is there a way to make one of the panels in the sliding panels of wm6.1 display the weather
no.... and no.
The Weather On A Sliding Panel OH! YES! YES!
Good question, whatsoever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve, dream it in the mind then bring it into yet to be technology. That's exactly what "xfaith" has done already, check his thread out "Mini Weather (English Weather Beta) WM6.1, also be sure to check out the screen shots of the "Mini Weather" on a sliding panel. Go here to his thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389027. He has the software that you need (mini weather 1.1 English version.zip. You can get more weather software here at http://rotlaus-software.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=270..........!:D

Hmm...interesting. I think I'll check out this "mini weather" you're rapping about.
Interesting indeed... although not a very elegant solution Maybe we can use the other app that writes info to the registry and then read that info into a "welcome center" style panel that we can place anywhere. I guess the problem with that is, it wouldn't update very often... :/
Checked it out, works quite well for Memphis, TN, where I live. Haven't figured out how you could auto update in a useful way. Other than that and getting the cool icon panel interface, this looks promising.

That whole making a welcome center style panel idea is a pretty good one...
It is, because it's pretty flexible... We can have PNGs (weather icons) as well as text that can place anywhere on the panel. But some of us know, the text won't update unless the homescreen is reloaded. Maybe I can write an app that will write the weather values in the security and software/chome sections of the registry as weather gets updated... Hmm...
i copied the files inside of the zip file to my phne and ran the program when i choose update now it tells me "read configuration file fail!" help!!!
You have to open your Config file in notepad, change where it says Paris, change that to your city. Next copy it to your mini weather folder.
Also where it says: "CityStartStr="
Make it say: "CityStartStr=postal_code data="
Now, do that for every line in the notepad file that says CityStartStr=.
Once you finish save and copy/paste to the appropriate directory and viola, your'e all done. You should read the readme file you got in the zip of this. It tells you how to update automatically, as often as you want. HOLLA!
does this work with the 5.99 internet hack?

I got the rafer weather to update reg values in a welcome center panel but to see the update you have to reload the homescreen. Does anyone know a command or someway to reload homescreen without selecting new home from settings panel? I know that facade has a command for this but what is it? Also, I wrote a mortscript for updating and called it from SK2URL.
that's the problem i've predicted. the only panels that update in real time that i can think of are: cclock, messagecenter, notifications and of course the appointments panel. hmm... any ideas....?
New Idea: CTestUIPlugin
I was playing with it and if you change the registry value for update in CTestPlugin, it auto updates the CTestPlugin panel on the homescreen with any new values including icons added in image registry. I think it could be possible to use this panel for weather(possible that is why it was being tested?). ! haven't tried adding pages yet.
Reaaaaaaaaalllly !?! Wow.. I gotta check that out. I always that it behaved like ht welcomecenter sytle panels. Hmmm

Got a path to that? I would REALLY love to get weather working in a 'notifications'-style panel. With the current conditions and a tiny icon when unselected, day-by-day on the pages when it has focus.
BTW, what writes the weather to the registry? Is there a way to make a pass-through the registry to a xml file, or some other output of an existing weather app? It would give a nice UI for config, detail-view, and something for the button to trigger.
Weather In A Sliding Panel
I have MSNDirect weather in one of my 26 slides and I have the national weather radar in another panel in real time. I believe this is enough weather data for me. Naw, oh I almost forgot that I have another app that connect me to the weather channel. I'm a weather freak always try to track the perfect storm...........!
I think it's possible with SPB weather. It writes its weather info to the registry. then it would be a matter of someone (maybe myself) writing a small to copy the registry entries from SPB, over to our TestUIPLugin

Just create the paths in the two places in the registry, you know how to do it already. The PudgeDaddy is the man you want to see for the weather radar.............! As a matter of fact, I have 6 of your slides and 20 of Ricky's slides on my test device, the 6 with the TCPMP player is yours, now that one is slick.........! Now with Ricky's 6.1 ROM, I have v14 and v20 on my devices, because I believe with these versions you can be very creative, some of his other versions restrict you from being creative.....!
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.

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.......!

