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.

Nice and sweet and at that size, I'm downloading now and disabling NRG Mini Weather to see how it compares but the size is the enticing factor me, cool, thanks
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"
I installed the CAB to the device memory. I get a generic clock icon and some weather info.
Thanks for any help, and of course for the nice plugin (once I can get it to work) I'm on a Moto Q Global.

Sometimes mortscript doesn't register correctly on my cab installs. Go to program files\featherweather and find the mortscript.exe. Click on it and it will say that the extentions are registered. Now try again.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Now I can run setup and get a forecast, but I still don't have a image, it shown a grainy white clock placeholder.
But progress has been made!
I just tried to uninstall this until I get the display issue resolved, and I get the following error occasionally: Cannot execute \Program Filea\FeatherWeather\Feather.exe
Please help.

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.
Ask Your Zooper Question!
Having gone through the, at the moment of typing, 7 pages in this subforum; it quickly became apparent that a lot of members had questions they wanted answered regarding varying components of Zooper Widget Pro ranging from problems "caused" by it to some coding/programming help.
My aim is to create a singular thread where members can dump all of their queries and, hopefully, in that process help each other out where possible. Of course, it wouldn't go amiss if a few wisened senior members (read: not me) can drop in every now and then to aid replying to the questions. If you have some niche/specific questions, by all means go ahead and create your own thread if you can't find your solution here.
As thread starter, I'll make it clear that, unlike Zooper Widget, I'm no Pro. I've been playing around with UCCW for a long time until recently another member advised me to give Zooper a try. It's been a week since then, and I'm still being amazed by the features available. I've still got to learn more about integrating with Tasker in order to add even more functionality but I've got plenty of time to work that out.
Currently, I've been working on a mainly Zooper based homescreen pack which I may post later on. Suffice to say, I have basic knowledge of manipulating codes, editing layout, and dabbled my hands in progress bars, changing icon sets, etc. I think it would be a great idea to spread what I know and, perhaps, get something back as well.
Links to somewhat helpful resources which you should probably have a look at before making your post here:
- Zooper Widget - The Complete Guide VIDEO
- Zooper Widget Conditionals - The Basics VIDEO
- Zooper Widget - Advanced Parameters VIDEO
- Comprehensive list of Zooper Guides, References & Advanced Parameters as compiled by Kwerdenker XDA
Cheers.
Okay, I'll start. I can't get my widget transparent. Under Widget Background I have moved the slider all the way to the right, but when I back out, the setting doesn't stick. Is this a Pro-only feature? Thanks

Definitely a free feature. Ensure you are doing the following:
- Select "Widget Background"
- Slide alpha handle all the way to the right until the first 2 characters after the number sign is 00
- Tap on the 2nd colour preview box (the one which shows the new colour) instead of backing out
- Select force update
- Exit Zooper configuration
- Background should be transparent now
Let me how you get along.

Brilliant... The first happy customer of the thread. Hopefully, the first of many to come...
I have a question about creating a network status Iconset. I read through the official zooper post about creating a battery set, then I changed that to network variables. I set up the images and the config xml and everything "seems" to be ok. When I create the widget and call the Iconset it displays only full signal. I also called dbm and ncsig separately in a text module to compare and troubleshoot.
I get a constant full signal Iconset, 85 dbm and 99% signal without change throughout the day.
I'm at work so I can't post my config text but I set it up to look at ncsig mode and display different icons depending on if ncsig=0 ncsig>0 ncsig>25 ncsig>50.. Etc. I'm not sure what is exactly wrong but nothing updates or changes.
I'm on a Samsung Galaxy, usually getting 4G, with a custom Paranoid Android ROM 3.99+ and I'm using lightning launcher. I would consider myself an advanced User but I can't find any real resources for signal status and bars to work this out on my own.

Without seeing your iconset XML I can't say much but here is my current variant to emulate a network status display. These values follow the ones used in Androids SignalStrength.java.
Code:
$[#NCSIG#>=12] && [#NCSIG#<99]?4$
$[#NCSIG#>=8] && [#NCSIG#<12]?3$
$[#NCSIG#>=5] && [#NCSIG#<8]?2$
$[#NCSIG#>2] && [#NCSIG#<5]?1$
$[#NCSIG#<=2] || [#NCSIG#=99]?0$
Hope this helps you out

