internet connection be it a data connection or wifi. this discussion is about uptodate completely on the phone (flash card) requiring no internet. thanks though

Oh, I assumed it still connected to the internet to access some kind of database. So this program alone contains ALL of the information that's available online!?? That's pretty amazing if it does, especially if it updates with new articles. I'll have to look into this now...
Yeah, it's huge >2GB. If you subscribe, there should be an option for them to deliver a DVD to you for you to use with your Palm/Windows Mobile device. UpToDate updates periodically, currently it's version 17.2. Articles are not updated on a rolling basis, but rather in increments corresponding to new versions. The flash card version actually does not update automatically. So whatever version you initially received, it'll remain that version with the same articles. The only way to update articles is to get the new version. Fortunately, the updates do not occur that often and medicine doesn't change drastically between versions.

many many thanks to all of you
thank you doctorcete ur fixes worked on omnia
and after applying the fixes I've downlaod this file
XDA WM 6.1 P.I.E for WM6.cab
now uptodate17.1 works and I.E 6.1 works
Ok, I haven't gotten this to work. I'm not quite sure what to do with the files. I'm using a Sprint Touch Pro. I placed both files in Programs/Mortscript. I can get everything up, but when i go into the drugs and press headings, it freezes. Any advices?
Hello,
I am trying to add a user defined city to the HTC weather widget app on the HTC Incredible. I know that it gives you weather for your current locations, but i would like to know what the weather is at my father's house (Mathews VA) which is 300 miles away. The closest city in the default list is newport news, or richmond, which just isn't right. Or for another example, the closest city on the default list to christiansburg is not even Roanoke VA, it's probably Richmond. Anyways, you can see how the ability to add cities to the database would be beneficial.
As a reference, my previous phone was the Touch pro 2 and i used JVH3 weather editor http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=546141 and/or methods like this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=523698&highlight=weather+city+editor to add cities that are not in the default HTC database (this worked on the windows mobile TP2 - but obviously not on android). I cannot seem to find a way to do this on the HTC incredible (or on any other android phone for that matter). If anyone has come across this problem and found a solution, i would really appreciate it.
Thanks for your help
I second that request
I also had a TP2 and still do, but on my DINC would love to know the weather at the house 500 miles away. When I am there (Tuscumbia alabama) it shows up but I can not find a way to save the location, and it is not in the list either.
Adding cities to DB does not work
I was able to locate the database of cities and add new entries. However, when the new entries where selected in the widget, AccuWeather refused to return data for the new entries. It appears that HTC may be using an interface to AccuWeather that tells them it is coming from a phone and AccuWeather will only respond to approved cities. My new entries were identical to existing entries and I was able to select the new cities but they would not work. Thus my conclusion that there is an issue with the interface to AccuWeather. For anyone wanting to try some more, the db is located at: /data/data/com.htc.provider.weather/files/WP_0409WWE.db The file is in SQLLite format

Thank you for this tip.
It’s working just fine! I used the SQLite Administrator 0.8.3.2 (PC)
The biggest challenge I had was to copy the WP_0409WWE.db to my PC.
With the help of Root Explorer it finally worked.
After editing the WP_0409WWE.db with my locations, The location codes I get from the AccuWeather gadget for Vista/Windows 7, I’ve copied it back to my Android phone, Rebooted it and everything is working fine!
Now we need a on phone app to be able to edit these just like the WM devices have.

Hmm, I wonder what you did differently? Could you post an example or two of the entries you made that worked?

Here you are
I am very interested in doing this because my town cannot be searched for in the widget, it only pops up if I am in the exact right spot. I have downloaded root explorer and the sq editor and located the WP files. I assume I need to open the Accuweather program on my pc. What do I need to do next? How do I enter the code for my town on the phone so I can actually search for it?
Anybody? Just need to know what I'm looking for
So, just edit "WP_0409WWE.db" - and all will be ok? I have same problem - my city isn't in list.
One question - is it possible to create an app to edit "WP_0409WWE.db" on the phone that doesn't have root?
I don't want to root my phone. By now.
No, you need root access to edit the file.
two months now and we don't have any news about the editor for default weather widget. Does someone know if there is a project which deal with this issue. I am not rooted and I want to add new cities in the default weather and until now I cannot do it except if I root my device.
Any news?
thanks in advance

There's nothing we can do about this. You need to root in order to change the cities. It's a hard requirement.
I was able to add cities into the weather database. It's quite simple. I followed the instructions in this post. Thanks to all who contributed to this post.
This is a very simple application that enables you to specify any kind of Uri to launch. This is done through creating a Toast notification that, when clicked on, will execute the specified Uri. This uses a native method outside of the regular SDK; the standard methods available in the SDK that you'd normally use to create a Toast notification are restrictive in what kind of Uri you can specify. By using the native method not part of the SDK, these limitations can be by-passed.
I've attached both the XAP and the source code. The source project contains three projects:
CShellChromeAPI: The C++/CLI project which calls the native un-documented method
NativeToastLauncher: The .NET wrapper which simplifies the interaction with the C++/CLI project
NativeToastLauncherApp: The test application used to quickly launch any Uri
You'll notice I've hard-coded a default Uri when you launch the application: this will open the Windows Phone 8 "About" page.
To run this, you'll need to side load the XAP which requires a dev unlocked device...
Can I use any system GUID to launch?

