Here's Chome Weather 3.0 with a 10 day forecast. Download the cab and enjoy.
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. 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 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 + Weather!" automatically.
6) Enjoy and report any bugs you might encounter, please.
New features:
- New 6 day forecast layout (layout #7)
- Autoupdate using Yahoo's server time. No manual control over update interval anymore.
- 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.
- "Stardock 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 Layout with no background.
8- IPhone Slim Layout

- 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.
If you like this application and feel the need to support my work, here's a link to donate to me via PayPal.
PayPal Donate Link
DO NOT install this to the storage card. It will not work that way!
p.s. Portrait support is included for the new 6 day layout.
p.s.s. The cab seems to take a few minutes to install, especially if you're installing over 2.0.3. So just be patient I guess...
Update to 3.1
Only install this if you have 3.0.1 or 3.0.2 installed. Otherwise, download the cab in the sendspace link above and install the whole app.
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. Take note your wireless manager might be gone, or might act erracticaly. If you have problems, just install the cab. Don't post in the thread about it, there's nothing I can do about it.
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 most of your layouts and extended forecast panels
Most of the icons sets install as a one time installation application. Which means you will not see it in the "uninstallable" list of program under "Settings". Once you run the cab, it will overwrite whatever icons are installed and that's it...
Reserved... the last one.. I promise
Looks niiice i will be testing on Portrait (tornado)
Good Job
So far so good on my Q9c. Last version had to be uninstalled due to a couple of crashes. The worst being when I plugged into the computer the home screen crashed and would not recover after a reboot.
Like the new layout.
Formatting on QVGA
Incredible progress!
I've attached two SS's from my QVGA, using your layout #9 (Standard 6 day which is only 4 day by the way). As you can see, the bottom Temps are not lined up in either F or C and I looked at the CPR, but it is like Greek to me... I see "Bottom Temps" but fiddling and restarting gives me either to the Right or Left - I don't suppose there is a GUI for modding these CPRs is there?
Can you assist in getting it all lined up?
Thanks and keep up the GREAT work! Expect some more PayPal coming your way!
The new layout looks beautiful. The one thing i might suggest: You may want to add an option in advanced options to turn off the 10 day forecast. Since it appears that im going to be using this 6 day testpluginui ( and several others will be too) they may not want or need the additional 10 day forecast panel.
I personally know how to disable it via the registry, but others may not. Secondly, If that option is de-selected, if you can also put in the weather.mscr file to not update that panel, so that way the weather updater runs a little faster.
Edit: I also think that today's Hi/Lo under the city needs to be removed. Its kind of redundant info, since the same info is located in the 6 day forecast located in the first day of the 6 day forecast.
This will also allow more room for lengthier weather condition names.
Damn,
Free service is at full capacity, hope someone can mirror it later.....
I'm anxious to try it
I installed on my Q9c and I still get that font issue with large text boxes in PIE, however, I'm willing to put up with it at this point since the 6-day layout means I don't have to reboot the phone to see the latest forecast.
Any idea what might be causing the font issue? Since this weather panel is basically just scripts reading XML files and making registry changes, I can't imagine that it'd be too hard to figure out what's causing the PIE font issue. The font issue isn't a huge deal and I'd completely ignore it if it weren't for the fact that the digital font makes no differentiation between upper and lower case and many special characters just show up as boxes.
I dumped the 10-day panel and added a link to the Weather Update in my links panel if I ever decide to manually update the weather.

It may be the chome_320X240.cpr file in your /windows directory. When you load a layout. his program pulls .cprs from the chomeweather directory and replaces your original chome_320X240.cpr file ... you may uninstall. copy over your chome320X240.cpr file do your PC's desktop and open it and whatever .cpr file you use for the weather layout and compare the differences.
Glad you guys like it. I'm sorry the portrait guys are still experiencing issues, like the misalignment of the bottom temps. However, the issue needs to be taken care of in the weather.mscr file, not the cpr file. I think I will switch to png rendering of the bottom temps instead of relying on text handled by the plugin. It's just not reliable at all and the temps are always a little misaligned....
Look for 3.0.1 at the end of the day... LOL

I second that, the testui pluig in is enough for me, I already remove the welcome center because is no need to get it on the screen, anyway it looks besutiful, great work......
Great work as always, man. Amazing how you fit so much information in such a small place.
Personally, I'm sticking with the NRG Slim layout for now. Going for the "less is more" effect
Whats Vox version and how do i get my NRG Colored panels with the 5 day forcast like on PIcture 4?

