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.

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

Okaaaay... care to share how you got the national weather on a slide ? Or even the MSNDirect ?
Ask The PudgeDaddy To Send You a copy

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.....!
Hi guys !
Everything is in the title
The thing is that I don't really know what is the default server TF3D is usung to update the weather (I think it is from accuweather) but the data displayed are most of the time not really true and sometimes stupid!
for example, the max is at 4°C and the minimum is 1°C and the weather displayed is 6°C!!! How could that be!!
So that's why I would like to change the server...
thanks, Cheers!
I agree, I have the same problem
are we the onlt two to face the problems or is there someone else ?
Because it is really annoying
I have the same problem from greece ,
The server show conditions diferent from all other sites, and not reliable.
I was accustomed to spb weather which was very precise and gave forecasts for morning, day, evening and night and gave the opportunity to choose the server. The weather of TF3D is ridiculous!
(Sorry for my English)
yeh I agree!
But I really want to use the weather plugin of TF3D and not to launch an other app just to watch it
I want the same thing! We hope that someone plug in a few developments that could improve the weather of TF3D.
I would love to change the server, too.
But does TF3D use some kind of common format for its forecast data, so that the server can be changed at all?
Same problems for me,
me too....
Another one here.
Unfortunately, only people with complains, nobody with solutions.
Hi guys !
Still no idea about that ?
same problem, german weather is most time not true.
Maybe yahoo weather, it is much more better i use it sometimes on the iphone.
I also use the Forecastfox Firefox extension which uses AccuWeather data on my laptop. This data rarely matches the AccuWeather data on my HD.

yeh you're probably right but how to set it on TF3D ? That's the question....
Did anyone find a clue to do this?
I didnt find anything in the registry and filesystem only the Manila files and with a link to accuweather
another one here that wants better weather reporting!
Not quite the same here.
I don't like the accuracy of the weather plugin, too, but i wonder, if it would be possible, to CHANGE the whole application behind the tab?
I wanted to start SPB Weather instead of Manila 3D-Weather when i push the weather tab in touchflow.....
Anyone knows if THAT would be possible, instead of changing the weather server?
get Weather database editor , with that i got every single town in my small country , after u instal that, u need to use http://www.accuweather.com to find your place code and enter it, its easy, try.
i got this small addon on this site, and im very thankfull to guy who made it for us.
accuweather is crap :/ i found my town but the temperature is always wrong -.-
Hi,
I think some of these have been listed, but there are some changes to the weather tab that I think would really improve it...
I tried to see if anyone had a solution, but couldn't find anything, so consider this a wish list for anyone who knows how some of these things could be possible...
1. Auto Update
Auto update is good, but not for every time I go to the tab (especially since I don't use a data plan). Is there any way to change this so it updates on a schedule only, or automatically (without going to the tab) only if a data connection is detected - eg every morning at 7am...?
2. 5 Day View
A forecast is great, but if I can't update my weather for a day or two, I have to go to the 5 day forecast to get today's weather. Honestly, the 'today' weather should pick the correct day and display it - so if you updated the weather on tuesday, and it's now thursday, the tab should show thursday's forecast - it's been downloaded, it's in the database, so why not show it...?
Ok, so that's my wish list - I know there aren't any settings as such to change this, but is any of this possible with a bit of ROM development or anything...?
FYI - I'm on 1.96.710.3
Thanks...!
I am trying to develop a weather update tool, which will update the weather forecasts when the device is connected with activesync or on some other schedules.

My Different Solution !
I'm using "Second Today" and "Weather Panel" (and Spb Weather)
Accuweatherther site?
Hi,
I think lot of us are interested by a weather site other than accuweather. For example, i'm french, and i would like a site like meteofrance wich is more precise than a foreign site.
Do you think it's possible ?
Merci !
I'd love to see BBC UK's weather included!
accuweather
There are a lot of people who would be interested in another provider than Accuweather. This is not accurate at all. There are so many other ones which are better than accuwather. At least in asia and UK it is not accurate. so is there a way to change that.
Hi i have found that if you start the weather database editor after turning off Manila (TF3D) it works fully to add your own town! Works fine on my Dutty´s HD WM6.5 R6 Turbo WWE! If any one else get the same result, post it here soo i know that its not only my phone it works on...
yup works on topix 2.7, a note though. if you ADD a city in tf3d weather, and then select the city in world clock (to have, for example, the weather displayed in calendar), the fuse setting will be freaked up and defaulted to some african region or whatever. to have the fuse properly displayed you must EDIT an already existing city to the one you want.
Ok so to get it right easily(In my case with ÅÄÖ) i must use weather database editor to add cities and have manila turned off. And edit the file "2330fc3c_manila" in SQLite on my PC to add the timezone! But do not change the strange changes in the citynames, it will work anyway!
This is for Sweden with city names containing letters "Å,Ä,Ö"
yep, if you aint into sql editing you can edit with weather db editor an already existing city and it will have the correct timezone already
As the title says. I don't use the TF3D weather in Manila 2.1, so it's just messing up my homescreen really... I would so dearly like to get rid of it, but I haven't managed to do so yet, after half an hour or more of searching. I did a regedit:
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Weather.EnableCurrentLocation
but it didn't help setting it to 0 and soft resetting. The weather is still there, under the clock, showing me we had sun a couple months ago. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated!
i have found that disabling the Weather tab disables it under the clock.
Hm. Not so here, I have had that weather tab disabeled since I first booted the phone up, but it's still on the today screen.
Noone with relevant info?
The reg edit should have worked.
Turn of My location
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\weather.EnableCurrentLocation set to 0
But you need to set your clock (home screen manilla) and select my location at the clocks, not your hometown. It will just state "my location" instead of the name of your home town and not show any weather. At least that is what it does on mine.
Give it a try
You helped me in some way actually. Your tip about the manila clock "My location" got me on the right track. I only had "My location" there, so I added another city, selected it and fount the weather database file in Application data\HTC\database and deleted it, then selected "My location" again. Presto
Thanks!
Glad you figured it out and I could be of some help
Cheers
@ mhurg, how did you manage to delete the *.db file in application data/htc/database I am not able to delete it.
Greetz Sascha
You must disable TouchFlow/Sense first, delete the db file, and then re-enable TF/Sense.
