Chome Weather

This is an app that will add and update, in real time, a new panel on your sliding panels theme called "Weather".
It will install two shortcuts in your Start Menu. A "Weather Update" shortcut, which you can use to update manually, as well as a "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. Pick the Slim Background option to also get a background in the panel according to the current weather condition.
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.
If you want your system font to look like the one in the thumbnails (calibri), download the .cab attached, install and reboot.
Please use the attached "unlock.cab" to unlock your device if you're getting permission errors trying to install my weather cabs. Thanks.
For now, I just released the SLIM version. Haven't had the time to create the cpr file for the regular version yet, but you'll have it tomorrow.
Pick one of the cabs below to install different icons, as seen in the pictures. Install the icon cabs, AFTER you install the main weather cab.
For people that still don't know how to manually update: you go to your start meny and find "Weather Update" and run it. Clicking the middle button on the keyboard, while having the weather slide activated will NOT do anything!
This will most likely enable ALL the panels installed on your phone, so use this utility to get rid of the ones you don't want displayed.

Never mind I found out the problem I need to put Y for connection first.

Hell Yeah
Looks good, can't wait to put it on my phone with the regualar (fat) interface. Thanks for spending your time working into the wee hours of the morning to get this up and running.

this project is interesting and I am following it since begin but why I have toshow on my home the actual weather and actual temeperature? I guess is better to put 3 small weather icons in the slide showing the weather in the next days... no? Or first icon for the actual day forecast and then the following days...

this may sound like a silly question but will this take away any of my current panels????
not to sound like a unappreciating ass, (your doing amazing work), but i agree with Iannik next thing you work on should be a forcast type thing, like a fizz weather type thing with 5 days or something like that.

ok, so this is a very noob question, but i have to be running 6.1 to use this homescreen, correct? i installed it before on my 6.0 dash, and it did nothing...

OrganicM,
Do you still have the latest (working) version using CWelcomeCenter? While working on my new CHome Configurator utility, I might figure out a way to update the plugin without reloading the whole homescreen. If it does work, you will be able to add forecast data into multiple panel and have the manual update process directly from the panel.

Yeah, I think this .cab only works with sliding panels (which are only available in WM6.1). I may be wrong.

LCD Font
Org, do you plan on releasing ver. 1.8 with an LCD system font?

Yes. All that is coming today. I didnd't have time to do all the regular versions last night, so I decided to at least release the slim version for you guys to try. I will get the "Fat" version out today with LCD and not, as well as a SLIM LCD version! Maybe even the IPhone layout if I'm happy with it.... hehe
p.s. I'm also working on a standalone CWelcomeCenter version based on the latest 1.8 code (which I've cleaned up a lot). We will also have forecast data with the current testui version, plus a welcomecenter panel underneath with forecast for a few days!

The iPhone version looks...awesome. I like how the center weather icon overlaps the panel--just a tad. Other people might find that a bug, but I actually like it.

LCD Front
This time use Kavana's Clock with the Staple Center scoreboard look, LA Lakers clock..............!

How!? How do you just keep killin' it O!? Great work dude!

i will offer a few options fo the lcd font

HTC Keyboard - Froyo

Hi all,
maybe this has been addressed somewhere already, but I haven't found it.
In stock Eclair there was a "hide" button on the onscreen keyboard. In all of the Sense Froyo ROMs I've used, there is a "change keyboard layout/language" button instead. Now if I want to hide the keyboard (e.g. to access controls that are under it) I have to either push the menu button or click somewhere outside a text control. This approach is rather clumsy, the "hide" button was much more useful.
Is there a way to restore this "hide" button? Or does someone has an apk of the Eclair sense keyboard that would work with Froyo?
Thanks

I think you need to search for HTC ime mod. HTC keyboard for stock android.

Push the back button and the keyboard disappears

I do know what Sigismund83 means and it's quite frustrating, I've only just got used to hiding the Keyboard by using the back button, but I wish there was a quick-hide button like there was prior to upgrading to Froyo. I've even had a dabble in the Android's keyboard, but the keyboard is too tall and when I'm creating an sms, I'd like to read over what I had prior and it's difficult to do so.
Gonna check out HTC IME Mod to see if that's any good.

