History: i have search for a port of Weather from iPhone to WM. iWeather, founded on this forum supports only one city and only QVGA screens. So i decide to make my own
Features:
- Many cities
- WVGA support (current only this)
- Skins support for alternative screen resolutions (need a bit of graphics and change xml file)
iAltWeather Controlling
Slide finger left - next city
Slide finger right - previous city
Slide finger down - hide iAltWeather
Slide finger up - close iAltWeather
TODO:
- Configuration screen
- Skins for main screen resolutions: VGA, QVGA, WQVGA
Version History
0.1 - Initial release
0.1.1
- Fixed bug with Celsius
- Added switching from last to first cities
- Separate cabs (iAltWeather, iAltWeatherSkin)
City selection only in iAltWeather.xml file in programm dir.
City code can grabbed from weather search weather.yahoo.com
iAltWeather 0.1 cab (program itself)
iAltWeather Skin for WVGA cab (install to the same path as programm)
I've seen this somewhere before??? Just can't put my iFinger on it...
Nice work, I'll give it a go!
Thanks, looks like a great weather program.
Just what I was Looking.
Will certainly try it.
great program weather thanks
how do you change it to F instaed of C. I change Celcius=1 to Celcius=0 in the xml file but that didnt seem to do the trick
may this program cause any problem to the standard touchflo meteo app?
or can I use both flawless?
great job!!
thanks for this software
but it is really close to Iweather

hmmm, i still have the bug I guess. I cant get anything but Celcius to display. What is the parameter to ger Ferinheit to display? do I set the xml file to 0, 2, 3, 4 ....? So far 0 and 2 havent worked for me

OK i got it. What i did was delete everything out of the cache folder first, swiped finger to close app which didnt work. Next I deleted the xml file and swiped finger to close app that didnt work. Finally i deleted cache, relaced xml and rebooted phone and that did work. I am suspicious that the finger swipe isnt closing the app (i tried both up and down swipes) because even the old cities were there after I repleaced the xml file but they were gone when i rebooted (which definately closed the app)
Nonetheless, its working now and the setting in the xml file is celsius="0" to get Ferinheit
Mallman, can you test Close app stroke, becuase i'm can't repeat that program does not close.
Try run program, slide finger from down to up of the screen. And if window disappear check with some true task manager is there in system runing process iAltWeather.exe
If you don't have a task manager, you can decide program closed or not, using time between tap on link and weather screen appear. If iAltWeather running in background time is much less that if program doing full start.

it didnt show as running in task manager, i just concluded it must not have closed some how because a soft reset fixed the issue.
this program may caus problem with default touchflo3d weather app?
or Can I run both programs without problem?
quit program
hi, would it be possible that the program quits just like any other program by pressing the back-key/home-key? now the program remains active and is still fully active when i switch back to my empty home screen.

Help plz..........>"<
Nice work.
I have just upgraded from a TyTN2/Kaiser to a new TP2/Rhodium running WM 6.1 .. and am enjoying the experience except for one fly in the ointment.
Text selection in certain apps is incredibly painful: using the stylus to select a portion of text is almost always interpreted as an attempt to drag-scroll the display. "Almost always" because if you time it properly, waiting a second or so and start dragging before the context menu pops up, then it sorta kinda works. But the selection seems to kick in quite some time AFTER beginning to drag, and therefore doesn't start at the beginning of the target. And Double-clicks (to select a whole word) no longer stretch word-for-word as I drag.
Most apps still work fine, but the following key apps suffer this annoying misbehaviour:
Contacts - But only the "Notes" tab. All text in the "Details" tab behaves as expected!
SMS texting - This occurs when selecting "Send Text Message" from a contact's Summary display (which is actually my preferred method as it is the quickest!). And it also occurs if you start an SMS from the messaging app via menu options Menu\New\SMS. But if you compose an SMS in the threaded view of a conversation in the same app, then the text selection is ok!
I can't find any posts by others who might be experiencing something similar, so is there a solution for this? A registry hack maybe? Am I the only one who has noticed this problem, or am I the only one who is annoyed so much by it?
Notes tab of Contacts app: I experience the same here. But it doesn't really bother me too much since I rarely have to select text here.
Messaging App: I didn't know you can select text like that (ie. tap and hold for a bit and drag) until you mentioned it! Anyway, if you want to select text here, you can always tap "Menu" and then "Select Text".

