Samsung Clock cab
I made a cab for you guys, enjoy.
I'll update it when I can find the reg setting to remove the scroll from that particular Today Item, I think it'll look beter.
edited - I changed type = 5 which disables the scroll for that Today item.
Thanks for posting edward-riko!

Maybe I don´t get you right.., but you can change from 24 to 12 am/pm hours display in options. To open options you have to keep the touchscreen pressed for a second os so.

Wow, can't believe I missed that!
thanks!

This would be great app for me if the date format would be indicated the long way... "dddd dd.MMMM.yy"... Can it be changed?

Great little application!
Thanks to all.
Cheers

In agree, as I would also like that.
But I am sure that the date format is linked to your Regional settings. - I may be wrong though.
If you look through the threads you can remove the time from the top bar - no use duplicating the time.
Edit 1: I left the battery incicator in the top bar.
Edit 2: I found the HTC Home cab. and have now installed that instead. I now have the clock, weather and launcher installed on Sleuth's ROM. It has slowed a little but works super for my applications. Still faster than JJ's latest.

Long date format - here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides, SLDte = for example, "dddd, dd MMMM yyyy". By Regional Settings change you do with pre-defined list of formats, but that can be changed manually after.
To remove the time from top bar... I'm not sure that make sense: time will be not visible in other apps too, where Today's clock we'll don't have... but - it is here: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell, set ShowTitleBarClock to 0x0 (0); and TBOpt - to 0x0 (0) too (otherwise will be shown the Battery Icon instead).

You guys might want to try the program rlToday, it can do these and more.

Hi,
try the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\nls\overrides\SSDte Key. This key should be already there and if you do changes there it affects the displayed date left of the Samsung Clock - problem is - you don´t have enough space for the long date.

Weather for CHome... Take 2!

Alright. Completely redesigned from the ground up... CHome Weather 2 !
This will install two shortcuts in your Start Menu. A "Weather Update" shortcut, which you can use to update manually, as well as "Weather Options" shortcut.
Steps to take to make this work:
1) Install one of the cabs below. Pick the "Slim" version if you want thinner panels, like in the screenshots.
2) It should ask to reboot ! (turn phone off and on.. etc). If it doesn't... reboot manually!
3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options". Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else. More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information in minutes in option 3. Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. Finally you can turnoff the autoupdate feature with the last option (7).
4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it.
5) The cab should set your homescreen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If it doesn't, you need to do it manually to see the weather plugin. If you top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.
Please let me know what bugs you find.
The first couple of thumbnails show the "Collapsed" state of the plugin, where it shows only the city and the current temp.
If you want your system font to look like the one in the thumbnails (calibri), download the .cab attached, install and reboot.
Revisions:
- Ver 1.7 More bug fixes. Hopefully this is a solid release. Options panel redesigned and touched up.
- Ver 1.6a A few bugs fixes. Removed internet connection checking routine as it obviously doesn't work for everybody. A few cosmetic changes.
- Ver 1.6 Added another homescreen theme as an option, that doesn't use the color topbar icons. Pick "Sliding Panel + Weather!" to use it. Added illi's potrait orientation .cpr file to the regular testui version cab. Added AutoUpdate on/off in the options panel (scroll down to see it). Reboot after changing that option. More bugfixes...
- Ver 1.5b. Bug fixes.
- Ver 1.5. Last update reflects time on Yahoo's servers in both layouts. More options added to options panel.
- Ver 1.04 A few updates. More options. Switch between two layouts. Bug fixes... etc
- Ver 1.03 Celsius bug squashed. Now the country code shows up after the city name for people outside the US.
- Ver 1.02 New logic in update script. Update percentage counter added. Forecast for tomorrow in the bottom line with hi and low values and hi and low values for the current day at the top, after the city name. Yahoo icon pack added, in case you prefer those.
- Ver 1.01. Added last update time as a second line under the current temp. Added dropshadow icons created by KWOODALL! Thanks for the beautiful icons! 5/11 10:52AM
As a side note, the second line display is dependant on the font used on the device, so it might not align properly on some device. Let me know when it doesn't and I'll update the script to work on your device. Or better yet, just download the Calibri font mod cab below and be happy. Thank you.
Link to Yahoo icon pack (install AFTER you install one of the cabs below, if you want the Yahoo icons): Yahoo icon pack
Please use the attached "unlock.cab" to unlock your device if you're getting permission errors trying to install my weather cabs. Thanks.
I am getting an empty variable error after running weather update.