Actually perfect! I've got it exactly how I want it after a few minutes of faffing about..
Sigismund83, you can download the keyboard from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=624416
And the settings I use to make it look like Stock IME are as follows..
I deselected "Show candidates bar" and got rid of the "Smiley hack" within the User Interface by [email protected] and it was perfect.
Hope this helps
Oh and before I forget, if you've got Dropbox, best thing to do is upload the apks there then use the Dropbox app to download and the phone will prompt to install. But if you're not lazy (unlike me), just shove them on the memory card and install with ASTRO.

This sure works too, but I'll look for the apk anyway. I was kinda used to this button (similar was also in WinMo devices). But I might as well change my habits

Worked

LeeDrOiD theme

Hey all,
I've been guest reading xda developers for a couple of years and decided after getting an Android based phone (DHD) I should sign up.
After using my DHD for a week I decided to move from the horrible default ROM (Vodafone AU) to a custom ROM (LeeDrOiD).
After working out how to root the phone and install the ROM via ROMManager, everything was great!
One thing I really loved when I loaded on LeeDrOiD was the whole theme had changed - instead of the 3 buttons at the bottom of my phone screen (The up arrow, phone and personalise) I now had 3 buttons in the middle - an image of a phone, 9 small squares made into one (list apps) and another (don't remember what that was).
Upon opening my app list, they all listed in a "3D" manner - you could see the tops of the icons on the next row, and when you scrolled down it was as though they were rolling up.
Unfortunately today I realised that when I set up the phone I used my Google Apps account instead of my normal Google/GMail account. This seemed irreversible without factory resetting the phone.
So I backed up all my apps, made sure all the data on my SD card was safe, and wiped and reinstalled LeeDrOiD on my phone.
Unfortunately now it is on a more default looking setup, with a rounded bottom area and the default options. The icons now just move in a normal fashion when scrolling through them.
So I ask this forum - how can I restore the cool theme/skin that I had?
My apologies if I've used any incorrect terminology - please feel free to correct me, as I'm still learning!
Cheers!
Update:
Apparently what I'm looking for is called "3D Drawer":
hxxp://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c220/supergenesis/snap20101109_112104.png
I understand I need to disable HTC sense to do this (and presumably to have the menu on the home screen I was talking about). This is now making a lot of sense to me, as I remember I wasn't able to use the HTC widgets (which was fine by me).
If someone can point me in the right direction of this, it'd be very appreciated .
Update #2
I've worked it out! For anyone who's trying to work it out in the future:
1) Open Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > All
2) Choose "HTC Sense" (it'll be the one with the picture of the weather/time widget on it - there may be 2)
3) Scroll to "Launch by default"
4) Click "Clear defaults"
5) Hit your "Home" button
6) You should see a popup asking what to open this with - choose "Launcher" and tick the default option
Anyway, feel free to close this thread - thanks for giving me somewhere to think out loud xda-developers .