I use the contact notes extensively, so it is extremely frustrating to have it compromised and complicated now (compared with TyTN2).

Ahh - thanks for that! Now if only i could find a way to keep that as the default
** UPDATE **
** UPDATE **
I just noticed that everything works properly .. if and only if you use "My Mobiler" to remotely control the phone. So you can use your mouse and your desktop monitor to drag select text in the above compromised apps (including Active Tasks by the way) .. and everything will be fine.
But when it come to using the stylus on the phone's touch-screen directly, the selection still misbehaves!!
This is not a workaround, just mentioning it in the hope that it might help someone enlightened enough to be able to piece the puzzle together

Thanks, but i'm not sure how exactly does it solve the problem? If you mean the post by orlandojumpoff (post #16) about pressing and holding and then dragging when the animation starts, then that's actually the problem itself.
The animation goes by so fast, that each time you do this, it takes a few false starts before you manage to time it right. The overall effect is to give priority to TF3D scrolling at the expense of functionality in terms of text selection. It makes me want to rip out TF3D by it's heart, which of course is a bit overkill.
I'd settle for being able to tell TF3D to stop interfering in specific apps, or simply to stop interferring while editing. Actually, come to think of it .. another viable option might be to find a way to get that animation to take a little longer ... hmmm
One thing you can do to mitigate it somewhat is to double tap on a word to select a word, triple tap to select an entire line. I use Pocket Informant and it too won't allow me to drag to select unless I try to time it like you do. Another trick is to use the hardware keyboard, and your arrow and shift keys combined to select text.
Sure wish the good things we like about WM would stick from version to version, and the bad things would be fixed and stay fixed. Hey, it could happen

There is a similar problem on Topaz (Diamond 2). It seems finger scrolling sensitivity was made too high and it can no more tell finger from stylus. I found a (partial) solution. Maybe it works on Rhodium too.
- Find the registry key "HKLM\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings".
- It should contains a subkey named "TFLOIgnoreAPPs". If it does not exist create it.
- For every application where you want to be able to select text add a string value called "IgnoreAppXY" where XY are two characters different for every entry.
- As value enter the name of the application EXE file as seen in file explorer (warning: case does matter).
From then on for that applications finger scrolling is suppressed and text selection works as expected.
This is a sample from my registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs]
"IgnoreAppST"="WiFiNetwork.exe"
"IgnoreAppYT"="YouTube.exe"
"IgnoreAppPH"="PIMHelper.exe"
"IgnoreAppNP"="NOTEPAD.exe"
"IgnoreAppCE"="ContactEditor.exe"
"IgnoreAppTM"="tmail.exe"
"WiFiNetwork.exe" and YouTube.exe" were already there. I added "PIMHelper.exe" (editing inside SPB Diary Today plugin),
"ContactEditor.exe" (editing for Contacts), "tmail.exe" (editing for SMS and email) and "NOTEPAD.exe" (Orneta text editor).
Hope it helps.
That method worked for me for Pocket Informant, using "ignoreappPI"="PocketInformant.exe".
Thanks!
SOLVED!

Brilliant - Thank you! This is EXACTLY what i was hoping for! Awesome!
Update:
I posted this brilliant solution to the standard thread for Rhodium Cabs,Tips,Tweaks etc
.. Thanks again oruam57!
Just a word of caution. My device already had [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\TFLOSettings\TFLOIgnoreAPPs], with YouTube as the only exclusion, but i notice that the board seems to introduce a space into the "TFLOIgnoreAPPs" portion, which might cause problems for some folks who want to try this out.
And for the record, this solution does not solve the problem for the standard editor for Contacts and Tasks, which doesn't have a Process whose name you can use. So I'll start looking at custom editors for Contacts now, but it's good to have this handy tweak within reach!

