I've been very reluctant to use any methods that require using someone's personal server so I have been searching all over for a better method. I have finally found it! Its been successful for every town/city I've added. Here is the link to the process:
http://www.htc-touch-info.com/en/weather/
Have fun and enjoy your local weather!
Just tried this out a little while ago. Works like a charm. Seems to work on any city that Accuweather.com can find normally.
Good find!
Muppets! It's using my server... just using the old IP method. This won't be working in the next week or two. *scowls*
I suggest using my packages, as they're pretty much guaranteed to stay working, or use your own server as also described on that post. Don't be under the illusion that someone else's server isn't involved here... it is.
Things like this almost make me tempted to take out the old IP method completely before I move...

The HHC uses the same method at present. I'll have a word with the HHC guy actually, see if we can do some DLL swapping...

Of course you can, just use the packages like I've been asking people to for months
Just for the record, and just to clean this one up once and for all - you can't do this without using a translation server. Otherwise I wouldn't have had to write the one I did. Of course, there's nothing forcing you to use MY server, people are welcome to run their own, but there's no "easy fix" without one.
Hopefully next time someone "spots" something like this, they'll search and find this.

I tried that originally, but couldn't get it working. I be a Noob, and not a very bright one.
HHC was just so easy to use and gave the option to use custom (your server)or defult weather server.
Hope they come out with a new HHC that will work (fingers crossed).
By the wasy thanks for efforst, it is greatly appreciated.

For those of you that may be using freestyl I have built an alternative launcher called moGo. It's in an early beta stage at the moment so I'm looking for some people to give it a run on their device.
So far you need freestyl for it to work but in the future I may make it standalone. You can download it and see details at the freestyl forums.
OUAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!
This moGo Rocks !!!!
I use without Freestyl...
only Flash lite 2.1...
i love this... Give a sign when the progs update !!!
I can't find anywhere that explains what this Freestyl is and I couldn't find anything on the forums.
Can anyone give me a short crash course on what exactly Freestyl will do for my phone?
Yes it is possible to use without the freestyl server running but you will not get missed call/SMS/email notifications. Also calling contact favourites will not work.

Yep. There is some documentation over at the freestyl forums. It's a nice bit of kit and the dev told me a new release with some new docs will be coming. I'm hoping this happens soon because the freestyl development seems to have died this year.
I personally need the server to do some extra things and it would be nice not to write the code for the whole lot. However I'm prepared to do it if it comes down to it.
Loaded this freestyl on a fresh clean rom and as with any flash program I have used for a cube or today screen whatever its just too slow. Even just switching into config screen or anything it seems kinda slow and after I ran it for a bit with some other things I started getting out of memory errors if I tried going back into config.
So I didn't get a chance to load your software sorry.
Thats partly why I built my own launcher. I'm only using the server part of freestyl.
Once you have started freestyl press and hold to open moGo as the launcher. The speed/memory issues will then be gone. I'm running it on my dog slow device!
I'll check it out and let you know what I'vegot to report. Thanks!

They took their forums down some time ago when they announced the next release of freestyl (in line with flashlite3).
Any updates on this project or have you decided to discontinue it?

Thanks for the SoftKey changer. That's a big plus. I wanted to change the left softkey since i've had the wing.
I was able to install Kaiser.HTC.Home.v2.0.814.722-schen.weatherpatched.zip and I love the look. Definitely an improvement from what I had. A couple questions about THAT though. First of all, the weather. It's a VERY nice feature. But unfortunately, it's not accurate. It says my city is like 26 degrees when it's like 80 today. If you need to know, my city is Providence and that's in the US. Unless there's another Providence city in the US and that's not mine. But there's only one to choose from.
Also, what's the difference between your BatteryStatusExt_Clock.1.05.CAB and the BatteryStatus I use from Chi-Tai or whatever?

I see. I'll be waiting for that Home Customizer then so I change to fahrenheit. I thought that might be the problem. I like the clock the way it is. So I guess I should keep the battery status I have already?
Also, what method did you use to remove the tray on the bottom? I thought it may be useful, but I don't think so anymore. I can always open stuff by the start menu or the launcher. As long as I can see the status of my battery on the today screen somewhere. Being able to lock it is useful too though. That way I don't accidently dial anybodys # and call them when my phone is in the carrier.
When the phones in landscape, the tray blocks what I have above it. I'd like to keep the appointments thing on the today screen.
i have configured the home plugin to just show the weather, is there anyway to remove the tab icon and the line that is below the city without disturbing the way that the plugin works?

for getting rid of the tray, use a reg editor and find this

delete the value TrayAp.exe and restart your phone, viola!

any you can get rid of the tabs with the customizer but choosing the transparent buttons, but they look like a solid gray

i got the newest HTC from the site i posted. i don't like it, you can't put anything above it. i want battery status THEN HTC home, but it won't let me do that.
Might have already been done, but I was creating a little file store for myself for any animations I might want to use as S2U2 backgrounds or to replace the HTC startup, and thought I'd put it up here as well as a thank you to all the people who taught me how to do it and created animations.
Anyway - the file is pretty big (circa 15mb) and is stored here - http://www.humyo.com/F/5410591-173182029
If anyone has any issue with any of the images I've included, just post and as soon as I see I'll remove them from the zip.
Also, if anyone knows how to make them full screen, that would be most appreciated!
*Addn* Realised that these are designed for a QVGA device, so here's a site that allows you to quickly and easily resize gifs - http://www.smileygenerator.us/t/gifresize/index.php
Resize it by clicking on the scaling factor bit and selecting 2x
The file appears at the bottom so just save it from there and put it on your device.
Hope it's of use to someone!