For Feather Weather 2, click HERE
Portrait Version Now Available!
The smallest weather app available has just gone on a diet, it started at 950kb and now comes in at a lightweight sub 850 kb. Its been slimmed down in size but not in weather data available. The new TotalClock cab has the full five day and current conditions within the clock panel itself. Check out the screenshots below, you only see one day at a time for a nice clean look. Hit the right soft key to advance thru the days and when you done, it has a timer to reset itself to current conditions after 60 seconds of non-flipping of the forecast pages.
For those who would rather have it seperate, the original version still uses a seperate forecast panel along with current conditions only in the clock panel. But even though it hasn't changed, I have managed to squeeze another 100 kb off of it.
On the original version clock panel you get info for current: temperature, icon, real feel temp, winds, humidity, visibility, barometer, uv level, cloud cover, precipitation, sunrise, sunset, air quality levels, and dewpoint. Also, on the clock panel you get tomorrow's forecast: conditions, hi/lo temperatures, real feel high temps, winds, and estimated precipitation.
On condensed clock panel, there is current temp, current condition icon, time, and todays Hi/Lo temperatures. So if you dock your clock, you will always have weather and time showing on homescreen.
And for a full forecast, there is a 5 day forecast panel that can be enabled or disabled. The forecast pages have info for: day, date, conditions, hi/lo temperatures, precipitation estimates, uv levels, and winds expected.
Both have a user set time interval for the updates depending on your needs, wants, or data plans. Just go to setup and specify the interval in minutes. The default is 30 minutes. The forecast data updates every 8th time weather update runs, that way you get updated forecast info every 4 hrs if you use the default for current condition updates.
To install: For now, install to main memory, I'm working on either or version.
Download the cab. After installation, it should prompt you to restart. If it doesn't, then restart your phone to set new clock panel in place. After reboot, wait about 10 seconds and the FeatherOptions will run automatically. Go to Setup and set all of your info, good idea to go ahead and set your right soft key on the clock panel at this time. After setup, exit options by selecting "Run Weather Update and Exit".
That's it, your done.
NOTE: I beleive I worked out my problem with mortscript registering itself, but if it doesn't auto start the options after 10 seconds, then go to FeatherWeather folder in Program Files and click on Mortscript.exe .
To uninstall: First download the ResetClockPanel.zip below. Unzip and then place the .mscr file on your phone. Run it with File Explorer, this will reset your clock panel. Now go to Settings/Remove Programs and uninstall the cab.
City Location Codes:
For anyone that needs to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.
http://hadle.accu-weather.com/widget/hadle/city-find.asp?location=calcutta
So, for this link above, if you were looking for Calcutta, India. Go to this link, and you will see a line like this:
<location cnt="1" city="Calcutta" state="India(Bangla)" location="ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA" />
So your location to enter in to options would be :
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
This should work for cities worldwide.
Feather currently is installed with a slim panel layout only. If you want more dll or cpr options, they are easily installed with FileChanger. Those are more homescreen customizations than they are weather customization, thats why they aren't in here.
For landscape phones: If you don't want the slim panels, I have standard panels cpr and mini panels cpr that work specifically with FeatherWeather. They are in the Featherscprs.zip below. Just install with the FileChanger app or copy into windows folder. Click on the File Changer in my signature below for the File Changer thread and download.
New Portrait versions below, the last 2 cabs that names end with "P" are the portrait versions. Portrait versions updated 8/19/08 with new cpr. If you already installed, you can download the cpr zip only and install to windows directory.
Check out these new portrait layouts provided by Kron2:
Make sure you get the landscape or portrait version you need, first 2 are Landscape, last 2 are Portrait
NOTE: There was a slight change in the feed. So after installing one of these cabs, please go to Post #101 and download the forecast fix.

If it doesn't, then restart your phone to set new clock panel in place. After reboot, go to start menu and run FeatherOptions. Go to Setup and set all of your info. After setup, exit options by selecting "Run Weather Update and Exit".
That's it, your done.
To uninstall: Go to Settings, Remove Programs and uninstall the cab. It won't change your clock panel back, but it will remove everything else. To revert clock panel back, install an original cpr or cpr of your choice.
Feather currently uses a slim panel layout, but I will add more support if anyone wants standard or fat panels. If you want more dll or cpr options, they are easily installed with FileChanger. Those are more homescreen customizations than they are weather customization, thats why they aren't in here.