Me too. Weather panel is not included? I don't see a weather panel and Start/Settings/Home Screen settings does not show the "Sliding Panel Media Top Bar + Weather!" homescreen.
same error here
edit. i think i figured out the problem. Mis named two files, he got them flip-flopped. Go to program files/nrg/chomeweather and locate the weather.mscr file. It needs to be renamed SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml and placed in the application data/home folder.//// but b-4 doing that you need to find the SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml already in the application data/home folder and put it somewhere so it doesnt get overwritten. Then after youve moved the first file,relocate the SlidingPanelMediatopbar.home.xml file you relocated and rename it Weather.mscr and place it in program files/nrg/chomeweather . then try the update
update: the vibrate thing when you update the weather is kinda funky. you can take it out of the weather.mscr if you dont like it. Just do your edit via notepad on your pc and replace it into its original directory on your phone that it came from.... also dont forget to soft reset your phone after installing this .cab
message deleted by poster.
It worked on Tornado too
@OrganicM
Just to let you know that it worked on Tornado too
Maybe putting it together with the CClock will be an option.
Thanks.
Yah I like it but for some reason it seems to slow down my phone even when I kill every application I was running. Is there a reason for this?
Working like a charm now

It's odd that *I* would that intentionally isn't it ? LOL Well I didn't, I guess my cab packaging software went haywire. I reuploaded the cab in the first post.
The only bug i see is that it will not initialize a data connection to update the weather info. I already have to have a data connection started b-4 it will update. So i have to open a program like PIE or Opera, get the data connection started, end that application then do the update. kinda of a pain in the butt, but hey my weather slide hasnt gone away yet, so i guees that's good
Alright, this is the kind of feedback I want. I will look into that, as I have an always on data connection on my phone. Thanks.
Same here with the Data Connection, but as soon as I initialized my data connection and went to UPDATE WEATHER, it refreshed my home screen, put it back to the default "Green" color and the Weather panel was gone....? What gives with that?
That's strange. It must be facadehelper.exe misbehaving. What theme and background were you running before ?
All of your stuff Organic! I love your themes, add-ons, all that stuff! This is everything I have installed:
Chome LCD Mod
CHome_ICONPATHS
NRG Battmeter
rinku
NRG Sliding Panel Favorites
But this is where it get's confusing, cause I have switch Slim CHome everytime you put a new one out, so first I had the original "NRG SlimChome" then "NRG Slim Chome 2" and I just installed "NRG SlimChome II No border" now.
With all the confusion of these and not being able to "uninstall" them or whatever, I've been thinking about flashing my ROM and startin' from scratch again, but I don't want to have to do that.

Yeah, jdoggraz you are correct, that why I'm using Ricky's version 14 6.1 ROM, I personally belived version 14 is the best 6.1 ROM for the Excalibur. Now I have 27 slide slots, that includes The PudgeDaddy Weather Fix, plus the weather radar and MSNDirect News, Weather, stock report Entertainment and Sports and lots of other stuff. To The PudgeDaddy, your Weather Fix works like a charm and to NRG thanks for all your hard work.......!

Chome Weather 2.0 - "The fun continues..."