Well with some tweaking the Wing is really quite a great little device. First hit up the Cabs thread and try some stuff from there. I would recommend the following:
Midomi-Lets you let your phone "listen" to a song then tells you what the song is and who it's by and where you can find lyrics and download for it.
Nimbuzz-A GREAT freeware IM client that supports pretty much every thing under the dang sun.
Marketplace-Simply because its awesome and most of the good stuff is free.
Opera Mini-Because IE STILL sucks, and IMHO, IE6on6 is even worse than IE6 was.
Pocketwit-Nice Twitter client that has a cool Titanium home screen plugin that works with it too.
Uhm..hit up either that thread or http://wwwfreewarepocketpc.net or http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com for LOADS of stuff.
I dont have internet on my phone except for wifi.

how'd you get Pocketwit to install under wm6.5?? Everytime I try the install gets to 100%, then says "failed to run pockettwit.exe in /Storage Card/Pocketwit/pockettwit.exe"
Uhm, I just do heh. It's always just installed fine for me to my storage card. Now if you are talking about the homescreen link for quickpost, than yeah I get an error on that simply because its pointing to the wrong directory, but the program itself installs and works from the start screen fine. Maybe you should get a newer version from pocketpcfreeware...thats where I got my copy from.
I have searched high and low for a cab file for this app. I got a T-Mobile software upgrade for my TP2. Cool, it was alright, nothing by comparison to NRG's ROM. I did however lose a few apps that were pretty cool: Co-Pilot,Visual Voicemail,etc.
The one that is of importance, though, is the Mobile Backup App. I have checked the threads on here and have ended up with nothing. I DO KNOW this file exists for this format of Windows Mobile. I tried to copy the correct files to my SD Card, but apparently am missing some and don't know what to look for anyway.
So, if somebody out there knows what's up with a cab or exe or files that I could extract from the stock rom, I would appreciate a little "heads up." Thanks in advance for any help.

Did we already have you try this cab? I've handed it to a couple of people recently, can't remember if you were one of them
It's the tmo mobile backup that was extracted from the tmo HD2 ROM, and I think it works on the TP2...too Even if it's looking like it's running ok, make sure you test the sync in both directions (saving to their server and backing up from it) before you rely on it.
I still highly recommend myphone to accomplish the same tasks and more, but this is admittedly a lean solution, so definitely use whichever works best for you
THANK YOU!!

Hi Labarum....sorry about that, what thread is it you're mentioning (the 2.5 sense cab thread)? I must have missed that opportunity, my apologies
Yes, that HD2 thread is where I found this copy, but I thought it was the same as WarlockW's posted cab (which didn't have as handy as this copy). I suspect that they're not different by phone model, but rather by WM version...but I'm just guessing there

You have to call T-Mobile and get them to set this app up on your "plan." What I mean is, it IS free to add to you payment plan, but you actually have to call customer care and get them to add it, but like I said it's FREE. Don't ask me why, but they just have it set up that way. I had the same problem, and it took like 10 minutes from dialing their number to having the software work. It's apparently a matter of account settings or something that they have to tweak.

I am running the new NRG ROM in my sig, but IT won't allow me to install mobile backup to this version. I haven't tried the newest ROM from the 13th, but I sense it is gonna have the same problem.

ok, this is just a wilda$$ guess...but isn't it desirable in some cases (like to correct MMS pic size issues) to have some agent ID in your registy other than what the phone actually is? Maybe possible that NRG bakes that in? Or, maybe it just only acceps a certain specific range of WM versions?

Ok, that's an idea, but what exactly could I do to change this? Plus, I am not sure what you mean about agentID. Just thought I would ask, cause I really hate not having this app.

It's a key somewhere in the registry that indicates what model of phone it is (independent of the IMEI), I believe it's used to identify it to the network for things like what size MMS files the phone can handle, etc...and I'm just surmising this becasue I recall that's where I saw the references to it. So, I would probably suggest looking in any threads related to MMS size issues, you'll probably see someone make a reference to a regedit or cab that makes that change, you can reverse-engineer the rest from there I guess.
I rarely go through any of the forum sections other than the rhodium boards and the Tmo HD2 section, so you can probably confine your search to those places if it helps. I'll keep my eyes open for it too.
Still no luck, sir phunkee. I am hoping that when I flash this newest NRG Rom, maybe I will have some luck, but to be honest, I am kinda tired of flashing his new ROM's cuz, they are "supposedly" faster or better, etc.
We will see, but hopefully someone will have a cab or link that could lead me somewhere.
Josh's Black http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 came with Mobile Back Up, Visual Voicemail, Blockbuster, My Account, and the proper keyboard (after initial startup) cooked into the Rom... great for T-mo users like us... does not have the newer tabs, but I find I don't use those much anyway!
I installed the Full Version...
Now if I could just get rid of the transparent slide and make it stock again? (just for clarification... not slider or icons)
Many Thanks Guys! Been looking for this.