Point taken. I will remove the "hi -lo" in the top left corner and make enabling the welcome center an option
Excuse me for the question, but will this app work on regular WM6, or it only works with WM 6.1 Chome?
No chances to have a version for WM6?

this app is specifically written for the sliding panel homescreen. The sliding panel homescreen is only available on the WM 6.1 platform. So no. it does not and will not work on the WM6 interface
I've got the shakes...
Oh man... I SO wanna download this and "finagle" while I'm here at work, but I'll need to edit my cpr and it's too cumbersome trying to do it from the phone (instead of on my PC desktop). Blast! My love for boldened titles hinders me from enjoying this .cab this instant! lol
S2U2
Although S2U2 is now called v1.05 it doesn't mean it can be run perfectly on your device. Thanks to different devices produced by different vendors. So, please test it before use it everyday, especially the CallerID function.
What is S2U2?
S2U2 (Slide2Unlock2) is a simple lock/unlock application which has the iPhone style slide unlocking. It can be used as a screensaver while you don't use your device. And it's has a CallerID function (but some devices may not work, so please try it first); and S2P control plugin.
Prerequisition:
- WM5 Phone or WM6 Professional devices
- free RAM: at least 1M for QVGA; 3M for VGA
Changes of v1.05
- fixed the bug introduced in v1.02 that the clock did not update occasionally on device wake up;the idle time out occasionally malfunction; and the wallpaper did not change occasionally.
- the total unread count for FlexMail now reads to a maximum of 10 storages.
- fixed the bug that displayed night icon for Spb Weather.
- fixed the bug that some devices could not run probably on landscape mode.
- added support to RealVGA.
- added support to WVGA & WQVGA.
- some minor bugs fixed.
Mod Edit:
Perhaps you could explain why you are posting links on different forums that all go to a certain website. Link removed. You are also duplicating info shown here:

Hi guys,
I'm experiencing a change in functionality from manila 2.0/2.1 to 2.5:
under the following conditions:
- the headset is connected (earphones)
- music is playing through the music tab
- the 'off' button has been clicked (e.g. device is in 'walkman-mode')
this takes place:
- the volume can no longer be changed by using the volume buttons on the left hand side of the blackstone. The volume buttons do, however, gained the 'previous song' and 'next song' functionality.
Questions:
- is it but a mere setting to change the behaviour back to what it was in the previous manila versions?
- in case it is not a mere setting change, has anybody come up with a way of changing back this behaviour? (a way other than using a different manila version, obviously)
Thanks in advance
update
Additional information:
I had the Dusk taskbar icons installed, when I tried to install the 'm6 color taskbar' cab the volume buttons acted like before when the device is in walkman mode.
I suppose I could state that something about the taskbar icons packages (which include next to taskbar icons the 'loader' icon and some volume-change-stuff) influences this behaviour.
In any case I have answered my own question: just uninstall all icon-theme packages to revert back to normal behaviour.
Hi, I always thought windows mobile lacks of a few basic things. One of them is a basic profiles selector.
There are several apps doing the job like phone alarm (my favourite) or phoneweaver but these programs are commercial and even if I paid for phonealarm I am abandoning it since I am getting more and more minimalistic.
I am combining mortscript, htcaction screen, Vit Bernatik backlight control, vjvolubilis, wifionoff, michasspecial refresh and eric's pfswitch to do the following:
- Define 8 profiles (home, internet, gps, car, outdoor, mute, vibrate, flight)
- Have a full screen pop-up menu that autohides after a few seconds if no profile is selected (htc action screen) (screenshot below)
- With the profiles govern: radio, bluetooth, wifi, grps, backlight intensity, dim and screenoff timeouts, rotation, incall and system volume and automatic activation of a program if wanted
- Update titanium wallpaper accordingly (screenshot below)
- Update the shorcut icon in the start menu accordingly to the profile selected (screenshot below)
Eric has been helping me a lot lately with his console app
The profile module still is missing a few functionalities
- A setup file so users can choose to change wallpaper or not.
- A UI to mantain the profiles names and parameters (I plan to do it in mortscript since I am not able to program on windows mobile so far)
- A cab install, including the icon that I currently create at 1st boot with mortscript
- A GPS switch (so it can be used to sync time automatically at 1st boot or on demand)
- A replacement for htcaction screen (so many brn files, brrrr...)
- Support newer devices than my Polaris (I have no accelerometer or light sensor)
I post it in case somebody is interested either to use it or to help me complete it, or improve it (performance, better tweaks, etc) and who knows, maybe someone wants to take it to the next level and help me replace htcaction screen or build a nice touch friendly UI to mantain profiles.
Here are the files (it is a module in my kitchen, simply add to your kitchen or copy all files to windows and rename and import the provxml file and create a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe):
A little ashamed of publishing this in the software development section. Maybe it would be more appropiate to publish in the themes section...
That's all folks !!
Hello,
I have made some simple icons for apps because it was annoing that some app's icons didn't look like the entire theme .