First post updated with two new cabs, here are the standard sized panels and the mini sized panels cprs that work with Feather below in the zip file. I also included the slim cpr for going back to.
Good weather application. Seems nice, but I will give it a shot later to see how it works...

The app only needs the cpr file adjusted for the clock panel layout to be ready to go. I have no way to test the layout, so it would be a total guess. If someone wants to make the cpr, or I could post a test version. A test version would probably have to be tweaked after installed to get the layout just right. You want to test? I can take a stab at the layout if you want to finish the final tweaking of positions.
Edit: If you want to pm me your email, I have a test cpr ready if you want to try it.
When I try and run Feather Options, I get and error: There is no application associated with "FeatherOptions"

download sktools lite, its free. With it you can remove the notifications which are causing the error. If you want to reinstall, let me know which version you are using and I will get your icon fixed. If its the total clock version, the reason you didn't get the icon is because of not mortscript not registering at the beginning. It writes the value for the iconpath when the reboot occurs, but it needs mortscript to do it. Its an easy fix. After install, if mort doesn't register again, then reregister mortscipt again. After that, while you are in the featherweather folder, click on install.mscr. This will setup your icon for the clock panel and start your setup when it finishes.
I just reinstalled and rebooted my phone, and when the plugin came up, all seemed good then the screen died! It couldn't come on. I just got the phone and the first one AT&T shipped me had a bad backlight so I thought the worst, then I pulled the battery and rebooted again. Now the sun is shining gloriously on my Q Thanks, it was a little rocky but it sure looks nice. I really appreciate teh help getting this running, kudos to you sir.

No problem, I'm still trying to figure out why mort doesn't always register correctly because thats the culprit in most problems that have been reported.
Portrait version is now available for download in post #1. Huge Thanks go to Kron2 for the work on the cpr layout for these two new portrait cabs.
I have installed the portrait total clock version in my HTC VOX. It runs fine. But it is not updating weather for my town. I live in Calcutta, India. After a lot of googling for getting accuweather codes, I tried the following in settings but none seemed to work.
ASI/IN/IN036/CALCUTTA
"ASI/IN/IN036/CALCUTTA"
INO36
CALCUTTA
Can anybody help me as to how to insert the code for my hometown Calcutta as I have liked the application very much and does not feel to ditch the same. Although it is not a forum for VOX I had to write in this forum as there are no threads for Feather weather in VOX forum.
Moreover, would anybody please give the link to the slide homescreen in Portrait version as posted in post no. 1.
Thanks in advance.

You have the right code, sort of. instead of "/" , you need "|". I tried it and it works, so for you code enter:
ASI|IN|IN036|CALCUTTA
For the theme, thats Kron2's theme. You may be able to find it at allshadow.com or by contacting him.
For anyone that need to find their city code, use this link and change the location in this url to the name of your city and then go to it and it will give a list of all cities worldwide that have that name. Get your location from there and enter it exactly as it appears in the quotes, but do not use the quotes.

First of all i am very sorry to ask this stupid question as you have narrated the same example in your post 1. Actually I was too excited and overlooked that part. Anyway I am trying to find out the "|" character in my keyboard. Many thanks to you.
Hello I want to add a custom city for the weather tab in TFLO3D. I tried the one that worked for me on my diamond but it says it cannot disable the file write protection on the database using "Weather Database Editor by Andreas Falke" Any waay to make this work or is there a tool already out for the TP2?
I've been tying to add my town to the weather tab, and all the directions are so confusing I have the weather database editor and total comander. I just cant figure out to do, can someone give me simple instructions plz?!
I use a program called Weather City Editor, and it works like a charm. It's very simple, don't have to go in and edit any files. You just run the program, select country and state, add a city, enter the info for the city, and tap the "Add" soft key.

New City does not work
Hello I even tried to add 2 cities
Weiden, GER as EUR|DE|GM002|WEIDEN
Gilching, Ger as EUR|DE|GM002|GILCHING
both are selectable. But when I try to update the weather data, I get some error message.
"During the update, there has been a connection error. Try again?" (Same for activesync, wifi and GSM connection)
I never got an update of Weiden and Gilching.
Even tried the sqlite way for adding cities.
Any hints?
Solution:
-----------
Found myself a solution I have reinstalled "Wether Databese Editor" and it worked!
It seemd that the reg entry from a post I found was not correct or sufficient.