The other thread was getting a little large, plus we have a new version out.
Here's Chome Weather 2.0 with a 10 day forecast. Download the cab and enjoy, more detailed instructions to follow.
1) Install the cab in the link at the bottom of the post.
2) It should ask to reboot ! Press "Ok"
3) Go to your Start Menu and find "Weather Options", or go down to the Settings slide on your homescreen and the second slide will be the CHome Weather options slide.
Set your Zip / Location Code to your zip code if you're in the US or a "location code" if you're anywhere else (ex: ROXX003 for Bucharest). More info on finding your specific code is here http://developer.yahoo.com/weather/#req . Set the "Fahrenheit / Celsius" option to either "F" or "C" (without the quotes!). This will only affect the reading of the current conditions panels, not the text descriptions in the forecast panels. Those will always be in Fahrenheit.
Specify how often you would like to autoupdate the weather information, in minutes in option #3. It's set to 60 by default and I would not recommend seting it any lower, as that's how often Yahoo updates the information on their servers anyway.
Specify whether you would like the application to attempt to connect your default GPRS connection first, before updating. If you have a constant data connection on, leave this on "N". Finally you can turn off the autoupdate feature with the last option #7.
4) Now it might be a good idea to go to Start and find "Update Weather" and run it to update the weather data! Alternatively you can click the center button while you're on any of the forecast panels.
5) The cab should set your Home Screen to "Sliding Panel Top Bar + Weather!" automatically. If your top icons disappear then you might have to use the regular "Sliding Panel + Weather!" theme.
6) Enjoy and report any bugs you might encounter, please.
New features:
- Regular sized icons for the forecast panels, they do not affect other "welcomecenter" based panels.
- Revised layouts to ensure correct wrapping
- HomeScreen update feature. No need to reboot to see forecast or layout changes. This option is turned off by default because it doesn't work for everybody. If you turn it on and you see problems with your phone's radio turning off, phone becoming very slow etc... turn it off. (it's option #10)
- Added new panel to the Settings panel at the bottom for easy access to the weather updates and settings.
- "Spil icons" are default for forecast and regular panels.
Screenshot descriptions:
1- IPhone Layout (this is the default layout)
2- Forecast Panels screenshot
3- Slim Panels Layout with the background options enabled
4- HTC Slim Layout while updating
5- HTC Slim Layout in normal mode
6- The HomeScreen with the weather plugin in its "condensed" state at the bottom, showing current conditions
7- Regular Panel Layouy with no background.
8- IPhone Slim Layout
Download link > http://www.sendspace.com/file/0f8g23
Vox Version > http://www.sendspace.com/file/rxa13k
Look at post #3 to complete the installation for Vox phones. (or any other phones that will not install the regular version)
Current Version: 2.0.3
Changes to 2.0.3:
- completely redesigned Options panel. Hopefully things will be easier to get around. Now it tell you what the current layout used is.
- Fixed HTC Layout (5) text not wrapping down issue.
- Added option NOT to check for internet connection before connecting.
- Options panel keeps track of what layout you're running.
- added blue, purple, WM7 style or original glass panel selection to options panel.
- updated portrait CPRs.
- forecast panels should now display "N/A" icons when a forecast is not available instead of a red x.
- ability to choose between european("rest of the world pretty much...) or american style dates on the forecast panels.

This is the "addons" post.
Added "NRG Power Key..... .cab This will add three options to the menu that comes up when you hit the power key on the side of your Excalibur. "Power off", "Reboot" and "Weather Update". I hope they're self explanatory Have fun.
Download the Calibri font mod if you want your system font to look like the one in the screenshots.
The Yahoo, Spil, Novaweather and 7Degree icon sets are alternative icons sets for your Forecast and Regular and Slim Panel layouts
Also using this post to keep a list of TO DO's since I always forget:
- Better autoupdate logic. *DONE*
(got rid of "weathertimer.mscr" and using the phone's notification queue... will beta test this over the next couple of days)
- Checking whether on a call, when going to update the weather info. If on a call, exit and run 10 minutes after... and so on... *DONE*
- Make option menu that lets the user chose how many pages of forecast info they can see.
- Move PNGs to storage card. Create two separate cab's for installation. Maine program and Icon packs
- Add second or third panel with more "current weather information" details. *IN PROGRESS*
Files needs to complete the VOX installation are attached. Install the Vox cab above, then unzip Vox Windows.zip and drop all the files in it in the \windows directory on your device. Install weathertimer.mscr in \windows\startup.