Needed Tools:
- Windows Phone Device Manager
or
- Advanced Explorer
- Desktop Host
Install GuideVideo Guide
More easy way to install the icons is with Device Manager of TouchXperience (video guide above):
1 - download Icons (the ones with - SMI) and ProductId
2 - unzip the icons
3 - Open Windows Phone Device Manager (sync with the device) and open Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
4 - Open the unziped folder and open the folder with the color you want
5 - Select all (or select the ones you want) and drag them to Windows Phone Device Manager - Explore Files and Folders\Applications\Install\
6 - wait till all folders are copied
That's it !!!
For those that can't use the method above, try the old ones below:First Method to Install (for one icon at a time)
I will make an example for Advanced Explorer with Orange color
1 - download nichitandrei - Simple Icons.zip and Product Id
2 - unzip
3 - open nichitandrei - Simple Icons\Orange code - f09609\Advanced Explorer\
4 - copy .PNGs to Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot
5 - look in the Product Id.txt and see what code has the app of which icon you replace (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
6 - go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the icons from the UploadRoot
7 - Copy the icon in Applications\Install\DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E\Install\
And that's it
Second Method to Install (for more than one icon at a time)
I will make an example for Advanced Explorer with Orange color
1 - download nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI.zip and Product Id
2 - unzip
3 - copy Orange folder (from nichitandrei - Simple Icons - SMI\Orange\) in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\
4 - open nichitandrei - product id.txt and you will see the product id (for Advanced Explorer - DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
5 - if you don't want to change the icon for Advanced Explorer, in Desktop Host\bin\UploadRoot\Orange\ delete the folder named DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E
6 - after you delete all the folders you don't want, go to the phone and open Advanced Explorer go to remote page and refresh it till you'll see the Orange folder from the UploadRoot
7 - open Orange folder and you'll see the product id folders (like DEA9333A-E91C-44ED-BB1F-2400CD9E824E)
8 - select them and copy them in the Application\Install\ (try to not copy more than 7 at the time. From my experience Advanced Explorer blocks)
9 - wait till all folders are copied
If you need other icons leave a list with the name of the app
Thanks
- to my wife for her Support and Understanding
Attention!!! v2 contains just the new icons. To have it all download both v1 + v2

Feel free to leave a feedback or simply press Thanks button to show your appreciation
I know, I know I posted this on HD2 Forum, but I was wrong, because this is for all WP7 devices and I know that [ICONS] must be posted on THEME Sub-Forum but on WP7 there is no Theme Sub-Forum
I don't get it, weren't you bothered that when you have a theme (e.g: blue, orange, red ect) the icons had different colors or you don't like these.
No feeback, no thanks I'm a little dissapointed... At least for the fact that I implemented the ideea of changing the icons
This post is for future updates. If I will need
I would try this but advanced explorer doesnt work on focus
Hope this works for you

Ok, I figured out a method for your problem:
Download "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" and open it with Winrar and copy the folders with the icons you want to install then save and close.
Install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" like any other app.
In your phone, after you install "Icons by nichitandrei.xap" it will open a blank page from which you can not go back, so just press the windows button (to go to homescreen).
Open a file explorer that works for you and go in applications/install/00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000/ and here you have all the folders with the icons you wanted.
From here you can copy/paste like in the methods to install from above.
V2
Check out in the first post!! Today I added v2 (if you want all icons, you must download both v1 + v2)
Don't forget to leave a feedback , and of course I will still make other icons if you want, just leave a list
Finally someone has taken the initiative, well done fantastic work!
P.S. Can you please add Navigon icon on your next release, Thanks!

To be honest, most of us are doing everything we can to get some colour into our phones and get rid of the drab WP standard, this mod is the total opposite to what a lot of people want!
My phone has every mod I could lay my hands on to make the home screen and program list look as interesting as possible instead of the plain and boring one colour theme Microsoft try to make us have.
If you could modify this to make the phone more colourful instead of less then a lot more people would want it.

I posted this in 2011, but I'm still on Windows Phone, for sure it's my last Windows Phone till they will work harder for this OS and they will bring more apps (I'm referring to the popular apps and games)
And to answer to your comment, I'm telling you just that...this OS it was called METRO and it was looking more 'metro' when it was in one color and that's why I open this thread, but now, a lot of apps will make there icon transparent to look the best with the new background of the start screen.
Have fun with this OS!!!

im pretty sure this will be my first and last handset with windows phone too, After this im off to android!
I came to windows phone after years and years with windows mobile and this terrible looking and basic o.s was a real shock and major disappointment.
Metro in my opinion was a real mistake and has made this o.s look dull and boring.
Then there's the basic o.s, I can't believe how stripped out this is, every single decent feature or setting has gone, Windows mobile was 1000x better than windows phone, Microsoft have lost there way and its a shame.
I understand what you tried to do and you did what you wanted very well, I was just saying that it might have been better making this project but with the opposite and added colour and fancy icons, maybe you could have done both.
I am in no way trying to tear apart your work and any work on this o.s is appreciated, just giving feedback to the obvious dissapointment that you showed when there was little attention from people when you released the mod.
If my comments upset you i apologize, it was not my intention.

Your comment didn't upset me at all.
I believe that Android is way more boring than Windows Phone 8.1 but it has many popular apps and it has the galaxy note line that has the nice pen and this makes me go for it.