Maybe I do not understand exactly your problem but on my Topaz:
- in the first tab of standard Contacts and Task editor text selection does work (do not know why, I suppose Touch Flow has some internal logic);
- in the second tab (Notes) of Contacts text selection can be forced working by inserting the process "ContactEditor.exe";
- in the second tab (Notes) of Tasks text selection can be forced working by inserting the process "poutlook.exe".
At any rate using Dotfred's Task Manager (http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm) you can inspect processes and windows on your phone and with a little patience you can find the owner process of any interesting window.
Hooray!

@ Oruam57, you're right, thanks again! I was in fact using DotFred's Task Manager to discover the processes .. but i came to the incorrect conclusion (that there was no identifiable processes, for Tasks and for Contacts) because i saw no change in the processes listed between editing and not editing their notes, as poutlook.exe was still running after i edited the notes and while the list of tasks/contacts was still displayed.
And this is how I overlooked the possibility that poutlook.exe itself was the editor
BTW, i notice that the exclusion for poutlook.exe works for the notes of both Tasks AND Contacts, they seem to use the same editor. I have no ContactEditor.exe listed at all, must be for your custom editor.
I tried with on WLMMessenger.exe, but it didint work.
I still cant select ( highlight ) text from a conversation. When i do it begins to scroll..
Has anyone the solution?
I found these 4 applications on EnergyROM WM 6.5 (under Utilities folder)
I have been playing around with them, but I got no clue what are they for and how to use them....I have made a search on this forum but found not relevant links...
Here are the four appls:
Notifcation Manager ON
Notifcation Manager OFF
Finger Menus OFF
Finger Menus ON
Can please someone share with me?
Thank you
Saulo
corrections: these 4 apps are under
main desktop > Utilitities > Tweaks
and the ROM is EnergyROM WM 6.5
I have tried to use the search functions in this site, but nothing relevant I can get.
Can somebody share his suggestions?
Thanks
Saulo
Why dont you ask at the rom thread those questions or use the Google?
You have opened three new threads regarding EnergyROM and comparing it with WM6.1 programs or functions, if you are not happy go back to WM6.1
for 3 reasons I made this post:
(by the way I like WM6.5, I just want to get the most from it! I have no regret to move to 6.5 from 6.1)
1st reason: because I have ALREADY posted this question on EnergyROM thread, 3 weeks ago, but they get new posts so frequently that my question got completely unnoticed and un-answered
2nd by googling or using internal search function I found not relevant explanation of what Notification Manager is
3rd I have try to toggle NOTIFICATION MANAGER but I can feel or see any changed behaviour in my Touch phone..
Can anybody else give me a hint?
Thanks
Saulo
I've got the same rom and the same question, it toggled it on device soft resets. Then nothing?
Dear A1Gp.
Please can you expand? I have enabled Notification Manager (and to apply it it required a soft reset, by the way)
After this soft reset I still see no changes!
If now I press the red button on main page (soft reset) it immediately resets the system, JUST AS BEFORE... I get no notification.
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
I would like to know too!