I'll try to translate it to more "human readable" terms:
$[#NCSIG#>=12] && [#NCSIG#<99]?4$ => If #NCSIG# is equal-or-larger then 12 and smaller then 99, signal strength is four bars
$[#NCSIG#>=8] && [#NCSIG#<12]?3$ => If #NCSIG# is equal-or-larger then 8 and smaller then 12, signal strength is three bars
$[#NCSIG#>=5] && [#NCSIG#<8]?2$ => If #NCSIG# is equal-or-larger then 5 and smaller then 8, signal strength is two bars
$[#NCSIG#>2] && [#NCSIG#<5]?1$ => If #NCSIG# is equal-or-larger then 2 and smaller then 5, signal strength is one bar
$[#NCSIG#<=2] || [#NCSIG#=99]?0$ => If #NCSIG# is equal-or-smaller then 2 or or equal to 99, signal strength is not existent (special case)
You would have to port these conditionals as <test>'s to make your icon set. You can see from your XML that your values for NSIG were not in the correct value-range to make the icon change in any way
If you haven't seen it yet, here is the official tutorial on how to make icon sets for Zooper that explains the general structure and some caveats you have to keep in mind: Simple ZW Battery Iconset example

Could you explain a bit more of what you mean by "can't add any skin to my homescreen". Are meaning 3rd party apps such as Themer or Buzz out-fitting your homescreen in a new skin or something.
Also, you mentioned you are on Paranoid Android rom. I heard one of its main features is changing dpi. Currently, I too am on a custom rom in 240dpi and I can assure you 3rd party apps attempting to apply a new skin to a dpi other 320dpi has a very high tendency to break. If that's the case, perhaps try to change dpi settings through the appropriate Xposed module to see if that has a more positive effect.

The site you linked seemed to be pretty thorough in its instructions. I looked around and couldn't find much to add to that. Personally, I simply use Gmail so it's easy enough to link to that account. I'm guessing you've looked here as well.
It seems as if K9, and some other alternate e-mail providers, are not supported all that well with Zooper at the moment. Even with Tasker integration.
EDIT: Hold on, I have 2 email accounts; 1 Gmail & 1 Yahoo. I'm gonna download K9 & check if I can make it work with Zooper somehow. Let you know in a few.
2nd EDIT: That's a negative. Couldn't get K9 to work with Zooper. Kept giving me "-1" as unread number. Maybe wait for future updates for a fix.

I use Gmail and the Email app that is found stock with android. I got counters to work for the email app with tasker integration. Only problem I have with it is that I have to open the app in order to clear the number (so if I delete the email from the notification, I still have the unread count as 1 due to not opening the app). It's a work in progress.
thanks
thanks for the info...maybe the DPI setting is causing the problem...whenever i tried to apply any skin...my zooper widget just froze up and pop up the notification saying that my zooper has stop responding...i will tried your solution. thanks again for helping.

I was thinking of doing it all with zooper widget (like the google page - none of those are actual icons, it's all zooper widget.) in order to position things properly, because the launcher grid doesn't allow actual icons to be placed in appropriate positions.
I need some music controls somewhere too - maybe at the bottom of the google page, or the apps page if I split the rectangle background?
Also, I'm thinking of swapping the position of the top 'navbars' and the bottom searchbar, so that I can have a persistent google search (which only displays on the top with no option to place it on the bottom (Nova Launcher). This would require changing the wallpaper background to have the zooper widget search box as part of the background, with the actual search widget on top of it, unless there's a way to have the search zooper widget act/behave exactly like the google search bar?
I plan to release the files when done if anyone is interested
Lock screen is temporary until I figure out what to do with that - ideas/suggestions?
Thanks in advance guys.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
With a layout as clean as you have now, I would be concerned that putting in music controls would complicate things unnecessarily. You might consider hiding the music controls using popup widget 2, or something similar. This would allow you to have music controls at the touch of a button, but not persistent (so that if you aren't listening to music they aren't in the way).
Auto popup with important info (short)
Hello,
I have been on this forum for a short moment now. And like to say thank you first for all the help so far. Thank you for your patience too!
You guys and girls have helped me root and customise my phones.
On topic:
I see there is a need to educate users for the right way to post messages. I suggest a kind of popup with the most important rules.
One of the important issues is that the forum is being filled with posts that are not at right place.
Like developer forum where questions are asked. I myself made myself guilty as well. Been thinking how to correct it.
The solution might be as follows:
- Create a popup that shows the most important rules.
- The same popup has a link to the more complete rules page.
- at the end people sign they acknowledge they have read it and understand.
- Then people can press ok
- A new popup shows (based on login). It shows a quiz and will ask questions. If the user does not know, he /she will not get access to
the forum at all!
- All users must complete this test! Not completing equals no access. After completing you will be sure the user knows the rules.
- Extra precausion, or called penalty if a user does something that is not right. No warning given, but the penalty will be given like
unable to login. Let's say 2 days to start with. With a second violation the period is extended to 1 week. Third time 1 month offline.
Forum admin keep the right to freeze a user and put that user onto a blacklist any time. Which means no access any longer.
Perhaps combine that with IP registration.
I don't know about you, but if I really need an answer fast, I would think twice to make big mistakes again and again.
I know the forum is not the quickest in answering, but people do answer, and usually have good answers.
Hope these suggestions are usefull. B.t.w. this website looks really good! :good: But the content that is offered, outmatches the looks
by a million times. The data, tools,apps made by you guys and roms are priceless!
Keep on the good work