Sense 4.0 Home for any Android *Launcher Pro* *Theme* *No root needed*

Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro Theme​
​
Hey everyone!
AdA here with the promised Sense 4.0 Launcher Pro layout.
*Features*
-authentic replica Sense 4.0 clock (Minus flip animation)
-HTC Icon set
-HTC Sense 4.0 Wallpaper
-(For those with Launcher pro plus) Dark Transparent sense look alike widgets
-Scrollable dockbar
And the best part is it works with any rom.
Rooted or unrooted? Doesnt matter!
This is in no way a Sense "port" just a themed version of Launcher pro!!! enough said.
Lets get down to business.
(1) First off download all 6 of these files to the root of your SD card.
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345437/launcherpro_backup.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345438/Black_Sensus_4_Clock_Gnex.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345441/HTC_HD_icons.zip
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345443/scene_wallpaper_htc_default.jpg
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345450/Sense_4_clock.apk
http://www.filehosting.org/file/details/345452/lunapic_133773859928208_2.png
(2) Extract the two Zip files with your choice of file manager program.(Do not change the directory just extract) I use ES File Explorer.
(3) Download Launcher Pro from the market and let it install. (If you want the transparent widgets seen in the pics you have to have Launcher Pro Plus)
(4) Press your HOME or HOUSE button to return to the Home screen. If launcher pro was installed then you should have been prompted to select a launcher when you pressed the home button. Choose Launcher Pro and set it as default.
(5)Now press your MENU button once you are at the HOME screen. (Generally on the far left at the bottom of most phones.) Select Preferences. Scroll to the bottom and select Restore Backup. Click yes or restart when prompted.
Halfway there!!!
(4) Navigate to the Root of your SD card with your file manager and select your choice of white or black Sense 4.0 Clock to install it. (You may have to select the unknown source option if prompted)
(5) Return to homescreen and hold press on the screen and select widgets. Select your Sense 4.0 widget you installed. You will have to resize it once its applied by hold pressing on it and to set up the weather and other settings go into your app drawer and select the Sense 4.0 clock you installed to set it up.
(6) Return to homescreen and hold press and select wallpaper. Choose gallery or whatever you use to select images and select the Sense 4.0 wallpaper I had you download.
(7) Now you are about done, you may have noticed that none of the icons work on the dock bar. There are by default 5 icons to the dockbar. I have three of them in the middle using a 100% TRANSPARENT Icon that you downloaded with the rest of the files (lunapic_133773859928208_2.png now located at the ROOT of your SD card)
If you swipe the dockbar to the left you will see five grey plus signs. That is for your second page of icons if you so choose to set multiple pages up.
Go back to the first page of icons.
The first icon on your RIGHT (the message bubble) Hold press it.
It will bring up "Edit Dock shortcut"
This is where you are free to customize what you want where on your dock bar.
Select change shortcut
select applications
and select what app you want to go there I had messaging by default but this is your choice.
Then choose custom icon
It should take you into your defualt gallery app. Locate the Sense Icons I had you download and choose the corresponding icon with the app you chose.
Done. That is the process to set up your shortcuts on the dockbar.
(8) The phone button in the middle has 3 seperate 100% transparent icons. Hold press on each one and select the phone app as the shortcut application. When it asks you to select an icon go back to CUSTOM ICON and find the lunapic_133773859928208_2.png (it comes up as a black blank square on my E4GT in the Gallery) select it and it will make the icon disappear but you can still select the phone.
I used the transparent icons as an overlay over the Dock Background to make the dock theme work right and look good.
That should be about it.
Play with it, Tweak it, Redistribute it, Whatever... just enjoy it.
and dont forget to say thanks if you like it!!!
Enjoy,
Ada​

That's not Sense 4 though. At least not by the screenshots in the first post.

It's not intended to be exact. Just a theme for launcher pro that will give you the feeling of sense without the ram usage that follows.
Keep it crispy, :highfive:

[q] how to change ics stock dialer to another ones

Hello guys
the problem with impossibility change stock ICS dialer by another one from third party is driving me crazy... I tried everything including factory reset and complete wipe. Always the bloody stock dialer come up when use any dialer from the market. Even if I swipped launcher and phone icon on home screen. Third party dialer itself works OK, but when dialing I always getting stock ICS dialer!!
Kinldy ask all for help how to disable stock ICS original dialer that I hate!
Thanks indeed
Ciao

Go to settings for the phone.apk and clear defaults.

I did it, but when dialing form eXdialer, always stock comes up..., I rebooted phone after change, but still in troubless...
any clue?

If you mean the actual dialing (call active), you can't change that. Dialler is the app used to find the number, and the call itself is done through the stock dialer.
Swyped on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus

I recently found the answer in another thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1388274

The OP answered it himself, and did so by updating the #1 post, so it might not have looked like the answer...
The phone icon in the launcher is actually a direct link to the phone app so you just have to replace that with your own chosen dialler app! in 2.x it was a link to the default phone app but in ICS it is different.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So, just drag the phone icon off the bottom area and drag the alternate dialer you want to use down there.

Thanks guys for help.
To make it short, the main problem with dialer is that no possibility of SPEED DIAL. This has been solved by using shortcuts on second home screen for frequent calls. The key problem is impossibility to see right below the contact also a company. Actually I register roughly 1.400 contacts in the phone and not always sure about which caller belongs to what company once I get ring up. So I see only the name and not sure about company that the guy comes from.
Maybe some solution is already existing, so I would really apreciate it from you
Ciao