"Notification manager" is the black screen that show you any notifications (like Miss call, SMS, etc.) when you tap on the top taskbar.
"Finger Menus" is the finger friendly menu in Manila. If you off it, you'll get the standard (smaller but faster) menu. (Tried to use "File Explorer" and click on the menu to see the differences.)
Not using Energy ROM so can't show you screen shots
Hope this help
Hi all,
Question actually 2:
1) I checked but didnt find what I was looking for dont know if it even exists. Is there a standalone program out there that you can install and access from the programs menu so that if for any reason when manila crashes (which happens often) that you can hit start and then tap the icon to re-start manila? Cause many of times Manila will crash or hang and other then powering it off or taking the battery out, you cant restart it.
2) As for the today screen, I dont know thats why I am asking, I was toying with some of the editors posted around for the png and gui, and noticed you can compress alot of the images that appear. My question is, will it make a big impact to how the screen looks meaning jagged edges, ugly etc?, The reason I ask is cause since the today screen has alot going on, and being that manila is sluggish as it is, I was wondering is compressing the images or files, would speed up the loading process and speed up some of the loading from screen to screen.
1. You can use cleanram for this. It will clean you're memory and restart manila. Make sure you don't have manila on you're exception list.
Ive used this before. just saw there was an update thru the program (props for that feature). Just thought there was maybe a simple program that just restarted it. but thanx for the input!
anyone with any ideas for Q2?
Been using the MAX MANILLA rom for about 4 days now. the only issue I've been having is just GUI stuff and txt'n software prob.
EX:
1) the Digital clock will sometimes freeze (no biggy)
2) If I was to send a text on my device to somebody, it wont show up on the screen, I would have to change screens and then go back to my text messages to see it.
3) sometimes the device will show you have a txt when you've already read it.
Same goes for.......if i was to stay in the text messaging program and somebody sends me a text message, I'd have to move to another screen and then come back to the text screen to see it.
Anybody else having this issue?
Update here you guys. I dont know if its the reboot that fixed the txt messaging error or installing the ATT tilt2 keyboard fix.
But now my text messages are working properly. it shows up on the screen as i send it.
Thats great youngWMuser glad you fixed your problem, but it has nothing to do with the topic of the post. If you have issues create a seperate post to solve your issues, Thanx.
lol. sorry. I'm using Manilla and the thread said "today screen and manila itself" haha. That's why i posted on here. And the text problem still is occuring.
Rather than installing a program to take up more space, you could go to Start>Settings>Today, click on the Items tab. De-select Manila (in my case, it's TouchFlo 3D) and hit okay. It will take you back to the Settings page, select Today again and go back to the Items page and re-select Manila. When installing a new TochFlo 3D theme, I do that rather than doing a soft reset. It seems a little quicker to me.
Take a look at this. The "Things you should know" and "History" sections might help.
Just out of curiosity, what versions are your ROM and Manila
JCTerry,
Your right, but in the the 2.5 manila the setting page to get to all settings, still access a manila tab, which is of no use, but you did make me think of another way. Does anyone know what the CPL is to access the all settings page, I could just create a shortcut in the programs menu.
But I am still curious about the compressing of the files for the today screen, has anyone ever tried it?
ive searched the threads and cant seem to find a way to disable the accelerometer. it drives me crazy in bed when im trying to use opera it keeps flipping. i want to just be able to change orientation when i open the keyboard. otherwise ill do it manually. does anyone have a solution besides the taping the magnet one.

Since you didn't say which ROM you were using, I'm going to assume you're on the stock one with TF3D. Go here to turn it off: Start > Settings > System > G-Sensor.

im using the stock sprint rom with the 6.5 upgrade. Ive disabled touchflow and use spb mobile shell. Ive gone into start settings system g sensor but there is only a option to calibrate the g sensor nowhere do i see any other options for anything. I dont think there are any differences wether i access the setting through touch flo. Maybe your rom adds that setting. Thanks for the reply and trying to help.
Delete the apps of your choice (in this case Opera) from the White List in the registry to prevent G-Sensor rotation. White List location is:
HKCU\Software\HTC\HTCSENSOR\GSensor\WhiteList
If registry edits scare you, you can install the G-Config app. This simple program just edits the registry through a user-friendly UI.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=487991
Open G-Config, you should see Opera on the list of Rotated Apps. Select and hold on Opera until the option to "Remove" pops up. Select "Remove" than exit G-Config, and soft reset the phone to make the change take effect.

Hi thanks for the response. i use opera mini and its not on the list. I added it and then tried to remove it but that did not work. I guess its only good for disabling g sensor for the programs that it comes with - I was succesful at disabling rotation with the opera on the list that comes with the stock rom. Any other suggestions? Ive never edited a registry but am williing to try if you can tell me how. thanks.