LOVE IT!!!
Compared it to weather.gov accurate also.
This is KICK ASS

Good Job just one question.. when i go to the weather thing on my home screen i have 1/10 options to scroll thru what do they all represent? theres no dates or anything... can you explain?
Amazing........
Hi Org,
It looks and works great, even my distorted icons are back to normal, a biggggg thanks for all your efforts and your patience with all of us demanding more stuff..........
Whoa...okay. Just disregard this whole post guys. Let this be a lesson to you--work with your program for at least 15-20 minutes before reporting bugs. I feel ridiculous for not dabbling with this before crying wolf! My bad, Org!

You can edit the size of the icons in the .cpr files. Look in program files\NRG\chomeweather\cprs and edit the cpr that you are using(they're all in there). Doesn't make sense that clinks is oversized and weather is smaller, if that is case, can you upload copy of your current cpr that you are using(in windows\home.cpr.xml I think)? I would like to see something before you edit it. And after you edit, goto weather options and rechoose your layout to activate new cpr.
yea... umm.... not sayin its a bad thing, but my color icon bar at the top went back to black and white, and it wont show saturday and sunday, then skips from tuesday to saturday of next week... maybe i did something wrong?? but i could see the setup option text either... all in all i like it
turned the autoupdate off... maybe im just havin problems with it... im usin ricky's 23rd rom. im about ready to take this weather off cause i like the whole forcast thing, but not when it jumps from tuesday to saturday...
1) the last day is still on the second tab on the panel.
2) the text is still cutoff

Before reflashing, try to install the weather .cab again. I had this problem with an older version and I just downloaded another over it--and SOMEHOW it uninstalled the whole thing! Try other methods before reflashing. It can be a headache to get your settings the way you like them again.
so let me get this straight.. just run the cab file again? and everything should go peachy?

S2U2 by A_C, customized to work with our smartphones

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

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

Ahhh .. i see....thats not too hard....but what about the weather icon...can that be done as well or just the actual weather temp?
The weather icon gets updated to the current conditions, of course. The string below it can be whatever you want it to be

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

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

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

Remove Call history and/or Calender from home screen?

Hey guys,
I'm trying to make my home screen as "clean" as possible, and I'm wondering if there is a way to remove Call history and/or Calender beneath the clock?
Cheers
I'm searching for this for a while too. I still didn't find anything yet. Hope someone can help us
This could be handy
Elvelynn posted a fix like this for the Diamond.

@Chef Ben
Ok, at the weekend I made a cab for me so I can install the "clean hometab" at my german diamond in one step, it also ereases the dotted line and the arrwos. So before you install my custom cab, you have to uninstall the single cab first.
(Note: with this cab you will also get a transparent clock background)

Elvelynns first post about editing the home screen is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2861270&postcount=590
In the file '7e640092_manila' (xml language file) you can edit/delete the text for the different entries on the hometab. Just open this file with a normal editor and edit/delete the entries (for example Date, text for "blank" callhistory- or calendar-row, not active alarm, ...).
Only the next entry in the calendar-row and the display of an active alarm cannot be changed with this methode.
You also have to know, that this mod only changes the visual appearance and not the "function" of the row, for example if you tab on the now blanked callhistory-row you will still get to the callhistory.

However, I don't know if it's compatible with Blackstone.
ok i've tried it,
all that happens is it removes the dotted lines....
if i get time i'll look at the 7e640092_manila

6Fg8,
In new manila in the Communications tab ----> 'Wi-Fi', it gives you the available networks.
Do you happen to know the file that gives you the highlight icon when you press the network you want to connect to?
(I altered some manila files to change the theme and now when I press at the desired network it highlite part or the name
Thanks in advance

Sorry, i dont know the filename for that. But to me it looks more like a problem with the sizes of the images you replaced. Did you keep the exact heights and widths of the graphics?

you didnt change image transparency, did you? Could be a reason too. Or a wrong mode9 file.

No, I didn't. But I'm not sure about the files I borrowed from the theme from Diamond thread.
I'm looking on them right now.
Thank you for your replies.
How to change weather update intervals?
I didn't find anything about, I'm still searching...
I have another question regarding weather update intervals, this time.
Does anyone knows which manila files to edit, so we can change the update intervals when we have selected 'Download weather automatically' in weather tab (e.g. make it update every 4 hours)?