Any registered app GUID yes. You'd do app://GUID/_default (or replace the _default with the particular task to run - in most cases, that's _default).
@cpuguy this is awesome, thanks!
If you guys are looking for GUIDS and default tasks, they are all in the app's WMAppMAnifest.xml. the "ProductID" is the GUID and the "DefaultTask Name" property contains the name of the default task.
Hopefully we can use this to find a program to exploit.

Does anyone happen to have a list of the ID's for the system and settings apps? Obviously, I can't go into the code and get these without messing with the file system. If no one has them, then I can just trial/error until I get some...
If you download the registry hives located at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2393883 , you can load the Software hvie and search for "app://" That will give you a few system files you can launch.
EDIT:
I posted a zip file of the default ones in a new thread.
IF anyone has tethering blocked, see if you can get it to work by launching this URI app://5B04B775-356B-4AA0-AAF8-6491FFEA5629/Default

yea, I saw the new thread. Hopefully somebody can find a exploit in all that. It executes some cool files. Too bad there wasn't a cmd.exe file on our phones that we can execute.

actually..there is! but it's stuck in a WIM. It inflates it on an "as-needed" basis.
I am hoping that we can use the backgroundworker to run some stuff elevated

But they all are pretty much isolated. It is unlikely that you will be able to run anything elevated

Not only is there a CMD.exe, but there are other interesting things like a BSOD screen, Control Panel, registry keys referencing desktop (A future exploit I might attempt), and even native EXEs (We knew about native EXEs since WPs release).
Why does this launcher not work with "normal" toasts: {YOUR-APP-GUID} and "/Page1.xaml"? Only with empty GUID and full path.
Similarly, any chance this could be used to open arbitrary XAML pages, rather than just the ones defined in the app manifest? For example, something like what was posted in another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=45265419&postcount=56) using the following URI: app://5edbdbbc-2ab2-df11-8a2f-00237de2db9e/_default#/View/APNSettingPage.xaml to launch a hidden page in the Connection Setup app. I don't know if that's a weird behavior of CS or if its universally possible (and while it feels lazy to ask, I'm at work right now). There are a bunch of "hidden" pages in the ATIV S Diagnosis app, some of which would be very useful, but the navigation code for them is blocked or outright missing. If we could invoke those directly... There are probably a bunch of other such hidden gems in other OEM apps too.
Yes you can. The way I found the one in the HTC app was by loading the dlls in JetBrain's dotPeek. Then I looked for the xaml files. It is all a relative URI based on what dotPeek/the app "sees". The only thing the manifest states is where the default entry point is for the page. Basically I looked in the manifest file for how it calls the "default" page. and then replace it with the relative URI for the other page you want.
If you guys want, I can write up a simple tutorial. I just have an HTC 8x, so my hands are tied. If someone can figure out how to deflate an nbh file so I can browse it, that'd be fantastic! I found a "dead" 521 on eBay that I am thinking of picking up for research since there are way more tools for Nokia.

That's correct. I have been navigating to various - normally unreachable - XAML pages in quite a few of the Nokia apps. I gave an example of that in a different thread:
Code:
app://[COLOR="Navy"][B]2377fe1b-c10f-47da-92f3-fc517345a3c0[/B][/COLOR]/[COLOR="Orange"][B]_default[/B][/COLOR]#/[COLOR="Green"][B]Launcher[/B][/COLOR];component/[COLOR="DarkRed"][B]MainPage.xaml[/B][/COLOR]
In this example, I launch the Nokia extras+info app (2377fe1b-c10f-47da-92f3-fc517345a3c0) with the default entry point (_default) which, as @compu829 stated, can found in the app's manifest. Following that, you can add "#/" (not sure if either the hash-tag or slash can be taken out or both are required to work but I know with both, it does work) to the URI to specify a particular XAML file you'd like to open. Following the "#/", you get to specify the assembly (i.e. the .DLL in the XAP file) in which the XAML file is located (Launcher). And finally, you add ";component/" followed by the full path to the XAML as defined in the embedded resource file (MainPage.xaml).

I presume your reference to the "empty GUID" is for the first parameter of my static Launcher.LaunchToast method? That first parameter is, as far as I can see, ignored for the actual toast launch. If I'd have the signature of the "Shell_PostMessageToast" method, I could perhaps understand what it does but, without it, I just knew it wanted a GUID (passed to it as a string) and that that GUID could be an empty one. I reversed engineered the signature from that native method (found in ShellChromeAPI.dll) by taking a look at another native assembly calling it. Naturally, this only tells shows me how that method is being called but doesn't return the name of the parameters. If I remember correctly, the assembly calling that method was passing its own application GUID... I could have done the same but, I didn't see what use it had so I decided to keep passing it an empty GUID.
The format of the toast is different most likely because that's the raw toast launching method. The other format you're used to is the more developer friendly one that's sanitized prior to launching it (so you can't launch another app directly).
Success!
